Chapter 816: Beat the old and the young
Wait, what is the enemy going to do, they met them as soon as they went out to sea, the enemy was obviously going to the remaining ships and ports of the Fifth Fleet, Zhang Qiang felt the enemy's strong hostility.
"How much did the enemy lose?" Zhang Qiang asked Zhang Liwei, general of the Fifth Fleet's harbor garrison fleet, and the sub-fleet of the garrison sailor.
Zhang Liwei saluted Zhang Qiangli, then looked down at the piece of paper and said: "According to statistics, as well as the confessions of the enemy's prisoners, the enemy has a total of 280 warships, warships, including 130 armed merchant ships, most of which are purchased merchant ships, some of which were merchant ships given to them by our army, which were destroyed by us, 80 ships were sunk, 15 ships were seriously injured, 5 ships were captured, and 30 ships followed the little prince to our Fifth Fleet, and the current movement is unknown.
Thirty of the enemy's warships of one hundred and eighty tons, twenty surrendered, ten sunk, thirty-five ships of three hundred tons, fifteen sunk, fifteen surrendered, sixty-hundred-ton ships, thirty-three, thirteen sunk, twenty surrendered, eighty-hundred-ton ships, of which twenty were converted Daifuku ships, ten were sunk, eight were seriously damaged, two surrendered, and eight seriously wounded were destroyed without the will of the enemy. In addition, there were 10 warships of our Fifth Fleet that were captured, one surrendered and nine sunk, and 20 thousand-ton warships, all of which captured ours, three were sunk, one was destroyed, thirteen were seriously wounded and surrendered, and five escaped, and we are sending people in pursuit. ”
After the report, Zhang Qiang asked for a note from Zhang Liwei's hand and counted it, 35 of the enemy's ships were missing, and 63 of them surrendered. According to the information obtained, the enemy obtained from Zheng Zhi and them the seventy warships and warships of the Fifth Fleet of the Huaxia Army Naval Division, and there were many enemies who were damaged and destroyed here, but they were all backward armed merchant ships modified by the enemy, and the seventy warships and warships of the Fifth Fleet were much more expensive and advanced than the enemy's, and they finally obtained sixty-three ships, which could not be compared with the seventy ships obtained by the enemy, and they were simply rubbish.
This also lists the number of captured enemy sailors and soldiers, the number of generals, nearly 10,000, the total strength of the enemy reached 30,000, in this era to drive a sailboat on a ship has to be taken care of by a lot of people, so destroying one, at least dozens of enemy people can be lost on the sea, it is not easy to train dozens of sailors and gunners who can drive ships.
The Huaxia Army also lost nearly 1,500 people in this battle, as well as nearly 1,000 wounded, and the losses were not small.
He gave the note to the attendant military attache beside him, and said, "You have two hours to clean up the battlefield, and then draw some sailors from these captive ships to replenish us, and then send some men on each ship to drive these captive ships and our ships back."
From this, twenty-seven more warships and warships were drawn to replenish us. Let's go to Cam Ranh Bay next, isn't there still a family surnamed Hong, let's destroy it too. Zhang Qiang gritted his teeth when he said this.
These unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, since they don't want to let go of the Huaxia Kingdom, then they can only destroy them, first destroy their sea power, and then destroy the enemy's land power.
There are so many forces, Zhang Qiang can think about it, he can catch a lot of prisoners alone, this time the second prince's sea power was basically destroyed, although they still have nearly fifty warships and warships, but thirty of them are armed merchant ships, with such strength, a detachment of the Huaxia Navy Division can destroy them.
Two hours later, the repaired fleet was reactivated.
This time, the 10 180-ton warships that surrendered were replaced with the artillery and weapons and equipment reserved by the Huaxia Army, as well as some prisoners, but most of them were sailors and gunners on other warships, and these 180-ton warships were used to cover and reconnoiter the left and right of the fleet.
Twenty battleships of 800 tons were also replenished, including five captured from the enemy, four thousand-ton battleships, and one escort escorted back the captured enemy ships and several wounded ships.
The others were also somewhat supplemented with some captured enemy warships and sailors, and the fleet of sailors was expanded to ninety-four, thirty thousand-ton warships, twenty eight-hundred-ton warships, and the rest of the six-hundred-ton warships went back to cover the returning fleet, without bringing them, thirty-two three-hundred-ton warships, eleven one-hundred-eighty-ton warships, a total of ninety-three, plus the Huaxia, ninety-four, which was much larger than the previous fleet of eighty-two.
And the fleet that returned was even more, a dozen scarred 1,000-ton warships, one wounded 800-ton warship, four 600-ton warships that were basically intact, ten wounded 180-ton warships, a dozen scarred 300-ton warships, and nearly 30 warships and warships of both sides that needed to be towed, as well as nearly 30 armed merchant ships loaded with captured and wounded sailors, artillerymen, and soldiers of the Chinese sailors.
There are also nearly 100 ships.
It wasn't fast, but before the sun set, it was enough to get back to the Fifth Fleet's port.
At this time, the little prince didn't know that his father had been captured and separated from them, and they had reached the periphery of the Fifth Fleet's harbor for more than ten nautical miles.
However, he still felt that the firepower of thirty armed merchant ships with a maximum of 800 tons was still not strong enough, and he had to wait for his father to lead a large army to arrive.
Lei Gang looked at the port that was not very well guarded, and said to the little prince: "We can try to fight, we can hang the flag of the Fourth Fleet in Qiongdao, and then rush into the port and take them by surprise." ”
The little prince thought this was a good solution, so an hour later, the Hong family fleet, flying the flag of the ships of the Fourth Fleet, successfully deceived several warships patrolling outside the Fifth Fleet, and entered the port smoothly, but unfortunately, they had just fired a shot, and the shore guns of the port and a few thousand-ton warships moored in the distance to protect the harbor let them know what a poorly defended port was.
Dense shells flew over, and the thirty-two-pound port shore guns directly sank several armed merchant ships that were about to dock to drop off the loads and storm the harbor, and then the smoke of gunfire was confused, the cannon roared, and thirty armed merchant ships, and a thousand-ton warship were all wiped out in the port in less than an hour, and the little prince and Lei Gang were captured by the defenders of the coast guard who came later.
At this point, the water forces of the second prince of the Hong family, as well as their nearly 350 sailors, and more than 2,000 soldiers shipped, were all wiped out.
Half an hour later, the huge fleet of ships escorting the wounded ships returned, and the harbor was extremely busy, and the harbor was protected by nearly thirty warships and warships, and the rest were moored in the harbor for various reasons, and then consigned to the shipyard for repairs.
It is estimated that it will not be repaired until next year, because there are too many damaged warships and warships.
Nearly 30,000 prisoners were taken to the prisoner camp and handed over to the camp set up by the correctional camp here.
In the distance, Zhang Qiang led a fleet with more than 80 percent blood to sail towards Cam Ranh Bay.
