Watching dozens of sampans scavenging in the artillery fire, and listening to the bitter and painful wails of hundreds of fresh soldiers, Cui Qi turned his back, held back his tears, and shouted loudly: "The generals will listen to the order and break through to the south!" ”

"General, let's let the last general go down to take over, after all, they are all their own brothers." A general beside Cui Qi pleaded, in his opinion, although these people surrender to the enemy, but the so-called mistakes can be corrected, good is great, give them a chance, they will definitely fight more resolutely, and now that there are insufficient manpower on the ship, let them come back just to solve the urgent need, it is a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone.

But this suggestion was rejected by Cui Qi, and while commanding the fleet, he whispered to the general: "General Yan, do you think I don't want to save them?" Look at the ferocious firepower around here, and then look at the raiding ships around here, if I really send you to rescue, I'm afraid that a single ship will not be able to save it, and you will have to put your own life into it. Xie Shihao's death has made me extremely painful, how can I bear to let you take this risk. ”

"But watching them die in vain, the last general is really uncomfortable." The general was already a handful of snot and tears at this time, although he knew that he couldn't do it, he still wanted to lead the light boat elite soldiers to try.

"Who said they died for nothing?" Cui Qi asked rhetorically: "It is only by relying on these fireships to block our army from the Japanese that we can concentrate on breaking through with all our strength!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the generals were silent, it turned out that in Cui Qi's eyes, these officers and soldiers were just shields and tools for their lives. But the world is hot and cold, at this critical juncture of nine deaths and lives, what else can they do but be silent, oppose? Well, you stay and fight with them; Agree? Brothers who have been together for more than ten years, can they bear to abandon them like this?

"What are you still doing in a daze, General Yan and General Shi, you go to the left flank and the right flank respectively to gather warships, move closer to the main formation as soon as possible, and launch the fourth round of breakthrough as a vanguard force." Cui Qi handed the token to the two generals beside him and commanded sharply.

"Involved in the breakout? What about the left and right defenses? The general surnamed Yan questioned.

"Fang was surrounded on all sides, and had to divide more than half of the ships to participate in the defense, which greatly weakened the offensive strength, not only could not break through the southern defense line, but because of the dispersion of troops, the defense on three sides was not tight, and finally was broken through one by one and encircled and annihilated at sea. Now it is different, there are fireships on all sides, although it will not last long, but if the forward, left and right wings break through together, I believe that the defense line will be broken before the fireships are extinguished. ”

"Just leave the defense to those fireships? The last general thinks it's inappropriate. The general surnamed Shi also took the opportunity to intervene.

"Why do you talk so much nonsense?!" Cui Qi looked really angry, and said impatiently: "Isn't there still this formation, you can rest assured and boldly rush, and leave the defense to me!" ”

"Take this formation as a defensive force?! General..."Everyone didn't expect Cui Qi to take such a risky move.

"What nonsense, just go if you are told to go, I will say ugly things ahead, if you can't take everyone out of the way, you all jump into the sea and feed the fish for me!" Cui Qi didn't say a word, and immediately ordered the herald to convey the news to the various detachments of the formation, with the left and right sides taking over the defense of the left and right flanks respectively, and he himself led the flagship to defend the Kato Yoshiaki division on the north side.

The two generals were confused, the coach in front of them was still so ruthless just now, but now he is so righteous and awe-inspiring, they only now find that although they have followed him for more than 20 years, they still haven't been able to understand him, maybe this is the so-called unfathomable.

Although the two of them had doubts, they knew that it was not advisable to delay on this, and after receiving the token, they led several guards to take a sentinel boat and galloped towards the two wings.

A quarter of an hour later, the new formation was combined, and under the command of the two generals, the fourth round of breakout began. Sure enough, under the onslaught of nearly three times the firepower, Ogasawara was exhausted, and the three improvised lines of defense were quickly breached, and although they were still struggling to support, the collapse of the main formation was only overnight.

Wakisaka and Jiaming are not general, seeing that the southern line is not supported, they immediately sent a fleet to support, but they were blocked by fireships first, and then they were dragged by the elite of the main formation under Cui Qi, and they were really unable to support the end for a while.

Seeing this situation, the morale of the strikers suddenly rose, and the momentum of the offensive doubled, and finally, with a loud "boom", the flagship powder magazine exploded, and the Japanese defense line collapsed, and more than 60 warships broke through the Japanese blockade and accelerated to flee in the direction of Xianshan Island.

"Damn it!" Ogasawara Moyuki pressed the wound on his head and said indignantly: "What is Wakisaka Yasuharu doing, why didn't he come for reinforcements?" Shinhachiro, inform the remaining ships to follow me in pursuit, and we must drive these Koreans to the death, otherwise... I can't afford to pay for Kongo's side. ”

While speaking, Cui Qi also led the remnants to successfully escape from the pursuit of the Japanese army, and pursued the forward fleet from the southern section of the gap.

"Can't let him run, all batteries are ready, aim at the enemy flagship and fire!" The so-called "let the tiger return to the mountain", Zhongheng didn't want to watch Cui Qi break out of the encirclement, and immediately ordered the gunners to stop the attack on other ships, and concentrated firepower to bombard Cui Qi's flagship.

At this moment, a dramatic scene happened, and the powder magazine also exploded and caught fire, but Cui Qi was not as lucky as Suyu. Because the North Korean ships had more ammunition and were more powerful, before Cui Qi could react, the deck was completely blown up, and the entire ship was also blown in two, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Cui Qi and nearly 100 soldiers were sunk to the bottom of the sea, and together with Li Yiqi, Xie Shihao and others, they were permanently buried in this strange sea area.

Subsequently, the tragedy continued to be staged, because the flagship blocked the central channel, the Japanese troops on both sides took advantage of the situation to encircle, the shore artillery also turned the muzzle to continue the bombardment, under the shroud of pessimistic atmosphere, more than 30 warships in this formation, except for a few escaped, all chose to sink themselves, more than 200 officers and soldiers, with infinite remorse and longing for their hometown, followed their commander, towards the dark and lonely deep sea. Compared to being a prisoner of war who is not as good as a pig and a dog, for these bloody men, maybe that is the best place for them.

"I didn't expect that North Korea also has such tenacious troops." Looking at the magnificent scene of the collective sinking of thirty warships, Yoshihiro couldn't help but sigh with emotion. But looking at the forward fleet that was gradually moving away, he regained his composure, hurriedly summoned Ijiin Tadaro, and whispered: "Hurry up and take a shortcut to inform Mamoru Sado, it's time for him to act!" ”

(Everyone, wait for it, I just said in the group, the night before yesterday for the senior brother to see off, drank and injured himself, and went to hang water that day, until this morning it was slightly better, not that I couldn't drink, but I drank too hard, a pound and a half must have, as for less than two pounds, I don't know.) I don't have time to say to everyone, if you want to complain, you can complain about me, and Bear Boy humbly begs everyone for forgiveness. ）
