"Commander, seeing the two warships of the Qing army marching side by side, it seems that they are Dingyuan and Zhenyuan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The chief of staff of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Sameshima Oki, put down the binoculars with an excited and dignified face.

Hearing Shark Island's words, Ito raised the telescope in his hand again, the telescope in his hand was specially customized by the empire from the Italian lens master at a high price, and it has a resolution and field of view distance much higher than that of ordinary telescopes.

In the northeast, thick smoke billowed from the chimneys of the two ironclad ships of the Qing Kingdom, and they were rushing towards this side with great momentum.

On the big ship, with big black braids on his head and bare arms, and dark-skinned soldiers, stood on both sides of the huge cannon at the bow of the ship.

On the mast of the cruiser on the right, the yellow dragon flag of the five-clawed regiment of the Beiyang Naval Division, and the five-color horizontal striped naval commander flag fluttered in the wind.

"It's the Dingyuan ship, and Ding Ruchang is also on the ship."

Ito put down his binoculars, took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time, it was already 12:05 p.m.

The Combined Fleet was only about 11 nautical miles away from the ship.

"Command! The flag of the combined fleet was raised, and the whole fleet maintained a speed of 5 knots, with the first guerrilla group in front and the main team following up 1 nautical mile behind, forming a single-column battle line; ”

Ito Yuhiro began to issue combat orders: "In addition, Nishikyo Maru and Akagi will move to the non-combat ranks of the left rear flank of the battle line of the team to follow up; Officers and officers of each ship can smoke, relax for a short time, and then immediately enter the battle sequence and stand by! ”

Yalu River North Exit Wharf.

Although it was time to start the meal at this time, except for a few hungry ghost reincarnated guys who were gobbling up, all the other army generals ran to the riverbank and looked southwest.

A large number of Qing troops waded through the Yalu River, which was not too deep, to divide the tributaries of the island, and ran to the southernmost point of the island to look at it from afar.

Nie Shicheng, Liu Shengxiu, alternate Dao Zhang Xiluan,——

A large group of generals stood on a high slope on the river bank, looking at the Qing and Japanese warships that were approaching in the southwest.

"Oriental children really ate the gall of a leopard, and dared to touch the tiger whiskers of our Beiyang warship; Haha, if you catch them this time, they will definitely have no return! ”

Liu Shengxiu said excitedly: "Our ironclad ship in the Beiyang is known as the first in Asia and the ninth in the world; The clown who jumps off the beam doesn't know the height of the sky, it's like carrying a lantern in the toilet - looking for! ”

"Haha, my lord said it well; This group of blind Japanese dogs won a game in Pyongyang, and they really thought they were invincible in the world; This time, they will all go to the sea to be the eighth king! ”

The crowd around Liu Shengxiu will all praise it, especially a few children of the Liu family from Liu Mingchuan's clan, who are even more shouting and cheering.

Feng Guozhang, a staff member standing beside Nie Shicheng, twisted his eyebrows and whispered, "Junmen, have you noticed?" The smoke from the chimneys of the Japanese is much lighter than ours, and it is green smoke. ”

"Haha, this old man is very observant;"

Liu Shengxiu, who was on the side, laughed again when he heard this, pointed to the smoke cloud in the distance and said: "This shows that our sailors are in full swing, and they are going to beat the broken ship of the Japanese with full horsepower, and the Japanese see that our big ship in the Beiyang is fierce and strong, and he is so frightened that his hands and feet become soft-footed shrimp, and the boiler can't burn." ”

"Exactly, exactly!"

The surrounding garrison guerrilla generals nodded in approval of Liu Shengxiu's statement.

"What do you think?"

Nie Shicheng is not as superficial as Liu Shengxiu and his young masters, and although his staff is only 26 years old, he has 10 years of military experience, and his vision is unique and sharp.

After joining the army, because of his excellence, he was sent to the Beiyang Military Academy and became a cadet of the first phase of the academy.

After graduating, in his own Luyu Defense Army, he not only led the troops well, but also had a flexible brain and built a lot of achievements in military training, so he deliberately promoted him as his military staff and often took him with him.

According to Nie Shicheng's understanding of Feng Guozhang, he is obviously not a person who likes to talk nonsense.

He must have something to say and have his own unique opinions.

"Your Excellency is focused on military training, so you don't pay much attention to external chores;"

Feng Guozhang said politely, but he didn't think so in his heart.

himself, the military gate, and the generals in the Luyu Defense Army, most of them are black and thin, where are they like Liu Shengxiu's Ming Army, all of them are white and tender with fat heads and big ears.

Is it really a pig farm?

Slandering in his heart, Feng Guozhang continued: "A few years ago, because of the matter of eight-groove coal and five-groove coal, the water division and Kailuan Coal Mine had a dispute, but in the end, it was over, and the inferior eight-groove coal was still burned; The reason why the Japanese fleet did not show up was not because they did not increase their firepower, but because they burned anthracite coal imported from the West. ”

As Feng Guozhang finished speaking, there was silence on the hillside.

Everyone is like looking at a monster, looking at this stupid comparison in his early twenties.

Who is the general office of Kailuan Coal Mine?

It's Zhang Yi!

The family is the house slave of the old alcohol prince, although the old alcohol prince has returned to the west, but the son of the family is the current Guangxu Emperor!

Lafayette's 60th birthday, Kailuan Coal Mine served 30,000 taels of snowflake silver, I heard that it was very popular with Lafayette.

If these words reach Zhang Yi's ears, he will offend a series of prominent shareholders in the DPRK and China, and he will have to shed a layer of skin if he does not die.

There are some things in this world, just understand it in your heart, why do you want to say it?

It shows that you are capable and clever.

With such a big mouth, it is simply a scourge spirit, and sooner or later it will die on these two mouths without deadbolts!

And didn't you slap Admiral Liu in front of so many people?

"Shut up, Lord Chaozhong is also something you can slander? Get the hell out of here! ”

Nie Shicheng loudly reprimanded Feng Guozhang before Liu Shengxiu's face changed and exploded, and then said to Liu Shengxiu apologetically: "Liu Junmen, children don't know the body, if you forgive him, he doesn't know this bastard." ”

"Humph!"

Liu Shengxiu was embarrassed by a low-level junior officer, and he was very unhappy in his heart, so he snorted coldly and stopped speaking, but continued to look south at the gradually approaching Qingri ship group.

Suddenly, on the entire hillside, everyone shut up and looked at the south.

Although he knew that the adults were protecting themselves, Feng Guozhang, who was driven down the hill, was still extremely indignant in his heart.

Snakes, snakes, rats, and rats who are corrupt and form parties for personal gain.

An Neng is undefeated!

Beiyang Naval Division ship group, flagship Dingyuan.

Ding Ruchang, Liu Buyun, Hannagan, and the three of them stood on the bridge, watching the Japanese ships that were gradually approaching.

"The one at the front of the Japanese ship should be the Yoshino, a new ship that was launched last year; The design is novel, the firepower is extremely fierce, and the hull is about the same size as our Dingyuan. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Buyun couldn't help but scold: "These Chilean bastards, if they don't transfer the ship to our sailors, our Beiyang will also have a cutting-edge dome cruiser of the same level as the Yoshino!" ”

"They're changing formations, it doesn't seem to be very big, but the two smoky warships are listed separately."

Ever since Hannagan became acquainted with the sailors, he has been carrying several books on naval warfare with him all year round.

It describes in detail the glorious Anglo-French naval battles of June 1st, the Anglo-French naval battles of Trafalgar, and the naval battles of Iolisa.

So Hannagan easily saw the battle formation of the Japanese Combined Fleet, and said with a hint of disdain in his mouth: "It's a classic and old battle formation, just a battle line!" ”
