Standing on the bridge of Zhiyuan, Deng Shichang looked at the black dot that was gradually approaching in the southwest, and then glanced at the south in amazement. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In the 27 years since he joined the army, he has only returned home three times.

I wonder if there is a chance to go back and worship my parents after this battle?

How could Deng Shichang not understand the advantages of the Japanese rapid-fire guns mentioned by Chen Jinhua, and even know far more about the Japanese warships than Chen Jinhua.

Rate of fire, intensive firepower, speed and burst speed, military appearance and discipline -

It is no exaggeration to say that the comprehensive strength of the Japanese combined fleet at this time has already left the Beiyang Naval Division far behind.

In this battle, it would be fine if there were not many Japanese warships, but if the whole division came.

It must be more than lucky!

Deng Shichang understands the truth, and he understands it.

But as the so-called big husband does something, he doesn't do something.

Some things are like in the Battle of Toshima, Fang Boqian raised the white flag several times in order to escape for his life.

He Deng Shichang disdains to do it, and he is even more ashamed to do it.

"If the husband dies, he dies! Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat. ”

As Deng Shichang gently read out the words and phrases of Wen Tianxiang bravely dying under the butcher's knife of the invaders of the Yuan Dynasty, his heart was full of blood.

A trace of perseverance, a trace of decisiveness, and a trace of relief appeared on Deng Shichang's face.

He smiled slightly, gently stroked the head of his dog 'Sun' leaning on his legs, and said to the two people beside him: "Jin Yu, Ying Lin, as a navy, fighting, burying the sea in battle, isn't it the best destination for you and me?" ”

The sister ships of the third squadron of the column lined up side by side, coming from afar and passing through the distance, closely following the distance of 400 yards behind the Zhiyuan and Jingyuan ships.

Lin Yongsheng, the chief officer of the warship, Chen Rong, the chief officer, Sun Jiang, the chief manager, Jiang Youren, the second officer of the gun, Han Jin, the second officer of the gun, Li Lianfen, the first mate of the torpedo, and a group of soldiers stood on the bridge and were nervously arranging various pre-war matters.

"All the wooden ladders in the cabins were removed, and the soldiers were warned not to hide in fear, otherwise, they would be reported and severely punished after the war; Remove all the sampans and throw them all into the sea, the ship survives and survives, the ship dies and dies! ”

Lin Yongsheng glanced at the tall mast: "Hang the dragon flag on the top of the mast to show that you will fight to the death." ”

Soon, I saw Jingyuan throwing down the sampan, Dingyuan, Zhenyuan, Zhiyuan, Chaoyong, and Yangwei -

All the ships also discarded their sampans in the turquoise sea, as a sign of their determination to live and die with the ships.

"My lord, the rest of the ships are throwing their sampans to show their determination."

Ke Jianzhang, the second mate, strode to the bridge and told Fang Boqian.

"I can defeat the Japanese fleet by throwing a sampan, should I laugh at them for being stupid, or should I despise them for being funny?"

Fang Boqian's round and jade tender face has been maintained for a long time, and at this time, the card white is amazing, looking at the 29-year-old fellow gang leader next to him, he said dejectedly:

"In the Battle of Toshima, it's not like you haven't seen the dense rapid-fire artillery on the three ships of Yoshino, Naniwa, and Akitsuzu; The firepower of these three ships alone is almost equivalent to half of the firepower of our fleet! If you don't retreat to the mouth of Lushun, relying on the co-attack of the Lushun Golden Mountain Fort, what will you do to fight others? ”

Listening to Fang Boqian's frustrated words, Ke Jianzhang couldn't help arguing: "Guan Belt, this battle has not started yet, and I don't know who will kill the deer; It's true that their artillery is fast, but our artillery caliber is huge, and everyone fights, so it's not weaker than them! ”

After the Battle of Toshima, Fang Boqian's shameless lies were soon exposed and known in China.

Not to mention being greedy for life and afraid of death, he also put up a white flag several times on the way to escape, which is simply shameless and cheap!

In the past two months, the brothers on the entire Jiyuan ship have no face, and they all want to walk with their heads in the butt ditch.

On the 14th, he went to Jinmen to pick up the troops, but he still ignored military discipline and ran back to the house in Jinmen like his butt was on fire, looking for his mother-in-law Chen and Ge to fight cannons.

The generals who came out of the Fujian Ship Master School have always looked forward to Liu Buchan as the leader.

Because everyone looks down on Ding Ruchang, who is greedy for money and lustful, and is completely blind to the layman in the water war, but he is still greedy for power.

It's this Fang Boqian and Ding Ruchang's temper.

When Ding Ruchang rented out the store in Weihaiwei, he had a dirty relationship with Fang Boqian, who was also building a house next door.

Moreover, he Fang Boqian is still in Yantai, Weihaiwei, Jinmen, Fuzhou, buying houses and building apartments everywhere, and hiding in gold houses.

Ding Ruchang likes to play the popular number one card with prostitutes in Weihaiwei, and Fang Boqian is not inferior, the two of them fought for a prostitute a few years ago, and everyone knew that they were in an uproar.

However, it was these like-minded people who didn't know each other that made Fang Boqian take the initiative to take refuge in Ding Ruchang, act as the vanguard of Ding Ruchang's subordinates, and oppose Liu Buyun everywhere.

"Haha,——"

Hearing Ke Jianzhang's words, Fang Boqian seemed to have heard a big joke, raised his head and pointed to the big chimney with thick black smoke behind him, and then pointed to the Japanese Combined Fleet that was constantly approaching in the battle line.

"It's all at this time, and I'm still reluctant to burn a little good coal to enhance the power of the ship, look at the people! Do people have silver, do we lack silver? ”

"Since it's rotten from top to bottom, compared to greed, from top to bottom, they are competing to play with women, enjoy wealth, and compete for power, Lao Tzu is not stupid, why can't you play with women with silver? This big pool of black water, if you want to keep them from soiling you, you have to become darker and dirtier than them! ”

Fang Boqian laughed nervously and said: "Let's put it, let it go, these small sampans don't need rapid-fire guns, they are 47mm Habegkais, and if they go down, they will be torn apart and all played; Let me sit, I really don't dare to sit! ”

When Fang Boqian loudly defended his past or future behavior, the fifth squad was also under the command of Huang Jianxun and Lin Luzhong, and was nervously preparing for the final deployment before the war.

This sister ship has a tonnage of 1,350, a theoretical horsepower of 2,400 horsepower, and a theoretical speed of 15 knots.

The main guns were 254mm 'Armstrong MK1' guns, which were placed at the bow and tail of the warship, and the rate of fire was 2.5 minutes per shell.

The secondary guns consisted of 4 119mm 'Armstrong' guns with a rate of fire of 1.5 minutes.

What's more important is that the age of 13 years, coupled with the lack of maintenance of the ships, has made the equipment of the two warships aging and decaying, even to the point that as soon as the guns are fired, the cannon bodies will fall off rust and slag.

The inferior coal burner corroded the old boiler, and the power and speed did not even reach the standard seventy percent.

The two ships were in charge of Huang Jianxun, and Lin Luzhong commanded the ships, and together with the soldiers of the whole ship, with a passionate mood, followed Jiyuan, 400 yards behind Guangjia.

At this time, they could not have imagined what kind of situation they would face in the next few hours, with their warships and comrades.

"Well, the courage of the sons is commendable; How can my sailor not win this battle? ”

Ding Ruchang, who was standing on the bridge of the Dingyuan ship, saw that the ships not only perfectly realized his tactical intentions, and discharged the double-sided-side 'horn fish through the squad formation', but also abandoned the sampan on the ship.

I couldn't help but laugh happily.

Japanese Combined Fleet, flagship Matsushima.

Ito Yuheng put down the telescope in his hand in surprise and solemnly, although he finally caught the Beiyang Sailor, and it was not one or two small loaches, but a group of big fish.

However, this school of fish seems to be too big, and the big Ito Yuheng is a little worried about whether his fleet will eat bad stomach if he rushes over.
