Chapter 548: Gunboats and Cruisers

"Boom!"

At the moment when the 150mm shell hit the Pancheng, the huge kinetic energy of the projectile smashed the hull of the Pancheng slammed, and the soldiers on the ship were shocked and staggered, and they all screamed and rose off the ground.

The moving parts on the ship, the huge piercing sound from the dislocation and friction, mixed with the loud sound of the cannonball hitting the wall of the ship, stabbed the Japanese soldiers on the ship with a splitting headache, cracked eardrums, nose and eyes bleeding.

There were two unlucky ghosts who were smashed into a rolling hoist, and one of them happened to reflexively hit the steam pipe of the gunboat's bow gun, and his spine was broken in two with a soft 'click'.

"Ahh

The soldier screamed and spurted blood all over his mouth.

The other was a 'bang', and his head hit the thick iron plate of the cabin fiercely, and suddenly a big hole was opened, and the blood flowed, and he fainted.

In normal times, the medics would have run over and bandaged the wounds of the soldier who could have been easily saved.

However, in the current situation of dooming the whole ship, no one paid attention to his life or death, and they all got up with a fierce face, ran to their posts, and fired back.

"Shoot, shoot!"

Feeling that the gunboat under his feet had lost power, Honda shouted hoarsely: "All the soldiers are on deck, bombard me!" ”

"Boom!"

Another 150mm caliber projectile smashed into the stern deck of the Pancheng from a high-altitude violent parabola, and the bow of the Pancheng smashed by the surging kinetic energy suddenly lifted high and slapped heavily into the sea.

After easily piercing through the thin iron plate in the stern of the Iwajo, the armor-piercing projectile continued to penetrate a compartment of iron plates, and finally smashed into the bilge, tearing a huge hole in the bottom plate of the Iwajo.

A large amount of sea water rushed into the ship's hold, and the stern of the Pancheng began to sink, and the bow of the ship gradually rose upright.

"Ahh

The Japanese troops on the deck of the ship slid into the icy sea.

The shelling of the Beiyang Naval Division gradually stopped.

By the time the Dingyuan sailed to the vicinity of the Pancheng, the small gunboat had completely sunk into the sea, and the corpses of Japanese soldiers and the light wreckage of the gunboat were floating everywhere on the sea.

"Release the small sampan and salvage the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, this is our record!"

Seeing the corpses of the Japanese soldiers floating on the sea, Ding Ruchang couldn't help but burst into tears, and his sailors finally achieved a breakthrough of zero.

It's no longer a 'waste dim sum' that is insulted by the government and the wild!

At this time, Jiyuan and Guangbing all put down the evidence of the sampan salvage, and there was cheers everywhere.

Because when the soldiers of the Pancheng fell into the sea one after another, the shelling of the Beiyang Naval Division continued, and the huge sound waves and waves had already shocked these Japanese soldiers to death.

The fleet salvaged a total of 56 Japanese corpses, as well as 3 half-dead Japanese naval soldiers.

"It's a pity, it would be nice if there were a few more, let's also have a 'prisoner'."

Ding Ruchang, who got the report, looked disappointed.

"Military Gate, a gunboat plus 56 corpses, 3 prisoners, and a cruiser plus 59 corpses, which merit ——, more inspiring the hearts of our people? Also in front of foreigners, give us face in the Qing Dynasty? ”

Liu Buyun walked over and stood beside Ding Ruchang and asked in a low voice.

"Of course it's a cruiser——, there's no way about it, the anti-Japanese army is watching from the ship."

Ding Ruchang's mind was moved, but he immediately categorically denied it.

"This guy Wang Shizhen brought it up, and he said that he could ensure that their people would cooperate with us; This is a matter of glory for the country! ”

Liu Buyun said in a low voice: "Wang Shizhen, who led the team, was a servant of 'Ye Da Nerd' before, and Liu Gangzhi, the deputy captain, was the nephew of Luo Rongguang's mother-in-law. ”

"Beiyang, Beiyang——, our Beiyang has fallen apart with the fall of Zhongtang, and it is a small fish and shrimp who dare to bully!"

Ding Ruchang couldn't help but burst into tears again.

I don't know whether it is to remember the dominance of the Beiyang seas, or to fear the future in such a difficult time.

"As soon as Zhongtang fell, Emperor Liu Kun was extremely protective of him, and as soon as the war stopped, he would let him leave Zhili, Weng Tong's literary spirit was too heavy, his short-sightedness and Beiyang's many years of filth were difficult to sort out, Wang Wenshao was known as 'oil-soaked loquat nucleus', how could he be responsible for the sailor?"

Liu Buyun was also full of melancholy, and he was at a loss for the future: "This water master is a very silver-consuming thing, and even Zhongtang has been struggling all these years, not to mention those who are unwilling to take care of the water master; Alas, three turns around the tree, what a branch to follow! ”

"Haha, people say 60 ears, I am 59 years old this year, as soon as the war is over, I will write to the officer, and this sailor will look at you in the future."

Ding Ruchang, who has been fighting with Liu Buchan for many years, has seen and understood a lot of things after the Battle of Dadonggou.

Especially after the departure of Deng Shichang, Lin Yongsheng, Lin Luzhong, Huang Jianxun, Lin Taizeng, and even Fang Boqian, this old man secretly felt heartache and cried in the middle of the night.

"Junmen, if you retreat again, it will be even more difficult for our sailors in the future."

Liu Buyun smiled wryly.

"Zixiang, you are a fan of the authorities."

"How?"

Liu Buyun looked at Ding Ruchang puzzled.

"When a tree falls, the monkeys on the tree are in two situations, one is to break up and run to other things, and the other is to find another tree and gather together."

"Junmen, isn't your dumb riddle my headache just now," after listening to Ding Ruchang's analogy, Liu Buyun couldn't help but say discouragedly, "Where is there a big tree for us to wear?" ”

Ding Ruchang turned his head and glanced at the headland of southern Liaoning that was gradually moving away behind him.

"Shhhh

Liu Buyun gasped and said: "How is this possible, how old is He Changying, but the official hat of the second grade is still a military attaché?" The anti-Japanese army has only appeared for half a year. ”

"So you're a fan of the authorities, aren't you? Sheng Huaixuan, Yuan Shikai, including He Changying, who was born out of nowhere, are all Beiyang successors selected by Lao Zhongtang; Sheng Huaixuan is a literati and is unarmed; Yuan Shikai, Zhongtang gave him the opportunity to go to North Korea to supervise the army, but he didn't go, and later went to Liaoyang all the way, and even lost Liaoyang Fengtian, which was considered a waste; Only this He Changying! ”

Ding Ruchang sighed and said, "Military attaché? Have you forgotten that the Hunan army and the Huai system all relied on the army to become a force? This time it's not to use the East to fight our Beiyang, and the court dares to remove the middle hall? ”

"I'm still too young to have a foundation."

Liu Buyun still disagreed incredulously: "If the middle hall is still in position, and the escort is ten years old, it will be quite a spectrum." ”

"Zixiang, think about it, the silver of Nanyang, the elite soldiers of the anti-Japanese army; The power of the world is nothing more than silver and knives, he does not rely on the court for silver, he holds tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, after the war subsides, even the court can only be appeased, He Changying is only twenty-four years old this year! ”

Ding Ruchang's eyes flashed with a sparkle and said faintly: "Besides, you know what the anti-Japanese army is thinking in their hearts?" What are they doing now? For example, the connection with us. ”
