0665 Sino-Japanese Naval Battle
"President, the Japanese asked in the flag language, asking what kind of army we are? Why did they come here, they sent an inquiry from the police. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" a naval officer came to report.
President Meng was in the command room of the flagship, and smiled faintly: "Tell them that we are the British Royal Navy from Hainan, let them dodge, we have to dock to replenish water and food, as well as coal!" If you don't get out of the way, don't blame us for being rude! ”
"Yes! President. "The officer went down.
Instructor Albert Kirchbach the Great and Instructor Albert Kirchbach Jr. nodded almost at the same time, doing this, the Japanese don't know what to do, if they want to pretend, they have to pretend to be like that, in or still, the army of the British Empire is hanging like this.
"President, this statement is really good, so that the Japanese will not doubt it." Albert Kirschbach Jr. complimented him heartily.
"Whether they doubt it or not, in fact, we don't need to use this method, our military strength is much stronger than theirs, but the war is also tricky, it is better to save some things." President Meng smiled calmly.
Princess Katrina Kafu looked at the Japanese fleet, "They look okay, but it's really bold for such a fleet to dare to hit Taiwan." ”
"In order to ensure that our land is not violated, in order to ensure that our nation can rise in the forest of the world, we will see the real chapter of this war. What kind of country the Japanese are, you will know later, this is a country of robbers, and if you don't kill them, you will never have peace. President Meng held the binoculars and watched the movements of the Japanese intently, he was not worried about whether he would fight the Japanese, but worried that the Japanese would escape, and if he fled, it would not be easy to do.
President Moe's hatred for the Japanese has gone deep into the bone marrow.
But the Chinese of this era certainly do not have such a deep understanding of President Moe, even if a small number of fishermen have suffered from the Japanese, it is difficult for all Chinese people to hate the Japanese.
This is a problem that President Moe needs to solve.
If we leave it in modern times and fight the Japanese, where is the need for mobilization?
Saigo got a report from the province, sweating profusely, "I'm afraid it's coming at us, and I'm most afraid that it's a British warship disguised by the Chinese army!" The number of this fleet is very consistent with the number of Chinese navies that we have mastered! ”
Saigo Congdao is smart, what he said is not wrong, and the officers nodded one after another, all agreeing with Saigo's opinion.
"Pass my orders, be ready for war at any time, and keep all warships at full speed!" Saigo ordered loudly.
The state of full speed is a state, not to say that it starts to drive up quickly, but to burn the steam engine vigorously, ready to work at any time!
"Hey!" The Japanese officers were busy, playing flags and horns, and all the sailors urgently began to arrange their artillery and prepare for firing.
When the Japanese saw the fleet coming from the opposite side, all of them flying the British flag, they could not immediately be filled with hatred.
The Japanese are a brutal, outwardly strong and capable team of dogs.
They especially worship the strong, in their eyes, the British, the French, the Americans, these powers, that is, the strong, go to eat the of the British, the French, the Americans, they will also feel that they are eating cake.
The prestige of the Americans in China is not very good, but the prestige in Japan is very high, because it was the Americans who used black ships to pry open the door of Japan and accelerate the colonization of Japan.
In the eyes of the Japanese, the British are the fathers of the Americans, so the Japanese have more respect for the British.
Now President Moe's warships are all flying the British flag, which makes the Japanese want to mention the spirit, but they can't mention it, war, to a large extent, is determined by the human spirit, the Japanese, will only bully those they feel weak.
The Chinese, on the contrary, often meet the strong and strong, especially the Chinese army, in the powerful army, do not pay attention, this is because President Meng adopts the construction system of the Prussian army.
Hum! President Meng snorted in his heart, Lao Tzu has thirty-three warships, and I will beat you eight, I don't care if you have a plan or not! "Speed up, lean in, and as soon as the flagship fires, fire with all your might, and keep the goose-shaped formation! Hear it all to me, not a single Japanese ship is allowed to escape! ”
"Yes, President!" Xuan Da Niu catered and hurriedly went down to issue President Meng's order.
Princess Katrina Kaeff saw the huge army on her side approaching the enemy, and knew that the battle was about to start, so she quietly held the hand of President Moe, very nervous.
This is a form of bullying that prevents enemy warships from escaping when force is sufficient.
If the strength of the two armies is equal, most of them will adopt a vertical formation.
Saigo Congdao was on the ironclad ship "Longxiang", the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet, and nervously watched this huge fleet approaching, "Ready, this must be the fleet of the Chinese army, otherwise it will not use the battle formation!" ”
The officers immediately went down to convey Saigo's words, and the Japanese artillery had already begun to adjust.
"Yunyang" is a wooden-hulled steam engine ship, which was purchased from Britain by the Choshu Domain in 1870 and dedicated to the Meiji central government the following year, with a speed of 10 knots, a displacement of only 249 tons, a 160mm main gun at the bow of the ship, and a 140mm gun at the stern.
The "Ryusho" was the ace warship of the Combined Fleet and one of only two ironclad ships in Japan.
Another ironclad ship, the "Jiatie", was a product of the American Civil War, which was obsolete and backward, and its combat effectiveness could not be compared with that of the "Longxiang".
President Moe's flagship, with a downwind speed of 18 knots and a three-section telescopic chimney, can dodge enemy shell attacks during naval battles, which is a technological innovation.
In this era, it was already the world's leading medium-sized cruiser, and the British repeatedly asked President Meng to return it, but President Meng ignored it until Britain joined the South Sea Treaty member organization, and President Meng used the price of compensation of 10 million taels of Chinese official silver to settle the British demand for the return of the captured warship and the return of Hong Kong.
President Meng's flagship is two 220mm main guns, and more than 40 secondary guns are 75mm, and the firepower is very strong.
And the flagship of the Japanese is only a 105mm main gun, or a single main gun, and the secondary gun is only 55mm, more than a dozen.
"Fire!" Seeing that he had entered the range, President Meng ordered loudly.
Princess Katrina Kaaf is full of blood, this is the first time Princess Katrina Kave has seen a naval battle, and it is also the real sense of President Moe, the first time she has seen a sea battle, the last time she fought with the Japanese pirate group in the Korean waters, it can't be counted at all, because they are all wooden ships, no matter how many they are, this time, it is a real modern warship against a modern warship.
There was a loud bang.
The flagship of the Chinese army, with its two front main guns fired at the same time, fired very accurately, and the main battery of the ironclad ship "Ryuchamp," the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet, was blown up with one shot, and more than 10 Japanese gunners died on the battery in the billowing smoke.
President Meng sweats, what level is this?
The intensity and quality of the Chinese army's naval training are also very high, and the officers who fired the guns just now were all officers of the German navy.
President Meng's Chinese army, most of the navy are Huacui Party members, but the main positions, including the main gunner, are still foreign instructors, President Meng did not engage in the development of the development of the seedlings in the army construction, his every step follows the principles of the German army, very rigorous, without that ability, you can't take up the post!
Except for Xuan Daniu, deputy commander of the Navy, every officer of the Chinese Army and the Huacui Party who has taken up his post must have that ability.
"Big bull, learn more, be modest, be serious, if you can't do it, this deputy commander of the navy is someone else's." President Meng said lightly.
Xuan Da Niu hurriedly gave a military salute, "Yes, President!" ”
Xuan Da Niu is only the first deputy commander of the navy, there are a total of four deputy commanders, as well as the trainee captains of various warships, all of whom are officers of the Huacui Party, and the competition is very fierce, this is not because of President Meng's cronies, you can stand in the position, in fact, every Huacui Party officer is very loyal to President Meng.
Saigo saw that the main battery had been blown up and shouted, "Fire!" Hurry up! (To be continued.) )
