Chapter 479: Annihilating the Japanese Army

This is an obvious victory in which strength determines the result, and it is also an irreversible battle, the twelve Chinese warships, both in tonnage and firepower, are much stronger than the Japanese fleet, and, in terms of morale, they are not inferior to Japan at all, the Japanese side is the spiritual narcotic of bushido, the Chinese side is the national rejuvenation, the great power bearing, the officers and soldiers are very brave in battle, in the artillery fire, each other casualties, but no one is afraid,

If a merchant ship has a fort, it is a Japanese-style warship, and if you buy someone's second-hand old ship, you dare to be arrogant, and this is the psychological basis of a closed nation that has just opened its eyes to the world.

The sound of artillery rumbled, and the explosion set off huge columns of water, and when it hit the target, the rupture caused by the huge penetrating force of the armor-piercing projectile, the fragments caused by the flowering projectile, and the thick smoke had completely shocked this peaceful beach that had been sleeping for thousands of years.

The seabirds, who were chasing the fleet just now, fled in terror, jumped out of the water and plunged deep into the sea, never daring to show their heads again.

"Shoot, shoot, shoot." Zuo Zongtang shouted loudly, waving the small flag in his hand, his pale white hair dancing against the sea breeze under the edge of his majestic military hat,

The Chinese Navy is all in modern attire, snow-white clothes, two long streamers, flat hats, sunny and handsome,

The sternness of the handsome old man Zuo Zongtang is not sunny, but cold and hideous, and every officer and soldier is also skillfully maneuvering the battleship, attacking forward, shooting frequently, and hitting the enemy's battleship one by one.

The bombardment of the triple shells of the breech main guns of the first battleship, with a six-inch caliber, directly hit a Japanese battleship, and the Japanese ship, known as the battleship, was instantly pierced through the deck, a huge cave, deep into the cabin, and suddenly, a wave of sea bounced out of it,

The Japanese battleship, which was shot, suddenly lost power and swayed on the sea.

The Japanese army was not discouraged, there was no gossip, and they desperately bombarded the Chinese fleet.

After twenty minutes of fighting, three Japanese battleships were sunk, and the remaining three battleships were even more stubborn, and the Japanese soldiers on the deck even shot at the deck of the Chinese battleship to vent the anger in their hearts,

These three Japanese ships suffered a lot of shells, but they did not sink, and the artillery of the Japanese officers and soldiers also kept bombarding, causing casualties on the Chinese fleet.

Zuo Zongtang was annoyed: "Launch a torpedo." ”

The Chinese Navy was armed with torpedoes, and not only on gunboats, but also on ordinary warships, also built firing devices, which the Japanese did not have,

The long-awaited torpedo crew immediately fired, and after a minute, a huge explosion caused a column of water to soar into the sky, and two minutes later, the fire burned, and after three minutes, each battleship suffered an average of three torpedoes, and all of them exploded and disintegrated.

The burning wooden ships fell into the sea and drifted with the current, and the whole warship became countless small floating objects, and those naval officers and sailors became even more pitiful little bits, either torn up and became bait for sea fish, or swimming talents in the sea.

The battle is over, so Zuo Zongtang ordered the officers and soldiers to use small boats to rescue the Japanese soldiers in the sea, after all, it is not a prisoner of war, not a humanitarian,

It's a pity that everyone misunderstood the Japanese soldiers, they were in the sea, and they were able to shoot at the squadron with a rifle,

In the blink of an eye, there were four Chinese ** ambulance team members killed the Japanese soldiers, the gunfire exploded, and the killed Chinese ** officers and soldiers were planted in the sea with a wail.

Zuo Zongtang was enraged,

"Kill, kill them all."

For the stubbornness of the Japanese army and the madness of bushido, Zuo Zongtang finally believed the words of the consul, he no longer had any illusions about the enemy, and after the ruthlessness in his nature was stimulated, he actually operated a rifle himself and aimed at the swimming soldiers of the Japanese army.

The action of the main general is the best example, the first action in the **, the vast majority of the enemy army was killed, only a few were willing to surrender, or half-dead, without the physical strength to resist, were rescued,

All the warships of the Japanese invasion of Taiwan were sunk, which made the Chinese naval fleet feel quite interested.

This battle, which lasted half an hour, the Chinese fleet was hit by more than 30 shells, and three cruisers were injured, slight, because the caliber of the Japanese naval guns was too small, because the explosion caused 24 casualties, of which 11 were killed.

Gathered all the Japanese prisoners of war, rescued the Chinese warship, and then, interrogated, learned that the Japanese fleet had more than 1,400 people, and now, less than 170 people could be prisoners of war, and the rest fell into the sea and fed Wang Ba,

The squadron took a break, cooked in the kitchen, and the officers and men summed up the lessons and lessons, especially the problem that the shooting accuracy was still not high, and then, Zuo Zongtang convened a meeting of officers, planning to send more than 500 officers and soldiers to land and fight, counterattack the Japanese army on the shore, and the prisoners of war said that there were 3,000 Japanese troops who landed.

Before he could act, he heard a report that he had spotted a fleet of ships coming in the distance.

The Chinese fleet immediately observed that a fleet of ships was coming in the northeast direction of the place, and the flags on the ships were not yet clear.

Zuo Zongtang thought that it was the enemy's reinforcement fleet, so he didn't dare to be sloppy and immediately called on the whole army to attack.

The Chinese fleet still adopted the strategy of encirclement, one led by the vice-admiral, retreated slightly to the west, and the other he personally went out and made a detour to attack the enemy through the north.

Within the visual distance, the ** miraculously found that it was a fleet flying the American flag, no, not a fleet, but a fleet, a merchant fleet, the draft is very deep, it is estimated that a large number of supplies are loaded,

After encircling from the flanks, the Chinese fleet flanked the flanks, surrounded the flotilla, and asked the flotilla in a loud voice, "Is it the Americans, what are you doing here?" ”

But no one answered,

Could it be that the wrecked fleet has no crew,

The squadron immediately dispatched personnel to board the ship in small boats.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he boarded the fleet, a dense number of bullets were fired on the ship, killing dozens of ** soldiers, and then, the figures of the soldiers of the Japanese Army appeared on all five boats.

It turned out to be the fleet of the Japanese countries, and they thought that the American fleet was coming to reinforce the Japanese countries or to reap the benefits.

There were many Japanese soldiers on the Japanese fleet, and everyone was shooting with guns, which posed a great threat to the officers and men of the Chinese fleet.

What else to say, without Zuo Zongtang's command, the cannons of the ** ship opened fire one after another, and the shells rained down on the heads of the Japanese army.

The Chinese officers and soldiers are also very smart and know that they do not need heavy artillery to deal with such a type of merchant ship, so they only use auxiliary artillery bombardment, and the shells are very effective, killing and wounding the enemy in batches.

Chinese soldiers also use rifles, within range, to attack the enemy,

The battle lasted for ten minutes, the situation has stabilized, the squadron used absolute superior strength to subdue the warships of the Japanese country, a large number of ships broke holes, so that the sea water gushed, many Japanese soldiers were pulled into the sea by the air waves, and many guys were killed and floated on the ocean.

Seeing that they could not win, many Japanese soldiers had no choice but to raise their hands and surrender.

Because the Japanese troops on one ship continued to resist sporadically, three Chinese warships bombarded together and sank the ship with their main guns, and the bodies of the Japanese soldiers killed and wounded by the explosion stained the sea red.
