Luo Yang could see very clearly, the darker the night was closing, the more dense the lights on the American fleet, shining on the deck, swaying on the sea around the fleet, there was an illusory feeling,

In this clear background, under the rich black and white landscape painting, the complicated battle scenes seem chaotic and entangled.

On the banks of the river, hundreds of officers and men of mixed brigades were on standby, each armed with a weapon, ready to fight at any time and place, although they knew that they could not intervene at all, and any battle on the Bowen fleet thousands of meters offshore, no matter how bloody, was a prospect.

It started with the attack, and the American soldiers were scrambling, and many people howled loudly, "Something." "Oh my God."

God wouldn't be so brave, would he?

The night was already thick, and only the lights could be used, and the vague enemy troops could be seen resisting,

The shouts, the gunshots, and the waves of the evening breeze were chaotic and desolate, and from time to time there were one or two particularly poignant cries of despair, some of which had exceeded the limits of human beings,

"Mr. Consul." An old, eager, and firm voice suddenly came from behind, and Luo Yang saw that a group of people who were black and whirring had arrived: "Mark Zuo Zongtang." ”

"Oh, good." Luo Yang anxiously spied on the scene of the fierce battle, and didn't have the heart to answer Zuo Zongtang's words,

More officers and soldiers, looking at the Bowen fleet outside the river bank, their hearts were surging, although it was a surprise attack, no one was sure that they could win, in order to seize the fighters, Huaxia Tian ** went out,

There were more and more Chinese officers and soldiers hidden on the riverbank, at first there was only Hun Cheng Brigade, and then Zuo Zongtang's soldiers, and then, in the fierce battle, many people were also shocked.

The dim horse lights, the flames emitted from the muzzles, swayed on the battleship Lexington, revealing the bodies of the dark soldiers, who were chasing, shooting, some of whom were shot, fell to the deck, or were slashed by the enemy with sabers and kicked off the deck,

In the upper room of the battleship, there was a wild shout of a beautiful **, several miles of Guru, I couldn't hear the content clearly, but, panic, madness, despair, made the voice full of strange atmosphere,

Boom, a ball of flames, exploded, and then, another flame, the flames reflected the surroundings, highlighting more than a dozen combatants, including Chinese special operations soldiers and American troops,

The officers and soldiers on the shore let out a burst of exclamations, and involuntarily broke through military discipline, so Luo Yang ordered the people to stop talking immediately,

Every officer and soldier casually folded a piece of firewood and grass on the ground, and bit it in his mouth.

The Chinese soldiers gradually showed the power of their weapons and equipment, and there were constantly grenade explosions, scattering the enemy crowd.

The battle continued, and after thirty minutes of fierce fighting, the gunfire basically disappeared, but there was no signal of victory sent back by the soldiers of the Chinese army.

Two warships let out a long roar and began to sail towards Haikou downstream, which shows that the battle on these two warships, the Huaxia army lost,

"Is Battalion Commander Zhang of the Guards Battalion here?" Luo Yang couldn't hold his breath anymore

"Archon." Battalion Commander Zhang was shocked, he was watching the battle, and he had already been deeply involved in it.

"Immediately lead all of your men to swim across the river in arms, or find a small boat to grab the enemy's fleet and reinforce the special operations force."

"This, yes." In the dark night, armed swimming, the brief is fatal, but the commander of the guard battalion did not say any price, and the reinforcements sent at this time have already explained the seriousness of the problem.

Luo Yang urgently mobilized the mixed brigade, dispatched artillery fire, and if necessary, bombarded the enemy fleet: "Wait for the order, bombard immediately." ”

Zuo Zongtang immediately said: "Your Excellency, I have brought a few cannons, which can be used." ”

"Alright, thank you, get ready." Luo Yang gritted his teeth and said,

"Yes." Zuo Zongtang immediately ordered the artillery to prepare, which was a foreign cannon used by his Fujian troops, which could bombard the fleet, but they were all six-pound and twelve-pound small shells, and their power was limited.

Now it doesn't matter whether it is powerful or not, if the special operations forces fail, then everything possible must be done,

The people who watched the battle were far more nervous than those who actually participated in the battle,

Fortunately, on the battleship Lexington, a fire suddenly rose, and then, the fire became bigger and bigger, the place was on the deck, and it could be seen in the firelight, several soldiers of the Chinese Army were shaking a military flag repeatedly,

"Ah, we've won." Luo Yang himself couldn't help but exhale,

At this time, all the officers and soldiers spit out the firewood and grass, and shouted wildly, and thousands of troops formed a huge wave sound on the river bank.

Forty minutes later, on almost all the warships, fires were raised, flags were waving, and the chiefs on the banks of the river reported the outcome of the battle.

"Only two ran away." Zuo Zongtang said excitedly: "King Rui, the special combat team has done a good job, so many American devils, such a large fleet, it is really not easy for us to take it." ”

Soon, many small sampans were hoisted down on the battleship, and the small boats that brought back the American officers and soldiers also became the only means for the Huaxia Army to reinforce the warships, and more than 400 people from Luoyang's guard battalion were the first to board the new battleship after the capture, including Luoyang himself, at half past seven o'clock in the night, the battle ended, except for the two enemy battleships that were moving at high speed towards the open sea and retreating, the rest of the fleet ships were captured, on the Lexington, Luoyang inspected the battleship, only to see that the deck and the cabin were full of American corpses, There are also many corpses of Chinese soldiers, many of the corpses are still entangled, scuffling, some biting their ears, and some pinching into the flesh, which shows the intensity of the war.

Zuo Zongtang also boarded the battleship, and he warned Luo Yang, "Archon, we must be careful, there are still two warships in Citigroup that have escaped, be careful that they kill one of them." ”

Luo Yang was on the battleship, first inspected, checked the casualties on both sides, reviewed the soldiers, checked the American prisoners of war, in the Nexington, because of the stubborn resistance of the American army, the vast majority of the American troops were killed, and only more than 30 American troops survived,

The Huaxia Army does not know how to drive a battleship, so it can't drive, let alone drive a ship to chase a fleeing battleship, so the remaining task is to clean up the battlefield, control the battleship, and strictly interrogate and identify the captured U.S. military technical officers, and warmly receive them, hoping to use these people to learn to drive the battleship and build combat effectiveness.

"What are you doing here?" An officer approached the captives and shouted, "I want to see your chief, your officer." ”

"Who are you?" Many Huaxia Tian** soldiers surrounded him vigilantly,

"I'm Bowen, the master of this fleet, the commander of the fleet." He waved his hands and said hoarsely,

"You're not lying, are you?" The Chinese officers and soldiers looked at his uniform, and in the dim light, his medals and ribbons shone brightly,

"You barbarians, shameless, shameless, using sneak tactics instead of dignified combat, you are not the navy, you are the snitch." He howled in despair,

"Poor Major General, he's crazy." In the group of prisoners of war, several American soldiers quietly discussed,
