Zheng Yiqian's words suddenly made the smiles on the faces of Liu Jun, Zhong Lin, Yang Shixiang, and even Li Hongzhang, who had been beside him and not speaking, suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zheng Yiqian's problem is important, even if all the materials in Liaodong are given to Gong Jiu Nengren without restrictions, but it still can't work.

Strength, the key is strength, Miyahisa Nengren is not a saint, and it is impossible for his soldiers to fight a battle without loss, more or less, this is all to be lost,

"Isn't that easy? We must not send troops over at all, as this will cause international disputes and even resentment from Britain and other European countries that are friendly with Tsarist Russia. Li Hongzhang, who had not spoken all this time, finally spoke.

What can I do about this, Liu Jun looked at everyone and took a deep breath.

It seems that there is no way to do it at present, and there is no need to worry, anyway, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in his palace and Nengren, and for a while, he doesn't have to worry about this problem. I'm still talking about the rest of the matter after I get rid of Sasebo's thorn first. Thinking of this, Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin who was standing aside: "How is the situation with Sasebo." ”

Zhong Lin's intelligence bureau has a sub-station in Sase, so Liu Jun wants to ask about the situation since the start of the war yesterday.

"Head, according to the situation this morning, the fleet has eliminated the No. 3 battery of the Japanese shore defense battery, and sank one Japanese torpedo cruiser and seriously damaged one. Two of our torpedo cruisers were sunk, and the armored cruiser Wakashizu was slightly damaged. ”

, the loss is so great. As soon as he heard that Ruojing was also injured, Liu Jun's face suddenly turned gloomy, judging from this information, yesterday's attack was not smooth.

"The Sasebo area, which can be used as a Japanese naval base for so many years, must have a certain reason for him, in addition, over the years, the Japanese army has been expanding the defenses above, Li He's attack, although the loss of two torpedo cruisers and the slight damage to the Ruojing, but in general, we have removed the threat of the No. 3 battery, which is also a gratifying thing." Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, saw Liu Jun's expression and stepped forward to comfort her.

That's the truth, as soon as he thinks of his warships, Liu Jun always feels that he can't get out of his heart.

Sasebo. On the bridge of the Mikasa, the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Ito, wearing a black admiral uniform, was looking at the open sea.

In the open sea, more than 30 Liaodong and German warships were sailing on the sea with their teeth and claws, and from time to time, a running shell would hit the No. 3 battery, which was already a pile of garbage, and exploded.

Looking at the No. 3 battery with thick smoke billowing in the distance, Ito Yuheng was very unsuitable in his heart, and deduced from several joint meetings of the shore defense and the navy that the No. 3 battery, with its own support, could block the attack of the Liaodong Navy for at least half a month, but now.

In one day, the No. 3 battery was completely destroyed by the Liaodong Navy, and up to now, there are more than 50 artillery pieces, and less than 12 are left. Moreover, the large-caliber artillery has all been completely destroyed by the Liaodong Navy, and the rest is only about 150 mm artillery. This kind of artillery may still be a threat to armored cruisers, but for battleships, it is worth itching him.

It's too ruthless, Ito Yuheng looked at the Yellow Dragon Flag fluttering in the distance, and his teeth itched.

Raising despicable, yesterday's battle, the Liaodong Army was almost attacking itself in a situation of death pressing, and he never thought that Liaodong Li He would actually let six battleships as meat shields, all of which were in the front, resisting the shore defense batteries and their own artillery fire, and let the subsequent armored cruisers arrive at the No. 3 battery and launch a carpet bombardment of the No. 3 battery.

Because such a situation was never expected, this caused the bombardment, the defenders of the shore defense battery evaded in time, and half of the troops were lost at once, although he ordered the fleet to support immediately, and finally sank two torpedo cruisers of the Liaodong Lushun fleet, and severely damaged one armored cruiser, as well as a sticky hook that lightly damaged one and sank one torpedo cruiser of the German fleet, and slightly injured one, but the No. 3 battery was still lost.

"Commander, the No. 3 battery has been destroyed, do you want to lay mines tonight." Ono on the side saw Ito Yuhiro looking at the No. 3 battery with billowing smoke in the distance, and stepped forward to ask.

Fort No. 3, which is the entrance to the sea in Kamisasebo, was originally planned to be mined. It's just that at that time, Ito Yuheng was worried that the ships in Liaodong were not blown up, but let his ships lie down mines, so they were not placed, and now, Ono found that the combined fleet had no chance to go out, so it was better to place mines in that direction. Let's stop the attack of the Liaodong Army.

Ito Yuheng looked at Ono standing beside him, and he also understood that now, his fleet was completely trapped here, and there was no hope of getting out, so he could only place mines where to block the attack of the Liaodong Navy.

"Go ahead." After a deep voice. Ito Yuheng helplessly glanced at the Liaodong warship in the distance, sighed, and turned back to the command tower.

"Put."

Boom Boom Boom ....... Hongzhang, the four main guns let out a roar again. The white smoke from the shells once again sprinted across the deck of the Hongzhang.

Ahem...... Li He, who had been standing on the bridge, choked on the pungent smoke and coughed a few times.

"Commander, do you want to go back to the conning tower?" Yan Fu on the side stepped forward and asked.

Shaking his head slightly, after Li He put down the binoculars in his hand, he raised his eyes to look at Yan Fu, who was looking at him with concern, and asked, "How about Ruojing?" ”

The armored cruiser Ruojing, in yesterday's battle, became the focus of the Japanese Combined Fleet and the coastal defense turrets because it was the most advanced.

During the first two-hour attack, Ruojing suffered at least 50 shells. The rear mast, as well as two chimneys, were knocked out directly, and the foredeck was destroyed. More than 200 officers and men were killed or wounded.

Hearing Li He mention Ruojing, Yan Fu showed a heavy look. In his opinion, Ruojing's immortality this time is crippled. After all, the damage taken was too great. Eleven rapid-fire guns, less than five remaining, four main guns, two tail guns, refers to the remaining two, that is, the remaining front main guns can still fire.

Hey, seeing Yan Fu's expression, Li He already knew the answer, took a deep breath, Li He turned around and raised the binoculars, and looked at the Ruojing moored in the distance and was trying to repair. He let out a sigh and walked back to his conning tower.
