In the waters near the southern exit of the Blanche Waterway, the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy and a decoy fleet of Matt won the final victory after nearly an hour and a half of fierce naval battles.

Because the British fleet in the face of the Chinese Imperial Navy's powerful and fierce attack, its commander Matt and the acting commander of the successive accidents, unable to command the fleet to fight, so that the British fleet was leaderless, ready to flee but ran into their own water radium, unable to escape, in the face of a desperate situation, only a few British ships chose to fight to the death with the Chinese Imperial Navy, most of the British ships gave up resistance and chose to surrender.

In the end, Matt's decoy fleet sank and self-sank 7 ironclad ships, 13 cruisers, 17 frigates, 11 Fish and Radium boats, and 13 Cloth Radium boats, captured 3 ironclad ships, 7 cruisers, 4 frigates, and 3 Fish and Radium boats, and captured 2,133 British officers and men.

After Matt was sent ashore by his subordinates, he soon woke up, but when he saw that the British navy had surrendered, he vomited blood and fainted.

Chen Shaoyi immediately sent marines to land on the island to capture Matt, and after a fierce battle, the British soldiers around Matt could not defeat the Chinese Imperial Shence Army, and finally surrendered and handed Matt over.

Matt wakes up after being rescued on a hospital ship of the Imperial Chinese Navy, and Chen Shaoyi wants to interrogate him to find out the whole truth.

It's just that Matt kept silent, but Chen Shaoyi still interrogated some information from other captured British officers, and after analysis, he had guessed most of Matt's intentions.

"You're deliberately using yourself as bait to block us with the topography of the Blanche Waterway, right?"

Matt snorted coldly and said nothing.

Chen Shaoyi smiled and continued: "But your plan failed, since I know your plan. Naturally, we won't let you succeed, and we'll turn around and leave immediately. ”

Matt looked up at the pendulum clock on the wall, it had been two and a half hours, and he suddenly laughed and said: "It's too late for you to leave, our main fleet of the British Empire has already entered the Blanche waterway, you either go and hit the water radium yourself now to die." Either fight us, but we have hundreds of warships, and I know that your warships are very advanced, but they can't play with Ben in the Blanche waterway, so they are waiting to be wiped out by our British Imperial Navy! ”

Chen Shaoyi sneered: "You lie and deceive the ghost, your main fleet is in the Solomon Sea, if you go back to block the north exit of the Blanche waterway, and then enter the waterway to reach the south exit where we are, it will take at least eight hours." These eight hours have enough time to dismantle the water radium defense area you have arranged. ”

Matt smiled coldly and arrogantly: "That's right, if I really give you eight hours, maybe you can really break through the water radium area that I have carefully arranged." It's a pity that you can't have eight hours, because our main fleet of the British Empire Navy doesn't need to take a detour through the north exit of the Blanche Waterway, we can enter the Blanche Waterway and get here in two hours, and now it's been two hours, and soon you will find out about the arrival of our British Navy. ”

Chen Shaoyi was surprised: "How is this possible? Your main fleet is obviously in the Solomon Sea, did you put on wings and fly into the Blanche waterway? ”

Matt snorted coldly. He stopped talking.

Chen Shaoyi's heart was shocked, and he suddenly probed: "Could it be that there is a secret waterway on Lunwa Island that can enter the Blanche Waterway?" ”

Matt glanced at Chen Shaoyi in surprise. Suddenly nodded and said: "You are very smart, but even if you know, it is too late, you can't change the ending, and now it's too late for you to surrender." ”

With Matt's affirmation, Chen Shaoyi knew that he had guessed correctly. There was indeed a secret waterway that he didn't know about connected to the Blanche Waterway, and now the main force of the British Navy fleet should have entered the Blanche Waterway through that secret waterway.

Chen Shaoyi hated himself for believing in the map so easily, but now that things have happened, it is too late to regret it.

However, it can be remedied.

Chen Shaoyi suddenly laughed and said, "Matt." You are an old fox, but you are still fooled, thank you for telling me about the secret waterways. In return, I can tell you that the pendulum clock on the wall is not accurate, it is two hours faster, and I deliberately adjusted it for you. ”

That's right, Chen Shaoyi had already guessed that Matt would not explain easily, and he had already guessed that Matt was playing time difference tactics, so he simply adjusted the clock time forward by two hours to lure Matt into being fooled.

Sure enough, Matt was really fooled, and people would lose their vigilance at the moment of great sorrow and joy, and Matt accidentally told Chen Shaoyi the real answer, the existence of a secret waterway.

"W-what? Hurry – two hours faster! ”

Matt woke up suddenly, he had been unconscious, and he was here when he woke up, he didn't have a clear concept of time, if it wasn't for the time when he saw the clock on the wall just now, he wouldn't have thought he had won at all.

"Damn it, you cunning fellow, you go die! I'll kill you! ”

Matt went berserk, he hated himself for getting carried away, and even more ruthlessly Chen Shaoyi, the cunning little fox, calculated him.

However, Matt soon found that his hands were handcuffed to the head of the bed, and he could not threaten Chen Shaoyi at all.

"Lock him up, don't treat him anymore!"

Chen Shaoyi snorted coldly, although valuable information was extracted from Matt's mouth, but Chen Shaoyi knew that the crisis had not been resolved, and the main force of the British Navy should have entered the Blanche Waterway at this time, fortunately, Chen Shaoyi was very cautious, and left the Fourth Squadron in the rear to guard from the beginning, and was responsible for cutting off the rear at the critical moment.

"Now I'm afraid that the Fourth Squadron has already fought with the main fleet of the British Navy, and with Admiral Young's temperament, he should know what he should do."

Thinking of this, Chen Shaoyi hurriedly ordered: "Come on, order Chen Zilong's radium brigade to immediately open a safe channel as fast as possible, I will only give him two hours, no matter what method he uses, no matter how much price he pays, he must do it, otherwise Lao Tzu will shoot him!" ”

"Also, order all ships to quickly replenish their ammunition and prepare for a decisive battle with the main fleet of the British Navy!"

Chen Shaoyi gave orders one after another, and even prepared for the worst when encountering the main fleet of the British Navy.

The officers and men of the whole fleet were suddenly boiling, and they seized the time to take ammunition from the supply ships to replenish them, overhaul and strengthen the warships, and prepare for the decisive battle.

Meanwhile. Chen Zilong was forced to do so, he heard Chen Shaoyi order him to open up a safe route in the British Army's Shuilei area within two hours, otherwise he would be shot. This made him very unhappy, because Chen Shaoyi was his own uncle! The most important thing is, how many radium rays can be removed in two hours? Chen Zilong didn't believe that the old immortal Matt only arranged a few water radiums, looking at that large body of water. Chen Zilong wanted to cry without tears.

Don't be so ruthless!

Chen Zilong was sad, but after all, he was still an officer of the Chinese Imperial Navy, he knew that he could force his own uncle to give such a cruel and ruthless order, and he heard that there was going to be a decisive battle with the main fleet of the British Imperial Navy, and it was a critical moment of life and death.

"Damn, Lao Tzu fights, all cheer up, if you can't open a safe channel within two hours, before Lao Tzu is shot. Shoot you **** first! ”

The big fish eat the small fish, and the officers and men of the Cloth Ray Brigade are quite speechless.

Hey, the official level crushes people to death!

"Get to work! Work! Hurry up, time is our life! ”

The Radium Brigade not only knows how to distribute radium, but also has to be able to row radium, and they are afraid of being shot, so they are very hard to search the British Army's radium area, and strive to find the radium and eliminate it as quickly as possible.

Chen Zilong chose several shortest waterways. As a result, the water radium soldiers explored and found that each channel was covered with dense water radium, some deep and some shallow. There is also water radium buried in the seabed, and after the nearby water radium explodes, the water radium on the bottom of the sea will float up when it is shaken, replenishing its original position, which invisibly increases the difficulty of discharging radium.

The British grandsons are also ruthless, and they can't finish these two hours!

Chen Zilong looked at the sailors who were busy working. They are installing slag on the scum and drawing a lead pipe out of the slag to expose the sea, and then detonate the water radium from a distance.

Half an hour passed, and only a hundred meters of safe passage was found.

But Chen Shaoyi came to check no less than three times, almost once every ten minutes. When he came over, he scolded Chen Zilong.

"I'm twenty years old, can you save me some face?" Chen Zilong protested, and his uncle was unreasonable.

"How can you drop, don't accept it! If you want to be faced, make a safe passage for Lao Tzu as soon as possible! I don't care what method you use or what the price you pay, if you can't do it in two hours, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for killing you with his own hands! Chen Shaoyi can't help it, everyone is looking at him at this time, and only taking his nephew under the knife can it be a deterrent.

Many times, it is not necessarily a good thing to meet relatives in high positions.

Chen Zilong said angrily: "Okay, you said it, no matter what price I use, don't feel distressed and come to trouble me afterwards!" ”

After that, Chen Zilong started his own actions, that's right, the actions taken exactly according to his ideas, Chen Shaoyi even gave an order to the whole fleet to fully cooperate with Chen Zilong.

Well, Chen Zilong suddenly felt as if he was already the commander-in-chief of the entire Pacific Fleet.

"Drive those British warships over and let them wade directly into the water radium!"

Hearing Chen Zilong's order, Chen Shaoyi almost jumped up and said angrily: "Little rabbit cub, that's Lao Tzu's trophy, don't give Lao Tzu a scourge!" ”

Chen Zilong was also angry, and said angrily: "You said it yourself, no matter what method I use, what price?" If you regret it, you can drain it yourself! ”

Chen Shaoyi was speechless for a moment, he naturally couldn't regret it, so he could only glare at his nephew fiercely.

Chen Zilong was happy in his heart, and he finally let out his anger.

There were seventeen captured British ships, and in addition to the three Fish and Radium boats, the other 3 ironclads, 7 cruisers and 4 frigates could be used to dispel radium.

Soon, sailors of the Imperial Chinese Navy drove the speedboat, using steel ropes to support the British ironclad ship to start the radium, and at the same time, the battleship itself was also forced to ventilate, so that the battleship was moving in a straight line and at high speed.

Boom! Boom!

The ironclad ship kept touching the radium explosion, the bow of the ship was about to be blown up, and a large amount of sea water poured in, and it was about to sink completely, Chen Zilong gave an order and asked the speedboat to drag the battleship aside and sink it so that it would not obstruct the channel.

In this way, three British ironclads were the first to make a trip to radium, followed by seven cruisers and four frigates. Since the draft of cruisers and frigates is slightly shallower than that of ironclad ships, and they cannot wade into radium buried at a depth of eight or nine meters, Chen Zilong asked people to fill cruisers and frigates with water to reach a draft depth, and then start to wade radium.

On the one hand, the British warships were used to make a trip to radium, and on the other hand, Chen Zilong also asked the Cloth Radium Brigade to manually discharge radium, and finally opened a safe channel after an hour, which was half an hour earlier than the last time stipulated by Chen Shaoyi.

Chen Shaoyi's mood suddenly relaxed, at least he didn't have to be blocked in the waterway for a decisive battle, he was about to comfort the biggest hero Chen Zilong, at this moment, the communication ship from the Fourth Fleet rushed back and reported the secret waterway of Lunwa Island and General Yang De's determination to fight to the death with the enemy fleet and cover the retreat of the main fleet.

Chen Shaoyi suddenly felt that his head was three times bigger, originally he just hoped that Yang De would lead the Fourth Fleet to delay for a while, as long as the water radium interception area arranged by Matt was cleared, the main force of the Chinese Imperial Navy could enter the Solomon Sea, and there was no need to worry about being surrounded by the main force of the British Navy.

However, General Yang De, who was far away in Lenwa Bay, did not know Chen Shaoyi's thoughts, nor did he know that Chen Shaoyi was able to solve the battle in an hour and a half, and broke through the Radium blockade area in another hour and a half, so Yang De was in the worst plan to block the British Navy.

Now that Chen Shaoyi's side has solved the crisis, but General Yang De's side does not know that General Yang De will not retreat easily if he does not get the news of Chen Shaoyi's safety, but now to inform General Yang De to retreat with the Fourth Fleet, it is estimated that it is too late in time, because the main force of the British Navy must have bitten the Fourth Fleet a long time ago, and it will definitely not be able to withdraw.

"It's damn time again, it's all wasted on the road, if only the radio communication system had been installed earlier!" Chen Shaoyi said indignantly, if there is a radio system, there is no need to be so passive.

At this time, the Chinese Empire had successfully developed a radio system, but before it could be equipped with the naval fleet, the Sino-British War broke out.

"Quickly inform Admiral Young that the crisis has been resolved on my side, but that I will not return to join him, but will bypass Lenwa Island and attack behind the main fleet of the British Navy. If he can hold out until that moment, we will flank the main fleet of the British Navy in the secret waterways of Lunwa Island. If he can't hold on, then take the initiative to retreat, I don't blame him, it's just that we lost a great opportunity to inflict heavy damage or even total annihilation of the main force of the British Navy. ”

Well, Chen Shaoyi is worthy of being the commander of the fleet, and he is very vicious in thinking and looking at problems. At this time, he was already planning to use the "Matt tactic" against the main fleet of the British Navy in turn. (To be continued.) )
