The British fleet chased to the death, and in this process, it was a very familiar and very fond moment for the British, because, at this time, the enemy fled and lost the ability to counterattack, and it was the time when the British army could achieve results without much effort, and the British army would hardly have any losses.

On any modern warship, there are tail guns, but unfortunately, the power of the tail guns is small, and the breech main guns cannot be compared.

The British were sure that if they chased to the death, they could completely annihilate the Chinese warships,

After the Chinese fleet fled more than 1,000 meters to the west, not only did it not get rid of the tracking and striking of the British fleet, on the contrary, the distance was closer, and in the helpless situation, Zuo Zongtang had no choice but to take the risk, he ordered his battleship to return and take the initiative to rush to the east to attract the enemy's firepower and let the other battleships retreat first.

The British fleet rushed up in black pressure and bombarded the battleship indiscriminately, hoping to sink it completely.

However, at this time, the remnants of the two battleships, two heavy cruisers, and six light cruisers, also returned to the battle, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood,

Zuo Zongtang's face also had a cold smile,

The British did not have a chance to look at the smile of the ** team, but victory was in sight, charging and bombarding vigorously, within a certain distance, they rarely moved, and they bombarded the Chinese fleet with vigor,

The poor Chinese fleet has collapsed,

"Forward, attack, attack." Admiral Halder, smiling cheerfully, shaking a naval flag with his hand, he was going crazy with excitement, and now, the naval fleet has finally defeated the enemy,

After the Chinese fleet returned to the battle, it was only ten minutes before it immediately returned to flee again, fleeing vigorously to the west, presumably abandoning many things on board in order to speed up.

The British fleet pursued wildly,

The two fleets traveled more than 2,000 meters to the west, and then 2,000 meters to the west, and have entered the mouth of the Yangtze River in China, which is the southern sea channel of Chongming Island, and in the battle, two more Chinese light cruisers were sunk, and in the end, the Chinese East China Sea Fleet that was able to escape was only three battleships, two heavy cruisers, four light cruisers, and the two remaining small gunboats also disappeared, and it is estimated that they were sunk.

Finally, the remnants of the Chinese warships that were fleeing in embarrassment suddenly turned back together and fought again.

Is there anything new in this, the British officers and soldiers contempt together, and Admiral Halder, who simply closed his eyes, returned to the command and went to the secretary's lady for tea,

"Are you alright?" The commander of the general looked at the plump and white breasts of the secretary lady, and showed a look of affection,

Miss Secretary was a little confused: "General, isn't there a battle outside?" ”

"yes, fight, but shall we have a drink?" The admiral went up unabashedly, picked her up, and then, kissing her, grabbed and touched her with both hands behind her thin clothes,

"Admiral, Admiral, I."

The secretary's voice made the admiral, who was about to win the battle, even more excited, and he hugged her and walked step by step to a secret small room in the headquarters,

Boom Boom Boom,

Suddenly, the sound of the sky cracking and cracking, like a thunderbolt falling from the sky, broke out on the heads of the British army.

"Ahh The British officers and soldiers were busy, but unexpectedly, there was a continuous roar in the distance, and then a violent explosion around them.

Yes, the explosion of a group of shells on a violent, comparable to the eight-inch cannon on the strongest battleship of the British army was overwhelming,

Zuo Zongtang heard such a cannon sound, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief,

"Now, British Maozi finally knows how powerful I am Zuo Zongtang." He gasped, his teeth rattled, and even the muscles in his face tensed.

The officers and men of the Chinese Navy, who were almost in a desperate situation, let out bursts of cheers, and at the same time, the British officers and men fell into a great confusion, that is, Admiral Halder, who was about to pick up his gun and mount his horse, was shocked and fell down from the bed.

The British army didn't know that in this area, the squadron had established several artillery bases, which were the kind of batteries, but all of them were concealed semi-underground fortresses, and the cannons used were all super invincible cannons.

No, it's a mortar,

In the face of a possible attack by the British Grand Fleet, China's Supreme Ministry of Defense has devised several plans, among which the most ruthless is this, sacrificing the fleet, luring the enemy deep, concocting the enemy, and annihilating with mines.

If the enemy uses a general small fleet, then the current East China Sea Fleet, does not bird it at all, think about it, what is the concept of six battlefleets, four heavy cruisers, sixteen light cruisers, even in the world, it is also a large fleet, the Chinese fleet is not without a chance to win a naval battle,

Zuo Zongtang did not expect that the scale of the enemy's fleet was too large, and the hidden fast fleet was so fierce that the Chinese fleet could not be compared, because China's shipbuilding technology was still transplanted and explored, and it was impossible to build such a strong new warship.

This overall strategic plan, which Zuo Zongtang jokingly called the three guns of the horse, the Chinese fleet, when encountering a strong enemy that cannot be defeated, can counterattack twice, attract the enemy, and finally counterattack.

Chinese artillery, the first in the world,

Luo Yang is an artilleryman, naturally knows all kinds of artillery since modern times, and is also very concerned about the defense of Jianghaikou, the Yangtze River estuary is a zone that China must defend, otherwise, to the enemy army to break in, China's military and civilians, how much trauma will be suffered economically,

Mortar guns with a range of five thousand meters, 280 caliber, that is, the kind of coastal artillery used by the Japanese in the Russo-Japanese War, however, the squadron built a larger cannon, 300 mm caliber, and one shell weighs half a ton,

On the south bank, where there seemed to be no sign of the British army at all, there were three Chinese coastal batteries, with army guards on them, hidden, and artillery from the naval base holding on below, each battery, there were five super cannons, a total of fifteen, on the north bank, not far from the south beach of Chongming Island, there were three batteries, the same number, these batteries, two by two, stuck the bay and inland river line at the mouth of the Yangtze River, when the British entered, these batteries were ordered to be patient, only when the British fleet all entered the ambush circle, Just start fighting,

The battle was triggered by the fourth group of batteries, in the far west, which was the open high hill battery, and as soon as the British army pursued the Chinese fleet, the battery as the bottom line immediately bombarded the British fleet.

Super-large caliber shells have long been aimed at the British fleet, anyway, the Chinese fleet was defeated and could not form an army, and the British army relaxed all vigilance and swarmed in,

The British army is a well-trained unit, of course, it knows how to reconnoiter the situation along the coast, but the Chinese fleet is indeed not pretending to fail, and there is indeed no artillery installation along the coast.

No one would have thought that in order to catch the big fish of the British Navy's super fleet, Zuo Zongtang would let himself out.

The fourth group of batteries, each with eight heavy guns, such a number of heavy guns, is the coastal artillery of all countries in the world, and it is also extremely rare,

Luo Yang wanted to protect the mouth of the Yangtze River, and second, he wanted to shock the enemy, so he used such a huge cannon here.
