"Let's get started. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Taking a deep breath, Li He raised the telescope in his hand.

Boom....... It has become the simplest signal, and every time the main gun of the Hongzhang fires, it is an order to attack.

However, this time, the main gun of the Hongzhang only fired from the main gun at the front, and the main gun located under the bridge stopped firing, after all, the airship stopped firing, after all, the airship stopped there, if you don't pay attention, the enemy will not hit it at that time, but it will not be good to blow up the airship.

Boom Boom Boom ..... The main guns of the fourteen warships, the side-chord guns, almost in a matter of seconds, began to attack the shore defense batteries of Shikoku Island.

Rumble....... More than ten meters away from the sea, the shells of the Japanese counterattack fell into the sea, blowing up a column of water more than ten meters high.

Bang bang bang........ In less than half an hour after the start of the war, a German armored cruiser withdrew from the battle, and a torpedo cruiser was sunk, and the Beiyang Naval Division was no better.

According to the current situation, he is sure that he will hold on to Shikoku Island for half a year, and in this coastal defense battery, he will be able to resist the Liaodong Army for at least a month.

"Fire, fire. Seeing that another Liaodong warship was concentrated, Fuji Tianyuan waved the command knife in his hand and shouted loudly.

Bang...... Although the Shikoku shore defense battery is strong, but most of it is always old artillery, a shell is fired, there is no time for two or three minutes, it is impossible to carry out the next bombardment, but at this time, at least three rounds of shells, smashed on the shore defense position, although most of these shells can not pose a threat to the battery, but there are still some of them, the battery is destroyed.

Grass and mud horses, Lao Tzu knew that the shore defense battery of Shikoku Island was strong and not easy to fight, and an hour later, Li He, who was standing on the bridge with a blue face, knocked on the handrail fiercely, and just now, two more torpedo cruisers were reimbursed. An armored cruiser was seriously damaged.

That's already twice as much damage as Sasebo wiped out the Combined Fleet.

It's a big joke to say, the navy was not sunk by the ships, but let the battery sink five torpedo cruisers at once, and just now, the German fleet came with the news that the armored cruiser Wilhelm, which had just withdrawn from the battle, suddenly exploded after retreating to the back, and had sunk into the sea fifteen minutes ago.

Shame on you. Seeing the gunsmoke billowing from the fort in the distance, Li He gritted his teeth, he really wanted to dispatch the airship, but now.

This damn wind. Seeing the yellow dragon flag still whirring on the mast, Li He scolded with grief and indignation in his heart.

"Commander, we can't fight any further, we already have a lot of ships that have been damaged to varying degrees, and the torpedo cruisers have lost almost five." Yan Fu on the side stepped forward, hoping that Li He could temporarily order a retreat, and then attack.

Damn, he slapped the handrail angrily, Li He turned around and looked at the still arrogant battery in the distance, and this time he gritted his teeth and gave an order: "Order, each ship retreats five nautical miles." ”

Woowoo....... On the sparkling sea, several torpedo cruisers patrolled the perimeter, while in the innermost, several armored cruisers surrounded the six battleships in the middle, quietly guarding.

On the mast of the Hongzhang, the lights of the sailors moving by from time to time illuminated the entire sea. A huge light, already able to see everything clearly throughout the fleet.

In the Hongzhang Commander Tower, Li He was sitting quietly on a chair, and next to him, the commander of the German fleet, Wilhelm, and the chief of staff, Yan Fu, were sitting quietly on the side.

After careful study, William and Yan Fu both raised a problem, that is, most of the forts on Shikoku Island were built on the mountainside, and they also made a certain defense, that is, the terrain around the fort was established, and many shells slipped down below before they exploded after falling to the ground, and they did not play any role at all.

"Commander, let's send out the airship. Only when they are dispatched will they be able to accurately find the location of the battery from the sky and then strike at it. Yan Fu, who lowered his head and thought about it a few times, said what he thought in his heart.

I don't want to use the airship, but this wind, this wind is a big problem.

"Let's see tomorrow, if the weather permits, we can let the airship go out and bomb Shikoku Island.

After thinking about it carefully, Li He decided that when he left the airship anyway, Liu Jun asked the Germans to see his power.

"Understood." Yan Fu nodded, stood up, and began to convey the order.

The sky gradually brightened, and as soon as Li He, who woke up, after finishing washing, he came to the bridge and began to observe the mast.

In good weather, seeing that the dragon flag on the mast was not fluttering, Li He smiled excitedly.

"The order was given, and the ships immediately set off and headed for Shikoku Island." After issuing the order with a big grin, Li He turned around and returned to the command cabin. Waiting for the fleet.

Woo.......woooo The huge whistle began to sound, and the fleet, which had been anchored all night on the entire sea, began to move slowly, and half an hour later, the regrouped fleet began to increase its horsepower and swoop again towards the sea area of Shikoku Island.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry." On the deck of the Hongzhang, the airship soldiers wearing blue clothes are under the leadership of the commander to do the final inspection of the airship.

WhewW...... WhewW...... The operator has already begun to check the final preparations for liftoff.

Li He took a look at the two airships below. This time, a total of five airships were dispatched from Liaodong, and the commander was Lieutenant Colonel Cai Yuanfang, who was directing the soldiers to inspect below.

Cai Yuanfang is a graduate of Lushun Military Academy, and Li He remembers that he was also present when he graduated that year, so he is very familiar with this young man.

This Cai Yuanfang, like Cai Bing, is Liu Jun's loyal fan and object of worship, it can be said that Liu Jun asked them to die, they would not move their heads, and they would definitely die.

"Report, everything is fine with the airship, request to take off." Cai Yuanfang was originally not under the jurisdiction of Li He, but now, Li He was the temporary commander of the enemy before attacking Shikoku Island, and he had the right to command this airship force.

"Let's go." After looking at the time, it was around nine o'clock, Li He nodded and said to Cai Yuanfang, who ran over.
