Fortunately, the Chinese people are ready to fight, even the most ordinary people know the danger, so only a few people have encountered drug dealers, some misfortune, and even if they encountered, these fishermen did not sacrifice in vain, but used militia weapons to resist, attack, so that the British army suffered a lot of casualties, so, after the British army began to be crazy, it quickly changed its tactics and did not dare to directly arrest the Chinese people at will.

This is the people's war launched by Luo Yang against the British,

After Luo Yang learned that the new troops of the British army had rushed to the East China Sea, he immediately passed on the news that the residents of the southeast coastal area should leave the coast and avoid the enemy.

In order to cover the main goal of the attack, the British army sent several troops to attack the coast of China, for example, more than 3,000 people landed in Fujian, six warships invaded the Minjiang River, for example, in the Zhoushan Islands in Zhejiang, and so on, the British army landed separately, that is, in Taiwan, and also sent thousands of people to land, attacking several border towns, saying that they were towns, but in fact they were several fishing villages.

Almost a full-scale war was launched along the southeast coast, and then, the main naval force of the British army sneaked into the mouth of the Yangtze River and directly attacked the Chinese **, and a fierce naval battle began.

The British fleet, including the original Barry fleet and Nelson fleet, were all mixed, and new warships were added, and an unprecedentedly powerful task force arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River in China.

Twelve battleships, four of which were more than 10,000 tons, and the smallest was also 7,500 tons, and on such a battleship, the number of cannons was large, and the caliber was all capital battleships, and the largest caliber of eight inches of cannons, at most one battleship, twelve were installed,

It can be said that a battleship can sweep the previous Chinese pre-Qing era, these years, British naval technology, shipbuilding technology, armament anti-war, have not stopped, are rapidly improving, this is also the reason why the British are willing to build battleships and other cruisers for the Chinese, first, there is a lot of silver to make money, second, they have countermeasures, there are more powerful warships, it seems to feel that this kind of battleship is not the most advanced for you to make, just to ensure the backward level of your country, is a kind of control,

At that time, there were no destroyers, and the battleships that specialized in dealing with submarines were a matter of the future, and the scale of thirty-six cruisers was definitely not a game, and there were eighteen heavy cruisers, between cruisers and battleships, all of which had a displacement of 5,000 tons or 4,500 tons, and the firepower of such a battleship was also quite strong.

Sixty-six large surface warships, eighty gunboats and other auxiliary fleets, such a mighty fleet, let alone combat, just looking at it makes people's scalps tingle,

The reconnaissance personnel along the coast of China have high-powered telescopes and can see far away, which is a reconnaissance weapon made by the Chinese, much more advanced than Europe, and they are all stupid: "My horse, so many warships." ”

All kinds of channels quickly transmitted the information, but when it really arrived at the Chinese naval fleet, it didn't take long for the British fleet to pounce.

Yes, in order to cover the main fleet, Britain sent a lot of sub-fleets, but those were mostly gunboats, in order to really win in the naval fleet, to change the previous decadent situation, the really large ships of the British army, all embraced,

At 9 o'clock in the morning of 11 June, the British Royal Navy's First Task Force, which had been prepared and mobilized for a long time, finally arrived in China, at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and began its attack on the gateway of the Yangtze River in China.

And so, an unprecedented naval battle began,

The victory of the Chinese Navy also held back its strength, wanting to meet the British army, and the victory of the army greatly encouraged the officers and men of the navy, and Zuo Zongtang also doubled his confidence and personally moved the headquarters to the battleship.

At present, China's East China Sea Fleet has six battleships, four heavy cruisers, 16 ordinary light cruisers, and more than 20 auxiliary warships such as gunboats.

Purely in terms of strength, this is also a good fleet, especially without battleships, not a joke, far more powerful than the Second Fleet that the United States just sent to China to blockade the mouth of the Yangtze River in Shanghai, the United States battleships are only two, moreover, among the Chinese battleships, there are three newly launched, artillery and other equipment systems, also relatively good, it can be said that if the Chinese fleet goes to fight the United States at this time, it will be absolutely bullish,

However, compared to the British fleet, it is much weaker, for example, Britain's largest battleship "Royal War", with a displacement of 14,000 tons, almost equivalent to two Chinese battleships, in the caliber of the main guns, the largest Chinese battleship is six inches, the British army is eight inches, in the number of heavy guns, the British army has thirty-four eight-inch cannons, the Chinese zero, six-inch cannons, the British army forty-eight, the first sixteen, that is, other warship artillery, the British army also has advantages, It's a battle of outnumbering,

"Our army will surely win, because the world's oceans belong to Her Majesty the Queen." The commander of the new task force, Admiral Halder, glared at the fierce eyes, lowered the telescope, pursed his thin mouth, and hummed,

The British rushed towards the mouth of the Yangtze River in a large diagonal battle line, as they spotted the Chinese fleet that was in full formation,

The Chinese fleet, under the leadership of the commander Zuo Zongtang, vowed to stop the enemy outside the mouth of the Yangtze River, the gray beard of the old general, so that the surrounding officers and soldiers were moved, and what is even more encouraging is that on the battleship, there is a coffin of the old general, he carried the coffin and fought,

"Officers and soldiers, our army is facing the most powerful enemy in the world, but General Qiu Yuancai of Guangzhou, that little man, and that former bandit with long hair can all win, and our upright officers and soldiers will never lose to him, have you heard?" No matter what, Zuo Zongtang still retains the psychological division between the officials and the bandits.

"Got it, got it, got it." In order to stimulate national unity, to a large extent, Luoyang preserved the old Qing army units that surrendered and reorganized, so there were some cowardly non-fighting behaviors of some former Qing troops in the Guangzhou Military Region.

This shout is only valid for the battleship he is on, and the rest of the battleships need to listen to the cannon and look at the direction and color of the flag on the battleship.

"Attack the enemy." This is Zuo Zongtang's order,

The British army attacked, I tested your grandma's, Lao Tzu also wants to attack, this stubborn old man, self-esteem is very high, there was no left and no evaluation of Hunan, so that he was a broken person, in the Qing Dynasty was famous, now, he is holding his breath, the world was captured by a little hairy boy Luo Yang, he still has to be a small soldier for him, but, this little soldier, is not easy to be, he will never embarrass himself,

When the fleets of the two countries were four thousand meters apart, they could clearly see each other, because the Chinese fleet was blocked at the mouth of the Yangtze River, so the British fleet attacked from the east, and at nine o'clock, the sun was slightly above the southeast, which was favorable to the British army's vision.

The trumpet of the Chinese fleet sounded, which indicated that the entire fleet had entered the effective range of the enemy, and a fierce naval battle that could determine the fate of the country's navy, and even the fate of the country, began.
