After the torpedo boat fired the torpedo, it waited quietly,

The British were naturally surprised when they saw those things rushing over, but they had no experience and didn't know anything, they only watched, wanted to dodge, and didn't have time, they got close to the Chinese gunboats that fought again, that ruthless man,/

Of the eleven British battleships that were wounded and maintained, nine were torpedoed and sunk, and although the time of sinking varied, they were all very fast.

The two battleships were still able to escape, and they quickly repaired the power and escaped, these two were fast battleships, and the thieves were slippery, which made the officers and men of the Chinese torpedo boat unit more depressed,

However, at the cost of five gunboats and more than eighty officers and men, the Chinese gunboat unit performed a great feat, annihilating most of the remaining fleet of the enemy and clearing the roads.

"Start laying mines right away."

The gunboat hauled some things and quickly dropped them in the south channel at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the round iron lumps, very large, slipped into the water one after another, this is the legendary mine,

The twelve surviving British battleships were bombarded by this strange mine, so under the desperate struggle of the British officers and soldiers, only four battleships finally survived because of their huge hulls and solid structures, and fled in embarrassment.

That's it, or because of the sacrifice of the gunboat troops, Admiral Halder saw that the situation was critical, so he ordered the gunboats to be the vanguard to attack the conspiracy of the squadron, and as a result, dozens of small boats that were small and exquisite, and survived were hit and exploded, and they were also wiped out.

Looking at the four British battleships that fled in panic, the remnants of the Chinese fleet who rushed over showed a look of regret.

"I didn't wipe out all the enemies." Zuo Zongtang said regretfully,

Actually, enough is enough,

In this battle, the squadron paid a heavy price, and finally hit the British task force and won the final victory.

China's East China Sea Fleet, three battleships, two heavy cruisers, eleven light cruisers, only nine remained, pitiful, less than half, these, and minor injuries, the British fleet lost more ships, sixty-six large surface ships, only six escaped, nearly a hundred small gunboats, only eighteen were able to follow back, the British fleet achieved the great slimming plan in history,

The British fleet was no longer able to form an army, so it could only flee into the depths of the East China Sea in embarrassment, and it was not until it was transferred to Hong Kong that it took a breath of air.

This is an unprecedented naval battle between China and Britain, in the case of serious lack of strength, the Chinese navy relied on land-based weapons, newly invented torpedoes, mines and other weapons, relying on mortar ambushes, annihilated more than eighty percent of the enemy army.

After the enemy retreated, the Chinese fleet quickly stopped the pursuit, returned to the mouth of the Yangtze River, and robbed the people of the two navies who were struggling along the way, and at the same time, ordered the soldiers and civilians near the river bank to come out to deal with the aftermath.

More than 20 gunboats, continue to lay mines, in the case of the naval fleet is seriously injured, if there is a new enemy fleet to attack, of course, it is dangerous, so, the Chinese ** blocked this area with mines, anyway, the Chinese ** does not expect to go to sea and the British fleet alone, it can be regarded as a self-blockade,

More than 200 mines, not only sealed the mouth of the Yangtze River, but also sealed the channel of the British invasion, the establishment of the first naval barrier, anyway, at that time, China, did not need such an urgent sea channel, but suffered from France, the Netherlands and other countries, China has just expelled the British economic power in China, uprooted, they are proud, they have sent fleets to China to develop business, in order to prohibit the expansion of the economic power of these countries, this practice, is the most realistic and reasonable explanation,

For the economic composition of Western countries and the occupation of the Chinese market, Luo Yang can identify with the nationality the most, and what he hates the most is the so-called globality, otherwise, to throw China's most profitable industries to foreign forces, and let Chinese enterprises and people engage in sweat and sweat labor, is what he as the bottom of the people can not understand, when you are an emerging country still has enough competitiveness, you take the initiative to integrate into the world, it is sad,

Soon, Luo Yang knew the news of the fierce battle at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and also knew the result, for the result, he was not surprised, the formulation of this plan, he participated, of course, there are several other plans, all according to the situation to improvise, in any case, as long as there are no particularly big accidents, no matter what the price of the Chinese Navy pay, there will be a reward,

The news of the battle at the mouth of the Yangtze River still shocked all the Chinese, so the news of the victory of the naval battle at the mouth of the Yangtze River once again filled China's official media,

Yes, in China, a large number of media have also begun to be organized, mainly newspapers, there are national-level, comprehensive nature of the Heavenly Kingdom Daily, there are different types of political, economic, cultural, scientific and technological newspapers, and even special advertising daily newspapers, as well as the street Western knowledge newspapers, magazines, single, without the slightest doubt, these are all government-run, state-run, no private is allowed to set foot in,

It is absolutely not allowed, and anyone who dares to run newspapers and magazines privately will be severely punished.

What Luo Yang hates the most is that there are too many centrifugal tendencies on the modern Internet and newspapers and magazines, and many forces are openly eroding the authority and cohesion of a country, which is a very serious political tendency, but unfortunately, the country is calm, this kind of generosity is incomprehensible to ordinary people, and similarly, crazy information garbage, negative news, but also makes people's minds extremely confused, so that the positive energy of the society is greatly diluted, and even distorted,

The media must be government-run and must be consistent with the central government.

Now, all the media are working at full speed to spread the news of the great victory at the mouth of the Yangtze River to the whole country, and in a short period of time, almost everyone in the whole country knows about this battle, and they are extremely proud.

The central government came forward to congratulate the East China Sea Fleet that participated in the campaign, rewarded Zuo Zongtang, commander of the fleet and head of the Shanghai Special Administrative Region, and expressed appreciation for all the great naval officers and men who fought bravely and sacrificed their lives, guaranteed a certain optimal pension, and commended more than a dozen captains who died bravely with their real names and posthumously awarded military ranks, all of whom were rear admirals.

The Chinese side, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, also conveyed the message to the legations of various countries.

The Legations, once again, were shocked by this crazy news,

Because of the interrogation of prisoners of war, the Chinese government got hold of the huge size of the British task force, twelve battleships, fifty-four light and heavy cruisers, nearly 100 gunboats, and even disclosed the number, name, captain, displacement, and main guns of the British ships in the newspapers as much as they could.

The number of Chinese fleets to fight was also announced, but for land-based weapons, torpedo mines, etc., they were hidden.

World public opinion, in an uproar for a while, everyone while extremely doubting the authenticity of this war report, also maintained extreme attention and mystery to the Chinese fleet, in awe,

"If, as the Chinese Foreign Ministry said, most of the British task force was annihilated by them, China's naval power would be terrible." The French minister nervously pumped his teeth,
