"Yes, you're right, this time we are a sneak attack, we have the right time and place, and our firepower is several times stronger than that of the combined fleet, I am too careful." Liu Jun smiled, turned over and hugged Zheng Yiqian.

"Head, I'm grass, don't look at insolence." Zhong Lin, who came in, saw Liu Jun holding Zheng Yiqian, and hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands.

Dog thing, it's really not the right time to come, Liu Jun rolled his eyes. After letting go of Zheng Yiqian, he looked at Zhong Lin: "What's wrong." ”

Hehe, Zhong Lin laughed twice and walked over: "Head, according to the intelligence of the Japanese station, Ito Yuheng already knows about the dispatch of our sailors. ”

The sound of a bell. The teacup in Liu Jun's hand suddenly turned over on the table.

Paralysis, did Japan know Lao Tzu's plan Liu Jun didn t pay attention to the fact that the tea had already flowed down the table to him, but frowned, and began to think about it in his heart.

"How did they react?" After a while, Liu Juncai raised his head and signaled that Zheng Yiqian didn't need to wipe the table, then stood up this time and looked at Zhong Lin motionlessly.

"There's nothing unusual about Hirobumi Ito, and the Combined Fleet stationed in Sasebo hasn't dispatched a response fleet."

Phew, taking a deep breath, Liu Jun patted his chest, as long as Japan did not send a receiving fleet, then there was no need to worry.

"Head, what do we need to do now?" Zhong Lin saw Liu Jun standing there motionless, and stepped forward to ask about his next plan.

"Wait, wait for Li He's news." Liu Jun turned around, looked at the map on the wall not far away, and clenched his fists.

In the Yellow Sea, night has come, and through the illumination of the moonlight, it can be clearly seen that on the sea, a huge fleet is sailing in the direction of the Liefei Islands at a speed of eleven knots, and the one in the front line is obviously a giant. The Yellow Dragon Flag on the mast, which is fluttering in the wind, is telling this sea area that this is the Beiyang Naval Division Fleet.

And judging from the outline, the warship at the front is the flagship of the Beiyang Naval Division, the battleship Ningyuan.

On the deck bridge, the whistling sea breeze blew in the face, making the already cold and biting steel railing covered with a thin layer of ice, on the bridge, a white military uniform, Li He, wearing a white cloak, was standing there quietly, looking at the dark sea in the distance in a daze.

There was a bang, and there was a sound of the door closing from the commander Tanai, and he didn't need to look at it, Li He knew that this was Yan Fu.

The footsteps stopped beside him, Li He took a deep breath, did not look back, but asked lightly, "How long will it take to arrive?" ”

"Judging from the charts, at the current speed, we will be able to reach the southern part of the Lefèx archipelago in eleven hours. Yan Fu's unique hoarse voice sounded beside Li He with the sea breeze.

Eleven hours, Li He frowned, slowly turned around, he saw that the current naval officers and men were busy in an orderly manner, carrying shells into the main turret and training shooting. And the flag-whisperers and lookouts on the mast are waving flags and lanterns from time to time to inform the warships behind.

"Let the ships slow down and move forward at a speed of ten knots." Li He thought for a moment and gave the order again.

The Japanese side is far away, and if they sail too fast, they may meet the combined fleet in front of the unloading troops, which will conflict with their own plans, and in addition, the Japanese combined fleet will have to unload the land forces in Suwon, which will take time, and if the time is not accurate, it can be missed.

Dada

The lights are the signals, and one after another the lights began to pass on the surface of the Yellow Sea, and in less than ten minutes, the Beiyang sailors, who were originally telling the sailing, suddenly slowed down and began to slowly move towards the Liefei Islands.

It was already nine o'clock in the morning on January 7, and from the time the fleet was ordered to sail at a speed of ten knots, the current Beiyang Naval Division was able to see from afar the uninhabited islands of the Liefei Islands.

"Commander, after passing the Lefy Islands, we are close to the waters of North Korea, do you see if we will station our fleet here and send torpedo boats to search for the combined fleet?" Yan Fu pointed to the faintly visible archipelago in the distance, stepped forward, and asked Li He, who was sitting in the command tower.

Looking down and pondering for a while, Li He estimated that the Japanese Combined Fleet had arrived in Suwon as early as last night, where it was unloading the army, and if possible, in a few hours, the escort fleet of the Combined Fleet would withdraw from Suwon and then pass through the waters of the Lifei Islands.

"The order is that after the ships arrive at the Lifei Islands, they will immediately anchor, and let the torpedo boats search for the traces of the Combined Fleet in the north-west direction, and report back immediately once the Combined Fleet is discovered."

"Understood," Yan Fu nodded. Turned around and walked out.

The huge iron sight anchor sound began to sound, and the main warships of the Beiyang Naval Division that had already sailed to the Liefei Islands had already docked, but the boiler did not stop firing, but kept running at all times.

A few minutes later, the two torpedo boats began to sail out of the waters of the warships moored around them and began to increase their horsepower in the distance.

Suwon, a small port in North Korea, now, the Fusang is quietly moored in the open sea, the huge muzzle of the cannon shows its fangs, is looking at the open sea, in the port, a large number of Japanese are busy unloading the supplies on the transport ship, and then with the efforts of the wizened North Koreans, carry them to the city.

On the deck of the battleship Fuso, Captain Fujiwara Osaku glanced at the navy that was busy unloading in the distance, and looked up at the time, it was already eleven o'clock. Turning his head to look at the army that was being unloaded in the distance, Fujiwara asked the first mate beside him: "How long will it take for the army to complete the unloading?" ”

"An hour." The first mate lowered his head and thought for a moment, and replied in the affirmative.

"Let them speed up and we will return as soon as the Army is unloaded." Fujiwara finished the order, tightened his military uniform, and turned back to his cabin, after all, it was much warmer than here.

At the port of Suwon, the transport ship sounded a deafening whistle, and as soon as this whistle sounded, it was announced that the army had finished unloading and could return home.

"The order was given to each ship to increase the coal filling and increase the steam pressure. Return to Sasebo. Fujiwara, who heard the signal, ran to the deck and gave a quick order, he hated the bleak weather.

Knock knock, the sound of brushing and brushing sounded, this is the sound of the Fusang pulling up the iron anchor.

The whistle sounded, and the six warships slowly sailed out of the open sea, and then lined up in a straight line, and began to increase their horsepower towards the Liefei Islands.

Behind the islands of the Lifel Islands, the Beiyang Naval Division has been anchored here for almost three hours, and during these three hours, Li He would come to the bridge every time he was away, looking at the sea in the distance, and he could see two torpedo boats coming back, but every time, except for seeing the sparkling sea in the distance, he couldn't see anything.

What's going on, could it be that the Japanese convoy has been evacuated, and why there is no news yet.

Li He, who frowned, kept walking back and forth on the bridge.

If this is the case, then there is a risk that the plan will fail. I can't finish the character that Liu Jun explained.

"Ahead, the torpedo boat on the left was spotted." On the mast of the Ningyuan, the lookout put down the telescope in his hand, pointed his finger, and shouted loudly.

Hearing this voice, Li He came to the bridge in three steps and two steps at once, raised the telescope in his hand, and then he found that in the distance, the No. 1 torpedo boat on the left was rushing here, and on the deck, he vaguely watched a sailor who kept waving the flag, but the distance was too far away to see what the sailor wanted to express at all.

"Commander, the first on the left waved the flag, and the Japanese Combined Fleet was found in the northeast." The sailors on the watchtower loudly told Li Heqi the meaning of his words.

With a sigh of relief, Li He clenched his fists and finally came.
