Hearing that he couldn't open fire, Cheng Biguang looked puzzled, now that the two sides are belligerents, what kind of politeness do they still use with the Japanese, but seeing that his first mate pointed to the Bird Island in the distance with an aggrieved face, Cheng Biguang could only raise the telescope in his hand to look.

After a closer look, he finally understood why the fleet didn't open fire, because at this time, it really couldn't open fire.

Obviously, just now, Cheng Biguang saw an impulse that almost made him jump off the bridge, the Japanese actually hoisted the white flag, and that white flag now replaces the original chrysanthemum flag fluttering in the wind, who is arrogant The sea breeze is fluttering, and look at the white flag, it is a king-size sheet.

This is troublesome, according to convention, once the other side hoists the white flag, the fleet cannot open fire.

Paralyzed, there was no blood of soldiers at all, and Cheng Biguang, who was a little dissatisfied, reluctantly put down the binoculars in his hand: "Raise the flag, let the Bird Island immediately cover all the artillery and cease fire immediately." ”

Although he was dissatisfied, he was not crazy enough to give the order to attack the warship that had surrendered, and in any case, it was also an armored cruiser.

The Torishima is a warship ordered by Japan from Britain three years ago, with a displacement of 5,654 squats, two 200-mm twin-mounted guns in the bow, and six 150-mm rapid-fire guns on the side chord. Ninety-six meters long, 20 meters wide, and five meters in draft, it is considered a big ship.

Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, Cheng Biguang doesn't care about the Japanese above, but cares about the surrendered warship, once it is captured, it means that as long as it is repaired one or two when it is towed back, this warship will be able to strengthen the strength of the Beiyang Naval Division, why not?

"Commander, no, they've ceased fire and begun to cover their artillery jackets." The first mate on the side did not leave, but said quietly.

I grass, listening to what the first mate said, Cheng Biguang raised the telescope again and looked, who said no, the current Bird Island has been completely moored on the sea, and the guns have all been covered with gun clothing, not only that, but all the personnel on the ship have stood on the deck. Arrange them in a row.

"Accept it." Throwing down this sentence, Cheng Biguang turned around and returned to his command tower, he didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. I don't want to care.

Sigh..... After seeing the Liaodong Navy in the distance signal agreeing to surrender, Fujiwara, the captain of the Torishima, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

You are unkind and unjust, after seeing Yaeyama abandon himself and flee with more horsepower, Fujiwara angrily smashed the telescope in his hand to the ground, and looked at the Liaodong Navy approaching him in horror. Looking at the thick artillery, Fujiwara's bitter gall was scared, and he was sure that as soon as he fired, he would suffer the blow of the Liaodong Fleet's devastating heart in less than a minute.

One by one, Fujiwara will definitely not be afraid, and will not let everyone surrender, however, now the armored cruisers alone have reached one to three, not to mention the battleships that have been swimming behind these armored cruisers.

After careful consideration, Fujiwara gave the order to hoist the white flag for the sake of the lives of the officers and men on the entire ship and his own life.

I thought that my order would be resisted by the officers and soldiers, but what I didn't expect was that after the order was issued, no one came to stop it, but successfully hoisted the white flag.

Finally, there is no need to bury yourself in the belly of the fish, Fujiwara, who wiped the cold sweat from his face, thought to himself.

Sasebo, Ito Yuhen looked motionlessly at the electric lights that were swaying from side to side outside the window.

Woowoo...... A whistle came from the direction of the military port, and Ito raised his head excitedly for a moment, and then lowered his head. He saw that it was only a torpedo cruiser that had entered the harbor just now, not the Yaeyama, which he wanted to know.

It's been half an hour since they went out, why is there still no movement, Ito Yuheng thought sadly in his heart.

Half an hour ago, he had already ordered two cruisers to go out to look for the traces of the Yaeyama patrol fleet, and it had not arrived for three hours, which made Ito Yuheng somewhat worried.

Knock Knock...... A sound of footsteps woke up Ito, and when he turned his head, Ito found that the person who came in was his chief of staff, Ono. I saw Ono holding a telegram in his hand, and after walking next to Ito Yuhiro, a telegram on the ground said: "Your Excellency Commander, the base camp telegram." ”

Hearing that it was a telegram from the base camp, Ito returned to the table and opened the contents.

Tanegashima Liaodong Fleet suddenly disappeared.

A few big characters, as if they were alive, stimulated Ito's eyes.

Suddenly lost their traces, and now the Yaeyama and other patrol ships did not come back in time, Ito Yuheng estimated that these three battleships may be more auspicious, or even bad, and have now been sunk by the Beiyang Naval Division.

What should come, will always come, from the time he entered Sasebo, he knew that it was a matter of time before Sasebo fell.

Snapping, putting the telegram in his hand on the table, Ito Yuhiro looked at the chief of staff Ono beside him: "Where do you think they will go?" ”

The chief of staff has been with Ito for so many years, and he can fully understand what Ito Yuheng means, without any hesitation, Ono walked to the map a few times, and took the command pole from the side, and with a snap, he slapped the command pole on Sasebo.

It seemed exactly as he thought, and Ito, who took a deep breath, nodded. Start meditating with your eyes closed. After a while, he opened his eyes, looked at the chief of staff who had been standing beside him, and said, "Inform the shore defense battery." Be prepared for battle, and in addition, immediately make all ships ready for first-class combat, maybe tomorrow, or the next minute, the Liaodong fleet will appear on the sea outside, and then give us a hard blow. ”

"Hey." Ono bowed his head and let out a hiatus, turned around and walked out.

Hey, it seems that the Yaeyama has already encountered the Liaodong Navy, and when Ono walked out, Ito Yuhiro picked up the telegram in his hand again and looked at it.

Judging from the above, it is clearly recorded in the telegram that the Liaodong Navy left Tanegashima on the evening of the day before, and counting the time of the voyage, today is the time to come to Sasebo,

Everything depends on the will of heaven, Ito Yuheng put down the telegram in his hand, he knows very well that if there is no alarm sounded in Sasebo tomorrow, then his judgment is a mistake, if there is, then it proves that it is time for a decisive battle with the Liaodong fleet. It is also a time of life and death.
