Chapter 663: Why don't you open fire
How could there be soot in the southeast, there was no one just now, thinking of this, Akiyama raised the telescope in his hand and looked to the southeast, and sure enough, in the blue sky, a dark cloud appeared, and he knew very well that it was not a dark cloud, but because of the soot from the burning of the ship.

I haven't heard of the fleet coming back from the United States during this time, and besides, the timing is not right.
To the southeast, to the southeast, Akiyama, who had put down his binoculars, kept muttering silently in his heart.
The southeast is the direction of Tanegashima, and Tanegashima has been occupied by the Liaodong Army twenty days ago, and now there is a lot of smoke. I can't get it. Brush...... The sweat on Akiyama's face suddenly flowed out like sleep.
"Sound the battle alarm, all guns are in position, ready for battle." Akiyama's heart-rending roar spread to the entire Yaeyama.
Coo-goo-goo...... Coo-goo-goo..... The desolate sirens of the Yaeyama began to reach the sky.
Knock knock knock..... The Japanese soldiers, who had been in the cabin wearing black sailors' uniforms, panicked and tore open the gun jackets placed on the forts, and began to turn the muzzles of the guns and aim in the southeast direction.
"Commander, what's going on, why did you suddenly sound the battle alarm?" Fujita, the first mate of the Yaeyama, obviously hadn't seen the situation yet, asked with a puzzled expression, and Akiyama, who was standing on the bridge anxiously, asked.
This idiot, seeing that his first mate hadn't understood yet, Akiyama shook his head helplessly, pointed to the southeast direction and said, "That's the Liaodong Navy?" ”
Liaodong Navy, how is this possible, Fujita showed a look of disbelief on his face, and raised his binoculars.
The distance is still too far to see the target clearly. Fujita, who was helpless, could only put down the telescope in his hand, he still didn't believe it, this was the Liaodong Navy.
"To the southeast, discover the Liaodong Lushun Navy." In less than fifteen minutes, the words spoken by the lookout post on the mast completely convinced Fujita that it was the Liaodong Fleet that came.
"Three armored cruisers were found. Torpedo cruisers five. One battleship. Before Fujita could give a thumbs up and pat Akiyama's ass, the lookout post had already begun to report the type and number of ships on the other side.
Oh my God, how do you fight, Fujita gasped.
Want something bad? At the same time as the report from the observatory was completed, Akiyama, who was standing on the bridge, frowned, and he analyzed that the purpose of the Liaodong Navy this time was to attack Sasebo.
Fight, I can't beat it, the opponent has three armored cruisers, and I only have two, not to mention, people still have battleships, if this fights, in less than an hour, they will be destroyed.
You can't fight, you have to leave quickly. “
"Hurry up, get out of here." Thinking of this, Akiyama said to Fujita, who was still stunned beside him.
What the? Hasten? After looking at Akiyama with wide eyes, Fujita pointed his finger at the Torishima, which was only less than three hundred meters away from him, and said, "Your Excellency Osa, we have accelerated, what about Torishima?" ”
Torishima, hearing Fujita say this, Akiyama looked over and saw that the sailors on the Torishima were adjusting the muzzles in a panic. Efforts were made to adjust the ship to an angle conducive to firing, but the speed of less than ten knots seriously affected the adjustment.
Rather than everyone die, it is better to let Bird Island die alone, Akiyama, who thought of this, nodded: "Give Bird Island a flag and let him cover our evacuation." ”
"Hey." Fujita replied, and he also knew that if he had been accompanying Bird Island, there would be only one result, and all of them would die.
on the Bird Island. Captain Fujiwara Jiro kept raising his binoculars and watched the black Liaodong fleet in the distance coming towards him.
"Report, the Yaeyama has a flag and asks us to cover their evacuation." The first mate, who was staying on the side, looked at the flag from Yaeyama not far away, and said in a low voice.
What the hell, Fujiwara, who heard this, looked at his first mate after his eyes widened: "You...... You're saying it again. ”
"Yaeyama asked us to cover their evacuation." Seeing Fujiwara's eyes about to eat people, the first mate said in fear.
Brush, Fujiwara, who heard this, did not speak, but raised the telescope, but now he was no longer observing the Liaodong Navy, but transferred the telescope to the Yaeyama not far away, and sure enough, he had already seen that Yaeyama was speeding up, and the current speed was about to reach fifteen knots.
Eight Ga Ya Road, let Lao Tzu be a substitute for the dead ghost. Thinking of this, Fujiwara snapped and threw the telescope on the deck: "Send a signal to stop them." ”
Whoa...... Whoa...... The signal soldiers kept sending out the signals, but there was no answer waiting for them.
Bird Island, abandoned.
On the 12-nautical-mile sea, on the deck of the Yinsen armored cruiser and the bridge, Captain Cheng Biguang was motionless and raised the telescope in his hand to look at the lonely Torishima in the distance.
Shameful, even more hateful, Cheng Biguang depressedly put down the telescope in his hand, looked at the Yaeyama, which was already only the size of a grain of rice and was fleeing in a hurry, revealing a look of contempt.
Originally, I thought that I would be a pioneer commander this time, and I found these three fat sheep off the coast of Japan, and I could make good meritorious contributions, who knows, the Japanese actually ran away, which is really too shameless for himself, and Cheng Biguang, who was very unhappy in his heart, could only sigh, handed over the command to his first mate, and turned back to his cabin to lie down and sleep, he believed that a battleship and three armored cruisers, even if they fought indiscriminately, could destroy this bird island.
Less than fifteen minutes after he fell asleep, there was a knock on the door of his cabin. Cheng Biguang, who was not asleep yet, could only open the door, only to see his first mate standing in front of the door.
"What, is the battle over?" After saying this, Cheng Biguang looked outside suspiciously, he didn't hear the sound of shelling, could it be that Bird Island sank by itself.
"Commander, you'd better go and see for yourself." With that, the first mate got out of the way.
What's the matter, seeing the embarrassed expression on the first mate's face, Cheng Biguang grabbed his military hat and buckled it on his head, then turned around and walked outside.
Coming to the bridge, Cheng Biguang found that the fleet had now completely reached the effective firing range, but he was very puzzled why, the fleet just didn't fire.
"Why don't you fire the artillery, didn't you say that you will fire when you reach the firing range?" Cheng Biguang was a little dissatisfied, and his speech was a little unpolite.
"Commander, it's not that we don't open artillery, it's that we can't fire cannons, you look at its mast."
What's wrong with the mast, Cheng Biguang saw that his first mate was so aggrieved that he could only raise the telescope.
, this really can't be fired.
