After Heihachiro Togo returned to China, as the first "returnee" to return to China, he has always been quite conceited about his naval business, but today, the steering skills of the captain of the small Chinese warship opposite did open his eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

How did Togo Heihachiro know that although Huang Jianxun had not studied in the UK, as the first batch of graduates of the Harbour Master School, his practical experience in boat operation at sea was much longer than that of Togo Heihachiro, and he often sailed long distances after serving as the "Feihong" pipe belt, and his experience and technology were not comparable to Togo Heihachiro!

And at this moment, Huang Jianxun looked at the water column splashed by the shells fired by the enemy ships around him, and he already had a plan to break the enemy!

"My lord! They're beating our ship! Zhou Fengzhi pointed to the "East" ironclad ship that was rampage in the sailing team with some anxiety, and said loudly.

"Let's get in! The one who hits them first! Huang Jianxun turned around and glanced at the "East", and said in a deep voice, "It's closer!" Let the machine guns hit hard! ”

Zhou Fengzhi suddenly understood what Huang Jianxun meant, and his eyes lit up suddenly.

In the first round of the battle just now, Huang Jianxun had already seen that although the Japanese ship's artillery fire was fierce, the firing speed was not fast, and the bullet was not accurate enough; because most of the shots were fired from the gun window of the gun room, there were dead ends, and the speed of the Japanese ship was much slower than that of the "Feihong," so the "Feihong" could not be hit by the bullet just now.

Compared with the Japanese warships, the firepower of the "Feihong" was too thin to cause effective damage to the hull of the Japanese warship, so Huang Jianxun decided to rely on the high speed of the "Feihong" to launch an immense attack on the Japanese ship and try to kill and injure as many personnel as possible on the enemy ship, so as to achieve the goal of effectively striking at the enemy.

In addition, Huang Jianxun used such a maneuver tactic for another purpose, that is, to direct the fire of the enemy ships to himself as much as possible, and to give those old-style division ships time to escape!

Soon, under the control of Huang Jianxun, the "Feihong" turned its bow, got rid of the attacks of "Rijin" and "Meng Chun", and rushed straight to the ironclad ship "Dong".

Seeing that the weak Chinese warship was once again rushing towards him, Ito ordered to stop attacking those Chinese sailing ships and instead concentrated his firepower and opened heavy fire on the "Feihong".

Several more shells flew in and landed around the "Feihong", although they stirred up a high column of water, and the falling sea water wet the bodies of the Chinese sailors on the deck of the "Feihong", but still not a single shell hit, and at the moment when the Japanese gunners were desperately reloading, the "Feihong" had already rushed to the front of the "East", and the 75-mm guns opened fire again, and two more shells hit the thick iron armor of the "East", leaving two pits and large pockmarks on the iron, although they did not cause more damage to the "East". , but the terrifying sound of the shell explosion still startled Saigo Komichi, who had returned to the command tower.

"What's going on? Why didn't the main gun fire yet? Saigo noticed that the battle was going on until now, and the 11-inch main gun of the "East" ironclad ship had not fired a single shot, and he couldn't help but be annoyed and yelled at Ito Yuhei.

"The speed of the enemy ship is too fast, and the main guns are not easy to aim." Ito did not tell Saigo that the seemingly powerful 11-inch gun of the "To" was actually very inflexible and the firing speed was also very slow, and it was difficult to aim and shoot at such a high-speed movement of the enemy ship, but replied vaguely.

And just as Ito Yuhyung's words fell, a 75-mm shell fired by a Chinese warship flew in, right on the side of the "East", accompanied by a loud bang, and some fragments flew into the command tower from the observation window with gunsmoke.

"They're so accurate!" Ito Yuma straightened up, looked at the frightened Saigo Congdao, brushed the sleeves of his dusty clothes, and said lightly.

Ito Yuma came to the observation window, looked out, and saw that the deck of the "East" was in shambles, and several Japanese sailors were struggling to drag the two bloody corpses off the deck.

Seeing this terrible scene, Ito Yuma's face turned slightly pale.

At this time, the "Feihong" had rushed to a fairly close distance from the "East" and happened to enter the dead end of the "East" 70-pounder gun and the 6-pounder and 4-pounder guns. Ito Yuma noticed that the "Higashi" failed to hit the opponent with several cannons, and he couldn't help but be secretly anxious.

At this moment, from the opponent's mast, a fine black smoke suddenly shot out!

Before Ito realized what was happening, a bullet had already burrowed into the observation window, flew past his face, and "snatched" into the plank of the wall!

Ito Yuma felt a hot sting in his face, and instead of dodging, he continued to look out through the observation window.

I saw that the flames shot from the mast of the enemy ship condescendingly swept over the deck of the "East", and the three Japanese sailors who could not dodge were hit, and they were beaten to the ground with bloody flesh and blood, and let out a miserable wail.

Ito stepped forward and pulled his brother away from the observation window.

On the "Feihong," Huang Jianxun saw the "Lin-Gatling" machine gun on the mast sweeping across the surface of the enemy ship, causing the Japanese to cry wolf, and he secretly felt happy in his heart.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

It was the sound of a cannonball exploding into the water again, and Huang Jianxun turned his head to look and saw that the "Rijin" had rushed over and was constantly shooting at the "Feihong". Another Japanese gunboat aimed its guns at the old divisional ships, which had become fragmented in formation.

In the face of the ferocious attack of the Japanese ships, the officers and men of the Penghu Navy Division were also unyielding and vigorously resisting, and one after another Fu ships faced the advancing Japanese ship "Meng Chun", and struggled to return fire with the old breech guns, but often only a few shots were fired before they were destroyed by the shells fired by the Japanese ships.

Seeing that the ships of Wu Qixun, the assistant commander of the Penghu Naval Division, were sunk, Huang Jianxun turned the bow of the ship and no longer entangled with the "East", but pounced on the "Meng Chun".

Because the firepower of the "Feihong" was too weak, he did not expect to be able to sink the "Meng Chun", but planned to attract the firepower of the enemy ships while killing and wounding the enemy ships, so as to give the remaining division ships of the Penghu Naval Division a chance to get out of trouble.

Seeing the "Feihong" rushing towards him, the "Meng Chun" really gave up the attack on those sailing ships and continued to shoot at the "Feihong"; this time Huang Jianxun did not shoot directly at close range as he approached the "East", but relied on his high speed to circle around the "Meng Chun."

Although the "Meng Chun" shot with all his might under the command of the captain Isobe Bao Yi Shaozuo, the shells were still lost one after another, and looking at the "Fei Hong" that was flying through the rain of bullets, Isobe Bao Yi couldn't help but scold.

Suddenly, a huge column of water rose on the sea not far from the "Meng Chun", and a loud bang accompanied by it interrupted the scolding of Isobian Baoyi, who stared at the sea in surprise, and after a while, he understood what was going on!

Just now, it was the main guns of the ironclad ship "East" that were firing!

After almost 15 minutes of fierce fighting, the 11-inch guns of the ironclad ship "East" finally fired the first shells. It's a pity that this cannon not only failed to hit the "Feihong" at high speed, but almost hit the "Meng Chun" with one hit!

"Order the main gun to stop firing! Don't hit your own people! Seeing this scene, Ito Yuma finally couldn't help but burst out and yelled at his brother.

Ito's face was red and white, and instead of noticing Saigo's murderous gaze at him, he hurriedly gave an order to a Japanese officer in charge of the order, and the officer hurried out of the command tower after receiving the order.

As if knowing what Saigo was thinking, Ito Yuma turned his head, quietly glanced at Saigo with a blue face, and came back to the observation window.

Saigo wanted to say something, but when he saw the bullet guff on Ito Yuma's face, he hesitated and closed his mouth.

Ito Yuma continued to observe the battle situation, and the visibility became low due to the smoke of gunfire in the distance, but through the binoculars, he could still see the figures of the three warships rushing back and forth, fighting hard.

Suddenly, Ito Yuma saw that with the salvo of the "Nisshin", a cloud of black smoke rose from the stern of the small Chinese warship.

Immediately afterwards, outside the Siling Tower, there were bursts of cheers from the Japanese sailors.

Saigo, who heard the cheers, and Ito Yuhiro came to the observation window and raised their binoculars.

In the telescope, the figure of the small Chinese warship is slowly getting smaller.

"It was hit by the Nisshin and is running away." Ito said, holding up the binoculars.

"Unfortunately, it's too fast for us to catch up." Saigo lowered his binoculars from the road and said excitedly, "Otherwise, we can achieve a annihilating victory." ”

Listening to Saigo's words, Ito Yuma sneered, turned around and walked out of the command tower, and came to the flying bridge.

At this time, with the withdrawal of the "Feihong" from the battlefield, the sound of the cannon on the sea gradually fell silent, and Ito Yuma looked at the Japanese sailors on the deck who were missing arms and legs and screaming loudly, and let out a heavy sigh.

Probably because the "Feihong" had just been repaired with a Gatling gun, the "Rijin" and "Meng Chun", which had not been able to catch up with the "Feihong", began to vent their anger on the Chinese sailing ships that did not have time to escape, and they sank these Chinese sailing ships one by one with artillery as if they were shooting targets in a drill, and after a while, all the Chinese sailing ships disappeared, and the sea was full of floating corpses, broken pieces of wood, and Chinese soldiers who were still struggling in the sea.

Ito Yuma looked at this scene, shook his head, and let out a deep sigh again.

"Brother, the wound on your face, let's deal with it!" Ito Yuhyung came to his brother's side, and he saw the wound on his brother's face and said with concern.
