Sink it!

This is the strongest roar of the Chinese Navy!

Sink it!

"Northbound" began to sink rapidly, and it had lost the ability to continue struggling.

Shimizu Ruyoshi didn't move, no matter how persuaded by his subordinates.

He silently watched the sinking of his ship, silently watching the panicked soldiers.

A corpse was not far from him, and Shimizu Ruyoshi let out a long sigh.

Blood, flowing from his head......

Himself and the "Kitakami" became the first victim of the Sino-Japanese naval war, the glorious traditions of the Japanese Navy, and let themselves be tarnished

"Your Excellency, please abandon ship as soon as possible."

"Baga!" Shimizu Ruyoshi seemed to have received a great insult: "As a naval officer of the Empire, I will die on my ship!" Run for your lives, I won't leave. ”

The sea was rapidly flooding the "Kitakami", and tears flowed from Shimizu Ruyoshi's eyes.

In the 12th year of the Republic of China, at 10:25 a.m. on August 1Q, 1Q23 AD, the light cruiser "Kitakami" of the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy sank.

This was the first Japanese ship to sink in the Sino-Japanese "Battle of the Diaoyu Islands".

Compared with Shimizu Ruyoshi, Fan Orin is lucky. He at least saw the sinking of the "Northbound".

He let out a long sigh in his heart, although he didn't see the victory of the Sino-Japanese naval battle with his own eyes, but at least, he saw the sinking of a Japanese warship.

It's worth it, it's worth it.

Although the "Haiyi" is also about to sink, it is worth nothing for Fan Erlin. In fact, he knew very well that it would be difficult to make progress in naval warfare in his own ability, and that the Chinese Navy would be a world of young people in the future.

And he died on the sea he loved so much, and he had nothing to regret......

Fan Erin couldn't hear anything from his subordinates, he slowly closed his eyes, and if he could, he wanted to sink into the sea with his beloved warship......

In the 12th year of the Republic of China, 1Q23 A.D., 1Q1Q a.m. At 35 hours, the cruiser "Hai Analysis" of the Fujian Fleet of the Chinese Navy sank

Fan Erlin, captain of the cruiser "Hai Analysis" of the Fujian Fleet of the Chinese Navy, participated in the operation to protect overseas Chinese, and was killed in the Sino-Japanese "Diaoyu Island Naval Battle" and sank the Japanese ship "Beishang", at the age of 47, colonel. Posthumously awarded the rank of Vice Admiral of the Republic of China!

In the naval battle on August 1Q, one cruiser from each side was sunk, a destroyer of the Chinese Navy was seriously damaged, and a cruiser of the Japanese Navy was slightly damaged.

In terms of casualty ratio, the two sides are about the same, and the Chinese Navy suffers a slight loss, but it is enough to make the young Chinese Navy proud of its achievements in the first naval battle after the reconstitution of the Chinese Navy!

On the day of the naval battle on August 1Q, the two sides did not exert all their strength, but every naval palace knew that when the darkness of the night dissipated and the sun shone on the sea level the next day, the decisive battle would really break out......

"Northern Expedition".

Zhang Xiaoyue and Lu Yixuan, deputy commander of the Fujian Fleet and captain of the "Northern Expedition," witnessed the sinking of the "Beishang," the sinking of the "Haiyi," and the tragic martyrdom of Fan Erlin.

The cruiser Haiyi was purchased from England by the Qing government in 18Q6. Displacement: 43...... tons, speed 24 knots. The ship is 3 meters long, 14.2 meters wide and has a draft of 6.1 meters. Equip 2 doors 2. 3UU main gun, 1. 11 QUU secondary guns, 12 47UU secondary guns, 4 37UU machine guns. In addition, there are 5 torpedo tubes and 445 personnel.

Xinhai chalk hit, house with the Manchu navy 1. The rest of the warships revolted together.

After that, the "Haiyi" once became the main warship of the Chinese Navy.

And after Wang Hengyue, the president of the Republic of China, vigorously developed the navy, the "Hai Yi" gradually withdrew from its position as the capital ship!

However, the "Haiyi" has always existed as a member of the Chinese Navy, and like other warships, it has witnessed the process .........of the Chinese Navy from weak to strong again.

Although it is now sunk, it is the same as the Chinese Navy, from Pannia to rebirth......

No matter how many years have passed, the "Hai Analysis" will not be forgotten, as long as the "Diaoyu Dao Naval Battle" and the revitalization of the Chinese Navy are mentioned, they will always talk about the "Hai Analysis" and all the stories that happened to it

The night breeze blew on Zhang Xiaoyue and Lu Yixuan.

Today's naval battle is not fierce, and the real decisive battle has not yet begun. Tomorrow will be the day to decide the winner.

"The road of the Chinese Navy to dominate the sea begins with this naval battle." Lu Yixuan put on his iconic pipe and said: "Sea power means everything to a country, and I remember that Mahan, the author of the theory of sea power, said that sea power is the one that can build a nation into a great nation by virtue of or through the sea -- cut east and west." Mahan's exposition expands the connotation and extension of sea power to the greatest extent. In my opinion, sea power should include both military and non-military forces at sea. The former includes the fleet, including affiliated bases, ports and other facilities, while the latter includes the ocean-related subsidiaries and their capabilities, which are the sum of the country's maritime economic strength, with overseas trade as the core......"

Zhang Xiaoyue nodded: "Sea power is actually a country's comprehensive strength on the ocean. The establishment and development of a powerful maritime force is of great significance to promoting the prosperity of the country's economy and the accumulation of wealth, seizing sea supremacy, winning wars at sea, and safeguarding the country's international political status. Sea power not only marks a country's overall ability to use and control the sea, but also determines whether a country and a nation can become a great nation. ”

He paused there: "From this point of view, the path of Commander Heng to vigorously develop the navy is completely correct. ”

"Sea power has always been an important guarantee for the strong development of a great country. This statement was excellently demonstrated in the rise of Britain. If the sea power holds the country, it will prosper; If there is no sea power, the country will decline"" Lu Yixuan took two puffs of cigarette: "The construction of our navy has been preliminarily completed, and this naval battle with Japan is the best time to test the extent to which our navy has developed, but I don't think Heng Shuai's meaning seems to be focused on how to defeat the Japanese navy......"

Chuan Hengshuai wants to become a maritime power that can compete with Britain and the United States for hegemony. Zhang Xiaoyue smiled and said: "Although Heng Shuai has always said that a strong navy takes several generations of efforts, in fact, he is more anxious than anyone else, and he hopes that the Chinese navy will become the number one maritime power overnight, although he also knows that this is unrealistic." However, there is nothing that can shake his determination to develop the Chinese navy, and I will never forget the gunboat on the edge of Sichuan in my life

A fishing boat with a small woman on it, is a cannon.

"How?" Wang Hengyue was very proud: "Lao Tzu's words count, right?" ”

"Yes, yes" Wu Qianlong couldn't cry or laugh: Chuan Hengshuai, this is a boat, what kind of boat, the cannon is there, I'm afraid I can't fire it, right? As soon as it opened, the ship had to fall apart by six

"You're not talking nonsense." Wang Hengyue said instead: "If this can really fight, then Lao Tzu will be able to arm dozens of warships today!" ”

"Yes, yes, 1 is handsome and wise."

"Wise fart." Wang Hengyue said with a smile: "Lao Tzu just gave you such a meaning, or, or maybe this is a symbol, the beginning of our water army." In the future, when we really have a navy and become stronger, I will make a museum for this gunboat to preserve, so that everyone knows that this is how our navy started! ”

Hearing Zhang Xiaoyue tell this story, Lu Yixuan couldn't help laughing.

That's how China's navy started!

"That gunboat is called the Mighty." Zhang Xiaoyue said with a slight smile: "Our Chinese naval dream started from this Qiangwei, no one thought at that time that we would have battleships, cruisers, and submarines"...,

"And aircraft carriers." Lu Yixuan said: Chuan Hengshuai attaches great importance to aircraft carriers to the point of no return, and it can even be said that he is fascinated! ”

"yes!" Zhang Xiaoyue said in a loud voice: Chuan Hengshuai said before that this naval battle is not a decisive battle in the real sense, but only to hit the confidence of the Japanese Navy, improve our self-confidence, and prepare for a real decisive battle in the future

The Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier group and submarine group are all being vigorously developed, and a large amount of capital, manpower, and material resources have been poured into it.

However, the "Battle of the Diaoyu Islands" is not yet the time to reveal China's entire background.

Zhang Xiaoyue and Lu Yixuan wondered why Heng Shuai would arrange everything so well or, more accurately, not to be orderly, but to have insight into opportunities, and always predict the enemy's next move in advance

And why did you choose to fight the Japanese at this time? Why launch a campaign to recover Northeast China, Taiwan, and Korea at this time?

Even, this was arranged by Heng Shuai a few years ago, and he has been waiting for this year and this month.

Zhang Xiaoyue thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, Heng Shuai's mind will never be able to be understood.

He breathed a sigh of relief gently, and then said slowly, "Let's prepare for tomorrow's decisive battle!" ”。 ）
