Keep in mind!

"Ordered General He, the two ships 'Zhenhai' and 'Weiyuan' immediately turned around and formed a battle line with our fleet, preparing to meet the 'Weichen'. 【】”

The Qing Dynasty established the country with a bow and horse, and did not attach much importance to the naval division, especially outside the recovery of Taiwan, the naval division was repeatedly abolished, even if the rank of the retained naval division troops was also low, this time the Eastern Crusade, although Hongqing and the old thirteen fought for it in many ways, but it was difficult to make great improvements, all the officers of this powerful fleet had low ranks, and the commander of the sub-fleet was only a guerrilla general, as for the captains of the ships, they were only the rank of thousands, and there was a lack of command sequence between the sub-fleets. It is very easy to have problems in the ownership of command, just as this happens, Wang Changgeng is unrelenting to take over the command of the operation, and the orders have been issued, but the reaction of the "Zhenhai" is a little slower, and He Lin obviously hesitated for a while before he reluctantly accepted Wang Changgeng's instructions and began to lead the "Zhenhai" and "Weiyuan" to turn around.

"Rush forward, at all costs, stop the breakthrough of the enemy ships!"

He Lin hesitated, even if the flaws were exposed, but he saw that the problem was not Sakata Yokozo, who was thunderous because of Ito Masayoshi's cowardice and incompetence, but Honda Henglong, who was commanding his own fleet to fight with the "Zhenhai" and "Weiyuan" The huge hull sank two ships, but finally desperately landed on the side of the "Weiyuan" and successfully dragged the breakthrough operation of the first detachment of the Qing army.

"Well done, all the warships of the Chinese army obeyed the order, and immediately blocked the enemy troops who came to help, and blocked them for me!"

Although Yokozo Sakata has never liked the lowly Honda Henglong, he still appreciates his ability, and when he saw that Honda Henglong had successfully seized the hesitant fighter plane of the Qing Army's First Fleet, he was overjoyed and roared again and again to order the Chinese army's warships to swarm up, desperately blocking the rescue operation of the Qing Army's vanguard fleet.

"Damn it, hit me hard! Rush in! ”

Seeing that the "Zhenhai" and the "Weiyuan" were entangled by the enemy fleet because of their inresolute tactical movements, they immediately became furious, and then saw that more than 100 enemy warships were already rushing towards them, and it was obvious that they were planning to desperately block their own rescue operations.

The four warships of the Qing Pioneer Fleet lined up, although in the chaotic battle, they still maintained the battle line very well, and the advantage of artillery fire was brought into full play, and under the cooperation of each other, the rounds of artillery bombardment could be described as extremely fierce, and all the warships of the Japanese Kingdom who dared to rush from the flanks were all sunk and wounded, although they were deeply encircled, but they were safe, but they were powerless on the front, and there was nothing to do, even if it was such a huge ship as the "Zhenyuan" at the head, there was only one bow gun available, Although relying on the advantage of the huge hull, it sank three warships of the Japanese Kingdom one after another, but its own speed was irrepressibly slowed down in the successive impacts, and it was difficult to have the previous indomitable impact force, and it was forced to move forward slowly while fighting, and in a short time, it was really difficult to merge with the two warships of the First Squadron that were nearly a mile apart, so far, the momentum of chaotic war has been achieved.

The tactics of the Japanese fleet are not very unusual, but it is the method of hand-to-hand combat used by Zheng Chenggong when he recovered Taiwan, the original Dutch fleet was also strong and artillery, but once it was dragged into the chaotic battle, its own artillery superiority was difficult to reflect, in the chaotic war, the disadvantage of insufficient troops was infinitely magnified, and finally ended up in a fiasco, and now, the Qing army is also facing such a troublesome situation on the southeast battlefield, three battlefields, Wang Changgeng's department, which has maintained a good formation, can still occupy a certain upper hand, while the "Zhenhai" and "Weiyuan" have been suppressed by the Japanese warships and cannot move, and the "Weiyuan" has even been forced into the predicament of broadside battles, as for the "Weichen", now only dozens of officers and soldiers led by He Ming are still insisting on fierce battles, but the deck has already fallen, and now they are relying on the geographical advantage in the cabin to resist the impact of the Japanese soldiers wave after wave, if nothing else, It was only a matter of time before the whole ship fell.

Reinforcements, reinforcements! At this moment, the two detachments of the Qing army have fallen into a chaotic battle, although they are fighting desperately, but relying on their own strength is no longer enough to get out of the predicament, what is needed is reinforcements, even if only one detachment arrives, it is enough to change the current situation of passive defense, but where are the reinforcements? The answer is in the north - the main battleships of the Qing Dynasty, which had eliminated the remnants of the enemy of Ono Shinji's department, finally freed their hands, and the fifteen battleships of the whole fleet were divided into two, in two columns, separated by a distance of 400 steps, like two sharp blades from the north straight down from the wind, and in an instant they rushed into the battlefield like a knife cutting butter.

"Alas...... retreat to Hamamatsu Port!"

Seeing that the battle situation was irreparable, Honda Henglong sighed painfully, stomped his feet, regardless of the rest of the departments, and gave a straightforward retreat order, but his heart was full of unwillingness, no side, as long as the main fleet of the Qing army was a quarter of an hour late, he could take the "Weichen" and "Weiyuan", and even drag the "Zhenhai" into the broadside battle, and the rest of the ships could free up their hands and force the Qing vanguard fleet into a cruel broadside battle. It is also categorically unable to give full play to the advantage of artillery fire, and has to fight with the Japanese naval division, if this is the case, it is difficult to say how the victory or defeat between the two sides is, but unfortunately, the wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, the defeat has been decided, Honda Henglong does not intend to live and die with his own main fleet, and leads the remaining more than 60 warships under his command regardless of the various departments in the fierce battle, and even ignores the soldiers who are fighting on the Qing warships, and flees wildly towards the western sea.

"Baga, Honda Henglong, you bastard, you dare to escape, I will kill you, kill you!"

As soon as the main fleet of the Qing army arrived, Sakata Yokozo knew that his side would not be able to escape defeat, but he did not intend to admit defeat, but wanted to hit the Qing fleet as hard as possible, even if he tried his best to fight the entire Edo Naval Division, he did not hesitate, there was nothing to do, just because he knew very well that the Qing fleet was coming from an expedition, and if there was no one, there would be one less, and there would be nowhere to replenish, as long as he could sink and damage the Qing warships, he could greatly relieve the pressure on his own defense, and this idea was undoubtedly decisive, but unfortunately he did not wait for his order. There is no doubt that if Honda Henglong's department escapes like this, the rest of the warships will lose their fighting spirit and morale, and Sakata Yokozo's battle plan will not be realized.

"Lord Sakata, our army is not in a good position, so let's withdraw first?"

Seeing that Sakata Yokozo was patronizing and losing his temper, but he had no intention of withdrawing the army, a flag standing next to him couldn't hold back, and hurriedly suggested a sentence from the side.

"Yaga! The whole army is fighting to the death, and there are those who dare to withdraw, this is the end, war, war, war! ”

As soon as the flag book's voice fell, Sakata Yokozo didn't say a word, pulled out the katana at his waist, and slashed hard, and the head of the flag was cut off, and then he held the bloody katana in his hand, and issued an order to fight to the death.

War? What to fight? Although Sakata Yokozo's death order has been issued, most of the Japanese warships have also fought to the death according to the order, and even did not hesitate to launch a ferocious suicidal assault, but in the face of the powerful firepower output of the main fleet of the Qing Dynasty, all the resistance seems so powerless, and the Japanese warships that dare to charge are like moths that throw fire, in addition to being sunk, they are helpless to get the powerful impact of the Qing army.

This battle began with the battle between the two forward fleets at the end of the time, and fought until the moment of Shen, after more than two hours of fierce battle, the Qing army defeated the Edo Navy Division in one fell swoop at the cost of serious injuries to the two battleships of the "Weichen" and "Weiyuan", in addition to the Honda Henglong Department saw the opportunity quickly and escaped smoothly, the rest only scattered more than a dozen warships escaped from Shengtian, the main force was wiped out by the Qing army, and even the commander of the Naval Division, Sakata Yokozo, did not escape a catastrophe, and was sunk into the sea with its flagship, so far, The famous Edo sailors as a whole in the Wakuni Kingdom no longer exist!

"Victory!"

"We won!"

"Kill all the dogs!"

……

As the last Japanese warship was sunk, the rumbling cannon finally stopped, and the blood-colored sea was first dead silent, but it didn't take long for the cheers of the Qing officers and soldiers to suddenly rise.

"The whole fleet is here, march north, and take Edo!"

On the tall bridge of the flagship "Zhenwu", Sun Mingxu stood expressionlessly, allowing his soldiers to vent the joy of victory, and when the cheers stopped for a while, he waved his hand and gave an order in a relaxed tone, and then saw that the Qing fleet began to form a whole team, escorting the seriously injured "Weiyuan" and "Weichen" slowly marching in the direction of Edo Bay......
