Chapter 903: The Haze Over Malacca
Celeste felt his head buzz and felt a wave of vertigo, Oh my God, Seventh Brigade! He patronized the contact with the mainland and deployed defenses, and even forgot about the 7th Brigade's rush to Ding Alan Bay!
It's almost all over now, right? Damn, if you go any further, it's the territory of the mercenary corps, didn't you send the best piece of meat to the tiger's mouth and get on the horse?
"Someone, someone! Immediately send fast horses to give the 7th Brigade an order, ordering Miku to immediately lead the army to retreat back, retreat immediately! 100,000 urgent! ”
Celeste roared and conveyed the order. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's just that when Celeste gave the order, Miku, the commander of the 7th Brigade, had already become a prisoner of Ville Hengtong!
The loss of a seventh brigade is a fatal blow to Celeste, the entire Philippine Islands, Spain will no longer have a large-scale military force, even the indigenous army that immediately recruits thirty or forty thousand people is useless, there is no veteran with rich combat experience as a skeleton, these natives are just a group of paper tigers, and they are useless!
However, Celeste and Spain should be considered lucky, and the most unfortunate thing is the British Empire, Malacca of the British Empire!
It has been three days and three nights since the mixed fleet left Malacca, and at the speed of the fleet, it has now left Malacca for more than 2,000 kilometers, and even if it does not reach the Taiwan Strait, it is almost there.
At this time, the Shandong Navy Division had also detoured from the east coast of the Philippine Islands to the west coast, and began to advance in the southwest direction, of course, from the east coast to the west coast, and before arriving at the Strait of Malacca, the distance was also more than 3,000 kilometers, and it was not possible to arrive in a day or two.
Ding Ruchang and Luo Bicheng stood on the deck of the flagship of the Shandong Navy Division, the two of them were triumphant, just a feint to the north attracted all the Asian fleets of the British Empire, haha, now Malacca's defense is empty, it is a good opportunity to start by himself, ******, this time, I must give the British a color to see, so that he knows how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has!
Chopping through the waves all the way, quickly approaching Malacca, in two days, you can reach Malacca.
"Hurry, hurry, Lao Ding, tell the fleet to speed up faster, Lao Tzu can't wait!"
"You're calling a fart?"
Ding Ruchang didn't have a good breath, "Lao Luo, we need to recuperate, do you know how to recuperate?" Sailing at full speed is only used in battle, and the speed of weekday sailing cannot reach the fastest, so the loss of the battleship's steam turbine is too great! ”
Luo Bicheng's face was stunned, for cavalry, he is naturally an expert, but for the navy, he is also a layman, where can he understand this? Seeing that Ding Ruchang was dissatisfied, Luo Bicheng smiled and quieted down.
The Shandong Navy Division thought about Malacca again, and in the north, two thousand kilometers away, the mixed fleet also came to the edge of the Taiwan Strait at this time.
When he arrived in the waters near the Taiwan Strait, the commander of the fleet, Bonella, also began to be solemn, and the combat strength of the fleet that was about to be faced was not weak, and it was necessary to have at least a certain strength to defeat the Spanish fleet to the ground.
"The order ordered the battleships West Brom and Ness to advance to the front of the flanks respectively, to observe the enemy's situation, and once the enemy situation was discovered, immediately raise the alarm, and order, all battleships to enter a state of combat readiness and be ready to enter the battle at any time; All the soldiers, all cheer me up, this battle, we must fight the majesty of the empire! ”
Bonella solemnly issued military orders, and the entire fleet began to get nervous, waiting for the arrival of the naval battle.
Soon, the fleet arrived at the southern tip of the Taiwan Strait, and the entire fleet was sabre-rattling and heavily guarded, especially the two battleships in the future were even more nervous!
However, there was no movement at all!
"Could it be, is it that their fleet is all deployed in the northern part of the Taiwan Strait, and not in the south? It's also possible! ”
Bonnet looked at the sea and saw that there was nothing abnormal on the sea, and he was full of suspicions, but now that he is here, he will break through no matter what!
"Order, the fleet accelerates its advance, and strives to cross the Taiwan Strait in the shortest possible time and march northward!"
Bonella was afraid of a long night's sleep, and once again gave the order to go full speed.
The mixed fleet lined up and stormed the Taiwan Strait, and the big war could come as scheduled?
Who knows!
The fleet advanced rapidly, and in half a day, the mixed fleet advanced from the south of the strait to the northeast of the strait, and there was no trace of the Chinese fleet!
Bonella frowned and wiped it, what's going on? Lao Tzu's fleet has already rushed out of the Taiwan Strait, and further on, there is no danger, at least in the wide sea area, China's fleet is not the opponent of its own Asian fleet, not to mention that China's fleets even France, the United States, and Russia are not in the eyes of my Bonella, and the most troublesome thing now is that the other party's fleet has not appeared! There was no trace at all!
Bonella hesitated, nowhere to be found? There won't be any new changes, right?
However, now that the fleet has gradually sailed out of the strait, it is less than 2,000 kilometers away from the port of Tianjin, and in three days, it will be possible to reach Tianjin, and the rest will not be left behind, Tianjin, first arrive in Tianjin, and then the waterway will go hand in hand to cover the landing of reinforcements, then it will be done!
Now the entire fleet is floating on the sea, and with or without wireless telegraphy, even if the British Imperial fleet is powerful, it cannot get intelligence information in time, and Bonella has lost the initiative in requesting the report, and now he can only continue to move forward.
The mixed fleet continued to advance at full speed towards the north, near the Strait of Malacca, at this time, it was ushered in the murderous Shandong Naval Division, the Shandong Naval Division plus the provisional first division, after a five-day voyage, came to the east side of the Strait of Malacca, the distance from Singapore was less than 200 kilometers.
Two hundred kilometers, the battleship is moving at full speed, that is, in less than seven hours, it can be reached!
Ding Ruchang's face also became solemn at this time, and he shouted: "Order, all warships will enter a state of emergency combat readiness, press towards the west with all their might, and once the enemy situation is discovered, destroy the opponent on the spot!" Advance! ”
The sailors and soldiers who received the order all took action, one by one, they were full of spirits, waiting for the arrival of the big war, and in the sea breeze, there was a smell of slaughter!
