Li Zhongju and Tan Sitong came to the Hong Kong Fort position, Li Zhongju looked at this fort, and was very satisfied, and sure enough, Tan Sitong was very satisfied, without the slightest mistake. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The howitzers are staggered and classified, and the classification is very accurate. The whole turret has a very powerful feeling, and one can't help but want to praise it.

Li Zhongju said with a smile, "Resurrection, it's really yours, the fort is built so perfectly." Such a battery, as long as the British fleet entered the firing range, the ordinary warships of the British army could not withstand the shelling at all. ”

Li Zhongju then asked, "Resurrection, how is the shooting level of the soldiers, and what is the hit rate?" ”

Tan Sitong said without hesitation, "Commander, the hit rate of the gunners of the 101st Regiment is between 60 and 80 percent. However, the shooting skills of all soldiers are constantly improving. ”

Li Zhongju said with a smile, "There is no need to mind resurrection, the gunners have a 60 percent hit rate, if they are allowed to shoot moving objects, it is estimated that they can have a hit rate of more than 8 percent, and if the distance is closer, there should be a hit rate of more than 15 percent." ”

Tan Si was suddenly startled in his heart, "Commander, is this because the shooting rate of the shooters is too low, less than ten percent." ”

Li Zhongju said lightly, "Don't worry about resurrection, although it's only eight percent, but if you want to shoot a total of more than three hundred artillery pieces together, if you're lucky, you can hit at least thirty or forty shells, and even if you're unlucky, you'll hit more than a dozen shells." In other words, a single shot will almost hit several enemy warships, and even if it hits a vital part, it will not directly destroy a battleship. ”

Tan Si also thought about it, if his own hit rate was really too high and exaggerated, then it would be a devastating blow to the British warship, which would be too incredible.

Tan Sitong accepted this fact, and at the same time, he was vaguely looking forward to how many warships his 101st Regiment would sink this time.

Later, Li Zhongju asked people to send a report to the naval base five kilometers away, that is, the navy under the command of Li Xiang, telling Li Xiang that he must actively prepare, and at the same time, the naval soldiers must also adjust their mentality and not be stage frightened on the battlefield.

After Li Xiang received the information, of course he knew that Commander Li Zhongju was worried, in fact, Li Zhongju had already told himself a few days ago about this problem, so that he should always pay attention and teach the soldiers at all times.

On February 15, 1889, Li Zhongju received news in Hong Kong that a small detachment of British warships led by Sun Lin had successfully lured the enemy into the Wanshan Islands. Then Li Zhongju ordered Sun Lin to report the news to himself, Li Shen and Li Xiang at all times, and he must not carry the slightest thing.

After Sun Lin received the news, of course he knew what to do, and at the same time, Sun Lin's heart was full of excitement, this time he was the liaison of the three parties, as long as he could successfully complete the task, then it would be very useful for himself and the soldiers, and even the balance of victory and defeat in this war.

At the same time, Li Zhongju ordered Sun Lin to finally lead the British fleet in the direction of Hong Kong, because the Hong Kong batteries and Li Xiang's navy were both in Hong Kong.

"Wanshan Islands, located directly south of the Pearl River estuary, are the only places where Guangzhou's sea route passes. Originally referring to the Wanshan Islands, the scope has changed several times, and it was once the general name of more than 100 islands outside the Lingding Ocean. Later, it refers to the eastern part of the Pearl River Estuary, east of the Great West Waterway, Hong Kong Lantau Island (Dahao Island), Sokwu Islands, and islands and reefs south of the Po Toi Islands, including the Dangan Islands, Jiapeng Islands, Sanmen Islands, Aizhou Islands, Spider Islands, Wanshan Islands, Wailingding Islands, Guishan Islands, etc., a total of 76 large and small islands, with a scattered area of 2,600 square kilometers and a total island area of 80.582 square kilometers. ”

In the Wanshan Islands, there are many islands, the terrain is precipitous, and there are many reefs in the Wanshan Islands, and ships who are not familiar with the terrain may touch the reefs or be dizzy and overwhelmed by the terrain of the Wanshan Islands.

Of course, for the British, none of this was a problem, because they had a special road map in the Wanshan Islands, and as long as they followed the road map, there were few accidents.

At this time, Frye was very excited, because he had already learned that in half a day, they would arrive in Hong Kong, which was the land where they used to make money.

Not only Frye, but many British officers and soldiers all shouted excitedly, because they knew that this time they were not far from their destination, and they were very close. In addition to the necessary pilots, many British soldiers all went to the deck and cheered, hugging each other, giving each other the best hugs and compliments.

Gesen also came to the deck, and most of the officers on the command ship gathered around him, and from their eyes, it could be seen that everyone was extremely relaxed at this time, without the slightest heaviness.

A colonel said with a smile, "We have been watching the sea for a few months, and it is estimated that we will not need to look at the sea tonight, we can go to Hong Kong to have a good time and relax." Although I have never been to Hong Kong, I have always been looking forward to the scenery there, Hong Kong is a beautiful place, and I heard that people who come back from Hong Kong have made a lot of money. We can also make a good profit. ”

The rest of the people laughed, and a colonel continued, "Well, everyone else can make money, why can't we make money, rest assured that there is a place for us to make money when we arrive in Hong Kong this time." ”

Major General Gesen listened to everyone's language and didn't care, after all, this is normal, Gesen is an amiable general who has no temper, and many officers also like to joke with Gesen.

After listening to everyone for a while, Gesen said, "Everyone's idea is good, we enter the realm of the Chinese people, then everything about them is ours, for the Eastern Chinese people, this time everyone must not be soft, as many guns as possible." Especially for Hong Kong and Guangzhou, and even Xiamen, Fuzhou, and other places, our Buddha must plunder on a large scale, and must not give the people of China the slightest illusion. ”

Gesen is actually selfish, you must know that Hong Kong Governor Green is Gesen's younger brother, what all this means, I believe many people understand. The officers next to him also understood what Gesen meant, and they all understood Gesen's feelings.

Gerson finally looked at the expressions of the people, and his heart was very satisfied, he knew that these people already understood what they meant.

Unconsciously, the vanguard of the British fleet was less than five kilometers inland from Hong Kong, and Sun Lin led the small detachment to disappear in front of the British fleet. (To be continued.) )
