Chapter 165: The Advent of the Navy (Part II)

Li Zhongju watched Li Xiang shoot and immediately knocked out the two battleships of the British army, this gain is not small, you must know that they are two battleships, the battleships of this era are equivalent to the level of aircraft carrier bosses that appeared later, it is really not easy to sink one, but it seems to be very simple in front of Li Xiang.

Li Zhongju secretly sighed that Li Xiang deserved to come out of the battleship system, but this kind of command and insight in naval warfare was not comparable to ordinary people. Li Zhongju was very excited, when the battleship system was upgraded to the third level, he rewarded himself with such two such outstanding talents.

Compared to Li Zhongju's excitement, Tan Sitong was dumbfounded, it took a long time for their 101st Regiment to take down an ironclad ship of the British army. And the fact that the Navy immediately destroyed two British battleships as soon as it made a move is not shocking.

What was even more shocked was still to come, and then Tan Sitong found that the warships of Li Xiang's fleet began to change, forming six squads to attack the British warships, and this time their target became an ironclad ship.

Almost every minute passed, one or two ironclad ships or cruisers, or even battleships of the British army were sunk by Li Xiang's navy.

Gesen watched all this dumbfounded, he already deeply understood that this matter was no longer something he could handle, and General Frye must be invited out and let him deal with it, otherwise the British Empire's Invincible Armada would probably end up in Hong Kong.

As soon as he arrived at the commander-in-chief's room, he found Lieutenant General Frye standing quietly under the front observation tower, looking at the battlefield in the distance with his Erie telescope.

In fact, Frye had been awakened by the artillery fire of Li Xiang's fleet five minutes earlier, and he immediately realized that this was a fleet with very strong firepower, attacking his own fleet. Frye immediately ran here and looked closely, and he found that the opponent's battleship was not inferior to the "Lunge" battleship he was in.

Frye took a deep breath to calm his mind, but he immediately realized that "Tyson" II and "Annie" III had been destroyed by the China, and it was only half an hour before they sank completely. Then it was up to Gerson to prepare for the rescue, but it didn't work.

Frye's face was pale, and his mood was extremely impatient, who can tell me, why did the people of China have such a powerful navy, could it be that Li Zhongju made it.

Although he was extremely shocked and amazed in his heart, the most important thing for Frye at this time was to command the fleet to fight against the fleet of the Chinese people, but fortunately, the Chinese only had six battleships, but the second himself had twenty-three battleships, which could completely crush the Chinese in terms of numbers.

Frye immediately ordered all the battleships to move eastward, because the howitzers fired by Tan Sitong and the battery were already very scarce at this time, so the judgment given to Frye was that the battery of the people of China had been destroyed by his own fleet. Then then, you need to deal with this proud fleet of the people with all your might.

With Frye's order, all the ships of the British fleet began to turn around and prepare to move to the right (i.e., east), and they were all firmly carrying out Vice Admiral Fry's orders.

At this time, Gerson also quietly appeared by Frye's side, staring closely at what Frye would do, how to arrange, or what tasks he gave himself, and what he needed to help complete.

The artillery bombardment continued, and the two sides had already started a desperate battle, today it is either you die or I die, Li Zhongju saw this, and his heart was suddenly shocked, he knew the plan of the other party's commander, this is the preparation to completely eat Li Xiang's fleet.

However, they still thought too simply, and it can even be said that they thought too much about Li Xiang and the actual control of each battleship, thinking that it was just Li Zhongju's temporary luck to get such an excellent battleship, and they would not think about anything else.

In this way, the British army is destined to suffer a big loss, and this kind of big loss cannot save the situation after suffering once, then only death and destruction await them.

Li Xiang watched the movements of the British fleet, but he was not afraid at all, he still gave the same order, all the troops took the battleships as the core, accurately hit the enemy battleships, and all the other battleships assisted, and they must not attack the rest of the battleships privately.

The soldiers of Li Xiang's battleship will not be afraid, because the officers will never be afraid, how can the soldiers scare themselves, they are all very powerful warriors, real warriors dare to face the bleak life, not to mention winning glory for the country, and even sacrificing for the country, there is nothing to fear.

The mentality is good, everything is fine, and no one can stop the speed of Li Xiang's fleet attack. Over time, almost fifteen more British ironclad ships and three battleships were sunk by Li Xiang's fleet.

This sinking speed is definitely something that no one in the British army has any idea of.

Many British soldiers had already begun to run around on the battleships and ironclads that were about to be submerged in the sea, and some of them even cried loudly, which made people feel a little distressed. But Li Xiang and the soldiers of Li Xiang's fleet would not sympathize with them.

Li Zhongju quietly observed all this with a telescope, his heart was full of excitement, and Li Zhongju was even more satisfied when he saw that Li Xiang's fleet had achieved remarkable results.

Tan Sitong and the soldiers of the 101st Regiment had already begun to rest ten minutes earlier, but they were also always paying attention to this naval battle, after all, they knew what the outcome of this naval battle represented.

Li Zhongju ordered Sun Lin to immediately attack the British fleet with that small detachment, and Li Zhongju believed that Sun Lin's small detachment could pose some threat to the British warships.

After Sun Lin received the order, he was very excited, he and his brothers on the battleship were already impatient, ready to rush to the battlefield at any time to kill a few British battleships, but without a military order, how could they attack?

Now that the commander's military order came, they all cheered and jumped up, and immediately sailed towards the British fleet with full confidence, what kind of spirit is this, four warships dare to sail towards the enemy's fleet of hundreds of warships, this is a fearless spirit of sacrifice, this is the first reaction of people.

But is this really the case, Li Zhongju is not that kind of person, and Sun Lin will not be without brains, because if he talks about doing this at this time, he will sail to the rear of the British fleet.

As the British fleet commanded by Frye all turned around and headed east, the pressure on Li Xiang gradually increased for a while. Over time, Li Xiang's fleet already had problems with several ironclad ships and one battleship.

Tan Sitong's heart had already risen to his throat, and looking at that look, he was obviously extremely anxious. (To be continued.) )
