Saigo Takamori waved his hand to signal him to get up, then turned around and picked up a monocular to continue to observe the sea in the distance, and the embarrassed Yamamoto Gonbei had to stand aside in an orderly manner, and his heart was sad and bitter for a while, and now he completely knew what it meant to be "under the low eaves, and had to bow his head"!

"This is Second Lieutenant Oyama Yan." Seeing Yamamoto Gonbei's embarrassed look, Kirino Toshiaki took the initiative to step forward, pointing to the army officer who had been smiling all the time and introduced to Yamamoto Gonbei, which can be regarded as relieving Yamamoto Gonbei.

Big Mountain Rock?! Yamamoto Gonbei's eyes lit up, and a sentence was already blurted out: "Could it be that we are going to practice the formation of mine boats to sneak attack enemy ships now?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Oyama Iwa's eyes immediately widened, and Shinohara Kunikan, who was explaining something beside Saigo Takamori, also turned his head in surprise and looked straight at Yamamoto Gonbei, but Saigo Takamori and Kirino Toshiaki, who had already been surprised by Yamamoto Gonbei's shocking actions, looked as usual.

"I heard that Yamamoto-kun is very insightful about military affairs, and when I saw it today, I knew that it was really famous!" Oyama Iwa looked at Yamamoto Gonbei carefully with surprise before he spoke.

"Dashan-kun has a reputation!" Yamamoto Gonbei's face turned a rare red -- in fact, it was not difficult to guess from the arrival of Oyama Iwa that the subjects of the exercise were present -- this tactic was originally made by himself after many days of meditation, and Oyama Iwa had previously gone to various European countries to inspect military affairs and wrote back a number of reports, one of which was a very famous one on the French Navy's mine school, and as soon as these two points were combined, the conclusion would naturally come out.

"I don't know ......" Oyama Iwa was about to ask, but was interrupted by the loud shouts of Kirino Toshiaki on the side.

"It's coming! Here it comes! ”

Toshiaki Kirino pointed to the sea in the distance, and his voice revealed a strange emotion that seemed to be excited and depressed, and at the junction of the distant sea and sky, a few faint columns of smoke suddenly appeared-several pole mineboats converted from steam sampans!

This is the newly formed "Sea Surprise Team" of the Satsuma Domain!

Signal flags were constantly raised and lowered at the trusses of the foremast of the "Raiden Maru," and the simulated warship formation, which had been moving forward in a crack formation, also began to slowly adjust its course in accordance with the tactical requirements of a group of two ships, so as to orient the bow of the ship in the direction of the attack of the pole mineboats, so that the bomb area of each ship facing the pole minecraft could be reduced to a minimum, and it was also convenient for the ships to exert their forward firepower to intercept and shoot -- Shinohara Kunikan was now accompanying Saigo Takamori to watch the battle on the flybridge, and at this time he was commanding the "fleet" in the command tower under the flybridge to meet the battle. It's the captain of the ship, Hikono Uemura.

"Yamamoto-kun, give." Kirino Toshiaki quietly pulled Yamamoto to the wooden signal flag room at the back of the flybridge, and immediately handed him a beautifully shaped monocular.

"Thank you, General!" Gonbei Yamamoto took the binoculars and began to look in the direction of the attack of the pole mineboats—it was already night, and the field of vision was so dark that I could barely make out a few faint shadows under the rapidly moving pillars of smoke.

"The timing of the attack was quite good!" Yamamoto Gonbei praised loudly -- there is a waning moon in the sky tonight, but these pole mineboats happened to choose the direction of attacking with their backs to the moonlight, and from the "Raiden Maru" ship, at most, they could barely see a few small black shadows like Yamamoto Gonbei, but on those pole mineboats, they could see the "enemy ships" under the moonlight clearly.

"Oh, Yamamoto-kun thinks these mine boats can fight against the Qianguo fleet?" Kirino Toshiaki suddenly lowered his voice and asked.

"I'm afraid not necessarily!" Yamamoto Gonbei watched the exercise on the sea with all his attention, and the first pole mineboat had already reached a distance of only a few hundred meters from the "Raiden Maru" at high speed, so that Yamamoto Gonbei could finally vaguely recognize its outline - the slightly pointed bow and the long mine strut sticking out in front of the bow......

Yamamoto Gonbei looked hard at the large pole mineboat that had completed the simulated attack on the "Raiden Maru" and was detaching to the right at high speed, but he could only vaguely see the white spray plowing from the stern. And after it broke away with one blow, several pole mineboats followed one by one and launched a continuous thunderbolt attack on the "Thunderbolt Maru".

"Fast as thunder, fast as a galloping horse, there is really a momentum of lightning and thunder!" Kirino Toshiaki looked at the pole mineboats that had been rushing towards the "Thunderbolt Pill" one by one, and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's really a wonderful tactic!" ”

"yes, it does look beautiful!" Yamamoto looked at the formation of pole mineboats that were withdrawing from the battlefield one after another, and a sarcastic smile rose on the corner of his mouth - this is just a drill! And Toshiaki Kirino, who doesn't know much about the navy, hasn't been able to find out the problem!

The speed of these pole mineboats is not fast, and the target of the attack is also the slow-moving old warship "Raiden Maru"!

Yamamoto didn't notice the approving gaze cast by Oyama Yan, although his eyes were still looking at the sea in the distance, his thoughts had already flown thousands of miles away - this kind of tactics of ramming enemy ships with pole mineboats was far from being a successful tactic! Not to mention anything else, the fierce artillery fire fired by the enemy ship just before hitting the enemy ship was enough to turn the officers and men on the pole minecraft into out-and-out death squads during actual combat!

What's more, he also heard that the warships of the Qianguo fleet are running fast without exception! There is also a high-speed reconnaissance ship called "Sea Scud"!

Use these modified pole mineboats to sneak attack the Qianguo warships with high speed and powerful firepower, even if they can achieve one or two successes, the next thing waiting for these pole mineboats is the fate of destruction!

How can you increase your chances of success and the possibility of getting out of the way?

"The tactics are good, but even if you train with all your strength now, once the war breaks out, it may not be too late." Saigo Takamori, who had not spoken, put down the binoculars, sighed, and said.

Although he was watching the drill at night, Saigo Takamori was still wearing his favorite French sky blue military uniform, and after watching this fairly successful night raid drill, his face did not show the slightest joy.

"Mr. Nanzhou......" Oyama Yan looked at Saigo Takamori and asked hesitantly, "What do you think...... Such...... Isn't it possible? ”

"Even if you can sink one or two enemy ships, what good is it?" Saigo Takamori said in a deep voice, "Fighting against the Qianguo in this way is like being brutal back then, and there will be nothing else except to cause greater disasters." ”

Hearing Saigo Takamori talk about the Sa-British War that year, the faces of Yamamoto Gonbei and Oyama Iwa and others all became gloomy.
