"Revenge!"

"Avenge the brothers who died in battle!"

“……”

The entire dock was full of the shouts of sailors, and it was already very clear that a few days ago, a large Japanese naval fleet came to Naha Naval Port, thousands of people, and the Japanese launched an attack on Naha Naval Port under the leadership of Shimazu Nobuyoshi.

Three hundred sailors and thousands of Japanese soldiers fought fiercely for a whole day, and in the end, they were outnumbered, ran out of ammunition, and almost all of them were killed.

However, everyone is also enough, and they are completely proud, because the Japanese paid the price of nearly a thousand people, and they also sank two Japanese warships by everyone.

Zhang Feng said loudly: "What about you Commander Wu? ”

"Lord Chief, Commander Wu is dead!"

Wu Junjie used to be the captain of the flagship, and when Zhang Feng left Naha, he appointed Wu Junjie as the commander of the Naha base, responsible for the construction of the Naha base.

Shimazu Nobuyoshi!

Satsuma Domain!

Zhang Feng gritted his teeth and said, then said loudly: "This revenge must be avenged!" ”

Suffering losses and not taking revenge, this is not Zhang Feng's character, although the other party is very strong, Zhang Feng still wants to take revenge, so Zhang Feng continued: "Commander-in-Chief Zhao, gather your troops, get ready, and set off towards Naha Port immediately!" ”

Zhao Weibin said loudly: "Yes!" Commander-in-Chief! ”

Soon, the entire Zhoushan military port was busy, and one by one the sea ships began to replenish, such as loading fresh water, coal, ammunition and so on.

At the same time, through careful questioning of the dozen or so sailors who returned, the situation became clearer and clearer, the opposing fleet had a total of more than 30 ships, large and small, of which the number of warships was 26, and the rest were auxiliary ships, such as transport ships, supply ships, and so on.

Thirty ships!

Thousands!

Zhang Feng gradually calmed down, the other party is much stronger than himself, and this battle will definitely not be easy. Zhao Weibin also realized the seriousness of the matter and couldn't help reminding.

"Lord Commander, the other party is not good at coming, and the good is not coming! There are more than 30 ships in total, and we currently have only 14 seagoing ships, and there are still six that have not returned from training at sea. ”

Zhang Feng naturally knew about this situation, there were originally sixteen sea ships, but one of the two 1,000 sea ships left in Naha was sunk, and the other came back, but it was seriously damaged and basically scrapped.

Zhang Feng pondered and thought for a while, "Commander-in-Chief Zhao, time is pressing, in this way, I will take the eight sea ships currently in Hong Kong to form the first fleet and set off first, you wait here for two days, and wait for the six sea ships we went to sea for training to come back, plus the two 2,000 sea ships that can be delivered by the Shanghai shipyard, and a total of eight sea ships will form the second fleet and set off two days later." ”

Zhao Weibin hurriedly said: "Lord Commander, this is not possible, the other party is more than 30 sea ships, we act in batches, the strength is weaker, in case of encountering the other party, the chance of winning is very small, so let's do it, I will lead the first fleet to set off first, and you will lead the second fleet to come over and make peace with me two days later." ”

Zhang Feng waved his hand without hesitation: "No, the matter is so decided, it cannot be changed!" ”

………

In the afternoon.

A fleet of eight steam-powered ships began to slowly leave the Zhoushan military port with a whistle, each ship full of sailors, because Zhang Feng also brought 600 marines with him.

Because there are only eight ships, otherwise, Zhang Feng will definitely bring more marines, marines equipped with muskets, if there is a naval battle, it is also a good force, at least everyone can shoot with muskets after the other ship is close, in addition, if they land in Naha, at least they can land and fight.

"Woo......"

The whistle sounded, the ship left the Zhoushan Military Port, and one of the 2,000 ships served as Zhang Feng's temporary flagship, in the command room of this temporary flagship, Zhang Feng looked at the sea in the distance, thinking about what might happen next.

After all, the other party's ships are several times more numerous, and Zhang Feng is not sure of victory, but these Japanese have bullied him, and Zhang Feng does not resist, this is not Zhang Feng's character.

A few days later.

After a long voyage, Naha Bay was already in sight, and standing in the command room, you could already faintly see the looming coastline.

Flagship Captain Wang Jinsheng is an old sailor, who has worked in the Navy for many years and has rich experience, and at this moment, he is standing next to Zhang Feng with a serious expression, holding a monocular and looking into the distance.

Wang Jinsheng knew that this trip to Naha would definitely not be easy, and in the past few days, Wang Jinsheng often made a cameo appearance as a lookout, personally holding a telescope and looking at the sea in the distance.

Now, approaching Naha Bay, Wang Jinsheng has been looking non-stop, and through the telescope, he can already see the huge Naha Bay in the distance.

"Lord, look, there are sea ships in Naha Bay!"

It's still a long way off, but with a monocular, you can already see some small black dots, which must be ships, and these ships are most likely Japanese ships.

………

East China Sea.

A fleet of eight seagoing vessels, consisting of four 2,000-material sea-going ships and four thousand-material-seagoing vessels, was sailing in formation, which was originally six seagoing vessels, and the two 2,000-material-seagoing ships newly delivered by the Shanghai Shipyard were quickly incorporated into the fleet, so that a total of eight seagoing ships were formed.

Among the commanders, Zhao Weibin was magically slightly anxious.

Under the leadership of Zhao Weibin, the fleet had already sailed from Zhoushan Military Port yesterday morning and had sailed for a day and a night.

Estimated from the time estimate, Zhao Weibin knew that at this time, the fleet led by the chief soldier should have arrived in Naha Bay, and he didn't know if there had been a naval battle.

In the event of a sea ship, the general army only has eight sea ships, and the other side has more than 30 sea ships of all sizes, and the number of warships has reached more than 20, and the strength of the two sides is not at the same level.

Thinking so in his heart, Zhao Weibin became even more anxious in his heart, and said loudly: "Pass my order and speed up!" ”

A sailor next to him couldn't help but remind: "Commander-in-chief, the fleet's speed has reached ten knots, and if we speed up any further, our ships will not be able to bear it." ”

Generally speaking, the speed of such an ocean-going voyage is about six or seven knots, or at most about eight knots, and now it has reached a speed of ten knots, which has exceeded the economic speed and belongs to high-speed sailing.

Zhao Weibin was worried about Zhang Feng's safety, so he didn't listen at all, and said loudly: "Speed up, speed up the voyage!" ”

The order was given, one by one the steam-powered ships began to be lifted, and the steam engines on board were put into full operation.

At this moment, Zhao Weibin's heart has flown to Naha, at this time, Zhao Weibin even blamed himself a little, why didn't he insist on it at the beginning, and insisted on taking the first fleet to set off first.

"Hey...... I hope the commander-in-chief is okay. Zhao Weibin knew that even if it had accelerated, it would take at least a day and a half to reach Naha.

At this moment, Zhang Feng's fleet was already approaching Naha Bay.

………

Hundreds of miles away from Zhao Weibin's location, Naha Bay.

Zhang Feng discovered the other party, and the other party obviously also discovered Zhang Feng's fleet, through the telescope, Zhang Feng could clearly see that the other party's ships were in formation, and then met him.

"Prepare for battle!"

Zhang Feng personally conveyed the battle order, everyone was in position, and the gunners loaded their ammunition, and the muzzles of their guns were aimed at the distance, ready to aim at the opponent's ships and open fire.

There was no doubt that those ships were Japanese ships, and they were all warships, and judging from the formation of the other side, it was clear that the other side was well-trained, far from being comparable to the Japanese pirates they encountered last time.

The Japanese pirates last time could only be regarded as a ragtag army, not even a ragtag army, and their combat effectiveness could only be regarded as third-rate, while the Japanese fleet on the opposite side was obviously a regular army, with a quick response, a scientific and reasonable formation, and was maintaining a battle formation to meet it.

This is indeed a regular army, the Japanese Satsuma Domain is a famous daimyo (feudal country) in Japan, although Japan's maritime strength is not very good, but the Satsuma Domain is relatively strong at sea, it is said that there are dozens of large and small warships, this time to Naha Bay, it is more than half of the warships dispatched in one go, and also brought transport ships, supply ships and other auxiliary ships, can be described as violent.

The Great War is imminent!

The distance between the two sides was also gradually approaching, Zhang Feng counted carefully, the other party had a total of eleven warships, not more than thirty ships, obviously, a large part of the other party's ships were not in Naha Bay.

Wang Jinsheng, who was standing behind Zhang Feng, breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "Haha, Lord Commander, they have eleven warships, not more than thirty. ”

For a long time, Wang Jinsheng has been tense and nervous, the other party has more than 30 sea ships, which makes Wang Jinsheng, who is proficient in naval warfare and has rich experience, very much pressure, but now it is different, although the other party is all warships, but there are only eleven.

Zhang Feng was holding a telescope, magical and still serious, without the slightest performance of underestimating the enemy, because the opponent had an advantage in numbers, and at a glance, he knew that the opponent was well-trained.

Zhang Feng said slowly: "Captain Wang, don't underestimate the enemy, you take a closer look at the other party's fleet, what is the difference between it and the group of pirates we met last time." ”

Hearing this, Wang Jinsheng looked carefully.

After looking at it for a while, Wang Jinsheng's expression gradually became solemn, and he said with a straight face: "Lord Commander, I was careless just now, after your reminder, after taking such a closer look, the other party is indeed obviously different from the group of pirates we encountered before. ”

This can't be blamed on Wang Jinsheng for almost making the mistake of underestimating the enemy just now, because in the past few days, Wang Jinsheng has been under a lot of pressure, and just now he suddenly saw that the opponent's ships were so many less, not more than 30 but 11.

While the pressure in his heart was greatly lightened, he ignored many problems while being happy, but fortunately, Zhang Feng was careful and saw that his opponent this time was very different from the pirates last time.

"Slow down, get ready for battle!"

"Attention, keep the battle formation, don't underestimate the enemy!"

As the order was issued, Zhang Feng's fleet of eight steam ships began to slow down to meet the enemy, and the distance between the two sides gradually approached......
