Chapter 284: "Strange Soldiers! Charge! ”
Under the fierce salvo of fire from the first side of the "Mt. Fuji", the "Asama" ignited a fire in a short time, but the government sailors on the ship also showed great tenacity, and did not even have the slightest intention of retreating.
Soon, a 75-mm shell hit the port side of the "Mt. Fuji", pierced the hull plate and exploded, killing two Satsuma sailors on the spot, and the pieces of wood with fire were swept up on the flybridge by the air wave and fell to Lin Yiqing's side, but Lin Yiqing seemed to turn a blind eye and watched the battle with a calm expression.
The "Asama" soon showed its inability under the heavy fire of the "Mt. Fuji", and at this time, the "Tokiwa" saw that the "Asama" was in critical condition and rushed to the rescue. It rushed all the way to the other side of the "Mt. Fuji" and fired at the "Mt. Fuji".
Under the orders of Heihachiro Togo, the "Mt. Fuji" fired at the "Asama" with its 120-mm main guns in the bow and two 75-mm guns on the port side, and at the "Tokiwa" with its 120-mm main guns in the stern and two 75-mm guns on the starboard side.
The two sides fired fiercely at each other for about 10 minutes, and the starboard gun emplacements of the "Asama" were all destroyed, a fire also broke out on the ship, and loopholes appeared on the right side of the hull.
Heihachiro Togo noticed that the "Asama" was seriously injured and fled, but at this time, the "Mt. Fuji" was fighting fiercely with the "Tokiwa", and there was no time to pursue, and seeing the "Asama" dragging the billowing smoke into the distance, Togo Heihachiro couldn't help but sigh.
He now regretted that he had just ordered the "Denamaru" to attack the troop carrier.
After the "Asama" fled, the "Mt. Fuji" turned the bow main gun to the "Tokiwa" and fired fiercely, and under the shelling of the "Mt. Fuji", the "Tokiwa" was shot one after another, but it still struggled to resist.
"Dongxiang-kun, do you want to change your tactics?" Lin Yiqing looked at the warship in front of him, which was nearly one-third larger than the "Mount Fuji", and suddenly asked.
"A different way of fighting?" Heihachiro Togo was stunned.
"It's a pity that such a large warship is sunk, our army just lacks ships, so it's better to capture it." Lin Yiqing smiled and said.
Heihachiro Togo immediately understood: "Lin Jun wants to send the 'Sea Surprise Team' to capture the enemy ship?" ”
Lin Yiqing smiled and nodded: "I'll lead the team to jump to capture the ship, and then Dongxiang-kun can go after the fleeing enemy ship." ”
Togo Heihachiro listened to Lin Yiqing's words with a reminder, and immediately looked at the sea around him, and then he realized that not only did the "Asama" escape, but the three small gunboats of the government army also left the battlefield and fled into the distance.
"Good!" Heihachiro Togo, who studied in the United Kingdom, was no stranger to the gang fighting, and he observed the battle situation, and after seeing that the artillery fire of the "Joban" was already half dumb, he decisively agreed.
Heihachiro Togo ordered the "Mt. Fuji" to approach the enemy ship, and ordered the gunners to suppress the deck of the enemy ship with machine gun fire in preparation for the gang jumping operation, while Lin Yiqing walked quickly off the flybridge and got into the cabin.
When Lin Yiqing appeared on the deck with a group of cadets of the Naval Academy armed with rifles and katanas, the "Tokiwa" seemed to have sensed the "Mt. Fuji's" attempt and wanted to turn away from the battlefield, but the faster "Mt. Fuji" accelerated and approached.
At this time, under the fierce attack of the 75-mm guns of the "Mt. Fuji" and the machine guns of the "Tsukikas", the last two gun positions of the "Tokiwa" were also dumb fired, and under the rain of bullets and fires of the Habekais machine guns, the deck personnel of the "Tokiwa" suffered heavy casualties, and some government gunners launched the Noudianfeld machine guns equipped on the ship to counterattack, and once hit the "Mt. Fuji", but its rate of fire and firepower were too far apart, and it soon collapsed under the fierce fire of the Haqikes machine guns of the "Mt. Fuji".
In a short time, the deck of the "Tokiwa" was covered with bloody corpses, and because they could not withstand such a terrible blow, most of the surviving government gunners and sailors took refuge in the cabin.
The ships of the two sides got closer and closer, and Lin Yiqing, who was lying on the deck, observed the situation and waved his hand, and the Satsuma Navy's cadets put iron claws on their hands one after another.
Seeing the strangely shaped iron claws on the hands of the students, Togo Heihachiro was amazed, and then he understood that everything was in Lin Yiqing's calculations.
When the sides of the ships on both sides suddenly approached the distance where they could jump, Lin Yiqing gave an order: "Strange team!" Charge! One by one, the Satsuma cadets rose up and jumped towards the "Tokiwa".
At that time, the first few cadets all successfully jumped onto the deck of the "Tokiwa", and at this time, the waves were surging, and the distance between the sides of the two ships suddenly widened, and several Satsuma naval cadets who had already jumped up were in the air, and they could no longer jump onto the "Tokiwa", but ran straight into the hull of the "Tokiwa".
Seeing this scene, Togo Heihachiro's eyes widened, and he was so nervous that he held his breath.
But a scene that surprised him immediately appeared, the moment these students hit the hull plate of the "Tokiwa", their arms were stretched out, and they rushed forward, and the whole person was instantly attached to the hull plate like a gecko!
Several trainees waved their arms vigorously, hooked the hull plate with the iron claws in their hands, and began to climb upward. They moved with great skill, and in a short time climbed up the hull to the gang and turned onto the deck.
When he saw Lin Yiqing jumping onto the deck of the "Tsukiban", Heihachiro Togo couldn't help but let out a long breath.
With the sound of tuk-tuk on the ground, one after another sturdy figures landed on the deck of the "Tokiwa", and as soon as they stood firm on the deck, they immediately raised their pistols and long knives in their hands.
In order to prevent accidental injury to its own people, the "Mt. Fuji" stopped shelling, and after hearing the sound of the cannonball, the government sailors on the "Tokiwa" rushed out of the cabin with rifles that had already been loaded with bayonets, but before they could find their target, the guns in the hands of the Satsuma cadets had already sounded.
Several government sailors who rushed to the front screamed and fell, and those behind were about to open fire, when the Satsuma cadets had already pounced.
