Under the dense and frenzied blows of Shimose gunpowder shells, "Ningyuan" burst into flames several times, and the officers and men on the ship continued to shoot while fighting the fire, without showing the slightest timidity. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info 'Ningyuan' deck part of the fire, the flames were raging, almost the whole ship was burned, the generals gathered soldiers to put out the fire, although the projectiles were like rain, they were still gladly engaged, and resolutely extinguished the fire in the nine lives of the ......" ("History of the Japanese Dry War"), the Japanese naval officers and men of the First Guerrilla Group were completely shocked by the scene in front of them, this Qianguo ironclad ship was almost all covered with bruises, but none of the bullet marks could be more than 4 inches deep, in addition to constantly making it ignite the fire, the thick armor of the "Ningyuan", the 4 ships of the First Guerrilla Force were helpless, After all, "Ning Yuan" is a powerful German-made shore defense ironclad ship, although her artillery configuration is a little outdated, but its protection is extremely powerful. After half an hour of repeated shelling, the officers and men of the Japanese Navy, who originally thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, found that they had not been able to inflict much damage on the "Ningyuan," and that the ironclad ship did not show the slightest timidity in the rain of bullets, and still had a fearless attitude of accompanying them to the end.

At this time, another smoot appeared in the distance, and Pingjing Hangzo judged that "Jiyuan" was returning to the battlefield after extinguishing the fire, and in the artillery battle just now, the 4th ship of the First Guerrilla Force was also hit by the 140-mm secondary guns and 75-mm rapid-fire guns of "Ningyuan" many times, and the starboard side was damaged to varying degrees, and the firepower gradually decreased. Give up the attack on "Ningyuan" and withdraw from the battlefield.

After the first guerrilla group was assembled, it did not meet with the other team, and withdrew from the battlefield at high speed on his own, at this moment, he would not think about what kind of impact his retreat would have on him, and what kind of things the four captains under his command would do to him.

Soon after the retreat of the First Guerrilla Force, this unit also began to flee for its life under the cover of gunpowder smoke on the battlefield; because it was discovered that not all the ironclad ships of the Japanese Navy had been dispatched, and fearing that the landing force would be attacked by another Japanese fleet, Ding Yuting, the admiral of the Qianguo Navy, ordered the detachment to return to sail and gave up the pursuit of the Japanese ships. This was the end of the nearly three-hour sea battle.

The Qianguo fleet returned to the mouth of the Great Eastern Ditch. What Ding Yuting feared did not happen, and the fleet did not find any trace of Japanese warships in the waters near Dadonggou, and then the main force of the fleet joined up with the mosquito ships and torpedo boats such as "Zhendong" who were responsible for guarding the mouth in Dadong Port, and after the landing of the army, they returned to Lushun together.

At about 16 o'clock, the Japanese No. 1 guerrilla group met up with the warships of this group, and at 15:50 p.m., the "Saikyo Maru," which had withdrawn from the battle, had also been found and returned to the squadron by itself, which made the Japanese fleet worried, and the "Saikyo Maru," which had been sunk, was already on its way back to the temporary anchorage, and as early as 14:40, the "Saikyo Maru," which had withdrawn from the battlefield because of heavy injuries, met the main unit, and Inoue Yoshishin ordered the small armored cruiser "Chiyoda," which had been lightly wounded, to accompany the "Saikyo Maru" to return first. At this point, the Japanese Combined Fleet was the first to withdraw from the battle, and in this naval battle, the Japanese Navy's "Akagi" ship was destroyed and sunk, and the "Matsushima" ship ran aground on the beach of Okashima after being seriously wounded, and was later destroyed by the "Jiyuan" warship of the Qianguo country, and 42 remaining officers and men on the ship fled to the island and were taken prisoner, and the four ships "Yamashiro," "Fuso," "Itsukushima," and "Hashidate" suffered heavy losses, with 963 officers and men killed (not including those who died after being wounded) and 308 wounded.

At 8 p.m., after confirming that the surroundings were safe, Ito Yuhiro led Chief of Staff Naval Osa Samejima Toki, Staff Officer Captain Shimamura Suo and other staff members to board the "Chiyoda" ship on a mobile sampan, and the "Chiyoda" replaced the "Yamashiro" as the flagship.

As if to find a way for himself to escape from the battlefield in embarrassment, after 20 o'clock, Ito ordered the combined fleet to rendezvous with all the torpedo boats and turn to the direction of Weihai, claiming that he would destroy the ships of the Qianguo Fleet that had been "badly damaged" in one fell swoop at dawn the next day. However, this seemingly brave and fearless strategy is actually just a pretentious gesture by Ito Youheng, and anyone with a little common sense will inevitably understand that the Qianguo Fleet, which had just experienced a major war, must have returned to the maintenance base Lushun first to repair and replenish, and the Combined Fleet pursued it in Weihai, the garrison base, rather than a clever strategy to avoid war. Soon after leaving the temporary anchorage, Ito ordered the entire fleet to sail to Kure Harbor, and because of the severe damage, the morale of the Japanese naval officers and men was also extremely low, and the Japanese warships that had been lucky enough not to be sunk, including the 4th ship of the 1st Guerrilla Force, had no strength to fight again.

Compared with the heavy casualties of the Japanese Combined Fleet, the losses of the Qianguo Fleet were obviously much lighter. In this battle, the Qianguo fleet did not lose a single ship, and four ships, including "Dingyuan," "Ningyuan," "Jiyuan," and "Jianzhong," were slightly damaged, and a total of 65 officers and men of the Qianguo Navy were killed and 22 wounded.

Because the purpose of the Qianguo fleet's trip was to escort troop carriers, the fact that the Ming army was able to land in all of them was no small feat," ...... The warboard battled, the ship was extremely dangerous, but fortunately, the ship was damaged a lot, and it was retreated for repair, and the Ming army was able to take advantage of the shore to get ashore. Except for the fact that they had confirmed that they had sunk a gunboat called "Akagi," the Japanese naval officers and men of the Qianguo Navy did not notice the Japanese ship "Matsushima," which was seriously injured and ran aground, and it was only three days later that Ding Yuting learned the news and hurriedly ordered "Jiyuan" to go to check and capture it; when "Jiyuan" arrived, he found that "Matsushima" had already been set on fire by Japanese sailors, and that "all the undestroyed and large and small guns on the ship were destroyed." The officers and men of the Japanese Navy on board had already landed on the island and taken refuge in the mountains, and "Jiyuan" fired cannons to bombard "Matsushima."...... Sent marines ashore to capture the Japanese troops, and with the help of the island's residents, captured all 42 remaining officers and men of the "Songdao" ship and escorted them to Lushun.

The Battle of Dadonggou in the Yellow Sea was a naval battle of unprecedented scale after the world's navy entered the era of steel steaming, and it profoundly affected the direction of the development of the world's navy. The victory of the Qianguo Fleet over the Japanese Combined Fleet was not simply a victory or defeat between the navies of the two countries, but meant the rise of the new naval tactics in the form of column formations and warships equipped with a large number of small and medium-caliber rapid-fire guns. tactics that are still valued by the world's navies", and column tactics are still just a new theory that has not been tested in actual combat. From March 17, 9097, the Qianguo Navy realized the shortcomings of horizontal tactics and wasted a lot of sideboard firepower, so it began to study and develop column tactics, and a new page was opened in the history of the world's navies.

Three days later, Port Arthur.

The moon was like water, sparkling waves flashed on the surface of the Yellow Sea, and warships were quietly moored at anchors.

On the "Dingyuan" ship, Ding Yuting was writing a detailed report on the naval battle. On the day after the war, he sent a telegram to his old boss Li Shaoquan: "On the 17th of this month, outside Dadonggou, a war with the Japanese was started at 12 o'clock, and the war was suspended at 3:30, and the Japanese army fled first. The guns of the Japanese ships were also fast and numerous. During the battle, he was attacked by our ships, or struck by lightning, and his fire was sunk, but it was destroyed by the artillery, and the torpedoes cast by the mineship seemed to be missed, and he fled after being heavily injured by our troops, and a large clipper ship was about to sink by artillery bombardment, and ran aground on the beach on Oshikashima, and has now sent 'Jiyuan' to check and capture. The casualties of our ships and the severity of the injuries of each ship were quickly checked and recalled. ”

The news of the destruction of the two Japanese warships did not make Ding Yuting feel much excitement, he was familiar with the path of the Qinglius, and in the eyes of the Qinglius, this was probably just a "insignificant" small victory like the Battle of Toshima, and the failure to completely annihilate the Japanese warships after suffering heavy losses may be a new charge for impeaching him, the admiral. But now he didn't care about the future of the Qinglius, he just wanted to write his naval battle report in detail, summarize the lessons of blood, and prepare for the next battle.

Through today's contact with the main force of the Japanese Navy, he has a deeper understanding of naval warfare and more confidence in defeating the enemy.

"Military Gate, Beijing Secret Electricity." An officer's voice came from the doorway.

Seeing a special telegraph in the officer's hand, Ding Yuting couldn't help but be shocked.

Of course, he knew where the telegram came from.

Ding Yuting took the telegram, and his fingers trembled involuntarily.

He carefully opened the telegram and saw such a small line on it: "The knighthood has woken up, and the public can perform his duties with peace of mind." Saliva. ”

Seeing this news, Ding Yuting was overjoyed for a while, and almost couldn't believe his eyes.

Of course, he knew who the signature of this "Jin" was referring to.

He carefully read the telegram word by word, made sure that he was not mistaken, and relieved himself, he then looked at the date on the telegram, and found that the telegram was sent on the day of the Battle of Dadonggou.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yiqing woke up on the day of the victory in the Battle of Dadonggou!

Maybe it's the providence of heaven in the dark! Ding Yuting thought to himself, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist.

In the Yamen, the governor of Tianjin Zhili, Li Shaoquan had just discussed with his subordinates about continuing to send reinforcements to Korea, and now he was reviewing a telegram that was about to be sent to the premier's yamen. Tomorrow I will still return to the big wheel of cooking clouds. Continue. ”

Under the same starry sky, in a magnificent mansion in Dongdan Ertiao Hutong in Beijing, Weng Shuping, Minister of Military Aircraft, was routinely writing today's diary: "Go up to the study and look at three o'clock yesterday. As soon as the electricity was engraved, Yuanshan could not be defended, and the cloud enemy set up cannons in the high mountains, and the people and horses were eroded. Turn to the pivot and will look at the event. Bao Shen (Minister of Military Aircraft Qian Yingpu) protested, saying that Hefei (Li Shaoquan) had intentions, and Nanpi (Minister of Military Aircraft Zhang Zhiwan) argued, and others did not say so. In the meantime, he said, 'Be cautious and upright, Hefei is backward in everything, and it cannot be said that it is not a mistake'. It is decided that there are two layers: one is strictly discussed, the other is to go to Huang Yue Baixuan, and the gold armor is depleted, waiting for the decision, and writing a recital. Send an order to Ye Zhichao, order and Yuan Weiting to attack back and forth, and dredge the back road. Mingfa reprimanded Li Shaoquan twice. ”
