A group of sailor generals are methodically preparing for the battle.

Most of the middle and high-ranking generals of the Beiyang Naval Division have received relatively formal and good militarized training and theoretical knowledge. It is clear that this war with the Japanese is a war that will determine the future fortunes of the country!

And the battle of the Yellow Sea, as the first duel, is even more important.

Sun Desheng is the "No. 3 person" on the Zhiyuan ship, except for Guo Dayong, the pipe band, and Liu Yu, the deputy pipe band, and he also has a lot of prestige among the officers and men of the naval division.

Now, he is in the cabin of the ship to make the final confirmation of the ship's guns, ammunition, energy, etc.

Suddenly, a herald ran over and saluted Sun Desheng: "Lord Sun, Deputy Guan Liu said that Guo Guan will bring everyone to the captain's room for a gathering!" ”

Well?

Sun Desheng's eyebrows furrowed, revealing a puzzled expression.

It stands to reason that now the two armies are facing each other, and a big war is about to break out!

Guo Dayong, as a pipe band, insisted on staying in the captain's room There is no big problem. It's a little weird to suddenly summon the others to go to the captain's room. Abnormal.

But he didn't think much about it, just because Guo Dayong attached too much importance to this battle with the Japanese people in the Yellow Sea. I need to explain what else I need quickly.

"Okay, I'll go!"

With that, he followed the herald to the captain's room......

One after another, more and more middle and high-level generals of the Zhiyuan ship were almost concentrated in the captain's room.

The strange thing is that only the deputy pipe took Liu Yu to sit on a chair, but he didn't see Guo Dayong!

The room was full of eighteen people. This is the core high-level command of the entire Zhiyuan ship.

I don't know why, a trace of inexplicable gloom flashed in Sun Desheng's heart. He frowned and looked at Liu Yu: "Deputy Liu, what about Guo?" In what place. The great war is about to begin, what is the order to bring us here? ”

Liu Yu sat there expressionless.

Next to him was a man named Liu Feng, who was also a general of the water division. It's just that the position is low, and I don't seem to have heard of any intersection with Liu Yu on weekdays, so sitting next to him is a little intimate at this time.

The other generals thought it was very strange......

Liu Yu let out a long breath and seemed to open his mouth to say something. Everyone's attention was drawn to him.

But at this time, Liu Yu suddenly broke out!

The hands that were placed behind him suddenly raised to his chest, and they were two short firearms!

Then aimed at Sun Desheng and another general of the Zhiyuan Ship Naval Division, and shot twice.

In the smoke of gunpowder, the projectile hit the center of the eyebrows. Hit it into the skull hard, and he was already dead in an instant!

Sun Desheng's eyes widened angrily, with complex emotions such as panic, anger, and disbelief in his eyes, and he wanted to speak, but he felt that his consciousness was quickly blurred. In the end, his eyes went dark and he fell to the ground and died.

Because it all happened so quickly that the others didn't even have time to react!

Liu Feng, who was next to Liu Yu, almost at the same time, also took out two short firearms and fired left and right. Hit the foreheads of the other two sailor generals, and also killed with one shot.

Liu Yu and Liu Feng are well-known sharpshooters in the informal training and competition occasions of the Beiyang Naval Division. Guo Dayong also once said that if the naval battle is fierce, the generals will eventually go to the field for broadside battles and hand-to-hand combat. Hopefully they can make a big difference.

But I'm afraid he won't be able to imagine that these two young people who he values a lot are actually elite children of the Japanese Kingdom who were sent to China through the "Rising Sun Project" more than ten years ago!

The other naval generals on the Zhiyuan ship also couldn't imagine that before the battle with the Japanese naval fleet, their own people began to massacre!

In an instant, four people died.

waited until the eighteen people in the room became fourteen (including Liu Yu and Liu Feng......

And when the generals of this group of Beiyang Naval Divisions really came to their senses, four more generals were shot by Liu Yu and Liu Feng!

At this time, the remaining eight real Beiyang Naval Division generals took refuge one after another.

As smart as they are, they already understand at this time that I am afraid that these two guys have been bought by the Japanese people. It's a complete spy!

However, as long as they can escape from the captain's room smoothly, they will still have a chance to control the Zhiyuan ship. Meet the upcoming big battle!

The muskets of this era, of course, are no more modern than those of later generations.

Liu Yu and Liu Feng fired four shots respectively, which can be regarded as a musket instrument like "black technology" in this era. Now the barrel is also hot, and it is completely unusable.

Bang dang.

The guns were dropped on the floor, and the two of them just looked coldly at the remaining eight Beiyang Navy generals who were frantically preparing to open the door and escape.

"Open the door, open the door! Help, there are spies here! ”

"Guards! Are there any guards? Liu Yu and Liu Feng are both spies, hurry up and shoot them to death. ”

Even the generals with excellent psychological quality will inevitably panic at this time, and slam the door of the captain's room that is closed.

Bang!!!

The door was opened from the outside.

Seven or eight sailor soldiers dressed as men were in the corridor outside, muskets in their hands.

They still know the leader of the leader, and vaguely remember that it seems to be Zhang Meng. He is a grassroots general with more than 20 soldiers under his hands.

"Finally saved!"

The surviving generals of the Zhiyuan ship had a feeling of the rest of their lives, and even grabbed Zhang Meng's hand.

"Sergeant Zhang, hurry up and kill those two guys! They are not real Beiyang naval generals, but spies who have been bought by the Japanese people. The war is coming, and if you are not careful, you will really fall for the tricks of the Japanese country! ”

If you want to fight a tough battle, there is a real fleet naval battle of life and death. Even if you die, you have no regrets.

But now it's inexplicable, what's going on!

But what the remaining eight sailor generals couldn't have imagined was that this fierce face was full of smiles and gently patted the hand of a frightened sailor general. And then......

With great speed, he drew a sharp dagger and stabbed him in the heart with a single blow!!

Blood spurted out, splattering Zhang Meng's head and face. Make his smile look like the most terrifying demon at this moment.

He sneered: "Spy? What a spy. The elite of my Great Sun Empire has been lurking with you for more than ten years, or even longer, isn't it just for today? ”

"You, you...... You are also a spy of the Japanese country! ”

The last generals of the Zhiyuan ship hurriedly seemed to be in a nightmare, and their brains couldn't turn at all, unable to adapt to this sudden "betrayal".

Liu Yu in the back was a little impatient: "Zhang Mengjun, hurry up." Kill them all! The confrontation between the Beiyang Naval Division and the fleet of my Great Sun Empire is about to begin, so let's hurry up. ”

"Hey! Obey, Liu Jun! ”

Zhang Meng nodded, and made a standard Japanese understanding.

Then, with a wave of his hand, several soldiers with muskets behind him really aimed at the remaining sailor generals.

In the spitting tongue of fire, these poor generals were all killed!

By now, all the middle and high-level military generals on the entire Zhiyuan ship have been sacrificed.

In other words, in fact, there has not been a war with the Japanese people, and the Zhiyuan ship is basically "scrapped......

What is the difference between a warship without a command and a pile of scrap metal?

It is estimated that the people below don't even know when to fire the cannon or what kind of offensive or defensive strategy to execute!

Zhang Meng triumphantly patted the shoulders of the soldiers behind him - they were genuine Chinese, and they were bought by Zhang Meng with great effort and a large price.

This is the real traitor, and he should go to eighteen layers of hell!

"Yes, yes, you guys did a great job! Money is indispensable to you, and ...... When my Great Sun Empire wins, I will find a way to help you send you out of China and to the Wa Kingdom. Enjoy the glory and wealth! ”

These shameless traitors all nodded their heads, and their faces showed excitement and excitement.

"It is an honor for us to serve the Emperor......

Zhang Meng waved his hand: "Let's go first." When the battle begins, I'll make arrangements for you. ”

All these Han soldiers left. Only the corpses of the generals and the three standing Wa people were left here.

"Zhang Mengjun, you did a good job!"

He saluted: "For His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

The three Japanese who deserved to die looked at each other, and then showed an evil smile......

Not only the Zhiyuan ship, but also at least half of the 22 warships of the Yellow Sea Fleet dispatched by the Beiyang Naval Division this time were more or less infiltrated by the "Rising Sun Plan" of the Japanese people. They had long received the news and started to sabotage......

At this time, on the sea ahead, the fleet of the Japanese people was already very close to the fleet of the Beiyang Naval Division.

In the next instant, they entered each other's effective range!

The Japanese ** ship, the Yoshino.

Dozens of swarthy heavy guns were already aimed at the Zhiyuan ship in front......

"Cannon !!"

With an order, one after another shells with a scorching and dead breath headed towards the Zhiyuan ship.

Boom, boom!

Ship's side, deck...... Multiple shots. Suddenly thick smoke billowed and gunpowder filled the air.

The admirals and soldiers of the Wa Kingdom on the Yoshino were about to respond to the Zhiyuan ship immediately, but unexpectedly, the other party did not react!

Some people used binoculars to watch the situation of the Zhiyuan ship, but found that it was actually chaotic, and there were no people next to many of the ship's guns. Many are even fleeing in a panic......

What's going on?!

The Japanese officers were also stunned.

The "Rising Sun Project" is a top-secret plan of the Japanese state, and no one who is not a high-level will know the specific information in it. Only ten of the Japanese fleets that came to the Yellow Sea to fight the Beiyang Naval Division knew about this matter.

They know very well that in today's battle, as long as there are no accidents, the Japanese country will win!

It was only in order to avoid the arrogant mentality of his subordinates that he did not explain.

In any case, these Japanese naval soldiers who were on the front line of the war found that the several battleships rushed to the forefront of the Beiyang Naval Division had actually lost their combat effectiveness, and even the return fire was only after firing a few shells on the side of the remote ship without any pain.

These hateful Wa people are completely in a frenzy of euphoria!

"Kill! Defeat the Chinese and occupy all of China! ”

"For the rise of my Great Sun Empire, I am willing to fight to the death!"

"For His Majesty the Emperor, for the Great Sun Empire!"

Groups of Japanese naval soldiers howled and attacked the Beiyang Naval Division as much as they could......

This is a completely unequal naval battle!

Of the twenty-two main steam ironclad ships, there was a tragic turmoil on ten of them!

The Japanese people of the "Rising Sun Project" seem to have planned it a long time ago. The losses that occurred on the warships of the other Beiyang Naval Divisions were simply copies and repetitions of the Zhiyuan ships.

Therefore, before the real contact between the fleets of the two sides and the start of the war, there were only twenty-two main battleships left in the Beiyang Naval Division! The overall strength quickly weakened by half.

And that's not counting the demoralization and psychological blow it brings......

The whole naval battle went from a possible equal battle that both sides expected at the beginning to a one-sided slaughter!

At a very small cost, the Japanese fleet inflicted heavy losses on the Beiyang Naval Division and almost wiped out the entire Yellow Sea Fleet......

The next day, the news came out, the Manchu court was shaken, Shenzhou itself was shocked, and the whole world was shocked!

No one thought that the powerful Beiyang Naval Division would be so vulnerable.

If it is said that the British and French joined forces to break through the coastal defense with a "blitzkrieg" and landed and forced Beijing, there is still an unexpected factor in it. But this time with the Japanese people, it was a sea battle between the two sides and a dignified sea battle on the Yellow Sea.

How could you lose so badly?!

Fortunately, there are still some survivors of the Yellow Sea Fleet of the Beiyang Naval Division. Knowing that they were certain to be defeated, they had already taken a small motor boat in advance and quickly fled the battlefield to the harbor for their lives......

It was precisely because of them that the Manchu court and the high-level Westernists learned that the Japanese had already infiltrated the Beiyang Naval Division into a sieve!

The Beiyang sailors were furious, this was a loss that no one could accept, so they began a crazy purge.

But what's the use?

It doesn't make any sense other than to make the coastal defense forces of the entire Shenzhou mainland more volatile and weak.

On the other hand, the navy of the Japanese people, the news of the victory in the Yellow Sea War was transmitted back to China, and the entire Japanese country was boiling!

They knew that in this war that would determine the future fortunes of Shenzhou and the Japanese country, they had already won the jackpot strongly, and the final victory was only a matter of time.

According to the rumor circulating among the Japanese people, when he learned of the great victory of the Japanese fleet in the Yellow Sea, Emperor Xiaomei was actually drunk! Singing in the palace and staying up all night.

The people of the Japanese country sang and danced, and the local people of China were gloomy and bleak.

The results of the Westernization Movement already made the old-fashioned and die-hards in the Manchu court blushing and hating. Now that the Yellow Sea Fleet of the Beiyang Naval Division has been wiped out, these clowns have begun to jump up and down again.

As a matter of fact, the Westernization Movement itself still has a great positive effect on China. But when it comes to the mouths of those diehards, it becomes a waste of money and a lot of harm!

The Beiyang Naval Division was already a little unbearable after suffering two heavy blows in a row. Now even the Manchu court exerted enormous pressure, which almost became the last straw that broke the camel's back......

In the following battle of Weihai, it was also defeated......

The defeat was like a mountain. The poor Beiyang sailors didn't even really show their strength, and they were buried by the Japanese and the diehard pig teammates within the Manchu court!

Zhao Wushuang, who was far away in Chongqing, was furious when he received the news!

After he discovered the activities of the Xuanyang Society (Black Dragon Society) in Chongqing, he asked the people of the Huarong Society to investigate in major cities along the Yangtze River, and they all found traces of the activities of this organization attached to the Japanese ** department.

At that time, Zhao Wushuang was a little worried. Will the "First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle" in the previous life come early?

It seems that his worries are right.

The war between the Japanese and the mainland of Shenzhou has begun!

Moreover, it was easy to win, and the defeat of the Beiyang Naval Division was so rapid that it was even more unbearable than the world history in his previous life......

"Looks like it's time for me to do it myself! Japanese people, did you really win this battle of national fortune? Hehe. (To be continued.) )
