The "Chaowu" ship once again issued a flag order to "surrender immediately", and the "Hitachi Maru" also issued a reply flag: "The two countries have not declared war, they are not belligerents, and they request to return to the place of departure." ”

This time, the "Chaowu" ship did not reply with the flag, but lowered the steam sampan, and Togo Heihachiro saw a leader of the Qianguo sailors leading ten Qianguo sailors onto the dinghy, and immediately knew what they were going to do.

They were going to come up to the "Hitachi Maru" and convey the order to surrender!

Watching the Qianguo dinghy approaching quickly, a commotion began on the deck of the Japanese transport.

The dinghy quickly approached the Hitachi Maru, and at that moment, a surprising scene appeared.

"Shoot! Kill them! Don't let them get on board! A Japanese Army officer jerked out his command knife and shouted in a hissed voice.

The Japanese Army soldiers of the brigade gathered to the side of the ship, raised their rifles, and shot at the Qianguo boat on the sea!

The Qianguo sailors on the dinghy did not expect that the Japanese troops would suddenly shoot at them, and when they were caught off guard, two sailors were shot and killed on the spot, and the Qianguo officer was also shot in the chest and fell down. Seeing this, the sailors in the dinghy immediately turned the bow of the ship and sailed back to the ship.

"Fire! Sink their warship! It may be that someone was inspired by the "victory" just now and shouted loudly.

"Eight...... Baga Yalu! As the captain of the "returnee" who had just returned from studying in Britain, Togo Heihachiro certainly understood the consequences of these dazed Japanese army officers and soldiers doing such a brutal job, and his face suddenly turned pale and he cursed.

No one paid attention to his scolding, and at this time, the Japanese soldiers on the "Hitachi Maru", under the command of the officer, actually pushed out a mountain gun used by the Japanese army from the cabin and fired a cannon at the "Chaowu" ship!

Due to the close distance, the cannon fired by the Japanese hit the side of the "Chaowu" ship, and with a flash of fire, it made a loud noise, and the "Chaowu" ship emitted a violent tremor.

The "Chaowu" ship started slowly, and the blood-red battle flag was raised on the mast, and in an instant, the "Chaowu" ship began a salvo on one side, and one 190-millimeter gun and three 140-millimeter guns spewed out a stream of fire.

Due to the proximity of the distance, and the fact that the gunners of Qianguo had long been ready to attack, they aimed at the target, and with the first salvo, the shells hit the target accurately.

As if the sky was falling apart, the boiler of the "Hitachi Maru" was hit and exploded, and the hull of the ship immediately began to sink, and the steam and soot emitted from the boiler filled the space like purgatory.

Heihachiro Togo clearly saw that the "Chaowu" ship had fired four 190-mm shells and 12 140-mm shells in a short period of time. The "Hitachi Maru" was suddenly filled with gunsmoke and firelight, mixed with the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling, and the "Sanbang Maru" and "Yougong Maru" not far away should have really witnessed this tragic scene, and couldn't wait to raise the white flag!

"Yagayalu! Detective! Traitor! The officer who was on the deck directing the Japanese soldiers to remove the cannons from the cabin -- Heihachiro Togo recognized him as the captain of the group, Shigeo Sameshima -- could not help but curse when he saw the "Sanbang Maru" and "Yugong Maru" with the white flags raised.

He probably thought that the soldiers on the two transport ships would follow the "Hitachi Maru" to attack the enemy ship after seeing the exemplary action, but he didn't expect that they were greedy for life and afraid of death, and put up a white flag!

Since the "Hitachi Maru" carried an artillery brigade and two infantry squadrons, and carried artillery, it was the Japanese soldiers who moved the cannon out of the cabin for the first time, but what they didn't expect was that before they could prepare the artillery, their destruction came.

Accompanied by the terrifying sound of "knock" and "sudden thud," a terrifying stream of bullets and fires were fired from near the flybridge and on the mast of the Qianguo warship, and all the 40-mm Haqikaisi five-barreled machine guns and single-barreled machine guns and Lin's machine guns equipped on the "Chaowu" opened fire.

Seeing the machine cannon shells fired by the gunners of the Dry Country, Togo Heihachiro first hit the gun position of the army mountain gun at the stern of the "Hitachi Maru", not only shattering the artillery carriage of the cannon, but also beating the gunners around the cannon to the ground, and then the machine gun shells flew towards another cannon that the Japanese had just moved out on the deck.

A series of explosions sounded, and Togo Heihachiro saw that the cannon carriage and wheels were shattered in an instant, and the heavy gun body fell on the deck, running over the legs of a Japanese gunner who could not dodge, and the gunner screamed loudly, pushing the barrel hard, trying to push the barrel away, but the cannon was too heavy and did not move at all.

Two Japanese soldiers rushed up and pushed the cannon together, and at this moment, it seemed that they were hit by a machine shell, and Togo Heihachiro saw in horror that almost instantly, blood was splashed, and the upper body of the three Japanese sailors disappeared at once!

Togo Heihachiro felt a burst of hot rain fall on his face, and on his hands, his body, he looked at his hands a little blankly, and was surprised to find that they had turned red.

A cannonball landed on the deck and exploded, Togo Heihachiro felt himself fly like a bird in an instant, he subconsciously looked around, and saw several Japanese soldiers like him, flying into the air, and then falling heavily on the deck.

Heihachiro Togo, who was in a trance and was stunned by the explosion of the cannonballs, stood up from the deck covered with blood, when suddenly a series of cannonballs from the enemy ship swept past the deck beside him, and flew upwards and headed straight for the flying bridge.

Heihachiro Togo subconsciously looked up at the flybridge, only to see that the head of the American captain Campbell, who was holding a rifle to shoot at the Qianguo warship, instantly burst and disappeared.

Heihachiro Togo stared blankly, only to see Campbell's left shoulder suddenly shattered, and then a huge blood hole appeared in his chest, and his right arm flew into the sky with the blood splashing.

Watching several Americans on the flybridge dismembered and shredded one by one like puppets with broken strings by some terrifying and magical force, Heihachiro Togo could hardly believe his eyes.

His ears, which had been shaken by the sound of the explosion, suddenly returned to normal, and the surroundings were filled with heart-rending screams for a while. Togo Heihachiro turned his head to look and saw the stumps of Japanese soldiers everywhere, soldiers who had not died of their breath crying out in pain in a pool of blood, some shouting the names of their parents and relatives, some chanting Buddhism there, and some scolding the emperor, believing that the emperor had sent them to death.

At this time, the deck of the "Hitachi Maru" was no longer a scene in the world.
