As soon as Yan Fu's order was issued, a huge explosion occurred on the hull of the "Triumphant" ship opposite the flag before the flag soldiers could be raised, and the entire warship was blown up

Obviously, it should be the ammunition depot in the ship that was ignited, this huge explosion from the inside was fatal, and the damage caused was also devastating, and most of the officers and men on the ship chose to jump into the sea in the raging fire, and under the impetus of the survival instinct, abandoning the ship seemed to be normal at the time

This is the "Riding the Wind" slogan, "Let me go and rescue the brother who fell into the water"

Yan Fu burst into tears, resisting his impulse and ordering: "The fleet is lined up in a t formation, ready to meet the enemy who dares to sail into the waters of Japan, and will not be forgiven."

"Rise" pipe belt Lin Luzhong, was originally the Fujian Navy Division "Fubao" cruiser pipe belt, after the destruction of Mawei Military Port, he entered the Fujian Navy College to study, after graduating from the "Yang Wei", "Breaking Waves" ship as a deputy pipe belt, in the Qing Dynasty to build this was known as the earth-shattering "rise", was officially appointed as the "rise" of the "rise" pipe belt this person fought bravely, but easy to impulsive, because the original Fujian Navy belonged to Li Hongzhang to establish, Originally, the officers of the Fujian Navy Division and above were all Li Hongzhang's descendants or relatives, and the "Triumph" and "Victory" were all captured by the French, and at that time, the navy was nervous, so they directly drew people from the Fujian Navy Division to directly participate in the war, so some of the brothers who fell into the water on the opposite side were their original subordinates, some were their old leaders, and some were distant relatives of their mentor Li Hongzhang

"Damn, this is not his Nanyang Fleet people blocking why don't you go, let us go, don't let us go, don't let us go if you don't go to the rescue?? Send a flag to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu entered the Sea of Japan just to save people, if Lao Tzu is still alive after the war, he will be killed or chopped up whatever he wants"

"Pipe tape, this ......" The communications soldier was stunned for a moment

"What is this, this, carry out the order," Lin Luzhong roared angrily

"Yes"

On the observation tower of the "Changsheng", Yan Fuzheng was watching the "Shengli" that was on fire with a telescope and trying to sail towards him, but suddenly lowered the degree again, and after a closer look, he found that the soldiers on the deck had lowered their ropes and were ready to rescue the "Triumphant" soldiers in the sea

"Come back quickly, otherwise it's all over" Yan Fu yelled, and suddenly the figure of the "Rising" appeared in the telescope and turned around and asked, "What's the matter?" Lin Luzhong failed to disobey orders? ”

"Report to the general, the Rise has just sent a flag, saying...... said...... "The communications soldiers did not dare to speak out

Yan Fu scolded: "What did you say, say it quickly"

"It is said that the rise into the Sea of Japan is only to save people, and after being rescued, he will return to the team immediately if he is still alive after the battle, and he is willing to be dealt with by military law."

Yan Fu's face turned red after hearing this, and he scolded angrily: "Can his head in Lin Shou be worth a rise?" If my second formation is defeated because of the lack of rise, who will bear this responsibility? ”

The signal soldier bowed his head and was silent, and Yan Fusheng continued to look through the telescope as the Japanese 10,000-ton main battleship "Kyushu" in the distance had quietly approached behind the "Victory" ship that was advancing slowly and was burning with fire

"Boom ......"

There was another loud bang, the stern of the "Victory" was hit by a bullet and exploded, the fire was not controlled, the power system was damaged, the bottom of the ship was seriously flooded, the entire warship was light in the bow and heavy in the tail, and the stern had begun to sink, but the bow was still above the sea

The officers and men of the whole ship ran to the bow of the ship one after another, and jumped into the sea one by one, because they saw that the "rise" was approaching them, and the poor officers and men on the "Triumph" had just climbed up, and their buttocks were not yet hot, and they had to jump into the sea again

Yan Fu closed his eyes in pain, the so-called strong man broke his wrist, although he became crippled, but his life was saved, in order to avoid being attacked by the enemy, he decisively sent "Triumph" and "Victory" to stop it

Precious time was finally obtained, and most of the enemy ships were eliminated and the formation was stabilized, and waiting for the Japanese fleet to attack could be described as both gains and losses, and the sacrifices of "triumph" and "victory" were of considerable value

But now, the "Rise" did not listen to the dispatch and rashly attacked, so that the tragedy that had already ended may continue to be staged Yan Fu did not think of leading the fleet to rush to the rescue, but people with a little common sense of naval warfare know that in the battle, it is impossible to put down the escalator or rope to rescue the comrades who fell into the sea, not to mention that they will be used as targets by enemy ships, that is, the machine guns on their own warships. When the gun is fired, the strong recoil caused by the trembling of the ship's hull will also make the soldiers who climb up unbearable, not to mention that there is no extra manpower on the ship to put things like escalators, if you have obvious possession of your own strength, you can divide two or three warships, and you might as well try it without fighting, but now the comparison of strength between the two sides is not only not dominant, but there is also a disadvantage, and you can't rush into Japanese waters, and you can't run away when the time comes, and you have just seen the three terrifying cruisers of Japan

With the second formation of the main force of the imperial navy, if he handed over the fleet here because of his momentary feelings, he would have a few heads enough for the emperor to cut down, if the war fell into passivity because of this defeat, and even the final defeat he would not be able to bear this responsibility, so he would rather sacrifice the soldiers in front of him than take this risk

Fortunately, the operation of the "Rise" did not spread to other warships, and the rest of the warships were honestly put in formation, and the soldiers on the ships were also busy repairing the middle gun deck, carrying ammunition, watering the deck and a series of pre-war preparations

Although Yan Fu was very angry at Lin Luzhong's disobedience and wanted to cut off his head immediately, he was still watching the "rising" every move in the telescope, and his nervous expression fully explained his concern for the "rising".

His children can only educate themselves, and if they want to beat themselves, they will fight, and it is not the turn of others to make irresponsible remarks, and they will not be willing to let others fight, this feeling is just reflected in Yan Fu, looking at Lin Luzhong, who was still gritting his teeth just now, but now he hopes to return safely

"Boom ......"

A cannonball from the "Rise" was sent out to the "Fuso", which was approaching him, and the hull of the "Rising" shell shook violently, and the strong recoil almost threw the soldier in charge of the cannon to the deck

Bitterly, the soldiers who had just climbed up half of the sea were shaken by this tremor and all returned to the sea

"Idiot, how did that guy graduate from Fujian Sailor College?" Yan Fu looked through the binoculars and scolded angrily

It was the main gun of the Japanese 10,000-ton battleship "Kyushu" again, "boom ......"

One shell hit the side chord of the "Rise" accurately, because there were still soldiers in the sea constantly climbing up, the "Rise" could not move quickly, standing there like a target, another 280mm armor-piercing shell broke its steam pipe, making it slower and slower, and another 240mm high-explosive grenade hit its officer's room, the shell tore a large hole in the starboard aft, and also left two large holes in the 102-meter-thick armored deck, the luxurious furnishings of the officer's room no longer existed, beds, planks, clothes…… It's not the most important thing that everything in the mess becomes burning fragments, because this is in wartime, there is no one in the officer's room, the most important thing is the officer's room's hair and shot bag store, and the door of the launch and pill bag is not closed, even if the launch and medicine bag is only a small spark, the fate of the "Rise" is to be cut off by an earth-shattering explosion, and then sink into the sea in a few minutes with more than 500 lives

Lin Luzhong has not yet noticed all this, but he has continuously felt the shock of the warship, at the beginning of the battle, the "Rise" was hit by two Japanese cruisers and could not find the north, and was shot in many places, and now Lin Luzhong also wants to save a few more brothers with his strong defense ability

"Boom ......"

A loud bang came from the officer's room of the "Rise", as described before, the "Rise" was cut off by an earth-shattering explosion, and slowly sank in just a few minutes, pitiful for the soldiers who jumped from the "Triumph" into the sea, climbed onto the warship twice in a row, and finally could not escape the fate of returning to the sea
