"Kasuhi" came back to his senses and immediately stepped forward to cover the "armor". Its close-range artillery bombardment of the "Huitian" caused more than 10 casualties among the opposing crews, and the rifle fire of the sailors on the ship also caused the enemy to suffer a great deal of suffering. During the exchange of fire, one person was also wounded on the "Kasuga". And the biggest loss to the Ezo army was the Grimm machine guns that constantly spewed tongues of fire on the "armor iron", and the commandos who boarded the "armor iron" were knocked down by the dense rain of bullets.

At this time, other warships of the government army gradually woke up and threw themselves into the siege. Seeing that he was no longer able to return to the sky, "Huitian" was forced to withdraw from the port, cut a bloody road, and finally escaped back to the box house.

Among the factors that determined the success or failure of the naval battle of Miyako Bay, in addition to the balance of forces between the two sides and the conditions of the battle, the vigilance of the "Kasuga" and the Grimm machine guns equipped on the "armor iron" were two weights of considerable weight. At that time, the government fleet was too paralyzed and careless, most of the warships did not fire, and most of the crew members were not on the ships; if it were not for the "spring day" that "everyone else sleeps and I wake up alone" and the melee weapon on the "armor and iron" Green machine gun, the "Huitian" would have launched a broadside battle more calmly, and the outcome of the battle would have been more unpredictable.

After the Battle of Miyako Bay, the Ezo Navy lost its last chance to turn the tables and was no longer able to challenge the government navy's supremacy in the Tsugaru Strait.

This battle has only been a few years ago, and as soon as it was proposed, it immediately stirred up waves in everyone's hearts!

"Oyama-kun said it very well." Toshiaki Kirino replied with a smile, "However, our speculation is useless, and everything will be known when the 'Mt. Fuji' returns." ”

Saigo Takamori nodded, raised his head and looked at the bright moon, a trace of loss flashed in his eyes, although it was fleeting, but he was still seen by Yamamoto Gonbei.

Thinking of the various rumors about Saigo Takamori in the Tokyo Marine Academy, Yamamoto Gonbei understood why Saigo Takamori was like this, and his heart couldn't help but be filled with sympathy and admiration for him.

Not everyone can endure humiliation like Mr. Nanzhou!

When the decision was announced, many people thought that Kagoshima would not accept it, but the fact was that Kagoshima accepted them and did not refuse.

Moreover, after coming to Kagoshima, Saigo Takamori and the samurai of Kagoshima, who actually controlled the Satsuma domain, did not distrust them, but completely let them participate in the military affairs of the navy, so that their previous fears were all relaxed.

And through contact with Saigo Takamori, Yamamoto Gonbei was also attracted by the personality charm of this model of samurai in the world. He also understands why there are Qianguo people like Lin Yiqing who came to Kagoshima to join Saigo Takamori.

Now, he already thinks that Tokyo's rumors about Kagoshima are not credible, and even thinks that this is a deliberate slander of Saigo Takamori by Okubo Ritsu and Kawaji Toshira and others.

After tonight's exercise, his mind was already focused on how to revitalize the Japanese Navy.

But he could not have imagined that from this day on, he would inevitably be caught up in a storm unprecedented in Japan's history.

The next day, Gonbei Yamamoto made an early appointment with Oyama Iwa to come to the dock and wait for the return of the "Mt. Fuji" training ship.

He didn't sleep well all night last night because he was always guessing what Lin Yiqing's plan for the ship-seizing exercise looked like.

After a while, accompanied by the sound of a whistle, the figure of "Mt. Fuji" appeared.

Seeing the appearance of the "Mt. Fuji", Gonbei Yamamoto and Oyama Iwa both raised their binoculars.

The "Mt. Fuji" in the telescope is intact, and the sail rigging is also intact, and there seems to be no sign of a battle.

"It shouldn't be a head-on combat exercise." Oyama put down the binoculars and said, "There was no trace of a fight on the ship. ”

"No, there are traces of a fight." Gonbei Yamamoto said, not putting down the binoculars, "There are places on the hull that have been repainted, and there are signs that the doors and windows have been damaged and repaired. ”

Hearing Yamamoto Gonbei say this, Oyama Iwa quickly raised the binoculars again, and looked carefully, and sure enough, as Yamamoto Gonbei said, the hull of the "Mt. Fuji" has several different shades of paint, and the doors and windows do have traces of reconstruction.

"I don't know what's going on." Dashan Yan said in surprise.

Soon, the "Mt. Fuji" approached the pier and lowered the trestle, and Gonbei Yamamoto and Oyama Iwa were about to go up, but they saw several sailors walking out of the cabin in groups of two, carrying a stretcher.

Seeing the stretcher procession passing in front of them, Gonbei Yamamoto and Oyama Iwa couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise.

"What's going on?" Gonbei Yamamoto asked a sailor.

"Oh, I was too involved in the exercise, I was injured, and I had to be sent to the hospital for treatment." One of the sailors blushed and replied vaguely.

Yamamoto Gonbei saw that the person lying on the stretcher was not lightly injured, and he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, he was afraid of delaying the treatment of the injured, so he didn't ask too much, but asked the sailors to go to the hospital quickly.

After carrying out the stretchers of six people, no more injured people appeared, and Yamamoto Gonbei and Oyama Iwa hurriedly got on the trestle and went straight to the captain's room.

When he came to the door of the captain's room, Yamamoto Gonbei saw two sailors standing at the door, so he explained to them his intentions and showed his identification, and the guards opened the door to report it, and when they came out, they invited Yamamoto Gonbei and Oyama Iwa to enter the door.

Entering the captain's room, Yamamoto Gonbei saw Togo Heihachiro sitting at the table taking notes, and his heart was very admiring, and he was about to speak, Togo Heihachiro had already heard the footsteps of the two of them, put down his pen, and turned around.

"It turned out to be Yamamoto-kun and Oyama-kun." Heihachiro Togo smiled and stepped forward to greet the two, "Why did you get up so early?" What is the wind that has brought you to my boat? ”

"Yamamoto-kun wants to ask, how did yesterday's ship-seizing exercise go? Which side emerged victorious? Dashan Yan asked with a smile.

"Of course, it's the one who grabs the ship." Heihachiro Togo smiled bitterly, and moved the chair with his own hands and invited the two to sit down.

"Oh? Is it the side that captured the ship and won? Hearing Heihachiro Togo's answer, Gonbei Yamamoto couldn't help but be surprised, "How did they do it?" ”
