Chapter 164: Unification of China 14

At dawn, when the commander of the Russian Navy's Arthur fleet, Witheft, looked at the unsightly Arthur military port, and sat down on the ground with a butt in spite of his image.

Withoeft knows that the Arthur detachment of the Russian Pacific Fleet is finished, completely finished!

The Russian Pacific Fleet in the Far East has only two detachments, the one has always been the Heisenwei fleet and one is the Arthur fleet.

Because the Haisenwei military port is frozen in winter, since the completion of the Lushun military port, Russia has put the focus of the Pacific Fleet on the Lushun military port, so that there are a full 40 warships in the Lushun military port, of which the main warships are relatively advanced warships in this era, while the Haisenwei detachment only has 30 warships, and they are all relatively backward warships.

After last night's attack on the Lushun military port, not only was the military port seriously damaged, but the Lushun fleet was also completely disabled.

In other words, Russia's Pacific Fleet, after this battle, was almost destroyed.

From being able to compete with the Pacific Combined Fleet to nearing destruction, in just one night, Witherft knew that along with the destruction of the Arthur fleet, he was also destroyed.

Thinking about it, the angry Witherft spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

When Witheft woke up again, a scene that frightened him appeared, because outside the port of Arthur, a fleet had appeared, this was a fleet so large that it made him terrifying, whether it was the number of warships, or the formation of warships, the momentum of warships, it was so powerful that he felt trembling in his bones.

If the Arthur fleet hadn't experienced the changes a few hours ago, it might have been able to barely compete with this fleet, but at this moment......

Thinking of this, Witherft's heart was bitter and cold, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

After half a ring, he gradually recovered, and the first thing he thought of was that this fleet was the Sayben Fleet, and it was also the Sayben Fleet that had attacked the Port of Arthur a few hours earlier.

Because in the Far East, except for Russia, no country can have such a powerful fleet.

But it didn't take long for him to know that he was wrong, because as the fleet approached, he had already seen the dragon flag raised high on the warship.

In the world, there is only one country that will use the dragon as its military flag, and this country is China, because the dragon is the totem of China, a unique totem!

Today, Wang Jundao has only established the Chinese Empire, although it is nominally equivalent to the establishment of the Chinese Empire, but in fact the Chinese Empire has not yet been established.

So China does not have a national flag yet, only a military flag, a golden dragon flag with a cyan blue background.

At this moment, the dragon flag fluttering on the battleship Haitian showed the world the majesty of the Chinese Navy.

Witheft finally knew that it was not the Yuben fleet that attacked Port Arthur a few hours ago, but the Chinese fleet!

But when did China have such a powerful fleet?

Witherft couldn't figure it out.

In fact, of course, he couldn't figure it out, because in the past two years, Wang Jundao ordered the naval fleet to be directly divided into two parts, and the size and shape of the fleet in the two parts were the same, so that there were only more than 30 warships in each part, and each time Wang Jundao only let some of the warships go out to inspect China's coastal waters.

Even more than half a year ago, when Wang Jundao dispatched a fleet to approach the Yangtze River, he actually dispatched more than 20 warships, and although there were more than 100 other ships, they were all auxiliary ships, military transport ships, not warships.

Even if Wang Jundao incorporated the Nanyang Fleet, which is composed of nearly 20 warships, he also ordered the naval fleet to be divided into three parts, so that each part will go to sea in turn, so that each fleet still has less than 30 warships, and all countries still only think that Wang Jundao has a maximum of thirty or forty warships, and there will be no more, and the most important thing is that there are not a few main heavy warships, so all countries in the world do not take the Chinese fleet seriously.

Wittheft naturally thought so, and through his previous assessment of the North and South Ocean Fleet, he found that the surname of the warships of the North and South Ocean Fleet could only be the same as the warships of the Haisenwei fleet, which was a grade worse than the warships of the Arthur fleet, and naturally a cut worse than the warships of the current fleet.

However, a few hours ago, the Chinese fleet had taught him a lesson in destroying the Port of Arthur, the Lushun fleet, the Russian Pacific Fleet, and him, and he deeply realized that the Chinese fleet was no longer what it used to be.

Just as Witheft was thinking with heavy thoughts, Sa Zhenbing and Liu Guanxiong had personally led the naval fleet to the offshore waters of Lushun Military Port, which was less than six thousand meters away from Lushun Military Port.

At this time, through the observation mirror, Sa Zhenbing has also clearly taken the scene of Lushun Military Port into his eyes, Rao is that he has experienced the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, and has seen the scene of the destruction of ships, Rao is that after many exercises, he knows the power of the naval guns of the new warship, and he still can't help but be shocked.

Liu Guanxiong, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the navy, was next to Sa Zhenbing, and he had already seen the scene of the Lushun military port clearly, and after a long time, he said dementedly: "I have never seen a fleet suffer such serious destruction, the Russian Lushun fleet is over, it seems that we don't have to fight this naval battle." ”

Sa Zhenbing sighed: "Yes, it's all the credit of 'Jiaolong', if we could have a ship and naval guns like 'Jiaolong', why worry about not being able to beat this book?" ”

Liu Guanxiong smiled faintly and said: "If there is no commander, how can there be a 'Jiaolong', how can there be today's victory?" ”

Sa Zhenbing nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, if the commander hadn't invented new naval guns and rapid-fire guns, new warships, and allocated a lot of military funds to rebuild the navy, how would there be today?" ”

Liu Guanxiong nodded and said: "Now that the Russian Lushun fleet has been destroyed, only the Haisenwei fleet remains, which is not worth mentioning, in the Western Taiping region, only the Yueben Navy can compete with us, I believe that it will not be long before the commander will order a war against the Yueben Navy, and at that time it will be our revenge on the Yueben Fleet." ”

Sa Zhenbing said in a deep voice: "Yes, there will be revenge in the end, now let's occupy Arthur Military Port first, those more than ten warships, although they are not capital ships, most of the damage is also serious, but if they become ours, our fleet strength will be higher in a short period of time, if the two seriously injured heavy warships are refitted, the sunken ones are salvaged, those that can be retrofitted are refitted, and those that cannot be modified are dismantled for the construction of new ships, and our naval fleet will increase by more than one-third in half a year at most." ”

Liu Guanxiong nodded and said, "Then what should we do now?" Ordered the surrender of the Russian Arthur fleet? ”

Sa Zhenbing glanced at the Lushun Military Port indifferently: "Yes, send a message to the commander of the Russian Lushun Fleet, within half an hour, if you surrender without a white flag, we will launch a final artillery bombardment here to completely destroy the Lushun Military Port, and when the Marines land, all the Russians in the military port will not be left!" ”

Liu Guanxiong's heart was cold, and he commanded: "Yes! ”

Most of the Russian Arthur fleet has been completely destroyed, the main warships have lost their combat capability, and the rest are small torpedo ships, small destroyers, and minesweepers, and there is nothing to do with the Chinese fleet five thousand meters away.

If they do not surrender, not only will the military port and warships be destroyed, but once the Chinese marines land, the troops in the military port will not be able to resist at all, and the Russian army will face death.

So Witherft didn't think long at all, and chose to fly the white flag and surrender.

In order to prevent the Russians from backtracking and surrendering, Sa Zhenbing only sent a dozen small destroyers and battleships to receive the surrender, while the rest of the warships pressed behind, and then sent landing ships for the marines to land and accept prisoners.

After the Lushun Military Port was completely controlled, Sa Zhenbing and Liu Guanxiong personally led the Chinese fleet into the Lushun Military Port.

When the news that the Chinese fleet had destroyed the Russian Arthur fleet at the cost of zero casualties, received more than a dozen ships, and completely controlled the Port Arthur reached Yanjing by telegram, it was already the evening of September 1.

In the Admiralty of the Military Hall, Wang Jundao, Lin Zhengnan, and Ye Zuqi had been guarding for a whole day and a night, and the three of them had been guarding the telegraph since the fleet set off yesterday evening, and they had not closed their eyes at all.

After all, this was the first battle in the true sense of the rebuilt Chinese Navy, and although it was a sneak attack, it was a sneak attack, it was prepared to fight unprepared, it was active to fight passively, and it was twice the strength of the Russian Arthur fleet to fight the Russian fleet, but the nerves of the three people have been tense, and they are deeply afraid that there will be an accident in this sneak attack war.

This morning, the news of the successful sneak attack on Lushun Military Port by Jiaolong came, in fact, the three of them had already roughly predicted the result, but even so, the three of them did not relax in the slightest.

Until the last minute, it doesn't say it all!

It wasn't until now, when the news of the victory came, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Jundao looked at Ye Zuqi who was bloodshot in his eyes, thinking that since he began to formulate this naval sneak attack battle, he hadn't slept well once, Wang Jundao couldn't help but say: "Okay, old Ye, it's time to rest assured, right?" Get a good night's sleep, and then our navy should be ready to deal with the fleet. ”

Ye Zuqi nodded, his face full of joy: "The Chinese Navy has risen since then. ”

After finishing speaking, all the tension was eliminated, and Ye Zuqi, who was physically and mentally exhausted, only felt infinite sleepiness coming, and fell asleep in the chair of the Admiralty in less than a moment.

Wang Jundao and Lin Zhengnan looked at each other and smiled: "People are old, they can't compare to us." ”

instructed the personnel of the Admiralty to take good care of Ye Zuqi, and Wang Jundao and Lin Zhengnan returned to the staff headquarters.

After the victory of the Battle of Lushun, the two not only did not fall asleep like Ye Zuqi, but became more and more energetic.

There are three reasons for this, one is that Wang Jundao and Lin Zhengnan are both very young, Wang Jundao is only seventeen years old, and Lin Zhengnan is only thirty-two years old.

The second is that Wang Jundao and Lin Zhengnan are both people who practice martial arts, especially Wang Jundao, with his current martial arts to reach the peak of his cultivation, don't say that he doesn't sleep for a day or two, or he doesn't sleep for four or five days, there is no problem, although Lin Zhengnan's cultivation is far lower than Wang Jundao, but if he doesn't sleep for a day or two, he can persevere.

The third is the victory of the Battle of Arthur, the Dragon and Tiger Army can completely land from Lushun, from the south to the north, and launch an attack on the more than 30,000 Russian troops entrenched in the Liaodong Peninsula, so the two must come up with the main combat deployment on the Liaodong Peninsula as soon as possible.

After discussion, Wang Jundao and Lin Zhengnan decided to devote all four combat brigades of the Marine Corps to the Liaodong Peninsula.

The Third Army of the Guards Corps of the First Theater was transferred south from the Shengjing area and entered the Liaodong Peninsula from the north.

The targets were all a group army of the Russian army entrenched on the Liaodong Peninsula. (To be continued.) )
