'Boom! A 381-mm Chinese ship's main gun shell went through a difficult journey, forcibly tearing through the air blockage, and finally plunged headlong into the middle of the Japanese fleet.

The waves caused by the cannonballs, like a group of fierce beasts, slapped hard against every warship around them, and each warship was like a child's toy in the sea, swinging wantonly by the sea, unable to control its own form at all.

The battle lasted for three hours, a battle to defeat the opponent, and finally ended in a situation where more than ten warships were forced by two Chinese ships, and in the end, only the flagship Sina Su and another warship successfully withdrew from the battlefield with scars.

From the beginning to the end, it was said that not a single shell in the fleet fell within a 1,000-meter radius of the Chinese ship, and this was the advantage of the long range of the artillery. Of course, this naval battle also allowed the powers to see the power of the giant ship cannons, and even made the powers scramble to invest in the research of large-caliber, ultra-long-range new artillery.

Because this naval battle in the Yellow Sea really told them that range is king, no range, no power, no number of warships is equal to zero.

"Commander, we had a chance to annihilate them just now, why did we let them go?" Tang Ying, the captain of the Shan Yong, looked at Liu Chengming with a wry smile and asked with some puzzlement.

"Our record is already perfect, once the record is announced, it will be a great joy for the people at home, but our navy has some achievements, and we should always leave some for the army, right? Don't do anything too much, everyone is a family, there is no need to make the friendly brothers look cold. Liu Chengming replied softly.

Just now they did have the ability and the opportunity to sink the two warships that the other party had escaped, but Liu Chengming still ordered them to be let go, as for why, except for a limited number of people, I am afraid that few people in the entire country know what is going on.

The emperor had specially ordered before, the frogman troops have been formed for a long time, because of the war situation, they have not been able to participate in the battle, and now the two warships are injured, and they must not escape directly back to the capital, at least they must return to a certain port for simple maintenance before continuing on the road.

Before dividing the frogman unit into two (frogman unit and marines), Wang Lin wanted to verify the combat effectiveness of the frogman unit. Whether it can withstand the test of war, so there is such a thing as deliberately letting go of the warship.

And according to the combat habits of the frogman troops, there is basically no need to worry about exposing this problem, of course, unless they have someone to stay under the water to observe, it is absolutely impossible to find out the whereabouts of the frogman troops.

Sure enough, after being secretly tracked by the submarine force, the two warships did not return to China directly because of the damage to their hulls, but went directly to the port of Nampo in western Korea, where they would immediately lift anchor and return to China for overhaul after a day of temporary maintenance.

Outside the port of Nanpu, small ships patrolled uninterruptedly, and the patrol density reached about 20 minutes before a patrol boat passed by, and the port of Nanpu was covered with hills, and after the army occupied this place, it set up dozens of shore artillery bases in the hilly area behind the port of Nanpu.

Nampo Port, at this time is not called Nampo Port, but called the town of Nampo, the name Nampo is only later, and Nampo this place, in the Russian War and the Sino-Chinese War, has an extremely important strategic location, he not only has an excellent geographical location, only 70 kilometers away from the sea off Pyongyang, here is in these two wars, was used as a military station base.

The Russo-Russian War had broken out, although at this stage the two sides were only skirmishes, and the large corps did not participate in the war, and at the beginning of the conflict, it attracted the lion of the Chinese Empire, which had just woken up. However, this does not affect the contention between Russia and Russia for land in the northeast.

At this time, hundreds of thousands of troops in Nanpu have been assembled, and after waiting for an order, they can directly go to the northeast battlefield, so as to join the war between China and Russia.

Jia Lin, as a veteran of the first batch of amphibious frogman troops, is now a veteran who is nearly thirty years old, and has been in the army for ten years, even after joining the frogman unit, he is also the oldest soldier in the entire frogman army.

Jia Lin's results in various subjects are the top few every time, according to the practice in the national defense force, people with ability will generally be promoted to officers, after all, it is still the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the number of troops required is also extremely large, and the expansion of the army must have officers, although the frogman army does not plan to expand at present, but for the future expansion, the necessary talent accumulation still has to be done.

Therefore, the soldiers in the frogman unit generally have a higher military rank than the outside troops, and the ordinary soldiers here are also a corporal at the lowest, and as for the squad leader, the lowest is a sergeant, and even a sergeant. In a small frogman unit with thousands of people, there are more than 20 sergeant majors above the third-class sergeant major.

You must know that the sergeant major is still relatively short in the national defense force at present, there are not many sergeant majors, after the major expansion of the army, the sergeant major has basically been promoted, and the newly promoted sergeant major has not been able to bring the rank of sergeant major for a long time because of the age of the soldier. Moreover, in the army, a regiment, out of more than 2,000 people, often has less than 10 sergeant majors.

Now that I have my eyes on the frogman troops, I seem to feel that corporals, sergeants, sergeants, sergeants, sergeants, and sergeants are a bit of a bargain all over the place.

And Jia Lin, who had just taken off his rank of sergeant and successfully brought the rank of third-class sergeant, was supposed to be promoted, but because of cultural reasons, and because this person had superhuman skills, the leaders of the army were reluctant to let him retire, so he was given the rank of sergeant major, and at the same time forced him to learn culture, so that he could be promoted in the future.

Jia Lin sat quietly inside the submarine, breathing calmly, and the soldiers next to him, like Jia Lin, were not curious about the internal structure of the submarine. The frogman unit can be said to be a killer weapon under Wang Lin, on land in the sea, as long as there is something, the frogman unit can encounter it during training.

And landing from a submarine is also one of the subjects they often train, and for them, it is not an uncommon thing to get on a submarine. In this mission, only one class of twelve soldiers participated, and Jia Lin was only thirteen.

'Tick, tick, tick! In the rest room of the submarine soldiers where Jia Lin was located, the alarm lights on the wall suddenly flashed, Jia Lin looked left and right, and then said to his soldiers: "Check the weapons and equipment!" Ready to go! ”
