Chapter Two Hundred and Eight: Please Be a True Samurai
The entire naval fleet, like a mad cow, rushed at full speed to the position of the two Chinese ships at full speed.
Most of the main guns of the naval fleet are small-caliber, which is naturally not as perverted as the 381 mm caliber guns of the Chinese ships, so in terms of range, the naval fleet is also slightly behind the Chinese Imperial Navy fleet.
However, the naval fleet of the Chinese Empire, compared with the army, gave the great powers more impression of the navy, although they still exposed a lot of problems in the battle, but just by relying on the equipment to defeat the opponent, it was enough to cover up these problems. The two most important issues in naval warfare at this stage are not sea currents, wind speeds, and so on.
It's about how far the range of the cannon is, how powerful the cannon is, as long as you can overwhelm the opponent in range and power, then you can say that you have won more than half of this naval battle. It's like a tall man and a short man to see who can touch something above their heads, and the result is the same, without informatization, the hit is the range.
Seeing the frenzied rush of the Yueben fleet, Liu Chengming snorted coldly, and immediately shouted to the herald next to him: "Order the fleet, keep a distance from the Yueben Navy." ”
This time, Liu Chengming wants a complete victory, a result that can shock the world. With the firepower and armor configuration of the Chinese ship, even if it runs within the range of the Navy, what can it do? Relying on the small guns and bird cannons of the Navy, at most, it is just an itch for the Chinese ship.
This battle was particularly important for the entire Chinese Empire, although Wang Lin did not intend to take the opportunity to regain lost territory, nor did he intend to take the opportunity to attack the Korean Peninsula.
This battle can be said to be a performance, a time to fully display the surging and vigorous momentum of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and Wang Lin is to take advantage of this opportunity, he wants to let the whole world understand that although we are weak, we are not soft persimmons, no matter how you pinch them, they will not resist.
"Yaga, what a cunning Shina man." Gua Sheng Waiji looked at the figures of the two Chinese ships in the distance opposite that began to slowly retreat, and clutched his command knife with some anger, gritted his teeth, and scolded with some itching in his heart.
Gua Sheng Waiji is also a general who grew up in the navy, and although he doesn't understand the other party's intentions very well at this time, he is still somewhat clear about their motives.
If Gua Sheng Waiji was the commander of the Chinese Imperial Fleet on the opposite side, he would have fought like this, a battle in which all small ships on the opposite side had always limited the enemy to a diplomatic war with its powerful firepower and ultra-long range. In this way, by the time the battle is over, the entire Great Empire will be overshadowed again.
"Stop!" Gua Sheng Waiji, who calmed down, suddenly realized that this might be a trap, and this trap would bring a serious disaster to the Great Empire, and from the chaos, Gua Sheng Waiji shouted loudly in horror.
'Boom! Just after Gua Sheng Waiji finished shouting, his flagship Sina Speed Ship just began to slow down, because this is in the sea, if the ship wants to stop completely, or even reverse, it needs a certain distance, unlike a car, no matter how fast you run, you will always be stopped within a hundred meters.
It is precisely because of the sudden braking of the Sina Speed that the Sina Speed escaped a catastrophe. A 381-mm shell, with a heavy hatred, let out a long roar, and plunged headlong into about 400 meters in front of the Sina Speed, and the powerful shell set off a wave of wild waves at the sea level.
The Sina Speed has not completely stopped, and its petite body is swaying left and right under the lapping of the huge waves.
This accident made Gua Sheng Waiji secretly relieved in his heart, fortunately the order was timely, otherwise according to the speed just now, even if he couldn't reimburse the Sina Speed at one time, most of the soldiers above would definitely be injured because of this.
"Retreat, retreat at full speed, order all ships, retreat in an orderly manner according to the predetermined plan." Gua Sheng Waiji didn't have time to be surprised, so he hurriedly shouted to retreat, he knew that if he didn't leave, he was afraid that they would not be able to leave.
And the so-called predetermined plan, no matter which country or which army's retreat plan, is always formulated around the commander, and it is always made up of tens of thousands of soldiers or more manpower and material resources, using other people's lives to buy time for themselves to retreat, and finally they can be generous, and I appear in front of everyone with the appearance of I am your boss.
Although he said that he admired the spirit of bushido, when it really came to this time, and the commander ordered him to retreat, who would fight desperately for a battle that was impossible to win? Of course, this is only what some people think, and most of the Saimen are still thinking about fighting to the death.
"General, we should be like a samurai, bravely rush forward, bite the enemy's neck and die with him!" A staff officer next to Guasheng Waiji shook his head secretly, in his mind, at this time, Guasheng Waiji was a little timid and had the idea of escaping, which was not an idea that a samurai should have.
And in view of the fact that the other party is a general, and he is in the same force as himself, for his own sake and for his entire collective, this staff officer felt the need to remind Guasheng Waiji, so as not to cause the entire collective to suffer immeasurable losses due to his stupid orders.
"Murakami-kun, do you think we are still sure of victory in this situation? Our fleet is the foundation that the empire has worked hard to accumulate over the years, is it still meaningless to destroy the last hope of the empire even when we know that we are invincible? Gua Sheng Waiji said with some bitterness.
"General, I understand these truths, but this is not a reason for us to retreat, a samurai should have the spirit of a samurai, die without remembrance, die without scruples, and die without hesitation. This is the most basic bottom line of us as a samurai, do you want to touch this bottom line, general? Daisa, who is called Murakami, gently put his right hand behind his back, and it seems that he has made some kind of decision.
Gua Sheng Waiji saw all the small actions of the village in his eyes, and smiled coldly in his heart, at this time, naturally reputation is the most important, and he also knows that as long as the Chinese Empire participates in the war this time, then the result is likely to be a big surprise, and all the commanders in the entire war will be burdened with defeat, betrayal, etc., maybe leave a moment earlier, this choice is correct.
"Murakami-kun, please believe me, the empire's family background, we must keep it, when we go back, I will commit suicide by caesarean section, this matter is my decision, and the responsibility should naturally be borne by me alone!"
Murakami Osa frowned, and the right hand behind him immediately took it back as if it was tickling, with a reluctant expression on his face, not to mention how happy he was in his heart, he nodded again and again, and even tears fell out of his excitement: "General, I believe your choice is correct!" ”
