721 A monster was sunk?

Commander Makarov led the Pacific Fleet to retreat in the direction of Port Arthur, and soon retreated to the open sea, Commander Makarov's heart was extremely aggrieved, this battle, the Pacific Fleet did not fire a single shot, a Petropaplovsk-class battleship and a cruiser were sunk.

Commander Makarov was furious in the fleet command room, and the roaring voice almost made the glass tremble, and the chief of staff on the side said carefully: "Your Excellency, commander, why don't we take revenge on the Chinese Empire." ”

"Revenge? How to retaliate? Do you go to find the merchant ships of the Chinese Empire again, and what if they are sunk again? Two battleships were sunk today, including a Petropaplovsk-class battleship, one of the most prized ships of the Empire, and I don't know how to report it to His Majesty the Tsar. ”

"Your Excellency Commander, why don't we attack the Miaodao Islands, which are the territory of the Huaxia Empire, very close to us, with a population of only a few hundred households and a few thousand people, we have killed on the island for a while, which can be regarded as a severe blow to the arrogance of the Huaxia Empire, and when we get to the island, we can also set up arson and loot, and the morale of the army will be raised at once."

Commander Makarov thought about it and felt that what the chief of staff said was reasonable, the quality of the Russian army was actually very poor, not much better than the Japanese army, and if there was no murder, robbery and adultery, the morale of the army would be very low.

Commander Makarov then ordered the Pacific Fleet to turn around and go to the Miaodao Islands, which are located in the northeastern part of Shandong, consisting of several small islands, including Beihuangcheng Island, Nanhuangcheng Island, etc., which were originally Qing territory, and the islanders were mainly fishermen, after the Huaxia Army occupied Shandong, it became the territory of the Chinese Empire, and the islanders cut off their braids one after another and became the Chinese people.

Commander Makarov decided to sack the nearest Beihuangcheng Island first, and the islands of the Miaodao archipelago are relatively small and have no military value, so there are no fortifications of the Chinese Empire on the island at all, and the Pacific Fleet can fight as much as it wants.

The sailors of the Pacific Fleet are very happy now, they have been holding back in Port Arthur for too long, and they can't do anything, especially the women, the brothels in Port Arthur are all controlled by the Japanese, and the Russians want to pay a high price to go, these sailors are all young people in their twenties and thirties, and there is no entertainment on the warship.

The Pacific Fleet soon came to Beihuangcheng Island, and since there were no fortifications on the island, Commander Makarov did not order the battleships to open fire, but ordered the sailors to go directly to the island, and now there are nine battleships left, and each battleship selected two hundred people, a total of 1,800 people went to the island.

The sailors happily slaughtered the Chinese villages on the island, only to be surprised to find that they were completely empty, and there was no one in them, not only no people, but also food, chickens, ducks, fish and meat.

The Russian sailors are very strange, could it be said that the Chinese Empire has relocated the fishermen on the island, it is impossible, all the houses on the island are very clean, there are no weeds in the yard, there are no cobwebs in the houses, it definitely does not look like no one lives.

The Russian sailors quickly understood that the fishermen on the island were all hiding, and where were they hiding? There is an unnamed stone mountain on the island, and the fishermen must have taken refuge in it.

The Russian sailors happily slaughtered towards the stone mountain, but they did not expect that as soon as they reached the bottom of the mountain, they suddenly heard dense gunfire from the top of the mountain on both sides of the road.

As soon as the gunshots rang out, the Russian sailors fell down one after another, the guns of the people above were not bad, almost every few shots, there were Russian sailors who fell, the Russian sailors looked at the corpse of the dead guy, there was only a small hole in the front of the corpse, and there was a big hole behind the corpse, which was obviously hit by the deformation bullet of the Chinese Empire.

The deformation bullet is the ammunition of the regular army of the Chinese Empire, how can there be this small Beihuangcheng Island? Could it be that the people on the island are all regular troops of the Huaxia Empire, and they are waiting for our arrival?

The Russian sailors panicked, if they wanted to fight, they were not opponents, because they did not bring many rifles, and the Russian sailors felt that the people on the island were fishermen and were easy to deal with, so more than 1,800 people only carried a dozen rifles, some of which did not have bullets, and listening to the gunfire of the other side, the number of rifles exceeded at least 300.

The Russian sailors had no choice but to retreat in embarrassment, bringing back dozens of corpses, Commander Makarov was shocked and angry when he learned that the Russian sailors were "slaughtered" by a group of fishermen on the island, he couldn't figure it out, why there was a regular army of the Chinese Army on the island, did the regular army of the Chinese Empire already know that the Pacific Fleet was coming here?

In fact, Commander Makarov didn't know that the troops on Beihuangcheng Island were not the regular troops of the Chinese Empire at all, but villagers with guns.

During the First Nanyang World War, Lin Fei dispatched a tribal alliance army to kill the Japanese mainland, and at that time Lin Fei thought that Japan might massacre civilians in the Chinese Empire as a retaliation, so Lin Fei decided to carry out the strategy of all-in-one soldiers in the Chinese Empire, and all islands and villages in remote areas were issued with rifles for military training.

Some of these rifles were used by the regular army of the Chinese Empire, and more were captured from the enemy, starting from driving out the Spaniards and then subduing the Vietnamese, Lin Fei captured a lot of rifles, and these guns were idle.

Of course, Lin Fei's doing this also had a huge adverse impact on the future stability of the Chinese Empire, these guns are easy to send, but it is difficult to take them back, the people will not only use these guns when foreign enemies invade, when there are conflicts between each other, they may take out these guns and use them as a means to solve the problem.

However, compared with the slaughter of Chinese compatriots by foreign races, Lin Fei still felt that these things were nothing, so Lin Fei ignored public opinion and fired guns for the people, which had an immeasurable impact on the situation in the future.

Commander Makarov thought that there were regular troops of the Chinese Empire on Beihuangcheng Island, so he ordered the Pacific Fleet to change the attack location and go to Nanhuangcheng Island, but it was the same when he came to Nanhuangcheng Island, not only did he not kill a single Chinese Empire civilian, but instead threw down dozens of corpses.

In a fit of rage, Commander Makarov ordered the warships of the Pacific Fleet to fire shells at the island, flattening all the houses on Nanhuangcheng Island, and then ordered to return to Port Arthur.

At nine o'clock in the morning of December 28, the Pacific Fleet was still 30 kilometers away from Port Arthur, and the cruiser at the forefront of the fleet suddenly hoisted a signal flag, and in the direction of the starboard side of our fleet, the submarine of the Chinese Empire was discovered!

Commander Makarov was amazed, this was the first time that the warships of the great powers had discovered a submarine in a state of surface navigation, and the previous submarines of the Chinese Empire had always been "the first to see their torpedoes."

Commander Makarov's flagship was the Petropaplovsk-class battleship Celstol, and he hurriedly walked up to the open-air command tower of the Celstopol, raised his binoculars and looked to starboard, only to see a huge cylindrical object floating on the water, and at the front of the cylinder there was something like a tower erected high.

In order to prevent Germany from occupying Jiaozhou Bay, Lin Fei arranged for German admirals to visit the monster-class submarine, and the visit was not allowed to take pictures, but the German admiral carried the latest spy camera produced by Carl 61 Zeiss and secretly took photos of the monster-class submarine.

Commander Makarov recognized at a glance that the Huaxia Empire submarine was a monster-class submarine, and he immediately shouted: "Quick, turn the muzzle, aim at that monster-class submarine, shoot at me, and sink it." ”

The Pacific Fleet immediately entered a combat state, all the gun ports were opened, aimed at the monster-class submarine, just when the Pacific Fleet was about to open fire, the monster-class submarine began to sink, it was like a whale, it sank into the sea with a bang, and disappeared.

The Pacific Fleet couldn't help but slow down when it saw the monster-class submarine sinking into the sea and preparing to open fire, and Commander Makarov hurriedly ordered: "Don't stop, hurry, keep firing, our shells are still lethal at a hundred meters underwater, it's enough to kill that monster-class submarine!" ”

Commander Makarov is right, ordinary bullets are still lethal at a depth of 30 meters, and armor-piercing shells and high-explosive grenades have a greater effective killing depth.

The Pacific Fleet then increased the speed of preparing to open fire, and the Petropaplovsk-class battleships and Alexander II-class battleships were too slow to turn their main guns, so they chose to fire with secondary guns.

The 152-mm secondary guns on the Petropaplovsk-class battleships and the nine- and six-inch secondary guns on the Alexander II-class battleships roared, and columns of water rose from where the monster-class submarine had disappeared.

Commander Makarov was worried about being attacked by the monster-class submarine, so he ordered the Pacific Fleet to speed up while firing guns, the speed of the monster-class submarine was much slower than that of the Russian warships, as long as the Pacific Fleet accelerated, the monster-class submarine could not catch up.

Seeing that the Pacific Fleet was speeding up and was about to move away from the area of engagement, suddenly a large number of messy things floated in the water, including clothes, wooden bowls, wooden basins, etc., and even a huge blood and fire dragon flag, the national flag of the Chinese Empire.

The monster-class submarine was sunk.

The Pacific Fleet actually sank a monster-class submarine of the Chinese Empire!

Commander Makarov was very excited, this is the first time that a surface warship of a great power has sunk a monster-class submarine, although the monster-class submarine has been sunk before, but it was sunk by a mine, it doesn't count.

Commander Makarov immediately thought that now he must go back to collect evidence that the monster-class submarine was sunk, otherwise all countries in the world will not believe it, the British captured Qin Hui, the commander of the monster-class submarine force, and earned enough glory, and today we Russians will have such glory.
