Ito Yuheng replied: "The appearance of the Chinese Imperial Navy in Penghu should be to attack Penghu, we will search the waters around Penghu, and we will definitely find the Chinese Imperial Fleet." ”

Heihachiro Togo nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, my subordinates understand..."

Ito then said: "Now let me arrange the formation, we have a total of six battleships, six torpedo boats, I divided the fleet into three parts, the first part, consisting of the Naniwa, Akitsuzu and Takachiho, is the first guerrilla group, by the captain of the Takachiho, Nomura Sadaosa as the commander, your task is to search forward for the Huaxia Imperial fleet, and after discovering the enemy fleet, carry out a roundabout attack. ”

The captain of the Takachiho ship, Sadashi Nomura, stood up and said solemnly: "Yes, my subordinates understand. ”

Ito Yuheng nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "The second part, consisting of the Matsushima ship, the Itsukushima ship, and the Hashidate ship, is the main fleet team, and the fleet commander Togo Heihachiro is the commander, and your task is to annihilate the Huaxia Imperial fleet with the most powerful firepower after discovering it..."

Ito's formation was the same as in the Battle of the Yellow Sea, in which Ito divided the combined fleet into his own team and the guerrillas, but the guerrillas at that time had the most advanced cruisers...... The Yoshino ship, at this time, the Yoshino ship has been sleeping at the bottom of the sea.

The three warships of the guerrilla force were all high-speed warships with a speed of about 18 knots, while the warships of this team had a maximum speed of only 16 knots, and their speeds in battle could reach a maximum of 14 to 15 knots.

In battle, warships with similar speeds can coordinate their actions, and there will be no situation where fast ships will accommodate slow ships, and Ito Yuhiro discharged such a formation, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Japanese fleet, and the victory of the Japanese fleet in the naval battle in the Yellow Sea is not unrelated to such a formation arrangement.

After Ito finished talking about the formation arrangement of the main battleships, he looked at the commander of the torpedo boat fleet in the back row, the Navy Shozo, Suzuki Makoto, Suzuki Makoto is the rank of Shosa, among these captains, he is the youngest and the most fanatical about the emperor.

Ito Yuhyung looked at Makoto Suzuki and said: "The third part, consisting of six torpedo boats, is the main team of torpedo boats, with Makoto Suzuki as the commander, and your task is to ......"

"Our mission is to...... Sacrificing his life, swearing allegiance to the emperor, and sinking the enemy ship with a torpedo..."Makoto Suzuki didn't wait for Ito to finish speaking, he stood up and hurriedly spoke. The effective distance of torpedoes in this era was only more than 500 meters, so the torpedo boats launched almost all suicide attacks, and even if the torpedo could hit the enemy ship, he would not be able to return, so Suzuki Makoto said "sacrifice his life and be loyal to the emperor".

Ito Yuhyung saw that Makoto Suzuki interrupted his words, and instead of being angry, he was happy, and said with a smile: "Very good, as the commander of the torpedo boat fleet, you must have this kind of fearless spirit..."

After Ito Yuheng finished speaking, he ordered: "Okay, let's go back and rest, early tomorrow morning, we will set off to find the Huaxia Imperial fleet and have a decisive battle with the main force." ”

Everyone dispersed, and at the same time, Lin Fei had already led the Tianlong Ship, the Cloud Dragon Ship, and the Pangu Ship back to the temporary berth...... Cloth bag mouth.

Budaizui is close to Penghu, is one of Taiwan's natural harbors, in the Lin Fei era of the Japanese invasion of Taiwan, the second division landed from here, directly behind the Taiwanese rebels, so that the Taiwanese rebels collapsed.

Lin Fei returned to the shore to rest, first transferred the Tenglong ship, the submarine ship, and the Nuwa ship from Dagou Port, and then thought about the follow-up battle, now that he had intercepted and killed the Japanese transport fleet, and also severely damaged the Japanese ship Chiyoda, the Japanese main fleet should be very concerned about itself, and the decisive battle of the main fleet is imperative.

In the 16th century, the British fleet defeated the Spanish Armada, and the hegemon Spain fell, and Britain rose rapidly as a new generation of hegemon; At the end of the 19th century, Japan defeated the Qing Beiyang Fleet and opened the door to Asian domination, and the Qing Kingdom fell a dozen years later.

Thinking of this, Lin Fei couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, he once again sorted out the strength of the enemy and us, Japan has six main warships, and he has four, Japan has the advantage in the number of artillery and the tonnage of the battleships, and it has the advantage in the communication system, the rate of fire of the artillery, the power of the shells and the fire control system, and the chances of winning are very large, but there is no 100% certainty of victory.

Lin Fei was reluctant to fight a battle that he was not sure of winning, so he regretted launching a decisive battle of the main fleet at this time, but he quickly thought that it would not work if he did not launch a decisive battle of the main fleet now, and the Japanese army had already started the plan to land in southern Taiwan.

Lin Fei took a deep breath, stood up, and paced around the room, when the attendant Jin Ming came in and said, "Your Majesty, Chen Jingui, the head of the General Logistics Department, has arrived. ”

Lin Fei hurriedly said, "Hurry up and invite him in." ”

Chen Jingui walked in, and as soon as he saw Lin Fei, he said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I have already sent you the decisive weapon you wanted." ”

Lin Fei's eyes lit up instantly, and he said, "Great, with the decisive weapon, this main fleet duel, my chances of winning have greatly increased..."

Chen Jingui said with a smile: "I have shipped a lot of decisive weapons, enough for you to use, speaking of this decisive weapon, thanks to Minister Ling, if she hadn't organized workers to make them overnight, there wouldn't be so many decisive weapons." ”

When Lin Fei heard Chen Jingui mention Ling Xue, his heart couldn't help but soften, and asked, "Xue'er, how is she doing?" ”

"See for yourself how she is." Chen Jingui said and took out a pile of Wen Jiàn from his bag and said, "These are the situation reports of the empire, and finally the letter from Minister Ling, she specially instructed me to hand it over to you personally." ”

Lin Fei touched Ling Xue's letter with his hand, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Why is it so thick? "It turned out that the letter was more than five inches thick, and the envelope was about to break.

Chen Jingui smiled, made an expression of "how could I know", and said with a smile: "If it's okay, I'll leave first." ”

Lin Fei agreed, Chen Jingui said goodbye, Lin Fei first tore up Ling Xue's letter, only to find that it was not a letter paper at all, but a thick pile of letter paper, each piece of paper had a date written on it, from the day the two separated to the day the letter was sent, a day did not fall.

Lin Fei looked at the content of the letter paper and realized that Ling Xue had written down everything that happened every day and her own mood in the letter, and of course, her longing, Ling Xue's sense of dependence on him made his heart heat up, and secretly thought that this battle could not be lost no matter what.

Lin Fei finished reading the report on the situation of the empire again, then fell asleep, and the next day, the Tenglong ship, the submarine dragon ship and the Nuwa ship all came to Budaikou, Lin Fei immediately gathered the six captains for a meeting, at which Lin Fei said solemnly: "I don't need to say much about the importance of this decisive battle of the main fleet, everyone knows it very well, now I will talk about the specific way to fight." ”

Everyone listened attentively, Lin Fei pointed to the map of Taiwan and Penghu and said: "In order to defend Penghu, enemy ships are bound to cruise around Penghu, so our ships are operating near Penghu to find the Japanese fleet for a decisive battle. ”

"Our fleet has a great advantage, that is, the radio communication equipment, that is, the Blue Bird machine, we can report what we see at any time, in order to fully develop this advantage, I decided to adopt the method of single ship dispersed reconnaissance, the Japanese Navy does not have the Blue Bird machine, and the Chiyoda ship has been heavily damaged by me in the way of more fights and fewer fights, so they must not dare to disperse their actions, so one of our warships can discover their entire fleet."

"No matter which warship finds an enemy ship, don't engage the enemy, immediately report to the fleet commander, that is, me, and I will use the blue bird machine to coordinate the actions of each ship, seize the formation advantage, and then launch an attack."

The captains of the six battleships all nodded again and again, and Lin Fei continued: "I also want to emphasize one point, that is, regarding the use of decisive weapons, I want to save decisive weapons for the most critical time, so no matter which battleship encounters an enemy ship, it is not allowed to use decisive weapons, understand?" ”

The six captains replied in unison, "Understood..."

Lin Fei looked at Shangguan Yunlong, the captain of the Tenglong Ship, and said solemnly: "You are the most impulsive, don't make a mistake for me." ”

Shangguan Yunlong saw Lin Fei call his name, his face was ashamed, and he hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely not ask questions." ”

Lin Fei nodded slightly, and turned his head to the captain of the Nuwa ship, the original captain of the Nuwa ship was Shangguan Yunlong, and later Shangguan Yunlong was transferred to the captain of the Tenglong ship, and the captain of the Nuwa ship was served by a naval cadet named Gu Pengsong, Lin Fei said: "In this battle, the Nuwa ship stayed at Budaikou and was not allowed to fight. ”

The cadets taught by Lin Fei's naval academy were all active and belligerent, and Gu Pengsong suddenly looked puzzled when he heard Lin Fei's words, and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let our Nuwa ship go to war?" ”

Gu Pengsong said and pointed at Yuan Bochao, the captain of the Pangu ship, and said aggrievedly: "The Pangu ship is a whaling ship that can fight, but the Nuwa ship is a serious warship..."

Lin Fei said coldly: "The Pangu ship is not a warship but a camouflage, the Japanese will not waste shells to hit it, so it is not dangerous, and the Nuwa ship is a warship, the speed is only thirteen knots, and the artillery is still the old guns of the Spaniards, in front of the Japanese warships with a speed of seventeen or eighteen knots, isn't it a live target?" ”

Gu Pengsong wanted to say more, Lin Fei's eyes widened, and he said, "Execute the order..."

Gu Pengsong lowered his head and said "understood", Lin Fei said "um", and said to everyone: "Okay, let's go back and prepare, we will set off tomorrow." ”
