The sky was overcast, and the sea was stacked with waves.

Since the withdrawal of the Naniwa, there are only seven warships left in the fleet. The Beiyang Naval Division still had eight main warships, and the fleet was suddenly at a disadvantage.

At 5:20 a.m., after losing the command of the flagship Matsushima for a long time, the combined fleet greatly reduced its combat strength, and the morale of the military began to waver.

At 5:30, when Zhiyuan finished replenishing and was about to return to the battlefield with the Jiyuan ship, the Jiaolong suddenly surfaced next to the Zhiyuan ship, which immediately startled everyone.

"What's that?"

"Water Demon, huh?"

"I think it's a turtle!"

"Is there a turtle that big?"

"It looks like a big crab, you see it has two big pincers!"

……

The officers and men of the Zhiyuan ship came to watch, and there were different opinions, and soon Deng Shichang came to the side of the gunwale, and it happened that Wang Chenhao opened the hatch and poked his head out.

"Who are you?" Deng Shichang suddenly shouted, and when the sailors of the Zhiyuan ship saw someone, someone immediately aimed their machine guns at Wang Chenhao.

Wang Chenhao was startled, secretly saying that he was a little reckless, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't shoot!" It's your own people! ”

At this time, the men of the Great Qing Kingdom all wore braids, and Wang Chenhao's half-inch head was "not my race" in Deng Shichang's eyes. But listening to Wang Chenhao's language and accent is completely from the capital, Deng Shichang is a little puzzled.

"Isn't it said that this is a fine one?" Deng Shichang then frightened and tempted him.

Wang Chenhao suddenly burst the beans and said loudly: "I said uncle!" I have a father and a mother, how do I look like an uneducated devil? ”

Wang Chenhao's swearing words without dirty words immediately won the unanimous approval of all the officers and men of the Zhiyuan ship.

Deng Shichang was just testing Wang Chenhao, and the suspicion in his heart was half gone at this moment.

"It's not just me!" Deng Shichang asked, "Then who are you?" What are you doing here? And how did your machine get out of the water? ”

Wang Chenhao rolled his eyes, Deng Shichang asked him so many questions at once, but now was not the time to chat.

"My name is Wang Chenhao, it doesn't matter who you are, the important thing is that I specially brought my submarine back this time to help you fight!"

Submarine? Deng Shichang seems to have seen it. As for fighting......

Deng Shichang said with a smile: "Little doll, did you come to fight when your hair grows?" ”

Everyone burst into laughter at one sentence, and a row of black lines suddenly flew across Wang Chenhao's forehead, which was very unhappy.

Maybe it's because ancient men don't have modern men who can take care of it, and they don't eat well, so in Deng Shichang's opinion, the pink and tender Wang Chenhao is at most sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Hey! It's not my fault that I'm young! ”

Everyone continued to laugh, and Wang Chenhao suddenly sweated profusely.

"I don't have time to talk to you, uncle, you hurry up and take the Zhiyuan ship to the northeast, where the Naniwa will stop for maintenance! You can sink it in no time! ”

Deng Shichang glanced into the distance and said with a smile: "The little doll still knows a lot!" The Naniwa stopped there, but before we could get there, he ran away! ”

"It can't run, I've wrapped all the anchors of the Yoshino around the Naniwa's oars and rudders, and as soon as it starts, it will immediately screw off the propellers and rudders!"

"Is that true?"

"It's more real than real gold! Go for it! Strive to make another big achievement! ”

Deng Shichang suddenly became excited, if this is the case, it is simply a big bargain.

It's just, is the little doll in front of you credible? Isn't there a fraud? How can there be such good things in the world?

"How can I trust you? Little doll, don't think that you can talk about it at a young age! I can cure you too! ”

Wang Chenhao rolled his eyes and said, "I said uncle, others don't believe me, you have to believe me!" I just helped you sink the Yoshino! ”

Deng Shichang frowned and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Wang Chenhao pointed at the Jiaolong and said, "My Jiaolong can sail underwater, but I blew up the chrysanthemum of the Yoshino to make it unable to move, so that you can sink it with a torpedo?" Otherwise do you think it's so easy to sink the Yoshino? ”

Deng Shichang didn't understand what was called the chrysanthemum that exploded the Yoshino, but he heard it later.

"No wonder the Yoshino suddenly stopped! You did it! ”

Wang Chenhao nodded and said, "That's right!" I've done the same thing to stop the Naniwa now, so go ahead! Otherwise, let someone else sink the Naniwa in a while, but it won't be your share! ”

"Lift anchor and start the ship now!" After Deng Shichang understood the ins and outs of the matter, he immediately believed Wang Chenhao's words, hurriedly returned to the command platform, and ordered the Zhiyuan ship to return to the battlefield.

"Dizzy! Don't say thank you either! Wang Chenhao pursed his lips and saw that all the officers and men of the Zhiyuan ship had returned to their respective positions, so he also returned to the Jiaolong.

Soon, the Zhiyuan ship sailed out of the shallow water area and headed straight for the Naniwa in the northeast direction.

Fang Boqian, the leader of the Jiyuan ship, still thought about grinding for a while, and it was best to wait until the end of the battle before going back, but Deng Shichang had already led the Zhiyuan ship back to the battlefield.

As a last resort, Fang Boqian had no choice but to order the Jiyuan ship to follow back to the battlefield.

Unexpectedly, the Zhiyuan ship did not return to the formation, but rushed straight to the Langsu in the distance, Fang Boqian didn't know about Wang Chenhao, so he didn't dare to follow the past, and returned to the formation alone.

The combat power and speed of the Jiyuan ship are very strong, and after joining the battle group, the fleet is suddenly unbearable.

At 5:40, the 305 main guns of the twin twin on the port side of the bow of the Dingyuan ship attacked the ship Gao Chiho in front of the sudden attack, and one of the shots hit the front main gun of the Gao Chiho, which was destroyed instantly, causing more than a dozen casualties in the surrounding area. A fire broke out immediately, and the fire produced a large amount of black smoke, which hindered Takachiho from continuing to fight and affected the firing range, so that Takachiho had to withdraw from the battle.

Ito Yuhyung looked up to the sky and sighed, knowing that the first decisive battle of the Nakayu Navy was a defeat, so in order to preserve the combat strength, he ordered Matsushima to approach the Itsukushima, informed Yokoo Michiyu to raise the flagship command flag, and ordered a retreat.

Soon, the Itsukushima raised the flagship command flag and then ordered the ships to retreat. When the other ships saw that Matsushima was the first to retreat, they also withdrew.

Lin Taizeng wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but first, the speed was not as fast as the ship, and secondly, the ammunition was in a hurry, and he only suffered a loss if he continued to fight.

In addition, the reason why the Beiyang Naval Division was able to block the siege of the ships was mainly because it had learned a lesson and did not disperse its forces. Once pursued, the ships are old and different, and the speed difference is too large, and they are afraid that they will be ambushed by the ships, and then they will be attacked.

Lin Tai, who was more conservative, once accepted it when he saw it, so he chose to end the fight.

When the navy was defeated and fled, the Naniwa was also notified, but the Naniwa, which was far away from the war zone, was the most sad, because it could no longer go at the moment.

When the Naniwa boiler was repaired and re-ignited, it was jammed by the iron anchor because the propeller and rudder were stuck, and soon after the boiler was pressurized, the rotating shaft became rapidly heated due to the oars being stuck and did not turn, and it broke off at high temperature after more than ten seconds.

As a result, the Naniwa could not run at all.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and when Naniwa was looking for the reason, at this time, the Zhiyuan ship came, and the captain of the Naniwa, Togo Heihachiro, was suddenly extremely sad and knew that he would definitely die.

At 5:50, Heihachiro Togo ordered to open the valve to the sea, and the wave sank quickly.

Then Togo Heihachiro led the officers and men of the whole ship to jump into the sea to prepare for collective suicide, but Wang Chenhao arrived with the Jiaolong, and a pair of big pincers suddenly began to torture and kill the army in the sea.

Heihachiro Togo and the others were suddenly stupid, thinking that the Jiaolong was a sea monster, and they didn't want to commit suicide anymore, so they hurriedly called for help.

Deng Shichang didn't want to save them, he was happy to watch Wang Chenhao torture and kill himself, but unfortunately the main battlefield had ceased fighting. The warships of the observation group of the great powers, such as the French ship Rianmen, the German ship Elidas, and the British ship Bobbs, drove over, and Deng Shichang did not want to give the powers a word of accusation, so he hurriedly stopped Wang Chenhao and sent people to rescue Togo Heihachiro and others.

Togo Heihachiro became a prisoner, which made Wang Chenhao very unhappy. He knew that this guy would be very powerful in the future and would become the enemy of the Chinese Navy, so he wanted to get rid of him, but unfortunately he was preempted by Deng Shichang's people and rescued him.

Subsequently, Wang Chenhao was invited by Deng Shichang to follow the Zhiyuan ship to the front of the formation.

Soon, Deng Shichang told Wang Chenhao about it to Admiral Ding Ruchang.

Ding Ruchang was surprised and immediately regarded Wang Chenhao as a great hero of the Beiyang Naval Division, regardless of his own injury, he personally came out to preside over the welcome ceremony and invited Wang Chenhao to the Dingyuan ship.
