Yin Jian, commander of the Bokou garrison fleet, saw that Japan's four all-steel battleships and two large armored cruisers took advantage of the advantage in the firing range of large-caliber naval guns to continuously bombard the eight warships of his own fleet from a distance of more than 6,000 meters, and did not hesitate to shell at all, so that his fleet could only be beaten and could not fight back because of the problem of range, so he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and ordered the eight warships of the entire Bokou garrison fleet to launch an attack on the Japanese warships outside the port of Bokou. Let the 4 destroyers and 2 torpedo boats of his fleet launch a torpedo attack, after all, only rely on naval guns to bombard, and his own berth garrison fleet is really not enough. ⊙ top novel,

In a hidden observation and command post in Bokou Harbor, Wang Youlin, the commander of the 1st Marine Brigade received a telegram from Yin Jian, Wang Youlin gritted his teeth and said to the operator next to him: "Order the shore defense artillery of the fort to hit me hard to cover Yin Jian's attack on the Japanese ships!" ”

Wang Youlin secretly said, if the garrison fleet at the port had 1 or 2 battleships, it would be good if they could cooperate with the 3 batteries and the Japanese ships to carry out a confrontation, so there would be no need to launch such a very dangerous attack, but unfortunately now Yin Jian can only use this kind of attack, in fact, there is another way, that is, the officers and men of the navy give up the 8 small warships and all go ashore, anyway, the Japanese ship's naval guns are helpless against the 3 batteries.

However, Wang Youlin will not say it, Yin Jian and other officers and men of the Northeast Navy will not do that at all, and the honor of the Navy does not allow them to do that.

The 12 large-caliber coastal defense guns in the three batteries on the coast of the port opened fire more fiercely at the Japanese warships, hoping to cover the warships of the garrison fleet at the port of the port to approach the Japanese fleet.

Soon the 8 warships of the garrison fleet at the port approached to a distance of 5,000 meters from the Japanese battleline, and at this time the captain of the all-steel battleship Aoba. It was also the commander of this detachment of the Japanese Navy, Sekiya Rishishi, who had already understood the intention of the garrison fleet at the port of the port, so he ordered four fast protection cruisers, the Tadajun Maru, the Hokoku Maru, the Aikoku Maru, and the Kiyosumi Maru. As well as the destroyers Ray and Electric, crossing the battle line consisting of 4 all-steel battleships and 2 large armored cruisers. Eight warships rushed over to meet the garrison fleet at the port of the berth.

In addition, the large-caliber naval guns of four all-steel battleships and two large armored cruisers also opened heavy fire on the eight warships of the garrison fleet at the berth that were close by, and as the distance between the two sides was pulled, the small-caliber naval guns on the Japanese warships also aimed at the warships of the eight warships of the garrison fleet at the berth.

With a "boom," the destroyer Jade, which was charging at full speed against the Japanese ship, was hit by a 274-millimeter shell, which broke the keel of the destroyer Jade, broke in two, and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea. Returned to the shores of the port of Bokou.

Yin Jian, who was in the bridge of the Yongfeng, saw that the Jade was sunk, his teeth were clenched, and the green tendons on his head protruded, and he shouted loudly: "Open the gun!" Hit hard! ”

The Yongfeng protective cruiser and the Yongle protective cruiser had already entered the firing range at this time, and the four 152-mm main guns of the Yongfeng and the four 138-mm main guns of the Yongle finally began to fire shells at the Japanese ships, and the two protective cruisers concentrated their fire on the four fast protection cruisers and two destroyers that the Japanese Navy rushed out to intercept.

Subsequently, the protective cruisers Yongfeng and Yongle did not continue to approach the Japanese ships, but attracted the fire of the Japanese ships at a distance of about 4,000 meters. And constantly firing artillery to cover the other 3 destroyers and 2 torpedo boats continue to approach the Japanese ships.

When the destroyers and torpedo boats of the garrison fleet at the port approached 2,000 meters from the battle line of the Japanese ships, only the destroyers Emerald and the torpedo boats of the Little Exocet remained, and the destroyers Pearl, Pearl, and Big Exocet were all sunk by Japanese shells on the way of the charge.

The officers and men on the destroyer Emerald and the torpedo boat of the Exocet have already lost their eyes, and they are no longer at risk for their own safety. At a distance of 2,000 meters, they continued to approach the Japanese battleline at full speed while firing torpedoes, hoping to fire torpedoes at close range at all-steel battleships or large fast armored cruisers, the main warships of the Japanese Navy. In the end, the destroyer Emerald was sunk by the Japanese ships at a distance of 1,500 meters from the battle line, after the Exocet torpedo boat had fired the 12 torpedoes it was carrying. Sunk during the retreat.

The Yongle protective cruiser was also directly slashed by a 305-mm shell, piercing the Yongle's waterline armor. After a deafening explosion, the Yongle protective cruiser was blown into two pieces and quickly sank to the bottom of the sea, and all 210 officers and men of the Northeast Navy on the Yongle died heroically.

Only the damaged Yongfeng protective cruiser retreated to the surface of the water several hundred meters from the coast of Bokou Port under the continuous bombardment of Japanese naval fire, but the condition of the Yongfeng protective cruiser was very bad, and it was said that it was scarred, and there was smoke several tens of meters high on the warship.

In a fierce battle of less than one hour, seven warships of the Marukou garrison fleet were sunk and one was seriously injured, but the commander of the Japanese Navy's detachment outside the port of Maruguchi, Sekiya Rishishi, had a gloomy face like black ink, and although most of the torpedoes fired by the destroyers Emerald and the torpedo boats of the Little Exocet were dodged by the Japanese ships or intercepted by the rapid-fire guns on the Japanese ships, there were still fish that slipped through the net and had close contact with the Japanese ships.

The Asama-class large fast armored cruiser Tama was originally injured by a shell from a 230 mm shore defense gun, which reduced its speed to less than 16 knots, but it was affected when evading a torpedo attack, and was hit by a 460 mm steam gas torpedo fired by the small flying fish torpedo boat, and the rapid-fire guns on the Tama did not intercept the torpedo, and the Japanese naval officers and men on the Tama could only look at the torpedo in horror and hit the waterline armor on the right side of the Tama fiercely.

The Tama waterline armor was only 180 mm to 356 mm, and the 450 mm steam gas torpedo easily penetrated its thickest 356 mm waterline armor and exploded inside the Tama, and the 460 mm steam gas torpedo exploded near a 203 mm main gun ammunition compartment on the Tama.

An even more violent explosion followed. Hundreds of 203-mm shells in the ammunition compartment of the Tama's main gun were detonated by the explosion of the torpedo. Hundreds of 203-millimeter shells exploded, breaking the Tama, a large Asama-class fast armored cruiser with a displacement of 9,700 millimeters, in two. It didn't take five minutes to disappear into the sea, and almost all of the 600 Japanese naval officers and sailors on board the Tama sank to the bottom of the sea with the warship, and many Japanese naval officers and sailors just jumped into the sea and were sucked into the bottom of the sea by the whirlpool generated by the sinking of the warship, and in the end less than 10 people survived.

In addition, the Japanese Navy Kiyosumi Maru fast protection cruiser was hit by a 381-mm steam gas torpedo fired crooked by the destroyer Jade, which was supposed to be fired at an all-steel battleship, but when fired, the destroyer Jadeite was hit by a 203-mm shell. The torpedo launched by the destroyer Jade deviated from the direction, and the result was crooked, penetrating the waterline armor of the bow of the Kiyosumi Maru, and the torpedo exploded in the torpedo chamber of the bow, directly detonating dozens of 457 mm torpedoes, and blowing the bow of the Kiyosumi Maru to pieces at once, and it didn't take long for the 2,135-ton Tadajunmaru-class fast-protection cruiser built by the British to sink to the bottom of the sea.

The Japanese Navy lost not only these 2 warships, but also 1 Aikomaru fast-protection cruiser. While intercepting the destroyers and torpedo boats of the garrison fleet at the berth, they were directly hit by a shell from a 230-mm shore defense gun, and they sank to the bottom of the sea not long after.

The other Japanese warships were all fine, and even if they were hit by shells, they were only slightly damaged. did not affect combat effectiveness.

The battle against the 8 warships of the berland garrison fleet, which was very weak, actually caused its fleet to lose 3 warships, and even 1 large fast armored cruiser. As the commander, it's no wonder that Sekiya Lizhi's face can be good!

On the bridge of the all-steel battleship Aoba, the first mate of the Aoba said to Sekiya Rishi, "Captain. Although we also had some losses, the Northeast Navy fleet in the port of Bokou had been almost wiped out. Is it possible to contact the Army to start launching a beach-grabbing landing war? ”

Guan Gu Lizhi sighed and said: "Contact the army, this is not the time to be embarrassed, our warships will provide fire support for their army, but we can't do anything about the three batteries on the coast." In addition, I ordered our warship to go back another 1,000 meters, further away from the shore defense guns on the coast, I don't want to bring any more losses, the Tama, Kiyosumi Maru, and Aikomimaru are lost here, I don't even know how to explain to His Excellency Commander Togo, alas——"

In a transport ship with a displacement of more than 3,000 tons, the commander of the 25th Division, Shoichi Minagawa, the commander of the 26th Division, Haruo Ueno, and the commander of the 27th Division, Rikumae Ikawa, received a flag from the all-steel battleship Aoba.

Ueno Haruo sneered and said: "This Sekiya is really a waste, dealing with such a weak Northeast Navy in the port of Bokou can also lose 3 imperial warships, the empire's money is really wasted on the navy's group of waste, with the construction cost of these 3 warships, our army can at least train 3 or 4 new divisions." ”

Minagawa Shoichi sighed and said, "Don't complain, let's study how to capture the port of Bokou!" ”

Haruo Ueno shrugged his shoulders and said: "There is only a hard attack, and there is no other good way, as long as our army can attack the coast and gain a foothold, the port of Bokou will almost fall into our hands!" ”

Lu Qianjinghe, the commander of the 27th Division, said at this time: "Mikawa-kun, Ueno-kun, the task of capturing Bokou Port will be completed by our 27th Division!" ”

Minagawa nodded and said, "Okay, Lu Qian-kun, let the navy see the strength of our Great Japanese Army!" ”

Lu Maejinghe said with a stern face: "Our 27th Division must let those arrogant guys in the navy see that our army is the most reliable force in the Japanese Empire." ”

The Japanese transport ship then approached in the direction of the port of Bokou and stopped at a distance of about 10,000 meters, and the transport ship put some of the small boats on board the sea, and Rikumae Ikawa ordered the officers and men of the Japanese Army of one brigade of the 27th Division to board these small boats that had been put down and were originally used as lifeboats, and then the officers and men of the Japanese Army rowed hard to the port of Bokou 10,000 meters away.

The Yongfeng protective cruiser returned to the water surface a few hundred meters away from the coast of Bokou Port with a scar, Yin Jian's eyes were red at this time, and the brothers who were chatting and farting together yesterday have now become yin and yang, and there is not even a corpse left.

Yin Shutang, the captain of the Jade destroyer, is the fifth phase of the teaching team, just 24 years old, is a very shy guy, and said to Yin Jian two days ago that the family introduced him to an object, it is a primary school teacher in his hometown, I heard that it is quite beautiful, Yin Shutang is going to take leave to go home next month to see how the elementary school teacher is?

At that time, Yin Jian laughed and said that he must let Yin Shutang bring a wife back, which made Yin Shutang's face red, but now Yin Shutang has stayed at the bottom of this sea forever with his beloved warship.

There is also the captain of the Little Flying Fish torpedo boat, Lao Chen, who is almost 40 years old this year, was originally a sailor of the torpedo boat of the Beiyang Naval Division, and later all the torpedo boats of the Beiyang Naval Division were included in the naval fleet of the Naval Academy at that time, and the elder Chen has also been the captain of the torpedo boat in recent years, and a while ago the elder Chen was still boasting that his two sons were admitted to the Northeast Navy cadet, and in the future, these old brothers may become the subordinates of his two sons!

And the ...... of the destroyer Pearl

Countless familiar faces flashed in front of Yin Jian, and finally painful tears flowed down his cheeks, Yin Jian couldn't help but ask himself, is it worth it?

It stands to reason that there is a huge disparity between the strength of the enemy and us, and he ordered all the officers and men of the Bokou garrison fleet to abandon their ships and go ashore, and no one would say anything about them, and it was impossible for the higher authorities to punish themselves and the officers and men of the Bokou garrison fleet for the several captured warships of the Bokou garrison fleet.

Before the war, Yin Jian asked all the officers and men of the fleet if anyone was willing to go ashore to assist the marines in defending the port of Bokou, but none of the nearly 1,000 officers and men on the eight warships were willing to leave the warships and would have to fight the Japanese Navy to the end.

Yin Jian wiped the tears on his face with his hand, and ordered loudly: "Do your best to extinguish the fire, drive the Yongfeng to the shallows, and use it as a fixed battery, and our Bokou garrison fleet will fight the Japanese to the end!" (To be continued......)
