Chapter 113: Revenge
"Commander, this sea area ahead is the most dangerous sea area nearby, and it is full of reefs, should we continue to pursue?" Zhang Haitian pointed to the sea in front of him and said with a frown.
"Yes!" Yu Kun nodded slightly, "In order to pursue the Yoshino, we don't need to take this risk. Let's deal with the next two first! Ordering Zhenhai, Jinghai immediately turned the rudder and detoured back to the back of Naniwa and Qiujinzhou. Flank the flagship on both sides, and take out an enemy ship first. "This naval battle lasted for a long time, and Yu Kun was still very anxious about not being able to sink an enemy ship.
"Turn the rudder left!" Yu Kun took one last look at Yoshino in the distance, and swore to himself that if I touched it next time, I would definitely sink you.
From this moment on, the balance of victory had been completely tilted in favor of the Tiger Army. Due to the heavy damage to Yoshino, he has left the battlefield. Gao Chiho also ignited a fire and was hiding aside to concentrate on fighting the fire. At this time, there were only two Japanese ships left on the battlefield, Naniwa and Akitsuzu, which were at an absolute disadvantage.
Togo Heihachiro only cared about covering Yoshino, but he didn't expect to unknowingly send himself into the mouth of the tiger, under the siege of three warships such as the Celestial Empire, Akitsu Island soon ignited the fire again, and then a cannonball successfully hit the Akitsu Island ammunition depot, causing a violent explosion, the violent explosion almost tore Akitsu Island in half, a large amount of sea water rolled in, and in less than ten minutes, Akitsu Island sank into the boiling sea.
Togo Heihachiro's wave speed was not much better, and he was also hit hard at this time, seeing that Akitsu Island had sunk. Naniwa had lost the courage to fight again, and immediately turned his head and fled. But at this time, it was too late to escape, the speed of the wave was not Yoshino, the speed was only 18 knots, the speed of the Heavenly Empire was comparable, slower than Zhenhai and Jinghai, this is just thinking of escaping, where is it too late! Soon he followed in the footsteps of Akitsu and sank to the bottom of the sea.
After sinking two Japanese ships in succession, Takachiho and Yoshino took the opportunity to flee far away. Yu Kun thought that it would be difficult to achieve any big results if he continued to fight, so he ordered to return.
"Great! Sinking Naniwa and Akitsu Island, and sinking two Japanese troop carriers, you said that this time to go back, how will Lord Ren reward us? In the command room of the Celestial Empire, Zhang Haitian said to Kun with a smile.
"What reward do you want?" The battle was over, and the results were quite good, and Yu Kun also showed a rare smile of understanding.
"Well! I'm not very demanding, just give us one more cruiser! Zhang Haitian said after thinking about it.
"It's not high!" Yu Kun smiled and shook his head.
"If we have four warships, I can guarantee that none of the first guerrillas of the little devil will be able to run away today!" Zhang Haitian said excitedly.
Yu Kun just nodded noncommittally and did not speak.
After the fleet returned to Incheon Port, Yu Kun and the others had just gotten off the ship, and they saw a young general in a yellow coat on the pier, standing on the trestle and looking at him with a smile, this person was Ren Chao. Yu Kun was shocked, and hurriedly took Zhang Haitian and others off the boat to meet him.
"See Lord Ren under the mark!" Yu Kun walked forward quickly and saluted.
Ren Chao hurriedly helped Yu Kun up, and said with a smile, "Commander Yu doesn't need to be polite, I am here to welcome our heroes back in triumph." When the naval battle was going on, Ren Chao was still in Seoul, and suddenly received a notification from the system, Ren Chao was overjoyed, so he hurried to Incheon Port to personally welcome the return of the fleet.
"A few months ago, it was in the waters of Toshima that the Japanese invaders sank our Beiyang Naval Division Guangyi, captured the gunboat Caojiang, and sank our troop transport Gaosheng! And today you are here for Guang Yi and Gao Sheng. In the first battle of Dadonggou, five battleships of the Beiyang Naval Division were sunk, and hundreds of soldiers were on the battlefield, and almost all of these five battleships were sunk by the first guerrilla force of the Japanese Combined Fleet! Now you have avenged them! Also in this Toshima Island, you won a great victory with three enemies and four enemies, and successfully sank the Japanese ships Yoshino, Naniwa, and Akitsuzu! All of you are heroes, national heroes! From today onwards, you will be called the Jiaolong Fleet, and I hope that you will make persistent efforts to promote your prestige overseas and reinvigorate the majesty of our country. Ren Chao said impassionedly to Kun.
"What, Yoshino is sinking too!" Yu Kun asked suspiciously.
"Sunk!" Ren Chao nodded affirmatively and said, "But the Yoshino hit the reef and sank!" After the battle, Ren Chao received a list of results from the system, on which Yoshino was impressively listed, but it was written on the back that he was injured and sank on the rocks! Because he was not directly sunk, Ren Chao only got 80% of the points reward, but these are no longer important, the important thing is that Yoshino, who brought endless shame to Huaxia, sank!
It turned out that Yoshino panicked in order to escape for his life that day, and unfortunately crashed into a reef, and a large hole several meters long was torn open again below the waterline, and the boiling sea water rushed in, and the Yoshino, which had been heavily injured, could no longer withstand such a blow, and after less than ten minutes of struggling on the sea surface, it sank to the bottom of the sea very simply. However, at that time, Yu Kun and the others had already returned, so naturally they did not appreciate this very spectacular scene.
After learning the exact news of the sinking of the Yoshino from Ren Chao's mouth, the officers and men of the fleet who had just disembarked immediately burst into enthusiastic cheers! The disappointment of not sinking Yoshino was swept away, and the sailors cheered, celebrating their victory in their own unique way.
Another thing to be happy about is that from today they have a new name, Jiaolong Fleet. They want to protect the maritime frontier of China like a dragon in the sea, defeat an enemy who dares to challenge the power of Huaxia, and expand the territory for China!
In 1840, the British relied on strong ships and cannons, knocking on the door of China for the first time, so that the decaying old empire had to bow his noble head, in 1860, the second ** war broke out, the British and French forces successfully landed at Dagukou under the cover of the naval fleet, and then captured Tianjin, captured Beijing, and burned the Old Summer Palace. It was also under the repeated aggression that the Qing government gradually came to its senses, began to develop the Westernization Movement, built the Beiyang Naval Division, and successfully established a powerful fleet known as the largest in Asia at that time. But the Qing government, which had just made a little achievement, immediately began to be complacent, thinking that in this way they could keep their own country, what they never expected was that the former neighbors had always regarded the Qing Dynasty as the first opponent to be defeated for decades, and for decades they had been thrifty and frugal, and they had finally gradually surpassed the Qing Dynasty and gave the Qing Dynasty a ruthless blow in the First Sino-Japanese War!
Fortunately, Ren Chao came to this time and space because of an accident, and now Ren Chao is beginning to be glad that he came here, at least the history of this time and space is slowly being changed by himself. Ren Chao knew that in order to win this war, it was not enough to rely on his own strength now, and he had to develop a more powerful army and navy in order to defeat Japan in an all-round way!
