"The Japanese are a little less courageous, so can't they try to see if they will be shot? Maybe we can force us to show our original form! ”

Yang Hao couldn't watch a good show, and felt a little unpleasant, so he was scolded by Yang Haiwei, smashing it, smashing it, so he had to stop temporarily. Then again, the Japanese really killed them, and they actually didn't have a problem. With a torpedo boat with only one veteran of Yang Haiwei and a 76mm gun, it was impossible to win at all.

We still have to hurry up and get more ships and more weapons and equipment!

Yang Hao counted with his fingers, the time when the other eight steamships were launched, and the speed of the production of naval guns. If you can gather all ten of them, all of them are equipped with World War II-level 76mm guns, or contemporary 150mm rapid-fire guns, and then have torpedo tubes, you can attack in groups, or you can gnaw at the Japanese ships with wolf pack tactics.

The transformation workshop of Langya Shipyard has been completed, and the 120mm and 150mm imitation artillery materials picked up from the Jiangnan Heavy Industry database are already in production.

After the plant and equipment are projected to the B plane, as long as the workers are complete, it should not be a big problem to use them to make their own advanced artillery!

The key is torpedoes, there are really no masters in the East at the moment, it seems that we still have to try to scavenge a weapon research team from foreign countries in this world!

The three gunboats closely pursued the Japanese fleet advancing at a speed of 10 knots, and ran for almost an hour, making sure that the other party had no intention of turning back to find fault, so they dragged the X201 back to guard, Yang Hao took two steam boats at full power, crossed the Japanese fleet, and rushed to the north at a speed of 25 knots.

In the early morning of June 8, after entering the mouth of the Han River, the two boats raised the American flag, slowed down, and drove up the river with black smoke driven by a steam engine.

Yang Hao took a hasty nap in the paint-smelling cabin. After waking up, he stood on the deck in the wet morning breeze, looked up at the cloudy sky, and teased: "It's really a mountain rain that is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, the situation is urgent, and God is on the pole to join in the fun, hehe, it's getting more and more interesting." ”

At this moment, the lookout post on the top of the mast shouted: "A steamboat has been spotted ahead!" Loaded on it, it seems to be Japanese soldiers! ”

"Oh? Japs run so fast? But it's not surprising, with their style of shooting first and then warning, the vanguard should be almost there. Yang Hao perked up and waved his arm vigorously, "Accelerate forward, lean over and take a look!" ”

"Yes!" The temporary captain in his twenties, who was in charge of the operation for the first time, was as excited, and agreed loudly, ordering the engine room to be filled with coal. The high-quality anthracite coal bought by the world for 730 yuan a ton was fiercely loaded into the furnace of the 1,000-horsepower steam engine boiler with a large shovel, and a puff of smoke rushed out of the chimney in the middle and then faded.

The 200-ton steel welded hull, specially optimized to adapt to the harsh sea conditions of the north, is as light and elegant as a barracuda, and quickly accelerates to more than 15 knots, and the bow collides with a fierce splash, and sprints forward with great momentum!

This speed, in terms of inland waterway shipping, is already a bit frustrating! It didn't take long for Yang Hao to stand at the bow of the boat and clearly see the steamboat slowly rubbing forward.

At this time, the other party had also discovered two strange guys behind them with simple and elegant shapes, as fast as galloping horses. Squadron Leader Nari Matachiro, a Japanese Navy captain who was blowing the wind on the deck, didn't feel anything at first, but when he saw the American flag fluttering clearly, his heart became nervous! At this juncture, what are the Americans coming to do?

His position is too low to know too much about the high-end situation, but he also knows that the empire is facing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and this plan will not allow any mistakes!

Moreover, he and the four field guns on the ship, the entire field artillery team, are an important weight to ensure the victory of His Excellency the ambassador in the operation in Seoul, if something goes wrong, the impact is not ordinary!

He and some soldiers ran to the side of the "Shunming" steamboat to look back, but they were being looked at by Yang Haotong's telescope. Yang Hao, who was already holding back a bad stomach, laughed, turned around and shouted at the captain: "Do you dare to get closer to them and set off a wave for them?!" ”

The young captain grinned, and his seemingly innocent face swelled: "What don't you dare?" Sir, you stand firm, brothers, work harder, rush! ”

A diesel engine roared and joined the propulsion, and the gunboat speed was again increased to 18 knots, 20 knots, and still soaring!

Fame and Hachiro and a group of artillerymen watched as two strange boats, like sharks, jumped up against the water, slapping the waves with a bang, and chasing their tails like arrows approaching rapidly!

He instinctively felt that the other party's actions were strange, and the shape of the ship, no matter how you look at it, is also a torpedo boat or a mosquito gunboat, and it is by no means a civilian ship, and it is going to catch up with Japan's most agile "Yoshino ship" at such a fast speed!

"Ahhh What are they doing here? Bastard, hurry up and signal to them, if you don't get it, you're going to bump into it! ”

Seeing the other party chasing after him brutally, Fame and Fortune Hachiro were terrified, and shouted loudly to the sailors of the steamboat to make a signal. The signalman lying on the top was sweating in fright, and he used all his strength to wave the small flag as hard as he could, but there was no response. Seeing this, Yang Hao stood on the bow of the boat with his legs crossed, revealing two rows of white teeth, smiling hideously, and raised his hand at them to make a shooting pose!

"Boom!"

The X202 speedboat is like a fast knife, grazing the side of the "Shunming" steamboat less than five meters away! The waves that hit against the current during the rapid sprint lifted the wall of water like a mountain and slapped the opponent's side!

The hull of the "Shunming", which was not much bigger than them, trembled violently, pushing the waves left and right, and when they were caught off guard, Fame and fortune Youhachiro and several soldiers stumbled to the ground to the ground!

Before they could struggle, the X203 boat that had caught up with them passed by from the other side, and the waves that set off made the "Shunming", which had just deflected back, more than 30 degrees tilt when it landed!

Originally, it was just a ferry for inland waterway shipping, and its resistance to wind and waves and stability were worse than that of sea vessels, and such a large angle was enough to make them lose their balance. The starboard side of the boat suddenly saw the water, and was swept up by the turbulent water waves, and fell into the surging Han River with people rolling all over the ground!

Not only that, but the four 70mm field guns tied to the back also broke ropes and fell into the water. The soldiers in the cabin danced and staggered, hitting their heads and bleeding!

They didn't bother to condemn the perpetrators, and the surviving soldiers clutched their hats and cried out heartbreakingly: "The captain has fallen into the water!" Stop the boat and save people! ”

Yang Hao looked back and saw it clearly, and laughed: "Cool! Dog's day little devil, let's teach you a lesson first! ”

Inside and outside the two gunboats, the young people who are not afraid of big things are jubilant!

Yang Haocai was not afraid that the Japanese would make trouble, he was flying the American flag, and if he wanted to condemn him, he had to go to the Americans first. Moreover, his ship will not show up in the various ports of the Qing Kingdom at all, and let these grandchildren suspect it, it can cause them a little trouble, yes, how can they let their thoughts be cleared!

This scene made other ships up and down the river see it in real, but none of them dared to come up to uphold justice. Whether it is the Americans or the Japanese, they can't afford to provoke, it's too late to hide!

Slowing down again to 10 knots, the two boats drove for three hours to the Yongsan pier in Seoul.

Yang Hao stretched his arms and legs, moved a few times, jumped off the boat, and the two people who had been waiting here immediately hurried to catch up, clasped their fists and smiled: "Mr. Yang came so fast!" We thought we'd have to wait until noon. ”

Yang Hao smiled and returned the salute: "If you don't hurry up, you can't do it, a large group of enemy soldiers behind you are about to arrive." Ding Cheng, it's okay here, right? ”

"Fortunately, I didn't lose my life!"

The leader is only twenty years old, but his face shows the maturity and stability of ordinary people, hearing Yang Hao's words, his eyes flashed, and he beckoned others to help unload the goods from the ship, leading the way in front of his head, leading Yang Hao and Liu Dafu and a few others to the courtyard separated from the dock.

Here, it is the outpost battle established by Yang Hao as early as the end of April. Before the publication of "Guowen Bao", he gained a foothold in Tianjin, and arranged for someone to come over and make preparations as soon as possible.

The two people who came out were the backbone of the company who took the lead in working here, and the leader was named Ding Weifen, who was only 20 years old this year. In the original trajectory, he would go to Japan nine years later to follow Sun Dacang, become a veteran of the League, the leader of the Lu Provincial Revolutionary Party, a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang, and the head of the Central Training Department of the Kuomintang.

However, in the time and space of Yang's arrival, since he was a child, he was dissatisfied with the Manchu Qing Dynasty because he was not the first in the imperial examination, and he could only be a private school Mr. Ding's father Ding Weifen was the first to come into contact with Yang Hao, and the first batch of readers who could be called revolutionary and progressive books in this year, and in the Mashan base for more than a month, his ears and eyes were exposed, his thinking changed greatly, and he took the initiative to join the camp.

Although the Yang family did not express their intention to rebel, the father and son of the Ding family had already seen the clues. At the beginning of the preparation for the establishment of the "Guowen Bao", Ding Weifen took the initiative to invite Ying, as the first batch of expatriate reporters, to come to the most dangerous North Korea to fight the front station and establish the first overseas intelligence base.

Externally, it is the comprador identity of Yanhua Foreign Company. Renting a wharf to make a warehouse, interviewing Yuan Shikai to collect intelligence, he did it. In just one month, the whole person has been sharpened like a sword!

After entering the house, the surrounding vigilance was dispersed, and Ding Weifen couldn't hide his excitement and asked: "Mr. Yang, has the Japanese army already moved?" ”

Yang Hao swept the few people who were also eager to try left and right, and nodded vigorously: "Not only action, but the first batch of troops they sent is estimated to be able to reach Longshan today!" Soon this will become a battlefield! ”
