After Sun Dingbang joined forces with his neighbor's torpedo boats to take out the enemy gunboat, a sail cruiser in front blocked the way. At this time, Sun Dingbang still had one torpedo left. If you want to get close to the enemy flagship, you must take out the cruiser in front of you. Sun Dingbang glanced at the situation of the squadron and found that the command boat was nowhere to be found, apparently sunk. On closer inspection, only 5 torpedo boats remained.

Sun Dingbang ordered the command flag to be raised and the attack continued. Now it's a complete contest of wills. The battle was carried out in such a brutal state, there was no sense of fear on both sides, and the only purpose was to sink and destroy the other party. Frankly speaking, it is no accident that the British Imperial Navy can become the hegemon of the seas, and their naval combat experience and fighting will are N times stronger than their land forces. But today they met a group of "hungry wolves", a group of opponents who have never competed, and they are also not afraid of life and death. This desperate tactic frightened the British officers and men.

Sun Dingbang took over the command and led the torpedo boat to the front. In the face of dense artillery fire, Sun Dingbang entered the effective distance of torpedo firing, and at this moment, a shell fell on the deck, and after the smoke passed, it was found that the torpedo launcher had been blown up, and the only torpedo could not be fired. At this time, the torpedo boats were still moving fast. A shell smashed on the deck. Torpedo boats began to spin around the sea.

Sun Dingbang was shot in the chest and fainted, and he was soon awakened by soldiers. Seeing the still heavy shelling of the enemy ships, he endured his wounds and ordered the boiler to be pressurized and continue to advance. When the torpedo boat began to move at high speed again, Sun Dingbang ordered all the crew to jump into the sea, and then personally drove the torpedo boat directly to the enemy battleship. At this time, the British officers and men on the cruiser were almost stupid at the sight of this terrifying scene, accompanied by a violent impact, followed by a deafening ・・・・・・ of explosions.

On the flagship, the Count of Monte Cristo, Captain Douglas was not worried about the torpedo boat attack at first, but with the gunboat being killed, a shadow of fear appeared in his heart. The reason is that a single torpedo can knock a gunboat, and it is clear that the explosion of the opponent's torpedo is too terrifying. In his eyes, it was like a torpedo boat like a mosquito, and in an instant it turned into a behemoth. When the first sail cruiser was sunk, Douglas strengthened this judgment.

The number of torpedo boats attacking on the sea was numbered, but their own side was even worse, with only two sail cruisers left except for the flagship Count Monte Cristo. "Your Excellency General, although the torpedo boats of the Northern Expeditionary Army are not large, their speed has reached 25 knots, the key is that their torpedo explosions are powerful, we should retreat!" To be honest, it was a shame for the British Navy to give the order to retreat, but in the face of this situation, Douglas had to order a retreat.

Since the sail cruiser had a speed of only 16 knots, the Count of Monte Cristo reached 20 knots. In order to take care of the two sail ships, Douglas ordered the flagship to retreat at a speed of 16 knots. At this time, Douglas saw the sailors struggling on the sea, waiting for rescue, and his heart was very uncomfortable. There is no choice but to abandon them, and it also means that this defeat will bring his military career to an end. But he didn't expect that the other party did not give up despite the heavy losses.

The 0010 boat where Dai Hui was located was left behind because it was the squadron command boat. During the attack, a shell exploded on the left-hand rotation, and the shrapnel from the explosion was embedded in the head of the squadron leader. When the squadron leader was dying, he handed over the command to Dai Hui. When the enemy ships fled, 6 torpedo boats of the entire torpedo boat group withdrew from the battlefield after firing torpedoes, 22 torpedo boats were sunk, and 12 torpedo boats were left that could attack at the moment, and many torpedo boats had only one torpedo left or were wounded.

The enemy ships fled, and the torpedo boats attacking in the middle gathered the remaining torpedo boats on both wings and began to pursue, and the enemy ships could not be allowed to escape, which was the consensus of all the sailors participating in the battle. Wen Biao's squadron served as a right-hand shock in the middle. Similarly, Wen Biao aimed at the big guy from the beginning, and he kept holding his breath in his heart, that is, he couldn't let Dai Hui underestimate himself, he wanted to become famous in a fight.

With this mentality, he did not aim at the enemy ships in cover. After the enemy ship fled, his squadron had 5 torpedo boats left. The remaining 3 torpedo boats on the right side of this effort converged and began to frantically pursue the enemy ship. On the left side of the front, Dai Hui led the only four torpedo boats in pursuit. Soon Dai Hui led the torpedo boats to catch up with the enemy ships from the left side, and the three torpedo boats attacked and entangled the cruiser on the left side.

Wen Biao's right flank pursued the torpedo boat, and it also caught up very quickly. At that time, a squadron leader gave the order to deal with the enemy cruiser, but Wen Biao was aiming at the flagship, so he disobeyed the order and overtook the cruiser with another torpedo boat and aimed directly at the flagship, the Count of Monte Cristo. Since the Count of Monte Cristo was in motion, the hit rate was greatly reduced despite the heavy fire from the side-spinning guns.

The brother torpedo boats, perhaps with great merit, rushed diagonally towards the flagship, and before they could get close to firing range, they were hit and sunk by heavy artillery fire. Wen Biao was not reckless, but crossed the Count of Monte Cristo at high speed and made a detour in the direction of the bow of the ship. There is only one main gun in the bow, and at high speeds, the hit rate of the main gun can only reach 30 percent. Wen Qiang's torpedo boat turned around and came directly towards the bow, and when it was about 500 meters away, it suddenly turned left and drew an arc, and then fired two torpedoes in succession at the middle of the flagship diagonally.

The flagship, the Count of Monte Cristo, hurriedly evaded, but could not escape, and the two torpedoes were concentrated in the stern of the ship, and with a violent explosion, the Count of Monte Cristo stopped advancing. When Dai Hui commanded the torpedo boat to appear on the left, it happened that a violent explosion came from the tail of the enemy ship. Dai Hui was shocked and applauded loudly. He pushed the helmsman, personally piloted the torpedo boat, and approached the flagship in the face of artillery fire. Entering the effective firing range, two torpedoes burst through the air. He used the advance amount, and did not expect the Count of Monte Cristo to stop suddenly, and two torpedoes hit the front of the Count of Monte Cristo.

Just after Dai Hui gave the order to fire the torpedo, two shells hit the torpedo boat at the same time, and a huge air wave threw Dai Hui out, and then the torpedo boat exploded ・・・・・・. Three torpedo boats on the right side dealt with the cruiser, one torpedo boat fired a torpedo and failed to hit and exited the battlefield, one torpedo boat was seriously wounded and withdrew from the battlefield, and the other torpedo boat was sunk.

Of the six torpedo boats on the right against the cruisers, three finished firing their torpedoes, one was seriously wounded and withdrew from the battlefield, and one was sunk. The remaining torpedo boat, seeing that the cruiser had begun to sink, immediately turned around and attacked the enemy flagship, but it was unable to scream alone, and was crushed to pieces under the flagship's powerful gunfire. At this moment, our torpedo boats lost their ability to attack. The only British cruiser to finish hauling immediately seized the opportunity and fled the battlefield with the Count of Monte Cristo in tow.

I don't know how long it took for Dai Hui to wake up on the deck of the rescue ship. "You kid picked up a life, and it was Captain Wen who searched for you in the sea. It's just a skin injury, just rest for two days. A military doctor admired. Dai Hui turned his head with difficulty, and found that Wen Biao was staring at him without saying a word. "How's the enemy ship doing?" Dai Hui asked. "The enemy flagship was wounded and towed away by the only cruiser. There is no way, our torpedoes are all gone. Wen Biao was visibly depressed.

Dai Hui stared left and right, Wen Biao knew what he meant, and said: "Zheng Haitao is on his way back to the base, but Sun Dingbang, he is dead." He died a very heroic death, driving a torpedo boat into an enemy ship. Dai Hui closed his eyes in pain when he heard this. In this battle, 12 of the 40 torpedo boats survived, 28 torpedo boats sank, and 3 squadron leaders and 4 detachment leaders were killed.

Everyone did not expect that the flagship, the Count of Monte Cristo, sank about 100 nautical miles southeast of Hainan Island due to serious flooding on the way back, and only one sail cruiser reached the Haikou Military Port on Hainan Island. The huge defeat was unacceptable to Captain Douglas, and perhaps he did not have the face to face the disgrace and court-martial, so he chose to sink with the Count of Monte Cristo. And in these cases, the British army blocked the news, and only learned the truth half a month later.

The torpedo boat secret military port on Hong Kong Island had a very solemn atmosphere. At this time, all the officers and soldiers participating in the battle lined up. Deng Zixuan personally awarded medals to Dai Hui, Wen Qiang, Zheng Haitao and other meritorious servicemen. After that, Deng Zixuan stepped onto the review stand and said in a low voice: "First of all, I mourn the fallen officers and soldiers," after the mourning, Deng Zixuan continued: "My loyal and brave soldiers, let me greet you again." On behalf of the military junta and the people of Lebanon, I would like to express my deep respect for your bravery, tenacity, fearlessness of sacrifice, bloody battles, and such brilliant achievements. ”

Deng Zixuan paused and raised his hands to salute, and all the generals raised their hands to salute the military salute. "Soldiers, the brilliant record does not mean that we are invincible, but that we have forged a brilliant record with blood. In the next step, an even more brutal battle awaits us, and the long campaign is testing us and the will of the Chinese nation. There is no doubt that on the road to the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we must be unrelenting and use our blood and lives to create greater brilliance. I believe that a powerful navy and a maritime power will be ・・・・・・born in your hands. ”

Such a result was extremely exciting, and the 1st Torpedo Boat Brigade, including the fallen officers and men, was quickly replenished. Dai Hui, Wen Qiang, and Zheng Haitao were honored to be promoted to squadron leaders. A force that has fought brutally is irreplaceable by no amount of training. For this reason, Dai Hui, Wen Qiang, and some officers and men were transferred to the 2nd Torpedo Boat Brigade, and the 2nd Torpedo Boat Brigade will be put into actual combat in the next step.

Deng Zixuan and Pei Gejin returned to Guangzhou and were immediately surrounded by the boiling scene in Guangzhou. With the wide publicity of the major newspapers, the mood of the people was once again mobilized. You must know that the giant ships and cannons of foreigners are not easy to shake, and with such brilliant achievements, the people's self-confidence and cohesion are unprecedentedly high. The news of the sinking of the coalition fleet was transmitted across the vast land across the mountains and mountains, and different versions were formed, the more it crossed the gods and changed beyond recognition.
