The Xinghai, Weihai, Zhenhai, and Dinghai of the First Fleet of the Naval Academy, and the Dingyuan and Jingyuan of the Beiyang Naval Division, 6 warships were behind the remaining 4 ships of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Matsushima, Hashidate, Fuso, and Chiyoda, and they were firing their guns while pursuing!

The Guangyi and Guang C ships, which were originally following the Dingyuan and Jingyuan, were not hit by large-caliber shells, but they were also hit by a lot of small-caliber shells, because they were injured and the hull had entered a lot of seawater, and the speed was less than 8 knots, so they did not pursue the Japanese ships again, and the two ships turned around and slowly lost power in the distance, and the Jingyuan, which was floating on the sea, sailed away.

At this time, the four warships of the Second Guerrilla Group of the Japanese Combined Fleet saw the four warships of the Japanese Combined Fleet approaching and immediately approached the Japanese Combined Fleet Main Fleet, and what made the eight warships of the Japanese Combined Fleet excited was that the four Italian ironclad battleships finally stopped being entangled with the detachment of the Beiyang Naval Division and moved closer to the remaining warships of the Japanese ships!

When the commander of the Combined Fleet, Ito Yuzuki, saw that the Italian warships were finally approaching, and his face, which had been blue because of the continuous sinking of the warships of the Japanese Combined Fleet, was much more normal. Ito thought to himself, as long as he could rely on 4 powerful Italian ironclad battleships to eliminate most of the main forces of the Beiyang Naval Division, the sunken Combined Fleet warships would not sink to the bottom of the sea in vain!

Ito ordered the Japanese naval personnel on the bridge: "After joining up with the Italian warships, all the warships will immediately take the lead and follow the four Italian ironclad battleships to attack the Beiyang Naval Division again!" For the admirals who died in battle! For the sunken Combined Fleet battleship! For the Great Japanese Empire! For His Majesty the Emperor! I hope you will fight bravely to kill the enemy! ”

At this time, the first mate on the Takamatsu stumbled into the bridge and shouted at Ito Yuko: "Commander! Oh no! The Italian warships sent flags, and their main guns were already out of shells! There are not many shells of other calibers left! The Italian warships are ready to retreat! ”

Ito's face turned pale after hearing this, and he suddenly pulled off the binoculars hanging around the neck of the first mate, and looked at the Italian warship ironclad battleship Italia from the window of the bridge! Sure enough, the Italian sailors on the Italians were using the flag they had drawn up before the battle to tell the Combined Fleet that they were ready to retreat!

Ito Yuxiang threw the first mate's telescope to the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "These Italian bastards! Order the Combined Fleet to turn northeast! Leave the battlefield, break away from the battle with the Beiyang Naval Division, and retreat to the Yokosuka Military Port in Japan! After saying that, Ito Yuxiang seemed to have lost all his strength, his legs were weak, and he sat on the wooden floor of the bridge in a decadent manner.

In the bridge of the Xinghai, although the Xinghai was still firing at the remaining warships of the Japanese ship's own team, Lin Daxin had already shifted his attention to the four giant ships.

Lin Daxin saw that the four giant ships were no longer chasing the warships of the Second Fleet, but rushed over to prepare to join the Japanese Combined Fleet, and Lin Daxin's face was not good-looking! Just looking at the tonnage of the 4 giant ships and the stout main gun barrels, it made Lin Daxin's heart cold!

The first fleet and the second fleet of the first fleet of the Naval Division did not have any major damage of about 7,000 tons, and the two 7,000-ton Dingyuan ships and Zhenhai ships of the Beiyang Naval Division also maintained combat effectiveness! However, Lin Daxin faced 4 huge ships with a tonnage of more than 10,000 tons and a main gun of more than 400 mm, and he was not sure of victory at all!

Lin Daxin couldn't help but think of retreating in his heart, but at this moment, Lin Daxin saw a huge ship on a huge ship, and the enemy was waving flags.

Lin Daxin once looked for information about the First Sino-Japanese War on the Internet in modern time and space, and saw the introduction of the Japanese Navy's flag in the First Sino-Japanese Naval War on a document. At that time, Lin Daxin roughly memorized the meaning of some flags!

Not only do all countries share a set of internationally accepted flags, but also the navies of each country have their own set of flags for warfare. And because the Italian warships were hired by Japan, they also used the flag of the Japanese Combined Fleet.

Through the high-powered telescope, Lin Daxin looked at the sailors on the giant ship waving flags, Lin Daxin observed and recalled, and suddenly Lin Daxin jumped up suddenly, and shouted: "Great! God help me! ”

Sun Xitao, the commander of the First Fleet of the Naval Academy next to him, and Jiang Chen, the captain of the Xinghai, were looking at the four giant ships in the distance worriedly, and were suddenly startled by Lin Daxin!

Jiang Chen asked, "Headmaster, what's wrong?" ”

Lin Daxin laughed and said: "Immediately contact the Second Fleet and Admiral Ding Ruchang, and the sailors on a giant ship waved the flag to the Japanese Combined Fleet that 4 giant ships have no main artillery shells!" And the flag also said that there were not many shells for other guns on the 4 warships! Hahaha! The four large armored cruisers of the Second Fleet can reach speeds of more than 20 knots! 2 fast protection cruisers will be faster! It's not easy for them to run! Sue the Second Fleet and Lord Ding Ruchang, we must seize the opportunity of the enemy's lack of ammunition and leave the four huge ships behind! Otherwise, 4 huge ships with plenty of ammunition, our warships are not their opponents at all, even if 2 or 3 fight one, they may not necessarily win! As for the rest of the remaining Japanese warships, don't chase them! ”

Sun Xitao had a surprised expression on his face and asked in disbelief: "General Office!" Can you read the flag of the Japanese Combined Fleet? ”

Lin Daxin said anxiously: "There is no chance to explain now!" Immediately inform Lord Ding Ruchang, the Weihai, Dinghai, and Zhenhai of the Second Fleet and the First Fleet, that they must not let the four giant ships escape! ”

The radio sailors of the Xinghai immediately informed Ding Ruchang, the Second Fleet, and the Weihai, Dinghai, and Zhenhai that Lin Daxin knew that the four giant ships did not have many shells.

Ding Ruchang was looking at the 4 giant ships in the distance with a sad face, the Beiyang Naval Division has now sunk 4 warships, and the Jingyuan, Guangyi and Guang C are also injured, I don't know if I can insist on returning to the port!

Now the Beiyang Navy Division still has 6 warships with combat effectiveness, and 4 10,000-ton enemy ships have to fight again, although there is a fleet of Lin Daxin Navy Academy to fight side by side, but after a battle with 4 giant ships, I don't know how many warships are left in the Beiyang Navy Division, which was once the most powerful fleet in the Far East!

The question is whether the Beiyang Naval Division's own team plus all the warships of the Naval Academy can defeat 4 giant ships together?

But at this time, I can only fight! Ding Ruchang suddenly appeared in his mind the figure of his baby daughter Ding Xueshan, Ding Ruchang decided to let Lin Daxin retreat immediately, he is over half a hundred years old, and he is loyal to the country! I can't let my future son-in-law get in too! Otherwise, what can I do with my precious daughter!

Ding Ruchang was just about to order the sailors in charge of the radio station to send a report to Lin Daxin's Xinghai and let the Xinghai retreat!

At this time, the sailors who managed the radio station in the bridge of the Dingyuan ship handed over the telegram sent by Lin Daxin to Ding Ruchang.

Ding Ruchang took a closer look at the telegram in his hand, immediately laughed, and said to Liu Buyun, the pipe belt of the Dingyuan ship: "Hahaha! Zixiang, Lin Daxin's kid sent a telegram, saying that the 4 enemy giant ships were no longer running out of main artillery shells! And there weren't many other shells! Fast! Speed up and rush towards the 4 giant ships! Leave the remnants of the Japanese Combined Fleet alone with them! "Zixiang is Liu Buchan's cousin.

When Liu Buyun heard this, he took the telegram in surprise and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that Lin Daxin, this kid, still knows the flag of the Japanese United Fleet!" How did he know? ”

Ding Ruchang waved his hand: "The important thing now is the 4 warships, as for how Lin Daxin's kid knows the flag of the Japanese Combined Fleet, you can ask him yourself after the war!" Immediately send a report to the other warships of the naval division's own team, and leave the remnants of the Japanese Combined Fleet alone! All warships to Ben Admiral rushed to 4 huge ships! Be sure to leave the 4 giant ships to the old man! ”

Liu Buyun, the leader of the Dingyuan ship, nodded, and then ordered Dingyuan to speed up and rush towards the four Italian warships, and at the same time let the radio of the Dingyuan send a report to the warships of the other Beiyang Naval Division.

The other warships of the Beiyang Naval Division that received the telegram immediately ignored the remnants of the Japanese Combined Fleet and rushed towards 4 Italian warships!
