Chapter 154: The Trap of the Chinese Collar

As soon as Thoble gave the order, all the gunners immediately began to reload their ammunition, adjusted their muzzles and aimed at the enemy warships. When he found that the opponent's firepower had increased by three times, Abbadis did not panic, he thought that it was normal for the opponent to hide his strength, even if these hidden strengths were exposed, they were not as many as the guns of a first-class combat ship on his side, such strength was not terrible. But when a cannonball hit a second-class battleship to his left, a terrible scene occurred.

The huge cannonball hit the deck of the warship with only a small explosion, but the scattered flames ignited everything. The thousand-degree flames emitted by trinitrophenol can melt even steel, not to mention wooden warships, the high-temperature flames spread rapidly on the warship, and the tall sails instantly turned into burning torches to point out the direction to the artillerymen of the Iron Blood Army.

At this time, the crew could no longer care about shooting, and all of them joined in extinguishing the fire, but these flames were chemical flames, and they were difficult to extinguish by the crew who did not have the necessary equipment. Several crew members quickly picked up their axes and slashed at the mast, and the fire on board could be reduced by half by simply throwing the most seriously burning mast and sail into the sea. Unfortunately, their efforts were wiped out by a succession of shells.

Such a huge target shines brightly around, how not to attract the artillery fire of the Iron Blood, after the hull was hit by two incendiary bombs again, the ship completely burned, the fire became bigger and bigger and could not be controlled at all, some panicked sailors began to jump into the water to escape, but more people were surrounded by flames.

In a few minutes, both the wooden hull and the crew's body turned into flaming flares, and even the heavy steel cannon turned into a puddle of molten iron, and the terrifying heat quickly reduced the warship to ashes. Seeing this scene, Abadis was completely stunned, he had only seen the iron ball cannonball, he couldn't imagine that the power of the cannonball was so powerful, and before he could react, the warships around him began to be shot one after another, and the warships that were shot quickly ignited into the sky without exception.

Looking at the hell on earth in front of him, Abadis was so frightened that he collapsed directly on his seat. The frightened Abadis hurriedly ordered to retreat immediately, but when he turned around, he found that more than a dozen warships behind the fleet had been burned into a wall of fire, completely sealing the narrow channel that could be used for retreat.

An officer beside Abadis walked over tremblingly and asked, "Commander, what should we do?" ”

Abadis slumped in his chair and replied tremblingly: "It's terrible, I won't fight, we surrender, surrender." As he spoke, he sat on the deck and wept like a child.

Seeing the white flag on the opposing warship, Tobul smiled and said, "Order everyone to stop shooting and let Fu Mingcheng send someone to receive the warship." ”

Although there is no navy in the wild continent, there are still a lot of small sampans for fishing, and a regiment of iron-blooded soldiers sat on more than 100 small sampans and drove in the direction of the New Guinea navy. These New Guinean navies are quite honest, or they no longer have much will to fight.

Under the watchful eye of the Predator soldiers, New Guinea's warships slowly docked on the docks of Moore Harbor one by one. The New Guinean naval soldiers led by Abadis were escorted off the ship by the Predator soldiers, and Abadis was still sobbing with snot and tears, and he was really frightened by such a tragic battle.

Looking at the Abaddis who was escorted away, Fu Mingcheng pouted and said: "With such a poor commander, no wonder it is so easy to win, so I squatted on the infantry position for a long time in vain." "The fact that he has not been able to get a battle makes Fu Mingcheng very dissatisfied.

Tobul smiled: "That's fine, I must report to the young master, put this living treasure back, it will be much easier to have him in the enemy army." ”

Fu Mingcheng nodded: "That's what I said." After saying that, the two looked at each other, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed.

"Tobul and they completely defeated the Southern Fleet of New Guinea, capturing not only seventeen warships large and small, but also the commander of the Southern Fleet of New Guinea, Abadis." Zhang Haiyang excitedly read out the message from the Savage Continent.

"Great, another big win." The staff officers of the Navy Staff Department were talking excitedly.

Liu Junguo looked at Fang Xiaoyu beside him and asked for advice: "Lord Lord, what should we do?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu touched his chin and said, "The military strength of the Kingdom of New Guinea is not at the same level as ours, and it is not difficult to win, but we must pay attention to the interference of the Saar Empire and the Nantes Empire, as well as the possible sneak attack of the Wa Kingdom." ”

Zhang Haiyang said: "Last time we fought with the Cossack Navy, the Japanese Navy didn't send out. ”

Liu Junguo said: "This time is different, last time we were fighting at home, if the Japanese Navy wants to deal with us, there is no certainty of victory." This time we are going south, and if the Japanese attack us, the main fleet will take two days to return at the earliest. ”

Hearing Liu Junguo's analysis, Zhang Haiyang looked at the chart and frowned: "Where does the commander think the Japanese will sneak attack?" ”

Liu Junguo said: "Now our coastal defense is not bad, and the shore artillery in various ports is not something that the current strength of the Japanese navy can deal with, unless it is here." Liu Junguo pointed to a point on the chart.

"Fishing for Shrimp Island." Zhang Haiyang exclaimed.

"That's right, it's shrimp fishing." Liu Junguo explained: "Since the last naval battle of Shrimp Island, we have actually occupied this place, and Xiahou Min does not attach much importance to this place, so we have hoarded a large amount of materials here as a transit base for convenience. Due to the short time we occupied, the construction of the fort there has only just begun, and it is simply not enough to resist the attack, so this is our weak point. ”

Fang Xiaoyu frowned and said, "But once we attack here, we will be retaliated by our returning main fleet, and the current military strength of the Wa Kingdom is simply not enough to resist our attack." ”

Liu Junguo said with a smile: "If my guess is correct, the Japanese navy will attack there under the pirate flag, and as long as the corpses are destroyed afterwards, we will take them if we can't catch the handle." What's more, they can wait for our main fleet to return nearby, they are waiting for work, we are returning from an expedition without supplies, this offensive and defensive posture is similar to our original Cossack fleet, this victory is really difficult to say. ”

Zhang Haiyang said: "Actually, this situation is also easy to solve, as long as we replace the barrels of the training ships of the Naval Academy, overhaul the machines, and then add them to active service, we will have enough to defend the fleet." Liu Junguo also nodded and agreed with Zhang Haiyang's opinion.

Fang Xiaoyu frowned, walked around the room twice, and suddenly asked, "If you use ten torpedo boats to defend Shrimp Island, do you think you can defend it?" ”

Liu Junguo and Zhang Haiyang glanced at each other, and Zhang Haiyang replied: "Recently, we have just been reequipped with a new type of torpedo with a range of one nautical mile and a speed of seventeen knots, and I think it should not be a big problem to deal with the Japanese fleet." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "Okay, then we won't reequip the training ships, and spread the news that the training ships have long been unusable due to the structural damage caused by that voyage and the subsequent naval battle, and we are ready to dismantle them into scrap metal." ”

"Young master, are you going to ......" Fang Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes and said viciously: "There are only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, last time I wanted to wipe out the Japanese Navy, but unfortunately the Saar Empire interfered, so I failed, this time I want to use Shrimp Island as bait to eliminate them in one fell swoop." ”

Five days later, the main force of the Chinese Fleet, consisting of four battleships and twelve cruisers with the Lanting as the flagship, set sail first, and they made the last stop at Diaoyu Shrimp Island to replenish before sailing for the Kingdom of New Guinea.

Since the last defeat and land reparation, a huge change has taken place within the Japanese state, and many senior officials in the DPRK and China have been forced to surrender. Due to the huge amount of indemnity not only emptied the treasury of the Wa State, but also greatly restricted the economic recovery, the entire Wa State fell into poverty, in order to raise funds to restore the economy, the Wa King even put forward a call to eat only one meal a day, despite this, the poverty of the Wa State was still not alleviated.

The country's economic difficulties inevitably affected the recovery of the navy, and because of the lack of funds, the navy not only did not have the money to purchase new ships, but even the daily maintenance was quite difficult, so that the Japanese navy did not have the opportunity to go to sea once a year, and it really could not afford to spend money on coal and water and the maintenance of machinery.

In the face of such a predicament, the Japanese navy naturally hoped to obtain a windfall so that it could resume the daily training of the navy. For the hatred of the Chinese Territorial Navy, their goal was naturally placed on the Chinese Territorial Navy, but unfortunately the strength of the Chinese Territorial Navy was getting stronger and stronger, and then the defeat of the Cossack Navy made the Japanese Navy even more frightened.

This time, after receiving the news that the main force of the Chinese Navy had gone to the Kingdom of New Guinea to participate in the war, Ito, the treacherous and cunning commander of the Japanese Navy, finally saw a chance for revenge. For the countless material reserves of Shrimp Island, the Japanese navy is extremely jealous, and now without the protection of the fleet, they are ready to start, so that they can avenge the defeat last time, and secondly, they can obtain a large amount of much-needed finances.

Under Ito's orders, the captain of the cruiser Yoshino, Kawagen, led all four cruisers of the Wakuni Province, with the Yoshino as the flagship, and led the Kongo, Tsukushi, and Katsuragi to form a cruiser fleet, and sailed towards Orishima Island under the pirate flag.

"They're really coming." There was a hidden lookout post at the highest point of Shrimp Island, where Zhang Haiyang was looking, with a telescope in his hand, looking at the four cruisers that were rapidly approaching on the opposite side, and his heart was full of excitement. Seeing that the opposing cruiser fleet was gradually approaching, Zhang Haiyang grabbed the phone and ordered: "The torpedo boat formation will attack immediately." "Receiving Zhang Haiyang's order, ten torpedo boats rushed out from both sides of the island in two formations.
