The fall of the Xinyuan Passage meant that the Longhua Coalition Army had a forward position to attack Heihe Prefecture. But compared with the Liaozhou Army's fierce fight in Xinyuan, it wanted to expand the results of the battle in the future, and almost used human lives to pile up. However, this kind of pile, the Longhua coalition army is uncomfortable, and the blocking troops of the little devils are also uncomfortable.

When the military and civilians in Longhua held various memorials and memorials for the heroes who died on the battlefield of Xinyuan, the second line of defense laid by the Japanese army, the Songyuan front, was full of corpses. Even the little devils who have always felt that the Longhua people lack bloodlessness are frightened by this kind of Longhua soldiers who have value because of being soldiers, and the kind of bravery who sacrifices their lives and forgets death.

Realizing that it would only be a matter of time before Heihe Prefecture fell until no longer a way to turn the tide of the war, the Japanese army finally launched an operation to blockade the entire territory of Longhua using the navy. This also means that a truly asymmetrical war has begun. The Longhua Navy, which is itself in the twilight, will usher in a complete rebirth.

Like the Anti-Japanese War in China in the previous life, the naval strength of the Sun State at this time was extremely strong, and the 88th Fleet formed by it was unrivaled in Asia. Even today's naval powers, the Eagle Kingdom and the United States of America, are facing this rising Asian naval power. Although they pay lip service to contempt, under normal circumstances, their navy does not dare to clash too much with the navy of the Sun Country.

With this 88th fleet, two formations composed of capital battleships and cruisers, entered the waters of China. Merchant ships from all over the world that passed through here knew exactly what they were going for. This time, the Sun Country has been boasting of a powerful army, and it has planted a heel on the coalition army of the Longhua Kingdom. I think they are preparing to let the navy find the thrill of victory and disrupt the current offensive rhythm of the Longhua coalition army.

There has always been a dispute over whether to develop the army or the navy first. As an island country, even if the GDP has increased rapidly in recent years. But they must still like it, and it will be in favor of a certain focus. And the members of the Imperial Cabinet, who knew the importance of the navy to the Sun Country, finally chose to strengthen the navy.

So much so that there is. They are now a powerful naval fleet that threatens the countries of Asia. Its capital ship, the battleship Sun, is known as an unsinkable island on the sea, with a displacement of an astonishing 30,000 tons. The artillery weapons equipped on it are the most advanced in the Sun Country today.

Even the people of the Eagle Kingdom, who have now been reequipped with dreadnought-class war dead ships, feel that it is difficult to decide the outcome of the battle with a single warship. Therefore, this also boosted the Sun Nation Navy's habitual self-confidence and arrogance. Even the combat mode that should have been a covert march was abandoned, and the two naval formations directly swaggered straight to the Yinmen Port in Dragon City.

It was the Sun Country 88 Fleet that was responsible for the attack on the Longhua Navy and the major military ports. Two 10,000-ton battleships and cruisers. The tonnage of the frigates of the rest of the formation is also more than a few thousand tons. Compared with the only 10,000-ton battleship that Longhua currently has, or the fleet built during the Longhua period, it is not a grade.

When Li Shichang, who was sitting in Dragon City, received information that the navy of the Sun Country. When it is about to attack the port gateway of Dragon City, the port gateway of the dragon city, Yinmen Port. I know that the next is the most difficult period for Longhua. Just the Dragon City Navy under his command. Where will these Sun Nation navies be the opponents?

It's a pity that he didn't expect it. The elite of the Dragon City Navy, which was almost emptied by Xu Bin, could not even find the gunners of the flagship Dragon City battleship. As for the other thousand-ton warships, pulling them out is almost a dead cargo. In this naval battle, Longhua's defeat was decided almost when it appeared.

Knowing that in this case, Li Shichang, who had no way to resist the invasion of the Sun Country Navy, could only ask for the shore defense artillery deployed on the harbor. At all costs. All of them will block the navy of the Sun Kingdom and enter the open sea of the port. Don't give them a chance to destroy these ports where supplies are transported.

His idea was that Haode was right, even the officers and men of the Navy who knew that they were invincible. It is clear that the goods pulled out by their own warships are also reclaimed goods. These people were very sad, and they pulled the minelayer out of the open sea of the harbor and laid mines one after another. At the same time, the Longcheng ship, which had not left the port for nearly two years, was launched, and it left the port for the first time in two years.

Just as Li Shichang, who got the news, stopped these navies from making such fearless sacrifices, the telegram sent by the navy left him speechless. Because, what these navies who drove the Dragon City out of the ship had to do was to personally blow it up and sink it in the open sea. In this tragic but helpless way, to preserve the only façade of their navy.

At the same time, I also hope that the self-sinking Longcheng ship can make the Sun Country Navy that wants to pass through here really not be able to get close to the port of Xinmen, and save this military port that represents the Longhua Navy as much as possible. This is also the most dignified retirement of these navies who drove warships, which was named after the country back then.

The flagship of a fleet will sink itself, which is for a navy that usually ensures the state of the Dragon City ship even if other warships are not repaired. How heart-wrenching is naturally known, but they know it very well. In its current state, the Dragon Castle was no match for the two menacing Japanese main fleets.

Let this Longcheng, which represents the symbol of the prosperity of Longhua Kingdom in the past, become a trophy of the Sun Kingdom's navy, and it is better to let it completely stay in the sea of Longhua Kingdom. At the same time, I also hope that the future Longhua Navy can remember this shameful history.

When a group of old navies in their fifties and sixties from the Dragon City Naval Fleet drove this warship to the waters that they thought could block the passage of the Sun Kingdom warships. The old captain of the Longhua ship, Thackley, ordered all the crew to disembark and return to port on the troop carrier that had come to pick them up. As for him, he had already retired but returned, and he himself had the intention of co-living and dying with the warship.

It is clear that this old captain who has experienced the prosperity of the Longhua Navy is the person who is the most reluctant to give up the battleship Longcheng in the entire Longhua Kingdom. But today, he had to ignite it himself, and the bombs scattered all over the warship sank it to the bottom of the sea. This kind of heartache is not something that ordinary people can experience.

Looking at the old general who did not wear a military uniform today, but wore a filial piety uniform, and the retired officer who accompanied him to the warship, he understood that the old captain was determined to die and swore to live and die together with the warship. In any case, he refused to leave on his own.

Seeing these silver-haired old subordinates pleading bitterly, Thackley said indifferently: "I built the Dragon City with my own eyes, and I personally handed it over to the new government. Now that it's too old to walk, I'm going to accompany it on this zuihou ride anyway. You don't have to persuade me anymore, old man, I have lived to be content now.

I can use my death to warn all the navy people in Longhua, let them know that they will be beaten if they fall behind, and let them know how hard and shameful it is today, and I will die without regrets. If you don't leave, then I will cut myself off from you on the spot. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man took out the pistol he was wearing, and resolutely ordered these old subordinates to board the ship and leave. Looking at these old subordinates who almost left with a cry, they finally all left the warship. The old man breathed a sigh of relief, and with full nostalgia, he began to inspect the old battleship that seemed to be the same as him, and it was a little unshaped.

When he came to the bow command platform of the Dragon City and looked at the vast sea area ahead, the old man said affectionately: "Brother, let's go on the road together!" ”

Just as he was about to light the haode fuse in the harbor, he suddenly felt a man wearing a water lean and a grimace appear in front of him. Before he could ask who the other party was, he heard the other party say, 'Old general, I'm sorry, you can't die yet, offended!' ’。 This old general, who was determined to die, felt that his eyes were black and fell to the ground.

As the old man fell to the ground, the soldier who suddenly appeared on the warship wearing a water leaner helped the old man's fallen body and said, "Transfer the old general away, and the third squad is responsible for ignition." The rest of the team immediately retreated. ”

Soon, the soldier who was dressed like the old captain who knocked out the old ship began to quickly untie the two small boats from the other side of the Dragon City and put the old man down smoothly. At the same time, the two team members who were responsible for the broken rope also lit two long fuses at the moment when they climbed onto the rope.

When they sailed out of the sea area about a kilometer of the warship in two small boats, a steel giant appeared on the surface of the sea. As the beast's hatch opened, the men disappeared into the ocean again, just as they had appeared. The fuse that was lit when they evacuated finally began to detonate this warship, which represented the highest level of the Longhua Navy.

The old navy of Longhua, who got off the ship from the other side, lay on the troop carrier one by one and wept silently. Because in their opinion, the captain who taught them how to be a good navy also left them forever with the explosion. But no one knew that in the midst of this explosion after explosion, two small boats on the sea a mile away also sounded two explosions. It's just that it was covered up by the sound of the Dragon City's explosion, and no one paid attention to it.

Because the place where the Longcheng ship exploded was not too far from the port of Yinmen, so that the people and the navy in the port could see the smoke of the explosion rising from the open sea. The officers and men of the navy, who knew how the smoke was generated, began to shed tears one by one, their eyes were red.

The people who didn't know why, after inquiry, learned that this was a group of retired old navy in Longhua. I don't want the Dragon City to become a trophy of the Sun Navy, and sink this warship with the largest tonnage in Longhua into the open sea. I hope that this Dragon City can do its part for Longhua in this way.

When they heard that there was the old admiral Sackrie during the Longhua Dynasty on this warship, the people were also moved by the fierce old general's sacrifice for righteousness. Even after getting a report, the old general who could have been at home for the rest of his life. When he went to the bottom of the sea with the Longcheng ship, Li Shichang couldn't say a word for a long time.

In the end, in the form of a telegram, the heroic feat of the old admiral was announced to the military and civilians of the whole country. As soon as this telegram was announced, it undoubtedly brought a lot of psychological shock to the Longhua National Navy and Army. A veteran can sacrifice his life for the country so heroically, how can they be compared to an old man when they are so young? (To be continued......)
