With Matsushita Taro's order, the Japanese sailors with hundreds of ships hidden on the shore rushed out and killed the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy near the center line of the Uraga Waterway at high speed. The officers and men of the Japanese naval division on the battleship, although they had been shocked by the powerful firepower of the Chinese fleet. But they still rushed forward and killed. These officers and soldiers, who had been nurtured by the samurai spirit since childhood, were full of devotion to the emperor and the general, and regarded dying on the battlefield as the highest honor of a soldier.

Hundreds of warships rushed out, taking the officers and men of the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy who were fighting. They all thought that they would encounter Japanese sailors after entering Edo Bay. But I didn't expect that the Japanese sailors were actually hiding in the Uraga waterway.

"Commander, we have found a large number of Japanese naval warships, and they are rapidly approaching us!" A staff officer reported to Lieutenant General Wei Yong. The Uraga waterway is already relatively narrow, and the distance of several kilometers can be approached quickly.

Lieutenant General Wei Yong had already put down the binoculars in his hand at this moment, and he was also aware of the current situation. It turns out that the Japanese have premeditated!

"Order all ships to speed up at once, and not to let those Japanese warships get close. In addition, the artillery fire of each ship will give priority to attacking these Japanese warships! Lieutenant General Wei Yong ordered. Although, these small Japanese warships, which did not even have artillery, were still in the period of broadside warfare, and could not threaten the warships of the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy at all. However, Lieutenant General Wei Yong still did not dare to take it lightly.

"Yes. Checkmate! The staff officer immediately went to give the order. Of course, he himself did not agree with Lieutenant General Wei Yong's caution. In the eyes of the Chinese fleet. The Japanese sailors are too weak. Although there were hundreds of warships, they were all small ships.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! After receiving the order of Vice Admiral Wei Yong, the ships turned their guns one after another and aimed at the Japanese naval warships that were attacking quickly. At the same time, with the roar of the steam engine, billowing smoke erupted from the chimneys of the battleships, and the speed of the ships began to increase. The maximum speed of the 'Shang-class' cruisers reached more than 14 knots. Much faster than those warships of the Japanese sailors. It was not so easy for the warships of the Japanese naval division to catch up with the warships of the Chinese Navy.

One after another, the shells exploded on the surface of the sea, splashing columns of water into the sky. And the warships of the Japanese sailors. They walked through these columns of water.

"Yaga! Faster, faster! Rush up and light the fire oil on the warship! "The shogunate sent Taro Matsushita in the year with a monocular. The mouth kept babbling. In the face of heavy artillery fire from the Chinese fleet. The Japanese sailors were almost powerless to fight back. They could only get close to the Chinese warship, ignite the oil on the ship, and then storm the Chinese Navy's warship. Destroy your opponent by way of fire attack. It's just that it's easy to say, but it's very difficult to sit up. First of all, it is not easy to approach the warships of the Chinese Navy. Not only must they pass through the blockade of the Chinese Navy's naval guns, but they must also catch up with the speed of the Chinese Navy's warships.

"Boom!" A Japanese naval warship was hit by a 105-mm naval gun shell. In the midst of a violent explosion. The warship was torn to shreds. At the same time, the fire oil on the warship was also ignited. A raging fire was lit on the surface of the sea.

At this time, the officers and men of the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy all knew what kind of idea the Japanese had. It turned out that they wanted to use fire attack on the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy. It has to be said that the fire attack still poses a considerable threat to the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy. Although the decks and waterlines of the 'Shang-class' cruisers were laid with armor. But the main body of the battleship is, after all, wooden and can easily be ignited.

After learning of the wolf ambitions of the Japanese, the captains of each ship ordered to increase the speed of the battleship to the maximum. At first, the ships were reluctant to speed up. After all, the ships of the Japanese sailors were relatively small, and it was not easy to hit their ships. Not to mention that after the increase in speed, it is more difficult to hit the target. But now, the captains of all ships put the preservation of themselves in the first place and the destruction of the enemy in the second place, which is also the main operational idea of the Chinese Navy. Only by preserving yourself as much as possible can you better destroy the enemy.

"Boom! Rumble! "Under the heavy fire of the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy, more and more Japanese naval warships were destroyed. The warships of the Japanese naval division were so fragile that even 75 mm naval guns could destroy them lightly. It can be said that the warships of the Japanese naval division are completely vulnerable. After the ship was destroyed, the Japanese officers and soldiers on it would not have a good end, even if they were lucky enough not to be killed, but after the fire oil on the ship was ignited, they would be burned to ashes.

"Bastard! How could those Chinese warships be so fast? Seeing that his own warships could not catch up with the Chinese Navy's warships with all their strength, but were killed by the Chinese Navy's warships one after another, Matsushita Taro was so angry that he scolded. However, his swearing could not change the tide of battle. The current situation is still very unfavorable for the Japanese sailors. Their fire attacks had no effect at all, and they did not pose any threat to the Chinese Navy at all if they could not catch up with the Chinese Navy's warships.

"Order the ships, and fight like this! Sink the Japanese warships one by one! On the cruiser 'Shang Tang', Vice Admiral Wei Yong, commander of the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy, said with a smile on his face. Now that the 1st Fleet has completely grasped the initiative in naval warfare, although the number of warships of the Japanese naval division is quite large, it is gradually decreasing under the blow of the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy. Soon, the 1st Fleet would wipe out all the ships of the Japanese naval division. Moreover, there were no casualties of their own.

"Yaga! The Chinese are cowards, they only know how to escape, and they simply do not dare to fight us to the death! On a Japanese warship, a Japanese officer cursed viciously. Watching their own warships continue to be hit, and then burst into flames, and they can't do anything about it, this feeling, not to mention how aggrieved.

"Boom!" The next moment, a 155-mm shell from naval guns hit the battleship. After the explosion of the shell weighing 25 kg, the light yì tore the battleship to pieces. Pieces of wood, scattered on the surface of the sea. At the same time, the fire oil on the warship was also ignited and burned on the surface of the sea. The Japanese on the ship tried desperately to escape, but they were enveloped in flames and were soon burned to death.

In the face of the powerful Chinese navy, the Japanese sailors seemed so helpless, and the two sides were not opponents of the same level at all. Under the blows of the Chinese Navy, the number of warships of the Japanese naval division is drastically decreasing.

After more than half an hour of naval battle, almost half of the Japanese sailors' warships were wiped out. The remaining Japanese naval warships also seemed to know that they were no match for the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy. These warships, no longer pursuing the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy, began to flee. Although the samurai of Japan believed in the battlefield of death, they were still terrified in the face of senseless sacrifice. If their death can inflict heavy damage or destroy the opponent, that's good. However, in the present situation, their death has become meaningless. This made those Japanese officers and soldiers feel fear.

Seeing that his own warships had actually begun to retreat, the shogunate Wakanyo Matsushita Taro, who had been staying in the rear, was furious.

"Yaga! Those guys, are they still brave Japanese samurai? They actually ran away? It's a samurai for nothing! I must ask the general to kill them all, including their families! Matsushita Taro said viciously. It's just that he seems to have forgotten about it, and after they defeat this battle, he won't end well. Even he himself estimated that there was only a dead end, let alone threatening other officers and soldiers of the Marine Division.

The Japanese sailors began to retreat, but the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy would not let them go. If these warships are allowed to escape, they will inevitably pose a certain threat to the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy in the next operations. Only by completely destroying them will the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy be able to fearlessly crisscross the Edo Bay.

The ships of the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy began to turn around and pursue the warships of the Japanese naval division. The warships of the Japanese sailors, powered by the wind, were previously tailwind, and the speed was naturally fast. But now it's a headwind when it comes to escaping, and the speed is greatly affected. On the contrary, the warships of the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy are all steam warships, which are basically unaffected by the wind. Whether downwind or upwind, it is able to maintain a high speed of more than 14 knots. It was even easier to pursue the ships of the Japanese sailors.

"Boom! Rumble! "One after another, the Japanese naval warships that were caught up were destroyed by the Chinese Navy. The naval battle that took place on the Uraga waterway has already presented a one-sided situation. With the vast difference in combat power between the two sides, the Japanese naval division was no match for the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy at all. Their fate was sealed from the beginning.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, all the hundreds of warships of the Japanese naval division were destroyed, and none of them escaped the net. And the officers and men on those ships were either killed or burned alive. Those who are lucky enough to escape will not be saved by the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy. They all believed what the Chinese Emperor Long Yufei said, that only the dead Japanese are good Japanese. These Japanese, it's better to let them die!

After the annihilation of the Japanese naval divisions, the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy began to continue to destroy the shore defense batteries on both sides of the Uraga waterway as planned. (To be continued......)
