The eve of Chapter Eighty-Three

In the desperate attack of the Sky Guards, Kondo Okami finally failed to capture the second position. The Owari fleet was covered in blood during the battle, and not only ten brigs were sunk, but the three-masted battleship "Sixth Heavenly Demon King" was also seriously damaged.

This was the result of the decisive attack of the Guards Fleet, and it was precisely because the Guards Fleet attacked the weak area of the "Sixth Heavenly Demon King" that Kondo Okami's retreat was forced to interrupt the surging offensive of the Owari Fleet, and the Guards Fleet also paid the price of sinking five brigs.

After two days and one night of fighting, the sea calmed down, and the two sides licked each other's wounds, each rescuing sailors and towing badly damaged battleships in their own control areas. The smoke of gunpowder was quickly blown away by the sea breeze, and looking at the shocking battle damage report, the two commanders did not fight anymore.

In particular, the "Sixth Day Demon King", even if it was equipped with iron armor plates on the side side, but under the impact of a large number of shells, cracks had appeared in the inner hull, and in the later stages of the battle, the "Sixth Day Demon King", which was inflexible in turn, had already threatened its bow and stern by the Guards Fleet, and the weak armor on both sides was shelled, which was also the main factor in Kondo Mijin's retreat.

The "Sixth Day Demon King" needs to be repaired, and the continuous battles show that the Northern Fleet is obviously not a soft persimmon kneaded at will, in order not to have an accident in the next battle, the "Sixth Day Demon King" must be kept in good condition, and at the same time, a large number of injured warships in the Fuso fleet also need to be repaired, otherwise it will not be able to guarantee the ships used for the next stage of attack.

At the request of Kondo Mikami, Sanchihonryusura handed over the task of blocking the port of the stars to the official port of Jeju Island to his subordinates. He rushed to the large ship group of the Fuso fleet, and he saw the loss of the Owari fleet in his eyes, and the mustard of Kondo Mijin in his heart was also slightly reduced.

In fact, Kondo Okami was originally thinking of winning the war and fame alone, but he didn't expect the devastating war of annihilation in his heart to be fought like this, and now he wants to take the "Sixth Heavenly Demon King" Nagasaki for maintenance, and the command of the Fuso fleet needs to be temporarily handed over to the three thousand honryusa.

After exchanging a few words between the two about the current battle situation, Kondo Okami said: "The Guards Fleet has been disabled, and the Northern Fleet has not even the last reserve warship this time, and in the few days since I left, I hope you can continue to attack the Northern Fleet." The attack point is to choose the No. 4 position on the right, the combat mission is to be able to lay the No. 4 position is the best, if you can't beat it down, continue to consume the warships of the Northern Fleet, without giving them any time to breathe, Nagasaki repairs the ship much faster than Xingchen Town, and when I return with the repaired battleship, it is the moment of the general attack of the Fuso fleet. ”

Sanqian Honliu Sakura said lightly: "You can rest assured, five brigs and a batch of supplies will arrive tomorrow, and I will personally lead the fleet to attack when the time comes." By the time you come back, maybe I've taken all the outlying positions in Star Town. ”

Kondo Okami nodded and said: "The captaincy skills of the three thousand Benjun are unrivaled, so I wish you a long time in martial arts!" ”

On the sea off Nagasaki, Gangzi received information from the intelligence department of the Lingxiao Legion: "The commander of the Fuso fleet, Kondo Mijin, piloted the 'Sixth Heavenly Demon King' and twenty damaged brigs have left the Fuso ship group, and now five lightly injured brigs and fifteen sloops are escorting back to Nagasaki. There are our intelligence officers on board the dhow to keep track of the whereabouts of the Sixth Heavenly Demon King. ”

As soon as Gangzi's plan to ambush the "Sixth Day Demon King" was reported, Huacai immediately sealed off the United Front Work Department of the Navy, and during the ambush, the personnel of the United Front Work Department were not allowed to leave, whether they were eating or staying.

The technical department began to analyze the condition of the hull of the "Sixth Heavenly Demon King" and twenty damaged ships through images given by intelligence officers.

In order to guarantee the speed of sailing. The "Sixth Day Demon King" has removed the armor plates attached to the outer wall of the ship, which is good news for the mixed fleet, so that the mixed fleet does not have to deliberately attack the bow and stern of the "Sixth Day Demon King". Attacking and defending can be more flexible.

As far as the damage is concerned, the "Sixth Day Demon King" does not appear to be too badly injured, and the overall performance of the ship has not been reduced too much, at least not in terms of appearance. However, if he was not injured, how could Kondo Gojin give up commanding the battle on the front line and return to Nagasaki to repair the ship? The strike of the Guards could not have been without success.

According to the analysis of technicians, the injury of the "Sixth Day Demon King" should be on the wall of the ship, and the armor plate attached to it can certainly resist the penetration of the shell, but the potential energy of the shell is accepted by the wall of the ship without reservation, and the shock has great damage to the wall as a whole, and the wood that constitutes the wall of the ship will be dislocated and loosened due to vibration, and it is a good choice to continue to attack the port side of the "Sixth Day Demon King" that has been frequently hit by the Guards fleet.

The 20 brigs that accompanied the repairs to Nagasaki were the most seriously injured part of the Fuso fleet, and most of them were no longer able to exert all the firepower of their side guns, and their hull structure was seriously damaged, and their combat capability was very low.

The five brigs and fifteen sloops in charge of escorting the convoy were more or less damaged, but not to the extent that they affected their combat effectiveness.

Then there is the damage description of each ship issued by the technical department, and at the same time, the strengths and weaknesses of each battleship of Fuso are given in combination with the captain's ability of each ship.

Tsuyoko had a total of fourteen brigs in the mixed fleet and the star fleet, which was not an optimistic number in terms of the number of warships on both sides, even if most of Kondo's fleet were wounded.

"Okay, the situation of our target this time must be clear to everyone, now Kondo Okami has led the fleet out of the Fuso ship group, and it is expected to arrive here tomorrow morning, during this time, we can only hope that our battleship has not been discovered in any way, and for this reason, we also hope that our friends on the Fuso inner line will work hard all night, it can be said that if this operation can be successful, you are the greatest hero, but we can't make your name public, I sincerely thank you on behalf of myself for your silent efforts."

"In tomorrow's battle, we will not assign troops to pursue or intercept. With the speed of the 'Sixth Day Demon King' and twenty wounded ships, it is impossible for them to escape when they see us, and it will be an encounter that will end with one side being completely annihilated. ”

"At the beginning of the battle, the mixed fleet is divided into five formations to advance quickly, the specific command of the tactical battle is in charge of your longship naval captain, the PK five-person team is responsible for data support and blocking shells for your longship, the first target of the battle is the 'Sixth Day Demon King', priority is to attack its port side, which is its weakest point, the secondary target is the twenty wounded ships, and other free attacks."

"The Star Fleet is attacking from the outside of the side lane. Keep an eye out for the Sixth Heavenly Demon King, and if it abandons these ships and flees, you will be responsible for catching up with it. ”

"Got it!"

"Understood!"

"Good! It can be said that once our two fleets meet, both Fuso's Kyushu Island sailors and Fuso fleets will send warships to the rescue, so we don't have time to fight slowly with Kondo Mijin, and fight quickly and quickly. Put away your usual laziness and follow your longship closely, they have a way to break in, as long as you don't fall behind. ”

Once again, night fell. The mixed fleet and the star fleet parked the warships next to each other on the sea, such a method would not be able to react quickly in the event of an attack, but in order to reduce the chance of detection, it was only possible to take risks like this. The four small galleons on the periphery were still spinning faithfully. But the blind spot of their monitoring has become larger, but in order to have timely warning, they still maintain the warning range during the day. All other uncertainties are left to luck.

It's about to take a two-masted battleship against a three-masted battleship, and it's really ...... Without the slightest feeling of excitement, what is a three-masted battleship? Isn't it just a little bigger, a little thicker, a little more artillery, and my brother doesn't have a record of sinking a three-masted battleship, although it was originally a tail sweep for the Donglai Navy, but it was also a sunken three-masted battleship, isn't it? It's just that this kind of experience is not good to tell his subordinates to cheer them up, otherwise my brother will definitely have to work a night shift and give them a hundred times about my brother's glorious journey.

I don't know if my subordinates are also worried about tomorrow's battle, but as a commander and a good big brother, it is still necessary to talk to my subordinates to improve their morale.

"Waiting is actually a necessary test for a good captain, finding small things to distract you can effectively relieve stress, such as ......"

"Big brother, are you talking about the recent 'school flowers and school grass' selection to be held by the college alliance?"

“……”

"An emotional ruler like Big Brother must have already signed up for the competition, isn't it Big Brother?"

“……”

"Sign up? How could the eldest brother do such a low-level thing, the eldest brother must be a judge in the 'school flower' area, isn't it the eldest brother? ”

“……”

"Big brother, you now have a current sister-in-law and a former sister-in-law, if there is someone who is willing to be 'dived' in this review, the younger brother is willing to do it for you."

Gangzi hurriedly turned off the communication, these guys don't seem to need to cheer up their brother, and ...... Does my brother need to do it for me?

However, it is indeed interesting to organize the selection of "school flowers and school grass" organized by the college alliance, why haven't you heard the girl say it? I don't know if the little sister has signed up?

During the day, Tang Yao led the Lingxiao Guards Legion to attack, and in order to publicize, the Lingxiao Legion deliberately set aside a separate shot for the whole live broadcast in many battle shooting videos, in addition to filming the pictures of the heroic battle of the Guards Fleet, but also gave this "Flower of the Legion" a few close-ups.

The well-tailored legion uniform sets off the beautiful figure, the suffocating cheeks are stained with dust from nowhere, and the billowing gunpowder smoke and determined eyes around him make people feel no blasphemy. This time, Tang Yao used a real performance to repel all the rumors that called her a "vase", which made her popularity soar, and for this reason, Huacai also specially talked to her for a long time about the publicity plan of the future Lingxiao Army.

Ending the call with Huacai, with a vision for the future, Tang Yao was the first to think of Gangzi and wanted to share his feelings with him.

"What are you doing? Elder brother? ”

"Look at the 'school flower' audition!"

"......" (To be continued......)
