"If you really want to die, we can't stop it." The corners of He Jiaben's mouth appeared with ridicule.

"Uh...... The Qinglong turned, these self-defeating Fuso people, ask for more blessings. Li Fucheng shook his head, walked into the lightly armored protected cockpit with his hands, and closed the hatch casually.

On the blue sea of Nagasaki Bay

The Qinglong battleship was turning at a large angle, the propeller driven by the twin shafts of the stern rotated strongly to push out a long snow-white wake, and the huge hull drew a huge question mark on the sea surface, and turned around violently.

This is the case

Let the captain of the Fuso ironclad ship, Arai Yougong Navy Dazuo, fall into the cold kiln, trembling involuntarily because of fear, and shouted hoarsely; "The enemy ship turns, the whole combat readiness, reports the boiler pressure."

"Report to the captain, the boiler pressure has risen to 3.3 atmospheres, and it will take a quarter of an hour before it is fully prepared."

"There's no time to prepare, so I'll untie the cable, start the steam engine and sail slowly, and leave the dock first."

"Obey, start the steam engine, and sail slowly."

"Report on the readiness of a gun emplacement."

"Report to the captain, the shells of each gun position have been loaded, and the main gun position is waiting for the steam pressure to push, and the gun cannot be adjusted for the time being."

"Summons the order to go down and manually adjust the gun, hurry up."

"Obey the order, manually adjust the gun."

The terrible battle alarm spread throughout the ship, and the gunners on the main gun positions frantically turned the handles, mobilizing the heavy gun body to slowly turn, although they used a lot of strength, but the slow rotation of the cannon was desperate.

The German-made Krupp 240mm main naval gun rotates 90 degrees to shake more than 370 times, and it takes 3~4 minutes to shake hundreds of times a minute.

The Fuso warship was shrouded in a desperate atmosphere, the tall chimney emitted thicker black smoke, the propeller rotated at low speed to drive the hull of the ship to slowly leave the dock, the sailors of all gun positions were shaking the handle frantically, and many sailors cried loudly out of fear.

Just three or four nautical miles away

The terrifying six huge 280-mm guns of the heavy cruiser Blue Dragon had been turned around and aimed at the Japanese ship with a chilling killing intent.

This is not a fair naval battle, but a one-sided slaughter.

"Warning, this is the last warning, all Japanese ships must shut down the steam main engine, flatten the muzzle and surrender on the spot, otherwise they will all be killed."

"Warning, this is the last warning, you have 5 minutes to think about it, the surrendered ship must be the first to raise the white flag, otherwise it will be regarded as stubborn resistance and sunk."

"Warning, this is the last warning, the countdown is 4 and a half minutes, and those who resist will be killed! Don't be unpredictable. ”

The icy shouts of the brass horns resounded inside and outside the bay, as if the drum beat of death beat in the depths of the hearts of the Fuso people, causing a tumbling wave.

Fear and despair combined with hysteria are simply maddening.

Nagasaki Pier

"Amaterasu bless, the fearless Yamato warriors assault...... Let's meet at the shrine! ”

Order

The mob from the residential area near the pier rushed out, including soldiers, policemen, wandering samurai and urban civilians, armed with rifles, katanas, and spears, shouting slogans and madness in their eyes.

The crowd rushed out of the city block more than 400 meters away, quickly converged into a surging crowd, and killed it in the direction of the dock.

There were sporadic piles of goods and stacks along the way, and the thugs quickly crossed the area, getting closer and closer to the two machine-gun forts that were defending.

280 m ...... 220 m ...... 170 m ...... 120 m ......

"Kill, kill all the people of Queensland."

"Die, China."

"Onboard, for victory...... Kill! ”

The thugs screamed and rushed up, their faces distorted by the extreme excitement, and the light of their swords converged into a forest like an unstoppable torrent.

Lieutenant Ben-Affleck, though he could not understand what they were shouting, knew that it was not a good word to think about it with his toes, and his gray-blue eyes became cold and unforgiving, and he raised his right hand and said;

"Wait a minute, let them run closer."

"Everyone, calm down, these damn little devils will pay a heavy price for their arrogance, I promise."

"Wait a little longer......"

"All of them now, guns raised...... Fire. ”

After the mob rushed within 100 meters, Lieutenant Ben Affleck decisively waved his hand down and gave the order to open fire.

"Dada...... Da Da Da ...... Dada......"

The Maxim heavy machine gun roared in rage, throwing a rain of fiery bullets like a whip of death fire, firing at a full rate of 600 rounds per minute.

Each machine gun fort is equipped with two Makqin heavy machine guns, more than 20 officers and soldiers, a total of four machine gun forts, plus two Makqin heavy machine guns on the "Postman" coal carrier, forming a dense machine gun fire network that mercilessly harvests human lives.

The ferocious crowd of people who rushed fell down one after another like leeks, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the dead and wounded pillows.

Just two or three minutes

The ferocious pouring fire of the raging heavy machine guns, coupled with the assistance of the platoon guns of the soldiers of the Huayong Battalion, a large piece was fiercely gnawed off from the crowd of attackers, leaving corpses everywhere and quickly retreating.

The sea breeze blew, blowing the strong smell of blood into the distance, spreading the smell of death.

Nearly 200 people were killed and wounded in this little time alone, and the fire network composed of heavy machine guns showed amazing killing efficiency, and the rioters were frightened by such a bloody scene, and the Fuso thugs who fled in confusion discarded their rifles and knives in panic, only hating their parents for missing two feet.

Seeing that the soldiers who were unable to stop the rout, the angry Japanese commander raised the sharp sword in his hand and slashed several deserters in succession.

Behind the stacks and stacks were a dense mass of deserters, who were so frightened that they could barely muster the courage to face the heavy machine-gun slaughter.

In the charge of the square

The wandering warriors, who were not afraid of death, rushed to the front and suffered the most casualties.

Several fierce Japanese commanders kicked and beat the mob and forced the thugs to stand up and regroup, they were still ready to launch the next wave of attacks.

"Aim at the enemy commander and fire ......"

Order

The sound of bursting bean-like guns rang out continuously, and several blood holes immediately appeared in the bodies of the two commanders who were standing next to the pile and kicked the soldiers, and they fell to the ground without saying a word, causing an uproar among the deserters.

At this time, no matter how stupid the remaining commanders were, they knew that they couldn't show their heads, so they hurriedly hid.

At a distance of 100~200 meters between the two sides of the battle, the dense platoon of guns of the soldiers of the Huayong Battalion covered it, showing a fairly high level of shooting, killing two Japanese grassroots commanders on the spot.

As a result, the next round of attacks was stillborn, and it became increasingly difficult to regroup the discouraged thugs.

Victory in the first battle

He Jiaben's heart that was originally nervously lifted fell back into his stomach, and the external strength of these Japanese slaves made him breathe a long sigh of relief, today's battle at the dock was his first battle in his military career, the first time in the world.

Let's be honest

Seeing a large number of malicious thugs gathering, He Jiaben, who was just approaching the battle formation, was indeed a little flustered, and he had no confidence at all.

He was a naval officer who was deeply influenced by the naval education of the British aristocracy, and from the elegant manners to the shiny leather shoes that were worn at all times, they had nothing to do with the current life-and-death infantry combat, and were completely different things.

He stood on the ship's floor, the strong smell of blood in the wind in his mouth and nose, the originally peaceful open space of the dock was filled with corpses, the land was dyed blood-red, and the desperate screams of the wounded converged into one, as if he were in a slaughterhouse.

A strong feeling of nausea came up, and the He family had no time to cover his mouth and nose and vomit wildly, and then he chattered and vomited repeatedly, until he vomited everything he could, and then he struggled to stand up again.

Be strong, be stronger, bloody fighting is the true character of a soldier.

He Jiaben cheered himself up over and over again, but when he turned around and saw the corpses all over the dock, he smelled a strong smell of blood between his mouth and nose, and a strong feeling of nausea hit again; "Wow......"

Retched for a moment until he couldn't vomit anymore.

Inside the azure bay of Nagasaki

"Warning, this is the last serious warning, 30 seconds countdown, you only have one last chance to surrender, life and death are in the same thought."

The icy warning sound echoed on the sea, and at this time, the main ironclad ships of the Japanese side, the Fuso, Hiei, and Kongo, had just left the dock and were slowly adjusting their direction, and the officers and men on the ships were ready for battle.

That's when it happened

Seven or eight torpedo boats rushed out of the slanted thorns in the depths of the bay and struck at the heavy cruiser "Qinglong" at an extremely high speed, which could reach a speed of more than 20 knots.

These torpedo boats are buying time for the main ironclad ships, and the lethality of the torpedoes is extremely strong, and if they are allowed to get close to launching steam torpedoes, a heavy cruiser of the Blue Dragon will definitely suffer a big loss.

These torpedo boats, with a displacement of just over 80 tons, rushed up like death squads, and the officers and men who operated the torpedo boats wore strips of white cloth tied to their heads, on which Chinese characters such as "victory" or "loyalty" and "kill" were written to express confidence in fighting to the death.

It is said that this thing is called "bowl belt", also called "jade broken belt", the Boxers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty also liked to engage in this tune, and then went back to the Tang and Song dynasties, and even the Han Dynasty when the Yellow Turban Army uprising, it seems to be called "wiping the forehead".

But most of the Han people use other colors of cloth, cyan, yellow, red, brown, black, all kinds of colors, but no one uses white.

Because according to the customs of the Han people, this is a filial piety belt that only a filial son will bring, and if it is unlucky, a fool will use it.
