Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Seymour led six battleships, ten cruisers, and five large torpedo boats to quickly appear off the coast of Busan Port, divided into four formations, with a huge momentum and majestic momentum, which immediately shocked Dongxiang and others.

    Especially the battleship in the first row scared Dongxiang half to death. Dongxiang had never even heard of such a huge battleship, let alone seen it. As the commander of the Japanese joint fleet, he had no idea about it.  Even if the navies of all the countries in the world know it well, at least the countries with such amazing warships will definitely hear about it.

    Before Togo could wake up from the shock, Kato Yusaburo spoke again. His voice trembled and he screamed with fear: "It's the Beiyang Fleet, it's the Beiyang Fleet!"

    It turns out that Kato Yusaburo saw the dragon flag of the Beiyang Fleet.

    When Dongxiang heard this, his feet softened and he almost fell to the ground. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He turned to look at Kato Yusaburo. Both of them were shocked.

    "We fell into the Chinese people's scheme! 'Tianjin', 'Dalian', and the Chinese people have hidden their strength. We have never received news about this latest warship." Dongxiang looked pale and his lips trembled.  As he said this, he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He originally had a lot of gray hair, but now his hair looked completely white.

    Turching his brains to design this strategy that considers heavenly seamlessly, but it is empty to come to the head. Not only is it empty, it looks like someone else has set up a trap.

    ¡°The strength of the Beiyang Navy is far more powerful than I and others imagined. Are you just going to lure yourself and others into taking the bait step by step?

    "General, there is news from the base camp that the Beiyang Fleet has been in our sight and is still shelling our city." A telegraph operator rushed over with a telegram without knowing the current affairs.

    "Baga! The waste of the base camp, idiot!" Dongxiang grabbed the telegram angrily, tore it into pieces, and then gave the telegraph operator a hard slap in the face.

    Now that everything has come to light, Dongxiang puts all the blame on the Japanese base camp, thinking that without the Japanese base camp¡¯s repeated urging, how could the navy fall into the trap? As long as the U.S. fleet arrives,  Everything will be reversed.

    "Togo-kun, we should escape quickly." Chief of Staff Kato Yusaburo looked at the Beiyang Fleet getting closer and closer, and the fear in his heart grew stronger.

    "Run away, Kato, look at our retreat." Dongxiang's eyes were filled with helplessness and sadness.

    Tomosaburo Kato looked towards the port. The burning warships occupied part of the channel. If the warships wanted to exit, they had to change their formation. Only three warships could sail out side by side. Looking at the mighty Beiyang Fleet coming,  Isn't this asking for death?

    "Gentlemen, this is the time for us to be loyal to the empire for the last time. Send a telegram to the base camp: The fleet has been tricked. Please take care of yourself." Togo Heihachiro did not say any other nonsense, but took out the command sword in his hand.

    "Our fleet is coming!" On the shore, seeing his own fleet finally appearing, the stone in Ma Jinxu's heart immediately fell to the ground. He finally knew why the previous dynasty was attacked repeatedly in the capital, because the only one who can deal with the navy, no matter how many, is the navy.  Coastal guns were useless.

    "Look where the Japanese are going to escape. We are trying to catch a turtle in a jar."

    "It's about catching ghosts. Catching turtles is too much for the Japanese."

    Inside the turret, all the soldiers were inexplicably excited. Although they had sunk two enemy ships, they had to withstand the fierce fire all the time, and they didn't know when the turret would be blown down. They were still a little worried.  .

    Now that I saw my own fleet arriving, I felt relaxed.

    "Free fire!" Ma Jinxu saw that the Japanese fleet was retreating a lot, and he immediately changed the combat policy. Now the protagonist on the battlefield has become the navy. They and the land forces are just cooperating, but even if they are cooperating, the enemy ships have to wait.  A constant reminder of fear.

    "Right full rudder, seize the T position!" Seymour saw the Japanese ship panic, with a hint of ridicule on his face, and thought to himself: The Japanese fleet is just a student of our British, don't say that the current fleet is stronger than yours, even if it is not  Even if he is strong, he can defeat you.  "

    "Right full rudder, General, are you sure?" an adjutant asked quickly, because according to the current formation, left full rudder is not seizing the T prefix at all.

    "Yes!" Seymour responded calmly.

    Although I was puzzled, the order was quickly issued. Surprisingly, the Beiyang Fleet completed its turn and was really in the prefix T.

    It turns out that Dongxiang had previously issued an order to turn right, hoping to seize the T-head position of the Beiyang Navy, and planned to concentrate his firepower on the Shanghai first.

    Who would have thought that Seymour saw through his intentions and made the next move in advance??Putting the Japanese fleet at a disadvantage.

    With Seymour¡¯s order, the Beiyang Fleet began to roar.

    On the Shanghai, there were five twin-mounted 12-inch/45-caliber guns and 27 12-pound guns. At the same time, the Japanese fleet finally turned to the "New High" to violently attack. The fragile cruiser protection could not withstand such a side attack.  Heavy broadside fire.

    The front starboard side of the "Xingao", which had just turned halfway, was hit by several shells and burst into flames.

    Dongxiang¡¯s face suddenly sank. The other party¡¯s commander was so powerful that he actually guessed his intentions and responded quickly.

    Dongxiang didn't know that it was Seymour who commanded the battle. The three Seymours were captured and rebelled and became generals of the Chinese Empire. This has always been a shame to the navies of the British, French and German navies. They could not spread the word everywhere, let alone Wei Jichen.  They showed it off everywhere, but treated it as a military secret and asked the navy officers and soldiers to keep it secret. Therefore, the Japanese did not even know the Chinese commander, and thought it was either Liu Buchan or He Pinzhang.

    Dongxiang did not dare to take any more risks, but immediately transferred the team back.

    "Shanghai, however, led a team of warships and continued to charge diagonally towards them without mercy.

    "What do the Chinese want to do? The whole ship opened fire." Dongxiang was overjoyed in his heart. The word 'Shanghai' was just on his lips for him to attack. Could it be because the other party's captain was newly promoted? Also, this new type of  How could a warship join the battle immediately without more than half a year of training?

    Following Dongxiang's order, all the firepower of the Japanese fleet on the port side immediately headed towards the Shanghai. In an instant, four Japanese battleships opened fire at the same time. Together with other cruisers, more than a hundred artillery shells fell near the Shanghai.  The sea water nearby boiled immediately.

    The firepower on all sides of the four battleships was very fierce. In just one minute, the Shanghai was hit by four 305mm shells.

    However, despite the billowing black smoke, the violent explosion Dongxiang expected did not sound.

    Seymour frowned slightly. He had discovered Delis's intention a long time ago, and finally thought about it and let him go.

    Delis wanted to rely on the defensive power of the dreadnought to separate the Japanese fleet horizontally, and then turn it into a "" position. At that time, all the left and right side guns of the Shanghai fleet could fire, giving the Japanese fleet a fatal blow.

    In order to echo Delis's intention, Seymour had no choice but to order other teams to open fire to attract some firepower for the Shanghai team.

    However, Dongxiang is not a mediocre person. He immediately saw Delis's intention and discovered the powerful defense of the Shanghai. However, for him, this was also an opportunity. He could only seize this opportunity to kill the Shanghai first.  , only the Japanese fleet has a chance of winning.

    "Fire, keep firing, don't avoid it, sink it for me!" Xixiang made a desperate move, waving the command knife and roaring repeatedly.

    The Japanese fleet fired another volley of firepower. The shells flying in overwhelmingly exploded one after another at the front, rear, left and right of the Shanghai, stirring up countless water jets.

    Several shells hit the central island of the Shanghai and exploded, causing sparks to fly and create meteor-like trajectories in mid-air.  After splashing onto the surrounding decks, flames immediately ignited. As the shells hit one after another, the flames were annihilated by the violent explosion air waves, ignited again, and annihilated again. Repeatedly, there was a mess like burning fragments everywhere.  , the mast tilted and Xiaoyanbai was hit with holes everywhere, and thick smoke roared out from all sides, filling the surroundings of the battleship.

    However, although the Shanghai suffered a lot of damage, it did not receive a fatal blow. Instead, it relied on its speed advantage to insert itself into the Japanese fleet in an instant.

    Suddenly, the Japanese fleet was forced to split into two parts.

    On the bridge, Captain Delis of the Shanghai relaxed his clenched fists. Ordinarily, the Germans should not take such risks, but he saw that the dreadnought's armor was surface-hardened, and the armor thickness in important parts reached 11 inches, providing  comprehensive protection capability.

    The watertight compartment under the waterline of the hull cabin has eliminated the transverse contact door, strengthened the watertight structure, and improved the anti-sinking ability of the warship.

    So, he decided to take a risk for a while. It turned out that the risk was worth taking. The Dalian and two other cruisers following the Shanghai also interspersed in.

    "Soldiers, it's time to fight back." Delis shouted loudly. The Shanghai, Dalian and other ships opened fire on the left and right at the same time. The gunfire on the left and right sides was like rain, pouring crazily towards the Japanese ships.

    Especially the Shanghai, the 12-inch/45-caliber artillery is not for fun. The starboard side of a Japanese ship was bombarded and exploded all the way to the port side. It was cut through the middle like a chainsaw, and countless Japanese sailors screamed.  The sound was buried in the sea of ????fire, and the command located in the centerThe tower bridge was even smashed to pieces.

    Fierce, so ferocious!

    When Dongxiang on the Mikasa saw this situation, his body shivered, and he saw explosion flames and flying hull fragments everywhere.

    "We must not allow this battleship to continue shelling, otherwise the Imperial Navy will be doomed." Dongxiang felt helpless in his heart.

    In a short period of time, two Japanese ships were annihilated under the shelling of the Shanghai. Not only did the Japanese people tremble with fear, but the Beiyang officers and soldiers were also surprised.

    It can be said that the Shanghai has become famous in one fell swoop, and it is worthy of such a large tonnage.
