On the coast of Qiongzhou Prefecture, I don't know when bursts of drums began to sound.It seemed that the thunder on the horizon came from far and near, and in a short time it spread throughout the entire sea area of the battle.The two sides that were fighting in the strait were shocked and looked up.I saw that on the cliffs and walls of the coast, the flags of the mountains were flying, and the drums were vibrating."
General, give the order to break out, we are surrounded."
Owen saw that everything understood this situation, and hurriedly ran to He Bo's side, shouting to dissuade him."
Panic what, Blair will definitely come back, Blair will definitely come back and give me a hard blow to the Chinese fleet, our British Empire will always be the most powerful" He Bo's mood was in turmoil, and he was completely out of control.China's Second Fleet is completely new ships and new guns, and its firepower is even more powerful than the previous First Fleet.Two of the nine warships of the second batch of He Bo had been blown up by artillery shells and slowly sank into the sea.At this time, a person stood on the cliff, wearing a navy white general's uniform, looked around the battlefield with a telescope, and calmly waved the order flag in his hand.The coast instantly shook like an earthquake.The sparks all over the mountains were shooting in all directions, and all kinds of cannonballs seemed to be locusts sweeping the territory, and they smashed towards the foreign fleet in the sea."
Boom, boom, boom."
The sea was boiling like a pot of oil at this moment, and the foreigner's warship seemed to have encountered a burst of hail, and there was no place to hide.All kinds of bombs scattered in an instant, like a goddess scattering flowers, shrapnel flew wildly, and the deck was full of devastation."
Commander, I understand, we deliberately lured foreign devils here" Deng Shichang looked around at the roar of artillery on the long coastline, and suddenly became enlightened."
When it comes to ships and firearms, foreign devils have been going hundreds of years ahead, but when it comes to the art of war, we are the ancestors of foreign devils."
Zheng Dahai kept waving his hand from the shore, and the rumbling sound of artillery had covered the entire sea area of the battle.On that day, Huang Wenzhong decided on this strategy of inviting the king into Wen and ambushing him from all sides, and quickly exchanged views with Chen Bingwen, and the artillery regiment of the former division was fully loaded on the shore to do a good job of ambushing.As soon as the foreigner's ships arrived at the ambush position, Huang Wenzhong ordered the artillery regiment to prepare for shooting.After the First Fleet and the Second Fleet joined the battlefield one after another, all the foreign warships cruised in the strait, aiming all the guns on the side of the ship at the sea.Only then did Huang Wenzhong order the artillery regiment to bombard it without counting ammunition, and it was only 500 meters away from the foreign warship.Even mortars, relying on the condescending terrain, are enough to bombard the warships of foreigners.At this point, there is no doubt about the outcome of the victory, and the God that He prayed to has no effect.Under the intensive fire of the Chinese fleet and shore artillery, eight of the eighteen battleships of the foreigners had sunk, and all the rest were scarred.The masts, sails, and batteries on the deck were almost all blown to pieces.Hobo had been pulled closer to the cockpit by Owen to avoid the gunfire, and several large holes had been bombed into the deck, and the cabin was in danger.Relying on the thickness of the iron armor, the guns of the Chinese ships have not penetrated the iron armor for the time being, but the shells falling from the sky have smashed into the deck one after another."
Break through, break out, break out" He Bo risked being killed by shells on the deck to observe the enemy's situation, and seeing that the general trend had gone, he finally ordered all ships to quickly break through the encirclement.When the foreigners' warships received the military order, they hurriedly turned their bows at full speed."
Brethren, victory is at hand, full speed ahead."
Zheng Dahai saw that the foreigner's fleet was showing signs of retreating, roared, and quickly turned the second fleet into an attacking formation."
Soldiers, victory is at hand, hold it for me."
Wang Zhenyuan also waved the order flag in his hand at this moment, ready to swear to block the retreat of the foreigners.The decisive battle began, and the only ten remaining warships of the coalition army were changed from a horizontal formation to a Taiji formation.In an attempt to shell the small ships on the left and right wings of the Second Fleet with their speedboats, in order to avoid the huge projectile fire of the Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong warships, they hereby resorted to a "trick of avoiding the real and attacking the false."
At this time, the foreign warships in the second batch, from left to right, circled to the right side of the horizontal formation of the Chinese Second Fleet, and avoided the fire of the artillery on the shore.The right flanks of the Second Fleet were two 6,000-ton warships "Lishui" and "Jinhua".In the face of the attack of the second batch of six warships of the foreigners, they tried their best to resist, but because the gap was too large, after a burst of intensive bombardment, they were hit by a bullet and caught fire.The first batch of four warships of the foreigners were also fleeing in a panic, and were bombarded into slag by the First Fleet that caught up later.The Chinese Second Fleet quickly changed its formation, changing from a horizontal formation to an immediate turn to the left and right, with the bow pointing to the six fleets of foreigners.The fleet quickly transformed into a "herringbone array", and the tip was inserted into the enemy formation, cutting off the formation of foreign ships.The battleships "Guangdong", "Fujian", and "Zhejiang" violently attacked the middle command ship of the foreigner fleet by firing the main guns of the general, and the other ships also fired port guns to attack the four ships on both sides of the enemy.The total tonnage of the command ship where He Bo was located was also about 8,000 tons, and it was hooded by three huge cannons.Hurriedly turning the bow of the ship to the right, he ventured into the middle of the "Guangdong" and "Fujian" in a vain attempt to take a shortcut and rush out alone.But at this time, where could he escape, and in an instant, the rear deck of the command ship had completely ignited a fire, spewing out thick smoke and soaring into the sky.The cabin shook violently, and Owen was accidentally thrown to the ground, and suggested loudly with a sad face, "General, let's surrender."
The ship is sinking, the ship is sinking" He Bo's face was full of anger, his whole body had been blackened by the thick smoke scattered everywhere, but he stubbornly held his body and roared loudly, "Bastard, when did our Royal Navy of the British Empire surrender to people.The Chinese still can't help us" At this time, the command ship had already stormed the middle of the two ships, the "Guangdong" and the "Fujian," and the three 8,000-ton behemoths were each less than 200 meters apart.Almost at the same time, almost all of the guns on the side of the ship roared."
Bang, bang, bang" fires splashed and shells flew in unison.The command ship where He Bo was located was attacked on both sides, and after a burst of cannon fire, it was blown apart like a goddess scattering flowers.The only four remaining warships of the foreigners were bombed and riddled with holes, but fortunately they did not sink, and all raised the white flag and surrendered."
Victory, victory, victory, victory" The officers and soldiers and civilians who had the good fortune to witness this naval battle on the coast all raised their arms and shouted.This cry seemed to be suffocated for a century, and the shouts of the mountains moved the gods.Before dawn at the Nanjing Presidential Palace, bursts of cheers came from the intelligence department of the presidential compound.Wei Ziyou waved the military newspaper in his hand, and couldn't wait for Qiao Zhiqing to respond, so he opened the door and rushed into the study."
Who" Qiao Zhi was in a daze, and suddenly heard the door open.With a twist of his waist, he pulled out the shell gun from under the pillow and got up and pointed at the door.Wei Ziyou was stunned in place for a moment, his eyes widened and he screamed in horror.Qiao Zhiqing reacted at this time, and found himself naked with a gun facing Wei Ziyou, and the gun below seemed to be standing upright.The room fell into embarrassment all of a sudden, and Wei Ziyou's eyes involuntarily stared at the hideous-looking behemoth.The little face quickly turned from frightened to shy, eager to find a crack in the ground immediately."
Ziyou, you go out first, and then come in when I get dressed."
Qiao Zhiqing pretended to be calm and stood still, his body motionless.Looking at Wei Ziyou's shy appearance, he couldn't help but laugh evilly in his heart."
Okay" Wei Ziyou nodded again and again, and quickly turned his head and walked out of the study.Covering his little face, he kept making a cowardly posture, and his face was already red to the base of his neck."
Alright, come in."
After a while, Qiao Zhiqing's command came from the study.Wei Ziyou took a deep breath outside the door, shook his little head vigorously, and after calming down, he finally stepped into the house."
What's the matter, so excited," Qiao Zhiqing asked while washing."
Good news, good news from Hainan.Huang Wenzhong, commander-in-chief of the Navy, sent back a message from Hainan that our army had completely annihilated the combined fleet of foreigners in the Qiongzhou Strait.Of the fifty-three ships of the foreigners, twenty-eight wooden ships and sixteen ironclad ships were sunk.Five Dutch wooden ships escaped, and four British ironclad battleships were captured.This is the specific casualty situation, and I would like to ask the President to look at it. ”Wei Ziyou didn't seem to have recovered from the shock just now, and put the information in his hand on the desk, not daring to look up into his eyes.She is only twenty years old this year, and the first time she has seen a man's body in her life is completely different from what she imagined.Although she was very shy just now, she couldn't help but peep at it, and that thing really scared her little heart out.Qiao Zhiqing was stunned for a long time, wiped his face with a towel, and hurriedly picked up the military newspaper and checked it carefully."
Ha, ha, ha, ha" Qiao Zhiqing raised his head and suddenly laughed unbridledly, and threw the military newspaper out like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers."
Congratulations to Brother Qiao, the navy won this great victory for the first ocean-going operation."
Wei Ziyou looked at Qiao Zhiqing's excited appearance, and also laughed stupidly."
It's painful, it's painful, it's painful, hurry up and polish the ink for Brother Qiao.Brother Qiao wants to make a poem and give it to the navy. ”Qiao Zhiqing opened the rice paper, his belly was full of Chinese thoughts, and poetry was flourishing."
Okay."
Wei Ziyou hurriedly rolled up his sleeves, took the inkstone, and grinded it skillfully.Qiao Zhiqing didn't think about it, and put pen to paper, "The South China Sea is pale and yellow, and the steel is strong across the ocean.The Chinese dragon is better than the past, and the world is turned upside down and generous.Since then, it has spanned 3,000 miles, and no one in the world is satisfied. ”"Good poetry, good poetry.Mighty, domineering. ”Wei Ziyou read it out in a coquettish voice on the side, and his little face praised him excitedly, and he unconsciously admired Qiao Zhiqing for three points."
Ziyou, let the good news and this poem be printed by the Central Daily.I want all Han people to know that our new China has stood up from now on. ”The corners of Qiao Zhiqing's eyes were even flashing with tears at this time.He had been looking forward to this day for too long, too long
