Early the next morning, a large fleet of troops galloped towards Ise Bay.After breaking through yesterday from the encirclement of the East China Sea Fleet, the two US warships that escaped from the East China Sea Fleet hurriedly returned to the Kii Peninsula, 300 nautical miles away.The main forces of Britain, France, and the United States have already resupplied here, ready to look for an opportunity to annihilate the fleet of the Huaxing army.No one on those two ironclad battleships paid attention to anything in the sky, and their every move was completely monitored by the First Squadron of Huaxing Army Aviation."
These Huaxing troops are really barbaric, they drove us out of China, not to mention, they don't want us to gain a foothold in Japan.If you don't teach them a good lesson, they won't know who is the overlord of the sea" Brude, the former commander of the French navy and land in China, got up angrily and scolded after listening to the urgent report of the American warship, and kept beating the council table with the cane of his right hand.The parliamentary chamber was furiously dreary, where the naval and land commanders of Britain, France, and the United States gathered."
That's right, we put up with them again and again.This Far East does not belong to his Huaxing army, we have evacuated to Japan, and they still want to destroy us.This time, we will fight to the death with the Huaxing army, and if we don't defeat them, we will never have a peaceful day in the Far East," Johnson, the British commander in Japan, also scolded.Their British power in the Far East has plummeted since the Great War in the South China Sea.Now that Japan has to obey the command of the United States, Johnson has long been eager to defeat the Huaxing Army and take revenge."
Ladies and gentlemen, we in the United States have just ended the civil war between the North and the South, and now we can no longer tolerate the Huaxing Army to run rampant like this.They have only ten ironclad battleships in Japan, and we will have more than enough to deal with them. ”Williams, the former commander of the United States in China, finally spoke, his eyebrows tightened with anger, and said coldly from his mouth.The three countries immediately reached an agreement, and in the evening, a total of 24 warships of more than 5,000 tons set sail and galloped towards Ise Bay.After daybreak, the combined fleet of the three countries sailed into Ise Bay, under the personal command of Williams, the commander of the U.S.
Navy and Land.At this moment, a signal flare suddenly sounded in the sky, and ten ironclad battleships followed closely into Ise Bay."
The foreigners are coming, let's clean up this yesterday's garbage first," on the Jiangsu battleship, Commander Zheng Dahai said coldly.A young captain beside him immediately saluted, yelled at the herald, and waved the command flag in his hand.On the masts of the ten warships of the East China Sea Fleet, the herald waved the command flag at the same time.The whistle sounded loudly, startling American Colonel Jones, who had not slept all night."
Oh no, Colonel, the Chinese fleet is going to do something to us" Captain Anderson found out about the situation and hurriedly shouted at Jones.As soon as the words fell, dense black dots whistled in the sky, smashing on the battleship."
Get down, get down," Jones yelled at Anderson in horror as the shell exploded."
Boom, boom" one exploded right next to Anderson, and Jones fell to the ground, and when he looked up again, Anderson had already turned into black smoke and dispersed."
Bastard, bastard, shoot me, fire at the Chinese fleet" Jones roared angrily, but the sound was completely drowned out by the artillery fire, and the deck of the ship had long been pierced by bombs.The artillery on the deck was blown up and killed, and there were still people who fired back.The whistle echoed across the sea outside the battlefield, and Jones knew it was reinforcements coming.At this time, it suddenly dawned on him in his mind, and he finally knew why the Huaxing Army wanted to keep them, that is, to attract reinforcements.He had already seen the American flag rising on the sea, and his mind was full of doubts at the moment.The ten warships of the Huaxing Army really want to be the enemy of the twenty warships of the Combined Fleet "Whoosh" A piercing whistling whistle sounded in Jones's ears, and there was a loud "boom", and there was a sudden darkness in front of him, and he no longer had to think about any questions."
Hurry up and hit the ground running, you must save them, you must rescue them," Williams held his binoculars and kept watching the swarms of cannonballs, like black hailstones, smashing towards the three battleships flying the American flag in the middle.He almost roared, his nails sinking into the wooden ship's side.I secretly prayed to God in my heart to let the three battleships survive.But God had closed his eyes and could not hear any prayers.In the East, God is powerless.If there is really a divine blessing, Williams may beg Mazu to be more effective.In front of Williams, the three American battleships were constantly hit by dumpling-like bombs from the sky, and finally billowing black smoke, and finally swallowed up by the sea.The cruel reality made Williams tremble with anger, and his eyes saw that almost all the ironclad warships of the Huaxing Army were on fire."
Change the attack formation and annihilate all the Chinese warships," Williams roared at the herald, and the command flag of the commander on the mast waved instantly.Twenty-four battleships sounded their whistles at the same time, lined up in herringbone columns, and rushed towards the warships of the Huaxing Army."
All warships have orders, change the horizontal formation, and meet the battle" Zheng Dahai looked at the oncoming combined fleet, and gave an order calmly to the herald, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.The warships of the Huaxing Army instantly turned into a horizontal formation, facing the combined fleet twice their size.When the distance between the two sides was three thousand meters, the warships of the Huaxing Army took the lead in firing their guns."
Whoosh" one after another shells pierced the sky and smashed down on the Combined Fleet, and nearly half of the shells hit the target, making an earth-shattering explosion.The waves splashed and exploded like thunder.Williams looked at the Huaxing Army's battleship in disbelief, and he didn't have a temper at all when he was beaten.Their warships shoot at a maximum distance of two thousand meters, and at a distance of three thousand meters, even if they shoot back, it is a waste of ammunition."
Accelerate forward, you must break through the distance of a thousand meters" Williams roared at the herald again, his body began to tremble, and he kept praying that the combined fleet would rush within two thousand meters as soon as possible.The shells of the East China Sea Fleet were still firing in dense salvos, blocking out the sunlight like raindrops.The black dot grew larger until it landed on both sides of the deck and the side of the ship, making a loud roar that made the waves roll violently.When the combined fleet rushed five hundred meters, two wooden battleships caught fire and stopped sailing.The French naval and land commander Brod was also full of horror, and the two wooden battleships were their French warships.He continued to observe the enemy situation in the bow of the ship, and a trace of retreat rose in his heart."
Three hundred meters to go, three hundred meters to go," Williams kept mentally calculating the distance, and his heart was almost beating.Immediately all 20 battleships opened fire, and this Chinese fleet must be blown up."
Woo woo woo" a whistle suddenly sounded behind the back of the combined fleet."
What" The commanders of the British, American, and French forces on the combined fleet were startled by this whistle almost at the same time, and all ran towards the stern."
What's the matter, there's a whistle," Williams asked the sailor as he ran, and his heart chuckled, and he said in the dark.All this seems to be a conspiracy of the Huaxing Army, and they seem to be deliberately trying to lure the main force of the United Fleet over."
Commander, it's not good, an unknown warship has appeared three thousand meters in the rear" The sailor on the rear mast hurriedly reported, his face full of horror."
Hit the plan, quickly order the French battleships on the left flank to block the enemy ships backwards" Williams decisively gave the military order, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead."
Foreign devil, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you remember the smell of our South China Sea Fleet's shells" In the fleet behind the United Fleet, a middle-aged man was looking at the military situation in front with a calm face, and a sneer appeared on his face.At this time, several warships in the combined fleet had already raised black smoke, and the fleet of the Huaxing Army was outflanked by them, and the situation had already taken a 180-degree reversal.After the herald on the mast quickly waved the battle order, the French battleship also received the order.All the battleships on the left flank retreated, and all the French battleships retreated to block the attack."
Commander, the firing range has been reached, request to fire" On the command ship, Captain Edward found Williams on the port side and hurriedly shouted."
Agree to fire, give me a hard shot" Williams almost roared, nervously watching the military situation in the rear amid the constant explosion of artillery fire."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" The command ship finally turned its bow, and the guns on the side of the ship were aimed directly at the battleship of the Huaxing Army, letting out a violent roar.The black iron ball whizzed through the air and headed straight for the Huaxing warship.However, because the distance was still too far, the shells kept falling into the sea in front of the warships of the Huaxing Army.Occasionally, two or three shells hit the deck of the warship of the Zhongxing Army, but it was not effective at all to smash into a trench and deal with the ironclad after thirty centimeters."
Boom, boom" Williams suddenly heard two loud noises from the forward deck, apparently hit by a shell from the Huaxing Army.The mast in front was shattered by a shell, and a huge cracking sound sounded with a "creak".The sail collapsed and slammed straight into the broadside."
Commander, be careful" The sailor grabbed Williams and pulled him away, and the broken mast smashed down on his side, nearly smashing him to pulp."
Leave me alone, shoot me, give me a hard shot" Williams screamed hysterically, touched the blood on his face, and didn't know where the wound was, but he didn't know the pain.The Combined Fleet had already sunk five battleships by this time, and ten more were rising with black smoke on them.The Huaxing Army used flowering shells.The warhead is filled with Shimose gunpowder, and when it explodes, it ignites a huge flame.Williams's heart was already entangled to the extreme, and all the ambitions he had just had just now were gone.Now don't talk about the total annihilation of the Huaxing warship, even if you can leave alive, it is a problem.Not only him, but also the commander of the French battleship, Brod, who had just retreated from the left flank to block the attack, was even more panicked.Two of his battleships were already on fire and could not move, leaving only six against unidentified warships attacking from behind.As a result, the two sides were getting closer and closer, and he saw it clearly.The battleship was flying the flag of the Huaxing Army, it was sure to be the warship of the Huaxing Army, and he was sure of something that made him desperate.Ten more warships of the Huaxing Army came, and he just understood that the combined fleet was now surrounded by the warships of the Huaxing Army
