Chapter 194: The Counterattack of the Enemy Flagship
The fragmentation of the Marquis of Doaro had a huge impact on the matadors. They had no idea that the East China Sea Fleet's offensive was so fierce, the blows were so cruel, and the level was so superb.
The matadors who woke up no longer wanted to fight. They all had the idea of avoiding the battle and were afraid of standing. Panic spread like a plague among the matadors and ghosts!
Zhou Yu, who was hiding in the A3 heavy cruiser, looked at the matador fleet that was already in chaos with a smile, and the corners of his mouth curved upward in a particularly exaggerated arc.
He remembered that in the later 20th century English-speaking world, the most famous political philosopher ~ John Rawls once said:
"Self-respect is a basic good. Without self-esteem, nothing is worth doing, or even if some things are worth doing, we lack the will to pursue them. Then all desires and activities will become
Without illusions, we will fall into apathy and cynicism.”
This is what Zhou Yu wants to say most at this time!
Under his leadership and the joint efforts of all the officers and men of the Chinese Loyal and Brave Army, the numbness, weakness, and confusion of the national mood that he once saw at the Shanghai dock can no longer be found in the Loyal and Brave Army.
Self-respect, self-reliance, and national self-esteem are strongly ignited in the loyal and brave Chinese army!
National self-esteem is originally a traditional psychology and traditional concept of the Chinese nation. Its existence is invisible and its effect is powerful.
It is said to be invisible because it is engraved in the depths of human souls and melted into human blood. On the surface, it is invisible and intangible. Some people even do not know it at all.
It exists, let alone its origin, but it does exist.
It is said to be powerful because it was not formed in one era, nor will it disappear in one era. It has historical penetrating power. Although it will continue to gain and lose due to historical changes, this gain and loss is gradual.
Yes, it is always correcting itself and at the same time, with its own unique inertia, it penetrates one era after another and subtly infects one generation after another.
During the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, the national self-esteem of the Chinese people was lacking. This was a man-made lack, a heartbreaking lack!
This is what Zhou Yu is most afraid of. Zhou Yu believes that people can be lacking in anything, but they must not be lacking in national self-esteem. Only by practicing self-respect and self-love can people gain respect and recognition from others!
Zhou Yu, who was hiding in a3 and was deep in thought, suddenly stood on his head, and a strong dangerous aura came unexpectedly.
At this time, the East China Sea Fleet has begun to disperse and strangle the Matador ships. Ever since the East China Sea Fleet used a salvo to cleanly dismember the Matador warship ~ the gunboat Marquis of Duaro, the Matadors of the Asian Squadron have
We have no desire to fight.
The Matador is extremely afraid of the combat power of the East China Sea Fleet! The John Bull Fleet, known as the world's largest naval power, did not cause any damage to the combined fleet of the Matador and the Gallic Rooster in the original 'Battle of Trafalgar'
Such a heavy blow.
Even if John Bull won at that time, it would be a miserable victory!
And today's East China Sea Fleet has given too strong an impression on Matador. The East China Sea Fleet is fighting there, and they are simply toying with their own fleet!
Facing the huge gap, feeling powerless to resist, the matadors of the Asian Squadron made a very wise choice to escape.
If the matador wants to escape, the East China Sea Fleet led by Deng Shichang will not agree!
Under the leadership of the A3 heavy cruiser, all the armored ships of the East China Sea Fleet followed closely and followed the escaping warships that attacked the Matador.
It was under such circumstances that when the warships of the East China Sea Fleet pursued the waters near the Guam General, which had lowered its flag and raised its white flag, Zhou Yu, who was standing beside the A3 warship, felt a strong sense of danger.
He didn't even have time to think about it, so he just walked out without even having time to open the door.
While Zhou Yu was speeding across the deck, he savagely pulled out a steel spear and jumped towards the dangerous object. The other person was still hanging in the air, and he threw the steel spear in his hand towards the dangerous object.
When Zhou Yu rushed to the deck, Deng Shichang, an excellent soldier, also smelled the unexpected danger.
Almost using all his strength, Deng Shichang howled: a3~right full rudder~rudder~~rudder!!!
Through the internal command system, Deng Shichang's shrill wolf howl was transmitted to the ears of the entire fleet. Out of instinct, the helmsman on the A3 heavy cruiser immediately used all his strength to turn rapidly to the right.
Make the helm full….
All the soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet instinctively looked towards the A3 ship, but what they saw was a scene that made their blood rush to their brains, but their whole bodies were cold!
The battleship USS General Guam, the flagship of Matador, which had already raised the white flag and withdrawn from the battle, openly violated the rules of war and secretly fired a torpedo at the flagship A3 heavy cruiser of the East China Sea Fleet.
At this time, the distance between the A3 heavy cruiser and the enemy flagship, the Guam General, was less than a kilometer. The starboard side of the A3 was completely exposed to the muzzle of the enemy ship, the Guam General. The situation was quite serious!
The soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet watched helplessly as the torpedoes dragged a long trail on the sea surface and rushed toward the starboard side of A3. Everyone's heart was tightly clenched.
!
What made everyone's hearts even higher was that their principal, Zhou Yu, unexpectedly jumped into the air in the direction of the torpedo! Jumping in the air? Is this still a human being? Is this something a human being can do?
The observers of the rapid-fire gun on the right side of the A3 heavy cruiser followed almost closely behind Deng Shichang's order, loudly providing data to the rapid-fire gunners and asking everyone to shell the torpedoes immediately.
After obtaining the relevant parameters, the rapid-fire gunners, who were well aware of the emergency situation, quickly adjusted the angle and fired the shells in the hope of destroying the torpedo.
After Deng Shichang's order was issued, the A3 heavy cruiser began to turn sharply to the right. Due to the sharp turn, many unprepared soldiers on the ship were thrown to the deck by inertia, and there was a slight commotion among the soldiers on the ship.
However, the normally well-trained soldiers quickly adjusted their order and returned to their posts.
Deng Shichang, who was in panic, clearly saw his principal throwing a huge iron pile in the direction of the torpedo. The iron pile flew towards the attacking torpedo at an incredible speed.
Due to the effect of inertia, Deng Shichang also found that his principal, Zhou Yu, was following closely behind the iron pile and flying towards the torpedo. Deng Shichang's eyes immediately turned red and his heart was tightly clenched.
At such a close distance, even if the iron pile explodes the torpedo, his own principal, Zhou Yu, is also heading towards the torpedo. At such a close distance, can he escape the shock wave of the explosion?
In the anxious eyes of all the soldiers of the South China Sea Fleet, the iron pile lived up to expectations and hit the incoming torpedo. With a huge sound of metal collision, the torpedo banged, far away from the stern of the A3 ship.
Less than 100 meters away, an iron pile exploded!
The huge explosion shock wave formed a huge water column on the sea surface. At the same time, it also set off a high and fast huge wave on the ground. The huge wave pushed rapidly in all directions.
Zhou Yu, who was very close to the explosion site, was severely hit by the shock wave and recoiled towards the A3 ship.
Zhou Yu, who was rushed towards A3 by the counter-impact force, was like a kite with its string cut off. With the person and the water, he fell heavily onto the stern of the A3 heavy cruiser that made a sharp turn.
The huge impact force pushed Zhou Yu's body quickly towards the bow of the ship. After continuously colliding with countless obstacles on the A3 warship, Zhou Yu's body rolled on the deck of the warship as if it was resting.
The corner of the corner is motionless!
All the soldiers of the Zhongyong Army looked at the situation where Zhou Yu was knocked upside down by the impact. They opened their mouths nervously and stood there blankly. Their hearts suddenly rose to their throats.
, if the principal~~~ they can’t even imagine what serious consequences it will be!
When they saw Zhou Yu being thrown to the stern of A3 by the huge reaction force, rolling, hitting, and finally motionless! The soldiers' hearts suddenly felt like being pricked by needles, and their whole bodies felt like
I fell into the ice cellar and was chilled from the top of my head to my toes!
