Ito Heiyu ran away. Although it was not interesting to abandon the Minister, the problem was that his battleships were more important than the Minister. Besides, countless outstanding Imperial soldiers had been shattered in this battle, and he did not care about one more Minister.
So Songdao Five Ships didn't even have the nerve to reply to the flag signal and left directly. At this time, Huashan Ziji was dumbfounded.
"This, this, this bastard!" The stunned Minister muttered for a long time before holding back such a sentence. At this time, the two shameless destroyers appeared again. The surrounding torpedo boats immediately became vigilant, but they could not let these outsiders
Taking the credit, the leading torpedo boat immediately raised a flag and asked the Saikyo Maru to surrender. At the same time, each boat made a posture of repairing torpedoes. After a while of hesitation, the Saikyo Maru finally raised the white flag.
Soon the ships of the Beiyang Navy appeared in the distance. As for the poor Fuso, the result goes without saying. Seven battleships besieged it, and there was no other result except sinking. Ding Ruchang dragged the Guangjia which had been completely destroyed.
He Guangbing, escorting the Japanese Navy Chief of Staff, returned victoriously. What he didn't know was that the naval battle was not over.
Poor Commander Ito Kanzaki took his remaining five battleships and rushed towards Nagasaki. He lost, the Japanese Navy lost, and also lost the decisive battle to determine the dominance of the Yellow Sea, but the Japanese Empire has not lost yet. With this
Five battleships plus dozens of torpedo boats, as well as remaining gunboats and old wooden cruisers, he has enough ability to guard the Korean Strait. As long as this vital waterway can be sealed, the army can continuously transport goods to
North Korea, and then duke it out with the Chinese on land.
Speaking of torpedo boats, he is particularly depressed now. In fact, the strength of the Japanese Navy's torpedo boats far exceeds that of the Beiyang Navy. They have more than 20 torpedo boats in total, and even one large torpedo boat that should be considered a destroyer according to the current level. But there is a problem.
The mission of the combined fleet this time is to go outside Asan Bay, blockade the Qing army's supply lines, and then force the Beiyang Navy to come out for a decisive battle. This kind of work is impossible to carry a torpedo boat with a range of only a thousand nautical miles at most. They can
It's not the Beiyang Navy. It's only about a hundred nautical miles from Liugong Island, so you can do whatever you want.
Furthermore, because the whereabouts of Yang Feng and his fleet are unknown, when the main force of the combined fleet is fully mobilized, some troops must be left to look after the country. Otherwise, if this side goes to sea, it will be bad for the military port at the other end to be bombarded.
However, when he thought of Yang Feng, his mind suddenly moved, and then he broke out in cold sweat.
Where is Yang Feng now?
With his five battered battleships now, if he encounters his five amazingly fast warships at sea, he will probably die or lose his skin. You must know that there is a high-speed armored cruiser more powerful than Yoshino.
"Turn around, we are not going back to Nagasaki, and we are going north along the coast of Korea." When he thought of this, Ito Toyosuke immediately shouted. Although he did not understand why his commander issued such an inexplicable order, the Japanese ships still
Quickly turning to the northeast, what they didn't know was that Ito Heyou's order almost saved them.
Of course, it was just a little bit close. Outside Nagasaki Port, Boss Yang was sitting leisurely on the deck of the Nautilus, basking in the sun and reading a book with relish. As a great poet and writer, it is normal for him to read.
Even on a French merchant ship that was hurriedly escaping from the port, the captain was holding a telescope, holding Yang Feng's poetry collection with adoring eyes, and hesitating whether he should come over to him for an autograph or something.
Of course, if he knew what book this guy was reading right now, his world view might collapse. Yang Feng really didn’t expect that a well-educated scholar like Old Xuetou could actually find banned books in his collection. What he was reading right now was from this old man.
Shunlai's vinegar gourd.
The four high-speed destroyers behind him were chasing the Japanese torpedo boats all over the sea. The Kitty Hawk, a large torpedo boat that Ito was most proud of, still had its chimney exposed on the sea. It was a good opportunity to raid homes like this.
Boss Yang definitely couldn't miss it. After receiving information about the location of the main force of the combined fleet from a German merchant ship at sea that showed goodwill to him, which was sent to Shanghai Bofors Bank and then transferred to him, the guy immediately took the warship with him.
Killed in Nagasaki.
The Kitty Hawk torpedo boat that stayed here was killed with more than a dozen torpedo boats, and then was directly and inhumanely tortured. Now there are still six boats left that are using their own navigation technology to provide Yang Feng's destroyer sailors with a
It was a rare opportunity to hit a moving target, and as the flagship, the Marauder, under the command of Lang Weili, relied on the ultra-long range of the 130 cannon to roulin Nagasaki Port beyond the range of the Japanese coastal defense artillery.
Now this small port has been turned into a sea of fire by him using white phosphorus. All non-Japanese merchant ships are escaping in a hurry, while the Japanese are struggling in the sea of fire.
Of course, for Yang Feng, this is just a slap on the child on a rainy day, and nothing is idle. Boss Yang’s real goal is Ito Heiyu who is waiting here to return home. Anyway, no matter they fail or win, they have to come back first.
Only if you pass Yang Feng's level.
"The Beiyang Navy defeated the combined fleet, sank six Japanese ships, and captured the Japanese Navy Commander-in-Chief Kawasaki Shiki. Ito Toyosuke led the five ships of Matsushima, Hashidate, Yoshino, Naniwa, and Takachiho to escape." Sister Caiyi
He came over with the telegram and said, and then asked Boss Yang to pull him and sit on his lap, and then his face turned red with embarrassment from the thing below.
This is indeed good news. Boss Yang immediately ordered the Marauder to stop the bombardment of Nagasaki Port. Anyway, there is nothing worth wasting artillery shells in such a small and broken place. Then the fleet set sail north to meet Commander Ito. After giving him the order
He immediately hugged his sister Caiyi and ran into the cabin to have sex.
However, when this guy got up from Caiyi's sister and the Persian slave girl the next morning with two dark circles under his eyes, he was surprised to find that he had not met Commander Ito so far.
It’s time to encounter it.
"Order the destroyers to spread out and search!" Boss Yang ordered in a serious manner. Of course, he didn't have to wait for this order. Lang Weili had already dispersed the four destroyers, but even so, he still couldn't find Ito Heyou.
It was not until almost noon that he received a telegram from Shanghai that a Russian merchant ship encountered the United Fleet in the Tsushima Strait.
Yang Feng immediately understood that Commander Ito had guessed his dark psychology.
"Chase! Hell, he's still trying to escape from me at a speed of more than ten knots. I can catch him even if I ask him to run for a day." This guy said fiercely.
The five battleships of the Predator Fleet, or in current official terms, the Naval Battalion of the Taiwan Army General Command, accelerated to twenty knots, turned around and headed north towards the Tsushima Strait. Their current position was south of Jeju Island, not far away.
More than a hundred kilometers away, by evening, smoke trails of the combined fleet had been spotted ahead. The four destroyers immediately accelerated to thirty-six knots and pounced on it from behind.
Ito Hengyou couldn't figure out how this guy found him on the vast sea. He didn't know that any European and American merchant ship he encountered along the way might be a spy. All the companies under Boss Yang had already issued
Notified that all those who provide information to Yang Feng will be rewarded by the Yang Consortium. This reward may even be an opportunity for cooperation. Now the merchant ships of various countries have regarded the United Fleet as a fat sheep, including when they encountered the Beiyang Navy.
The result of tipping off by a shameless profiteer.
It's useless to think about this now, let's consider how to deal with the next battle. The five Songdao ships immediately formed a herringbone formation on the sea, relying on each other and all their artillery to stand ready. However, their opponents were not in a hurry to attack, but relied on
The highway kept harassing the surroundings, waiting for the Predator behind to catch up. As for Yang Feng's Nautilus, it had already jumped over at this time and was watching the United Fleet in the distance from more than ten kilometers away.
Only then did he realize that the Japanese seemed to be very well guarded. If they attacked forcefully, he would suffer losses. After all, these destroyers had little armor protection. In addition, due to their small tonnage, the picric acid shells would be very dangerous if they were hit by too many shells.
May be sunk.
Forget it, leave them a few warships, otherwise the Korean battlefield will not be able to continue. That would be too cheap for Li Erjie and the old witch Cixi. Besides, if the Japanese army is not transferred out, how will they rob Tokyo and Osaka in the future?
This guy thought insidiously for a moment, and then said to Caiyi's sister standing aside: "Go and notify the destroyers, use the flag language to tell the Japanese, and keep Yoshino!"
Among the combined fleet, only Yoshino can catch up with his landing ship. If he doesn't kill this guy, it will definitely pose a threat to future pirate plans.
"What do you mean?" Looking at the flag signal sent by the enemy, Commander Ito was at a loss. What is this going to do? Are you going to play a one-on-one duel? You can't be fooled like this. If Yoshino is left behind, he will definitely die. No matter how strong he is, he can't do this.
Five hungry wolves, and these guys are too fast. Even if they sink Yoshino and then chase him, they can still catch up. This must be a conspiracy.
At this time, the Marauder had also arrived. After understanding his boss's thoughts, Langweili immediately sent a signal to the Japanese army and left Yoshino behind. He promised as a British rear admiral that he would not continue the pursuit.
"Let us duke it out like a true samurai! I assure you with the honor of the Fleet Commander, Rear Admiral of the Royal Navy, that this is a battle between us, between the Marauder and the Yoshino."
When the signalman was half exhausted and passed on this smelly and long flag message, Togo Heihachiro on the Yoshino immediately replied in agreement without waiting for Ito Toyosuke's order, and at the same time raised the Z-shaped flag on the mast.
