Heaven's Change of Fate

Chapter 59
"Damn Fang Boqian, the Zhiyuan Ship hasn't sunk yet, so he wanted to escape." Yang Xin said bitterly.

During the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War in the Yellow Sea during the Sino-Japanese War in the Qing Dynasty, heroes such as Deng Shichang, commander of the Zhiyuan ship, appeared, "On this day, the world shed tears, and there was public power to strengthen the navy." However, there also appeared cowards such as Fang Boqian and Wu Jingrong, who escaped from the battle.

The impact of the Jiyuan and Guangjia warships on the Beiyang Navy is fatal. First, it weakens the momentum, and secondly weakens the Beiyang Navy in terms of strength. This will make the soldiers of the Beiyang Navy feel sad and angry. Sometimes I feel a cold despair.

The behavior of Fang Boqian and Wu Jingrong is simply a betrayal to the Beiyang Navy and China.

"Order the submarine force to sink the Jiyuan ship and the Guangjia ship." Yang Xin hesitated for a moment, but still gave the order to Heinrich.

Prince Heinrich also hesitated, but still gave Yang Xin's order to the submarine force.Because according to the agreement, Yang Xin is the strategic commander, and Prince Heinrich is the tactical commander. At this time, the timing of Yang Xin's order is between strategy and tactics. Strictly speaking, Yang Xin's order is a bit beyond his authority, but In the end, Prince Heinrich carried out Yang Xin's order.

"When shall we do it?" Prince Heinrich asked.

"Keep an eye on the Zhiyuan ship!" Yang Xin said suddenly.

"What?" Prince Heinrich was taken aback.

"When the Zhiyuan ship sank, that's when we started." After Yang Xin finished speaking, he closed his eyes. Yang Xin understood that Prince Heinrich's question just now was asking for the command of the battle. Yang Xin The letter simply handed over the command of the fleet to Prince Heinrich.

Fang Boqian's Jiyuan warship and Wu Jingrong's Guangjia warship had just escaped from the battle zone, and when they were immersed in the joy of escaping, suddenly the two warships shook violently at the same time.

"I was shot." This was the first reaction of the officers and soldiers of the two ships, but no matter how they looked, they didn't know where the attack came from.

The attack came from under the sea, of course. After receiving Yang Xin's order, the submarine force formed a team immediately, using wolf pack tactics, and launched a torpedo attack on the Jiyuan ship and the Guangjia ship under the leadership of the wolf pack.

The Jiyuan Ship and the Guangjia Ship only paid attention to the enemies on the sea. They never thought that in this era there is still a means of attacking from the sea. They were hit instantly. After the panicked Jiyuan Ship and the Guangjia Ship hit two torpedoes one after another , sinking slowly.

Since the Jiyuan and Guangjia escaped from the battle zone and were far away from the sight of the commanders of the Beiyang Navy and the Japanese United Fleet, the sinking of the two ships sank silently in the waters of the Yellow Sea without causing any waves. down.

After Prince Heinrich took over the command, he ordered the entire fleet to approach the battle zone further, and at the same time ordered the submarines to blockade the entire sea area, completely surrounding the battle zone between the Beiyang Navy and the United Japanese Fleet.

There are many warships, many cannons, and thick barrels, just so capricious.

After Prince Heinrich issued a series of orders, everyone in the German United Fleet focused their eyes on the Zhiyuan Ship. The moment the Zhiyuan Ship sank was the moment when the German United Fleet launched an attack. moment.

At this time, the formation of the Beiyang Navy was in chaos, and the Zhiyuan ship was attacked by the enemy.

What made the Zhiyuan ship even worse was that the Chicheng and Hiei of the Wa Kingdom also joined the siege of the Zhiyuan ship. At this time, the Zhiyuan ship was already on fire. The well-known cry of later generations: "Bump Shen Yoshino!"

"Bump Shen Yoshino!"

This is the unyielding cry of the Beiyang Navy and the unyielding cry of the Chinese people.

The Zhiyuan ship rushed to Yoshino with all its strength, and rammed into the starboard side of the Yoshino at high speed. After being hit by a torpedo, the Zhiyuan ship was fatally wounded, its hull split, and it sank rapidly.

At the same time, Prince Heinrich, the commander of the Dehua United Fleet, who was staring at the side, spit out two words coldly: "Attack!"

After Zhiyuan ship leader Deng Shichang fell into the sea, his entourage Liu Zhong rescued him with a life buoy, but he refused.

"I am determined to kill the enemy and serve the country. If I die in the sea today, what is righteousness for me?" After Deng Shichang finished speaking, he closed his eyes and prepared to sink himself.

Deng Shichang's pet dog swam desperately to Deng Shichang's side, opened his mouth and bit Deng Shichang's arm, and came to rescue him. Head into the water, ready to live and die with the Zhiyuan ship.

"Sir!" Deng Shichang's entourage let out a shrill roar and swam towards Deng Shichang desperately.

Deng Shichang thought that his entourage would come to rescue him, so he yelled: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to persuade me."

As soon as Deng Shichang finished speaking, there were loud explosions from behind, which nearly deafened Deng Shichang's ears.Deng Shichang looked back subconsciously, and saw that the entire hull of the Zhiyuan ship's old enemy, the Yoshino, had been blown into two pieces.

"This is?..." Deng Shichang was shocked.

"My lord, look far away!" Deng Shichang's entourage Liu Zhong desperately swam to Deng Shichang's side, pulled Deng Shichang to the wreckage of the Zhiyuan ship, and handed Deng Shichang a telescope.

Deng Shichang raised his binoculars and found that behind the Japanese United Fleet, a fleet suddenly entered. Due to the distance, the flag of the battleship could not be seen clearly, but Deng Shichang knew that this was a friendly army, because the fleet that suddenly entered was facing the enemy. The combined Japanese fleet poured ammunition desperately, but turned a blind eye to the Beiyang Navy.

Deng Shichang easily judged the powerful firepower of this battleship from the continuous fire from the battleship.

The Takachiho was sunk, the Akitsusu was sunk, and the Naniwa was also sunk...

The newly arrogant Japanese joint fleet was like an immature child under the attack of this fleet. It had no power to fight back. Even if it desperately escaped from the firepower range of this battleship and escaped from the war zone, it would be inexplicably destroyed. sunk.

Deng Shichang couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Not only Deng Shichang, but also the Beiyang Navy, ranging from Ding Ruchang to ordinary sailors, couldn't help but let out a long breath of relief.

In this short period of time, the Matsushima was also sunk, and it seemed that this fleet was going to sink the entire Japanese combined fleet.

The remaining Chiyoda, Itsukushima, Akidashi, Hiei, Fuso, and Saikyo Maru saw that the situation was not going well. They couldn't fight and escape, so they had to raise the white flag and surrender. At the same time, the guns were lowered. , dropped the anchor, turned off the steam engine, and stopped there to wait for fate's ruling.

"Wow, the Dreadnought-class battleship is really powerful!" Prince Heinrich exclaimed.
