Chapter 83 Scare Ito Yuheng

Almost at the same time as him, Yuuki Ito also scolded angrily: "Baga! Which bastard fired without permission?!"

This is almost a conditioned reflex. As we all know, the Qingshui Master strictly follows the order of "not firing the first shot". Even if they meet face to face in broad daylight, they will not be able to take the lead. It is only possible that someone else can't help but have their own ships.

That hot Yuki Ito! He is simply a group of bastards. We are not those brainless army, how can we do such a thing?!

But when he continued to order, the five warships all denied that they did not order, and all the artillery was quiet. Besides, their shells were difficult to hit so far!

"Not us, who could that be?"

Yuki Ito pulled the corner of his mouth down and shouted in a stern manner: "Order all ships to enter the alert state immediately. All the lookout hands cheer me up and search the surrounding sea with all their strength. Do not let go of any clues!"

The captain of the "Matsushima" Omoto was startled and said in surprise: "Your Excellency, are you worried about a hidden enemy?"

Yuki Ito nodded solemnly: "It's very likely! We should not only consider the reaction of the Qing navy, but also not forget that there are ships from Britain, France, the United States and Russia around us! They will closely monitor the progress of the war. When necessary, they may not show their existence slightly, which will hurt both sides!"

"But aren't the British already leaning towards us?"

"That's just British!" Yuuki Ito gritted his teeth, "French, Russian, German, American, are not so friendly! They don't want to see a British team that will become stronger and make a little trouble, making us more difficult, which is easy to do."

"Damn it! If that happens, it will be very troublesome once we have to face the frontal attack of the Qing iron armored ship!"

Omoto knew that he was so angry that he beat the iron railings. Like Yuki Ito and even most naval generals, he had indescribable fear of the two ships of Dingyuan and Zhenyuan in the Qing Dynasty! The huge hull, which was as solid as a mountain of unsinkable, was pressed tightly in their hearts. Even with the Sanjing ship specifically targeted, no one could be sure. The 7,000-8,000-ton iron armored ship could sweep everything as long as it rushes in the Japanese fleet. It is still a matter of whether it can succeed in the sneak attack!

If everything was done in secret before, they would not have been so frightened. But even the photos of the imperial meeting in Guowenbao even appeared in the "Guowenbao" meant that there was an omnipresent force staring at them and making Japan's plans public to the world! The old man of the Qing Dynasty was slow and unable to make a correct response, but it did not mean that the great powers would be so stupid!

The situation is really too complicated!

Yuki Ito thought for a little while, his sharp eyes flashed, and he ordered: "Continue to force forward, pay attention to the movements around you at any time, and be sure to find the hidden ones!"

Opposite, a shrill police roar sounded from the "Super Yong". Huang Jianxun calmly commanded into the light control. Two 250mm cannons were shaken from the gallery and pointed to the outside. The remaining 40-pound Armstrong cannons were raised one after another. One hundred and forty officers and soldiers were careful and committed to the battle state!

Huang Jianxun was nervous. Before leaving, repeated reminders from Li Hongzhang and Ding Ruchang made him know that the sea surface was already quite unsafe, and no one knew whether Japan was really going to provoke a war.

Now, the "Tunan" not far away is loaded with 910 reed infantry soldiers under Nie Shicheng and his subordinates. If you are not careful, the ship may be destroyed and the people may be killed. Such losses are definitely unbearable, and he must ensure that no mistakes can be made!

In the boiler cabin of the "Shaoyong" was filled with shirtless sailors sweating profusely, desperately filling the odorous coal into the boiler, allowing the two 1,300-horsepower reciprocating steam engines to exert their maximum power.

The wooden shell wrapped iron hull that had been gliding leisurely, fell down due to the violent speed change vibration. For the iron-clad warship, the fourteen-year-old ship is already old enough. I don’t know if I can withstand the shock of the two 25-ton 26-caliber cannons!

The two groups of ships, like two arrows, were maneuvering slowly, and were still moving firmly towards the interlaced course!

The x201 ship and two steam gunboats approached quietly like ghosts. With the corresponding slow speed of Yuzhe, they were as quick as sharks, constantly making large and maneuvering circling from left to right.

Yang Haiwei did not want the worst situation to happen. He could only use a small boat carrying a 76mm modern naval gun. Although the power and accuracy of the shells are enough to sweep modern ships, the number of ammunitions that can be equipped is limited and the lethality is limited, which is far from enough to influence the war situation of the two countries.

Even if the shot just now reminds both sides, don’t be attacked by the two ships of "Super Yong" and don’t think of taking action.

But now it seems that the effect is not very good. The Japanese have developed a fierce and stubborn style from the bottom of their hearts, and no one can change him! Is this because he found that the conspiracy was exposed and he wanted to go all out and go to the end?

Yang Haiwei frowned slightly, pondered a little, and decisively ordered: "Original coordinates, another shot!"

"yes!"

The two students who had just tried it and were still sighing, excitedly agreed, and quickly loaded a shell in it. According to the step-by-step teaching over the past month, repeated the training procedures hundreds of times, aiming and launching in an orderly manner!

"boom!"

A stream of white smoke was emitted from the muzzle of the ak176 with a modern stealth design. The fire flashed slightly, and the shell suddenly rose far away. In more than ten seconds, it fell to more than four kilometers away from the "Super Yong". Another bright flash was made for the two groups to see clearly!

Huang Jianxun was sure that this was a reminder for himself! If it was an attack, such accurate shooting technique, such a hidden attack, and such explosive power, the "super courage" of Mukezi could not bear it at all, and would be seriously injured immediately! Friends lurked by the side!

The heart he was holding was immediately relieved. No matter who it was, as long as he had a helper, his pressure would be much less!

Yuki Ito was a different feeling. He confirmed that the mysterious lurkers were warning, and they were always watching their every move! But they didn't want to have a direct conflict with the Japanese Navy, so they hit the shells on the side close to the Qing ships. Well, they were very careful and very sober.

If the shells landed on one's side, it can be determined that the Qing Navy launched the first attack. Then there would be no problem if the counterattack was over. It can be seen that the other party knew this truth very well.

He hurriedly asked about the observation and search of each ship, but no one found where the shells came from!

"Impossible! Looking at the explosion effect, it is at least a 150mm cannon. The flames ejected from the muzzle when it is fired are as bright as a lighthouse. How can you not see it? According to the landing point of the shell, the maximum is only 11 kilometers, and you can definitely see it!"

In this era, the most common medium caliber naval guns were Krupp's 35-diameter 5.9-inch cannon or Armstrong's 152mm40-diameter speed-firing cannon. The former has a maximum range of only 11,000 meters, while the latter can reach 7 rounds per minute, but the range is only 8,600 meters. With the night eyes of Japanese sailors, it is too easy to find out!

Could it be that the advanced naval guns of the great power countries were fired from a further distance? Yuuki Ito thought it was ridiculous. In this era, the 320mm Ghana gun of the Sanjing ship was already large enough, and the maximum range of the 260mm Krupp gun of the Langsu ship was 12,200 meters, which is already quite amazing. No matter which one, it cannot escape the sharp gaze!

He would never have thought that the maximum range of ak176 is as high as 17,000 meters, smokeless launching medicine, stealth design, if you don’t want him to see it, then he really can’t see it!

Yuki Ito was a little crazy! Such a situation was not expected at all! The other party had warned him twice, so what was the case. If he continued to approach, what would happen? The Qing warship opposite was not a fool. He would definitely run away. It was impossible to keep it confidential. What was the hidden enemy's mind? Will the next shell fall on his head?

The hidden unknown enemy, the difficult-to-discover shelling, was like a noose, tightly wrapped around his heart!

Yuhem Ito was in amazement and had no choice but to make a decision. It was right that he wanted to fight, but first of all, he had to ensure the victory of the entire war. The most urgent task was to escort more than 2,000 soldiers carried on the ship to Incheon, North Korea, land in and occupy strategic locations, and master the defense of Seoul. If the battle was launched, it would cause huge damage, even if he could make some profit at that time, it would be a big deal!

He thought again that the conduct of the guys in the Army would definitely make a big noise, and that by then, he would not be able to step down!

Yuyuki Ito was unwilling to stare at the direction where the "Super Yong" was hidden, gritted his teeth, and punched the mast hard. Under the gaze of the colonel of Omoto, he let out a heavy breath: "Order the fleet to turn right, leave contact, be vigilant, and head to Incheon!"

"But, sir! We have locked our target!"

Colonel Omoto screamed unexpectedly. He thought that he was going to besiege to capture an enemy ship. Why did the Lieutenant General shrink his egg at the critical moment? This change is too fast!

Yuki Ito waved his hand firmly: "Execute the order!"

"Hay!" Omoto groaned heavily, turned his head and passed the order step by step. Not long after, five Japanese ships turned one after another, cutting across the enemy ship's channel, and heading towards Incheon Port in the north.

Five black figures passed by not far ahead. Huang Jianxun trembled slightly and a layer of cold sweat appeared! It was so lingering. If they had launched an attack just now, they could not hold on for a moment or three moments, and the "Tunan" would inevitably suffer!

Thank you really, my friend who hid in the dark for saving my life and thousands of brothers!
