Chapter 483 Ah, the Navy (9)
Chapter 483, Navy (Nine)
Maehara Issei felt very uncomfortable.
After rushing out of the Japanese fleet in half, he followed the command of the four ships, including "Ningguta" and "Tuxitu", and quickly completed a beautiful U-shaped turn. With the advantage of speed and firepower, he first bit the "tail" of Maehara Issei and Sakamoto Ryuma, and then repeated the scene at the beginning of the naval battle, and crashed into Wu Pei, who was the midfielder of the broken iron-clad ship led by Maehara Issei and Sakamoto Ryuma, was very comfortable at this time.
With the strong cooperation of Fan Zeng and Jiang Songtao who successfully completed the return at a critical moment, after he and his fleet completed the first large tearing of the Japanese iron-clad fleet, they not only successfully cut the ships in the back half of the Japanese fleet away from their own team, but also achieved great results in the collision and sinking of the Japanese fleet's "Akitsushi", "Chyoda" and "Nikyomaru" ships.
Now, the group fight against the Japanese ships "Fusangmaru" and "Sanjingmaru" have ended, carrying the huge momentum of sinking "Sanjingmaru", throwing the "Fusangmaru" that was covered with bruises and dying "Fusangmaru" to Fan Zeng and Jiang Songtao. The "Gaochisui" went to the final treatment of the "Liaoyang" and "Korqin", and began to carry out the final clearance of the ships such as the "Akashimaru" who had been cut outside with the assistance of the surprise troops in advance in the Han Zhengxi fleet, the torpedo speedboat.
His four ships, including the "Ningguta" and "Tushitu", not only smashed the Japanese ship "Yoshino" into several sections, but also turned the "Izumo" and "Izumi" who were at the back of the remaining fleet of Ryuma Sakamoto, "Hijinmaru" and "Tong" with rolling smoke and rushing flames on the ship, successfully bitten down the bodies of the former Issei and Ryuma Sakamoto, and the four ships, including the "Fusun" and "Hunun", which were doing a large circumference, together, turned these four Japanese ships, which seemed like giants, into four little cubs in the cage.
No matter how painful it would be in Maehara Issei and Sakamoto Ryuma at this time, Wu Pei took his four battleships, but then he beat the previous one of his "Ningguta" and "Tuxitu". Although he was already scarred, he could only blame himself for being too unlucky and shouldn't always put his head in front of the "Rijinmaru" and launched another fierce collective beating.
"Rijinmaru" first all the superstructures were smashed to pieces, and then, a row of shells roaring from the Tuxitu ship broke out in the middle of the right side of the hull.
The cold sea water immediately rushed in with these big turbulent surgings. The "Rijinmaru" had a displacement of more than 2,000 tons, but the huge hull, which had been covered by thick smoke and fire, began to tilt rapidly.
Soon, as a surging giant soared into the sky, the poor "Hijinmaru" completely disappeared from the sea...
Apart from the "Argent Iron" sitting down, only "Zhenyuan", "Shinoon" and "Akashiyama" were left by my side. After I got the "leisure" at first, Issei Sakamoto Ryuma was the first to make up his mind:
No matter what, we should still go back and rescue our own "Izumo Maru" and "Watizumi Maru".
Of course, Ryuma Sakamoto was like his commander Issei Maehara, and had already seen that he was no match for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. However, Ryuma Sakamoto now knew very well that if his ironclad ships, "Izumo" and "Kazumi", sink to the bottom of the sea, then his ironclad fleet could basically be declared destroyed.
Therefore, he must first rescue the two ships "Izumo" and "Watizumi", and then dive into the battlefield east at full speed.
The reason why Ryuma Sakamoto dared to risk his life to drill into a more complex battlefield under the current situation was of course not to turn the situation around. He just wanted to use Shintaro Nakaoka, Hirofumi Ito, Yuyuki Ito and others to act as a barrier to help his opponents, take the few ironclad ships left from the battlefield as much as possible, and then do his best to make them return to the island safely.
Because at this time Ryuma Sakamoto had already seen the final outcome of the "Sea of Japan" sea battle.
So, Ryuma Sakamoto confronted the commander who had just woken up with a decisive attitude for the first time. He ignored Maehara Issei's way of taking this great opportunity to completely get rid of the entanglement of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom people, and at the same time fully utilized his relative huge advantages in the ironclad ship. First, support Shintaro Nakaoka's Fifth Fleet, severely damaged the Korean fleet in front of him, and then took advantage of the victory to meet with Hirofun Ito, and decided to decide whether to fight again according to the specific situation at that time. Instead, he resolutely took his four ironclad ships, turned his head south and killed them again.
At this time, the two ships "Izumo" and "Watizumi" who had witnessed the miserable sinking of "Hijinmaru" in front of him, and were influenced by the extremely painful feelings of the "Tong" who was beaten behind him, saw the "Ningguta" and "Tuzetu" and other four ships of the Red Navy that had already been freed up, began to stick to themselves. While throwing the shells on their ships out with their lives, they drove at full speed and pulled the sails, trying to knock out the cracks between the two Red Navy fleets in the north and south so that they would join forces with the "main force of the fleet" to keep warm.
At this time, since the "East" had been beaten to a half-dead, there was no need to spend too much effort on it. In order not to ask the two Japanese ships "Izumo" and "Hawazumo" to escape from the large net opened by the side, the "Fushun" and "Huanun" of the Red Navy, the South Road Red Navy began to intercept the "Izumo" and "Hawazumo".
In this way, when Ryuma Sakamoto led his four iron armored ships back, the Red Navy's "Fushun" and "Huanun" ships blocked the way of the two ships "Izumo" and "Watizumi" head-on, he was also sandwiched between the Japanese ships from both sides of the east and west.
