Chapter 649: The Dust Sweeping Plan to Sweep the Japanese Island (59)
Hey... Why haven't I seen even a battleship of the Red Navy of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom until now?
By the way, Lieutenant Colonel Danny not only could he see any Red Navy warship here, but even those who were respectfully welcomed by him on the Flame were not the sailors of the Red Navy, but just dozens of armed sailors of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom merchant ships.
Lieutenant Colonel Danny was so panicked that he forgot that he should always run along the coastline of the main island of Japan to avoid more trouble. Instead, he went off the course of his escape and turned to the side close to the Essay Island. It happened to be outside Songqian Port and met with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a large transport fleet that had just gathered here from Mu Ao Bay not long ago, which was hijacked by fish in the abyss.
Lieutenant Colonel Danny, who had been scared by the Red Navy of the Taiping Kingdom, suddenly saw the red flag of Taiping Kingdom flying on the ships in the distance in the twilight, without further discussion, he immediately decided that he had bumped into the large battle group of the Red Navy of the Taiping Kingdom.
But now Lieutenant Colonel Danny finally understood that he, a dignified Spanish Empire Navy lieutenant colonel, and his steam briggish cruiser, finally chose to surrender to the people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!
Faced with the situation in front of him, it would be natural if Lieutenant Colonel Danny couldn't figure it out, but he shouldn't have any regrets.
A soldier armed to the teeth actually surrendered to a group of ordinary people in a daze. This may be a bit of a shameful thing. However, if he had lost some so-called face compared to his extremely cherished life and losing some so-called face, it would be nothing at all.
Compared with this Lieutenant Colonel Danny who was in a complicated mood, the captain of the "Alfonso" could obviously be much simpler.
He rushed out of Lu'ao Bay and away from the rumbling sound of cannons and the terrifying battlefield. Looking around, there was only the vast sea water. Finally, he would never see any enemy again. Apart from the word "escape", there was no need to think about anything else.
Under his constant stern shouting and almost constant urging, the "Alfonso" ran at lightning speed and smoothly. Finally, he ran so far that even when he met their two supply ships that were ordered to rush towards Lu Aowan from the temporary avoidance, he passed by them without thinking.
As a result, the "Alfonso" fled completely, but the two ships were still foolishly anxious to replenish their fleet, but they plunged into the tiger's mouth.
I once wanted to catch up, but before the real pursuit was launched, I could only stare at Li Xuanyi, who was leaving the two Western Army ships, one east and one west. Just because I could not help the Red Navy in Luao Bay, who was still fighting fiercely with the Western Army, and I couldn't think of anything else to do, so I had to follow the pre-war deployment of Colonel Wu Pei, the commander-in-chief of this war, and continue to "stay around" at the entrance of Luao Bay and be depressed, just as the two unlucky men, the supply ship formation of the Western Army, came in a hurry.
Before the two large supply ships of the Western Army woke up, they were surrounded by the extremely hungry Li Xuanyi fleet.
After being beaten by Li Xuanyi's fleet, the two Western military supply ships, which had no ability to defend themselves, were seriously injured. The officers and soldiers on the ship had to cry loudly while shaking the white cloth sheets they grabbed in the cabin, torn off their white shirts, and pulled off their white pants. Some even held high a wooden board with white paint and asked for a surrender to the warship...
At 15:24, as the ironclad ships "Manucia" and "Belgra" were completely engulfed by sea water, the war in the Bay of Muao was finally declared completely over after more than an hour.
On the sea surface of the already calming Lu'ao Bay, there are all kinds of debris left by the two ships "Manucia" and "Belgra", as well as Western military officers and soldiers struggling in the sea.
After all, things like cleaning the battlefield and rescuing the Western Army officers and soldiers were uniformly handed over to Li Xuanyi, who was excited to capture the two Western Army supply ships, Wu Pei and Dong Zijing did not make any more stops on the battlefield, so they took their respective fleets to Hunguan Port.
After the battle of Luaowan, although Wu Pei and Dong Zijing's fleets seemed to be able to enter the Hunguan Port, in their respective fleets, several ships actually suffered damage of different severity due to being shot or being impacted. Especially the "Liaoyang" of Wu Pei's fleet and the "Aledan" of Dong Zijing's fleet. Due to the repeated shots, the injuries on both personnel and hulls on both ships were more serious, and it is difficult to perform new combat missions for the time being.
Therefore, what Wu Pei and Dong Zijing are most anxious now is to quickly bring ships with different minor and serious injuries such as "Liaoyang" and "Aldan" into the port of the Hanguan. After comprehensively arranging the emergency repairs of each ship and the matters of the Heavenly Transportation Fleet, they must continue to implement another order issued by the Red Navy Headquarters.
However, just as Wu Pei and Dong Zijing, who were already slightly relaxed, led their fleet and were still rushing to the port of Hanguan, Li Xuanyi's urgent telegram, who had only been breaking up for more than an hour, actually arrived again.
It turned out that Li Xuanyi suddenly remembered that when he parted with Colonel Wu Pei, the commander-in-chief, he simply told the commander-in-chief that the Western thief's "Flame" and "Alfonso" had already escaped, but did not specifically report the "Flame" to the direction of the Whale Sea to the commander-in-chief.
Damn it!
Seeing Li Xuanyi's late report, Wu Pei, who stomped his feet suddenly, couldn't help but feel scared and sweated all over his body while stomping out a fierce curse.
"Send a signal, the 'Tu Xietu' will quickly rush to Songqian with the flagship, and the other ships will follow Commander Dong to continue to sail towards the box hall!"
Wu Pei, who was sweating on his forehead, staring at the vast sea surface that had gradually appeared in the darkness in front of the command tower of the "Ninggu Tower" like a sharp arrow.
At this time, Wu Pei was extremely anxious deep in his heart. Because in his opinion, if the "Flame" caused losses to the Heavenly Fleet that temporarily avoided Songqian Port, even if he could sink a few more Western thieves' warships, what's the use? How can he compensate? To be continued...
