Chapter 35: The Jiawu Memorial (Part 2)

At this time, the sky gradually brightened, and it was already 4:30 in the morning. The long-awaited student fleet finally launched the steam engine and drove out of the dock to join the war.

At this time, an officer in military uniform and several student soldiers in black student uniforms stood on the Tsukuba podium.

"Senior Yamamoto! Do we have to participate in the war? There are so many enemy ships and we have no combat experience! Do you want us to die?" A student asked Yamamoto, the officer in military uniform.

"Baga! Haruno, see what you learned in school? Are you all pretending to be feces in your head?" Yamamoto cursed, Yamamoto was the instructor of the practice ship here.

"Hi! Sorry! Senior Yamamoto!" Haruno realized that he had said something wrong and apologized immediately.

Yamamoto looked at Haruno with his head down and several students next to him. He knew in his heart that he would die if he went up, but the soldier's creed made him unable to tolerate cowardly soldiers, but they are still children and will become pillars of the country in the future. Do you really want them to be buried here? Thinking of this, he sighed and said, "Hi! Haruno, if it is impossible to do something later, remember to protect your classmates from leaving safely!"

"Senior!" Haruno suddenly surprised Yamamoto's words, and wanted to say them again, but the senior waved him to stop him.

"The whole ship is ready for battle!" Yamamoto shouted loudly.

"Hi!" All students, including Haruno, answered loudly.

This fleet consists of the practice ships Tsukuba, the gunboat, and the practice ship Asama, and more than 10 small boats that temporarily equipped with an army camp cannon. Li Hongzhang called this type of ship a mosquito ship, which is indeed quite vivid.

I saw this "sized" fleet with the three ships Tsukuba, Ganzhu and Asama as the heads, and 6 mosquito gunships on both sides as the wings, forming a geese-shaped formation toward the first squadron facing each other.

At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Pabru Neruda, Zhang Yunfei and others saw it. Lieutenant Colonel Pabru smiled at Zhang Yunfei and said, "Boss, it seems we are going to perform a naval battle!"

"Then I will be the audience and judge!" Zhang Yunfei also quipped.

"It's very honorable!" Lieutenant Colonel Pabru Neruda said in an inappropriate knightly manner, almost making Zhang Yunfei laugh.

"Okay, boys! Stop hitting those turtles, we should do some work that only the navy can do!" Lieutenant Colonel Pabruneruda waited for the ships to stop the shelling and said, "Did you see the three old turtles coming onwards and a group of little turtles next to you? Tell me loudly!"

"See!" the soldiers replied.

"Now I order you to send this lost turtle home! Is there any problem?" Lieutenant Colonel Pabru Neruda told a joke that made Zhang Yunfei roll his eyes.

"No problem!" the soldiers replied.

"Okay! The entire fleet has a rudder of 15 degrees left, forming a straight formation. Each gunner is responsible for a little sea turtle! At most, only one shell is allowed! If any gunner gives more, he will ask the boss to reimburse him! Do you understand?" Lieutenant Colonel Pablo raised a finger and said loudly.

"I understand!" The flagship messengers conveyed the words of Lieutenant Colonel Pablo to the ships just now, which made the officers and soldiers of each ship laugh.

Zhang Yunfei listened to Pablo's joke and thought: "Is it a copy of the eagle catching a chicken? This is the calmness of the strong and the sadness of the weak! What would happen if Zhang Yunfei said the same joke to his fleet one day, but the invincible British Navy opposite him? This is what he has been looking forward to, his dream of this era!'

After Lieutenant Colonel Pablo assigned the mission, the fleet accelerated towards the right wing array of the Japanese fleet in a straight line. When it rushed to the front of the Japanese fleet, the Japanese ship opened fire. The shells fell 100 meters away to the right of the Brad. Then the Brad rushed to 2,000 meters in front of the first mosquito ship on the right wing of the Japanese ship array. At this time, the 9.4-inch main gun on the front deck of Brad opened fire. The 30-kilogram shells roared towards the mosquito ship, and hit the target. The ship was instantly split into pieces and was smashed into pieces. Then the port and the rear armor were

The main guns also opened fire and hit two mosquito ships respectively. The same fate was the same. It may be because the shells on the ship exploded. The two ships exploded even more violently. From a distance, there was a big fire. Then there was the Shirago Nkarada. Under the command of the captain of Captain Augusto Pinochet, the Shirago Nkarada, who had extremely strong firepower, sank the remaining four mosquito ships on the right wing of the Japanese fleet in a row, regardless of his shame, causing the captains of the four ships in the back to have a look of beating people.

Seeing this, the commander Lieutenant Colonel Pablo just smiled, and Lieutenant Colonel Augusto Pinochet, who had snatched other people's business, did have a natural expression on his face, as if he was deliberately showing off his warship's strong appearance.

At this time, the first team turned around under the command of commander Lieutenant Colonel Pablo, and then changed the front team to continue to attack the Japanese fleet that was about to turn around. Because the Japanese ship's mosquito ship was extremely slow, the first team took the lead and once again divided the Japanese fleet's mosquito artillery team in an inverted y shape, gaining the upper hand.

In this way, the protective cruiser Eratros President was lined up in front. The excited captain Lieutenant Colonel Pizarro immediately commanded the warship to attack the six mosquito artillery ships on the left wing of the Japanese ship. At this time, the mosquito artillery team was no longer in a straight line and was distributed in a very scattered manner. After the defeat of the two, the third ship was directly knocked into two halves. The remaining three little turtles were sunk by the protective cruiser President Pingdu and Esmeralda, one and two respectively.

In this way, all the little turtles were destroyed, leaving only three old turtles. However, the Japanese ship did not escape and still faced the enemy in a triangular formation.

"Do you think these three old ships can run through torpedoes?" Zhang Yunfei, who was watching the battle, suddenly asked.

"Of course you can't run away! Ah! I understand, boss, you are so smart!" Commander Lieutenant Colonel Pablo said excitedly.

Therefore, the commander Lieutenant Colonel Pablo immediately ordered each ship to launch torpedo attacks. At this time, the six ships formed a semi-encirclement situation against the Japanese fleet. After receiving the order, each ship fired six torpedoes on the side of the enemy ship, with four torpedoes aiming directly at three ships, and the other two torpedoes aimed at the left and right outer periphery of the enemy ships to prevent the enemy ships from escaping.

Facing the speeding torpedo, Yamamoto ordered the three-ship rapid-fire gun to intercept, but only the Asashima ship had an old undismantled rapid-fire gun, because the main weapon on the practice ship was basically to be dismantled.

Yamamoto closed his eyes helplessly and said to Haruno: "Teach your classmates jumped into the ship and ran away immediately! It would be too late! I didn't expect that the other party would be so cruel that he would not fight with us, and directly use his advantage to sink us with torpedo!"

"Senior!" Haruno was about to say something but was interrupted by Yamamoto: "Don't say it, it's too late, leave quickly!" As he said that, Haruno pushed out of the bridge.

At this time, a student sailor on the Qianji ship was shooting the rushing torpedo with rapid-fire cannons, but due to tension and fear, the shells hit the sky.

Boom! A torpedo hit the middle of the port side of Asama. The huge explosion caused the port side of the machine cannon and the soldiers to fly to the sky. The hull was tilted quickly. Since there was no isolation cabin, it sank rapidly. When the second torpedo came, it directly hit the overturned warship bridge. Another explosion caused the Asama to sink in less than half a minute.

The other two ships did not avoid their fate, and the gunboats tried to avoid it. Unfortunately, due to their slow speed, they were hit by a torpedo and the stern propeller was quickly infiltrated, causing the powerless Kanzhu to stop. As a result, they were hit by an outer escape torpedo and hit the middle of the starboard starboard. The huge hole caused the already small tonnage Kanzhu gunboat to sink quickly. The Tsukuba, which only had 9 knots, was even more so. At the same time, it was hit by two torpedoes. The violent fire triggered an explosion in the ammunition depot, which was divided into two halves and sank. It was the moment before the explosion that Yamamoto threw Haruno down the sea. Only two words were left: Revenge!

After Haruno fell into the water, his face was full of pain and a violent explosion shocked him who had just fallen into the sea. However, at the moment before he fell into the coma, he remembered the senior Yamamoto in the flames.
