"Boom!" A shell exploded more than 20 meters away on the right side of the Pegasus. A ten-meter-high water column rose from the sea, and the water spray fell on the deck of the Pegasus.
Drenching the decks of the Pegasus.
"Damn it! Those yellow-skinned monkeys actually opened fire on us! Fight back, fight back immediately!" Major George, the captain of the Pegasus, ordered loudly. The behavior of the target ship is the most direct act of war.
This made Major George very angry. The British Navy is the world's maritime hegemon, and the Chinese Navy is completely touching the tiger's butt by doing this.
"Major George, the Chinese must regard us as Japanese. We should explain to them to avoid triggering a war between the two countries!" Lieutenant Colonel David made a suggestion. Yesterday, I watched the naval battle between the Chinese Navy and the Japanese Navy.
Afterwards, he was deeply shocked. After the Chinese Navy annihilated the Japanese Navy, it did not suffer much losses. The British Navy's Far East Fleet was no match for the Chinese Navy. If a war really broke out, they would still suffer.
"No, Lieutenant Colonel, this is already an act of war. As an officer of the British Royal Navy and the captain of the Pegasus, I have the responsibility and obligation to safeguard the dignity of the Royal Navy! Fire immediately!" Major George said sternly.
said.
The soldiers on the "Pegasus" faithfully carried out Major George's order. The naval guns on the battleship immediately adjusted their direction, pointed at the Chinese Navy's "Wuwei" light cruiser, and opened fire immediately.
When Lieutenant Colonel David saw that the situation was unavoidable, he had no choice but to immediately send a telegram to Lieutenant General Philemantle, commander of the British Navy's Far East Fleet, asking him to prepare in advance so as not to be caught off guard.
The 'Pegasus' is a third-class protected cruiser of the British Royal Navy and the second ship of the 'Compass' class. It was only built in 1897. The 'Pegasus' has a displacement of 2135 tons and a horsepower of 7,000 horsepower.
The speed is only 20 knots, which is much slower than the 'Wuwei'. No.
However, the firepower of the 'Pegasus' is very powerful, with 8 4-inch guns and 3 3-pound guns. However, compared with the 'Wuwei', not only the displacement is half smaller, but the firepower is also inferior.
Wuwei' has two twin 155mm naval guns and six 105mm single guns.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Because the distance between the two sides was very close, the British Navy's bombardment level was very superb. In just a few minutes, the 'Wuwei' suffered a lot of shells. Fortunately, the "Wuwei"
Compared with the Ma Zuo, the Wuwei can be considered to be rough-skinned and thick-flesh, and its combat power was not affected at all without damaging any vital parts.
"Damn it, how can these Japanese shoot so accurately! Everyone, cheer up. It would be a big shame if we were defeated by such a little guy!" In the bridge of the 'Wuwei',
Lieutenant Colonel Gao Hui cursed bitterly.
"Boom!" The two twin-mounted 155mm naval guns on the 'Wuwei' fired a salvo again. The 105mm single-mounted guns and 88mm rapid-fire guns on the port side also opened fire.
A 155mm shell hit the front deck of the Pegasus, leaving a large hole in the front deck and killing more than a dozen sailors on the deck. The 105mm single-mounted gun and the 88mm rapid-fire gun
Although not as powerful as
It is a 155mm naval gun, but its rate of fire is fast and its power is not small. The shells continuously hit the Pegasus, sending sawdust flying everywhere. The entire superstructure of the Pegasus was riddled with damage.
Kong, the casualties were extremely heavy.
"Damn it! Major George, we have to get out of the battlefield, otherwise, we will be sunk!" Lieutenant Colonel David reminded. He didn't want to die in the Pacific, in his hometown of Manchester, and
His wife and children are waiting for him!
"Come here, send a telegram to the fleet and report our position. Let them send warships to rescue us as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will be sunk! Turn left 30 degrees and speed up!" Major George was not impulsive.
Knowing the strength gap between the 'Pegasus' and the Chinese Navy's 'Wuwei', I immediately wanted to leave the battlefield.
However, the 'Wuwei' would not give him a chance at all. As soon as the 'Pegasus' accelerated, the 'Wuwei' immediately began to accelerate, and quickly caught up with the 'Pegasus'.
It was just a blast.
Less than 20 kilometers away from the battle area between the 'Wuwei' and the 'Pegasus', a huge fleet was sailing westward at a speed of 10 knots. However, it was too far away due to the thick fog.
Just saw it. This fleet is the Far East Fleet of the British Navy, a huge fleet composed of 6 battleships, 5 armored cruisers, 10 cruisers and 15 destroyers.
Lieutenant-Admiral Philemantle, commander of the British Navy's Far East Fleet, was drinking coffee and looking at the heavy fog outside in a daze. He didn't know what to think about. Yesterday's naval battle between China and Japan touched him deeply. Although there was no
He saw it with his own eyes, but through Lieutenant Colonel David's telegram, he still had a profound understanding of the power of the Chinese Navy. Although the Far East Fleet he led was very powerful, if compared with the Chinese Navy fleet that destroyed the Japanese fleet,
If so, I'm afraid it's still a bit inferior.
Lieutenant General Philmantle was originally a white supremacist racist. Although East Asia was dominated by the yellow race, he always believed that the huge population and rich resources here should become a colony of the British.
If the whole of China could be occupied, this place would definitely become
A colony beyond India. However, unfortunately, China has risen and has also caused a huge conflict with British interests in the Far East. This made Lieutenant General Philmantle very angry. If it were not for the Admiralty
Stern order, he wanted to lead the British Far East Fleet to attack the Chinese Navy yesterday.
"Your Majesty, Lieutenant General, there is an urgent message from the Pegasus. They are being fiercely attacked by the Chinese navy and are about to be sunk!" A staff officer on duty ran into Feiliman, sweating profusely.
Lieutenant General Ter's cabin.
"Dang!" Upon hearing the news, Lieutenant General Philmantle suddenly dropped the coffee cup in his hand to the ground and smashed it into pieces. The splashed coffee made his white pants full of stains, but at this moment
Lieutenant General Philmantle can no longer care about so much.
"Damn it, are these yellow-skinned monkeys too arrogant? They dare to attack the British Royal Navy warships. They simply don't want to live! Order the fleet to turn around immediately. We are going to let these yellow-skinned monkeys know how powerful the British Royal Navy is.
!" Lieutenant General Philmantle immediately shouted. There is no doubt,'
The attack on the Pegasus gave him a legitimate opportunity to disobey the orders of the British Admiralty. He can't let the British Navy not fight back after being beaten, right? The British Navy is the most powerful navy in the world! How can he endure it?
How could something like this happen? Lieutenant General Philemantle almost cheered.
"But, Lieutenant General, this conflicts with the order of the Navy Department!" the staff officer said hesitantly.
"Listen, now we are being attacked by the Chinese again. We did not take the initiative to provoke them. The soldiers of the British Royal Navy need to maintain the dignity of the Royal Navy!" Lieutenant General Philmantle said seriously.
"Yes, Lieutenant General!" the staff officer could only reply.
Soon, the British Navy's Far East Fleet, like the 'Pegasus' and the 'Wuwei', fought in the sea area. But now, the sun is rising higher and higher, the fog has begun to gradually dissipate, and the visibility is getting better and better.
High.
Behind the 'Wuwei', Deng Shichang also received the telegram. However, after learning that it was a light cruiser of the Japanese fleet, he did not pay too much attention. With the combat power of the 'Wuwei', he could deal with a
There is no problem with light cruisers. However, he is still a little confused. There should be no warships in the Japanese fleet that slipped through the net yesterday! Why did they encounter another one here?
Half an hour later, the battle between the 'Wuwei' and the 'Pegasus' has come to an end. Under the ravages of the powerful 'Wuwei', the 'Pegasus' has suffered heavy damage.'
The mast of the Pegasus has been knocked off, and most of the guns on the battleship have been blown up. With just a few more heavy hits, the Pegasus can be sent to the bottom of the sea.
"Brothers, work harder and send this Japanese fish that slipped through the net to the bottom of the sea!" Gao Hui shouted excitedly in the bridge of the "Wuwei".
Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded. A water column tens of meters high rose up less than a hundred meters away from the "Wuwei". The large wave formed caused the "Wuwei" to shake.
"Damn it, large-caliber naval guns! How could the Japanese still have battleships?" Gao Hui was stunned.
But then, when several warships flying the flag of St. George emerged from the heavy fog, and the thick and ferocious muzzles of the guns were pointed diagonally at the Wuwei, Gao Hui felt a chill all over his body.
"Damn it, this is going to be a big deal! This is not the Japanese fleet, but the British fleet. Turn around quickly, accelerate to 30 knots and escape. Also, send a telegram to the commander!" Gao Hui immediately ordered. Regardless.
No matter how much trouble has been caused, we have to escape with our lives first. These British people are obviously not unreasonable. Just one large-caliber naval gun shell is enough to sink the "Wuwei".
The "Wuwei" was like a wild horse, drawing an arc on the sea, quickly turning to escape, and successfully dodged a large number of cannonballs.
After seeing the tragic scene of the Pegasus, Lieutenant-Admiral Philemantle, commander of the British Navy's Far East Fleet, gritted his teeth and ordered the fleet to pursue it.
On the battleship "Zhonghua", Deng Shichang was dumbfounded after receiving the telegram. However, a determined look flashed in his eyes. There will definitely be a war between China and Britain sooner or later, so he might as well make mistakes now and eat the British Far East.
Fleet, take the lead.
