In addition, several battleships that have been sunk have also put the Far East Fleet and the Austro-Hungarian warships on the opposite side at odds. It will be absolutely impossible to sit down and negotiate calmly for a while.

At least, let’s have a fight!

In this way, Li Hongzhang and Fremantle reached an agreement to refuse negotiations and continue fighting. However, they seemed to have ignored one point: had the Austro-Hungarian warships been arranged by Liu Kun early in the morning? And was the other party really incapable?

What about killing yourself?

They discussed it for a while, but the Austro-Hungarian warships opposite didn't seem to be in a hurry. Instead, they sent people in small boats to repair the damaged gunboats of the Nanyang Navy on the spot.

For a time, the surface of the East China Sea calmed down.

After noon, the two sides still waved friendly flags and allowed each other to have lunch and take a nap. It was not until a quarter past two in the afternoon that Fremantle gave the first signal to launch an attack:

A heavy battleship collided head-on with the Austro-Hungarian warship, and three other fast cruisers moved from the flanks in three directions to directly attack the Austro-Hungarian warship's retreat.

This is the abandonment strategy.

The heavy battleship that collided directly with it was an abandoned one. It was used to attract an unknown number of submarine torpedoes. The real killer weapon was the three cruisers that were bypassing the side. They carried fast-firing secondary guns and mechanisms.

The guns, their mission is very clear, which is to take down the Austro-Hungarian warship!

Capture the thief first. Capture the king first. As long as this 'command ship' is captured, the submarines on the bottom of the sea will throw a trap. Not only will they surface and surrender, but at least they will not dare to act rashly again.

The strategy is simple, but its execution on the sea is quite complex.

However, this was not a problem for the well-trained British sailors. Four warships with heavy missions rushed out, doing their duties in an orderly manner, and immediately turned into four sharp arrows that seemed to be alive but not connected to each other.

, the heads were fired directly at the Austro-Hungarian warships from four directions.

Even if it doesn't penetrate, it still blocks all the opponent's escape routes!

Such skillful maritime maneuvering and battleship cooperation made Li Hongzhang couldn't help but applaud: He is indeed the world's best navy. Although he is a second-tier sailor, we still need to look up and learn from him in Beiyang!

As for Lin Tai, who was waiting to lead the crowd, he lowered his head, showing a modest and studious look.

However, the development of the battle was not as expected by Li Hongzhang. When the British army was about to surround the Austro-Hungarian warships on all four fronts, there was a sudden tremor in the sea water, and four white lines like white lines cut through the waves, like white wax.

The rod appeared so suddenly and was inserted into the bottom of four British warships so suddenly!

Rumble. Bang. Bang...

A barrage of cannons exploded on the sea, resounding throughout the world. Four British warships were hit one after another. Not to mention continuing to fire, they caught fire on the spot, took in water, and were about to sink!

Torpedo. Torpedo again!

The lethality of submarines is so great!!

In Li Hongzhang's opinion, in this scene, wherever the torpedo attack warships were, it was clearly four "unlucky boys" that were heading towards the torpedoes.

There was no warning before the collision!

At this time, Li Hongzhang couldn't help but tremble all over, and the hand holding the railing was also shaking. He finally understood: How could the opponent not have the strength to completely annihilate his own side? It was simply not willing to go on a killing spree. Once it wanted to...

There are nearly thirty ships here, and they are just like paper. If the other party squeezes them, they will all be destroyed!

No wonder it takes its time and lets us eat and sleep to keep our spirits high.

At this time, a Beiyang general came up and said to the stunned Li Hongzhang: "My lord, I seem to have heard that Long Hao, Earl of Beihai, killed six British ships of Fremantle outside San Francisco Harbor in one morning.

Battleships, yes, rely on this...submarine!!"

"...What? Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

A flash of lightning flashed through his mind. Li Hongzhang suddenly turned his head, his face was bloodshot, his breathing was rapid, and he grabbed the general, but then all the strength in his body was drained. As soon as his hand was loosened, he fell down softly.

.

It’s Long Hao again!

These invisible and intangible submarines turned out to belong to the alchemy king!

In this way, Fremantle has long known the power of the submarine, but he still insists on doing it forcefully. Hiss, could it be said that he and Long Hao are actually in the same group?

Did they join forces and dig a big hole for me to jump into?

The thoughts in his mind were like stars in the sky, wandering uncertainly. Li Hongzhang's eyes were blurred. In a trance, he seemed to see the handsome boy who was young and shameless, always with a lazy smile on his lips, standing tall with Liu Kunyi.

, Lao Gao, shaking his shoulders, lowered his head and laughed at himself...

Li Hongzhang couldn't remember clearly what happened next. He only vaguely remembered that one warship after another was sinking on the sea, and his ears were filled with deafening explosions, as well as the high-decibel screams of the sailors after they fell into the sea.

.

Even the British accent is so harsh!

To be precise, Li Hongzhang was carried off the deck, but he didn't know it. In addition, what he didn't know also included: this East China Sea naval battle, known as the "Austro-Hungarian Attack", lasted until

It doesn't end until nine o'clock in the evening.

The results of the battle were reported back to Shanghai, which was waiting anxiously at midnight, and the "Alchemy Express", which had obtained the first-hand news, worked overtime all night to print out this ups and downs of the sea battle with both realism and art.

, distributed free of charge throughout the city.

Naturally, these things were closed to Li Hongzhang who was in a coma. It was not until four days later that our Master Zhongtang opened his eyes.

After Li Hongzhang woke up, his first words were: "How is the battle going? Did we win...or were we defeated?"

However, after Li Hongzhang said these words, the memories came back and poured into his heart. He immediately smiled bitterly in his heart: With the presence of submarines that disrupt the balance of war, can our side still win?

Needless to say, I was deceived by Fremantle’s argument that ‘the opponent’s ammunition is scarce’!

It's so damn pitiful!

The light in front of Li Hongzhang was dim and blurry. The big fat face under the dim light was Lin Taizeng. The commander of the Zhenyuan showed joy when he saw that Li Hongzhang was awake. He quickly summoned the soldiers and gave them to the master of the Zhongtang.

Bring the prepared soup.

"Still on the boat?"

Li Hongzhang's mind was not yet confused. He squinted and saw that the attendant who brought the medicinal-flavored soup was a man. He knew that he was still on the ship.

Because, only women are not allowed on board the ship.

Lin Tai once said in a low voice: "Yes, sir, we are still on the ship! The Jingyuan is scrapped, scrapped..."

Gunboats are the lifeblood of Beiyang, so Lin Taizeng's tone at this moment was no different from announcing a funeral, and he almost cried.

"Jingyuan ..."

Li Hongzhang trembled, and the medicine soup almost splashed: "That is to say, we are defeated?"

"Yes, it's not just us. The British are even worse! Nama. Well, the submarine that is that is unstoppable! The torpedo gods are ghosts, and they can't prevent it!"

As soon as Lin Tai once talked about the submarine, his body was shaking violently. Obviously, the painful memories brought by the submarine had pain in the bone marrow, and he was unforgettable.

Next. Lin Tai once said that after Li Hongzhang fainted that day, what happened on the sea of ​​151 was said.

On that day, after Li Hongzhang left the field, the invisible submarine continued to launch an attack on the British Far East Fleet. According to Lin Tai, after the First World War, the British Far East Fleet lost at least eight warships.

Number.

There is no way. Whoever makes the submarine's power too powerful, and it is not like a ghost, it is not the British Far East Fleet that eliminated second -class battleships can resist.

There is no specific impression why Lin Tai had had the number of losses to the Far East Fleet. It was described by ‘at least’? Because when the Far East Fleet was defeated, the Beiyang Marine Division was also attacked by the Austro -Hungarian ship!

Compared with the Far East Fleet, the Beiyang Marine Division undoubtedly wants more 'lucky'. Running over and launching the attack is about one or two submarines. Lin Tai once held the highest command of the Beiyang Marine Division after Li Hongzhang was unconscious, ordering Beiyang to Beiyang.

The artillery ship quickly spread out and escaped in multiple directions.

That unlucky artillery ship is Jingyuan!

Don't look at Lin Tae -sung's minor problems, but his love for Beiyang is beyond doubt. It can be said that every gunshire is his life root!

Therefore, when the Jingyuan sank, Lin Tai had given up his resistance. First of all, he hung the white flag on the flagship town, asking the Austro -Hungarian ship not to continue attacking.

There is no way, because of the lack of funds for buying ships, every loss of a gun ship is difficult to estimate!

Lin Tai has been unable to afford this responsibility!

The Beiyang Marine Division surrendered. On the other side, the Far East Fleet still resisted for a while, and there were countless artillery, but after all, Ming Noodles lost to the dark attack, that is, than Lin Tai ordered the white flag for more than 20 minutes.

Also surrender.

At that moment, that picture, Lin Tai once remembered that it was very clear that the entire sea area was full of fire warships, the sound of the water crew staff, and the blasting of the black smoke filled ...

Stunning.

Lin Tai once talked about this, Li Hongzhang took a breath, suddenly straightened his waist, and asked in a hurry: "Kai Shi, what ships did the British Far East fleet lose, go, let me see!"

Lin Tai was slightly puzzled, but he was done according to his words. He ran out and took the sailing logs that day. It marked all the names of the British warships sunk by the Austro -Hungarian diving boat that day.

After watching Li Hongzhang, his face changed and changed. Soon he closed the navigation log and closed his eyes.

For a long time, he sighed with a long sigh: "A good murderer borrowed by a knife, eliminating the poisonous tricks of dissidents! This Ferimot, the old man underestimated him, and went to his evil!"

Hearing the words, Lin Tai was full of confusion, and quickly asked the adults from the middle hall.

But he heard Li Hongzhang said: "... the old man got a reliable intelligence channel from Leilong, and probably knew the name of this artillery ship under the hand of this General Filimot!

Battleships, six of them are right with the old man's information! It is the other three, and I do n’t know if it belongs to this scope! Kai Shi, do you say this will only be a coincidence? The old man does not believe it! "

After listening to it, Lin Tai had heard of it, and the sweat beads on the back were all out, and they couldn't believe it: "Big, adult, is it, that General Felimot sent the news of these ships to the Austro -Hungarian ships to the Austro -Hungarian ship

Then borrowing their hand, one by one bombarded one by one? This, this is unlikely? That is a ship's warship, high value, so lost ... God, humble job is incredible! "
