405 Evacuate the battlefield

"Damn, these French guys are really not things, slaughtering innocent fishing boats and merchant ships along the way...... Hey, how do you translate that word?"

"Give me the dictionary, it's the one for military terminology...... Damn, all the ships of the colonies that can go to sea have been assembled, and the envoy sent by France is called Molière..."

"Molière? wait, why do I feel so familiar...... Isn't that a writer...... Damn, what am I thinking, hurry up and translate, continue to translate......"

The four young men in the captain's room flipped the paper in a hurry, and when they encountered obscure words or scribbles, the four of them would get together to analyze together, is there a lot of power?

"Found it...... This is a hand-drawn topographic map of the Ryukyus, on which the plans of the French are all ......" Xiang Ying shouted, and all four heads were on it.

It was a blank sheet of paper with a simple topographical map of the Ryukyus drawn with a pen, and the scribbled arrows had already indicated all the intentions of the fleet.

"Wavebreaker, Quickwalker...... It turned out that the battleship under our feet was a light cruiser called the Wave Crusher, and it was the Quickwalker that was blown up and sunk..."

"The two warships took 300 Marines from the eastern Pacific Ocean to the waters of Kunigami in an attempt to establish a beachhead for landing...... They communicate with the main fleet by fireworks signals, and once they succeed in seizing the beach, the main fleet will divide its forces and go north to bring more marines to support ......"

"Damn, did we see the fireworks just now?

Four friends, look at me, I look at you suddenly scattered and ran out like crazy, "Full sails, all ships full sails...... Reinforcements from the French arrived immediately...... These two damn ships are actually the weakest ones......"

"Don't rush to the beach...... We don't have time...", the four rushed onto the deck like madness, and poured out all the plans of the French.

If it weren't for the fact that these four college students discovered the military plan of the French in time, it is very likely that in the process of grabbing the beach, the four battleships would have been dumplings made by the French. When the time comes, you can't advance, you can't retreat, and the French battleships can send everyone to the sea to feed the sharks as long as they fire their guns from a distance.

"What should I do? You have a bright mind, do you have any ideas?" The sailors were completely convinced, they used to joke that they were useless scholars, but today these four young people taught them a lesson, this war is really a science, and it is not possible without culture.

Xiang Ying has always been the leader of the four-person team, and at such a critical moment, Cai Bixuan and Jin Fat Man all set their eyes on him, which made Xiang Ying feel pressured.

In the final analysis, Xiang Ying is just a talent who came out of Xiangjiazhai in Jingxi, it is more than a year of study at Ryukyu University and his special status can audit Xiao Letian's internal small class, which makes him have a little insight beyond everyone else, but he really has never made such a big decision.

His heart is beating drums, what should I do? Although I have discovered the enemy's conspiracy, how should I choose? It is not enough to find out that the problem cannot be solved, this is not the talent that the prime minister wants.

What if the Prime Minister was here?

Time passed minute by minute, and the people around him were all sweating on their foreheads, and suddenly Xiang Ying suddenly remembered what Xiao Letian said in the training class.

"War is not flat but three-dimensional, sometimes the best way to solve the dilemma is to jump out of the battlefield to find, when your enemy wants to solve you on the battlefield, your best choice is to leave the chess game, without a strategic vision, then you will be a general for the rest of your life......"

Xiang Ying thought of this, slapped the deck, jumped up, and shouted, "Stop the shelling, all the battleships are full of sails... We left the main island of the Ryukyus, and we went north to ......"

"Ahh

Looking at the passionate sailors, Xiang Ying waved his hand, "No, we are not deserters, what we have to do is to become a lone wolf in the sea, what we have to do is to cruise outside the battlefield and maneuver with the enemy, they want to besiege us all to death, we don't..."

"Brothers, my uncle is Xiang Shaolong, the prime minister's personal guard, and the lives of hundreds of our Xiang family were saved by the prime minister, can I be a deserter? I didn't miss the Prime Minister's lesson......"

At the critical moment, Xiang Ying also knew how to use a big hat to suppress people, and sure enough, Xiao Letian's name was raised, these sailors stopped talking, and after a while, a sentence came from the kung fu crowd.

"I believe in you, I believe that Long Ye's nephew is not a soft bone, and I also believe that your head is more flexible than ours...... What are you doing in a daze? The sailman replaces the broken sails, and we are ready to go......"

In the midst of the busyness, Xiang Ying's hand clutched the railing, his eyes stared at where the Beishan trench was, and he silently recited in his heart, "My good brothers, you must hold on, and remember to act according to my plan...... Prime Minister, I don't know if I'm doing the right thing, if you were here, would you make the same choice as me......"

One broken sail after another was taken off, and in order to improve efficiency, people did not bother to fold them, and threw them into the sea as soon as their hands were raised, and there were spare sails in the bilge of the battleship, and the sails were tied to the mast and raised little by little in the sound of the trumpets of dozens of sailmen in unison.

"Enemy ship...... There are really enemy ships...... Dog's day, they are slaughtering our brothers...... "When ninety percent of the broken sails had been replaced, and the hour hand pointed to five o'clock in the afternoon, the rumbling of cannons suddenly came from the west side of the Kunigami Sea, and one after another clippers fled north with smoke and smoke.

"It's the first ship...... Why the hell did you burn like this...... Look, he's sending a flag......"

"It's the second ship...... Oh my God, where did the waterline blow up...... It's going to sink, the ship is going to sink......"

In the midst of countless exclamations, the five clippers retreated rapidly from south to north, and behind them there were only four French warships, but now even a fool could tell that the enemy was strong and I was weak.

The French sent professional heavy cruisers, each of which was loaded with sixty guns, and they were firmly pressed behind the clippers, although they were not fast, but they could not hold their guns sharp, and each salvo could bite off a piece of bloody flesh on the fleeing battleship.

"Damn, the enemy is pursuing in a zigzag pattern, and every time they turn the rudder they have a salvo of artillery on one side...... Bastards, they're going to go after our sails......"

Holy, Piety, Poseidon, Rafale...... The four French heavy cruisers were only separated from the main fleet and headed north after receiving the pyrotechnic signal, and the four battleships not only had the superior combat strength of 240 guns, but also had more than 1,000 marines on deck, and they had only one purpose, they wanted to establish a permanent base for advance in the village of Guotou.

The four warships headed north, and it was inevitable to cross the wide reef area, where exactly seven clippers were anchored. The French will never be polite, although their ships are too deep to enter the reef area, but their artillery is not an ornament, and no matter how fast the clipper ship is, it is impossible to outpace the artillery.

In the smoke of dissipation, the dense rain of bullets sank two clippers on the spot, and the remaining five were also wounded, and the injured battleships had no choice but to flee north.

"Flag Message...... Let them continue north, out of the battlefield...... Our warships are not comparable to the enemy's at all, and the gap is too great...... Now the only way out is to get out of the battlefield......"

Xiang Ying is about to go crazy now, although he has fantasized countless times about leading troops on the ocean, he never thought that he would encounter such an emergency situation when he first went to the battlefield, and it was the line of life and death.

The hurried flag bearer began to pass Xiang Ying's order to the other battleships, and the four battleships that had just been repaired did not dare to stay and began to sail north with their comrades.

"Fire...... Keep firing...... Blow up the barbarians...... "The impatient roar of the enemy sounded from the French battleships in the distance, followed by another salvo of artillery, and the two clippers that fell behind the team could no longer withstand such a blow and sank to the bottom of the sea in the blazing fire.

The French warships desperately pursued, the Ryukyu warships fled desperately, and when the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled over the entire sea, only two clippers escaped from the sky, and in this encounter seven battleships were killed, five were killed, and countless sailors were killed or wounded.

Nightfall managed to save the occupation, and the two surviving ships joined up with the four previous ones and broke away from the battlefield, and by this time the Wavebreaker had become a worthy flagship, with the other clippers missing.

The main task of the French battleships was to support the landing force at the village of Kunigami, and of course they did not dare to continue the pursuit, but when they sent the first two light cruisers dead and one captured, the French, unable to suppress their anger, began to pour ammunition on the northern mountain, and the trench area was bombed in a mess.

Xiang Ying...... Attaboy... It really didn't disappoint us, you go, live well, the future world is yours, you are the hope... Even if we are all wiped out here, it will be worth ......"

Chu Zhao hid in the dead corner of the trench to hide from the enemy's artillery fire, there was no fear in his eyes, only hope.

"Brethren... It's going to get dark, the French artillery is about to fail, let's be patient a little longer, don't be afraid of them..."

"There's nothing to be afraid of death, even if we die, the Prime Minister will give us revenge... Hold on, keep it up..."

In the roar of Chu Zhao, in the rumbling fire of the French gunboats, the sun finally set in the west, and the shelling that had lasted all day was finally over now, and both the enemy and us entered the time to lick their wounds.
