It is twice the size of the Hongzhang, what kind of concept is this, Hao Ge swallowed a mouthful of saliva when he heard this.

But he was still a little unconvinced.

"Commander, you can go and see, now he is next to the Hongzhang." Seeing that Hao Ge didn't believe it, the adjutant said on the side.

Hearing this, Hao Ge immediately walked out of the command tower, and sure enough, he saw a terrifying scene.

Right next to the Hongzhang, there is a very large warship moored there. That head is not comparable to the Hongzhang.

What's that? Hauger, who looked at it again, asked the people in front of him.

No one can answer, no one can know what it is.

"Go and check, you must find out, what is that?" Hao Ge, who was a little timid in his heart, gave the order.

Check, I'm afraid it's not that easy, who can get out of the warships in the port now, even if they go out, whether they can come back, it's hard to say.

It had been more than ten minutes since the order was given, but Hauger found that there did not seem to be any warships leaving the port at all.

"Why didn't you investigate? Hauger asked the adjutant in front of him.

This one? The adjutant didn't know how to explain it to Hauger, and after thinking for a while, Hogger pointed to the warship he was on now.

understood, seeing this scene, Hao Ge immediately understood what the adjutant meant.

No warship dared to go out.

Now there are destroyers here, and it is estimated that before they have gone halfway out, they will be bombed by others, and they will not even see a single plank.

Damn, with a helpless curse, Hao Ge could only close his eyes.

The news of the arrival of the large warship also reached Hu Langge's ears two minutes later.

For this kind of large warship, Hu Langge still has some understanding.

This kind of warship seems to have appeared two years ago, when various countries made certain deductions, and in the end they were only defined as transport ships.

Therefore, when he heard that a large warship was coming, Hu Langge did not cause any panic in his heart, but asked his adjutant to go to the navy and talk about the situation.

It turned out to be a transport ship, then I was relieved, in the headquarters, Hao Ge looked at the telegram sent by Adjutant Hu Langge, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Woowoo........ In the early morning, the sound of the ship's whistle pierced the silence of the sky. Sunlight is already on the horizon.

In the distance, the Marila military port was still silent, but at this moment, next to the Hongzhang, the twelve airships had begun to start in full.

The roar of humming machines resounded throughout the deck,

"Five minutes to prepare, five minutes to prepare." On the deck, Chen Wenzheng, as the captain, kept passing orders back and forth on the deck.

The order of the command had already been given, and at eight o'clock the bombardment of the batteries began.

Now, eight o'clock is only ten minutes away.

Five minutes, soon arrived, seeing that the time had come, Chen Wen took the lead in entering his airship, and then began to give the take-off order.

Brush..... The cable was untied, and the airship, which had already been fully vented, began to take off.

Manila Military Port, because Li He's fleet was outside in the past two days, so Hao Ge got up very early.

Today, he came to the bridge early in the morning and observed the situation of the ship opposite.

What is that? Watch as a small black dot flew up from the transport ship, followed by two, three.

If you look closely, there are a total of twelve small black dots.

What is this, Hauger looked puzzled, and returned to the conning tower to pick up his telescope.

Airship. Hao Ge, who saw the situation clearly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he finally understood what this flying thing was.

What to do, he can't come up with any way to stop the other party now, looking at what is flying over, Hao Ge thought nervously in his heart.

"Commander, what should I do?" Looking at the airship that was gradually coming, the adjutant said nervously.

What to do, Lao Tzu can know what to do. Hearing this, Hao Ge kept asking himself.

"They're on the battery." A voice sounded, and Hauger, who heard it, looked at it, and it was true that now the airship was not moving towards the harbor, but towards the fort.

The fort is going to be bad, and Hao Ge, who heard this voice, was prepared to judge in his heart.

Boom....... Perhaps to confirm his thoughts, just a minute later, a bomb was dropped on the eastern battery.

It's over, there's no barrier left, and the battery is finished this time. Seeing that smoke was already billowing from the fort, Hauger let out a desperate cry in his heart.

Da Da Da ...... Amid the explosion, there was a burst of machine gun sounds.

Useful, hearing this voice, Hao Ge showed a wry smile, now the machine gun bullet is impossible to hit the other party.

Nanyang is finished, Hao Ge, who sighed, thought in his heart.

Boom Boom Boom ....... The bombardment continues. The entire turret was already full of smoke.

"How long has it been bombing?" On the deck of the battleship Hongzhang, Li He put down his binoculars and asked Yan Fu in front of him.

Yan Fu looked at the time: "Commander, it's been an hour and fifteen minutes. ”

Enough, such a powerful bombardment, even the ants of the fort have already been blown up, not to mention the defenders above and the huge target battery.

"Order, in half an hour, the fleet will attack."

For an extra half an hour, Li He also considered the warship, he would rather use more shells, and he didn't want his soldiers to be harmed.

"Progressive shooting." Seeing that the time had arrived, Li He held the railing in front of him.

Woowoo...... The whistle from the Hongzhang was the signal, and the ships that heard the sound began to change formation and then pounced on the port of Manila.

Rumble....... The main gun of the Hongzhang was the first to fire. 、

Shells, once again, rang out in the direction of the battery.

Understood, I finally understood, on the deck of the destroyer, Hao Ge finally understood one thing, that is, on that day, why Li He did not estimate his own ships at all, but only cared about shelling the shore defense batteries, so he did not take his batteries in his eyes at all.

And he also knows that his fleet is just one more day to live.

Cangtian, if I can still regret it, I would rather not have any friction with the Holy Chinese Empire for the rest of my life, we are not their opponents at all. and shall not be able to overcome them.

He really hated why the governor had to go against Liu Jun in the first place, now it's okay, it's too late, Nanyang is no longer domestic.
