Li Hongzhang and Cixi both knew that they couldn't intervene in this matter, so the two of them also nodded, indicating that they would be here, waiting for the good news of victory, seeing the two old guys nodding, Liu Jun smiled, and then turned around and returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall accompanied by Zhong Lin and Zheng Yiqian. Ran Wen ???? ?? ? ?ｅｎ`ｏｒｇ

When he came to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, Liu Jun immediately laid out the map of the Manila Fort.

For what Zhong Lin just mentioned, he had always kept it in mind, so now, he wanted to deal with this problem.

After carefully studying the map, Liu Jun found a problem, that is, the east and west forts are easy to solve, but the only thing that is difficult to solve is the cliff fort, this location is too hidden, he has the protection of the cliff, and ordinary shells cannot destroy it at all.

"You see, the batteries on both sides of this thing, we can destroy them with naval guns, but this cliff is the only one, this is a problem, the naval guns don't seem to work at all." Liu Jun, who looked at it again, said to Zheng Yiqian and Zhong Lin beside him.

Zhong Lin and Zheng Yiqian took a look, Liu Jun was right, the forts on the east and west sides are easy to solve, and the forts in this cliff area are a difficult bone to gnaw.

There were not many artillery pieces in this battery, but they were able to block the sea and would have caused a lot of damage to the landing.

"Head, I think it's the old rules to blow up with an airship?" Zhong Lin, who lowered his head and thought about it for a while, said.

Airship, Liu Jun, who heard this, began to ponder, and after a while, Liu Jun seemed to understand that it was true that the airship could be used to blow up.

"Okay, just use the airship, if the airship can't solve it by then, drop incendiary bombs, and I'll burn it all here."

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Yiqian and Zhong Lin both felt cold, if they couldn't explode, then burn, thousands of degrees of heat, I am afraid that the stones would burn.

"Tell Feng Ru that his airship is ready, and then the navy will set off and go to the South Seas, ready for battle." Seeing that the two of them had agreed, Liu Jun suddenly spoke.

understood, since Liu Jundu had already said so, the two people present didn't say anything, but nodded, and then began to prepare.

The South Seas port of Manila, three hours after the message was sent, and now, the fleet is already preparing to add coal and fresh water.

As escort ships, the Songshan and Feilong warships are now docked side by side at Pier No. 2.

"The message hasn't arrived yet?" Liu Lin, who was sitting in the command platform, asked Wang Ping in front of him,

Wang Ping, who had just come out of the radio, shook his head, indicating that the message had not yet been received.

I didn't receive it, could it be said that the capital has changed the plan, this seems a little impossible, after all, this plan has been formulated for a long time, and the capital will definitely not change it until the plan has already begun to be implemented.

"Maybe the marshals are discussing something, right?" Wang Ping saw where Liu Lin was puzzled, and immediately stepped forward and said.

Hearing this, Liu Lin nodded suddenly, and he also agreed with Wang Ping's words.

"Report, Beijing Emergency Electricity." A radio officer walked in and said loudly.

The capital urgently called, it seemed that the message had arrived, and Liu Lin, who heard this, stood up suddenly, and then took the document from the radio personnel.

"How? Isn't it? Seeing that Liu Lin hadn't spoken all this time, Wang Ping suddenly asked.

Liu Lin took a deep breath, looked at Wang Ping in front of him, and said lightly: "The handsome man has an order, carry it out." ”

Execution, Wang Ping, who heard this, trembled, he knew that the price of implementing the plan was the explosion of the Songshan.

"Ready, right?" Without any hesitation, Liu Lin looked at the Songshan Command Platform again and gave a heavy order.

When the Songshan came, more than a ton of explosives were placed in the ammunition depot, and these explosives, plus artillery shells, were enough to blow up the Songshan to the bottom.

Wang Ping knew that Liu Lin was very uncomfortable now, but he also knew that this plan had to be implemented, and after looking down for a while, Wang Ping stepped forward again and said, "Let's take a look, in a few hours, we won't be able to see the Songshan." ”

Well, Wang Ping's words can be regarded as a reminder of Liu Lin.

Liu Lin knew that when the telegram from the capital arrived, he would have to carry out the plan, that is, to detonate the Songshan at five o'clock tonight.

Now, it is already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and in eleven hours, the Songshan will explode and disappear here.

"Well, let's go see our old friend for the last time." Hearing Wang Ping's words, Liu Lin stood up and began to inspect everything on the Songshan accompanied by Wang Ping.

Songshan is indeed very large, and it took nearly an hour before Liu Lin returned to the headquarters from outside.

"Prepare, tell everyone, the evacuation will begin at 4:15, and the detonating device will be activated at 4:55."

"Understood." Hearing that Liu Lin had regained his composure after coming back, Wang Ping answered, and then began to convey the order.

The night is already very deep, the lights of Manila port have begun to slow down, the lights of the city are gradually extinguishing, standing on the bridge of the Songshan Liu Lin looked at the time, it is already two o'clock, waiting for three hours, the Songshan will begin to explode, he wants to take advantage of this time, take a good look at the Songshan cruiser.

Time passed little by little, watching the time approaching step by step, Liu Lin's heart was dripping blood. This warship is the warship he has been the captain for the longest time, although after the Songshan is silent, he will go to the Huashan as the captain, but the feelings in this are really different.

"It's four o'clock, let's go." Time flew by, and when Wang Ping walked out of the commanding platform, two hours had passed again.

At four o'clock, there was still an hour, and when he heard Wang Ping say this, Liu Lin, who took a deep breath, looked at the axe golden dragon flag on the mast of the Songshan again, and then smiled bitterly and said to Wang Ping: "Let's go." ”

The Wyvern is now next to the Songshan, and he has come here on a mission, more or less, to rescue the soldiers who have fallen into the water after the Songshan explosion.

At 4:15, the soldiers of the Songshan began to shut down everything, and then gradually withdrew from the Songshan.

In less than 20 minutes, all the personnel of the entire Songshan have been evacuated, and the rest are only the personnel who activated the ignition device and some corpses.

These corpses have been prepared a long time ago, the purpose is to be realistic, he wants to let Nanyang know that this time, we have lost a lot.
