"When the battle alarm was sounded, all ships immediately took aim, formed a battle formation, and searched and advanced to the northeast." Clenching his fists, Li He gave the order quickly and firmly. Nine years later, the naval battle between Japan and Liaodong will break out here again.

The siren of the Gugu Ningyuan sounded, and the desolate battle alarm suddenly sounded over the Liefei Islands.

The iron anchors of the ships of the Beiyang Naval Division, which had been anchored for three hours, were once again pulled up from the sea by the sailors. On the mast, the signalman quickly waved the flag in his hand and quickly issued the order on the flagship.

The boiler, which had not been extinguished, burned again, and a huge smoke began to rise, and in a short time it blackened half of the sky.

With a creak, the warship that had reached pressure slowly began to move forward, and after a while, the warship of the Beiyang Naval Division was according to the plan. Slowly unfold the formation.

This formation, starting with Ning Yuan, followed by Yin Sen and Ruojing, and then three torpedo cruisers, however, these three torpedo cruisers acted alone, and their task was to use their own speed to find fighters and want Japanese ships to launch torpedo attacks.

Seeing that the formation had been completed, Li He nodded and turned his gaze to the back deck of the Ningyuan.

It can be clearly seen that a group of sailors are now busy hoisting a strip of more than 30 meters long, and he knows that it is a submarine that will be launched in a while. ”

"I really don't know, what will these two things bring to the Japanese army after firing a torpedo from the bottom?" Yan Fu looked at Li He, then at the two submarines that were slowly descending to the sea, and said to himself.

"This." Li He smiled slightly, looked up at the sun that had been buried in the clouds, and this time lowered his head and showed a smile: "Then only God knows." ”

"Enjoy this rare tranquility, maybe wait a few hours, this is a sea of blood and life." After Li He finished speaking, he turned around and held the white railing in front of him with his hand, and quietly looked at the sky in the distance in a daze.

In the northeast sea of the Liefei Islands, in the command tower of the battleship Fuso, Fujiwara's heart at this time was full of doubts and uneasiness.

Just half an hour earlier, the Ikushima had signaled that a torpedo boat of the Beiyang Naval Division had been spotted in the southwest. After getting the news, Fujiwara immediately felt that something was wrong.

Over the years, the patrol fleet of the Beiyang Naval Division has never arrived at the Liefei Islands, and is basically in the Yellow Sea, but now, the torpedo boats of the Beiyang Naval Division have been found in the Liefei Islands, and it is only one, which is definitely a problem, but he is a little confused about where the problem is.

"In the southwest, one wisp of soot, two wisps and six wisps were found." From the mast lookout, the bleak voice of a lookout in a black navy uniform was heard over the Fuso.

There was a snap, followed by a flurry of footsteps. Fujiwara kicked down the chairs next to him one by one. Turn around and grab the binoculars and run towards the bridge.

Before Fujiwara could run to the bridge, the watchman's cry sounded again: "Discover the Beiyang Naval Division, discover the Beiyang Naval Division." ”

There was a slight trembling in the desolation, and the status of the Beiyang Naval Division still had not eliminated the fear in the minds of the soldiers. For this, Fujiwara Ichi could only shake his head helplessly, after all, this is not something that can be eliminated in a day or two.

Running to the bridge in a few steps, Fujiwara raised the telescope, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, he clearly saw that now the Beiyang Naval Division not only occupied the favorable terrain, but also aimed all the gloomy artillery at himself. ”

"Quick, sound the battle alarm, get on the gun position, and get ready for battle." Lips trembled. Fujiwara's face was blue and grabbed the clothes of the first mate next to him, and the spit splashed on the first mate's face.

"Yes, yes." The first mate nodded hurriedly like a chicken, turned around and ran out.

In less than a minute, a desolate siren began to sound from the Fuso, and the Japanese soldiers who were resting in the cabin heard this sound, and rushed out of the cabin in desperation, and began to fire their respective posts in a panic.

With a creak, the bulky turret began to rotate slowly, and the shells began to be reloaded.

"Forward speed, forward speed forward." Fujiwara gave the order again, and he knew very well that with the strength of both sides, he simply did not have the ability to resist.

Just ten minutes before the Combined Fleet discovered the Naval Division, the Beiyang Naval Division, led by the No. 1 torpedo boat on the left, had already discovered the Japanese escort fleet. The convoy lined up, guarding the three merchant ships inside.

"Order, all ships are moving forward at full speed, and after entering the firing range, hit Chiyoda first."

Li He's idea is simple, Fuso. Itsukushima is big, and it can't be sunk in a minute or two, so he thought, now knock out Chiyoda, and then attack Fuso and Itsukushima in the river.

"The ships come into range and shoot immediately." The first mate turned his head and began to signal the signalman behind him, and the flagman standing on the mast quickly waved the red flag in his hand after receiving the news, and sent the signal down.

Woo woo woo Li He, who was standing on the bridge, watched as he got closer and closer to the United Fleet, and the cold sweat in his hands also pinched out.

"Three thousand meters away, three thousand meters away." Instruments on the mast measure and tell aloud how far the two sides are now.

Three thousand meters is the best firing range of various artillery pieces of the Beiyang Naval Division.

"Three thousand at a distance, open fire."

Boom Boom Bang Ningyuan, four twin 210mm guns began to let out an earth-shattering roar.

After the rapid-fire guns on the side chord were also angry, the shells began to smash the Japanese Chiyoda.

Although the distance was three thousand, it was obvious that Li He found that all the shells fired had fallen in the sea forty or fifty meters away around Chiyoda.

"Tell everyone, don't panic, hold on." Knowing that this result was caused by the fact that the sailors were too nervous, taking a deep breath, Li He began to give orders, at this time, if the soldiers could not recover quickly, even if they were firing a few volleys, it would have no effect.

With a loud bang, more than 30 meters in front of the deck of the Ningyuan was suddenly blasted out of a water column more than ten meters high.

Li He knew that the Japanese army had counterattacked. ”

Well, the rest is to put the blame on Japan. Smiling slightly, Li He looked at the sun that was about to shine through the clouds, and then looked at the time.

Seven o'clock on January 7, 1903.

"Commander, you can command the tower, it's dangerous here." Yan Fu watched the water splashed by the explosion not far away fall on the deck, and stepped forward to pull Li He, after all, Li He's safety was very important.

"No, I'm here today." After Li He finished speaking quietly, he raised the telescope in his hand again and looked at the Japanese Combined Fleet in the distance.

Boom was another salvo, and then there was an earth-shattering explosion, Li He clearly saw that a 150-mm rapid-fire cannon exploded after hitting Chiyoda's rear deck, and the explosion caused a sky-high fire, not to mention, but also lifted Chiyoda's rear main gun into the sky.

On the Fuso, the current Fujiwara's face was pale, he regretted it very much, why didn't he fire the cannon first, and now it has become such a situation, it has only been less than ten minutes since the start of the war, and Chiyoda has been hit by a cannon, and looking at the bombardment of the Beiyang Naval Division, he will not give up if he does not sink Chiyoda.

He guessed wrong, today's Beiyang Navy Division not only wants to sink Chiyoda, but also to destroy everything here.

"Aim for the Ningyuan." Fujiwara, who gritted his teeth, widened his blood-red eyes, and pointed to the Beiyang Naval Division's flagship Ningyuan, which was emitting intensive artillery fire in the distance, venting the anger in his heart.

The firepower of the British-built battleship is indeed fierce, and no salvo will push the battleship of more than 10,000 tons more than a meter away with a huge impact force.

The hard work paid off, and a cannonball finally hit the Ningyuan in the distance, but after the huge explosion, Fujiwara almost threw the anger in his hand to the ground, and the skin of the Ningyuan battleship was too thick to cause effective damage at all.

Boom, another earth-shattering explosion, and then, another series of explosions, Fujiwara was startled by this explosion, turned his head to look, and he clearly saw that the current Chiyoda was being martyred.
