"They won't let us go, these people will definitely not accept our surrender!" Ito Yuhiro suddenly said bitterly.

"Why? Didn't they accept the surrender of the Americans? The Japanese staff officer asked.

"We are different from them, we have a bitter hatred with them, and the rise of China and Japan will inevitably step on the corpse of another country to rise, so we will not let us go!" Yuhen Ito said.

Ito is not a veteran military strategist, and even his strategic vision has reached a very high level, and of course he knows that Taiwan will not let them go. First of all, let's not mention that Taiwan's navy and the Beiyang Naval Division of that year are almost in the same vein, and they were all formed by the remnants of the Beiyang Naval Division as the backbone, and the Taiwan Navy has had a common hatred with the Japanese Navy since its formation. The Taiwan Navy may be able to accept the surrender of the Americans, but it will never accept the surrender of the Japanese Navy.

On the other hand, the same is true in terms of the general trend. China and Japan, if they want to rise, must step on the corpse of the other side to rise. If Japan wants to dominate Asia, it must defeat China, a traditional power, and only by defeating China, a traditional power, can it truly become the hegemon of Asia and use China's resources to further dominate the world. If China wants to rise again, it must clean up Japan, otherwise it will not be able to dominate Asia.

For China, Japan is also a disobedient little brother, and if it can't even clean up a disobedient little brother, then how can it rule Asia at that time? At present, there are only two major powers in Asia, China and Japan, and they are so close that it is impossible to avoid conflict. And Japan has been on the rise for decades, will they still be willing to submit to China again? Emperor Meiji would not allow it. After years of changing public opinion and propaganda government, the whole of Japan will not be willing to continue to submit to China, a "feudal and backward" country.

If China wants to rise, it must defeat Japan, otherwise it will not be able to truly achieve hegemony in Asia. And Japan itself is an island country, there is not much land, there is not much resources. They seem to be technologically powerful, but they don't have any resources at all. China is also an important source of resources for them, so whether they want to eliminate China's influence in Asia or to gain resources, they must conquer China. Therefore, they will inevitably have a conflict with China, and this is the fundamental reason why one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. 、

In Asia, there will never be a place for two superpowers, and this is due to historical reasons, so China and Japan will inevitably clash.

"China will not miss any opportunity to weaken us. They will not accept our surrender. They can have such a chance, why don't they completely annihilate our naval officers, the essence of our navy will be completely buried this time. Yuhiro Ito said.

On the flagship in Taiwan, Qiu Baoren immediately shouted: "Hit me, hit me hard, don't let go of a Japanese." And they fight hard, it doesn't matter. Lord Wang has already said that there is no need to cherish the battleship. Lord Wang promised that even if it sinks, he will buy it for you again. You don't have to worry, you can't die. Our destroyers will be ready to rescue at any time, so you can fight with confidence. When the ship sinks, Lord Wang will replenish us, as long as you live. So there is no need to be stingy with the ship, there is no need to save shells, there is no need to worry about the ship. Call me all! ”

At this time, the psychological pressure of the Taiwan Navy was completely relaxed. Because Qiu Baoren has already conveyed Wang Guorui's meaning, that is, there is no need to be afraid of the ship sinking, because even if these warships are sunk, Wang Guorui will be made through the red alert system again. As long as these sailors are alive, they can return to another warship of the same type to fight at any time. Even, the old ones don't go and the new ones don't come, these monarch-class ships sink, and then they will be directly exchanged for sword-class battleships, so Wang Guorui is not afraid of sinking ships.

Anyway, now that Taiwan has achieved absolute superiority, what can those guys do? Even if his ship sank, the destroyer next to him immediately went back to rescue those sailors who fell into the water, the loss of sailors was not large, and Wang Guorui's loss was just a pile of broken copper and iron, and there would not be too many heart-wrenching losses.

"Chief of Staff Qiu has an order, give me a close shot, so as to increase the hit rate, and it can also improve the armor-piercing ability of the shell. Lord Wang has already said that it doesn't matter if the ship sinks, he will get us a new one! ”

Qiu Baoren's combat method is very simple and rude, that is, to smash you to death with money, anyway, close to fight. Even if three ships from Taiwan are exchanged for one ship for the Japanese, it will be worth it. However, the Japanese could not withstand such attrition, and soon a battleship was sunk.

"Poof—"

The Japanese battleship began to enter the water, and some of the sailors fell overboard, and some left in small boats. However, those who fell overboard or left in a small boat could not escape the encirclement and suppression of Taiwan's destroyers. Anyway, these small boats were not armed, as long as the sailors of the destroyer caught up with them, they could solve the battle with pistols, and even naval guns and torpedoes were not needed.

"Keep beating me, hit hard, not a single Japanese person will have to stay!" Qiu Baoren shouted excitedly.

"Bang ......"

Everyone began to concentrate their firepower on the last two battleships of the Japanese, and soon another battleship was sunk, and the sailors above them either sank to the bottom of the sea with them, or were surrounded and suppressed to death by the destroyer soldiers from Taiwan, in short, none of them survived.

Eventually, more than a dozen Taiwanese battleships began to lay siege to the last Japanese flagship. Although the last dozen or so battleships of Taiwan do not seem to be injured, several battleships have already withdrawn from the battlefield. But by this time, they were still persistent. This was an opportunity to beat the water dogs, how could they miss it? If you miss it, how can you explain it when your juniors ask about the battle back then? When the time comes, how can I be embarrassed to say that other comrades-in-arms are fighting, but I am watching from behind? What a shame it is! Anyway, the Japanese are just dry bones in the grave, and it is impossible for them to have casualties. So now they are all starting to follow, and Wang Guorui has also promised to give them another ship if the ship sinks, so they will not be afraid at all.

"Your Excellency Commander, we only have one last flagship left!" said the Japanese staff officer.

When Ito heard this, he said, "We have the dignity to die, and we cannot lose the dignity of our samurai." We can't die at their hands, let's end us in the Navy's own way! Open the sea valve. ”

The so-called sea valve is actually used as a valve to adjust the water level when the ship is repaired. Once the sea valve is opened, seawater will also come in from under the ship and then into the cabin. Of course, during normal driving, I didn't take the initiative to open this sea valve, because this is actually suicide. But now the Japanese were going to choose to accept this last battleship in this way, because Ito no longer had any hope of victory, so he chose to open the sea valve and then end up with them.

"Chief of Staff Qiu, the Japanese themselves sank? They opened the sea valve themselves and sank themselves! A Chinese naval staff officer said.

And Qiu Baoren immediately picked up the telescope to watch, and sure enough, he found that the last flagship of Japan was sinking at a very fast speed, which was not an ordinary silence hit by shells, but a very fast sinking, and the actual vertical sinking, which showed that the Japanese themselves chose to sink.

"They chose to kill themselves?" Sa Zhenbing feels incredible.

"Hey, in that case, then we don't have to fight! Order the soldiers, stop it! They're also one of our opponents, and we'll leave them with some last bit of dignity. Qiu Baoren said.

In this era, the Chinese people did not have as much hatred for Japan as later generations, and there was no Japanese war of aggression against China in the mid-20th century, so the level of hatred for Japan was mostly ordinary and not higher than that of other Western powers. China has not experienced the tragic experience of being killed by Japan, so it does not have as much hatred for Japan as it imagined. So I saw that the Japanese Ito Yuheng chose to sink the battleship by himself, so Qiu Baoren also chose to give Ito Yuheng, the opponent, some so-called "last dignity", so he didn't continue to fire, continued to insult him, and let him sink on his own initiative.

Soon, the last Japanese battleship sank, and none of the Japanese sailors on it survived, and they all sank to the bottom of the sea with the flagship, including the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, the commander of the military command, Admiral Ito Sukehiro, who sank to the bottom of the sea for a "sea burial".

"It's kind of cheap Ito Yuhyung, this old thing, I originally wanted to use his head to pay tribute to those dead comrades!" Sa Zhenbing snorted.

"Forget it, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, since he is dead, then there is no need for us to continue to insult his corpse. Being able to sink to the bottom of the sea for burial is also the best destination for a navy, and there is no need to insult them. For the opponent, I still have to be properly respected, there is no need to continue to insult their corpses. Let's go! Li He said.

However, Qiu Baoren said: "We still have one thing to do, and we can only complete the task after doing this period!" ”

"What's the matter?" (To be continued.) )
