Chapter 70 Bloody Elegy II

The weakest part of the armor of a warship is the part below the waterline. The sampan just now had at least a few hundred kilograms of **. Under the detonation of so many *** under the detonation of three Marines, the destructive power of such ** can be imagined.

The part of the starboard waterline of the unlucky Russian cruiser was lifted by a huge explosion and a gap about two meters away in diameter. A large amount of sea water poured in instantly. In just ten minutes, the sea water broke through the waterproof warehouse and poured into the coal storage room. The cruiser immediately lost its power system and was paralyzed on the sea surface.

At this time, more sampans began to approach their respective targets. Because of the limit of the firing angle of warships and naval guns, the naval guns on the Russian warships could not hit the sampan that had already rushed to the bottom of the bow.

When some soldiers on Russian warships found that the naval guns were helpless against these close sampans, they were frightened and carried some things on the deck that could be discarded. Some Russian soldiers even raised the bodies of some dead soldiers and threw them down from the deck. They tried to use these things to sink the sampan below.

However, it was too late.

Marine soldiers immediately detonated bombs loaded on the sampan after approaching the enemy ships. For a moment, the Russian Pacific Fleet was in chaos, some were busy extinguishing fires, and some were busy blocking leaks. About a dozen Russian fleets were hit by such human bombs. The formation of the Russian Pacific Fleet was in chaos and flames were everywhere.

"Report to the Chief of Staff, the waterway has been cleared and you can leave the port now!" A messenger ran in excitedly and reported.

"Okay!" Yan Fu showed joy on his face, not expecting that the minecraft demining speed of the minecraft troops was faster than he expected! "Immediately order the minecraft formation to return to the formation and follow the Longwei and Longxiao to break through!"

"Why haven't you gone yet?" Yan Fu asked when he saw that the messenger was still stunned.

"Report to the Chief of Staff, at the last moment, in order to break the mine formation as soon as possible, they used their torpedo boats to detonate all the mines in the end. The mine formation was broken, but all six torpedo boats sank!" The young messenger faintly cried when he finished his last sentence!

"Okay, okay, I'm worthy of being my Chinese man!" Yan Fu didn't know whether to praise the Marines or all the officers and soldiers of the minecraft. When Yan Fu finished this sentence, his face turned pale and he staggered and almost fell to the ground. Ye Zugui hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Chief of Staff, take care of your health! The Beiyang Fleet still needs you now!"

Yan Fuqiang cheered up and ordered: "Now break through immediately, Longwei and Longxiao are in the forefront, supply ships and other warships are in the middle, and the three ships of Hairong, Haiqi and Haichen follow behind and take the cover!"

Yan Fu's order was quickly transmitted to every Beiyang Fleet warship in Lushun Port through radio waves.

The Dragon Wei and the Dragon Xiao rushed forward with their thick skin and thick flesh. The average small-caliber naval gun could not cause too much damage to them.

After the two battleships that were in charge rushed out of the Lushunkou, Yan Fu immediately ordered Sa Zhenbing to make the two ships of Longwei and Longxiao parallel formations, and use their thick armor to block most of the shells. At the same time, the powerful firepower of the four triple-mounted main guns on the two battleships was at its peak at this moment.

The twelve guns sprayed out angry flames at the same time. Under the wall of bullet fire of the twelve main guns, the destroyers with relatively weak armor complained.

Soon, under the cover of Longxiao and Longwei, the ships of the Beiyang Fleet anchored in Lushun Port also sailed out of Lushun Port.

The Russian Pacific Fleet, which was awkwardly accused of being attacked by the Marine Corps a moment ago, was also rapidly adjusting its formation.

The Russian Pacific Fleet Lovstsky kept roaring in the bridge. Under the previous Marine Corps' sampan bomb attack, he ordered three main battleships to retreat to the end of the formation. Now the two main battleships of the Beiyang Fleet are killing all directions in front.

The only three main battleships in the Russian Pacific Fleet were able to compete with the two 10,000-ton battleships of the Beiyang Fleet. The cruiser formation that had just stood in front was hit by a sampan bomb, and several Russian cruisers caught fire in front of the formation and even lost their ability to move.

The several wounded Russian cruisers in front not only became the best sea-mountain target ships for the Longwei and Longxiao, but more importantly, these inactive cruisers completely became obstacles to the advancement of the three Russian battleships.

When the commander of the Russian fleet, Luofstasky, saw that most of the Beiyang fleet had already rushed out of Lushun Port, he couldn't help but feel angry. He ordered all the three battleships at the end of the formation to fill the right rudder. He was preparing to let the three battleships bypass the formation and attack directly from the left wing, because he knew that if the injured cruisers in front made way, the Beiyang fleet would probably have escaped long ago.

Lovstowsky kept flashing his promise to His Majesty the Tsar. The time has come to fulfill his promise. He must take the latest battleship under his feet to wipe out the Beiyang Fleet.

Just as Lovstowski's three battleships were circling to the left wing of the original formation, all the ships of the Beiyang Fleet had rushed out of Lushun Port.

Yan Fu was constantly paying attention to the battle situation in the command center of the bridge. At this time, at Lushunkou, the Beiyang Fleet and the Russian Pacific Fleet were basically strangled together, and they were fired from each other. Warships from both sides were constantly shot, either the deck caught fire, or the hull was tilted.

In Yan Fu's telescope, three Russian battleships appeared in the southeast. Yan Fu sneered. The Russian commander was extremely stupid. He actually placed the main battleship at the end of the formation, and instead placed the cruiser with the weakest armor in front of the formation to fight.

"Captain Ye, immediately order all Beiyang Fleet ships to release thick smoke and break through before the three Russian battleships surrounded us!" Yan Fu ordered. He knew that with the current combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Fleet, he could completely annihilate it in one fell swoop. According to the Pacific Fleet, the Beiyang Fleet, which lost the initiative, would also suffer heavy losses.

"But..." Ye Zugui hesitated.

Yan Fu followed the direction where Ye Zugui stared at. There, the Haichou where Fang Boqian was already shaking in the artillery fire. Obviously, when the first shell hit the bridge, Haichou was hit by fierce shells. Now the hull of the Haichou is tilted violently, but it still has not sunk.

Yan Fu knew Ye Zugui’s thoughts. He wanted to take the opportunity to sink the Haichou in one fell swoop. After all, Fang Boqian’s life and death are unknown at the Haichou. Ye Zugui wanted to sink him in one fell swoop, making Fang Boqian pay a heavy price for his rebellious behavior.

Yan Fu said: "Captain Ye, execute the order. I know you really want to kill this traitor yourself now, so why don't I want to? But you have to remember that the most important thing now is to break out and maintain the combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Fleet to the greatest extent. Never let other powers take advantage of the situation. A gentleman will take revenge. It will not be too late for ten years!"

Ye Zugui shook his teeth and stared at the sea chips with thick smoke on the distant sea surface. In the end, reason finally defeated the impulse.

Ye Zugui immediately sent a telegram to other ships to release thick smoke immediately and take the opportunity to break through.

The two fleets fought in the small Lushunkou for nearly four hours. After the Beiyang Fleet released a large amount of thick smoke, the Russian Pacific Fleet immediately lost the command of the flagship and fell into smoke. The other ships fought on their own. Because of the advantage of radio, the Beiyang Fleet did not have to rely on flag-spoken commands even on the thick smoke surface. Therefore, other ships of the Beiyang Fleet were able to successfully accept the orders of the Longwei in the thick smoke.

When night fell, the Beiyang Fleet finally broke out of the encirclement and returned to Weihaiwei with full horsepower.

Rovstsky, the commander of the Russian Pacific Fleet, watched the Beiyang Fleet disappear in front of him. He roared hysterically on the bridge of the Nikola. The great opportunity to wipe out the Beiyang Fleet was slipping away in front of him.

With the current speed of the Russian Pacific Fleet, it cannot catch up with the Beiyang Fleet at all. Moreover, more than a dozen warships of the Russian Pacific Fleet have been injured and their combat effectiveness has been sharply reduced. Lovstowsky could only sigh helplessly, and then bring this broken fleet back to Lushun Port.

...

Wafangdian, dusk.

Under the reflection of the sunset, there were countless corpses piled up in the valley in front of Wafangdian's city gate, including war horses, Russian Cossack cavalry, and Lone Wolf team members. A strong smell of fishy smell came from the valley.

At this time, Tang Jian was covered in blood and was panting and slumped on the side. Liu Kunsheng on one side was also not as good as there, and a wound behind him was deeply boned.

Tang Jian could no longer remember how many times the Russian Cossack cavalry charge was. He only knew that he had changed three big swords, and the last one had been cut and rolled up.

The highest commander of the vanguard of the Russian Cossack cavalry this time was the envoy of Witt. In the narrow valley, Witt knew that the large-scale charge of the cavalry was no longer useful. After several temptations, Witt also knew that there were not many Qing troops ambushing the valley now, so he adopted the wheel tactic.

From 3:00 p.m., Vette ordered the Cossack cavalry to charge continuously, and little by little exhausted the combat effectiveness of the lone wolf.

Tang Jian said to Liu Kunsheng: "Let someone count the casualties and ask everyone to prepare. The Cossack cavalry will charge again later!"

After a while, the casualties were counted. The entire army was very severely reduced. Among them, the casualties on the first line of defense were the most serious because all the traps were used up. The lone wolf on the first line of defense basically fought face to face with the cavalry. After a few rounds, only more than 40 people were able to move in the first line of defense.

Now the entire lone wolf has been reduced by more than half, and only 150 people can form combat effectiveness. Among them, the losses of Wang Jianchuan's troops in the sniper company are the smallest because they are fighting from a long distance.

"Woo woo..." The shrill trumpet sounded again.

Tang Jian tightly held the handle of the blade and said to himself: It's coming again!
Chapter completed!
