Chapter 291: Tempering the soul and asking for monthly votes!

The sunset gradually sinks into the sea. After ten minutes, the originally red sea surface reflected by the sunset is red. In addition to the western sea and sky where the sunset enters the sea, there is only a little red light. The entire sea and sky have fallen into darkness and enters the night.\\.qВ5,//~~

The moon, which had long risen, is now becoming more conspicuous, but is often covered by clouds. A fleet of four warships seems to have disappeared from the sea and merged with the dark sea surface. Only in the distance, with the inconspicuous sea-sky dividing line, can the black silhouettes of warships be barely distinguished.

"Dangdang..."

The ship bell rang, and the sailors who were busy discarding the combustible materials on the ship or concentrated on soaking water immediately began to gather on the deck where Cheng Biguang stood on the deck under the moonlight, and began to give lectures to the soldiers.

"Everyone knows that in the year of Gengzi, our navy chose neutrality in order to protect itself, in order to protect itself. Although the two countries did not declare war, our navy chose neutrality again in order to protect itself, so we made a move to the south."

Cheng Biguang's words were filled with a strong sense of reluctance.

"Since the Battle of Dadonggou, our sea defense has not been twenty years away. After the Battle of Dadonggou, our navy seemed to be no longer there. Otherwise, there would be no neutral moves. Although this is neutral, it is not for anything else, just because the navy hopes that it can retain some seeds for the Chinese navy. But because the army will not allow bloody battles on land, our navy is supported by the people, so I pray that we can sit and watch?..."

After a speech, Cheng Biguang's expression became more and more serious, and he stared at the faces of the officers and soldiers under the moonlight.

"This battle is complicated and the enemy is inauspicious. However, our navy soldiers must be ready to attack the enemy at any time and be prepared to die at any time, with our blood

ou, recasting the soul of China's sea makes the world no longer ashamed of the Chinese navy."

After saying that, he did not salute the officers and soldiers, but bowed deeply.

"Please, please"

"Please rest assured, we will be sure to be the name of the navy."

After Cheng Biguang finished his lecture, the officers and soldiers returned to the cabin below. On the surface deck, there was no one else except the gunner. On the Lutian Bridge of the cruiser "Haiqi", Captain Tang Tingguang looked at the commander in confusion. Before the lecture, they had received a telegram from Lianyungang. The content of the telegram was very simple.

"The mission has been achieved, and the main force has been gone. Three remaining ships fled north at high speed. I hope that my brother will sweep away the remaining enemies on the sea with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves."

Regarding this telegram, the people who witnessed the tragic situation of the Third Team and the Mercedes-Traveling Merchant Fleet in Lianyun Waihai would never have any doubts about this telegram, but the commander of the side was really puzzled by him.

"Langting, the sea soul is not here"

In a word, he spitted out of Cheng Biguang's mouth. He had his own ideas for doing so. In fact, in the past few hours, after persuading the fleet to participate in this battle, he had been walking around the cabin, thinking about how to change the fleet.

After arriving at the fleet, at the meeting, most of the officers on the four ships opposed intervention. The understanding was very simple. The enemy's fleet was too powerful, strong enough to make them feel cowardly. It was enough that when they received the neutral order, they seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. All countries and responsibilities seemed to have disappeared.

The officers were still like this, not to mention that the sailors were completely disappointed with this fleet. Cheng Biguang knew that it was not his fault, nor did these officers blame him. Who made this navy so weak that they didn't even have the courage to fight, and as a navy, they should have the courage that they should have, even forgot that they were the navy.

The Navy is different from the Army

Since Nelson, the navy has been called a noble army. The reason why a noble is a noble family is not determined by material wealth, nor is it that a battleship can build several army divisions. It is more of an inner temperament, god, cultural and personal advantage. It is called a "noble" because the naval god formed by the naval soldiers in the companionship of steel and the sea. Each naval soldier is a "noble" of the god.

The battle god that the navy must have is called "Nelson" god in the West. Its marrow can be summarized in four words - fight when you see the enemy. Don't be afraid of strong enemies, don't be afraid of sacrifice, be brave enough to challenge powerful opponents, and even knowing that they are defeated, they must resolutely attack, fight to the end, destroy the enemy with sacrifice and blood.

Body and will. From a historical perspective, at the last moment, the navy often showed more firmness and tenacity than the army, and had a spirit of endless life and endless battles.

The God of Battle is the most basic God of Battle in the Navy, but now this navy has no one's own God of Battle in the War, no one's own soul, ten years of army and a hundred years of navy. The soul of a navy is the soul of a fleet without sea souls. Even the most powerful warships on the equipment ends up in the end. The history of world naval warfare has proved this again and again.

The reason why Chinese people say "there is no navy after the Sino-Japanese War" refers to the sea soul that is lost as the smoke of Sino-Japanese War dissipates. For Cheng Biguang, he knew that if the Chinese navy wants to raise the flag again in the ocean, the first thing they must do is to recast the sea soul. The fundamental thing about recasting the sea soul is to recast the combat spirit of the navy. Only in this way can the Chinese navy set sail again in the ocean.

"We all know what we are going to face, and we also know that even if the Japanese army still has a warship, what does it mean to us, but..."

After a little silence, Cheng Biguang spoke, but he looked at the cold moon.

"Tonight, as long as they know they won't, they will drive the warships to the war zone and fire the first shot, then..."

Cheng Biguang smiled on his face.

"The sea soul will return to their bodies."

Looking at the sea, Cheng Biguang remembered a famous saying.

"The career on the ocean belongs to the soul."

A fleet of four small warships sailed to the north. On the deck, the gunners wiped the barrel for the last time. At this time, after taking a hot bath, they had taken off their daily military uniforms and changed into brand new military uniforms. Several shells also wiped them carefully.

&áo Pen”

Under the moonlight, a young naval officer said to the gunner beside him, and after taking the pen, he wrote a few big words on the shell.

"Snowing the shame of Jiawu"

Perhaps, for the "Haiqi", there is only a chance to fire a few shots, but as long as the cannon is sounded and the shell is fired, it will be worthy of the support of the people.

The Navy can no longer disappoint the people

Looking at the sea and writing the four words on fifteen shells, Yu Shaoqiu thought so when he looked at the sea.

"Are you scared?"

"No, not afraid..."

The gunner's nervousness made Yu Shaoqiu smile, and he shook his head.

"It's normal to be afraid."

Who wouldn't be afraid? After all, they have to face the overlord battleship at the sea. Even the eight-inch cannon on the "Haiqi" ​​cannot penetrate the armor of the battleship. How could they not be afraid?

"But we are the Navy"

We are the navy, and the navy cannot be afraid. The navy itself is a career of a brave man. The navy must not fear strong enemies. The navy itself is composed of a group of people full of courage, so that we can do it even though we know we will die.

"So, we must do whatever we can to shoot the shells. Even if the war is gone, we must make our enemies admire our courage. We are afraid, who can't be afraid, but..."

He reached out and took off his subordinate's streamer cap, looked at the character "Navy Republic of China" on the cap circle, and gently stroked the embroidered characters with his hand.

"We are the Chinese Navy"

Looking up at the sea, Yu Shaoqiu's face burst into a hint of attachment to life, but then he was full of perseverance.

“This is the sea of ​​China”

"Sir, I understand that even if we want to defend our country, we will have no regrets even if we die."

Unlike the Army, even a Navy soldier has read books for several years. The Navy does not need to be illiterate and is not suitable for illiteracy.

"Even if you die nine times, you will have no regrets."

Whispering this sentence, Yu Shaoqiu patted his subordinates on the shoulder.

"Okay, then let's serve the country today."

At midnight, the lookout on the watchtower of the cruiser "Hairong" first discovered nine ships in line. On this sea, except for the enemy's fleet, there would never be a fleet of sailing in a row. This was obviously the enemy's fleet. Although the distance was more than ten kilometers, when the lookout picked up the phone, he still lowered his voice and made a report in a low voice.

"Oh, it's so badly lost."

Standing inside the bridge, Eiichi Yokomura couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the navy's defeat.

There was only a trace of luck left in his heart. Fortunately, the sun set, otherwise his "Xizawa Maru" would have been sunk. Faced with the attack of the Chinese plane, all the merchant ships fled. Everyone finally gathered together, but the army on the ship asked them to return and had to unload the materials on the ship to the shore.

So, Eiichi Yokomura, who escaped by chance, had to command the merchant ship to return. When he returned, he encountered several other merchant ships returning, and they all returned according to the requirements of the army.

If it weren't for the darkness now, the bombs dropped by the Chinese plane were not accurate, I'm afraid no one would be willing to return, even those army soldiers were holding guns

I will not return, after all, they will die no matter what. If the army dies, they will enter the Yasukuni Shrine and receive state pensions. His crew members cannot enter the Yasukuni Shrine.

"Left 65, distance..."

When the bow turret was shaking, Yu Shaoqiu repeated the order loudly. At the same time, he picked up the telescope and looked at the "enemy ship" in the distance. He looked very vaguely here and could not distinguish the model of the enemy ship at all.

"Bang..."

An armor-piercing bomb was loaded into the barrel, and the gunners were aiming nervously, and the distance was getting closer and closer. Through the mist on the sea, the enemy ship could be vaguely seen clearly, which was a merchant ship.

"Distance three thousand"

The gunners quickly shook their barrels.

"Open Fire"

In an instant, a ball of cannon flame spurted out from the bow of the cruiser "Haiqi", and the red flames with a diameter of more than ten meters reflected the red of the Haitian sky. Then, the stern guns opened fire, and the side guns also opened fire, and the entire fleet opened fire at these seven "enemy ships".

A few seconds later, the seven merchant ships were trapped in the sea of ​​fire. Armored piercing bombs of various caliber and high-explosive bombs were spitting at the merchant ships as fast as possible. The gunners all regarded these merchant ships as warships.

The merchant ship was twisted in the rain of bullets, the chimney was blown to the sky, and the bridge was blown to pieces. In just a minute, a merchant ship began to sink rapidly, and then another one. In just two or three minutes, when the shelling stopped and the smoke dissipated, a burst of rapid attackers saw that the "enemy ships" quickly sank. On the sea, there were enemies struggling on the sea after falling into the water.

The sinking "enemy ship" only stunned them. They looked at each other, and their eyes still looked in disbelief. Is this really their sinking?

No wonder, whether it is the Beiyang or the cruiser now, it has never sunk enemy ships. Even if it is sunk the enemy's merchant ships, this is the first time. This attack is so rapid and the shelling is powerful and accurate.

"Long live"

Suddenly, a thunderous roar sounded on the four ships. Listening to the thunderous cheers, Cheng Biguang, who was standing on the bridge, squeezed a smile on his face. As a naval officer, he knew better than anyone else that tonight, the sea soul will definitely return to this navy, which is no longer a navy with no army.

What is the navy's sea soul made of? It is not words, not teaching, but victory after victory, but a kind of "pride" soul built by sinking enemy ships. This soul will not be afraid, but the soul soaked in the blood of the enemy will only advance fearlessly.

"I order, aim at the Japanese army falling into the water and fire the gun."

Suddenly, an order was spit out from Cheng Biguang's mouth. His order only stunned everyone on the bridge, and Tang Tingguang looked at the commander incredibly.

"Sir, please don't forget the navy's demeanor"

When Tang Tingguang reminded him, Cheng Biguang glanced at his subordinates coldly and then said in an extremely cold voice.

"Tonight, I want the fleet to taste the smell of blood. If the enemy's blood is needed to forge the sea soul, I don't mind being a butcher."

When the order was issued, the naval guns sounded again, Cheng Biguang moved his eyes to the Japanese soldiers who were blown into the sky in the bullet post. Although his expression was cold, his eyebrows were still jumping slightly unconsciously.

"Don't forget that the Royal Navy originated from pirates, and it was the pirate's attack that made the Royal Navy us... This is just the beginning."
