Chapter 119 Dragon Claw Battle Flag

Pacific Fleet, flagship Polaris.

"Flying Fish returns, the Sky Survey and the Sea Survey have completed the scheduled plan to lure the enemy, and are currently retreating in this direction."

Listening to the voice of the communication room, Chen Ping and Long Guozhang's eyes lit up at the same time. After the two looked at each other, Long Guozhang took the lead in shouting, "Right full rudder! Full speed."

"Rield the battle flag! Pull the alarm, first-level combat readiness!"

"Repeat, raise the battle flag! First-class combat readiness! This is not acting! It's not acting!" The second mate took the phone and shouted.

With the order of Long Guozhang, the whole fleet was like an explosion, alarm bells and whistles! There were running sailors and officers everywhere, and the gun jackets were pulled away, revealing the ferocious muzzle.

The turret began to rotate, aiming at the direction in which the ship was about to appear. Huge shells were filled into the gun barrel. The gunners stared at the observation window, and the staff officers also began to mark the positions of the ships on the chart. While modifying the whereabouts of the fleet according to the information sent back from the reconnaissance ship, they were ready at any time. Take out the auxiliary plan.

The whole world seems to be in chaos.

Li Mo sat in the lounge with coffee. Simmons sat next to him and wrote and drew on a small notebook with a pen. He didn't know what he was remembering. Although Li Mo wanted to see it, this annoying beard refused Master Li's request on the grounds of confidentiality.

"Fuck you! I'm waiting for the young master here! I just won't let you watch the radio room!" Li Mo slammed his middle finger at Simmons' back. Suddenly, a sharp whistle broke the silence in the room.

Simmons closed his notebook, and Li Mo also finished his coffee. After looking at each other, the two quickly opened the hatch and ran to the command tower.

When the two arrived at the command tower, the command tower was immediately locked from the inside. Looking at the movements of the sailors outside from the porthole, they finally knew that this was no longer many exercises all the way!

"Yuanshou, where is the ship?"

Seeing that Li Mo's face had returned to normal, Chen Ping immediately reported, "The Sky Survey and the Sea Survey have caught fire with them and are now retreating here." Chen Ping looked at the following table: "I guess I can see them in ten minutes."

"It's an exchange of fire!"

Simmons swallowed. Because Chen Ping used English when he was present, he was very appreciative of the Pacific Fleet and asked, "Li, how are you going to fight?"

Start fighting!

Chen Ping finally regained some smiles on his face. He stood in front of the chart and pointed to the approaching Japanese ship to explain to Simmons: "Our plan is to disguise the two cruisers as Qing warships, induce the Japanese ships to chase into the ambush circle, and then rely on the advantage of artillery to take the lead in eating the forward, and then by the Resolution and Courage. Lead the four ships of sky patrol, sea patrol, flying fish and swordfish to form two teams and take a detour to the back of this array.

Chen Ping made a gesture of enclosing.

As the leader of the young generation of the Chilean navy, Simmons' eyes immediately lit up when he heard Chen Ping's plan. Let's not to mention that at this moment, the Pacific Fleet has an absolute advantage in terms of firepower and tonnage. This plan to lure the enemy alone is perfect.

What's more, they say that I have just gone through a hard battle, most of the warships have received trauma, and some of them have even lost their combat effectiveness. It's good to be able to exert 60% of their strength at this moment. Even if they fight a decent battle, they will definitely die, not to mention It's a sneak attack!

As time went by, Li Mo couldn't help but be a little nervous. The officers around him were also short of breath. Looking down from the conning tower, many of the soldiers behind the turret were already nervous and sweating!

After all, this is their first battle, and nervousness is inevitable. And this kind of tension can't be relieved by singing a few songs and telling a few jokes, as said in the novel. This kind of tension and fear of war can only be relieved by victory, so the first wave of attack is extremely important!

"The mast report, a large number of smoke columns in the northeast."

The first mate took the phone handset and glanced at the silent command tower.

Chen Ping was the first to wake up. After gently pushing Long Guozhang, he shouted, "Calculate the ocean current and measure the wind speed. Each gun position can be adjusted to shoot Zhuyuan by itself and prepare to pick up the station."

"Thank you." After being pushed, Long Guozhang finally woke up. He took a grateful look at Chen Ping and then ordered, "Fly raise the flag of the fleet and get ready to fight!"

As the commander issued the battle order, a unique battle flag quickly rose from the ships and fluttered in the sea breeze of hunting.

Simmons also quickly pointed the telescope at the Antarctic star beside him, looking at the naval flag of the Pacific Fleet raised high for the first time, and was a little surprised.

The background of the battle flag is sky blue, and there are three white stripes at the bottom, representing the sea. There is a blood-like fire cloud embroidered on it. At the same time, a golden dragon claw poked out of the fire cloud. On the dragon claw, there is also a broken sword that looks like a warship.

Although the whole dragon was not drawn like the Beiyang sailor, this sudden dragon claw did not make people feel funny at all. On the contrary, it became more ferocious and horrible against the background of the fire cloud.

"Did you design this?" Simmons looked at Li Mo curiously.

"Do you admire me very much? Worship me? If you want to ask me to design a military flag for the Chilean navy, it's okay! Wow, click...". Master Li is complacent.

Bah! What else is there to say with such a guy! Simmons turned his head and ran to Chen Ping's side, looking at the navy flag with envy. Anyway, this design is really good!

"Report, the Sky Survey is coming!"

"Coming!" ——

"Report, a large number of smoke columns were found in front of us, suspected to be a fleet!"

Hearing the report and looking at the two rushing cruisers in front of him, Kawahara suddenly had a very bad feeling. How could there be a fleet here? Maybe the observer misread it. It's just an ordinary fleet passing by?

"How far are we from Ben?" Seeing that Yoshino was getting closer and closer to those smoke columns, Kawahara's uneasiness became stronger and stronger, and he quickly asked the first mate around him.

"Report, we have exceeded the current eight nautical miles!"

"Eight nautical miles!" Looking at the chart, He Yuan found that he had been taken so far by these two cruisers. If those smoke columns were really a fleet, if they didn't have good intentions?

Heyuan's vest was wet with cold sweat in an instant, but he quickly rejected his point of view. At this time, the Beiyang Fleet had been beaten by himself. How could there be enemies here?

Thinking of this, He Yuan smiled at himself. It seemed that he was over-hearted and quickly ordered: "Don't worry about anything else, speed up, and be sure to catch these two cruisers."

"Yes." The staff quickly ran out to convey the order. At the same time, Akitsusu and Takachiho also came to the same conclusion as Yoshino, no longer caring about the columns of smoke getting closer and closer in the distance, but tried their best to hunt down the two Daqing cruisers flying the dragon flag.

But before the order reached each gun position, a huge fleet had jumped out of the ground line. Seeing the opponent's lineup, He Yuan almost sat on the deck.

It's too big!

This is the first impression brought to Heyuan by the unknown fleet on the opposite side, especially the two giants in the middle, which are almost twice as big as the two ships of Dingyuan Zhenyuan just now. The Yoshino is like an ungrown child in front of them.

Even the ships around them are much larger than Yoshino. Looking at the thick and ferocious barrel, Kawahara's eyes turned red in an instant. What made him more critical was that at this time, the other party actually discharged a battle formation. All the warships were lined up in a row, and the front and rear main guns moved up and down, obviously aimed at himself.

"Fack! Ask who they are! Tell them that this is the first guerrilla of the joint fleet of the Empire. They are ordered to hunt down enemy ships without hostility!"

He Yuan was about to roar and shout, when other officers also found something wrong and ran quickly to the mast. In less than a while, the correspondent brought the other party's flag message.

"Report, I received the flag saying that they were the Hawaiian Pacific Fleet, asked us why we attacked their cruisers, and said that if we don't make an explanation within 30 seconds, we will automatically enter a state of war."

"Hawaii Pacific Fleet? When did I attack their cruiser? In the face of accusations, Kawahara was stunned. However, his doubts were soon answered by the staff who came to report.

"Report, the two cruisers we chased have hung the flags of the Pacific Fleet and said with flags."

"What are you talking about!" As soon as He Yuan felt that he was going to explode, he roared.

"Say, let you cut your abdomen immediately, and they won't sink my ship!"

He Yuan's face was pale, and he was so angry that he trembled all over, "Baka! This is a conspiracy, a trap! I'm going to kill these bastards!" He knew that he and the first guerrillas had fallen into a carefully arranged trap, and it was too late to say anything at this moment. So he immediately untied the neckline, pulled it hard, and ordered, "Let's fire!" Fight to the end for the sake of the empire!"

Boom!

With a day of smoke spewing out from the front deck of Yoshino, a thick column of water suddenly emerged 100 meters away from the body of the Antarctic Star. Ji Rushan jumped straight, and these bastards dared to attack me first.

"Does the flagship have any orders?" Ji Rushan, who stared at the Yoshino fiercely, shouted.

"There is, the flagship command, fire shooting, be sure to sink the Yoshino!" A staff officer who had been staring at the flagship immediately shouted when he heard the inquiry. Almost at the same time, there was also a roar that had been suppressed for a long time in the command bridge of the other ships!

"What are you waiting for? Give me a call!"

"How did they call them just now? Give me all the call back!"

"Fly back!"
