Chapter 185 Li Gui defeated Li Kui

Outside the sea of Yuanshan, two cruisers flying the Japanese flag walked quietly. Yamamoto stood on the flying bridge of the Xuma, holding a telescope with a serious face. Behind him and around him, the other observers looked equally nervous.

The Suma is a version of the Akitsuzu Island. It was originally a small cruiser built by itself. Originally, there were two such cruisers, but after the last defeat, the Yokosuka Shipyard was emptied by the damned Pacific Army as a compensation mortgage, and the construction plan of the second ship was completely ruined. Fortunately, the Admiralty Department was about to complete the construction at that time. The cruiser hid and completed all the work six months later, so it was not claimed by Hawaii.

Next to

was the Hequan, the largest of the three cruisers urgently purchased from Chile after the war. Although the former Chilean naval flagship Esmeralda had a larger displacement than the Xuma, the damn Pacific Army still tampered with it. They bought the Chileans and not only destroyed most of the artillery during delivery, but also I also tampered with the boiler and steam engine, and it was not completely repaired until recently, but the combat effectiveness is still not optimistic.

As for the other two delivered cruisers, they are almost old, so even if the repaired Izumi has more displacement and more firepower, Yamamoto Kwon Bingwei still chose Suma as its flagship.

Although the Xuma can be regarded as a newcomer of the imperial navy, Yamamoto is still not optimistic about this operation, because the Russian Far East Fleet he is facing is too powerful. Not to mention the battleships and large armored cruisers, the four small cruisers alone, whether it is displacement and firepower, are better than The grinding number is much stronger.

In the face of the army brothers who were fighting desperately in North Korea, Yamamoto decided to come out and try their luck again, especially when they heard that the Russians began to attack Lushun. They felt that this was a good opportunity for the Japanese navy.

As long as one or two Russian [***] ships can be sunk, even if they are transport ships, there is great encouragement to the morale of the navy in formation and the Korean war situation, so he still decided to lead these two warships to the sea outside Yuanshan.

The calm sea made all the Japanese sailors relieved. As long as they could get close to Yuanshan Port, even if they fired a few shots, it would be regarded as a relief for the army. But just as they were about to arrive at Yuanshan Port, a rapid gunfire suddenly made all the soldiers nervous.

Yamamoto Quanbingwei hurriedly raised his telescope to see, but when he saw the two sides in the battle clearly, he almost fell from the flying bridge, because the two cruisers chasing around a Russian torpedo ship in the distance actually hung the navy flag unique to the empire!

In the lens, the Russian torpedo ship began to accelerate wildly to the south. Just as it was about to run out of the range of the cruiser, suddenly a torpedo ship with the same flag rushed out of the coastline, but strangely, the torpedo ship that rushed out from behind seemed to be aggressive, but after firing a few shots Unexpectedly, he stopped chasing. Instead, he took a big circle and returned to the cruiser to be on guard.

This scene suddenly made him smell strange, and quickly looked at the leisurely cruiser. After he saw the appearance of the two cruisers clearly, his eyes were bloodshot and his hair stood up.

Because these two are the small cruisers of the Pacific Fleet, Sky and Sea!

From the defeat, Yamamoto Quanbingwei vowed to completely destroy the Pacific Fleet, so in the past two years, he not only led the newly recruited sailors to train hard, but also worked hard to get photos of each warship of the Pacific Fleet, all of which were pasted on the wall of Yokosuka's office, and they had to look at two every day. Eyes.

So when he calmed down from the horror of discovering his own fleet, he immediately recognized the two cruisers, but he didn't understand why the damn Pacific Army wanted to fly the navy flag to attack the Russian [***] ship? Is it possible that the Pacific Army is going to land in North Korea, so they sent a cruiser disguised as a Japanese warship to explore the way?!

At the thought of this, Yamamoto's soldiers and soldiers suddenly felt cold. Although the attention of the Russians turned to the Chinese's Lushun at this moment, if the Pacific Army suddenly intervened in North Korea at this time, the army on the Korean battlefield would undoubtedly face the pressure of fighting on two fronts!

However, this idea had just come up, but it was denied by him. Generally speaking, if the Pacific Army wants to attack North Korea, the best way is to join hands with Russia to share interests. However, at this moment, their attack on the Russian [***] ship is undoubtedly offending the other party. Although they disguised as the emperor's [***] ship, there is nothing in the world. If the wind-permeable wall is known by the Russians, it is not wise to face Russia at the same time, and the Pacific Army will never make such a low-level mistake.

So why on earth did they attack the Russians disguised as cruisers of the Empire?

Yamamoto Quanbingwei put down the telescope, pinched the railing with both hands, and his eyes were quietly locked on the warships on the horizon. An idea suddenly surged from his mind, as unstoppable as the tide of hitting the ship at this moment!

Baga!

They are ready to deal with the Russian Far East Fleet!

They deliberately pretended to be the Japanese warship to attack the Russian [***] ship, and may be ready to shell Yuanshan Port in a while, so that the Russian fleet will definitely return to Yuanshan. If someone is ambush halfway at that time?!

Thinking of this, Yamamoto Quan Bingwei seemed to feel that there was an electric current suddenly coming up from his spine, which made his whole body tremble.

These unremeasured China people, are they crazy? That's a fleet bigger than them! ——

"Report, direction 270, found two Japanese cruisers!"

Xiao Tianzhi lay on the nautical map, holding a magnifying glass, and his fingers extended outward from the waters near Yuanshan Port. When he stopped at Andong Port, which is currently secretly controlled by the Pacific Army, he just stopped, and the voice of the adjutant came to his ear.

The news made him excited. He quickly grabbed the telescope from the staff and looked east. He saw that two cruisers flying the Japanese flag were slowly approaching. After seeing each other, his face became extremely wonderful.

He just pretended to be someone else and ran away from the Russian destroyer and was ready to start shelling Yuanshan Port. The main owner came over there. Didn't Li Gui meet Li Kui?

"Why don't you kill it?" Xiao Zhitian glanced at the two cruisers, touched his chin, compared his strength at this moment, and quickly gave up the idea. Although he was sure to defeat the other party, he was not sure of annihilarating them all of them. Moreover, the Russians were fat. At this moment, I can count as a chicken rib at most. In order to lose the fat in order to lose the bone, the Pacific ship No one in the team wants to do it!

"Flag language, the Pacific Fleet is on a mission, get out of here!" Xiao Zhitian waved his hand angrily and asked the correspondent to be responsible for contacting him.

The communication officer was speechless and wanted to tell the captain that we were still flying the Japanese flag, but after moving his mouth, he still chose to give up. As for the staff and adjutant in the corner next to them, they laughed a lot after hearing the order.

But the intern captains and intern staff officers who have just been transferred have opened their mouths. The captain is too awesome. He said that at least I still have two cruisers. Whether it is firepower or tonnage, they are not weaker than the patrol at this moment.

The flag waved over and over again. In the distance, the young sailors on the cruiser turned green when they saw the flag. The shameless Pacific Fleet actually pretended to be the Empire to come here to fish in troubled waters. Not only did they shell the Russian [***] ship, but more importantly, they also hung the flag of the Imperial Navy. It's done!

The most infuriating thing is that they even arrogantly let their true fleet get out of here! It's really bullying!

The soldiers' faces are green, and those young staff officers and officers are even more black and purple. They have seen arrogant people, and they have never seen such arrogant people. Isn't this deliberately hit people in the face? Although I don't know what the Pacific Fleet is doing here, judging from the fact that they fly the imperial flag, there must be nothing good! No one would have thought that not long after they came out, they were ready to find an opportunity to sink a few Russian transport ships, and this kind of thing happened!

"Let's go to war!"

When the staff saw that there were only two protective cruisers and two destroyers on the other side, they suggested a war and taught the Pacific Fleet a lesson. But Yamamoto Quan Bingwei shook his head. Although the two fleets were not much different, compared with the veterans of the Pacific Fleet, his men were too young. Moreover, he was not sure to eat each other. Instead of letting the Pacific Fleet find an excuse to restart the war, no matter how difficult it was, he must endure it!

And if the Pacific Army really goes hand in hand with the Russian fleet, it is also a great blessing for the empire. If they can wait until they lose both sides and take the opportunity to sink one or two warships of the Pacific Fleet, then!

"Turn around and get out of here!"

Thinking of this, although Yamamoto Quan Bingwei gritted his teeth at the other party with the Japanese flag in his heart, he still gave the order to retreat.

Seeing the two Japanese cruisers slowly leaving, Xiao Zhitian drew his middle finger a few times and turned his head to the intern officers and said, "Remember, no matter when and where, in the face of competitors, we must try our best to attack each other, even if it is momentum, we must overwhelm each other, so that they will bury their psychology in the future war. The shadow!"

"Yes."

When the interns saw that the two Japanese cruisers were driven away by Xiao Zhitian in a few words, they immediately saw stars in their admiration. They straightened their chests and raised their heads and answered loudly.

The staff was still a little worried. Seeing that the main fleet was about to arrive, if I was peeping around at this time and leaked my whereabouts, it would be very troublesome, so I immediately suggested, "Captain, do you want to send someone to stare at it?"

Xiao Zhitian thought for a thought, agreed to the staff's suggestion, and immediately let the destroyer follow to prevent him from revealing the purpose of his trip. Then he took the two cruisers along the coastline and swaggered all the way to Yuanshan Port.

In less than a while, there was a rumble of gunfire in the direction of Yuanshan Port. Yamamoto Quan Bingwei put down his binoculars and looked at the torpedo ship that was approaching and had changed back the flag of the Pacific Fleet. He walked towards the bridge with a pale face, but he did not find the young officers around him standing one by one. Looking at the arrogant torpedo ship following closely from left to right, his face was also bright and dark with his opponent swaying left and right.

There is only one thought left in everyone's mind.

"Is the colonel afraid?"
