Eliminate! Hirahachiro Togo's fist hit the copper tube heavily and roared angrily. What the opponent lacks in front of him is the last and most violent round of artillery fire. Hurry up and kill the damn Zhiyuan! So that his Langsu, which is also covered in bruises, can catch up with the large army. Hurry up and kill the damn Zhiyuan! If the great god Amaterasu favors him, Dingyuan and Zhenyuan may be able to die at his own hands! Hurry up and kill the damn Zhiyuan! Hirahachiro Togo can never forget his shame. The Kitty Eagle died at the hands of this ship. This is a shame. The shame can only be cleaned with the blood of the enemy!

At this moment, he suddenly discovered the problem. On the sea level in the north, a huge black cloud formed a line, pressing towards the south.

No... Zhenyuan! Jiyuan! Jingyuan! Come to Yuan! Pingyuan! Super brave! Showing power! This is the main force of the damn Chinese! No, what about Dingyuan?

Behind the eight main battleships, there were more than ten small auxiliary ships and more than twenty warships, slowly pressing towards one side. Togo Hirahachiro was a little confused.

"Hurry and send a signal to the main fleet, the main force of the enemy is here, and the main force of the enemy is here!" Dongxiang roared in anger.

"Hey! But Colonel...", the communication soldier with a morose face said bitterly: "They have long been unable to see!"

"Transfer! Get out!" Hirahachiro Togo kicked the poor child over with one kick.

The lonely Langsu was facing a decision. In his west, there were army warriors who were happily landing and eight merchant ships with no combat capability. Those army had reason to be happy because ahead of them, there was no expected line of defense of the Qing army Yuan Shikai's troops.

But Hirahachiro Togo had no reason to be happy. Judging from the distance, in just ten minutes, these poor children would be shrouded in the range of the naval guns of the main fleet of the Qing army.

Dongxiang has never been so panicked or depressed. Looking up, the lonely signal soldiers on the bridge were signaling to the east in vain: the main fleet of the Qing army is here, and the main fleet is here. Over and over again.

Looking down, the naval soldiers who had lost their hope of survival inspired their fighting spirit, loading, firing, and repeating their actions mechanically, even the interest of looking up at the point of bounce was desirable.

"Your Excellency Colonel..." Dongxiang looked up and saw that it was the monk Mori Yoshi who was imprisoned in Beijing together. He nodded silently and said, "You are here."

Monk Sen smiled bitterly and said, "Children, please order to leave the formation. We can no longer fight."

A torpedo came through the waves, and the white waves looked like the smile of the god of death, and opened their hideous faces towards Hirahachiro Togo.

"No!" Dongxiang pulled Monsoon Shin-roku away and shouted at the copper tube: "Right full rudder! Target, China Fleet! Cover the landing fleet! Go! " Monsoon Shin-roku looked at his commander and was shocked.

"Give it to you!" Dongxiang pulled out his command knife, his eyes red, and shouted to the north.

The Langsu barely avoided the torpedo. The Langsu, which had a maximum speed of 19 knots, rushed towards the main Qing army fleet that was pouring fire in the landing field in the north!

"No!" Monk Mori Yoshiro was angry, madman! Madman! Never die with this madman!

Hirahachiro Togo was surprised to find that his ship was not going straight to the north as he imagined, but turned the bow of the ship and fled to the southeast in a panic! The chief of the engine changed his order without authorization! He was angry. After a roar, he found that several naval soldiers were pointing at him with guns.

At the same time, Lin Taizeng and Lang Weili on the Zhenyuan ship were studying a telegram, which was sent from Seoul.

"Let the Japanese go ashore! This edict is urgent! Yuan." Yuan is Yuan Shikai, why would the above edict instruct the navy to release the Japanese? Langweili, like Lin Taizeng, was confused.

"No matter what, since the edict is like this, the emperor will naturally have the emperor's considerations. We are ministers, so we will follow the order." Lin Tai once put down the telegram and looked at Lang Weili. He respected this old man more than Liu Buchan.

Lang Weili kept closing his eyes, muttering something on his lips, as if he was calculating something. After a long time, he opened his eyes and smiled slightly, put the message back on the table and said, "Yes, please pass on the mission to Admiral Lin, and the entire fleet will go east and meet with Dingyuan!"

"So, what about Zhiyuan?" Lin Tai once knew that Deng Shichang was not in good condition.

"Take Zhiyuan and send a message to Weihai Port. The Guangdong Fleet's support will all ships that can fight will set sail to attack Nagasaki Port. If you call your military headquarters, you will say that the Navy will never be humiliated and please the Army to land in Nagasaki!"

In this battle, the navy was the main force, and the army was only a cooperation. However, if such a telegram was sent, the navy would be successful and not defeated. The new army of Shandong was originally going to be the main battlefield in North Korea. Now it crossed the Japanese Sea and landed in Nagasaki. The army's plan would have to be revised. Lin Tai had been a little hesitant.

"Is it a respectful invitation?" Lang Willie smiled and said, "Although I am a British, I believe that no matter whether I am a British or a Chinese, as long as I am a soldier, I will have a spirit of adventure. If North Korea sends the Japanese army ashore, I will probably know what your command is. Don't worry, the main battlefield of this war must not be in North Korea."

Lin Taizhang thought about it and finally raised his hand.

On the afternoon of May 18, 1894, the Dingyuan ship completed the mission of shelling Hakodate and set off for a return flight. The message I just received was that the Japanese main fleet was rushing towards the Tsuga Strait, so Liu Buchan decisively chose Ojiri Island as a temporary haven and made a decision with Lang Weili and others through telegrams. The main force of the fleet gave up the port of berth that night and rushed directly to Hakodate, and more torpedo boats were used to harass the operation of the torpedo boats. All the combatants were all sleeping, and the airships were used as combat readiness warning.

After the Japanese standing fleet was lost on the front line of Tsukuk, it would definitely be stationed in the local area because it was already night. Since it was unable to contact the Japanese army of North Korea, it would definitely go straight to Motoyama the next day, or return to Nagasaki to organize a second round of landings.

Therefore, the decisive battle will definitely start tomorrow. Liu Buchan's gambling was the entire world defending the west side of Matsumaki City on the Tsingu Peninsula, and raiding the enemy with a small number of torpedo boats all night, making it impossible for them to rest. Early the next morning, as long as they leave the port, they must pass Matsumaki! Because they can't afford to lose, even if they know there is an ambush outside, they have to bite the bullet and break out. Although they can go out from the strait from the east and go back to Nagasaki, Hakodate cannot be lost. Once the situation in Hokkaido is over, the navy cannot bear this responsibility!

Will win!

"This place name is also very auspicious. Songqian, isn't it just a gift?" The sun has set on the ocean near the island west of Songqian, and the remaining fiery red burned the entire sea level to a red color. Lin Tai once said to Langweili: "There is almost the front of Songqian. North is Ojiri Island. Admiral Liu will meet us soon."

Lang Weili nodded and said, "We have the lead. Do you know Lin? I have built a small reconnaissance airship and tied it to the back deck. They will play a big role tomorrow."

Lin Taizhe looked at the smiling foreigner in surprise. He admired the foreigner more and more. Due to the flight range restrictions, the airship took off from North Korea can only reach Nagasaki at most, and it is impossible to fly so far. Just now he was worried that if the airship had not supported the airship's aerial vision, the war might not be so smooth. Now this foreigner has done it!

Next to the tail cannon on the rear deck was indeed a small airship, with a simple metal skeleton and skin, and a radio station and a seat in the cabin. That's all. Even so, Lin Tai once saw it, and was excited to hug the lovely British man.

Lang Willie smiled and hugged Lin Taizeng, raised his hand to point to Lu Di in the east and said, "That year I asked you to shell Nagasaki. I really didn't expect that you finally listened to me eight years later."

"Yes. It really takes eight years." Lin Taizeng smiled and said with a little vicissitudes: "The Chinese are restrained and not as decisive as you British. Eight years later, our emperor gave us such courage. Of course, I would also like to thank you, Admiral Lang. Without you, there would be no Qing navy."

"Oh, it's great..." Lang Weili smiled and spread his hands and said, "If this sentence was told to me by His Majesty the Emperor of Your Country, it would be better."

The two laughed together.

The huge figure of the Dingyuan ship was coming from the north and meeting with the main fleet. At this point, the main forces of the Royal Navy were gathered here. In the east, which is not too far away, it seems that the main forces of the Japanese standing fleet could be seen.

The battle sequence of both sides:

The Royal Navy of the Qing Dynasty: the main iron-clad ships: Dingyuan, Zhenyuan. The main ships: Jiyuan, Zhiyuan, Jingyuan, Laiyuan, Jingyuan, Pingyuan, Chaoyong, Yangwei. Auxiliary ships: torpedo boats, supply ships, and more than ten coal-carrying ships.

The Imperial Japanese Navy: Main Iron-clad ships: Yamato, Emperor. Main battleships: Matsushima, Itsujima, Hashita, Takachiho, Akitsushi, Chiyoda. Auxiliary ships: nearly ten torpedo boats, supply ships, etc.

The number of main ships on both sides is 10:8, and the tonnage is basically the same, and the firepower is almost the same. Japan even has a geographical advantage. The only difference is that one is with eyes open and the other is blind.

The sun is gradually setting.

The ocean near Okujiri, the Royal Navy Fleet, before the next day's sea battle came, no one could pass the existence of this fleet to Hakodate's standing fleet command center in time.

Hakodate, this is not an excellent military port, and there is no natural advantage to rely on defense.
