The weakness of the imperial court in the Sino-French World War I was destroyed by Zuo Zongtang’s ten years’ achievements. Now the Fujian navy has died in name only, and it is only a dozen dilapidated and backward ships. In the past 30 years, few new warships have been purchased.
On the ninth day of the sixth lunar month, the "color" has not yet brightened up, and now the defense of Mawei Military Port has begun to tighten up. Yuan Shikai has "drawn" off the "elite" soldiers to protect Fujian and preside over Fujian defense generals. Yuan Shikai officially trusted Zhian Zhao.
Mawei Harbor is even more guarded by Gaby, Neue Wache day and night.
At this time, the watchtower, the Qing army, and then the lighthouse lights saw the distant distance, and a number of warships appeared.
One, two, three …
My god, there are more than a dozen ships!
Two Qing soldiers were so scared that they almost "peed" and "pants". The enemy attack must have been an enemy attack. When so many warships came at this time, it must have been the Chinese Republic of China fleet. Without him, the fleet would have come to Mawei at this time!
A leader roared, "Hurry up and put a flare immediately! Something’s wrong!"
Soon, a number of flares roared sharply into the sky and lit up a lot of days!
The whole Mawei military port was in chaos. The Fujian navy fleet in the military post is now on alert day and night, and dare not relax. After receiving the signal, the ship rushed out of Mawei military port to prepare for the surrounding battery, and the Qing army immediately took action to prepare for the battle!
From afar, it was Liu Yan toad who led the Chinese naval fleet!
Liu Yan toad looked at the signal flare in the sky and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Liu Yan-chan shouted, "Make the fleet of Zheng He’s base point line up in a wild goose formation and prepare for battle!"
Thirteen main warships immediately launched a formation.
At this time, Fujian Navy has also rushed to the periphery of Mawei Harbor, and more than ten warships lined up in formation and rushed towards the Chinese naval fleet.
Liu Yan toad shouted, "Order to fire!"
Behind the Zhenghe ship, the Baoding ship Jiangning ship took the lead in firing’ the door’, and the 215 mm Krupp heavy artillery fired instantly, and the shells drew a beautiful arc and pounced on the Fujian Navy!
Fujian navy is old-fashioned, with only two armored warships, and Beiyang navy bought warships together, which is already very old.
Facing the sharp artillery of the Chinese fleet, they seem to be so at a loss to help.
It’s the same 13 warships, but there are already 100 shells in the formation of Fujian Navy, and Fujian Navy has only fired more than 20 shells. The speed of artillery firing alone is far from the speed of Chinese fleet rivals, let alone the power of shells.
Just at the beginning of the "hand in hand", two warships of Fujian Navy were hit by several heavy guns on the deck. With the explosion, huge smoke and fire went up into the sky, and the two warships lost their combat effectiveness instantly!
Meng Xianghai, the commander of Fujian Navy, was scared to death. When did the navy of the Republic of China become so powerful?
Meng Xianghai roared, "Let the army fight and attack!"
Fujian navy warships will never dare to attack in the same place again, and all the departments will start to try to reduce the accuracy of shells. But even so, there is nothing compared with the speed. The speed of 14 knots in front of the Chinese naval fleet of the Republic of China is snail-like!
Liu Yan toad commanded 13 warships to start sprinting. They didn’t shell at all. Facing the wooden warships, they could directly sink the Fujian Navy warships with heavy armor and were unscathed!
This is that the strength gap is only over two hours. The Fujian Navy is either surrounded by divisions or directly sunk. It’s too bad that the Fujian Navy can maintain its combat power. There are only six warships left!
Meng Xianghai’s face is pale. Is this still a fleet? Is this still a Chinese fleet? That is, the British Imperial Navy is so much!
Meng Xianghai roared, "Withdraw the order and immediately evacuate to Mawei Harbor. Hurry up and evacuate. It’s too late. * * * * * We have to sink into the sea to feed the fish!"
The remaining warships began to flee in panic and fled back to Mawei Harbor in a panic!
At this time, thirteen warships of the Chinese fleet swaggered back and forth like giant sharks, and several warships sailed directly to the military port and began to shoot shells at the shore!
As the distance pressed into the battery near Mawei, it also began to fight back, and the two sides launched a fierce battle on the sea surface of Mawei Harbor!
From Lebanon to sunset, the Chinese fleet fired three or four thousand shells at the Mawei military port. The whole Mawei was in a sea of fire, and twelve forts had been destroyed by the fleet. The Qing army was also frightened and too powerful. The naval firepower of the Chinese Republic of China was too powerful!
The defenders of Mawei have begun to show faint signs of collapse, and they can’t stand it. Even if they tried their best to build a battery, they were blown up. How can we fight this battle?
At this time, Zhian Zhao led the new army of the tenth town to gallop all the way to support Zhian Zhao’s strict constraints and barely held the Mawei military port
The two sides were followed by another big war, which lasted until the night when the results were brilliant, and Liu Yan toad made the return voyage ready for another day!
Thirteen warships slowly withdrew towards the northeast.
After the first world war, Zhian Zhao really saw the strong strength of the Republic of China, which does not belong to the strength of western powers!
Fujian navy has really lost its fighting power after this World War I, leaving only five warships and two battered forts, four of which were destroyed by heavy artillery of other people’s fleets, and the rest of which were damaged to some extent. At least nearly a thousand people were killed and hundreds injured!
On the other hand, after a whole day’s fighting, the Chinese fleet was able to retreat from its own home, and its shells fell on its warships. Even its armor couldn’t be rooted, just to tickle people. How many doors can Krupp heavy artillery imported from Germany pose a threat to people? He can’t even stand the table!
Zhian Zhao wiped his brain’ door’ sweat and shouted, "Send a message to Yuan Daren quickly!" say
Chapter nine hundred and forty-seven Worry about each other
Liu Yan-chan, the Chinese fleet, led the vast "swinging" and "swinging" back to Kaohsiung Port. It was only a hundred kilometers from Mawei to Kaohsiung, and the fleet could arrive in less than three hours.
After a whole day’s war, there are not many shells on each warship, so we must return to the home port and add more shells. As a result, the Chinese fleet was bombarded by more shells, and some minor injuries occurred, but it still did not damage the overall combat power. There was no damage to the new ship root in Utah.
When we arrived at Kaohsiung Naval Base, Yang Lin and Xu Shuzheng hurried out to meet us.
Xu Shuzheng asked, "How was President Liu’s first battle today?"
Liu Yan-chan smiled proudly and said, "Brother Zheng wiped out the Fujian Navy in Mawei Harbor in World War I today, and only four or five Qing warships were hit hard and fled back to the military port. Then the main force of our fleet besieged Mawei military port, and the garrison’ excited’ battle destroyed several Qing military batteries, which dampened the enemy’s spirit until the night when Fujian Governor Zhian Zhao led a new army to help our army and withdrew because of insufficient ammunition!"
Xu Shuzheng asked exultantly, "Chief, do you think if we have another battle one day, can we land directly from Mawei with Mawei Harbor?"
Liu Yan-chan shook her head and replied, "It’s impossible. Although our army won a big victory, it was because it was difficult for them to fight independently in the face of the defenders of Mawei Fort. But now Zhian Zhao personally led the new army in the tenth town and it has arrived. Even if we attack by force, it is difficult to resist the other side. It is difficult to get a ponytail only by relying on the main force of the fleet!"
Xu Shuzheng couldn’t help but feel discouraged and said, "Alas, I was happy for nothing. It seems that I still have to attack at night and love."
Liu Yan toad nodded and said, "Take a night off today, and make the base replenish the fleet overnight. At noon, we will continue to fight from noon until the early morning of the day after tomorrow, and we will continue to maintain a large-scale attack to attract the attention of the new army in the tenth town nearby! In the second half of the night, Zheng He’s Hangzhou escorted the troop carrier to Shenxian Bay to land on the beach. This battle may be successful and must not fail! "
Xu Shuzheng nodded and said, "Well, all our heavy weapons have been loaded with troop carriers with 10,000 troops. We can board the troop carriers to go to Shenxian Bay at any time!"
Liu Yan toad’s eyes flashed and said, "Don’t push the whole Seventh Division to Taiwan Province. We should also leave some troops here. Brother Huai Jin means that you should leave a regiment to protect Kaohsiung Port. Kaohsiung Port is our top priority. The whole naval southern operation needs Kaohsiung’s support. There can’t be any mistakes here!"
Xu Shuzheng pie pie said, "Chief Xiang, we now have three divisions in Taiwan Province. Even the seventh division has two divisions. That Zhang Lin is not trying to save the oil lamp. I am afraid that no force around us has such strong sea power!"
Liu Yan toad’s face’ color’ sank and said, "Don’t underestimate your enemy. We are soldiers who are familiar with military affairs, but we don’t know anything about politics. There is absolutely no mistake in your words. Be careful that your seventh division will deal with the new army in the tenth town nearby once it is ashore. Isn’t that as simple as playing with children? Are you still afraid of capsizing in the ditch? "
Xu Shuzheng cried what’s the hurry to deal with a town with a total of only fifteen thousand people. The seventh division of the Qing army will also capsize in the’ Yin’ ditch, and it is better to jump directly into the Minjiang River and drown!
Xu Shuzheng cried, "President Liu, I, Xu Shuzheng, have never known what fear is since the day of joining the army! It’s not a big war, that is, at the end of the day. These people are all holding their breath and going to have a big fight. Who do you think I should let stay at this point? Anyone who receives such an order will have to turn against me! "
Liu Yan toad nai smiled and said, "are you the only one facing such a problem? Don’t others face such a problem?" A soldier must obey orders. If he can’t do this, he is not a qualified soldier, let alone a qualified officer. Do you want such officers in the Ministry? Yang Tonghuai and Xu Zhian are rare talents in the Chinese navy. Which one is not like fire? Which one is not coming to Taiwan Province? Don’t stay in Qingdao honestly? "
Xu Shuzheng was silent, and Liu Yan toad said, Yes, since the chief has such considerations, he must leave a regiment. Which regiment should he leave? Oh, what a headache! “
The headache is not only Xu Shuzheng, but also Yang Zhian. In just one day, Fujian Navy let people break up. Twelve forts are also scarred. The whole ponytail is full of sorrow. How can we fight this battle?
Just now, Yang Zhian also received Yuan Shikai’s reply. Although Yuan Shikai encouraged Yang Zhian, he didn’t reply to the reinforcements. Now the front line of Qinhuai is more intense, and the whole Qing court forces are more nervous. The’ elite’ soldiers have been transferred to the front line. Where can reinforcements be sent?
The only good thing about Yang Zhi’s first shock of peace of mind is that Yuan Shikai personally sent a telegram telling Yang Zhi that if it is impossible for Fujian to lose its defense, then it will ensure that the strength will retreat towards Jiangxi. Yuan Shikai will never hold him responsible for losing his land. He must be careful not to let the Chinese revolutionary army succeed easily!
"* * * * * Fight!"
Yang Zhi thought silently in peace of mind that Yuan Daren even said such words. If he is timid, it would be too sorry for his old man’s house.
Isn’t it the Chinese revolutionary army and the Chinese fleet? Anyway, their fleet can’t board the shore, and they can’t do anything about it.
Yang Zhi’s mind is steady, and he has begun to deploy the natural defense. Now he needs to defend the key ponytail, but it doesn’t mean that he should be more careful when he is insured!
Two cooperative forces were left near Mawei, Yang Zhian, and the thirty-third cooperative was sent to his strategic position to defend, and all the departments kept in touch with the line platform. There was no way without the line platform, which meant that the opportunity was lost everywhere, and there was no way to fight this battle.
Yang Zhian arranged all the precautions. It was three or four o’clock in the middle of the night before he fell asleep.
The next day, we will face a new war. How can we do it without raising our’ fine’ strength? say
Chapter nine hundred and forty Make a comeback
The next afternoon.
The Chinese fleet has once again made a comeback.
Thirteen warships lined up and started another attack.
This time, Liu Yan toad adjusted his tactics not to carry out a surface attack, but to arrange all the warships in an arc shape on the periphery of the fort on the north shore of Yunan, and 13 warships "fired" at the fort on the north shore of Mawei.
One, all the pressure departments pressed the North Shore Fortress, five Fortresses on the North Shore, and the tenth town new army, together with a heavy artillery force, were still suppressed by the Chinese fleet.
Yang Zhian headquarters was in a hurry to jump straight * *’ mixed’ eggs. This Liu Yan toad is so insignificant. Yesterday, it was a face attack, but today it was changed to a key attack. Isn’t this a bully?
Yang Zhian roared, "Order all artillery battalions to move to the north shore, and send all cavalry to help move the cannon car. Get to the north shore battery as soon as possible to help!"
One side deputy control Zhang Wan drink a way: "Wait, control adults can’t help. Now the Chinese fleet department cloud can reach our south bank in less than an hour. What can we do if we transfer the second artillery to our south bank once they turn their heads?" Without the help of the second association, we can never keep the south bank battery group with only four batteries! "
