Blue Star On April 10, 1866, Ding Ruchang led the Pacific Fleet and the "Jiaolong" submarine group into the Southeast Islands.
The Southeast Islands are the largest archipelago in the world. Since the end of the 18th century, the Mi people have established colonies here.
The "Warrior" fleet is currently resting in the Southeast Islands. This is a team of 200 ironclad ships and is currently recognized as the world's largest fleet.
At this time, China's Pacific Fleet consists of the "Blue Whale", the Chinese frigate, and the "Jiaolong" submarine, with a total of more than 200 ships (including 100 submarines).
Blue Star On April 15, 1866, the "Warrior" fleet group and the Pacific Fleet met near Scarborough Shoal.
China's Pacific Fleet and the "Warrior" fleet ironclads formed a spectacular scene. These steel behemoths shined in the sun and were majestic.
These more than 300 ironclad ships stand like steel fortresses on the sea.
The "Warrior" fleet is equipped with artillery and weapons that the great powers consider to be the most advanced at the moment. The Pacific Fleet mainly consists of Chinese field artillery.
On the decks of these ships, all the soldiers were ready to go and looked solemn.
In the sky, seagulls hovered over the fleet, as if they were also shocked by this magnificent scene.
The waves rolled around the ship, lapping and roaring against the hull, adding a touch of movement to the spectacular sight.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
Ding Ruchang directed the soldiers on the deck of the "Blue Whale" to operate the main turret, prepare to recharge and aim, and at the same time signaled that the submarines behind him should all sink and quietly approach the enemy.
"8,000 yards away from the enemy ship!"
The lookout soldiers began to count.
Jack, the commander of the "Warrior" fleet, does not take the Chinese fleet seriously at all, because the "Warrior" fleet has a large numerical advantage.
"Has China's fleet lost its mind? 100 armored ships dare to fight us."
Jack was joking with the soldiers on the deck.
"According to this situation, we will be able to annihilate China's Pacific Fleet in less than half a day."
At this moment, the figure of the "Blue Whale" was looming in the heavy fog.
"Sir, why did a small island appear behind the Chinese fleet?"
The soldiers on deck alerted Jack.
Jack took out his binoculars and took a look!
"Oh my God, that's a giant ironclad ship!"
Jack exclaimed.
The turrets on the ship made Jack feel a little chilled. Such a big cannon had no idea how powerful it was.
However, remembering that he had such a huge numerical advantage, Jack did not put the "Blue Whale" on him.
"Notify all members to go around to both sides of the Chinese fleet, fill up the cannons, find the correct position, and prepare to sink the entire Chinese fleet."
After hearing the order, the flag bearer of the Mizi country immediately waved the flag to convey the military order.
boom! boom! boom!
The "Jiaolong" quietly approached the "Warrior" fleet, and then launched a sudden attack.
The launch of torpedoes will cause shocks on the sea surface, set off huge waves, and overturn the arrogance of the "Warrior" fleet.
"what's the situation!"
"Where did the shells come from!"
Amid Jack's surprise, several ironclads were sunk.
"It's a torpedo! This thing was also used during the Free Civil War, and there was a submarine underneath!"
Jack's lieutenant shouted.
He originally thought he was here to torture Cai, but then he realized that Cai was actually him, and Jack's heart was half cold.
Submarines like this have no natural enemies in the sea and can travel freely. As long as they surface, others can't do anything to you.
The "Jiaolong" is like an assassin in the dark, cold and precise, constantly looking for opportunities to attack. Each attack triggered panic and confusion on the Warrior.
At this time, the Pacific Fleet also began to attack. The artillery fire was like rain, the sound of artillery was rumbling, and the waves on the sea were shaking.
The main gun on the "Blue Whale" completely shocked the Navy of the United States. It can be said that one gun and one ship.
The "Warrior" was crumbling under the gunfire, but still stubbornly resisted the attack.
"All officers stick to their posts and reload artillery shells to fight back!"
Jack's legs were shaking and his ears kept buzzing.
As night falls, the battle on the sea is still fierce.
The "Warrior" fleet was exhausted, but still unwilling to give up and continued fighting on the sea.
Finally, the "Blue Whale"'s heavy artillery accurately hit the deck of the "Warrior", and then a huge explosion occurred.
The hull of the "Warrior" tilted instantly and sank to the bottom of the sea amid a fire.
The sound of the explosion gradually became smaller and smaller until it disappeared, and the wreckage of the American fleet was everywhere on the sea.
The Pacific Fleet finally defeated the "Warrior" fleet, which was known as the world's number one, and the strength of the Chinese navy instantly rose to the number one in the world.
Ding Ruchang finally washed away the humiliation of the Yellow Sea Battle and avenged those sacrificed comrades.
With the destruction of the "Warrior" fleet, the American defenders in Macheng, Yacheng, and Sri City on the Southeast Islands were in trouble. Without supplies at sea, they could not last long.
Blue Star On April 20, 1866, in order to solve the supply problem, the American Navy hung the Chinese flag on the supply warship and asked everyone not to appear on the deck.
When the supply ship passed through the Maliu Strait, a magical scene happened.
The army of the Mi Zi State was demoralized by Zeng Guofan's troops and was in urgent need of a victory to boost morale. The Mi Zi Country also urgently needed a victory to boost the morale of the people.
Suddenly, I saw a Chinese supply ship passing through the Maliu Strait in the distance.
At that time, Stephen, the commander of the American Army, was also curious as to why the Chinese fleet was coming from this direction. However, it was too late to think about it at this time. If he hit it, he would make a profit.
The American Army has been looked down upon by the Navy for many years. Stephen thought, now he can finally feel proud. Our Army can do what your "Warrior" fleet cannot do.
Notify all gunners to aim at the enemy.
"Fire now!"
With a loud bang, the supply ship was quickly sunk before the navy in the ship had time to come forward to see the situation.
The US navy on the ship was also confused, thinking, could it be that Macheng was occupied so quickly.
The monarch of Mizi Kingdom soon received the news that the army had achieved a great victory.
The Army Signal Corps is reporting to the American Army: The Army has achieved a great victory, sinking many Chinese warships in the Maliu Strait, and achieving a great victory.
At this time, the naval communications force also came in and conveyed bad news: the disguised Chinese supply ship was sunk in the Maliu Strait.
The two communications soldiers looked at each other.
The three people at the scene quickly figured out what was going on, and the navy signal corps almost had a fight with the army signal corps.
The king of the rice-shaped country looked confused...
