"God has given us such a great gift. If we don't eat it, wouldn't we be sorry to God, and we won't give him face?"
"Order the fleet to control the distance within 3 nautical miles. This time we are here to train. Give me a hard beating."
"At this distance, it is difficult for the opponent to cause much damage to us. To be careful, we should test the opponent's firepower first."
"Okay General!"
Lin Hongtao asked the flag bearer to give the order, and warships far away would also give the order through the flag bearers of other warships.
All warships continued to approach the enemy in a flying geese formation.
About 3 kilometers away, Qin Hai continued to issue orders, and the fleet seized the word "t".
At this time, Rihistev, the captain of the Vacker ship, Risistev, saw clearly the military flag on the opposite side.
"Oh, my God, Commander, look, that's the dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty."
"Such a huge Qing fleet will appear here."
"When did the Qing Dynasty have such a powerful naval fleet? It's incredible."
Alexander also saw clearly the dragon flag on the opposite side.
"Oh, although I really don't want to believe that this is the Qing Dynasty's fleet, this flag has to make me believe that this is the Qing Dynasty's fleet."
"It must be the damn British and French or the damn Prussians."
"They must be secretly building warships for the Qing Dynasty. We have no news at all about building so many armored cruisers at once. Our intelligence department is a bunch of pigs."
"Guys, move. There are ten warships opposite. We have twenty. They are armored cruisers and we are iron-clad cruisers."
"We are the great Vladivostok fleet of Tsarist Russia, and our navy has rich combat experience."
"The Qing fleet opposite is just a newborn baby, nothing to worry about."
"I am now issuing combat orders as the commander-in-chief of the Tsarist Russian Fleet in Vladivostok."
"Five gunboats attacked along the Qing's right flank, attacking their flank."
"Another five gunboats attacked along the left flank of the Qing fleet, attacking the left flank of the Qing fleet."
"There are ten main fleets left. Follow me for a frontal attack. We want to wash away the shame of the Black Sea Fleet. We want to give the Black Sea Fleet a blood pool more than ten years ago."
"More than ten years ago our sailing fleet was defeated by the British and French ironclad fleets in the Black Sea."
"Today we will use the armored fleet to defeat the armored fleet of the Qing army on the opposite side!"
"We want to prove that our Russian navy is as powerful as our army!"
"Ula!"
Risistev: "Ula!"
Others also shouted: "Ula!"
Qin Hai used his binoculars to see clearly the deployment on the other side, and then he immediately continued to give the order: "I ordered the fierce ships, brave ships, and powerful ships to attack along the left side and destroy the enemy ships on our left."
"Fist ships, rough ships, and swift ships attacked along our right flank to engage the enemy's five gunboats."
"I request that six Fierce-class cruisers quickly deal with the ten gunboats on the left and right sides of the enemy fleet."
"Then cooperate with our four 'Dingyuan' class cruisers to encircle the enemy's main fleet and destroy the enemy fleet as much as possible."
After Qin Hai gave the order, someone immediately sent it out.
After taking the order, the three warships, the fierce ship, the brave ship, and the powerful ship, quickly seized the "t" prefix on the left side.
Three warships formed a small flying geese formation.
The fierce ship is the tip of the knife, the brave ship and the fierce ship are on the left and right. Li Wu is the temporary commander of this small fleet.
The same goes for the three ships: the Fist, the Rough, and the Swift. The Swift is the tip of the sword, and the Fist and Rough are on the left and right.
Deng Shichang was the temporary commander of this small fleet.
The two fleets were very fast and quickly seized the "t".
After being under great pressure, I slowly approached and realized that the warship on the other side was really big.
The smallest warships are larger than their largest.
Especially when the other side sent six warships to deal with their gunboats.
Their gunboats are only about 500 tons, and five of them are only 2,500 tons.
A warship opposite is more than 2,500 tons.
Their five gunboats seemed to be a large number, but not enough to put a gap in the opponent's teeth.
Alexander continued to observe the main fleet on the opposite side.
Risistev: "Commander, the main warships on the opposite side are at least four thousand tons. Should we still fight?"
Alexander: "Man, this is not a question of whether we will fight or not, but whether the opponent will let us go."
"I apologize for my arrogance earlier. I think I was wrong. I shouldn't have gone to Bohai to show off."
"By the way, my man, don't forget what we have done in the Qing Dynasty in the past few days. I think they will not let us go."
"I order the ten gunboats not to confront the opposite side, but to guard our left and right sides, and not to let the opposite fleet surround us."
"We retreat while fighting, and don't get too close to the Korean Peninsula. North Korea is a client of the Qing Dynasty, and their coastal defense artillery may pose a threat to us."
"We will go around the Korean Peninsula first south, then north, and return to our base in Vladivostok."
Resistev nodded and sent Alexander's order.
The gunboats on both sides did not continue to confront the opposite cruiser head-on. They tried their best to avoid the enemy fleet.
Li Wu saw that the other side stopped advancing and began to fight guerrillas with them.
Li Wu: "Hahaha, Tsarist Russia on the other side wants to fight guerrillas with us. They have to outrun us."
The first mate on the side said: "They are inferior to us in terms of speed and cannon range. We completely defeat them."
"That's what I'm saying. I'm giving orders to Li Jin and Li Mu not to rush, but to fight steadily. The general said that we are only here to train our troops this time."
"I don't want such a good warship like ours to be damaged by the other side."
"It's hard for the general to explain to the governor when he returns."
"Okay Captain."
Deng Shichang gave the same order to Li Shui and Li Huo. He didn't ask for much credit, he just came out to train troops and protect himself. There was no need to fight hard.
It would be funny if a college student fights an elementary school student.
Tsarist Russia began to concentrate its forces to break out.
Qin Hai on the Dingyuan ship asked someone to send a signal to the other side.
"You have entered the Daqing Sea and caused serious damage to our territory. We are the Daqing Navy under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Liangjiang."
"We are now officially notifying you that we will carry out a devastating blow to you!"
He is murderous and heart-wrenching.
After the semaphore, the attack was ordered.
The Dingyuan ship took the lead in attacking and fired two shells at the opposite flagship.
The Zhenyuan, Laiyuan, and Zhiyuan ships followed suit and fired artillery.
Alexander didn't expect the opponent's range to be so far.
This was three nautical miles away. The opponent was fast and had fierce firepower. He was getting more and more worried.
Six warships including the Fierce Ship also arrived at the designated area and began to attack.
The Bohai Sea ushered in the first attack of the Qing Beiyang Navy.
Tsarist Russia's Vladivostok fleet could only be passively beaten.
The Qing Dynasty are all outside their effective range.
This makes them fight, and their fleet is going south this time to show off its power.
