As the " Yangwu " was used as a supply cruiser, the French warships took special care of it. The rapid-fire cannons constantly attacked the " Yangwu " ship. After several shells hit, the " Yangwu " ship caught fire.
Zhang Cheng hurriedly ran over to command the soldiers to put out the fire. A cannonball exploded beside him. At this moment, he felt a violent shaking under his feet. A huge heat wave rose, and his entire body was thrown into the river. His entire body was covered in blood.
The moment he fell into the water, he saw several torpedo-boats surrounding him from his blurry vision.
"Boom! Boom!"
An even more intense explosion sounded. The other boats also launched their torpedoes. Yang Wuhao, who had been shot multiple times, had no way to dodge.
After barely turning its head, the Yangwu warship was hit by a torpedo. A huge hole appeared on the side of the bow, and a large amount of seawater began to pour in. After a while, it tilted.
The slowly tilting Yangwu warship was still firing non-stop. As it was about to flip over, they did not care about the heat dissipation at all.
The cannons exploded violently due to the overheated barrels, causing a series of explosions.
These people could have chosen to escape, but none of them chose to jump off the ship.
"The ship is here! The ship is dead!"
The few remaining soldiers waved their flags and slowly sank into the cold sea.
At this point, it seemed that all the soldiers on Yang Wu had been killed.
After Yang Wu sank, the command flag was raised on the gunboat Ji 'an, and it took over the heavy responsibility.
The cannons rumbled, and the Fujian Navy was at a complete disadvantage. The coastal defense artillery could not match the warships of the French army. In order to protect the shipyard, the Fujian Navy could not retreat into the effective range of the coastal defense artillery.
"We can't go on like this. Our Starship is small! There was no way to engage in a protracted war with the enemy! Do you dare to attack the enemy's flagship with me?”
Gao Yuanzheng's eyes were bloodshot when he saw the sinking of the Yangwu. He stood on the bridge of the Lucky Star and said to the officers and soldiers behind him as he looked at the unfavorable situation.
"I serve Wei! Die without regrets!"
"Do it! I've been waiting for this day!"
The marine soldiers responded, they had already put their lives aside.
"Good! Good!
"A real man should die to serve his country!”
Gao Yuanzheng laughed heartily and jumped into the cockpit. He personally steered the Lucky Star towards the gradually retreating French army's flagship, Volda.
"Stop him! Stop him!“
"Torpedo boat! This group of monkeys had gone crazy!“
Seeing the Lucky Star charging straight at him, Gu Ba was also scared to death. He quickly commanded the Volda to turn around and enter the rear of the fleet.
If they were allowed to charge into the French army, they would not fire their cannons for fear of accidental injuries and could only rely on the torpedoes. Lucky Star was just a small boat of more than 200 tons. It didn't have a deep draft, so it was hard for torpedoes to hit it.
Fortunately, the Durjutsu Ruin was blocking the Lucky Star with a full left helm.
The Dujutu Duyin opened fire, and all the main cannons and secondary cannons were aimed at one side. Lucky Star bombarded.
"Rumble!"
With a loud bang, a six-inch cannon finally hit the Lucky Star.
Gao Yuanzheng felt a chill on his back. He wiped his hand behind him, and his entire palm was covered in blood and flesh. Gao Yuanzheng slowly fell to the ground, and his hands slid off the steering wheel weakly.
The Lucky Star barely managed to move forward for dozens of meters before sinking.
"These people are real soldiers! The water gave them the courage to fight to the death!“
Seeing that the Lucky Star had been sunk, Gu Ba finally heaved a sigh of relief. He couldn't understand why the flagship didn't order this small boat to launch a suicide attack. Why did he rush up on his own?
At least, the French army could not do it.
During the war, in order to focus on attacking the Fujian Navy's flagship, the Yangwu, the French army had to attack the enemy.
The Triumph, the Volda, the Dujutuyin, and a few torpedoes and gunboats were deployed near Yangwu.
And the two cruisers, Feller and Desdan, were dealing with the three thousand-ton gunboats, Feiyun, Ji 'an, and Fubo.
The two cruisers began to approach the ship, but the Desdan was hit by a cannonball and slowed down. The decrease in speed made it easy for them to target the ship.
At this moment, Flying Cloud, Ji 'an, and Fubo formed a semicircle and surrounded the Desdan.
The Desdan was a wooden cruiser, unlike the Triumph, which was made of steel. He was in a very sorry state after being surrounded.
"To rescue the Desdan."
Gu Ba immediately commanded the Felius, and Triumph moved closer. The Felius itself was not far from the Desdan, so it quickly accelerated and rushed forward.
"Boom! Boom!“
However, it was too late. The three ships fired at the same time, and two shells hit the water line of the Desdan.
The wooden shell couldn't withstand it at all, and two holes several meters wide were blasted open. Cold seawater poured in to extinguish the fire in the holes, but it also declared the sinking of the Desdan.
