The cold wind swept across the dock, and the Yellow Dragon Flag fluttered loudly.
Yang Yonglin's standing figure was deeply imprinted in the minds of the soldiers at this moment.
"If Yang Junmen doesn't surrender, my Wang Guocheng won't surrender either!”
"I, Li Shimao, won't surrender either!"
Wang Guocheng and Li Shimao, the first-class sailors of the Jiyuan warship who had shot and injured the Japanese warship in the Battle of Fengdao, stood up. They had tears in their eyes and clenched their fists.
They looked at Yang Yonglin as if there was a ball of fire burning in their chests.
After the two of them, many other veterans stood up.
These veterans had dedicated their youth to the Beiyang Navy and were unwilling to let such a fleet that once dominated Asia be wiped out.
Even if he had to fight to the last drop of blood, he would live and die with them!
Wasn't Yang Junmen there?
If he, the commander of the left wing, isn't afraid of death, what should I be afraid of?
The navy soldiers stood out one by one!
In the end, the Kangji warship practiced the ship's control. Sa Zhenbing, who had defended the Japanese fort for several days, squeezed to the front of the crowd and shouted.
"Yang Junmen, Sa Zhenbing is here, willing to follow the army to kill the enemy!”
"I'm willing to follow the army and kill the enemy!"
Over three hundred men roared in unison, their roars as loud as the sea.
The sound of waves and wind mixed together, like a tragic battle song.
"Good! You are all hot-blooded men of Huaxia.”Yang Yonglin praised, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Without soldiers who fought to the death, even the most advanced warships would be useless.
Of course, some of the surrenders stood still. American consultant Howie shouted,""General Yang, what are you going to use to fight the Japanese Combined Fleet? Your broken ironclads?”
The stiff Chinese mixed with the mockery of the surrendering party made the hearts of many of the soldiers who were fighting for the war sink.
After all, the navy was a technical branch of the military. Currently, the Beiyang Navy only had four damaged warships, Zhenyuan, Jiyuan, Pingyuan, and Guangbing. What could they use to fight the Japanese?
"I have a Faraway Suppression Ship!"
Yang Yonglin banged on the porthole and shouted.
"Haha!"
"Your Zhenyuan warship is riddled with injuries. The moment it leaves the harbor, it will be sunk by the Japanese warships. Yang, surrender is the only way out. You have no right to interfere with our choice-"
Bang!
A gunshot pierced through the night sky, and the American consultant Hao Wei fell to the ground, clutching his chest.
Yang Yonglin blew away the smoke from the muzzle and sneered,"Those who surrender again will be killed!"
As soon as the word " kill " was uttered, the dark night sky seemed to press down, and the surrendering party could not help but tremble.
Yang Yonglin had killed three people without even frowning. He wanted to use iron-blooded methods to tell all the soldiers that only a fight to the death would lead to a way out!
No one dared to say the word " surrender ", but there were still quite a number of people who surrendered crying.
"The ship is seriously damaged and is about to sink. Yang Junmen, what are you going to use to fight the Japanese?”One of the surrendering sergeants had tears streaming down his face.
His words echoed the thoughts of most of the surrenders!
"Who said the ship is sinking?"
Yang Yonglin roared and turned on the searchlight.
Under the light, everyone could clearly see the ship in front of them and exclaimed.
"Is this a 150mm large-caliber Hatchkaiser rapid-fire cannon?”
"The main cannon is equipped with an automatic reset device and a high-power cannon range finder?”
First-class Seaman Wang Guocheng, Li Shimao, and the others could not help but exclaim!
The blood of the 300 navy main battle soldiers on the deck was boiling. The spectators on the dock were so shocked that their mouths were wide open as they looked at this scene in disbelief.
The originally bullet-riddled and heavily damaged ship was completely renewed. It still stood proudly on the coast of the East Sea, silently guarding this sacred sea.
"The ship has been repaired? How is this possible?”
" Not only has it been repaired, but the fire control system is even more powerful than before. It has also been installed with 15 Hutch Rapid-Fire Cannons, with a maximum firing rate of 12 rounds per minute."
"Yang Junmen, how did you do it?”
Facing the surprised gazes of the officers and soldiers, Yang Yonglin took a deep breath and said in a clear voice,""Last night, I dreamt that Mazu visited me in a dream. I repaired the battleship according to her instructions.”
This was also an excuse that he had no choice!
He couldn't possibly say that he was a transmigrator who had repaired the ship with the help of the weapon modification system and obtained a large number of Flower Cannons and Rapid-Fire Cannons, could he?
Fortunately, most of the Beiyang Navy officers were from Fujian and Guangdong, so they did not delve too deeply into this statement.
"Mazu, bless our Northern Navy!”
Yang Yonglin took this opportunity to roar at the dark night sky. This roar ignited the fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers.
"Mazu, bless our Northern Navy!”
The soldiers 'blood boiled as they roared at the dark night sky.
"Everyone!"
Yang Yonglin waved his hand, and the main battle officers and soldiers of the Zhenyuan warship quieted down.
"Since Mazu has appeared, our Northern Navy will definitely regain its glory! Everyone, please return to your battle positions and familiarize yourself with the operation of the new weapons. Tomorrow morning, we will fight to the death with the Japanese fleet!”
"Don't worry, we will fight to the death and never retreat!”
All the officers and soldiers on the Zhenyuan warship were in high spirits. Yang Yonglin did not stay idle that night.
Previously, in order to persuade the Northern Navy Admiral Ding Ruchang to surrender, Ito had specially given them one day. This meant that the latest was the 18th of the first month (February 18th, 1895), and the Japanese Combined Fleet would launch a final attack without mercy.
Yang Yonglin had to use this day to urge the soldiers to prepare for battle.
