Chapter 426 Chapter 426
It was three days later that Kazuo Mirage led the fleet and escorted the mirage transport ship that was about to land on the island for reinforcements and arrived at the sea off Dongwan Island.

Because he lost contact, he has already judged that the East Bay City is in danger.But he still did not retreat, but led the fleet to continue towards Dongwan City.

According to his idea, he planned to force the army to rush to the Dongwan Port pier after severely injuring the enemy fleet in the open sea, and take back Dongwan City.

He is still very confident about this: on the one hand, his naval fleet is large enough, and on the other hand, the army he escorts is also elite.

Mirage's naval fleet includes 15 paddle steamers—a formidable force in the western part of the Great Sea that is hard to ignore.

In addition, he still has 30 sailing warships, and some armed merchant ships that make up for it. With such a huge fleet, Kazuo Mirage doesn't believe that he will lose.

As long as he defeats the enemy's sea fleet, he can suppress the harbor with naval guns and send soldiers ashore.

The soldiers he transported were all equipped with Cyric 1 bolt-action rifles, the elite of the mirage army's elite.

Once these troops go ashore, their combat capabilities will naturally be much better than the second-rate troops equipped with Cyric flintlock guns.Taking back the port is not a problem at all, they can even go south to defeat the enemy and take back Dongwan Island!

It is precisely because of this certainty that Kazuo Mirage will lead the fleet and continue to advance south even though it is known that Dongwan Port is occupied by the enemy.

Soon, they arrived at the sea off Dongwan Port, and then they saw a weak enemy fleet—the Datang Group's fleet was lying across the sea, and it seemed that the number was not large, only three, three, and six warships. .

But the speed of these warships was very fast. Before the Phantom Navy fleet approached, the warships of the Datang Group did not retreat but approached, showing a desperate posture.

Mirage didn't back down either. He actually had plans to contribute to the battle. He was overjoyed when he saw that the enemy fleet didn't run away. The two armies immediately formed their respective formations on the sea.

Bernard put down the binoculars in his hand, looked at the adjutant beside him, and ordered: "Keep the fleet parallel to the enemy! All side artillery is loaded! Fire at a distance of 2 kilometers! Need to care about hit rate."

"Understood!" The adjutant stood at attention and saluted, and then immediately passed orders to the ships. With a single command, the entire fleet turned and aimed its sideways at the enemy fleet in the distance.

Afterwards, all the turrets on the side began to rotate, and a slender 150mm cannon turned the muzzle of the black hole to the direction of the enemy.

In the early morning of the 12th day of the Dongwan Island landing battle, the naval fleets of both sides engaged in the first large-scale steam-powered battleship naval battle in human history off the coast of Dongwan Port, known as the Great Battle of Dongwan in history.

The Wolf No. 3 ship headed by the Datang Group fleet opened fire first, and the six side guns fired a salvo, directly hitting the enemy sailboat two kilometers away.

Only one round of bombardment destroyed two sailing warships, and suddenly disrupted the formation of the mirage navy fleet that was trying to come to melee.

In order to avoid the two sailing warships that caught fire and sank, the mirage navy fleet had to turn again, and the speed was also affected.

Ever since, the Datang Group naval fleet, which has an absolute advantage in speed, began to cut into the enemy's T prefix, and the distance between the two sides has been kept at about 2 kilometers.

After Kazuo Mirage discovered that the enemy fleet was traveling at a high speed, he immediately changed his tactics. He ordered the fleet to turn north and form a circular formation, trying to cover each other and avoid being cut into the favorable position of the fleet's T prefix by the enemy.

Accompanied by the chaotic change of formation, the battleship Wolf 4 of the Datang Navy found the right opportunity to open fire. Six artillery salvos fired, hitting two sail warships again, directly sinking these war slags equipped with front-loading guns.

The Phantom Navy began to fall into chaos. The captains of the wooden sailing warships, which were slow in speed, big in target, and not very strong, already regretted coming to such a sad place.

Mirage Kazuo finally realized that the opponent's warship was much more powerful than his own paddle steamer, and the mirage fleet stationed on Dongwan Island was not a waste of money, but a real loss in battle!
After confirming this point, Kazuo Mirage has fallen into despair - he can't run away, he can't fight, it's hard to win.

What's even more tragic is that if only his fleet can't fight and the whole army is wiped out here, it's just a loss for the navy, at least he will die in peace.

But the problem is that he still has a troop carrier to transport the army!There are also elite troops of the army on it!The bolt-action rifles in the hands of these troops were all bought with real gold and silver, and they were all lost... Who will take the blame?
"General...what should I do..." The deputy general also realized the seriousness of the problem, and asked in frustration behind Kazuo Mirage.

"What else can I do? At all costs! Send the army to the pier!" The mirage, who was already red-eyed, decided to put all his eggs in one basket.

Asking him to cover the retreat of the slow-moving troop carrier was impossible, he thought to himself. In this situation, it might be the best solution to send the landing troops to the shore first.

Seeing the enemy warship firing again in the distance, and another warship on our side being shot and exploding, Kazuo Mirage became more and more anxious.

In the first place, it was the original elite of the Mirage Navy, 10 large sailing warships.Now these warships have almost been killed in the process of turning around.

If the fight continued, the main force of the Chinese army composed of 15 paddle steamers he was on would be the ones who exchanged fire directly with the opponent.

This is the rest of the mirage navy. If it is destroyed here, the mirage navy will not be able to cheer up in a short time.

In other words, the Mirage may even fail to recover - as long as the war does not end in a decent way, the Mirage will be very passive after losing its navy.

While he was standing on the side of the ship watching the enemy fleet firing non-stop in the distance, Bernard was also watching the mirage naval fleet from the bridge.

Frankly speaking, this is the most effective enemy fleet he has ever seen.The opponent quickly responded to his cut in the safest way, but the battleship was too poor to be his opponent at all.

But he didn't have any intention of holding back, kindness didn't fit his personality—so, he ordered to continue firing, let the fleet slaughter around the enemy, and prepared to wipe out this huge mirage fleet in place.

But what he didn't expect was that just when his fleet was halfway around, the opponent frantically spread out his formation, desperately preparing to entangle Bernard's fleet.

And the enemy transport fleet, which has been at the core and protected, began to rush towards the port of East Bay City recklessly.

I admit that I'm a big pig's hoof, I'm fucking thinking about 004's long legs, black stockings, and high breasts now...

The number of words is small today, because I was foolishly watching 003 for a day, um, I have been watching it until now, and suddenly there is a shock, it is dull, I don’t know why...
