"God, are they crazy? They actually want to use their lives to make a joke, and use their lives in exchange for the possibility of sinking us?" The officer of the British observation team watched this scene, and then said in shock. ●⌒Novel,

And Yuheng Ito also felt hairy all over his body. These Taiwanese destroyers are really crazy, and they haven't given up fighting at this time. They actually came desperately, and they really rushed up. Although destroyers are the so-called battleships that can be used to fight big with small boats through torpedoes, they don't have to be so desperate! Although it is possible to make a big fortune with a small amount, it does not mean sacrificing oneself in exchange for the possibility with a very low probability. And now these Taiwanese navy are actually using such a desperate method in exchange for the possibility of their victory this time, which makes Ito Youheng also feel scared. Although the day the destroyer was invented, it was to be able to use a large number of small boats to make a big difference, but it has never been so desperate. Willing to use his own life to fight desperately, this kind of bayonet fighting at sea is completely a joke with his own life.

"Is it the **** navy? Are you so rogue?"

Ito Yuheng really wanted to yell, which completely violated the basic laws of naval warfare. This way of directly rushing up to fight with you, this is completely changing your name with your life. It is almost the same as those armies. You are completely exchanging your own life for those victories.

"My God! This is actually a Chinese army. Are they so desperate for victory?" asked the British observation team.

Although many destroyers failed to reach the Japanese battleships at all, they were immediately sunk by various enemy artillery. But there are still many destroyers who have come to fight desperately. Obviously they don't intend to let these Japanese battleships go, and then they plan to use their lives in exchange for the possibility of these battleships sinking.

At this moment, Ito Yuheng remembered that a few years ago, during the Sino-Japanese War, he was also in this Dadonggou naval battle. He remembered the naval battle six years ago, and he was also in command. To be honest, the quality of the navy of the Qing Dynasty was actually higher than that of the current navy. In the Beiyang Navy back then, most of the officers went to study in the UK, and the soldiers were also trained by British officers as coaches. Their quality is very good, and the current Taiwan Navy is actually trained by itself. Everything is made from scratch. Therefore, the quality of the current Taiwan Navy is actually more advanced than the Beiyang Navy of the year except for weapons and equipment, but it is relatively poor in terms of combat literacy.

However, a few years ago, Ito Youheng could not forget at all. When the Zhiyuan was fighting to the end, the Zhiyuan did not choose to retreat, but took the initiative to rush towards the Japanese battleship Yoshino. Although Deng Shichang failed, he left a deep impression on Yuheng Ito. And Deng Shichang, in Ito Yuheng's heart, is the deepest memory. Although Deng Shichang failed back then, Yuheng Ito had an idea, that is, if every Chinese can work so hard, can Japan conquer China?

Although Liu Buchan, Lin Zengtai, Ding Ruchang, and Yang Yonglin also chose to commit suicide back then, Yuheng Ito looked down on these suicides very much. Because suicide does not mean bravery, many times suicide is just to avoid responsibility. suicide. In fact, it is a cowardly expression. He would rather choose to end his own life than to fight the enemy desperately. Under the persecution of the Japanese, Ding Ruchang chose to commit suicide and refused to surrender. Yang Yonglin chose to commit suicide, and he was unwilling to participate in the surrender. But they didn't think about it at all, why didn't they lead the last remnants of the defeated generals to fight to the death? Since everyone is going to die, is it better to die on the battlefield than to commit suicide? They chose to commit suicide instead of dying desperately, and the gap between the two is huge. Suicide is merely an act of cowardice to avoid responsibility, while dying with all one's might represents the brave.

There is only one cowardly country. It will encourage suicide and martyrdom. Suicide and martyrdom are actually those rulers who hope that the people would rather die than rebel, and encourage the people to be cowards. Would rather commit suicide than dare to resist, this is not a coward. This is in line with the ruler's thinking. And even if he died desperately, although he would die in the end, it represented his bravery, and it represented that he was not a coward, but a true warrior. So Yuheng Ito looked down on those generals of the Beiyang Navy who committed suicide, although perhaps the Qing Dynasty admired them very much. But Yuheng Ito still looked down on them, because they would rather commit suicide than die bravely in battle, they are cowards who evade responsibility. They are not even as good as those who leave their temporary lives and continue to work hard to prepare for future rebellion. Although some people live on and do not choose to commit suicide, but they are willing to continue to work hard in the future, and then avenge the shame of the country. Although they may not dare to die, they have not shirked their responsibilities. Suicide is just a way of avoiding responsibility, not a real warrior. No matter whether you save your life for the time being and live to do your best for the country in the future, or die on the spot, you are all warriors. But committing suicide, on the contrary, is an out-and-out coward, and Ito Youheng despises such a person.

However, he comforted himself that there is only one Deng Shichang in this world, not all China is Deng Shichang. Because of the decadent rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, China has lost its martial spirit. When foreign enemies invade, many officials may choose to commit suicide, but they dare not take their subordinates to fight the enemy desperately. They would rather choose to commit suicide, and they are not willing to kill one with the enemy, kill two to earn one. This is actually the biggest manifestation of China's loss of martial spirit. A cowardly nation would rather choose to end its own life than dare to fight the enemy.

But now, Yuheng Ito actually saw countless "Deng Shichang" and was willing to take the initiative to fight with them. Even though they knew that the probability of success was very low, they all did it without hesitation. The firepower of the battleship is very powerful, which cannot be resisted by ordinary destroyers. But they still came up desperately, and did not escape. This made Ito Yuheng really scared. He was never afraid of the disparity in strength when he faced the Beiyang Navy, but now he is really scared.

"Boom—"

"Commander, the battleship Asahi among us was hit by a torpedo. It has started flooding, and they say there is no need to rescue it."

"I see!" Ito Yuheng said.

"General, why do you..."

Those staff officers felt that Yuheng Ito's attitude was too indifferent. It seems that he doesn't care about the battleship, but seems to be absent-minded.

"Your Excellency, Commander, why are you absent-minded? These Chinese destroyers have already lost a lot. They now have less than 40 Chinese destroyers, and they have lost more than 30 destroyers."

However, Yuheng Ito shook his head and said, "We lost this time!"

"Excuse me, Commander, we haven't lost. We still have six battleships. The Chinese navy is not our opponent!" the staff officer said immediately.

"Even if we win this time, we will definitely lose in the future! Anyway, this time I will just obey the fate and do my best." Ito Yuheng said a cruel sentence, but everyone didn't know what it meant.

Although the remaining destroyers are still fighting desperately with the Japanese battleships, there is no battleship that can continue to hit the Japanese battleships. Taiwan's sailors paid the price of more than forty destroyers, but they only lost one Japanese battleship. The loss of Taiwan's sailors is no less than 800 people, and the number of sailors on a Japanese battleship is only more than 400, so the loss from the sailors is not as great as Taiwan's. In terms of the tonnage of warships, China's losses are even greater. The total tonnage of more than 40 destroyers has reached more than 30,000 tons, and the battleship is only about 10,000 tons. So this time, no matter how you look at it, it is a loss. business.

Sa Zhenbing saw the loss of more than 40 destroyers under his command~lightnovelpub.net~ and then smiled wryly: "Why bother? Even if the battleships of Japanese pirates and our battleships are in a decisive battle, we may not lose! Why do you bother?" To make such a sacrifice in exchange for a chance of winning by just a tiny bit?"

"Lord Sa, we can't afford to lose this time! This time, it's a battle that concerns our hopes for China's rise. We can't afford to lose, we can't lose, even if we sacrifice all our navy here this time, we can't afford to lose." To win. Even if we fight our lives, we must win this war. We Chinese are not cowards who can be slaughtered. We must fight the enemy desperately even if we die. As long as there is any increase in victory, then We all have to work hard, even if it costs us our lives."

Sa Zhenbing actually felt that he was "old", because most of the officers of these destroyers were graduates of the Taiwan Naval Academy. They are all people who have been gradually promoted in recent years. What they have received is the spiritual education of dedicating themselves to the country and fighting the enemy to the end. That's why they value righteousness and despise life so much, and are willing to use their lives to exchange for a higher possibility of victory. They once again fought off a Japanese battleship, so that the next battleship is more likely to win.

When the Japanese saw this scene, the morale of the Japanese sailors dropped sharply. They may have looked at the Taiwanese navy, and they all showed expressions of fear. (To be continued.) SJGSF0916
