Zhu Chao accompanied me to watch short videos

tomorrow.

Zhu Di sighed helplessly. Even though he did not know the outcome of the battle in advance, he knew just by looking at the data that the battle was already lost.

He was considered one of the earliest experts in artillery, and he knew that for artillery, caliber was justice and rate of fire was reason.

It is not easy to dare to draw swords and bravely meet the enemy despite such a huge difference in equipment.

He was able to analyze the situation calmly, but the "hot-tempered brother" Zhu Gaoxu on the side couldn't hold back.

Looking at the Beiyang Fleet's "bang~~~~bang~~~~bang!" and the Japanese fleet's "bang bang bang bang!" on the screen, he angrily slammed the table.

"Dad! When I go to fight the Japanese, you must transfer all the artillery of the Shenji Battalion to me. I want to make them feel the pain of being bombarded!"

What are you giving your father?

Although he thought so in his heart, Zhu Di replied without hesitation: "No problem, you can take whatever you want when the time comes."

……

[Due to the difference in firepower between the two sides, the two wooden ships, "Chaoyong" and "Yangwei", were sunk after only ten minutes of fighting. The Japanese-Benz fleet took the opportunity to use its speed and firepower advantages to surround the Beiyang Fleet, causing the battle situation to take a sharp turn for the worse. In the subsequent battle, the Dingyuan ship was penetrated and caught fire, temporarily losing its combat effectiveness.]

[The Japanese fleet, upon seeing this, concentrated their fire on the Dingyuan, attempting to sink it.]

[At the critical moment, the Zhiyuan rushed to the Japanese ship "Yoshino" to protect the Dingyuan. Unfortunately, it was hit and sank. Captain Deng Shichang sank with the ship and died a heroic death! There were more than 250 people on board, but only 7 survived in the end! ]

In the picture, the air was filled with smoke and the sound of artillery fire. Deng Shichang stood on the already dilapidated and bullet-riddled deck, his face covered in blood, and looked at the Yoshino with a firm and tragic look in his eyes.

"Raise the charge flag! Move at full speed! Sink the Yoshino!" Deng Shichang roared with hatred, his voice full of rage and courage.

As Deng Shichang finished speaking, the Zhiyuan ship, like a wounded beast, let out its final roar and rushed towards the Yoshino ship at full speed.

At this moment, everyone on the boat had firm eyes, without any wavering. All they had was love for their country and the land behind them.

Die for your country!

Never live in disgrace!

At this moment, the waves seemed to be making way for the heroic feat. The waves parted before their firm steps, and the splashing water droplets seemed to be a final farewell to these brave men.

However, fate always seems to be unfavorable to heroes. With a deafening bang, the Zhiyuan was hit by a torpedo, causing a violent explosion. Everyone on the ship could only watch the Yoshino escape.

Deng Shichang's figure in the firelight looked particularly tragic. He let the flames devour his body, but he seemed to be completely unaware. His eyes were fixed on the Yoshino ship that was moving farther and farther away. The tears on his face were both his reluctance to fail to complete his mission and his regret for not being able to sacrifice his life for his country.

Finally, his body gradually sank into the cold sea along with the Zhiyuan...

——"Today the whole world is shedding tears, and you have made the navy more powerful!"

——"When I was a child, my school organized me to watch a movie about the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and I have never dared to watch it a second time."

——"Although his body is dead, his soul still exists! His death defended the dignity of the country and demonstrated the indomitable spirit of our Chinese nation!"

——"China is always short of such tough guys!"

——"The ships may burn to ashes, but the patriotic passion of the Chinese people will never burn out!"

[After the Zhiyuan sank, the Jiyuan and Guangjia fled from the battlefield, and other warships also evacuated for various reasons. Only the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan were left in the entire fleet, fighting desperately against the enemy, enduring the artillery attack while firing back.]

[After the two sides fought for another two or three hours, the Japanese-Benz fleet saw that they could not take the city and feared that they would be attacked by torpedo boats at night, so they had no choice but to withdraw.]

"Phew! It's okay, it's okay."

Seeing this, Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief. According to the picture on the sky curtain, although the Beiyang Fleet suffered heavy losses, the Japanese also suffered heavy casualties, which showed that both sides still had the strength to fight.

As long as we advance steadily and with the cooperation of the army, even if we lose, it won't be a disastrous defeat.

Zhu Gaochi seemed to see what Zhu Di was thinking and broke his fantasy: "Dad, the Treaty of Shimonoseki signed after the defeat cost us 200 million taels of silver. It can't be just a small defeat."

After being reminded by Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Di also reacted and his expression instantly turned from sunny to gloomy.

It seems... this battle is far from over.

Sure enough, the sky screen continued to play.

[Both sides suffered losses in the Battle of Dadonggou. Although five ships of the Beiyang Fleet were sunk and Admiral Ding Ruchang was seriously injured, the two main ships "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" were not seriously damaged and their combat effectiveness remained.]

[However, after this battle, due to the internal party struggles and rampant corruption in the Qing Dynasty, the repair and reconstruction of the Beiyang Fleet progressed very slowly. Li Hongzhang even strictly ordered Ding Ruchang not to go out to sea to fight in order to preserve the strength of the fleet.]

——"Li Hongzhang has a say in the court mainly because he controls the Beiyang Navy. If the navy is destroyed, his political career will be over."

[On the other hand, Japan had sufficient military funds and had made preparations in advance, so it quickly repaired its warships and sailed towards Qing Dynasty waters again.]

[Because of the orders of Li Hongzhang and the imperial court, the Beiyang Fleet could only hide in the harbor and watch the Japanese fleet act recklessly at its doorstep.]

【The Japanese army saw through the Qing Dynasty's cowardice and decisively divided its troops into two routes to launch an offensive. One route of the Japanese army set out from Pyongyang and marched straight to the Yalu River. After fighting with 30,000 Qing troops for several days, they successfully broke through the Yalu River defense line.】

——"Alas, this battle could have been fought, but the Qing army fought on their own. When they saw a position was lost, they all ran away immediately. The Japanese didn't spend much effort."

[Another group of Japanese troops landed by sea and quickly moved south, capturing Jinzhou, Dalian and other places. They carried out a brutal massacre in Lushun, killing more than 20,000 people in the city. Only a few people escaped the Japanese army's butcher knife.]

——"It's a small life, I'm cnm!"

——"Wow, finally someone mentioned our Alshun. Everyone in the world knows about the hatred in Jinling, but no one knows about our Alshun's tears!"

——"How come no one knows this? It's in the textbook!"

——"During my great grandfather's generation, their village was also massacred by the people. Later, it became a mass grave. When I was a child, I saw the monument there. He told me the names one by one. This one was his father, that one was his mother, and that one was his eldest brother. I was still young at the time and I only remember that he sat there and cried for a long time."

——"I just came out of the tomb of Wanzhong from Lushun. I can feel the despair and pain of those people through the paintings. Mothers are separated from their children, and children are separated from their mothers. The day is dark and the cries are bitter..."

——"I just came out of the 731 Crime Evidence Exhibition Hall, and the words of the tour guide touched my tears: Keep moving forward, don't look back, there is light at the exit! There are fireworks on earth! There is peace and prosperity for the country! Don't forget that the road you came from was filled with national suffering! There were national hatreds and family feuds!"

——"Can revenge be taken after nine generations? Even after a hundred generations!"
