Chapter 177 Sakura's First Great Victory
Ito couldn't wait to share his achievements with the King of the Sakura Empire.
"Immediately send a telegram to the King, informing him that the first phase of the plan has been successfully completed and that we have completely destroyed the enemy's warships. Next, I will rush to Dongjing to provide support."
The telegraph operator sent it off quickly.
Ito also began to check his own battle damage, and 60 warships suffered varying degrees of damage.
Fortunately, none of them were fatal.
Fifty warships were sunk!
Five warships have lost their combat capability and must return for repairs.
The number of casualties reached about 5.
There were only about 430 ships left that could continue fighting.
Ito felt heavy in his heart: "We should be thankful that the enemy is so few in number, otherwise this would be an extremely difficult battle."
No, he did not underestimate the Ghost Fleet because of this great victory. After this battle, he understood something very scary.
He knew that if the fleet had equal strength, it would definitely not be a match for the Ghost Fleet.
"Clean up the battlefield quickly and have someone scout the nearby sea area to see if there are any more enemies."
Ito quickly gave orders, requiring him to regroup as soon as possible.
At the same time, the king of the Sakura Empire has fled to a safe place and received information from Ito.
This exciting news was immediately announced to the whole country.
It is broadcast simultaneously across the country via television and radio.
At this time, many people in the entire Sakura Empire were basically watching the radio or television to know the latest war situation.
Countless people were very anxious and eager to hear the news of their victory.
The news of the complete destruction of Ye Daofu's warships greatly boosted the morale of the people.
These people jumped up excitedly, yelling at the top of their lungs to vent their excitement.
"I knew we could defeat these invaders!"
Some people excitedly hugged those around them and said, "I was very worried when I heard they were going to attack coastal cities because I live in a coastal city. Now it's okay, they are not invincible."
"I heard that it was Ito Sosei who personally took action to destroy the enemy warships this time. He truly deserves to be called the number one war god at sea!"
"If our country had a few more outstanding heroes like Ito, we would be able to easily wipe out these invaders!"
"Long live the Sakura Empire!"
This news soon reached Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the commander-in-chief of the Tokugawa guerrillas.
"Good!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi slammed the table with joy. This news came at the right time for him. He was fighting hard with Qi Jiming and was being pressed step by step by the Suning Legion. The more he fought, the more he retreated, and the casualties became more and more serious.
The other side also had naval artillery support, so he was in an extremely passive position.
So far, the death toll of his men has exceeded 4.
It's only been one day of fighting, and there have been such high casualties.
"Once Ito comes to support us, we can destroy their naval support and bombard them from the sea at the same time."
"As long as we hold on for two hours, we will definitely win this battle!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi believed it firmly.
Adjutant Akita-kun excitedly said, "Sir, I'll immediately inform the brothers below of this news. As long as they know that victory is within their grasp in two more hours, they will surely unleash their incredible fighting spirit and hold their ground to the bitter end!"
"Alright!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi relaxed and straightened his back. "Hurry up and notify all the troops. Use the loudspeaker to tell our enemies that their end is near. Tell them to surrender as soon as possible!"
