A short story of gratitude to the motherland

1September, 894 17 In the Dadonggou naval battle, Deng Shichang commanded Zhiyuan Ship to fight bravely. Later, under the siege of Japanese ships, Zhiyuan was injured in many places, and the whole ship caught fire and the hull tilted. Deng Shichang encouraged the officers and men of the whole ship to say, "Our people joined the army to defend our country, so we put our lives at risk. Today's business is only death! " "Japanese ships rely on Yoshino, and sinking this ship is enough to make people breathless." They resolutely sailed the ship to the starboard side of the Japanese capital ship "Yoshino" at full speed, determined to end up with the enemy. The officers and men of the Japanese ship were surprised and concentrated their artillery fire on the Zhiyuan ship. Unfortunately, a shell hit the torpedo tube of Zhiyuan ship, and the torpedo in the tube exploded and Zhiyuan ship sank. His pet dog Sun swam to his side, grabbed his arm and saved him. Deng Shichang vowed to live and die with the warship, and resolutely went into the water as a dog's head. He also sank in the waves and died heroically with more than 250 officers and men of the whole ship.
