Edit paragraph 4. Deng Shichang's patriotic story
The patriotic story of Deng Shichang's devotion to the sea has been the proud ambition of patriotic soldiers since ancient times. Especially know Deng Shichang (hands folded at the door of the ladder) on the Zhiyuan.
Those who are brave enough to go through fire and water in the face of disasters are even more admirable. Deng Shichang, who died in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, is such a person. Deng Shichang was one of the earliest naval officers in China, and the captain of beiyang fleet Zhiyuan Ship in Qing Dynasty. He has a strong patriotism and often says to soldiers, "Who died? I hope we die well and die well! " 1894, Sino-Japanese War broke out. Deng Shichang has said many times: If I meet a Japanese ship at sea and encounter danger, I will sink with it! One day in September this year, the Japanese fleet suddenly attacked the Chinese fleet, and a naval battle started. This is the Yellow Sea War. During the war, China's flagship was injured and its national flag was shot down. Deng Shichang immediately ordered the flag to be hoisted on his ship to attract enemy ships. The Zhiyuan ship he commanded was the most heroic in the battle. The front and rear guns volley and hit the Japanese ship again and again. Surrounded by Japanese ships, Zhiyuan was seriously injured, began to tilt, and the shells were also exhausted. Deng Shichang felt that the last moment had come, so he said to his men, "Even if you die, you must show the prestige of the China navy. It's time to serve the country! " He ordered the Japanese ship "Yoshino" to go ahead at full speed and die with it. This fearless spirit stunned the Japanese. Unfortunately, a shell hit the torpedo tube of Zhiyuan ship, and the torpedo in the tube exploded and Zhiyuan ship sank. Most of the more than 200 officers and men died. Deng Shichang fell into the sea and his entourage threw him a life buoy. He refused to pick it up. His dog "Sun" swims very fast, and grabs his clothes so that he can't sink. But when he saw that none of his men survived, he was cruel and cruel. He pushed his dog into the water and sank into the blue waves together, giving his precious life at the age of 45.
