Chapter 784: The Bombing of Tokyo

When he couldn't get the news of the attack fleet, Liu Jun was worried in his heart, and he was not at ease. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Has Zhong Lin come back?" Liu Jun, who lowered his head and pondered, asked Zheng Yiqian beside him,

Zhong Lin, yesterday afternoon, was already waiting in the telegraph room, waiting for the telegram.

Not coming back, that is to prove that the attack fleet is not yet safe.

Hey, they shouldn't have been allowed to go. After sighing again, Liu Jun collapsed on the chair.

In a daze, Liu Jun heard Zhong Lin's voice, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Zhong Lin was indeed in front of him.

It doesn't seem to be good news, seeing a trace of paleness on Zhong Lin's face, Liu Jun suddenly sighed in his heart.

"Head, a telegram from Lee He." Before Zhong Lin finished speaking, Liu Jun waved his hand directly: "Say it." What's going on? After speaking, Liu Jun took a deep breath and asked.

It's not a big deal, Zhong Lin picked up the telegram and looked at it: "Head, Li He called, they encountered a storm and lost five torpedo cruisers. ”

"Are there any losses to the rest, have they gotten out of the storm now?" Liu Jun doesn't care about these five cruisers, after all, there are more torpedo cruisers in Liaodong now, and he doesn't care about these few, what he is worried about is those armored cruisers, after all, the Fujian Navy Division finally got up, don't let this storm and then lie down.

Fortunately, in Zhong Lin's report, only one armored cruiser was slightly damaged, and although the rest disappeared for several hours, they all returned safely later.

It's good to be safe, it's good to be safe, Liu Jun, who listened to the news, took a deep breath, as long as the attack fleet is safe, then the rest of the things are easy to say.

"What else do they have to say?" After looking down and thinking for a few moments, Liu Jun asked again.

Seeing Zhong Lin shaking his head, Liu Jun understood that it was the original plan, and it was carried out as it was.

Woowoo...... Woowoo...... A long whistle sounded, followed by a signal flag on the Hongzhang mast that began to roll up and down.

It's only 30 nautical miles from Tokyo, and it's only about two hours away from such a short distance. At this time, Li He's fleet was adjusted, and he tried to open fire as soon as he arrived in Tokyo, so as to catch him off guard first.

"Commander, everything is ready." Inside the Hongzhang Commander Tower, Yan Fu walked in and handed a document in his hand to Li He.

Originally, it only took more than two days to get from Yunhe to Dabantu, but this time, it actually took five days, and now, the fleet has finally arrived here.

Now that it has been arranged, then everything else is easy to say, Li He, who nodded, stood up, he wanted to take a good rest, and then enjoy this scene well. A scene of the shelling of Tokyo.

Tokyo, shore defense battery. Although the original shelling did not cause much damage to the shore defense turrets, there was always a loss of several guns, which were just purchased from the British, but now, they have become scrap metal.

Bang Bang Bang ..... Slapping the gun position that had already left the chamber, the commander of the coastal defense, Fujita Akira, sighed helplessly, he was the commander of the coastal defense after the original Tokyo bombardment, and as for the original commander of the coastal defense, he had been executed by order of the then Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi.

There are not enough shells and troops, and he does not know if the Liaodong Army attacks from here in the future. Can you resist it?

Whoa..... After the sea breeze drifts away in the distance. A dark cloud emerged from the northwest.

No, the storm just passed over there, why did it come from that side again, mom, Fujita Zhang, who felt that something was wrong, picked up the telescope hanging in front of his chest.

Strange, gray clouds, it looks like it's going to rain.

No, no, this seems to be soot, and Fujita Akira felt trembling when he thought of this. Then he held the telescope up again and looked motionless into the distance.

Half an hour later, with a click, the telescope in Akira Fujita's hand fell to the ground at once. He clearly saw that a large number of warships appeared under those dark clouds, and the yellow dragon flag was hanging on the masts of those warships.

The Yellow Dragon Banner, that is the flag of the Liaodong Fleet, if these flags appear, it proves that the Liaodong Fleet is here today to find fault, no, it is here to rub itself.

Ya Ga Ya Road, knowing that he couldn't beat it, Fujita Akira had to give orders. Prepare the turrets for battle.

Whether the turret can withstand the opponent or not is another matter, and now, it is better to take one step at a time.

Rumble..... An hour later, before the Liaodong Navy had entered the firing range, the Japanese troops in the coastal defense batteries had already taken the lead in firing.

It's over. Hearing this cannon sound, Fujita Akira sat helplessly on the ammunition box of the bunker. There are still three or four nautical miles away before the cannon is fired, and it is conceivable that these soldiers have been frightened by the Liaodong Navy.

It seems that there is no one in Japan, and when he saw the water columns more than ten meters high three or four nautical miles away in the distance, Li He shook his head helplessly.

In the past, Li He also regarded the Japanese coastal defense battery as an opponent, but judging from today's performance, tsk, this Japanese shore battery is not worthy of being his opponent.

"Commander, they're not crazy, are they?" Pointing to the water column in the distance. Yan Fu said with a look of disbelief, and there will be no such big mistake as there is no shore defense battery.

Scared, purely frightened, this time off, his own fleet is arrogant everywhere in the vicinity of Japan. The Japanese coastal defense battery was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, and his whole body was tense, and now, this tense nerve was finally suddenly opened by himself, and after this opening, it was normal for such a mistake to occur.

"Ignore them, let the fleet reach the designated position, first shell the Japanese batteries, and then shell the city of Tokyo." After speaking, Li He had no interest in this kind of attack without any suspense, but turned around and walked out. Enter the Command Tower.

Li He went in, it didn't mean that there would be no one to attack the Japanese battery, Yang Yonglin on the side could only take his place after seeing Li He enter, and began to slow down the ships and mobilize the artillery.

Bang Bang Bang ....... Bang Bang Bang ....... The guns on the side chords of the warship began to show their eerie muzzles, and the largest guns located in the bow of the ship. Also at the same time to prepare everything.

With a clang, the huge cannonball was loaded. The gunners in the turret were wide-eyed as they saw that the mast had pricked up their ears and waited for the order to attack.

On one side, the surrounding gunners were quietly waiting for Li He, and even Hongzhang's orders. (To be continued.) )
