[Happy New Year, everyone! Xiao Nian keeps changing, hehe]

There was a huge decisive battle on the Korean battlefield, the Japanese commanders and deputy commanders of the Japanese army, Yama Prefecture Youpeng and Dashan Yan thought that this was a rare opportunity, and the Japanese army was likely to turn defeat into victory, if this opportunity was missed, it would be difficult to defeat the Han army, so Shan County Youpeng and Dashan Yan unanimously decided to fight against the water, concentrate superior forces and confront the Han army, hoping that when the Han army rushed to the Japanese position, the two armies launched a positional battle, and the Japanese army could defeat the Han army.

The Japanese army has always been the army with backward equipment and backward tactics, and the Han army in Korea, under the command of Xiao Yao, used nearly 600 artillery pieces to carry out saturation artillery bombardment of Japanese positions.

The Japanese army was originally prepared to guard against the bombardment of the Han army, but the Japanese army did not expect the artillery bombardment of the Han army to come so fiercely, which caught the Japanese army by surprise.

In just fifteen minutes, the Han army threw more than 100,000 shells on the Japanese positions, plowing the Japanese positions two or three times, and the Japanese positions were full of craters, and there was no place that had not been blown up by shells.

When the artillery bombardment of the Han army ended, there was no one of the 57,000 Japanese troops who opposed the Han army, and the remaining Japanese soldiers were stunned by this tragic artillery bombardment, and there was little resistance to it.

The decisive battle that decided the ownership of Korea ended soon after, ending in a complete victory for the Han army, with less than 1,000 Japanese troops fleeing for their lives, while the Han army's casualty figure was only a few hundred.

The Han army did not stop after the victory, and quickly marched forward with brigades as units to clear out the remaining Japanese troops in Korea, at this time the total strength of the Japanese army in Korea was only more than 10,000, and it was no longer possible to stop the Han army from occupying Korea.

After the Beiyang Fleet finished its rest in Fuzhou, it led more than 1,400 people from a regiment of the Ninth Division of the Han Army to the Ryukyus, which was captured by the Japanese army.

A few days after the decisive victory of the Han army in Korea, the Beiyang Fleet arrived at Ryukyu (the main island).

Unlike Joseon, Joseon was regarded as a colony, and it had been oppressing Korea and looting a lot of wealth, but when Ryukyu was granted domination, he immigrated to Ryukyu in large numbers and wanted to make Ryukyu part of the mainland.

In order to prevent the Han Kingdom from attacking, more than 5,000 Japanese troops were stationed in Ryukyu, and many coastal defense artillery were also arranged.

Although the Beiyang Fleet only carried one regiment of Han troops, and the Japanese army was more than three times as strong, but don't forget that with the Beiyang Fleet, the Han Kingdom would have an absolute advantage, and the main naval force of the Han Dynasty would be wiped out, and the Han Kingdom could easily capture the Ryukyus.

Off the coast of the Ryukyus, the ships of the Beiyang Fleet lined up, and their guns were aimed at the land direction.

A regiment of the Han army brought by the Beiyang Fleet is the main force to seize the Ryukyus, but the Beiyang Fleet has another main force, that is, the naval guns of the Beiyang Fleet, and the naval guns with the largest caliber in the Beiyang Fleet are the "Dingyuan" ironclad ship and the "Zhenyuan" ironclad ship, a total of eight 305 mm caliber Krupp breech guns, which are the real big killers.

Although it is said that some coastal defense guns were arranged in the Ryukyus, the shore defense guns were only fixed at one point, and the Japanese shore defense guns were all old models, and the distance was small and powerful, so there was not much threat to the warships sailing on the sea.

The naval guns of the ships of the Beiyang Fleet aimed at the Japanese coastal defense guns on land, found the right angle, and then conducted the first round of test firing.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Shells of various sizes flew to the land, but some fell into the sea without flying to land, and some crossed the Japanese positions and hit the back of the Japanese positions, and as long as a few hit the Japanese positions, they gave the Japanese troops a certain amount of casualties and blew up a coastal defense gun.

The guns of the ships of the Beiyang Fleet quickly corrected their angles and launched a second round of test firing against the Japanese army.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The results of this shelling were better than the first round of test firing, hitting twice as many shells as the Japanese positions, and inflicting more kills on the Japanese troops.

The Japanese troops on the opposite side were obviously unwilling to be beaten passively like this, and actually controlled the shore defense artillery to counterattack the Beiyang Fleet, and launched artillery bombardment on the Beiyang Fleet from the shore defense artillery positions everywhere.

It's just that the Japanese army's coastal defense artillery is really too poor, although the caliber is much better than the artillery equipped by the army, but these artillery are also antiques, the range is short, the power is small, and it can't reach the Beiyang Fleet at all.

It is not surprising that the Japanese army has these old antique coastal defense guns, after all, most of the military spending is used to develop the navy, how can the Japanese spend a lot of money to buy new coastal defense guns.

The shelling of the Beiyang Fleet continued, and the 305 mm caliber naval gun showed its true power, and every time the shell went down, a crater with a diameter of several tens of meters would be blown out on the ground, and if it hit a Japanese position, basically the Japanese position would be completely destroyed by the shells.

The shelling of the Beiyang Fleet was round after round, and the hit rate of the shells became higher and higher, and the number of Japanese casualties increased rapidly.

The commander of the Japanese army apparently saw this situation and understood that relying on these old shore defense guns could not resist the Beiyang Fleet, but would kill the Japanese army in vain, so he ordered a retreat.

It's just that where the Japanese army can retreat, the Ryukyus are such a big place, no matter where they hide, they can't do without the range of the Beiyang Fleet's naval guns.

The Beiyang Fleet, under the command of Ding Ruchang, was frantically firing shells, and when the Japanese retreated, the shells chased after the Japanese army, as if they wanted to destroy all the Japanese troops directly with shells.

In fact, the officers and men of the Beiyang Fleet, from Ding Ruchang down to the ordinary officers and men, were holding their breath in their hearts; in the last sea and air battle in Taiwan, the officers and men who were proud of the Beiyang Fleet in their hearts were actually only supporting roles, and not only did they not destroy many enemies, but they were hit by enemy ships by the Beiyang Fleet several times, and many people died, which was simply a shame for the Beiyang Fleet.

Therefore, in this battle to capture the Ryukyus, the Beiyang Fleet decided to show all its strength and let everyone see that this is the real Beiyang Fleet.

As soon as the Beiyang Fleet was powerful, the Japanese army was miserable, and a dozen or even dozens of Japanese soldiers were blown away by the large-caliber naval guns.

The Beiyang Fleet also had a lot of accidental injuries, killing many civilians who immigrated to Ryukyu and the original Ryukyu natives, but the Beiyang Fleet didn't care about these, it was just accidental injuries, and besides, there were no Chinese in Ryukyu, so it didn't matter if they were all killed.
