According to the interrogation, some Japanese officers confessed that it was the US ** team that voluntarily provided military flags and national flags for use by Japan, that is, the United States was supporting the Japanese army behind the scenes.

This is in line with the truth of history, at the time of the First Sino-Japanese War, it was the United States that instigated and instigated Japan to attack China, and demanded that the scourge of the First Sino-Japanese War was the rotten Qing court at home, and at home, the first was the Japanese and the second was the United States.

Zuo Zongtang didn't have kung fu theory, and after resting for a while, he took prisoners of war, landed ashore, and sent more than 600 marines to attack, and then sent 600 reinforcements.

More than 600 of the forward**, after landing, quickly saw the indigenous people, got the guidance, immediately, urgently marched six miles, saw more than 2,000 Japanese troops in distress, because they could not attack for a long time, the weather was hot, the Japanese army did not accept the water and soil, and hundreds of people died in vain, so they were very depressed,

The Chinese marines immediately launched an attack on the Japanese army, with dozens of mortars, advanced rifle squadrons, first covered with artillery fire, the Japanese army was dizzy, morale collapsed, and then, like a tide, rushed over, shooting while rushing,

The Japanese did not have a cannon, and the rifles they used were Murata-style, imitating the Western, which was very backward, so they could not resist the attack of the Chinese **, so they had to fight and retreat.

The artillery bombardment of the squadron ** made at least more than 600 Japanese soldiers see the king of Hades, and hundreds of Japanese soldiers were injured, so the resistance of the Japanese army quickly collapsed, and the ** squadron pursued for more than five miles, surrounded the Japanese army on a beach, copied on all sides, and bombarded it with shells, most of it was annihilated, and the remnants of more than 100 Japanese troops surrendered.

The battle of the army ended quickly, and when the second echelon of the Chinese army arrived, it found that it was only necessary to clean up the battlefield.

Quickly communicated with the defenders on the island of Taiwan, Zuo Zongtang met with Taiwan's defender Liu Mingchuan in Keelung, and presented the Marine Corps with mortars, new rifles, etc., to enhance the strength of the defenders.

"Old general, senior." Liu Mingchuan guided a person to introduce to Zuo Zongtang: "He is a former minister of the king of Liuqiu, the country of Liuqiu was destroyed by the Japanese state, and the people were scattered. ”

Liu Mingchuan's words aroused Zuo Zongtang's great interest, and the person who was introduced was indeed the minister of Liuqiu, who cried to Zuo Zongtang about the misery of Liuqiu's destruction, and asked to borrow troops to restore the country.

Although Zuo Zongtang did not take Luo Yang's order, he also knew what Luo Yang meant, anyway, Peng Yulin's North Sea Fleet had already gone east to Fusang and went straight to the Japanese country.

Zuo Zongtang knew from his usual interactions that Luo Yang would reorganize the rivers and mountains and greatly boost the country's prestige, so he decisively agreed.

In Taiwan, the Chinese fleet rested for a day, replenished fresh water and food, etc., and immediately left the northeast.

In a few days, the Chinese fleet passed through the Ssenjima Islands, and at the request of the Minister of Ryuki, the Chinese fleet approached the islands, Iriomote Island, Yaeyama Island, Miyako Island, three large islands, and sent marines to land, and then looked for the people of Ryuqiu, and the people of Ryuqiu here were very excited when they heard that it was the Chinese army that helped them, and there were hundreds of Japanese troops on the islands, and the battle was carried out easily.

With the help of the people of Liuqiu, the squadron quickly defeated the Japanese army, all the puppet army was shot, and all the Japanese were taken away, and the three islands killed more than 700 enemy soldiers and obtained more than 230 prisoners of war.

The fleet continued to advance, and in a few days arrived at the main island of Ryuqiu, which is now called the island of Okinawa, and in the Naha area, I encountered a small Japanese fleet, two battleships, one was a cruiser, a light model, and the other was a gunboat, Nima, speechless, the Chinese battleship did not say a word, and when it was caught, it bombarded for a while, sank it, and then landed,

On the island of Ryuqiu, there is an infantry wing of the Japanese army, which means a regiment, and the captain of the wing is Saigo Rise, which should be the unit system of the southwest warlords during the Meiji Restoration, and there is a big man in his clan, known as the three heroes of the Meiji Restoration in Japan, Saigo Takamori, this person is a very complex character, first armed to fall the curtain, and then led the rebels to oppose the Meiji government, and finally committed suicide in defeat, affected by this, Saigo Rise can be with the rank of captain of the wing, guarding Ryukou, or very good,

In order to quickly annihilate it, Zuo Zongtang had an idea and sent local people, as well as the Japanese prisoners of war in his hands, to send a letter to Saigo Takashi, inviting him to fight in Naha.

The Japanese people are very arrogant, Xixiang Rising really generously agreed, leading all the troops to rush to participate in the battle, Zuo Zongtang's fleet, the total number of people is 5,000, of which, the crews of each ship, cruisers are more than 200 people, battleships are 400 to 500 people, naval officers and men are more than 3,400, and the rest of the more than 1,000 are marine troops.

In the afternoon of the battle, the Japanese gathered near Naha, a mile from the coastline, and the Chinese marines landed, first confronted the enemy, and soon the two armies came into contact and fought.

After shooting for a while, about fifteen minutes, they retreated, and retreated to the seaside, after hesitating, they began to chase and chased until the seaside.

Seeing the victory, the Japanese army naturally will not let go of the **, Saigo raised the command of the Japanese army, launched an attack on the ** again and again, many soldiers of the Japanese army, discarded the rifle, only brandished the saber and rushed forward, hoping to use their excellent stabbing skills to defeat the ** squadron,

The squadron was very cunning, lying on the ground, row after row of stragglers, constantly shooting, swallowing out a dense stream of flames, tearing apart the bodies of the rushing Japanese officers and soldiers, the bullets were torn, jumping, and galloping out of the enemy's chest with clusters of blood, until the Japanese soldiers fell to the ground one by one, becoming corpses,

Saigo did not expect that the squadron was well-trained, and immediately brandished his saber and commanded the main force of the army to charge, and he himself went out himself, and forced hundreds of Ryuqiu people to charge, wrapped in his Japanese troops,

Now, instead of fighting, it was a massacre, and the Chinese infantry shot beautifully, shooting these idiots into corpses, and when they rushed too fast, and when they reached a few tens of meters nearby, they dealt with grenades and blew them up,

This is not the most terrifying, Zuo Zongtang, the intention of ordering the troops to retreat to the sea is to participate in the battle, seeing that the army troops are fighting too much entertainment, Zuo Zongtang is not happy, and ordered to open the cannon,

The heavy artillery of the naval fleet slammed into the Japanese army, and suddenly, the smoke of gunpowder was filled with the sound of explosions, and all the Japanese army was wrapped in the land of death.

After ten minutes of bombardment, the Chinese fleet stopped fighting, and after waiting for a while, the smoke cleared, and I saw that the beach was full of corpses of Japanese soldiers, and almost, the Japanese army was swept away,

The battle of Naha ended successfully, the Japanese general Saigo was killed, and more than 1,400 people under his command were all turned into ashes, and only a few people were able to escape and become prisoners of war.

Ryuqiu was immediately restored, because the king was arrested by the Japanese state, and the minister who should guide him was to supervise the country and temporarily prime minister the government.
