Chapter 740: Dark Clouds in the Distance
Coo-goo-goo..... Coo-goo-goo..... Yi, who has not sent a signal for nearly ten days? The battleship began to issue orders one after another, and the warships that had been on alert all the time began to get busy nervously when they saw the signal from the flagship, doing the final inspection of the warship.

Whining..... Woowoo....... Five hours later, the Yi? With a long whistle, the ship began to slowly leave the harbor and head out to sea.
A few minutes later, the warships at the remaining docks also began to follow Zaiyi? Behind the ship, the open sea in the distance drove away, and then began to disappear into the night at dusk.
In Seoul, inside the headquarters of the Northern Front Army, Ding Ruchang kept moving the ruler in his hand and began to measure the giant deer between Jeju Island and North Korean territory.
"Report, the Third Army called. They have arrived at the designated location. A staff officer walked over and handed the telegram in his hand to Ding Ruchang.
Great, hearing this news, Ding Ruchang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"In addition, the Navy has sent a message that they have left Vladivostok last night and are heading in the direction of Jeju." Before Ding Ruchang could react, the staff officer next to him had already placed a telegram on the table again
Good things come one after another, listening to the staff officer's report, the flesh on Ding Ruchang's face obviously smiled.
The Third Army is the main force that was transferred to attack Jeju Island this time, of course, if Sasaki of the Fifth Wing in Jeju can get acquainted, then he doesn't have to let the army attack, if Sasaki doesn't give face, he wants to be tough with himself, he will be the first time, together with the navy, he doesn't even know what his surname is.
"Is there any news from Sasaki?" Hearing that the Third Army and Navy had been dispatched, Ding Ruchang turned around and asked about the situation on Jeju Island.
On the day when the decision was made to occupy Jeju Island, Ding Ruchang had already asked the telegraph office to send a clear telegram directly to Jeju Island, which roughly meant that he hoped that the Fifth Wing would see the current situation clearly, and that the Fifth Wing would not sacrifice needlessly for the sake of the people and soldiers on the island. Surrender forget it.
This telegram, neither soft nor hard, is a good point to persuade surrender, Ding Ruchang thinks that as long as he sends this telegram, Sasaki will definitely surrender, however, he really miscalculated, nearly five days have passed, and he hasn't even let out a fart over there.
"Nothing happens."
, It's quite faceless, Ding Ruchang trembled when he heard this, but soon he regained his composure, he didn't believe it, after waiting for two days, after his fleet arrived, Sasaki would be so calm.
On Jeju Island, the sea breeze blows through the dense forest in the distance on the beach. A black Japanese military flag, which is being blown by the sea breeze, swings from side to side, and above the military flag, is the headquarters of the Japanese Fifth Wing.
After the Japanese evacuation, because of the urgency of the situation at that time, and the fear that Liaodong would immediately attack Jeju, Nogi Nishinori did not leave too many troops here at that time, just a brigade, and later the northern front was not so tight. Nogi Nishinori transferred the brigade back, leaving only a fifth wing, stationed here to guard Jeju Island.
Hey, a slight sigh came from the headquarters of the Fifth Wing, this headquarters, to put it simply, is a bunker.
There is no way, over the years, Japan has robbed a large number of people here, forcing the Koreans here to the deep mountains and old forests, and they can't find any decent places, so they can only move the headquarters to the fort.
Speaking of a battery, there are only two 150-millimeter shore defense runs, plus a few field guns. However, something is better than nothing, and during this time, I relied on this fort to defend Jeju Island.
Sasaki is only thirty-five years old this year, but during this time, the Liaodong Army has pressed the border, which makes him feel a lot of pressure, and he will not be arrogant enough to fight against the Liaodong Army with more than 1,000 people. I don't have that much ability.
However, for so many years, his teachers and superiors had to tell him that he would shed his last drop of blood for the emperor, so for so many years, he thought that he was born for the emperor.
With a snap, Sasaki, who threw the pistol in his hand on the table, looked uneasily at the empty sea outside, and then let out a sigh of relief, but immediately, his eyes were awakened by a telegram placed on the table, which had been placed here for nearly seven days. And the content on the telegram, he doesn't need to read it, he can memorize it, after all, he has been reading the content of the telegram for the past few days, when he has nothing to do.
The telegram was sent by the North Korean side, and the content was very simple, that is, it hoped that it would surrender.
To tell the truth, when this information was received, Sasaki did not hesitate to crumple up the telegram and throw it into the trash bin on the side.
At that time, he thought that how could the captain of his majestic Japanese Empire surrender, but the excitement was only temporary, and after calming down, Sasaki personally picked up the crumpled waste paper from the garbage heap. Put it on the table,
The content of the telegram was still very tempting, as long as he surrendered, his troops could be reorganized and become the same army that surrendered in Korea at that time, and became the Yellow Army.
This temptation made Sasaki a little excited in his heart, but when he faced that his children were still in Japan, he didn't dare, after all, they had a bloody lesson in front of him. It is also deeply buried in my heart.
He didn't dare, and he couldn't do this, so these days, he didn't reply to Liaodong, and he didn't do any treatment, he wanted to delay, drag it to Liaodong to forget himself, forget Jeju, but it seemed impossible, because the afternoon before yesterday, he received a message from the North Korean side, about the strength of an army, entered the port.
An army, even if the other party comes to a division, he can't bear it, let alone an army, and Sasaki almost collapsed directly after getting the news. He really didn't have the courage to fight with someone else's army.
"Your Excellency, it's going to rain, do you want to reinforce it?" The staff officer on one side took a look at the sky outside and stepped forward to ask.
He is kind enough to make this place, once it rains, it leaks. Very boring.
What, how could it rain on such a good day, and after looking up at his staff officer, Sasaki stood up and walked to the side of the bunker.
Well, yes, it's going to rain. (To be continued.) )
