The navy dispatched three armored cruisers, 15 torpedo cruisers, 35 torpedo boats and 35 large fishing boats, 56 cargo boats, and 158 small fishing boats of various kinds. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

These fishing boats were all after the decision was made to attack Kyushu. Liaodong urgently dispatched and entered North Korea, and the last group of fishing boats came here in less than three days.

"This escort is up to your navy." I saw Lin Tai looking at the warship in a daze. Ding Ruchang said after taking a deep breath.

"Don't worry. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Lin Tai once had great trust in his troops, and he believed that this kind of task could definitely be explained easily.

Raising his wrist, he looked at the time, there were still six hours to go. It was the time when the troops set off, but now, Ding Ruchang looked around the beach, and it was less than two-thirds of the way up, and he was a little worried, six hours was enough, or was it not enough.

Whether it is enough or not, the fleet must depart on time, otherwise, it will not be able to get there at the appointed time, and the troops that are not loaded behind can completely follow.

Woowoo...... Woowoo..... As soon as it was dawn, the warships anchored in the harbor began to emit billowing soot after a long whistle, and then the ships began to move slowly, leaving the temporary dock on Jeju Island and disappearing into the endless sea.

Dabantu, the command post of the 3rd Squadron of the Japanese Army. After a day of drills, squadron leader Tanaka was a little tired. After returning to the headquarters, after drinking a few sips of cold water in a row, he lay on the sofa next to him like a dead dog.

Tanaka was a military student who graduated from school last year, and now there is a shortage of officers in Japan, so Tanaka, who came out of school, became a squadron leader without any practical experience. After the outbreak of war, his troops received orders from above and came to Dabantu to take charge of the defense here.

To tell the truth, Tanaka was very dissatisfied with coming to guard this place, he belonged to the infantry section, so on the first day he came here, he found that this place was simply a dead place, and no one should think about it, it was very simple, more than a hundred meters of open land, and half of it was terrible mud, as long as he set up the two machine guns of the troops here, the opponent would not be able to pass at all, and, according to the local fishermen, this place, as long as it was a boat with a waterline of more than three meters, could not come.

He was confident that he would be able to defend such a place at the right time and place, because he firmly believed that the Liaodong Army would never land from this place.

Hey, in addition to training for a day, Tian Zhongzhong was a little depressed, and after looking down for a few moments, he got up from his chair, and then opened the drawer and took out some money, today's weather is very good, and it is a good time to eat something on the beach.

After coming to the street and buying a pot of sake and some vegetables, Tanaka went to the beach alone, spread a white cloth, and began to lie on the beach, enjoying this rare wind and sunshine while drinking, and the life was indescribably comfortable.

Time passed little by little, and the alcohol was estimated to be a bit high, and before it was much, Tanaka fell asleep in a daze. It was about three hours before Tanaka woke up.

When he opened his eyes, Tanaka took a look, and he found that there were originally a lot of people here, but now there is no one left.

What happened, Tian Zhongzhong kept asking, he didn't know, what happened, there was no one on the beach.

"The Liaodong Army is coming." A shout in the distance frightened Tanaka, and when he turned his head, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a patched fisherman's clothes shouting, and then quickly threw off the fishing boat and ran.

The Liaodong Army is coming, how can this be possible, although I think so in my heart. But Tanaka still stood up and grabbed the fisherman who was running to the shore and asked, "Where is the Liaodong Army?" ”

"In the back, in the back." After the fisherman finished speaking, he broke free from the hand in the field a few times, and ran to the fishing village in the distance without hesitation.

Behind? Turning around and looking at Tanaka, he didn't see anything, there were indeed some ships in the distance, but those were just evil fishing boats, and there was no Bei Ying of the Liaodong Army

It must be these people who are greedy for life and afraid of death to make such a report, Tanaka, who took a few deep breaths, shook his head, and he definitely didn't believe it anyway. The Liaodong Army will land from this place.

Woowoo...... Woowoo........ Soon after the whistle sounded, a huge dark cloud appeared from the sky, and under this dark cloud, there was actually a huge fleet, but this fleet always felt weird.

In front, there were several large warships weighing more than several thousand tons, and these warships took the lead in the front, and they were followed by more than a dozen torpedo cruisers, and behind and next to these warships, they were all large and small fishing boats. These fishing boats have a very deep draft, and most of them are cautious steam engine ships, and they are not fast, so the warships in front can only lower their speed and go with these fishing boats.

On the ironclad ship Zhenyuan, Liu Rulin, the newly appointed captain of the battleship Zhenyuan, was standing quietly on the bridge, looking at the huge fleet behind him in a daze.

Liu Rulin is one of the second-generation figures trained by the Liaodong Navy and the first batch of military cadets trained by the Yantai Naval Academy. In eight years, he climbed from a gun apprentice to the position of captain of the ironclad ship, in the entire navy, he was the first, this time, Lin Tai Zenglin in order to test Liu Rulin's ability, decided to let him command the landing operation.

"Report, it's still fifty nautical miles from the big slab." The intelligence surveyor, who had been observing the situation, said to Liu Rulin, who was standing on the side, after looking at the surrounding situation and comparing the map.

Fifty nautical miles, if a warship is at full speed, that is a few hours, but if you estimate these fishing boats, it will take a long time.

"What time is it now?" Looking down and thinking for a while, Liu Rulin asked the staff officer standing beside him.

"Fifteen o'clock." The staff officer looked at his watch and replied loudly.

One and a half minutes, at the current rate, fifty nautical miles. It will take five hours, that is, at dusk, you will be able to reach the big slab, and according to the intelligence, the time when the water will rise is after nine o'clock tomorrow, and the time is enough. (To be continued.) )
