Chapter 195: Capture Naha

Now it turns out that the king of the Ryukyus, Shonori, has been able to do anything more, he is now a major shareholder of Japan Railways, and his eldest son Sho Yue, that is, the crown prince of the Ryukyus, is also in Japan, since Japan implemented the "abolition of the feudal prefecture" in the Ryukyus! After that, Ryukyu had been quiet for a while. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But now the Ryukyus because of the strength of the suzerain, the independence movement here is more turbulent, but this has not brought them any benefit, Japan on the one hand to step up the prevention and suppression here, on the other hand, is also watching the movement of the Chinese Empire.

During this time, the second and fourth sons of Shangdian, who originally settled in Naha, were also impacted, in fact, the two of them had no ambition at all, but the trees wanted to move, and the wind did not stop! Seduced by the Ryukyu aristocracy and ethnic personnel, the second son, Shoyan, sent a letter to the Emperor of Japan, demanding that Naha's independent status be restored.

The rhythm of death, the death of things, Japan immediately began to suppress the action, the fourth Shangshun immediately began to live in exile, to the Chinese Empire is catching up with the great changes in China, at that time when the Empress Dowager Cixi was in power, there was no chance or possibility to see the Empress Dowager and the emperor.

But I didn't expect that when he was bored, someone actually came to find him and told him that the emperor gave you a name, and from today onwards, your name is Jin Bihui, and you will follow me to Beijing immediately! From that day on, everything seemed to be in a dream, and Shang Shun was now Brigadier General Jin Bihui, the commander-in-chief of the 1st Marine Corps Landing Formation!

These years seem to be a dream, remembering that more than ten years ago, he and his second brother returned to live in Naha, and the originally peaceful life was restricted by the Japanese everywhere, but then the situation changed.

The Chinese Empire gradually became different, the Westernization Movement in the Chinese Empire was vigorous, and then the strategic location of the Ryukyus was revealed, which was the more merchant ships docked in the Ryukyus, especially after seeing the Guangxu Emperor in power, China seemed to have a bright future, and it seemed that the Chinese Empire was really going to appear like the Kangxi Emperor.

At this time, the second brother withstood the pressure of Japan's recognition, and at this time, Japan began the Meiji Restoration Movement, and the operation of the entire Japanese government also reflected the appearance of transparency, plus at this time, US President Coolidge visited the Far East and interfered in the Ryukyu issue, and China and Japan have begun to negotiate the issue.

But all this is an illusion, Japan has no intention of making the Ryukyus independent at all, and after all the independent forces have surfaced, Japan began a crazy retaliatory action in Naha, and it was at that time that the second son Shoyan disappeared.

Shang Shun escaped from Naha and came to the capital of the Huaxia Empire to seek support, but he didn't expect that the Huaxia Empire at that time was also in internal and external difficulties and could not afford to look eastward!

But Jin Bihui didn't know why, he, a person who was no longer a homeless person, was taken care of by the Chinese Empire, and when he set foot on the port of the Chinese Empire, it seemed that everything had been arranged!

First of all, there is a group of Ryukyu remnants who are living in China, and these people have their own official positions or industries in the Chinese Empire, and their own family lives. At this time, his father Shangdian had been deposed by Japan, so he was no longer a prince.

But these people still call him a prince, and wherever he goes, he will feel that the Huaxia Empire still has special care for him.

Since then, the Chinese Empire has not mentioned the matter of restoring the Ryukyu Kingdom, and Li Hongzhang, who originally actively advocated the restoration of the Ryukyus, has not mentioned this matter, as if this incident had never happened, and then the matter of their family gradually came.

Japan suspected that he, the fourth prince, was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, so he strengthened the supervision of his father and brother, and at this time, his father announced that his son would be expelled from the family in order to protect himself, so he was no longer a member of the Shang family, and at the same time began a large number of resident changes in the Ryukyus, and the Japanese migrated to the Ryukyus in Osaka, and the Ryukyuan migrated to all parts of Osaka, so that more than 500,000 Japanese migrated in the Ryukyus, and the local Ryukyuan people who stayed on the Ryukyu Island are now less than 100,000.

Jin Bihui knew everything about what happened in the Ryukyus, but he met with many high-ranking officials of the Chinese Empire, but during that period of drastic power change, the officials of the Chinese Empire did not have the energy to care about these things at all.

Just when he was at a loss, the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire was formed, and he was one of the first officers to enlist, training with the German lessons!

During that time, he met a lot of current senior generals, and then explained that the Great Patriotic War with Tsarist Russia broke out, Jin Bihui was appointed as an officer, and led the team to the front line, in this process, his rank was rising step by step, although they were all fighting on the front line, no one could really take care of anyone, but Jin Bihui felt that Huaxia was really taking care of him!

At this time, Ma Jiancai and Mao Fenglai, who were closely following Jin Bihui, were also lieutenant colonel-level officers, both of whom were commanders of the Marine Corps, and many of the Marines who were preparing to log in were Ryukyuan people.

Jin Bihui stood in the command room of the "Yongyuan" ironclad ship and saw two important gateways to Naha, the Orazamori Fort and the Miejo Fort, which were originally important forts in the Ryukyus, but they could not stop Japan's ambitions at all.

First, the Satsuma Domain annexed the Dayu Islands, so that the northern part of the Ryukyus was gone, and then Japan simply occupied the entire Ryukyus, and the process was very simple and ridiculous, every time I thought of this, Jin Bihui's heart was an inexplicable pain. At that time, as long as the Ryukyus had the strength of the current regiment and the Chinese Imperial Army, it would be absolutely impossible for Japan to colonize the Ryukyus easily!

As long as there is a regiment of troops, Ryukyu will not be a kingdom!

Now everything is different, now he is a high-ranking officer of the Chinese Empire, leading a division of marines, more than 20,000 troops, attacking his home country, his birthplace, just because this place has been invaded, he came back with a large army for revenge!

Until now, the Chinese Empire has not mentioned that it will restore the Ryukyus, but Jin Bihui has never asked for anything, but the trust of the Chinese Empire in him is enough to explain everything.

Huang Ze, the captain of the "Yongyuan" ironclad ship, held a brief military command meeting, and he pointed to the map and said; "According to the intelligence, Japan has a tight deployment of both fortresses and has set up at least two lines of defense on the island.

The first is the defense of the port, which can be dealt with by the artillery fire of the warships.

But the fortifications inside the fortress are very difficult to deal with, the Japanese rely on the terrain advantages, in the bottom of the establishment of tunnels and pillboxes of the main position, with concrete fortifications and caverns combined, and with the traffic number to link each other, our artillery fire is fierce, it is difficult to hit the bottom of the ah!

Jin Bihui looked at the map and said; "Captain Huang, your artillery fire will first suppress the beach front, as long as you take this beach position, our marines will deploy here, and then the matter will be handed over to us!"

After Huang Ze heard Jin Bihui say this, he threw down the pencil in his hand, and then lit a cigarette and said; "Commander Liu Buyun and I actually don't agree to let you take on the task of the first attack!

But the order of the General Staff must let you go, your identity is very special, if anything goes wrong, our First Fleet is responsible! I hope you will understand, General Kim! ”

Jin Bihui said; "General Huang, don't worry, this general star on my shoulder is also from military exploits, I know it in my heart!"

Huang Ze said again; "Although most of the Ryukyuan people have been moved to Osaka, there are still many Ryukyuan people on Ryukyu Island, and there is no way not to get injured by mistake!"

Jin Bihui took out his pocket watch, looked at the time on it, and said; "It's 12:30 on June 30th, and it's one o'clock in the middle of nowhere!"

Huang Ze said; "The question of casualties!"

Jin Bihui said; "Everything is my responsibility!"

Huang Ze said; "Good! You are the king of the Ryukyus, and of course you are responsible! ”

Jin Bihui's face did not have any expression change, but behind him Ma Jiancai, Mao Fenglai was very excited, and really cried loudly to the horse, although they all knew very well in their hearts that the Chinese Empire would definitely restore the Ryukyus, but now that it came out of the mouth of the senior officers of the Chinese Empire, the effect was even more different.

There are a total of 16 warships attacking the island this time, which is the first combined fleet of the Chinese Empire, and the second combined fleet, and now Liu Buyun is leading the "Qinglong battleship" to cruise in the open sea, although he knows that the current Japanese main fleet is in the Tatartan Sea, but Liu Buyun does not dare to be careless, so the two fleets act separately, the first fleet patrols the open sea protection, responsible for the safety of supply and transportation, and the second fleet loses and the marines attack the island!

At about 13 o'clock on June 30, the Second Combined Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire began to carpet bomb the Japanese coastal defense fortresses and beach defense positions on Naha, and the bombing was carried out three times in total.

Each bombing is more than an hour, after the bombing of the Chinese Empire, the Japanese will rush out of the fortress, come to the fortifications and wait for the soldiers of the landing team, but the marines did not come up, the Chinese Navy still opened fire again, so that the Japanese soldiers in the open fortifications "soul home"!

After the second shelling, it stopped for a long time, and the Japanese thought that this time the Chinese marines would land on the island, but in fact, this time they did not really land on the island, they were greeted by shells flying in the sky, and the Japanese suffered heavy casualties!

Japan deployed more than 6,000 troops to defend the island in Naha, as well as two companies of the Japanese Army, totaling more than 14,000 people. These men were scattered in various scattered fortresses, and the officers defending the island were trained and studied in Germany. ”。

It's very different, he is very different from traditional Japanese generals, that is, he is very opposed to suicide attacks, so this guy is a very difficult guy!

The third shelling stopped, and now it was completely dark, and the glow hid everything on the island in the night. Si Lin Kedao Dazuo thought that this time the people of the Chinese Empire would definitely log in again, so he once again ordered the soldiers to come out of the bunkers and come to the bunker trenches to prepare for the attack of the Chinese Empire.

Two hours after the third shelling stopped, flares were raised on the ironclad ships "Zhenyuan", "Yongyuan", "Zhiyuan", "Reiyuan" and "Renyuan", and the Japanese soldiers saw such a thing for the first time, and the entire sea seemed to have turned back in time, and suddenly the sea and beach of Naha were like daylight!

At this time, many Japanese soldiers looked at the sky for the last time, and then the naval and artillery fire of the Chinese Empire attacked again, and the Japanese defenders' positions were fiercely loosened from the ground at one time, and the four bombardments caused the Japanese to lose more than 5,000 soldiers.

The bombardment consumed more than 1,600 rounds of 210-mm shells and 6,254 rounds of 127-mm shells fired by the Imperial Navy, making smoke billowing from the two fortresses of Naha!
