"You don't have to worry about me, let's think more about the next battle!" Ito Yuma turned his head to look at his younger brother, his eyes were full of irrepressible anger, and Ito Yuhyung was so frightened that he couldn't help but take a step back. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Brother means ......"

"The one who fought with us just now should be a reconnaissance ship of the Qing Navy!" Ito Yuma looked at his brother coldly, "If my guess is right, it's going back to report the news!" Next, the main force of the Qing fleet will come to attack us! Are you ready for the battle? ”

Ito Yuhyung didn't dare to look into his brother's eyes, but stood up and lowered his head, and answered loudly: "Hey! ”

"A small reconnaissance ship, the combat effectiveness is so strong, the strength of the main fleet of the Qing State can be imagined!" Ito Yuma turned around and looked at the Japanese sailors who were caring for the wounded, his voice became hoarse, "You have to understand, it wasn't a real battle at all!" ”

"The teacher has repeatedly warned you not to have a head-on conflict with the Qing Navy, but you are acting so recklessly! What a waste of the teacher's earnest teaching! The more Ito Yuma spoke, the angrier he became, and he didn't notice that Saigo who came out with him had a yin face.

Before sending troops, the brothers Ito and Ito went to visit their teacher Katsu Haishu to ask them how to enter the army, and Katsu Haizhou sternly warned them that they must not clash with the Chinese navy, otherwise it would not only bring great trouble to them personally, but also to the whole of Japan. The Ito brothers took the warning of Katsu Haizhou to heart at the time, but when they went to sea, Ito Yuma was still relatively serious, but Ito Yuhyi forgot the teacher's warning completely after seeing the Chinese fleet.

"Hey!" Ito Youheng made his brother reprimand so red that he didn't dare to say more, but he just bowed his head vigorously and agreed.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of rifle shooting in the distance, and Ito Yuma turned his head to look and saw that the Japanese sailors on the "East" were shooting at the Chinese soldiers who were still struggling in the sea with their rifles!

In the distance, the Japanese sailors on the "Rijin" and "Meng Chun" were also shooting at the Chinese soldiers who had fallen into the water with rifles.

"Is this your order?" Ito Yuma turned his head, looked at Ito Yuhyung, and said angrily, "Tell them to stop immediately!" ”

A look of hesitation flashed in Ito's eyes, and his mouth moved, but he didn't make a sound, and he didn't immediately give the order as Ito Yuma asked.

"Yaga! Have you forgotten the teacher's teachings? Ito Yuma was furious when he saw this, and stepped forward and gave Ito Yuhyi a mouthful. Ito Yoheung was so blinded by this slap that he almost didn't fall to the ground.

Ito Yuma shouted and ordered, "Pass my orders!" Don't shoot Qing soldiers who have lost their ability to resist! Get them up now! ”

"Forget it! Major General Ito! Saigo's voice rang out from behind Ito Yuma, "We have to hurry up and land and launch an offensive operation, and we don't have time to take care of the prisoners!" ”

Ito Youmo was so angry that he trembled, and he couldn't speak for a while, Saigo Congdao didn't pay attention to him, but glared at Ito Youheng sternly, Ito Youheng raised his head, and as soon as his eyes touched Saigo's gaze, he quickly lowered his head again.

"Saigo-kun, do you want to completely ruin the reputation of the Japanese army?" Ito Yuma pointed to the American merchant ship hired by the Japanese side not far away to transport army soldiers, and yelled, "Do you want the whole world to think that the Japanese are barbarians?" ”

"Then let them swim ashore on their own!" Saigo remembered the American cruiser "Monaken" who was watching the battle from a distance, and after replying viciously, he turned around and strode away.

"Tell them not to shoot at the Qing people who have fallen into the water!" Ito yuma yelled at Ito.

Ito Yuhiro quickly ordered his men to stop the sailors from firing, and sent a flag signal to the "Rijin" and "Mengchun", and soon, the "Rijin" and "Mengchun", who received the signal, sailed towards the troop carrier, and the gunfire on the sea also subsided.

"****!"

Watching the Japanese warship gradually move away, Yang Jingchun, a personal soldier of Wu Qixun, the assistant commander of the Penghu Naval Division, who was struggling on the sea surface with a wooden plank, spit out a mouthful of seawater and scolded fiercely.

At this time, the sea was full of floating corpses and fellow Penghu sailors struggling to swim to the shore.

Yang Jingchun, 25 years old, is a native of Xiamen, Fujian, and has been a soldier in the Penghu Navy Division for many years. For Wu Qixun's promotion of himself, he has always been grateful to him.

Just now, his division ship was hit by Japanese artillery fire, and he and many of his companions fell into the sea in an instant, being swallowed up by the waves.

Yang Jingchun, who was completely blinded by this sudden and vicious battle, floated in the sea like this, and he didn't come back to his senses until the Japanese ship was far away.

Loyal and simple, his first thought at this time was to find Wu Qixun.

Yang Jingchun turned his head and searched the sea.

The sea was littered with corpses, many mutilated and oozing blood, turning the inky blue waters into a dark red.

Seeing so many friends and colleagues die like this, Yang Jingchun couldn't help but shed tears.

Before coming here, the mission of this operation he knew was nothing more than to prevent the so-called "Japanese Shengban Expedition" from landing in Langqiao, and no one expected that it would be the Japanese brigade of soldiers and warships!

Yang Jingchun didn't care about scolding the Japanese, he held the wooden plank, and looked left and right while swimming, looking for Shangguan's figure.

Finally, on a boat board in the distance, Yang Jingchun saw a crouching back that was so familiar, he immediately threw away the plank and swam over.

"My lord! My lord! Yang Jingchun swam to the side of the boat, he recognized that this was Wu Qixun, and immediately called anxiously, but did not see the large area of blood-stained sea water around Wu Qixun.

Yang Jingchun stepped on the water and came to Wu Qixun's side, he saw Wu Qixun lying there motionless face down, his heart was anxious, he used his hand to pull Wu Qixun's body, turned over, and saw Wu Qixun's eyes wide, and his angry expression froze on his face, he tried to probe Wu Qixun's snort with his hand, and then he realized that Wu Qixun had long been out of breath.

Seeing the two bloody holes in Wu Qixun's chest and abdomen that were pierced by dark red blood (presumably pierced by fragments of Japanese shells), Yang Jingchun couldn't help but cry.

Several colleagues swam over when they heard the crying, and they all cried when they saw the tragic death of Wu Qixun.

Yang Jingchun wiped away his tears, reached out and closed Wu Qixun's eyelids, and pushed the boat board with everyone and swam to the shore.

Finally got ashore, Yang Jingchun and everyone dug a big pit with their hands at a sand slope where the sea water could not be immersed, and buried Wu Qixun's body.

After burying Wu Qixun, Yang Jingchun and others knelt down in front of the tomb, facing Wu Qixun's grave, Yang Jingchun made an oath in his heart.

If he can go back safely this time, he will go to join the shipmaster and sailor to avenge Wu Qixun and many comrades who died!

One after another, many people went ashore, and everyone gathered in one place, and under the leadership of the battalion officer Peng Baiwen, they hid in the mountains and forests.

After climbing a hillside, Yang Jingchun crouched behind a big rock, looked into the distance, and saw that on the sea in the distance, four Japanese troop carriers had lowered their boats and transported personnel and baggage to the shore.

"The Japanese are trying to occupy our Taiwan!" I don't know who said it.

"The situation is urgent, let's hurry up the mountain road and go to Tainan to report the news!" Peng Baiwen observed it and immediately made a decision. Everyone had nothing else to discuss, and immediately followed Peng Baiwen and walked in the direction of Tainan.

At about the same time, on another hill, several Paiwan hunters with rifles and bows were watching the movements of the Japanese. It was noon, and when they saw that the Japanese who had landed on the beach and began to eat, they left the two of them to continue to spy on the Japanese, while the rest of them rushed back to report the news.

"What's going on with this rice ball!" Saigo, who was sitting in a chair, took a bite of the rice balls sent by his subordinates, chewed for a while, and then frowned.

"Why is this rice ball rancid?" Army Major General Gu Gancheng was also stunned when he ate a mouthful of rice balls, but in line with the principle of not wasting it, he still swallowed this mouthful of rice balls vigorously.

"Which bastard is in charge of the quartermaster!" Saigo saw Gu Gancheng swallowing the rice balls, and he was embarrassed to spit out the rice balls that had already been eaten, so he had to grit his teeth and swallow the rice balls.

"It's just a little rancid. It doesn't matter if you can still eat it. The rice balls eaten by Mizuno on the side may not be so rancid, so he exonerated the quartermaster with great understanding, "These rice balls are all shipped from the country, and after so many days, some of them are a little spoiled, but they can still be eaten." ”

Listening to Mizuno Zun's words, Saigo was embarrassed to say anything more, but ate the rice balls in his hand, he turned his head to look at the Japanese army soldiers who were eating lunch, and saw that most of the soldiers were eating rice balls and did not say anything, only a few samurai from the Satsuma Domain spit directly on the beach after biting the rice balls, pulled out the katana at his waist, and shouted loudly to cut off the quartermaster's head.

Saigo then ordered a military meeting, several soldiers moved tables and chairs, and an officer spread out a map of the island of Taiwan provided by Lee Xiande on the table.

"From the south to the north, we will launch a comprehensive sweep of the tribes of Shengfan!" Saigo pulled out the Emperor's sword from the road and gestured on the map, "I must make sure that Ikuban no longer has a contempt for the Imperial Army!" Sincerely surrender under the banner of the sun of our great Japanese empire! ”

"The heart of Taiwan, which is occupied by Shengfan, where mountains, lakes, forest products, minerals, and livestock are said to be inexhaustible treasures! As long as we defeat Ikuban, it will be ours! Do you have the confidence to hold these treasures in your hands? ”

"Yes!" The Japanese generals present were infected by Saigo's excitement, and they all became excited and replied in unison.

"So, let's get to the action right away!" Saigo withdrew the sword from the road, glanced at the generals, and said with great ambition, "Let's fight for the revitalization of the empire!" ”

"Fight for the revitalization of the empire!" The generals shouted in unison again.

After a while, a Japanese reconnaissance team of about 100 people set out.

Trainee officer An Gang Lizhi walked in the forest, the ground was full of leaves, and the strong smell made An Gang Lizhi's nostrils itch. The earth is steaming hot, urging An Gangli to sleep. The earth is like a cradle, and someone is gently shaking it, shaking it in silence.

An Tsunade seemed to be able to hear that an ant had crawled over with small steps, and the sand under its feet was scattered and made a rustling sound...... All is silent. Silence is a strange plaything. Since the army, An Tsunade has never experienced the taste of silence. Yes, during the Fall War, the Anzunori retreated from the front line several times to recuperate, but the front line was not too far away, and the tom of the war drums and the earth-shattering noise of the samurai could always be heard on the horizon. During that time, An Ganglizhi's body was intact and he never touched a single hair; Now, the front line was far away from Yasuzuntoshi, and Second Lieutenant Fukuhara Toyoko, who was from Kumamoto Town, who led the team, followed the group of infantry. Only one person is left here...... An Ganglizhi walked in this grove, listening attentively, and there was silence all around. Silence is like a pool of clear water.

An Gangli stared at the sky supported by the treetops of small trees. It's hot all year round, and even on the shady slopes of the woods, it emits heat like a stove.

The white clouds in the sky are long, long and long, as if the wind has blown the gossamer up. The sky is clear. An Gang Lizhi spread his arms, and a hot vapor lifted An Gang Lizhi up, and flowed forward like a tide. In an instant, An Ganglizhi felt in a trance, but it was not like the feeling after smelling the drug, but a sweet and relaxed feeling.

Toshiyuki Yasuzuna remembered a scene before he left Japan. When Yasutsuno got up in the morning, he saw Yuko, the youngest daughter of the potter Kusai, in the sowing fields in the countryside, and she was walking along the path with her burden. She is small, with a light body and a slender figure...... It was still early, and the planted crops had just emerged in the fields, and in the distance there were lilac outlines of layers of trees. It was felt that the girl would melt into the lilac silhouette in an instant, and disappear without a trace, as if there was no such person at all. An Ganglizhi is in a good mood at this moment, why do you recall that morning at this moment? Perhaps, on the contrary, it is precisely because An Tsunayuki remembers that morning that he is in such a good mood, right?

An Tsunayuki closed his eyes and stood there as if he was asleep. After getting off the boat, An Tsunade was as sleepy as a dog in the New Year. Probably because they gave An Ganglizhi the blood of the sleepy worm. He hadn't slept enough during the entire voyage, and now he had to make up for it. An Ganglizhi felt that a warm current flowed in his veins, which was very comfortable.

Suddenly, An Ganglizhi woke up, because not far from him, there seemed to be someone running by!

The man was very light, barely weighty, like a cloud of dust whipped up by a breeze. There was no shadow around, and there was no sound at all, but An Gangli knew very well in his heart that he couldn't take such a noise lightly.

He knew where he was, where he was.

An Gangli glanced at the clearing in the forest. The clearing was dry and covered with moss, and in some places there were small unknown flowers with purple dots, and on one side of the clearing was a dense jungle pressed by black. When he got here, An Ganglizhi saw clearly, it turned out to be a fawn. It stands out against the woods, with its light-colored silhouette on a dark background. After a while, as if playing, it jumped, and its four thin feet immediately took off into the air, and it sped along the sandy road beside the woods. It ran so briskly, with four hooves that it seemed that it could fly straight into the blue sky and run into the gossamer white clouds if it wanted to.

An Tsunade was relieved.

A deer is a deer and nothing else. It's time for him to go, or he'll not be able to catch up.

Towards noon, the sun's rays shone pale through the white clouds. There's no such hot power anymore. An Tsunade shook off the leaves and gossamer on his body. However, curiosity made An Tsunade stop again. Of course, the deer will not run around in the woods for no reason, and if someone frightens it, An Ganglizhi wants to see who it is. It was precisely because of An Tsunayuki's curiosity that Saigo Congdao transferred An Tsunayu to the reconnaissance unit.

"Probably they came back. However, it could also be raw, right? An Gangli secretly estimated in his heart, he still didn't dare to take it lightly, so he took off the rifle on his shoulder.

Although he was a midshipman and could own and carry a pistol, he received an additional rifle.

As an officer from a samurai family, he was supposed to bring his ancestral sword. But as a person who participated in the War of the Fall, he knew that in the face of firearms, no matter how good the knife skills were, it was useless. It was this time that he came to Taiwan, and in addition to bringing two revolvers, he also specially received a rifle.

A flock of unnamed birds with colorful coats screamed in a frenzy. They only bark like this when there are dogs or hunters under the trees.

The birds flapped their wings in the woods, jumped up and down on the branches, and called loudly, these were strange birds, full of flowers, and hearing their calls, An Tsunade had a strange feeling. He felt that the birds he saw were a symbol of good luck and bad luck, and they were harmful things (in fact, it was the ancestral spirit bird that was very respected by the people of Taiwan)!

A hunting dog appeared in front of him.
