Chapter 196: The King of the New Ryukyus

In 1894, that is, on July 1, the first year of the Chinese Empire, with the first rays of morning sunshine, the Japanese troops stationed in Naha did not see the sunlight, and the cannonballs sent by the Chinese Empire flew all over the sky, and the island attack troops in two directions began to log in.

The vanguard was two regiments, the landing ships opened the rear warehouse, all the soldiers began to change to small boats, and the marines began to attack Mie Castle and O Raza Mori Castle, at which time the Japanese troops in the fortress began to return fire, and used 205 mm heavy fire.

Lin Zengtai didn't expect that at this time, Japan still had such heavy firepower that was not exposed, and this was a mistake in the rear fire support, so he immediately adjusted the gun position and began to counterattack the Japanese army's firepower point, and the Japanese army's firepower was dumb after firing three shells!

The attack on Miejima was led by Ma Kancai, whose army boats stopped on the beach, and under the cover of artillery fire, they set up infantry guns and heavy machine guns before the Japanese could effectively counterattack. Then squatting where to wait for the arrival of the loading locomotive.

In the process of logging in, each regiment was equipped with a dozen taels of locomotives, and the soldiers followed behind the armored vehicles, at which time the ship's artillery fire continued to penetrate inland. As the smoke clears. The Chinese Empire was gradually able to see the Japanese positions in front of them.

It was the opposite position where gunfire sounded, but there was no heavy machine gun and infantry gun fire as expected, as if it were the sound of a single soldier's rifle. That's when the grenadiers that each squad will be equipped with come into play. One soldier held the grenadier and another assisted, and after a loud bang, the gunfire in front of him disappeared.

As the marines advanced, the marines of the Huaxia Empire found a piece of broken corpses under their feet, and the place that was originally a trench was densely covered with Japanese corpses, could these guys all die like this!

When the Marines reached the center of death, they met real resistance, these were permanent fortifications built underground, the fire ports were very hidden, and when the Marines came into fire coverage, the Japanese began to return fire, and the guns of these pillboxes at sea could not help at all.

Japan's sneak attack, so that the Chinese Empire's marines suffered great losses, this is the result of no combat experience, this is the Chinese Imperial Marine Corps equipped with mortars played a role, artillery can run at a high angle of elevation, that is, can hit the back of the mountain,

However, because the bunkers were very strong, each bunker had to fire two or even three shells to completely capture it, so the process was very slow, which was very ignorant of the Chinese Empire.

At this time, Shang Tokuhong, who attacked the Oga Mori Fortress, sent a telegram to the headquarters, and he asked for more gasoline, because he issued these bunkers with tunnel links, and using gasoline to burn them was a good method!

In fact, a staff officer at the command headquarters also put forward a plan, that is, to use special artillery shells, these tunnels are very low, so the use of conventional chlorine shells can reduce the casualties of our soldiers!

At this time, all the officers looked at Lin Zengtai, this kind of thing everyone knows about poison gas bombs, and now the Chinese Empire has formulated very strict regulations, unless it is forced to do so, it is not allowed to use this special shell casually, so Lin Zengtai did not dare to decide on his own, he reported the situation here to Liu Buchan!

Liu Buyun looked at these reports, and then rubbed his bald head vigorously, during this time Liu Buyun was completely transformed, under great pressure, his First Combined Fleet was formed, and this Sino-Japanese war is the best test.

Liu Buyun saw the report of slow progress, and was very annoyed in his heart, now Liu Buyun's biggest dream is to find the main fleet of Japan as soon as possible, so that Japan can take a good look at the power of the Qinglong battleship, but the naval command has left two naval fleets to recover these small islands in the remote area of the East China Sea, which is really overkill!

Therefore, he did not hesitate to order the logistics support troops to immediately deploy special shells to the front line, which should be able to take this Ryukyu Island quickly, all means can be used, and soon gasoline and special shells were transported to the hands of the island-attacking troops on the front line.

Jin Bihui saw Liu Buyun's order and knew that this was not the time to talk about feelings, so he ordered the troops to start using special shells on the premise of paying attention to safety, and the marines began to use these shells at this time to explode in various pillboxes and strongholds in Japan!

The dark green gas filled the Japanese position, and the soldiers of the Marine Corps slowly advanced with gas masks, and these Japanese troops who could not breathe began to rush out of the bunkers for the orders of the commander, but as soon as they rushed out, they ran into the soldiers of the Marine Corps and sent them home!

At this time, the Japanese guard general "Silin Kedao Daisa" ordered to eliminate the Ryukyuan people on the island, these people will definitely slander Japan in front of the Chinese Empire, so we can't let such a thing happen, and I think that he is and sent out, and the time has come to be loyal to the emperor! ”

The Japanese soldiers who received the order began to massacre the Ryukyuan people on the island, and since the war between Japan and the Chinese Empire, these Ryukyuan people have been closely monitored, and as the situation deteriorated, the Japanese simply built concentration camps on the island, where these Ryukyuan people were concentrated and forced to labor, and those Ryukyuan people who had already been obedient people were also concentrated here.

Originally, agriculture on the island was not very developed, and the economy of the island was mainly supported by trade, but after the outbreak of the war, the economy of the entire Ryukyu Island was very difficult, which made the life of the concentration camp very miserable.

Shang Yan, who was originally a prince, was also in this concentration camp, and when he heard the sound of artillery fire coming from the seaside, he knew that the army of the Chinese Empire was coming at this time, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, and he was very clear about what was going to happen next, if he didn't do something, no matter which side won, all this meeting had nothing to do with him, the prince.

So he began to contact his comrades in the camp and began to prepare his next steps.

The Chinese Empire, the first year of Guangming, June 5th, today is the fifth day of the war, although the Chinese Empire has used all the existing weapons, but these difficult Japanese spirit makes every Marine very difficult to surprise.

Obviously, seeing that these guys have been buried in the soil, when they come to him, these Japanese soldiers can still jump out of it and sneak attack the members of the marines, which makes the soldiers have to be very careful every time they take a step forward.

So the speed was very slow, and on the fifth day of the attack, the marines finally attacked the capital of Naha, the original royal palace, and this building was also the administrative organ of Naha, where the troops of the Chinese Empire encountered suicidal resistance, and these Japanese took off their shirts and held samurai swords, and rushed towards the soldiers of the Chinese Empire.

This made the soldiers feel very strange, a shuttle bullet, these people themselves fell to the ground, at this time the soldiers tore off the original plaster flag, and raised the national flag of the red background gold dragon and the white background blue dragon naval flag!

Looking at the national flags flying in the sky, the hearts of the soldiers were very encouraged, this is not the time to be safe, there are still many Japanese troops on the island who have not been eliminated, and they are still resisting. And there is no concentrated firepower anymore, but it seems to be everywhere!

At this time, the Marines began to search for Japanese soldiers throughout the city, and what was seen by the Marines was a tragic scene, not only many Ryukyuan people were killed, but many Japanese were also killed, and it was clear that the Japanese soldiers themselves did it.

The Japanese soldiers who defended the island had almost run out of ammunition, so they didn't even have the bullets to kill their own people, they used kitchen knives, wooden sticks and other primitive weapons to execute their relatives and families, but in the vicinity of these corpses did not see the bodies of the Japanese soldiers themselves, it is obvious that these demons did not commit suicide after killing their own families!

Jin Bihui ordered the entire main island of Ryukyu to begin a pursuit of the Japanese, Ryukyu Island is a long and narrow island, Naha is in the southernmost part of the Ryukyu Island, at this time the Japanese island guard officer "Si Lin Ke Dao Daisa" with his remnants began to gradually retreat to the northern city of Nabito.

But when they came to Nabidu, there was also a scorched earth in front of them, which had been bombed several times by the Imperial Navy, and the defenders here had been almost wiped out by Liu Yongfu's marines.

Looking at the dragon flag fluttering in the distance, Si Lin Kedao Dazuo knew that his last moment had come, and he handed his saber to a Japanese soldier next to him, and this soldier understood what the commander meant!

After kowtowing to the north, Si Lin Kedao Dazuo sat down cross-legged, and then committed suicide by caesarean section with his own short knife, suicide by caesarean section in Japan is a very sacred thing, if the conditions can be, there will be a wrong person by his side, and the role of the wrong person is to end his life at the last moment of the disembowelment!

Si Lin Kedao's internal organs had already flowed out, at this time Si Lin Kedao was already sweating profusely, his body was spasming, he raised his head hard, looked at the warrior who had already raised the knife, and wanted him to nod, this warrior also nodded, and understood what Si Lin Kedao meant.

The moment he lowered his head, the sharp katana cut his neck, his head rolled on the ground a few times, his body fell to the ground, and the soldier bowed to his corpse on his knees!

At this time, the members of the Chinese Imperial Marines had already chased in front of them, looking at the marines of the Chinese Empire who surrounded them, these Japanese ice automatically surrounded the city in a circle, and at this time a Japanese soldier stood up and spoke in Chinese; "In order to show the bravery of the soldiers, we propose a one-on-one duel!"

At this time, Liu Yongfu, who was closest to here, arrived, and seeing such a situation, he raised his pistol and killed the Japanese soldier who could speak Chinese with one shot, and the soldiers of the Marine Corps who surrounded him all opened fire at the same time. All the Japanese soldiers did not fulfill their last wish, because these people are still unworthy!

Then Liu Yongfu said; "Don't hesitate, love war, we still have a lot of things to do, if you don't surrender, destroy on the spot!" This Ryukyu Island was cleaned up for more than a month, and few Japanese surrendered on their own initiative, and the Ryukyu inhabitants of this island were almost killed, many of whom were slaughtered before Japan was completely wiped out!

The Marines found very few Ryukyuan people in the mountains and forests, including Jin Bihui's second brother, who could speak Chinese, and the clothes on his body were not killed on the spot.

When the two brothers met, everything was silent, neither of them could speak, only hugged each other and cried, and at this time all the Ryukyu soldiers could not suppress the excitement in their hearts.

Just when Jin Bihui was still sad, Liu Yongfu, who was in charge of supporting the troops, came, and although he was moved to see such a situation, he still focused on the task!

He shouted loudly; "General Kim! You'd better wait to catch up later! Start the established plan immediately, we can't delay too long here, you must know that the coast of the empire is almost unprotected by warships, and Heilongjiang Province is now very dangerous, and the fleet is about to go north! ”

At this time, Jin Bihui realized that he still had something to do, so he let go of his brother and said, "Second brother! You organize the Ryukyu people now, and we can restore the country! ”

Then they followed Liu Yongfu, and they were about to arrive at the "Qinglong battleship!" "When I came up for a meeting, and when I came to the battleship Qinglong, all the officers on the ship were wearing military uniforms, and many of the generals were glittering with gold!

After seeing that all the people came, Liu Buyun said; "General Jin Bihui, please come forward!"

Jin Bihui came to the middle, stand still!

At this time, "Renyuan ironclad ship!" Captain Lin Yongsheng said: "The commendation order of the Military General Staff of the Chinese Empire!

In view of General Jin Bihui's outstanding performance in the battle, he is hereby crowned as Vice Admiral of the Chinese Empire! Awarded a purple ribbon and a gold medal of the Ascending Dragon! ”

Lin Yongsheng handed over the letter of commendation and appointment to Jin Bihui, and at this time, Liu Buyun awarded Jin Bihui a ribbon and a medal!

Then Lin Zengtai said; "Commendation Order of the Ministry of the Interior of the Chinese Empire! Awarded the golden ribbon and awarded the White Jade Dragon Medal! ”

This time, it was Ye Zugui, the captain of the "Liyuan Ironclad Ship", who wore a ribbon and medal to Jin Bihui! ”

Then there was the applause of the senior officers on each ship, as well as the cheers of the soldiers on the battleship, and then Liu Buyun began to signal everyone to be quiet!

Jin Bihui is going to speak!

Jin Bihui said; "My dearest brothers, we have experienced so many things together, how many times we have been born and died, how many times we have shared honor and disgrace, and the results of practice have proved that no matter what time it is, the Chinese Empire is a place full of compassion and justice, and the most kind people are born in this hot land of China.

However, there is Japan, a villain country that does not know the height of the sky, does not know the courtesy, righteousness and shame, and does not know how to respect teachers, killing and plundering, bullying the weak, and inhumane beasts. It took more than 2,000 years for our Chinese imperial culture to completely civilize him, so it can be seen that Japan is a white-eyed wolf!

Today I have everything is your help, on behalf of the Ryukyu Kingdom, thank you, thank you, colleagues, Ryukyu will always be a part of the Chinese Empire, and Ryukyu will never leave the Chinese Empire! ”

The soldiers' shouts shook the sky, and they were very excited!

The officers are all in the command room!

Liu Buyun took off the ribbon on his body, he was a two-color ribbon, and the medal on his chest was too much, very heavy, and no one looked at it anymore when he came to the conductor, he unloaded the medal while talking to Jin Bihui; "When are you going to resign!"

Jin Bihui didn't speak, but took out the cigarette on his body, smoked one himself, and passed the rest to the other officers!

After Jin Bihui lit his cigarette, he looked at Liu Buyun and said; "How many troops can you leave me!"

Liu Buyun also took out a cigarette and said: "At most, the official establishment of one battalion!" But you can have as many weapons as you want! ”

Jin Bihui said; "Ryukyu must not be like before, it must be focused on defense, and the establishment of one battalion is definitely not enough!"

Liu Buyun said; "You know that, too! The current situation is very serious, the left precious of North Korea is already shrinking its forces, and Seoul is now in danger!

There is also Vladivostok, the Fourth Fleet is completely lost, this is the other three fleets He is strong, it is the Fourth Fleet that is the first to suffer the blow, and now Marshal Li Hongzhang, the pressure is very great!

The Senior Administration Yuan has impeached him three times, and asked him to immediately hand over the command of the navy and report to Nanjing in detail!

If it weren't for the emperor under pressure, the result would be really hard to say, so our time is very tight!

Jin Bihui said; "Then I want two warships!"

Liu Buyun said; "That's even worse!"

After taking a hard puff of his cigarette, Jin Bihui said with a frown; "Then you say you can give me as much as you want!"

Liu Buyun said; "Equipment for up to two regiments! Couldn't have been more! ”

Jin Bihui threw the cigarette butt on the ground, then stood up, and spoke; "Good! I resign! ”

At this time, a staff officer came over, this is a resignation document, Jin Bihui signed his name on the document!

Liu Buyun said; "The Ministry of the Interior, the capital of Nanjing, and the people of the Imperial Court will come to Ryukyu soon, and then you will be the king of the Ryukyus, leave me an island!" I want to be the owner of the island!

Jin Bihui said; "Give me another regiment of equipment!"

Liu Buyun looked at this former colleague and said; "No, but I'm just going to be the owner!"

Jin Bihui did not answer Liu Buyun's words, but stood up and walked outside, from then on he was no longer a general, and at this time the new king of Ryukyu was born!

Jin Bihui's army was continued to be commanded by Liu Yongfu, and the fleet was going north immediately, and now the situation in the north was quite unoptimistic!

。。。。。。

On July 30, the first year of Guangming, almost the entire territory of Korea fell into the hands of the Japanese, leaving only some small cities around Seoul and a little resistance, after two months of evacuation, the current Seoul looks very desolate, and the original large city with a population of more than one million has almost become an empty city.

Many Koreans have withdrawn to Silla with the new Korean army, and now that Zuo's army has exchanged fire with the Japanese army, Zuo's greatest concern these days is whether those special troops have returned.

On July 28, the combat team of the last special detachment, also under the full cover of the covering troops, returned to Seoul with all wounds, and at this time Seoul had entered the final defense battle.

At this time, there was another gunshot in the direction of the Korean palace, at this time Min Yongyu still did not give up, he wanted to rescue the king of Korea, and his own Gugu Min concubine, but the Japanese Oshima Keisuke was a beast, and after so many days, the living people in the Korean palace were almost dead.

Especially if the eyes are not clear, Kim Dae-kyun and Kim Young-sub, after they saw the Japanese cannibalism, they completely collapsed, and wanted to apostatize again, but this time Keisuke Oshima did not agree, so he killed two people immediately, and maybe the bones were long gone.

This made the Fifth Army of the Korean New Army inside start to resist, but it was suppressed by Keisuke Oshima, who had been prepared for a long time, and this Fifth Army of the Korean New Army was taught by the Japanese, so the bodies of these New Army soldiers were also used by the teachers to feed their stomachs!

After about thirty minutes, the gunfire stopped again, and seeing that Min Yongyu had failed again, and many corpses were added around the palace, and the current Joseon royal palace had been built into a fortress by Keisuke Oshima.

At this time, the sound of artillery also sounded around Seoul, and the Japanese Second Front began to attack, and the Urn Fortress south of Seoul was the first to be attacked by the coming Japanese, which was a tentative attack by Japan, and there must be a large number of troops behind him.

Seoul, like many big cities in the Chinese Empire, is built into a square to make the layout, but in the overall form to be one size smaller, North Korea's Seoul used to have an outer city, but with the passage of time, in the first year of the Chinese Empire, the outer city of Seoul has long disappeared, leaving only the inner city and the simple palace.

But at this time, Zuo Guigui relied on the few things, and he would still come, and under the urn city, more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers were gathered, and these soldiers did not take the soldiers of the Chinese Empire in the city in their eyes at all.

Along the way, they almost did not encounter any decent resistance, and many large cities in front of them were surrendered without a fight, which made the Japanese very arrogant, and the Japanese soldiers gathered more than 3,000 people under the city began to prepare for the siege.

They formed a neat formation, came to the bottom of the city, and deployed infantry guns, mortars, grenadiers, and other weapons.

The high walls were originally the best protection for the city's civilization, but since the introduction of trebuchets, the resistance of the city walls has declined, and the Mongol "Huihui cannon" has captured almost all the cities it can reach.

Since the artillery, the effect of the city wall has become even worse, these Japanese soldiers came to the bottom of the city wall, began to adjust their artillery position, ready to open the city gate or city wall, because they smelled the smell of food and meat in the city!

Zuo Guigui, who was on the city wall, saw all this and told Zhou Lemin; "What gave Japan such self-confidence, that they should come to the city, and our submachine guns at this distance can completely cover them!"

Zhou Lemin raised the telescope, looked at these human soldiers below, and said; "It's usually ignorant people who are so meaningless, so they can't be blamed at all!"

Zuo Guigui said; "It's okay! I see that there are more than 3,000 of them, and the tuition fees for these people to come as the first lesson of study are not expensive! ”

Zhou Lemin said; "105 mm grenades, the firepower of one artillery battalion, is enough!"

Zuo Guigui said; "Good! Let the artillery battalion fire with all its might, and be sure to let them know the price of underestimating the enemy! ”

At this time, the Japanese infantry artillery had already sounded, and the shells fell on the walls of Seoul, and a large pit was knocked down in the city walls, and the bricks in the outer layer fell off, revealing the rammed earth layer inside!

Then the Japanese artillery fire sounded one after another, looking at the dusty Seoul, the commander of the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Front Army, Yamaguchi Sutomi was very satisfied, such an attack speed, before dark, Seoul would cease to exist.

But at this moment, there was a continuous, huge sound of breaking the air in the air, many Japanese soldiers had never heard such a dense sound of breaking the air, and they didn't know what was happening, but Yamaguchi Sochen knew.

Yamaguchi Suchen ordered to lie down immediately, but by this time the shells had already fallen on the positions of the Japanese army, and the bombs exploded one after another, and many people themselves experienced the force of the gas shock wave, and under the effect of this force, they all flew into the sky, but when they fell, if they were still alive, they found that they were missing some parts on their bodies.

Yamaguchi Suchen was thrown to the ground by the guards around him, his even had no time to dodge, and now his mouth was full of dirt, but at this time he couldn't care so much, Yamaguchi Suchen's ears kept hearing the sound of cannonballs exploding, and these cannonballs gradually stopped after half an hour.

Smoke is rolling on the battlefield! The pervasive smell of sulfur, the sizzling sound of burning grease, and the screams of soldiers who had not died, but were seriously wounded, the entire battlefield reappeared like the hell of Shura on earth.

Yamaguchi Suchen got up from the ground with difficulty, and saw the scene in front of him, what to do at this time, how could this be, what happened, what was the army in front of him, there was such artillery fire.

None of this mattered, now the most important thing was to save yourself, the Japanese who were not injured began to save their robes, and Yamaguchi Susen's reserves began to come up, and they began to rescue their wounded comrades while returning fire towards Seoul.

No one expected that only ten minutes after the last shelling, the continuous sound of breaking the air sounded again, and the shells in the sky drew a graceful arc, leaving a flash of white traces in the air.

What is this for! Is there really so many shells in the Chinese Empire?
