Chapter 207: Positional Warfare

In the northern part of the Bohai Sea of the Chinese Empire, Deng Shichang raised his binoculars to look at the Japanese ships transporting soldiers to Korea, these are some merchant ships converted from warships, the artillery on it is no longer the Krupp cannon imported from Germany at the beginning, but the artillery made by Japan itself, this kind of artillery because the material is not up to par, and Japan, which lacks tungsten ore, cannot make qualified barrels at all.

These troop carriers were almost unprotected by warships, and the troop carriers departing from Sasebo, Shimonoseki, Fukuoka and other places seemed to be crazy, and they were simply desperate to flee to Korea.

At the beginning, Deng Shichang also led the Second Combined Fleet to intercept and sink a number of Japanese troop carriers, the soldiers on these troop carriers did not have any intention of surrendering, and at the beginning, the soldiers of the Chinese Empire were not polite, and went directly to the bottom of the sea from them.

But Deng Shichang is a little bit uneasy, after the Japanese troop carrier that rushed over and sank recently, some Japanese soldiers began to ask for help, that kind of unique "male duck voice!" The sound was very obvious.

These are all children who are still in the stage of voice change development! This shows that the current Japan has begun to push their teenagers to the battlefield, and in the face of these children's cries for help, Deng Shichang is very difficult.

On the Second Combined Fleet, there were many American and British officials, and their hearts were full of humanistic care, and most importantly, these Japanese young soldiers who fell into the water were shouting "Help!" in English. ”

Deng Shichang was born as a young child in the United States, so of course he could understand what these Japanese teenagers were saying, but the Chinese sailors could not understand these voices of surrender and cries for help at all. Heavy machine guns, submachine guns, all sorts of pistols and lion rifles sank these Japanese young soldiers.

Now the American naval officers quit, and they all found Deng Shichang to talk about; "In accordance with the Convention on International War of the First International Tribunal, we are going to rescue these prisoners of war. However, this convention is led by the Chinese Empire, and now the navy of the Chinese Empire is taking the lead in violating this convention, which is a manifestation of irresponsibility, and we will definitely go to the international court to sue you.

This made Deng Shichang very embarrassed, he was very aware of the consequences of this incident, and told this group of angry American officers; "Our time to replenish supplies is too difficult, and we simply can't help so many people in the far sea!"

American officer Joseph. Enki said; "It's all excuses! I'm like a telegram from the Navy Command now, if Marshal Ding Ruchang doesn't accept it, I will report to the General Staff, has it always been called "the state of etiquette!" "Are the Chinese Empires all lies?

Deng Shichang immediately ordered the warships to withdraw from the combat area, and now seeing these troop transports passing through the Korean Strait, transporting supplies and personnel back and forth, Deng Shichang did not dare to attack easily.

So now Deng Shichang is most anxious to find the main Japanese fleet, which is the combat mission of the Second Combined Fleet of the Chinese Empire, but since the Japanese fleet led by Ito Youheng appeared in Vladivostok. After Moyama captured Vladivostok, it disappeared.

In the waters of the North Sea of China, the Japanese fleet had only three ways to go, the northernmost was the Diagonal Strait between Sakhalin Island of the Chinese Empire and Hokkaido, Japan, where there was a retreat of the Fourth Combined Fleet fleet of the Chinese Imperial Navy and local coastal fortresses to guard.

And even if Japan captures this strait, it will face the interception of the First Combined Fleet of the Empire. More importantly, Japan will completely lose its sea supremacy in the North Sea of China, so the current Japanese Combined Fleet will not choose this path.

The second is to pass through the Tsugaru Strait between Hokkaido and Honshu, Japan, and then go to Tokyo, Japan, and where they are, join up with the Japanese Royal Escort Fleet, so that they will temporarily maintain a little advantage.

But this plan would also be tantamount to abandoning the Japanese Army in Korea and Vladivostok, and it is very likely that the Japanese would have done so in order to protect their deified emperor.

Another possibility is that by the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea, almost half of the economic and industrial centers of the current Chinese Empire are located on the eastern coast, with a large population, cities with a population of one million are now blooming all over the coast, and the number of cities with a super-large population of more than five million has grown to 27.

Needless to say, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xiamen and other super-large cities, so Deng Shichang concentrated superior warships to cruise in the Bohai Sea, that is, to defend the eastern coast and block the Japanese combined fleet, as long as they can be found, then resolutely destroy this Japanese combined fleet.

On January 23, 1895, the regent of Joseon, Yi Zheng, who had restored the name of Joseon, brought his son Lee Kun to the tent of Yuan Shikai, who was commanding the battle on the front line of Kaesong, and Yuan Shikai and his generals greeted the king and regent of Joseon outside the door.

After learning that Yi Xi had changed the name of the country, the Chinese Empire had acquiesced to what Li Zheng had done, and now the Koreans in Silla Province still could not accept the fact that Korea was annihilating the country, so in order to stabilize the situation in Silla, the Ministry of the Interior and the Nanjing Cabinet recognized Yi Kun, the new king of Korea.

After Li Zheng saw Yuan Shikai, he first held Yuan Shikai's hand in tears and cried, Yuan Shikai has been in North Korea for many years, and he is very familiar with North Korean affairs, and he can only be comforted in the face of this old man's crying!

At this time, Li Zheng and Li Kun suddenly knelt down in front of all the officers of the Chinese Empire and the staff officers present, Li Zheng said; "Marshal! Send your troops! The restoration of Korea is counting on you, you are the reborn parents of the Korean Kingdom! ”

After Li Zheng finished speaking, he bowed down and slammed his head on the ground!

Li Kun and his father knelt on the ground together, and all the generals of the Korean Silla militia at the scene also knelt behind their own governor, who was also the king of Korea. At the scene, there were many high-ranking generals and staff officers of the Chinese Empire, who were kneeling in the middle by more than 80 Korean officers.

Primordial immediately squatted down and spoke to Li Zheng; "Lord Wang, Governor Li, you are like this in this Shou Li, how can I bear the anger of you! Hurry up!

Li Zheng said; "Marshal! If you shouldn't send troops to recover North Korea, the old man is kneeling here! ”

At this time, a large number of high-ranking generals, such as all the commanders and division commanders of the Silla militia, also shouted in Chinese; "Please, marshal, give orders! We, the Silla Railway, the Third Army, are willing to take the lead! ”

"Marshal! Our Sixth Army is willing to take the lead! Let's go for it! ”

Yuan Shikai had no choice, so he immediately ordered his chief of staff, Wang Shizhen, to immediately call Shang Rongqian, chief of the General Staff, and Tan Sitong of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as Tang Shaoyi of the Nanjing Ministry of National Defense, to send a telegram and make a phone call.

The first to reply was Tan Sitong of the Ministry of the Interior, who directly issued the order of the Bright Emperor on the phone from Yuan Shikai's headquarters, Tan Sitong said; "The Emperor of the Empire ordered that the new king of Korea, Li Kun, and the new regent Li Zheng, immediately set off for Jingshi, and the emperor will personally crown the king of Korea!"

Li Zheng knew that this was recognized by the Jingshi, and with the support of the Guangming Emperor, the restoration of Korea would definitely become a reality, so the two set off to the Jingshi with their own guards.

Subsequently, Shang Rongqian of the General Staff also sent a telegram, and Shang Rongqian's telegram was very simple; "Everything is going according to the original plan, don't change it casually, it will cause unnecessary trouble!"

The telegram from Nanking also arrived, in a word; "Listen to the General Staff!"

In the early morning of January 24, 1895, 200,000 militiamen from Silla began to prepare to advance beyond the trenches.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, when the soldiers on the front line were eating breakfast, the howitzers of the Chinese Empire roared in unison, and the piercing sound of breaking the air broke Chen Jing at dawn, and then the sound of popping beans sounded in the ears of every soldier.

The shells fell to the ground, like water droplets falling on the ash, splashing a large pit, and after many water droplets fell, the boundaries between the pits also disappeared, and the whole land was deeply ploughed by the shells, and the soil became very soft.

The commander of this expedition was Lieutenant General Lu Yongxiang, who led two divisions of the regular Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, plus militia units assembled in Silla and Mukden, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Rehe and other provinces, and began the first return offensive.

At this time, it was still a cold winter, and these Japanese soldiers on the front line were now not short of warm clothes, because of the severe plague that broke out in the Japanese army now, many people died, and the dead did not have to wear so many clothes. So these Japanese soldiers wore a lot of single-layer clothing, and even this could not stop the invasion of the cold.

The army of the Chinese Empire was very messy, because the various systems were very difficult to coordinate, and the development level of the provinces was also different, the best was the militia of Fengtian, they were the richest in this province, wearing down liners and dark green tweed coats on the outside.

Lu Yongxiang's regular army was also equipped with fur coats, because the production was very urgent, and there was no time to dye the fur into army green, so the leather surface of the coat was covered with army green cotton cloth.

Most of the other militia wore cotton or chemical fiber coats, often covering the calves, which could also block the cold in the snow and ice.

Both coats are very warm, but the fur coats of the royal army are heavier, so the soldiers feel that the coats of the royal army are the best, so now the militia of the provinces are most handsome to wear fur coats.

The militia of Silla were the first to cross the trenches of the defensive line, and like the other militias of the empire, most of them wore cotton coats, but they were still able to maintain their agile movements, which was good in the morning!

One person has a box of canned luncheon meat, and each person also brought two boxes, one pack of cigarettes per person, the marshal This is a manifestation of hemorrhage!

Japanese artillery fire began to return fire, and deadly tongues of fire began to erupt from Japanese firing points in various low-security and trenches.

Many of the soldiers who rushed to the front began to descend in pieces.

This is the soldier who rushed to the front began to lie down, and then, using grenadiers and submachine guns, began to return fire, and the artillery and heavy machine guns that were advancing gradually behind also began to return fire.

Dashan Yan did not expect that the Huaxia Empire would attack at this time, but he quickly made a decision to send the Emperor of the Korean Empire, Li Xi, to Japan first, because the Meiji Emperor of Japan met the emperor of the Korean Empire very much!
