The Guangzhou Industrial Base and the Huizhou Industrial Base were the key points of the Provisional Government and the main targets of the Japanese attack, while the steel base on the coast of Huizhou was the core, and near the port of Huizhou, the number of coastal defense artillery increased again. 105 mm, 155 mm, 288 mm caliber artillery, 105 mm howitzer Huizhou military factory has been successfully imitated, can be mass-produced, successively equipped to the troops, its wide range of applications, the army's artillery brigade, the navy's warships, coastal defense have its figure. The 155-mm and 288-mm guns can now only be produced from the steel base, and the original eight large-caliber coastal defense guns near the port of Huizhou have now increased to eighteen.

Guangzhou, Shantou, Zhanjiang and other areas with ports and shipyards also placed coastal defense guns, especially in the Guangzhou area, the number of shore defense guns reached 30. Coastal fortifications were built in coastal areas close to shipyards, ports, industrial bases, and other key protections, but these were only to prevent the bombardment of Japanese naval guns and protect the industrial core.

Guangdong has a long coastline, and it is impossible to protect all areas, and Lu Liang's original plan was to put the Japanese army in to fight. Then the problem comes again, Guangdong is densely populated, the industrial bases of Guangzhou and Huizhou are not very far from the coastline, and the landing of the Japanese army at any point will have a huge impact on Guangdong, and the battlefield needs to be very large for hundreds of thousands of people.

Fortunately, as early as a month ago, the Investigation Bureau received confidential information from the Japanese branch: the landing site has been determined, Guangzhou Bay Humen! The girl lurking in the mansion of Youpeng in Yama County, the genetic intelligence officer got not only the landing location of the Japanese army, but also the scale of the landing, the size of the fleet, the name of the army division, and the landing plan. No one would suspect that a fifteen-year-old girl who is proficient in the tea ceremony, and has all the documents that can prove her identity, family history, neighbor evaluations, etc., is actually an elite agent, the code name of the Investigation Bureau: Black Widow!

After the independence of Guangdong, Lu Liang ordered the construction of coastal defense fortifications, focusing on Guangzhou, Huizhou and other places, and Humen was not taken seriously. This is mainly due to the limited production capacity of the steel base, Humen, as the gateway to Guangzhou, if the production capacity of the military factory and the steel base increases, it is necessary to build strong coastal fortifications here.

It's useless to say more, since Humen didn't have the fortifications to block the Japanese army, then let them in to fight, so that the battlefield needs to be cleared, fortunately, the vicinity of Humen is an important border town, and the population is very small. Under the strong organization of the provisional government, more than 4,000 ordinary people in Humen Town were relocated, and the small number of people was conducive to the work of secrecy, but it was impossible for Japan to have no internal lines in the Humen area, and the action of relocating the people would definitely be detected by the Japanese side.

According to the information obtained by Lu Liang, Japan's choice to land at Humen was the result of careful investigation and careful consideration. There were no decent fortifications in the Humen area, the revolutionary army put only one regiment here, and the landing force was hampered very little. Humen Town is very close to Huizhou in the east and Guangzhou in the west, and belongs to one of the core areas of Guangdong. Humen is the gateway to Guangzhou, and as long as it is controlled, Guangzhou's escape route from the sea will be cut off. The Japanese made a thorough plan of action according to the selected landing site, and all preparations were made for the Humen landing, and even if the Japanese side detected the transfer of the people from Humen, it would take a long time for the transmission of information to be transmitted, and this era was not the time when wireless telegraphy was everywhere, and it was very expensive, except for the big tyrant who had a steel base, other countries did not popularize wireless telegraphy and cable telegraphy even in the army.

Now that the landing site of the Japanese army has been determined, the preparations must be carried out around the town of Humen. The 3rd Division of the 1st Army moved to the Dongguan area; The 1st Division of the 2nd Army arrived at Zhangmutou Town on the east side of Humen, the 2nd Division arrived at Xie Gang Town, and the 3rd Division arrived at Longhua Town; The 2nd Division of the 3rd Army arrived at Qishi Town. Around Humen Town, there are already five divisions with nearly 70,000 officers and men. Thanks to more than two years of uninterrupted road construction, there are convenient cement roads in all directions around Humen, plus a large number of trucks and jeeps, and the surrounding divisions can reach Humen within an hour.

Facing the great powers for the first time, although it was only a relatively weak Japan, it was also Japan, the sworn enemy of China, and Lu Liang couldn't hide the excitement in his heart. He also wanted to dispatch naval warships and submarines to bombard Japan and prevent Japanese soldiers from landing on Chinese soil, but for the sake of long-term planning, he could only let the Japanese go in to fight. Guangdong's strength is relatively weak, and those warships are advanced enough to attract the attention of the outside world, if the great powers target Guangdong and send out coalition forces again, then the blow to Guangdong will be too great.

On April 14, 1902, the Japanese Combined Fleet arrived in Taipei, Taiwan, and continued to advance after adding water and coal to the ships. The six divisions of the Japanese army were organized into two armies, with the commander of the First Army, Kuroki, as General Zhen, the commander of the Second Army, General Okubogong, and the commander-in-chief, Field Marshal Oyama Iwa.

"Admiral Kuroki, the First Army will be the first landing force in this operation, so please be sure to control the Humen area and immediately expand in depth. The 2nd Division marched to Guangdong, the 3rd Division marched to Huizhou, and the 4th Division took control of the Humen area to meet the landing of the 2nd Army. Oyama Iwa and the army top brass stood in the command room prepared for the army top brass, the flagship of the Combined Fleet, Fuji, and pointed to the map and said to everyone.

"Congratulations, General Kuroki, if nothing else, my Second Army will be useless, and the First Army will be able to defeat the Zhenguo Army and occupy Guangzhou and Huizhou." General Ao Baogong said in an envious and jealous tone, although the words were sour, everyone thought it was also the truth. From the trembling during the First Sino-Japanese War, to the self-confidence of the allied forces during the invasion of China, to the arrogance of today, the Manchu army has boosted the morale of the Japanese soldiers with their performance. Everyone thought that the Guangdong Revolutionary Army was vulnerable, and that the treasures such as the steel mill and the military factory were actually given to Japan by Amaterasu -- the combat goal was not a secret, and the low-level soldiers knew that they had come to Guangdong to rob the factory this time!

Da Shanyan felt the need to remind his team that the enemy's strength was weak, but it was not a good thing for the command to be full of feelings of underestimating the enemy: "General Ao Baogong, the Second Army is not useless, and the decision of Lord Youpeng in Shan County to dispatch six standing divisions shows that the Zhenguo Army still has a certain combat effectiveness." According to intelligence, the Manchu Qing sent 50,000 troops to encircle and suppress the Zhenguo army, but they were completely annihilated. Now the Zhenguo Army has 100,000 soldiers, and the equipment is also very good, so you still have to pay attention to it! ”

"Hey! The marshal's lesson is taken to heart! Everyone immediately nodded in response, but it was impossible to say whether they took it seriously or not, and Dashan Yan also knew that a few words could not change everyone's minds, and he himself did not believe that the Imperial Army would fail.

"Marshal, the Imperial Japanese Army is invincible, this time we want to let those pretentious people in the Navy see the strength of the Army, and the Empire still has to rely on the Army to compete for interests!" Kuroki said loudly.

"Yes, the machine guns and artillery of the Zhenguo Army are trophies prepared for us, a strong army is not equipped with advanced weapons, and the inferior people are not worthy of those advanced weapons at all, nor are they worthy of such a rich land. When we defeat Russia, we can continue to push forward with the 'continental policy', and in the near future we will be the masters of this land!" Lieutenant General Nishikuan Jiro of the Second Division shouted.

In the crowded cabin of the transport ship, Ichiro Oshima was spitting and boasting about his experience to several young soldiers: "The pig is as soft as a fish ball, and it will break when you pinch it." At that time in North Korea, I was a newly enlisted private, and I also held a single-shot rifle in my hand, and from Pyongyang to the Yalu River, I only fired three bullets, and the rifle was stuck in the bayonet and hit all the way, and I did not meet any decent resistance at all. Speaking of which, it was still in Lushun Shuang, my military cao asked our detachment to practice assassination with a branch of the pig, and the rest of the people hesitated, only I stabbed into it without hesitation, and the blood sprayed my face, and the branch man screamed like a pig. Do you know that Juncao rewarded me with a woman for my bravery, hahahaha, that is the proudest memory since I became a soldier. ”

"Oshima Juncao is so brave! I will also kill the people of China like a military cao, for His Majesty the Emperor, and kill the people of China! Several of the recruits were enthusiastically boiled and shouted, and deafening shouts began to be heard throughout the cabin.

Another military cao touched Oshima and whispered with a smile: "Of course it's cool to kill people, but robbing money and women is the most important thing, right, Oshima-kun?" ”

"Soga, two years ago, we were too strictly imprisoned in the war, and we had no chance to get rich, watching foreigners snatch it, so much money! After I went back, my wife didn't talk to me for three days about it, and in the end, I taught her a hard lesson. ”

"Of course, women have to teach a lesson, but we as men should also earn more money to support our families, this time I didn't hear the upper echelons say that it is forbidden to get rich, I even heard that fifty percent of the looting will be handed over, and the rest can be left, although I don't know the accuracy of the news, but it should be about the same, this time you can grab more money and women, recall that we were all recruits during the First Sino-Japanese War, and we couldn't let go, and the money was snatched away by those chiefs, this time I have to have a good time!"

"I heard that Guangdong is rich, the rice and grain can't be eaten, there are chickens, ducks and fish everywhere, and ordinary farmers have silver in their homes, which is like heaven compared to our hometown!" There were more and more people around the big island, and the conversation between the two gradually spread, and the robbery of money, food, and women became the hottest topic in the cabin.
