When Terauchi Masahiro received that the Gangdong and Gangnam areas had been occupied by the Dragon and Tiger Army, and that more than half of the defenders in the two places had been lost, and they had fled to the Dongseong area of Pyongyang, his first reaction was not to mobilize troops to block the menacing Dragon and Tiger Army from the north and south, but to lead the 300,000 puppet troops in the Dongseong area of Pyongyang to retreat quickly.

With the intention of retreating, how can Terauchi Masatsuki still come up with a practical and effective battle plan? All I could think about was an escape plan.

When he convened an emergency meeting of the commanders of the puppet army, before he could speak, countless commanders had already asked for the withdrawal of troops, most of whom were commanders of the Korean puppet army.

Before the Taedong River was in danger, with an army of nearly 500,000, everyone still barely had the determination to resist, but when the Dragon and Tiger Army had already crossed the Taedong River in the north and south, and the two armies combined exceeded 400,000 and were approaching the Pyongyang area, even if they still had 300,000 troops under their hands, they could still feel the strong pressure that made them breathless.

This is the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army's victories one by one, large and small, with the accumulation of the corpses of the puppet army.

I can't say what it feels like, but everyone knows that if they stick to Pyongyang, they will end up with hundreds of thousands of corpses and flee in defeat, just like on the banks of the Yalu River.

So, under the leadership of Terauchi Masatsuki, the 300,000 puppet troops left, and they walked cleanly, not even caring about the 70,000 or 80,000 puppet troops who fled from the Gangdong and Gangnam areas to the Dongseong area of Pyongyang, but just sent a telegram to them before leaving, asking them to turn around and evacuate to the southeast!

From beginning to end, the more than 400,000 puppet troops retreated after only resisting for half a day, and a battle that was supposed to be a great war came to an end in the form of a tiger and a snake's tail.

While Lin Zhengnan, Nie Yuanzheng, Pang Wai, and others were stunned, they ordered the 100,000 dragon and tiger troops in Pyongyang's Xicheng District to cross the river, and on the other hand, they ordered the more than 300,000 dragon and tiger troops who had already crossed the Datong River to launch a pursuit of the puppet army.

However, it is not a sworn pursuit, but a symbolic pursuit to avoid the puppet army being cornered and fighting against the water.

This pursuit, which was not a pursuit battle, lasted for three whole days, and it was not until the Dragon and Tiger Army occupied Songduseong (present-day Kaesong Grand-City) in Korea that it was declared over.

At this time, the Dragon and Tiger Army was less than 200 miles away from the Han Dynasty, the capital of North Korea, in order to avoid the desperate gamble of North Korea and the Yue Army, plus the more than 100,000 reinforcements of the Yue Army had also arrived in Seoul, under the order of Wang Jundao, the Dragon and Tiger Army stopped at Songdu and did not continue to attack!

Wang Jundao knows a very good truth, in a short period of time, he can invade the land of North Korea, and he can include the northern part of Korea into the territory of China, but he cannot completely destroy the country of Korea.

Encroaching on land and destroying the country are two different things!

Encroaching on the land of other countries will at most only attract criticism and accusations from other countries, after all, which powerful country has not invaded the land of other countries in this era?

How many other countries' lands has Russia encroached upon over the decades?

How much Mexican land has the United States encroached upon in these decades?

How much land has Britain occupied in Asia and Africa over the past few decades? Not to mention the distance, South Africa, which has been invaded and occupied in recent years, is the best example!

And Germany, Italy, France, Ben, Spain, etc., which has not encroached on the land of other countries?

As long as you're strong enough, you can invade any country you want!

Everyone thinks almost the same, as long as you don't harm my interests, which country do you invade and occupy my business?

Especially now that China has grown into a behemoth with a fierce attitude, no country would dare to support such a small country as North Korea without considering the consequences.

Because the DPRK has no interests worth their hands on.

There is no interest in helping North Korea, and Wang Jundao's invasion of North Korea has not harmed the interests of any country in Europe and the United States except for harming the interests of the capital!

So no country would risk giving far more than it gets to help North Korea deal with China.

However, if China wants to destroy North Korea, it will definitely cause a huge sense of crisis in other countries, and it is likely that an anti-war alliance will be formed to expedition to China, just as the fascists wanted to destroy other countries during World War II, resulting in the vast majority of countries in the world forming an anti-fascist alliance!

Therefore, Wang Jundao chose to stop in the north of Seoul, the capital of North Korea, and in the next period of time, he completely occupied and digested the northern part of Korea, and included all the areas north of the 38th parallel in history into China's territory.

For Wang Jundao, what has been 'eaten', if you want me to spit it out, there is no door!

If you don't accept it, you will take the weapon and grab it, as long as you win me, you will take it back, if you can't beat me, or you will be defeated by me again, hum, I'm sorry, not only will I not return the land I have occupied, but I will also intensify it.

This is Wang Jundao's view.

In the next half a month, Wang Jundao defended Songdu with 300,000 troops and swept through northern Korea with 200,000 troops.

During this period, due to rumors that the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army was likely to land from Busan, the first seaport in Korea, Emperor Meiji sent more than 200,000 troops to the Korean Peninsula, bringing the number of troops on the Korean Peninsula to as many as 500,000.

At the same time, Emperor Meiji also sent a combined fleet to patrol the Korean Strait at night, and if it encountered the Chinese fleet, it would suffer heavy losses or even annihilation, and it would fight to the death.

However, this seemingly wise decision of Emperor Meiji turned out to be the most stupid act for the Chinese fleet.

The 'ghost' submarine force, composed of 18 submarines of various types, led by Hwang Jong-ying himself, shuttled back and forth in the Korean Strait, launching a ghostly sneak attack on the combined fleet and auxiliary fleet.

The submarine forces that launched an attack from the bottom of the sea have completely turned into ghost messengers, specializing in creating sunken ghost messengers for the main fleet and supply fleet.

In less than a month, 40 ships of various types, including 11 warships and 29 transport ships, were sunk, and the total tonnage of the ships sunk exceeded 2 tons.

However, the Combined Fleet did not even see the shadow of the 'ghost' submarine force, and such a strange thing cast a shadow of fear over the United Fleet, which originally thought it was the number one naval fleet in the Western Pacific.

What kind of enemy is the most terrifying?

The answer is not an invisible enemy!

It's an invisible enemy who can constantly cause death for your side!

Because no one knows if they will die next.

In the face of death, it is possible for a proud person to die generously, but the fear of being killed by the enemy at any time can make a true warrior completely collapse in the end.

Today's Combined Fleet is such a 'person' who is about to collapse!

Although the entire navy knew that the 'enemy' who caused death was the submarine force, even so, the sense of fear did not decrease, but on the contrary, it increased.

Who would have thought that the submarine forces of this era would be so powerful?

You must know that even naval powers such as Britain, Germany, and the United States do not have their own submarine forces today, and the few submarines they have can only be used for defense, for laying mines, clearing mines, and at most for coastal defense, and they cannot attack at all, let alone attack from a long distance.

Could it be that China's submarine forces have advanced to the point where even Britain, Germany, the United States, and other countries are far behind?

Yamamoto Gonbei, Minister of the Navy, did not know why the Chinese Navy had such advanced submarines, and Togo Heihachiro, commander of the Combined Fleet, did not know when the Chinese Navy had cultivated such a submarine force.

How did they know that in history, the submarine force really changed from defense to offense, and specialized in attacking the fleet and fleet on the surface of the sea from the sea, that was during the First World War, that is, more than ten years later, and Wang Jundao's submarines were more advanced than during the First World War, and of course it became a nightmare for the combined fleet and fleet.

Although they didn't know this, they all knew that if the Combined Fleet did not fight with the Chinese fleet in an upright manner, they were afraid that in the future, before they encountered the Chinese fleet, they would have completely collapsed and lost their combat effectiveness!

They also know that no matter whether or not this naval battle is won, at least from now on, as long as the submarine force does not develop a submarine force that can compete with China's submarine forces, or can find a way to restrain the submarine forces, the combined fleet will never be at peace!

However, Wang Jundao would not give Yuben a chance to develop a submarine force, because after the 'ghost' submarine force had already seriously damaged the strength of the Yueben Combined Fleet and seriously damaged the morale of the Yueben Navy, the Chinese Navy fleet was dispatched.

This time, Wang Jundao used all the warships, plus the 'Jiaolong' fleet, the naval fleet had a full 136 warships of all types, which was a full double the size of the combined fleet!

The Chinese fleet sailed out of the Bohai Sea and out of the Yellow Sea to the Korean Strait, and declared war on the Navy!

In just three days, the Chinese fleet attacked three convoys of transport and supplies bound for Pusan, sank more than 12 transport ships of various kinds, and captured 14 transport ships loaded with supplies.

Under such circumstances, Gonbei Yamamoto and Heihachiro Togo, who had already decided to go to war with the Chinese fleet, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and after convincing Emperor Komoto, they mobilized all the warships in the country, a total of sixty-nine, to form a combined fleet, and decided to fight to the death with the Chinese fleet.

Although the combined fleet is far smaller than the Chinese fleet in terms of numbers, in the past three years, three 10,000-ton battleships have been ordered from Britain one after another, and now the combined fleet has four 10,000-ton battleships, while the Chinese fleet has only one 10,000-ton battleship, and it was repaired and converted from a 10,000-ton battleship of the captured Russian Arthur detachment.

Therefore, although the combined fleet is inferior to the Chinese fleet in numbers, it is more numerous than the Chinese fleet in terms of large-tonnage warships.

For example, the Combined Fleet has nine warships of more than 7,000 tons or less than 10,000 tons, while the Chinese fleet has only six.

Of course, the Chinese fleet also has an advantage, that is, the warships that have been refitted, and the power of naval guns on warships of the same class is far greater than that of the combined fleet, and the overall speed of the Chinese fleet is also higher than that of the combined fleet.

The most important point is that the Chinese fleet is twice as large as the number of the Chinese fleet!

Therefore, in terms of overall strength, the Chinese fleet is far larger than the Yueben fleet.

Under such circumstances, a sea battle between China and China completely kicked off in the Korean Strait at 12 o'clock at noon on October 30, 1**4!
