Hu Chuyuan inspired the Chinese Navy in his way, ready to deliver a heavy and powerful blow to the book!!

At the same moment, the commander-in-chief of the second battle team of the combined fleet, Goro Ijiin, was also thinking worriedly, and he did not sleep all night, as the commander-in-chief of the second battle team, he knew very well...... The main direction of attack of the Chinese Navy can only be Ryukyu, not Nagasaki.

However, he also understood that once the main warships of the main fleet of the combined fleet arrived in the Ryukyus, the main force of the Beiyang Fleet, which was gathering in the port of Dangjin in Korea, would suddenly move south to attack the Goto Islands and Tsushima Island, and then send troops to Nagasaki.

There is no way to ......!

The total tonnage of the Chinese navy has exceeded 750,000 tons, and there are more than 33 10,000-ton warships, which is a powerful force that the Russian navies combined cannot resist.

Unless, Ben's submarine tactics can produce a larger-scale effect.

At this moment, Ijiin Goro knew very well that all he could rely on was the 34 submarines secretly assembled in Jinwu Bay Harbor in his hands.

In 1891, the empire began to secretly implement a submarine strategy, in 1893 it introduced the Gustav-class submarine design from France, and in 1895, it began to formally build its own submarine force, which was gradually produced at a rate of six ships per year.

There are a total of six types of submarines, the largest tonnage is 1,250 tons, the smallest is 330 tons, the largest number is the Yi 110 class, the underwater displacement tonnage is 1,075 tons, the attack radius has reached 720 nautical miles, and it can attack the waters around Shanghai from Jinwu Bay.

This is the most advanced submarine in history.

The rest of the I-30, I-50, and I-70 were produced to protect the I-110 class and ports, and were not the main submarines attacking the territorial waters of "China".

During this time, several I-50 class submarines were lost, but they did not damage the foundation of the Ryukyu submarine base, and Ijiin Goro was not very worried, he just felt that the deep-water submarine mines that the "Shina" were mainly using now were a bit tricky and not so easy to deal with.

This night, Ijiin Goro tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and he felt more and more that an oppressive atmosphere was enveloping him.

At dawn, the sky is slightly bright.

Suddenly a sharp and piercing siren sounded at the Jinmu Bay Naval Base, and rows of bright red signal flares burned in the distant sky, just in the direction of the Jinjian Island outpost.

Ijiin Goro nervously immediately turned over and jumped out of bed, and the phone rang at the same time, and he grabbed the phone urgently.

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, a large-scale naval ...... of China has been discovered in the southwestern seas The main fleet group, the specific number ...... not known for the time being! ”

"What?"

Listening to the voice on the other side of the phone, Ijiin Goro had a creepy feeling, and even couldn't believe it, after deliberately exposing part of the submarine force, he just hoped that the Pacific Fleet would be in a hurry to attack the Jinmu Bay Naval Submarine Base.

Outcome...... It seems to have backfired, he thought.

…… In order to directly attack the port of Jinwu Bay and at the same time bypass the submarine surveillance that could have been set up, the Pacific Fleet bypassed the Taiwan Strait and attacked from the Philippine waters.

The real news may make Yu himself despair.

Hu Chuyuan is precisely a person who likes to use a knife to kill chickens, and the fleets held by the Chinese armed forces in the Philippines and Sumancia have also drawn elite forces and organized them into the Nanyang Combined Fleet, which will concentrate on Haiphong and the Strait of Malacca to contain the French navy.

In order to cooperate with this operation, the Nanyang Combined Fleet also drew out four Fuzhou 2-class ironclad ships, 6 Fuzhou-class ironclad ships, 4 Guangwu-class cruisers, 14 Chunyu-class destroyers, 11 Weijiang 2-class defense ships, and more than 40 auxiliary landing ships to form the Third Fleet of the Nanyang Combined Fleet.

It's nothing, Hu Chuyuan just plans to annihilate the second combat team and submarine force of the Navy here...... Although the conditions for the total annihilation of this submarine force are still somewhat immature.

The two sides have completed their rendezvous at the Tropic of Cancer at 125 degrees east longitude, with the Pacific Fleet serving as the First Fleet, the main headquarters, a number of cruisers and destroyers serving as the Second Fleet, responsible for mine clearance, minelaying, and antisubmarine operations, and the South China Sea Joint Third Fleet being responsible for assisting in defense and landing operations.

The First Fleet Group of the Pacific Fleet consists of 14 10,000-ton warships with a unified 305mm caliber 45 times main gun and 75mm caliber secondary guns.

The Jinzhou class and the Weiyuan class are both 22,500 horsepower steam turbine units, and the maximum speed advantage is obvious, but unfortunately, the six Ningyuan class are installed with 17,750 horsepower reciprocating steam units, even if they have been carefully maintained, and just underwent a comprehensive overhaul last year, they can only maintain an average maximum speed of 17.5 knots.

Considering this problem, the First Fleet Group uniformly entered the theater of operations at a speed of 17 knots, while the Second Fleet accompanied the rear of the two wings and some outposts, responsible for anti-submarine and mine clearance.

The siren sounded in the waters of Jinwu Bay.

The garrison navy has always been on high alert, and a large number of small warships have been quickly activated to guard the two entrances to Jinwu Bay.

The Pacific Fleet and the Fujian-Zhejiang Corps have been operating on Ryukyu Island for more than 10 years, and the local garrison fortifications have always been very tight, but by the time they fully retreated to the mountainous areas, they had already blown up all the local garrison fortifications and batteries, and they had not yet had time to repair them.

It was said that it could only rely on a large number of small gunboats, frigates, and torpedo assault ships to carry out defensive operations.

However, when Ijiin Goro stood in front of the command post on the high hill and looked at the "Shina Offensive" in his heart with a telescope, a kind of utter despair suddenly exploded in his heart.

For the first time in his life, he experienced what true despair and terror were like.

Itishinoin Goro could not have imagined that the "Shina Offensive" was so strong, with at least a hundred warships and an equal number of auxiliary ships, and half of the large number of auxiliary ships belonged to specialized landing ships and naval transport ships, with an average displacement tonnage of more than 3,000 tons, and all of them had a certain degree of self-defense artillery.

That's impossible?

Why are there so many?

Ijiin Goro suddenly had a premonition that this war was over...... China's industrial system and production capacity were too large, and when the First Sino-Japanese War ended, they should adjust the national strategy of the Great Empire.

The sound of artillery had already sounded, and the pioneer Pacific main fleet was only a kilometer away from the coastline, and in the rumbling cannons, the fire was shining, and at least sixty 305mm caliber guns roared together.

Bang bang ......!

A continuous wave of explosions sounded on the shore and beach, setting off an astonishing fire, and a large number of incendiary bombs and flowering shells almost tore the entire shore and beach into countless pieces, and the artillery force of the garrison army could not compete with it at all.

The shelling had just begun, and the line of attack of the giant artillery was rapidly extending to the hinterland of the military port, and almost all the military barracks were within the bombardment range.

Ijiin Goro felt that his whole body was very cold, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Everything in front of us was already like hell, but this was only the beginning, and more "Shina offensives" were still to come, with a large number of cruisers and destroyers laying mines around the perimeter to stop the onslaught of the small ships.

A loud bang erupted in the sea at the harbor, causing a torrent of waves and flames from the bottom of the sea...... There is no doubt that a submarine touched a deep-water mine in the process of breaking out.

As the supreme commander of the Ryukyu base, all of Ijiin Goro's fighting spirit was wiped out by this loud bang.

The submarines could no longer rush out, and there were only seven submarines patrolling the outer waters, which was not enough to pose a threat to the Pacific Fleet.

It is said that the navy has six second-class battleships, more than 10 cruisers, and more than 70 small and medium-sized warships in Jinwu Bay Port, the total number of which is not low, but the total displacement tonnage is less than 170,000 tons, and even with the addition of more than 30 submarines and auxiliary ships, the total tonnage does not exceed 250,000 tons, while the Chinese side also has a 500,000-ton warship group not counting the auxiliary fleet.

The scale of the difference is simply too large, and if you count the temporary firepower of the auxiliary fleet, the gap between the two sides is even greater.

The waters of Jinwu Bay were attacked by dense artillery fire layer by layer, and the small groups of ships could hardly find room for maneuver, and the battleships and ironclad ships that were rushed to the forefront of the Chinese side withstood the main artillery fire of the Japanese side and were extremely difficult to be defeated, while the second squadron of the combined fleet continued to sink battleships.

A large number of destroyers could not break through the blockade line, could not give full play to their maneuver advantage, and were surrounded by the main warships of the Chinese Navy and bombed in the bay.

Once again, the cannon decided everything.

Some of the warships began to use a mixture of chemical weapons, but this is the sea, the sea breeze is strong, and the use of chemical weapons is not appropriate, and the actual hit rate of shells in naval battles is not high, which is just a choice for this in the case of pure no choice.

Lin Yongsheng asked part of the fleet to use mustard gas shells imported from Germany and domestically produced light chlorine gas shells to fight back, but the main force still used time-delayed armor-piercing shells and flowering shells to fight back, striving to destroy more enemy ships.

Wolf smoke rolled on the sea, the sea was full of corpses, warships on both sides were constantly sunk, and many submarines tried to break through the blockade of the destroyers, but they successively touched some secretly developed magnetic and controlled submarine mines.

In the absence of mobile surnames and tactical arrangements for naval warfare on both sides, strength ultimately determines everything.

After the naval battle between the two sides lasted for two hours, and it was said that more than half of the warships of the Second Squadron of the Combined Fleet had already been lost, at this time, under the cover of a number of ironclad ships and defense ships, a large number of auxiliary ships began to carry out landing operations.

Under the cover of artillery fire, hundreds of already prepared landing craft quickly rushed to the beach, and tens of thousands of soldiers from the Fujian and Zhejiang Corps, the Pacific Fleet Marine Corps, and the Nanyang Reading Force rushed to the beach, and a large amount of baggage equipment began to be transported to the beach.

Ye Bojun fought hard, this was originally the defense line of the Fujian and Zhejiang Corps, and he accidentally let him take it away, and now, he wants to take it back with his own hands.

He is the descendant of Hu Chuyuan's lineage, has service experience in both the navy and the army, and is the founder of the Marine Corps, he strongly asked to personally command this large-scale landing battle, and Hu Chuyuan approved it without hesitation...... Really put him as the commander-in-chief.

He fought.

With the mood of making meritorious contributions, and with the determination to avenge the 6,000 brothers of the Fujian and Zhejiang Corps.

He took the lead, followed closely behind the first batch of charging columns, landed on the beach, set up a command post on the spot, and transferred the 601st and 602nd regiments of the 19th Division, the most elite under his command, to advance along the Tenglian harbor beach.

The tongue of fire in the fortified bunker was violently noisy and bursting, and it was the tongue of fire of the Habekaisi heavy machine gun, which was eating away at the lives of Chinese people one after another.

The 14th Division of the Chinese Army was stationed on the Tenglian Harbor Beach, divided into four horizontal trenches and blockade lines, the beach line had collapsed under the attack of the fleet artillery, but the three lines of defense behind it were more tight.

Ye Bojun was like a battalion commander, personally commanding two columns to attack in a roundabout way from the southern beach mouth defense line.

The artillery wing of the 14th Division was still carrying out artillery cover, a large number of poison gas shells were vented on the forward positions, and the white fog waves continued to bloom, sweeping away all the lives in the surrounding area.

Chinese soldiers have had enough of these chemical weapons, and unlike when they first encountered them, they are now issued with enough chemical suits and gas masks, and they are armed with a variety of new weapons, such as mortars, grenade launchers, flamethrowers and light Browning machine guns.

Almost all of the commanders on the front line have received a good modern military education and have sufficient experience in exercise training, and they have constantly used portable mortars and grenade launchers to destroy pillboxes in Yuben, organized fire-breathing companies to sweep the Japanese front, and organized small-scale assault teams to charge with light machine guns.

The 14th Division of the Japanese Army was like falling into hell, once it was torn open by a platoon of troops, the light machine guns mounted in large numbers by the Fujian and Zhejiang Corps were like life acquisition machines, which could kill all the soldiers in the entire trench in just a dozen seconds.

The Navy is also carrying out suppressive strikes on the positions of the artillery wing, and the enemy uses poison gas bombs, and they also use poison gas bombs, not only poison gas bombs, but also a large number of incendiary bombs.

If you don't treat others as human beings, they will never treat you as human beings.

Yue Jun has only now finally realized what it is like for others not to treat them as human beings.

Of all the new light weapons, mortars and light machine guns are the most staggering, especially light machine guns, which are equipped with one in each squad to hold their positions, prevent enemy counterattacks, and also rely on them to take positions.

In the small-scale contest between companies, the various companies of the Fujian and Zhejiang Corps and the Marine Corps of the Pacific Fleet were all rapidly interspersed with breakthrough tactics, using telephone devices laid at any time to call for rear artillery cover, using mortars to carry out fixed-point strikes, and then using various squads equipped with light machine guns to break through and constantly encroach on the opponent.

Everything is in accordance with the instructions given by Hu Chuyuan...... Leaving no prisoners, they traveled lightly and quickly, occupied the port of Jinwu Bay as quickly as possible, and forced the second team of the combined fleet to surrender.

According to this principle, the Pacific Fleet did not organize a forcible attack to avoid being severely damaged by the submarine force in Jinwu Bay, but used the numerical superiority of the giant artillery to suppress and strike at the navy, forcing the navy to be unable to effectively rescue the army.

After seizing Tenglianling, Ye Bojun quickly placed the command post in the old fort camp halfway up the mountain, spread out the command map, and the staff officers around him kept counting the progress of each column (the Qing army still has no battalion-level settings, a column is a column, and the artillery usually belongs to the reinforced column to emphasize the core position of the artillery unit).

The engineering battalion had already put the telecommunications equipment in place, and through the radio, Ye Bojun could finally contact Hu Chuyuan and Lin Yongsheng directly.

He couldn't wait to send a secret telegram to Hu Chuyuan, telling Hu Chuyuan that before dark, he would be able to seize the entire Jinwu Bay.

Ye Bojun doesn't talk nonsense, he uses his head as a guarantee.

"Dog, kill you little ones!"

After sending the telegram, Ye Bojun punched his fist in disgust, and suddenly shouted, "Fang Shengtao!" ”

"In!"

A young officer suddenly stood up from the conference table.

Ye Bojun pointed to the artillery camp of the 14th Division of the Chinese Army on the map, and said to him: "Take your 603rd Regiment to attack from the southern front, be sure to seize this Yuna City artillery position, if you can't grab it before dark, you come to see me with your head." ”

Fang Shengtao saluted without hesitation and said, "Don't worry, commander, I promise to complete the task." ”

To be honest, he was quite excited in his heart, he originally thought that it was just the task of Yao Jianping's 602 regiment, but he didn't expect that the 603 regiment given to him was temporarily added.

All right.

Fang Shengtao couldn't wait to receive the military order, immediately put on a steel helmet and ran out of the command post, mobilized the 603 regiment that was left in place and was on standby, and quickly followed the 602 regiment forward.

At this time, in addition to the 604th and 605th regiments added last year, as well as the attached brigades of the 19th Division, the three main regiments of the 19th Division of the Fujian and Zhejiang Corps were all taken out by Ye Bojun to fight.

His three main regiments are all equipped with the latest weapons, and even the rifles are all Browning 10-round rifles urgently transported from the United States, and some elite companies, each squad is equipped with two light machine guns, which are specially responsible for charging into battle.

It is very difficult to charge with light machine guns, only a few well-trained and strong soldiers can do it, but as long as they can do it, for him, these light machine guns are hell and death.

Ye Bojun was pushing forward all the way, killing people without blinking, and he didn't want to blink.

At this moment, he must not hesitate, even if he let the iron army that has been trained by one hand rush out to block the gun's hole, he cannot hesitate, and the road paved with the blood of Chinese soldiers is ...... will go straight to the door of victory.

This is war.

This is the Sino-Chinese war, and no one intends to let the opponent leave the Ryukyu Oshima alive, and it is each other's fate to step on the opponent's corpse and become the first in Asia.
