On the blue sea, a fleet was speeding towards the morning light in the eastern sky, and the waves at the stern of the ship were surging and leaving a white wake on the calm sea, which was reflected in orange by the red morning light.

As long as you see the towering mast and the unique three triple turrets, anyone can shout, this is the "Jingyuan" battle cruiser.

To a certain extent, the "Jingyuan" battlecruiser had already become a symbol of the Chinese Navy during the naval battle in the South China Sea, symbolizing the life and glory of the Imperial Chinese Guards Navy, and at this time, the "Jingyuan" battlecruiser and the "Zhiyuan" battlecruiser, as well as six 1,000-ton destroyers such as sampans, were sailing in the East China Sea.

At this time, the masks of the main and auxiliary guns of the two battleships have been removed, and on the bridge and mast, you can clearly see the sandbags tied at the guardrails, and the sandbags are also tied around the guards around the one-pound marker "ping-pong cannon" on the outer edge of the gunwale, which is an emergency modification of the excellent surface of the torpedo boats in the South China Sea naval battle after the Zhenyang fleet returned to the Sanduao base, and the Makqin machine guns with a rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute are the only guys that can effectively attack high-speed mobile torpedo boats.

At this time, on the gun emplacements of these gun-type Makqin machine guns installed outboard, the gunners held binoculars in their hands and observed the surrounding maritime environment from time to time, while in the rear, the gunners operating the machine guns added their tails and made the appearance of being ready to fire their guns at any time.

There's no way not to be nervous.

Although now the Combined Fleet no longer exists, and on the seas of the Far East, there is no longer a force to oppose the powerful Zhenyang Fleet, especially this elite "First Cruiser Fleet", but today it is not more than usual, today they will enter the Pacific Ocean from the northern route and begin to carry out the task of naval blockade of Japan.

Four days earlier, the Imperial Admiralty had officially issued the "Embargo on Japan" for the first time, demarcating three no-sail zones at the same time, prohibiting the entry of merchant ships of any country, while the First Cruiser was responsible for sinking or capturing Japanese merchant ships in the second no-sail zone, while preventing foreign merchant ships from entering, and supervising the entry of merchant ships violating the ban into designated ports.

This time, instead of choosing the safety of the Luzon Strait into the Pacific Ocean, they chose to pass through the perilous Japanese archipelago, and perhaps although the main Japanese fleet had been completely destroyed, they still had a large number of small ships, especially those torpedo boats with small speed and tonnage.

As a result of the naval battle in the South China Sea and the surprise attack of the torpedo boats, this fleet will now maintain maximum vigilance at this time, and everyone will not dare to relax in the slightest, and the consequences of any laxity will be disastrous.

In the war room of the "Jingyuan," Tang Tingguang, who was famous in China for the First World War in the South China Sea and was a "famous admiral," was holding a cigar cigarette and spitting out smoke there.

"At 33 degrees north latitude and 129 degrees east longitude, this is a safe position, and at the same time we can shell Sasebo, but the fortress batteries near Sasebo cannot threaten us"

The cigar smoke was given by His Majesty during the audience in Nanjing, after His Majesty's Hospitality Dinner at the Imperial Palace.

"The food in the palace is not very good, but the cigar smoke is good"

Smoking a cigar and listening to the words of the chief of staff, Tang Tingguang opened his mouth and said, the royal food is not fragrant, just home-cooked food, but it is better than exquisite, and the important thing is glory, sitting at the same table, at the same table, and serving dishes with His Majesty, this kind of glory is not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

"It seems that Sir, you have made up your mind to bombard Sasebo this time, how about it, how many shots?"

Listening to the captain's words, Yang Shuzhuang resigned himself to smoking his cigarette, although he was also received by His Majesty, and he was also given the honor of the saber, but this cigar cigarette did not have his own share.

Taking a deep puff of cigar smoke, Tang Tingguang said with a lingering meaning.

"You don't know"

Holding the cigar between his fingers, Tang Tingguang looked at the chart and said.

"Last time, when Little Japan defeated Lushun, how many of us were killed? This time, I'm going to blow up 20 shells for Sasebo along Japan, city by city, Sasebo is too risky, there is one of the Japanese Navy guards, just those few torpedo boats, it makes you feel cold, this war is the same as doing business, at this time, be careful."

As he spoke, Tang Tingguang touched the back of his shaved head, this is the rule of the Guards, whether it is an officer or a soldier, everyone must shave their heads in wartime, whether it is in the Nanjing headquarters or in the mud pit on the front line of the army, everyone is like this. ,

"Last time, when His Majesty met me, he asked me if he could shell Japanese cities, of course, under the premise of ensuring safety, I replied to Your Majesty, of course there is no problem, this time, we are not only avenging the sun, but also to show Your Majesty, Your Majesty wants to make the Japanese bleed."

muttering in his mouth, Tang Tingguang really couldn't figure out how this Japanese had offended His Majesty and could make His Majesty hate it to the bone.

"Captain, Your Majesty wants to bomb Japanese cities, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as wanting the Japanese to bleed, I'm afraid you still want to put pressure on Japan, only in this way, we can have the upper hand in future negotiations."

Yang Shuzhuang truthfully expressed his opinion.

"You're young, you can see far, I just want to ......"

The finger drew another circle in another city.

"Here, this time, let's take the old hatred and hatred all at once, and we will fight for at least an hour, so let's treat it as artillery training."

Looking at the captain's fingers, Yang Shuzhuang's eyes closed and it was Nagasaki

Nagasaki is a famous port city on the west coast of Kyushu Island, Japan, Nagasaki is located at the western tip of Japan, and has been a bridge between China and Japan since ancient times. Nagasaki is a city of 200,000 people, and the city is built on some steep hills. Its harbor faces the East China Sea. Nagasaki is a port of particular beauty in the legend, especially at this time of year, when autumn is already in full swing and many of the leaves have turned red or yellow. The city center faces the harbor, and the Urakami River flows into the bay from the north. For centuries, Nagasaki has been centered on this area and expanded into various valleys, including the valley formed by the river, which is Nagasaki's industrial area and houses 90 percent of the city's labor force.

In 1571, the Portuguese helped transform Nagasaki from a fishing village into a major Japanese foreign trading port, importing tobacco, munitions, and Christianity. Because of the widespread spread of faith in Christianity, the Japanese government resorted to brutal measures to suppress it.

All the missionaries were either killed or forced to leave, but in the 17th century their 37,000 followers rebelled against religious persecution. They gathered around a fort near Nagasaki and, with the help of several Dutch ships, repelled the Tokugawa army, held out for thirty months, and were slaughtered almost all of them.

However, their faith has survived, and during Japan's lockdown period, Nagasaki was one of the few ports open to the outside world during the lockdown period, and Nagasaki is still a Europeanized, Christian-populated city in Japan, with a blend of Eastern and Western cultures, with many churches and church schools, and hundreds of Western-style houses.

"Sasebo was bombarded by the huge cannon of the Jingyuan"

"Jingyuan's giant cannon can flatten half of the city with one shot......"

In the past few days, the news of Sasebo's shelling by the Jingyuan and Zhiyuan has spread throughout Japan through the newspapers, and the personality of the Japanese is the same, and their character is extremely exaggerated, especially after the defeat of the combined fleet, which they regard as the "treasure of the empire", almost all the Japanese take it for granted that the reason why the combined fleet will fail is entirely due to the two hazy giant ships "Zhiyuan" and "Jingyuan", and some people exaggerate that the main guns of "Zhiyuan" and "Jingyuan" have more than 1,000 kilograms of shells. It only takes one shell to hit a huge ship like the Mikasa, Marshal Togo's flagship in the Battle of Tsushima, and it will be blown to pieces.

In their view, the defeat of the combined fleet is not because the officers and men of the combined fleet are incompetent, but because the weapons are inferior, and in the drawing room of the Japanese Navy's ship administration headquarters, there are even shipbuilding experts who began to plan "super battleships equipped with 12 giant guns of more than 15 inches" to be used against the "Zhiyuan ship" of the Zhenyang fleet, but in any case, it cannot change the fact that before the "super battleship" they cobbled together on the drawings did not appear and the combined fleet was not reorganized, the sea was Chinese, as for Japan, Now back to the sampan era.

"You're back"

As soon as she saw her husband in a hurry, Jiamei hurriedly greeted her, and if it weren't for a telegram from her husband before, she would have even thought about holding a funeral for her husband.

"Zoseburg was razed to the ground"

Kite merchant Keiji Morimoto took a sip of tea, and then said to his wife breathlessly.

He came back from Sasebo, when the train left Sasebo, he had seen a huge column of smoke rise in the city of Sasebo, and the deafening sound until this would still make him palpitate, glad that he left Sasebo half a day early, along the way, in the whole carriage, everyone was talking about the news of Sasebo's shelling, and later read what the newspaper said, only a few shots entered the city, causing more than 200 casualties, and the train did not believe it at all, in their opinion, this is just the government covering up the truth. ,

"Morimoto"

At that moment, there was a sudden shout outside the house, and several people left the house.

"...... of Jikawa, Matsumoto, and Wada"

Keiji Morimoto, who was standing in front of the door, saw three old friends coming, and hurriedly greeted him.

"It's okay, you're okay, Sasebo was shelled, some people said that the Jingyuan was rushing towards Nagasaki, and they were still preparing to shell Nagasaki, when you left Sasebo, what was the situation there, many people on the street said ......"

"Say what?"

Without waiting for Ji Chuan to finish speaking, Keiji Morimoto spoke.

"Don't believe what the government says, Sasebo has killed a lot of people, that's Jingyuan"

When he spit out this sentence, Keiji Morimoto remembered in his mind the "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" that he had seen when he was a child, the giant ship that made people's hearts palpitate, which was still engraved in his subconscious, and now it was Jingyuan, and this Jingyuan was not the Zhenyuan they were going to sink when they played games.

"I'm afraid next time it's Nagasaki's turn."

The elder Wada suddenly sighed.

"Do you still remember the incident when the Qing fleet visited 19 years ago?"

"Wada, do you mean the ...... when the Qing fleet visited Nagasaki in 19?"

At this time, everyone's faces turned pale, how could they have forgotten that they were still studying in the academy at that time, but they had cheered for the heroic deeds of those policemen.

"For the Chinese Navy, the Nagasaki incident 19 years ago was undoubtedly a great shame for them, and it will definitely be."

At this time, when he spoke, Wada's eyes were somewhat fearful, and in the eyes of others, Saseburg was bombed to the ground, and if it was Nagasaki, it would be all ......

"Shelling the ......"

At this point, a deafening explosion suddenly interrupted his words, and before he could react, the mountain suddenly shook like an earthquake, and then the window paper suddenly made a sharp noise as if it was blown by a strong wind, and then there was a bang, and the papier-mâché house even collapsed.

When a wisp of smoke appeared in the distant intercity, the Japanese lookout on the Umigake Fort picked up the telescope and carefully observed the smoke trail, and slowly a huge mast appeared in his sight, this telescope was a Chase high-powered telescope specially bought by the prefecture, otherwise he would not be able to see the smoke trail 20 kilometers away with the past telescope.

"Chinese fleet"

Although he couldn't see the flag on the battleship at all, he only needed to see the tall mast to recognize that it was the "Zhiyuan", which was like a demonic Zhiyuan ship for Japan.

"、、Be sure to sink Jingyuan,"

The gunners on the turret shouted excitedly, maybe the Zhiyuan ship was like a demon, but they believed that they could sink him, and there was never a battleship in the world that could confront the shore defense guns.

In their opinion, the reason why Sasebo was shelled was because of the problem with the arrangement of Sasebo's coastal defense artillery, and the batteries there were only arranged at the entrance to the bay, so there was no way to form a threat to the Yasuto in the open sea, but Nagasaki was different.

As early as 250 years ago, the lord of the Hirado domain, Matsuura Zhenshin, was ordered to set up forts in seven places, such as Daikotsu, Megami, Kanzaki, Shirasaki, Takahoko, Nagatoiwa, and Shadeo, and these forts were called "Kodaiba" or "Zailai Odaiba", and in the past 100 years, Nagasaki has added forts many times, so it can be said that after years of continuous construction, Nagasaki has been completely fortified, and after the Sino-Japanese War, the Uomidake fort was installed on the Dalian and Lushun from the Qing Dynasty, Weihaiwei captured four 12-inch ground guns, the advantage of this fort can be to guard the open sea.

"Squeaky ......"

As the machinery operated, the armor cover of the subsidence gun was opened, the heavy shells were loaded into the chamber, and the dozens of tons of gun body were pushed up by the toggle hoist, and the gunners began to wait for the ranging data in order to adjust the angle of fire of the gun.

"The enemy fleet turned around"

"Distance 19,000 meters"

…… How is it so far?

All the Japanese gunners on the battery were stunned, they looked at the enemy ships that they could not see at all, and just looked at them in a daze, and at this moment suddenly a roar shouted out from the lookout.

"Enemy ships ...... fire"

Dozens of seconds later, the gunners on the fort could clearly hear the whistling sound of a train passing over their heads, and after a while, they saw huge columns of black smoke rising one after another in and near the city of Nagasaki, although the distance was very far, but standing on the mountain, they could still clearly see that in the huge explosion flames, the Western-style theater was flattened, and there were ......,

"Prepare, put ......"

In the turret of the Jingyuan, with the repetition of the password, the main gun sounded again, and there was no difference from when they were training in artillery skills in the past, the only difference was that they could not get artillery guidance at all, and every round of shelling, the shells flew over the mountains and fell into the city of Nagasaki.

Longitude ......

In the fire control command room of the Jingyuan, the artillery officer held a map and a ruler, and carried out map operations there, and the shelling of Nagasaki was very simple, just working on the map, marking his own position, and then determining the direction of Nagasaki, and finally drawing a grid on the map for Nagasaki urban area, and selecting key targets for attack.

"Order Hai Reconnaissance 1 to take off for the first round of shelling correction"

In the bridge commander tower of the Jingyuan, holding a telescope in his hand, looking at the coastline dyed white by snow, Tang Tingguang said quietly.

The distance is long, but it does not mean that it is equal to blindness, and the map artillery operation combined with the aircraft reconnaissance and calibration can also hit a certain accuracy, maybe hitting warships, it is far from enough, but hitting the Nagasaki urban area, such a large target, there is no problem at all.

"Gamay"

In the rumbling explosion, Keiji Morimoto shouted loudly, blood continued to flow down his arm, his vision was shrouded in smoke, looking around, he vaguely saw his neighbor Kazuki holding a white object, and then looked closely, it was his daughter, and the arm of the girl in Kazuki's arms hung down, and blood flowed down her forehead.

"Hoo ......"

At this moment, there was another heart-pounding whistling sound in the air, and in the next moment, a seismic explosion accompanied by a loud noise came.

"The school, the national school was hit ......"

Suddenly, a scream came from the crowd, and the people who were originally looking for their relatives in the ruins were stunned at first, and the next second almost everyone ran in the direction of the school, but at this time, Keiji Morimoto saw a black dot in the air, and the black dot was buzzing in the air.

"It's an airplane"

"Murderer"

For some reason, when the surrounding people found the plane, they all shouted loudly at the sky, but the plane just circled in the air and then disappeared into the air.
