"! When did Little Japan become so spineless, just run, and don't say hello at all? ”

Yang Hao led people to the north to chase all the way, the Japanese army kept destroying the bridge along the way, and the remnants of the defeated soldiers dragged the artillery to retreat frantically. Because of the nighttime, most of the troops who were recruits did not dare to go straight into the depth, and when they came to the shore of Guzhenkou Bay at dawn, the Japanese troops all hurriedly climbed into the boats and ran to the sea at the risk of being overturned!

The Japanese army's subordinate ships rushed over to strengthen the defense, and together with several fast ships, they resisted the attack of the five gunboats, and quickly transferred the remaining army soldiers onto the ship with full operation.

It doesn't matter what the organization is, even whether it's a battleship or a troop carrier. As long as you can get people up.

A similar situation happened on the other side, when it was light, there were hardly any Japanese troops left on the shore, only the houses that had been set on fire and the messy camps along the way, indicating that they had been here. And as always, all the bad things are done!

Yang Haiwei was furious! He personally rode the X201 boat, and after meeting the other ten gunboats at sea, he vigorously chased after the retreating Japanese ships.

This time, Ito Yuhiro learned to be obedient. He put all the ships with combat effectiveness in the back, and put on a dead posture to block the way. The rest of the auxiliary ships and transport ships took the opportunity to flee to the northeast, running as fast as they could, as long as the boiler did not burst, then keep running!

Yang Haiwei bombarded from the periphery without sparing ammunition, and countless 76mm grenades exploded one after another on the hull of the solid "Nanisu", but it was always difficult to break through its armor and cause fatal injuries.

Just when he wanted to transfer the "Dongsheng" over, he desperately suffered heavy losses. I also want to give the other party a complete extermination. Far on the sea. Straight up a bunch of battleships. It included the British Far East Fleet, as well as the ships of the French and Americans and even the Germans.

Their posture is not shy about coming towards the center of the battle, and the meaning of stopping the pursuit is unobstructed, and there is a possibility of taking advantage of the opportunity to attack the black hand.

"Bastard bastard for the tiger! Hmph, let's write down this account first, and then slowly calculate it later! ”

Yang Haiwei let out a sullen breath and led all the ships to return to the harbor and hid in the harbor.

If these ships are not projected over. It's a self-made B plane or completely like X201, and he doesn't need a rat trap at all.

In the same way, if it weren't for the fact that the shipyard equipment and workshops were also projected, the damage caused by the excessive severity would be presented on the body of the world, and he would not have to worry about being shelled and it would be difficult for him to let go.

This situation must be improved as much as possible. Battleships need to be built, factories need ships, projection can only bring temporary convenience, and the long-term foundation must be consolidated here little by little. Sure enough, not everything can be opportunistic. They still have a lot to do and a long way to go!

Seeing the pursuing ships quickly retreating. Rushing to the British warship "St. John" at the front, Rear Admiral Perletman raised his chin proudly and boasted reservedly: "The deterrent power of the British Empire is indeed the most powerful force on the sea." If we hadn't arrived just in time, those poor children would have almost died. ”

Next to him, the British minister to Japan, Chu Enchi, breathed a sigh of relief and sighed sincerely: "If they can be more competitive, they don't have to work hard for us to make trouble." I have to admit that the British Empire's decision to make a choice seems to have been made a little earlier. ”

The urging of the Far Eastern Fleet to intervene in the battle was made in a hurry after Chu Enchi became aware of the Japanese movement. Pelletman, who had only intended to watch the excitement from the sidelines, was unimpressed by this decision, insisting that the war only required a decisive outcome between the two sides. The British Empire's incessant involvement in it will only make things worse, and it is more likely to lead to a sharp deterioration in relations between China and Britain.

But Pelitman was only an admiral, not a diplomat. He had no room for comment on the decision made by the London side. At most, a few sarcastic grumbles like you just did.

Chu Enchi was very glad that he decided to do it in time. As minister to Japan, he clearly felt the abnormality of Japan's enthusiasm for war. The arrogance caused by the army's unexpected successive victories, and the navy's madness of fighting a mysterious enemy, two completely different atmospheres were entangled, but they seemed so harmonious to the Japanese.

With the sensitivity of a diplomat, he felt that this small country, which seemed to be actively entering the camp of Western civilization, was a bit of a mental illness as a whole.

The British Empire's decision to prop up such an ally to disturb the situation in the Far East is undoubtedly very appropriate if it is only used as a pawn. There is nothing better than an extremely belligerent country to be a-stirring stick.

But the chess piece is a little uncontrollable and wants to drill into the dead end, so this matter can't be ignored. Japan is extremely careful in this kind of intelligence gathering, and it is also very active and cautious in preparing for war, but its macro strategy always makes a mistake in the basket, which the British can see through at a glance.

Chu Enchi predicted that the result of this raid would not be good, and personally urged the fleet to hurry up, and even did not hesitate to leak the news to the rest of the country, pulling a bunch of competitors to mix in.

This is almost going to collapse the situation that their entire diplomatic camp has worked so hard to create for a long time!

If the Japanese navy were to be finished, it would be impossible for them to start another war, and they would collapse under the weight of debt and the economy. When the time comes, what will be the threat to contain Russia? The Qing Empire, which does not want to make progress, is another fat Adou who can't be supported, and that kind of situation will definitely make their wave of people and even a bunch of politicians in Whitehall collectively step down!

Seeing the scarred appearance of the Japanese fleet, and the obvious lack of several capital ships, the two of them could roughly guess what had happened in the past two days.

Pelitman sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that I didn't witness their battle with my own eyes." I really want to see the man who calls himself Reinhardt. What kind of amazing weapons does Yang's mysterious man possess to do this? ”

Chu Enchi didn't care about this, shook his head and said, "We always have a way to find out about those things. The only thing we have to do now is to keep an eye on the Japanese and not let them go. At all costs. It is also necessary to first bring a satisfactory result to the battles between Liaodong and the Goryeo Peninsula. Otherwise. The interests of countless people throughout the empire will be damaged by this. ”

Perletman knew what he was talking about. There was a hint of disgust on his face.

This group of damned politicians, they have never forgotten to take advantage of the opportunity of the war between the two countries to make ill-gotten gains!

According to the plan, Japan must be able to defeat the empire and cede many interests at the negotiating table. In that way, the money extorted by Japan from the Qing Dynasty would have left at least half of the discount by walking around the British banks. The tens of millions of loans of the Qing State will also be doubled at once. This will be a pure profit of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of taels of silver!

If Japan loses, the small country that has lost its foundation will not be able to lose money at all. The stupid guys in the Qing Kingdom don't know how to extort. How disappointing would it be that a group of them in the Far East would be busy working in vain, investing money and making enough profits?

What's more, the General Department of Customs and Excise Hurd, but he has always wanted to get rid of the cunning Li Hongzhang and completely control the Qing navy and defense in his hands. At that time, the British Empire will dominate one of the world's most populous ancient, rich, honest super fat sheep!

With the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, it was enough to provide Britain with cheap raw materials, labor, and a huge dumping market for industrial products for hundreds of years. The British Empire will live forever as the world's hegemon!

A long-term plan. All of them are maintained in the results of the Sino-Japanese War, and there is no room for error!

The British fleet was across the sea. Escort the Japanese Navy away in a panic. Chu Enchi found an opportunity to go up and cheer up the Japanese, and will personally follow that the whole process of the war will not continue to get out of control.

The Japanese army must use their strength to strike at Beiyang and Li Hongzhang's forces.

The ships of the rest of the countries went back and forth near Shijiu Harbor for a long time, and under the strict formation of ten gunboats, they did not risk rushing over to try it after all.

At noon that day, the preliminary results from various battlefields were summarized on the desks of Yang Haiwei and Yang Hao.

In this operation, a total of four main ships of the Japanese Navy and three troop carriers and auxiliary ships were sunk, which can be said to have completely disabled their main combat strength. Even if they repaired the "Hequan" and put it into the battlefield later, it would be difficult to make a sound alone.

The Japanese forces annihilated ashore consisted of a cavalry brigade, two infantry squadrons, and two marine squadrons, with a total number of more than two and a half thousand men. The important thing is to take out Yoshiko Akiyama, the flower of the future of the Japanese Army and one of the culprits of the Lushun Massacre.

It was an unprecedented victory.

But Yang Haiwei and his wife were not happy at all. In the summary of battle losses in front of them, the statistics made them feel uncomfortable.

Excluding the consumption of weapons and ammunition forced into battle, more than 200 soldiers were killed or wounded in the battle, most of which were caused by the confrontation of the beachhead artillery positions and the shelling of the shore by naval artillery during the desperate rescue of the Japanese army in the southern battlefield last night.

But if these are acceptable, it is intolerable that the civilians who were killed by the Japanese army in several battlefields, and the more than 300 victims.

Most of these were tragedies that occurred at the landing site, and the Yang clan itself did not have an absolute appeal similar to that of this county. In addition, many civilians were always lucky and did not leave, and as a result, even their houses were destroyed by the Japanese army.

More than 30 villages were blown up and burned in the fighting, and more than 7,000 houses were completely destroyed. The Yang family had to compensate for this, and the victims had to be comforted, which was another staggering expense.

Spending money, Yang Hao is not afraid. He was worried about how to deal with the suffering of the people, and whether they would retract the foot they had just taken.

Not everyone can wake up and move forward resolutely under the stimulation of pain. There is another possibility, instigated and instigated by stubborn conservative forces, they will unite to adopt a silent confrontation and non-cooperation to squeeze the Yang family out of this pool of stagnant water.

How to prevent a similar bad situation will require the less sophisticated revolutionary leaders of their family to find a solution.

On October 17, after sorting out the first batch of materials, Yang Hao personally presided over the public memorial for the war victims. Subsequently, the first report was published in the "Guowen Bao", strongly condemning the brutal acts of the Japanese invaders in attacking civilians without morality and killing them on a large scale.

On the 18th, a more detailed battle report was published, which explained in vague words: "With the assistance of the officers and soldiers stationed in the flood camp and the Beiyang Naval Division, the militia of the Yizhou regiment trained to fight to the death without fear of hardships and dangers, and finally expelled the brutal Japanese invaders and killed more than 1,000 enemies."

The main content is to present the evidence of the Japanese army's killing of innocent civilians one by one! Those old people lying on the ground in various postures, those teenagers with open intestines and broken stomachs, those burned ruins, stained with blood and tears, tell how a group of beasts in human skins impose disasters on the heads of peace-loving and kind Chinese!

It occupies two pages, and is a list of the victims who have a total of more than 1,000 people.

The civilians are all real information, and the casualties of the militia are real, and a lot of patchwork of patrol battalion soldiers who eat empty salaries, soldiers of salt works that have been completely abandoned, lists of workers, and so on.

Such evidence is conclusive and irrefutable, and there are many PS photos of "Japanese criminals personally taking pictures of murder as a souvenir" to corroborate, nailing the shameless Japanese army's accumulated crimes to the pillar of shame!

Everywhere the newspapers went, there was an uproar in the major cities of the country! The war has burned to the mainland, and it has caused so many casualties, what are so many officials and troops in the Qing court doing?!

However, Li Hongzhang and the important ministers of the imperial court were shocked by another thing - the Yang clan actually led a group of regiments to train militia to kill and wound so many Japanese soldiers, how did they do it?! (To be continued......)
