If, if all the warships of the Qing Kingdom can sail to the vicinity of Dagou Harbor, then what will happen to the Meng Chun in the north?

Akamatsu Zeliang didn't think that the Qing warships that had been killed would not be able to touch the Meng Chun. The Taiwan Strait seems to be wide, but when it comes to entering Tainan from the mainland, the route is very fixed.

Xiamen - Penghu - Luermen Outer Sea - Seven Kun Body - Dog Harbor!

Meng Chun must be finished!

Akamatsu Noriyoshi slammed his fist into the side of the ship in anger, the flesh and skin were broken, and blood was dripping. No matter how small the ship is, it is also the foundation of the imperial country, Japan now has a total of seventeen warships, and if one is lost at will, Akamatsu Norirashi will die of distress!

"Order, the breach must be plugged in an hour and a half, and it must set sail before dawn-"

Akamatsu Norira's fierce eyes stared at the dark north, today's shame, today's defeat, the imperial state will definitely retaliate in the coming days! Before that, I will definitely bring the Nisshin back to Japan safely.

Under the attack of the Qin army divers, that is, the 'water ghosts' commonly known in the Chinese sailors, the Rijin ate a total of three 'gift bags', which were all twenty pounds of picric acid medicine packets, each of which tore a big hole in the waterline of the Rijin. Only (but the Risin belongs to the ironclad, the year of construction is a little far, but how to say that it also belongs to the second generation of ironclad, and there have been some improvements on the basis of the original ironclad.) For example, the waterline part of the water tank and lightning protection device.

Three packs filled the Nisshin with seawater, but not enough to sink it. It is said that the Qin army sent a team of divers to attack at the beginning. Six groups were divided, but two were missed in the dark night. Only three big gift packages were given to the little devils. Otherwise, the Rijin should really sink outside the port of Dagou.

But it didn't escape the fate of sinking after all. After dawn, after two hours of searching and pursuit. The Combined Fleet found the 'faltering' Rijin more than 10 nautical miles southwest of Dagou Harbor. For the first time, four ironclad gunboats of the Qin army were put into actual combat. It took twenty minutes to completely break up the resistance of the Nisshin. Of the more than 170 crew members, and the 20 or so people of Akamatsu Noriyo's group, only half of them were fished up by the ship's ship, and more than a dozen were rescued by the British ship. The rest were either killed in battle or sunk with the ship. Supreme Commander Norira Akamatsu was included.

For the navies of the West, such behavior is very irrational and incomprehensible. But the Qin-Chu Combined Fleet felt the same way. In the East, ships are really more precious than human life!

The ship is in the people. The ship sank and people died.

Liu Buyun, Lin Taizeng, and even Deng Shichang during the First Sino-Japanese War, weren't they all like this?

Shi Qingyan's face was still a little stiff, the four gunboats were afraid that a Nisshin with a greatly reduced speed would even slightly injure a Pinghai, and two consecutive 120mm shells concentrated on the same ship's side, not only opening a big gap, but also scrapping a 32-pounder naval gun of the Pinghai. The angry Wang Fuyou scolded his mother!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Qin-Chu combined fleet reached the sea of Sheliao. The three Japanese warships and the eight transports that were still gathered there suddenly became lively. Like a rat hole that was broken into by a big cat, one by one couldn't be stunned, so they screamed hoarsely to make a fire and start a boat. But except for three of them. It was indeed on fire, and immediately turned around and fled to the southern ocean, along with the other eight warships and transports. That is, the combined fleet gave them half an hour to prepare, at most they had just pressed the air pressure. Steamships. It's not like you want to say drive away, and you can drive away right away.

"Ordered these Japanese to surrender. Dare to move. Sink immediately. "Peng Chuhan couldn't be happy. These warships and steamships are going to be taken prisoner, and they are about to be in half with the Qin army, and the shipmaster and sailor are also very beneficial.

The three fleeing ships have already been pursued by warships. A warship and two steamers of considerable size, the former seems to be the Mikuni Maru, which was originally a steamer of the North Japan Kisen Co., Ltd., with a displacement of more than 1,300 tons.

Peng Chuhan was still very serious about doing his homework, and directly recognized this Sanguo Maru, which was only equipped with two naval guns!

The coalition pursued three real warships, the weakest gunboat, the Fuxing, which was also equipped with 1 Westworth 70-pounder (160mm) front-loading hexagonal rifled steel cannon and 4 Favas 4-pounder breech steel cannons, which completely defeated the Mikuni Maru. Therefore, Peng Chuhan is not worried about the ships that are chasing out, as long as he can catch up, he will not be able to escape.

"Yaga-" The captain of the Takasago is not on the ship, not even the first officer on the ship, only the second officer.

"Open the cannon, open the cannon—" But just like the wild, paranoid, crazy and other characters that the Japanese generally have, this second mate knew that if he opened the cannon, he would die, and the small cannon equipped on the Takasago could not hurt the fur of the warship on the other side at all, but he still stubbornly ordered the cannon!

The Japanese were afraid of China, the old empire, but they were not afraid of the Qing people. As in the Tang and Song dynasties, it was no longer possible for the Japanese to bow down to China and serve the heavens.

After experiencing the two unsuccessful victories of the Yuan army attacking Japan, and experiencing the shattering of the halo of China's annihilation, even if the Ming Dynasty was revitalized and Zheng He led the fleet to subdue Japan, it could not really remove the idea in the hearts of the Japanese that China had perished and could be replaced.

One of the most popular words is that the Chinese in the Tang and Song dynasties were noble and superior to the Japanese, but the Chinese after that were ordinary, even barbarian, and the Japanese were equal to the Chinese!

So at this time, in this mortal situation, the second officer of the Takasago still ordered to open fire. And the Japanese sailors on the Takasago really obeyed the order and fired four shells at the Anlan, which was closest to them. Subsequently, the transport ship, which was converted from a steamer, was punished with the most severe punishment. Not only was the ship sunk, but most of the sailors who fell into the sea were shot by the angry harbour master, and only a few were lucky enough to be rescued by the British ironclads.

"Bobi, we should stop this inhumane behavior of the Chinese. They are wantonly shooting Japanese sailors in the sea, this is a shame for the Navy! "A British major officer aboard the ironclad was very nervous. Not far behind him. There were a handful of Japanese sailors standing, each of them glaring at the Qin-Chu Combined Fleet with red and blood-glittering eyes.

"My man. Calm down, calm down! This is not Europe. If it is not the Western civilized world, we cannot control the behavior of the Chinese, and they will not listen to us. ok？ ”

As the captain of the ironclad, the British naval lieutenant was much calmer than his companions. After a pause, he spread his hands and said, "I think there is a saying in China that killing a chicken makes the monkey next to him feel scared, and it is very suitable for this place." You see. Those Japanese ships, oh, and a French cargo ship and a Yankee cargo ship, they all went out and hoisted the white flag! ”

……

The shores of Sheliao are not wilderness, there is a harbor where hundreds of Japanese troops are stationed. At the same time, there was also a group of servants who accompanied the army, as well as Wanwan natives recruited in Taiwan.

The Japanese government issued an order in the name of the Colonial Bureau in the name of the Colonial Bureau. In addition to the standing army, the Japanese army also included colonial soldiers who were recruited and selected to be unemployed and able-bodied young men, who did not serve for a period of time, and emigrated according to subsequent circumstances and orders. In addition, there are monks, military journalists, and 500 craftsmen from various industries who supply military supplies. In the luggage of the Japanese troops invading Taiwan, there are even 182 kinds of Western plants, all of the above. It can be seen that the Japanese have a meticulous plan to conquer Taiwan and their ambition to invade and occupy Taiwan.

The current port is one of the most important strongholds of the Japanese army in the land of Hengchun. The main force of the Japanese army has been moved to Kameyama, but all the military and civilian supplies of the Japanese army and civilians can be used. It all depends on this port for transportation.

Saigo sent 200 Japanese regulars here, as well as an even larger number of colonial soldiers. In addition to the gathered Wanwan natives, the descendants of these people often shout to protect their own rights and interests, they don't know their ancestors, the number is small, and they like infighting. The Japanese attacked the Peony Society, the Coats Buddhist Society, and the Female Milk Society, and the Wanwan natives who had enmity with the Peony Society, the Coats Buddhist Society, and the Female Milk Society, were naturally attracted by the Japanese. One by one, they worked hard for the Japanese. But it saved a lot of effort for Saigo Congdao.

The little devil's barracks in Guishan is a semi-permanent building, made of wooden houses, bricks, food, salt vegetables and other pieces, in order to plan for a long time. However, no one knows about these Qin and Chu coalition forces at the moment.

"Baga, Baga-" Shikiki Kayama scolded. He really couldn't accept the facts in front of him, and his plans were about to be ruined.

The Meng Chun and the Rijin were nowhere to be found, but the Qing fleet arrived across the sea. A sense of doom rose from the heart of Shiki Kayama.

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, what should we do?"

There was a team of Japanese artillery in the port, although it was equipped with small guns, but just like the second officer of the Takasago, the commander of this artillery team, a Japanese captain, was determined to resist to the death. Just like the Anglo-Saxon War eleven years ago, if you don't completely beat the little devils into obedience, they will have the courage to fight you. It can be said that the rise and fall of Japan in modern history are closely related to the individuality of their nation.

"Your troops immediately evacuate their positions and move towards Turtle Mountain. Remember, don't fire. You are no match for these warships. Preserving strength is the most important thing. Shiki Kayama was not carried away by anger. After the initial anger and despair, his clear mind immediately figured out one thing—the sea route was cut off, and all supplies would be gone. Before the Imperial Navy defeated the Qing fleet, all the materials and personnel were full of qiē and must be cherished and cherished. Because the Imperial Army athletes will use them to resist the ensuing attack of the Qing Army.

In this case, how could he let an artillery team be wasted in such a vain in a port that could never be saved? Does it show the courage of the warriors of the Imperial Kingdom? In the ensuing land battle, there is an opportunity to show!
