The current Yokosuka Shipyard is now the Yokosuka Naval Yard thirty years later. The survival of this famous pillar of the Japanese navy in the history of the original time and space now depends entirely on the thoughts of Peng Chuhan and Shi Qingyan.

Peng Chuhan and Ri Yige didn't pay much attention to the shipyard in front of them. Japan's funds are really limited, and the Yokosuka Shipyard has been nine years since the Yokosuka Iron Works established by the Tokugawa shogunate, and it has still not been able to build a single Nissan warship. Historically, it was not until two years later, that is, seven years after the launch of the first self-built steam warship of the 'Great Qing Dynasty', the Wannian Qing Dynasty, that with the technical support of the French, it built Nissan's first warship, the Qinghui gunboat.

This Qinghui gunboat, which is of the same origin as the Wannian Qing, has a displacement of only 900 tons, far lower than the 1,450 tons of the Wannian Qing, and has a speed of 9.6 knots, which is also inferior to the Wannian Qing. The Harbour Administration Bureau in Fuzhou has produced 16 warships in succession in the past five years since the first warship was manufactured in the first half of Tongzhi (1869). Peng Chuhan and Riyige naturally don't look down on the little shrimp of Yokosuka Shipyard. If it weren't for Shi Qingyan's order from Liu Xian, the Combined Fleet would not have looked at Yokosuka again after leveling the forts on Sarushima. After all, the shipmaster and sailor are different from beasts like little devils, and Peng Chuhan does not have the idea of curbing the level of Japan's self-built warships in his mind, and even because Yokosuka is not a military port now, he directly attributed the shipyard to the private category.

"Lord Shi, the enemy doesn't have many troops in the shipyard, try it and see if you can take it!"

Jiao Wenbin, the captain of the Qin Army's Marine Corps Brigade, who was heading north to Tokyo Bay with the Combined Fleet, said this, looking at the Yokosuka Shipyard with hot eyes.

As the captain of one of the only two Marine Brigades in the Qin Army, Jiao Wenbin was well aware of the significance of the Yokosuka Shipyard. At least for their Marine Corps, the meaning is heavy. If the Qin army's shipyard in Qinzhou Bay could be supplemented by the machinery of the Yokosuka shipyard, it would soon be possible to build a small steam speedboat specially prepared by the Marine Corps. And if the Qin army can't make it itself and can only take the outsourced route, then he doesn't know that the Marine Corps will not have the funds to buy small steam speedboats until the Year of the Monkey.

The shipyard in front of you is at stake in the vital interests of the Marine Corps. And to be precise, taking the Yokosuka shipyard in front of them is also the most important task of their Marine Brigade to fight Japan this time.

"Captain Koizumi! The Qing fleet has signaled to us to surrender immediately! ”

The captain of the Yokosuka garrison, Koizumi Shinichi, looked at the soldier in front of him who was reporting to him with a blazing eye. "Smack-" slapped the soldier in the face. "Yaga! Stupid pig stupid, such a meaningless question, do you still need to report it to me? Send a signal to the Qing people, get out! Two words, fuck off! Let them fuck off. It was the territory of the Imperial Kingdom of Japan. Anyone who wants to set foot on this sacred land must step over our corpses! ”

The beast-like gaze scanned everyone in front of him, and as far as Koizumi Shinichi looked at, all the officers and soldiers of the garrison held their heads high. "Yamato athletes are not afraid of death, they are not afraid of death. Fighting and dying defending our country, even if everyone is crushed, our heroic spirits will be with the royal kingdom. ”

"Hay." In front of Koizumi Shinichi, every soldier and officer of the garrison exuded an infinite fighting spirit, their eyes burning with flames, and their hearts flowing with hot heat.

"Gentlemen, see you at Kudansaka."

"Your Excellency Captain, Kudanzaka!"

"The Great Japanese Imperial Onboard, the Great Japanese Imperial Onboard!"

"Onboard! Onboard ......"

[The predecessor of the Yasukuni Shrine, the Tokyo Spiritualist Society, was built in 1869]

The will of the captain of the garrison was carried out without hindrance. Although the Japanese army today is far from being as strong-willed as it was 60 years later, after switching positions between aggression and being invaded, Japanese soldiers in a state of aggression can often explode.

This was evident in the Anglo-Saxon War.

"Ready to shoot!" The captain of the artillery team ordered.

"Hey!" Several artillery commanders were fearless, and their faces were full of determination to defend the country and die. There was no heavy artillery that could threaten the enemy's warships, or artillery positions placed in the open air, and as soon as the battle began, the entire artillery team was looking for death. However, the commanders of the artillery positions and all the soldiers of the artillery team were all inspired by the heroic feelings surging in their hearts, and none of them flinched, and a tragic and heroic feeling filled the officers and men of the artillery team......

The Qin-Chu Combined Fleet on the sea did not continue to reply after receiving the signal of the Japanese Yokosuka garrison to 'get out'. Instead, they immediately began to adjust their formations, and the ten warships adjusted their positions according to the distance of each other's guns, seeing that the battle was about to begin.

Ten years ago, Yokosuka was just a small fishing village, but over the years, the number of Japanese residents here has increased dozens of times, and it is a large town. In the history of the original plane, it would not be long before Yokosuka was set up as a town guard, and the Yokosuka Shipyard was under its direct jurisdiction. At the same time, Yokosuka has also opened up a path of growth as a city.

A number of Japanese police officers are conducting patrols in various areas. The streets were filled with Japanese people carrying large bags and small bags, some of whom were doing business in the vicinity of the shipyard, some were fishermen living in Yokosuka themselves, and more were the families of shipyard workers. The flames of war have reached Yokosuka, and all the people will naturally evacuate as much as possible.

The Japanese people were both uneasy and dissatisfied with this sudden change, but like the Chinese people, the Japanese people were at the mercy of the state's power. It's just that you can find Japanese people in every neighborhood who refuse to evacuate because of their luck. Then it was the turn of the police to get to work.

But the evacuation of thousands of people and tens of thousands of people will be able to walk wherever they can go. At this moment, there was a sudden muffled sound in the sky, followed by a screech like fireworks. The faces of the Japanese police changed immediately. It's shelling.

"Hidden! Hide! While shouting, the policemen ran out of the hope that they could grow two more legs. As for the people, life and death depend on luck

A moment later, the ground shook violently. Then a loud explosion was heard. Houses that usually look so strong are especially weak in the explosion of shells.

The small artillery of the Yokosuka garrison didn't need as many as ten warships to fire a salvo. The four ironclad gunboats of the Qin army could easily deal with them. The muzzle of the gun, which is only 60mm at the maximum, is tickling when it hits the iron armor.

Shells fell on the harbor, and the positions of the garrison were blown to pieces.

Spiritual power does not mean material power, and not being afraid of death does not mean that you will fight. Koizumi Shinsei placed his own soldiers in the harbor, and he was to guard Yokosuka and prevent the Qing army from landing. But he completely put himself in the range of the ship's guns.

Every time a shell lands, especially a heavy artillery shell, it triggers a mountain shaking. For the soldiers of the garrison, this feeling was especially strong. The fortifications they piled up with sand and dirt looked so weak in the face of the shells. Thick sandbag walls will be destroyed like tissue paper!

Koizumi Shinichi's face was ugly, his troops couldn't even talk about counterattacking now, and the coalition forces were completely a simple suppressive firepower. Feeling the shaking of the mountain, the faces of all the Japanese soldiers were ugly.

The shelling lasted half an hour, and Yokosuka changed. Except for the shipyard, which is still very intact, the rest of the place has completely turned into ruins. Crater after crater on the ground. The smell of gunsmoke filled the air.

What made Koizumi even more uncomfortable was that the number of more than 300 soldiers under his command, including the conscripted soldiers in the countryside and some policemen, reached 400 troops.

Now, there are less than 200 people left.

"Go and take the high ground on the left!" The squadron leader of the leading squadron yelled at his men. More than a dozen sampan boats were transported together, delivering a full squadron of marines directly to the shore with equipment.

They had two heavy machine guns in their hands, and four mortars to form a firepower squad. It's just that in order to hide the combat effectiveness, the mortar did not show up and was replaced with a small mortar.

Of course, having said that, Liu Xian at the moment could not make a buffer at all, and the mortars produced by his department were certainly better than mortars and could be disassembled and disassembled, but mortars were still a category in fundamental nature.

A squad of soldiers shouted and rushed to the front, running and quickly approaching the positions guarded by the Japanese. A dense and fierce burst of gunfire was heard, and several Marines who were running immediately fell to the ground. The dense gunfire weighed down the remaining soldiers' heads.

"Machine gun fire!" The squadron leader immediately ordered that the two heavy machine guns had been moved to the shore and set up, and when they heard the order, the heavy machine guns immediately began to roar.

The fire of two heavy machine guns immediately caused a brief sinking of the Japanese position on the opposite side. The Marines of the suppressed squad were immediately resurrected, and one grenade after another was thrown out. The four mortars also made their own sound at this time, and they had no intention of accepting it when they saw it, and the shells were fired out one after another. Explosions kept on the Japanese positions.

Koizumi Shinichi could not resist the attack of the Marines at all, and when the second squadron was transported ashore by sampan boat, the two Marine squadrons did not spend much time and did not pay many casualties, and completely defeated the Yokosuka garrison led by Koizumi Shinichi. One squadron drove the remnants of the Japanese army deep inland, and the other swooped down on the shipyard like a hungry wolf......

……

"Shame! This is a disgrace to the Imperial State! ”

When the news reached Tokyo that the combined fleet of Qin and Chu broke the Sarushima Fort and continued to capture Yokosuka, and then drove the local workers to dismantle the shipyard's equipment and move it to the transport ship, the entire Restoration government exploded.

"Bandits! This is a group of ugly bandits-" Emperor Meiji pointed in the direction of the Eastern Fleet and scolded in front of Iwakura Gushi, Okubo Ritsu, Kido Takayoshi, Okuma Shigenobu and other important ministers of the Restoration. R1152
