Chapter 102: The Combined Fleet Arrives

In the Imperial Palace of Japan, a scene that makes people feel depressing has reappeared here. And everyone still didn't dare to take a breath, this time it was obviously Emperor Long Yan who was furious.

"Rice buckets, rice buckets, all rice buckets! Kawakami Caoliu, how did he defeat the people of China at the beginning, but now he is actually beaten by the people of China. Now, he is actually surrounded by the Chinese people, and the army of more than 100,000 has been annihilated by two divisions, and now they have cut off the supply line, and I have to send a combined fleet to rescue him. Are they all a bunch of guys who grew up eating? Emperor Meiji scolded.

Emperor Meiji won't give any face this time, and it's unbelievable that those guys are so rice buckets and actually lose again. This time, it was a full strength of six divisions, but two divisions were still annihilated, which is simply a big joke in the world, and Japan has suffered heavy losses this time. And now more than 100,000 Japanese troops are actually surrounded by more than 60,000 Chinese troops, which is even more absurd and really funny. And the fact that the commander of this army of more than 100,000 people still needs domestic support, this is simply incredible.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, according to the news from the front, these Taiwanese troops are not ordinary troops, but are equipped with sufficient artillery, and the rifles are also very advanced rifles, one per person, and machine guns and so on are complete, and it is normal for our army to fail. So, we can't measure them against the average army, that's what we did in the past. Hirobumi Ito said.

And Emperor Meiji still said angrily: "Then where did these Chinese troops come from?" Did they fly from the sky? ”

"This ......" Ito Hirobumi had nothing to say.

Ito Hirobumi only knew where Wang Guorui's army came from, and they directly appeared as if out of thin air, and they had not received relevant information at all before that. And they all treat Taiwan's army as the mainland's kind of army, and it is even inferior to the mainland's army. In this way, it also makes them feel as if they can easily defeat the resistance forces in Taiwan. But now they have found that Taiwan's resistance forces are not only not soft persimmons, but the most powerful army. According to information from the front. The strength of these Taiwanese troops is not exaggerated compared to the legendary German Army, and this is the most terrifying. Once these Chinese armies were allowed to merge with the Manchu central government, the Manchus would certainly be allowed to expand this army at that time. At that time, the Manchus had no choice but to clean them up! Although the Manchus did not have a navy, with such a powerful army, they could completely defeat the Japanese army in Korea.

What Japan fears most is the confluence of Wang Guorui and the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In this way, Wang Guorui's strong army, coupled with a large amount of resources in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, is the effect that one plus one is greater than two. Of course, this is based on the fact that Japan is not Qin Chu Wang Guorui and the Manchu Qing are not all the way, they just want to eliminate Wang Guorui as much as possible, avoid Wang Guorui and the Manchu Qing to merge, and finally work together to revive China. What Japan fears most is the rise of China, and once China rises, the first person to clean up is them.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time for us to care about these things. Our important task now is to help the more than 100,000 troops open up supply lines, and then we can re-enable the more than 100,000 troops to have enough supplies. If we can't open up the supply line, then I'm afraid that our more than 100,000 troops will starve to death at the hands of the Chinese people. Therefore, I also ask the emperor to send troops over to support the army, if the army is lost, then I am afraid that our Japanese Empire will be in danger next! Hirobumi Ito said.

Emperor Meiji was a little less angry, and he knew that the next task was to find a way to reopen the supply line. If the supply line cannot be opened, then I am afraid that more than 100,000 troops will be in danger of being wiped out. And these more than 100,000 Japanese troops are almost all trained by Japan. The remaining six divisions are still in training and have not been able to complete the training. When the time comes, once the more than 100,000 Japanese troops are annihilated in Taiwan. I am afraid that there will definitely be a military vacuum in Japan, and at that time, various forces opposing the Meiji Emperor and foreign forces will once again mobilize in the hope of turning Japan into a feudal colony. Therefore, these more than 100,000 Japanese troops are Japan's Dinghai Divine Needle, and they really can't help them.

"Immediately let the Combined Fleet stop cruising on the southeast coast of China and let them go directly to Taipei to support. To do your best. Bomb the port of Keelung, and then help the army there open up supply lines, so that our ships can continue to transport logistical supplies to the past. Otherwise, our army will be in danger! Emperor Meiji said.

By order of Emperor Meiji, the combined fleet had to stop the cruising threat on the southeast coast. And the Chinese people on the southeast coast also breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, there was still a situation of shouting and killing against Japan in China, and even many so-called scholars wanted to re-abolish the contract with Japan and then start a war with Japan again. However, when they saw the Japanese naval fleet cruising along their southeast coast, and even making powerful artillery bombardments from time to time, they had nothing to say and died down.

And the pressure on the Japanese Combined Fleet was so great that it was too much for them to feel. So now that the Japanese Combined Fleet has finally left the southeast coast, they can all breathe a sigh of relief and live their own little life with peace of mind. As for where the combined fleet went, they didn't want to know, and even if they did, there was nothing they could do.

After these things, those rotten Confucians in China realized how huge the gap between themselves and Japan was, and that Japan's warships were very powerful. And he can't defeat Japan at all, and those who shout about restarting a war with Japan will die down again, and they won't say it for a short time. And they are all very curious about Wang Guorui who defeated Japan, they are also curious about how Wang Guorui was able to defeat Japan! There are no strong troops in Taiwan, and Wang Guorui can defeat Japan, which is really a very rare thing. And this also makes the domestic impression of Wang Guorui very good, Wang Guorui has a reputation as a "knowing soldier" in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. At the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was best to "know the soldiers" as an official, otherwise the official would not be long in office. The world is in chaos, why should people reuse you if you don't "know the soldiers"!

In Keelung Harbor, the special combat team and some of the sailors that Wang Guorui had just made were also guarding several old Japanese warships. And because Tanya and they grabbed a few warships, Wang Guorui also began to make some sailors, these sailors seem to be pretty good, but because they don't have a qualified captain, they can't give full play to their strength. However, it is still possible to let them have a fixed cannon and start a boat. In the past few days, these sailors have been defending against the Japanese army, because if the Japanese army breaks out, they will use this naval gun to bombard the Japanese army.

But fortunately, because the Japanese army was not the opponent of those heavy artillery at all, they were not able to break through successfully at all, so these Wang Guorui's sailors did not have a chance to play. And they're just basking in the sun here, so they don't have to worry about anything too big at all.

"Mrs. Tanya, the combined fleet of the Japanese army is here. Just now, I personally went to reconnoitre, and found that the Japanese army had reached a distance of more than 20 nautical miles from us, and there were 12 warships. A scout on the water said.

And when Tanya heard this, she also said, "It's finally here, I've been waiting for them for a long time!" ”

"You evacuate with warships first, and I will deal with these Japanese fleets!" Tanya said.

"Lady Tanya, we are all sailors, and we have to fight the Japanese fleet. In the past, we didn't have warships, but now that we have captured Japanese warships, we naturally have to fight together! A natural sailor said.

But Tanya scolded: "How can you old warships be the opponent of the Japanese fleet? Hurry up and drive me away, and then go to Tainan to park. These old warships are to be used to train our sailors, and if they were sunk here in vain, our losses would be enormous. So, hurry up and get me out. ”

"But, Lady Tanya, are you dealing with an entire fleet by yourself?" Someone asked curiously.

These sailors really couldn't imagine how Tanya dealt with the Japanese warships. With such a huge warship, how can a villain Tanya deal with it? And although they knew that Tanya's strength in land combat was very strong, they didn't expect that Tanya's strength in surface combat was also very powerful. Tanya has not blown up the warship once or twice in her memory, so she is fully qualified for this task of blowing up the warship, so that she can be valued by Wang Guorui!

"Nonsense, of course I'm alone! Wait a minute, I'm going to blow up all these Japanese warships! Tanya said.

And those Japanese soldiers also felt that Tanya was a little bragging, but at Tanya's request, these Wang Guorui's sailors also began to leave in warships. Etanya is preparing all kinds of weapons and ammunition in Keelung Harbor, because this time she is going to blast the Japanese warship, but she has to really use C4 explosives. This C4 explosive pack is a thousand silver dollars each, and it is very expensive. Moreover, one of these explosive packs may not be able to sink a warship, and several explosive packs must work together to do so. Tanya is preparing explosives so that she can blow up the Japanese warship in a water battle on the water. (To be continued......)
