After the mutual declaration of war between Huaxia and Fusang, the war in Duwan was put on the table, and the Penghu Islands were just the beginning, and the Fusang army in Duwan was frantically building a military defense, and countless ordinary people were also helping, more than half of the people were voluntary, and the rest were forced.

One by one, the Chinese warships rushed towards the bay, using the Penghu Islands as a base to attack the bay in batches. The Fusang army in Duwan only had tens of thousands of troops, and it was simply impossible to defend so many places, and only the ports and other places in the northern and western coastal areas were deployed to garrison a large number of troops, while the Chinese army was preparing for a strong attack with nearly 200,000 troops.

Dongjing, there was a heated debate about the top level of the Fuso government and the military department in Duwan.

"I don't need to say the importance of Duwan Bay, I am in favor of transporting troops there, we can completely borrow the merchant ships of Britain and other countries to transport troops, is it possible that the people of Chengzhi still dare to go to war with Britain and other countries?" War Minister Yukihiko Kurose is now very excited, the defeat of the navy has made the empire pay more attention to the army, and his words are obviously a sarcastic navy.

The Minister of the Navy, Fujisai, looked at the young Minister of War with a dark face, "Hmph, what are you talking about, even if the empire is willing to Britain and other countries, it will not be willing, unless they want to sink these merchant ships into the sea, do you think the crazy Shina people will not dare?" If so, where will the face of the empire go? It's not that your army has not made any progress in the three provinces, otherwise the navy will be used? ”

"You ......" Yukihiko Kurose couldn't refute for a while, this is indeed his own army has not made much progress to use the navy.

Yamamoto Gonbei came out in time to stop the two from continuing to sarcastically intertwine, "Enough, Stay Bay must be saved, I have already let the supplies rushed back from Europe go to support Stay Bay first, as for letting Britain and other countries use merchant ships to transport the Empire's troops, it is also possible, but it will definitely pay a huge price, and even outweigh the losses!" ”

"Directly sent by the navy, we bypassed the East China Sea and entered the Bay from the Pacific Ocean, I believe that the submarine of the Chinese people will not be able to sail far, otherwise they would have run to the empire to sabotage! The empire doesn't have many garrisons in Duwan Bay, and it still has to hold such a long coastline, I don't know how long it can hold out? A government official said.

"Yes, the empire has a naval base in the Ryukyu Islands, as long as you enter there from the Pacific Ocean, you will not be affected by the submarine force of China, and once we arrive in the Ryukyus, we can safely transport soldiers to the bay!"

As soon as this construction was released, it received the support of many high-level people, and it was also a good choice to enter the Bay from the Pacific Ocean, and they also felt that it was impossible for the submarine to appear in the Pacific Ocean.

Yamamoto Gonbei decided: "Just do it, transport the people to the Ryukyu Islands first, and the bay must not be lost, since the war has been declared, go all out, as long as you defeat the Shina and take all their things, the empire will become a super power comparable to Britain and the like, please work together to win this war!" ”

Although the country is fighting on two fronts, it is not a problem for Fuso, which can form millions of people at any time, and of course the logistics cannot keep up.

Fuso had to transport troops to the other side of the Ryukyu Islands while transporting them to the other side, so there were not enough warships and ships, so they had to abandon the side to fully support the bay.

In Duwan, the attack began, and in the port of Jilong (Keelung), several warships were shelling around the port, and countless shells flew towards the port.

"Boom ......"

The Fusang troops hiding in the military defense facilities could only watch nervously as the Huaxia warships showed their might, and the artillery on the shore used artillery and shore defense guns to return fire, but since it was night, they only estimated the general direction to attack.

Governor Sakuma Zomattai kept an eye on the harbor because he had placed a large number of mines in the harbor, and as long as the Shina fleet ventured into the harbor, it would hit the mines, and no matter how many warships there were, they would be killed!

"Test if the enemy has laid mines in the harbor!" Li Yunhai, who had become a captain, commanded the soldiers on the "Pearl River" to test the mines.

The barrels of the Pearl River slowly adjusted the degrees downward, and then fired shells with a bang. I saw that the shells fell on the sea in the middle of the harbor and exploded, causing a series of explosions, and a large area was lit up, which was the fire of the explosion.

"Well, the mines are very dense, I don't know how many mines they can have, and how big is the range?" Li Yunhai muttered.

Because they did not know the scope of the mine arrangement, all the Chinese warships were very cautious and did not dare to move forward rashly. After a while, small ships were lowered from the warship, and on them sat tightly wrapped soldiers, holding semi-automatic rifles in their hands, and two heavy machine guns in the bow, and the searchlights on the heads of each soldier were turned on, but the searchlights on the ships were not turned on.

The ships moved slowly with their soldiers on board, and the battleships did not stop attacking, and their range was just enough to reach the harbor.

These small ships lined up in a straight line, one every five hundred meters, with a fishing net between each two, and the speed of travel was basically the same, they advanced a distance of five hundred meters and then suddenly stopped, and some of the small ships continued to move forward, and soon the small ships that were originally arranged in a straight line became crooked, and after a few minutes some small ships stopped.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Bump! Touch! ”

"Boom ......"

The soldiers began to clear mines from a long distance, and one after another the mines were detonated, and the scene was quite spectacular, like firecrackers one after another.

Li Yunhai frowned after taking a look at the small ships, then took out a pen and paper to draw these curves connected by red dots, and showed them to the commander after the drawing.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

A ship accidentally triggered a mine, and an explosion caused several subsequent explosions, and all the soldiers on it were drowned out by the fire of the mine explosion, and the soldiers on the nearby ships gritted their teeth and looked at the fire before continuing to sweep the mines.

On the shore of the harbor, Governor Sakuma Zomathew looked at the clouds of light with a telescope, and stood up in surprise when he heard the sound of gunfire and explosions, and then he saw a large number of enemy ships clearing mines by the light of the explosions.

"It's not good, the people in China are sweeping mines, you immediately let the artillery clear those enemy troops who are clearing mines!"

When an officer heard this, he rushed to the artilleryman.

The five submarines under the sea were already approaching the edge of the harbor, and the fire from the explosion on the shore let them know that they were approaching their targets, and that they would attack as soon as they analyzed the exact purpose of the target.

A submarine floated slowly in the dark night, a long iron pillar rose, this was already the inner harbor, the Fuso army did not place mines near the coast of the inner harbor, and after a few minutes the iron pillar sank quickly, and no one noticed this.

"The target has been determined, the bearing is in the upper left, about 1,500 meters horizontally, ready to launch!"

"Ready!"

"Launch!"

The Fuso soldiers did not notice that several torpedoes flew out of the sea and flew towards them, and soon the torpedo exploded.

"Boom...... Rumble......"

The Fuso army was hit by several torpedoes at the artillery location on the shore, and many of the cannons were blown up by the explosion, which detonated those shells again, and then continued to spread to the vicinity, and for a time three cannons were blown up, and more than a dozen artillery pieces were also destroyed!

The torpedoes came again, and the artillery did not have time to dodge at all, and after a while the Fuso artillery was killed a lot, and a large group of unknown soldiers under the command of the commander quickly prepared to transfer the artillery, but they were not in a hurry to transfer the torpedoes again.

"Your Excellency the Governor, it's not good, the artillery has been attacked by an unknown one, the losses are strict, that attack is still continuing, we can't find it!"

"What? Unknown attack, are you sure it wasn't the Shina warship attacking? ”

Governor Sakuma Zomatjew was shocked, could it be that there are other Chinese fleets nearby, this is not right, where is the enemy from whom the ports are blocked?

In the important port of chicken coop, in addition to deploying those shore defense guns, Sakuma Zuo Matthew also specially transferred an artillery regiment specially to block the enemy army, but now it has been inexplicably beaten and lost strictly, which is really strange!

Sakuma was thinking about it, when suddenly there was an explosion near where he was, and he quickly fell down, and then another 'cannonball' fell near him, and he dodged it far away, but those officers and soldiers were miserable and were blown up one after another.

"What the hell? How did it rise from the water, there is an inner harbor, it can't be! Sakuma Zomathew rubbed his eyes and said in disbelief.

Suddenly, Sakuma Zuo Matthew patted his head as if he thought of something, and whispered: "It's a submarine, it must be a submarine, but how did they determine the target?" ”

At this time, because submarines had not yet been truly developed, deep-bottom mines had not yet been invented, and of course the Fuso army could not use this.

The Huaxia fleet outside the harbor was very excited to see this, and after a round of submarine strikes, the enemy's artillery fire had obviously dropped a lot, and the threat of the mine-sweeping troops had become smaller, and the speed of mine-sweeping had increased, so that a few passages for warships to enter would be swept out tomorrow.

The submarine forces returned late after firing the torpedo, and as for how effective the strike would be, they were not concerned about it now.

At the same time, this scene was also played out in other ports in the northern part of the bay, and with the help of submarine forces, the Fuso army on the shore was subjected to the first fierce attack, and the artillery losses of the Fuso army were not able to prevent Yan Zòng.

In the southern part of the bay, the Huaxia fleet landed without much hindrance, and the main strength of the Fuso army was on the northern and western coasts, while the southern part of the army was very vacant. In fact, the Chinese army attacked too quickly, and the Fusang army in Duwan was on the way to the south, after all, from the capture of the Penghu Islands by the Huaxia army to the declaration of war, and then to the attack on Duwan, it was completed in two days.

ps: The information of the deep bottom mine has not been found, everyone should treat it as if the deep bottom mine has not appeared before the First World War, haha!
