Chapter 203: Recovering the Ryukyu Islands (Supplement)
The Fusang army in the northern area outside Vladivostok counterattacked to the death, and tried their best to ask the Dora Huaxia soldiers to go down to the funeral, and it was obvious that the Huaxia army also saw this, so they arranged the strongest firepower at the front.
Although it was in the dark of night, under the bombardment of the fire dragon team, there was fire everywhere, and they could see the Fuso soldiers on the opposite side. On the contrary, because the Fusang camp was full of fire and bright, the Chinese army became the side in the shadows, which was very advantageous for the attack.
The Fuso army in the bright place couldn't be worse, they were already at a disadvantage, and they thought that they would be better off when the night fell, but they didn't expect it to become a nightmare. The Huaxia army attacked in the shadows, and the Fusang soldiers could only know where the Huaxia soldiers were when they attacked, but as soon as the Huaxia soldiers attacked, they didn't have much opportunity to attack, either they were killed and disabled, or they were dodging the attack, and when they fought back, the Huaxia soldiers had already run in front of them.
Today's loud bangs came from Vladivostok City, and the Fusang soldiers here heard them, and they were also stunned for a moment, and they couldn't figure out what these earth-shattering explosions were all about.
A household guard and a Fuso officer involuntarily picked up their binoculars and looked at Vladivostok, because their terrain was much higher than Vladivostok, and they could see the situation of Vladivostok in general, and everyone was so frightened that they almost threw their binoculars to the ground.
"Vladivostok City is broken, how is this possible, even the city gate has been opened, what are you doing here!" A family guard muttered.
These Fuso officers instantly seemed to have lost their souls, their task was to support Vladivostok, but now Vladivostok is broken, and they have been beaten half dead and half alive, and they are simply shameless to see the fathers and villagers in the country.
Some soldiers who also had telescopes on their bodies also saw the scene of the collapse of the Vladivostok city wall and the explosion of the city gates, and then the news was quickly spread throughout the entire Fuso army, and a family of guards could not block the news if they wanted to, so they could only watch the dejected expressions of the soldiers.
The news of the destruction of Vladivostok was a huge blow to the Fuso army, even if they had already lost Yan zhòng before this, and it could even be said that it was miserable, but they still had certain illusions about Vladivostok, thinking that they could break out of the encirclement of the Chinese army and enter Vladivostok City, but now that the city is broken, can they still go there?
The Huaxia army was also stunned at first, but soon recovered, and took the opportunity to launch a more fierce attack on the Fusang army, and all the soldiers rushed forward with high morale. Because they also saw the scene of the destruction of the city of Vladivostok, such a difficult place in Vladivostok has been conquered, and they will lose face if they don't work harder.
The Fusang army, whose morale had plummeted, was the opponent of the Huaxia army, and their strength had dropped to about 50,000 by nightfall, while the Huaxia army still had 70,000 troops, and they also had an advantage in strength.
Two hours later, the Huaxia army, which had occupied various advantages, finally annihilated the Fusang army outside the city, and a family guard and a cadre of officers committed suicide by caesarean section, and none of the 100,000 Fusang soldiers survived.
"Pile it up, burn it, bury it and occupy a place, this is the territory of the empire, there is no place for them!"
"Yes!"
On the other side, the street fighting in Vladivostok continued, tens of thousands of people were distributed throughout the streets of Vladivostok, it was not so easy to clean up, but the Chinese army had cleared a small part of the area, and then slowly spread forward on the premise of that area.
In the East China Sea, all the Chinese fleet was dispatched, even the aircraft carrier was dispatched, the destination was the Ryukyu Peninsula, Sa Bingzhen sat on the aircraft carrier and was very excited, finally going to recover the Ryukyus, and the wish for many years was about to come true.
"Commander, Shang Shun of the Ryukyus actually handed over the people we sent to contact him to the Fuso government, I really don't know how thick the sky is, we must teach them a lesson!" One of the officers said angrily.
It turned out that on the eve of Huaxia's preparation to recover Ryukyu, someone contacted Shang Shun, who was still in Ryukyu, and asked him to contact those Ryukyu warriors who were secretly resisting Japan to cooperate with the outside world and recover Ryukyu in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, Shang Shun would directly arrest their people and send them to the local Fusang government, resulting in the death of the director's contact, which made the navy's top brass very angry.
Shang Shun is the fourth son of the last Ryukyu king Shang Tai, and among the many sons of Shang Tai who currently survive, only Shang Shun settled on the Ryukyu Peninsula, so Huaxia found someone to contact him, and he could release his brother Shang Dian afterwards, but he refused.
Sa Bingzhen's face was also very angry, "If he doesn't cooperate, the empire will have a reason to directly make Ryukyu the territory of the empire in the future, rather than a vassal state, and take him after occupying the Ryukyus, this matter is an order personally issued by His Majesty!" Originally, His Majesty wanted to let them continue to be the king of the Ryukyus for a few years after the recovery of the Ryukyus, but now he can't do it for a moment, and the Ryukyus are the territory of the empire! ”
"Yes, the strategic location of the Ryukyus is so important, how can it be returned to them, this is the territory of the Empire, the gateway of the Empire to and from the Pacific Ocean!"
"Hmph, the king of the Ryukyus has been assimilated by Fusang Yan zhòng, Shang Dian and others want to integrate into Fusang society in Dongjing, and they also throw away their own traditions, what a naïve! This Shang Shun is too, look at what he has done since Ryukyu, and even cooperate with the local Fuso government to manage Ryukyu, he deserves death! Sa Bingzhen had some sympathy for Shang Tai's plight before, and it was also the Manchu Qing Dynasty's irresponsibility to the Ryukyus at the beginning, and Shang Shun's behavior directly broke his sympathy.
The Huaxia fleet is heading towards the Ryukyu Islands, and now they are ready for a decisive battle with the Fuso Navy, and if the Fuso Navy dares to come, they don't mind destroying the Fuso Fleet in advance.
How could such a big move of the Huaxia fleet be concealed from Fuso's intelligence officers in Huaxia, not long after the Huaxia fleet set off, Okuma Shigenobu had more information about their dispatch in his hands.
"Immediately notify the navy that the entire China fleet has been dispatched, let them prepare for battle, and definitely not let the China fleet get close to the imperial headquarters!"
Okuma Shigenobu believed that the Shina fleet, which had endured for so long, was finally going to take action against the Fuso Empire itself, and that the Shina fleet must not be allowed to succeed.
A loud alarm sounded at several naval bases in Fuso, and then groups of naval soldiers hurriedly gathered and hurriedly ran to the battleship under the command of the officer.
"What's the matter with urgently summoning us here, is it possible that the Chinese fleet has been dispatched?" Admiral Kuayu Waiyoshi asked the Minister of the Navy, Yashiro Rokuro, and the admirals and lieutenant generals next to him all looked at Yashiro Rokuro in unison, hoping that he would give a reason.
Yashiro Rokuro said with a stern face: "I just got the news from the Prime Minister, the whole fleet of the Chinese fleet is dispatched, and the destination is unknown, it is very likely that it is coming towards the imperial headquarters, so let's go and stop it!" No matter what the purpose of the Chinese fleet is, there must be some conspiracy in the whole sortie, and we must be cautious! ”
"What, the Chinese fleet has been dispatched, is it going to fight us in a decisive battle? Where did they get the courage, do they really think that with a few submarines there will be lawlessness! "Admiral Guasheng Waiji was shocked, does the Chinese fleet really have any powerful new weapons, dare to come to the mainland of my Great Fusang Empire?
"The purpose of the Chinese fleet is not yet clear, I have already sent a warship to monitor it, and news will come back soon!"
As soon as Yashiro Rokuro finished speaking, a telegraph correspondent hurriedly ran to him with a telegram and bent down to hand over the telegram: "Report, news has come from Kagoshima that they have discovered that the Shina fleet is sailing in the direction of the Ryukyu Islands!" ”
"What, Ryukyu Islands!? It turned out that the purpose of the Shina fleet was the Ryukyu Islands! All the Navy soldiers are ready for battle, I'll go and take the news to the Prime Minister and let him decide! After reading it, Rokuro Hachishiro quickly rushed to the Prime Minister's Office with a telegram.
Gua Sheng Waiji muttered: "Eighty percent of the war is not out, the prime minister will definitely not let us stop it, unless the submarine force can be dispatched, otherwise it will be just a false alarm!" ”
The other admirals next to him also nodded in agreement when they heard this, they all knew that at this stage, except for the Unless the Chinese fleet attacked the mainland, the navy still had to be patient, after all, the Ryukyu Islands were not in their opinion to let the navy launch a decisive battle in advance.
Sure enough, half an hour later, Yashiro Rokuro returned, still making the navy ready for battle, and all naval warships had to arrive at the predetermined position to prevent the Shina fleet from attacking the east and west, or attacking the Ryukyu Islands and then turning to attack Fuso proper.
Without much debate, the Okuma cabinet decided to temporarily abandon the Ryukyu Islands and discuss reclaiming them later, without having to bury the entire naval fleet for the sake of the Ryukyu Islands.
The Chinese fleet reached the vicinity of the Ryukyu Islands without encountering any resistance along the way, and without saying a word, launched an attack on the islands, and shells fell on the islands with a shocking momentum, and the primary targets were the government and garrison camps on the islands.
"Boom ......"
The government and the barracks were razed to the ground, and the inhabitants of the islands were panicked, and even the garrisons were in a panic.
The Chinese army began to land after several rounds of bombardment, and soon the Fuso garrison on the island surrendered, first the Amami Islands, and then the islands, and no garrison dared to resist under the cannons of the Chinese fleet.
Okinawa Island Naha, the former capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom, the huge Chinese warships in the port shocked the local government of Naha, and hurriedly asked the garrison to launch a counterattack.
Some time ago, about 10,000 of the army that was preparing to reinforce the bay were left on Okinawa because the ships were blown up, and coupled with the military defense of Naha, the local garrison thought that it could resist the Huaxia fleet, and then support until the arrival of the imperial fleet.
"Boom! Bang! Bang! ”
Before the Huaxia fleet could attack, Naha's Fuso garrison attacked, and the turrets on the shore continued to fire.
"Boom ......"
The dozen or so warships surrounding Naha first sank all the ships in the harbor and then launched a fierce attack on the shore. After a while, the island's artillery was destroyed by warships, countless shells flew towards the island, and the Fuso garrison was blown up, but it was still resisting strongly.
Other warships landed elsewhere on Okinawa and then began to encircle and suppress the island's garrison.
A few hours later, the garrison on Okinawa either surrendered or was annihilated, and Shoshun was killed on the spot in his own home, and the entire family was killed.
In less than ten hours, the entire Ryukyu Islands were controlled by the Chinese fleet, and the Ryukyu Islands were recovered by chance.
