At this time, Diaoyu Shrimp Island was already an important naval base of the Chinese Empire at sea, and more than two battleships were stationed here, but because the Eastern Ocean Fleet was now in a vacuum, only two Wanghai-class heavy cruisers were stationed here, and the first action Yamamoto Gonbei decided to do was to attack Diaoyu Shrimp Island.

The reason why the Japanese navy was the first to attack Diaoyu Island was not only because Diaoyu Island was an important naval base, but also because it stored more than a quarter of the supplies and ammunition of the Eastern Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Empire, and these two Wanghai-class heavy cruisers were also two of the only four large warships in the Eastern Ocean Fleet.

Two Fuso-class battleships, two Kongo-class battleships, and four cruisers of the highest class, this is already all the mobile strength of the rebuilt Wa Navy, and the remaining several large warships will attack the Ezo Navy at the same time tonight.

The Japanese fleet, which was speeding on the sea at night, did not notice it, and not far from the route, a small periscope was observing them, and when the Japanese fleet was moving away, the water began to make a splash, and a dark submarine rose to the surface.

"Quickly start the long-range high-power radio station and send a report to the command headquarters, and find that four battleships and four cruisers of the main fleet of the Japanese State are sailing towards Diaoyu Shrimp Island."

The captain quickly gave the order: "Power cabin, the diesel engine will be turned on immediately to charge the battery." ”

"They're finally here." Fang Xiaoyu sat in the navy war room yawning, since he gave such a big bait to the Japanese Navy, he had time to soak here, and today finally had news.

Fang Xiaoyu stretched his waist and said: "Everything is going according to the predetermined plan, don't come to me again until there is no big mistake, I want to take a shower to make up for sleep." ”

Liu Junguo said: "Your Majesty, what should I do with the coastal artillery of this shrimp island?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "The artillery fortifications of Diaoyu Island are so strong, it will be fine, just let them fight, if they are all withdrawn, the Japanese country will find out about the plan." ”

Liu Junguo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll only evacuate the personnel on the ship and the port personnel." ”

Zhang Haiyang said: "Our supplies have been transferred." ”

Liu Junguo nodded: "It's been transferred, you go and inform the Diaoyu Island to enter combat readiness, and let the coastal artillery in all ports enter combat readiness, this operation of the Japanese State is missing several capital ships, we have to be careful, don't make any mistakes." ”

Zhang Haiyang nodded: "I'll notify you immediately." ”

The fleet of the Japanese country was slowly approaching the island, and Yamamoto Gonbei was standing in the command tower, staring at the waters near the island with a telescope. Seeing the unprepared appearance of Shrimp Island, Yamamoto Gonbei said excitedly: "There are no patrol warships, there is no vigilance, our surprise attack has been successful, notify the turret to load and prepare to attack." ”

At this time, at the top of the highest mountain peak on Diaoyu Island, in the fixed lookout post of the Chinese Imperial Navy, the deputy captain of the Diaoyu Island garrison was staring at the Japanese warships on the sea with binoculars: "This group of guys, they will not change their dead nature, this time we must defeat them and rectify them well, so that this group of Japanese dwarfs will not be able to turn over for a hundred years." ”

The captain on the side said: "Don't nag here about uselessness, is the fake warship ready?" ”

The deputy captain said: "It has been prepared for a long time, two cargo ships of more than 6,000 tons, four of 1,000 tons, on which fake batteries and fake bridges are installed, and they are now in the harbor." ”

The captain said: "I'm okay over there, our batteries have enough ammunition to defeat them." ”

The deputy captain smiled: "You have to take it easy, if you beat them too hard, Your Majesty will not be able to create public opinion in the world." ”

The captain smiled, "You can just please." ”

"All fire." Gonbei Yamamoto gave the order, and his flagship 'Fuso' fired first, followed by the roar of all the main guns, and the dark night sky of the sea suddenly lit up, followed by a dozen heavy shells falling on the pier of Fishing Island, blowing up pieces of rubble.

"Free fire." Yamamoto Gonbei shouted an order, and soon their shells fell on the fake warship, although it was also more than 6,000 tons, but how can the sinking resistance of the freighter be compared to that of the warship, and two heavy shells hit one of them and sank.

"Great, results." Yamamoto Gonbei shouted excitedly, not realizing that the sinking of these warships seemed to be too easy. It is no wonder that in recent years, the Japanese navy has been suppressed by the Chinese Empire too miserably, and once these grievances are vented, they will inevitably get out of control.

"Concentrate on attacking warships, and we must sink these warships as soon as possible." Gonbei Yamamoto shouted.

After two minutes of shelling by the Japanese navy, the coastal defense artillery began to return fire, and the large-caliber coastal defense artillery immediately began to roar, but because the guards here were cut in half in advance, the density of fire was not large.

Soon, the Japanese navy sank several fake warships, and Yamamoto Gonbei, who had gradually calmed down, also began to wonder how the warships of the Chinese Empire were so easy to destroy, but he had no time to think about it now, so he could only concentrate on dealing with the shelling of the opponent's coastal batteries.

Despite the considerable reduction in the density of the fire of the coastal batteries, the results were quickly achieved, as a shell from a 330-mm coastal defense gun accurately hit the deck of a cruiser of the highest order, and a huge shell with a time-delay fuse smashed directly through the deck and into the interior of the hull, exploding near the bottom of the ship.

This is a cruiser with a displacement of less than 4,000 tons, how can it withstand such a powerful attack, not to mention that due to the lack of resources, the Japanese country has always had a mentality that it can be saved.

The ship designers of the Japanese Kingdom believed that the bottom of the ship would not be attacked, so the bottom of the Japanese warship was very weak, and it suffered such a violent explosion that the bottom of the ship was directly broken, and a large amount of seawater poured into the hole to make the breach bigger and bigger, and the whole warship began to sink slowly.

"Your Excellency, the caliber of the opponent's shore artillery is very large, anyway, we have achieved our goal, we should retreat immediately." The anxious proposal of the captain of the battleship Fuso.

Yamamoto Gonbei hesitated: "But the other party's supply warehouse hasn't been blown up yet." ”

The captain advised: "But we have already lost a cruiser, and our navy does not have much money, so we can't afford to lose it easily." ”

Yamamoto Gonbei nodded: "Okay, let's go back." ”

Navy Commander Liu Junguo had already anticipated the attack of the Japanese National Assembly on the heavy cruiser fleet on Diaoyu Island, so they cleverly used cargo ships to fool the battle, and the navy did not suffer much damage, but it was different on Ezo Island.

Liu Junguo is not a god, he can't count everything, so in order to be safe, he asked the national coastal defense artillery to strengthen their vigilance, but unfortunately he still underestimated the short-sightedness of the Japanese people, but he didn't expect that the ultimate goal of the Japanese country was the Ezo country, and the few small warships in the Ezo country at this time had all sunk to the bottom of the sea.

"My lord, our warships have sunk." A coastal defense artilleryman reports to Aik, the coastal defense commander of Ezo Country.

At this time, Aik's face was blackened by cannon fodder, and he was only wearing a shirt, and he was awakened by the sound of artillery in his sleep, so he ran before he even had time to put on his military uniform.

The coastal forts of Ezo could not be compared with those of the Chinese Empire, they were not so wealthy, that is, they did not have strong enough reinforced concrete fortifications, and they did not have enough large-caliber artillery, and the largest caliber of all shore fortifications was only 155 mm.

This kind of artillery is already very huge for the army, but it is nothing in the navy, even the main guns of cruisers are much larger.

The Ezo artillery was in despair at this time, and they endured the indiscriminate bombardment of the enemy's artillery fire, resisting in vain with artillery that did not work at all.

Seeing his own gun emplacements destroyed one by one, Aik's eyes turned red. "I can't sacrifice in vain anymore, tell the brothers to retreat quickly, I have something to bear." Ayq shouted orders to his officers.

The officer said, "But, my lord, it is a felony to run away from the battle. ”

"There is no hope for us here, only by getting out of the range of the naval guns can we have a chance of survival, if we all fight the brothers here, how can we stop the invasion of the Japanese people." Listen to me, get out of the way. ”

Under Ayq's orders, the coastal artillerymen quickly retreated, but before retreating, they had the pain to blow up their cannons to avoid the enemy. They then left the battery with their rifles and a few small light cannons, and soon disappeared into the forest.

Seeing that resistance was gradually lost on the fort, the ambitious Japanese commander immediately ordered the accompanying infantry to land.

Since Ezo and Wa were separated by only one strait, a large number of Japanese soldiers did not even use transport ships, they just requisitioned a large number of fishing boats and went to the battlefield.

As soon as the commander of the Japanese State who was in charge of the offensive task gave an order, the two divisions of the Japanese State and nearly 40,000 people landed one after another on fishing boats, and it was easy to occupy the beachhead without resistance, and the Japanese soldiers who came ashore immediately formed a formation and searched the forest.

"These fools really dare to chase into the forest." Sitting on a tree, Ayik observes the Japanese army on the beach with a telescope.

Ayk slid down the tree and ordered: "Brothers, we have only been a minor setback, so do not be discouraged. Now that they have escaped the cover of the warship's cannons and burrowed into our woods, it is time for us to show off our skills. Our Ezo warriors can't let people look down on them. ”

The soldiers' morale was immediately boosted by Ayk's words, and they said yes loudly, and then dispersed to find their own advantageous combat positions.

When the Japanese soldiers enter the forest on their short legs, it is like entering a natural trap, and the jungle here has always been the world of the Ezo people, and this time is no exception.

"Ahh A scream came, and it turned out that the Japanese soldier had touched the self-made crossbow of the Ezo soldier, and the Japanese soldier was pierced through the heart by an arrow and was angry on the spot. There was another scream, and a soldier was firmly hung on a tree with a nail board made of wood, and it seemed that he was not alive.
