However, before his fleet officially set off, Boss Yang had to prepare the advance base for the German expeditionary force, because the British did not agree to the German army's use of Hong Kong and Shanghai public concessions as bases, and Li Hongzhang was afraid that the German army would use other Chinese ports as bases.

In fact, there is nothing to prepare, it will definitely be too late to expand the port, you must know that they are coming this time with two latest battleships, the Brandenburg and the Elector with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, he is now using air blowing to blow out two 10,000-ton berths in a few months, and then it is a big deal to let them drift on the sea, anyway, the reason for all this is to blame on the British, as for those accompanying cruisers, whether it is Tamsui or Keelung, they can be docked, and it is better to do coal, Keelung has coal mines, and it was originally an important coaling point on the route from the Americas to China.

The point is that the life problems of these German soldiers are more headaches, and after holding back all the way, how many women do tens of thousands of soldiers need! At first, he wanted to help them, for example, to get his Japanese comfort women, or to recruit a large number of women from the country, you know, this is a good opportunity to make a fortune, but then I thought about giving up this business decisively, let those Germans hold back, and then let them find those Japanese women who don't need to spend money to solve it after landing, didn't Wilhelm II want his soldiers to be Attila? Then it will be done to them.

As for other living materials, there is no need to care about this, as long as the news that almost 30,000 Germans are coming here to replenish the supply is spread, and those Taiwanese businessmen will solve this problem, after arranging these, Yang Feng took his fleet to officially embark on a journey to conquer Japan, of course, the external saying is that Yang Daboss is going north to Korea to resist Japan.

The 5,000 pirate regiment, mainly Zhengan, Yiwu and Taiwanese mercenaries, were escorted by six large landing ships, escorted by an armored cruiser and four destroyers, and sailed to Okinawa under the leadership of the armed yacht of Boss Yang, and asked the soldiers to find the Japanese comfort women for comfort before going to Japan to burn and loot.

And at this time, Liu Mingchuan, who had just arrived in Asan, also experienced the biggest test of his decades-long career in the field, he and his subordinates of 12,000 soldiers will face the attack of 30,000 Japanese troops, the first division has 18,000 people during the war, and the fifth division has 12,000 people after supplementation, and his opponent is General Oyama Iwa, the commander of the Japanese Second Army.

Fortunately, he had enough ammunition, and Li Hongzhang sent him 50 Makqin machine guns and 3 million rounds of matching ammunition, as well as 6,000 Li Enfield rifles, all of which were shipped with Yang Feng's merchant ship transporting poison gas bombs, because Iktanga was appointed as the commander of various armies in Pyongyang, in fact, how well he fought there had nothing to do with Li Er's devils, and he was now sparing no effort to support Asan's own descendants.

This bloody battle soon kicked off, Dashanyan concentrated more than 50 cannons to bombard the main position on the front of Tian'an, of course, this kind of artillery density is too small for the Qing army, not to mention Zhang Gaoyuan here, that is, there are many more cannons in his flank Xu Bangdao's hands than this, and the power of seventy bronze cannons, for the trench system that is now becoming more and more perfect, the firepower is really weak, you must know that the Qing soldiers in Lu Dao now have even learned such things as anti-artillery holes.

Oyama Iwa shelled for half an hour, and then, despite Nozu Michikani's painstaking obstruction, commanded the 1st Division that was put into the battlefield for the first time, and according to the standard textbook offensive tactics, lined up in a dense formation to attack the defense line composed of barbed wire and trenches, which had been reinforced to concrete, and the result was needless to say, in front of the general, who had just been transferred from the post of Minister of War to the front command, staged a perfect tusha, when the dozens of machine guns spewed tongues of fire, When harvesting the lives of his soldiers like a wheat field, the Meiji veteran, who had become one of the first marshals of Japan in history, was directly stunned.

His opponent Liu Mingchuan was also stupid, the first time he saw the trenches, barbed wire and machine gun defense system, he didn't expect the power to be so huge.

"Dashuai, now I can see it, from now on, it is useless for us to learn those means of fighting, as long as the supply can keep up, such a line of defense will die as many as possible, but unfortunately we don't have this thing in Taiwan, and as a result, we have to rely on cutting camps to repel the French, and how many old brothers will die like this." Zhang Gaoyuan said with emotion that he was Liu Mingchuan's official descendant, and he started with Liu Mazi.

Liu Mingchuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although more than 1,000 corpses were left behind, but in this battle, the Japanese army also showed certain bright spots, their imitation grenades appeared, although the number was not much, and because the throwing distance was too far, it only caused a small loss to the Qing army, but it also frightened Zhang Gaoyuan, after repelling the Japanese attack, he hurriedly repaired the barbed wire, and expanded the protection range of this thing to two hundred meters away, anyway, he has barbed wire here, two hundred meters of barbed wire even if the Japanese army can rush to the bomb throwing distance, It is estimated that there are not many deaths.

Just when the two sides were fighting a bloody battle between Tian'an and Chenghuan, Boss Yang also took his pirate team to get up from the Japanese comfort women, and then set off with satisfaction, sailing northeast from Naha Port to Osaka to the speed of the fleet at eighteen knots, which was only more than 30 hours, although in order to ensure concealment, he went around a little in a circle at sea, and when the next day was night, he had already seen the light of the lighthouse on the Kii Peninsula.

"Four hundred years ago, there was a group of people called the Japanese Kou, they burned and looted along the coast of China, the scourge for centuries, countless innocent people were tusha by them, countless Chinese wealth was robbed by them, countless Chinese women were raped by them, this history I believe you Yiwu people know best, it was your ancestors who followed Qi Jiguang to beat them out of their homeland." Yang Feng said to one of his Ukrainian officers.

His pirate regiment is a brigade-level establishment, with the gradual maturity of the veterans of the town, the officers of Europe and the United States are gradually withdrawing, including the three regiment commanders, the vast majority of the officers are now the townsmen, a small number of Yiwu and Taiwanese mercenaries who performed well have also been promoted, and even the commander has been replaced by a man named Li Yuncong, the original retired colonel of the British army, is now the commander of the Kuwaiti garrison, with a thousand troops dominated by European mercenaries there to watch the Arabs, by the way to train the Saudis, so that one day they can recapture their country.

As for Johnson, who was the first to follow him, he is now the security captain of the Suleiman oil field in Masjid, leading 500 mercenaries to provide security for the most important oil supplier in Europe, and the father of Caiyi's sister, Han Fang, is now in full charge of his two territories in Western Australia, in addition to the resettlement of the families of the casualties and mercenaries, almost half of the Chinese mercenaries who died before him chose to emigrate, and nearly 100 disabled veterans also chose to move their families. Not only is the land planted low and there are countless taxes to pay, but in Western Australia there are countless places for them to cultivate, and they do not have to pay any taxes.

As for the attitude of Zhengfu in Western Australia, this does not need to be considered, and now the Yang consortium is the mastermind behind the scenes, especially with the development of Yang Feng's series of investment plans, he is not much different from the king in Western Australia.

"But we haven't avenged this revenge until today, we are not saints, we are not those green worms, we are talking about a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, the revenge of four hundred years ago has not been avenged, then today I will take you to take revenge, to avenge your ancestors, in front of Osaka, the core of Japanese commerce, just like our Shanghai, today your task is to rob the city and burn it down, just like their ancestors did in our country back then." Yang Feng shouted in a cranky manner.

The emotions of his subordinates were immediately mobilized, Yang Feng's mercenary looting income was divided into sixty or four with him, sixty percent as the return on Yang Feng's investment, and forty percent as a reward, a city similar to Shanghai, just think about it, you can know how much wealth will be waiting for you here, as for the resistance of the Japanese, these are not worth mentioning, especially those veterans of the town pole, that are all regarded as human life as a mustard, dare to resist and kill!

In Japan, not far from them, at this time, they didn't know the slightest way, a group of robbers were about to enter their own door, of course, even if they knew the road, they couldn't do anything, now the Japanese army only has two divisions on the mainland, and the Kumamoto division is in Kyushu, they can't rush here, the only one who can come over is the Guards Division in Tokyo, but the problem is that they are more than 400 kilometers away from Osaka, even if they take the train through the Tokaido main line, plus the time for the army to assemble, I'm afraid they won't be able to get here in one day.

What's more, because the railway was laid along the coastline to avoid Japan's mountainous terrain, the construction difficulty was solved, but it also caused a serious hidden danger, and naval guns could be used to break them at sea.

As long as the Marauder completes the cover task of landing, it can directly turn around and go north, find a suitable position to blow up this railway, and because there are many bridges along the way, it can be said that you can find a random estuary location to get a few shots, and the Guards Division thinks of Osaka, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to complete it in less than a week.

The fleet did not rush to attack, but first stopped in the open sea, and waited until the early hours of the morning, under the guidance of the lighthouse on Awaji Island, quietly sailed into the Kii waterway, outside the mouth of the Kitam Strait, and by the moonlight, the muzzle of the 130 cannon was aimed at the batteries of Yura, Tomoshima, and Katai at the same time, as for the specific location of these batteries, this was a trivial matter for Boss Yang, who had a large number of data maps obtained through those foreign profiteers.

"Prepare to attack." Yang Feng, who turned to the Marauder, personally gave an order to the gunners, and the wooden boxes with skulls were opened one by one, and the mustard gas shells were loaded into the barrels.
