Chapter 67: Clever Capture of the Japanese Ship

In the private room of the restaurant in Busan City, the captain of the ironclad battleship Soryu, Kameda Nagakai Osa, the captain of the Tenryu ironclad battleship Hideki Tanaka, and the commander of the naval garrison of Busan Port, Hiroshi Yamaguchi, after the three of them raised their glasses and drank all the wine in the glass, Yamaguchi Hiroshi said: "Kameda-kun and Tanaka-kun, now the strength of our combined fleet is several times stronger than before the Yellow Sea War, I believe that the combined fleet will definitely be able to defeat the Beiyang Naval Division of the Qing Dynasty and avenge the defeat in the Yellow Sea!" ”

Kameda Nagakai's eyes showed hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I must wipe out the entire Beiyang Naval Division and avenge my brother who died in the naval battle!" ”

In the Battle of the Yellow Sea, the liaison officer sent by Japan to the Italian warship Kameda Hongwei Osa, who was Kameda Nagakai's own brother, was in the bridge of the Italian ironclad battleship flagship Italia at that time.

And the fast protection cruiser Tsukikai of the Second Fleet of the Naval Academy, fired a 155-mm shell like a divine help, hitting the narrow window of the bridge of the Italia, and the shell exploded in the bridge, and Kameda Hongwei was hit in the chest by two shrapnel, one of which hit Kameda Hongwei's heart.

Hideki Tanaka nodded and said, "Now the soldiers of our combined fleet have been trained day and night, and they are basically familiar with the newly purchased warship!" I believe that after a period of time, the soldiers will become more familiar with the new warships, and then the combat effectiveness of the 21 newly purchased British * ships will be completely released! Our combined fleet will definitely defeat the Beiyang Naval Division! Kameda-kun will be able to avenge his brother when the time comes! ”

Kameda Nagakai spat out a sip of wine and said: "This time, our two ironclad battleships escorted the landing of the army in Busan, and transported 40 of the latest British 127mm howitzers!" The army has already invested 12 divisions in Korea and Liaodong, and I heard from a fellow from the War Department that the army is still preparing to wait for the formation of the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th divisions to be formed, and then put two or three divisions into the battlefield! ”

Hideki Tanaka said with a mysterious expression: "Kameda-kun, the information I got is more accurate, the two or three divisions that the army is preparing to put into the battlefield are waiting for our combined fleet to defeat the Beiyang Naval Division, and prepare for landing in Shandong to attack the Weihaiwei base of the Beiyang Naval Division!" The meaning of the base camp is to completely uproot the Beiyang Naval Division! ”

Hiroshi Yamaguchi said: "Here I want to congratulate the two first, who are about to be promoted to major generals!" "The Japanese Combined Fleet is ready to raise the captain of the ironclad battleship to the rank of rear admiral!

Kameda Nagakai and Tanaka Hideki smiled at the same time and nodded, "Thank you!" Yamaguchi-kun! ”

Hiroshi Yamaguchi said, "Come! To defeat the Beiyang Naval Division! Cheers! ”

Kameda Nagakai and Tanaka Hideki echoed and said, "To defeat the Beiyang Naval Division!" Cheers! ”

In the port of Busan, several groups of Japanese sentries were silently dealt with by the marines of the marines, and Ju Peng led the marines to touch the underside of the two ironclad battleships.

Ju Peng made a "up" gesture to the soldiers of the landing team, and the soldiers of the 1st battalion of marines divided into two teams and followed the boarding ladder to the 2 warships. A total of 120 sailors from the power cabin of the Third and Fourth Generals also boarded the two warships.

Ju Peng boarded the Soryu, and sure enough, as the Japanese sentry said, there were not many Japanese naval personnel on the warship, and most of them slept in the sailor's cabin, and the soldiers of the Marine Corps of the well-trained Sailor Academy almost did not make much effort, and all the Japanese troops left behind on the Soryu were wiped out, and they did not use pistols during the period, and only used daggers to cut the necks of the Japanese soldiers left on the ship, and the marines quietly occupied the Soryu.

After a while, a soldier of the Marine Corps reported to Ju Peng, and the Japanese Tenryu next to it also sent a signal, and the Japanese troops of the entire Tenryu were also cleared, and the Tenryu was also in the hands of the Marines!

At this time, Ju Peng, who was excited and excited, ordered in a trembling voice: "Quick!" Fast! Help the people of the Navy to boost the boiler! We must withdraw immediately! ”

No wonder Ju Peng was excited, these are 2 ironclad battleships, although now this kind of ironclad battleships are outdated in front of the newly appeared all-steel battleships, but 2 ironclad battleships with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons can still dominate Asia.

In the process of boosting the boiler pressure of the two ironclad battleships, Ju Peng and others were scared, and their hearts were tugging, constantly begging God not to let the Japanese discover the operation of the Marine Corps to steal ships, otherwise only the thousands of Japanese Navy port garrison troops in the Busan port barracks would be able to leave the marines of the Naval Academy of less than 500 people, and the Navy soldiers transferred from the Third General and the Fourth General, all of them in the Busan Port!

Maybe God heard the begging of Ju Peng and others, and it was very face-saving, the 2 ironclad battleships finally reached the pressure that could be started after 20 minutes of pressurization, and the Japanese army in the port never found out, so that Ju Peng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered excitedly: "Open the ship!" Sail northeast! Rendezvous with the Three Generals and the Four Commanders! ”

At this time, because of the huge exhaust sound made by the start of the two warships, the soldiers of the Japanese Navy port garrison in the port were alarmed!

A Japanese officer shouted, "What's the matter with the warship?" Send someone to ask! ”

At this time, a Japanese soldier found the body of the sentry and shouted: "Not good! Enemy attack! Immediately snapped the rifle in his hand, and the Japanese soldiers in the harbor immediately ran towards the two ironclad battleships in a panic.

Ju Peng stood on the deck of the Canglong, looked at the panicked Japanese soldiers with contempt, and said lightly: "I only found out now that it's over!" Listen to my orders, use the small-caliber rapid-fire guns on the warship, aim me at the Japanese army in the port, and give Lao Tzu a hard beating! Hahaha! Lao Tzu made a fortune tonight! ”

The Marines used the 57mm rapid-fire guns and 47mm rapid-fire guns on the warship to start shelling the panicked Japanese troops in the harbor!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Countless shells fell on the heads of the Japanese soldiers who ran towards the two warships in the harbor, and immediately the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the Japanese soldiers who were bombed scattered and fled!

At this time, a Nakasa of the Japanese port garrison was stunned to look at the guns on the two large Japanese warships, bombarded the Japanese soldiers, and immediately reacted that the warships had been occupied by the enemy!

The Nakasa immediately shouted: "The enemy has captured our warship!" Attack the warship now! The warship must be recaptured! ”

After saying that, Nakasa pulled out his saber and rushed towards the two warships with the Japanese soldiers around him, but it was too late, and the two warships had slowly left the dock and headed for the sea.

When Nakasa rushed to the dock with a large number of Japanese troops, the two ironclad battleships had already left the port dock 300 meters away, and the Japanese soldiers fired uselessly at the two warships with their rifles, and they could only watch the two powerful ironclad battleships that the Japanese combined fleet had just purchased with a huge amount of money being driven farther and farther away by the enemy!

At this time, the naval officers who were celebrating the 50th birthday of the captain of the Soryu in Busan Castle were full of alcohol and ran back to the port in a panic.

Kameda Nagakai, the captain of the Soryu, looked at the two ironclad battleships of the Japanese Combined Fleet in the distance, rolled his eyes, and fainted.

The captain of the Tenryu, Hideki Tanaka, looked at the two warships in the distance with a pale face, and kept saying, "What's going on?" What's going on? Finished! It's all over! ”

Looking at the warship farther and farther away, Hideki Tanaka sat down on the ground in a daze.

Hiroshi Yamaguchi, commander of the Busan Port Naval Garrison, whose face was also bloodless, cheered up and ordered: "Report to the base camp quickly!" There is a Qing army raiding the port of Busan! Snatched the Navy's Soryu and Tenryu! Let the Combined Fleet send warships to intercept it! ”

After Hiroshi Yamaguchi finished the order, he looked at Kameda Nagakai, who was already unconscious, and Hideki Tanaka, who was sitting on the ground in a sluggish manner, and shook his head with a wry smile, if the two powerful ironclad battleships that had just been purchased could not be recovered, he and the two captains would have an unshirkable responsibility, and maybe they would go to the military court!

Now we can only hope that the Combined Fleet will send warships to recapture the 2 ironclad battleships!

Navy personnel drawn from two armored cruisers, with the help of marines, drove two ironclad battleships on a voyage for a while, and then converged with the armored cruisers General III and the armored cruiser General IV on the sea.

Now Ju Peng, Liu Zhuo and others could not care about searching for the Japanese ships transporting prisoners, and the four warships drove at full speed in the direction of the return voyage.

At the same time, Liu Zhuo on the Three Generals originally wanted to use the radio to report the situation directly to Lin Daxin, the principal of the Weihaiwei Naval Academy, but now the location of their four warships is too far away from Weihaiwei, and the shortwave radio station that Lin Daxin purchased from modern time and space cannot contact Weihaiwei at all.

However, the radio station contacted the armored cruiser Grand General and the armored cruiser Second General, two warships that were also searching for Japanese prisoner transport ships, and when they heard the news from the radio station on the Third General, they immediately gave up the search mission and converged on the four warships!
