The huge fleet of the Eight-Nation Coalition was riding the wind and waves at sea, and a British cruiser was silently watching in the distance, and then quickly sent a wireless telegram to the British Embassy in Tokyo about the whereabouts of this fleet, and then the British Embassy secretly informed the Japanese side. If it was Yang Feng himself, the British would definitely not make such a big effort to help the Japanese, after all, this product is not so easy to offend, but if Germany and Russia are added, they will be happy to watch a good show. Let the Japanese give these guys a little hardship first, and the British Zhengfu can take the opportunity to intervene in mediation, stop the German and Russian ambitions, and at the same time get some benefits from the Japanese by the way.

Of course, Yang Feng and the Germans are also very clear about this.

"Why do our British friends like Japan so much? They didn't seem to be as over-the-top as they are today when I went there by myself?" Yang Feng sat on the deck of the Nautilus, looked at the British warship that was following from afar, and said to Waldzer innocently.

The headquarters of the coalition forces were located on this ship, and even His Majesty the King of the Ryukyus, who was personally piloted the expedition, and Tomorrow Daily boasted about this as a gimmick in Europe. Prince Sang-in marched north to rescue his father and brother, who had been brutally imprisoned by the Japanese, and then exchanged the throne for King Sangtai like a true gentleman. King Sangtae lovingly passed the throne to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the grounds of his advanced age, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince decided that his younger brother was more suitable to lead the people than himself, so he relinquished the throne to King Sang-in. This set of Wang Da drama, which is full of father's love and filial piety, has already been written, although the army of King Shangyin is only twenty people.

Waldzer naturally understood that Yang Feng was sowing discord, but in the end, the British did go a little too far this time, and the entire world was robbed by you. Now we're just extending our hands a little bit, and you're getting in the way. This habit of always eating alone is very outrageous.

"When we take Tokyo, they'll regret it." Waldzer took the coffee Min Yongjun had poured for him, and said as he tasted it. Lord Min is very aware of his identity, since he got on this noble black ship, he has always behaved more subserviently, which has also won the unanimous favor of the coalition command, including Waldze, and praised Lord Min for being worthy of being a well-educated Confucian, loyal and good in Korea, in short, there are many respectable evaluations.

"Yang, what do you want in this war?" Waldzer looked at Tanegashima in the distance and asked Yang Feng curiously, now that he couldn't hide his whereabouts. The fleet simply drove directly close to the coast of Kyushu, and also gave the Japanese a good look at what a formidable enemy they were about to face, more than 30 warships, more than a dozen troop transports formed a continuous fleet, and sailed proudly through Kagoshima, so close that they could even take a telescope to see the nervous Japanese soldiers on the shore defense batteries.

Yang Feng pointed to Tanegashima next to the guide.

"I'll take it from there to the south." The traitor said with a smile.

Waldzer shrugged indifferently, nothing more than a series of small islands.

Upon hearing the news that the Eight-Nation Coalition had crossed the island of Kyushu, Ito Hirobumi gritted his teeth and ordered the terrible news to be blocked, and there were already fugitives in Tokyo. If you learn of this bad news, I am afraid that you will already be in chaos without the enemy attacking.

Today, the Japanese in Tokyo have turned into marmots, and hundreds of thousands of migrant workers have gathered in the east and west directions, digging trenches day and night. Turned the whole of Tokyo into a rat nest. These trenches are not too deep, basically about one meter two, which is also helpless. After all, you have to take care of the height factor of your soldiers, but they don't understand things like anti-artillery holes. The Japanese have only seen those copycats of Iktanga. The genuine trench system of Asan, they have not yet had the opportunity to see it. In addition, although there are barbed wires, there are not many of them, and there are only a very small number of them in Japan, and even if they are all collected, they will not be enough to protect a trench.

However, this is not difficult for the wise Japanese people, there is no barbed wire, there are still some ordinary wires, and various types of iron wires requisitioned from all over the country are continuously transported to Tokyo, and then erected with wooden stakes to form obstacles in front of the trenches, and they also invent the creative addition of mines as a mass killing weapon.

However, the Japanese, like Iktanga, did not know that Lu Dao dug their trenches into a zigzag, but dug them into a straight line, which later made them suffer a big loss, because there was no machine gun, so there was no such thing as a machine gun fort, but the old-fashioned breech cannon lifted out of the pile of rags was put on the trench, plus the same ancient shotgun, so that Yang Feng, who received the secret report of the spies in the city, seemed to see the figure of the great Boxer warriors in a trance.

"Yang, judging from this information, the Japanese are creating a lot of trouble for us." Looking at the intelligence Xiao Moltke said with a solemn face, the defense system of trenches, machine guns, and barbed wire has been tested by the Battle of Asan, and now it has become more and more valued by the great powers, and even many foreign officers stationed in China have visited it, and this complete killing machine has made them full of praise, claiming that it is the greatest innovation in the history of war.

"They don't have artillery, they don't have machine guns or even enough rifles, and believe me, as the inventor of this defensive system, I know better than anyone how to attack him." Yang Feng said lightly, of course, the most important thing is that they have no poisonous gas.

"General, the Japanese Navy has attacked, there are a total of six torpedo boats, two wooden cruisers and three gunboats, and the forward alert fleet is being cleared." In order to satisfy Yang Feng's bad taste, the younger sister in the colorful dress wearing a German-style M1936 female officer dress of the Wehrmacht came over to report, looking like a female spy of the Kuomintang.

Yang Feng nodded thoughtfully.

The remaining four capital ships of the Combined Fleet are still on the west coast, and their main task is to keep an eye on the Korean Strait in case the Beiyang Naval Division attacks the port of Busan.

All the battleships of the brave and almost suicidal Japanese Navy on the east coast, which were completely wiped out in less than half an hour of naval battle, a fleet of five Marauders and four German cruisers, an American cruiser, held a warm, friendly, sportsmanlike shooting contest at sea. The last destroyer, the Swift from the Swedish Navy, won the championship, and with the insane rate of fire of the 76 guns and the speed of up to 37 knots, the destroyer sank four Japanese warships on its own.

In the roar of the 280 main guns of the Brandenburg-class battleships and the 260 main guns of the Saxony-class battleships, this small city that originated from the shogunate and the coastal defense batteries on the Miura Peninsula next to it were reduced to ruins in less than half an hour.

They did not meet any resistance, the Japanese were not fools, fighting within the coverage of naval guns was tantamount to suicide, they were all waiting in the trenches north of Yokohama, in fact the entire coastal defense had been abandoned, as long as the Yokosuka fortress was there, it was possible to block the Eight-Nation Coalition forces beyond Tokyo Bay. The closest distance from the Kamakura landing to Tokyo was more than 50 kilometers, and all the way was a plain covered with rivers, so the Japanese could maximize the advantage of the trenches. As long as they can hold on for ten days, the army of Qinwang from all walks of life, including the 1st and 5th Divisions, and even the Kumamoto Division, can arrive, not to mention the total annihilation of the invading enemy army, and it is still very certain to force them back to the sea.

And then turn around and go all out to attack China and make up for what was lost, this is Ito Hirobumi's strategy, and it can be seen in the battle of the Qingchuan River that the First Army does have the strength to fight across the Yalu River, and it is not too much to fight Shengjing to force the Manchu government to negotiate peace, and then double the reparations to the Germans to get back.

Since there is no block, then the landing process is very smooth, although Kamakura has no port, but it can't stand Yang Feng has landing ships, all the heavy equipment of the coalition forces is fully loaded in the remaining two landing ships, including artillery of various calibers, and even vehicles, war horses, are directly sent to the beach. At the same time, the ships put down their small boats and transported the infantry from the troop carriers, and after a whole day and a night of busyness, by the evening of the next day, all the allied forces of nearly 30,000 men had landed, and a military camp stretching for more than ten kilometers from Kamakura to Sagami River had been established.

That night, the armies were assigned tasks, and the troops were divided into three routes, and 5,000 German troops under the command of Moltke the Younger cooperated with the naval fleet to attack the Yokosuka fortress. Moreover, with Yang Feng's radio station, the fleet at sea can cooperate with the infantry very tacitly, and the Miura Peninsula stretches out alone, and with the current range of the fleet's main guns, it can even shell Yokosuka from three directions.

Yang Feng's Ottoman Turkish Army and Song Qingbu Yi Army, plus the Asahi and Ryu armies attacked Yokohama, while Waldze led 15,000 German troops to attack directly to Kawasaki and Tokyo. Since he is willing to test his firepower, then Yang Feng is naturally very welcome, Yokohama is not bad, how many years of old docks, there must be a lot of things worth starting.

In this way, at dawn the next day, the three armies simultaneously launched an attack on their respective targets. (To be continued......)
