"Don't say it, it's really windy up there." When Zhang Yun came down, the snot that had been blown and tears flowed down together!

"Pick up the point." Lushun pipe band Deng Shichang was made to cry and laugh by Zhang Yun's words.

"It's a big fire. It's such a pleasure to set this fire! Zhang Yun sighed. But seeing that Deng Shichang's face was obviously cloudy, Zhang Yun immediately took out a picture and said: "Captain, look, this picture is clearly drawn, and the red area is estimated to be burned to the point that only the ground remains." Examples include the dock area of the Yokosuka Shipyard and the fire site and office area of the Port of Yokosuka. The yellow ones are the areas where the burns are more severe, including the boiler manufacturing area of the Yokosuka Shipyard, and some ships that have been affected by the berth mooring in the port, because of the distance, some berths are not reachable, in short, there are not many ships that have been directly knocked down, but there are still a few that have been affected by the way. ”

"Which, you sort it out first, and write a report on the situation before dinner today." Listening to Zhang Yun's somewhat incoherent report, Deng Shichang couldn't help but shake his head.

"Deng Guandao, this is less than 2 hours away from the meal." Zhang Yun wiped his sweat and said.

"After I finish writing, I will open a small stove for you." Deng Shichang feigned anger and said, "This thing is for you, do you know where to exchange money?" After speaking, Deng Shichang handed a few checks to Zhang Yun and the others.

"Obediently, 300 taels of silver, it's too easy to make money, right?" Someone behind him shouted excitedly. "Guaranteed to complete the mission!" To the cheers of the crowd, several members of the balloon team went to prepare to write their report.

When night falls. The Beiyang Express Fleet had withdrawn from the Uraga Waterway, but did not leave with other ships, but anchored in the open sea, and the Beiyang Fast Fleet also came to the officers' meeting room of the Tianjin, the fleet's main flagship, to discuss the next plan.

"The results were brilliant. But it's not thorough enough! Looking at the picture that took Zhang Yun and others more than an hour to reorganize, Yang Yonglin expressed his opinion.

"That's right. Although the fire burned so hard that even the city was affected, the factory area of the Yokosuka shipyard was not destroyed. The Japanese were already trying to repair the damaged equipment in the factory area before the shelling ended. Lin Yongsheng said.

"Actually, we have the option to retreat now. The Yokosuka shipyard has lost the ability to provide repairs for the Russian Far East Fleet, and even because of the shipwrecks and mines, the Russian fleet may not even be able to enter the Uraga waterway. We can go to Osaka or anywhere else now. In contrast to the others, Luang Weili believed that there was no need to continue attacking the port of Yokosuka when the purpose of the battle had been achieved. **!Book. Bar*

"Actually, it's easy to paralyze Japanese ports, but the purpose of the Beiyang Fleet is not only that." Xu Jie sneered, "In my plan, Japan should not have a navy. Not only can't there be a strong fleet, but even the related supporting facilities shouldn't exist! ”

"Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots? This is just too ruthless. If it continues to fight, the Yokosuka Shipyard will become a historical name. Luang Wili wiped the cold sweat that had fallen from his head.

"So, let's focus on this goal and refine tomorrow's battle plan." Xu Jie set the tone for the meeting.

"At present, there are not many 10-inch main gun shells and 8-inch main gun shells left in the fleet. If the Yokosuka shipyard was to be completely destroyed, then a large number of 6-inch guns would have to be needed. So I propose to first concentrate the 6-inch shells to ensure the use of the Tianjin. Xu Jie said the plan that he had thought about during the day.

"Judging by the report of the minesweeper team, the return class can be a little further ahead, after all, the tonnage is smaller. The draft is shallow, and because supplies and ammunition are consumed a lot, the draft will be shallower, and the Suiyuan is more seriously injured and difficult to operate in shallow water, but the remaining two battleships should be fine. Lin Yongsheng said. …,

"Tomorrow morning, the minesweeper team will go to survey the hydrological situation, and if it can, then follow Lord Lin's words." Xu Jie nodded in agreement.

"And what happens after the battle? What is the next move for the fleet? Deng Shichang asked.

After the battle, Lord Lin returned to Lushun with the three ships of Guiyuan for maintenance and supply, and then joined the Beiyang Fleet led by Admiral Ding. I led the main fleet to Shanghai for supplies, where there were 10-inch shells and Welsh anthracite coal from the British, which saved more time. "The purpose of Xu Jie's arrangement is to ensure the foolproof nature of the Beiyang Fleet. The whereabouts of the Russian fleet were uncertain. In the face of the strengthened Beiyang Fleet, the Russians will probably have to weigh it carefully if they want to move, as for the three Garibaldi-class armored cruisers led by Xu Jie, they themselves are strong and powerful. Even if you can't hit it, you won't be able to get a few shells. If you want to go, the Russians will definitely not be able to stop it!

Subsequently, after finalizing some details, the senior generals of the Beiyang Rapid Fleet began to prepare for tomorrow's battle, and a large number of 6-inch shells were taken out of the ammunition depots of each ship and sent to the Tianjin. The members of the Balloon Observation Post worked with the Gunners to define the shelling reference points and further refine the area. And all that has been done will be rewarded tomorrow.

When the sun rose over the sea, the Japanese began preparations for a large-scale clean-up of the shelling site, and a large number of manpower and supplies were mobilized from the surrounding area, and they needed to continue to extinguish some scattered fire points. Rescue the wounded and clean up the rubble. Find and repair damaged machinery, and see if you can find anything that hasn't been affected. The entire area around Tokyo Bay has been mobilized. They want to do their best to save this place that is so vital to Japan!

Just when the Japanese started work, the Beiyang Fleet was also going to start work!! Under the guidance of several minesweepers, the Beiyang Fast Fleet reappeared in the Uraga waterway! After paying the price of a minesweeper striking a mine. The two Guiyuan-class cruisers finally arrived at the firing position. And the Luang Weili fleet also stopped in the distance, and the main guns of each ship readjusted their parameters and aimed at the Yokosuka shipyard again!

"That's a lot of people. If this is over, how many people will die? "Raised on a hot air balloon. An observer said.

"It's better to fight a war than to let them repair the battleship and kill themselves." Zhang Yun snorted and said. "If this battle can make Japan break off the idea of offending our Qing Dynasty, how many fewer people can die."

"Fire!" With a huge shock, five battleships in the Beiyang began a new round of shelling. The Japanese, who were cleaning up the ruins in the factory area, never dreamed that the Beiyang Fleet would come to shell again! A variety of shells landed on the Yokosuka Shipyard factory area, which was still in good condition. Although there are not as many heavy artillery shells as yesterday. (The ships had already consumed a lot of shells in yesterday's battle), but the intensity of the shelling was no worse than yesterday. A large number of 6-inch shells hit the head and covered the brain. In the face of unreinforced targets, from the point of view of destruction. A large number of 6-inch shells was no worse than 10-inch and 8-inch guns!

Suddenly, the entire Yokosuka Plant Industrial Zone was covered in flames and smoke. The loud explosion silenced the shouts and screams of the people. For the first time, a large number of Japanese civilians who came to the rescue came into contact with the war at such a close distance, and touched death! In the face of those Beiyang giants in the distance. For the first time, they felt the horror and despair of war. The other side was just a few kilometers away and fired indiscriminately at the heart of Japan. But both the once powerful Japanese Combined Fleet and the fortresses that had been built with great effort were wiped out in the face of this powerful firepower!

Look at the rising plumes of smoke and fire in the factory area in the distance. Some of them finally had a nervous breakdown, breathing in some hot, pungent air, as well as the sound of shells and collapsed houses not far away. Plus the wails of the dying and the gore of the eyes. They decisively chose to escape, what seven lives to serve the country, what is the loyalty of His Majesty the Emperor? At this moment, they just wanted to get away quickly. Because they found that all this was no longer something they could compete with. What is even more terrifying is that they found that more than 20 years after the Meiji Restoration, Japan, which was bent on westernization and war preparedness, was still unable to compete with that big country in the East! There is nothing saddest in life than despair. And at this moment they were completely hopeless! …,

"Japan is finished." Standing on a hill in the distance, looking at the messy Yokosuka area. Prince Akihito Komatsu said with tears in his eyes.

"I didn't expect Li Hongzhang to do things so desperately!" Mutsu Somitsu on the side gritted his teeth and said.

"If Japan can win, Japan will do even better!" Prince Komatsu said. "It's a pity that Japan will never have a chance, does Michinoku-kun know? This battle has wiped out all the accumulation of the Japanese Restoration in the past 20 years! Even if you win, it's a meaningless victory! ”

"So where does Japan go from here?" Mutsu Munemitsu asked.

"I don't know how to do it, but I'm more worried about Russia than the Qing Kingdom. The Qing State is a decaying country, but Russia is an existence that even the European powers fear. Prince Komatsu's eyes were full of worry.

The second shelling of the Beiyang Fleet was devastating to the Yokosuka shipyard, and the buildings in the factory area were completely defenseless against the shelling. Not only cannonballs, but even large pieces of a single piece can tear off half of the roof! In order to catch up with the schedule, the Japanese piled up a large number of raw materials in the factory, and there were many flammable and explosive products among these raw materials. Many things seem to be safe, but once they are dispersed into the air, a fire can cause an explosion. (e.g. some metal chips, etc.) and in the face of shells with picric acid charges, these things directly turned the entire plant into a sea of fire. A large number of machinery and equipment were either destroyed by collapsed houses. Or burned by the flames. Even more unfortunate was being hit directly by heavy artillery. Directly blown apart.

"The shelling of the port of Yokosuka will have an extremely far-reaching impact on the situation in East Asia in the future. Which dragon in the East has finally awakened after sleeping for more than half a century! And its first blow was so terrible and violent. In the 1894 war, Japan, the country closest to the West at the time, had gained considerable strength after more than 20 years of accumulation. But the fact that the port of Yokosuka was blown up by naval guns told the Japanese that there is only one master of East Asia, and that is the great power that has been inherited for thousands of years! And Japan can only be his vassal! Although this giant dragon has not fully awakened, his strength has already shocked the world! Felimante wrote in his memoirs after learning about this.
