Chapter 213: The Battle of Jiawu in Different Spaces
At this point, the little devils took full control of North Korea. Later, the little devils carried out a brutal massacre against the anti-Japanese faction and rebel forces in North Korea. For a while, the territory of North Korea was filled with blood.
Quan Zhun, Sun Huazhong, Jin Deming, Cui Qingshan, Cheng Douhan and other leaders of the Korean peasant uprising were beheaded by the little devils.
In early June, the Little Japanese joint fleet was deployed to defend the Yellow Sea. While the fleet was on the defensive, the Little Japanese ordered Jin Hong to assemble the cabinet, send out false information, and ask for help from the Chinese Empire, hoping to achieve his dream of ambush and annihilate the Imperial Navy warships.

At the end of June, the Chinese Empire announced that it would send troops to North Korea to maintain political stability in North Korea and protect the safety of the Chinese in North Korea.
Through the so-called "intelligence" of the Imperial Army provided by Toushan Man, the little devil prepared to launch an undeclared attack on the Chinese Imperial Navy at the mouth of Asan Bay in North Korea and in the waters southwest of Toyoshima.
The Japs believe that with the imperial intelligence provided by Touyama Manchu on their side, the battle against the unprepared Chinese Imperial Navy Fleet will end with a complete victory. After defeating the Imperial Fleet and gaining control of the sea, they will control everything.
.
On July 9, 1894, at about 9 o'clock in the morning, three so-called Chinese Imperial troop transport ships appeared in the southwest waters of Fengdao at the mouth of Asan Bay. These three so-called Imperial troop transport ships were attacked by the Japanese Army.
The fleet's first guerrilla echelon cruisers "Yoshino" (flagship), "Naniwa", "Akitsusu" and "Takachiho" intercepted.
The four warships of the little Japanese did not even say hello, but brutally fired at the imperial 'troop transport'. The cannonballs of the little Japanese's warships rained down on the three imperial 'troop transports'.
The ammunition used was Shimose gunpowder invented by a Japanese engineer, Shimose Masajun.
This kind of artillery shell has a series of amazing characteristics. First of all, the artillery shell has extremely high sensitivity.
Even if it hits a small rope, it can cause an explosion.
Moreover, after the explosion, not only will there be shock waves and shell fragments like when an ordinary black powder shell explodes, but it will also be accompanied by a fire with a core temperature of thousands of degrees, which is said to be able to ignite steel.
The flames formed by the explosion of this kind of gunpowder will flow around like gasoline on fire, and can continue to burn for a period of time even in water. In addition, when Shimose gunpowder shells using picric acid as ingredients explode, toxic substances will appear.
The yellow smoke is completely different from the white smoke produced when a black powder shell explodes.
In the later Sino-Japanese War, the Beiyang Navy suffered greatly.
The three 'troop ships' of the Chinese Empire were covered in raging fire in an instant.
Soon after, three of the empire's troop carriers were sunk by the Japs' artillery fire. However, what was extremely strange was that no one on board the 'troop carriers' escaped, and there was not a single body on the sea.
Before the little Japanese captain could figure out what was going on, a Japanese observation sentry reported that enemy warships had been spotted ahead.
Captain Xiaoguizi realized that they were two medium-sized warships from the Chinese Empire. The other party seemed to have discovered the existence of his warships, and actually turned the ship's bow and 'escaped' in the direction from which it came.
The Japanese captain was willing to give up and ordered to pursue the enemy ship at full speed and must sink the enemy ship.
At the same time, he also ordered a signal flare to be fired into the sky to notify his companions that other warships had discovered the enemy ship, and asked his companions to rush to support him and sail to the southwest of Fengdao at the mouth of Asan Bay.
And in the waters 100 nautical miles southwest of Fengdao at the mouth of Asan Bay, more than 20 imperial armored giant ships were quietly moored, hoisting the imperial dragon flag. Among them, the B3 dreadnought battleship was impressively listed.
At this time, on the B3 dreadnought battleship, Deng Shichang was sitting on the command tower as steady as a rock.
What is different from the past is that there is not only a radio antenna on the main mast of the B3 ship, but also a pot-shaped thing. The soldiers of the Imperial Navy all know that it is the special weapon that the Empire has just loaded on it.
'Radar transceiver.
This kind of radar has an effective range of about 80 nautical miles. I heard from Emperor Zhou of the Empire that this is the most rudimentary radar. It is easily interfered by other external factors and the signal is unstable. It is a rudimentary radar and needs further development.
Complete.
Everyone thinks that their emperor is too ambitious. His majesty, the emperor, even said that such advanced technology is low-level and needs improvement. He is simply too greedy!
However, with this kind of advanced radar, it is convenient for everyone. The situation of the Japs attacking the 'troop ship' is reflected on the radar. We are no longer blind at sea, and everything is under control...
In fact, those three so-called 'troop ships' were bait thrown out by the empire. They were three empty ships, Tian Ergou's ghost fleet, towed by steel cables under the water, moving in the direction of the little devil.
With radar, anything is possible.
According to the telegram reports from the Tian Ergou fleet and submarines densely distributed in the waters, the Little Japanese warships were all hidden in the Yellow Sea. The Little Japanese divided their combined fleet into three echelons.
The first guerrilla echelon consists of four Japanese warships: "Yoshino" (flagship) Captain Kaname Kaname; "Takachiho" Captain Nomura Sadao; "Akitsusu" Captain Uemura Hikonoshima; "Naniwa" Captain Togo Heihachiro.
The second echelon of the Imp is also the four-ship battleship fleet of the Imp. The flagship of the battleship "Shimonoseki" is captained by the Imp. The commander of the combined fleet is Ito Yuhiro, and the captain of the "Matsushima" Omoto knows.
The third echelon of the Japs is the five Japs warships, the "Hashidate" captain Hidaka Sonojo, the "Hiei" captain Sakurai Noriyo, the "Fuso" captain Sunset, and the "Saikyo Maru"
Nagagano Yushin, "Akagi" captain Sakamoto Hataro.
The distance between them is not too far. Come to think of it, this is also a sign of the little devil deliberately hiding his strength!
The little devils wanted to use this to lure the Chinese Imperial Navy into rashly advancing, so that they could form a sudden encirclement of the Imperial Navy and achieve their insidious goal of annihilating all Imperial Navy warships.
Unfortunately, they also knew that the empire's navy's ghost fleet had been hiding beside the opponent's warships for a long time. With the rudimentary radar, every move of the little devil was under the absolute control of the ghost fleet.
After comprehensive information from all aspects, Deng Shichang sat on the B3 Dreadnought battleship, and the old man smiled. He smiled so freely, so high-spirited.
All the soldiers of the empire were influenced by Emperor Zhou Yu, and they hated the little Japanese from the bottom of their hearts, so much that they would vomit when they saw the shadow of the little Japanese.
Among them, especially the naval soldiers of the former Beiyang Navy headed by Deng Shichang, it may be that they were impressed by the souls of later generations and another time and space!
This time, the Imperial Navy fought against the Little Japanese Navy. The Emperor issued a very special secret order, requiring the Little Japanese Navy to annihilate all enemy ships at all costs. Zhou Yu even secretly ordered the Little Japanese Navy personnel to annihilate all enemy ships.
Leave no one alive, kill them all!
This secret order made all the Imperial Navy soldiers excited. What a wonderful secret order! What a wonderful Emperor!
His Majesty the Emperor simply understands the psychology of the soldiers at this time very well. Your Majesty knows that everyone wants to avenge their dead compatriots, including those who stayed in Korea and the former Qing soldiers under Li Hongzhang. No matter what, they all want to avenge their dead compatriots.
It’s the Chinese people!
They are not your little devils who have the qualifications to touch them!
You niang little devil, you dare to kill my "people of the empire" in vain. If you don't kill the devil's country, leaving nothing behind, you will be a Chinese warrior and an imperial warrior in vain!
During this expedition, Emperor Zhou Yu was still hiding in the naval fleet. No one's objections would be of any use. In fact, His Majesty the Emperor even secretly went to Weihaiwei for inspection, euphemistically called it an inspection!
At this time, Emperor Zhou Yu was in the radar cabin of the B3 Dreadnought Battleship. No one in the empire understood its performance better than his own emperor.
In addition, another point is that everyone is determined not to allow Emperor Zhou Yu to run to the command tower like he did during the last Manila naval battle. That would be simply too dangerous! Isn’t it?
