However, before his fleet officially set off, Boss Yang had to prepare an advance base for the German expeditionary force because the British did not agree with the German army using the public concessions of Hong Kong and Shanghai as bases, and Li Hongzhang was afraid that the German army would use other Chinese ports as bases.
In the end, Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, so Yang Feng took over the job and actively invited the German expeditionary force to Keelung or Tamsui.
In fact, there is nothing to prepare. It is definitely too late to expand the port. You must know that they are coming this time with the two latest battleships, the Brandenburg and the Grosser Kurfürst, which have a displacement of more than 10,000 tons. He can just blow them with air now.
It is impossible to blow out two 10,000-ton berths in a few months. At worst, they will be left floating on the sea. Anyway, the cause of all this is the British. As for the accompanying cruisers, whether Tamsui or Keelung, they can be left alone.
It is easier to dock and refuel. Keelung has coal mines and was originally an important coal refueling point on the route from America to China.
The key point is that the life problems of these German soldiers are quite troublesome. After struggling all the way, how many women do tens of thousands of soldiers need? At first, this guy wanted to help them, such as getting his Japanese comfort women.
, or recruit a large number of prostitutes from the country, you must know that this is a good opportunity to make a fortune, but then when you want to give up the business decisively, let the Germans hold it in, and then let them log in and find those who don't have to spend money.
After the Japanese women are dealt with, doesn't William II want his soldiers to be Attila? Then let them be fulfilled.
As for other living supplies, there is no need to worry about this. Just spread the news that almost 30,000 Germans are coming here to supply supplies. Those Taiwanese businessmen will solve this problem. After arranging these, Yang Feng took
His fleet officially embarked on a journey to conquer Japan. Of course, the public opinion was that Boss Yang was going north to Korea to fight against Japan.
The 5,000-strong pirate group, mainly composed of mercenaries from Zhengan, Yiwu and Taiwan, were divided into six large landing ships, escorted by an armored cruiser and four destroyers. Led by Boss Yang's armed yacht, they launched a mighty
They sailed to Okinawa, and before going to Japan to burn, kill, and loot, they first asked the soldiers to seek comfort from Japanese comfort women.
At this time, Liu Mingchuan, who had just arrived in Asan, was experiencing the biggest test of his decades-long battlefield career. He and his 12,000 soldiers would face an attack by 30,000 Japanese troops. The First Division battle
The initial establishment was 18,000 men, and the supplemented Fifth Division had 12,000 men. His opponent was General Oyama Iwa, commander of the Japanese Second Army.
Fortunately, he had enough ammunition, and Li Hongzhang sent him fifty Maxim machine guns and three million rounds of matching bullets, as well as six thousand Lee-Enfield rifles, which were all transported with Yang Feng's gas bombs.
It was brought along with the merchant ships, because Iktanga was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the armies in Pyongyang. In fact, it has nothing to do with Li Erjiapi how the fight there is. He is now sparing no effort to support his direct descendants in Asan.
This bloody battle soon kicked off. Dashanyan concentrated more than fifty cannons to bombard the main position in front of Tianan. Of course, this density of bombardment was too childish for the Qing army, let alone Zhang Gaoyuan's place.
Even Xu Bangdao on his flank has many more cannons than this, and the power of the 70 bronze cannon is really weak for the increasingly complete trench system. You must know that the Qing army soldiers now defend the artillery holes.
I have learned all this stuff.
Oyamayan shelled for half an hour, and then, regardless of Nozu Michunuki's painstaking efforts, he commanded the first division that entered the battlefield for the first time. According to the standard textbook offensive tactics, he lined up in a dense formation and headed towards the barbed wire fence and trenches.
, the defense line composed of machine gun forts that had been reinforced to concrete launched an attack. Needless to say, the result was that a perfect tusha was staged in front of the general who had just been transferred from the post of Minister of Army to the frontline command. When dozens of
When the machine gun spit out tongues of fire and harvested the lives of his soldiers like a wheat field, the Meiji veteran who originally became Japan's first marshal in history was stunned.
His opponent Liu Mingchuan was also dumbfounded. Seeing trenches, barbed wire and machine gun defense systems for the first time, he did not expect that the power would be so huge.
"Commander, now I can see clearly. From now on, it will be useless for us to learn the means of fighting. As long as the supply can keep up, we will die as many as we can with such a line of defense. Unfortunately, we do not have such a thing in Taiwan, and the result must be relied on."
Cutting down the camp to repel the French, so many old brothers died like this." Zhang Gaoyuan said with emotion that he was a direct descendant of Liu Mingchuan, and he started his career with Liu Mazi.
Liu Mingchuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Although they were defeated after leaving more than a thousand corpses behind, the Japanese army also showed certain highlights in this battle. Their imitation grenades appeared. Although they were not many in number, and because the throwing distance was too far, they were only cleared.
The Japanese army caused very little damage, but it also frightened Zhang Gaoyuan. After repelling the Japanese attack, he quickly repaired the barbed wire fence and expanded the protection range of this thing to 200 meters away. Anyway, he had barbed wire here, 200 meters long.
Even if the Japanese troops could reach the bombing distance of the wire formation, there would probably be very few people killed.
While the two sides were fighting a bloody battle in Tianan and Chenghuan, Boss Yang also led his pirate team to get up from the Japanese comfort women, and then set off with satisfaction, sailing northeast from Naha Port to Osaka with the fleet of Eighteen
The sailing speed was only more than thirty hours. Although we made a slight circle on the sea to ensure concealment, when night fell the next day, we could already see the light of the lighthouse on the Kii Peninsula.
"Four hundred years ago, there was a group of people called Japanese pirates. They burned, killed, and looted along the coast of China, causing harm for centuries. Countless innocent people were tortured by them, countless Chinese wealth was robbed by them, and countless Chinese women were raped by them.
I believe you Yiwu people know this history best. It was your ancestors who followed Qi Jiguang and drove them out of their homeland." Yang Feng said to one of his Yiwu officers.
His pirate regiment is organized at the brigade level. As the veterans of Zhengan gradually mature, European and American officers are gradually withdrawing. Most of the officers, including the three regiment leaders, are now from Zhengan. A few who have performed well are from Yiwu and
Taiwanese mercenaries were also promoted, and even the commander was replaced by a Zhengan man named Li Yuncong. The former retired British colonel is now the commander of the Kuwait garrison, with a thousand mostly European mercenaries.
The troops were there to watch the Arabs and train the Saudis so that they could one day take back their country.
As for Johnson, who was with him the first time, he is now the security captain of the Masjid Sulaiman Oil Field, leading 500 mercenaries to provide security for this major oil supplier in Europe. And Caiyi’s sister’s father, Han Fang, is now
He is fully responsible for his two territories in Western Australia, and is also responsible for the resettlement of the families of the injured and injured mercenaries. Almost half of the family members of the Chinese mercenaries who died before have chosen to immigrate, and nearly a hundred disabled veterans have also chosen to immigrate.
In order to move their family, after all, the place in Zhengan is also a poor place. Not only does the land have low yields, but it also has to pay countless taxes. However, in Western Australia, not only do they have countless places for them to cultivate, but they also have to pay a lot of taxes.
No need to pay any tax.
As for the attitude of the government in Western Australia, there is no need to consider this. Now the Yang Group is the mastermind behind the scenes there. Especially with the unfolding of Yang Feng's series of investment plans, he has nothing to do with the king in Western Australia.
There is a difference.
"But we haven't avenged this revenge until today. We are not saints, we are not those caterpillars. What we say is tooth for tooth, eye for eye. The revenge four hundred years ago has not been avenged. So today I will take you to take revenge. Go
Avenge your ancestors. Ahead is Osaka, the core of Japanese business, just like our Shanghai. Today your task is to rob and burn this city, just like what their ancestors did in our country.
Like that." Yang Fengchi yelled in a daze.
His men's emotions were immediately aroused. Yang Feng's mercenary plundering proceeds were divided into 60 and 40 with him, 60% as the return of Yang Feng's investment, and 40% as rewards. A city similar to Shanghai, just think about it.
Knowing how much wealth there will be waiting for you here, as for the resistance of the Japanese, these are not worth mentioning, especially those veterans who suppressed the army, they all regard human life as nothing, and they will be killed if they dare to resist!
Japan, not far away from them, had no idea at this time that a group of bandits were about to break into their home. Of course, even if they knew, there was nothing they could do. Currently, the Japanese Army only has two divisions on the mainland, and the Kumamoto Division is on the 9th.
It is impossible for them to come to the continent. The only one who can come 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 gather
, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get here in one day.
More importantly, because this railway has to avoid Japan's mountainous terrain, it is laid along the coastline. The construction difficulty is solved, but it also creates a serious hidden danger. They can be bombarded with naval guns at sea.
break.
As long as the Marauder completes the landing cover mission, it can directly turn around and head north, find a suitable position to blow up the railway, and because there are many bridges along the way, it can be said that it can be said to just find a few river mouth positions to fire a few shots, and the distance is close
The Guards Corps thought about Osaka, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to complete within a week.
The fleet was not in a hurry to attack, but first stopped in the open sea. It waited until the early hours of the morning, and then, under the guidance of the Awaji Island Lighthouse, quietly sailed into the Kii Channel. Outside the mouth of the Kidan Strait, under the moonlight, it sailed to the Kii Channel.
The muzzle of the Zero Cannon was aimed at the three forts in Yura, Tomojima, and Katai at the same time. As for the specific locations of these forts, this was a piece of cake for Boss Yang. He had a large number of them obtained through those foreign profiteers.
Data map.
"Prepare to attack." Yang Feng, who transferred to the Predator, personally gave the order to the gunner. The wooden boxes with skulls printed on them were opened one by one, and the mustard gas shells were loaded into the gun barrel.
