The huge fleet of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces was riding the wind and waves on the sea, while a British cruiser was watching silently in the distance, and then quickly sent the fleet's whereabouts to the British Embassy in Tokyo by wireless telegram, and then the British Embassy secretly notified Japan. If it is
Yang Feng himself, the British will definitely not make such a big effort to help the Japanese. After all, these guys are not 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 the first
If you suffer a little, the British government can take the opportunity to intervene in mediation, stop the ambitions of Germany and Russia, and at the same time gain some benefits from the Japanese.
Of course, Yang Feng and the Germans also knew this very well.
"Why do our British friends like Japan so much? When I went there by myself, they didn't seem to be as extreme as they are today?" Yang Feng sat on the deck of the Nautilus, looking at the British warship following from a distance, very innocently
Said innocently to Waldzer.
The Allied Forces Command was located on this ship, including His Majesty the King of Ryukyu, who was driving the expedition himself. Tomorrow Daily used this as a gimmick to brag about in Europe. Prince Shang Yin commanded the army to go north to rescue his father and brother who were brutally imprisoned by Japan.
, and then like a true gentleman, he exchanged the throne to King Sangtai. King Sangtai lovingly used his old age as an excuse to pass the throne to His Highness the Crown Prince, who believed that his younger brother was more suitable to lead the people than himself.
, so he gave up the throne to King Shang Yin. The drama script of King Shang Yin, full of fatherly kindness and filial piety, had already been written, although King Shang Yin’s army only had twenty people.
Waldzer naturally understood that Yang Feng was sowing discord, but after all, the British did go a bit too far this time. The whole world has been robbed by you. Now we just extend our hands a little, and you will interfere with it. This kind of
The habit of always eating alone is very annoying.
"They will regret it when we capture Tokyo." Waldzer took the coffee that Min Yongjun poured for him and said while tasting it. Mr. Min knew his identity very well. Ever since he boarded this noble black ship, he has
He has always behaved in a servile and servile manner. This also won the unanimous favor of the Allied Forces Command, including Waldzer, and praised Lord Min as a well-educated Confucian and a loyal Korean. In short, there are many respectable comments.
"Yang, what do you want in this war?" Waldzer asked Yang Feng curiously as he looked at Tanegashima in the distance. Now that it was no longer possible to hide its whereabouts, the fleet simply sailed directly close to the coast of Kyushu, allowing the Japanese to
Take a good look at what a powerful enemy they are about to face. More than thirty battleships and a dozen troop transports form a long fleet, sailing majestically past Kagoshima, so close that you can even see the coastal defense forts with a telescope.
Nervous Japanese soldiers.
Yang Feng pointed to Tanegashima Island in the south.
"I want everything from there to the south," the guy said with a sly smile.
Waldzer shrugged indifferently. It was nothing more than a series of small islands.
When he learned that the Eight-Nation Allied Forces had crossed over to Kyushu Island, Ito Hirobumi gritted his teeth and ordered to block this terrible news. People had begun to flee in Tokyo. If he had learned this bad news, he would have been killed without the enemy coming.
Messy.
Now the Japanese in Tokyo have turned into groundhogs. Hundreds of thousands of migrant workers have gathered in the east and west directions, digging trenches day and night. The entire Tokyo has turned into a mouse nest. These trenches are not too deep.
Basically about 1.2 meters, there is nothing you can do about it. After all, you have to take care of the height factor of your soldiers, but they don’t understand things like anti-gun holes. The Japanese have only seen those knock-off versions of Iktanga, which have teeth.
They still haven't had the opportunity to see the original trench system in the mountains. In addition, although there are barbed wire fences, they are not in large quantities. There are only a very small amount of these in Japan. Even if they are all collected, they are not enough to protect a trench.
However, this does not trouble the wise Japanese people. There is no barbed wire, but there are still some ordinary wires. Various types of wires collected from all over the country are continuously transported to Tokyo, and then set up with wooden stakes to form obstacles in front of the trenches.
It also invented and creatively added landmines, a deadly weapon.
However, the Japanese, like Iktanga, did not know how to dig their trenches in a zigzag shape. Instead, they dug them in a straight line. This later caused them a big loss. Because there were no machine guns, machine gun forts were
There was nothing to talk about. Instead, the old-fashioned muzzle-loading cannon that was lifted out of the junk pile was put on the trench. Together with the same old shotgun, Yang Feng, who had received the secret report from the spies in the city, seemed to have seen a great thing in a trance.
Figures of the Boxer Rebellion warriors.
"Yang, judging from this intelligence, the Japanese are creating a lot of trouble for us." Xiao Maoqi said solemnly after looking at the intelligence. The defense system of trenches, machine guns, and barbed wire has been tested in the Battle of Asan.
Now it has attracted more and more attention from the great powers, and even many foreign military officers stationed in China have visited it. They are full of praise for this complete set of killing machines, claiming that it is the greatest initiative in the history of war.
"They don't have artillery, machine guns or even enough rifles. Believe me, as the inventor of this defense system, I know better than anyone how to attack him." Yang Feng said lightly. Of course, the most important thing is that they don't have any.
poison gas.
"General, the Japanese Navy has launched an attack. There are a total of six torpedo boats, two wooden cruisers and three gunboats. The front guard fleet is being cleaned up." In order to satisfy Yang Feng's bad taste, he wore a German M1936 Wehrmacht female officer dress.
My sister in colorful clothes came over to report. She looked like a female Kuomintang spy.
Yang Feng nodded seriously.
The remaining four battleships of the Combined Fleet are still on the west coast. Their main task is to guard the Korean Strait to prevent the Beiyang Navy from attacking the Busan Port. You must know that the first and fifth divisions that retreated from Asan are Ito Hirobumi's
The hope lies in the fact that the Guards Division and the motley crew put together, even Prime Minister Ito, who claims to use the flesh and blood of the Yamato nation to build a tomb for the invaders, know that it is not enough in any case.
The brave and nearly suicidal Japanese Navy had all its warships on the east coast wiped out in less than half an hour of naval battle. A fleet consisting of five Predator ships, four German cruisers, and one American cruiser held a battle at sea.
A passionate, friendly, and sportsmanlike shooting competition. In the end, the destroyer Feiyan from the Swedish Navy won the championship. With the crazy rate of fire of the 76 naval gun and the speed of up to 37 knots, this destroyer sank four ships alone.
Japanese warship.
Amidst the smoke of burning Japanese warships, the Eight-Power Allied Forces finally appeared in the afterglow of the setting sun off the coast of Kamakura, amidst the roar of the 280-mm main guns of the Brandenburg-class battleships and the 260-mm main guns of the Saxony-class battleships.
, this small town where the shogunate originated and the coastal defense forts on the Miura Peninsula next to it were reduced to rubble in less than half an hour. Then four landing ships with a full capacity of 8,000 people rushed to the beach, and dozens of warships rushed to the beach.
Under the cover of intensive artillery fire, the Chinese, German and Turkish coalition forces rushed to the coast of Japan.
They did not encounter 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 Yokosuka
If the fortress is there, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces can be blocked from Tokyo Bay. The shortest distance from Kamakura to attack Tokyo must be more than 50 kilometers. All along the way are plains with dense rivers. The Japanese army can maximize the advantages of the trenches. As long as they can
If we hold on for ten days, all the troops including the 1st, 5th Division, and even the Kumamoto Division will be able to arrive. Not to mention completely annihilating the invading enemy forces, it is still very confident to force them back to the sea. At that time, we can
After giving in for a while, I really couldn't afford to pay more compensation, so I sent these guys out.
Then go back and attack China with all your strength to make up for what was lost. This is Ito Hirobumi's strategy, and it can be seen from the battle of Qingchuan River that the First Army does have the strength to fight across the Yalu River. It doesn't take much more.
Shengjing can force the Qing government to negotiate peace, and then double the compensation paid to the Germans to get back.
Since there is no obstruction, the landing process will go smoothly. Although Kamakura has no port, Yang Feng has a landing ship. All the heavy equipment of the coalition is installed in the remaining two landing ships, including artillery of various calibers and even vehicles.
, war horses, were sent directly to the beach. At the same time, each ship put down the small boat it carried and transported the infantry from the troop carrier. After a whole day and night of busy work, by the evening of the next day, all the nearly 30,000 coalition forces were
After completing the landing, military camps stretching for more than ten kilometers were established from Kamakura to the Sagami River, and they seemed to have a posture of thousands of troops.
That night, each army assigned tasks and divided into three groups. Five thousand German troops, under the command of Maoqi, cooperated with the maritime fleet to attack the Yokosuka Fortress. Although the Japanese took care of the rear when building the fortress, they wanted to take care of both sides when they were attacked from both sides.
It’s still difficult. And with Yang Feng’s radio station, the fleet at sea can cooperate with the infantry in a tacit understanding. Besides, the Miura Peninsula sticks out alone. With the current range of the fleet’s main gun, it can even bombard Yokosuka from three directions.
.
Yang Feng's Ottoman Turkish Army and Song Qing's Yi Army, plus the Korean and Ryukyu armies, attacked Yokohama, while Waldser led 15,000 German troops to directly attack Kawasaki and Tokyo. Since he was willing to test the firepower for himself, then
Yangfeng is naturally very welcoming, and Yokohama is also pretty good. It is an old dock that has been there for many years, and there must be a lot of things worth checking out.
Just like this, at dawn the next day, the three armies launched attacks on their respective targets at the same time.
