Just as Yang Feng was waiting expectantly for the Japanese to arrive in the Japanese palace, and then pretending to be a conqueror, humiliating, squeezing, and bullying them to completely satisfy his own dark psychology, Ding Ruchang's Beiyang Navy encountered
Trouble.
This trouble does not come from the Japanese. Although the four remaining battleships of the combined fleet have been harassing them since they left Weihaiwei, this is just a small problem. Ito Heyou would not dare to fight with the Beiyang Navy no matter what.
In the decisive battle, their real threat came from the British Far East Fleet. This fleet of more than 20 warships stood arrogantly on the route in front of Ding Ruchang like a dam.
"What did the British say?" he asked Hannagan, who had just gone to negotiate.
"They said that the British Far East Fleet held military exercises in the Korean Strait, and for the sake of safety, other navies were prohibited from entering the strait." Hannagan said angrily. The British intention was very clear, which was to withdraw the Japanese First and Fifth Divisions.
homeland, and then joined the fight against the Germans so that they could watch from behind, which naturally made him furious as a German retired soldier.
Ding Ruchang was also furious. The Korean Strait does not belong to you British people. If you say it is forbidden to enter, then it is forbidden to enter? But then again, they really have this qualification. It is not that the Far East Fleet is so powerful, but that behind them
The huge Royal Navy is powerful enough, with hundreds of armored ships, to cover the entire world. It is the only maritime overlord and the true ruler of the oceans.
"What to do? Liu Buchan came over and said.
"What else can we do? Negotiate, protest, etc. Send a report to Yang Feng and tell him that the British have intercepted us and tell them to be careful. Japanese reinforcements have boarded the ship." Ding Ruchang said with a gloomy face. In fact, the Beiyang Navy did this
This step has already exhausted all benevolence and righteousness. Of course, it is impossible for him to conflict with the British just to help Yang Feng.
Yang Feng was not too surprised when he received this telegram. He had already guessed this outcome since the British troops landed in Nagasaki, but this was obviously a good opportunity to wedge a wedge into the rift between Britain and Germany.
"That's too much. I really don't understand what the British want to do? Do they really want to see us die in Tokyo?" This guy was so indignant that he photographed the telegram in front of Waldzer.
Waldzer sneered after reading this.
"Yang, it's not you, but us, the German Expeditionary Force. It seems I need to report to His Majesty the Emperor." He said with a gloomy face.
Yang Feng naturally welcomed this very much. You can imagine how William, who has always been sensitive, would be furious after learning the news. As for the issue of Japanese reinforcements, he really didn't care much about it, even if all three divisions arrived.
With only 50,000 people coming, it would be ridiculous to try to attack the machine gun defenses in the trenches, but if they have reinforcements, they can get them themselves.
"Count, we need reinforcements," the guy said seriously.
"Yang, even if there are more troops in the country, it will be difficult to arrive in a short time, and the British will definitely obstruct it. I think it will take at least half a year. This is meaningless." Waldzer shook his head and said.
"No, no, it's not from Germany, but from China. First of all, our common friend Mr. Li Hongzhang has recruited 20,000 new soldiers. Among them is Yuan Shikai's new army, which I provided weapons. We can go to Mr. Li.
Then bring in this army and the defenders of Asan. First, after the fifth division has withdrawn, it makes no sense for them to continue to maintain a strength of nearly 20,000 people. At least we can bring in another 5,000 people.
, you must know that they have sufficient experience in position defense. In this way, we can gather close to 40,000 elites, and it will be easier to supply arms. Hanyang Arsenal can supply part of it, and Taiwan Arsenal has also begun production. In addition, Yang's
With high-speed cargo ships transporting from Europe, we can fully sustain the operations of these 40,000 people.
The total strength of the Japanese army is only a little over 50,000. Even if they recruit more recruits, it will not exceed 100,000. This country only has that small number in total. Even in the cold weapon era, it would be difficult for them to gather such a large number of troops. More importantly,
And they lack weapons. First of all, their main arsenals in Osaka and Tokyo have been destroyed by us. Even if there is a certain production capacity in other places, it is all in vain without steel. I also have two high-speed destroyers coming from Sweden, and then
Including the two ships transferred back from the Beiyang Navy, the eight destroyers are enough to block sea routes and cut off Japan's material imports. Of course, the prerequisite for this is that the British will not provide arms to Japan, which requires His Majesty the Emperor.
"Yang Feng said, he really hopes to play in Japan for a year and a half. Anyway, it's not other places where he failed.
"There is no problem with this. If the British dare to help the Japanese so blatantly, it will mean a provocation to the German Empire." Waldzer said, he is very confident about this. The European powers have their own set of rules of the game.
, the British are already brushing aside the boundaries. If they go too far, it will be a violation of the rules.
In this case, Yang Feng had nothing to say, and immediately sent a telegram to Li Hongzhang, requesting the transfer of 5,000 new troops from Yuan Shikai, and another 5,000 people from Yashan to Japan to participate in the war, on the condition that he be given two elements.
In order to let him know more clearly what these two components mean, this guy specially asked Song Qing to return with the dispatched fleet. I believe that with his example, even if the Japanese devil Li Er is not tempted, his subordinates will be. You know
This guy came to Japan and his net worth increased several times.
As for the next step, the main target should be Yokosuka Fortress. Tirpitz's attack on the Guanyinzaki forts did not go smoothly. A Russian cruiser was even severely damaged, but fortunately it was not sunk, so as long as it returned
At Dagou Port, the shipyard there will repair it soon.
The main reason for this situation is that when the fleet bombards these three groups of forts at the entrance to Tokyo Bay, no matter where they are, they must withstand cross fire from both sides. This is a dead end.
"Unless our army strengthens its offensive and first solves the two forts of Kannonzaki and Chiyozaki on land, it will take at least a week and even greater losses before the fleet can open the door to Tokyo Bay." Tirpi
Ci said that today was a celebration banquet held in the Japanese Imperial Palace, so he and several naval generals also attended.
A group of invaders left this beautiful garden-style building in a mess. Many vulgar soldiers even defecated everywhere. Some, in order to leave good memories, used knives to carve profane words and graphics everywhere.
The turtle in the west fully demonstrates their ignorance and ignorance, and they have no respect for the beauty of the carved beams and painted buildings designed by famous artists.
There were even some beautiful sculptures and murals that were torn out by the barbaric invaders and shipped away. Some of the more precious wood was also dismantled and packed on ships. In addition, there was a lot of drinking tonight, and disgusting things could be seen everywhere.
There were vomit, screams of howling ghosts and wolves, and even some Japanese women who were caught from nowhere were brought to vent their shoujo. The entire Japanese palace seemed like a noble woman who had been stripped naked and thrown into a cesspit to endure whipping.
.
In this sinful atmosphere, a group of bandit leaders, served by dozens of Japanese girls donated by their soldiers, were eating the delicacies they had stolen while studying how to continue to harm the country. As for the wine they had stolen, this was
There is no need to drink it, but Waldzer's horse likes it very much.
"In this case, the casualties will increase significantly." Xiao Maoqi said. He has not made much progress in the past two days. The Japanese relied on pre-set fortifications in the Yeshan area to stubbornly block him. Of course, this is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that after breaking out of the mountainous area, there is a large coastal plain, which is at least eight kilometers away from the Guanyinqi Fort. In this empty open land, those large-caliber fortress guns that defend the rear route will easily massacre all the infantry.
"Capture their relatives and force them to surrender. If they don't surrender, they will be shot collectively in front of them." Yang Feng said viciously. Japan's special recruitment method made the vast majority of the defenders of Yokosuka Fortress are Tokyoites. This means
This gave Yang Feng an opportunity...
"Yang, isn't this bad?" Waldzer was startled by him, this guy is really cruel.
"Then it depends on who you are ruthless to. If you are ruthless to your own soldiers, then you might as well let them risk the Japanese artillery attack. You should be very aware of the power of those large-caliber fortress cannons. If you are ruthless to the Japanese,
Then just do it. If the Japanese defenders are really loyal to their country and have reached the point where they would rather watch their loved ones die than surrender, then there is nothing I can do." Yang Feng spread his hands and said.
Waldzer recalled the power of the two 280 mortars. The guy gritted his teeth and said, "Just do it."
In fact, the coalition forces are already very civilized. After all, the command issued by the headquarters was to wash the city, not to massacre it. Therefore, except for the Japanese who resisted bravely, there were not many civilians in this city who died. At most, it was according to Yang Feng's order.
It is of course essential to ask for murder experts and professors, etc., to burn down people's houses, steal people's things, and play with girls, but things like tusha are still not done much, so the preservation of the Japanese in the city is relatively complete.
But it's troublesome to find someone. Fortunately, just as there is no shortage of traitors, there is no shortage of things like Japanese rape. Under the temptation of bayonets, banknotes, or women, in short, there are all kinds of things.
A large number of Japanese friends were organized, and then began to search for the family members of the Yokosuka Fortress garrison in the city. By the afternoon, several hundred people had been gathered together, and then they were escorted to the front line. (To be continued...)
