Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the general staff room of the Summer Palace, a war meeting against Japan was being held. After the capture of Busan, the Japanese no longer had any power in North Korea, and it was time to fight on their homeland.

    Staff officers at all levels sat on both sides, with intelligence officers, clerks and others sitting behind them.

    At the forefront, there is a map of Japan's land and sea. Each seaport city in Japan has been marked. The sea area around Japan has also been divided into countless pieces. In each piece of sea area, there are one or two submarines continuously active.

    Wei Jichen frowned and stood at the front, asking a little distractedly: "Is there no movement from the Japanese fleet yet? Is it still at the Sasebo naval port?"

    "As reported to Your Majesty, there has been no action. The Japanese joint fleet has been huddled in the Nagasaki Sasebo naval port. It seems that it is waiting for the arrival of the American fleet." The intelligence officer immediately replied.

    Although the submarine detachment was moving around and sank many cargo ships, the Japanese seemed determined to wait for the American fleet and did not see any action.

    "Your Majesty, we can't wait any longer, otherwise things may change easily." Xu Shichang pursed his lips and persuaded helplessly.

    If the Japanese fleet takes the initiative to attack, the Chinese fleet will not have to face the countless coastal artillery in Sasebo Naval Port, and the losses will be less.

    "Well, then let's attack. Regardless of any battles on the front line, I want the Beiyang Fleet to annihilate the Japanese fleet within a month. The landing troops are well prepared and cannot hold back just to avoid losses." Wei Jichen raised his eyebrows and lit  A cigar made the final decision.

    It will take almost a month for the U.S. fleet to arrive in the East Asian waters. By then, the Beiyang Fleet will not be able to get away. I believe the Americans will take advantage of the chaos to join the war. If the Beiyang Fleet can get out, the Americans may be bluffing. There is no choice.  Went back.

    An orderly soldier standing on one side quickly wrote down the order and quickly walked towards the telegraph room outside.

    The Army has also chosen the landing site, which is still the Nagasaki area on Kyushu Island, Japan.

    Japan is composed of four large islands: Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, and Hokkaido, as well as some other small islands. Hokkaido does not have a large population, so there is no need to consider it.

    ? Honshu is the closest large island to North Korea, which is conducive to combat, and the people of Honshu have always been tough. After occupying Honshu, it can greatly damage the morale of the Japanese country.

    In the first battle, Wei Jichen was ready to bite a hard nut.

    Anyway, if the army is well prepared, it depends on the navy. As long as it controls the sea, China's troops can land at will from any place.

    "By the way, what's going on in the Philippines?" Wei Jichen asked again after blowing out a smoke ring.

    What was being held was a war meeting against Japan, but Wei Jichen suddenly asked about the Philippines. The span of his thinking was a bit big, but everyone was used to this and had already prepared all kinds of information.

    "There are still many indigenous people on Samar Island, but the seaport cities have been basically wiped out. Those indigenous people have fled to the mountains. General Zhang has established two Chinese gathering areas with a total population of 150,000  .¡±

    "Well, let Mengzi gather all the captive Filipinos and stop sending them to other islands first, and then contact the Dutch government to evacuate the overseas Chinese from Indonesia to the Philippines." Wei Jichen said in a deep voice.

    "Your Majesty, you do!"

    Yang Shiqi sensed a hint of Wei Jichen's thoughts, but still asked pretending to be curious.

    "The ethnic groups on the Japanese island are too homogeneous. It's better to send more people there." Wei Jichen smiled slightly and explained to everyone.

    That¡¯s it!  The generals looked stunned, and His Majesty began to think about how to occupy and rule in the future. He was really far-sighted.

    If there was still a slave trade, Wei Jichen would probably buy a group of black people and send them to Japan. To be honest, Wei Jichen didn't care at all about Japan's little territory. He just wanted the Yamato race to slowly perish.  , as long as the future troubles are completely eliminated.

    It is not possible to massacre all the Japanese. First, if you do that, you will be passive in the international community. Moreover, it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources, and it may be able to bring down China all at once. So, he thought of this  The bad idea is to turn Japan into countless small countries composed of different ethnic groups, which will be easier to implement.

    Just as Kang Youwei and other members of the Education Department rushed to North Korea, the frontline headquarters in the Busan port also received an order from Wei Jichen to attack.

    Nie Shicheng had already moved the frontline headquarters from Seoul to Busan.

    "Your Majesty asked us to annihilate the Japanese fleet before the American fleet appears in the Pacific. Are you sure?" Within the headquarters, Nie Shicheng brought Liu Buchan and YangYonglin and two others came over to ask.

    Nie Shicheng didn¡¯t know much about naval battles, but he could still see the general situation. That is, the Japanese seemed to have been avoiding battles, which seemed to indicate that their own navy was stronger than the opponent¡¯s.

    "However, war has never lacked situations where the weak can defeat the strong and the weak can defeat the strong.

    Liu Buchan did not finish his words, but solemnly said: "Liu can only do his best. Although our fleet is stronger than the opponent in terms of tonnage and firepower, the Japanese combined fleet is not as vulnerable as he showed."

    Yang Yonglin agreed: "The Japanese had the intention to show weakness. The last time they lured and annihilated their second squadron, they mainly caught the opponent off guard. Now they are huddled in the port. Mines are everywhere outside the port, and there are many cannons in the port.  It¡¯s difficult to achieve the same results as last time.¡±

    Naval battles are no better than land battles. In many cases, victory or defeat is determined by one battle. At this time, the fate of China and Japan is related, and both Liu Buchan and Yang Yonglin had to answer carefully.

    Nie Shicheng saw their concerns and immediately said angrily: "These two commanders have won the battle of Dagukou and Guam. Is it possible that the Japanese navy is more powerful than the coalition fleet and the US fleet?"

    Liu Buchan and Yang Yonglin looked at each other and saw a strong fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

    "Please rest assured, Commander Nie, our Beiyang Fleet has waited long enough for this day. The defeat of the Sino-Japanese War will not be repeated." Liu Buchan thought of the countless colleagues who died during the Sino-Japanese War, and his heart ached. This time, it was time for revenge.

    ¡°Moreover, Liu Buchan also prepared a strategy to make a last ditch effort to see if the Japanese fleet would be willing to leave the harbor.

    ¡­

    Nagasaki, Japan, Sasebo Military Port.

    After the news came that Busan was recaptured by the Chinese army, the war atmosphere here became even more intense.

    The failure of the Japanese Army seems to have inspired the Japanese Navy. The officers and soldiers of the Japanese Combined Fleet worked hard to practice.

    Combined Fleet Commander Togo Heihachiro believes that war is composed of two main factors: weapons and people. Since the strength of the fleet is not as good as that of China, the naval combat quality of the soldiers must exceed that of the Chinese fleet, so that they can win in the next war.  win in.

    In naval battles, warships are fast and maneuverable, and it is easier to seize the T-shaped crossbar. In the battleship era, it is about the size of the firepower. Once one's own fleet seizes the T-shaped crossbar, even if the fleet is originally weak, it can still  Form a strong local firepower advantage.

    The tactic of seizing the T-shaped crosshead means that the fleet commander tries his best to line up his fleet in a column during the exchange of fire, and to make his formation form a right angle with the enemy's forward column. This means that the enemy fleet is still sailing in a column.  , so that all the broadside firepower can be concentrated to attack the lead ship of the enemy fleet, but the enemy cannot return all the artillery fire.

    Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that the fleet maintains an intact formation and seizes the T-shaped head in a naval battle.

    Of course, in addition to the prior ambush, if both fleets are in motion, it depends on the commander's ability.

    Without the powerful firepower of the Chinese fleet and the mobility of some warships, Togo Heihachiro practiced the coordination of his fleet. As long as the coordination is good, it is possible that the weak can defeat the strong.

    Dongxiang stood on the bridge of the flagship Mikasa, constantly directing the entire fleet to maintain the formation and advance at high speed in a zigzag snake shape.

    "Okay, as long as we continue training, I believe the Imperial Fleet can compete on par with the China Fleet." Dongxiang saw that the fleet formation was not chaotic at all, and the big stone in his heart could not help but ease a little.

    Next to him, Chief of Staff Kato Yusaburo took a deep breath and said: "It would be great if the U.S. fleet could come to the Pacific as soon as possible and put more pressure on the Chinese. China has concentrated almost all its naval ships in Korean waters."

    The British and French East Asia fleets suffered too heavy losses and were no longer able to interfere in East Asian affairs. Therefore, Wei Jichen almost left all the coastal defense of the South China Sea to the army, relying on coastal artillery facilities for defense, leaving almost no warships. This is  Very dangerous.

    Just to deal with Japan with all his strength, Wei Jichen had to use all his strength.

    Dongxiang said with some annoyance: "It's all this idiot Uemura. If he hadn't sent the Second Squadron into the enemy's ambush, we wouldn't have allowed the Chinese to run rampant throughout the sea area."

    While the two were talking, the telegraph operator from the ship's telegraph room hurried over.

    "Your Excellency, there is news that the China Fleet has dispatched!" The telegraph operator handed the telegram to Dongxiang with a solemn expression.

    "Have the Chinese people finally arrived? We have waited long enough." Dongxiang couldn't wait to take the telegram and take a look.The expression on his face changed from expectation to anger.

    "Baga, the Chinese people have a bad conscience. They are going to Kagoshima." Dongxiang threw the telegram on the ground in anger.

    There is a sentence in the telegram that the Chinese fleet is suspected of heading towards Kagoshima.

    Although Kato Yusaburo's expression was not good, he nodded slightly and said helplessly: "The Chinese people have too many choices. There are too many seaport cities in the empire, and not all of them have strong defenses. If they keep destroying  Our port city, I wonder if His Majesty can still support us in continuing to avoid war."

    "Go back to Hong Kong and we will study countermeasures!" Dongxiang said in a deep voice.

    "Hai!" The ordering soldier hurriedly raised the flag.
