- While Wei Jichen was training Wu Peifu, the Japanese navy also dispatched.
Liu Buchan led the Beiyang Fleet to bombard the Japanese Kagoshima area. After showing off his power, he returned to Busan to replenish some ammunition and continued to bombard the Kyushu Saga area.
The Japanese people strongly criticized the Japanese government's non-resistance policy and strongly demanded that the Japanese navy be dispatched. After repeated weighing, the Japanese General Staff finally agreed to Togo Heihachiro's proposal to sneak attack the Pusan ??port while the Beiyang Fleet was attacking.
As if to give the Japanese a chance, the Chinese fleet set out for the third time after bombarding Saga, with the target directed at the Yamaguchi area of ??Honshu Island, Japan. Dongxiang felt that this was an opportunity.
The distance between the Yamaguchi area and Busan is much further than the distance between Nagasaki and Busan. Dongxiang believes that there is enough time for the Japanese Combined Fleet to bypass the Beiyang Fleet and achieve a sneak attack victory.
In Nagasaki Sasebo Naval Port, Togo was making final mobilization. In order to achieve the surprise of the sneak attack, Togo abandoned some slower warships and formed a sneak attack team composed of four battleships and twelve cruisers.
The combined fleet only has four battleships in total, so it can be seen that Dongxiang is determined to win this time.
"Gentlemen, the news has been confirmed. The Chinese Beiyang Fleet has just arrived in the Yamaguchi area and bombarded Hequan City. According to the Chinese people's style in the previous two times, they may bombard all the seaport cities in the Yamaguchi area before leaving. Dongxiang slapped the table with an angry face and said in a hateful voice: "Gentlemen, the subjects of the empire are crying under the fire of the Chinese. If the navy does not dispatch, it will be the target of thousands of people. This time, we have to go forward." To take revenge and let the Chinese understand that not only can they bombard our territory, but we can also bombard their sphere of influence."
"Revenge, revenge!"
The Japanese admiral, who had long been filled with anger, couldn't help it anymore, and vented his burning anger with loud slogans.
If the Beiyang Fleet leaves the Yamaguchi area early, Dongxiang is not afraid, because every hour, the local Japanese army observing the movements of the Beiyang Fleet will pass the news to them.
In this way, Dongxiang can command the fleet to retreat in time,
Just when Dongxiang led his main fleet to set off from Sasebo Naval Port, several main fleets of the Beiyang Fleet were parked in the Busan Port, including the dreadnought ship Shanghai.
It turns out that Liu Buchan used the strategy of stealing and replacing others. Yes, the fleet he set out for the first time included almost all the battleships in the Beiyang Fleet. But when we set out for the second time, we replaced several battleships with some old ships, and when we set out for the third time, we replaced a few more ships.
Although Liu Buchan led the Beiyang Fleet to the Yamakou area with great momentum, there were only two battleships in that fleet, the flagship Lushun and Keelung. The fleet even included some merchant ships.
??It looks strong from a distance, but it is actually a bluff.
Liu Buchan dared to use himself as a bait to do this. In addition to his gambling mentality, it was just that the first two Japanese sentry ships were bombed when they approached. The subsequent Japanese sentry ships did not dare to get too close. Where can Investigate carefully.
??Moreover, if Dongxiang sees through his intentions and commands the combined fleet to encircle and annihilate him, Liu Buchan has also brought a lot of submarines, and other ships can also come to the rescue in time from the Busan port. The final victory or defeat is still uncertain.
The three foreign captains, Delis, Seymour, and Gigot, are all here, as are the five battleships Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Dalian, and Weihaiwei.
Although Delis's "Shanghai" was the most advanced, Liu Buchan still handed over the command of Pusan ??Port to Seymour. After all, Liu Buchan had been with Seymour for so long and knew his abilities well.
Seymour yawned boredly, thinking to himself: The Orientals are troublesome, and they still want to use this trick, that trick! I don¡¯t know if I¡¯m tired or not.
If it were according to Seymour's temper, it would be better to attack Nagasaki directly.
"Reporting to the commander, Hungry Wolf 42 has discovered that the Japanese fleet has left Nagasaki and is suspected to be heading towards North Korea." Just when Seymour thought that tonight would be like yesterday, spent in boredom, a soldier hurriedly Busy came in to report.
Seymour¡¯s messengers and communications soldiers all knew English, so they communicated with him.
"Are the Japanese coming? Did Liu's plan succeed?" Seymour suddenly woke up from his drowsiness and said excitedly: "Tell General Nie the news, and let others do it." Be alert and prepared! Then follow me out of the port. If the Japanese fleet really comes here, they can arrive before dawn."
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
As the news spread, the squadron became busy. Seymour led the remaining ships in the port to leave Busan and lurk in the surrounding waters. Even the army was busy.
The thirty 406mm coastal defense guns had already been deployed throughout the port by Nie Shicheng. Ma Jinxu commanded these forts. Ma Jinxu had commanded these forts when he was at Dagukou and had experience.
The Shanghai's main gun has a caliber of only 12 inches, but these coastal defense guns have a caliber of 16 inches. If Togo Heihachiro knew that there was such a thing in Busan Port, he would probably be too scared to come.
"It's a pity that he didn't know, so he was destined to be tragic.
After Dongxiang led the fleet to set off, he was frightened for a while. He was afraid that the Chinese submarine would find him and send the Beiyang Fleet back to the Yamaguchi area. Therefore, he called almost every half hour to inquire about the situation.
"Your Excellency, the telegram just came in. The Chinese main fleet is still in the Yamaguchi area and is still bombarding our port city." Staff Officer Kato Yusaburo hurriedly walked into the control tower and reported the news to Dongxiang, but the expression on his face was unknown. Should I be sad or happy?
Dongxiang breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "That's good. As long as China's main fleet is still in our Yamaguchi area until midnight, this sneak attack will be successful."
"Your Excellency, what you said is true. The Chinese people are too complacent. Do they think that winning a small victory means winning the entire war?" Tomosaburo Kato smiled and nodded in agreement. He had already figured it out. He is dead. It was a great deal for some civilians to succeed in this sneak attack.
"Well, I want to know the movements of China's Beiyang Fleet at any time. If the Beiyang Fleet leaves the waters of the Yamaguchi area and escapes our detection, let the base camp report to me in time."
"Hi!"
¡
Off the coast of Japan's Yamaguchi area, Liu Buchan received news of the dispatch of the Japanese combined fleet after attacking a small Japanese city.
At that time, Liu Buchan was still afraid that the Japanese were coming towards him. Later, when he learned that he was heading towards North Korea, he commanded the fleet to continue attacking other Japanese cities to let the Japanese know that he was here, so as not to alert the enemy.
No matter how cunning the wolf is, it can't defeat the clever hunter. A smile appeared on Liu Buchan's lips. The Japanese still didn't know that China had added a giant ship of more than 20,000 tons. It would be unforgivable if it didn't carry a somersault this time.
Liu Buchan thought for a while and said relaxedly: "We will bombard every ten minutes to avoid wasting all our ammunition on this small city."
"Okay, General!"
The soldiers were ordered to come down in a hurry.
¡
In just five hours, both China and Japan were in the same situation. I don¡¯t know how many telegrams were sent between the two sides. Dongxiang thought he had deceived Liu Buchan, and Liu Buchan also kindly put on a show for him.
Until an hour before dawn, the Japanese main fleet had already entered the Korean waters, and the distance from the Busan port was no more than an hour.
Dongxiang stood on the bridge of the flagship Mikasa with an excited expression, and said proudly: "Liu Buchan is still bombarding our port. I don't know what his expression will be when he learns the news."
"Your Excellency, I'm afraid that after daybreak, we will still be discovered by a Chinese submarine or sentry ship." Kato Yusaburo warned.
Dongxiang said nonchalantly: "Even if they were discovered at that time, wouldn't the Chinese main fleet come back here from Japan? The Busan port will definitely become a ruins under our artillery fire. , let¡¯s move forward at full speed!¡±
"Hi!"
As time passed, morning finally came, and the Japanese fleet looked very majestic under the morning light.
"Don't be sneak-attacked by the Chinese submarine, we are advancing in a zigzag pattern." Dongxiang was having a great time playing alone, perfectly interpreting the title of "Japanese".
"Your Excellency, Commander, a suspected Chinese submarine was found about 5 nautical miles southeast of the fleet." As soon as Dongxiang finished speaking, the lookout sent back the news.
Kato Yusaburo looked at Dongxiang with admiration and said sincerely: "Your Excellency, Commander, you really predict the enemy like a god, and you fooled the Chinese people around."
Dongxiang put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "It is undeniable that the Chinese have surpassed us in some aspects, but in terms of military strategy, they are still far behind us. Don't compete with us." China¡¯s submarines were entangled, and China¡¯s submarines were much slower than ours, so we attacked Pusan ??directly.¡±
¡
The discovery of a Chinese submarineAfter the Japanese fleet arrived as scheduled, it did not go up to pursue it, but immediately sent the news out.
In the Busan Port, Ma Jinxu felt nervous after receiving the news: The Japanese fleet is indeed coming here. Although it is here to die, it is still necessary to be careful.
Ma Jinxu immediately shouted: "Send my order and the entire army is ready for battle. The Japanese fleet is not far from here."
20 nautical miles east of Busan Port, Seymour led the ambush fleet and was quietly waiting here.
Seymour was afraid that Dongxiang would turn around and leave immediately after seeing the mighty Chinese fleet in the port, so he hid the ambush fleet here. When Dongxiang attacked, he would attack him from behind. I believe Dongxiang would be driven to death. Desire.
After receiving the telegram, Seymour frowned and thought for a while, then murmured to himself: "The Japanese fleet is still half an hour away from Busan at the fastest, and we are not far from Busan. The fastest is also half an hour, so let's wait. Let¡¯s start again in ten minutes. By that time, the Japanese fleet will have almost started to attack.¡±
