Chapter 094 Battlefield Photos

The Nagasaki incident 8 years ago is still vivid in the memory of the Japanese. The huge ironclad cruiser of the Beiyang Marine Division made the Japanese feel deeply inferior. Until now, the Japanese navy has its own armored cruiser, but it is still not enough to build self-confidence to win.

Confidence comes from it!

In the Battle of Toyoshima, Heihachiro fired the first shot at the Beiyang Marine Division, sank one Qing ship, captured one, sank a British merchant ship, and drowned more than 1,000 Qing troops. In terms of performance, the results are brilliant.

However, the combined fleet is still worried about this victory.

In the Battle of Toyoshima, the so-called Beiyang Marine Division faced by the joint fleet is actually only three small sangs, with a total tonnage of less than 3,300 tons. The firepower of the three ships is 2 21 cm Krper guns, 1 15 cm naval gun, 3 12 cm naval guns, and an average speed of 17 knots. Among them, the only one who can really be regarded as a warship is Fang Boqian's Jiyuan ship, which is a medium-sized cruiser.

The three ships Yoshino, Naniwa and Akizu, which the Japanese army participated in the war, are all large cruisers. Among them, Yoshino is the fastest, strongest and heaviest cruisers in Asia. The fleet has a total tonnage of 11,000 tons, equipped with 8 15cm quick-fire guns and 14 12cm quick-fire guns. 2 26cm Krum guns and 6 15cm Krum guns, with an average speed of 18 knots.

This should have been a cannon battle against mosquitoes.

However, Jiyuan was in charge of Fang Boqian and fought against three Japanese giant ships independently. As a result of the battle, the huge Yoshino ship was actually hit by three bullets by the small Jiyuan ship and was seriously damaged. If it hadn't been for the explosion of a shell that hit the ammunition depot, Yoshino would have been buried at the seabed. The Wavespeed was hit by a shell and the signal cord was cut off. Only Qiujinzhou was unscathed, but Qiujinzhou's pursuit of the Beiyang Marine Division's small sam Guangyi unexpectedly made Guangyi explode calmly, and Qiujinzhou got nothing. Jiyuan successfully escaped.

In contrast to such a disparity in power, the Japanese ship has also been hit hard, and this victory has been greatly reduced.

As for killing more than 1,000 Qing troops, it is a shameful thing. It is not worth showing off how many people are killed by shooting the enemy who fell into the water.

The joint fleet has not met the real Beiyang Marine Division. Although the Beiyang Marine Division was defeated in the Fengdao Sea, it is still daunting.

Therefore, the navy believes that the Japanese army should not rush into Manchuria before removing the Beiyang Marine Division! If the back road is cut off by the Beiyang sailor, it will be troublesome.

The navy and the army are in dispute. Now it seems that the navy has a slight upper hand.

The base camp brought cotton-padded clothes to North Korea, which is a signal that the base camp wants to put the North Korean war in winter.

There is another signal that the staff headquarters urgently transferred Shenwei Guangchen to return to China to report on his duties. The main content of the debriefing is not his task in North Korea - to find the spokesperson of the Great Japanese Empire, but his espionage work in the Shandong Peninsula of the Qing Dynasty.

This is enough to show that the base camp tends to be the first in Shandong Peninsula. In order to capture the Shandong Peninsula, we must first eliminate the Beiyang Marine Division.

Manchuria is the heart disease of the army, and the Beiyang Marine Division is the heart disease of the navy!

In the mind of Shenwei Guangchen, there is also a heart disease.

This heart disease is not an army or a piece of land.

That's a person. To be precise, it's a shadow.

The shadow comes from Yuanjin Mountain, or, farther away, from Kaesong, a small inn.

Five days ago, Shenwei Guangchen received a secret report from Lu Wenjun that Jin Yujun's daughter Jin Shu was about to pass through Kaicheng and go to the capital.

Looking for Jin Yujun's wife and daughter is a top-secret task assigned to him by the base camp, because Jin Yujun's wife and daughter not only have considerable sympathizers in North Korea, but also have considerable public opinion significance internationally. Those Westerners who flaunt humanitarianism are willing to see the orphans of the victims have a happy ending.

If Jin Shu is willing to cooperate with Japan, it means that Japan will stand on the moral position of helping the weak in this war.

Shenwei Guangchen took the power of nine cows and two tigers to find out the whereabouts of Jin Yujun's wife and daughter, but found nothing. Unexpectedly, his daughter came to the door.

Lu Wenjun secretly reported that there were also three Qing soldiers accompanying Jin Shu, and reported that one of them was a sentry chief.

Shenwei Guangchen didn't care too much about these three Qing soldiers. He knows too much about the ability of Qing soldiers. It should be said that Qing soldiers have no ability at all!

He didn't even remember the names of the three Qing soldiers mentioned in the report, the names of the three unknown soldiers, which was not worth his brains.

However, in Kaicheng, Shenwei Mitsutomi failed. He transferred a squadron of Japanese troops from the mixed brigade and sat in the inn in person for the reason, but Jin Shu got out of the net he laid.

It was a Qing soldier who got out with Jin Shu. Shenwei Guangchen did not see his face clearly. What he saw was just the back of a horse.

That back is not strong, and like most people in the Qing Dynasty, it is still a little weak.

Maybe it was just an accident, or that Jin Shu and the Qing soldier just took a little good luck.

Shenwei Guangchen did not investigate the information of the Qing soldier. A small soldier could not enter Shenwei Guangchen's database. The worst person who could enter his database was the general soldier. He didn't even bother to ask Lu Wenjun.

However, in Yuanjin Mountain, he encountered that shadow again.

This time, he lost even worse.

He lost a squad of soldiers, the artillery position of Yuanjin Mountain, Li Canying, the king of the compound, and even almost lost his life.

He saw the weak shadow again. In the firelight of Yuanjin Mountain, the shadow was just a silhouette illuminated by the firelight. He could not see the shadow's face, but he saw the decisiveness, rapid and ruthlessness of the shadow!

For the first time in his life, Shenwei Mitsumi felt timid, but that trace of timidity was submerged by his strong desire to conquer!

Life without an opponent is boring, sad, and even decadent.

Shenwei Guangchen has never met an opponent. Whether it is in Liaodong, Shandong, or North Korea, he meets always weak soldiers and corpse vegetarian bureaucrats. They don't deserve to be his opponents at all!

And that shadow made Shenwei Guangchen feel the power of life.

A person who has found his opponent is happy! Because life will become hot because of this!

"Mr. Kamio."

Shinji Mitsuomi's thoughts were interrupted, and a lieutenant officer stood in front of him.

"It's Mr. Kokura." Shenwei minister Guang saluted a military salute.

Standing in front of him was Ogura Matsubara, the director of the First Military Intelligence Department.

Okura Matsubara is an intelligence officer brought by Yutoki Yamagata from the Japanese staff headquarters. He once worked with Kamio Omimitsu, which is an old acquaintance. Kokura Matsubara graduated from the Japanese Army University and is from an authentic class. In contrast, the origin of Kamio Mitsuomi is a little weak. He is one of the few officers in the staff headquarters who have not passed Lu University.

When Apeng from Shanxia formed the First Army, he named Kokura Matsuhara as his intelligence director, which showed his ability.

Okura Matsubara looked at the hanging left arm of Shenwei Mitsumi, banded it, and was still soaked in blood: "The commander of Shanxian asked me to tell you that during your return to China to recover from your injury, please take care of the base camp!"

It is top secret for Shenwei Guangchen to return to China to report on his work. To the outside world, he only said that he would return to China to recover from his injuries. Youpeng in Shanxian County is very clear that after returning to China, Shenwei Guangchen will immediately be recruited to the base camp to participate in the major decision to discuss the direction of the Japanese army's attack.

To attack Liaodong or Shandong, the navy or the army is preferred, and Shenwei Chenguang has a considerable say.

Shenwei nodded with a smile: "I can understand the mood of the commander of Shan County. I'll try my best."

Ogura Matsubara bowed: "Please!" With that, he took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Shenwei Guangchen.

Shenwei Guangchen took the photo, which was a battlefield vision taken by a war reporter. Due to the smoke, the photo effect was not very good.

In the photo, the Japanese army is attacking a small village. In the village in the distance, there is thick smoke. In the lower right corner of the photo, there is a house. On the roof, there is a Qing soldier who is shooting with a gun. Qingbing's face was faintly visible, but not very clear.

"This should have been filmed by Chenghuan." Shenwei Mitsumi asked.

"Yes, to be precise, it's in a village called Niu Xieli." Ogura Matsubara said, "When the military reporter developed the photos, he found a clear soldier on the roof. According to the frontline commander, this man killed eight of our soldiers. The commander of Shan County hopes that Mr. Kamio will return to North Korea as soon as possible, because he needs this person's information.

"A small Qing soldier can actually enter the eyes of Commander Youpeng in Shan County!" Shenwei Mitsumi laughed.

"He once tried to shoot the commander!" Matsubara Ogura said, "But he didn't succeed. The reason should be that he has no bullets!" The house was shelled by our army and turned into ashes, but we couldn't find his body.

On the dock, the huge Xijing Maru made a sharp whistle, startling a group of seagulls.

Shenwei Guangchen stared at the lower right corner of the photo. The Qingbing in the photo was very small and blurred. He couldn't see the Qingbing's face clearly, but it didn't matter whether he could see his face clearly.

Because the shadow of the Qing soldier is clearer than his face!

Shenwei Guangchen smiled coldly: "You can tell the commander of Shan County that his name is Zhou Charter, and he is a general sentry commander of the Qing army. No, I think the Qing army will soon promote him, and he is likely to be promoted to a commander or higher."

"So you knew him for a long time?" Ogura Matsubara was shocked.

"To be precise, I just met him!" Shenwei Mitsushin put the photo into his coat pocket and exhaled.

The name Zhou Charter finally entered his cerebral cortex, although Lu Wenjun once reported to him that there was a Qing soldier who came to the capital with Jin Shu, a general sentry chief.

At the same time, he also remembered the names of two other Qing soldiers, Naha Wu and Yao Xi. Of course, those were two abscess.
