Chapter 126 Watching the battle

Deputy commander Luo Mingfang came behind Cai Ting and said, "Damn, Zhenyuan is so powerful. How could he lose to the Japanese in the Battle of the Yellow Sea!" Luo Mingfang, who was born as an artilleryman, has never seen such a magnificent naval battle. The cruiser's large-caliber artillery, huge torpedoes, and the ship's sky and earth burst explosion were completely beyond his imagination.

"That depends on who commands!" Cai Ting shrugged his shoulders. This is a Westerner's action. He has lived in the United States for more than ten years and has also learned this meaningful body language.

"Ding Ruchang is a loser! Take such a good warship and defeat the battle!" Luo Mingfang scolded with hatred.

"I don't blame him." Cai Ting said slowly, "The Qing Dynasty lost to the system, not someone!"

"Well, it's your strange talk about democracy and republic again!" Luo Mingfang said disdainfully. This Cai Ting has done it. Since he arrived at Mawei Military Port, he has boasted about it and promoting an American-style democratic system. Luo Mingfang's ears have been grinding out: "Yoshiye has sunk, and Qiu Jinzhou is also finished. He quickly smashed those transports to the bottom of the sea. If their marines go ashore, it will be a lot of trouble."

Cai Ting snorted his dry nose and shook his head helplessly. Among the senior officers of Zhangjun, only Luo Mingfang is from a foreign school, and he received Western civilization education. He even disdained the idea of democracy and republic, let alone others. Taiwan has built a democratic country, but that democratic country is far from the Western democratic system. It is just a dictatorship under the banner of a democracy. Ordinary people in China do not know what a democratic republic is. I don't know how long it will take for China to go towards the Republic!

The Japanese Marines are divided into two parts, some of which are about 1,000 people. They have taken small boats to ferry to Anping Port, and most of them have landed on the beach. Another 2,000 people are still on the transport ship. It's a good opportunity to fight halfway!

Akizu has sunk. The three transport ships have no defense capabilities and are running to Anping Port with full power. The Zhendong gunship quickly caught up with four old-fashioned gunboats of the Fujian Marine Division. The old-fashioned gunboat of the Fujian Marine Division had a small displacement and was only equipped with 12cm light naval guns and machine guns, which could not withstand the bombardment of cruiser heavy artillery. When facing Yoshino and Akizu, Cai Ting ordered them to stay behind and be on the Japanese cruiser. Outside the range of heavy artillery, now, two Japanese escorted cruisers have been sunk, and the four gunboats rushed up impatiently to pursue Japanese transport ships.

After a brief calm, fierce artillery fire sounded again on the sea.

The heavy artillery from Zhenyuan and came far away did not attack the transport ship, but fired shells at the beach of Anping Port to prevent the landing of the Japanese marines.

Zhendong and four old gunboats concentrated their firepower and stormed the three transport ships.

Sagami Maru, Yuanshan Maru transport ship and Omi Maru mine mother ship were covered by artillery fire. The Japanese marines on the ship saw that there was no way to survive. Some jumped into the sea to escape, and some picked up rifles and resisted stubbornly.

In less than 15 minutes, three transport ships caught fire and sank to the bottom of the sea one after another.

The sea was full of sun officers and soldiers who were crying for help, and even covered the roaring waves.

Zhendong stopped shooting with four old gunboats, sailed into the area where the Japanese ship sank, and left the lifeboat. A large ship flying the Red Cross flag sailed out of the fleet moored in the distance and headed for the war zone.

"What to do!" Luo Mingfang said angrily, "Cai Ting, are you fucking going to save them?"

"They have lost their combat effectiveness. They are prisoners." Cai Ting said dryly.

"Captive fart! Cai Ting did it. When he was in Lushun, our eldest brother said, don't capture him!"

Cai Ting said, "At this moment, when we were in Lushun, we fought alone and couldn't take care of ourselves. Moreover, the Japanese there were arrogant and cruel and killed many of our people. Army commander Zhou did not want prisoners of war in order to avenge the people of Lushun. Now the situation is different. We are strong and have plenty of food and fodder. We should give preferential treatment to prisoners in accordance with international practices. Our Zhang Jun is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and we still need to ensure the safety of life for the Japanese who lay down their weapons.

"Bulls!" Luo Mingfang shouted, "Cai Ting, I order you to shoot the Japanese army immediately!"

Cai Ting was unmoved: "Deputy Commander Luo, I am the commander of the navy. You have no right to issue orders to the navy!"

"I have no power, and the military commander has power! The commander's order is not to be captured!"

"When did the military commander give such an order?"

"When I was in Lushun!"

Cai Ting smiled dryly, took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Luo Mingfang: "This is the commander's warrant."

Luo Mingfang took it and took a look. It was indeed Zhou Charter's handwritten letter: "Zhang's troops are not allowed to kill Japanese prisoners of war in vain. Once all Japanese troops put down their weapons, they should ensure their lives. Japanese wounded soldiers should be treated on the battlefield."

Deputy Commander Luo, I have conveyed the warrant of the commander to all officers and soldiers of the Navy and Marine Corps. I hope you can convey the commander's warrant to the army. Cai Ting said dryly.

"How did the eldest brother become a mother-in-law?" Luo Mingfang said calmly.

"This is civilization!" Cai Ting said, "Then come back. Have you seen the ship with the flag of the Red Cross? It was a medical ship donated by the Shanghai Red Cross Society. The doctors and nurses on it were all volunteers from the Shanghai Red Cross Hospital. Mary was their head? Mary said that they fought with Zhang Jun. There was only one requirement, which was to allow them to treat all the wounded soldiers on the battlefield, whether they were from Zhang Jun or the Japanese. Deputy Military commander Luo, they don't want a penny and follow us to be born and die. Don't you agree to this request?

Luo Mingfang shouted, "Order the whole army to treat Japanese prisoners preferentially!"

Zhou Charter is determined to build Taiwan into his own territory. From now on, he will thoroughly implement his idea in Taiwan - the modern civilization concept of the 21st century! Zhang Jun is no longer the army of the Qing Dynasty and can no longer act according to the barbaric view of war in the Qing Dynasty.

The Japanese army on the sea has been eliminated, and the Japanese army that landed on the beach was attacked by heavy artillery from Zhenyuan and Laiyuan, which also suffered heavy losses. He was suppressed by fierce artillery fire on the beach and couldn't raise his head.

At the same time, Zhendong and the old gunboats also began to fire and shell the Japanese army on the beach.

The Japanese army crawling on the beach finally understood that continuing to stay on the beach was tantamount to waiting to die.

More than 800 remaining Japanese troops rushed to Anping Battery in the rain.

As long as they occupy the fort, they can use the Armstrong cannon on the fort to fight against the Zhang army fleet. Even if Zhang Jun's warship cannot be destroyed, he can rely on the dangerous terrain of the fort to resist and wait for reinforcements.

......

Liu Yongfu and his soldiers are watching with great interest on the Anping Fort. The fort is the commanding height of the whole Anping Port, with a panoramic view of dozens of miles of the sea. This magnificent naval battle made Liu Yongfu and his own soldiers feast their eyes, and many people were completely stunned.

This sudden war was completely beyond Liu Yongfu's imagination.

In the three-month battle between the Japanese army, Liu Yongfu and his Black Flag Army taught them the strength of the Japanese army. The modern army often dealt heavy damage to the Black Flag Army, but it suffered minor losses.

In several battles, the injury ratio between the Black Flag Army and the Japanese army was as high as 10 to 1.

However, in the current war, the strong Japanese army has no power to fight back.

This also blamed the Japanese army for being too arrogant. A 3,000-man landing force only sent two warships to escort. However, then again, the Japanese never thought that there would be a huge modern army armed with teeth behind them.

Liu Yongfu stood in front of the chest wall, pressing his sword with one hand and his snow-white beard in the other. Looking at the vast battlefield from the sea to the beach, he nodded frequently and exclaimed from time to time: "Okay! OK! Good fight! Guard!"

"There!"

"Tea!"

"Hit!"

Liu Yongfu regarded himself as a theater.

Shannian sat on the teacher's chair behind Liu Yongfu, crossed his legs, leaned against the back of the chair, and scolded, "Liu Yongfu, you short-sighted old man! Won't you make tea for me?"

Liu Yongfu smiled: "Of course, of course, serve General Sheng tea quickly! General Sheng, don't be angry with me. I gave you the handsome chair.

The soldiers brought tea, and Liu Yongfu picked up a cup of tea and sent his hands to the grand year: "General Sheng, I apologized for you. This happened suddenly. I never thought that Zhou Charter, Admiral Zhou, Yi Bo Yuntian, benevolent and righteous, actually came to Taiwan to help the war. Admiral Zhou's real hero was also... ”

"What about me!" Shannian leaned against Liu Yongfu's handsome chair and shouted.

General Sheng crossed the sea alone, broke through the Japanese blockade and personally committed dangerous land. He was really wise and brave. In those years, Guan Yunchang went to the meeting alone and was accompanied by Zhou Cang, but General Sheng was alone. In my opinion, even if Guan Yunchang was reborn, he had to bow down! I admire it! I admire you so much!"

Shannian was held lightly by Liu Yongfu, and his heart was very happy. The cowardice that was almost beheaded suddenly disappeared. He reached out to take the teacup from Liu Yongfu's hand and was about to take a sip, but he heard Liu Yongfu shout, knocked off the quilt in Shannian's hand, and the tea splashed Shannian's face. The grand year was furious: "Liu Yongfu..."

But he saw Liu Yongfu pull out his sword and hold it in front of Shannian. He shouted harshly, "Brothers, little Japan is coming up! Give me all the spirit and fight well! Let me remember it clearly. Even if we are all dead, we can't let General Sheng lose a hair!"

"Yes!"

Two soldiers picked up their rifles and crossed in front of Shannian. Liu Yongfu waved his sword and rushed to the chest wall. Other soldiers gathered around Liu Yongfu and opened fire under the fort.

Under the Anping battery, a piece of Japanese soldiers rushed over like a tide.
