Master Yuan, start!

Chapter 330: Bombardment of Vladivostok

"Brothers, cheer up, this battle is not over yet!"

On the way back home, Liu Bohong looked at the latest instructions from the radio, hurriedly walked out of the command tower, and shouted to the soldiers who were slumped on the deck to rest.

"Not finished yet?" The torpedo mate lying on the deck took off his straw hat and asked in confusion:

"Captain, haven't all the Russian warships sunk? Why isn't the battle over yet?"

Hearing this man's question, the other people on the deck also supported their arms, propped up their strong upper bodies, and looked at Liu Bohong on the command tower.

"Exactly. The Russians are all being held under the ship's hold. Where else is there?"

"Could it be that the Russian devils who fell into the sea turned into water ghosts and came to take our lives? After all, they are all devils." A sailor remembered the ghost stories told by the village shaman and couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

"Water ghost? I don't think so." A young sailor said:

"If you fall into the sea, you'll probably turn into a sea ghost!"

"Hahaha!"

Hearing this somewhat clumsy joke, everyone on the deck couldn't help laughing.

They were too tired. They had been extremely nervous since they set out to sea, worrying all the time about encountering Russian warships.

As we all know, it is difficult for people to concentrate for a long time. Generally, they will get distracted after focusing on one thing for 30 minutes.

This is also the reason why students need to take a 40-minute break after a class of more than 10 minutes.

The sailors of the North Sea Fleet first tensed up to search for Russian warships, and then concentrated on dealing with the naval bombardment.

Then there was the three-way chase between China, Japan and Russia, which lasted for more than ten hours of high-intensity fighting. They were able to hold on thanks to the belief in their minds that they would defeat the Russian navy.

Everyone held their breath.

Therefore, when they returned home with the Russian prisoners, their morale had worn off, and the military rules and discipline that they had strictly observed in the past had become somewhat lax.

Except for the necessary personnel left in the engine room, almost everyone else ran onto the deck to enjoy the long-awaited sunbath.

Liu Bohong did not criticize this too much until he received a telegram forwarded from Busan, North Korea.

The Beiyang Fleet does not have to return to Weihaiwei. After resting in Busan, it should rush to Vladivostok to support the 4th and 11th Regiments of the National Revolutionary Army, and bombard Vladivostok from both land and sea!

Operation code name: Eat sea cucumber!

Waving the telegram in his hand, Liu Bohong said excitedly: "Brothers, the time has come to recapture Vladivostok!

Now all the Russian ships have sunk, and Vladivostok has lost the protection of warships, with only some coastal artillery left.

If you don’t go now, when will you go?”

As he spoke, Liu Bohong threw the telegram in his hand onto the deck.

The sailors, who had been feeling a little lazy just now, picked up the telegram, passed the contents to each other, and became excited.

Recover homeland?

This is a major event that will go down in history books!

Which soldier in history doesn’t want to leave his name in history?

A sentence once said by the instructor of the Naval Academy came to their minds.

"You know, Master Qi's words about not wanting to be a marquis and hoping for peace at sea were just modest. You haven't reached that level yet.

From now on, just remember one thing: if you don’t want to be a general, you are not a good soldier!

Thinking of this, the group of sailors immediately put their legs together, held their heads high and chests puffed out a standard military salute to Liu Bohong on the command tower.

"I am willing to bombard Vladivostok for the Republic!"

"it is good!"

Liu Bohong waved his hand and shouted, "Pass on my order, set sail and bombard Vladivostok!"

... 0

...si

The message received on the Hailong was quickly transmitted to the Haiji and Haifeng via wireless telegraph.

However, this was different from the Chinese fleet where everyone was working hard and eager to teach the Russians a lesson they would never forget.

However, the atmosphere on the Naniwa, the last remaining warship in Japan, is completely different.

On the day of the Battle of Whale Sea, the Naniwa was ordered to join the Zhiyuan and Haiji in besieging the Russian ship Ushakov.

They fought for a long time in the central area of ​​the Whale Sea and did not participate in the subsequent pursuit battle between the Chinese, Japanese and Russian fleets.

After the sinking of the Ushakov, the main forces of the three countries had already gone far away, so the Naniwa and the Haiji pursued to the northeast, leaving the severely damaged Zhiyuan to sail back to Busan Port alone.

Therefore, the Naniwa was lucky enough not to be swallowed by the tsunami.

However, although the Japanese on the Naniwa escaped the fate of sinking and death, they were caught in the cloud of survival.

After encountering the returning Beiyang Fleet, the Japanese on the Naniwa learned that their entire fleet was missing.

Everyone on the ship was shocked and in disbelief when they first heard the news.

Immediately afterwards, an atmosphere of silence, panic, and fear spread everywhere, and everyone was suppressed by this atmosphere and felt breathless.

Some people even resorted to self-harm like crazy, demanding to go ashore to North Korea for treatment, and were unwilling to stay on the ship.

They knew that it was better to die in battle than to live in disgrace.

If I go back like this, I will definitely face accusations and condemnation from the people, and even fall into a dilemma where I can't defend myself.

"Why don't you go help the Yoshino?"

"Why would you attack a lone Russian warship?"

"Why didn't you catch up with the main formation in time afterwards?"

"The First and Second Guerrilla Teams were all killed in battle. Why are you still surviving?!"

Even Captain Kawahara Yoichi found it difficult to accept this news. He locked himself in the captain's room and was unwilling to have much contact with outsiders.

He didn't know how to face the veterans at the headquarters and the entire Japanese people.

Just imagine, 11 Japanese Navy warships went out to sea intact, but in the end, only one, the Naniwa, returned to the port alone?

"Will he be judged?"

"Will he be ordered to commit seppuku?"

"I don't want to die. I have tried my best. We have sunk the Ushakov 7 together.

But why, why, has the main force of the fleet disappeared? "

Kawahara Yoichi roared, seeking answers, even if he couldn't get any answers from anyone.

The navy, which cost a huge amount of money and even the emperor provided financial support for its construction, was almost completely destroyed, and Japan received nothing in return.

The deceased were heroes of the Empire and could not be blamed.

Those who survived would naturally bear the responsibility for the complete destruction of the fleet.

Thinking of this, Kawahara Yoichi, the naval colonel who once served as the captain of the Yoshino in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, now exudes a decadent air.

He was curled up in the corner of the captain's room, mumbling something.

Seeing someone coming in, he questioned the first mate in front of him, Tetsuya Kamiyama, with messy hair and red eyes:

"Hey, Tetsuya, tell me why this happened.

Hey, Tetsuya, what should I do, what should I do! "

Kamiyama Tetsuya clenched the note in his hand. This was a message sent by the small boat sent by the Sea Dragon. Seeing the captain's dejected look, he whispered:

"Your Excellency, Colonel. Your Excellency, Colonel.

Perhaps, if I want to seek forgiveness from the headquarters, there is one last way."

Hearing what Kamiyama Tetsuya said, Kawara Kaname stood up in an instant, shook his hand tightly, and said in a deep voice:

"What, what method!"

Kamiyama Tetsuya picked up the telegram and said:

"The Chinese, the Chinese invited us to attack Vladivostok together and promised that if Vladivostok was captured, it would be permanently open to Japan as a port."

After swallowing his saliva, a desire for life sprouted in Kawara Kaname's eyes:

"If we return home with this achievement, will His Majesty the Emperor, His Excellency the Prime Minister, His Excellency the Minister of the Navy, and all the people forgive us?"

"Colonel Kawara, do it!"

First mate Tetsuya Kamiyama was also worried about his future after returning home. He advised: "Everyone on the ship is waiting for your order!"

"Oh, is it so?"

Kawahara Yoichi stood up from the corner, and the decadent air on his body disappeared, replaced by a feeling of relief as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw and survived a disaster.

"Follow my orders, all five ships head north, follow the Chinese, and bombard Vladivostok!" Four four two?

Some recent plot views and sending red envelopes

Yesterday's title misled everyone. The purpose was not to conquer Africa, but to serve as a dog for the British and plant nails in Africa.

The Second Boer War was about to begin, a war that would consume 40 British troops.

As we all know, except for the First and Second World Wars when the British Army had more than one million soldiers, for an ordinary regional war, the British could only mobilize 40 soldiers, which was already a waste of their wealth.

At the end of the Boer War, the British were short of manpower, and even the red-headed Indians were drafted into the army.

So, dear readers, think about it, what could be better than participating in the Boer War to gain the trust of the British?

What could better demonstrate being a dog to the British than participating in the Boer War?

Moreover, the issues of British concessions in China and British tariffs must be resolved in the future.

How to solve it? Do we need chips?

So, was the "blood alliance" between Britain and China during the Boer War considered one of the bargaining chips?

Right, friends.

The main perspective of the plot is still in China, but some things need to be said in advance, otherwise everyone will feel it when it is almost time to write.
