"Don't tell me, the wind is really strong up there." When Zhang Yun came down, his nose and tears were already flowing down!

"Taking the key points." Lushun's commander Deng Shichang was dumbfounded by Zhang Yun's words.

"What a big fire. It's such a joy to set this fire off!" Zhang Yun sighed. But when he saw that Deng Shichang's face turned cloudy, Zhang Yun immediately took out a picture and said: "Ship

If you look at it, the picture is clearly drawn. The red area is probably burned until only the land is left. For example, the dock area of ​​Yokosuka Shipyard and

The fire scene and office area of ​​Yokosuka Port. The yellow areas are the more severely burned areas. There are the boiler manufacturing area of ​​Yokosuka Shipyard, as well as some ships that were moored in the port and were affected by the wave. Due to distance problems, some berths are out of reach.

, in short, not many ships were directly destroyed, but there were still a few ships that were affected by the incident."

"Which, please sort it out first, and write a report on the situation before dinner today and hand it in." Listening to Zhang Yun's somewhat incoherent report, Deng Shichang couldn't help but shook his head.

"Guan Deng, it's less than two hours before dinner time." Zhang Yun said while wiping his sweat.

"After I finish writing, I'll open a small stove for you." Deng Shichang pretended to be angry, "I gave this to you, do you know where to change the money?" After speaking, Deng Shichang handed several checks to Zhang Yun and others.

"Hey, 300 taels of silver, is it too easy to make money?" Someone behind him shouted excitedly. "I promise to complete the task!" Under the cheers of a group of people, several people from the balloon team went to prepare to write their report.

When night fell, the Beiyang Express Fleet had withdrawn from the Uraga Channel, but it did not leave with other ships, but anchored in the open sea. The officers of the Beiyang Express Fleet also came to the fleet's flagship Tianjin.

conference room to discuss the next plan.

"The results are brilliant. But they are not thorough enough!" Looking at the picture that Zhang Yun and others spent more than an hour reorganizing, Yang Yonglin expressed his opinion.

"That's right. Although the fire burned so hard that even the city was affected, the factory area of ​​the Yokosuka Shipyard has not been destroyed. And the Japanese had already tried to repair the damaged equipment in the factory area before the bombardment ended.

Yes." Lin Yongsheng said.

"Actually, we can choose to retreat now. Yokosuka Shipyard has lost the ability to provide maintenance for the Russian Far East Fleet. Even because of sunken ships and mines, the Russian fleet may not even be able to enter the Uraga Channel. We can now

We're going to Osaka or other places." While others were still unfinished, Lang Weili believed that there was no need to continue attacking Yokosuka Port when the purpose of the battle had been achieved.

"Actually, it is easy to paralyze Japan's ports, but the purpose of the Beiyang Fleet is not just that." Xu Jie sneered, "In my plan, Japan should not have a navy. Not only can it not have a powerful fleet, but it can also

Related supporting facilities should not exist either!”

"Eradicating the roots? This is really too harsh. If the attack continues, Yokosuka Shipyard will become a historical term." Lang Weili wiped the cold sweat falling from his head.

"So, please focus on this goal and improve tomorrow's battle plan." Xu Jie set the tone for this meeting.

"Currently, there are not many 10-inch main gun shells and 8-inch main gun shells left in the fleet. If you want to completely destroy the Yokosuka Shipyard, you must need a large number of 6-inch guns. So I suggest~~~ first

Concentrate the 6-inch shells to ensure the use of the Tianjin." Xu Jie revealed the plan he had thought up during the day.

"Judging from the mine clearance team's report, the Guiyuan class can be moved a little further forward. After all, the tonnage is smaller. The draft is shallower, and because a lot of supplies and ammunition are consumed, the draft will be shallower. The Suiyuan's injuries are relatively shallow.

It's heavy and difficult to operate in shallow waters, but the remaining two warships should be fine." Lin Yongsheng said.

"Tomorrow morning, the mine clearance team will go to survey the hydrological conditions. If possible, then we will follow Master Lin's instructions." Xu Jie nodded in agreement.

"What will happen after the battle is over? How will the fleet plan its next move?" Deng Shichang asked.

"After the battle, Mr. Lin took the three Guiyuan ships back to Lushun for repairs and supplies, and then joined the Beiyang Fleet led by Admiral Ding. I led the main fleet to Shanghai for supplies, where there were 10-inch artillery shells and Welsh supplies provided by the British.

Anthracite, this saves time." The purpose of Xu Jie's arrangement is to ensure that the Beiyang Fleet

The Russian fleet's whereabouts are uncertain. Facing the strengthened Beiyang Fleet, the Russians may have to think carefully if they want to move. As for the three Gary Bodi-class armored cruisers led by Xu Jie, they themselves have strong guns.

Li. Even if you can't fight, it won't be a big deal if you take a few shells. If you want to leave, the Russians will never stop you!

Subsequently, after finalizing some details, the senior generals of the Beiyang Fast Fleet began to prepare for tomorrow's battle. A large number of 6-inch artillery shells were taken out from the ammunition depots of each ship and sent to the Tianjin. The members of the balloon observation post re-

Work with the gunners to formulate reference points for bombardment and further refine the area. All this will be rewarded tomorrow.

When the sun rose over the sea, the Japanese began preparations to clean up the bombardment site on a large scale. A large number of manpower and materials were mobilized from the surrounding areas. They needed to continue to extinguish some scattered fire spots, rescue the injured, and clean up the ruins.

Search and repair damaged machinery, and see if they can find untouched supplies. All manpower and material resources in the entire area around Tokyo Bay have been mobilized. They must try their best to save this place that is vital to Japan!

Just as the Japanese were starting work, the Beiyang Fleet was also about to start work! Under the guidance of several minesweepers, the Beiyang Fast Fleet reappeared in the Uraga Channel! After paying the price of another minesweeper hitting a mine.

The two Guiyuan-class cruisers finally reached the firing position. The Langweili fleet also stopped in the distance. The main guns of each ship readjusted the parameters and aimed at the Yokosuka Shipyard again!

"There are so many people. If we fight this, how many people will die?" said an observer on the rising hot air balloon.

"In a war, you will die or I will live. It is better for the enemy to die than to let them repair the warship and kill himself." Zhang Yun snorted and said. "If this battle can make Japan stop thinking of invading our Qing Dynasty, then

How many fewer people could die?"

"Fire!" With the huge shock, five Beiyang warships began a new round of shelling. The Japanese who were cleaning up the ruins in the factory never dreamed that the Beiyang Fleet would come to shell again! Various shells fell on the ground.

The factory area of ​​the Yokosuka Shipyard is relatively intact. Although the heavy artillery shells are not

There were as many as yesterday. (Each ship had consumed a large amount of artillery shells in yesterday's battle.) However, the intensity of the shelling was no worse than yesterday. A large number of 6-inch shells hit our heads. Facing unreinforced targets, from the perspective of damage,

Let’s see. A large number of 6-inch artillery shells are no worse than 10-inch cannon and 8-inch cannon!

Suddenly, the entire Yokosuka Factory industrial area was covered in flames and smoke. The huge explosion suppressed people's shouts and screams. A large number of Japanese civilians who came to rescue were exposed to war at such a close distance for the first time.

Death! When facing those giant Beiyang ships in the distance

At that time, they felt the horror and despair of war for the first time. The other party fired at the core of Japan just a few kilometers away. But whether it was the once powerful Japanese combined fleet or the fortresses built with great efforts,

In front of this powerful firepower, it was destroyed!

Looking at the rising smoke columns and fire spots in the factory area in the distance, some people's nerves finally collapsed, breathing in the hot and pungent air, as well as exploding shells and collapsed buildings not far away.

Houses. Coupled with the wailing of the dying and the blood in their eyes. They decisively chose to escape. What is the purpose of serving the country for seven lives, and what is loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor?

At this moment, they just wanted to escape quickly. Because they found that all this was no longer something they could contend with. What was even more frightening was that they found that the country, which had been focused on Westernization and war preparations for more than 20 years after the Meiji Restoration, was still unable to

Competing against that big country in the East! The saddest thing in life is despair. And at this moment they are completely desperate!

"It's over." Prince Komatsu Akihito said with tears in his eyes while standing on a distant mountain and looking at the messy Yokosuka area.

"I didn't expect that Li Hongzhang would do such a wonderful job!" Mutsu Munemitsu said through gritted teeth.

"If Japan had won, Japan would have done even better!" Prince Komatsu said. "It's a pity that Japan will never have a chance. Does Mutsu-kun know? This battle has wiped out all the accumulation of Japan's 20 years of reform."

! Even if we win, it will be a meaningless victory!"

"So where will Japan go from here?" Mutsu Munemitsu asked.

"I don't know. Compared to the Qing Dynasty, I am more worried about Russia. The Qing Dynasty is a decadent country, but Russia is an existence that even the European powers are afraid of." Prince Komatsu's eyes were full of worry.

The Beiyang Fleet's second bombardment was devastating to the Yokosuka Shipyard. The factory buildings in the factory area had no defense at all against the bombardment. Not only the shells, but even large pieces could destroy half of the roof.

Knock it off! In order to keep up with the schedule, the Japanese people accumulated a large amount of raw materials in the factory. Among these raw materials, there are many flammable and explosive products. Many things

It seems very safe, but once it disperses into the air, it may explode if it catches fire (such as some metal shavings, etc.). In the face of artillery shells charged with picric acid, these things directly turn the entire factory area into a sea of ​​​​fire. A large number of

The mechanical equipment was either destroyed by collapsed buildings or burned by flames. What was even more unlucky was that it was directly hit by heavy artillery and was blown to pieces.

"The bombardment of Yokosuka Port had a profound impact on the future situation in East Asia. The dragon in the East finally woke up after sleeping for more than half a century! And its first blow was so terrifying and violent. In 1894

In that war, Japan, the country closest to the West at that time, gained considerable strength after more than 20 years of accumulation.

But the bombing of Yokosuka Port by naval guns told Japan that there is only one master of East Asia, and that is the great country that has been inherited for thousands of years! And Japan can only be his vassal! Although this dragon has not completely

Awakened, but his power has shocked the world!" Felimant wrote in his memoirs after learning about this incident.
