Chapter 26: Attack on Wugang (Part 2)

Afterwards, Zhang Yunfei ordered his sailing and sailed along the coastline east of Wugang.

Soon, in Anderson's surprised gaze, Zhang Yunfei ordered the fleet to pass through Seto Canyon. When the fleet passed through the canyon that had just passed the waterway and appeared in the port east of Xiushan, Anderson made it to the ground and kept muttering: "You are the devil!"

Zhang Yunfei, who looked proud, asked someone to take him down to see, and looked at the new harbor secretly built by Japan. What is very different from later generations is that it has just begun to build here, and there are only some tents and other things in the camp, and next to it is a huge dock. No wonder Anderson was going to run to the other side of the mountain to sleep. If he sleeps here, then what is the difference between him and migrant workers?

I saw that there were only some Japanese workers working in the port. It seemed that others had been killed in Wugang just now. People here seemed that even after hearing the sound of cannons, they did not suspect that Wugang had been attacked by the enemy. This place was too remote.

"Lieutenant Colonel Pablo, I don't think there is any need to bomb here. Apart from a dock, we won't fight for the time being, there are only a bunch of tents left, which is not enough for shell money!" Zhang Yunfei said to Lieutenant Colonel Pablo Neruda with a smile.

"Boss, you are right! It's really not worth a blow!" Lieutenant Colonel Pabru Neruda also said with a smile.

So, Zhang Yunfei looked at Zhao Gang, and Zhao Gang immediately understood and turned around and prepared to log in again.

When Zhang Yunfei's fleet approached the port, the crowd at the port immediately stopped their work and looked outside the port.

Since Zhang Yunfei was wearing the American flag, the Japanese port was founded; the laborers did not react much. Although Japan had just abolished the last unequal treaty with Britain and other powerful peoples, it was no stranger to the United States, the first country that forced Japan to sign an unequal treaty.

So he saw Zhang Yunfei's fleet approaching and dropping the Marines boats carrying the Marines landing at the pier. On the other hand, Zhao Gang and Li Jun were even swaggeringly lined up on the pier.

The Japanese workers on the dock were watching the uninvited guests. If Zhang Yunfei was here, they would definitely find their strangeness and sweat. It turned out that these Japanese workers were watching the strange dress of the Qing people and their braids around their necks, and they were talking, pointing and forgetting that they were enemies.

However, when they saw these Qing people raising their guns, they realized what they were here for, but it was too late. The Marine Corps, which had already lined up, picked up the guns and opened fire. Suddenly, the Japanese workers fell down in rows.

Occasionally, some people who ran fast were also chased by the Qing army behind and were beaten to death one after another.

Killing, simply killing the people! It was also the Qing army's best skill, but this time the target was changed to the Japanese.

Soon the Marines advanced to the dock and announced that the siege was over here, because the dock was the last stronghold here. Sure enough, several Japanese ship workers ran onto the warships and tried to attack the invading Qing army with rapid-fire cannons. Unfortunately, they met Zhao Gang, who was quick-witted and quick-witted, and shot the headshot.

As the cleaning was approaching, and the new Japanese warships were found, Zhang Yunfei and Lieutenant Colonel Pabru Neruda took Anderson, Wang Meng and more than ten guards and others got off the ship to watch.

Everyone boarded the warship with Zhang Yunfei and looked at it carefully. They saw a black-coated warship docked quietly in the slender dock. It was more than 130 meters long and 15 meters wide. It seemed that this guy was larger than the iron armored ship Captain Brad. The firepower was also very powerful, 2 9-inch/45-diameter main guns, 16 6-inch secondary guns, 8 12-pound guns, and 47mm, and 25mm Haqikas small speed-fire guns. The bow of the ship had a collision angle and all steel armored protection. Zhang Yunfei was not only amazed, but was obedient and powerful!

Not only was Zhang Yunfei excited, but everyone around him was attracted by this warship, and Lieutenant Colonel Pabru Neruda kept stroking the warship, just like seeing a beautiful woman.

"Mr. Anderson, don't you think you should introduce this beautiful warship to everyone?" Zhang Yunfei looked at Anderson and asked. Everyone was also attracted by Zhang Yunfei's words. It seemed that everyone wanted to know the performance of this warship.

When Anderson saw that Zhang Yunfei liked this warship very much, he was very happy. Anyone would feel that his masterpiece was appreciated. So he threw away his displeasure just now.

"This warship was designed by me personally and was built at the Armstrong Shipyard of the British Empire. It started construction last year (1893). It was launched in April this year. Afterwards, it was towed back to Japan in May this year for the final installation. The designed displacement is 7,500 tons. The main scale is: the ship is 132.89 meters long, 16.21 meters wide, and the draft is 6.17 meters. The main engine is 2 vertical three-stage expansion steam engines, circular boilers, power 16,000 horsepower, designed speed 23 knots, standard coal loading 1,100 tons, maximum coal loading 1,500 tons, and designed to prepare 500 people. The firepower is: 2 8-inch/45 diameter main guns,

16 6-inch secondary guns, 8 12-pound guns, 3 18-inch torpedo tubes (1 on water, 2 underwater), and the head has a collision angle. The latest Harvey steel protection technology is adopted, with a thickness of 6 inches on the side of the side, with a horizontal protection of 1.5-2 inches. In addition, I used the first time I used the waterline armor protection design, which is 4 inches, the artillery shield is 4.5 inches, and the command tower protection is 8 inches. I was going to install a larger 10-inch main gun, but because the Japanese were too poor and there was no larger lifting equipment, and because the war was rushed, I had to replace it with an 8-inch main gun. Even the dock could barely put my treasure down."

After hearing this, everyone thought: Strange, this is because of the lack of equipment in Japan, and it was created such a big guy. If Japan had enough equipment, wouldn't it be better to build something better?

Zhang Yunfei understood it. It turned out that Japan had been preparing to start a war long ago and knew the neutral legislation of the Western powers. So he drove the newly launched warship back to the country to install the weapon system. He was once again helpless about the ignorance of the Qing Dynasty. You must know that after the war, the Qing Dynasty actually ordered warships in Britain and Germany, both the Feiting and the Feiying. Little did he know that even if he paid the money, he would not give you a warship. It was really ridiculous.

However, Zhang Yunfei had another question. Since this heavy cruiser, which was far stronger than the second ship of the Qing Dynasty, why wasn't the Japanese Navy used it?

Anderson saw Zhang Yunfei's doubts and said, "You want to build it well, not to take it out for war! In fact, even if any warship is built, it will have to be conducted for at least half a year to a year. This warship was debugged by my partner and I working overtime yesterday. You see, the Japanese people's annoying black spray paint has been painted. I originally conducted the sea test today, but now it has become your captive. I don't think there is any need. If possible, I hope you don't hurt her, and I can even tolerate your unreasonable request and work for you for three years."

Looking at Anderson's begging expression, Zhang Yunfei understood his mood. No designer could tolerate his works being ruined or destroyed because they treated their works as their children.

"Can he drive away?" Zhang Yunfei originally wanted to destroy the warship because he could not carry an untested warship to carry out the mission. However, he felt unbearable when he saw Anderson's praying expression. In fact, everyone felt sorry for this warship, and Zhang Yunfei was no exception. Someone tied up Anderson, the great designer, what was the most expensive at the end of the 19th century? Answer: Talent. Such a person can't even find a lantern!

"Yes! Although I don't carry ammunition, there is plenty of coal. As long as you have someone to drive, I think it's easy for you!" Anderson said hurriedly when he saw Zhang Yunfei letting go.

"Ltd. Col. Pabruleuda! Do you think we can bring this warship?" Zhang Yunfei turned around and asked Lieutenant.

"Don't worry, boss, no problem!" Lieutenant Colonel Pabru Neruda answered affirmatively.

"Okay! You can arrange someone to deal with it! How long will it take, you know, we don't have that much time!" said Zhang Yunfei.

"It's 30 minutes!" said Lieutenant Colonel Pabru Neruda.

"Okay! I'll go back to the ship and wait for you!" Zhang Yunfei turned around and said to Anderson: "In addition, Mr. Anderson, please stay on this warship and bring your friends with you! If there is a problem, it's easy to deal with it in time. Remember, if you can't keep up with my fleet, I will sink it!"

"Thank God, you are such a good person! Please rest assured, I will handle it!" Anderson said gratefully.

"Then I wish you good luck!" After saying that, Zhang Yunfei ordered Zhao Gang to arrange a team of soldiers to watch Anderson and others, leave the warship under Wang Meng's escort, and return to the Brad. Left Lieutenant Colonel Pabruneruda, arranges crew members to manage the warship.

So Lieutenant Colonel Pabru Neruda drew more than 100 sailors from five Chilean warships and 300 people from Lin Jianzhang's last five warships. Since Zhang Yunfei had already concentrated all the elites of his South China Fleet on these five warships, and it was slightly over-staffed, Lieutenant Colonel Pabruneruda not only drove the Japanese warships, but also made a basically full staff. In this way, he picked some useable ammunition from the new warships in Chile and added a base ammunition to the warship. It gave it a certain combat power and would not be a waste of time. The captain was the former deputy captain of the Captain Brad, and the deputy captain was the current deputy captain of the Jingqing, and the original Weijing guard Wu Daqing. These were all things Zhang Yunfei could not have imagined. Who made Zhang Yunfei an amateur?

Sure enough, in less than 30 minutes, the captured warship drove out of the dock, and then there was only a loud noise. The newly-formed shipyard was blown to pieces. Since Wu Port was the rear supply and warship maintenance base for Japan during the war, there were many advanced equipment transported from Britain, and it was destroyed at this time, so the little Japanese had been in pain for a while. Lieutenant Colonel Pabru Neruda returned to the Brad and told Zhang Yunfei that it had completed the processing.

So Zhang Yunfei ordered the entire fleet to set sail. It was already 9:30 in the morning, and the six-hour sneak attack on Wugang was over.

It was originally a long time that the Japanese base camp should have received a report, but unfortunately, when the shells first hit, a shell fell into the telephone room, so the already remote Wugang contacted the outside world was completely interrupted, which was also the reason why Zhang Yunfei was able to slaughter Japanese workers.

The victory of the first battle gave Zhang Yunfei and the generals a reassurance. Faced with such great results, they no longer had the tension at the beginning. It was even generally believed that Japan's defense was just this kind of virtue. This also caused Zhang Yunfei's army to soar, and what followed was the officers' confidence in victory.

In fact, sometimes the victory or defeat of a war is supported by a sense of courage and belief. The subsequent battles caused this group of temporary and untrained troops to explode with amazing combat power and also grew up from the war.
