After leaving Wugang, Zhang Yunfei was still full of fighting spirit, so he ordered the attack plan to continue, because he knew that the Japanese main fleet had already gone to the Korean Peninsula to search for the Beiyang fleet. Even if the remaining Xihai fleet knew that Zhang Yunfei had attacked Wugang, it would be more than ten hours after he arrived at Wugang, because their speed was slower. What he had to do now was to give the greatest damage to the Japanese coast, so that Japan could not supply the Japanese troops on the front line with all their strength. Whether the Qing Dynasty could seize the opportunity was not something he could control. At least Zhang Yunfei had already tried his best.

So the original plan that was originally sneaky was now changed by Zhang Yunfei to a plan to attack important coastal facilities in Japan. So along the way, 11 warships frequently launched guns to attack houses and factories along the coast. Since there were no important cities, ports and factories in the Seto Inland Sea at this time, the gunners of each ship simply began to practice shooting technology. Such important facilities were not destroyed, but many fishing boats were knocked out. The only thing that excited Zhang Yunfei was that a Japanese patrol gunboat was sunk.

Just as Zhang Yunfei's fleet left Wugang, he was passing near Shidao, Japan, unexpectedly encountered a Japanese patrol gunboat. Since the fleet was wearing an American flag, the Japanese gunboat did not fire first, but went forward to ask. Lieutenant Colonel Pablo had ordered the Japanese gunboat to enter the effective range, and each ship fired immediately. So as soon as the Japanese patrol gunboat approached, it was immediately packed with dumplings by several shells, and instantly sank in two pieces. This was the fourth Japanese warship sunk by the Nanyang Navy.

So Zhang Yunfei didn't sneak up on the dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty! Because there were villages along the Seto Inland Sea at this time, there were no telegrams and other communication tools, so the nearby Japanese could not inform the situation here to their superiors in an urgent manner, until Zhang Yunfei's fleet arrived at the Seto Inland Sea Osaka Bay, which is the only city in the Seto Inland Sea in Japan.

At 11:30 am on September 17, Zhang Yunfei's Nanyang fleet broke into Osaka Bay.

Since Osaka Bay is a very open harbor, Osaka Bay is about 50 kilometers long and 30 kilometers wide, but at this time, Osaka Bay was only initially formed and far from the advanced generations of later generations. The target of attack was only a small part of Osaka Bay. Therefore, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Pablo, the fleet still used the previous formation, with the reverse eight-character formation, and the fleet extended to Osaka Port like a large plier.

At this time, Osaka Port was very lively. Although it was a war period, in addition to transport ships requisitioned by the Japanese military, there were still many merchant ships, cargo ships and fishing boats entering and leaving. Various cargoes were piled up along the docks of Osaka Bay. There were even some foreign merchant ships passing through them.

The Qing warships that suddenly broke into Osaka Port, all the ships in the port and porters on the shore dock stopped their work, looking at the Qing warships lined up, and the Japanese troops on the transport ships in the port that transported materials for the Japanese troops on the front line were even more panicked when they saw the dragon flags on these warships.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Someone shouted, and then the enemy attack sirens sounded, filling the entire Osaka Port in an instant! At this time, the people who reacted immediately looked for a place to hide. Some Japanese guards escorted the transport ships rushed to the shore defense turrets on both sides of the port under the command of some officers. Their movements were not as dull as the Japanese in Wu Port, but they were still quick, that was the shells of the Nanyang Fleet.

Under Zhang Yunfei's order, the main guns of each ship, which had been ready to be launched, poured out angry flames to Osaka Port. Each main gun shell weighing hundreds of kilograms fell on the dock and directly flattened the surrounding area within dozens of meters. If it encountered flammable cargo, it would immediately cause a fire. In that place, the entire Osaka dock was smoky and flames flew. Before the Japanese army could load the bullets, they were blown away by the roaring shells, and the scattered fragments would blow away the close Japanese army. Not to mention whether the turret that had not been used for decades could still be used, in fact, even if they successfully fired the shells, they would not be able to hurt Zhang Yunfei's fleet, because the ball iron bullets would be useless unless they hit people directly. They wanted to make a hole in the warship unless the warship was wood.

As the main gun was fired, the sailors immediately withdrew the shell and began to load the next shell. There was about two minutes between them. However, the secondary guns of each ship immediately filled the gap and kept their firepower. After the secondary guns were fired, the rapid-fire guns of each ship poured the rain of bullets all over the dock. Although the rapid-fire guns were not very penetrating to warships, their lethality was indeed amazing, with 350 rounds per minute, especially when attacking the crowd, like heavy machine guns firing, these workers, crew members, merchants, and fishermen who were running around were knocked to the ground and kept wailing.

As the warship approached, the lethality became stronger. The excited Marine Corps even stood on the decks of both ends of the warship, aimed at the running crowds on the shore, and practiced gunfire (the warships had rapid-fire cannons on both sides, and they dared not go over). The officers and soldiers of the artillery team did not show weakness, and directly set up the Krupp camp cannons and bombed them towards the shore.

Seeing all this, Zhang Yunfei was very happy. In this era, only soldiers who have killed people and seen blood can be called qualified soldiers, because any soldier can only become a real soldier after passing the psychological level. Even in modern times, soldiers must be subjected to psychological tests. Only after passing the qualification can they become a soldier worthy of the entrusted by the people of the country.

While the shelling was in progress, Lieutenant Colonel Pabru Neruda said to Zhang Yunfei: "Boss, look, this Osaka Port is so prosperous, and there are military transport ships for transporting materials. There are two cities, Osaka and Kobe nearby. There should be Japanese troops stationed nearby. Do you see if we immediately organize the Marines to land and build fortifications to resist the Japanese army. Or we will leave here after a while after shelling, so we will not need Marines."

Pablo's words reminded Zhang Yunfei that since he attacked Wugang, he had not encountered a large number of Japanese troops along the way. He was a little careless. Kobe next to Osaka, and there should be a large number of Japanese troops stationed!

"Forget it, this is not our main target of attack! There is no need to confront the Japanese army head-on, which will increase our casualties by ourselves!" Zhang Yunfei put down his telescope and said.

Then Zhang Yunfei ordered all ships to concentrate their firepower to attack the cargo and berthed ships at the port.

In this way, under the focus of artillery fire, the cargo piled up at the dock ignited a huge fire, and various ships docked at the dock were shot and sunk one after another. Even foreign merchant ships could not escape such indiscriminate attacks, but Zhang Yunfei could no longer care about it. Occasionally, there were people who wanted to drive the ship out of the dock, but facing 11 warships, it was even harder than climbing to the sky. At this time, a Japanese transport ship suddenly had a huge explosion, and the continuous explosions affected the surrounding ships and violent explosions. Zhang Yunfei knew that it was a Japanese military ship, and it seemed that the effect was good.

At this time, Wang Meng beside Zhang Yunfei suddenly said: "Sir, since there is a fleet of Japanese armaments here, there should be Japanese arms factory nearby!"

Wang Meng's words reminded Zhang Yunfei and Lieutenant Colonel Pabru Neruda. Both of them looked at Wang Meng with admiration.

So, the two began to use telescopes to find a possible arsenal. More than ten minutes later, Zhang Yunfei found that there were a large number of black smoke columns near the direction of Kobe Maya Mountain, about 5 kilometers and 3 kilometers of water. So Zhang Yunfei, who was gambled, ordered the Brad, which had the farthest range, to drive over with the newly captured warship. After entering the range, Zhang Yunfei ordered the position of the smoke column to fire. After more than ten shots, Zhang Yunfei saw that there was no movement and thought it was not when the arsenal left. At this time, he suddenly heard a deafening sound from the other side, as if it was an earthquake, and it soared into the air.

The fiery mushroom cloud told Zhang Yunfei that he had arrived at the arsenal. It turned out that the ammunition depot of the arsenal was very strong. Even the 9.4-inch and 45-distance main gun of the Brad ironclad ship was fired with a 30-kilogram shell, which was not easy to penetrate. However, due to war, the ammunition depot had to expand its output and reserves. The ammunition depot was not enough, so several ammunition depots were simply built, and some ammunition was placed directly in the open air for convenience of transportation. It was precisely because of the hits of these simple ammunition depots that a series of violent explosions in the ammunition depots eventually led to a big explosion in the entire arsenal.

'It seems that my luck is pretty good!' Zhang Yunfei thought to himself.

Zhang Yunfei was lucky. The Osaka military factory was established in the third year of Meiji (1870). During the Southwest War, in order to avoid risks, the shogunate transferred the Dutch machinery and equipment set up in the Nagasaki steel mill to Osaka, thus establishing the Osaka military factory, located between Osaka Castle and Osaka Bay. Later, because Japan was determined to do its best to start a war with the Qing Dynasty, it borrowed 50 million pounds from the Bank of England, of which 10 million pounds were used for the introduction of equipment and technology of this arsenal.

It is also the only factory that can produce strong drugs used for naval naval guns. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, it was the leading military supplies factory in Toyo, and its full name is Osaka Army Arsenal (commonly known as the "artillery factory"). The factory covers an area of ​​400,000 square meters (1 square meter is about 3.3 square meters). During the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, there were more than 60,000 workers, including temporary requisition workers. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the lifeblood of Japan, but Zhang Yunfei did not know this, otherwise he would be so happy that he would not be able to sleep for several nights.

After an hour of shelling, Osaka Port was filled with flames everywhere, with broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, and blood stained the entire harbor red, as if the fire on the shore was reflected, everything was so natural. The violent explosion at the Osaka Arsenal pushed the attack to a climax.

Now, there are almost no valuable targets in the entire Osaka Port, so Zhang Yunfei ordered the cessation of artillery fire. Amid the cheers of nearly 5,000 soldiers, Zhang Yunfei issued an order to retreat in formation, and the fleet slowly retreated from the port.

Just after Zhang Yunfei's Nanyang fleet left, several heads appeared under the ruins of several ships. Because of their intelligence, they hid below and escaped. In fact, there were survivors in powerful wars, including the Holocaust. But what if they escaped? Faced with combat materials that were destroyed by the fire of war, it was more difficult for Japan, who had devoted all their financial resources and fought with the country, than killing them.

More than ten minutes later, when the 19th Guard Brigade of Japan who had arrived in Osaka Castle, who had rushed to hear the sound, saw that the 19th Guard Brigade in Osaka Castle was so depressed that he was full of broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, and his face was dull. The brigade commander Jin Ji Shilang fell to the ground directly, smashed the ground with both hands, and cried bitterly. Finally, he pulled out his sword and committed suicide by crying.

At this point, from the Meiji Restoration to the later generations, the Three Bays and One Seas, Tokyo Bay, Ise Bay, Osaka Bay and Seto Inland Sea, two of the four were devastatingly attacked by Zhang Yunfei, and the remaining Tokyo Bay will be the target of Zhang Yunfei's attack, because at this time, Japan has no power to stop Zhang Yunfei. Japan has experienced such an unprecedented catastrophe, and the facilities are destroyed and can save money to buy them, but engineers and technicians cannot be cultivated in a short period of time. The arrogant Japan never expected that the cowardly Qing Dynasty would come to attack Japan's mainland, which would lead to a disaster. However, Japan's nightmare was just the beginning.

The ghostly Qing Nanyang Fleet and the devil-like Zhang Yunfei will be afraid of the Japanese for the rest of their lives!
