Chapter 246 bombarding Tokyo Bay

(Thanks to book friend PLA-1234 for the rewards and monthly tickets, and thanks to book friend Misaiya, Chener, and Duro11 for the monthly tickets!)

On June 13, 1895, after the Sino-Japanese negotiations reached a deadlock, the Chinese team resumed its attack on the Japanese army. On the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula, the Chinese Army invested a total of ten divisions to launch a campaign against the besieged Japanese army.

The Japanese army that lost supplies could not resist the attack of the Chinese team. Even though they performed very bravely, they were still useless in the face of absolute strength.

The Japanese army's defense line was broken through one after another by the Chinese army. A large number of Japanese troops were either killed or had to surrender to the Chinese army. If this speed continues, it will not take long before the Japanese army will be completely wiped out.

This is not the most serious thing for Japan. On the morning of June 13, the Chinese Navy arrived outside Tokyo Bay. As long as you pass through the Uraga waterway in front, you can enter Tokyo Bay and launch an attack on Japan's capital Tokyo.

When the huge fleet appeared outside Tokyo Bay and the rolling black smoke covered the sky, all the remaining troops of the Japanese Navy guarding here were shocked. The Japanese Admiral Samami, who was responsible for guarding Tokyo Bay, was responsible for guarding Tokyo Bay.

The Japanese Navy's coastal defense fort near the Uraga Waterway was ordered to prepare for combat, and the torpedo boats in Tokyo Bay immediately set fire and were ready to attack at any time. At the same time, they quickly reported this emergency military situation to Navy Minister Saigo. However, in the Navy

Before the Ministry’s order was issued, he could only try his best to resist the attack of the Chinese navy. However, with the old Japanese turrets and dozens of torpedo boats near the Ura Waterway, could he withstand the attack of the Chinese navy? In this regard,

He can't guarantee it.

"The Uraga Waterway is ahead. As long as you pass through here, you can enter Tokyo Bay and attack the heart of Japan. However, we must first deal with the turrets on both sides of the Uraga Waterway, and at the same time, we must also be prepared.

The attack of the Japanese torpedo boats!" said Li Dingxin, chief of staff of the Chinese fleet.

"It's just a clown who jumps the beam, so it's not necessary to pay attention to it. Beihai No. 1 to Beihai No. 8 to start, pay close attention to the situation on the sea surface, and once the Japanese torpedo boat was discovered, it would sink immediately. Beihai No. 9 to Beihai No. 12 destroyer is on the left, Beihai No. 1, Beihai

The 13th to the Beihai No. 16th is on the right, and closely guard against the sneak attacks of the Japanese torpedo boats. The light cruisers also pay attention to hunting the Japanese torpedo boats and old warships. Battleships and heavy cruisers are ready to clear the Japanese shore defense turrets at designated locations!" Deng Shichang calmly

The current Chinese Navy has an overwhelming advantage over the Japanese Navy. The Japanese Navy's defense in Tokyo Bay is like paper in front of the Chinese Navy, and it can be broken with one stab.

The warships of the Chinese Navy immediately changed plastic surgery according to the order. The eight destroyers of Beihai-1 to Beihai-8 were the first to enter the Ura waterway. Behind them was the main ship of the Chinese Navy. The main force was the main force.

The hideous muzzle on the ship was raised high and aimed at both sides of the Uraga waterway. The shelling observation balloons have also been launched, and they will provide more accurate guidance for the artillery fire of the warships.

"Order all the artillery to fire, and must resist the Chinese Navy and not allow them to enter Tokyo Bay!" Major General Sushima Shinji issued an order. The coast of Tokyo Bay is the heart of Japan, and the industrial area in the Seto Inland Sea has been banned by China.

After the navy was destroyed, the industrial areas along the Gulf of Tokyo became even more important to Japan. If they were invaded by the Chinese Navy, it would undoubtedly be a disaster. In addition, if the Chinese Navy bombarded Tokyo and injured His Majesty the Supreme Emperor,

Then the generals are even more likely to be blamed for their deaths.

The narrowest part of the Uraga Waterway is less than ten kilometers, and the widest part is only twelve or three kilometers. For the defense of Tokyo Bay, Japan has set up more than ten large and small turrets on both sides of the Uraga Waterway, with various calibers.

There are hundreds of shore defense cannons. However, most of these shore defense cannons are from more than ten or twenty years ago. Not only are they short range, but their firing rate is also extremely slow, and there is no way to deal with the new Chinese Navy ships.

Compared with cannon.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Japan's shore defense turrets opened fire one after another, and a large number of shells hit the sea, splashing water columns. The Chinese Navy destroyers that had entered the Uraga waterway flexibly avoided these artillery fires.

"Fire the artillery!" The Chinese Navy's main battleships also opened fire at the Japanese shore defense turrets. Whether it was the main guns or the secondary guns on the warships, they joined the ranks of fire. The Japanese turrets on both sides of the Uraga Waterway were all open.

The turret was not built, and even the Chinese Navy's secondary gun could effectively kill the Japanese Navy.

The fierce artillery battle began, but no matter what the point is, it is a completely asymmetric artillery battle. Many of Japan's old coastal defense artillery cannot reach the Chinese Navy at all. The Chinese Navy's naval guns can

Easily remove their turrets one by one.

"General, the Chinese warships are too powerful, we can't resist them at all." Less than twenty minutes after the war started, several of the more than ten Japanese turrets had been removed by the Western Sichuan Army.

"Order the torpedo boat team to launch an attack!" The samayashima official said helplessly. His face turned pale because he knew that most of the torpedo boats were difficult to work. Letting them attack the Chinese navy was just to let them die

That's it.

"The general has an order to launch an attack on the Chinese Navy immediately. It is necessary to destroy the Chinese Navy's warships, protect the Tokyo Bay, and protect His Majesty the Emperor!" A messenger issued an order to the Japanese torpedo boat brigade stationed in Yokosuka Military Port.

"Yes! All crew members are ready to set off. In order to protect His Majesty the Emperor, even if they are broken, they will do whatever they want!" a navy colonel shouted loudly.

"Protect Your Majesty the Emperor and kill all the Chinese people!" The Japanese sailors also shouted, as if they wanted to reliably cheer themselves on this method.

Soon, dozens of Japanese Navy torpedo boats left Yokosuka Naval Base and entered the Urawa Waterway. As soon as they entered the waterway, they immediately drove at full speed and rushed towards the Chinese Navy main battleship that was ravaging the Japanese coastal defense turret in the distance.

.

The Japanese Navy's torpedo boats are almost at about twenty knots. In the narrow Uraga waterway, it is very suitable for their attacks. However, the main ships of the Chinese Navy have not entered the Uraga waterway, but are just in the waterway.

The periphery of the waterway only launched an attack on the shore defense turrets on both sides of the waterway. Moreover, the Chinese Navy's destroyers were still covering the battleship.

As soon as the Japanese Navy's torpedo boat appeared, the eight destroyers from Beihai-1 to Beihai-8 opened fire. The 88mm rapid-fire cannon on the warship made a ping-pong sound, and splashes of water were blown around the Japanese torpedo boat.

The weak wooden shell, the 88mm rapid-fire gun, was enough to tear them apart.

From time to time, torpedo boats were hit and caught fire, and they were sunk before they could even launch the torpedo. The old-fashioned torpedoes equipped by the Japanese Navy had a range of less than 800 meters, so they had to rush to the near future of the Chinese naval warship before they could launch an attack.

.And for them, this distance is simply the road to death.

However, even so, these Japanese torpedo boats were still dying and rushing to the main battleships of the Chinese Navy. Even if a large number of torpedo boats were sunk, they could not destroy their fighting will.

"Commander, should the main battleship avoid it for a while?" Looking at the Japanese torpedo boat that was rushing towards him quickly in the distance, Li Dingxin, the chief of staff of the Chinese Navy Fleet, said cautiously.

"No! Order all light cruisers to attack. The secondary guns and rapid-fire guns of the main battleships also attack the torpedo boats of the Japanese Navy. The main gun continues to understand the shore defense guns on both sides of the waterway!" Deng Shichang shook his head.

After the Chinese Navy's light cruisers and the secondary guns of the main battleships also opened fire, the Japanese Navy's torpedo boats were in a more dangerous situation. One torpedo boat after another was hit and then sank into the sea. Especially by large-caliber shells

After the hit, these torpedo boats with a tonnage of only one or two hundred tons were even blown up on the spot.

"Start up!" On a torpedo boat, the captain of the Japanese Navy's torpedo boat brigade was commanding with a ferocious look on his face.

"Your Excellency Captain, you have the maximum horsepower. If you accelerate again, the boiler will be damaged!"

"Baga! The boiler is damaged, it is better than being sunk by the Chinese people!" The captain was furious.

However, before he finished speaking, a shell exploded beside him, tearing his body to pieces. In addition, the bow of the torpedo boat was also blown up and sank in a few minutes later

In the sea.

In less than half an hour, more than 20 torpedo boats of the Japanese Navy were all destroyed, and they did not cause any damage to the Chinese Navy. Most of them were destroyed before they rushed to the Chinese Navy. The rest were left.

Most of them fired torpedoes at a long distance, and were easily avoided by the Chinese Navy's warships.

Japanese Rear Admiral Samushima Junjiu looked at all this in pain, but there was no way. With the entire torpedo boat brigade being wiped out, the fall of the entire Tokyo Bay was already in front of him.

After the Japanese Navy's torpedo boat brigade was solved, the Chinese Navy once again began the turrets on both sides of the Qinglingura Kasui Channel. With the full strike of the Chinese Navy, all of these turrets were quickly destroyed.

At 10 a.m., after confirming safety, the Chinese Navy's main battleship entered the Uraga waterway and headed towards Tokyo Bay. Several destroyers and light cruisers had already entered Tokyo Bay and launched a campaign against Japan's Yokosuka Naval Base.

Attack. Although Yokosuka Naval Base is the largest naval base of the Japanese army, with the destruction of the joint fleet, there are only a few old gunboats left here. Even when facing the light cruisers and destroyers of the Western Sichuan Army, they are unable to counterattack.

Yokosuka's shore defense cannons were slightly threatening, but with the arrival of the main battleships of the Chinese Navy, these shore defense cannons could not escape the destruction.
