Red Alert 1895

The time is fast, and it has arrived on February 12, 1896 AD, and today happens to be New Year's Eve. It was originally a day when thousands of families were reunited with lights, but now in Taiwan, even Wang Guorui, the leader of Taiwan's anti-Japanese war, and ordinary soldiers and civilians can't laugh. Because according to the news, a large force of the Japanese army is coming soon, and it is said that there are hundreds of ships, which can almost block out the sky. But now that the Japanese army is obviously about to land, their thoughts on Taiwan are still undead.

"Damn it, it won't be a good year, these devils are really bastards!" Wang Guorui cursed secretly.

In Keelung, Taipei, hundreds of Japanese ships arrived in Keelung, Taipei, waiting to continue landing. And because the large forces of the United Fleet went to cruise along the coast of the mainland, it put more pressure on the Manchu Qing government, so that the Manchu Qing government did not dare to continue to abolish the Treaty of Shimonoseki. The Manchu Qing government was also very frightened by the Japanese warships, so they did not dare to come to Taiwan to fight. However, even without the cover of the combined fleet, the Japanese army only sent some old ships to cover the landing of the army. However, since Taiwan does not have a navy, it is impossible to prevent the Japanese army from continuing to land on Taiwan.

On the bridge of an old Japanese warship, Lieutenant General Kawakami Cao Liu, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army attacking Taiwan, was directing the Japanese army to prepare for landing on the bridge. This time, the Japanese army was landing with a large force!

"Your Excellency, Commander, our troops are ready to start landing, and our navy can cover the landing of the army at any time!" Said a Japanese Navy Colonel.

Kawakami Caoroku immediately said: "Land for me. If someone wants to attack halfway, the navy will cover me with artillery! In this era, the tactics of attacking halfway are almost useless, especially when landing at sea. We have warships that can be used as cover, and they can't attack halfway. They don't have a navy, we can easily let the navy cover the army to land, and then they can only watch us land!"

Kawakami Cao Liu was not worried that Wang Guorui sent troops to stop them from landing, because blocking them was useless, and it was just a waste of the lives of his soldiers. Because they have a navy. Although the models of these warships are very old, they represent warships too! The power of the naval guns of warships is not comparable to that of ordinary army guns. Wang Guorui's current largest caliber gun is the shore gun in Tainan, but that is a shore gun. Something that cannot be moved. The maximum caliber of mobile artillery is only 105 mm, and there are not many such artillery, which is a heavy artillery regiment directly under Wang Guorui's command. However, each of the Japanese naval guns also started at 100 mm, which is the gap.

"My lord, do you want Miss Tanya to sink those warships? Isn't Miss Tanya capable of sinking a ship with explosives?" Chen Liyan asked.

But Wang Guorui said: "No, it's too late. There are probably hundreds of Japanese troopships, and each ship can have 500 people. It's not bad. Miss Tan Ya can swim to blow up the Japanese ships. , but Miss Tanya can only carry five dynamite packs at a time, otherwise he can't do too many actions in the sea water. If he carries too much, I'm afraid Miss Tanya will overwhelm the sea water and be unable to float. It can be five, that is to say, it can only sink five ships at a time. At most, it can cause the loss of 2,500 people. And then Miss Tanya ran from us to Taipei to prevent the other party from landing. Two hours. Two hours is enough for the Japanese army to carry out the first batch of landing. So we can only kill more than 2,000 of them at one time."

"Of course. The most important thing is that we don't want to expose Miss Tanya's card. Although the Japanese army knows that Miss Tanya is very strong in land combat, they don't know that she is also very good at water. If we advance for more than 2,000 Japanese troops It will be exposed, so I am afraid that this method will not work next time. The Japanese army is not a fool, and the possibility of their success is too low if they are prepared!"

The reason why Wang Guorui didn't ask Tanya to prevent the Japanese army from landing was because it was meaningless, because Tanya could only dispatch one time at most, and one time was more than two thousand Japanese troops, or even less. Because if the warship is bombed and sunk, the ships next to it can rush to rescue it, so it doesn't make much sense. But the price was that Tanya's water combat ability was exposed. At that time, other warships of the Japanese army will also be on guard, so it will be useless. Generally speaking, it is difficult for the same method to have a second chance to work. If used this time. The next time the Japanese army will not be fooled, it will be a loss. Rather than exposing Tanya for the sake of more than 2,000 ordinary Japanese infantrymen, it is better to use good steel on the blade. It was earned by bombing Japanese warships. An advanced warship is more valuable than more than 2,000 infantry, and a warship is more harmful to Wang Guorui than a Japanese army regiment. So on the whole, it is better not to prevent the Japanese army from landing.

"Let our troops retreat from near Taipei!" Wang Guorui said.

"Retreat?" Hu Wei asked.

Wang Guorui said helplessly: "We have to retreat. Leave some space, we can't be too far from the shore. Japanese warships are not vegetarians, we can only retreat under such circumstances, otherwise the Japanese warships can Support, then our department will be at a disadvantage. We can’t afford to mess with it, so we can only hide it! Although Ms. Tanya can blow up warships, it’s better not to use them if you can. At present, the warships of the Japanese army are all old models Yes, it’s not worth it for them. If you want to blow up, you have to blow up the most important joint fleet of the Japanese army, don’t waste the opportunity on these rags.”

Following Wang Guorui's order, the Japanese troops that had landed soon began to attack Taipei. The siege of Taipei City had already been given up by Wang Guorui, and the Japanese troops of the guard divisions in Taipei City soon felt that they had met a savior, and their domestic support troops finally arrived.

"Sixth Lieutenant General Kawakami, I miss you so much!" Kitashirakawa said with a beefy face.

And a staff officer next to Kawakami Caoliu immediately snorted: "Your Highness, you have lost this time, and you have almost lost the entire guard division. What should you do? You were defeated by the Chinese militia. , really lost the face of our entire Great Japanese Empire!"

Kitashirakawa Palace has gone through this battle for a long time, and it can be said that it has lost to the core. If it is not for the status of a prince, I am afraid that it will have been dragged back to the country for trial. And people in the country also look down on him, so a Japanese military staff officer dared to be so rude to him.

Noku Kitashirakawa said bitterly: "Where are they militias? They are even more powerful than the German army!"

"Hmph, you are incompetent, Your Excellency the Prince?" the staff officer snorted.

"Slap!" Kawakami Caoroku slapped the staff officer on the face, and said angrily, "Your Excellency Nokyu is also the royal prince of our Great Japanese Empire, and he is also a lieutenant general in terms of military rank. No matter what, it is not you, a major, who can do this." Speaker!"

"Hi!" said the staff officer.

Kawakami Caoliu immediately said: "Your Excellency, can you introduce this enemy to me? You said that they are stronger than the German army. What's going on?"

After a while, Kawakami Caoroku finally heard what Kitashirakawa had said, and had a preliminary understanding of Wang Guorui's army. And then, Kawakami Caoliu also began to check the map of Taiwan. Kawakami Caoroku is not a person who underestimates the enemy, and anyone who underestimates the enemy will never be able to become a high-level military officer. Even if they underestimate the enemy at first, they will definitely pay attention to it once they suffer. If you keep underestimating the enemy, no one will be able to reach the top. Kawakami Caoliu had commanded the entire Japanese army's operations against China before. It can be said that he was the de facto chief planner of the Japanese army in the Sino-Japanese War. He will never underestimate China, let alone any enemy. Kitashirakawa Palace Noku led the Guards Division to lose miserably here before, so he naturally wouldn't think it was accidental. If there is such a coincidence in this world, Kawakami Moroku will never believe it.

"I'm ashamed to say that if I hadn't learned the opponent's tactics, I'm afraid we would have perished earlier. Their trench warfare, artillery suppression, artillery preparation, these tactics are all learned from them. Unfortunately, without them so much Good conditions~www.wuxiax.com~ Otherwise, I won’t lose. Because I don’t have as much firepower as them, I’m not going to be an anti-dog!” Kitashirakawa’s “self-criticism” was very direct .

"Your Excellency, you still want to learn the tactics of the Chinese people?" Someone asked disdainfully.

"Crack!" Kawakami Tsuroku slapped the table again, and said, "So what about learning the enemy's tactics? We will still conquer the world in the future after the Great Japanese Empire, and the Germans are also one of the goals we want to conquer! But we don't want to conquer the world now!" Just to learn from the Germans? Learn from the enemy, there is no shame in that! If we don’t learn from the enemy, we will all perish sooner or later.”

Noku Kitashirakawa expressed his gratitude to Kawakami Moroku, after all, Noku Kitashirakawa was absolving him. Of course, if Kitashirakawa Palace hadn't been able to have the status of a prince for a long time, Kawakami Caoroku would not have excused him.

"No matter what, our enemies are not weak. They have more powerful firepower and more advanced tactics than us, so we must be cautious. They will be the most difficult opponents of our Great Japanese Empire! We must defeat They, otherwise we wouldn’t even talk about occupying Taiwan. If they join forces with the Chinese mainland government, then we, Japan, will be in danger instead,” Kawakami said. (To be continued.) xh118
