The 3rd Division began a frantic offensive around Tokyo Bay, and the 2nd Division and the 15th Brigade began a large-scale battle on the other side!

After completing the landing from Shizuoka, Gao Qi led four brigades to launch an attack in the direction of Nagoya, and it was only a little more than a hundred miles from Shizuoka to Nagoya, so for the People's Army, two days was enough to arrive!

The commander of the Fourth Brigade who rushed to the front was the regiment commander Lu Zhengxiao who stood out from the bloody battle of Rongcheng Bay, although he defeated the British and Japanese coalition forces, but the brigade commander Zhang Suimou also died heroically, the soldiers of the original Second Brigade hated the British and Japanese one by one when they thought of the sacrifice of the brigade commander, and this time they landed on the Japanese soil, Lu Zhengxiao had already made up his mind to make the Japanese pay a heavy price!

Nagoya, the current defense of Nagoya is extremely empty, and at the weakest time, Emperor Meiji issued an edict to transfer all the main forces of the Nagoya garrison to the Kyoto area, and there are heavy troops near Kyoto, but the Nagoya and Osaka lines are in the emptiest time.

Lu Zhengxiao led the army out for more than sixty miles in one go, rested for several hours, and marched again until the afternoon of the next day, when he came to Nagoya.

As soon as he arrived, Lu Zhengxiao ordered the artillery battalion to launch an artillery attack on Nagoya, at this time Nagoya had already received the news of the People's Army's attack, Nagoya was completely in chaos, and nearly 100,000 people in a city were completely in panic and fear!

Lu Zhengxiao did not give the Nagoya defenders the slightest chance at all, under the cover of artillery and heavy machine guns, they launched a direct charge, and the entire brigade pressed up, and now Nagoya's troops are not as good as those in Yokohama, and they are even weaker, and under the fierce attack of the People's Army, Nagoya's city defense collapsed in an instant, and Nagoya was completely plunged into a sea of fire.

The attack was launched in the afternoon, and at dusk, Lu Zhengxiao was already sitting in the yamen of Nagoya.

The strength of a brigade easily took Nagoya and began to loot unscrupulously, and the Nagoya soldiers and civilians suffered an even more serious blow!

News soon reached Kyoto, where there were now only two telegraph lines in Japan, one from Edo to Kyoto and one from Osaka to Nagoya, connecting more than a dozen cities in both directions.

In Kyoto, when Emperor Meiji was urgently deploying defense, the secretary hurriedly ran in and shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good......

Emperor Meiji's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted, "What's wrong?" ”

The secretary wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said urgently: "Your Majesty, a telegram was sent almost simultaneously from the direction of Nagoya and the direction of Edo, Shizuoka, Nagoya, Yokosuka, Yokohama, and Kawasaki were successively attacked by the Chinese People's Army, and tens of thousands of Chinese troops completed the landing on the eastern coast and launched a frantic attack, and at least a dozen towns and cities were subjected to the bloodbath of the Chinese army......

Emperor Meiji was dizzy, sat down in a chair, and muttered, "How is it possible, how is it possible?" How did they think that the East Coast had launched an attack? ”

Suddenly, Emperor Meiji jumped up from his seat and roared angrily: "Quick, hurry up and send the decree, order Okubo Ritsu to immediately mobilize the army, turn the muzzle of the cannon, and concentrate at full speed towards Mt. Tamazaisori in the west of Kyoto, and cut off the threat of the Chinese army to Kyoto and Osaka!" Be sure to cut off their threat and organize their continued attack! ”

Emperor Meiji was completely panicked, he really didn't expect that the Huaxia Navy fleet would go around more than 1,000 kilometers, give up attacking Kyoto, and instead attack Tokyo Bay and Nagoya, although his own imperial family will not be threatened, but Japan's economic center is in the area of Tokyo Bay, Edo is the largest city in Japan!

"Minister Moyes, it's all up to you this time, only you, only the British Empire can save us......"

Emperor Meiji sent Moyes to kneel, if Moyes really didn't make a move, then how could Japan stop the wolf-like Chinese soldiers? I'm afraid that I will have to become a prisoner of the Chinese.

The Japanese minister Moyes on the side was also very anxious, not because he was anxious about Emperor Meiji, but for Japan, Japan was already a meal on the plate of the British Empire, and now the Chinese Empire wants to insert a bar, but it's troublesome, the so-called invitation to God is easy to send God, let them in, easy, and if you want to drive the power of the Chinese Empire out of the Japanese archipelago, it will be a lot of effort!

However, the matter has come to this point, and we can only hope that the next Asian fleet can successfully force the Chinese naval fleet back, after all, the most important thing in cross-sea operations is the navy, once the navy is suppressed, the consequences are unpredictable.

Moyes said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this time it was really unexpected for us, we did not expect that the Chinese would abandon the nearest vicinity of Kyoto Bay and launch an attack on the east coast instead, but we are afraid that the entire eastern part will suffer." However, I don't think the problem in Edo is very big, after all, there are troops of the British Empire there, and they don't dare to go to war against our British Empire, so I hope to protect Edo. Our Asian fleet is also on its way, and in four days at most, in four days at most, the Asian fleet will arrive on the island of Honshu to exert maximum pressure on the Chinese Navy and force them to stop the war! ”

Emperor Meiji was full of bitterness and said astringently: "Mr. Minister, I still hope that you can come forward to hold talks with the generals of the Chinese People's Army and hold off the opponent for the time being, and I will let Kido Takayoshi accompany you, what do you think?" ”

Moyes shook his head and replied: "Your Majesty, you also think too highly of my ability, all means must be based on strength, now that the Asian fleet has not arrived, the generals of the Chinese People's Army will not bird me at all......"

Moyes is right, he also knows that the generals in the Chinese People's Army are more arrogant and tougher than the other, all of them are brought out by that Guo Ye, what kind of emperor is the emperor, what kind of virtue are the generals below, if you want to bargain from others, it is impossible!

Fortunately, now the Asian Fleet is already halfway there, as long as the Asian Fleet arrives, everything is unknown, and only by virtue of the current Huaxia Naval Fleet, it will not be able to compete with the Asian Fleet.

"Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to rely on the strong forces near Kyoto, at all costs, to block the elite of the Chinese Empire, I think their army is divided into two, and the strength will not exceed 20,000 people, but near Kyoto, our total strength, no less than 50,000 people, still has the strength to fight!"
