When Obokuri was urgently deploying defenses in the Kyoto area, the Chinese People's Army quietly slaughtered the east coast of Japan's Kyushu Island, and the unlucky Meiji Emperor did not expect Gao Qi and Ding Ruchang to come back like this!

Shizuoka, one of the main gateways to the eastern part of Honshu Island, is the gateway between Edo and Osaka by Tokyo Bay in the north and Inu Bay in the south. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, now that Emperor Meiji is eliminating the shogunate, the shogunate in various places has just been eliminated, the rule in each region has not yet been fully established, and the military defense is extremely weak.

Shizuoka is quite good, at least there are four infantry battalions here, one artillery battalion is defending, originally there were seven infantry battalions here, and the remaining three infantry battalions were all drawn and rushed to the Kyoto area to help defend Kyoto.

On the north side of Shizuoka is a battery with 30 artillery pieces deployed, but unfortunately, these guns are also earthen guns deployed decades ago, and they cannot be compared with the naval guns developed in the West today.

The news that the Chinese Empire was preparing to launch an attack had reached Shizuoka, and the Japanese defense was quite tight, with six or seven battalions, all of which had been pulled up to the coastal area of Shizuoka, ready to defend to prevent the invasion of the Chinese army.

At four or five o'clock in the morning, the east of Japan had just faintly appeared white, and the strength of the two divisions of the Huaxia Fleet had already arrived on Suruga Bay in Shizuoka.

On the lighthouse of the Japanese battery, two Japanese soldiers were patrolling back and forth, and suddenly noticed a large fleet of ships in the distance!

The eyes of the Japanese army widened, yes, it was a battleship! Definitely a battleship!

"Doodoo ......"

A sharp whistle tore through the quiet night sky, waking up Matsushita Jiro, the general in charge of Shizuoka's defense!

Alert! Enemy attack!

Matsushita Jiro came to his senses in an instant and jumped up!

"Someone, gather the army immediately, attack the enemy, and prepare for the battle!"

Matsushita Jiro rushed out of his room and let out a terrible roar, I didn't expect that ah, the Chinese would actually attack Shizuoka who was defending themselves, specially, whether it is Kyoto or Edo, it is more important than their own Shizuoka, do not look for trouble there, but run to Shizuoka to find their own trouble!

Matsushiro really wanted to cry without tears, he couldn't help but be afraid, the Chinese army is too powerful, where can he resist it?

Just when the Japanese troops woke up and prepared for battle, the Chinese naval fleet was gradually approaching the bay of Shizuoka!

Four iron cruisers and six gunboats launched a fierce attack on the fort in Shizuoka, and one shell after another flew towards the fort with a huge whistling sound, and landed on the fort one after another, blasting the fort into flames, and the smoke was filled, and the sky, which had just been misty, suddenly returned to darkness!

Ten warships, with almost a hundred guns, in just a quarter of an hour, thousands of shells fell on the batteries!

The Japanese army, who had just woken up from their sleep, had not yet had time to wake up and prepare for battle, and the violent explosion had already stunned the Japanese army, completely stunned, there were explosions everywhere, and the entire battery seemed to collapse!

"Yaga, Yaga!"

Matsushita Jiro let out an angry roar and commanded the Japanese artillery to start firing back, but unfortunately, the artillery on the turret was an old cannon from decades ago, in disrepair, and some of the shells in it had even become stink bombs! Where can Japan in this era be compared to Japan thirty years later, this is the weakest age in Japan!

Boom Boom Boom ......

The Japanese artillery began to fire back, but the backward artillery, the soldiers who had been out of the battle formation for a long time, were like paper paste in front of the Chinese naval fleet, and could not threaten the safety of the battleship at all, fortunately, the Japanese artillery battalion artillery was okay, an artillery battalion, sixteen guns, began to assist the battery in defense, but their artillery was also an old artillery eliminated from the British army, and its power was limited.

Under the ferocious attack of the naval fleet, the Japanese army was defeated and retreated, and it was not the opponent of the Chinese naval fleet at all!

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The shelling of the Huaxia Navy lasted for an hour, and 2,000 shells poured on the fort and the surrounding positions, and just when the Japanese army could no longer support it, four or five shells fell directly on a bulge of the fort.

By mistake, this is where the ammunition depot of the fort is located, and there is a stone cover on it, but the stones are all stones from more than ten years ago, and the ammunition depot is far from being as strong as it was back then.

The artillery of the Hau Xia naval fleet smashed the ammunition depot straight through a huge hole, and then exploded in the ammunition depot.

It was so unlucky, the shells exploded, completely detonating the ammunition depot of the battery, although there were not many shells, there were hundreds of shells and nearly a hundred catties of gunpowder, a loud noise, deafening!

Many Japanese soldiers were blown out, and even the Japanese soldiers who were relatively far away were shocked to the point that their eardrums were bleeding and they were completely deaf!

"No!"

Matsushita Jiro let out a desperate howl, it was too unlucky, he couldn't withstand the opponent's attack in the first place, and now the powder magazine has also been bombed, so he can't withstand the opponent's attack even more!

On the entire battery, there are now less than ten artillery pieces that can persist in combat, as for the artillery battalion, it is not as good as the battery, at least the artillery on the battery still has some cover, the artillery of the artillery battalion is completely exposed, under the fierce blow of the naval guns, there are heavy casualties, and the Japanese army is beaten in a mess, miserable!

In two hours, in just two hours, the shore defense forces of Shizuoka Suruga Bay were completely destroyed by the Huaxia Navy fleet, and it was simply impossible to stop the attack of the Huaxia Navy!

The Japanese army, having lost artillery fire, had to retreat sharply to the rear, leaving the entire beach to the Chinese People's Army!

In the distance, Gao Qi and Ding Ruchang saw clearly that the Japanese army was defeated and retreated, the whole line was defeated, and the entire beach and fort were all abandoned!

"Haha, you're done!"

Gao Qi laughed and said: "Order, order the Second Division and the 15th Brigade to immediately launch a beach-grabbing landing, seize the advantageous terrain, and the battleships will advance to cover the landing operation of the army, this time it is our turn to Dafali City!" ”

Gao Qi gave an order, the second division and the 15th brigade behind began a frantic landing, without the threat of the Japanese army, the people's army of more than 20,000 people began a full-scale landing within a length of three kilometers, from early morning to dusk, the entire second division and the 15th brigade all landed in Shizuoka.

At this time, Ding Ruchang was protecting the Third Division and driving quickly to the north, taking Shizuoka, and the next target was Yokosuka! (To be continued.) )
