Chapter 704: A Demanding Airship

In the past few days, he can't eat, he can't sleep, he is thinking about the direction of the Liaodong Army's attack, Inoue Xin didn't dare to be busy to judge, at the beginning, his analysis was that the Liaodong Army was going to attack Tokyo, and then let Ito Hirobumi order the evacuation of Tokyo, who knows, the Liaodong Army killed Tanegashima, and then ran to Sasebo and destroyed the combined fleet.

The islands on the outskirts have almost been occupied by Liaodong.

Knock knock knock...... A sound of footsteps sounded, Inoue Xin raised his head helplessly, and he saw that the person who came in was his newly appointed secretary and adjutant Miichi Inada. This is a twenty-three-year-old girl. Beautiful complexion. It's cute.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Fujitahara, the commander of the defense of Shikoku Island, sent an urgent telegram that the main force of the Liaodong Fleet has been found in the waters of Shikoku Island."

Father...... Hearing this, Inoue took the telegram and looked at it, then walked to the map in a few steps, and began to aim and think.

Shikoku Island, how can it be Shikoku Island. Inoue Xin's heart was already full of confusion and doubts.

Shikoku Island, the Defense General Headquarters, Commander Teng Taharaichi was full of fear in his heart, and just yesterday afternoon, Teng Taharaichi, who was inspecting the position, saw the sea in the distance. There were black spots that appeared again, and he thought it was a school of fish at the time, but at the last look, he saw that it was not a school of fish, but the fleet of Liaodong.

He counted nearly forty warships, including six battleships that looked like mountains. This surprise was not trivial, and at the same time he ordered the armies to enter the positions, he sent a telegram to the Tokyo base camp.

It's been a day, and there has been no telegram from Tokyo, which makes Fujitawara 10,000 annoyed, and now the Liaodong army is gathered, and it is about to attack, at this time, Tokyo actually does not send any news here, which makes it difficult for him to do.

The good thing is that although the Liaodong Fleet has arrived in Shikoku, it has been wandering around the periphery for a day and has not attacked, which is a good relief for me, and I can have time to mobilize troops, enter the position, and enter the battery.

"Report, there is an abnormal movement in the Liaodong Navy." A staff officer walked in and said in a loud voice to Fujitawaraichi, who was standing in front of the map.

Hearing this, Fujitawara grabbed the telescope next to him, turned around and walked out, and after a few clicks, he ran to a place that was easy to observe, and raised the telescope in his hand. He began to look out to sea in the distance.

I only saw that the Liaodong Navy, which was originally swimming in the open sea, has now begun to adjust its battle formation, and the battleships that had been moored in the middle have begun to protrude forward, with You Ge at the front.

What the hell was that, from afar, he saw that on the decks of several battleships, there were actually a few black oval east and west, and that thing actually occupied the entire deck of the battleship.

"What's that?" Fujitawara pointed and asked the staff officer beside him.

I really don't know this, and no one in the surrounding staff has seen this thing, and no one can say it.

"Find out quickly." Fujitawara lowered his head and thought for a moment, he estimated that this was definitely not a good thing, perhaps, this thing was a huge threat to Shikoku Island.

On the bridge of the battleship Hongzhang, Li He, who was wearing a general's uniform, looked at the yellow dragon flag fluttering on the mast motionlessly, and his heart was full of unwillingness.

The wind speed is too high, which is not conducive to the dispatch of the airship at all. The airship is good everywhere, but it is too demanding for the future. The wind speed should be good and the weather should be clear.

The fleet led by himself had already arrived here yesterday.

Originally, yesterday afternoon, he was about to launch an attack on Shikoku Island, however, a sudden change in weather interrupted his plan, and he had to change his battle plan, originally thinking that the weather would be slightly better today. Who knew that today's weather would be even worse than yesterday.

This made Li He very anxious, the army had already set off, if he hadn't eliminated the coastal defense batteries after coming here, then the huge army units would all stay on the sea, and it would be very troublesome to send them or something.

Therefore, this morning, I met with myself to discuss a new battle plan.

According to the new plan, the battle plan was changed, and the original plan of using airships to carry out the bombing of the head was cancelled, and the plan of waiting for the ship's guns to shoot in advance was canceled, and it was replaced by direct fire from the ship's guns.

The order was issued, and the ships that received the order began to deploy and adjust, aiming the maximum firepower of their ships at Shikoku Island.

"Commander, we'll start in half an hour." Yan Fu on the side stepped forward and asked softly.

Nodding slightly, Li He looked at Yan Fu and asked, "Don't use the incendiary bomb for the time being, that is too destructive, I don't want to cause too much damage, and I won't agree until the last resort." ”

Yan Fushen thought there was. At that time, two incendiary bombs actually burned everything on the island, this scene made both of them frightened and thought that such a weapon should not appear in this world, of course, it is okay to appear in Liaodong, but it cannot appear in other countries.

It's just too destructive.

"Don't worry, Commander, this time there are airships to fight together. We've got enough armor-piercing blasters with us, I don't think we're going to use those stuff. ”

I hope so, Li He nodded, raised the telescope in his hand, and opened to observe the batteries around Shikoku Island.

Woowoo...... Woowoowoo...... The huge four twin-mounted main guns began to rotate, and the muzzles of the frightened people also began to rise, aiming the muzzles at the Japanese coastal defense positions in the distance.

With a clang, the 310-mm shell, with the help of the sailors, was stuffed into the chamber of the cannon at once, and then began to wait quietly for the attack order, and the time passed little by little, and half an hour was soon there.

"Commander, when the time comes, Yan Fu, who put down his watch, walked up to Li He and whispered.

When he arrived, Li He, who took a deep breath, took a look at it and nodded: "Let's start." ”

Boom Boom Boom ....... Boom Boom Boom ...... The huge main gun fire of the Hongzhang was the order to attack.

Less than a few seconds after the main guns rang out, the rest of the ships next to the Hongzhang also began to concentrate their firepower and send the shells to Shikoku Island.

Without any need to send alert troops, the combined fleet has already been wiped out in Sasebo, and now, throughout the waters of Japan. Liaodong Navy will be an invincible existence,
