Chapter 786 is urgent
If you are too confident, you will pay a heavy price, and the combined fleet is now destroyed in Sasebo, although the United States has purchased a bunch of warships that are counted as scrap iron, but those are not the opponents of the current Liaodong Navy at all, and Li He does not want to use the main force to deal with those warships.

"Order, clear the forts, and after an hour, shoot at Tokyo."
At the critical moment, Li He took over the command and bombed Tokyo, which is not a good errand, perhaps, it is not obvious now, but in a few decades, whether anyone will come to curse is another matter.
He has done so many immoral things, and he doesn't care about such a thing.
Woowoo...... The whistle of the battleship Hongzhang was the signal, and a few minutes later, the huge Hongzhang began to move slowly forward.
Rumble...... The 310-mm guns roared again.
Bang Bang Bang ...... The drizzle continues, and although the storm has passed, it does not mean that the rain has stopped.
"Hurry up and ......."
"This thing, put the carriage in front, the basin, put it in the back." Inside the Interim Prime Minister's Office, where the noise filled the entire town, the current Prime Minister's Office, and even the various departments of the Japanese government here, were scrambling to start moving things and then evacuate to Fukushima.
It's very simple, the Liaodong Army is already shelling Tokyo, that is, now the Liaodong Army is less than fifty kilometers away from itself, fifty kilometers, speed up, and it will be able to reach here in three or four hours.
If you don't want to be surrounded by Liaodong, then the only way is to evacuate immediately.
The weather can't stop everyone from retreating.
What is even more sad is that now, the troops on the outskirts of Tokyo have only one division and one division, and the landing in Liaodong was not the result of a few armies and a few armies, and one division is not enough for people to stuff their teeth, so this division did not go to block the Liaodong Army, but was ordered to help the government evacuate.
Damn, Inoue Xin, who walks in the muddy water with a deep foot and a shallow foot, hates it very much. He hated this hateful weather even more for the Liaodong Army, if it weren't for this damn weather, he would have left a few days ago, where could he still suffer this kind of crime.
Panting and climbing into the carriage. Inoue Shin looked at the eastern sky, and although it was already dusk, he could clearly see that there was blood red on the Tokyo side.
He knew that it wasn't a cloud, but the light of a burning city of Tokyo.
Hey, the foundation of hundreds of years has been ruined like this. Inoue Xin, who shook her head in desperation, closed her eyes and motioned to the coachman to hurry up.
"Put." The main turret of the Hongzhang was ordered by the gun commander. With less than a second of separation, the two guns pulled the tow rope.
Boomed twice, and then from the barrel, two shells were withdrawn, but this kind of shell looks very unique, because in Liaodong, the general shell is not indicated by words, but on this kind of shell, the pattern of fire is actually painted.
Incendiary bombs. This kind of incendiary bomb is the only one in Liaodong, although this kind of weapon is also available in Germany, but that kind has been weakened.
The Hongzhang, which had been pushed by nearly a meter, finally calmed down again.
Li He, who was choking on the smoke of gunpowder and coughing, looked at Tokyo City, which had already dyed half the sky red in the distance, and then asked Yan Fu, who was standing beside him: "How many shells have we fired?" ”
What Li He asked was not ordinary armor-piercing shells, but the number of incendiary bombs, which attacked the fleet, because it was an artillery bombardment of Tokyo, so the ordinary ammunition did not bring much, but the number of incendiary bombs, which accounted for two-thirds.
"It's almost a thousand rounds." Yan Fu didn't know how many shots he had fought, but he deduced from the shelling of each ship that the difference between thousands of rounds was not much.
1,000 rounds, plus the wooden buildings in Tokyo, it is estimated that the fire in Tokyo will not be extinguished if it does not burn for a few days and nights. ”
"Five hundred rounds are being fired, and then the brigade is withdrawn."
Incendiary bombs are inherently troublesome to make, and there is no need to throw shells in this place.
Yan Fu seemed to mean the same thing, but after nodding slightly, he walked out and conveyed the order.
500 rounds, that's not a small number, and the city of Tokyo, which was already on fire, was once again devastated.
Some shells, because of mistakes, hit the woods on the outskirts, and although it rained a lot, it couldn't withstand so many incendiary bombs. A huge flame, carried by a cold wind, ignited in a short time.
The heat wave is coming, and a lot of stagnant water about one meter deep and large has been quickly evaporated by the heat wave. The five kilometers around the city of Tokyo will be starved of grass for the next few years.
No one has calculated the damage of this fire, and it is impossible to calculate the damage, although the palace has been emptied, but it has always been a building that has been built for hundreds of years, and now, because of this fire, it has been completely scrapped.
Squeak, the sound of horse-drawn carriages walking on the road, tens of thousands of people, crowded on this road, the roadside, at any time to see some people killed, these are the department personnel who want to occupy the road.
At the beginning, it was stipulated that the Prime Minister's Office and the War Department would go first, but now, someone has taken the lead, how can this make Inoue Xin stand it, without saying a word, he directly ordered to kill all the rest of the departments that dared to run in front of him.
Running for his life, who can still take care of his former colleagues.
The rout began, and although there was a division behind him to escort him, no one knew better than Inoue what was going on with this division, he was a division that was only formed last month, and he was not even fully equipped.
It would never be believed that this division would be able to withstand the attack of the Liaodong Army. If this is the case, then other well-equipped divisions and regiments will not lose so badly.
Although he fled, but Tokyo, as the capital of the empire, ran away without a fight, and Inoue Xin also knew that there was no way to explain to the people, nor to the emperor, so he had already ordered the transfer of seven divisions to form the defense of Tokyo, and it was bound to have a decisive battle with the Liaodong Army here, as for the troops, he would not care, this matter was his business with Nogi Nishinori, not him as the prime minister.
Now that the order has been given, Nogi Nishinori has also postponed his departure and is forming a Tokyo Defense Command near Tokyo. and mobilize troops to compete with Liaodong.
For so many years, he has always avoided Liaodong, just hoping not to clash with them, but now it seems that if he doesn't have a hard fight with him, he will think that he is very easy to bully, which is simply it. How can this be justified (to be continued.) )
