Originally, he was supposed to be the commander of the Neon Joint Fleet during the Sino-Japanese War of Jiawu. However, due to the advance of the naval battle, he was not reused during the low period. Instead, Heihachiro Togo, who was not as good as his performance, was used.

Most of the elite neon navy was damaged in the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and it barely recovered after more than ten years of hard work.

But the quality of the navy is not so easy to improve for a century of the navy, ten years of the army, so even if the tonnage of their new-style warships has been exceeded on paper, he still has to try to seduce the navy to fight a decisive battle. The reason.

The navy has achieved his prestige with countless victories, and some experts even think it is comparable to the navy of Geely in terms of naval quality.After all, only in the Hainan naval battle with similar strength, the Geely national navy could barely achieve this.

It has the merits of Dingyuan Class, as well as the manifestation of the navy's tactical Shuyang and technical literacy. Otherwise, even Gaul, known as the Second Navy, would not be able to make peace in the event of a sneak attack.

He did not dare to let him attack the coastal fortresses. Attacking Nicaea was of little value, and the colony of the Will Army just acquired by the Qing Dynasty was the best choice. If the war went well and the navy suffered heavy losses, they would be able to Take down the strategic location of this local principle.

One or two years later, even if the navy recovered its strength, it had already been transformed into a military port with a fortress group.

This time, the commander of the Neon Battle Cruiser Squadron is Tsuboi Kozo. He sent Kawara Kazuichi

Led the Yoshino, Naniwa, and five destroyers of the Japanese style to conduct a tentative attack on Pohnpei Island, and attracted Daqing heavy patrol to the rescue.

It was 9:07 in the morning.

The neon Navy’s old fast cruiser "Yoshino" and "Akitsushu" light cruiser has approached Pohnpei.

Their whereabouts have been monitored by the reconnaissance airships of the Qing Dynasty, but Kawara did not care. He has already explored the island and there are no large-scale airships, and it is too difficult for the airships to take off from the warships, and the number will not too much.

With the pride of the Qing Navy, it will certainly not sit idly by confirming that the main Japanese forces cannot provide timely support. This is their opportunity.

When the army on the island discovered this situation, it immediately acted. On the one hand, they began to evacuate the troops and hide in the bunkers repaired a few days ago. On the other hand, they did a good job of guarding to prevent the Neon Marines from getting on the road. Be prepared to defend against neon navy attacks.On the other hand, it was in contact with the Imperial Navy.

Although they don't have heavy artillery, they can't get the navy, but if Neon wants to land, don't mind letting them know the gap between the two sides.

"Fire!"

"To avenge the imperial navy that died in the Jiawu naval battle, and let these damn Qing people go to hell"

Although it was the naval battle in 1891, the name of the battle of love was named by the victor, so the title of the Jiawu naval battle was accepted by all countries.

Kawara wants to be so-called that the few survivors of this naval battle are naturally very satisfied.Wonderful book bar www.miaoshuba.com

Suddenly the four 152mm Armstrong guns on the fast cruiser Yoshino and the four 120mm secondary guns on the side began to roar. In order to reduce the hull and expand the space, 18 of his 22 46mm guns were removed. It seems Suddenly refreshed a lot.

The almost equipped Qiujinzhou and destroyers equipped with two 105mm main guns and four 76mm secondary guns also began to attack.

The orange-red flares are flickering in the mouth. The first salvo of the Neon Navy is a bit funny. In the face of no fixed target, there is no need for a salvo. Moreover, their artillery is uneven and the tonnage difference is huge. , This volley is simply a waste of time.

"Idiot! Let them shoot free!"

Kawara Yaoichi was also Chiang Kai-shek, and he yelled at the other ships' behavior of forcibly following the rhythm, and quickly sent the order.

Large and small cannonballs flew towards Pohnpei Island with a sonic boom that rubbed against the air.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The shell exploded on the island, and a burst of red light flashed, setting off a cloud of smoke and dust.

Those indigenous people who ignored the warnings of the Qing Dynasty and went their own way finally tried the bitter fruit. Some people were directly killed or offended by artillery shells, and the houses with weak stone and wood structures could not protect their safety. Amidst the loud noise It was turned into a pile of ruins, and few natives living in it had survivors.

"Wow! Wow!"

A large group of natives rushed out and knelt on the ground and kept worshipping, chanting words, as if they were praying, or asking for forgiveness from heaven.

These indigenous people have never experienced such a thing before, even when the army of Will and Spain handed over it was a peaceful transition.This phenomenon is a punishment from the gods for them.

Soon after the ministry, a group of high-level natives who knew how Spain took this place or were more enlightened ran out and shouted loudly and began to evacuate the crowd.

"These damn short winter melons actually dare to attack, do they think they already have capital to challenge the empire?"

Zhang Huaixiao couldn't help cursing in the command post of the underground fortification.

Pohnpei is the capital of the Micronesia Islands with a total area of ​​more than 300 square kilometers. It is naturally a defensive place for the Qing Dynasty. There are 5,000 elites deployed here.

"We've all stayed in Neon. You don't know the craziness of these people! What they like to do most is to gamble with everything they own."

Cai E smiled and comforted.

Since there is no strong fortress to withstand naval guns, the fortifications are all built underground, but because the time is too short, only simple trenches are dug. If the Neon has too many troops to land, it will be a hard fight.

Fortunately, he was relieved that Neon had no plans to land immediately. After all, they were all warships, and no troop carrier was seen...
