【1124 Attack on Sasebo Port】

"How is it? Do you have any different opinions?" President Meng smiled, "I have asked Li Hongzhang to announce that your brother will occupy the entire Kyushu Island in the name of the Kingdom of Hawaii! This is our diplomatic strategy. With the name of the Kingdom of Hawaii, Takashi Saigo's rebellious mentality will not be too strong."

Princess Katrina Kaif nodded, "Since the emperor has thought about it, I won't say anything. I still think that the winning rate is too unpredictable, and our chances of winning are too low. This is not a question of whether to bet or not. The British and French will definitely interfere. If they send troops to interfere, our winning rate will be even lower. Even if the British and French do not send troops directly to intervene, once we fall into the entire Japanese war, and there is a continuous stream of Japanese samurai and Japanese citizens who want to fight to the Chinese army, I don't know when this battle will end."

The cute president smiled and said, "What you mentioned is that we cannot get Kyushu Island for a long time. I have thought that as long as the entire Kyushu Island can be completely transformed into a region of China within two months before winter comes, then these problems will no longer exist. By the beginning of next spring, Kyushu Island will become our impregnable sea fortress. What kind of huge ironclad ship can have such power?"

Princess Katrina Kaifu smiled slightly, knowing that she could not persuade Emperor Hua, so she could only remain silent. All she could do was to do her best to do her logistics support.

An hour later, Xuan Jianzhang received a telegram from Princess Katrina Kaif and immediately convened the highest military meeting in Nagasaki Castle.

Emperor Hua returned to North Korea, and Xuan Jianzhang was the highest military commander here!

Xuan Jianzhang's orders from the executive president are never discounted, or in other words, the military and civilians of the entire China will not discount any orders from the executive director!

The meeting was just a process of issuing military orders. Before that, President Meng had already secretly drafted all the combat orders of the Chinese Army General Staff stationed in Seoul.

One regiment guards Nagasaki Castle, two regiments, plus a newly formed cavalry company of divisions, heading to Sasebo Castle.

The cute CEO's plan can be regarded as a sneak attack, nor can it be regarded as a sneak attack, because before this, the Chinese had already taken down the railway line from Nagasaki Castle to Xiaguan Castle.

For a country, the railway line is the lifeline!

It’s okay to have no railway, but with railway, you must never be controlled by your opponent.

Losing the railway line means losing the ability to mobilize the army quickly.

It was only more than 100 miles from Nagasaki Castle to Sasebo Castle. After capturing the railway line from Nagasaki Castle to Shigasaki Castle, it was faster to transport troops.

In fact, the Japanese have been preventing the Chinese army from attacking Sasebo Castle and Sasebo Port, and arranged tens of thousands of garrisons in Sasebo Castle.

Even when the Southwest War is at its most severe stage, Prince Shigen of Asugawa Miya and Hirofumi Ito never thought of using Sasebo Castle's army, that's how it came about.

According to the president's order, Xuan Jianzhang first divided a battalion and held Saga as a logistics supply base for attacking Sasebo Castle.

In ancient times, Saga Prefecture and Nagasaki Prefecture were collectively called "Himaeki Kingdom", and the "Yoshinonori ruins" of the Yayoi era remained in Saga Prefecture.

The ancient city of Jishan is an important national defense area in ancient Japan.

From 476 AD to 1453 AD (Medieval), the Matsuura Party fought with the Yuan army along the coast of Xuanjie Beach.

Nago Ancient Castle in Genkaicho is the base and station for Toyotomi Hideyoshi to send troops to North Korea.

In the late modern era, the Kumjima family, located in the Saga Plain, continued to become stronger. The Kumjima family absorbed Western technology from Nagasaki and became the new force of the Meiji Restoration.

Oki Kioren, Okuma Shigenobu and Edo Shinhei all made contributions.

Saga Prefecture is located in the northwest of Kyushu, Japan. It has the Chinjie Beach to the north and the Akihiro to the south. It is quite close to the Korean Peninsula. The straight-line distance from Saga to Tokyo and Osaka is about 9ookm and 5ookm respectively, and the straight-line distance to the Korean Peninsula is about 2ookm.

The prefecture consists of four parts, namely the Kazuki Mountains in the north, the Saga Plain in the south, the Higashimatsuura Peninsula in the northwest, and Tarago in the southwest.

The Saga Plain is located in the western half of the Kazui Plain, and one-third of it is drainage and land for Akira. Due to the low rainfall and high irrigation facilities, Saga Prefecture has a Pacific coastal climate and is relatively warm.

The pottery fired in the prefecture is excellent works of art and is also exported to foreign countries. It is the main industry of the prefecture, most famous of which are pottery called Kawatsuyaki, Aritayaki and Imariyaki.

The Saga Plain and the Kumamoto Plain are both the main rice production areas in the Kyushu region, ranking first in Japan in terms of output per unit area. In addition to rice, Saga's specialties include Suribaya tea, oranges, and Akihiro's seaweed.

After controlling Saga, he could not only control the escape of the Japanese army in Sasebo Castle, but also control the temporary reinforcements of the Japanese army, but also block the railway line from Nagasaki Castle to Shigakuen Castle. With one stone, the military command ability of the cute president is becoming more and more mature.

However, before this, everyone knew that it would be difficult to attack Sasebo Castle built on the hill, but they did not expect it to be so difficult to fight.

The five battalions of the Chinese army arrived outside Sasebo City at noon the next day. The defenders of Sasebo City were shocked. Unexpectedly, the Chinese army suddenly arrived. Fortunately, they were prepared. After the emergency warning, all the soldiers came to the top of the city, and more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers were treated solemnly, including shore artillery and city defense artillery.

It took the Chinese army a tight hour to seize 19 forts outside Sasebo City, seized the entire Sasebo Port, and then attacked Sasebo Castle.

It is not possible to just take down the port but not take down Sasebo Castle. Do you need to come out at the port?

This place occupies a natural dangerous terrain.

The Japanese soldiers on Sasebo Castle were fully armed and treated solemnly, with armor and rifles, which also reflected the characteristics of the Japanese army during the transition period.

Xuan Jianzhang arranged two battalions in front, using three battalions and cavalry brigade as reserves.

The two battalions relied on the Chinese army's rifle advantage and the enemy's attack.

When siegeing the city, the advantages of the Chinese army's rifles were actually limited. In addition, without the cooperation of artillery, the turrets in the area captured could not hit the farthest distance to Sasebo Castle. Moreover, many artillery was fixed and could not be turned, so it was useless.

The military order of the cute president requires that Sasebo City must be taken down within two days. It is now a day since then. For the Chinese army, the task is very arduous because the president's order must be completed on time.

For offense, cute presidents rarely give dead orders like this.

The city of Sasebo is easy to defend but difficult to attack, mainly because it is built on a mountain, and there is only one mountain road leading to the city gate, which is very strange and it is not easy for them to come up with it, let alone the Chinese army attacked.

The battle continued until evening, and the Chinese army never approached the city gate.

Xuan Jianzhang was anxiously waiting for the arrival of the night. The attack at night was the strength of the Chinese army.

The Chinese army sent one team after another to prepare the explosive pack to blow up the city gate.

Fortunately, Sasebo City has no moat, which is why the cute CEO made an order to win it within two days. On the one hand, because there is no moat, the cute CEO believed that it was just a crowded person, and with the tenacious fighting willpower of the Chinese army, it could also be won!

On the other hand, he was afraid of the Japanese's reinforcements. President Meng knew that this was a mountain city. If a Japanese came to reinforce, the Japanese defenders on the mountain were taking advantage of the situation to charge, and the Chinese army would encounter great trouble.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, after more than 2,000 soldiers were killed and injured, the Chinese army finally broke through the gate of Sasebo Castle.

Xuan Jianzhang will start to replace the two battalions that he has been attacking, and use the three battalions to attack Sasebo City in one fell swoop.

"Hold, hold on!" The Japanese general defending the castle waving his samurai sword and kept shouting at the top of his lungs.

"The first battalion rushed in first, the second battalion defended the city wall, and the third battalion supported the city side." Xuan Jianzhang personally led the team into the city and issued an order.

Several communicators received the order and hurried to pass the order.

Drip.
