Yue Pengju ordered six giant ships with giant cannons and his own main ship to move to the front of the fleet. The seven warships lined up in a row. After giving the order, each ship began to take aim.
On the shore, Delson, who had a chance to escape, looked at the enemy warships that were not approaching, his eyes full of unwillingness and anger. If he could, he would definitely jump to his feet and curse, or even provoke the opposing warships to enter the range of their artillery. .
Unfortunately, after they fired a few test shots, the warships on the opposite side stopped approaching. He was so angry that his teeth itched, but there was nothing he could do.
Now he and the entire fleet are blocked in this port. It is impossible to get out, and there is no chance for a sneak attack.
Just when he was angry and unwilling to give up, suddenly, seven roars came from the distant battleship. The astonishing sound came from afar. Delson's heart jumped inexplicably, and there was a surge of fear in his eyes.
He had a bad feeling that this was going to be terrible.
I saw seven huge cannonballs hitting their side of the shore fort on the opposite side. The astonishing speed and power made Delson's heart almost rise to his throat.
Bang... As the first cannonball fell onto the shore, the violent explosion made Delson's brows jump. When he saw the cannonball exploding more than ten meters in front of the fort, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But just as he relaxed, he heard six more loud noises. Three of the remaining six shells hit the fort and directly destroyed the fort. Although the remaining three did not hit, they were also in the fort. It exploded from a distance of about ten meters.
This situation made Delson feel a sense of despair. It was not that the range of the opposite cannon was insufficient, but that for some reason, the cannonballs did not hit the target. But the error is only a few dozen meters, but the distance is ten miles.
Such accuracy was enough to shock Delson. Even if the fort is not destroyed now, it only takes a few shellings, and his pride and reliance on the fort will probably be wiped out.
Just as he had this idea, seven more cannonballs were fired. This time, three more hit the fort. Even if the remaining four did not hit the center of the fort, they exploded at the edges of other forts. It was shortened to seven or eight meters.
It's over... Delson knew that he might not have any chance. With his whole body trembling with fear, he quickly gave the order and began to evacuate.
With the fort gone, he could imagine that the warships would march straight in and soon occupy the entire port. With the few troops he had, he would not be able to stop those warships from landing.
It is simply impossible to snipe those people on the shore. A few rounds of artillery support can defeat them.
Delson quickly evacuated Hejiu Port with more than 10,000 of his men and women. The remaining Hebrew people led the Japanese army to resist and buy them time to escape.
Just when Delson left the port, he saw through his telescope that the last few forts had been completely destroyed. The battleships on the opposite side have already moved in. Although he was filled with reluctance, he could only run away.
After Yue Pengju destroyed ten forts, the warships began to approach the port. When they approached five or six miles away, at this optimal shooting distance, they launched a bombardment on the warships in the port.
Regardless of whether there are people on the battleship, they must first ensure that the battleship at the port has no combat effectiveness. Many warships saw this and sailed away from the port, trying to escape from the other side.
Seeing this, Yue Pengju ordered his men to slow down the artillery fire a bit, even causing the aim of the artillery fire to miss. These warships are trying to escape, which is a good opportunity. Eliminating them at the port will clog the port.
It is better to let them give up the port automatically, so that there is no need to find a place to dock the warship. As for the warships that wanted to escape, how could they escape from their own hands.
When he saw those warships leaving the port, Yue Pengju sent dozens of warships to chase them, trying to lure them to the sea before destroying them.
The battle lasted for almost three hours. Although the remaining warships escaped from the port, they still could not escape the pursuit of the Chinese warships. They were bombarded and sunk in the outer sea.
The Chinese warships also took this opportunity to dock on the shore. However, just when the Chinese warships docked on the shore, suddenly, dense Japanese troops and Hebrews poured out from the front.
They rushed towards the docked warship, apparently preparing to seize the warship. For such a situation, Yue Pengju had already prepared. Makbi was placed on the side of the ship, and he fired at the charging Japanese and Hebrew troops. .
The enemies charging ahead were slaughtered like wheat. They could not reach the forty or fifty meters in front of the battleship. No matter how many enemies rush in, they will all be killed directly by Mark Mi's powerful firepower.
At the same time, the soldiers of the People's Army also landed from the battleship and launched a charge against the enemy on the opposite side. The moment the charge horn sounded, only the shouts of killing from the People's Army and the frightened and desperate screams of the Japanese and Hebrew troops were left. Screams.
The battle on the shore lasted for almost an hour, and all the enemies at Hejiu Port were cleared. In addition to the nearly 30,000 enemies that were eliminated, the remaining Japanese and Hebrews, about 10,000 people, escaped. .
Since then, Hejiugang in the Japanese state has been occupied by the Chinese army, and the camp here has also become the camp of the Chinese army.
Yue Pengju stationed the army. This expedition had 200,000 people, and he also brought with him 100,000 civilians. Although they were not combatants, they were trained as combatants.
Yue Pengju was not in a hurry to conquer the next Japanese cities. He followed Yunze's advice and prepared to move forward bit by bit. At the same time, he needed to capture several coal mines. To supplement the power of the battleship.
Yunze drew the topographic map of the Japanese country from the chip in his brain, and where there are coal mines, iron ore and other minerals. Only by occupying these mineral veins can the People's Army develop rapidly in the Japanese country.
Yue Pengju remembered Yunze's words and said not to hurt the people of Japan. After all, they were on an expedition. Harming the people of Japan would only make the entire Japanese country fight against them. If you want to completely occupy the Japanese country, the best way is to Huairou.
The people of the Japanese country were already living in dire straits due to the greed and corruption of their rulers. As long as they could have enough to eat and live a good life, they would never go against them for the sake of those rulers.
Yunze gave Yue Pengju a lot of grain seeds. A variety of grains in the Japanese country could not only solve his own food and clothing problem, but also win the hearts and minds of the Japanese people.
After the civilians and the army brought the entire nearly 100 kilometers around Hejiu Port under their control, Yue Pengju took advantage of the beginning of spring to mobilize the soldiers and civilians of the People's Army, as well as the Japanese people under their rule, to start food planting.
At the beginning, the Japanese people were full of fear and vigilance towards the People's Army, fearing that the People's Army would burn, kill, and loot them.
After all, the previous Japanese army and Hebrew army's attitude towards them was to oppress them, either burning, killing and looting, or exploiting them crazily. It made the people's lives miserable.
After they knew that the People's Army was coming, they thought that the People's Army would be more ferocious than the Japanese Army and the Hebrew Army.
However, the People's Army has strict discipline and does not allow any bullying of civilians. Coupled with the fact that the People's Army takes the lead in working, these Japanese people immediately have another view of the People's Army.
They are ordinary people, but they have no feelings about family and country. As long as they can live a good life, it doesn't matter who the ruler is. They will not be so stupid as to throw away their lives and blood for the sake of their family and country feelings or national morality.
The requirements of ordinary people are very simple, they must have enough food and clothing, otherwise they will be in fear and their lives will be precarious. They are satisfied. Especially those who have been oppressed are more eager to be treated fairly.
In history, China has been successfully invaded by foreign nations several times, but the dynasty finally succeeded in occupying China. Only the last feudal dynasty ruled China. Why did they become the masters of China with a nation of only a few hundred thousand people?
It's not that they are very powerful, but that they do a good job and understand the importance of the people. As for the reason why the other foreign races that successfully invaded China were completely defeated in the end, it was not because the oppression was so great that the people rose up in resistance.
In the history of Yunze's previous life, the famous Jiajing Three Massacres and the Ten Days in Yangzhou killed many Chinese compatriots, but in the end, this nation that occupied China successfully ruled China for more than two hundred years.
If their descendants were not weak, their rule might have been longer, and in the end this nation was integrated into the Chinese family.
Yue Pengju is actually a smart man. He also understands the thoughts of people at the bottom, including himself who once climbed up from the bottom. Of course, he admired Yunze's far-sighted advice even more.
While Yue Pengju was in full swing carrying out spring plowing in Hejiugang, Delson, who fled to Edo, met Williams, the governor of the Hebrew-speaking Japanese country stationed in Edo.
After learning that a large army of unknown origin occupied the Hejiu port and that the opponent had powerful artillery and weapons, Governor Williams was shocked. However, thinking of the power he had finally established in the Japanese country, he decided to send a large army to destroy the occupied Hejiu. Hong Kong’s People’s Army.
Emperor Akihito also immediately sent a hundred thousand troops to cooperate, and in other ports of the Japanese country, he also dispatched a Hebrew army of 30,000 people. A total of 130,000 troops marched towards Hejiu Port.
Yue Pengju knew that the Japanese would not give up, so he also made a countermeasure and deployed a hundred thousand troops around Hejiugang. All roads leading to Hejiu Port will be blocked.
Once the Japanese take any action, he will be able to respond effectively. At the same time, he also sent nearly a hundred warships back to China. In addition to reporting the results of his side to Yunze, Yue Pengju also prepared to ask Huaxia to send people to open up wasteland.
