Volume Four, Vertical and Horizontal Four Seas Volume, Chapter 33, The Great Victory at Sandiaoling
.
Diaoling is the highest mountain in Taipei and has a very dangerous strategic position. When Bai Siwen led his troops to Sandiaoling, he was shocked to find that the defenders on Sandiaoling were missing. There were only some remaining ashes in the camp where the original garrison was garrison, which proved that some people had been here for a while.
Bai Siwen hesitated for a long time and stayed at Sandialing to set up defenses, waiting for reinforcements from the Black Flag Army.
After the Japanese army landed in Odai, they discovered the shortcomings of Odai. The road from Odai to Keelung was full of mountains and mountains, with steep mountains. There were only a small path to access, which was rugged and difficult to travel. Not to mention large cars, it was difficult for even people to pass. On a road, as long as there was a problem with one car, the entire team would have to stop.
.... A Japanese army was walking on the path with an old horse carrying heavy guns. Next to it was a bottomless cliff and a strange mountain on one side. Suddenly, the Japanese army slipped and the man fell down immediately. By the way, he also pulled the horse down. Each person and the horse fell into the mountain stream, falling to pieces.
.... A group of Japanese soldiers shouted horns and tried their best to push a bronze cannon out of the mud, but the bronze cannon (more than 1 ton) was already trapped in the mud, and the Japanese soldiers tried their best to push the bronze cannon out. This was a non-commissioned person who looked like a non-commissioned officer and said a few words. Some people came to take apart the cannons and carried them by the local soldiers on their shoulders.
.... A soldier struggled to fight against a part of the artillery, but for the short Japanese, these parts were too heavy. The soldier was shaking and finally fell to the ground with his strength.
These were unexpected places that Meiji, who was thousands of miles away, were intoxicated by his own dreams.
Nogi Nishinobu was furious: "Bastard. Wouldn't you ask for help from locals? Let the imperial soldiers waste their precious physical strength on this, which is a crime. It is absolutely not allowed."
Soon, under the threat of bayonets and whip, some Taiwanese were forced to be laborers. However, these people did not cooperate with the Japanese. Most of them turned left and right, and turned home with the things they carried: "A Xiang, today there was a fool who gave me 50 kilograms of rice."
Since there is a dangerous place like Aodie, it is understandable that the Japanese army entered five kilometers three days ago. According to the original expectation, the Japanese army had already captured Keelung and started to cook in Keelung.
After the Japanese army arrived at Dingshuangxi, they had to stop moving forward. Because they did not bring enough food (it only took 7 days of food), the Japanese army was about to run out of food. Unexpectedly, when they encountered such a thing, Dashanyan was helpless. They could only urge the navy to transport the food immediately. After calculation, the navy told Dashanyan that it would take three days to arrive at the earliest. Dashanyan had to order all the soldiers to reduce the food rations in half, and the soldiers who were not strong enough could advance faster than snails. Dashan was so anxious that he raised a string of cannons.
Three days passed, but the grain transport ship still did not come, and Dashanyan's troops ran out of food. What exactly happened?
On the calm sea, three huge battleships are listed in the center. Outside are four heavy cruisers and four medium cruisers.
The new battleship formation includes three Governor-class battleships and 8 Governor-class heavy cruisers, representing the essence of the Northern Fleet.
Take a look at these steel monsters equipment, in this era, we are qualified to be proud of its strength.
Governor-level 60mm cannon, 7 double-mounted cannons. The speed is 16.5 and the 305mm reinforced steel armor is unified.
Governor-class/..mm rapid-fire cannon. The speed is 21.5180mm enhanced. The country's cruisers are not inferior.
The prefectural-class 2-meter rapid-fire gun with a speed of 21.5120 mm reinforced steel armor. These were transformed by the Krupp-Jinzhou Branch Shipyard in accordance with the requirements of the naval areas.
These eleven ships spread out like a garland and rushed straight to the south, where there is a rich and beautiful place...
After the commander of the Japanese Transport Fleet, Eio Namoto, led thirteen grain transport ships, five equipment ships and two escort ships to Ryukyu Island to replenish Tamsui, he encountered the fleet.
In the face of absolute force, any defense is futile. Raben Rongan restrained his subordinates and communicated with the other party by placing flags. In fact, it is not necessary to think about it. He was facing the navy. Even the British had eaten turtles in front of this fleet, and his own country's fleet was washed away and only underwear was left.
"The boat is waiting for inspection, we are the Northeast Customs Fleet!" The terrifying fleet opposite him blew the flag.
Raben Ei Nan replied, "We are not sailing on the seas of your country, why should we undergo inspection?"
The fleet opposite had already prepared the answer, "Where our warships go, they are all our territory."
Raben Rongan was helpless and still struggled: "We are not ready to sell these things to your country, so why should we check it?"
After a while, the flag slogan on the opposite side came over, "Sorry, we are from the Weapons of Mass Destruction Inspection Team. I heard that there are weapons of mass destruction on your ship, so I'll check it out."
Rakuen Rongon suddenly sweated, changed his original gentle appearance, and gave a tough answer
"Then, start the war!"
The escort ship "Yoshino" "Yoshimi" raised the battle flag and lowered the muzzle and pointed it at the northern fleet opposite.
This action immediately angered the Northern Fleet. Fleet Commander Tan Fenglin ordered, "The entire fleet's artillery test fire."
The huge water column rose in front of the Japanese warships. This clear meaning of fighting made Eion Raben suddenly soften. "I immediately whisper the flag and say that my ship is willing to undergo inspection."
These Japanese transport ships were taken to Lushun and temporarily lost their personal freedom. A large number of people boarded the fleet for inspection.
Soon, the inspection results were handed over to Zhao Gang.
"Yeah, not bad, not bad." Zhao Gang turned another page, his mouth couldn't close.
Turning to the last page, Zhao Gang's eyes became solemn
"Are you sure about this thing?"
"It is not completely certain, but the toxicity is very severe. The pharmacist responsible for the analysis has died, and the cause of death is qi."
"Then it happens, find some Japanese and try it."
Zhao Gang's words determined the tragic fate of these Japanese people. After the bomb landed, clusters of yellow-green smoke rose up and quickly spread around. The Japanese people close to the poisonous gas bomb fell down one after another, dizzy, breathing tense, and then bleeding from the corners of the mouth and twitched limbs. Most of the people who died still maintained their posture before their death.
