Red Alert 1895

Chapter 666: Bombarding Etajima (middle)

"Woo-"

Taiwan's Sword-class battleship arrived about several kilometers away from Eta Island, and the Japanese students and teachers from the Eta Island Naval Academy also ran out one after another. Obviously they heard the sirens of the five battleships, and they came out to watch This battleship. And the students and teachers of their Naval Academy pointed at the huge battleship in the distance, as if they were very excited.

They saw the Japanese flag and navy flag on the battleships with binoculars, and they all started waving and cheering, and started shouting loudly. They didn't know what was going on, they still regarded this battleship as their own country's battleship.

"Great, is this the battleship of our Empire of Japan?" "Yes! This is the battleship of our Empire of Japan. Such a huge battleship is really great." "If after I graduate, I can enter It would be great to serve in this battleship!" "Yes! My biggest dream is to be the captain of a battleship. If I can be the captain of a battleship, then my life will not be in vain It is." "Yes! It is a great honor to be the captain of our battleship, and he is a person with an unlimited future!"...

The students of the Etajima Naval Academy in Japan began to shout excitedly. It was the first time they saw five battleships coming together. Even those Japanese naval instructors rarely have the opportunity to see battleships, and they are not familiar with these battleships, so they looked desperately with binoculars, but they couldn't see anything.

"Huh? What's the matter with these battleships? How was this battleship designed? It seems to be different from the current battleships?" A teacher who is more familiar with battleships muttered.

However, Kawara, who was the principal of the Japanese Naval Academy, frowned when he saw the five battleships. Because as a Japanese rear admiral, he naturally knows the current situation in Japan. At present, the Japanese navy has no battleships. He already knows that Japan has suffered a disastrous defeat in the second Dadonggou naval battle, and there are no more battleships. At present, although the top management is concealing the news. The mid- and low-level naval officers and soldiers did not know this period, but he, as a high-level general, already knew it.

And Emperor Meiji also sent him telegrams again and again. I hope he can teach the naval officers and soldiers in the Naval Academy well, and strive to train a group of qualified officers as soon as possible, and then prepare for the future reorganization of the navy. So he knew the news, but now there are actually five battleships flying the Japanese flag here, and then he immediately sent a telegram to inquire. He sent a telegram to ask what was going on, why there were five battleships flying the Japanese flag here, and came all the way.

Kawahara Kazuya is not very clear about what's going on here, so he waits for the reply from his superiors. actually. This is also caused by the luck thinking in Kawara's heart. In his subconscious mind, he still hopes that Japan still has a few battleships. You must know that many people will involuntarily think about things in the direction they want in their hearts, so Kawara has to hope that there are still a few battleships in his country, so he didn't react immediately, so he naturally took the initiative sent a telegram to inquire. But he didn't know, because he wasted time sending a telegram to inquire, which made him miss the best time to lead the school officers and soldiers to retreat in time.

About ten minutes later, the Japanese Navy Command sent back a telegram.

"Principal, the Naval Command once again declares that we really don't have any battleships in Japan. These battleships with the Japanese flag are definitely not our Japanese battleships. This is 100% certain."

Kawahara heard this. Immediately his face turned green, and he began to shout: "Order all the teachers and students in the school to retreat immediately, organize the students and teachers immediately, retreat immediately! These battleships do not belong to our Great Japanese Empire, they are the enemy, they are the battleships of the Chinese people, go!"

However, Kawara Yoichi's order was too late. Taiwan's battleships have begun to prepare for battle.

"Lower the Japanese flag, and then replace it with our yellow tiger flag on a blue background. The artillery positions will immediately start counting the yuan. Prepare to attack. This time we will bomb them with high-explosive bombs, and we will give them a good drink!" Chen said. said.

Generally speaking, if it is a duel between battleships. Generally, armor-piercing bombs are used, because the armor of battleships is very thick, and general high-explosive bombs cannot penetrate the armor. However, if it cannot penetrate armor, it will naturally not be able to hit the enemy. Therefore, generally speaking, the duel between warships uses shells with good armor-piercing effects, which can effectively penetrate the enemy's armor before they can explode. The charge of armor-piercing projectiles is generally not much, and it can only explode and injure the enemy after penetrating the armor. However, high-explosive bombs are different. High-explosive bombs are generally shells used by the navy when bombarding land. They have the characteristics of large charge and high explosive power. And it is mainly the enemy's unprotected infantry as the main killing target. It is the navy's cover for the army or the naval landing force, which can attack the enemy's armed forces in large numbers. But now what they want to do is kill people and demolish houses, so naturally they need to use high-explosive bombs instead of ordinary armor-piercing bombs.

"Huh? Why did the Japanese flags on those battleships come down?" A Japanese student from the Naval Academy immediately asked suspiciously.

Everyone also began to observe, and it was obvious that the Japanese flags on the battleships had fallen, and everyone couldn't understand what was going on. However, soon a yellow tiger flag with a blue background was also raised, which made the Japanese naval students stunned.

"Let's go, this is a battleship of the Chinese people, retreat!" Kawara shouted.

Before those students realized what was going on, Taiwan's battleships had already fired.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

A round of shells began to violently bombard the land of the Etajima Naval Academy, and the Etajima Naval Academy suddenly became a sea of ​​flames, and many of the students were completely blown away.

"Boom!"

There was a loud noise, and before a dozen Japanese naval cadets realized what was going on, they were blown away by high-explosive bombs, and they died without knowing what was going on. Why did their battleships shoot at themselves? . The caliber of the navy's artillery is as high as more than 300 millimeters, and half a football field can be turned into a sea of ​​​​flames with one shot, and almost no grass can grow. With such intense firepower, even if the accuracy of the naval artillery is not high, it is enough to cover the entire naval academy.

"Boom!"

When the cannonball came down, a teaching building was bombed and fell to the ground, and even the teaching and scientific research equipment in the entire teaching building was completely destroyed. The teachers and some teaching staff inside were also killed, and none of them escaped in time.

"Boom!"

There was another loud bang, and a wooden simulation training ship in Japan was completely blown into scum. Under the power of this high-explosive bomb, the wooden training ship could not support at all, and one shot was enough to turn them into scum up.

"The Chinese people are coming, run!"

At this time, the last more than 120 students of the Japanese Naval Academy who were not killed in the first round of bombing began to run around with their heads in their hands. They have never experienced this kind of thing at all. They have thought about their future ending, and even thought that they might die on the battlefield. But they never thought that this day would come so soon, and they were blown to death by the enemy before they could graduate or serve on the ship. It is not surprising to die in battle, but to die in battle without graduating from a military academy is really aggrieved.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

The artillery of Taiwan's sword-class battleship bombarded the Japanese Navy's Etajima Naval Academy without the same amount of money. Almost every round of huge shells could take away at least several Japanese students or teachers. Or you can attack those Japanese teaching equipment, teaching facilities such as teaching buildings, a large number of teaching facilities and various research data have also been reduced to fireworks.

"Boom!"

A high-explosive bomb hit a house, and this made Kawara, who just ran out of his office, almost go crazy~lightnovelpub.net~ The archives building, the archives building was destroyed? "

He Yuan almost went crazy, this archive building can be said to be one of the most precious treasures. Maybe in the officialdom, if you are in charge of archives, you may be assigned, but for the inheritance of a school, the archives department is a department that cannot be ignored. Especially in a military academy, there are a large number of senior brothers and sisters, as well as various things left by the alumni, as well as various teachers, students' research on economics, from tactics, strategy, war technology, and even the teaching experience of various seniors. , student-recorded notes, and more. Don't look at these things that look like paper, which doesn't seem to be useful. But it is definitely one of the most precious treasures of a school, and one of the cores that a school can survive.

Even a military academy is still a school! In particular, the experience of those seniors left behind by everyone is enough to make the younger students avoid many detours and develop faster. This is one of the most important assets of a country's navy. But now it was shot down by a Taiwanese battleship, and those notes and archives turned into a pile of flames, which was enough to make Kawahara almost go crazy. If you want to re-establish these and re-explore these experiences, it will take decades to complete! After this cannonball, the loss is definitely the essence of the Japanese navy for decades, a wealth that cannot be measured by currency. (To be continued.)
