After the fleet entered the port, Chen Xiaojiang immediately contacted the Marine Corps sent to Wenzhou. At this time, the Marine Corps Brigade that arrived in Wenzhou Prefecture was stationed on the Hengyang River south of Pingyang County to prevent the Japanese army from entering Zhejiang Province. After learning that the fleet had arrived, he immediately dispatched a battalion and rushed to the port to garrison.

The fleet's defense in the port was very poor. The Beiyang Navy in the Sino-Japanese War and the Russian Pacific Fleet in the Russo-Japanese War were all trapped in the port and were wiped out. Although the officials and troops of Wenzhou Prefecture had announced their submission to the East China Government, they were just a newcomer and could not fully believe it. Chen Xiaojiang naturally could not place the safety of the fleet on them, so he could only be at ease by transferring his own army.

After the Marine Corps arrived, under the coordination of Cheng Biguang, they took over the defense of the port. Chen Xiaojiang ordered a fleet of armored cruisers, the First Cruiser Detachment, and the First Destroyer Detachment to cruise to the Taiwan Strait and cut off the maritime route between Taiwan and Fujian.

At this time, the Japanese army landed in Fujian, which had three regiments, and the troops were enough. After all, Japan just wanted to intimidate Zhou Fu and did not intend to start a war. Therefore, the three regiments landed, only carried a small amount of supplies with the army, and the ammunition was basically only 1 or 2 bases, and did not transport heavy weapons. However, after the East China government announced that it would send troops to interfere in Zhejiang, Japan became nervous. Although it was unwilling to fight with the People's Army, it had to be guarded against the People's Army's attack. Now the Japanese army's ammunition and drug supplies can only support one war at most. Under such conditions, fighting with the People's Army was obviously not enough. So the Japanese army hurriedly recruited materials from Taiwan and transported them to Fujian, and at the same time prepared to send two more support troops to Fujian.

At this moment, the People's Army's fleet sailed into the Taiwan Strait and cut off the maritime route between Taiwan and Fujian. Taiwan's weapons, materials, and military sources could not be transported to Fujian.

Taiwan Governor Sakuma Zuo Mata's Army General was anxious because he was from the army and naturally cared about the Japanese army that had landed in Fujian. Now the Japanese army that had landed in Fujian became an isolated army and could not resist the attack of the People's Army. It is necessary to open the sea line from Taiwan to Fujian as soon as possible and continue to transport support materials to the Japanese army that had landed in Fujian.

After retreating from the Wenzhou waters, Takano Izuru's fleet returned to Taiwan's Keelung Port to repair and reported the situation to the country, waiting for domestic orders, and then taking the next action. So Sakuma Zuomata asked Takano Izuru to lead the fleet to attack, open up the shipping line from Taiwan to Fujian, or escort the transportation fleet.

But Takama Izuru refused Sakuma's request for the request of the Navy Command on the grounds that Sakuma's rank was much higher than Takama Izuru, but both sides did not belong to the same system. Takama Izuru was a navy. Therefore, no matter how high the Sakuma Izuru's rank was, he could not order Takama Izuru, and could only negotiate. Takama Izuru brought the Navy Command out to refute, and Sakuma Izuru had no choice but to do so.

However, Sakuma Zuo Matthew could not easily be sent. He forced Takano Izuru to generate electricity to Japan on the spot and asked the Navy Command for instructions. At the same time, he also generated electricity to the Japanese Army General Staff at home, asking the Army General Staff to coordinate. Bi Jing could not ignore the Japanese army that had landed in.

In fact, when the fleet is performing tasks outside, it can decide on many things on its own without asking for instructions at home. Therefore, Izukuo Takano doesn't have to ask for instructions from the Navy Command, or command the fleet to attack or escort the transport fleet. However, Izukuo Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano Takano now has the conflict between the Japanese Navy and the Army. This operation is also a coordination between the navy and the army, and Izukuo Takano's overall view is still there.

The main reason why Takano Izuru refused to attack was actually that the strength of the Japanese fleet was not an opponent to cut off the maritime fleet between Taiwan and Fujian, even if this fleet only dispatched half of the warships of the People's Army fleet stationed in Wenzhou Port.

After learning that the People's Army fleet had cut off the maritime route between Taiwan and Fujian, Iroku Takano expected that Sakuma Zuo Matthew would ask him to lead the fleet to attack, open up the maritime transportation line, or escort the transportation transportation fleet. Therefore, Iroku Takano also compared the strength of the fleets of both sides.

The sea route fleet that cuts off Taiwan and Fujian is composed of four Jinan-class armored cruisers and four Qingzhou-class cruisers. Only the Panshou is stronger than the other side's warships. The Rijin is roughly the same as the Jinan-class. The remaining six warships, not to mention the Jinan-class, are even the Qingzhou-class, and the other side has 4 destroyers. Therefore, the Japanese fleet is not the opponent of this fleet at all. Once it attacks, it will be severely damaged at the least, and the worst is that it will be wiped out.

Sure enough, on the next day, the Japanese Navy Command called and asked Takano Izuru to guard the port strictly and not attack. So Takano Izuru also had a sufficiently legitimate reason to refuse Sakuma Zuo Matthew. Sakuma Zuo Matthew did not come again to ask the fleet to attack.

It turned out that Japan was also in great tension. While the People's Army was stationed in Zhejiang, it also organized a fleet in Qingdao's main ship, composed of the First Battleship Detachment, the Second Battleship Detachment, as well as four cruiser detachments, and four destroyer detachments, sailing towards the Japanese waters.

Although the East China government did not want to go to full war with Japan at this time, it must not follow the pace of Japan. If Japan wants to be crazy, the East China government must be even more crazy, take the initiative to escalate the war and directly push the threat of war to Japan. Don’t think that Japan’s local area can be spared.

Sure enough, after the People's Army fleet arrived in the Japanese waters, they divided into two teams, one in the Nagasaki waters and the other in the Tokyo waters, which cruised and demonstrated in the waters of Tokyo. This shocked Japan, because they didn't know what the real purpose of the East China Government was, and whether they really wanted to land in Japan and invade Japan's mainland. During the Far East War, the East China Government invaded Japan's mainland, causing huge losses to Japan.

However, after being shocked, the whole country of Japan also took action immediately. The decisive battle at sea will definitely not be able to be defeated. Bi Jing now only has two battleships that can be taken, and they cannot be defeated at all. The Navy Command's attitude is also very clear. If the cabinet and the army must require the navy to fight, the military Command will order the only two battleships to attack and be loyal to the country. However, if these two battleships are left in the port, they can still be used as two mobile artillery batteries to increase defense. After the cabinet and the army was silent for a while, they also agreed with the Navy's suggestion to leave these two battleships in the port and use as mobile artillery batteries.

At the same time, it was ordered to strengthen the coastal defenses in various places to prevent the People's Army from landing, but it also asked the coastal defenses in various places not to fire and provoke easily, so as not to anger the People's Army fleet. What if the People's Army fleet did not intend to attack the Japanese mainland, wouldn't this fire attract the People's Army fleet?

In addition, the Japanese Army also mobilized urgently to deploy defenses in various places. Once the People's Army landed, it would fight the People's Army on its own. Because it was around Tokyo, it would have to deploy defenses closely. Once the People's Army attacked, it would have to defend Tokyo to the death.

Of course, some people suggested that Britain, France, the United States and other countries should be invited to mediate, but the cabinet refused. Because Japan supported Pu Jun to become emperor in Fujian, he had seriously offended Britain, France, the United States and other countries. At this time, he invited Britain, France, the United States and other countries to mediate. Even if it was not to humiliate himself, he had to make huge concessions. Among all countries, only Russia has always expressed its support for Japan, but this kind of support is not favorable. In fact, Russia has not taken any substantial actions and has not helped Japan much.

At this time, the Japanese army landing in Fujian naturally didn't care. Therefore, the military command ordered Takano Ikuojiu to strictly guard the port and not attack, and it also received the approval of the Army General Staff. Therefore, Sakuma Zuo Matthew naturally did not ask Takano Ikuojiu's fleet to attack, but only generated electricity to the Japanese army landing in Fujian, telling them that for a considerable period of time, they would not receive support from Taiwan and could only do so. At the same time, they also advised the Japanese army landing in the landing to try not to fight with the troops of the East China Government.

At this time, the Japanese army landed in Fujian was also facing tremendous pressure, because another army division arrived in Wenzhou Prefecture, and the People's Army's strength expanded to one division and one brigade, and its strength was far greater than the three Japanese corps. And more importantly, among the People's Army's army divisions, there was a field artillery regiment with a total of 27 75mm field artillery pieces, which was the biggest threat to the Japanese army. The Japanese army's corps did not have artillery troops, and the artillery troops supported from Taiwan could not land. Since the firearms war, the troops with artillery have an absolute advantage over the troops without artillery. Therefore, after the army division arrived, the People's Army immediately pushed southward, getting closer and closer to the Japanese position. Seeing a war in front of us.

Just then, the Japanese army landed in Fujian received a telegram from Sakuma Zuo Matthew, knowing that reinforcements were hopeless and could only rely on existing troops and weapons. Fortunately, Sakuma Zuo Matthew suggested that they should not fight with the troops of the East China Government as much as possible, so the Japanese army immediately retreated, retreated from the junction of Zhejiang and Fujian to the territory of Fujian Province, and chose another place to arrange positions.

However, the People's Army only advanced to the junction of Zhejiang and Fujian, and stopped laying out positions and no longer moving forward. Therefore, both sides were temporarily able to stay in peace.
