The Sino-Japanese War broke out
This is a war of aggression against China deliberately launched by Japan

brazenly attacked the Chinese escort warships "Jiyuan" and "Guangyi".
The "Caojiang" ship was abducted and the troop carrier "Gao Sheng" was sunk
More than 870 Qing officers and soldiers on board were martyred
However, the Japanese side reversed black and white and accused the Chinese warship of being the first to attack the Japanese ship
The war lasted more than 8 months
After several battles, the battlefield is constantly changing between sea and land
The armies of the two countries fought in Korea
