The First Warlord of the Republic of China

.

spn bang bang bang...

Several cannonballs were fired from the sky again, and after the explosion, the jellyfish-like fire rain fell from the sky again, and the cannonballs behind seemed to be incessant.

"Ah~!"

"what……"

On the Japanese positions, there were endless screams. No one knew what the rain of fire was falling from the sky, but the Japanese soldiers who felt it personally found that as long as a little bit of sparks stuck to their bodies, it would go all the way into their bones. [

That's white phosphorus!

Terrible white phosphorus.

In the National Defense Forces, it is also called a special type, which belongs to one of the special types.

White phosphorus has a natural effect when it comes into contact with the air. If this kind of thing gets on the body, it is completely inextinguishable, and it will only burn all the way into the bone.

The Chijiagou artillery position of the National Defense Army fired thousands of white phosphorus at the Japanese positions, causing a sea of ​​flames on the Japanese positions.

Under the baptism of fire and rain, the morale of the Japanese army has completely collapsed.

I saw that many Japanese soldiers were scorched black by the white phosphorus, and their whole bodies were curled up. The posture before death was weird, and their whole bodies were curled up like shrimps.

When the shelling stopped, the Second Division of the Wehrmacht, under the cover of tanks, launched an attack on the Japanese positions.

It's just that this attack did not encounter any resistance. Only some Japanese soldiers upheld the spirit of bushido, shouted onboard and jumped out of the trench with a determined face, and was then beaten into a sieve by the machine guns on the tank.

The entire Japanese position could not form effective resistance.

When the soldiers of the first division saw the death of those Japanese soldiers, many soldiers vomited out on the spot. The death was so horrible that it was almost human.

Li Shoujing followed behind on the battlefield, and was also taken aback when he saw the effect of white phosphorus, "I never thought that this kind of special power would be so terrifying."

"I heard that the commander-in-chief proposed this special feature, and the commander-in-chief also participated in the research and development process." Said the chief of staff of the first division.

"Hehe! Most of the weapons in the hands of our National Defense Forces are developed by the commander in chief." Li Shoujing smiled happily, "It's bad luck for Japan to meet the commander in chief."

"Report to the division commander, our army has captured the Japanese positions and is cleaning up the remaining Japanese troops. Do you want to clean up the battlefield?"

"Clean the battlefield immediately."

"Yes."

In the Japanese position, a group of soldiers carrying flame guns appeared in the Japanese trenches and cleaned up the caves dug by the Japanese army.

I saw a flame gunner pull the flame gun towards a hole, and a fire snake shot out immediately. The fire snake sprayed into the hole, immediately burning up the oxygen in the cave. [

After a while, a Japanese soldier came out holding his hands high, and the Japanese soldier was crying.

Some Japanese soldiers were directly suffocated to death in the cave.

Under the cleanup of the flame gunmen, the Japanese soldiers hiding in the fortifications were quickly cleaned up.The First Division immediately began to clean up the battlefield, which was definitely not an easy task.

However, after the initial nausea and vomiting, the soldiers gradually got used to the horribly burned corpses and began to collect the spoils excitedly.

Soon the first division captured a military flag of the No.18 division of the Japanese army.

This battle wiped out [-] Japanese troops, which was a good start for the Chinese Army to fight against the Japanese Army. It was also the first time that the Chinese Army wiped out a certain number of Japanese troops since the Sino-Japanese War.

The Chinese Army won the first battle, and the news was immediately reported by various newspapers in an extra-issue manner.

Hearing the news of the victory, the common people were all excited, and people's attention was completely shifted from the railway stocks to the war.

When the news reached the Xinhua Palace in Beijing, Yuan Shikai was even more excited. In this battle against Japan, Yuan Shikai handed over the Beiyang Army to Jiang Yu's command. Obviously, he had made a lot of determination, but he still had the last sliver of concern. Gone.

Yuan Shikai immediately found the newly appointed Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi, and said to Tang Shaoyi: "Immediately declare war on Japan."

"What? Declare war on Japan?" Tang Shaoyi thought he had heard it wrong. Yuan Shikai nodded seriously and said, "Yes, declare war on Japan. Immediately."

Declare war on Japan!Is the President crazy?

"President, once you declare war with Japan, the outcome will never be known. What if you lose?" Tang Shaoyi hurriedly dissuaded. Tang Shaoyi's views represent most people in China at this time. With the rise of Japan in Asia, the myth that Japan is invincible has been branded in the world. in the minds of many.

"This battle did not successfully annihilate [-] Japanese troops." Yuan Shikai handed Tang Shaoyi the battle report from Shandong, and Tang Shaoyi took a look and was stunned.

It felt... incredible.

"I have decided to declare war on Japan." Yuan Shikai stood up and said to Tang Shaoyi in a tone that could not be vetoed. Jiang Yu told him that China would not be defeated!

It is impossible to lose!

Even fighting a war of attrition can consume Japan to death. At this time, China has this capital, but Japan does not have this capital.

Japan is inferior to China in terms of population, and it is also inferior to China in terms of resources. At this time, China already has its own military industry and can also manufacture machinery and equipment. If it is really a protracted war of attrition, China will only become stronger and stronger, and Japan will only become stronger The weaker the fight.

Seeing Yuan Shikai's resolute attitude, Tang Shaoyi had no choice but to follow Yuan Shikai's instructions and immediately drafted a declaration of war against Japan.

On September 9, Tang Shaoyi officially read the book of war in Beijing, and China declared war on Japan!

The news quickly spread around the world like a storm. [

While the Europeans were busy with the war, the ancient country of Asia, China, and the emerging country, Japan, broke out for the second time after the Sino-Japanese War.

When the Japanese government received China's declaration of war, they were all stunned. They were still considering whether to declare war on China!As a result, China was the first to declare war.

At this time, Japan is like a proud animal whose tail is suddenly stepped on, and its hair explodes immediately.

The Japanese government reacted quickly and declared war on China on the same day.

When it came time to declare war, it wasn't like before, it was a complete tear.Those Japanese expatriates will naturally be liquidated, and the industries invested by Japan in China will naturally be confiscated.

All provinces and regions of China immediately confiscated Japanese industries and arrested Japanese nationals at the same time.

Japan's investment in China has risen to 3 million U.S. dollars, equivalent to 44% of the United Kingdom, 66% of Russia, 75% of Germany, more than France, and 29 times that of the United States.

These assets will be confiscated.

In contrast, China has almost no investment in Japan, and before the war, Jiang Yu had secretly withdrawn all the East China Group's industries in Japan.

Moreover, since the year of [-], very few people under Jiang Yu's rule went to Japan to study, and most of them went to Germany to study through Jiang Yu's channel.

However, there are still many Chinese students studying in Japan. The Japanese obviously want to brainwash these students to plunge China into chaos.

This is like the United States using compensation to allow Chinese students to study in the United States, and the purpose is similar.

Jiang Yu really couldn't control those Chinese students who went to study in Japan.

Originally, Jiang Yu didn't have a good impression of the foreign students studying in Japan, so he didn't make too many arrangements before declaring war. Those foreign students didn't have much money, so even if the Japanese government arrested them, it would be a disadvantage.

When the front line was defeated, the Japanese government did not dare to openly kill those overseas students. After all, many Japanese expatriates are still in the hands of the Chinese government.

On the same day, the Northeast China Military Region launched an attack on the South Manchuria Railway Garrison. The Japanese South Manchuria Railway Garrison had only more than 2 troops, and they retreated steadily under the attack of the Northeast China Military Region.

Since the National Defense Forces also stationed a division in the Northeast Military Region, and possessed a large number of vehicles, their maneuverability was very strong, and they directly outflanked the rear of the Japanese army.

On September 9, the Japanese army was besieged 22 kilometers away from Fengtian City. Under the siege of 10,000+ Beiyang troops, the [-] Manchurian garrison was wiped out in less than a day.

Having suffered so much, the Japanese government was furious, and immediately mobilized two divisions from the mainland to reinforce the Shandong battlefield.

While China and Japan declared war on each other, Japan also tried to get the Allies to declare war on China. Once Britain declared war on China, it would be much easier for Japan to deal with China. Japan thinks so.

However, for China, Jiang Yu has already thought about the British issue.

At this time, Britain was busy with the European war, and it was impossible to declare war on China first. Once Britain declared war on China, it would inevitably suffer huge losses.

First of all, the British investment in China will be wiped out, and the concession will not be guaranteed.

In addition, Jiangyu's East China Group also borrowed a lot of money from banks in Britain and France. Once the Allied Powers declared war with China, it would be impossible to repay the money unless China was defeated.

Even if the British guy is not clear-headed, he declares war on China.Then there is no need for China to be afraid, because Britain can't mobilize much power to start a war in Asia.

After all, the Allies have made Britain overwhelmed.

As Jiang Yu expected, Britain rejected Japan's proposal to declare war on China on the grounds that Japan had not yet signed an agreement with Britain.

The previous agreement was only verbal, not formal.

Although Britain is wary of China at this time, it is also wary of Japan, and even more wary of Japan. Just like the original history, after the outbreak of World War I, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs submitted a memorandum to Britain, which stated: Japan will "Use all possible means and methods to eliminate the German influence that may cause damage to the interests of Japan and Britain in East Asia."

As a result, the UK was taken aback when it received the memo.Because Japan obviously wants to take the opportunity to expand and endanger the interests of Britain in China.Therefore, the British envoy to Japan was ordered to inform Japan that Japan's declaration of war against Germany would create the impression that the front line would extend to mainland China, and would immediately arouse China's uneasiness. I hope Japan will not declare war on Germany.

At this time, history has changed. The intention of the United Kingdom is to let China and Japan fight each other. The result that the British want to see most is that both China and Japan will lose their economies and weaken their national strength.

So at this time, after the fight between China and Japan, the UK first took the attitude of watching the excitement. How could it be willing to go to battle in person to get involved?

Therefore, Japan's intention to kidnap Britain to declare war on China directly fell through. (to be continued)
