The First Warlord of the Republic of China

.

spn Since Britain sent a note to China, the Beijing government of China has not responded. After waiting for a while, on September 9, Japan and the United Kingdom decided to try to attack Qingdao.

On the same day, there was an artillery battle between Japanese warships and Qingdao Fort.

From morning to noon, the German fort was damaged in many places, but the overall loss was not serious. On the contrary, many Japanese warships were damaged. Among them, the Takachiho was directly sunk by the German army, and more than 3000 Japanese naval soldiers fell into the sea. Only more than [-] people were rescued.

Among them, two Japanese warships were seriously injured when they triggered mines, and more than ten torpedo boats were sunk.

Japan, which was so embarrassed, could only order to retreat, and the menacing Japan was blocked from Qingdao again. Obviously, Japan did not want to attack Qingdao from the sea. [

The casualties of the frontal attack were too great.

In the battle against this kind of port fortress, Japan has relatively rich experience, because more than 6 people were killed by the Russians when they attacked Lushun.

When fighting Lushun, Japan also attacked from land, and had never launched an attack on land from sea.How can the army launch an attack on the German fortress in Qingdao?

Japan, which suffered a lot, also gave up the idea of ​​​​launching an attack from the sea again.

At this time, Japan had assembled nearly [-] troops at sea. In order to cooperate with Japan in taking Qingdao, Britain also mobilized a group of ships to help Japan transport troops.

The [-] troops are just the vanguard, but Japan really doesn't have that many ships.

At this time, in Japan, the displacement of ships is only more than 50 tons, far behind the four countries of Britain, Germany, the United States and France. How strong is the transportation capacity of transporting troops by sea?

Without the help of the United Kingdom in transportation, Japan would be able to gather [-] troops to the coast of Shandong, China in a short period of time.

Of course, the British still have the energy to mobilize merchant ships in Asia to make waves. When the German submarine group is dispatched, the British will have to cry.

On September 9, the United Kingdom sent two consecutive notes to the Beijing government of China, but it also did not receive a positive response from the Beijing government of China.

In the evening of the same day, the Japanese army blatantly landed in Longkou, completely disregarding the boundaries of the war zone previously delineated by the Chinese government.

Japan's move immediately angered the Chinese government. Yuan Shikai sent a note to Britain and Japan overnight, scolding the two countries for ignoring China's sovereignty and launching a war within the Chinese territory without authorization. If the military operations are not stopped immediately, the Republic of China will suffer fight back.

At the same time, in the evening of the same day, Jiang Yu ordered the Longkou defenders to counterattack the landing Japanese troops.And urgently mobilized the defenders in Zhaoyuan, Laizhou, and Weifang to march towards Longkou.

Before Japan landed, Jiang Yu already knew the location of Japan's landing, but Jiang Yu was not sure whether history would follow the original track.

However, there is nothing wrong with the Japanese landing in Longkou in history. Therefore, since Jiang Yu occupied Shandong in the year of [-], he secretly built a large number of fortifications in Longkou.

Not long ago, while Jiang Yu was adding troops to Shandong, he was also secretly deploying troops in the Longkou mountain area, as well as the Zhaoyuan and Laizhou areas.

And Japan thought that the main force of the National Defense Forces and the Beiyang Army was still in Weifang.

At this time, as soon as the Japanese army landed, the National Defense Forces and the Beiyang Army immediately encircled Longkou, and the speed was beyond the imagination of the Japanese army.

The landing of the Japanese army also encountered great trouble. [

On the beach where they landed, there were actually underground fortresses built by the National Defense Forces.

These fortresses are extremely concealed. These fortresses were built since the year of [-]. At that time, Longkou was not in the scope of Japan's key intelligence collection.

The landing Japanese army hit the iron plate directly.

I saw that the Japanese troops who had landed had just stepped onto the beach when they were violently fired by machine guns.Amidst bursts of gunshots, rows of Japanese soldiers fell on the beach.

"Baga! There is a Chinese fortress there."

"Onboard, long live the Great Japanese Empire."

Holding rifles, the Japanese soldiers crawled fearfully towards the underground fortresses on the tidal flats. When they got close to these underground fortresses, they suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the place where the fortresses were located.

As a result, they were still killed on the spot by the defenders of the National Defense Forces in the underground fortress. The Japanese soldiers who rushed to the fortress had no way to take the fortress.

rifle?

grenades?

It doesn't seem to have any effect!

**?

This is an underground fortress with extremely strong walls.

Several waves of Japanese soldiers rushed up, but they were all repelled by the underground fortress on the shore.The Japanese army had to temporarily stop landing, and instead used naval guns to bombard the underground fortress on the shore.

Boom boom boom boom~~!

The sound of the guns fired by the ferocious naval guns was like thunder, and the ground shook violently.

The cannon hit the underground fortress on the shore, setting off pieces of mud!

But the effect still seems to be insignificant!These underground fortresses have a thick layer of dirt on the outside and a thick layer of concrete inside.

Even naval guns still have little effect on these underground fortifications.

But it can't be said that there is no effect. If the bombing is continued, these underground fortifications can indeed be removed, but it will take a lot of time and destroy a lot of artillery.

At 9 o'clock in the morning on September 16, the Japanese naval warship launched a fierce shelling on the underground fortifications on the shore again.

The shelling lasted for nearly half an hour, and the Japanese army focused on bombarding a section of the fortifications. [

I saw that the area where the Japanese army's bombing target was located had been bombed into a mess, the soil was thrown everywhere, and the concrete layer was directly exposed below.

Even that layer of concrete was blasted beyond recognition.

The Japanese army obviously wanted to open a gap first, and then landed.

This landing was coordinated by the Japanese navy, which had a large number of naval guns to attack the land, and the strike range was within 20 kilometers. Yesterday, they suddenly suffered a dumb loss, which made the Japanese army extremely unhappy.

But it is clear that some underground fortresses cannot prevent the Japanese army from landing.

At dawn, the Japanese army launched a landing on the tidal flat with howling wailing again. When they stepped on the tidal flat covered with yellow mud, they found that there was no sound on the shore.

"Haha! The Chinese must have been killed."

However, when the Japanese army searched on the tidal flat, they unexpectedly found that there was no one in the underground fortress that was under the care of naval guns, not even a dead body.

Apparently the Wehrmacht inside the fort had retreated.

At the same time, the National Defense Forces are still standing in other fortresses.

These underground fortresses were only used by Jiang Yu to disgust the Japanese, but they were not sure that Japan would land in Longkou, so they were not built on a large scale at the beginning, and Japan could easily open a gap in them.

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Jiang Yu had already issued an order to retreat to the soldiers in the fortress in the direction of the Japanese breakthrough at night.

The other fortresses do not need to retreat, and the Japanese army obviously does not need to clean up these underground fortresses. If they want to clear these underground fortresses, they must pay a relatively high price.

The Longkou garrison built fortifications [-] kilometers away from the coastline, and the Longkou County Government organized the people to move to the rear overnight.

The transfer distance does not need to be too long, as long as it is [-] kilometers away from the coastline.

Within [-] kilometers from the coastline, that is the range of the Japanese navy's naval guns, and the army fighting the Japanese army there is courting death.

Unless the air force is used to blow up the Japanese warships first, the army simply cannot withstand the bombardment of those giant guns with a caliber exceeding 300mm.

Taking the initiative to retreat [-] kilometers away from the coastline is a good show to invite you into the urn.

In order to avoid losses as much as possible, the people within [-] kilometers of the coastline moved as much as possible, and moved as much as possible of their property.

In the Zhaoyuan area, the national defense force has secretly built a large airport, and a large number of dive bombers and torpedo planes have already flown to Zhaoyuan.

In order not to startle the enemy, when the Japanese navy was still bombarding the coastline in Laizhou Bay, it flew to the upper port of the Japanese fleet.

This is definitely a pit, a big pit.

In this era, no one has ever thought that the air force can be used to bomb the navy!

Now wait for the Japanese army to complete the landing.

……

Due to continuous torrential rains in Shandong in September, coupled with the blocking of the underground fortress on the tidal flat, the Japanese army's landing was not smooth. When the Japanese army blew up a gap in the fortress to land, the muddy road made the Japanese army's march more difficult. .

The No.18 Division of the Japanese Army took the lead. They had just reached a small village, but there was no one in the village.

Just as the Japanese army was about to stop for a rest, there was a sudden "bass" gunshot. The sound of this rifle was relatively unfamiliar to the ears of the Japanese army.

After the gunshot, a Japanese squad leader fell down and was hit in the chest.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack." In a burst of panic, the Japanese army quickly picked up their rifles and alerted their surroundings.But after waiting for a long time, there was no trace of the enemy.

500 meters away from the Japanese, a Wehrmacht sniper is crawling in a foxhole, passing through his camouflage as if blending in with his surroundings.

Obviously, the Japanese army had never seen a sniper, and they didn't even know where the sniper came from.

The sniper had already squatted down to avoid the possible random attacks from the Japanese army, but he didn't wait and didn't move for a while. He poked his head out of the foxhole again and aimed the Type 03 sniper rifle in his hand at the enemy in the distance. Japanese army.

After waiting for a while, he aimed at a Japanese soldier and pulled the trigger again.

bass!

The Japanese soldier fell down, and the sniper kept aiming at another Japanese soldier quickly, pulling the trigger continuously.

In less than five seconds, he shot out the remaining seven shots and frantically shot and killed three ordinary Japanese soldiers.

Immediately, the sniper jumped up and shifted quickly with his waist down.

Now the Japanese army finally knew where the call came from, and they slapped them, but the Wehrmacht sniper had already run away.

All units of the Eighteenth Division of the Japanese Army were attacked and harassed by snipers of the National Defense Forces during the march. These snipers walked behind the battlefield like ghosts.

After all, the Japanese army had just landed, and they didn't have so many troops to eliminate those snipers.

These snipers brought great panic to the Japanese army, which made every Japanese army tense up, for fear that a deadly shot would come secretly at any time. (to be continued)
