Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

After a long day of marching, Li Guosheng, commander-in-chief of the Ninth Army, was already sitting in Shenyang City, where Zhang Xueliang should have been.

Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng was walking around at the headquarters, admiring the quaint office in front of him.A hasty knock on the door suddenly reached Li Guosheng's ears.

"Come in..." Li Guosheng quickly put away his relaxed mood and shouted towards the door.

As soon as the voice fell, the closed office door was pushed open.Afterwards, the slightly excited figure of Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen appeared in front of Li Guosheng.

Before Li Guosheng had time to speak, Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen had already excitedly opened his mouth to report: "Commander, good news, good news from the First Air Division... The Japanese Navy escort fleet, except for one heavy cruiser, the Akagi aircraft carrier, floated again due to loss of power. Outside the sea, the remaining ships, including the battleship King Kong, were all sunk." [

Li Guosheng didn't react for a while, and stared blankly at Xiong Shaowen in front of him, without saying a word.

In Li Guosheng's heart, this good news came too fast.According to his analysis of the strength between the enemy and the enemy, the entire naval battle will not last for a day, and it will not come down at all.But now, counting from the beginning of the war, less than three hours have passed, and it has ended.

Faced with this unexpected result, it took half a minute for Li Guosheng to react from his astonishment.Facing the front, Xiong Shaowen asked: "Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong, do you know the battle process? What I want to know most now is how the navy and air force managed to eat up the Japanese escort fleet in such a short period of time. You know, the Japanese escort fleet not only It is equipped with a large number of battleships and heavy cruisers. It is also equipped with a medium-sized aircraft carrier."

Xiong Shaowen shook his head and replied: "Chief Commander. Commander Guo of the [-]st Air Force Division has not reported the specific battle. In addition, there is a problem on the front line. Because the relationship is too big, Commander Guo and Commander Sun of the Navy hope that you can come up with the a decision?"

Li Guosheng nodded, quickly put away his curiosity about the naval battle, and asked, "What's the problem? Both of their generals can't solve it...>

"It's about the final disposal plan for the remaining two warships and ten transport ships of the Japanese escort fleet."

"Commander Sun of the navy means: capture these warships as much as possible to strengthen our navy. However, Commander Guo of the Air Force means to make a quick decision, end the battle as soon as possible and sink all the ships into the sea. In addition, Commander Guo also said According to the report, although the remaining warships of the Japanese army have lost power, they have become live targets for the air force. However, the various naval weapons on the decks of the two warships are still there. That is to say, the two warships still have the ability to fight. If If the navy is dispatched to forcibly capture him, the navy fleet will definitely pay a considerable price."

After Li Guosheng nodded thoughtfully, he asked back: "Not only that... If there is no accident, the two of them are dealing with ten transport ships and a total of [-] Japanese army elites. There is no small difference... >

"The chief seat is wise...>

"Mr. Guo of the Air Force means that there is no need to be merciful to these Japanese who intend to invade China's territory. They will directly sink them together with the transport ship into the sea to feed the fish."

Li Guosheng nodded.Responded: "It's not surprising that Guo Zhenghua said these words. You know, before he really joined my Ninth Army, all of Guo Zhenghua's family members died in the hands of the Japanese. So, speaking of hatred for the Japanese, almost There's nobody like him."

finished.Facing Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen, he continued to ask, "What does the navy mean?"

Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen replied: "Commander Sun of the Navy means: After all, the [-] Japanese troops are [-] lives. If we can not kill or injure, we should try not to kill or injure them. Otherwise, our Ninth Army will definitely be killed by the Japanese government." ’, and even under the hype of the national government, it was pushed to the peak of public opinion, and in the hearts of the people across the country, it was infamous for killing innocent people indiscriminately... >

Faced with two completely different thoughts, Li Guosheng immediately fell into deep thought.And he said to himself: "What Guo Zhenghua and Sun Haijun said makes sense..."

Xiong Shaowen, the deputy chief of staff, asked back with a look of confusion: "Boss, how should we reply to this telegram?"

"Of course, reply according to Sun Haijun's statement. If the warships sent to the door by the Japanese cannot be accepted, it will be too incompetent of us..." Li Guosheng responded.

After finishing speaking, a greedy smile quickly disappeared from Li Guosheng's face.

At this moment, Li Guosheng already thought of the scene of forming China's first aircraft carrier formation after capturing these warships.As for the ten [-]-ton transport ships, Li Guosheng is confident: the addition of these transport ships will be of great benefit to the development of the Chinese navy, China's shipping industry, and even the development of China's shipbuilding industry.

Of course, Li Guosheng would not let go of such a huge benefit. [

As for the [-] elite troops on the ten transport ships of the Japanese army, on the surface, it seemed that if they were captured, they would waste a lot of food in their hands and help the little devils to raise troops.In fact, Li Guosheng, who came from later generations, has enough ways to squeeze enough benefits from these captives.

Under the rule of Zhang Xueliang and his son of the Northeast Army, the three northeastern provinces have experienced more than ten years of rapid development.However, in Li Guosheng's view, these developments are very unbalanced.All kinds of economic investment are limited to some parts of the three northeastern provinces, especially Shenyang, the economic and political center of the three northeastern provinces.

It can be said that half of the 3000 million people in the three northeastern provinces live in Liaoning and the surrounding areas of Shenyang.As for the economy of the three northeastern provinces, at least half is located in Shenyang, Liaoning.

The entire three northeastern provinces, in Li Guosheng's view, are the reason why there is such an unbalanced development.The limited population resources, especially the population of less than [-] million in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces, is a very critical factor.Of course, in addition to this, there is another crucial restrictive factor, that is, the road restrictions in the three northeastern provinces.

Within the customs, almost every town has at least one suggested road that can be opened to traffic.However, in the three northeastern provinces, there are even many counties in between.None of the roads are more than three meters wide.

Under such circumstances, no matter how fertile the land in the three northeastern provinces is.No matter how many mineral resources are buried underground, there will be no road transportation.All kinds of commodities cannot be circulated and cannot be developed.

Since I will be in charge of the three northeastern provinces in the near future, I will use the power of the three northeastern provinces to fight against the entire Japanese "government".Then, developing the three northeastern provinces and solving these two current problems have become issues that Li Guosheng must consider.

Now, seeing the electric board sent by Guo Zhenghua, Li Guosheng suddenly thought of a solution to one of the problems.Utilize a large number of strong Japanese soldiers captured on the battlefield.For yourself, for the entire three northeastern provinces to build roads for free.Until the Japanese "government" is willing to pay a large sum of money to buy these captives back.

Therefore, in the face of these sudden free labor and these treasures that can be exchanged for a large amount of ransom from the Japanese "government", Li Guosheng's first thought was to keep it for himself.

After confirming the feasibility of the whole matter, a cunning smile quickly flashed across Li Guosheng's face.

Facing the deputy chief of staff Xiong Shaowen in front of him, he ordered: "Deputy chief of staff, you should immediately send a telegram to Commander Guo Zhenghua: order the first air division to use clear codes immediately. Shout out to the Japanese navy on the sea to ask them to surrender to our Chinese army immediately, and they cannot do anything." Do not do any damage to warships. Otherwise, our Chinese Air Force will immediately launch an attack on the Japanese transport ship, sink it, and let [-] Japanese army elites die on the bottom of the sea together with them."

"In addition, call Commander Sun of the Navy: Order the navy fleet, and immediately prepare to accept the surrendered Japanese ships. Once the Japanese ships surrender, they will be towed to the shipyard for repairs. At the same time, find a way to salvage the sunken ships. Japanese ships. As for the Japanese navy and army officers and soldiers who surrendered to our army, they will all be escorted to Lushunkou by transport ships, and I will dispatch two infantry regiments to meet the prisoners at Lushunkou.”

"Yes, Chief"

Although he didn't know whether the Japanese navy would be obedient, but after seeing the confident expression on Li Guosheng's face, Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen still chose to believe it.Responded loudly, leaving Li Guosheng's office...

.......................................

"Is this method of the chief ok?"

In the cockpit of a bomber over the mouth of the Yalu River, after receiving the telegram handed to him by the ammunition hand.After reading the content of the telegram, Guo Zhenghua, the commander of the First Kong Division, couldn't help talking to himself and asked back.

However, this rhetorical question was immediately refuted by a self-deprecating smile.

Maybe he was talking to himself, or maybe he was talking to his subordinates behind him, and said again: "In my impression, the chief executive has never done anything that can't be done. Maybe this wēixié will really make the little devil navy feel scruples, and even Surrender to us. However, even so, we must let the little devils believe that our Chinese Air Force can say and do it, and believe in our wēixié to them.”

After finishing speaking, he turned to the walkie-talkie in front of him and ordered decisively: "Attention the Second Bomber Regiment: Attention the remaining bombers of the fourth and fifth squadrons. Immediately go to patrol over the Japanese transport ship. Once you receive the attack order from me, quickly report to the Japanese army." A Japanese transport ship launched an attack and sunk it in the shortest possible time. Remember, only one Japanese transport ship can be sunk."

After the order was issued, Guo Zhenghua turned around and ordered to the ammunition operator and radio operator behind him: "Xiao Wang, you immediately follow the command of the chief: use clear codes to send a report to the Japanese escort fleet, asking them to surrender immediately. Your army has shown the determination of our Chinese army, and our air force will sink a transport ship in 3 minutes as a punishment."

…………………………>

The King Kong battleship sank into the sea, and the commander of the fleet, Lieutenant General Otani, although he had made up his mind to die, wanted to be buried in the bottom of the sea along with the warship.However, under the escort of a group of subordinates who were almost "kidnapped", Lieutenant General Otani's wish to sacrifice his life for benevolence undoubtedly failed.

At this moment, he was standing in the command cabin of the Akagi aircraft carrier with a gloomy face, looking at the large number of warship wrecks floating on the sea, without saying a word.

As for Lieutenant General Otani behind him, the staff subordinates headed by Takagi Yutake Dazuo invisibly looked at Lieutenant General Otani in front of him without saying a word.I hope that the commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Otani, can come up with an idea at the last moment to save the lives of thousands of naval officers and soldiers of the escort fleet.

But at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly broke the solemn and oppressive atmosphere in the command cabin.

The closed door of the aircraft carrier's command cabin was just pushed open, and all the subordinates looked at it.It has been brought together to this fool who hit the gun.Want to see who it is.Dare to rush in at this time, not afraid of arousing the dissatisfaction and anger of Lieutenant General Otani.

Faced with the pitiful eyes of the chief staff officers looking at him.The communications staff officer of the major seemed to realize something, and beads of sweat, the size of beans, quickly emerged from his forehead.Facing the back of Lieutenant General Otani, he reported in a low voice: "Report to Your Excellency, the telecommunications room has just received a clear-coded telegram from the Chinese Air Force...>

"A clear-coded telegram sent to us by the Chinese army...>

"Does the Chinese army ask our escort fleet to surrender to them immediately..."

Under the gaze of Otani Zhongjiang's sharp eyes, the sweat dripped from the forehead of the Major Staff Officer.Directly like rain, it began to flow downward.Gathering up the courage, facing Lieutenant General Da Gu's eyes, he said affirmatively: "Yes, Your Excellency General...>

The escort fleet was almost completely lost, facing this result.Lieutenant General Otani, who wanted to die but couldn't, had already suppressed a strong anger in his heart.Now, the Chinese, who I have never looked at directly, even asked myself to surrender to him.This strong anger.At this moment, he finally caught the sign of an outbreak.

Seeing the hesitant and hesitant expression of the Major Staff Officer in front of him, Lieutenant General Otani seemed to see the other party mocking him.The anger in my heart burst out instantly.Facing the major staff officer in front of him.He asked loudly: "Baga, now I order you. Tell me all the contents of the telegram immediately. If we don't surrender, what will the Chinese plan to do? If you don't explain clearly, you are disturbing the morale of the army. You are here directly to report to the army." His Majesty the Emperor apologizes..."

After wiping the cold sweat gushing from his forehead, the staff officer reported with a terrified expression: "Hayi...>

"The Chinese army called. If my escort fleet does not surrender immediately, the Chinese army will attack the transport ship escorted by my escort fleet. In order to convince us of the determination of the Chinese army, they will bomb and sink a transport ship in 3 minutes... "

"Nani, attacking the transport ship... No, this is a massacre, a massacre of the Imperial Japanese Army. No, no matter what, the Chinese Air Force cannot be allowed to attack the transport ship. Otherwise, all officers and soldiers of our escort fleet will become sinners of the empire , and become the enemy of all the citizens of the empire." Lieutenant General Otani was taken aback for a moment, and then he recovered from his astonishment.Facing the major staff officer, he exclaimed in despair.

As soon as his words fell, the slightly frightened voice of the deputy chief of staff, Takagi Yutake, just reached his ears: "General, the Chinese Air Force has begun to move..."

Looking in the direction of Takagi Yutake's finger, on the sea about one kilometer away from the aircraft carrier, a tragic scene that Admiral Otani will never forget has begun to be staged.

In the face of attacks from dozens of bombers, there are basically no transport ships equipped with large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and basically only the fate of being passively beaten.The Chinese Air Force's offensive has just begun. Of the nine heavy bombs dropped on the transport ship, six of them accurately hit the transport ship's deck.

Through the binoculars, Lieutenant General Otani could clearly see that the elites of the Imperial Army were thrown high into the sky and turned into corpses under the impetus of juliè fireballs and air waves generated by the bomb explosion...

Soon, six mushroom clouds with a height of 50 meters, mixed with a lot of smoke, soldiers' limbs and arms, and even corpses appeared above the transport ship deck.

Of course, this is only the first round of strikes by the Chinese Air Force.

The gunpowder smoke that shrouded the deck of the transport ship had not yet dissipated, and three more bombers, like howling shells, swooped down on the transport ship from an altitude of several thousand meters.

Getting closer and closer, when the three bombers were still one kilometer away from the transport ship, several black heavy bombs quickly broke away from the bomber's restraint, followed the fighter plane's dive trajectory, and continued to hit the transport ship's deck.As for the three bombers, after drawing a beautiful arc in the sky, they flew into the sky again.

Intensive and juliè explosions came from the transport ship a kilometer away. The warship, which was just shrouded in gunpowder smoke, had turned into a huge fireball at this moment.Looking around, the entire transport ship is like a huge fireboat floating on the sea, slowly burning.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Admiral Otani knew that it was a matter of time before the transport ship sank to the bottom of the sea.

As for the tens of thousands of army elites carried by profiteers, they will also be reduced to ashes in this sea of ​​fire.In the end, together with this transport ship, they were buried in the bottom of the sea.

For a while, Nuo Da's aircraft carrier command cabin was once again shrouded in a dignified atmosphere.Including Lieutenant General Otani, the faces of all the officers were completely enveloped in gloom.

And at this moment, another communications staff officer with the rank of Major on his shoulders rushed into the command cabin.

"Is it another telegram from the Chinese army to persuade you to surrender...>

"Romper...>

"Report Your Excellency, the Chinese army is calling. If my escort fleet cannot give a clear answer within three minutes. After 3 minutes, the Chinese Air Force will attack the transport fleet again and sink two ships at once. Transport ship." (To be continued...)
