Jagged Warlord

There were also several transport ships that escaped by chance, and the soldiers of the 19th Division were sitting on the transport ships.They were luckier than the No.[-] Division, because the port was relatively small, so they hadn't had their turn to go ashore until the Second Fleet withdrew.But it was also because of this that they turned around and fled immediately when they realized that something was wrong.

The closer to the city of Qingdao, the more dense the pits are, big, small, deep, shallow, and the landforms of many places in Qingdao have been changed as far as the eye can see.The short 8000-meter road from Jingshan Fortress to Fushan Mountain is full of corpses, and corpses are everywhere.

Wu Peifu, commander of the No.13 Division of the National Defense Forces, recalled that tears had already covered his cheeks, and repeatedly took care of the corpse collection team: "Be gentler and gentler. The corpse must be patched up so that the brothers can be buried in the ground intact."

The members of the corpse collection team wearing masks nodded. In fact, there is no need to explain that these corpse collection team members who came spontaneously from various factories in Qingdao and the local people will be cautious, because these are their children, their soldiers, and national heroes. !

"Ziyu!" Li Mohan stepped on the blood and corpses all over the ground and came to the front. He pondered and said, "Have the troops been sorted out? How is the morale now?"

Wu Peifu was heartbroken, and replied: "There are a lot of casualties. Prime Minister, shall we organize another attack, this time we promise to wipe out the frontier Luzhai."

"No!" Li Mohan waved his hand heavily, "No. You can't just come and go. The forward troops are united by a small group of capable infantry, and can no longer launch such a dense attack! Use artillery to support the infantry. In addition, Shen Liankai Armored units will strike the vanguard."

"Armored troops?" Wu Peifu didn't understand. "Our division has been fighting for a whole morning. How about a replacement? I'm not convinced."

"If you are not convinced, you have to be convinced. Are you made of iron? How many bullets can you carry on your chest?" Li Mohan scolded [

"I~" Wu Peifu grabbed his soft military cap and kneaded it into a ball.

Li Mohan snatched the hat, flattened it again and put it on Wu Peifu's head, "I didn't ask Shen Liankai to attack. As soon as the artillery fire stops, his armored troops will rush forward, and the infantry of your division will follow. Behind their tanks."

Jiang Fangzhen also came over and comforted Wu Peifu: "Ziyu, trust the chairman, this is also to reduce casualties."

"Okay." Wu Peifu nodded resignedly

At noon, the artillery of the National Defense Forces began to bombard the Japanese positions, and several bombers taking off from Huangdao also joined the attack on the Japanese troops.The infantry of Wu Peifu's division and Feng Yuxiang's division gathered at the starting position, watching the Japanese army's positions in the distance bursting into flames, and half of the sky was covered in red.The launch of the heavy artillery cluster of our own army really makes people feel indestructible.Each soldier checked and checked his equipment.Submachine guns, rifles, light machine guns, grenades, throwing canisters, blasting canisters and explosive kits specially used to destroy Luzhai, and some even brought engineering shovels, ready to fight hand-to-hand at any time.

An hour later, the artillery fire began to extend forward, and the sound of explosions resounded throughout the front line, and the enemy Luzhai suffered continuous blasting.The Wehrmacht and SS soldiers cleared more than a dozen infantry attack paths with their lives.The rear continued to cross the Tongbo River to deliver blasting materials to the front line, and the heavy artillery clusters also focused on firing at the enemy's fort to suppress its firepower.

During the daytime reconnaissance, the field artillery positions of the Japanese army were determined, but they were also suppressed by the heavy artillery of the Wehrmacht and the SS.However, the Japanese counterattack was still fierce, and the casualties of the troops attacking forward everywhere were still heavy.

"Kill!" The Wehrmacht and SS soldiers used submachine guns, rifles, pistols, engineering shovels, and blasting guns to try to blast the enemy's densely set up permanent firepower firing points while fighting the infantry on the Japanese trench line.

Every Wehrmacht and SS rolled there under fire, tireless and unafraid of death's onslaught.The machine gun firepower in the rear is also fully escorting them.The water-cooled guns of each Maxim heavy machine gun opened the pot, and when a shooter fell, someone came up to replace it.A machine gun was blasted to pieces, and a new machine gun team moved up under the artillery fire.

Thus, Shen Liankai's armored troops appeared on the stage.Whether it is the Japanese 19-type rifle, a large official machine gun, or a small-caliber field gun, it is nowhere near the scratch for the [-]-type tank with thick armor.

The fortifications outside have been completely destroyed by artillery, and thousands of Japanese soldiers in the trenches are all ashen. Although the navy still sent destroyers and a few transport ships to help after the heavy damage last night, how could such a small fleet take away so many people? A group of heavy artillery 120 mm and 160 mortars appeared in Fushan. The Japanese army thought that the way home from the heavy artillery was completely cut off!

A plane of China Army Aviation rushed into the sky against the setting sun. Below the plane, the fight between the two sides had gradually subsided.Looking down from the plane.There are so many deer villages set up in the entire Qingdao Fortress, and trenches and ditches that are so deep and wide have been dug, after two nights of artillery fire and continuous blasting last night.Especially the area around the Xiaozhan Mountain infantry fortress has been almost leveled, and there are scorched black marks everywhere, human corpses, tattered military uniforms, and various damaged weapons all over the battlefield.

The Qingdao campaign is all over, this is a preliminary statistical report.Since the beginning of the battle at the beginning of the month, the National Defense Forces had a total of more than 6100 casualties, and 2 people died in the first wave of attack alone.A total of more than 5 Japanese soldiers were killed, more than a thousand prisoners were captured, 3 guns of various types, and 7 cannons were seized.107 enemy battleships were sunk, 12 were seriously injured, 3 were slightly injured, and 4 troop carriers were sunk. The rest of the seized materials and medicines are being counted.

In fact, the war between China and Japan is not only in Shandong, but also on the Liaodong Peninsula, the Chinese National Defense Forces have also mopped up the local Japanese military presence.The National Defense Forces went all the way south along the South-Manchuria Railway, cleared all the surrounding Japanese strongholds, and drove all the Japanese nationals to the pre-built prisoner-of-war camps.Finally, soldiers surrounded Lushun.

The fact that the Chinese navy dragged the sunk Japanese naval warship back to its own military port greatly stimulated Japan. [

The Naval Ministry Building in Kasumigaseki, Tokyo is a thick building made of red bricks.The Naval Ministry Building fully embodies the "civilization" of the Japanese Navy. Like the Naval Academy, the entire building is in the British style, and all the red bricks are packed piece by piece and shipped from the United Kingdom by warships.

The current Minister of the Navy is named Yusaburo Kato, a native of Hiroshima, and is the 21st Prime Minister of Japan.During the Russo-Japanese War in the Sea of ​​Japan, Kato served as the chief of staff of the United Fleet and was the number two figure in the fleet.He was an expert in artillery, and the proper use of Japanese naval artillery was an important factor in victory.

When it comes to the heroes of the Japanese-Russian naval battle in the Japan Sea, everyone will think of Togo Heihachiro, the commander of the United Fleet.Undoubtedly, this naval battle determined the outcome of the Russo-Japanese War. It was precisely because of Japan's victory in the Russo-Japanese War that Japan became a world-class country and attracted the attention of all countries.That's why Dongxiang is called the god of war. After his death, he was given a state funeral by the emperor. He is one of the few soldiers who is included in high school textbooks.But Yusaburo Kato, who worked closely with Togo on the same battleship, has probably been forgotten.At that time, Kato was the chief of staff of the United Fleet and was the number two figure in the fleet.He was an expert in artillery, and the proper use of Japanese naval artillery was an important factor in victory.It can be seen that Kato played an important role in Japan's victory in the Sea of ​​Japan naval battle.

It took decades for the Japanese navy to rely on the victory of the Tsushima sea battle, and the navy climbed from the second in ten thousand years to be able to sit almost on an equal footing with the army's big brother. In addition to the army, there is also a name of "the emperor's chief of staff". Apart from the chief of staff of China, there is no other place that is more powerful than the Navy.The navy's reputation, beautiful military uniforms, and men's natural yearning for machinery have always been what young people yearn for, but now, the navy is a place where corruption runs rampant, and the Siemens incident has made the navy look ashamed.Now, it was defeated by the extremely weak China Navy in the Yellow Sea battle, and several capital ships were dragged back to the military port as spoils of war.

"What a shame~" Yusaburo Kato kept rubbing his temples.

"Send the First Fleet to Qingdao!" A loud shout came from outside the door, startling Kato Yusaburo

The door of my office was roughly kicked open, and Akiyama Shinyuki appeared at the door. Akiyama Shinyuki is a native of Ehime Prefecture, a famous Japanese navy general, and a genius staff officer. The seven-stage strike and other plans became the number one contributor to the victory of the combined fleet. At that time, he was the director of the Military Affairs Bureau of the Japanese Navy Ministry and assisted Yatsushiro Rokuro.

Seeing that Kato Yusaburo did not respond, Akiyama Shinano raised his volume and said loudly: "Not only are we going, but we must go to Qingdao now. The honor of the Imperial Japanese Navy does not allow us to hesitate for a moment, otherwise, this matter It will have a greater impact than the Siemens incident."

"But~" Kato Yusaburo hesitated, he had already received some telegrams from Major General Toizaki Yasuzo, and knew that the China Navy had submarines and seaplanes.If it is a contest of surface ships, the cruisers of the China Navy are almost negligible compared with the Japanese combined fleet, but submarines and seaplanes are a troublesome matter.

The Governor's Mansion in Qingdao's Dezhi era is located at the southern foot of Zigner Mountain (Signal Mountain). It was designed by German architect Mark and supervised by Strasser.Because it is the official residence of the governor of Jiaoao, Germany.Therefore, it is commonly known as "admiral's building".When the First World War broke out, Japan replaced Germany and occupied Qingdao, and the Governor's Palace became the garrison headquarters of the Japanese army stationed in Qingdao.

This is a German castle-style building with European royal style. It has elegant shape, luxurious decoration, graceful outline, magnificent colors and magnificent momentum. The walls are based on yellow, partially decorated with granite stones, and the stone surface processing is rough. The main entrance wall is decorated with light green and light gray granite stones, and the top stones are carved with beautiful patterns.The roof of the building is paved with beige tube tiles, blue fish scale tiles and green ox tongue tiles, making the building more exquisite and unique.

Germany has successfully completed the transfer of Shandong's trade center from Yantai to Qingdao by taking advantage of One Port and One Road.The first round of urban planning and construction of the Jiao'ao Governor's Mansion in Germany has been basically completed.Ports, railways, running water, power plants, hospitals, churches, factories... A modern city with complete facilities has sprung up.One port, all the way to one city, one ocean, the Germans created a specific and small city of Berlin here completely according to the Western model.

Now, although the Governor's Mansion in Jiao'ao is still a solid German-style building, it has been listed as "Qingdao Garrison Command of China". , machine guns were mounted in the fortification, and Chinese soldiers wearing steel helmets looked around vigilantly.
