Chapter 215

The trip to the palace by the envoys from the four countries was in vain. Marshal Fang never came back. The four of them turned to the General Staff to inquire, only to find out that Marshal Fang had left Beijing. The specific whereabouts cannot be said. This is a military secret.

.

With no other choice, the four had no choice but to go to Sun Baoqi. The president said he was ill and refused to see anyone, so he turned around and went to find Tang Hualong. However, they met someone here. After being polite, when they mentioned the press conference, Tang Hualong said that all the content released was from the cabinet.

It was decided at a meeting with the military. The crimes committed by the Japanese in Tianjin must be taught the lesson they deserve.

Zhu Erdian was furious, but he didn't dare to get angry. He could only turn around and leave with a dark face to find trouble with the Japanese. The French minister was very anxious. He had just received a telegram from the country and agreed to the 10,000-ton hydraulic press. France

People should be frank

We need light mortars, infantry cannons, and light machine guns. Now that Fang Jianxiong is away, there is no one to talk about this matter. In a hurry, Kant grabbed Tang Hualong's hand and said: "Marshal Fang has the military technology our country needs.

No explanation?"

As soon as Kudashev heard this, he followed up: "There has been a call from China and they have agreed to purchase the rifles that have been returned to the country. How to deliver the goods? There should be something to say, right?"

Tang Hualong was secretly happy when he saw the two foreign devils anxious. Unexpectedly, they came in force and did not dare to say an unpleasant word. Zhu Erdian, who once had his eyes on his head, now did not dare to get angry when facing him.

Spoken.

Now France and Russia are most worried about their own affairs, whether the Japanese are fighting China to the death.

Tang Hualong said: "You two should go to the General Staff of the Ministry of National Defense and ask Chief of General Staff Chiang Kai-shek. He should know. Even if he doesn't know, he will tell you how to contact Fu Shuai." When the two people heard this, they were polite.

Then he left. The remaining one, Ryans, stepped forward with a smile on his face and said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, are you really hopeless? Don't you Chinese have a saying of repaying evil with kindness?"

Tang Hualong looked at this ghost guy in surprise and sneered: "Repay vengeance with kindness? Why repay kindness with kindness? Repay grievance with straightness."

Reigns' translator was dumbfounded. How could a Yankee know this? He didn't know who told him to retaliate with kindness. Reigns was a little surprised when he saw that the translator stopped translating. Gu Weijun happened to come in, he heard clearly, and stepped forward to translate skillfully

Only then did Reigns understand, and at the same time he said in surprise: "Your American English is very standard."

Gu Weijun smiled and said: "I studied at Columbia University in the United States." Gu Weijun was Sun Baoqi's secretary-general of the presidential office. He came in without knocking, so it was naturally something urgent. Tang Hualong said immediately: "Mr. Ryans, please go back first.

.The conflict between China and Japan will be difficult to ease this time. The Japanese army is worse than a beast."

Reigns shrugged his shoulders and turned to leave. Tang Hualong sent him out. The relationship between the United States and China was good and a new round of cooperation negotiations was underway. The Guangdong-Hankou Railway, Longhai Road, and Chengdu-Kunming Road all had American capital.

The intention is to do it. The condition is still 30 years of operating rights. Because the railway needs to be overhauled, the steel plants in Ma'anshan and Chongqing are also guaranteed.

A new phase of expansion is being prepared. All these have the involvement of American capital. Frankly speaking, Tang Hualong is very unwilling to see the large use of American capital for these important constructions. But Fang Jianxiong insisted, saying: No need

If U.S. capital comes to build infrastructure, where will the money come from? Wait for domestic funds to be raised, and don’t even think about repairing the railway for fifty years.

What Fang Jianxiong said is the truth. Just look at the Guangdong-Hankou Railway. It took decades to build it. It doesn’t matter what others think. Fang Jianxiong only needs to use the fastest speed to build a few railways that run through the east, west, north and south. This is the most important thing.

. Besides, the ownership of the railway was in the hands of the Republic of China government, and American capital could only account for 49%.

In fact, there is another most critical factor. Fang Jianxiong did not tell Tang Hualong. The short answer is that the geographical location of the United States is too advantageous. In the next fifty years, those who oppose the United States will definitely not end well. Therefore, a large number of American capital is in China.

The biggest advantage is that the United States will not be at odds with China. China wants to industrialize as quickly as possible, and the introduction of American capital is the only shortcut.

"What's the matter with the President?" Tang Hualong turned around and asked Gu Weijun. This handsome and handsome guy was said to have had an irregular private life. Tang Hualong was not very popular with him, but Sun Baoqi admired him very much and promoted him vigorously.

"The President asked the Prime Minister to move over to discuss the members of the Sino-Japanese negotiating delegation." Gu Weijun was quite respectful. When he spoke, he bent slightly and made a ready gesture.

"Aren't we having trouble with the Japanese? Why do we need to negotiate again?" Tang Hualong said casually, and then he asked and answered: "Okay, let's talk about fighting, let's talk about fighting, and prepare for a rainy day."

Tang Hualong knew very well that this state of affairs between China and Japan is expected to last for some time. The Japanese will not be easily subdued, and Fang Jianxiong also has a tough character. It might be a full-scale war. Rationally speaking, China and Japan

The outbreak of war between the two countries is detrimental to the development of the Republic of China, but from the perspective of national sentiment and the invasion of external forces, fighting is necessary. Otherwise, Japan will cause trouble for you every day, which is too annoying. Tang Hualong's understanding is still

That's right. This is how history goes. After Qingdao came Jinan, after Jinan came Northeast, after Northeast came Rehe and Outer Mongolia. The Republic of China government retreated step by step, and the Japanese government advanced step by step. Finally, a full-scale war broke out.

In Hankou, roadblocks have been piled up at the gate of the Japanese Concession. Japanese soldiers have been waiting for danger for more than a month. Since the war broke out in Qingdao, they have been cautiously on guard. As one of the lairs where Marshal Fang made his fortune, the hatred of the Japanese in the three towns of Wuhan

It was inspired by the Qingdao War. Boycotting Japanese goods was trivial. The Japanese did not dare to leave the rental community. Occasionally, if they needed to do something in the rental community, they would be followed with malicious intent. After the Tianjin incident, Wuhan students once again broke out into a huge outbreak.

During the demonstration, thousands of students blocked the entrance to the concession and shouted anti-Japanese slogans.

The Japanese consul strictly ordered the soldiers not to shoot, because an infantry regiment had been stationed there since the Battle of Qingdao just opposite the concession gate. The muzzles of the guns and cannons were pointed at the Japanese concession.

The students' march reached its climax around ten o'clock in the morning. Suddenly, it was heard from the crowd that the Chinese National Defense Forces were launching a battle to regain the Daye Iron Mine. The students cheered thunderously. The National Defense Forces took action to retaliate against Japan. They could not show weakness, so someone used

They started throwing prepared stones into the concession, and imitators quickly spread, with stones falling like raindrops on the gates of the Japanese concession.

The Japanese consul strictly ordered that no matter what happened, no shots were allowed. The Japanese soldiers could only hide behind sandbags and suffer silently without daring to poke their heads out. Humiliation was written on the faces of everyone in the Japanese concession. But only

You can bear this feeling, or you will die. It is obvious that the despicable Chinese government is using young students to stir up disputes in order to have an excuse to use troops against the concession. Mr. Consul has long seen through their conspiracy.

Ninety kilometers away, the sound of guns and artillery at Daye Iron Mine was booming. The attack on Lion Mountain was not too smooth. The Japanese army relied on the favorable terrain to resist tenaciously point by point. From the mountainside to the top of the mountain, the Japanese army, which had been prepared for a month,

They even built some solid firepower points made of steel and concrete. These firepower points were distributed in hidden areas on the mountainside and on the top of the mountain, forming a crossfire. The special operations division attacked twice, but was blocked halfway up the mountainside. The Japanese army's only two mountain guns suddenly

Fired from a concealed position, although it was knocked out by 120 mortars in just ten minutes, it also caused dozens of casualties to the special operations division.

Leng Yu, who had been watching the battle at the division headquarters command post, couldn't sit still after receiving a telegram. He led a squad of awe-inspiring people to the regiment headquarters command post at the forefront. When he saw regiment leader Li Hong, he cursed him all over his face.

: "Have you returned everything you learned in the military academy to the teacher? You clearly saw the Japanese army's firepower, why didn't you withdraw the troops first? Didn't the reconnaissance information be conveyed long ago? The Japanese army has two 75 mountain artillery, what are you thinking about?

For?"

Li Hong was from the second phase of the teaching team. His face turned red as blood after being scolded, and he lowered his head and said nothing. Leng Yu was the teacher and senior brother, so a few words of scolding were nothing. When Leng Yu finished scolding, Li Hong said: "Master,

The Japanese army has a total of six strong firepower points, and the locations of all of them have been discovered. The positions of these firepower points are very difficult, and it is difficult to destroy them with artillery from the front. The Japanese army's position is generally in the shape of an L, and the firepower points are at two diagonal points.

I decided to use a company of troops to go up from the flank and first knock out three Japanese firepower points on the left wing."

In fact, Li Hong fought very well. His fire cover was in place and his skirmishers attacked quickly, which seemed to be very methodical. He was an officer who was willing to use his brain. Regarding the Japanese mountain artillery, he might have wanted to expose the gun position actively.

Place a company of troops on the mountainside to confront the Japanese.

"I just received the order. Fushuai's special train will arrive in Hankou before dark. It will arrive in Daye tomorrow afternoon at the latest. It's up to you." Leng Yu did not interfere too much with Li Hong's command.

I won't say this anymore, just pick up the telescope and continue observing.

Li Hong's eyes were so excited by these words that he immediately rushed out of the command post after saluting. Leng Yu had a sly smile on his face and continued to observe new changes on the battlefield.

A new wave of attacks began soon. According to the instructions, the artillery regiment focused on attacking the location of the Japanese army's firepower points. Under the rain of bullets, the Japanese army's surface positions were razed to the ground.

The frontal feint attack started, and a company on the flank moved forward. A special team appeared in Leng Yu's sight, and was among the flank team. There were three people in a group, and a long tube. This latest German product was also

Only special operations divisions are equipped with one regiment, one detachment, and two flame weapons.

"Teacher, why are you here? This is a leapfrog command." Brigadier Wei appeared. This guy is from Anqing. He is a student of the short-term class of the Anqing Martial Arts Hall and one of the important participants in the bandit movement.
