July 17, 1923, Tangshan City, Zifengshan County, Liaoning

The sound of the cannon roared suddenly and then the earth-shaking shouts of killing sounds were heard.

Since yesterday morning, it has started to rain heavily in the area of ​​Phoenix Mountain. There is still no sign of ketone. In the muddy mountains, the National Wehrmacht infantry launched another charge in the rain. The target of their attack was Tangshancheng, a town on the South Manchurian Railway branch. It is the location of the division headquarters of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army and the only stronghold of the Japanese Korean army on the north bank of the Yalu River! The remaining part of the 14th Division of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army was entrenched in a trench around Tangshancheng, and the despair was underway. 38 Kanshu.com] Please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!

The commander of this remnant soldier is the commander-in-chief of Lieutenant General Suzuki Takao, the commander of the 14th Division. The commander of the 13th Division, Kitaro Inoue and his division headquarters lost contact after the Chinese army raid began. The guns and cannons in the area of ​​Bianmen Town where the 13th Division was located completely stopped on the night of July 13. It is estimated that all the Japanese troops in that area have been broken into gods!

Now, it is the turn of the 14th Utsunomiya Division established at the end of the Russo-Japanese War. The jade is broken! Suzuki Takao sighed softly, then raised his telescope and looked out of the command center. The Chinese soldiers were charging against the Japanese machine gun fire. Many people were hit and fell into the mud and water. The rest were still struggling forward. The one in the front had already rushed into the Japanese army's dilapidated frontier position. The bayonet was shining with cold light, and it was shining. "Please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!

The Japanese counter-charge also began. When the Japanese army saw a Japanese captain wielding his sword and jumping out of the trench and rushing towards the Chinese army. Then more Japanese officers and soldiers climbed out of the trench. The trench was the last barrier of Tangshan City. Once Tangshan Town was lost, it would be impossible to defend. As for the walls of Tangshan City, they had been almost dismantled by the heavy artillery of the Chinese army. The Japanese army is now struggling to death. All the soldiers who can move have been filled in. The staff of the division headquarters have also been on the front line. The cannons have long disappeared. The positions of the 13th Regiment of the Field Cannon and the 14th Regiment of the Field Cannon were no longer in Tangshan City. They could not contact them in the early morning of the 13th. I don’t know if they were destroyed by the heavy artillery of the Chinese army or were taken down by the Chinese infantry? In short, it does not exist. Now there are only a few mortars that are randomly bombarded with one or no guns. It is considered to show the existence of the Japanese artillery?

Without artillery firepower, the Japanese army could only fill the defense of Tangshan Town. At first, the remnants of the two divisions were gathered around Tangshan Town. More than 12,000 people were left behind. After four days of hard fighting, more than 9,000 people have fallen on this mountain. Looking around from the height of Tangshan Town, the green mountain has been burnt black. The mountains and valleys are covered with corpses in yellow military uniforms, most of which are the corpses of Japanese officers and soldiers!

A ragged Japanese correspondent rolled and crawled into Suzuki's command center. He didn't know how to salute, so he directly reported, "The commander of the division... the vanguard of the Chinese army, the vanguard of the Chinese army has crossed the Yalu River to occupy... the occupation of Shinyiju! And they have also established a provisional government of the Republic of Korea, and the North Korean rebellious tycoon was appointed as the interim president of the Republic of Korea!"

"What? Is there such a thing?" Suzuki Takao was stunned for a moment, his eyebrows tightly flicked. It was expected that the Chinese army broke through the Yalu River defense line. The 13th Division and the 14th Division were broken. There were only two divisions left in the entire Korean army. One of them was deployed on the Sino-Japanese (North Korea) border near the east coast of the Korean Peninsula. Another division was originally defending the central part of the Sino-Japanese (North Korea) border. There was no time to transfer west in a hurry, so the border line in the lower reaches of the Yalu River was almost unprepared. It was normal for the Chinese army to take the opportunity to break through. However, it was a bit unexpected for the Chinese to build a temporary government of the Republic of Korea!

"Secretary Commander, it seems that the Chinese are going to fight the empire to the end!" The person who spoke was Colonel Kita Issei, the chief of staff of the 14th Division. This Japanese devil, who was originally fat and big-eared, lost weight in a few days. His military uniform felt a little loose when he wore it on his body.

Suzuki Takao's face was not good-looking. If China and Japan were to fight to the end, it meant that the disciple would not come soon! Then less than 3,000 Japanese troops in Yushan City could not escape and die. Although Suzuki Takao kept the shattered jade every day in the past two days, he still hoped that he could lose his life! Now he was completely desperate.

He whispered: "Kim Kita, it seems that there is no hope. In recent years, the empire has implemented harsh rule in North Korea. More than 10 million Koreans are like a long-depressed volcano. Now it is time for a full eruption! We really shouldn't have fought the Yalu River and Ai Manchu, and North Korea will be ruined... It seems that we are all sinners of the empire, and we can't enter the Yasukuni Shrine even if we die, right?"

At this moment, the earth-shaking cheers suddenly came to mind. It was the sound of "Long Live" in Chinese. Suzuki Takao turned his head and looked at it. He saw a flag with blue sky, white sun and red all over the ground. It had been inserted into the last trench outside the city of Tangshan! Chinese soldiers wearing yellow military uniforms were constantly rushing into this small mountain city along the ruins of the city walls of Tangshan City.

Suzuki Takao smiled bitterly and looked at Kita Issei "Kita, our time is up, please help me introduce it!"

On the evening of July 17, 1923, the remnants of the 14th Division of the 13th Division, which belonged to the Japanese Korean army, were wiped out in Tangshancheng Town, Fengcheng County! On the same day, the First Division of the First Army of the Chinese National Defense Force crossed the Yalu River and occupied the Xinyizhou blue sky and white sun on the ground. The red flags and Tai Chi flags floated on the city walls of Xinyizhou at the same time!

...

At the same time, two British E-type submarines flying the Chinese Navy flag also quietly drove out the heavily guarded Qingdao Military Port in a drizzle.

Feng Yundong, who has already been appointed as the commander of the Chinese Navy Submarine Command, was wearing a waterproof operating suit and stood on the bridge of the submarine. He leaned outside with a high-power telescope and was watching the two R-class destroyers of the Lushun Military Port regiment.

Jiang Mosan, the new captain of the No. 001 submarine, climbed up from the submarine cabin when Rust and said to Feng Yundong with a smile: "Commander Feng's radio station just received the news that the 14th Division of the Japanese 13th Division has been wiped out, and the First Army of the National Defense Forces has already attacked the Yalu River!"

"I understand." Feng Yundong nodded expressionlessly and was still concentrating on observing the two destroyers in the port.

Jiang Mosan looked in the direction pointed by Feng Yundong's telescope and saw two warships hiding in the heavy rain. It was very blurry and he frowned slightly, "Why are there two military ships?"

"These are two R-class destroyers!" Feng Yundong said

"** and Pu Shu? When did they come to Qingdao?" Jiang Mosan was stunned for a moment, took the telescope from Feng Yundong and looked at the two warships. It turned out to be an R-class destroyer.

"It must have been here last night, right?" Feng Yundong smiled and shook his head. "When the Yangtze River Estuary is about to fight, they actually slipped to Qingdao. What was the Navy planning..."

Jiang Mosan had already put down his telescope at this time. "Yizhi has nothing to do with us, don't think about it, just make up the matter of sneak attacking the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet. The information said that there were hundreds of warships, and there were more than a dozen battleships and battlecruisers alone! If they were flooded into the estuary of the Yangtze River, they would have to be bombarded with rubble!"

Feng Yundong snorted and looked at Jiang Mosan with anxiety on his face and said, "Look, you are so anxious that you bought a house in Shanghai? It's not that the Japanese ships in Yangshupu and Pudong cannot bombard your house."

Jiang Mosan gritted his teeth and said, "How about not being in a hurry! The newspapers say that the housing prices in Shanghai are now diving every day! The war has fallen by 50% now! I have saved money for three years to make up enough of the house I bought with my first loan... This time it fell and turned into a negative asset! I am going to go bankrupt!"

Feng Yundong gave up his eyes and said with a smile: "It cannot be broken. When you attack torpedoes, aim a little and sink a few more Japanese battleships. Isn't it going to be launched? A battleship can be worth 100,000 yuan (bonus)!"

"It's light! The battleship is not a merchant ship, it has thick armor and waterproof compartment. It can't even sink a few torpedoes."

While the two were talking, they heard the voice of the communication officer coming out of the submarine cabin. "Captain Feng, I received a telegram from the French warship report that four Japanese battlecruisers and eight destroyers had just passed through the Tsushima Strait and headed towards Shanghai! The current location is xx east longitude, xx north latitude, and a speed of 15 knots."

Feng Yundong patted Jiang Mosan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Mosan, have you seen it? The money is delivered to the door! Go down and calculate where we can intercept them."

Jiang Mosan's calculation is excellent. After a little careful calculation, he already got the answer. "There are about 420 nautical miles from the estuary of the Yangtze River. At a speed of 15 knots, it is hard to say if you can take a font-shaped route. It will take about 40 hours."

"We must have taken a font-shaped route," Feng Yundong thought for a while and said, "We can reach 15 knots of floating voyages. It only takes more than 200 nautical miles from Qingdao to the estuary of the Yangtze River. It seems that if we are lucky enough to ambush the middle, we can kill a Japanese armored cruiser!"

"Then I won't care about the estuary of the Yangtze River?" Jiang Mosan asked retortly?"

"It doesn't matter, there is a minefield there, and the Japanese will not be able to break through for a while," Feng Yundong paused and said, "And there are too many Japanese ships there. If our two submarines forcefully break into their core, they will not be able to get out even if they sink the Japanese battleship! I can't do such a deal, and I will still have to keep my life as the Minister of the Navy Command!"

...

With a long whistle, a steam locomotive produced by China** Industrial Group drove several short cars into Shanghai North Railway Station. Following the train, there was also a train full of heavy artillery. There was a total of 36 flatbed cars in the middle of the two locomotives, one in front and one behind. Each flatbed car was placed on it with a giant cannon wrapped in a cannon suit! Judging from the thickness of the barrel alone, the caliber of these giant cannons must have exceeded 200mm. It should be the 1917 220mm heavy howitzer introduced from France before the war started?

The eyes of celebrities from all walks of life in Shanghai and senior officers of the Shanghai National Defense Forces who welcomed Chang Ruiqing on the platform were attracted by the giant cannons of this train. Only General Lu Yixuan, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou Guard, stood there calmly and reservedly, and could still see a hint of anxiety from the calmness on the surface. The Japanese combined fleet was dispatched. Now it can be confirmed that there are as many as 15 battleships and cruisers deployed! None of them can be dealt with by this French 1917 220mm heavy howitzer! Although he has not learned the navy, he still understands the principles of armor protection used by the navies of various countries. In theory, battleships and battleships are used by the navies of various countries.

The armor must be able to withstand the bombardment of its own main gun! The main gun caliber of the 15 Japanese battleships and battle cruisers is greater than 305mm! Although they may not be able to withstand the bombardment of 305mm caliber heavy artillery, these 220mm heavy howitzers, as well as the 7-inch cannon powerful cannons from the Wusongkou turret of the Takahashi Fort, and even the 240mm fortress cannons, are they unable to sink or severely damage them. Once these Japanese battleship battlecruisers rushed into the estuary of the Yangtze River, the prosperous Shanghai beach will probably turn into ruins! Alas, why is this Chairman of the Standing Committee not in a hurry at all? His face is still full of joy. Could it be that he really doesn't know how powerful the Japanese Navy is?

Chang Ruiqing had already taken a ticket from the train with a ticket, and saw him wearing a straight military uniform of the National Defense Army Marshal, and his gold blue sky and white sun medal was hung on his chest. His face was full of unconcealed smile and shouted at the crowd who came to greet him: "Tell everyone good news! Just today, our invincible National Defense Army has achieved four more important results! The 14th Division of the 13th Division of the Japanese Korean Army and the 20th Division of the 19th Division of the Japanese Far East Army have been completely wiped out! Now our Second Army has crossed the Yalu River and inserted the flag of the blue sky and white sun on the top of the city of Shinyizhou! The five armies of our Fifth Army and the five armies of the First Army are chasing the remaining soldiers of the four divisions of the Japanese Far East Army. It is estimated that they will be wiped out soon!"

"Long live the National Defense Force!" "Long live the Standing Committee!" A group of celebrities and gentry on the platform, Shanghai were all beautiful. After Chang Ruiqing finished speaking, someone began to take the lead and shouted long live! Chang Ruiqing waved at these people with a leader-like temperament and then walked to Lu Yixuan and Lu Yixuan saluted him. Chang Ruiqing smiled and grabbed the hand of his confidant general, and smiled: "Zixiu, the battle of Shangheng should be the last battle in this war! Now the Japanese are defeated in the Far East of Manchuria and North Korea. As long as we defeat them once again in Shangheng, we can defeat Japan!"

After saying that, he walked side by side with Lu Yixuan to a VIP channel arranged by the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou Guard Command and the Shanghai Gendarmerie Command guarded there with full armed forces. Except for Chang Ruiqing and Lu Yixuan, no one was allowed to pass.

After entering the VIP channel, Lu Yixuan sighed and couldn't hide his worry expression. Chang Ruiqing smiled and said, "Zi Xiu, there are four 220 heavy artillery regiments and five 155 cannon regiments today and tomorrow. They will arrive in Shanghai. The heavy artillery of Takahashi Fortress and Wusongkou Fortress. Our firepower is not weaker than that of the Japanese Combined Fleet."

When Lu Yixuan heard Chang Ruiqing's words, he smiled bitterly and said, "Chairman, you are wrong this time! The firepower of the Japanese Combined Fleet is much stronger than ours! Our firepower is enough to bully the Japanese army, but it really cannot deal with other people's navy! We do not have super-large caliber heavy artillery above 300mm."

Chang Ruiqing laughed: "Brother Zixiu, don't worry, the estuary of the Yangtze River has been blocked with shipwrecks and mines. There are also our submarine activities in Donghe. The Japanese cannot get in."

Lu Yixuan smiled bitterly: "There will be a time when the mines are cleared. The shipwreck will be picked up by the Japanese sooner or later. At that time, they only need to leave a few old battleships and battle cruisers to destroy our Takahashi Wusongkou Fortress. At that time, this big Shanghai will probably turn into rubble."

"Zixiu, how much time are you sure to stay? Can you go until September?" Chang Ruiqing asked

"September?" Lu Yixuan frowned. He didn't know what the special significance of this time was? Could it be that in September, the Japanese had to go home before they entered the Yangtze River?

"Can you stay until September?" Chang Ruiqing asked again.

"There is no big problem. It's almost late July now. I can always defend it for more than a month or ten days." Lu Yixuan thought silently. "It takes time to clear the mines, salvage the wrecks, and compete for the three islands of Hengsha, Changxing, Chongming."

Chang Ruiqing nodded and asked again: "How is the situation of Wusongkou Fortress and Takahashi Fortress? Is it solid enough? Can it withstand the bombardment of Japanese battleships' ships?"

"Of course it is impossible. These two fortress main protective fortifications can only defend against 305mm caliber naval guns at close range. If the 356mm naval gun is opened 20 kilometers away, how many shots can be carried," Lu Yixuan said, "But their Nagamun-level equipment has a 410mm caliber naval gun with a range of up to 30 kilometers! If the Japanese really tried to use Nagamun-level penetration defense, the fortresses in Wusongkou and Takahashi would not be able to withstand a few shots at all."

Chang Ruiqing still looked confident, "They are reluctant to let it go. How difficult is it for Japan to save a Nagato-level? Primary school students across the country donated their pocket money. If our mines and torpedo boats are sunk casually, do you want their joint fleet commander to explain?" (To be continued
