Chapter five hundred and thirty seventh who scare who
The shelling operation lasted for two hours in total. The Feng army dropped a total of 1,500 tons of artillery shells on Alexandrovsk, completely razing the town to the ground. Every inch of the land was bombed, and the train
Stations, railway lines, and residential areas were all completely destroyed, and more than 300 residents were killed or injured.
The fire burned for more than two days before it stopped. Everything was burned and nothing was left. Obviously, there is no need to waste so much energy in dealing with such a small town. Fengjun played so hard and so brilliantly,
It's Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, aiming at Pei Gong.
It not only cut off the Siberian railway line, but also demonstrated the force of Fengjun to the Japanese, a naked display of military might. Just a few days ago, the Japanese were proud of their surprise attack on Fengjun's post.
Especially for several days in a row, there was no movement from Fengjun. The Japanese thought they had seen through Fengjun's trump cards. No matter how tough they were, China still did not have the courage to truly confront the powerful Japan.
When the Fengjun army weakened, the Japanese became rampant. They immediately formulated more harassment plans, mainly on the border between China and North Korea, intending to lure the Chinese troops there, and then calmly mobilize troops from Siberia. The Japanese
I am also worried that the railway lines will be cut off after the war breaks out.
However, things far exceeded the expectations of the Japanese. The more they were afraid of something, the Fengjun would come. Just when Li Jinglin was bombarding Alexandrovsk, the Fengjun held a press conference.
The spokesperson sent by Fengjun this time was Shao Piaoping. He had cooperated with Fengjun earlier, but he did not really join the Fengjun system. He also wanted to maintain his identity as a freelance reporter. However, as Fengjun successfully eliminated
After defeating Nishikawa Torajiro's army, Shao Piaoping was greatly shocked.
In the past, he had his own ideas about many things and did not fully agree with Fengjun's ideas, but the ironclad facts are before his eyes. Fengjun first defeated the Russians. Now he defeated the Japanese. China wants to become stronger.
If you don't want to be bullied, your best hope is to join the army.
Therefore, Shao Piaoping immediately joined the Political and Economic Research Association, and was appointed by Zhang Tinglan as the Minister of Culture and Propaganda. At the press conference, Shao Piaoping announced the news of the bombardment with high spirits, which immediately caused an unprecedented shock.
"Friends, it is unfortunate that the Siberian Railway suffered losses during this operation. We will contact relevant parties to repair the railway as soon as possible. However, this loss is well worth it. We have eliminated a large number of Red Russian guerrillas and ensured
It has ensured the security of the border and defended the security of the interventionist forces. Fengjun is willing to work together with all countries in the world to maintain peace in the Far East and prevent the spread of redness."
As soon as Shao Piaoping took office, he showed everyone what shamelessness means. Russian guerrillas are everywhere. Even if they want to be wiped out, how about mobilizing troops to blow up all the railways? The most annoying thing is that they pretend to be willing to repair the railways. What a genius.
Believing this, Fengjun wished that the railway would be completely cut off and then trap the Japanese to death in Chita and other places.
The people who find it most difficult to accept this news are the Japanese. They thought that after the sneak attack on Fengjun's post, Fengjun would most likely make a few protests, and the most important thing would be to sneak attack on the Japanese. As long as this way, the Japanese can continue to create troubles and attract
Fengjun's attention.
After the contest in the Far East, the Fengjun army had a geographical advantage, but it was also a disadvantage. The main industries of the Japanese were in the mainland, whether it was the Far East or North Korea. Even if it was affected by the war, it would not threaten domestic industrial production.
The situation of Fengjun is different. Their family businesses are all in the three northeastern provinces. Once they are threatened by war, their economic development will definitely be affected.
If the constant harassment continues, it will definitely be a huge and unprecedented trouble for Fengjun. The Japanese can just take advantage of it. The wishful thinking is very good, but Fengjun is not fooled at all, and directly uses the banner of dealing with the guerrillas to attack the enemy.
The Siberian Railway was cut off.
Now the game is getting bigger! Something went wrong! The Japanese were suddenly in unprecedented trouble. What to do with the garrisons in Chita and other places? Should we intervene in Russia? Should we immediately go to war with Fengjun? These are difficult questions.
Everything was put before the Japanese cabinet at once.
Hara Kei once again summoned all the cabinet members. They all looked gloomy and frowned. Even militants like Tanaka Yiichi felt a headache. Fengjun was indeed difficult to deal with.
"Gentlemen, what should we do about China's affairs? It is the soldiers and the empire who must come up with a decision. Otherwise, it will not do any good to the empire if it drags on."
Hara Jing glanced at everyone majestically, and as far as he could see, everyone lowered their heads unconsciously and did not dare to express their opinions rashly. In fact, this was also after the First World War, the Japanese finally had some money and got rid of the hardships of the past.
In a desperate state, this gangster also has a voice for democracy and freedom, especially since the current Emperor Taisho is another problem child.
Without the strong leadership of the emperor, the old-school important ministers and elders, such as Yamagata Aritomo, Matsukata Masayoshi, Saionji Konobo and others are all old and full of contradictions. There is no problem in letting them sit in the country, but if you want them to plan a war,
But there are some difficulties.
Coupled with the unfavorable situation at hand, no one is willing to take the risk of losing more than 30,000 troops before the war begins and fight to the death with Fengjun. However, not fighting will seriously affect the national prestige of the Japanese and threaten their mainland strategy.
, so the left and right are not, leaving everyone with no idea.
Tanaka Yoshiichi thought for a long time before saying: "Prime Minister, I think the empire should immediately mobilize the whole country, recruit troops, and attack Fengtian from North Korea, just like the Japanese-Qing War, to completely eliminate the huge threat of Fengjun."
Foreign Minister Uchida frowned: "The current international situation is very unfavorable to the empire. According to the latest intelligence, the United States, Britain and France have just reached a huge purchase agreement with Fengjun. Coupled with the conflicts between the empire and the United States and Britain in the Pacific, they will definitely be behind it.
Strongly supports Fengjun and even imposes an embargo on the empire. Tanaka-kun, do you think the empire can quickly defeat Fengjun without falling into a quagmire?"
Tanaka Yiichi's brows knitted into knots. He was worried about this matter, but at this time, he could not lose his momentum and said hurriedly: "Of course, we have the most loyal warriors, and there is no problem in annihilating Fengjun."
Uchida smiled and said: "I believe the warriors of the empire can do this, but at what cost? We should learn a lesson from the conflict in Outer Mongolia. The Feng army's weapons and equipment are quite complete. It will cost a lot to completely eliminate them.
The cost may even jeopardize the entire imperial strategy."
Uchida looked at Hara Kei, and then said: "The real opponents of the empire are the United States, Britain and other great powers. Only by squeezing their power out of Asia can the empire become the master of Asia. As for Fengjun, it is very unsatisfactory to spend too much effort on their behalf."
worth."
While they were arguing, Navy Minister Kato Yusaburo suddenly spoke: "I also agree with taking tough measures against China, but it does not necessarily have to use the army. The navy can also do it. We can deploy the giant ships of the combined fleet to Port Arthur.
Use strong deterrence against China."
Kato put forward this suggestion, and Hara Kei's eyes suddenly lit up. The Navy was indeed a good choice. He immediately nodded in agreement.
The Japanese cabinet finally reached a consensus, and the combined fleet dispatched the battleships Ise, Kongo, and four auxiliary ships, and sailed to Port Arthur. In addition, the Japanese also asked the army in the Far East to actively save themselves and strive to regain control of the railway.
After all, these bureaucrats in Tokyo were far away in Tokyo and did not really understand the difficulties of Japan's dispatched troops. They naively thought that they could persist. In fact, the condition of these soldiers was extremely bad.
After the Japanese came to the Far East, the first enemy they faced was the cold climate, which they could not adapt to at all. Moreover, their military expenditure was seriously insufficient, so the Japanese soldiers could only go around snatching women to vent their lust. As a result, heart diseases were prevalent in the army and the morale of the army was reduced.
Morale is very low.
Just some time ago, the majority party suddenly occupied Khabarovsk, disrupting the Japanese layout in the Far East. Although it took a lot of effort to deal with the Russians, these soldiers did not all disappear;
They were broken into pieces and turned into countless guerrilla groups, which constantly harassed the Japanese army and seriously affected their food road security.
However, they still have one hope at this time, which is to transport supplies to Chita through the Middle East Road in China. This route is relatively safe and efficient. However, the current situation of the two armies makes it impossible for the Japanese to use the Middle East Road.
To make matters worse, the Siberian Railway was interrupted again, and logistics supplies were completely cut off.
Unfortunately, it was still the coldest winter. Even if the soldiers did nothing, they had to ensure enough food and fuel every day. Otherwise, they would have to imitate those White Russians and turn into a bunch of stiff ice sculptures. How could they still fight?
Moreover, the conflict between China and Japan gave the Russians hope of driving away the Japanese invaders, and their guerrillas became more active.
"Quick, the Japanese are grabbing things in the village ahead!" A Russian boy ran while guiding the guerrillas on the route. Soon dozens of Russians ran to the entrance of a village.
Several Japanese soldiers were running out of the village. They were covered in various colorful clothes. Some of them were carrying a big fat pig, and some were dragging a fat Russian woman. They were happily walking toward
of leaving.
The Japanese who were robbing things encountered the Russian guerrillas, and the two sides immediately jumped into the battle. After all, the Japanese soldiers were well-trained and quickly picked up their guns and shot at the Russians. Two Russians were immediately killed.
But after all, the Russians had a large number of people, so the Japanese could only fight and retreat. They left the women and the fat pig behind and fled outside the village in a panic. After running a few kilometers, they suddenly fell into the snowdrift on the roadside.
There was a gunshot, and a Japanese soldier fell to the ground with a bloody hole on his temple.
Other Japanese soldiers still wanted to retaliate. At this time, gunshots were heard from another direction. They were suddenly frightened and panicked, and they hurriedly ran away. This is how it is when fighting in a strange land. The Japanese were perverse and looting without restraint.
This has intensified the resistance spirit of the Russians. Attacking teams are everywhere. They are restless, the morale of the army has plummeted, and everyone wants to go home.
The Japanese government did not understand the various problems of the Far East garrison. They still believed that they were powerful. The battleship formations of the Ise and the Kongo cut through the waves in the Yellow Sea and quickly headed towards Port Arthur. This was a symbol of Japan's force.
After Kwantung Army Commander Kawai Cao received the news, he personally led his men to welcome the arrival of two powerful warships at the dock. The Ise is the first ship of the Japanese Ise-class battleship, with a displacement of more than 31,000 tons.
An out-and-out giant on the sea, second only to the newly launched Nagato.
This battleship is definitely Japan's most deterrent weapon. From the moment it left Japan, it has been constantly reporting news about this warship to the outside world. The meaning of showing off its force is very obvious.
Just when the Ise formation was still about twenty nautical miles away from Lushun, a large dark cloud suddenly appeared in the distant sky and flew over quickly.
Gradually, the distance got closer and closer, and the officers and soldiers on the ship could already see clearly. It was Fengjun's air force formation. This time, all the bombers dispatched, a total of eighteen, hung a huge cannon under the belly of the aircraft.
bomb.
"Enemy attack!" A shrill siren suddenly sounded from the Japanese warship. Everyone panicked and entered the fighting position. However, they were disappointed to find that such a powerful warship as the Ise did not have specialized anti-aircraft weapons. They suddenly
I was dumbfounded! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
