"Honestly, I'm worried that this is not a retreat by the Japanese, but a delaying tactic by them."
Jiang Baili couldn't help but say that just a few months after the war, Fengjun was far from recovering his strength, and this was the time when he was attacking the highest authority. It was really inappropriate for Fengjun to start another war with the Japanese.
However, Zhang Tinglan insisted on fighting at all costs. Jiang Baili was very puzzled at first, but when Zhang Tinglan revealed his thoughts, Jiang Baili had to agree.
Only by fighting can we make peace. Although Fengjun was not ready, he still had the majesty of a great victory. The Japanese had not yet emerged from the shadow of defeat. Although they had rebuilt several divisions, their combat effectiveness was far from enough.
Formed. After suffering heavy losses, the combined fleet may not dare to fight in China's offshore waters.
The two sides are fighting wolves with straw, and both sides are afraid. Based on this judgment, Zhang Tinglan decided to take a gamble and put on a war posture to force the Japanese to abandon Qingdao. This is of course a very risky proposition, but it also means that after success,
, the harvest is also amazing.
Now that the Japanese have made a request for negotiation, things have begun to develop as expected, but Jiang Baili's reminder is also very reasonable, so Zhang Tinglan smiled and said: "No matter what tricks the Japanese have, we must maintain enough pressure, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
We can make contact with the Japanese, but the military preparations must not stop for a moment. Another tank regiment and an artillery regiment will be transferred to the border."
Zhang Tinglan thought for a while and then said: "If you want to scare people, you have to get some real people and send armored trains and siege artillery."
Since the seizure of Russian armored trains, Fengjun has also carried out related research and development. It has recently produced eight armored trains, each equipped with a 76mm cannon at the head and tail. Twenty heavy machine guns are equipped on the carriages, four of which are
It is a special modification, it is dual-purpose, and has certain air defense capabilities, let alone against infantry and cavalry.
To put it bluntly, an armored train is a moving fire hedgehog. Although the armored train has quite a few disadvantages, it is undeniable that it still has great uses. And if you want to fight the Japanese army in Shandong, you must control the glue.
Jinji Railway, armored trains are artifacts for controlling railways.
Armored trains not only have great practical value, but also have a great deterrent effect. Taking them out now will naturally put pressure on Japan and make them believe that Fengjun is really preparing for a war. Accompanying the two armored trains heading south
, and eight 240mm howitzers that were mobile on the railway. On the Korean Peninsula, this kind of artillery had already shown its power, and they were all sent out at this time, also to increase the pressure on the Japanese.
The strengthened Fengjun took more proactive actions in Shandong. Li Jinglin commanded the troops and surrounded Jinan from three sides, leaving only one way for the Japanese in the city to escape to Qingdao.
Of course, this seems to be the only way out, but it is not that easy. The people in Shandong have been organized along the Jiaoji Railway. There are an amazing number of militia troops who can sabotage the railway and blow up the bridge at any time. Not to mention Fengtian
It still firmly holds the advantage in the air, and fighter jets and bombers may blow up the road at any time.
While Li Jinglin was actively preparing for the war, Huang Xiansheng followed Zhang Tinglan's order and led the tank regiment to the outskirts of Jinan. The soldiers unloaded these steel monsters from the train and lined them up, like wild beasts resurrected.
The steel roared, shaking everyone's heart.
"Captain Huang, does the commander have any instructions? When will the war begin? Brothers can't wait."
Huang Xiansheng spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I'm also looking forward to starting a war, but I heard that we are in contact with the Japanese and trying to get them to hand over Shandong peacefully. I just don't know if the little Japs will be obedient."
"Alas!" Li Jinglin sighed: "I have gathered all my energy and wanted to fight in Shandong, but I took the flag from the students to fight every battle. Who knew these Japanese were actually cowards?
Wow, this is so unreasonable! Are we, tens of thousands of troops, just staring at those little devils in the city?"
"When the commander-in-chief came, he had special instructions. Of course we can't make things easier for the Japanese. The commander-in-chief has already authorized it. As long as we don't fire the first shot, we can do whatever we want. It's best if the Japanese can't bear it and give up on their own initiative.
Jinan, the next step is Qingdao, if this can be achieved, all that is left is negotiation!"
When Li Jinglin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. Zhang Tinglan's order opened up a new way of thinking for him. Fighting does not mean fighting on the battlefield with real swords and guns. Other measures can be taken to make the Japanese uncomfortable.
.
He walked around on the ground a few times, and then said with a smile: "Captain Huang, you have to work hard. The tank regiment will go to Jinan City for me immediately, so that all the Japanese in the city can see it, and scare the courage out of them!"
Huang Xiansheng hurriedly nodded in agreement. He led the tank regiment and immediately followed Li Jinglin's order to circle outside Jinan City. The Japanese soldiers in the city could clearly see these behemoths, and they were also shocked by this powerful war machine.
The tanks drove in, kicking up a huge cloud of dust that covered the sky and the sun. In the dust, steel behemoths rushed out ferociously. Their thick and slender muzzles showed unparalleled majesty and power. It seemed that with just one sound
With the order, Jinan's city defenses can be broken through and all the Japanese inside will be wiped out.
The huge roar was like a nightmare in the ears, lasting for a long time. While Feng Jun arranged to negotiate with the Japanese, he used all his power to harass the Japanese. This competition of wills finally began.
Since they wanted to harass and intimidate the Japanese, Fengjun would definitely not use this method. At night, Fengjun would quietly approach the Japanese positions and then light firecrackers. The sudden explosion sounded like a machine gun.
The Japanese soldiers would wake up immediately from their sleep. They hurriedly dressed and prepared to deal with the attack, but there was nothing but firecracker debris on the ground, which seemed to mock their stupidity.
This is just a child's play. If you try your best enough times, you can get by, but there are some things that are simply impossible to guard against. That is Fengjun's bombers. The roar of the engines is a very scary noise, and in later generations, people who are relatively close to the airport will be affected.
Usually some mental problems arise.
Feng Jun also used the aircraft. The bombers flew over Jinan at low altitude from time to time. The roaring sound was like thunder in the ears. Especially the Japanese military garrison that was focused on by the aircraft, the huge noise tortured the Japanese people's nerves.
, which makes people unable to sleep all night long. After a few days, everyone has panda eyes. It is simply more tiring than fighting a war.
Of course, some Japanese have become smarter. They plugged their ears with cotton and cloth strips to avoid the harassment of sounds. However, the harassment by Fengjun also escalated. The soldiers made special modifications to the wings of the aircraft.
A huge whistle was added to double the noise.
The shrill whistle kept sounding. This sound was simply indescribable. It was useless to block your ears. The sound seemed to be transmitted from the bones, and the whole person was surrounded by the sound waves. There was no way to escape. The Japanese soldiers
More and more people are suffering from insomnia. They have become more irritable than ever, and everyone is under tremendous pressure.
At night, the Feng army not only carried out these harassment operations, but also conducted various drills around the city. The sound of gunfire and bullets was so dense and fierce that the Japanese could not sleep at all.
No one knows whether the Fengjun army suddenly launched a siege campaign in the middle of the exercise, so these Japanese troops must pay more attention. Consuming their already overdrawn energy, more and more Japanese people appear to be unprecedentedly irritable and immovable.
There were loud noises, and there were more and more fights in the army. The morale of the soldiers was unstable and their morale was low.
At this time, the negotiations between China and Japan have reached a critical moment. China's attitude is very clear. Japan must return Qingdao unconditionally and withdraw all Japanese troops. The Japanese side has denied it in every possible way. They simply want to postpone it for five years, and then
Negotiate again to discuss ownership issues.
Feng Jun firmly disagreed with this unreasonable request. Zhang Tinglan continued to increase troops to the front line and set up a posture to encircle Qingdao and Jinan. In addition, Zhang Tinglan mobilized fifteen torpedo boats to go south along the coastline. Despite the small size of the torpedo boats,
However, in near-shore operations, it can often play a small role in making a big difference.
The current investigation methods are incomparable with those of later generations. Small torpedo boats are fast and small in size, making them very difficult targets to attack. The size of dozens or hundreds of tons determines that these little guys can even hide behind the waves.
Quickly approach a large warship.
Once it gets close, torpedoes are launched, which is a nightmare for large warships. The Japanese have already had a profound experience. The Nagato was almost sent to the bottom of the sea by these little things, and it is still being repaired in the shipyard.
These torpedo boats concentrated southward, making Japan's combined fleet more and more afraid to rush to China's coast. On the one hand, it mobilized troops and generals, and on the other hand, Fengjun's harassment fortifications were also strengthened. Fengjun began to throw a large number of Japanese newspapers and pictures at Jinan and Qingdao.
, printed with scenery from various parts of Japan, as well as a large number of pictures of geisha.
This suddenly aroused the homesickness of the Japanese, especially the pictures of geishas, which made the Japanese soldiers who had been depressed for a long time even more depressed. They gathered together in twos and threes, telling all kinds of dirty jokes, and then longing for
The scene after returning home.
Since throwing these photos, the amount of papyrus in the Japanese military camp has been consumed rapidly, and the speed is getting more and more alarming, and the status of the soldiers is becoming more and more confused.
The Japanese soldiers who were guarding the position suddenly heard a familiar melody coming from the Fengjun camp opposite. Folk songs from their hometown rang in their ears again. A young soldier heard the sound and couldn't help humming softly.
stand up.
"Baga!"
A Japanese officer rushed over and slapped the soldier several times. Unexpectedly, after these slaps, the soldier did not keep saying "Hey, hey" as before, but fell to the ground in pain.
He was crying and kept mumbling the name of his fiancée. Seeing this, the other soldiers also showed deep sympathy.
These movements of the Japanese army were also reported to Yuhi Mitsue, the Japanese general, who was also extremely worried. In a desperate battle with Fengjun, their chances of winning were not high at all, and Japan could no longer bear defeat.
It is precisely because of this that they can only exercise restraint as much as possible in the face of Fengjun's harassment.
This is a battle of wills, it depends on who can't stand it first. Gu Weijun leads the Chinese delegation and Japanese Foreign Minister Yasuya Uchida are also having a heated debate. Although Uchida is aggressive, he is already a bit fierce but his tone is gradually softening.
.
"Qingdao can be returned to China in advance, but in Qingdao, the Empire has a large number of overseas Chinese and has special interests. Because we require the establishment of a consulate in Qingdao, and at the same time retaining the institutions to manage overseas Chinese. In addition, the Empire also has a large amount of investment in Shandong.
These must be protected, and only if this is achieved will the empire consider withdrawing its troops from Shandong."
"Mr. Uchida, you said that a thief stole a sheep from another family, and after feeding it for a while, the sheep gave birth to a lamb. Can the lamb belong to the thief? Obviously not, the Japanese illegally occupied Shandong, and then
The immigration and investment carried out are all illegal. Since it is illegal, we have no need to protect it. Shandong must be handed over to China completely, completely and without leaving any tail."
Uchida looked angry and said loudly: "Mr. Gu, you are choosing war."
"Mr. Uchida, you are mistaken. Regardless of China's opposition, a country ran to the land of Shandong and started a war with the Germans. From the moment it sent troops, it should be clear that the Chinese people would never agree to such a thing.
of!"
Uchida and Gu Weijun obviously couldn't find any advantage in their bickering, and the defenders in Shandong were facing constant harassment from Feng Jun. The situation became increasingly unfavorable to Japan. Unless several divisions were mobilized to fight with Feng Jun in Shandong
One game, otherwise there will be no hope of continuing to control Qingdao.
The negotiations reached a deadlock again, and at this time Zhang Tinglan went to the arsenal again. No matter when it comes, war is the last resort. Only by sharpening the spear in your hand can you have a chance of winning.
"Commander, we have recently launched two new products. If used properly, the Japanese will definitely suffer a lot!" Tao Jiping introduced to Zhang Tinglan with a smile: "These are the magnetic mines we have just developed. We have already
Experiments were conducted in Peter the Great Bay, and the results were astonishing. After sinking the mines, as long as a warship passes by, the mines will be triggered and explode. If this thing is placed outside Jiaozhou Bay, and the Japanese fleet comes over,
It’s enough to cause them heavy losses in one fell swoop.”
Obviously, Tao Jiping was very satisfied with the performance of magnetic mines. Zhang Tinglan was also very happy when he heard that this kind of killer weapon had been developed.
"Well done. We have used ordinary anchor mines several times. The Japanese are already prepared. If they want to achieve results, they must be surprised. Magnetic mines are a good thing!"
Originally, magnetic mines were developed by the Germans before World War II. They once caused the British to suffer a lot. Seventeen warships were sunk by bombs. Now that Fengjun has come up with this thing, it is a rare mine.
The killer trick. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m. to read.)
