In order to protect his own interests, Sawada Shigeru's telegrams sent back to the mainland in the past reported good news but not bad news. So why did he "report troubles" to the military this time?
The reason is very simple. The single hero's Xue Wujun showed his claws to them. Flying
Sawada Shigeru was not stupid. From the initial hesitation to the later helplessness, and then to the final determination, he had a good grasp of the position of the Fourth Division on Hainan Island, so when the soldiers headed by Kuroda Seiichiro began to fight with
When Xuebingjun made a deal in private, he not only did not object, but also pushed forward. Then, with the acquiescence of Ouyang Yun and him, the Fourth Division occupied the southwest coastal area of Qiong in a relatively alternative way.
The old Japanese had noticed that the Xue Bing Army had ill intentions towards the Fourth Division, and had taken relevant precautions, but they failed to discover the plan of "stealing the sky to change the sun". But Shan Renxiong was making active preparations to contribute to the French.
During a classic "battle", he sensed something was wrong and finally decided to fight.
At this time, the Japanese military headquarters has become the navy, because the focus of the navy's work during this period is all on "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!", and the attack on Hainan must rely on the naval fleet, so the Hainan incident first
It was shelved, and now it has been selectively forgotten. If Shigeru Sawada had not sensed the crisis and alerted Tojo, quite a few people in the Japanese military would not even think that there was a fourth division in Hainan.
Tojo originally wanted to take this opportunity to attack the navy, but instead Mitsumasa Yoneuchi turned against the general. The old Japanese was at a loss for words. He blushed for about five minutes before he calmed down and asked: "Gentlemen, the fourth
Everyone must know the combat strength of the division. If the student army really launches a counterattack, they are no match at all? Can we just watch their entire army be destroyed?"
"I heard that General Sawada organized troops to build considerable fortifications in the occupied areas. With these, couldn't they hold on for two months? As long as they can hold on for two months, when the combined fleet comes back from the Pacific, we will
We can launch a full-scale attack and occupy the entire Hainan Island in one fell swoop!" said a naval general.
"It's unrealistic! Gentlemen, don't forget how Jiangshan City and Pingyang County fell. The Chinese have a large-scale fire-breathing force, and this is the nemesis of the underground fortifications!"
The reason why the Navy has been willing to keep the Fourth Division in Hainan Island to wait for death is partly because it can smuggle semiconductor components from the military army, and also because it hopes to use it as a springboard to attack Hainan Island. Mitsumasa Yoneuchi thought for a while
The final decision was: "Let them try to resist, and if it doesn't work, withdraw. The Fourth Division is not good at fighting, but its ability to survive in adversity is first-rate. As far as I know, General Sawada detained at least six ships carrying supplies.
——Hmph! Maybe he has thought of this day for a long time!"
This was the first time for many people here to hear of such a thing. Someone from the Navy immediately responded: "Is there such a thing? As far as I know, the base camp has received the most victory telegrams since last year than the Fourth Division."
, even His Majesty the Emperor often says, 'Fortunately, the Empire still has an extraordinarily brave and capable army' - if they were asked to withdraw, how would we answer His Majesty's question?"
"Isn't the Osaka Fourth Division good at repairing fortifications? Let them go to Sumatra. Mr. Koizumi is lacking such people!"
…
De Gu and others had originally made up their minds to resist softly to the end, but after a trip to Changbai Mountain, they discovered that the Xuebing Army actually possessed such terrifying aviation strength. Many people were touched and began to seriously consider using the Xuebing Army to counterattack.
The possibility of the mainland arose. Li Tieshu was responsible for accompanying them throughout the visit. After leaving the Changbai Mountain Air Force Base, he immediately took the French to the Haikou Naval Base, and there, the French were shocked again.
Compared with the established naval powers, the scale of the Xuebing Army's naval industry is actually not worth mentioning at all. However, considering the previous reports that no country in the world can build warships on its own, look at the busy shipyards and those in the
Seeing the various types of ships lined up along the river, the French realized that the military formation of the navy was definitely not a whim, but just for fun.
There are now three shipyards in Haikou, of which the former Dafu Shipyard moved from Dongshan Island is now the largest shipyard. The shipyard now has four docks and can build two destroyers of about 2,000 tons at the same time.
and submarines or gunboats of less than 1,000 tons. To the west of the original four docks, a very large dock is under construction. If nothing else goes wrong, after the dock is completed, Xuebingjun will start construction here with completely independent designs.
and the first entirely domestically produced aircraft carrier.
"This is our No. 3 dock. Currently under construction is the No. 3 ship of the 'Hengshan-class' destroyer, 'Yandangshan'. The ship has a design tonnage of 2,356 tons, a design time of 33 knots, and equipment
One..." Navy Commander-in-Chief Chen Ce and the French stood in front of the No. 3 dock, pointing to a ship under construction and making an introduction.
Two "Yandangshan-class" destroyers have been built. On the way to Haikou by ferry, the French had already seen the figure of their own ship "Hengshan", so although they had some doubts, they did not raise any similar questions.
"Can this ship be driven?" and other relatively feeble-minded questions. Instead, it is a more obscure question: "I wonder which country the power equipment is from?"
Chen Ce replied proudly: "Of course we produce them ourselves. The ships currently built by our army, from steel plates to rivets and even naval guns and engines, have all been domestically produced."
The French were secretly surprised. After looking at each other, Lulay asked: "Commander Chen, can we board the ship and observe?"
The hull of the "Panyang Lake" has been welded, and the equipment on the ship is now being installed. Chen Ce nodded: "Of course," and then made a gesture of invitation.
After a group of people boarded the boat, Degu and others touched here and there, and then asked a few questions to the workers who were working. They soon discovered an interesting phenomenon - "Japanese?" Degu asked a worker who was working.
Workers in welding operations.
The worker listened to the translator's translation, bowed half-bowed and nodded, saying "Hai".
Now the French were even more surprised: "Really Japanese?"
Li Tieshu smiled when he saw this, took two steps forward and explained: "They are all prisoners captured by our army in previous battles. Because they have special skills, they were arranged to work here in lieu of punishment."
"Prisoners? Work in lieu of punishment?" Degu repeated these two words with a strange look on his face.
The other judges couldn't help but look at the Japanese worker carefully and found that he had no injuries on his body and his expression was "normal". They couldn't help but become more confused.
"Are they paid?" Lulay suddenly asked a more sensitive question.
Chen Ce's eyes flashed coldly, and his face remained calm: "Of course."
Degu: “Can I ask him a few questions?”
Li Tieshu sneered: "Of course."
Degu then asked the Japanese worker: "How much is your monthly salary?"
"Five Xueyuan," the Japanese worker answered honestly.
The wages of De Gu and others are also calculated in terms of academic yuan, but until now he still doesn't know how much the academic yuan is worth, so he asked: "Is it enough?"
"Enough is enough. In addition to food and clothing expenses, we still have money left to repay our debts!"
Degu's eyes widened: "Repay the debt? What debt?"
"We have committed a heinous crime against the people of our country, and of course we must repay it!"
"Oh!" The image of Ouyang Yun curling his lips and sneering came into Degu's mind, and the latter's expression suddenly became wonderful.
