The Chinese ** team broke through most of the positions outside Qingdao in less than a day, annihilating more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers, while the Chinese lost less than 500 people. This huge result shocked the world.
It took Japan more than a month to attack the German-guarded Qingdao with ten times its troops, and it also cost tens of thousands of people losses. Compared with China's record, Japan's record that year was simply not worth mentioning.
Moreover, the current defense of Qingdao of the Japanese army is far more crazy than that of Germany. The permanent fortifications are stronger, deeper, and have more people. However, Japan has no ability to resist the sharp attack from China. Even those who risk their lives
The attack was able to barely block it, but soon these craziest Japanese soldiers turned into a pile of meat, which did not change the situation on the battlefield at all.
All military observers paid great attention to the Qingdao War. This was a test of the new weapons that emerged after World War I. The war situation had begun to change. In World War I, the defensive capabilities outweighed the offensive capabilities, forcing all countries to
Falling into trench warfare, with the emergence of the air force and armored forces, offensive weapons became more and more powerful, and the originally seemingly insurmountable defense line turned into a piece of paper.
How to fight the war is a problem that all military strategists must solve. Germany, which was defeated in World War I, had already cooperated with China. The German army staff worked with Chinese officers to formulate combat policies and felt the new tactical leadership.
The terrifying power that comes.
In wars between major powers, the victorious party is often complacent, stubborn, and completely defeated in the next war. For example, Germany and France are old enemies. Germany defeated France in the Franco-Prussian War, and when
In World War I, Germany did not make much strategic progress and was eventually dragged to death by France. In World War II, the French were superstitious and their experience in World War I was easily crushed under the feet of the Germans.
Nowadays, the Germans are just beginning to be courageous after realizing their shame. The Germans are studying crazily about the advantages of China and are preparing to use these tactics in Europe to completely defeat Britain and France in the next confrontation. The weight of China in the hearts of the Germans
It is becoming more and more important, and what follows is that the cooperation between China and Germany will become deeper and deeper.
Of course, war is the best manifestation of strength. China's display of muscles in Shandong naturally attracted the attention of the great powers, especially the upcoming Washington Conference, which is mainly to coordinate the powers in the Asia-Pacific region. China's increasing strength has changed from a piece of fat to a
As a force that can constrain regional balance, this quiet change gives China bargaining capital.
The Americans just want to curb Japan's expansion of power, and are also trying to shake Britain's world hegemony. China can help the United States in this regard. China has a vast demobilization area. It can threaten India on its southwest border and threaten North Korea on its northeastern border. Although its navy is not yet good enough,
But the army can definitely give Japan and Britain a headache, and the United States has another good card in its hands.
This attack efficiency not only surprised foreigners, but also shocked China. Now all the senior generals in Beijing City gathered together to discuss how to deal with the situation at hand. Jiang Baili personally explained the current situation.
"Our army broke through Japan's three peripheral positions one after another in one day, annihilating more than 3,000 enemies. If we advance more than ten kilometers, we can invade Qingyi City with just a little more effort. The situation is extremely favorable to us. Now according to our
The intelligence shows that Kamio Mitsuomi has asked Japan for help. Japan is now mobilizing its troops, and the combined fleet has also entered a state of combat readiness. It can send troops to assist Qingdao immediately!',
"Prime Minister, at this moment we should speed up the attack, completely wipe out the Qingdao Japanese army, and seize Qingdao before the Japanese reinforcements arrive!" Cao Yin said from the side, his face also full of ruddy color.
, "We in China have been bullied by Japan for so many years. Now that the Prime Minister can finally give Japan a head-on blow, it is a good start!",
What Cao Wan said is still very reasonable. Qiao Yu has just taken over and was able to take back Qingdao, which is also a testament to the people of the country. Qiao Yu's government will also be more stable, but now is not a good time.
"I don't advocate taking Qingdao as soon as possible. The initiative in Qingdao is now in our hands. We can take it at any time, but the meaning for Japan is different. If Qingdao is still there, Japan's army and navy will
They will be continuously attracted here, and we will wait for work and destroy as many as we come. If Qingdao is captured by us, Japan will definitely attack China crazily, or even launch a full-scale war, and the gain will not be worth the loss!"
Jiang Baili also nodded and agreed with Qiao Yu's judgment, so he also said: "Our goal in the Qingdao battle is to gain strategic initiative and demonstrate our strength. If we capture Qingdao too quickly, we will lose this role. Without Qingdao
As a bait, it actually loosens restrictions on Japan. They can use the combined fleet to attack our coastline, and they can also attack the Northeast from North Korea. As long as this happens, we will inevitably go into full-scale war with Japan, and that will not be good at that time.
Cleaned up!',
Jiang Baili and Qiao Yu's worries are justified. Now that Qingdao is attracting firepower, Japan's power will be contained here. As long as China can hurt Japan and cooperate with the great powers, it can also bring Japan back to the negotiating table.
, Japan will go completely crazy after losing Qingdao. Once the coastline is blocked, it will be a fatal blow to China's economic development. It would be even worse to start a war in the Northeast. China's plan to regain the Northeast has gone bankrupt. Now China can only
If he could concentrate his efforts on dealing with one country, between Soviet Russia and Japan, Qiao Yu would undoubtedly choose Soviet Russia. An island country like Japan has limited development potential. Time is on China's side. The longer it is delayed, the less advantage Japan will have.
Russia is different. Its territory is still larger than China's, and it has a majority party in power. It is definitely a strong opponent. It is the best choice to solve the far-reaching problem while the polar bear is weak.
"Everyone, we hope to control the scale of the war, but once the Japanese become crazy, it will be absolutely unreasonable. Therefore, we still need to prepare for a full-scale war at this moment. All armies must be mobilized. The important areas of Beijing and Tianjin must be on alert, and the arsenals must also be on guard.
To step up production, coastal provinces, especially major ports and terminals, must be prepared for war. If necessary, coastal people must move in large numbers to guard against Japan's crazy attacks!"
Qiao Yu does not believe that Japan will launch a full-scale war against China at this time. Japan's war machine is far from ready, and the United States, Britain and other countries have imposed various restrictions. Japan and China will only end up in a head-to-head confrontation. Both sides will lose, and China is like this.
Even if Japan is hit hard, it can still recover, especially since China's current military industry is all concentrated in Sichuan, Hubei and other places, and Japan is simply out of reach. However, as long as Japan loses a battle, the social wealth accumulated since the Meiji period will completely collapse.
Japan was also removed from the list of great powers.
Of course, when preparing, you must think from the worst perspective. If you play according to common sense, you will not be the Japanese. The military has also reached a consensus on this point. The military must be ready for war at any time. To avoid war, it is not
Compromise but tyrannical strength.
After receiving Qiao Yu's order, Shandong took the initiative to slow down the attack speed, but still relied on air superiority to continuously bombard the Japanese positions, killing and injuring effective forces, which put huge pressure on the Japanese army in Qingdao.
Japan is also extremely concerned about the war in Qingdao, especially when Yuan Jingzheng heard that the Japanese army was beaten with corpses everywhere, they could not accept this fact. In their impression, the Japanese imperial army was invincible in the world.
Those guerrillas can only threaten Japan with cold guns and cold runs. If they confront Japan head-on, these cowards will definitely be crushed by the powerful Japanese army.
But the cruel reality taught them a lesson. An army that can compete with the Japanese army has emerged on the ground in East Asia. The Japanese side cannot but be frightened. The two elders of Japan's political arena, Shanxian Youpeng and Xi
Enodera Gongwang finally sat together. It was no longer up to Prime Minister Hara Kei to decide how to deal with the situation at hand. The elders had to step forward.
At this time, Youpeng in Shanxian County was over eighty years old. On the surface, he was just a rotten old man in his twilight years, but a glimmer of light flashed from time to time in his cloudy old eyes, which still declared that this old man would die even if he only had one breath.
The most powerful person in Japan.
"Saionji-kun, you have been to China, and you have also reached a joint plan with Qiao Yu to carve up the Russian Far East. I believe you must know Qiao Yu's situation very well. He is a young man who is ambitious and has a clear understanding of the world.
, Cooperating with such a person is the most dangerous, especially for someone who controls the fate of China in his right hand. As early as the reign of Emperor Akechi, Japan had already established a plan to do everything possible to weaken China and eventually annex China. China is too big.
No matter what kind of injury you get, you can recover, and there are not many opportunities for Japan, but it is your stupidity that allows Qiao Yu to develop and grow, and the interests of the Far East are far away, and we are tasting the bitter fruit now!"
The cooperation with Qiao Yu was indeed advocated by Xiyuanji Gongwang, but it also got the support of Shan County. This is a matter that involves the fundamental strategy of Japan. How could it not be approved by Shan County Youto? This old guy is also stupid.
, now he came to teach Xiyuan Temple Gongwang a lesson, but Xiyuan Temple was indeed in the wrong and could only listen.
"There is no way to change the past. Let's discuss how to deal with the strange situation in front of us. Do you think we should abandon the Far East now and concentrate on destroying Qiao Yu's power?"
Youpeng from Shan County had a look of disdain on his face and snorted softly: "We have invested 100,000 troops in the Far East. Can we easily retreat? Moreover, the Far East is indeed the best entry point to solve the resource problem. Since we have decided to occupy
, you can’t let go, otherwise how can you explain to His Majesty!”
"As for the large-scale attack on China, it depends on the intentions of the great powers. Don't forget that all our steel and oil must be imported from the great powers. As long as the great powers cut off supplies, we will not be able to survive. Now let the combined fleet strengthen assistance to Qingdao, and pass
The support from the sea will push back the Chinese! The next step is not to start a war blindly, but to carefully study our opponents and know ourselves and the enemy. We know too little about China!"
The old thief from Shan County said so many words in one breath, and his energy was consumed a lot. His face turned slightly red. He can become the most powerful elder in Japan. His knowledge is indeed good, but he still made the usual mistake of Japan.
His mistake was greed and not being able to see himself clearly. Because of greed, he did not want to give up the Far East. Because he had no self-awareness, he tried to change the battlefield situation with a few giant ships, which caused Japan's combined fleet to suffer its first defeat.dd
