Chapter two hundred and eighteen attacking the capital
(Thanks to book friend Ji for his monthly tickets for 2010!)
Japan is surrounded by the sea, and almost all heavy industries are built on the seaside. Now the Japanese Navy has been destroyed. With just a small number of coastal defense cannons, it is impossible to withstand the attack of the western Sichuan Navy. The western Sichuan Navy can directly transfer all these heavy industries.
Destroy, by then, Japan's industrial strength will retreat for decades. In a short period of time, it will no longer pose a threat to western Sichuan. In western Sichuan, it can also use this period of time to develop calmly. By the time Japan grows stronger again, western Sichuan will be strong.
It's time to meet any challenges.
"Yes, Grand Marshal! The Navy guarantees to complete this task!" Zhang Cheng, the Minister of the Navy, immediately took the order. Xiong Wu and Cai Yundu were all shocked, and they did not expect that Wang Yuze would use such a vicious method.
In other words, it may be difficult for Japan to pose a threat to China again. However, isn’t this exactly what they hope? Asia can only allow a strong man, not Japan, then it can only be China.
"In addition, the navy must do its best to force Japan to surrender. In Japan, a large amount of materials, whether industrial or daily necessities, must be transported through the sea. Cut off Japan's external channels and implement a strict blockade on Japan, and no piece of steel is allowed.
Grain enters Japan. The Japanese fishing boats dare not go out to sea to fish. I will trap Japan to death! During this period, it is inevitable that they will encounter interference from the great powers, and the navy must maintain a tough attitude!" Wang Yuze said one after another. Through the blockade
The method can greatly damage Japan's vitality. Without food, people may even starve to death. At that time, you will not be afraid that Japan will not surrender. As long as Japan surrenders, everything will be much easier, Sichuan West
You can slaughter a fierce knife on Japan, so that Japan can lose a handful of rice without stealing chickens!
"Yes, the Grand Marshal!" Zhang Cheng nodded. Wang Yuze's order was very in line with his appetite. If the navy could force Japan to surrender, it would undoubtedly greatly improve the navy's status in the western Sichuan Army. This would be the western Sichuan Navy.
The development is very favorable. After all, although the navy has few troops, it is a gold-eating beast. Every warship requires a lot of funds to be built, which is much more expensive than the army. If the navy uses it
If so much military expenditure cannot bring enough benefits to western Sichuan, it will cause criticism from others.
After the meeting, the Western Sichuan Army immediately took action. On the Navy, it began to join the supply fleet and began to supply and rest. At the same time, the dead and injured soldiers were transported back to the country, while the remaining warships continued to sail northward, preparing to follow
Wang Yuze's orders were made to plan the second step.
On the morning of April 29, major newspapers in western Sichuan published the news that the western Sichuan Navy had annihilated the Japanese joint fleet. The Japanese warships on the picture were burning and slowly sinking into the sea, which greatly encouraged the people of western Sichuan.
For decades, no one has ever lost in foreign wars. I finally built a navy, but it was wiped out by Japan last year, which seriously undermined the enthusiasm of the Chinese people. Now, the Western Sichuan Navy
The victory over the Japanese Joint Fleet undoubtedly released the originally suppressed emotions of the Chinese people, and they immediately burst out with great enthusiasm. In cities such as Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan, and Xi'an, the people spontaneously launched a variety of celebrations, and even
Many people petitioned the Western Sichuan government to defeat Japan as soon as possible and drive the Japanese army out of China.
After seeing the newspaper, the first reaction of the consuls of various countries in Chengdu was that they did not believe it. However, although the pictures in the newspaper were drawn by the newspaper themselves, the text inside introduced the process of the naval battle in detail, which made people reluctant to do so.
I don't believe the authenticity of this report. Although the Japanese Consul in Chengdu Yuichi Kawaguchi did not believe it, he still reported this belief to Kawaguchi Taro Kawaguchi future minister to China. Kawaguchi Taro also did not believe that the invincible Japanese joint fleet would fail, but
The news was also sent to Japan. Japan simply sniffed at this, believing that it was completely a rumor that western Sichuan was spreading rumors. However, that night, the severely damaged Yoshino and the Chiyoda that withdrew from the battlefield early
After returning to Japan's Sasebo Naval Base, they had to believe that the heroic Japanese Combined Fleet had really failed.
After confirming that the Japanese joint fleet was really annihilated, all countries immediately began to act. They all knew that it was inevitable that Japan would lose this war after the Japanese navy failed. For the interests of each country, diplomats from each country
They became active again, and people advocated increasing their aid to Japan to fight against western Sichuan. Some even advocated starting a war directly against western Sichuan. But some also advocated withdrawing as soon as possible to avoid being dragged into the water by Japan.
On the same day, three divisions and one cavalry army in the western Sichuan Army launched an attack on the capital. The 12th Division mainly attacked Guang'anmen. The artillery battalions of the three divisions, a total of 144 cannons were placed outside Guang'anmen.
At three kilometers, these cannons include 36 heavy howitzers that had worked hard to reach the capital after a lot of hardships. This is also the confidence of the Western Sichuan Army to attack the capital this time.
The city walls of the capital are ten meters thick, and ordinary cannons cannot be opened. The 155mm heavy artillery and armor-piercing shells can cause great damage to the city walls of the capital. If the shells are consumed and the shells are constantly being shot, it may not be possible.
There is no possibility of collapse of the city wall.
When the cannons in western Sichuan began to prepare, the Manqingxin Army guarding the city wall discovered something was wrong. When they saw the cannons aimed at the city head, the defenders' face turned pale.
The generals immediately sent people to report to the court. When the Western Sichuan Army appeared outside the capital again, millions of people in the capital were in panic. A few years ago, the Western Sichuan Army was unable to break through the capital for many reasons.
, But now with more and more ruling areas falling, this time everyone thinks that the capital is doomed. Of course, many Han people are happily waiting for the western Sichuan army to enter the city. In recent years, with the propaganda of western Sichuan
, which made the Han people truly understand western Sichuan and no longer misled by the propaganda of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the real panic in the capital city was those who were truly panicked.
Many people in the capital have discovered that the mankind men who were originally arrogant have been much more restrained recently and no longer beat and hurt people casually, and have paid for buying things. Although this is just a small one
The change still surprised the people, as if they even straightened their waists. Everyone said in private that the vast country of people may be like a rabbit's tail this time, and it cannot grow.
The court meeting on April 29 is still underway, but more and more court officials have already asked for sick leave. Everyone can see that the Qing Dynasty is about to perish now, and there is no need to follow the Qing Dynasty.
After being buried with him, only most of the Manchu ministers still attended the court meeting, which was impossible.
Empress Dowager Cixi sat in the Golden Palace with her face ashen. She had never looked normal since the Western Sichuan Army began to attack, as if someone owed her money and did not pay it back. These days, there were people in the palace almost every day.
The court officials were sentenced to death by Empress Dowager Cixi for making a mistake. This made all the court officials cautious and dared not touch her brows.
"All the families of the people, are you going to have a good idea to retreat to the enemy?" Empress Dowager Cixi asked with her spirits. When the Western Sichuan Army appeared outside the capital again, she couldn't sleep at night, fearing that the Western Sichuan Army would attack.
Entering the city, this made her, who was already old, unable to hold on at all, and she grew older and became more like an old witch.
No one answered Empress Dowager Cixi. Everyone knows that the Qing Dynasty is now terminally ill. Just waiting for the last blow from western Sichuan, the Qing Dynasty can be completely buried.
"Oh! Lao Liu! What's the situation now?" Empress Dowager Cixi sighed and said.
"Return to the Lord Lao Fo, the bandits in western Sichuan are very fierce. Our Qing army cannot resist their attack at all. Now, the cities under the control of the Qing Dynasty are less than 20% of the previous ones. However, the people,
Bathing in the emperor's grace, even if you fight to the death, you will fight the bandits in western Sichuan to the end!" Prince Gong Yixin said. As more and more places were captured by western Sichuan, Prince Gong Yixin became more and more decadent, now only 62 years old
At the age of 1980, he looks no different from those of seventy-year-olds and eighty-year-olds.
"What about the international community? Can Western countries support us?" Empress Dowager Cixi still asked unwillingly. Now, foreigners are her only hope.
"When I go back to the Lord Lafayette, the foreigners have put pressure on western Sichuan, but the results are not great. western Sichuan has withstood the pressure from the great powers. Now, western Sichuan is still fighting against the Japanese while attacking the Qing Dynasty." Prince Gong said.
"Western Sichuan is still fighting with the Japanese? How is it now? If we are defeated by the Japanese, will the Qing Dynasty be saved?" Empress Dowager Cixi was excited and asked quickly, as if the drowning person had caught it.
Like the last straw.
The other Manchu ministers also looked at Yixin with a gaze.
"God Lafayette, the Japanese are not the opponent of the Western Sichuan bandits. The latest news I just got was that the main joint fleet of the Japanese Navy was annihilated by the Western Sichuan bandits in yesterday's naval battle. The Japanese are now unable to take care of themselves, and
It is very likely that you will lose this war!" Prince Gong Yixin said helplessly.
"What? The Japanese have also been defeated? The fleet of the Beiyang Navy, which defeated the Qing Dynasty, was actually defeated by the Western Sichuan bandits? It seems that the sky is really about to destroy the Qing Dynasty!" Empress Dowager Cixi was depressed and depressed.
He said, looking so helpless.
At this moment, a guard hurriedly ran in and said loudly: "Report to Lord Lao Fu, General Fengshan sent someone to report that the bandits in western Sichuan are going to attack the capital!"
