The Temple Street crisis involved both Chinese fleets!
Siribalski, who had not received a response to the escort fleet in the south, unexpectedly received a response from Chen Shiying, commander of the Second Beiyang Fleet, when he did not have much hope.
Chen Shiying promised to lend the Soviet Red Army one to two men of ship artillery when the Soviet Red Army's attack was unfavorable.
After receiving Chen Shiying's permission, the Soviet Red Army troops were greatly refreshed.
On October 17, 1919, the Battle of Temple Street broke out.
The Soviet Red Army launched an attack on Temple Street in three directions. The White Guards and the Japanese army hurriedly responded. In terms of numbers, the White Guards and the Japanese army were far behind, and they had deep conflicts with each other and could not cooperate with each other. Therefore, under the influence of the Soviet Red Army
Under the blow, the White Guards quickly collapsed.
Once the White Guards were defeated, the Japanese army could not stand alone, and more than 200 Japanese troops evacuated to the Japanese consulate.
This Soviet-Russian Red Army actually immediately launched an attack on the Japanese Consulate. However, lacking heavy weapons, it was difficult for them to capture the Japanese Consulate.
The Soviet Red Army finally remembered the promise made to them by the Chinese people.
Siribalski found Chen Shiying again.
Chen Shiying readily agreed and dismantled one side gun from the "Jiang Heng" ship and one Gatling gun from the "Lichuan" ship and lent them to the Soviet Red Army along with a batch of ammunition!
With the support of two mén artillery pieces, the Soviet Red Army's strength greatly increased.
Artillery bombarded the Japanese consulate, and the Japanese defense line was quickly defeated. Nearly 60 Japanese soldiers were killed and 130 Japanese soldiers were captured.
"Comrade Commander, we have won." Siribalski looked very excited and came to Commander Babalov excitedly, waving his fists: "Temple Street is already ours! By the way.
, we also captured more than 130 [Japanese] prisoners, Comrade Commander, what should be done with these prisoners?"
Babalov put down the telescope: "Comrade Ivanovich Siribarsky, what do you think should be done?"
Unexpectedly, the commander comrade threw the problem to him. Siribalsky glanced at the group of prisoners: "The Japanese shamelessly helped the White Army kill our comrades and destroy the great Soviet Russian revolution.
.This time we assisted the White Army in defending Temple Street. When the defeat was certain, we hid in the Japanese Consulate and resisted, causing us heavy casualties. Comrade Commander, for the sake of those comrades who sacrificed their lives, we
They should be avenged!"
"Yes, Comrade Ivanovich Siribalsky." Babarov nodded: "The blood of the revolutionaries cannot be shed in vain! We must avenge them and all the comrades who sacrificed their lives.
Shoot them!"
"Yes!" Silibalski saluted excitedly!
The 130 Japanese soldiers did not know that their doom had arrived. They were gathered together and then shot collectively. None of the 130 Japanese prisoners survived.
This was the "Temple Street Consulate Incident", which the Japanese called the "Temple Street Massacre".
The Soviet Red Army who occupied Temple Street returned the two artillery pieces to the Chinese fleet and expressed their gratitude.
At this time, the First Fleet to Protect Overseas Chinese in the South also began to operate secretly.
The naval guns on the ship were dismantled and placed on the commanding heights west of the temple. A large number of sailors were used as infantry, distributing weapons and ambushing both sides of the west side of the temple.
On the night of October 18, Zhang Xiaoyue gave an order and naval guns began to bombard the Soviet Red Army garrison on Temple Street!
The sudden blow caused the Soviet Red Army team to be thrown into chaos instantly, with heavy fatal consequences.
Babalov was almost killed in this sudden bombardment. He finally escaped the artillery bombardment and hid in a safe place. He watched his station fall into a sea of flames and watched his soldiers being bombarded by artillery fire.
Babarov ran away in panic, and Babalov was confused. What on earth happened?
After finally making it to daybreak, the Russian Red Army, which had been bombed to pieces, regrouped and launched a counterattack toward the west of the temple.
The frontline commander is Yi Xin, the captain of the "Hairong"!
This commander with a naval background did not show panic during the land battle!
He calmly ordered the soldiers to rely on their positions to resist, and with the help of naval guns, they repelled the attacks of the Soviet Red Army several times.
At the same time, Zhang Xiaoyue, commander of the First Fleet to Protect Overseas Chinese on the "Hairong", immediately called: "On this day, the Soviet Red Army occupying Temple Street suddenly attacked our garrison fleet and attempted to seize our ship. We
The entire fleet is forced to fight back against the interventionist forces that are currently struggling to hold out in the middle of the distance. Reinforce our fleet immediately..."
The telegram was sent, and Zhang Xiaoyue stood on the deck of the ship and watched the battle on the land with interest.
"Commander." Fan Elin, the captain of the "Haiqi" appeared next to him: "The telegram has been sent, but it seems, it seems..."
"It seems like there is a bit of confusion between right and wrong, right?" Zhang Xiaoyue held his pipe in his mouth and said quietly: "There are too many things that we have been confused about by the great powers. It doesn't matter if we reverse right and wrong once in a while.
It’s no big deal. We are one of the intervention forces. In addition to protecting overseas Chinese, we can also attack the enemy. War serves politics. Besides, there is no justice or injustice in this war. Attacking the enemy is the first priority.
One person.,…
Erlin nodded: "What should we do with the President?"
"Do you know why I dare to fight?" Zhang Xiaoyue smiled: "Because standing behind me and the Chinese Navy is a president who is not afraid of anything!"
With that said, he put down his pipe: "Order Yi Xin to hit me harder and don't let the Russians move forward!"
Nanjing, Presidential Palace.
"The bastard Zhang Xiaoyue really started fighting! The bastard, the bastard, lawless, lawless!" Wang Hengyue held the telegram in his hand and cursed, but with a smile on his face.
These subordinates of my own are really like me, they dare to do anything and are not afraid to do anything.
Jiang Baili placed another secret telegram in front of Wang Hengyue: "This one was taken by Zhang Xiaoyue before, about the Beiyang Fleet."
In fact, Wang Hengyue knew what the Beiyang Fleet and the commander named Chen Shiying had done without even looking.
He glanced briefly: "The two commanders are more courageous than the other. Good, very good. One helps the Soviet Red Army fight the White Guards, and the other fights the Soviet Red Army. Damn, the brains of these two people are...
How did it turn?,"
Jiang Baili smiled: "They have done this, and now they are waiting for the president to clean up the mess."
Wang Hengyue also smiled: "Chen Shiying is good, and Zhang Xiaoyue is also good.
Damn it, there is no good person in the Soviet Red Army and the White Army, they all treat us Chinese as sheep to be slaughtered there, well, since my subordinates are lawless, I will be their protective umbrella this time!"
As he said this, he must have said: "To generate electricity for Zhang Xiaoyue, just one sentence will become "Hit me, beat me hard!"
Wang Hengyue knew all too well about the "Temple Street Incident". Chen Shiying lent artillery to the Soviet Red Army. As a result, after a few months of the Temple Street battle, it caused an uproar.
Under the pressure of the Japanese, the Beijing government was forced to dismiss Chen Shiying from all his posts and ordered that he would "never be reused."
Chen Shiying went through all the hardships and was not afraid of difficulties. He led the entire fleet to return smoothly and made outstanding achievements. He also showed awe-inspiring integrity in the "Temple Street Incident" and received the sympathy and admiration of his colleagues in the navy. In the end, the Navy did not implement the Beijing government.
Instead, Chen Shiying changed his name and continued to hold important positions in the military. He was also awarded the "Wenhu" Medal as a sign of affirmation!
As soon as Chen Shiying changed his name, he changed into a glorious and outstanding Chinese naval general: Ji Jiliang!
But now, with Zhang Xiaoyue's bombardment of the Soviet Red Army, history has changed again. Even Zhang Xiaoyue did not know that his bombardment of the Soviet Red Army helped Wang Hengyue solve a big problem in another aspect.
"If you can't even protect your own officers, how can you be called a general?" Wang Hengyue smiled faintly, and then said: "Chief of Staff, it doesn't look like it will take a few months. When the battle at Temple Street is over, I will have to deal with the Japanese again.
Provocative."
Jiang Baili seems to have been tame a long time ago!
The President has had many direct confrontations with Japan over the years. Every time he seemed to be at a disadvantage at first, he was always able to turn things around in the end.
It seems that he simply does not want to let [Japanese] take advantage of him at all, nor is he willing to give in in front of [Japanese] himself.
The president is a soldier. Perhaps this is due to his military nature.
Since the president has nothing to fear, what do his subordinates have to worry about? At worst, China and Japan will eventually break up and start a vigorous fight.
Anyway, the President had discussed Sino-Japanese relations with himself countless times during his reign, and concluded that sooner or later there would be a war between China and Japan.
In this case, taking it early or late is still a beating!
Wang Hengyue had the same idea as Jiang Baili at this time. If he was strong enough, he would wish to start a war with Japan right now.
The most regrettable thing is that firstly, his strength has not reached the point of starting a war with Japan, and secondly, his current identity is the President of the Republic of China.
As a president, the most taboo thing is to act on impulse.
No matter what situation you encounter, you must force yourself to calm down.
Wang Hengyue thought for a moment: "Once the Northeast issue is resolved, immediately order Zhang Zuolin to send troops. Our strength in Russia is still too weak. We must strengthen our strength there and completely attack Russia!"
"Yes, I'll get started!"
"Also, send electricity to Lu Yixuan and ask "Hai Chi, wait for the ship to speed up, and be sure to rendezvous with the first bridge-protecting fleet before launching. Then tell Zhang Xiaoyue that I grant him the right to act arbitrarily on the front line!"
At this point, he explained carefully: "Tell him, even if the sky falls, I, the great president, will be here to hold it up!".!
