Chapter 174

The reason is really indescribable. In this era, as an Asian country, although Japan is fucked, psychologically the Chinese are more willing to accept the Japanese, and what they cannot accept are the Westerners. In the history of another time and space, if

Wasn't it because a full-scale war broke out between China and Japan? Could the Chinese hate the Japanese so much?

"The reason why I hate Japan is very simple. I hate the short legs of the Japanese! Also, the existence of Japan threatens China's national security. The most important thing is that there can only be one boss in Asia, and that is China." Fang Jianxiong reacted

Soon, he gave such a reasonable reason. Cai E thought for a while and said: "It is not enough to support the country with foresight. I thought you hated the Japanese because of the Sino-Japanese War, but it turned out that you were standing at the height of national strategy.

Look at this question.”

Is this okay? Although Fang Jianxiong is very thick-skinned, it is not a bad experience to be praised by Cai E so much.

Yang Yongtai rushed in, waving a telegram in his hand and reported: "Fu Shuai, Japanese Prime Minister Okuma Shigenobu issued a statement saying that the Japanese army landed on the Jiaodong Peninsula to attack the German army for the honor of Asians. He hoped that our army would not make unnecessary resistance to avoid triggering

Unnecessary loss."

Cai E snatched the telegram with his hand, read it carefully and said with trembling anger: "It's too much to bully others, it's too much! You still say this at this time. What Fu Guo said is right. Japan, this evil neighbor, has been plotting against China.

Territory. His outstretched claws must be cut off."

Fang Jianxiong laughed out loud, with a relaxed expression. He lit a cigarette for himself first, blew out a smoke ring, and then said with a casual smile: "Why are you so excited? Okuma Shigenobu's statement illustrates a problem. Japan has no

Be prepared for a full-scale war. This is a good thing for us. Is there any need to be angry?"

After saying this, Fang Jianxiong took a few puffs of his cigarette, threw it on the ground, stamped out the cigarette butt, and sneered: "Two divisions dare to land in Shandong, do you really think this is the Qing Dynasty?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Weijun rushed in from the door: "Fu Shuai, Qingdao urgent call, the Japanese fleet is shelling Qingdao."

"Are the Japanese crazy? They actually used warships to attack Taiwan?" Yang Yongtai was quite puzzled and asked subconsciously. Cai E immediately denied: "Probably not, this bombardment will not last long, I guess it is for

In retaliation for the air force throwing Molotov cocktails. The guns of Japan’s latest battleships have a range advantage, but the gun barrels are not cheap and wear out quickly. Japan is so stingy that it cannot fire a few shots before it has to take the initiative to cease fire. "

Cai E's inference is quite accurate. Takagi Qitaro was indeed shooting in retaliation. The Germans built a large number of coastal defense forts in Qingdao. From west to east, they are Tuandao Fort, Taixi Town Fort, Yamen Fort, and Qingdao Shannan Fort.

, Huiquanjiao Fort, Taipingshan Fort, and Qingdao Mountain Fort can defend both sea and land. If there are sufficient troops and ammunition, no one knows how many people will die in such a fortress. After the National Defense Forces entered Qingdao, the infantry number was more than 15,000.

In addition to the artillerymen who took over the fort, there were more than 20,000 personnel. The Germans did not have a large reserve of artillery shells. Fang Jianxiong mobilized a batch from Shanghai in advance, which was considered a complete preparation.

The warships of the German fleet did not dare to approach Qingdao at all. Only the "Hiei" was outside the range of the fort, firing with a 356MM caliber main gun. However, the power of this large-caliber artillery was indeed powerful. Once it was hit directly, even if it was a solid

The fort was also very choked. Fortunately, Takagi Nanitaro just came to vent his depression and stopped the bombardment after two rounds.

Similar to the history of another time and space, the first one to land at Longkou was Japan's 24th Mixed Brigade (Strengthened Brigade). Japan's strategic intention was obvious, launching an attack from behind Qingdao. Probably because of its usual arrogance

, the Qingdao War launched this time has one more reinforced brigade than in another time and space. This is the only change, and it can be said that the change is not big.

After the heavy rain, Longkou Beach was muddy. After the soldiers of the 24th Mixed Brigade came ashore in small boats, the covering naval guns blasted all possible defensive locations on the shore, but no movement was found. Even so, the elite Japanese troops

They were still very careful and sent out small troops with plaster flags to carefully explore ahead.

Soon the small team that explored the road came back to report that no one was found, and not a single ghost was found. In the afternoon..., the entire brigade went ashore, and the leading troops entered Longkou and found an empty town. The Japanese soldiers went from house to house rummaging through boxes and cabinets, what?

I didn't even read it. The news was sent back to Tokyo, and the newspapers that night were full of reports such as "The Imperial Japanese Army landed easily, the Chinese Army was nowhere to be found, and the Imperial Army seemed to be in an uninhabited country."

In fact, both Fang Jianxiong and Cai E were very anxious at this time. Due to the weather, the main force of the Japanese army, the 18th Brigade, was still in North Korea where they were fighting. Marshal Fang was anxious about the slow motion of the Japanese army, but he did not know that this

Compared with the speed of Japan's advance in parallel history, it was already two days faster. In another time and space, the Japanese army landed at Longkou on September 2.

The landing went smoothly, which reassured the Japanese a lot. The news coming from Jiaodong was very bad. The Chinese government forcibly expelled the people. No matter how capable the Japanese spies were, they could not detect the news. Even if they did, they could not deliver it.

Come out, the people will all leave now*, and once anyone dressed as a commoner appears, they will be forcibly escorted to Weifang.

The forced dispersal measures made the work of the Japanese intelligence agencies difficult. Although they knew that the Chinese Communist Party was dispatching troops to Jiaodong, they did not know the specific numbers and deployment conditions. The Japanese spies in Qingdao could continue to operate. The problem was that they wanted to go to the military

The possibility of important territory is zero. Anyone who wants to get close to a military target will be arrested directly without trial. They will be detained until the end of the war.

In response to the actions of the Japanese government, the Republic of China government once again protested. Foreign Minister Wang Zhengting once again held a press conference. Facing the media from various countries, his words became even more severe, saying: "The landing of Japanese troops on the Jiaodong Peninsula has been confirmed by the front. This is a violation of sovereignty of a sovereign country."

The country's most brutal trampling! The Republic of China government hopes that the Japanese government will not continue its wrong actions, correct it in time, turn around, and not drag the two peoples into the disaster of war."

This response was the strongest voice issued by the Republic of China government. The word "war" appeared for the first time in the statement issued by the Republic of China government on the Qingdao incident. Later, it was reported that President Sun urgently summoned Japanese Minister Ijuin

, once again expressed a tough attitude on the Japanese Army's landing on the Jiaodong Peninsula.

The question is, how the Japanese government interprets this statement is the most critical! Japan’s domestic media giant "Asahi Shimbun" made a very accurate report: "The imperial army made rapid progress and landed in Jiaodong without a fight. China repeatedly protested and used tough words

, but no effective military action was seen. War Minister Yukihiko Kususe said that the Imperial Army shoulders the honor of Asia. Defeating the German army and regaining Qingdao from the Asians is the glory of Asia!" He said this

This is elaborating a fact, rather it is analyzing the mentality of Japan's top military and political leaders. Although the Chinese government has repeatedly been tough, it has not taken clear military actions. In the competition for foreign interests during Japan's rise, which time did it not use a bayonet to clear the way? If a

If a declaration can solve the problem, why do we need the army? As for the glory of Asians, this is just nonsense, and its nature is the same as the so-called "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere".

The Japanese government ignored the solemn statement of the Chinese government. After the 24th mixed brigade landed at Longkou on the 31st, the main force of the 18th Division landed at Longkou on September 2.

In order to capture Qingdao, the Japanese spent a lot of money. One division led two reinforcement brigades, two field artillery regiments, four siege heavy artillery brigades, two ** engineer brigades, and one

Heavy Artillery Brigade. The Japanese landing operation went very poorly.

The anger was a bit bad. The infantry landing was okay, but the artillery was more troublesome. It was slow and anxious, and it seemed that the Japanese army was not in a hurry either. The entire landing operation started on the 2nd and continued on the 15th. The Japanese 18th Division

The landing of all regiments and artillery units was completed.

Frankly speaking, the speed of the Japanese army's action is not too fast. Fang Jianxiong did not dare to underestimate this slow speed. If it were the Army of the Republic of China to conduct such a large-scale cross-sea operation, it would be superfluous to think about it. It can be seen from this that

, the huge maritime gap between China and Japan

The slowness of the Japanese army gave the troops at the front more time to prepare. Since the day when the Japanese 24th Mixed Brigade landed, the tight strings have actually been loosened a lot. In short, a battle is about to happen, the National Defense Forces

Everyone in the Shandong team is waiting with this concept in mind.

The division commander, Lieutenant General Kamio Mitsuomi, as the supreme army commander of this military operation, stood on the ferry to the Jiaodong Peninsula, holding a sword in both hands, showing a standard samurai posture, and let the reporters accompanying the army take pictures. As for the British, this

Time and Space actually did not send troops to Qingdao. Its main navy is chasing Spee's German Far East Fleet, but this opponent is too cunning and has not been killed yet. By the way, the Japanese Navy also formed a hunting fleet to cooperate with the British army.

After Mitsuomi Kamio, the assistant to the commander of the siege artillery, Major General Watanabe Iwayuki, and the chief of staff, Artilleryman Daisaku Okamura, appeared in the most powerful posture and brutally murdered some films.

Looking at the opposite coastline faintly between the waves and the magnificent scenery on the sea, Kamio Mitsuomi, who was responsible for the great responsibility of the Japanese Empire, felt the urge to write a poem to relieve his inner feelings. Unexpectedly, holding the sword, he could not hold it in for a long time.

Holding back a word, he simply banged the sword hard to attract attention and then said loudly: "Gentlemen, report from the front, the 24th Brigade has entered Huang County, and there is no sign of the Chinese army."

"The Chinese army may not have the courage to fight our army. The imperial army has more than 50,000 troops. The Chinese army must dispatch at least 500,000 people to pose a threat to the imperial army!" Major General Watanabe expressed his confidence and contempt.

As soon as he finished speaking, a Xiaolong fighter jet appeared on the sea. After Mitsuomi Kamio used a telescope to see clearly the five-color national flag painting, he looked unhappy and said angrily in a low voice: "What's going on? Where are the imperial planes? Why don't you drive them away?

A Chinese plane?”

There was no need for him to rush. The plane did not stay long and disappeared in a circle. The landing area was full of supplies and people. The pilot on the plane was drooling when he saw it, and he hurried back to report the news. (To be continued.
