Chapter Seventy-Four: Arriving in China
Nagumo watched the German fleet march away, his eyes full of envy, anger, despair, and unwillingness. The national character of the Japanese is very strange, worshipping the strong, in front of the strong will be as well-behaved as a pug, and at the same time very arrogant, once hit and frustrated, and very pessimistic and hopeless, and even there will be suicide by caesarean section, this is a narrow national consciousness formed by the island nation for thousands of years, I use the current saying - cheap people are hypocritical.
Nan Yunzhong, who had been silent for a long time, said to his adjutant:
"Immediately send a report to the Cabinet that there are very advanced submarines in the German fleet, and our warships will not be able to detect each other at all, and at the same time, the performance of German aircraft is at least a whole generation more advanced than ours, and the Cabinet must get along with each other as soon as possible."
……
Although the German fleet was harassed by Japanese planes stationed in Taiwan when it crossed the Taiwan Strait, it was driven away by the escort planes, and two days later the German fleet reached the mouth of the Yangtze River and sailed directly from the Yangtze River to Nanjing.
Fortunately, Chiang Kai-shek did not order the shipwreck of the Yangtze River because he had received the news that the German fleet was going to send arms half a month ago, and the Japanese fleet did not dare to casually enter the Yangtze River to show off its might; although the planes of the Republic of China fought out two-thirds, they would still pose a fatal threat to the Japanese warships entering the Yangtze River.
On June 21, 1937, the German fleet arrived at the Xiaguan Wharf in Nanjing, and in order to ensure the safety of the skies over Nanjing, the German flying regiment was authorized to shoot at Japanese planes that intruded into the airspace of Nanjing, and it was necessary not to let an enemy plane sneak in.
The entire Xiaguan wharf has been requisitioned, and the ten wharves began to unload at the same time, this time Chiang Kai-shek transferred all the troops to help carry the munitions, and the trucks of the Republic of China government arrived, but to transport the 100,000 tons of munitions, I am afraid it will take three or four days, anyway, China is short of everything else, that is, there is no shortage of people.
When Raeder arrived at Shimonoseki, he received a telegram from the German ambassador to China, saying that Chiang Kai-shek was coming to greet him personally, so he asked Marshal Raeder to organize the German personnel.
"General Rommel, the leader of China is going to greet us in person, do you have any good suggestions, should we go with a few people, or should we gather all the soldiers together?"
Rommel had been on another passenger liner, and when he received radio communication from Raeder, he suddenly had a perfect idea in his head:
"Marshal Raeder, I think we should have a small military parade, a team of 5,000 people to be paraded, I think it should be enough, I only need an hour of preparation time, and we will let people from all over the world come to see our great German military might."
"That's it! All right!!! You have to hurry, the embassy said that Mr. Jiang will arrive at the motor pier at nine o'clock, and it is already half past seven, and you still have an hour and a half to prepare. ”
"Enough, marshal, Rommel will surprise you."
Rommel put down the microphone, immediately picked up the microphone and began to give orders, and all the members of the "Flying Eagle Legion" disembarked and assembled in full armor for ten minutes. ”
After Rommel got off the microphone, he walked quickly to the gangway, and at this time, not long after the passenger ship docked, the soldiers above began to disembark, and the ship's radio sounded, and Rommel's order was loudly played three times, and the German soldiers, who had been slowly disembarking, began to change from walking to running under the urging of the officer:
"Quick, run forward...... Knock knock. ”
Li Mo and several of his brothers were also organizing the soldiers to get off the boat, and suddenly heard Rommel's order, everyone first looked at each other and stopped for a few seconds, and quickly reacted, could it be that the little devil called? Everyone's hearts were full of doubts.
All the German soldiers poured down the passenger liner like a tide, judging from the running crowd, the discipline of the German army was indeed one of the best in the world, and in the brisk running, all the German soldiers basically maintained a queue of four people, although this queue was a little crooked.
The dock was empty, and one of the officers who arrived first visually surveyed the field and immediately asked his soldiers to assemble in a group, and the later soldiers also began to line up based on this procession.
"Knock knock...... Hurry up...... We stood next to ......."
Li Mo belonged to the Command, and there was no team to bring, so Li Mo had to stand at the forefront of the "Flying Eagle Legion" and stand with the staff officers of the "Flying Eagle Legion".
Rommel walked quickly to the front of the team with a few officers with him, Rommel looked at his watch as he walked, and all the German soldiers gathered from his own order, in just five minutes, this speed, Rommel was very satisfied. Don't look at the formation is very simple, but you can see whether a unit has cohesion and spirit. All the German soldiers who had finished the procession, although they had been on the ship for half a month, were now holding their heads high and their eyes were firm, and Rommel was even more confident in his soldiers.
Because of the rush of the queue, there is no microphone here, let alone any stereo, and the only way to speak is by roaring, but fortunately, Rommel has no less voice:
"All the soldiers and officers, I feel extremely honored to be able to command you, and now we have ushered in our first mission, to participate in the military parade here, to show China and the world the demeanor of our German soldiers, do you have the confidence to complete it."
"There is ......"
"Good! Now I order, and Ondette immediately leads all the tank instructors, and drives all our tanks to the square for forty minutes, and the place of unloading is at the first pier. ”
Li Mo hurriedly stepped forward and promised loudly: "Yes", then turned around on the spot and shouted loudly to the team below:
"The tank instructor corps is waiting for me to go."
After Li Mo finished shouting, he began to run forward, and the neatly lined up team below ran out of about a thousand people following Li Mo's ass with a "bang". The establishment of the "Flying Eagle Regiment" is a tank regiment, with a total of 210 tanks, which is equivalent to a reinforced tank regiment, and the establishment of four battalions is just over 1,000 people.
After Li Mo ran to the No. 1 pier, a 10,000-ton giant ship had docked, and there was a huge retractable door at its stern, which had been put down at this time, and there were also many ** soldiers next to the dock, they pointed at the tanks inside, and exchanged heads, but no one went to unload the tanks, because they couldn't drive the tanks, so they could only stare dryly.
Li Mo can't blame his comrades, the ** soldier who can drive a tank at this time is a baby pimple, even a car soldier can be regarded as a treasure among the people. Li Mo hurriedly took the instructors into the warehouse of the 10,000-ton giant ship, these tanks were loaded by Li Mo himself, and this ship was also the largest tonnage among the transport ships this time, reaching 30,000 tons, and all the tanks had just been loaded in, as well as related accessories. (The Yangtze River estuary to Nanjing section can pass 50,000 tons of ships during the wet season, because of this data, the fallen leaves are verified by Baidu before they dare to write, to be honest, the fallen leaves are very attentive to write this book, today began to recommend Sanjiang, ask the brothers to support the Sanjiang ticket smash it, please.) )
