Chapter 450: Two Fleet Commanders!

October 1919.

Heilongjiang estuary: Temple Street.

This has been forcibly ceded to Russia along with the Trans-Khingan Mountains!

After the Beiyang Government and the National Government joined forces to protect overseas Chinese, the Beiyang Fleet and the Overseas Chinese Fleet were stationed here. Although these were fleets representing two different governments in the north and south of China, they were at peace with each other, and even exchanged views frequently.

The reason is actually very simple:

Everyone is the Chinese fleet, and everyone comes for the same purpose:

Protect overseas Chinese!

At this time, the person in charge of the plenipotentiary command of the troops stationed in Russia was Lin Jianzhang, the captain of the destroyer "Jiankang."

And in Temple Street, Chen Shiying, the commander of the Beiyang Fleet, and Zhang Xiaoyue, the commander of the Overseas Chinese Fleet!

The Beiyang Fleet consists of gunboats such as "Jiangheng", "Lijie", and "Lisui" and the armed tugboat "Lichuan", and the overseas Chinese fleet is the cruisers "Hairong", "Haiqi" and destroyers "Yongfeng"!

At this time, Temple Street was stationed Russian White Guards and Japanese troops, and the Japanese army had four destroyers and one cruiser. On weekdays, the White Guards and the Japanese army seized more than 2,000 overseas Chinese here, and the contradictions between the two sides were extremely deep.

But after the appearance of the Chinese fleet, the situation changed a lot.

Especially when China's reunification is imminent, and the tough president Wang Hengyue is about to take over China's national political power, this fear is even deeper.

Even the arrogant Japanese army, after being deflated under Wang Hengyue several times in a row, their arrogance was greatly restrained.

The situation of overseas Chinese has been greatly improved!

In October, the Soviet Red Army mobilized a large number of troops and prepared to storm Temple Street. And the White Guards and Japanese troops on Temple Street were also ready for battle!

In such a situation, the attitude of the Chinese fleet largely determines the outcome of this battle.

With the situation in the Red Army dominating, the commander of the White Guards quickly found the commander of the Beiyang Fleet, Chen Shiying.

As soon as he saw Chen Shiying, the tone of the White Guard officer was very tough: "Our army has been attacked by the Red Army, and your army is in our territory, so we should send four warships to assist our army in intercepting the Red Army." ”

"I'm sorry." Chen Shiying didn't even think about it: "Our army is a guest army, and besides, our ship is full of sailors, how can there be a reason for sailors to land and fight?" Unfortunately, we don't have enough to do. ”

The commander of the White Guards stared at Chen Shiying for a long time before he left in a huff.

"Commander." The subordinates were a little worried: "The Red Army is about to attack Temple Street, what should we do?" ”

At this time, Chen Shiying was very conflicted in her heart. His mission is to arm the overseas Chinese, not to participate in the war, but now that the Temple Street War is about to break out, where should he go?

After thinking for a while, he straightened his clothes: "I'll go to the Southern Fleet." ”

Southern Protector Fleet.

At the same time that the White Guard officers asked Chen Shiying to send troops, the Soviet Red Army also secretly sent a captain named Siribalsky to find Zhang Xiaoyue, the commander of the Southern Overseas Chinese Fleet.

Siribalsky's request was almost identical to that of the White Guards: "Your Excellency Commander, we are the Soviet Red Army, and we are here to liberate Temple Street, which is occupied by the White Guards, and we hope to receive your help, so we expect to receive the support of your fleet's naval guns!" ”

"Liberation Temple Street?" Zhang Xiaoyue snorted in his nose, he lit his pipe, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a thick smoke: "I lived in the Manchu era, and the Nebuchu Treaty signed with Tsarist Russia clearly stipulates that Temple Street belongs to China. However, in 1850, the Russian naval officer Nevelskoy led his troops to infiltrate the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, raised the flag and occupied the territory there, established a military outpost, and named the post Nikolaevsk after Tsar Nicholas I. I would like to ask, who exactly belongs to Temple Street, and who should liberate it? ”

Siribalsky was speechless for a moment.

Zhang Xiaoyue smiled faintly:

"What I have to tell you is that if you want to fight, we will never interfere, but we will not take sides. However, the safety of overseas Chinese in Temple Street must be fully guaranteed, and once the safety of our overseas Chinese lives is threatened, then we will not hesitate to fight back. ”…,

Siribarsky was taken aback, he came this time, originally wanted to seek the help of the Chinese naval artillery, but what he did not expect was that the Chinese not only refused him without hesitation, but also put forward a claim for the sovereignty of Temple Street!

Obviously, standing in front of him is also a tough Chinese.

continued to talk there for a while, but Zhang Xueyue was unmoved. Siribalsky was a little helpless, and it seemed that his hope could only be placed on the commander of another Chinese army.

Siribarsky only walked on the front foot, and Chen Shiying arrived on the back foot!

"Really? Just now, a captain of the Soviet Red Army came to see me. Hearing Chen Shiying talk about the situation, Zhang Xiaoyue frowned and said, "It seems that it is inevitable that Temple Street will fall into battle. ”

Chen Shiying nodded: "I just came to discuss this matter with you, and I have to come up with a plan as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Xiaoyue finished smoking a bucket of cigarettes, lit a bucket for himself again, thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "You said that the Soviet Red Army will come to you again after I have eaten a closed door?" ”

Chen Shiying was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "It's possible." ”

"I have an idea." Zhang Xiaoyue said slowly: "It's just that this method is a bit risky, and if you don't get it by accident, you and I will have to hit the ground." ”

Chen Shiying was stunned again, and then said: "Brother Zhang, just say it, if there is any danger, you and I can bear it together." ”

Zhang Xiaoyue smiled, and then whispered the plan in his heart.

Chen Shiying's face was cloudy, frowning for a while, loosening his eyebrows for a while, and when Zhang Xiaoyue said all the plans in his heart, Chen Shiying just asked: "Brother Zhang, do you have any smoke?" ”

Zhang Xiaoyue handed him his pipe, Chen Shiying smoked it "click, click", and then suddenly the whole person's movements stopped there, and said resolutely:

"That's it!"

"Good!"

Zhang Xiaoyue said a "good" word, and Chen Shiying had already preemptively said: "Leave the matter of dealing with the Soviet Red Army to me!" ”

"No, I'm coming!" Zhang Xiaoyue hurriedly said.

Chen Shiying laughed: "Brother Zhang, you just rejected the Soviet Red Army, and now you are going to them instead, which is easy to arouse the suspicion of the other party, and I have to negotiate with them about this matter." ”

Seeing that Zhang Xiaoyue was still arguing, Chen Shiying smiled slightly and said: "Brother Zhang, I know that whoever goes to negotiate with the Soviet Red Army will be in danger of losing his head in the future, but this time I have to take this risk." I only have three gunboats and an armed tugboat, and my strength is weak, and in Temple Street, the Japanese have four destroyers and one cruiser, which is quite strong, and in the event of a head-on conflict, your Southern Fleet will be the main force, so this time I have to go! ”

After smoking a bucket of cigarettes, Chen Shiying said lightly: "Brother Zhang, you must promise me two things, one is that once something happens, Brother Zhang must push all the responsibility on me." Second, in the event of an accident, my fleet will be handed over to you. Although there are not many gunboats, they are also our country's coastal defense forces, so you must take these ships well! ”

Zhang Xiaoyue's voice was a little choked: "Brother Chen, I, Zhang Xiaoyue, swear here, I will take your ship with me no matter what, and I will try my best to save your life no matter what, it's a big deal, I will go to the president in person!" ”

"I envy you for having a good president." Chen Shiying sighed: "Your great president is not afraid of anything, neither the Russians nor the Japanese. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely play for your president! ”

"Yes, yes" apart from these two words, Zhang Xiaoyue couldn't say anything.

Chen Shiying looked at the pipe in his hand: "Brother Zhang, give me this thing to keep a memory!" ”

The two of them glanced at each other, and then slowly raised their hands as if they were in a good mood.

Sending Chen Shiying out, Zhang Xiaoyue suddenly said loudly: "**The captains of the three ships Hairong, Haiqi, and Yongfeng, immediately go to the Hairong to hold an emergency military meeting!" ”

Yi Xin, captain of the "Hairong", Fan Erlin, captain of the "Haiqi", and Wang Weiwu, captain of the "Yongfeng", hurriedly gathered on the "Hairong". …,

After giving a general introduction to the situation, Zhang Xiaoyue's expression was extremely serious: "In Russia, whether it is red or white, as long as it is an old man who carries a gun, he regards overseas Chinese as a treasury to be taken and taken. Our compatriots were slaughtered, and the opposing armed factions in Russia forcibly pulled the strong men of overseas Chinese into a dirty military uniform, and these Chinese, who only understood "Ula", were thrown into the rain of bullets. Even those who have not been forcibly pulled are like lambs to the slaughter in front of a group of robbers in uniforms. Even the Japanese army, which sent troops to Russia in the name of protecting overseas Chinese, inexplicably went on a killing spree against the Chinese.

The Russians constantly demanded that overseas Chinese exchange residence permits for extortion, and they were subject to one ruble of residence", but for the Chinese, they were charged 10 rubles, and the military police strictly interrogated them, and those who did not have tickets and expired would be fined or even imprisoned. When Chinese leave the country, they can only carry no 100 rubles in cash, and any excess will be confiscated. The position of our Chinese in Russia is extremely miserable. Now, an opportunity to avenge the Chinese is in front of us, do you dare to do it? ”

His subordinates didn't even hesitate in the slightest: "Dare!" ”

"Good!" Zhang Xiaoyue's joy flashed from his face: "No matter what the Soviet Red Army or the White Guards, whoever bullies the Chinese, the old man will be unkind to him!" It's a big deal that his head hits the ground, and he is a good man again after eighteen years! Brothers, let's risk this life to do it, and die a vigorous death, long live the Chinese Navy! ”

The three subordinates stood upright, and then said loudly in unison: "Long live the Chinese Navy!" ”

History will be fixed here, and it will be fixed on these Chinese navies!
