Off the coast of Qingdao, the Japanese naval formations gradually approached. In the face of the huge fleet of armed Chinese merchant ships, the pressure on the Japanese naval formation was unprecedentedly strong.
"Your Excellency Commander, the Tokyo Urgent Telegram, demands that we sink the Chinese battleship Beijing and disintegrate the resistance of the Chinese Navy at all costs." Said the Confidential Officer.
"Yaga! Are all those people in the military department pigs? These armed merchant ships were apparently specially refitted. The caliber of the ship's heavy guns is larger. In addition to the number of terrors, the pressure on these sixteen warships of the Great Japanese Navy is too great. Lieutenant General Yamaya's face turned ugly. It seems that his previous intelligence was too easy, and those guys in the military department must have underestimated the Chinese armed merchant ships. It's right to think about it, a merchant ship is a merchant ship after all, and even if it is loaded with weapons, it can't be compared with a warship in terms of combat effectiveness. In addition to being more profitable on board, warships are also capable of firing torpedo attacks, which can be sunk if the enemy evades a little full.
But now that the Chinese armed merchant ships are massed together, the firepower generated by the Japanese warships coming close to the enemy's right is an extremely terrifying disaster. It is believed that in addition to the two super battleships Fuso and Yamashiro, even the remaining two heavy cruisers will not be able to hold on.
"Damn it!" Looking at the Chinese naval formation, which was like a hedgehog only entrenched, Vice Admiral Yamaya only felt that it was difficult to swallow.
"Your Excellency, Commander, there is a telegram from the Yamashiro requesting an attack. The Fuso attacked the Chinese Peking, and the armed merchant ships were handed over to the Shancheng. The captain of the Fuso said in a deep voice.
Lieutenant General Yamaya was silent. Although the armed merchant ships are not strong in combat, they are numerous, and if they are unlucky and hit the vital point, even with the rough skin and thick flesh of the battleship, it is difficult to resist. Compared to this, it is much safer to engage Chinese battleships.
"Your Excellency, for the honor of the Navy, we must not be cowardly!"
"Yaga! Of course I do. Ordered the Yamashiro to attack, and all the other ships worked closely together. Compared to warships, armed merchant ships have weak armor and do not have the ability to attack from the bottom of their lungs like torpedoes. Let them fire more torpedoes. Lieutenant General Yamaya said in a deep voice. There is no war without sacrifice, compared with the Great Japanese Empire, China only has one super battleship, if Japan can sink it, then during the entire war, China will lose the qualification for naval warfare, and the imperial war against China will be a huge support. This is also the reason why the Admiralty demanded that the Fuso be attacked at all costs, knowing that it was in trouble.
Boom Boom!
As soon as the Yamashiro came into range, a large force of armed Chinese merchant ships began to open fire, and the dense firepower set off huge waves around the Yamashiro, and even the deck of the Yamashiro far from the sea was completely wet by the waves.
In the Beijing conning tower.
"Retreat!" Zhang Chaoqun said in a deep voice. The melee combat ability of armed merchant ships is almost equal to zero, and only by opening up the distance and using ship-borne heavy artillery to suppress the fire of the Japanese fleet is the real way to survive armed merchant ships.
Of course, the distance is far, and the accuracy of arming merchant ships with heavy guns is even worse. However, compared with the huge losses that may have occurred, Zhang Chaoqun still chose guerrilla.
Bang!
An unlucky Japanese cruiser was concentrated by a heavy cannon fired by an armed merchant ship, and the whole ship was punched a large hole, and the sea water poured in, and the warship slowly sank. The Japanese soldiers jumped into the sea like dumplings.
This scene made the Japanese fleet nervous, and began to pay attention to the huge number of Chinese naval formations. These fleets may not be very well defended, but the heavy artillery on them is real. Thinking of this situation, the Yamashiro began to move at full speed, trying to close the distance between it and the large formation of the Chinese Admiralty, but it was still inferior, the speed of these merchant ships was still very bad, although it was not as good as cruisers and destroyers, but compared with the bulky battleships, it was not lagging behind.
The war on the sea is at a stalemate.
Southwest, within Myanmar.
At the cost of considerable sacrifices, Cai's army captured the last county town in Burma and completely drove the British out of northern Burma.
"General, we have sent the war report back home, do we want to continue to go deeper?" For entering Myanmar to fight, the squadron is relatively repulsive in its heart. The Chinese have a non-serious sense of locality, and it is naturally difficult for them to have a sense of belonging when fighting in other places. If it weren't for the strict discipline of the Wehrmacht, and the fact that the troops have been winning battles from the time of the battle to the present, the morale of the troops would not have declined.
"Of course, although we have conquered northern Burma, we have not defeated the main force of the British army, and only by completely inflicting heavy losses on the British army and letting them thoroughly monitor the forces of our squadron can we drag them to the negotiating table." Cai Yi's face was more solemn. For China, the difficulty is not the war, but how to end the war with dignity. For the British. Anti-British sentiment in China is quite serious, but there is one thing that cannot be refuted, that is, Britain itself was originally a colony in Asia. Although it is not weak enough combat power, it is not the center of interests. The colonies occupied by the Japanese empire were very extensive, and it was not impossible to afford to lose some. And China goes to war on both sides, attrition is very terrifying, China does not have the ability to defeat two powers at once, but in Asia, China must show its strength. Now the whole world is watching the Far East. France is still on the sidelines, but Vietnam's French colonial army has more than tripled in size. The fleet in the Far East has also increased considerably. France still has not given up on taking advantage, but it is not completely sure at the moment. No merchants have appeared in the Far East and want to open it up as a second battlefield of arms consumption. It's just that the three countries currently have spare capacity, and they all have a complete military industrial system internally, so they are not interested in American-made weapons. The Americans also have enough patience to be if the war in the Far East continues, but no matter how deep the belligerents are, they will eventually consume resources and have to import materials from abroad. At that time, it will be a good time for American capital to penetrate in large quantities.
"But the warriors have some thoughts in their minds, after all, this is not our land."
"Humph! This is Burma, our Chinese vassal. In this land, our Chinese ancestors have always been the envoys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and even we Chinese officials have greater authority in this land than local officials. In addition to the name, this is where my Chinese land is. And who can say the ownership of this land in the future? Cai Yi smiled and said.
"What does the general mean that we can just occupy this territory?" The staff officer said in surprise.
"Whether to occupy or not depends on the attitude of the British. Our national strength is still too weak, and we can only seek self-preservation. If the British do not bow their heads, then we will simply occupy this land and reproduce the supreme majesty of our Greater China. Cai Ye said in a deep voice.
After talking about Feng Yong's contact, even Cai Ye was influenced by his great nationalist thoughts. He has a high pursuit of restoring the prosperity of Chinese history. In the heyday of China, the cyclical regions were all subject states of China, and as soon as the order of the central dynasty came out, all four provinces obeyed. It's just that modern China has declined. The Qing Dynasty's seclusion completely closed China to the country, which eventually led to the eastward expansion of Western power, and the originally prosperous East became a colony.
Under Cai's order, the Wehrmacht made slight corrections and launched a faster and more violent attack on the Japanese army. The originally stable front of the British army immediately collapsed. The British army in Yangon could no longer sit still. Not a big call for help. The whole British Territory was in an uproar when it received the news. I didn't expect that backward China would be able to force the world's No. 1 empire of the sun to such a situation. ..., on the Korean battlefield, 300,000 troops of the Shenyang Military Region entered the hinterland of Korea, and then launched a frantic pursuit of the garrisons stationed all over Japan. Japan was defeated again and again, and in just one day, it was even a control of hundreds of miles of land.
Receiving one defeated representative after another at the front, the Japanese and Korean army headquarters will die of sorrow. One telegram after another asking for help was sent to Tokyo, Japan, causing a shock at the top level of Japan. In the face of the emperor's questioning, the Japanese military headquarters had no choice but to send troops to reinforce the Korean army in the country. In order to keep the most important colony of the Great Japanese Empire, Japan sent eight main divisions, including the Guards Division, to Korea. At the same time, a large number of Japanese armored tanks, new artillery. The new fighter plane, which has just been finalized, has also received a large number of orders from the military department. Japan has seen it. The defeat of the Korean army of the Japanese Empire was due to the endless emergence of advanced Chinese means.
While the forces were being deployed, a large-scale civil uprising suddenly broke out in central and southern Korea, and some ordinary Koreans who could not survive and were oppressed by Japanese exploitation and rule quickly gathered at the call of the Korean royal family. After receiving weapons and equipment, they began to attack the local Japanese security forces.
Hesitation, this riot happened very suddenly, and the Japanese army, which was busy resisting the invasion of the squadron, did not expect that they would catch fire in their backyard at this time, and since the expansion of the Korean army, a stable and rebel force in Korea has disappeared, making Japan think that the Korean resistance force has died down. And in this sudden uprising, these North Korean people have a lot of weapons, needless to say, these must be from the old adversary China.
The Japanese and Korean military commanders hated these Chinese intrigues and tricks, but there was nothing they could do. Now that the Sino-Japanese war has reached the most critical moment, if the Japanese army wants to save the defeat, it must hold out until the domestic army is reached, and at the same time ensure that the troops on the front line are retreating to organize resistance again. But these riots have made the situation in North Korea even more eroded.
The North Korean Army Command actively allocated a part of its forces to suppress the local rebellion, hoping to extinguish the North Korean uprising in the shortest possible time. But what the Japanese did not expect was that China did not support only one force in Korea. The Democratic Party of Korea, the famous people in North Korea, and the royalists in the production line all have outstanding Chinese outstanding, and these people, under the last threat of China, broke out one after another, and almost overnight blossomed all over the territory of North Korea.
