Port Arthur.

Baiyu Mountain is crowded with people, tens of thousands of people spread the foothills of the mountain, and from a distance, the black pressure is as spectacular as a migrating ant colony. And among them, a white line stretching from the foot of the mountain to the tomb of Wanzhong at the top of the mountain is particularly eye-catching!

The white line is made up of thousands of young naval cadets dressed in snow-white navy uniforms, holding their heads high and squeezing their bodies out of the straight path to the foot of the mountain. Since 1912, the navy funded by Yang Qiu began to expand rapidly, after the Yantai Naval Academy (formerly Yantai New Beiyang Naval Academy), the Shanghai Naval Academy (formerly the Nanyang Naval Academy) and the Fujian Naval Academy (formerly the Fujian Shipbuilding School) were also expanded, and the larger and highest level of Zhoushan Naval University was also built.

The navy is not like the army, it takes a lot of technology to operate a steel battleship in concert, and it has high requirements for the mountains and rivers of Yongzhen in the third chapter of the water, so it requires decades of accumulation and training. Fortunately, despite the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, with the efforts of Sa Zhenbing and others, the naval fire was not completely extinguished as in 1949 in the parallel world, and Yang Qiu has been strengthening the soft power of the Navy since he promised Sa Zhenbing to buy back the three training cruisers Zhaohe, Yingrui, and Feihong with the final payment. In addition to sending dozens of selected young navy people, such as Bingwen, who likes the navy, and Chen Shiying, a naval selection derive, to Germany, nearly 300 people were selected to go to the naval academies of Britain, the United States, and France for further study after the reunification of the country in 1913, and dozens of people were selected from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Greenwich Naval College in the United Kingdom to learn how to build warships.

The young Deng Haoqian stood in the middle of them and puffed up his chest, his immature cheeks had been hard and resolute after the tragic Qingdao War, and opposite him was Lin Baofan, the son of General Lin Zengtai, and next to him were Wei Zirong, the sons of Wei Han, who were known as the first people to design naval ships in the late Qing Dynasty, and Wei Zijing, and further away, there were the descendants of General Yang Yonglin, who was known as the Nelson of the East by the British, although he and they were still students, they were clearly informed that Chapter 358 Yongzhen Shanhe would be sent to Europe and the United States to study after completing primary training in China.

And this time the leader of the team is the current Navy Logistics Chief General Ye Zugui, and General Qiu Baoren, who once said that he would never come back after the First Sino-Japanese defeat, but now wears the uniform of the Navy rear admiral and serves as the principal of the Shanghai Naval Academy.

Beiyang one, reclusive, escaping, discouraged, all back today! Not for anything else. Just return to Arthur after twenty years for the Navy!

"Look! Warships, it's our warships! ”

While waiting, a loud voice sounded from the foot of the mountain, and tens of thousands of eyes turned to the sea covered with thin ice. I only saw it. Four brand-new Seagull-class speedboats are at the helm! Propelled by four 280-horsepower aviation gasoline engines, they burrow into the waterway like light arrows, and then pull out the white waves along the bay of Laohuyu.

While everyone was still amazed at their speed, the newly finalized "Osprey" biplane water reconnaissance/torpedo plane also suddenly rose from below the sea level, and at the same time, an air squadron composed of 4 "Haidongqing" and 16 "Sparrows" in the distance also met them.

People were shocked at that moment! It is rare for ordinary Chinese people to see airplanes, not to mention so many warhawks flying in formation at low altitudes. That's when they found out. It turns out that the country has quietly progressed! When people were surprised and even frightened, joy accompanied by cheers suddenly sounded from the mouths of the cadets who stood taller than the trees.

The whistle whines and the salute roars! Sail hunting, full flags!

While dozens of warhawks turned around and swooped down on the sea, a large ocean-going wooden training sailing ship was the first to show its mast.

This is one of the two navy ocean-going training sailboats that Yang Qiu specially ordered from Italy last year, and he believes that only naval cadets who have experienced sail fighting can be regarded as real naval people, so he bought two for the use of the Naval Academy.

Behind it, there were four cruisers, including Qingdao, Haichou, Hairong and Haiqi. Four submarines were included, and all 16 warships of the First Fleet originally anchored in Shanghai appeared in the waterway! People watched curiously as the new naval flag flew in the wind, which also represented the return to the north with the First Fleet. After placing the bases in Lushun, Weihai and Qingdao, the vital Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea finally sheltered the naval guns of the Chinese navy again.

"Daddy. Look, it's a sailor! Beiyang ̈ is back! "It was the first time I saw so many of my own country's warships jumping up and squeezing in front, looking at a large group of reporters with cameras, wishing they could take pictures of themselves.

His father, who was a sailor in the Beiyang Navy, patted the boy's head affectionately, and tears of joy flashed in his eyes: "Stinky boy." Now it's the Republic of China, and it's not called a sailor, it's a navy! ”

"Navy! When I grow up, I want to be in the navy too! Like Daddy you do. ”

"Go ahead, just don't lose my face." The father touched the empty left sleeve and remembered the robe that Dadonggou sacrificed. Tears flowed uncontrollably.

In the bridge of the Qingdao, the short Sa Zhenbing also had red eyes. Yan Fu, Xie Baozhang, and Cheng Biguang behind him also had moist eyes! In 20 years, black hair has turned white, and teenagers have grown old! How many old Beiyang died of depression before this day! 20 years of waiting, 20 years of staggering today! Port Arthur once again ushered in the formation of the "Chinese" naval fleet!!

Compared with them, the chief designer who held the railing deliberately came from the Sandu Australia New Zealand Mawei Factory. Beiyang's first-generation ship design expert, General Wei Han was even more excited. Seagull-class speedboats, Osprey seaplanes, Seawolf submarines, and the Changfeng-class mega destroyer under construction! After the complete suspension of the navy in the year of Gengzi, the navy of the Chinese country finally began to regain its vitality.

Yang Qiu, who stood in the harbor to greet him, was also paying attention to the new motorboats and seaplanes. The prototype of this Seagull-class was the German DM-class motorized speedboat of World War I. As the cradle of modern speedboats, the German company BF Sen designed and built this speedboat for the German Navy in 1916 was not as well-known as the Italian and British speedboats, but mainly because of its late appearance and the fact that the German Navy was too limited after Jutland. Therefore, he chose this modern torpedo boat, which was the originator of the modern torpedo boat, and then turned it over from the data machine with a miniature camera and handed it to the Jiangnan Factory to draw and re-enlarge the design according to his requirements.

Due to the fact that the Jiangnan order dock was crowded at that time, the final order was handed over to the initial recovery of the old Mawei Shipyard and Shanghai Qiuxin Shipyard, Hubei Yangzijiang Machinery Factory, and the smaller Qinzhou Bay Shipyard four, the latter three are domestic private shipyards (Qinzhou Bay Shipyard is under the name of Miao Yuan), but the workers have been trained in Jiangnan for a year, especially the last Qinzhou Bay Shipyard, because the shipping distance is far away and it is necessary to detour to the Qiongzhou Peninsula, and the railway is not open to steel supply difficulties, mainly to build wooden civil sailboats. However, this time the order was given for the training of workers, but unfortunately because the aero engine was finalized too late, it did not catch up with the war.

The modified Seagull class has an engine and a slightly enlarged 35-ton round hull mated to four 280 hp VB aviation gasoline engines. It can still reach speeds of 30 knots in wind and waves, which is comparable to the best British speedboats at present. In the bow is a shielded 37 mm single-barrel rapid-fire machine gun, with a 450 mm torpedo tube mounted in front of the port side and two Han III heavy machine guns in the back. As an offshore speedboat, because it was equipped with torpedoes and initially had the ability to deal with large warships, the Navy ordered an additional 36 ships to be allocated to the two fleets after completing the experiment, and even the coast guard force, which had just been established under the National People's Guard, also bought 48 torpedo types for daily patrols.

The Osprey biplane water reconnaissance/torpedo aircraft was completely developed and designed by the Chongqing Aircraft Factory based on Hai Dongqing's experience. Really to say that the reference to who may be somewhat like the famous British cuckoo torpedo bomber. It's a pity that the engine needs to be supplied to Hai Dongqing and the secretly developed Gotha bomber was delayed.

These including the secretly developed Gotha bombers were actually secretly launched to recover Lushun, and he was even ready to sacrifice 30,000 to take it, but even he didn't expect that the Japanese army that rushed into battle was not the terrible "Imperial Army" in the Showa era, and the rigid and cluster charging tactics of the French army in the Franco-Prussian War made them like a bunch of meat targets in the face of tactics and firepower stronger than themselves.

Yang Qiu didn't even doubt that if the Japanese army was put in the position of the French army at this moment, it would face the German army, which was ten times stronger than his firepower. I'm afraid that the Japanese book will collapse directly.

In his thoughts, the armored cruiser Qingdao was the first to dock. The ship has a standard displacement of 4030 tons and a maximum speed of 20 knots. Armed with 8 150-mm naval guns, 2 70-mm secondary guns, and 14 50-mm rapid-fire guns, the former Austro-Hungarian Empress Elisabeth armored cruiser has become the new favorite of the navy. But perhaps it will be replaced soon, because the navy sent divers to find that the sunken armored cruiser "Japan" Tsukuba in Qingdao has repair value, so Huā used the large salvage equipment left by Germany in Qingdao to take the lead in salvaging it and sent it to the Qingdao dock, and Wei Han personally presided over the detailed inspection and repair work.

Perhaps at the end of the year, you can get the special spirit of a 10,000-ton cruiser, Sa Zhenbing and the naval officer corps just got off the ship and saluted Yang Qiu, this thin old general with gorgeous hair and temples seems to have returned to the era of training at the Greenwich Naval School in England, and said excitedly: "Navy Sa Zhenbing and the entire First Fleet salute the commander-in-chief, once there is a dispatch, I will not give up!" ”

Tang Shaoyi, who also came to greet and attend the monument erection ceremony, frowned, but Feng Huafu beside him didn't seem to hear such obvious words of loyalty. Because for them, the soldiers. Yang Qiu's personal military ability and strategic vision had completely convinced them. Don't you see the famous generals of the land of China for thousands of years, who are not raising their arms and calling out the whole army to work together! This is the tradition of the army, you say bad habits or feudal, the choice of a soldier is very simple, the future of following a famous general is far greater than that of mediocrity, even soldiers know that a famous general can make more people live to the end of the war so no matter how the navy was before, since Yang Qiu divided the navy into two fleets. After the Haichen, the latest three training cruisers Zhaohe, Yingrui, and Feihong, and the two self-built large destroyers Yongjian and Yongji were all incorporated into the Second Fleet, and non-Fujian naval officers were appointed, the largest invisible warlord group in the parallel world was gradually disintegrated. Sa Zhenbing and others also knew his thoughts, so in recent years, the new students recruited from various places have no longer been mainly from Fujian, but from the coastal provinces, and even from Nanyang and overseas Chinese children with high knowledge.

After the reconquest of Lushun this time, the greatest wish of these people, almost all the people in the navy took care of it and actively cooperated with him from the inside out.

Yang Qiu also knew that Sa Zhenbing was showing loyalty to him on behalf of the navy, and with this sentence, it was equivalent to the navy and army being pinched in the palm of his hand. But there is still work to be done on the surface, and he smiled in return: "General Sa made a mistake, not for my life, but for the country!" The Navy wants to protect this blue land for the Chinese nation! Not an inch or breath can be retreated! ”

"Haha I'm old, I can't even talk about it." Sa Zhenbing snorted, deliberately set aside and asked, "Commander-in-chief. Hasn't the U.S. replied yet? ”

This old man's face turned backwards quickly, no wonder he could become an evergreen in the navy.

This question also made the admirals behind him prick up their ears, and even Chen Shaokuan, who was a junior, held his breath. Two large cruisers! 9 guns of 150 ships. If this is in hand, the navy will be able to completely change the current situation of being small and old, and keep up with the pace of development of the world's navies. When Yang Qiu smiled slightly and turned his head to look at Cai Gong, the latter said, "Sa Lao." You don't want the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister to blow the northwest wind here, do you? ”

As soon as they saw his appearance, everyone knew that there were some eyebrows, and Sa Zhenbing's old face suddenly opened: "Yes, yes, do big things first." Hey, Shaochuan, are you there too? Huafu, Anguo, you have come from Wuchang. Tang Shaoyi, Feng Guozhang and Xiao Anguo, who were smiling and chatting next to them, were full of black lines.

Yue Peng and Zhang Zuolin held the corners of their mouths hard. This navy ruffian! After moving the big stone in the heart to restore the heart, it became even more difficult.

Everyone talked and laughed and walked along the passage opened up by the naval cadets towards the mountain. Originally, the memorial ceremony was not intended to be open to the public, but at Yang Qiu's insistence, the common people of Lushun were almost invited to watch the ceremony, and even Jinzhou, Dalian, and even Mukden had a lot of people, and senior officers in the Northeast Theater were also gathered together.

So in addition to the navy, the army also sent its strongest forces, and the guards also widened their eyes. The agents of the Ministry of Intelligence are even more close to protection and dare not relax. Fortunately, with the withdrawal of the "Day", the new minions have not yet penetrated, and with the joint efforts of several departments, it has been calm along the way. Only the ordinary citizens, who had seen so many members for the first time, were a little agitated.

When they arrived at the top of the mountain and saw Wan Zhong's tomb, everyone's faces became serious. 20 years ago, the Japanese army attacked Arthur and carried out a brutal massacre here! Four days and three nights! From the gray-haired elderly to the infants, they were killed. Families suffered, flesh and blood were everywhere, rivers of blood flowed in streets and alleys, the beautiful Lushun became a blood-stained hell on earth, more than 20,000 innocent compatriots died tragically under the Japanese army's butcher's knife, and more than 10,000 Beiyang soldiers were collectively buried alive!

There are only 36 survivors! It wasn't that they were lucky, but that the Japanese army needed them to bury the bodies.

Wan Zhong Soul in the Tomb of Wan Zhong!

They are the victims of the weakness of the country, the blood and tears. It's humiliation! For soldiers, it is even more painful defeat and hot slap!

The huā circle was placed in front of the tombstone by the guards, and Tang Shaoyi and Yang Qiu stood side by side with hundreds of officials bowing in silence. Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes began to flush, the crowd fell silent, and who among them did not have brothers and sisters buried inside? Who doesn't have friends and relatives spilling their blood on Long Street? In the past 20 years, except for the Manchu government sent people to worship hastily once during the construction, this is also the first time that the state officials have collectively worshiped the loyal soul.

After getting up. Yang Qiu nodded to Yue Peng.

The soldiers began to put piles of shoddy urns into the large pit that had been dug nearby. Tens of thousands of boxes containing the ashes of Japanese soldiers were piled up on a hill and then covered with soil shoveled by workers. No one will have mercy, no one cares about the pale white ashes spilled by the stones breaking the box, only a shovel of dirt with anger and deliberately stirred up hatred!

After the pit was quickly filled, the workers shouted slogans and slowly moved a 10-meter-high obelisk engraved with the list of soldiers who died in the battle to the center of the pit with hemp rope. On the front of the obelisk, "Yongzhen Mountains and Rivers", four large characters painted with black lacquer, face the sea.

"Yongzhen Mountains and Rivers."

"What a Yongzhen mountain river!"

The crowd's eyes were red again by these four big words, and every mouth was chanting these four words.

After Tang Shaoyi first expressed his gratitude to the loyal ministers and soldiers on behalf of the government, Yang Qiu walked to the podium and slowly raised his arms. The black pressure spread over the entire Baiyu Mountain, and the crowd that stretched for thousands of kilometers was attracted by these arms.

"Twenty years ago, we lost. Although I was just born at that time and many of the sacrificed soldiers who were engraved on this obelisk, shame is shame! A wisp of loyal soul in Wanzhong's tomb is a shame for soldiers! It is we who have failed to fulfill our responsibility to protect the country and the people! I'm not afraid to say it, if the soldiers don't dare to face the shame and don't want to take revenge! Do you want ordinary citizens to use their flesh and blood to resist the enemy's bayonet bullets? ”

The loud voice spread to every corner along the sea breeze: "Before today, some people advised me not to build this stone monument, because they felt that this would not hinder the resolution of Sino-Japanese hatred, but what I want to say is that our generation will never forget that shame until we die!" That bowl of blood and tears! In the past 20 years, we have endured it silently, and how many people have gray hair for this! Finally, we are back, and tens of thousands of soldiers have used their lives and blood to let the beautiful Lushun return to the embrace of the motherland!

Today, the obelisk stands here! In the future, it will always be here, and no one will want to shake it! Because this is no longer a country to be oppressed! The era of humiliation is over! The Chinese nation has straightened its backbone since then! Here, in front of you! In my own name, in the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht, in the name of a million Wehrmacht army and sea soldiers! I swear to the martyrs of the Chinese nation who have defended the country and the people for thousands of years! ”

"The soldier does not die, the mountains and rivers are forever in the town!"

"Soldiers don't die! Mountains and rivers Yongzhen! ”

"Long live the Wehrmacht! Long live Commander Yang! Long live the Republic of China! ”

After blurting out the eight words that sounded loudly, the entire Baiyu Mountain was boiling! Deng Haoqian, like everyone, squeezed out all the strength in his chest with red cheeks and shouted four times! The crowd was boiling, facing the soldiers who got out of the way and surging towards the Yongzhen Mountains and Rivers Monument, everyone stepped on the mud with two feet, and then gently stroked the obelisk, looking at the four big characters of "Yongzhen Mountains and Rivers", and the flames in their chests were blazing.

Popularity!

Once again, it was strongly sublimated from the White Jade Mountain in Lushun. Under the deliberate arrangement of telegrams, newspapers and government notices, the whole country raised its arms。!!!
