This man can't get carried away.

Zhang Bingyang, the commander of the fleet, is also too young, and he is a guy who started as a deputy company commander and swooped up, and he is only 28 years old this year.

As soon as the fleet came out, he found that the three ships that had been modified were very different from the original, and they were much stronger than when they were first snatched from Port Arthur.

In particular, the communication facilities are more advanced, and there is no barrier to communication between them. Talking 10 kilometers apart, it's like you're around.

Under this joy, the soldiers forgot what time it was, and they forgot that there were little devils all around! Especially the tragedy that happened in Lushun, Dalian, and Jinzhou half a year ago made the little devil still have nightmares and sleep with three eyes open!

In more than three hours, this miniature fleet had already run 200 kilometers to the west. Because there was no problem with communication between each other, the distance between them gradually expanded to 15 kilometers in the process of advancing, and then it was like a huge triangular arrow piercing the direction of Weihaiwei.

The light cruiser Tianlong, now numbered the Flying Dragon 201, is also the flagship of the detachment commander Zhang Bingyang. The soldiers practiced according to the drill subjects, and all kinds of procedures were orderly.

Look at the fact that it has been nearly five and a half hours, the fleet has run out for more than 300 kilometers, and a black land shadow has appeared in the west, and Yantai Weihaiwei is in front of you!

Just as Zhang Bingyang was about to give the order to return to the ship, Guantong suddenly shouted loudly: "Report to Commander: The radar shows that an unknown ship has appeared 60 kilometers on our left flank, heading 271 and approaching destroyer 302. No, it was the destroyer 302 that took the initiative to catch up, and the distance between the two sides was already less than 30 kilometers! ”

Zhang Bingyang suddenly became nervous, grabbed the microphone and shouted: "301, 301 please answer when you hear it!" ”

"301 hears, please instruct!"

Guan Tong grabbed the microphone and shouted: "Immediately move closer to me, head to 271, and move forward at full speed!" 302 may have encountered the enemy, and we need urgent reinforcements. ”

Zhang Bingyang is still calling: "302, 302, I am 201, please answer when you hear it!" ”

"Report 201, one of the little devil's destroyers is chasing a small runabout, I'm going up to help!"

"Fuck, how did you come across a little devil destroyer here?" Zhang Bingyang was dumbfounded for a moment, so he turned his head and shouted: "Contact the commander-in-chief immediately and report our current situation!" Lao Tzu is planted now, and he will definitely not be able to make a difference after he goes back! ”

"Where are you?"

Bai Shujie's voice came from inside the earphones, and Zhang Bingyang neither heard anger nor any anxiousness, so Zhang Bingyang began to be careful: "Report to the commander-in-chief, we are currently on the sea 60 kilometers east of Weihaiwei, and we are currently moving at full speed to reinforce 302." ”

"You take old words like farts!" Bai Shujie was neither yin nor yang in the microphone: "Order the destroyer 302 to rescue the speedboat immediately, and then quickly retreat and escape!" You guys remember to Lao Tzu, and further on is the Fourth Fleet of the little devils, where there are dozens of warships, and there are two aircraft carriers! ”

It turned out that a few days after the Lugou Bridge Incident, that is, on July 11, 1937, the Little Devil Navy Command issued a secret order and began to carry out military deployment to capture Qingdao.

On August 13, 1937, the little devils suddenly attacked Shanghai, and the Anti-Japanese War broke out. The next day, August 14, the base camp of the little devils made up their minds to capture Qingdao.

However, the situation on the Songhu battlefield gave the little devil a blow to the head. The defenders not only did not retreat, but fought to the death, not giving up an inch of land.

Due to the impact of the war situation, the Qingdao special attack force that was on standby at sea was forced to reinforce Shanghai, and the base camp of the little devils had to negotiate with the Qingdao authorities through diplomatic means, so that the overseas Chinese of the little devils could withdraw their troops from Qingdao at the same time.

Soon, in order to cope with the Songhu battlefield, the base camp of the little devils once again considered attacking Qingdao, making it difficult for Chiang's government army to have both, and the generals of the army and navy had completely opposite opinions.

War Minister Seishiro Sakagaki and Admiralty Admiralty Yamamoto Isoroku had a huge disagreement over their analysis of the war situation, and the countermeasures they adopted were naturally very different, and they almost broke their heads.

Sakagaki Seishiro believed that since the Songhu battlefield had been turned into a glue state, it was time to advance by sea and land, concentrate on breaking through the defenses in front of him with all his strength, and completely crush the defenders. Even if this goal cannot be achieved, the battle situation can be stabilized and wait for the response of the North China troops from the west.

Admiralty Deputy Yamamoto Fifty-six glanced at the big mouth: "What are you waiting for?" Now the Chinese garrison in Qingdao has very few troops, and the navy will solve it in one go. Then the division will go south to flank the defenders and encircle and annihilate Chiang Kai-shek's 300,000 army, and the big thing will be decided! After finishing the battle, a complete solution to the problem of China is at hand, don't waste time."

In this way, the sea and army generals of the little devils did not give in to each other, and His Majesty the Emperor could not "make a holy judgment", and the commander of the Fourth Fleet on the sea, Vice Admiral Toyota, was naturally at a loss.

The Minister of War, Seishiro Sakagaki, saw that his troops had suffered heavy casualties in Shanghai, and Yamamoto Fifty-six would see the jokes, and he had no intention of helping at all. Therefore, he proposed another idea to the emperor, which he had been preparing to implement for a long time:

"In addition, send a reinforcement army from the mainland, land directly from Hangzhou Bay, penetrate directly between Beijing and Shanghai, cut off the rear route of the enemy's defenders, and then annihilate it in one fell swoop!"

As long as everyone doesn't quarrel, His Majesty the Emperor will have to get by. Seeing that Yamamoto and others did not object, they approved the War Department's strategic plan to form two more divisions and regiments to land in Hangzhou Bay.

At a time when the enemy was about to press the frontier with a large number of troops, Chiang Kai-shek was deeply mired in the hope that the foreign powers would intervene to stop the Japanese invasion, and he never gave up this idea.

The battle of Songhu was forced by the Japanese to be done as a last resort. The purpose of Jiang's "beating" is to better "talk" in the future. And the mediation of the international community is the life-saving straw that he will not let go.

Therefore, when Chiang Kai-shek heard that the League of Nations was going to convene a meeting of the "Nine-Power Pact" in Brussels on November 3 to discuss the Sino-Japanese war, he was immediately overjoyed.

Originally, Chiang Kai-shek had listened to the advice of Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng and others, and decided to abandon Shanghai, adopt a protracted war strategy, and retreat the whole army to the existing fortifications on the outskirts of Shanghai to resist the attrition of the Japanese army, which was a wise and feasible move at that time. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek gave the order to retreat to the front.

However, the news that the "League of Nations" was going to hold a meeting made Chiang Kai-shek "greatly excited", and he did not know that the little devil had already announced his withdrawal from the "League of Nations"! People don't want to play games with you anymore, and he's still dreaming there!

Lessons from the past: The 918 Incident and the Lugou Bridge Incident, the League of Nations has said a few words that are not painful or itchy, is it useful? No! But Jiang didn't want to resist Japan at all, so he always dreamed of this fantasy!

At 10 o'clock on the night of November 4, Chiang Kai-shek led Bai Chongxi, Gu Zhu, and others to Nanxiang, the headquarters of the Central Army of the Kuomintang Songhu Front, by train in the rain, and convened an emergency military meeting attended by generals above the division commander in an elementary school.

At the meeting, Chiang Kai-shek said that the meeting of the Nine-Power Pact had a great deal to do with the fate of the country, and openly said that "this is the hope of China." He also asked the generals to make greater efforts to support the Shanghai battlefield for another period of at least 10 days to two weeks, in order to gain strong sympathy and support in the international community.

After the meeting, it was announced that the order to retreat had been revoked, and the troops held their original positions. When the new order reached the position, the troops were in an uproar, and the order was repeated twice in a short period of time, which greatly affected the morale of the Chinese defenders, and some soldiers who had already rolled up their blankets and were about to leave had to hurriedly return to their positions, and the order of the ranks began to be chaotic.

Five hours later, at dawn on November 5, 1937, the newly formed 10th Army of the Little Devils, under the command of Yanagawa Heisuke, was escorted by the fleet to make a sudden landing at Caojing Town, Quangongting, Jinsiniang Bridge and other places near Jinshanwei in Hangzhou Bay, outflanking the southern part of the Chinese army's defense line in Songhu.

On November 12, 1937, Shanghai fell!

In the course of this contest on the Songhu battlefield, Seishiro Sakagaki's performance scored full marks and became the leading actor. Best Supporting Actor, then it has to be Chiang Kai-shek!

Chiang Kai-shek usually made some small moves, played clever tricks, got a piece of land when the warlords were fighting, and became a small warlord to the sky. For example, his territory has always been in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it was still prosperous at that time.

However, if you want to master a country, Chiang Kai-shek has no strategic mind at all, it is really difficult to catch ducks on the shelves and be strong, but unfortunately he himself does not know!

The coach is incompetent and exhausted to death. The poor 300,000 soldiers of the National Army on the Songhu battlefield were all buried in the hands of Chiang Kai-shek, and their ambition to serve the country and their blood were all in vain.

On December 1, 1937, the little devil took advantage of the victory to pursue and officially attacked Nanjing; On December 10, 1937, Tang Shengzhi, the commander-in-chief of the Nanjing battlefield, fled; On December 13, 1937, the capital of the Nationalist Government fell.

The army of the little devil is invincible, and the momentum is like a bamboo, so naturally there is nothing to do with the navy, and Yamamoto Fifty-six feels very lost. In order to prove that his navy can still do anything, he wrote to His Majesty the Emperor.

On January 7, 1938, the Emperor of the Little Devil approved Yamamoto's reciprocation, and the Admiralty, the headquarters of the Admiralty, finally issued an order: the Navy could wait for an opportunity to occupy Qingdao and enter the Jiaodong Peninsula.

At 7:52 a.m. on January 10, Vice Admiral Toyoda, commander of the Fourth Fleet of the Little Devils, gave the order to attack. The first troops of the little devils landed without encountering any resistance.

At 1:45 p.m., more than 3,000 marines landed. At 3:30 p.m., the Qingdao Municipal Government was occupied, and at 6:30 p.m., Qingdao was fully occupied.

The capture of Qingdao was carried out by the Japanese Fourth Fleet, which consisted of a total of 57 ships, including the cruiser Ashigara (the flagship of Vice Admiral Toyota), the light cruiser Kuma, the seaplane carrier Notoro, and the special seaplane carrier Kinugasamaru.

It's a pity that Han Fuyu didn't fire a shot at all, and he had already pulled the troops away. So although the little devil is powerful and murderous, it is completely useless. It was as if a martial arts master punched out with all his strength, but as a result, he hit the air and almost flashed his waist.

The little devils on the 2 inland river shallow water gunboats near Jiang Gezhuang rushed all the way over, blowing the sea breeze on the sea, watching the sea view for more than two months, and they could have killed in the future, but now they can't do anything.

The little devils were filled with grief and indignation for a while, and they were unwilling to "quietly enter the village here, and don't want to shoot a gun". In the end, he opened his stance and shelled indiscriminately high on the shore for about 10 minutes, saying that he also participated in the "great battle".

It was also at this time that the little devil finally knew about the huge changes that had happened in Jinzhou, Yingkou, Dalian, and Lushun.

Vice Admiral Toyota is afraid that the unknown devil will come to the Jiaodong Peninsula for a while! Therefore, the commander of the 3rd Diving Squadron, Rear Admiral Tamazo Hoji, and the destroyers Asakaze and Haruka, and the cruiser Okishima were ordered to cruise on the sea.

Zhang Bingyang and their three warships came out to hang out, the Feilong No. 302 destroyer, and just happened to find the little devil's Chaofeng destroyer!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
