Shiraishi Tomohisa knew very well in his heart that there was already a lot of luck in taking Qingdao, and this time the task would only be more difficult, it was good for the British to be forced to leave, what if they didn't leave? Did you really want to incite the Japanese to fight the British warships? This is not ordinarily difficult, and even if it succeeds, the British will definitely find trouble with the Red Party after the truth of this matter is revealed in the future, and whether they will sacrifice themselves as scapegoats when the time comes, Shiraishi Tomohisa is still somewhat worried even though he already has a lot of trust in Hu Weidong

At this time, Hu Weidong smiled and patted Shiraishi Tomohisa's shoulder and said, "If there is a difficulty, you can't hide it, after all, sooner or later you will be discovered by the devil." ”

Shiraishi Tomohisa suddenly felt relieved when he heard this, and then he was moved, he naturally knew that the truth of the Qingdao Mutiny would be known by the Japanese army base camp sooner or later, but the difference between knowing late and knowing early was not ordinarily big. From this, Shiraishi Tomohisa confirmed that Hu Weidong did not regard these Japanese officers and soldiers as pure cannon fodder, but really regarded them as his subordinates.

"The equipment of the Japanese column has always been according to the standards of devils, and there is a big gap between it and the main force, but it is always sent out to carry out dangerous and difficult tasks, are you very unbalanced?" , Hu Weidong said suddenly.

"No, no." , Shiraishi Tomohisa hurriedly argued.

Hu Weidong smiled when he heard this, and comforted, "I admit that at first glance this is indeed unfair, but our main forces have been tested for a long time, and the hardships and dangers experienced during this period are unimaginable to you, otherwise our army would not have developed from scratch to today's scale, so they are qualified to give priority to equipping those advanced weapons." Most of the commanders and fighters of the Japanese column were aggressors a year ago. If you get the same treatment all at once, it's unfair! That's why I've always given dangerous and difficult tasks to the Sun."

"Are you testing us?" , Shiraishi Tomohisa immediately understood the meaning of Hu Weidong's words, he took a deep breath, gave a military salute to Hu Weidong heavily, and said loudly again, "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”。 So he went out and gathered his troops. In fact, Shiraishi Tomohisa naturally knows that what Hu Weidong said may not be all true, but in fact. As the Rizon (and its predecessors) completed all kinds of difficult and dangerous missions again and again, in just over a year, their Chinese comrades-in-arms had almost completely eliminated their hostility. As a result, Shiraishi Tomohisa clearly realized that although those difficult and dangerous tasks were not easy to complete, the benefits were also huge, which was much fairer than when he was still in the Japanese army. In that case, what is he Shiraishi Tomohisa to be afraid of? Many people think that he Shiraishi Zhijiu is timid and afraid of death, but they don't know that he just doesn't want to die needlessly, as long as the benefits are big enough, he is not afraid of any risks

Due to the experience gained in the Battle of Qingdao, the performance of the Japanese Column this time was even better, and it was impossible for the Japanese base camp to publicize the Qingdao Mutiny everywhere for the sake of saving face. As a result, the unsuspecting Weihaiwei Japanese army was also hit. And the reaction of the British made Shiraishi Tomohisa breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise he really didn't know what to do. Because Britain's national strength was declining and Europe was under tremendous pressure from Germany, it could only continue to shrink its forces in the Far East, and the officers and men of the British fleet, who had been strictly forbidden to clash with the Japanese army, saw the Japanese army looking gearing up to fight, and they were afraid that they would become the scapegoats of the top brass after an accident. I could only evacuate Weihaiwei in a hurry and drive to Hong Kong, and I didn't even have time to take away a lot of supplies. And the Japanese troops in Weihaiwei were not happy for a few minutes before they were disarmed by the Japanese in a daze

Since the Japanese army in Weihaiwei was not only subordinate to the navy, but also a second-line unit with a low status, the fighting will was not comparable to that of the stubborn Japanese army, and it was basically unable to form a strong resistance under the sudden attack. The results were just a few minutes later. More than 3,000 Japanese troops in Weihaiwei were all solved, including a minesweeper, two submarine hunters, two minelayers, five patrol gunboats, ten ships and a large number of supplies were captured by the Japanese column, including more than 100 mines, which were estimated to be used to prevent the British if necessary, and there were also some mines in the materials discarded by the British ships, which was enough to block the shipping lane. Strictly speaking, this amount is still not enough to completely seal off the outside of Qingdao, but it can already ensure that the devil's fleet cannot directly rush into Qingdao Port and shell it at will, and at the same time, as long as you don't forget the location of the mines (it doesn't matter if you forget, just send someone to pilot the port.) If you are careful when sailing, the Chinese ships can enter and exit freely, so the ten Japanese ships in Weihaiwei were also forced by the Japanese to drive back to Qingdao Port by the captured devil naval officers and soldiers, and Shiraishi Tomohisa also became the official division commander as he wished...,

After laying mines, Hu Weidong no longer had to worry about the threat of Japanese naval guns and submarines for the time being, and the only thing to worry about was the Japanese air raids; on the one hand, the land-based planes in Dalian Lushun could reach here, and on the other hand, the aircraft carriers could also launch an attack on Qingdao outside the minefield. For this reason, Hu Weidong asked the troops to be on strict alert on the one hand, and on the other hand, he seized the time to let Shen Honglie urgently train the navy. The gunners drawn from the 15th Army must also quickly learn to operate the main guns, secondary guns and anti-aircraft guns on the ship, but this is much faster than many people expected, because Hu Weidong is directly drawn from the heavy artillery brigade and air defense brigade directly under the command of the 15th Army, and the former also needs to rely on mechanical loading when operating 240mm heavy howitzers, as long as he is used to the special vision in the turret; The latter did not do much different work than they had done before, so they could get started faster. Of course, this is under the premise that Hu Weidong has no special requirements for the accuracy of artillery bombardment, but this is also a matter of no choice, standing on the ground and firing artillery, the accuracy is much higher than that on a moving warship, and the difference between the two is not something that can be adapted to in a day or two, this can only be done slowly, fortunately, the heavy artillery brigade and the air defense brigade of the 15 th Army have extremely rich experience in fighting artillery, and the speed of being qualified for the new post is much faster than everyone expected

The only regret for Hu Weidong is that most of Shen Honglie's so-called old departments are still serving in the Kuomintang Navy, and they can't be summoned by a phone call at all, not to mention that even if people are willing, it is not easy to come soon in the civil aviation industry, and Hu Weidong's idea of counting on them to help them is really a bit taken for granted (you are welcome to your support, which is my biggest motivation.) )
