Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Layout in Qingdao

The transaction between the two parties has been successfully completed. After paying a certain amount of deposit, the next step is to decide on the specific delivery location... >

So much heavy equipment, especially large-caliber howitzers and cannons weighing several tons.Li Guosheng believes that, relying on China's current road conditions, coupled with the blockade and greed of other troops of the surrounding National Government.If you go by land, these equipment and ammunition will definitely become the object of competition of all parties and cannot be successfully transported to the territory of Ludong Special Zone.

And this directly means that it is absolutely impossible for this batch of equipment to enter the Ludong Special Zone by land.The land route is not possible, so Li Guosheng has only one way to go by sea and land...>

It is undoubtedly the best choice to conduct transactions at Qingdao Port, and then transport these large-caliber heavy artillery and corresponding shells to the designated area through the Jiaoji Railway Line.However, this directly exposed a very serious problem. So far, Qingdao, including the entire Qingdao military port, is still in the hands of the Japanese. [

In the small city of Qingdao, the Japanese army, which can almost be regarded as a mortal enemy, may have watched such a large sum of arms, especially the heavy artillery that the Japanese "government" coveted, passed safely. In your own jurisdiction, can you conduct transactions in your own jurisdiction smoothly?The answer is yes...>

Therefore, in order to truly complete this transaction, the various equipment and ammunition that I urgently need must be safely transported to the four counties in eastern Shandong to equip my troops.There is only one way in front of me, and that is to transfer Qingdao to Germany before making a formal transaction with Germany.As well as the entire Qingdao seaport, it is completely in their own hands.

Relying on the elite soldiers in their hands, relying on the "Snow Leopard" combat unit that has become more and more "like" for future special forces.Li Guosheng was very confident. In a short period of time, he took down the remnants of the Japanese army with less than [-] people in Qingdao City, including the heavy defense of the Japanese army, and also stationed a military port that had eliminated destroyers. There was absolutely no problem.

but.After taking down the entire Qingdao and the Qingdao military port, what about the next defense...>

Take the current chaotic state of the Japanese government.Even if you are on Chinese soil, no matter how you provoke each other.At least in the past two years, it is impossible for the Japanese "government" to send out heavy troops.Regardless of the increasingly chaotic situation in the country, he sent troops to China to fight a decisive land battle with himself.

However, in addition to the powerful infantry, Japan also has a powerful navy that can dominate the entire Asia...>

Although it is impossible for the navy to land and fight, the large number of naval guns equipped by the Japanese navy can cause huge losses to the coastal cities of the entire Ludong Special Zone.Especially the Qingdao military port in front of him, which is about to crystallize his future naval hopes.It will directly face the unrestricted and timeless violent attack of the Japanese navy.

The destruction of Qingdao and the destruction of the naval base meant that in a short period of time, his own naval hopes would be shattered.This is definitely not what Li Guosheng wants to see.

However, for the various equipment and ammunition he urgently needs, Qingdao has to win.

Ever since, Li Guosheng, who looked conflicted, fell into deep thought directly under the gaze of Jack and the others.

'Take Qingdao.Hold Qingdao'…>

Holding a naval port, and when the opponent has a strong navy, is definitely different from defending a county on land.Because it has an absolute "sex" factor. In the face of the attack of the enemy's naval guns, the defenders must have a coastal defense artillery force capable of suppressing the enemy's naval guns.

Otherwise, no matter how many troops the defenders had, they would disappear in an instant under the bombardment of Japanese naval artillery shells.

Under the guidance of this idea, a coastal defense artillery force capable of suppressing the Japanese navy.In Li Guosheng's mind, a very complete train of thought and idea immediately emerged.

According to the current chaotic situation in Japan, for a small Qingdao military port, no matter how much the Japanese navy wants to retaliate, it can dispatch two destroyers.Because, with the lack of national strength of the Japanese resources, unless they encounter a very urgent situation, they will never use large battleships like burning money.

In order to defeat the possible destroyers of the Japanese army, your own coastal defense artillery unit must form a large-caliber coastal defense artillery unit with a caliber of more than 150 mm and a range of more than [-] meters.

The real large-caliber coastal defense gun, coupled with its short lifespan and bulky gun body... With Li Guosheng's current strength, he absolutely cannot use it, nor can he afford it.Ever since, with the end of World War I, a large number of decommissioned warship guns of the German Navy directly became Li Guosheng's preferred target.

Use naval guns against naval guns, plus your own coastal defense artillery units are located on land, with stable and reliable forts as cover.Li Guosheng believed that as long as he went through rigorous training, the hit rate of the naval guns in his hands would be far higher than that of the little devils' naval guns on the sea.

Thinking of this, Li Guosheng said directly to Jack who also had a dignified face: "Mr. Jack, in order to better complete this transaction and ensure the safety of the specific transaction location. I also want to buy a pair from your company or your country. Batch equipment...>

"Mr. Li, what kind of equipment specifically?" Facing the huge amount of reports, Jack certainly didn't want the deal to be aborted because of the final trading location, so he hurriedly asked.

"Naval guns...>

At the same time, Li Guosheng also took out a check for [-] oceans.

Looking at the [-] ocean check, Jack's heart immediately became excited.However, he also knew the naval guns of those retired warships.It is definitely not something that a small company manager can decide.However, when he thought of the revenge of fifty thousand oceans, he still had strong expectations.opened the mouth.

"Mr. Li, don't worry, I will try my best to facilitate this time...>

Nothing else.Under Li Guosheng's heavy purchase, three double-linked 203mm naval guns, six corresponding spare barrels, and [-] rounds of shells...>

Of course, so many naval guns must be installed on suitable forts.There must be enough engineers.With no one available in Li Guosheng's hands, [-] retired German naval gunners and [-] corresponding engineers also set foot on the ship under Li Guosheng's heavy hiring.Sailing to distant Qingdao, China...

2000 million oceans, plus a large number of naval guns purchased later, Li Guosheng finally used four-fifths of it... >

Back at the headquarters of the Ludong Special Zone, which is Weixian County, where the Ninth Army headquarters is located, Li Guosheng began to follow his own train of thought, within a month.Completely win and control the layout of this battle of Qingdao.

In the war room of the military headquarters, facing Li Guosheng's proposal, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili directly expressed his worries.

"Army seat, occupying Qingdao, with the current strength and strength of our Ninth Army, it is definitely a matter of minutes. However, after the occupation, the humble officer is worried that the little devil's navy may retaliate. After all, we accept no navy , while the Japanese navy can unscrupulously attack our coastal areas from the sea... >

Seeing Li Guanghua, the deputy army commander, also nodded in agreement, Li Guosheng smiled.Immediately thereafter, the large-caliber naval guns that had been purchased from Germany were planned to be set up in Qingdao in the future, and the plan to form an anti-artillery unit dedicated to defending the Qingdao military port was revealed.

In an instant, Li Guanghua, who was still worried just now, showed a relaxed expression.

In his eyes, as long as the coastal defense guns are completed, with these large-caliber naval guns purchased from Germany, it is enough to repel all Japanese ships that invaded the Qingdao military port.At that time, the whole of Qingdao will completely become the possession of the Ninth Army.

But at this moment, another question was raised by the Chief of Staff Jiang Baili: "Army, use coastal defense guns to defend the Qingdao military port. I fully agree with this plan. However, there is one key point we must pay attention to. Stay, that's the time."

"Xiaozhi once studied in Europe and has a certain understanding of coastal defense artillery and naval artillery. It takes only a few months for our coastal defense artillery to learn to operate these naval artillery and enter actual combat in a short period of time. It is simply impossible to train. More importantly, if the bulky naval guns want to form combat effectiveness, they must be installed on reinforced forts, which will take another half a month to a month."

"Therefore, between when we completely occupied Qingdao and when the Japanese navy dispatched troops to retaliate, we must buy at least three months. Otherwise, our coastal defense artillery force has not yet formed an army. Will be razed to the ground by Japanese naval forces...>

Just after Jiang Baili finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of Li Guosheng and Li Guanghua suddenly became serious.The three of them also began to concentrate on solving this time problem.

Ten minutes later, under the constant advice of the chief of staff, Jiang Baili, the idea of ​​"secretly occupying Qingdao" came out of Li Guosheng's mouth.

"Old Li, chief of staff, my idea is this: dispatch the 'Snow Leopard' special forces to control all the connections of the Japanese army to the outside world as much as possible before the battle begins. End the battle in the shortest possible time and secretly occupy Qingdao."

"As far as I know, in the entire Shandong area, apart from Qingdao, only Jinan has a certain number of Japanese troops stationed. With the entire eastern Shandong completely falling into our hands, the ground communication channel between Qingdao and the Japanese army in Jinan has been closed. We will truncate it. I believe. As long as the whole operation is fast, and we block the news well. Not to mention too much, one month, the news that Qingdao was secretly occupied by us can be blocked for at least a month...>

Li Guosheng's thoughts also made Jiang Baili's eyes light up.Immediately afterwards, the proposal added: "Army, during the operation of the 'Snow Leopard' unit, if the Japanese army's code book can be found. Continue to maintain radio contact with the Japanese Consulate in Jinan. I can assure you, use Qingdao and Jinan The ground contact of the Japanese army was completely interrupted, and they could only communicate by radio. Even if the news is concealed for two to three months, it is not impossible.”[

"Two to three months, plus the time required for the Japanese navy to dispatch troops. Before the arrival of the Japanese navy, we can seize the time and train a coastal defense artillery force capable of defending Qingdao...>

In the middle of the entire Ninth Army, the 'Snow Leopard' special force and the guard group selected from the whole army are undoubtedly the sharp swords in Li Guosheng's hands.In order to achieve the purpose of 'secret', but also for the quick conclusion of the entire battle.As soon as Chief of Staff Jiang Baili's words fell, Li Guosheng thought of the two sharp swords in his hands.

"Adjutant, immediately call Captain Zhang of the security regiment. Captain Chen of the 'Snow Leopard' Special Forces, hurry up...>

After continuous expansion and training, the first batch of members of the 'Snow Leopard' team have all become the core of the entire team.The total strength of the entire special forces team has also directly increased from the original reinforcement squad.Directly become a battalion now... >

However, among the more than 300 special forces members, there are less than 100 special forces members who have truly formed combat effectiveness and can go into battle.

For the concealment of the entire operation, Captain Chen Xinggang.Directly took less than 100 special forces members, changed into plain clothes, and brought a few short guns, and appeared around Qingdao...>

Perhaps it is because the local war between China and Japan has ended, and Qingdao, where naval warships are stationed, cannot be attacked in a short period of time.The big city of Qingdao, in addition to the Japanese army headquarters, material warehouses, and military port...>

There were less than 100 members of the Special Forces, and they were dressed in the clothes of ordinary people. They hardly encountered any obstacles. They directly used various identities to escape the inspection of the little devil sentinels at the intersection and entered Qingdao...

Entering the city of Qingdao, less than a hundred special forces members, like fish entering the sea, quickly rushed to their own battlefield with the combat team as a unit...>

Qingdao Japanese Army Headquarters, Qingdao Japanese Army Barracks, Qingdao Japanese Army Material Warehouse... Each target was completely under the surveillance and investigation of the Special Forces in less than a day...>

Li Guosheng, the commander of the Ninth Army, is also well-trained, second only to the guards of the Special Forces.At this moment, under the personal command of the head of the regiment, Zhang Huxiao, with the company as a unit, they secretly rushed around Qingdao.

In a small courtyard less than 50 meters away from the Japanese Army Headquarters in Qingdao, a combat team of 12 special forces members had been lurking here for a week.

With the coming of night again, Qingdao, which was completely shrouded in night, once again became the activity space of these black ghosts.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and after a day's rest, a dozen special forces members were rejuvenated again.Gathered directly beside Liu Xiansheng, the leader of the action team, waiting for Liu Xiansheng to issue new combat missions...>

"Brothers, after a week of investigation, we have fully figured out the situation around the Japanese army headquarters. Tonight, we will enter the interior of the Little Devils Gendarmerie Command to conduct investigations... >

There was no rhetorical answer, the order was issued, and a dozen special forces members straightened out their equipment as quickly as possible.Leaning against the wall, he began to close his eyes and meditate, waiting for the departure time...

An hour later, that is, one o'clock in the morning when people are most tired in a day.The twelve special forces members disappeared into the dark night directly under the personal leadership of team leader Liu Xiansheng.

At the same time, the Japanese barracks, the heavily defended military port...>

Under the continuous investigation of six or seven special operations teams for more than a week, the specific deployment of more than [-] Japanese troops in Qingdao, including the number of radio stations they communicate with the outside world, and the specific location of the radio stations...>

At the same time, after more than a week of secret mobilization and deployment, more than 2000 elite members of the guard regiment.Like hunters waiting for their prey, they quietly lurk around Qingdao City, waiting for Li Guosheng to issue the final attack order.

The military headquarters of the Ninth Army faced the city defense map of Qingdao that the staff had just drawn based on intelligence.Chief of Staff Jiang Baili, who was commanding an actual battle for the first time since entering the Ninth Army, had an expression of excitement and expectation on his face.Facing Li Guosheng beside him, he asked directly.

"Military seat, it's almost time...>

"According to the original plan, at one o'clock in the morning tonight, the operation will start on time... >

"Please rest assured, the military seat, to ensure that the task is completed... >
