Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

In the original German-built fortification group less than one kilometer away from Qingdao Military Port, Jiang Qiwei, the head of the coastal defense artillery regiment who has taken office, is commanding engineers and subordinates, shouting slogans, and with the assistance and guidance of German engineers, the last Naval guns with a diameter of more than [-] mm are installed in place.

"Kang...>

Looking at the excited and excited subordinates, the regiment leader Jiang Qiwei climbed directly onto the three-meter-high cannon body.

After a quick glance at the subordinates who quickly gathered around the naval guns, Captain Jiang Qiwei pressed his hands and said loudly: "Brothers, everyone has seen that these large-caliber naval guns in front of us are the guys we will eat in the future , At the same time, it is also a sharp weapon for us to defend the Qingdao military port."

"My request to everyone is very simple. After a month of training, the hit rate of all gunners must exceed [-]%. Otherwise, don't say that you are my coastal defense gunner. In addition, I want to tell you a good news , with the approval of the Military Seat, it was agreed to grant us [-] rounds of training ammunition for Wumen naval guns. Therefore, I hope that everyone will not disappoint the Army Seat’s trust in the next time, train well, and help the Army Seat to guard Qingdao Military Port. Waiting for the future One day, we will use the naval guns in our hands to severely clean up the little devil fleet who dared to invade our Qingdao military port. Tell me, do you have confidence...>

"There is...>

The security division has a high military salary that has never been deducted; every day is full, and there are meals with meat; generous rewards and a perfect pension system.In addition, after my family entered Ludong.The land that has been allocated one after another... is supported by one after another such favorable conditions that I could not have even imagined before.Whether it is the officers and soldiers of the former garrison division or the former captives of the Northern Expedition, after there is no worries.From the beginning to the end, the morale was very high.

"Wrong, wrong, it's not a right turn. It's a left turn...at six o'clock, a distance of 5000 meters, reloading immediately...>

Inside a huge reinforced concrete fort on the mountainside.Accompanied by the order of the platoon leader and observer.The several-meter-long gun barrel, directly under the control of several gunners, slowly extended out of the black muzzle.Get moving... >

The artillery was quickly aimed according to the predetermined coordinates. With the assistance of a special loading vehicle, a shell weighing 150 kg was inserted directly from the tail of the gun barrel into the heavy bore of the naval gun.

"Closing bolt for final aiming check...>

"Kang...>

"Ready...>

"Fire...>

And just as everyone in the fort was about to breathe a sigh of relief, they sat on the base of the fort for a rest, panting.A retired officer of the German Navy, who had been standing by the gun position and never took his eyes off the pocket watch, growled with a displeased face.

"Can't rest. Stand up for me, your loading and aiming speed is still too slow... >

"Do you know what this shell means. Let me tell you, in a real naval battle, it is very likely that this shell is the shell that directly kills the other party or your own... >

Although everyone was very angry about the roar of the German devils.However, anger is anger, and what needs to be trained needs to be trained.Because, before the training, the regiment, no, not only the regiment, but even Jiang Baili, the chief of staff of the army, promulgated a military discipline with righteous words: During the training process of the troops, the individuality of these German instructors is the order of the commander.As a troop, the instructor's orders must be unconditionally carried out.Otherwise, the military law will be used at the least, and the troops will be expelled at the worst.

More importantly, these people are all aware of the fact that the instructor in front of them is scolding themselves.However, what he said is very correct, and more importantly, these are all for his own good, so that he has more chances to save his life on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, the dozen or so people didn't hesitate any more.Straightforwardly resisting the constant fatigue, he stood up from the ground, and under the command of the platoon leader, he once again devoted himself to a new round of intense training...

Half a month later, in the same concrete fort.Under the watchful eyes of the German instructors, a dozen gunners completed a series of aiming and shell loading actions in just five seconds...>

A new round of training was completed, with more than a dozen gunners, including more than a dozen ammunition men behind.Under the command of the platoon leader, he quickly stood on the side of the naval gun, waiting for the instruction of the German instructor...>

"Excellent...>

"I can proudly tell you that you are the best soldiers I have ever seen. In less than a month of training, you have reached the level of [-]% of the German naval artillery officers and soldiers. Now, I can tell you with confidence. With everyone The current firing speed is enough to suppress the artillery fire of the Japanese navy on the battlefield...>

"Now that the initial training level has met my requirements, next, we will start the final stage of actual combat training. I hope everyone can continue to maintain high morale and complete the live ammunition training in the shortest possible time... >

"Boom...>

"Instructor, how is it? Did you hit the target...>

"Boom...>

"Unfortunately, the impact point is about 200 meters away from the target...>

After the regret, the face of the German instructor also became serious in an instant.Facing the dozens of subordinates who were also full of regrets in front of them.He ordered decisively.

"Now I order everyone to rest for 5 minutes and prepare for the second live-fire drill...>

"Yes, instructor...>

In the staff department of the coastal defense artillery regiment, more than 20 experienced gunners and staff officers are under the guidance of five German instructors.According to some simple data provided by the German instructors, quickly calculate the specific coordinates of the shelling target...>

Soon, a combat staff officer rushed to the head of the regiment, Jiang Qiwei, and reported loudly with excitement: "Reporting to the regiment, it has been calculated, and the distance is 1 meters...>

"Very good, immediately report the coordinates to the frontline artillery unit... >

"Yes, group seat...>

"Mr. Major, what do you think of the performance of these soldiers?"

"Captain Jiang, I can tell you with certainty that the soldiers in front of me are definitely the hardest-working and hardest-working soldiers I have ever seen in my life. Over the past half a month, their progress has been very fast, which has simply surpassed mine. imagine...>

Just when Jiang Qiwei was about to breathe a sigh of relief.Major Jim changed the subject directly, and criticized mercilessly: "However, Commander Jiang, for the sake of the lives of thousands of soldiers in the coastal defense artillery regiment, I still have to tell you a very bad fact. Compared with the excellent German artillerymen, the calculation speed of these soldiers in front of them is not even half of the level."

"So, in order for your soldiers to find the enemy more quickly and destroy it. To allow your subordinates to have more chances of surviving on the battlefield, everyone's calculation speed must be at least improved on the current basis. More than [-]%. Otherwise, once they enter the battlefield, they will only be passively beaten... >

"Thank you Major Jim for reminding me, I will definitely let my brothers continue to make persistent efforts... >

When the First Coast Defense Artillery Regiment under the Ninth Army started live-fire drills in Qingdao Military Port.What Li Guosheng and others did not expect was that the sound of live ammunition drills had exposed the accident in Qingdao invisibly.

At the Japanese Consulate in Jinan, when he heard the report from his subordinates, Consul Xi Tianjingyi could hardly believe his ears.Facing the subordinates in front of him, he asked directly with a shocked face: "Mr. Zhongtian, what you said is true. The Qingdao Military Port is conducting live ammunition drills, and it has been going on for several days."

"Ha Yi, you can follow me. According to the news from the merchant ships in the past, the explosion of the artillery shells that happened off the coast of Qingdao Military Port was definitely made by large-caliber naval artillery shells... >

"Large-caliber naval guns, this is even more impossible...>

"More importantly, according to the order sent by the military department, the military actions of all the defenders in Qingdao must be reported to the military department by our consulate before they can take action. Who gave Qingdao such a big thing as a military exercise? The command has such great power to make its own decisions.”[

"There is a problem. There must be a problem that we don't know about... >

Speaking of this, Xi Tianjingyi's eyes quickly flashed a sharp look.Facing Captain Nakata.He asked suspiciously: "Mr. Zhongtian, during this time, has there been any problem with the contact with the Qingdao headquarters...>

"Report Your Excellency the Consul, there is no problem...>

"Uh...>

After a short period of contemplation, he directly ordered: "No matter what, we must find out what happened to the explosion of naval guns and shells off the coast of Qingdao in the past few days? That's it. After you go down, you will immediately report to Qingdao The headquarters sent a telegram asking for details...>

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency the Consul..."

Infantry, Artillery, Coastal Artillery, Navy>

Just when Li Guosheng studied and modified the ammunition production line in front of him with the German engineers who came to China based on what he had learned.A guard who had been following Chief of Staff Jiang Baili rushed in out of breath.

Before Li Guosheng could react, the guard's anxious voice reached Li Guosheng's ears: "Army seat, the chief of staff has an urgent order to let you go back to the military headquarters immediately. It's urgent...>

"What's the matter, so anxious...>

"The humble job is not clear...>

"Qingdao...>

Then, without stopping at all, with the assistance of the war horse, he ran all the way and returned to the military headquarters in the county...

Seeing the war room, facing the battle sand table, the Chief of Staff Jiang Baili also had a dignified face.Li Guosheng didn't care about the fatigue caused by riding all the way, so he asked directly.

"Chief of Staff, has the incident in Qingdao been brought to light...>

Under Li Guosheng's gaze, although Jiang Baili didn't want to, he still nodded helplessly.He opened the mouth and said: "Junzuo, even if it hasn't been exposed yet, I can be sure that the news that we have captured Qingdao will be known to the Japanese army by tonight at the latest."

"What happened... You know, according to our original assumption, we can still hide this news for at least half a month?" After getting the confirmation, Li Guosheng's heart suddenly became tense, and he asked solemnly.

Chief of Staff Jiang Baili directly raised the telegram he had just received in his hand, and said.

"We have calculated everything, but forgot a very important thing, that is the live ammunition drill being carried out by the Coastal Defense Artillery Corps...>

"Just over an hour ago, the little devil's Jinan consulate just sent a phone call to Qingdao, asking about the live ammunition drill. Although our radio operator, responding temporarily, responded to a telegram to the little devil. However, I can be sure , The little devil consul will never believe the telegram we sent back. So, no accident, the little devil's intelligence personnel have entered the city of Qingdao... >

"You bastard, you have a good nose..." Li Guosheng couldn't help cursing with hatred on his face.

Immediately, as if thinking of something, he turned to Jiang Baili and asked directly: "Chief of Staff, since the matter has been "revealed", it means that the Japanese navy may invade our Qingdao military port within a week at the latest...>

"Very difficult...>

"According to Commander Jiang's report, the live-fire exercise has just started for three days. There are no naval guns, and only three training rounds have been fired. More importantly, the hit rate of these gunners is only 30.00% so far. No. If we face the elite Japanese naval force, even if we get away with it, we will pay a very heavy price... >

"So serious...>
