Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

german mercenary

The coastal defense artillery force has not really formed yet, and has formed combat effectiveness.In addition, Li Guosheng has no air force in his hands that can suppress Japanese naval ships.After half an hour of thinking, Li Guosheng's mind was still in chaos, without any thoughts at all.

"Chief of Staff, there is still no way...>

Then, facing Jiang Baili in front of him, he ordered without any room for negotiation: "Chief of Staff, in order to better command this battle and reduce the losses of the troops. At the same time, in order to better understand the strength of our coastal defense artillery regiment, Determine the battle plan. I have decided to rush to Qingdao immediately and personally command the battle that is about to break out. As for the military affairs, I will leave it to you for the time being... >

"Military seat, don't worry...>

Although there is no way, but in order to reduce Jiang Baili's worries and worries.Li Guosheng, the army commander, still pretended to be relaxed and said.

"The little devil's warship is on the sea, and we are on land. It is absolutely impossible to take advantage of the advantage and end the battle as soon as possible. Therefore, a head-to-head land-sea battle is necessary. But don't worry, when the time comes, I will definitely Responsiveness. Soldiers come and block, with the least casualties as much as possible in exchange for the greatest results. You know, no matter when I am, Li Guosheng, I am not a person who suffers. I promise not to let the little devil take advantage of me... >

Not beyond Li Guosheng's expectation, Li Guosheng appeared at the former Japanese headquarters in Qingdao.Qingdao was occupied by the Ninth Army, and the news that all the defenders, including the Naval Squadron, had been wiped out overnight, had been transmitted by radio waves to the Japanese military headquarters in Tokyo, which is across the sea from China.

"Baga. The Ninth Army, this is the Ninth Army of China again. What do they want to do? Do they really want to be the sworn enemy of the Great Japanese Empire, and are they not afraid of bloody revenge from the Imperial Army?" said the Japanese Prime Minister who just took office. Hamaguchi Yuyuki.Suppressing the anger that kept coming in his heart, he squeezed the telegram in his hand and roared loudly.

You must be clear that you have just taken office and urgently need various achievements to stabilize your position.Stabilize your own ruling power over the entire cabinet.During the more than a month since he took office, Yuyuki Hamaguchi, as the prime minister, has been doing this all the time, trying to maintain the increasingly corrupt economic system of the empire as much as possible.Ensure domestic stability.

And just when I worked hard for more than a month, I just started to improve.In the hands of 'Qingdao fell.Once the news that the warriors of the imperial army were killed in battle, and even a squadron of the navy was wiped out, was spread.can imagine.All my hard work in the early stage will definitely come to naught.What's more, it will also affect the position of the prime minister.

But to solve this serious problem, prevent the situation from developing in a bad direction.In front of Prime Minister Yuyuki Hamaguchi, there was only one way to deal with it. Immediately send troops to retaliate against the Ninth Army, and use the army's iron and blood methods to deal with the humiliation that the Japanese Imperial Army has suffered many times in front of the Ninth Army.

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Yuyuki Hamaguchi seems to have found a way to solve the immediate predicament.A pair of revived eyes looked directly at the chief of the army beside him.

Facing Prime Minister Yuyuki Hamaguchi's gaze, the Chief of the Army immediately understood the Prime Minister's purpose.However, after two consecutive failed attacks and a series of military expansions by the Ninth Army, the total strength has reached an astonishing [-] men.

Although the chief of the army is arrogant, he has to admit the fact that if he wants to take down the Ninth Army on Chinese soil, even the heroic imperial army must dispatch at least two field divisions.

With the current situation of the empire, two field divisions are simply impossible.Therefore, before Prime Minister Yuyuki Hamaguchi spoke, the Chief of the Army refused directly: "Your Excellency, regarding China's Ninth Army, the Imperial Army is temporarily unable to launch retaliatory "retaliatory" military taboos, Your Excellency, please forgive me. "

After being deflated in front of the powerful chief of the army, Prime Minister Yuyuki Hamaguchi immediately shifted his gaze to the chief of the navy, hoping that the navy could help him vent his anger and solve his current predicament.Facing Admiral Kato, Prime Minister of the Navy, he spoke expectantly.

"Katou-kun, the army's two previous attacks not only lost troops, but also lost the face of the Empire of Japan. The counterattack of the Chinese Ninth Army not only wiped out a large number of Imperial Army troops, but also wiped out a lot of Imperial Army troops. Navy ships. I mean, in order to show the Chinese Ninth Army the might of the Japanese Empire, the navy immediately mobilized some ships to attack Qingdao Naval Port in retaliation for the Chinese Ninth Army’s military action to occupy Qingdao...>

It is a rare opportunity to suppress the old rival army.What's more, in the next year, through this victory, more of the limited domestic military expenditure can be allocated.As the chief of the navy, Admiral Kato, why not do it.

As soon as Hamaguchi Yuyuki's voice fell, Chief Kato took over the task with a face of confidence, and loudly assured: "Please rest assured, Prime Minister, our Imperial Japanese Navy will never waste the Imperial Japanese Army like the Army. Limited military expenditures. In this attack, I will definitely let the Chinese army know what the truly invincible Imperial Japanese Army is.”

"Yoxi, very good, Kato-kun, here, I wish you success in advance... >

"Romper...>

In less than two days, a cruiser and a small formation of two destroyers left Japan's naval port in Yokohama in a mighty way, heading for the vast ocean.

There is no military radar, and Li Guosheng's power has just risen, and the limited intelligence power has not even spread across the country, let alone Japan, which is across the sea from China...>

Hence the attack of the Japanese navy.Li Guosheng didn't know.However, Li Guosheng is clear about one thing. If he wants to defend Qingdao Military Port, the only force he can rely on is the Coastal Defense Artillery Regiment located behind Qingdao Military Port.

After a night-long rest in Qingdao.Li Guosheng, who was full of energy, came directly to the shore defense artillery position where the training was in full swing.

"Boom...>

"It's a live ammunition exercise...>

Perhaps it was because of the shelling just now, Li Guosheng who had just walked to the gate of the fort.Immediately there was a strong and pungent smell of gunpowder smoke.At the same time, more than a dozen soldiers in the fort, under the command of the commander and the German instructor next to them, carried out a new round of maintenance on the artillery in an orderly manner...>

"Hi sir...>

The voice of the sentinel immediately alarmed the busy people in the fort.The platoon leader with the highest military rank was shocked when Li Guosheng actually came to his position.Also reacted immediately.A clever one, facing the busy subordinates around him.Quickly ordered: "Brothers, gather immediately. Military seat, military seat to see everyone... >

"Reporting to the military seat, Ma Wenbo, the commander of the second platoon of the Coastal Defense Artillery Regiment, is leading the entire platoon of officers and soldiers to conduct actual combat training. Please instruct the military seat...>

"Ok, hello guys... >

What disappointed Li Guosheng was that the second platoon, which had only been trained with six rounds of live ammunition, had not yet reached the level of elites.The platoon leader Ma Wenbo's face directly showed a trace of frustration.Facing the army commander Li Guosheng, he reported with a helpless face: "Army seat, the point of impact is still 100 meters away from the target... However, I guarantee that in another half a month, the brothers' shelling error will be controlled within 30 meters. Within…>

"Half a month...>

Then, he seemed to be talking to himself and said: "Half a month, I also want to give you half a month. But, our enemy, little devil, he won't give us this time... >

Just when platoon leader Ma Wenbo didn't know why and didn't know how to answer.Jiang Qiwei, head of the coastal defense artillery regiment, appeared at the gate of the fort directly with the chief of staff and several German instructors.And what Li Guosheng said to himself just now, just happened to be overheard by him.

Facing Li Guosheng, he asked directly with a solemn face: "Sir, is it the little devil calling...>

"Well... >

"According to intelligence, the Japanese "government" already knew that Qingdao was occupied by us. Not surprisingly, during this period of time, the Japanese navy will definitely not be reconciled to failure and launch a series of military retaliation against our Qingdao military port."

Having said that, Li Guosheng glanced at Jiang Qiwei, who had the same dignified expression in front of him again, and continued: "Commander Jiang, this time I am here for the retaliatory military strikes that the Japanese navy may launch at any time, and to reduce the Japanese navy. Among them, our loss. And I am standing here today with only one purpose, to truly understand the training situation of the Coastal Defense Artillery Regiment. Look at the Coastal Defense Artillery Regiment. After a month of training, they will face the ships that may be dispatched by the Japanese Navy , Do you have the ability to fight a war?"

My answer is not only related to the final decision of Li Guosheng, the commander in front of me, but also related to the safety of Qingdao, the future of my coastal defense artillery and the lives of more than 1000 soldiers.Facing Li Guosheng's eyes that could almost see through people's hearts, Jiang Qiwei reported directly with a heavy face without any exaggeration.

"Military seat, the situation is very grim...>

"So bad...>

"No. Whether it's the hit rate of the artillery shell or the calculation speed of the artillery staff, it takes time to test continuously, and then, through actual combat, it will be practiced step by step." Jiang Qiwei shook his head affirmatively and said.

Li Guosheng's heart.Because of Jiang Qiwei's answer, he immediately fell into the bottom of the valley. [

The coastal defense artillery did not form combat effectiveness, which directly meant that Qingdao, which had just been acquired, was like a piece of fat without any defense, placed here.Let the Japanese Navy come to taste.And at this moment, in the small fort, unlike the others, they were gathering together.Several German soldiers who were talking in a low voice appeared in Li Guosheng's eyes.

Li Guosheng from later generations.And Li Guosheng was a special soldier.When performing various military missions abroad, it is a very powerful army.is what he often encounters.And this kind of army is the mercenary that is often heard in later generations.

In order to ensure their own status, many local forces do not have their own powerful military forces.One method often used is to hire an army for money.And the current self, isn't he in this situation... >

Li Guosheng, who had already begun to attack the German instructors in front of him, had a strange smile flashing across his mouth, and asked Jiang Qiwei, who was still dignified in front of him, "Commander Jiang, what is the level of these German instructors in the coastal defense artillery regiment of the army?" How about it, have they ever shown you their true strength?"

Although I don't know why Li Guosheng asked this question, when he mentioned the dozens of German instructors in his coastal defense artillery regiment, Jiang Qiwei's face flashed a deep admiration at the first moment, and he said: .

"Army seat, these people are not so powerful, whether it is actual combat drills or calculation of bombardment coordinates, they are the most powerful people that I, Old Jiang, have seen in my life...>

"Um, so high...>

Looking at Jiang Qiwei who still didn't know why, Li Guosheng didn't have any worries, and directly expressed his thoughts: "Head Jiang, I will give you a hypothesis now...>

"Yes, of course there is... >

"Army, during the battle, we can completely let the German instructors act as gunners, and our officers and soldiers serve as assistants. In this case, I can guarantee that the hit rate of all naval guns will reach more than [-]%. As for calculating the specific position of the enemy warship, We can hand it over to these German instructors, and our people will assist...>

As soon as the excited voice fell, Jiang Qiwei immediately realized what was going on, and asked with a embarrassed face: "Military seat, I am worried that these German instructors will not agree to participate in this battle. After all, after this battle, if one is not good, it will be Many people will die. And the German officer in front of him, will he risk his life to help us fight the little devil?"

Li Guosheng didn't take Jiang Qiwei's worries to heart at all.It should be clear that the reason why these German instructors came to China was to come to their own troops.In addition to being appointed by the German army, there must be another very important factor, and that is the huge remuneration paid for himself.

Li Guosheng believes that there is the temptation of his own golden bars, coupled with the arrogance of these German troops who never admit defeat.If you hire these instructors to join the battle, you will surely succeed.

Thinking of this, Li Guosheng walked over to the positions of several German instructors with a confident smile.

"Mr. Major, hello. Here, I have a problem and need the help of your instructors. I don't know if the instructors can provide us with as much help as possible. Of course, this kind of help is absolutely paid." Speaking of here , Li Guosheng stopped immediately.However, a pair of eyes never left each other's eyes.

Seeing the other party hear the word reward, a pair of eyes obviously flashed a greedy look.Li Guosheng knew that his plan, without any accidents, had already succeeded, but now, what he needed to do was to bargain with the other party to see how much he would have to pay before letting the other party work for him.

Thinking of this, Li Guosheng whispered a few words directly to the guard behind him. (To be continued..)
