Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Li Guosheng, the commander of the army, and Major Jim, the head of the German instructor corps, just walked into the headquarters of the coastal defense artillery regiment.The guard who was ordered to go out was already standing in front of the two of them with a box in his arms.

"Army seat, here we come, a total of 55 small yellow croakers...>

"Well, the gold bars are here, you go out first. Without my order, no one is allowed to approach the command center...>

Looking at the front, I have asked myself several times along the way, what is the problem with Major Jim who needs help.Without hesitation, Li Guosheng opened the box on the table and pushed it down in front of the other party...

"Gold bars, oh my god, it's gold bars, and there are so many of them...>

Seeing that the other party has taken the bait, he was completely seduced by the gold bars in front of him, almost to the point of being unable to extricate himself.The confident smile on Li Guosheng's face became even stronger. He quickly closed the lid of the box and pulled the box back.When Major Jim put his greedy eyes on Li Guosheng again, Li Guosheng said: "Mr. Major, the difficulty I mentioned is very simple: I hope you can lead your instructor team to assist our coast defense artillery team to fight a battle." A real battle...>

"Of course, if you agree to participate in this battle, these gold bars, except five belong to you, and the remaining fifty will be given to one of your subordinates as revenge for helping us. In addition, except In addition to these basic rewards, during the battle, as long as you can sink an incoming enemy ship, I will give each of you a gold bar as a reward. For sinking two ships, two gold bars will be rewarded. If someone accidentally dies on the battlefield, I will directly take out ten gold bars as the warrior's pension to ensure that his family will be safe..."

"Temptation", the price offered by Li Guosheng is for ordinary soldiers who have experienced the German economic depression after World War I.It is definitely a very huge and deadly temptation...

Agree to fight, a gold bar.Sinking a warship of the opponent is another gold bar.Not much to say, the gold bars in front of me.As long as there are two, it can be worth the military salary for several years.More importantly, if you die on the battlefield, you will receive ten gold bars as a pension... >

What kind of concept is ten gold bars in this era?To put it bluntly, it is definitely enough for a family to live a lifetime without any worries...>

As soon as Li Guosheng's voice fell, the greedy Major Jim almost subconsciously wanted to agree to this matter.but.The last bit of reason is to let him calm down at critical moments.After I was embarrassed to withdraw my greedy gaze from the box.Shen Sheng asked.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I don't know the enemy of your army is... this battle. How many ships will the enemy dispatch. Be clear, your coastal defense artillery regiment has less than [-] artillery pieces in total. If the enemy comes with too many warships , no matter how powerful we are, we will not be ordered to earn these gold bars from your hands... >

Although greedy, he did not lose his mind.Li Guosheng directly cast an appreciative look at Major Jim in front of him.Without the slightest concealment, he quickly told the crisis that Qingdao was about to face without any concealment.Then, with a firm face, he opened his mouth and said.

"Mr. Major, I can tell you with certainty that the one who will attack our Qingdao naval port is the Japanese navy across the sea from us. As for the number of ships that the Japanese navy may deploy, here, I can assure you that it will never exceed Five, and they will not dispatch battleships and other large sea ships with super-caliber naval guns... >

"Less than five warships, and no battleships yet...>

One minute later, the confident Major Jim did not hesitate at all under the circumstances of absolute certainty.Under Li Guosheng's gaze, he readily took the gold bars on the table for himself.Then, take out five sticks from the middle and put them in your underclothes pocket.He replied proudly: "Your Excellency, Commander, I agree with your request to help your subordinates fight this battle...>

"Thank you Mister Major...>

Without radar, the only three new gunboats in their hands were wiped out in order to avoid encountering the Japanese navy, and they were also stopped at a hidden harbor by an order from Li Guosheng.Regarding the Japanese navy that may attack at any time on the sea, although Li Guosheng wanted to get the opponent's information as soon as possible.However, due to the limitations of various factors, there is no way.

Fifty German instructors had just participated in the training for less than two days, and the three ships dispatched by the Japanese Navy had already crossed the vast sea and appeared on the sea less than [-] kilometers away from Qingdao.However, in order to give Qingdao defenders and Li Guosheng a certain degree of military deterrence, the three ships did not go blindly, but waited for the night to fall.

The light cruiser Tianlong, as the flagship of the three ships, Captain Yin Teng Zhongzuo, without any accident, served as the supreme commander of this operation.Under the order of Lieutenant Zuo Yin Teng, Major Yokoyama, captain of the destroyer Qiufeng, and Major Fukuda, captain of the destroyer Yukaze, all gathered on the cruiser Tenryu.

"Your Excellency, Commander, Qingdao Naval Port is very close to us, and we can arrive at the battlefield within two hours at most. Then, we can use the naval guns on the warship to severely hit the Chinese army. I don't know why you Suddenly ordering us to stop...>

"Your Excellency, Commander, I don't know too well. I hope that Your Excellency the Lieutenant Sergeant can give us a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, I will immediately report to the military department... >

Seeing the two rebellious subordinates.Lieutenant Zuo Yin Teng knew that unless he came up with a reason that could really convince them.Otherwise, in the battle that they may face next, these two subordinates will definitely not listen to their 'hello' very much.

Thinking of this, Zhongzuo Yin Teng said: "Mr. Hengshan, Mr. Futian...>

"We are going directly to Qingdao now, which can indeed play a role in retaliation. However, in terms of force and deterrence, it is far from achieving the goal we and the entire military department want. I mean, after dark, we are at night. Under the cover of "color", it suddenly appeared in the coastal waters less than a few kilometers away from the Qingdao military port. After dawn, the Chinese soldiers and civilians can see our fleet descending from the sky very intuitively... >

"The fleet suddenly appeared in front of the cowardly Chinese...>

The equally rebellious Shao Zuo Hengshan, after listening to Zhongzuo Yin Teng's explanation, also had to admit: the deployment of Zhongzuo Yin Teng can not only achieve the purpose of military revenge, but also can deter the Chinese military and civilians to the greatest extent, and let the Chinese military and civilians Understand the invincible force of the Imperial Japanese Navy...>

While admiring the other party's wit and scheming, he directly put down his rebellious airs just now, and replied: "The commander-in-chief is wise..."

The three finished products are distributed in a "product" shape, with the cruiser in front and the two destroyers behind.Using the cover of the night, he slowly drove towards the Qingdao military port, which was completely shrouded in darkness at this moment.

Three hours later, the three ships lined up and appeared in the sea less than five kilometers away from the military port.The Ninth Army defenders stationed in Qingdao City, including Li Guosheng.He didn't even know that the enemy he was about to face had already slipped to his side silently, ready to deal him a fatal blow at any time.

At five o'clock in the morning, the sky was just getting bright, when the big Qingdao military port loomed in front of Zhongzuo Yin Teng.The supreme commanders of the three ships gathered together again.

"Commander, it's almost time...>

"Are all naval guns ready...>

"Romper...>

"Yo Xi, if this is the case, then we will use shells to tell the Chinese soldiers and civilians in Qingdao that our Imperial Japanese Navy fleet is coming...>

"Boom boom boom... >

"Wooooow...>

Although the whole city of Qingdao is still gray, it is only five o'clock in the morning.However, Li Guosheng, who has long been used to getting up early, has already been exercising in the yard where he lives.

The sharp piercing whistling sound produced by the shells passing through the sky had just reached Li Guosheng's ears.A bad premonition surfaced in Li Guosheng's mind.Because he knows that at this time, his coastal defense artillery unit.Definitely haven't started live-fire training yet.Since it wasn't the coastal defense artillery regiment conducting live ammunition drills that could produce such a huge howling sound, Li Guosheng didn't need to think about it, only the large-caliber naval guns equipped by the Japanese navy that was about to invade Qingdao were left.

Sure enough, as soon as this idea appeared in Li Guosheng's mind, several earth-shaking explosions spread quickly from Qingdao Military Port, which was one kilometer away.look around.Several groups of fireballs and black smoke with a height of tens of meters rose directly from the military port and appeared in Li Guosheng's eyes.

"Damn it, it really is a little devil's warship. It came really fast... >

Hastily walked into the headquarters of the Coastal Defense Artillery Regiment.The big Qingdao military port, after being bombarded by three rounds of Japanese naval guns, has become billowing with smoke.While being shocked by the power of the naval guns, Li Guosheng couldn't help feeling rejoicing.

turn out to be.In order to prevent the Qingdao military port from being attacked by the Japanese navy, and to ensure that its own naval forces are still in the bud.As early as a few days ago.Li Guosheng ordered all naval forces to be transferred.This moment.The promising Qingdao military port has already become an empty airport.

Seeing the busy people in the headquarters, Li Guosheng walked up to Jiang Qiwei and asked, "Commander Jiang, how is the situation? Have you found any Japanese ships...>

"Army seat, we have found...According to the number of shells, the Japanese army has dispatched three warships with a maximum caliber of 150mm. Now these three warships are docking at a distance of 300 meters from the military port. All coastal defense artillery regiments The artillery is ready, please give the command to fire...>

"It's so close, it seems that the Japanese army doesn't know that we have formed a coastal defense artillery regiment...>

"Your Excellency, the three warships of the Japanese Navy are very close. However, even so, it is impossible to sink them all at once. After all, the warships are all equipped with thick armor. Unless the shell directly hits the opponent's ammunition magazine, it is already very lucky to be able to injure it...>

"Since this is the case, let's fire. If we hit these three warships earlier, our losses will be less... >

"Yes, the military seat..."

"Fire...>

Suddenly, the fort, which was still a quiet place just now, immediately remembered a series of deafening roars.

Nineteen large-caliber naval guns, with a total of nineteen shells, flew out of the long barrels and flew into the sky with a sharp whistling sound.

In order to see the shelling effect for the first time, and also to feel the real training level of the coastal defense artillery regiment.Although the sky was not completely bright, Li Guosheng, the army commander, rushed to the lookout at the first time, picked up the binoculars, and looked at the still calm sea.

The flight distance of up to five kilometers does not take too much time for shells with a firing rate of more than 800 meters.

Less than five seconds after raising the binoculars, the sharp whizzing sound of piercing the sky was covered by a series of looming shell explosions.

When the shell falls into the water, it can explode a huge column of water tens of meters high.However, if it happens to land on the deck of a Japanese naval warship and explode, then a huge fireball tens of meters high, coupled with thick black smoke, will directly rise into the air...>

"Hit it, hit it... >

Squat down and look in the direction of the artillery staff officer's finger.Four huge fireballs appeared directly in his own telescope.

"Nineteen shells, four hits, the kid is very good...>

"Yes, Major Jim...>

Immediately, there was one roar after another, and the roar of shells piercing through the air began to reach Li Guosheng's ears one after another.A round of large-caliber naval gun shells, like rain, quickly poured into the sea area where the three warships of the Japanese Navy were located under the "manipulation" of the German instructors...>
