Republic of China: I am a great warlord, many children, many blessings

What impressed them most was that these two Japanese women were completely conquered by Shen Hao, and most importantly, they betrayed Japan.

Therefore, these Japanese women on Wanwan Island were carefully selected from all the families of Japanese soldiers on the island.

Every frown and smile of these Japanese women makes your heart flutter, they are all top-notch.

Among them, there are triplets, who are the most eye-catching.

Yu Qingfeng said awkwardly: "One of them was a Japanese woman. Because she was too beautiful, she was raped by several brothers in the mansion."

Chu Yunfei asked, "Are they the wife and daughter of Governor-General Akashi Motojiro?"

Yu Qingfeng shook his head and said, "No, she is the wife of Colonel Fukuda Masataro."

Damn, they are truly a mob.

Chu Yunfei and Ma Feng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they were not Akashi Motojiro’s women and daughters, at least there were still a few left.

Among these women, the wives and daughters of Colonel Masataro Fukuda and Motojiro Akashi were particularly stunning.

Among them, there were several concubines who were Wanwan women, and this guy also plundered them from all over Wanwan.

Losing one is acceptable.

In order to prevent this kind of accident from happening again, Chu Yunfei said: "Ma Feng, I'll leave this matter to you, and this kind of thing must not happen again.

At the same time, he ordered the entire army to recite the Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention, and anyone who dared to violate military discipline would be shot immediately.

If you kill innocent people indiscriminately, what's the difference between you and a bandit?

This time, since I didn’t give adequate notice, let it go.”

Ma Feng also understood Chu Yunfei's thoughts and nodded: "Yes"

Afterwards, Ma Feng issued an order to the entire army, and Yu Qingfeng read the disciplinary regulations that Shen Hao sent to the army.

For the first time, I was shocked by such strict discipline. Is there really such a unit? And does it have such discipline?

At the same time, eight battleships from the First Fleet and the Second Fleet of the Navy all approached the Wanwan Sea, commanded by Vice Admiral Kato Tomosaburo of the Japanese Navy.

Sure enough, as Yu Qingfeng expected, the Japanese army was preparing to land on the island from Keelung Port.

After all, the port built here has all the reefs cleared away.

The army can land on the island on a large scale, but it certainly cannot land on other places.

Kato Tomosaburo took a telescope and scanned Keelung Port, but did not find any defenders, which made him frown and look puzzled.

So he gave the order: "No one is guarding it, there must be a fraud, send a plane to investigate first."

"Hai"

Soon, the seaplane carrier received the order and two seaplanes started to take off.

Seaplane carriers are early aircraft carriers, most of which were converted from merchant ships or cargo ships.

They were very simple, so when real aircraft carriers appeared, they were called seaplane carriers. Another way of saying it is warships or civilian ships that carry seaplanes.

Japan's aircraft are all biplanes. Currently, all of Japan's assets are used to develop the navy. The army and air force are relatively weak, and it cannot even be considered to have an air force.

They are all attached to the Navy.

The aircraft required was a biplane imported from France.

409. I am the commander of the army

Japan currently does not have its own aircraft manufacturing plant.

Of course, during World War I, although all countries had airplanes, there was no concept of the air force as a branch of the military.

The term "air force" only came into being in Britain after World War I.

Even until World War II, Japan did not seem to have an independent air force.

Because the Choshu and Satsuma clans supported Emperor Meiji, overthrew the Tokugawa shogunate, and established a new government.

Therefore, many people from these two powerful vassals became high-ranking officials in the new government.

This kind of clan politics centered on two powerful feudal lords is called "feudal clan politics."

One controls the navy and the other controls the army.

The Choshu Domain is now known as Yamaguchi Prefecture in Japan.

Satsuma Domain, today known as Kagoshima Prefecture.

Even during World War II, when aviation technology was developing, the army and navy each developed their own set of aircraft.

The Army's is called the Army Aviation Corps, and the Navy's is called the Naval Aviation Corps.

Japan's navy and army were very powerful and conservative, and they kept a close watch on military resources.

As a general rule, the Air Force is separated from the Army Aviation.

However, whoever dares to ask the Japanese Army to separate the Air Force will be touching their own flesh and blood. If you ask them in the morning, there may be a group of young soldiers with samurai swords in the afternoon who will tear you into pieces, and no one will care about you.

During the Qingdao offensive against Germany, French Farmand fighters taking off from the seaplane carrier Wakamiya Marukami successfully completed battlefield reconnaissance against the German army, bombing of military facilities and ship attack missions.

It made great contributions to the Japanese army's victory over the German army. At the same time, the carrier-based aircraft played a huge role in this war and also strengthened Japan's confidence in vigorously developing naval aviation.

Japan began to develop military aviation in the late Meiji period, but due to the overall backwardness of its own industrial system, its development was severely unbalanced.

During World War I, Japan's aviation industry was extremely weak and heavily dependent on international technology transfer.

Even after World War I, most of Japan's military aircraft were purchased from Europe, the United States and other countries.

Of course, carrier-based aircraft are no exception.

On Wanwan Island, Chu Yunfei also saw the Japanese reconnaissance plane with a telescope.

Yu Qingfeng and others asked in confusion: "General Chu, do you want to shoot down this plane?"

Chu Yunfei shook his head and said, "Why fight him? It's a waste of bullets and completely meaningless. Just let him go back and report the news. We will wait for the Japanese army to land and fight a tough battle with them."

"It's the commander."

The reconnaissance plane circled twice in the air and flew back when it was almost out of fuel.

When the Japanese reconnaissance plane flew back, Vice Admiral Kato Tomosaburo immediately brought the pilot over.

Kato Tomosaburo asked, "Tell me in detail, how many people are deployed on Wanwan Island?"

“Hai, General Kato Tomosaburo, no defensive troops were found within thirty miles of the port, and within fifty miles or so, there were thousands of people building fortifications.

As for other troops, they have not been found yet."

Upon hearing this, Kato Tomosaburo was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the defense on Wanwan Island was building fortifications fifty miles away.

Totally unreasonable.

Why not fight in the port?

This kind of thing that went against common sense made Kato Tomosaburo frown.

Kato Tomosaburo originally thought that there would be a brutal war when he landed on the island, and his battleships' guns were all aimed at here.

Unexpectedly, the other party was not here at all.

They actually retreated fifty miles away.

This made Kato Tomosaburo very depressed, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood the reason.

The firing range of a naval gun is only about thirty miles. If the enemy retreats fifty miles, the naval gun will certainly become ineffective.

Once the ship's guns lose their effectiveness, their firepower will be compromised.

Then the bombing could not be effective, which made Kato Tomosaburo very annoyed. He had never thought of such a shameless method, which was completely illogical.

Is the coastline not defended?

Kato Tomosaburou had never encountered this kind of fighting method before, and couldn't understand it.

How could Kato Tomosaburo know the essence of guerrilla warfare?

In order to prevent fraud, Kato Tomosaburo said again: "Send three planes to conduct reconnaissance. This time, we must check carefully again and not miss any suspicious places."

Everyone felt a little unhappy with Kato Tomosaburo's caution.

This is simply underestimating them, and overestimating Wanwan, Yu Qingfeng and others.

In their view, they were just a group of lucky bandits, a mob, so why make such a fuss about them?

"General, why do you have to be so cautious? Just give the order to land on the island."

"That's right, General, you are just a bunch of beggars, why do you need to be so cautious?"

"We have 100,000 soldiers, well-equipped, powerful artillery support, and so many battleships. Why should we fear them?"

Kato Tomosaburo's face darkened and he said, "How could they be a group of unorganized bandits and beggars if they could defeat more than 6 Japanese troops stationed in Taiwan and kill Governor-General Akashi Motojiro?

He is definitely not a farmer who knows nothing.

I believe there must be something we don’t know about them, so we must be cautious.

There is a Chinese saying that goes, 'Know thy enemy and know thyself, and a hundred battles will be won without danger.'

We don’t know the enemy at all, and it would be dangerous to move forward rashly.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was completely disdainful of Kato Tomosaburo's words.

Even when facing the entire Beiyang government, Yuan Shikai and his men were disdainful of it, let alone the fact that they are now facing only a small Wanwan?

Lieutenant General Shibagoro, commander of the 12th Division and commander of the Tokyo Garrison, was dissatisfied and said, "Why bother? You can dock your warships and let our army go to the island..."

We will crush them with thundering force and let these damn ants know that the majesty of our Great Japanese Empire is inviolable.

First we should take Taiwan, then Guangdong and Guangxi. This is what we should do, instead of wasting time here."

As the commander-in-chief of the army, Shiba Goro has his own pride.

Others dared not speak.

After all, the army commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Shiba Goro, and the navy commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Kato Tomosaburo, were backed by the two feudal lords, the Choshu clan and the Satsuma clan.

Eighty percent of the government and the military are their people, and the others have no say at all.

The Choshu and Satsuma clans were not willing to submit to each other, which also led to the army and navy being unwilling to submit to each other.

Others are not qualified to participate in the game between top forces.

Kato Tomosaburo said calmly: "Lieutenant General Shibagoro, if you are not satisfied with my decision, you can order your troops to swim across the sea. This will show the strength and fighting spirit of your army."

Shiba Goro glared at Kato Tomosaburo unhappily and stopped talking.

The Army is swimming over there, why the hell don’t you let the Navy swim over there?

Weapons and equipment can still be used after swimming over.

Seeing that Shiba Goro was silent, Kato Tomosaburo ordered: "Immediately send three planes to continue reconnaissance."

"Yes, General Kato Tomosaburo"

About half an hour later, the three reconnaissance planes came back again.

They went around and saw the same situation as before 1.2.

Shiba Goro sneered and said unhappily: "Kato Tomosaburo, when did you become so timid? I doubt your ability to command the fleet this time."

Kato Tomosaburo ignored Shibagoro's sarcasm and ordered: "The warships will dock at the port and land on the island, and station ten miles away."

Chai Goro snorted disdainfully and said, "Your mission is only to transport the army, as for what happens after landing on the island.

You are not qualified yet. The Army is not as timid as the Navy."

"And I want to warn you, Vice Admiral Kato Tomosaburo, you are the commander of the naval fleet, not the commander-in-chief of our army. I hope you can put yourself in the right position.

After landing on the island, I, Shiba Goro, will be in charge of the army."

After saying that, Shiba Goro walked out of the command room.

Kato Tomosaburou's face was gloomy, but he had nothing to say.

When the Japanese warships docked at the port.

Chu Yunfei and others also learned the news.

Immediately send out scouts to investigate.

410. We will destroy them all here
