Chapter 38 The Boiling Bund

PS: It's a little late.

Military academies also originated from the West, but foreigners were determined to do so. In the era of military academies, everyone was still queuing up to shoot them. Most domestic soldiers were trained by reading the military books left by their ancestors and actual combat. It is hard to say which one is better or worse.

Generals born in the military academy like to face the front with upright troops in order to defeat the enemy's main force and win the war through decisive battles. The generals who have learned themselves like to use various conspiracies and tricks to deceive the enemy, and take the enemy step by step into the traps they have dug, eating the enemy bite by bit.

Seeing that the puppet army was preparing to attack without artillery support, Jin Batian asked: "Have you used the anti-aircraft guns here?"

Shi Zhengang replied: "I used it. The day before yesterday, the Japanese sent two planes to reconnaissance. We drove the Japanese planes away with three anti-aircraft guns. We also injured one of them."

"I'll try my hand after holding a door."

Liu Heiqin's seventh unit launched a company-level attack as before. Under the bayonet of the supervision team, the bandits advanced by shelling under the bayonet. After fighting for a few days, the puppet army also learned the skills and no longer used dense formations to advance. The power of the Sixty-year-old mortar is limited, and now one shell hits the battle results of one or two people. Jin Batian also knew that the power of the 400mm naval gun can kill a football field with a high-explosive shell, but this mountainous area cannot move large-caliber artillery, so the cannons selected by Jin Batian are both maneuverable and firepower, and the largest caliber 105 howitzers can also be driven by mules and horses.

Shi Zhengang gave the order, and soon the anti-aircraft gun led a ball over. The twenty-mm machine gun weighed one pound at a time. The gunner helped load two fifty-round bullet boxes.

Commander Jin Batian said: "Just pretend to be one."

After loading the shells, Jin Batian adjusted the angle with his own hands, aimed at a puppet army holding a box cannon with a gunshot. He gently pulled the trigger and said "thump" three times, the puppet army holding a box cannon on the opposite side turned into a ball of blood mist. Battalion Commander Shi Zhengang shouted: "Good marksmanship, this person has been broken."

"It's really easy to fight infantry. Take out two more doors and let the artillery use single cannons to fight the Japanese with their hands." Jin Batian said in his heart that the puppet army also had experience. The 20-mm caliber machine cannon had already ignored the wind at a position of four or five hundred meters. Jin Batian moved the muzzle slightly and exploded the Japanese who had a grenade launcher behind.

With Jin Batian's instructions, three machine guns were added to the point-fire range. Direct guns and curved guns were different. Direct guns could definitely hit as long as they aimed. The puppet army and the Japanese who were following the war were beaten up for a while, but the mortar guns could not be raised. Even Liu Heiqi felt that the opponent's guns were getting more and more accurate. As the commander of the third army of the puppet Manchukuo Army, Liu Heiqi could only treat them as treasures as nine-grenade grenade tubes.

In the end, the attack ended in vain. The Japanese behind fired several smoke bombs on the battlefield with grenade launchers to withdraw the troops.

At the command post of the camp, Jin Batian looked at the sand table for a while, focusing mainly on the 32nd Army in Lengkou and the 61st Army in Chicheng. Shi Zhengang saw it clearly and smiled and said, "The director is not a Shanxi man." These two troops were from the same sect, one was the direct descendant of Yan Laoxi, and the other was pulled out by Shang Zhen after he left Shanxi.

Jin Batian shook his head: "I really believe it. The nearby Northeast Army has our 29th Army or the Central Army to respond. This cold mouth is closer to our 29th Army. Do you think that Shang Zhen can't stand it anymore and call us for support. Will our 29th Army go?"

Shi Zhengang's dogmatic answer: "We must have to go after the Ministry of Military Affairs."

Sure enough, friendly troops remained as if they were in trouble. Shang Zhen was still a pro-central force like the 29th Army. The 61st Army was Yan Laoxi's direct relationship even further. Moreover, the 61st Army only had the first division and second brigade, and is now the weakest of the armies on the Great Wall's defense line.

If the Japanese convened several divisions to attack a little fiercely, even troops like the Central Army or the 29th Army might not be able to hold on. Don’t mention the 32nd Army and the 61st Army. Jin Batian did not have many ways to deal with this matter. Although Jin Batian had some impact on the 29th Army in military affairs, it would not affect the entire situation of the war and the military and political departments of Peking at all. At worst, it would be closed and beat the dogs.

The volume of arms trading with the Ministry of Military Affairs of Peking has been rising steadily these days. Not only are the three divisions of the 17th Army ready, but even the 71st Army, the First Army and the Teaching Corps have completed the expansion and dress-up. The trading dividends have been rising steadily. Jin Batian was happy and gave 10 million machine rifles to the Ministry of Military Affairs of Peking.

At the end of March, Jin Batian's fleet has been delivered to Qingdao's navy, and now we will collect the money after the navy is accepted.

After the navy boarded the ship, they entered the positions according to their assigned positions. Each position had three people working and two people who were observing and learning. Fortunately, many naval officers learned this from the John Niu family, but submarines and aircraft carriers were in trouble. No one had played this before. Fortunately, Zhongtian and the Hans family were allies at this time. The Hans family sent a large number of staff advisers and military observers to China. They found several talents who could drive submarines and aircraft carriers from the naval staff team sent by the Hans family to teach the Chinese people how to play the navy.

While the aircraft carrier and submarine were still learning to walk in Qingdao, the battleship Zhongshan drove to Shanghai at full speed under the escort of two destroyers and two 10,000-ton cruisers.

Over the past few days, the Japanese Marines in Shanghai have been showing off their power and provoking trouble on the beach, thinking of causing something to open up a second battlefield and responding to the situation in the north. Although the Marines were beaten by the 19th Army and the Tax Police Corps last year, for young soldiers, how can they be promoted without fighting? In the face of the Japanese provocation activities, the principal was so angry that he was itchy, but in order to wait for the navy's battleships to be in place, he could only endure it.

Such a large battleship cannot be hidden, and as a country's important weapon, it has the obligation to appear in the eyes of the people.

On March 31, the battleship Zhongshan finally arrived at the sea outside Shanghai after two days of navigation tests. The nearby small boats felt that the huge battleship was pressing towards the mountain.

It was not until someone saw clearly the blue sky and white sun flag on the warship that he cheered, and then the entire sea and the Bund became a sea of ​​joy.

The flagship Izumo heavy cruiser, the flagship of the Shanghai Fleet, opened the cannon suit immediately. The Zhongshan battleship turned on the eight main guns and aimed at the Izumo and untied the cannon suit.

Fortunately, the commander of the Izumo, the commander of the Third Fleet, Mitsumi, was quite calm at home. He knew that he would be dead as soon as he fired the gun, and the fleet might not survive. Moreover, the Izumo's naval gun was just to scratch the other side, so it was possible to deal with the heavy cruiser there. Mitsumasa Minai did not issue an order to fire the gun, but there was always such a little war madman. The fearless Tianlong protective cruiser captain ordered the attack at full speed and fired a torpedo.

In the view of the captain of the Tenno cruiser, besides the Nagato battleship and its sister ship Muro, only torpedoes can deal with the battleship. If the Third Fleet can replace this battleship, it will be worth it even if it is fought all.

When Chen Shaokuan saw that this was amazing, he immediately ordered the main gun to fire a salvo to bombard the Izumo and then avoid the torpedo. The distance of a little more than a nautical mile is a straight aiming distance for the 406mm shell, and it can hit it without any technology. This distance is too long for the torpedo at this time.

The sea surface shook, and the battleship Zhongshan was pushed out several meters by the recoil of the volley. Eight sixteen-inch main guns fired at the same time, and the effect was amazing. One of the three shots on the Izumo waterline hit the bridge and destroyed the Izumo command center. Two more rounds were hit under the waterline and nearly lost bullets torn apart under the water. The Izumo hull was torn into five sections by terrifying force. It took only a few dozen seconds to sink all into the sea.

The two heavy cruisers following the Zhongshan ship also opened fire. The two heavy cruisers had a total of 16 204mm naval guns that had a total of 5,000-ton protective cruisers were still very powerful. Moreover, the caliber of the ship gun was small and the loading was fast. It took one minute to load the main gun of the Zhongshan, which was at least enough to load the 204mm naval gun two to three times.

The Tenno was the first to be hit, and first sank into the sea amid the cheers of the people on the Bund. Then the unlucky one was that the Hirodo Fushimi was shot one after another, and the Fushimi entered the deck of the Horizontal Guest and ignited a fire.

The Zhongshan battleship completed its evasion at this time and was preparing for the second firing. The first and second main turrets targeted the Nengdenglu seaplane aircraft carrier because the aircraft above was already ready to take off. Four 406mm high-explosion three shells hit the Nengdenglu seaplane aircraft carrier. One of the high-explosion bombs detonated the Nengdenglu oil depot, and a second explosion occurred in the Nengdenglu seaplane ignited the Nengdenglu oil depot.

The sinking of the Nengdenglu was the first time since the aircraft carrier was in service that was sunk by a gunboat. Although this aircraft carrier can only carry eight seaplanes, the tonnage is only a pitiful 4,000 tons.

At this time, Nanjing also received news. Principal Jiang thought that he had started fighting anyway. He asked Lieutenant General George Ferzer, the consultant of the Hans family. After receiving a positive answer from the straightforward Hans family, Principal Jiang polished the order of declaration of war that had been suppressed for several months and gave it to the servant room.

On March 31, the Zhongtian family officially declared war on Japan because of a squat chicken's external fleet attacking the Zhongtian Navy flagship Zhongshan.

Anyway, the principal has also taken it aside. You can't block the arms sent from Nanyang. Since the Japanese want to fight, then fight. Now I have all the planes, cannons, warships and tanks, and they are all better than the Japanese. I'm afraid you are a bird. The 71st Army was ordered to go to Shanghai and cooperate with the Tax Police Corps to attack the Basin Chicken Concession. The 19th Army was transferred from Fujian to Nanjing for dressing and reorganization.

The Battle of Huangputan ended with the destruction of all the external fleets. None of the twenty warships in the external fleet were spared and were all sunk. What touched the Zhongtian family's military and civilians the most was that in accordance with humanitarianism, when all ships rescued the Japanese naval officers and soldiers at sea after the war, none of the Japanese naval officers and soldiers received the rescue of the Japanese naval officers and soldiers, but chose to hold the stone and sank into the sea, showing the soldiers and civilians the Zhongtian family what the spirit of Bushido is.
