Republic of China: Our great warlord has many children and many blessings

The new cabinet held a meeting.

The Prime Minister said:"What do you think of Shen Hao's troops in Qingdao?"

The Minister of the Navy said:"Support on the sea is definitely not possible.

Once warships are sent to support, they will definitely be sniped, and the warships of both sides will definitely collide in the East China Sea.

Once this fails, our navy will become a laughing stock.

All the wealth accumulated over the years will be wiped out."

As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded.

The Minister of Army said:"The army cannot support it. One moment and another, now because of Shen Hao's sudden rise, the Beiyang government Yuan Shikai has become hardened and ignores us.

We cannot burn through Northeast China to support Qingdao.

We are in the army. He is not Shen Hao's opponent.

I believe you have seen the fierce firepower of the opponent.

At present, there is a big gap in our equipment. To make up for these gaps, we can't do it without enough financial resources.

Because the purchase of super-dreadnought battleships from the United States , which has made our finances tense again.

Now, we don’t have the strength to start a war."

Everyone nodded.

It’s not a fight, it’s not a fight, it’s not a fight.

If we don't fight, won't Japan be looked down upon?

The Foreign Minister said:"We can find foreign aid. We, the Eagle Country, and France are all members of the Allied Powers. They should be allowed to exert pressure.""

"I'm also in favor of having the UK step up while getting the US super-dreadnought battleships up to speed.

I suggest that the construction of the Yamashiro super-dreadnought battleship should be suspended first, and that all efforts should be made to build the Fuso super-dreadnought battleship.

Our shame at sea must be washed away as soon as possible, otherwise the Japanese Empire will be nailed to the pillar of shame."

The Prime Minister nodded and said:"I agree with this proposal.

Suspend the construction of the Yamashiro super-dreadnought battleship and use it entirely for the construction of the Fuso. At the same time, contact Eagle Country, France, and the United States to ask them to come forward to put pressure."

"Hi!"

All members of the cabinet chose to pass it.

When the Foreign Minister learned of the order, he immediately contacted Eagle Country, France, and the United States.

How could the three countries not know Japan's thoughts?

The United States still stated that it is a neutral third party and will not favor anyone. On one side.

They are eager for Xiao Nippon and Shen Hao to fight.

This way their weapons can sell more.

What's more, it is best for both Xiao Nippon and Shen Hao to suffer losses.

It is good for the United States. Eagle Country is concerned about the rise of Shen Hao. , was still very vigilant and expressed its willingness to come forward.

France also expressed support and sent a minister to eastern Guangdong to negotiate with Shen Hao.

While Japan was actively contacting all parties.

On December 20, Zhou Weiguo and A-Gump suddenly took action against Qingdao.

One bombarded the Japanese army from the sea.

The other cut off the Japanese supply line.

Planes and warships bombed the Japanese positions indiscriminately.

The tactics of A Gan and Zhou Weiguo had no technical content, but covered a large area with firepower.

Use artillery fire to destroy the Japanese army..Before coming, Shen Hao said that there were enough ammunition tubes.

With Shen Hao's advice, Zhou Weiguo mobilized 80 150mm heavy howitzers.

The battleship was also equipped with 500 rounds of 12-inch naval gun shells (305mm), as well as various Secondary artillery.

At five o'clock in the morning, when the sky was dark, the attack was suddenly launched.

The artillery fire lasted for a day.

The Japanese garrison in Laoshan, Qingdao, was reduced by the bombardment.

The rumbling sound of artillery never stopped.

Because the German army blew up all the coastal defense batteries before surrendering, the Japanese army's defense was far behind. The

Japanese army also sent aircraft to conduct reconnaissance and guided the newly built shore artillery to fight back. The two sides launched a fierce artillery battle.

But the Japanese army's counterattack Compared with here, it is really not on the same level.

In just one day, Zhou Weiguo and A Gan fired 1,900 tons of artillery shells at the Japanese army.

The Japanese army had very limited forces and could not take the initiative to attack. They could only huddle in the Qingdao position. Waiting for the enemy to come to the door.

Faced with bombardment from all sides, coupled with continuous bombing from sky planes.

These ten planes were improved, and the shells were very powerful. They were directly discarded at the densest crowd of Japanese troops.

The Japanese army had never seen such Fighting.

It was all about paying for bombing. Faced with such fire coverage, Fushan, Gushan, and Sifangshan were abandoned.

Taking the first opportunity, Zhou Weiguo immediately ordered the engineers to start building forts. At the same time, he also sent troops to the Japanese warships. The bombardment began.

And the Japanese army's 6 destroyers and 4 cruisers were also sunk under the intensive artillery fire. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Forrest Gump lost three cruisers, and this cost was also Acceptable.

Just when A-Gump was about to report to Shen Hao.

Suddenly, a destroyer came to report

"A Japanese submarine was found 5 kilometers away."

Seeing this, A-Gump was very excited.

This destroyer was given to him by Shen Hao because it has radar.

It can detect submarines and warships within 9 kilometers.

Currently, in the world, all is the most advanced

"How many ships are there?"

"There is only one submarine. The goal of this submarine seems to be to escape."

A-Gump's eyes lit up. The current optimal attack range of submarine torpedoes is about 500 meters.

Otherwise, not only the attack range is not enough, but the accuracy is also not good.

But once the submarine gets close, Five hundred meters away, we encountered a natural enemy destroyer, which we couldn't even shoot away.

The entire Qingdao sea area was surrounded, and not even a small Japanese could escape. If you want to run away at this time, you must not be an ordinary person.

A-Gump said:"Since you are sitting on a submarine, Escape, there must be news.

Pretend not to know and let them get closer than a mile"

"Yes, Captain."

As time passed, the Japanese submarine finally got closer to about one nautical mile.

Inside the submarine, Lieutenant General Kamio Mitsuomi, the Japanese governor and commander of Qingdao, was sitting in the submarine. This time, he was going to ask for help.

Shen Hao not only Their communications were cut off and their supply lines were cut off.

Because of the sudden attack, Mitsuomi Kamio was not prepared.

Therefore, the food and water on the position were only about half a month old.

Jin Yunpeng, the governor of Shandong, also blocked all supplies.

Not only In this way, the entire interior of Qingdao was also blocked.

There were gunshots everywhere, which made his whole body tense.

In desperation, Kamio Mitsuomi could only take a submarine and escape to the Korean peninsula to ask for support.

Of course, Kamio Mitsuomi I also felt that something was not good, and I still knew how powerful Shen Hao was.

I had already prepared for the worst.

This time, not only was Kamio Mitsuomi sitting inside the submarine, but his wife and daughter were also escaping inside. When A-Gump was preparing to launch a torpedo against the Japanese submarine, the Japanese army organized 1,500 people to launch a counterattack at the Sifangshan position occupied by Zhou Weiguo. Although Sifangshan only had one battalion, it had a heavy machine gun company and twenty guns. Mortars, five 75mm guns.

The firepower of the Japanese army was incomparable. Facing the defense of dozens of Maxim heavy machine guns, the Japanese army failed to attack even an inch.

They were repulsed wave after wave, with more than half of the casualties.

They had no choice but to Can order a retreat.

The enemy (good Li Hao) has too terrifying firepower and no support, so he fights alone.

The entire Japanese army is filled with despair.

The Tuandao Fort, Taixi Town Fort, and Yamen built by Germany before near Qingdao Fort, Huiquanjiao Fort and Bismarck Mountain (today's Qingdao Mountain) Fort; and those used for land defense include Bismarck Mountain North Fort, Iltis Mountain (today's Taiping Mountain) North Fort, Iltis Mountain East Fort and Zhongjia After the Wa fort was destroyed before, the Japanese army did not repair it at all.

In the hearts of the Japanese army, no one in the entire Daxia country dared to do anything to them.

Therefore, they did not choose to rebuild these forts at all.

They only built 12 temporary forts. The most defense was The infantry fortifications left by the Germans before.

Because the attack was too sudden, the Japanese army did not have time to deploy torpedoes on the sea surface of Jiaozhou Bend.

It even caught the Japanese army by surprise.

When the submarine approached about 800 meters, it was not discovered yet. , Kamio Mitsuomi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He ordered to dive as deep as possible and must not be discovered.

Unfortunately, not long after the order was given, dozens of torpedoes came straight towards him.
