"It doesn't seem to be a change in the weather, it's... oh my god... that's a warship." When a tall mast appeared in the staff officer's binoculars, he finally knew why the black cloud was so strange.
Originally, the Japanese thought that the Teutons would not dare to fight, and their fleet had evacuated the Eastern Ocean long ago like the empty Jiaozhou Bay. Unexpectedly, at this time, they suddenly found that there were warships intercepting it.
The alarm bell rang on the Pommel Horse, and the Japanese sailors rushed to their battle positions, and everyone was in their positions within 2 minutes.At this moment, the others in Tsuchiya also became nervous. He comforted everyone by looking into the distance with a binoculars: "Don't panic, the Teutonics only have two armored cruisers in the Eastern Ocean, and they can't beat our battlecruisers."
As if responding to the words of others in Tsuchiya, the bodies of 'Scharnhorst' and 'Gneisenau' rose from the horizon soon, followed by the 'Sissi' of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, And the light cruiser 'Nuremberg'.
Seeing that there were only four warships on the other side, and none of them could compare with the 'Kurama', Tsuchiya heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was going to make a battle today.
Under the orders of Tsuchiya others, the 'Kurama' and 'Tsukuba' lined up, and they quickly accelerated to [-] knots, rushing towards the enemy on the opposite side.The four destroyers led by the cruiser Asama were separated from the main fleet by three nautical miles, effectively covering the left wing of the fleet.
Seeing the two warships of the Japanese army approaching aggressively, Lieutenant General Spey showed a rare smile, and he immediately ordered the 'Scharnhorst' and 'Gneisenauer' to turn and align their sides The Japanese navy.Relying on naval guns with a longer range, the two Teutonic armored cruisers started salvoing [-] meters away.
With the help of precise optical sights, the long-range shooting accuracy of the Teutonic Kingdom is several orders of magnitude higher than that of the Wa Kingdom.Twelve 210mm main guns with 5000 times the diameter, this kind of naval gun with the largest artillery elevation angle in the world at that time, has a maximum range of nearly [-] meters.At a distance of [-] meters, the attack capability of the main gun is extremely strong.
Although the Japanese artillery has a caliber of [-] mm, but because the double diameter is very low, the pitch angle is only [-] degrees, and it has just entered the maximum range at this time.Facing the intensive artillery fire from the Teutonic warships, the lead 'Pommel Horse' could only fight back with the only main gun on the bow. This kind of firing density can only give the sailors some psychological comfort, but in fact it has no destructive power. Word.
When the Teutonic battleship passed three rounds of artillery, the Japanese warship had already entered its effective range, and before Tsuchiya gave the order to turn around, the Japanese warship was hit first.With the more advanced optical sights on the ship, the Teutonic artillerymen had already found their sense after three rounds of salvo. When the fourth round of shelling began, the 'Tsukuba', which fell behind, was finally unlucky.
A 210mm artillery shell hit the tail of the 'Tsukuba', blowing a large hole in the rear deck.A violent explosion occurred in the hull, shrapnel jammed the steering gear, and the 'Tsukuba' was unable to turn.When this situation was handed over to others in Tsuchiya by radio, his cold sweat immediately flowed down.
The 'Tsukuba' could not turn. If the 'Kurama' wanted to avoid the opponent's fire coverage, it could only abandon its friendly ships and turn alone. But in that case, the 'Tsukuba' would have no chance of surviving.If the 'Pommel Horse' does not leave, the two ships will be bombarded indiscriminately by the opponent's T-head position.
At this time, the four destroyers led by the 'Asama' were fighting with the two cruisers of the opponent, and it was difficult to escape for a while. If they wanted to deal with the Teutonic battleship, they could only rely on themselves.Tsuchiya gritted his teeth and ordered the battleship to turn around. He finally decided to sacrifice the 'Tsukuba' so that he could seize the T-head position.
The two Teutonic warships didn't seem to see the 'Pommel Horse', and they attacked the 'Tsukuba' without avoiding it, vowing to sink it. The 'Tsukuba' was difficult to fight against the two Teutonic armored cruisers, and the ship was quickly shot in many places, with explosions one after another.
Seeing that the 'Tsukuba' is about to sink, and the 'Kurama' has also completed its turn, it seems that it will be the Teutonic battleship's turn to be unlucky in the next minute.At this moment, others in Tsuchiya suddenly had a bad premonition, as if they were about to face a catastrophe.
"Emden, where did the light cruiser Emden of the Teutonic country go?" Tsuchiya and others finally remembered that it seemed that the light cruiser mentioned in the intelligence had not been seen until now.
At this moment, the muffled sound of gunfire came from far to near, and huge water jets erupted around the two troop carriers "Nankai Maru" and "Enjiang Maru" hiding behind, and soon the "Emden" lightened. The petite figure of the cruiser was revealed, and behind it were two battlecruisers over [-] tons.
"What is that?" Tsuchiya and others waited for the two giant warships in disbelief, their eyes almost bleeding. "Derfflinger-class battlecruiser? That's impossible." Tsuchiya's military quality is excellent. He recognized the opponent's identity in a very short period of time, but these two warships are not storms. Any one of those three ships in the ocean.
Because the Teutonic Kingdom sent engineers and skilled workers secretly, and the unnoticed Guanghai City Shipyard spared no expense in building a fully enclosed dock, so the construction of these two giant ships has never been known.Not even the slightest news about the Saar country's military intelligence bureau, which claims to have super penetrating power and can detect all kinds of secrets.
At this time, these two battleships suddenly appeared, how could it not be surprising.Because of the use of up to six meters of optical range finder, as well as the latest variable range rate dial and EU indicator, the battlecruisers 'Hannover' and 'Württemberg' have the world's first-class firing command system.
During the second round of salvo, the officers and soldiers of the Teutonic navy found the target. With the intensive shelling, the two slow troop carriers were directly hit. The huge power of the explosive shells broke the two troop carriers into pieces. several knots.The Japanese army soldiers crowded in the cabin turned into pieces of meat before they knew what had happened, and none of the Japanese officers and soldiers of the two regiments survived.
Chapter 551 The Despicable Japanese Army
Seeing the opponent's huge artillery power, Tsuchiya's expression was disastrous, and he knew that he would not be able to escape this time.In order to warn the Japanese fleet, he immediately ordered to send a telegram, informing the other party of the information about the Derfflinger-class battlecruiser.
Two minutes after this telegram was sent, the large-caliber artillery shell finally fell on the deck of the 'Pommel Horse'. With a violent explosion, the Japanese battlecruiser quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.After destroying all the Japanese warships, Lieutenant General Spey licked his lips with unsatisfied desire.In order to wipe out the first southern detachment of the Wa Kingdom, he personally led the decoy fleet to attack.Unexpectedly, he overestimated the fighting power of the Japanese, and he could wipe out the opponent so easily.
"It's really a boring battle. It seems that we are going to catch up with the next naval battle." Lieutenant General Spey smiled, and he immediately ordered the fleet to reorganize, and sailed to the target sea area while replenishing ammunition.
Lieutenant General Kato Yusaburo, the commander of the First Fleet, was in a daze with a telegram. Since the last telegram was sent by the 'Kurama' three hours ago, there has been no sound, which made him smell a little danger. No. 12 picked up the telegram and read it, and Yusaburo Kato muttered to himself: "Is this Tsuchiya crazy? How could the most cutting-edge battlecruisers of the Teutonic people be sent to the Eastern Continent, and how did they avoid it?" Blocked by the Saar Kingdom Navy?"
Looking at this telegram, Kato Yusaburo did not believe that the Teutonic battlecruiser would appear here.He was more inclined to think that the others in Tsuchiya had gone crazy, and perhaps there were other special reasons why they fell silent after sending such a weird telegram.
"Your Excellency, General, Major General Takio Matsumura, commander of the Second Southern Expedition Detachment, has sent an urgent message from the Satsuma." The communication staff reported to Yusaburo Kato.
Kato Yusaburo felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, he waved his hands and said, "Read it."
"Yes." The communications staff read: "Extremely urgent, we found two battlecruisers from the Teutonic Kingdom, not less than [-] tons, and this ship is about to be destroyed."
"Hiss." Once the staff officer said the news, everyone in the bridge gasped.Kato Yusaburo knew in his heart that the two southward fleets had all been wiped out, and the ones facing the powerful Teutonic fleet now were probably the three fleets that fought against Huangdao.
"No, Kanji Kato." Yusaburo Kato stood up abruptly, and he ordered loudly, "Send a telegram to the military headquarters and ask Kanji Kato's special southern detachment to withdraw immediately, otherwise they will hardly be spared." However, Kato Yusaburo's awakening seems to be too late.The next morning, the Special Southern Fleet also sent a jade fragment message, and the entire Japanese navy fell into panic.
With such a powerful battleship, and such a fast speed, even the destroyer did not escape.Looking at the Japanese warships, it is estimated that only the battlecruiser King Kong and the Fuso-class battleship that has just been launched and is still undergoing sea trials can match.
Facing the powerful Teutonic navy, the Wa people panicked.At this time, the Far East Fleet of Saar Kingdom had just returned to its homeland. Apart from the Japanese Navy, there were only a few poor old cruisers of the Australian Navy in the western waters of the Eastern Ocean.Looking at the navies of the Allied Powers in the Eastern Ocean, it is simply difficult to fight against the Teutonic fleet.
The Japanese military had to order the three Fusang-class battleships that had just started sea trials to enter service immediately and join the Japanese navy's sequence. At the same time, they asked the three ships that were about to be completed to speed up their progress in order to fight against the Teutonic fleet.
In fact, the Japanese are scaring themselves, because the Teutonic fleet has returned to the Marshall Islands base for repairs and supplies after annihilating three task force fleets.After learning that the homeland fleet of the Teutonic Kingdom was blocked by Saar and the sea transportation was cut off during the homeland operations, Lieutenant General Spey believed that the homeland should be defended first.
The Hualan Navy once proposed a very tempting plan to break diplomatic relations in the Zhai Niyang, and was even willing to let the Lanfang Republic secretly provide them with a supply base.However, Lieutenant General Spey was eager to return home. He just sent two light cruisers and the "Sissi" of the Austro-Hungarian Navy to fight in the Zhaini Ocean, and he took the two battlecruisers and two armored cruisers on board. on the way to the Ocean of Storms.
It was not until the end of October that the Japanese navy learned of the real whereabouts of the Spey fleet, but during the previous period of fleet shrinkage, the Japanese army had already paid a heavy price.Because of the loss of supplies and fire assistance at sea, the Japanese army who attacked Huangdao suffered greater casualties.When the Japanese army invaded the urban area of Huangdao on November 11, they had already killed more than 16 officers and soldiers.
After 67 days of this battle, the Japanese army paid a huge price including dozens of warships, and finally occupied a corner of Qilu Province from Huangdao to Jinan.With the impassioned speeches of warlords from all over the country, Yuan Wei's pressure is increasing, and he is worried about the declining authority of the Northern Region government.
On the other hand, Zhao Shouhong issued a notice of combat against Japan a month ago, and then his submarine force took the initiative to attack. According to the data released by the "Global Times", it has sunk more than forty Japanese merchant ships. Protested for a long time.
The Japanese army attacked the northern garrison in Qilu Province without declaring war, and it was difficult for them to put the hat of undeclared war on the Hualan people.After the battle of Huangdao ended, the Japanese who had hated their teeth so much decided to take revenge.Soon, the Second Japanese Fleet, which was originally in charge of blocking Jiaozhou Bay, headed south under the leadership of Lieutenant General Kato Sadayoshi, preparing to bombard the Luchaogang Industrial Zone in Guanghai City.
The movement of the Japanese fleet was clearly displayed on the satellite map. Zhao Shouhong decided to position the satellite over the western and eastern oceans in order to gain insight into the opponent's actions during the battle against the Japanese. This time it finally came in handy.
Upon receiving the news that the Japanese fleet was going south, the garrison around Guanghai City suddenly became tense, and all the troops were ready for battle, and all the forts entered a state of first-level combat readiness.The battlecruiser Guanghai City, which has not yet completed sea trials, is already Hualan's largest warship.Although this warship is more advanced than all the warships of the Japanese country, it is difficult to do it alone.
Six Jiujiang-class cruisers, ten Huxing-class destroyers, ten 021-class large torpedo boats, and ten Seawolf-2 submarines.As well as the 'Feihong', the cruiser 'Yingrui', the destroyers 'Jingbo' and 'Longtuan' acquired from various sources, plus several minesweepers and minelayers, this is Guanghai City of the Shu Army All the strength of the fleet was gone.Relying on this number of warships, it is impossible to compete with the Japanese navy, and even if it can seriously injure the opponent, Zhao Shouhong will not do it.
Chapter 552 Borrowing Books to Admonish
Although these warships are not a pity, the people who can control the warships are the precious seeds of the Hualan Navy, because the navy training system has just been established, and it will take time to mature.If these naval officers and men are lost, the Hualan Navy will be seriously injured, and it will be difficult to do anything in a short time. This is not what he wants to see.
Facing the menacing Japanese fleet, Zhao Shouhong decided to lay mines around Guanghai City first to prevent the Japanese navy from approaching.The channel for all foreign goods in Zhongchuan and Gwanghae City was changed to Kyaukpyu Port, and Gwanghae City Port will be blocked until after the war against Japan.
In addition, all ocean-going warships set sail immediately, and Zhao Shouhong wanted to fight a classic ocean-breaking battle, just like how the Teutonic Kingdom dealt with the Saarians, completely blocking the lives of the Japanese.The battle in Guanghai City was commanded by Zhu Daizhen, while Cai Tinggan and Du Xigui were in charge of the sea battle. This combination made Zhao Shouhong very relieved.
In order to prompt Yuan Kui to fight against the Japanese, Zhao Shouhong went north with a high profile and went to Beihua City to persuade him in person.For Zhao Shouhong to come to Beihua City alone in danger, let alone the people of the Dashu Military Government, no one would have thought of it, even the Northern Territory Government.When the special train carrying Zhao Shouhong entered the Beiyu government-controlled area, the local garrison generals didn't know how to deal with it.
After learning the news that Zhao Shouhong had come to Beihua City from the north, Yuan Kai immediately ordered the troops stationed in various places to let him go, and at the same time closely protect his safety, so that nothing could go wrong.It was also a helpless move for Yuan Kai to do so. Now that the state of the country is in jeopardy, it is not the time to start a war with the Shu army.Once Zhao Shouhong is killed on the road, it is estimated that the rule of the Northern Territory government will come to an end. At least Yuan Kai believes that the furious Shu army cannot be stopped when the Northern Territory army is scattered across the provinces.
In addition, Zhao Shouhong and Yuan Wei are still allies on the surface, and Yuan Wei does not want to tear his face unless it is absolutely necessary.Now that the Japanese invaded the country, the people in the country were outraged, the Northern Territory government was criticized by all walks of life, and the newspapers scolded him for his inaction every day.Yuan Kui also wanted the Shu army to take the lead in order to ease the pressure of public opinion among the people.
What Yuan Kai didn't expect was that after Zhao Shouhong's high-profile northward trip, Cai Songpo, who was far away in Jiaozhi, also went northward, and then even Yan Xishan, a slicker, announced that he would come to Beihua City to negotiate matters against the Japanese.It's just that Yan Xishan's train was blocked in Fengxi Province because of a "landslide" and failed to reach Beihua City as he wished.
Winter has entered at the end of November, and the sudden drop in temperature in the north makes everyone reluctant to spend more time outdoors.At this time, in Yongdingmen Railway Station, many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in gorgeous furs were actually chatting on the platform, as if they were waiting for the appearance of a big man.
With the roar of the siren, these senior officials became excited. They raised their feet and stretched their heads, trying to look at the train from far to near.When the lightning-proof flat car was attached to the front of the car, and the train full of soldiers on both sides gradually approached, everyone rushed over immediately, knowing that the person they were waiting for had finally arrived.
As soon as the car door opened, well-equipped guards lined up on both sides, and a young man in a winter cotton military uniform without any military rank epaulettes stepped out of the car.He let out a breath of white air, and casually looked at the platform, but was surprised to find that there were many old acquaintances in the crowd.
"Master Xu, Lord Duan, Lord Feng, Mr. Yang, why are you here?" The young man stepped forward in surprise and saluted many senior officials.
Xu Haichang, who was in the lead, smiled and said: "Shou Hong doesn't need to be too polite, we are all our own people. This time you are tired from the journey, you should go to the official residence to rest first, and wait until tomorrow to see the president."
"Now that the state affairs are critical, we can't slack off a bit. I think it's better to get over now." Zhao Shouhong said in a low voice.
"This..." Several senior officials from the Northern Territory glanced at each other, and then Xu Haichang nodded and said, "Alright, let's go to the Presidential Palace now."
Accompanied by senior officials from the Northern Territory, Zhao Shouhong went directly to the presidential palace.Xu Haichang and others were arranged in the living room, while Zhao Shouhong was led into the study alone.
