The next morning, Zhang Xueliang convened a meeting of all military and political officials, and publicly announced Yang Yuting's treason and Machino Kazuki's identity as a spy.At the meeting, he also announced three other major events. The first was the lavish burial of Jiang Dengxuan. The second was the announcement of a change of flag for the country's national plan, and all joined the Western Special Zone. The third major event was the announcement of Zhang Zuolin's death. He also announced that he would avenge Zhang Zuolin, and the whole army carried all the heavy equipment to attack Lushun Port where the Japanese army was stationed.

Hearing that Zhang Zuolin was actually killed by the Japanese, the generals of the Feng army were excited, and soldiers from all ministries called for battle one after another, demanding to be the vanguard of the attack on Lushun Port.In the end, Wang Yizhe, who arrived in a hurry, finally grabbed the important task of starting.

After carrying sufficient ammunition and supplies, Wang Yizhe led the Fengjun No. 60 Seventh Army to Lushun first, clearing obstacles for the army to attack, and conducting preliminary investigation work.The Japanese army originally thought that Zhang Zuolin, the old fox, was dead. Coupled with the persistence of Yang Yuting and others, Feng Jun would finally embark on the road of cooperating with the Japanese army to fight against the West Army, so he only stationed one division in Lushun, which he thought was safe. Regiment, used as a defensive force.

At this time when the Japanese army was stretched, being able to station [-] soldiers in this "absolutely safe" place was already a special emphasis on Lushun.However, the situation took a turn for the worse, and the situation in Fengtian, which was a good situation a few days ago, was completely reversed.Machino Kazui, a Japanese spy, was killed, Yang Yuting, who had bribed him, was shot, Shi Yousan and others were dismissed, and other officials of the pro-Japanese faction were suppressed to varying degrees.

Zhang Xueliang even publicly announced his commitment to the Western Special Zone, and the Feng Faction assembled a large army to attack Lushun and avenge Zhang Zuolin.Such bad news came one after another, causing the Japanese military to panic.After losing the navy, the Wa country could only defend passively, and could not send troops to reinforce Lushun at all.This important military port in the north of the Eastern Continent is no longer possible to be kept by the Japanese army.

Bai Chuanyi knew very well in his heart that if this continues, the defeat of the Japanese army is only a matter of time.Now that the Feng army can no longer count on it, the Japanese army can only rely on itself, and he must use domestic forces to turn the tide of the war.This is a desperate attack. If the victory is won, the Wa Kingdom will have a chance to breathe, and if it is defeated, it will be lost forever. For this reason, Bai Chuanyi ordered the army to secretly transport the three main divisions, including the only guard division in the country, to Shikoku Island at night. , ready to implement the plan.

Just when the Japanese army was about to give it a go, Jiang Ruiyuan in Fuzhou City had reached the last moment.After Song Qingyun personally published a statement in the newspaper that after the reorganization of the left wing of the National Congress Party in the Western Special Zone, the right wing of the National Congress Party headed by Jiang Ruiyuan has declined.Especially after Jiang Ruiyuan's identity as a Chinese traitor was condemned by the whole country, the reputation of the national government began to be notorious.

The reputation is not the most fatal, the key is that the traitor's identity is too mentally stressful, which makes a large number of deserters appear in the national army.At the beginning, only one or two sentries fled while on duty at night. In order to avoid this situation, the army set up double guards to let them monitor each other.Unexpectedly, it turned into two gangs fleeing together, and the size of the deserters became larger and larger. From a few people at the beginning, it quickly turned into a whole row of fleeing companies.

This situation became more obvious after the West Special Army stepped up its offensive and forced the National Army to the surrounding area of ​​Fuzhou City.The West Special Army launched a propaganda offensive against this situation. The electric speakers announced various policies of the West Special Army in front of the position all day and all night, publicizing the fate of the Chinese traitor who worked for Jiang Ruiyuan, and publicizing all the places that had just been controlled by the Western Special Zone. Started land reform and improved living conditions.

Under such a propaganda offensive, the deserters became larger and larger. Just the night before, a division commander led the entire division to flee to the West Special Army and surrender.Such a situation gave Jiang Ruiyuan a head-on blow. If this continues, even if the West Special Army does not go to war, the collapse of the National Army is only a matter of time.

Having been cornered, Jiang Ruiyuan showed his rogue nature, and he immediately ordered He Yingqin to lead the whole army to attack and attack the encirclement encircled by the West Special Army.Jiang Ruiyuan knew that if he stuck to it, the final outcome would be rebellion, and he might even be arrested by his former cronies to ask for credit from the West Special Army as a qualification for promotion.

Jiang Ruiyuan didn't want such a situation to happen. He had only one choice. Before everyone rebelled, he opened a gap first and jumped to the outside to fight.As long as he can fight in Kuaiji, where the National Congress Party has the best mass base, and in the eastern Guangdong provinces, he can still win the support of the people.In his opinion, as long as he can support him for a few more months, reinforcements from the Saar Empire and the Gaul Kingdom will continue to pour into the Hualan battlefield, and he will be saved.

Not knowing that he had been abandoned by many great powers, Jiang Ruiyuan devoted himself to self-help work with confidence.The remaining three divisions of the National Army, with a total of more than 7000 people, were reorganized. Under the command of He Yingqin, the whole army launched an attack on the West Special Army that was guarding Gushan in the east.

He Yingqin was very clear-headed. The places with the best mass base of the national army were in the south, so the defenses in the south and west would be very tight, and with the Minjiang River blocking them, it would be difficult to break through the opponent's defense line.Both Minhou in the west and Nanxi in the north have heavily stockpiled troops, where the terrain is complex and it is difficult to launch an attack, and it is easy to be attacked by the enemy.

Only the east side faces the sea, and it is the road with the most lax defenses.In addition, there is Gushan as a barrier. Once the opponent's position is captured, the national army can either stick to Gushan or send a small group of troops to delay the opponent on Gushan, and the large army will turn to advance north.

Because of these comprehensive considerations, the national army launched a fierce attack on Gushan as soon as it came up.The National Army launched the attack at night. They planned to catch the West Army by surprise and rushed out of the encirclement.Unexpectedly, the West Army has a complete set of effective combat modes, and there are detailed regulations for nighttime offensive and defensive battles. As a result, the National Army who sneaked up was still hundreds of meters away from the position, and someone set foot on the West Army Laid mines.

Anti-infantry jumping mines cannot be avoided by lying on the ground, or lying on the ground to deal with the explosion of such mines has a greater chance of injury.A soldier of the national army triggered the anti-infantry mine jumping fuse, and jumped into the landmine that exploded in the air, killing or maiming more than a dozen people around him. The scene was very bloody.

Hearing that the landmine was triggered, the soldiers of the West Army who were sleeping in the anti-battery holes on the front line immediately entered the trenches and prepared for battle with the original few sentries.Knowing that the other party had noticed, the national army launched a charge across the board. However, before they had run twenty steps, flares from behind the West Special Army's position shot into the sky, turning the entire forward position into daylight.

The first thousand and ninety-five chapters of the Japanese country's secret move

Under the strong light, the charging national army had nowhere to hide, and was immediately fired by a large number of Type [-] general-purpose machine guns on the position.The gunshots like tearing cotton cloth have been the biggest nightmare of the National Army in recent months. Whenever this sound sounds, it indicates that a large number of comrades will lose their lives.

Dense bullets blocked the forward position, and the national army that had rushed to the position at a distance of 400 meters fell in pieces.In this age when machine guns were already very mature, hand-to-hand combat in cluster charge was meaningless, but the National Army, adhering to the tactics of civil war, still went forward and chose to charge.

It is not that the national army is unaware of the danger of doing so, but weapons and ammunition are not available, and all they can rely on is flesh and blood and the bayonet in their hands.Jiang Ruiyuan personally led the supervising team and drove the national army forward. These passionate young people who used to fight for the country have now been completely reduced to victims of personal ambition.But they had no choice. If they charged forward, they might still have a chance, but if they retreated, they would be shot as deserters.

More than 7000 soldiers seem to be a large number, but there is no chance on the frontal battlefield densely covered with hundreds of machine guns. He Yingqin looks distressed at the death and injury of his most elite troops, and tens of thousands of people charge. One came back alive.

When all the troops under his control fell in a pool of blood in front of the position, He Yingqin sighed. Although he resolutely carried out Jiang Ruiyuan's order, he knew that he could not win.Now that his brothers who started by themselves were killed, the only thing he could do was to go with them.Seeing the blood in front of him, He Yingqin slowly took out his pistol. With the clear sound of gunshots, a big figure who should have left his name in Hualan history fell, but Jiang Ruiyuan fled with a few cronies in makeup. Finally nowhere to go.

Jiang Ruiyuan's escape brought the history of the right wing of the National Congress Party and the National Army to an end. A few days later, a colonel of the National Army was taken as a prisoner from the front line to the capital city of Shu.The prisoner that Zhao Shouhong wanted to meet by name was Ye Xun, who was famous for his combat skills in the national army.

After arriving in the capital city of Shu, Zhao Shouhong and Ye Xun had a meeting for several hours.I don't know what kind of ideological education Zhao Shouhong gave to Ye Xun during this private conversation. When they left the meeting room, their attitudes were already very affectionate.A few days later, Ye Xun announced to join the West Special Army and became a colonel commander of the garrison in the Ural Border Region.

With the support of domestic weapons and equipment and soldiers, Song Zheyuan only took a defensive position on the Ural Mountain defense line, attracting the offensive of the Red Alliance Army and consuming a large amount of the opponent's troops.In this direction, there will be a stalemate in a short period of time. The Red Alliance maintains its offensive against the West Army with a casualty ratio of fifteen to one.

The unusually low-key defense of the West Army on the western front is because Zhao Shouhong put most of his energy on the east. He wanted to take advantage of the favorable opportunity of this war to eliminate the threat from the Japanese country once and for all.Just when the two armies of the Far West Special Army and the Korean West Special Army surrounded Vladivostok and Busan, and Zhang Xueliang led the main force of the Feng army to march into Lushun, Japan embarked on a strategic adventure.

On the last day of October in 1927, Wa country began this final military adventure.Just a few days ago, the North Road of the West Special Army, which attacked the Far East, successfully crossed the strait and occupied the strategic Sakhalin Island.This largest island in China, which originally belonged to Hualan, has finally returned to the embrace of the motherland after more than 60 years.

After occupying Sakhalin Island, the strategic advantage of the West Special Army has become very obvious. Only blocking a few small islands, they have been able to threaten the safety of Hokkaido, the northernmost territory of the Wa Kingdom.If it weren't for the fact that the weather in winter was too cold and the transportation of materials was difficult, the West Special Army had already launched an attack on the Japanese mainland.

Even if they did not move, the Japanese government was shocked. They immediately announced a nationwide mobilization order, and 30 Japanese recruits were transferred to Hokkaido to build fortifications as soon as they put on their military uniforms.The Japanese government declared that it would defend its homeland to the death and prevent the invasion of the West Army.This series of actions of the Wa Kingdom attracted most of the energy of the special zone's intelligence department, but they did not expect that these recruits were originally a smoke screen for the Wa Kingdom military, in order to cover the upcoming adventure.

In the absence of naval cover, Wa country mobilized a large number of civilian ships on Shikoku Island for the transportation of troops.Wa country's move was originally to deceive people's eyes and ears, so as to avoid early detection of intentions.Such an unintentional move, but by coincidence, escaped the eyes and ears of the Yamada Zaibatsu densely distributed on Kyushu Island, and also escaped the monitoring of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Special Zone.

In the middle of the night on October 10, the Guards Division, Infantry No.31 Brigade, No.19 Ninth Brigade, and Field Artillery Fourth Brigade, which represented the last elite force of the Wa Kingdom, boarded the mooring in Takamatsu City. Ships in port.

Takamatsu City is a port city in the northeast of Shikoku Island. It is adjacent to the Seto Inland Sea. If you go to Koryo, it is not the best choice.But this place is better than not being noticeable, and it can avoid the sight of most spies, so this place was chosen as the starting point for this operation.

As early as half a month ago, the Japanese army had begun to quietly increase troops to Shikoku Island by changing defenses and other means.After Sakhalin Island was restored by the West Army, such troop transfers became more frequent. They took advantage of the opportunity of 30 recruits to go to Hokkaido to defend and successfully completed this transfer.

The military had already calculated that on the night of the waning of the moon, nearly [-] Japanese elite troops boarded temporarily recruited merchant ships and started their last expedition.Before this battle, the officers and soldiers of the army have been told that there is no backup and no supplies for this battle, and all merchant ships will return after arriving at the target.The only thing they can count on is the three basic numbers of ammunition and ten days of rations in their hands. If they can't reach their destination as soon as possible and defeat the defenders of the West Army in front of them, their only end is defeat.

In order to boost morale, the Emperor secretly sneaked to Shikoku Island to meet the soldiers and asked them to fight for the survival of the Emperor and the Japanese.These soldiers who have been brainwashed by militarism all said that they will fight to the last man for the future of the country and the nation.

The enthusiastic [-] Japanese troops sailed southwest along the coastline on merchant ships, and their goal was Goryeo.At dawn, the fleet arrived in Busan, and all troops were asked not to disembark, and the huge fleet was moored in the port without any contact with the defenders.

Chapter 96 Abnormal Situation

The local intelligence personnel of the special zone in Busan discovered this huge merchant fleet, regardless of their mistaken belief that it was supplies sent by the Wa Kingdom for the defense of Busan.This doubt was ignored, no one knew that these ships were full of Japanese soldiers.

When the night came again, this huge merchant fleet set sail again and quickly disappeared from the sight of Busan Port.After receiving the news, the intelligence personnel of the special zone only reported to the submarine force cruising in the Tsushima Strait, claiming that a Japanese merchant fleet was returning and hoped that they could intercept it.

The eight Seawolf 3 submarines that blocked the Tsushima Strait immediately assembled and began to search for a possible Japanese merchant fleet on the route, but they did not know that the destination of this fleet was not domestic, but farther north. place.

Four o'clock in the morning is the darkest time of the day.When the night before dawn was thick, the Japanese fleet had arrived at the sea off Incheon Port in the northern part of the Koryo Peninsula.In order to find out the situation on the shore, the Japanese army dispatched more than a dozen teams to use the lifesaving boats on the merchant ships to row towards the shore.

Their task is to scout the movements on the shore and make the best preparations for the landing of large troops.At this time, only the Second Baikal Garrison Division was stationed at Incheon Port, and the commander of this division was Lin Yurong, who was just 20 years old but already well-known in the army.This later Marshal of the Hualan Republic has now gained a reputation in the army for being bold and ruthless, and for sacrificing everything in order to achieve his goals. This is very unpopular within the West Army.

The West Army has always advocated the greatest victory at the least cost, but he never cared about his own casualties.Fortunately, the weapons and equipment of the West Army have always been superior to their opponents, so they have never suffered heavy casualties in previous battles, although the casualties of the troops under his command have always been higher than those of other brother troops.

Such a division commander who despises the lives of his subordinates should not be loved by the officers and soldiers, but in Lin Yurong's team, the opposite is true.Lin Yurong loves soldiers like a son, and often uses his own allowance to help those soldiers who have difficulties in their families. Moreover, he despises life and does not act recklessly. Every sacrifice of the troops will be greatly rewarded. Otherwise, such a soldier who is not liked by his superiors An officer will not become a division commander at a young age by virtue of his military exploits.

More importantly, Lin Yurong took the lead every time he fought, and he could always be seen in the place where the bullet rain was densest, even though he was miraculously never injured.Lin Yurong's approach won the support of the subordinate officers and soldiers. As a predator, they naturally loved such a chief officer very much. The troops he led became the troops with the most casualties among the garrison troops, but also the troops with the most outstanding military exploits.This time, Cai Songpo placed his troops here because he was worried about the safety of Incheon.

Lin Yurong's military administration is extremely strict. Although the garrison is subject to compulsory military service, he has strict requirements everywhere like a professional field army.Under such requirements, the Second Baikal Garrison Division has extremely strong tactical qualities, comparable to those of the veteran field army units, and they are even more disciplined than others.

For example, in the series of outposts set up on Wolmido Island, one kilometer outside Incheon Port, none of the sentries would doze off even in the sleepiest hour of the morning.Feng Jiu has been in the army for three years. As the sergeant squad leader, he is very responsible, especially at this time when it is easy to make people sleepy, and it is the time when he checks the guard most frequently.

He was a little restless this evening, as if something important was about to happen, and he got up at 03:30 in the morning.With a flashlight on, Feng Jiu climbed up the mountain road to the highest point of Yuewei Island, which was the highest defense post on the entire island.

Feng Jiu, who was a little out of breath, climbed to the place close to the top of the mountain. For a man who grew up on the plains, even after three years of training in the army, going up the mountain was still a bit unaccustomed.After breathing evenly, Feng Jiu walked towards the temporary outpost built with stones and sticks.

As soon as he got closer, the light of Feng Jiu's flashlight caught Chen Xiaoyu, the sentry who was crouching by the stone wall inside the outpost.Feng Jiu thought that Chen Xiaoyu was dozing against the wall, so he quickly stepped forward and said sharply: "Chen Xiaoyu, you are actually sleeping, so I am not afraid that the teacher will whip you."

What Feng Jiu didn't expect was that Chen Xiaoyu turned over and rushed towards him, pressing him directly under him, and at the same time blocked the light-emitting port of the flashlight with a cotton coat.Feng Jiu was attacked suddenly, and was about to fight back when he heard Chen Xiaoyu's deep voice: "The squad leader is not going to make a fuss, there is a situation."

Hearing the situation, Feng Jiu's body immediately tensed up. After many years in the army, he naturally knew the meaning of this sentence.Breaking free from under Chen Xiaoyu, Feng Jiu climbed to the wall and poked his head out carefully. He found some dark shadows moving around on the coastline below the mountain, as if they were looking for something.

Chen Xiaoyu turned off the flashlight, climbed up to Feng Jiu and said, "Squad leader, did you see that I've been watching them for a long time. These people came by boat, a total of twelve boats. After they arrived at the coast, they searched around. , obviously some soldiers. I am alone, and I dare not get too close, so I have to observe secretly here now."

"We must immediately send a signal to the mountain to let everyone enter the position." Feng Jiu said in a low voice.

"I have a flare gun here." Chen Xiaoyu took out the flare gun from a cabinet on the side of the post.With a muffled bang, a red flare rose slowly, illuminating the Japanese soldiers groping forward on the surrounding beaches.Those Japanese soldiers thought that someone fired a cannon, and immediately lay down on the muddy beach.

When the sentry at the foot of the mountain saw the signal flare, they immediately became alert. The harsh alarm bells rang out in the barracks. The soldiers in Godardan got up quickly, put on their clothes, picked up their weapons and left the dormitory within 20 seconds. "What happened?" Battalion Commander Guo Chao stood on the playground and asked the sentinel who rang the alarm.

"Reporting to the battalion commander, a red flare was fired on the mountain. This is a signal that an emergency requires a first-level combat readiness, so I rang the alarm bell." The sentinel replied.

"Very well, order all the troops to enter the nearby positions, and send someone to the mountain to ask what happened." Major Guo Chao did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered all platoons to enter the designated infantry positions according to the advance plan.The person who went up the mountain to ask questions has not returned yet, and the sound of cannons has already sounded from the fort on the top of the mountain.
