Fengxian Jiangshan

Jiang Fangzhen also smiled and said: "The big actors are all singing the finale of the big show, don't worry, there must be a time to show their skills."

"Marshal, the arrangements are almost done, so what should our Air Force do?" Feng Yong also asked anxiously.

Zhang Tinglan suddenly laughed: "The air force has the heaviest burden. Besides submarines, we want to deal with Japanese warships. The air force is the biggest trump card. You have to cooperate with the navy to protect the coast between Shanhaiguan and Yingkou. Something went wrong."

As Zhang Tinglan said, he pulled Feng Yong again, turned to the opposite side of the sand table, pointed to the Yalu River with his finger, and then said with a smile: "There is a Yalu River Bridge between Sinuiju and Dandong, which is the throat of North Korea and the Northeast. Let's go to war." After that, the bombers must be concentrated to blow up the bridge to prevent the North Korean and Japanese troops from entering the Northeast.”

When Feng Yong heard it, he suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Commander, the Air Force will definitely complete the mission."

After Zhang Tinglan dispatched troops, everyone went to prepare, only Jiang Fangzhen and Yang Yuting remained in the meeting room.

"Zhuoyan, there will be a battle between China and Japan sooner or later. Whether it is an early fight or a late fight, I am confident that the victory will definitely belong to us!" Jiang Baili appraised and said: "China has been passed down for 5000 years, and it is more dangerous than this time." , It’s not like we’ve had it before, but we’ve all come through, and it’s the same this time! Thousands of words, as long as we persevere, the Japanese will surely lose.”

Hearing what Jiang Baili said, Zhang Tinglan was also very moved. Perhaps in another time and space, formally based on this judgment, Jiang Baili wrote the Theory of National Defense. With thousands of words, I only tell you one sentence, China has a solution!

"Brother Baili, the conditions in our hands are so good that we can produce almost everything by ourselves. There is no reason why we can't continue to fight. It is wishful thinking to want me to bow my head to Japan!"

Zhang Tinglan had already prepared for the worst, and the worst would happen.Just as Feng Jun was preparing for battle, Tokyo, Japan was also quarreling fiercely.

Due to the problem of fighting in the Far East, Prime Minister Yuan Jing succumbed to the pressure of the Fengjun and withdrew from the Far East, wasting huge military expenditures in vain, and watched the Far East fall into the control of the Fengjun.The Japanese regard this cup as the biggest diplomatic failure since the Meiji Restoration.

The radical mid-level and lower-level military officers didn't care about the difficult situation of the Japanese government. They put all the responsibility on Yuan Jing, calling Yuan Jing a national traitor.Of course, the military also intended to connive. They wanted to get rid of Yuan Jing, and then took the opportunity to expand their military strength. In this way, the prime minister became a scapegoat and was assassinated at the train station.

Hara Takashi was Japan's first civilian prime minister. His death also intensified the contradictions in the Japanese political arena.

Moreover, at this juncture, Japan's Supreme Emperor, Yuanlao Shanxian Youpeng also died, so there was a huge vacuum in the Japanese political arena, and the situation was very chaotic.

Therefore, after receiving the news that the King Kong and Kirishima were sunk, the Japanese government fell into a panic. Their first reaction was to strictly control public opinion, and then conduct closed-door consultations to come up with a set of action plans.

The new Prime Minister Takahashi Isaki presided over the cabinet meeting. The Minister of the Navy, Yusaburo Kato, and the Minister of the Army, Yoshiichi Tanaka, all tried their best to take the lead in the war, and demanded that the Japanese government immediately declare war on China, mobilize the power of the whole country, eliminate the Fengjun, and occupy the whole of China.

They also represent the attitude of the military, but there are different views in the cabinet. Takahashi is a representative. Since the Meiji Restoration, he has served as the president of the Bank of Japan and has served as the Minister of Finance many times, which is rare in Japan. financial experts.

Of course, he also advocates external expansion, but he is still very opposed to reckless behavior beyond Japan's national power, especially at this time, Japan has not yet recovered due to sending troops to the Far East, and the naval arms race with the United States and Britain has reached a critical moment.

After Japan built the Nagato, it devoted all its efforts to building the larger Kaga-class battleships and the Amagi-class battlecruisers, all of which were burning money.Moreover, due to the huge amount of money invested in the navy, the army's equipment has not been updated for a long time.

During the battle against Russia, the Feng army used a large number of heavy artillery, tanks and other weapons, and the Japanese army also wanted to produce them, but due to insufficient resources, it has been delayed.

Under such circumstances, it is very impractical to launch a full-scale war against China. Takahashi couldn't help but said: "The empire's finances are tight, and the big powers have just gone through a war, so they will definitely not support the empire's expansion of the war. I think declaring war is a little bit inappropriate.

"Ah?" Tanaka Yoshih immediately became furious. Shanxian Youpeng died, and he inherited the old man's huge political resources, and the weight of his words was very different from before.

"Prime Minister, do you think that the empire sank two main warships, so you still have to keep silent?"

"Of course not. I just oppose declaring war on China. Just like during the Nissin War, our opponent was Beiyang, but at this time our opponent is Fengjun. There is really no need to involve the whole of China."

While the two were arguing, Foreign Minister Uchida Yasuya suddenly said: "War does not have to be declared, we will take military action in the name of punishing Fengjun. If it goes well, we will declare war. If the international situation is unfavorable, we will fight." Limited to the territory of Manchuria."

Uchida's method sounds a bit whimsical, but it is still a way. Anyway, the Japanese are used to undeclared wars, the Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, and so on. There is no burden to do it again.

Soon the Japanese cabinet reached a consensus, and the war machine was also in operation.Foreign Minister Yasuya Uchida delivered a strongly worded speech, accusing Fengjun of despicable and shameless attack on Japanese warships, the Japanese Empire took military action, and decisively taught Fengjun a lesson.

Observers from all over the world are paying attention to the situation in the Far East. Japan has finally expressed its attitude. Although the war is inevitable, but fortunately there is no two most fatal words of declaring war, and there may be a chance of redemption.

The diplomats were doing the final mediation, and the army had already started the preparations for the war. At this time, a spark suddenly fell between China and Japan.

Han Shuo is a soldier who has recently joined the Feng army. The border guards he is in are in charge of patrolling along the Tumen River. He is walking down Zhanggu Peak with other soldiers. At this moment, he suddenly appears in the distance. A few Koreans with strange whereabouts have been caught, and they have entered the Chinese side.

"Who, stop!"

As soon as the two North Koreans were discovered, they turned around and ran away. Han Shuo suddenly pulled the trigger, and one of them fell to the ground with a big hole in his head, and blood was gurgling.

The other one wanted to escape, but at this time other soldiers also chased after him, and fired three shots in a row, and the North Korean also fell to the ground.

Chapter 643 Battle of Gaizhou

Zhanggufeng is a small mountain between China and Russia. It is located in the southeast of Hunchun City, Jilin Province. Less than 5 kilometers to the northwest.

When the Qing Dynasty signed the Aigun Treaty with Tsarist Russia, this place belonged to China's territory, but the Russians played a trick and changed the text of the treaty in Russian without permission, bringing this place under their own control.There is another small mountain 2 kilometers north of Zhanggu Peak, called Shacao Peak. On the east side of Zhanggu Peak is the north-south long Hassan Lake, on the west side is the small plain by the Tumen River, and on the south is Fangfang Lake. Kawamura 1.5 km.

Although this is an inconspicuous small place, it is of great importance. Zhang Gufeng is the barrier of Vladivostok, and at the same time guards the mouth of the Tumen River. It is a nail nailed by China in the Sea of ​​Japan, with amazing strategic value.

Originally, it was a game between China, Russia and Japan, but since the establishment of the Far East Empire, Russia's position in the Far East has been replaced by Fengjun.Vladivostok has been leased by the Fengjun, and Zhang Gufeng has returned to the embrace of China. The Fengjun built a fort here and tied barbed wire.

The Japanese also knew the value of this place, so they coveted it. In the name of North Koreans going to Janggufeng to worship their ancestors, they asked spies to dress up as Koreans and come here to spy on intelligence from time to time. The two sides often clashed.

At this time, the swords between China and Japan were on the verge of breaking out. Han Shuo discovered the strange North Koreans again, and of course he would not let them go. They killed both of them.

In their pockets, they found a few pieces of paper, which happened to draw the terrain near Zhang Gufeng. These two guys were undoubtedly Japanese spies.

The gunshots broke the silence, and the Japanese on the opposite side were also alarmed. A small group of Japanese soldiers rushed towards Zhang Gufeng quickly.Han Shuo and the others were at a disadvantage in numbers, so they could only retreat to Zhanggufeng's position and exchange fire with the Japanese while reporting the situation to their superiors.

fire!

The news was like a blockbuster.It fell on everyone's heads. It was Qin Wei who was in charge of the Tumenjiang defense line. He had just got off the plane and received a report from the front line. Qin Wei was also taken aback when he saw this report.

During the battle deployment, only Zhang Tinglan noticed the front line of Tumen.And there may be a conflict in the prophecy, and the result turned out to be exactly as Zhang Tinglan predicted.The first shot on land with the Japanese did not happen in Fengtian, nor in southern Liaoning, but happened to appear in the small Zhanggufeng.

At this time, Qin Wei also had to admire Zhang Tinglan's monstrous foresight ability, how could this be human thinking!

Actually Qin Wei didn't know.The reason why Zhang Tinglan paid attention to this place was because of the Zhang Gufeng incident in history, which made Zhang Tinglan think a little more than others.

But Qin Wei didn't know this, and his superstition towards Zhang Tinglan entered a new level.

"Immediately transfer a battalion to defend Zhanggufeng. The troops along the line are ready to fight and deal with the Japanese attack at any time."

After the order is delivered.The army moved very quickly. Soldiers on vacation returned to the barracks, weapons were issued, and the shortage was replenished. Food and military supplies were continuously delivered.

Militia mobilized everywhere.After transporting supplies and rushing to repair bridges and roads, after the baptism of war, Fengjun's mobilization system has shown unprecedented efficiency.

At this time, Zhang Gufeng's battle was at its most intense, and the number of Japanese attacking troops had increased to a brigade. They forcibly crossed the Tumen River and used artillery as cover.Launched a violent assault on Zhang Gufeng.

The sound of guns and guns rang together, and clouds of black smoke rose above the narrow high ground.Han Shuo has been stationed at Zhanggufeng for two consecutive days, and he is the only soldier in the first squad who is still holding on.Others either sacrificed or were sent to the rear for rescue due to injuries.

The Japanese rushed up from below again, and the rigorous and rigid three skirmish lines surged towards the mountain like waves.

"Quick, bullet!"

The hoarse voice of the machine gunner was shouting, da da da, da da da, the Maxim heavy machine gun made a hurried sound, and the Japanese hot ones were swept down one by one.

Han Shuo pointed his gun at a sergeant rushing forward, snap!A bullet accurately pierced his head, and there was another dead body on the hillside.

The fighting between the two sides has become more and more intense, but this can only be regarded as a microcosm of the entire front.Ever since the exchange of fire broke out in Zhang Gufeng, the Japanese also knew that there was only one choice at this time, and that was to fight!

At this time, the commander of the Kwantung Army was Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshinori. This guy also had many crimes. In the original history, he killed Zhang Zuolin when he was the Minister of War. Later, he led the army to provoke one or two The Eighth Incident, attacking Shanghai, with blood on both hands.

However, he did not end well. In 1932, under the order of Wang Yaqiao, the Korean Yi Bongji blew up Shirakawa Yoshinori to death at a ceremony, eradicating the executioner for the innocent people.
