Only those who can fight can be reconciled. Although Fengjun is not ready, after all, it still has the prestige of a great victory. The Japanese have not yet come out of the shadow of defeat. Although several divisions have been rebuilt, their combat effectiveness is far from form.After the United Fleet suffered heavy losses, it may not dare to fight in China's coastal waters.

Both sides are beating wolves with hemp sticks, and they are afraid at both ends.Based on this judgment, Zhang Tinglan decided to take a gamble and put on a posture of a big war to force the Japanese to voluntarily abandon Qingdao.This is of course a very risky proposition, but it also means that after success, the rewards are also amazing.

Now that the Japanese have put forward a request for negotiation, things have begun to develop as expected, but Jiang Baili's reminder is also very reasonable, so Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "No matter what tricks the Japanese have, we must maintain enough pressure. Contact with the Japanese is possible, but the preparations of the army must not stop for a moment. Another tank regiment and an artillery regiment will be transferred into the customs.”

Zhang Tinglan thought for a while, and then said, "If you want to scare people, you have to get some real ones, and send armored trains and heavy siege artillery."

Since the capture of Russian armored trains, Fengjun has also carried out related research and development. Recently, eight armored trains have been produced, with a 76mm gun installed at the head and tail, and twenty heavy machine guns on the carriages. Four of them are Quite a special modification.It is dual-purpose, and can have a certain air defense capability, let alone dealing with infantry and cavalry.

To put it bluntly, an armored train is a moving fire hedgehog. Although the armored train has quite a few disadvantages, it is undeniable that it is still very useful. Moreover, if you want to fight against the Japanese army in Shandong, you must control the rubber. Jinan Railway.Armored trains are the artifacts that control railways.

The armored train not only has great practical value, but also has a great deterrent effect. Taking it out now will naturally put pressure on Japan, making them believe that the Fengjun is really preparing for World War I.Accompanied by two armored trains heading south.There are also eight 240mm howitzers that maneuver by rail.On the Korean peninsula, this cannon has already shown its power.At this time, they were all sent out.The same is to increase the pressure on the Japanese.

The strengthened Feng army took more initiative in Shandong. Li Jinglin commanded the troops and surrounded Jinan from three sides, only giving the Japanese in the city a way to escape to Qingdao.

Of course, this seems to be the only way to survive, and it is not so easy to go.The people in Shandong have been organized. Along the Jiaoji Railway, there are an astonishing number of militia troops who can destroy the railway at any time.Blow up bridges.Not to mention that Fengtian still firmly holds the superiority in the air, fighters and bombers may blow up the road at any time.

While Li Jinglin was actively preparing for the battle, Huang Xiansheng followed Zhang Tinglan's order and led the tank regiment to the outskirts of Jinan.The soldiers unloaded these steel monsters from the train and lined them up, as if the wild beasts were resurrected, the steel roared, shaking everyone's heart.

"Captain Huang, do you have any orders from the commander-in-chief? When will the battle start? Brothers can't wait."

Huang Xiansheng spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "I'm also looking forward to the war, but I heard that we are in contact with the Japanese, trying to get them to hand over Shandong peacefully, but I don't know if the little devil will be obedient."

"Ah!" Li Jinglin sighed, "I've gathered enough energy to fight for success in Shandong, but I have accepted the flags sent by the students. Who would have thought that these Japanese It's so unreasonable! Are our tens of thousands of troops just staring at those little devils in the city?"

"When the commander-in-chief came, he had a special explanation. Of course, we can't make things easier for the Japanese. The commander-in-chief has already authorized us. As long as we don't fire the first shot, we can do whatever we want. It's best that the Japanese can't bear it and give up voluntarily." Jinan, the next step is Qingdao, if this can be achieved, the negotiation will be left!"

When Li Jinglin heard it, his eyes lit up. Zhang Tinglan's order opened up a whole new way of thinking for him.Fighting does not mean fighting on the battlefield with real swords and guns.Other measures can be taken to make the Japanese uncomfortable.

He turned around on the ground a few times, and then said with a smile: "Tuan Zhang, you have to work hard, and the tank regiment will go around the city of Jinan for me immediately, so that the Japanese in the city can see it, and scare their courage!"

Huang Xiansheng hurriedly nodded in agreement. He led the tank regiment, and immediately followed Li Jinglin's order, circled outside Jinan City. The Japanese soldiers in the city could clearly see these huge monsters, and they were also shocked by this powerful war machine.

The tanks drove in, kicking up a huge cloud of dust, covering the sky and the sun. In the dust, steel behemoths rushed out ferociously. The thick and slender muzzles showed unparalleled majesty and power. With the order, the city defense of Jinan can be broken through and all the Japanese inside will be wiped out.

The huge roar is like a nightmare in the ear, which lasts for a long time.While Fengjun arranged to start negotiations with the Japanese, he used all his strength to harass the Japanese. This competition of wills finally began.

Since the purpose is to harass and intimidate the Japanese, Feng Jun will definitely not do this.At night, the Feng army would quietly approach the Japanese positions, and then light firecrackers, and the sudden explosion sounded like a machine gun.

The sleeping Japanese soldiers would wake up immediately. They dressed in a hurry and prepared to deal with the attack, but there was nothing but firecracker debris all over the place, which seemed to mock their stupidity.

This is just pediatrics, if you try your best, you can barely pass, but there are some things that are simply impossible to guard against, and that is Fengjun's bombers.The roar of the engine is a terrible noise. People who are relatively close to the airport in later generations usually have some mental problems.

Feng Jun also used the planes, and the bombers flew over Jinan at low altitude from time to time.The roaring sound is like thunder in the ears.Especially the Japanese garrison where the planes focused on it, the huge noise tormented the nerves of the Japanese people, making them unable to sleep all night. After a few days, everyone was full of panda eyes, which was more tiring than fighting hard.

Of course, some Japanese have become smarter. They use cotton and cloth strips to plug their ears, trying to avoid the harassment of voices.But Feng Jun's harassment also escalated accordingly.The soldiers made special modifications to the wings and added huge whistles on them, which multiplied the noise.

The sharp and shrill whistle kept ringing, the sound was indescribable, and it was useless to block the ears.This sound seems to be transmitted from the bones, and the whole person is surrounded by sound waves.There is no way to escape.More and more Japanese soldiers suffered from insomnia, they became irritable like never before, and everyone was under tremendous pressure.

At night, the Feng army not only carried out these harassment actions, but also conducted various exercises around the city, with the sound of bullets.Intensive and violent, the disturbing Japanese can't sleep at all.

No one knows whether Fengjun will suddenly launch a siege campaign in the middle of the exercise, so these Japanese troops must pay more attention.Consuming the already overdrawn spirit.More and more Japanese appeared to be unprecedentedly irritable, yelling loudly at every turn. In the army, there were more and more fighting incidents, the morale of the army was fluctuating, and morale was low.

At this time, the negotiations between China and Japan have reached a critical moment. China's attitude is very clear. Japan must return Qingdao unconditionally and withdraw all Japanese troops.The Japanese side denied it in every possible way. They simply had to postpone it for five years before negotiating and discussing the issue of ownership.

Feng Jun firmly disagreed with this unreasonable request, and Zhang Tinglan continued to increase troops to the front, posing a stance of encircling Qingdao and Jinan.In addition, Zhang Tinglan mobilized [-] more torpedo boats to go south along the coastline. Although the torpedo boats are small, they can often play a small role in inshore operations.

There is no way to compare the current detection methods with those of later generations. Small torpedo boats are fast and small, and are very difficult targets to attack. The volume of dozens of tons or hundreds of tons determines that these little guys can even hide behind the waves. Fast approaching large warships.

Once approached, the torpedo is launched, which is a nightmare for large warships. The Japanese have already had a profound experience. The Nagato was almost sent to the bottom of the sea by these small things, and it is still being repaired in the shipyard.

These torpedo boats concentrated southward, making the Japanese combined fleet even more afraid to rush to the coast of China.On the one hand, troops were dispatched, and on the other hand, Fengjun's harassment fortifications were also strengthened. Fengjun began to throw a large number of Japanese newspapers and pictures to Jinan and Qingdao, with scenery from all over Japan printed on them, as well as a large number of pictures of geisha.

This immediately evoked the homesickness of the Japanese, especially those pictures of geisha, which made the Japanese army who had been depressed for a long time even more depressed.They gathered together in twos and threes, talking about all kinds of nasty jokes, and then looking forward to the scene after returning home.

Since the throwing of these photos, the amount of straw paper in the Japanese military camp has been consumed rapidly, and the speed has become more and more alarming, and the state of the soldiers has become more and more confused.

The Japanese soldiers who were guarding the position suddenly heard a familiar melody wafting from the Fengjun camp opposite. The folk songs from their hometown rang in their ears again. A young soldier heard the sound and couldn't help humming softly. stand up.

"idiot!"

A Japanese officer rushed over and slapped the soldier a few times. Unexpectedly, after the slaps were over, the soldier did not keep saying hi-hi as usual, but lay on the ground, in pain. Runny nose, kept chanting the name of his fiancée, and the other soldiers also showed deep sympathy when they saw this.

These movements of the Japanese army were also reported to Yubi Guangwei, the Japanese general, who was also extremely worried.In a desperate battle with Fengjun, their chances of winning are not high at all, and Japan can no longer afford to lose. It is precisely because of this that they can only restrain themselves as much as possible in the face of Fengjun's harassment.

This is a contest of wills, and it depends on who can't bear it first.Gu Weijun led the Chinese delegation and Japanese Foreign Minister Yasuya Uchida was also engaged in a fierce debate. Although Uchida was aggressive, he was already a little bit harsh, and his tone gradually weakened.

"Qingdao can be handed back to China in advance, but in Qingdao, the empire has a large number of expatriates and has special interests. Because we require the establishment of a consulate in Qingdao, and at the same time retain the agencies that manage the expatriates. In addition, the empire also has a lot of investment in Shandong, These must be protected, and only if this is done, the empire will consider the issue of withdrawing troops from Shandong."

"Mr. Uchida, you said that a thief stole a sheep from someone else's family, and then fed it for a period of time. The sheep gave birth to a lamb. Can this lamb belong to the thief? Obviously not. The Japanese illegally stole Shandong, and then The immigration and investment carried out are all illegal, since they are illegal, we have no need to protect, Shandong must be completely, completely, and handed over to China without leaving any tail.”

Uchida looked angry and said loudly: "Mr. Gu, you are choosing war."

"Mr. Uchida, you are mistaken. There is a country that disregarded China's opposition and went to the land of Shandong to start a war against the Germans. From the moment the troops were dispatched, it should be clear that the Chinese people would never agree to such a thing. of!"

Uchida and Gu Weijun quarreled, obviously they couldn't find any advantage, and the defenders in Shandong faced constant harassment from the Feng army, and the situation became more and more unfavorable to Japan.Unless it is to mobilize a few divisions to fight with Fengjun in Shandong, otherwise there is no way to continue to control Qingdao.

The negotiation was at an impasse again, and at this time Zhang Tinglan was in the arsenal again. No matter what time it was, war was the last resort, and only by sharpening the spear in his hand would he have a chance of winning.

"Marshal, we have launched two new products recently. If they are used well, they will definitely make the Japanese suffer a lot!" Tao Jiping smiled and introduced to Zhang Tinglan: "This is a magnetic mine that has just been developed. An experiment was done in Peter the Great Bay, and the effect was astonishing. After sinking the mine, as long as a warship sails past, it will touch the mine and explode. If this thing is placed outside Jiaozhou Bay, the Japanese fleet will come. One stroke is enough to cost them a lot."

Apparently, Tao Jiping was very satisfied with the performance of the magnetic mine, and Zhang Tinglan was also very happy when he heard that this kind of weapon had been developed.

"Good job. We have used ordinary anchor mines a few times. The Japanese are already prepared. If we want to achieve results in the war, we must be surprised. Magnetic mines are a good thing!"

The original magnetic mine was developed by the Germans before World War II. It once caused the British to suffer a lot. Seventeen warships were bombed and sunk. Now the Fengjun has produced this thing, but it is a rare piece killer feature.

Chapter 691 An Unexpected Victory

As we all know, ships go through a long period of time when they are built in shipyards.During this period of time, the steel plates and other iron pieces that make up the hull will be gradually magnetized by the earth's magnetic field due to frequent knocking, thus becoming magnetic.Once the ship is launched, it becomes a large floating magnet.

In response to this situation, a magnetic mine was developed. Once the ship passes over the magnetic mine, its own magnetic field will touch the mine and cause an explosion.The advantage of this kind of mine is that it does not require direct contact. When laying mines, you only need to sink the mines to the bottom, and then wait for the ship to take the bait.

Compared with anchor mines and floating mines, magnetic mines are more concealed, and they are simply a must-have for home travel and killing people.Since the Fengjun used mines to sink the Kirishima, the mine race between China and Japan has actually begun.War is always a contest between spear and shield. Never expect a single weapon to sweep the world, but requires constant updating and progress. As long as you get ahead of the enemy, you can take the lead.

Zhang Tinglan is also well aware of this point. Before the Grand Fleet was formed, mines were his trump card to contain the Japanese United Fleet. At worst, my door was covered with mines. Let me see who dares to come here!

It is precisely because of this consideration that Zhang Tinglan pays close attention to the development of mines, and also put forward some opinions. The technical thing is a layer of window paper, which was just not thought of in the past.Zhang Tinglan proposed the concept of magnetic mines, and the arsenal quickly produced the finished product after several months of research and development.

"Marshal, last time you mentioned water pressure mines. According to the changes in water pressure when warships pass by, the mines will be detonated. We have also done research on this, but there is one problem, that is, our water pressure fuzes are very weak. Stable. It is very easy to detonate, and it is still in the experiment.”

"Well, don't worry, temporarily having magnetic mines is enough to make Japan suffer a bit. The problem in Shandong can't be delayed any longer. Our tens of thousands of troops are outside, and the consumption is too great. With this mine After that, there is a little more chance of winning."

"Master. We also have a new product, which is the ground penetrating bomb. It was originally developed for Luda, but we were a little slower. Fortunately, Luda recovered peacefully. There was no bloody battle. Otherwise it's our fault."

Zhang Tinglan heard the ground bomb.Immediately, his eyes brightened.Whether it is Luda or Qingdao, they are operated by two empires, and all kinds of fortifications are densely covered. Ordinary attacks will not have much effect at all, and will also damage soldiers and generals.

If there is a penetrator.Then the effect will be quite different, all the most difficult underground fortifications will be destroyed one by one, making it much easier for troops to attack.
