Fortifications, although the Japanese army was very careful, but after all, they were just ordinary fortifications.

In the face of ordinary infantry artillery, they may be able to withstand it.But in the face of heavy artillery such as 120mm and 150mm, those fortifications are nothing.

For a heavy artillery of this scale, there is basically no indestructible fortification at present.The wharf fortifications built by Japan are barely able to defend against ordinary artillery, but there is no way to deal with heavy artillery.

Those fortifications were easily destroyed by heavy artillery.

Without those fortifications, that little army could not defend at all.As for the Japanese warships currently on the Yangtze River, how dare they go to those docks.

The order of the Chinese government has been issued.

All the troops on the shore can be sunk directly as long as they encounter a Japanese warship without a white flag.How can those warships have the strength to save the dock.

"Which army is it?"

Yasuya Uchida is under a lot of pressure now.

The current Prime Minister of Japan is Yusaburo Kato.It's just that he suddenly fell ill more than half a month ago, and now he is bedridden and unable to deal with things at all.Therefore, Uchida Yasuya temporarily served as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet as the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

It's just that he was very unlucky.

He has just served as the prime minister of the interim cabinet, and it has been less than half a month now.But just after he became the prime minister of the interim cabinet, bad things have been happening on China's side.It started with the customs issue, and then the Chinese police shot and killed the Japanese.Anyway, Sino-Japanese relations, which have always been very friendly, suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse.

The situation is getting worse.

Now the Japanese army and the Chinese army are fighting directly.

The Japanese government's response was a little slow this time, in fact, because of problems in the Japanese cabinet.Coincidentally, Yusaburo Kato, the serious cabinet prime minister, fell ill and couldn't handle things at all.And judging from the current situation, it is estimated that his body will not be able to survive.

His fall like this made the Japanese cabinet very chaotic.All forces are vying for the prime minister's position and control of the cabinet.Uchida Yasuya is just a temporary replacement.

Not much power.

There is a lag in many aspects of decision-making.

When something like this happened, there should have been a quick decision on what to do.But because the powers of the cabinet are uncertain and the control of the cabinet is uncertain, it is very difficult to make decisions.

Everyone pays more attention to how to control the cabinet, and pushes back what happened in China.

caused the current situation.

Reporting to Uchida Yasuya now is Hirota Koki, Chief of the Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.It is Uchida Yasuya who is a very important official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.At present, the intelligence agencies of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are all in charge of Hirota Koki.

"Participating in the attack on our army's pier is the Second Army and Eighth Division of the Chinese Government's Disaster Relief Mobile Force."

"The Second Army of the Disaster Relief Mobile Force? The Eighth Division? What kind of army is this?"

Koya Uchida frowned.

Thinking about which unit it is.Uchida Yasuya is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, so it is impossible to know everything.Hirota Koki immediately introduced to Uchida Koya: "From the end of last year to the beginning of this year, the Chinese government organized some troops from the front line into the disaster relief mobile force, which caused a lot of controversy. The two most controversial troops at that time were The two main forces under Lu Yongxiang, the former patrol envoy of the Yangtze River, are Xie Hongxun's 52nd Army and Wang Pu's Independent Division. These two troops attacked our army's pier."

Hirota Koki is the intelligence chief of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The changes in the Chinese military establishment are very clear.He is also very clear about the origins of Xie Hongxun and Wang Pu's troops.

"The beginning of the year."

Uchida Yasuya nodded slowly.

He remembered.At the beginning of the year, there was a lot of speculation in China because of the military issue, and there were a lot of gossip.It is said that Duan Xun is cutting off some troops that are not direct descendants, mainly the original Lu Yongxiang's troops.Yasuya Uchida was Minister of Foreign Affairs at that time.

Just listened as a joke.

Never mind.

That's the way it is.As the saying goes, "one emperor, one courtier", anyone who goes up will reuse his own people and exclude those who are not directly related.After Duan Xun defeated Lu Yongxiang, it was normal to slowly exclude Lu Yongxiang's people.Especially in the army, it is necessary to exclude those who are not directly descended from the army.

Because the military issue is very sensitive.

Uchida Yasuya is like this, and the Japanese military thinks so.The Japanese army watched the farce of the Chinese government at that time as if they were watching a joke.They actually wish Duan Xun could fight those troops.

That would be more fun to watch.

How fun.

"How is their combat effectiveness?"

"The combat effectiveness is not very clear. But according to the information we got, their firepower is very strong. As I just reported, they even pulled up the 150mm heavy artillery. And among their troops are infantry artillery, mortars, and heavy machine guns. There is no shortage of weapons. In terms of weapon equipment, it is not much worse than our army."

"Cunning, the Chinese government is really cunning."

Uchida Yasuya's face slowly turned ferocious.

Because even if he is a fool, he has already seen the problem.A mobile unit transferred from the front line to the disaster relief is considered a unit that needs to be suppressed.Such an army should be declining more and more, and its weapons and equipment are getting worse and worse.How could they have such a good weapon.

How could Duan Xun let them keep such good weapons.

Since these troops maintain such good weapons, it is not to exclude them.Looking back now, it is obvious that this was only to deploy these troops along the Yangtze River, so as not to alert the Japanese army.Therefore, such a "ridiculous" excuse was used.

Damn.

Although Uchida Yasuya is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, he has been in the diplomatic field for many years.But Uchida Koya is a very fanatical militarist.Now China has carried out a comprehensive encirclement and suppression of Japan's forces in China.

How can I bear it at this time.

"Anything else?"

"Mr. Pan's telegram said that the Chinese government wanted to renegotiate the 'Luda Land Lease Treaty' and asked us to hand over the Kanto Prefecture and South Manchuria Railways."

"Hmph, that's a good idea."

Uchida Yasuya snorted coldly, and said, "The Kanto State and South Manchuria Railways were bought with blood by the warriors of the empire 20 years ago. How could they be handed over to the Chinese government?"

Damn stuff.

For the benefit of the Northeast, how many soldiers in Japan lost their lives during the "Russian-Japanese War".For the Russo-Japanese War, Japan's fiscal revenue collapsed, not to mention how many soldiers were killed or injured.

If it hadn't been for World War I, the Japanese government's finances would really go bankrupt.

The Chinese government now wants to take away?

joke.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, there is one more thing. The Chinese government has issued an order for Chinese students and staff in our country to temporarily return to China. Many Chinese students have already begun to return to China by boat."

"Evacuate students and staff?"

Koya Uchida frowned.
