Various large and small ships soon appeared on the Wuhan River, and the soldiers began to capture the Japanese sailors who were still soaking in the Yangtze River. These Japanese soldiers were still very tenacious. Many of them were unwilling to be captured by the Chinese and even refused to be captured by the Chinese.
They resisted desperately, but the Chinese army had received instructions long ago. If these people resisted, they would simply not save them and let these bastards soak in the river to see who could survive to the end.
Takeo Abe had sobered up a bit at this time, but he would rather remain confused. He brought ten ships to Hubei, and now there are only three troop transports and two seriously injured destroyers left. He is very clear about the rest.
These ships are also vulnerable in front of airplanes. I am afraid that the other side still has room to attack. Otherwise, if it happens again, people like us will either be buried in the belly of the fish or captured by the Chinese.
After thinking for a long time, Takeo Abe had no choice but to order the remaining warships to retreat. Abe seemed to have seen his tragic end. He didn't even get to the edge of Wuhan, but was bombed back by Chinese planes, and also destroyed Japan's original plan.
It was a plan to cut through the mess with a quick knife, and what was even worse was that the Chinese won, which would greatly boost the morale of the Chinese side and might even trigger a larger anti-Japanese wave.
At that time, I will be a sinner of the empire, a heinous crime!
Takeo Abe couldn't help but rub his command sword with trembling hands. The sword that used to bring him courage was now like a poisonous snake, showing its sharp fangs and staring at him. Abe fell into a state of endless terror.
middle.
Towards evening, Shi Yi and Xia Douyin captured a total of 624 prisoners, and about a hundred Japanese soldiers were buried in the belly of the fish. With the news of the conflict between the Chinese and Japanese armies on the Yangtze River, all the powers had a tacit understanding, and Japan
After all, they are still the powerful ones in the Far East. When Japan promised to safeguard the interests of these countries, they were no longer willing to confront Japan. Even the United States chose to retreat and sit on the sidelines.'
But the battle that occurred immediately on the Yangtze River shocked them greatly. The Chinese army relied on dozens of aircraft to send five Japanese ships to the bottom of the river in one fell swoop, and captured hundreds of Japanese prisoners. Suddenly Sichuan was under
The weight in the eyes of the great powers is different. This is not only an economic partner, but also an important force that can restrict the situation in the Far East. All countries must pay greater attention to it.
Just when reporters from various countries gathered at the riverside, they happened to see the Chinese army escorting a large number of Japanese prisoners from the river to the military camp. These Japanese sailors looked extremely embarrassed at this time, covered in mud and water, and dejected, as if they had no
They are as hairy as pheasants. These foreign reporters never thought that they would see this kind of situation. It is like the sun is rising from the west. When will the Chinese be so proud? Haven't they always been cowardly and incompetent? They also have advanced weapons, but
They were all used to protect Lafayette. Aren't they smoking opium all day long? How could they have such a mighty army?
The crazy flashing lights made the Japanese prisoners feel extremely unnatural, as if once they were photographed, their ugly behavior might be discovered by Japan, and they would be forever burdened with the crime and unable to turn over.
If foreign reporters are just curious, Chinese reporters are simply excited. The Chinese have been burdened with huge humiliation since the Qing Dynasty. Foreigners have wreaked havoc on Chinese territory again and again, and the Chinese government has retreated step by step.
China has always suffered losses in conflicts with foreign powers. In major conflicts, China ceded territory and paid compensation, and in minor conflicts, China apologized. This has always been the case, and there has never been any change.
Now the direction of the wind has suddenly changed. It is the Chinese army that has captured all the Japanese. This is absolutely explosive news. Of course, some reporters are saying strange things. The Chinese army is acting recklessly. Once it offends Japan, what will happen?
Nothing good will happen if these warriors are in power...
There was chaos outside Wuhan, and the same was true in Chengdu. After Shi Yi sank the Japanese ship, he hurriedly reported the situation to Qiao Yu and asked for instructions on how to deal with the captured prisoners.
"Commander, I really didn't expect that a small plane could easily sink a huge ship. It seems that the world will be dominated by planes in the future, and the air will become more and more important!" Wu Tong looked at the battle report and sighed with emotion, "
Commander, we captured more than 600 prisoners. Last time, Britain was worried about the safety of the prisoners and finally chose to compromise. I think this trick can also be used on Japan!"
Jiang Baili shook his head repeatedly, "Chief of Staff, you don't seem to understand the Japanese very well. The Japanese are narrow-minded and extreme. They will not choose to compromise just because of hundreds of soldiers. On the contrary, they will retaliate even more crazily, and these prisoners will not
They will be willing to be captured. If they cannot be carefully guarded, I am afraid that these prisoners will try their best to commit suicide. This is the character of the Japanese!"
Wu Tong was dumbfounded when he heard this, "Commander, aren't these prisoners a big trouble? It's better to let them all die at the bottom of the river!"
Qiao Yu said: "Chief of Staff, the Japanese are not monolithic. In the process of industrialization in Japan, too many people's interests have been sacrificed. Moreover, the lives of the Japanese people are not much better than those in China. Apart from a little dignity, they have nothing else.
They are all the same. There are more and more riots over rice in Japan. We must be good at taking advantage of this sentiment among the Japanese people. These Japanese prisoners are good seeds. We must not only raise them well, but also educate them well and let them understand that the only way to overthrow is
Only by defeating Japan's evil government can their lives get better, and they don't have to act like cannon fodder everywhere. The emperor is the source of all evil, and the warlords and plutocrats are the worms in the world!"
Japan can hold Sun Wen's party members with one hand and threaten Yuan Shikai with the other. Qiao Yu can also train a group of Japanese traitors and make these people a good card for them. It may take a long time to have an effect, but this kind of
He felt that the investment was worth it, so Qiao Yu hurriedly ordered Shi Yi to send the Japanese prisoners to Sichuan as soon as possible and manage them properly.
"Qiao Shuai, although we have won a good start, Japan may become angry and angry next. What other big moves are there? Wuhan's defense force must be strengthened, especially the number of aircraft bombs must be increased. Only aircraft are the best way to contain Japan.
Good weapon!"
"Brother Jiang is right. All planes from Sichuan will be transferred to Wuhan. With air superiority, Japan will completely give up on Hanyang Iron Works. But what I am worried about now is not Wuhan. Even if Japan sends warships, the biggest one will be
It's only a few thousand tons. Just a few bombs are enough to sink it, and the Yangtze River channel is so wide. If Japan sends too many warships, it will definitely affect the navigation of cargo ships. Britain and France will not agree. It can be said that this battle
After the fight is over, all that’s left is a lawsuit, but what I’m more worried about is Beijing!”
At this time, the situation in Beijing was going in the direction that Qiao Yu thought. Japanese Minister Hichiji Masuzu was roaring loudly in Zhongnanhai: "Your Excellency, the Chinese army unreasonably sank a Japanese warship for exercise, causing a major disaster for Japan."
These losses are all the mistakes of the Republic of China government. President, you must give us an explanation, otherwise the imperial government will regard this behavior as a declaration of war against Japan, and we will use brutal means to retaliate!"
Yuan Shikai was shocked when he received the news that the Sichuan Air Force had sunk a Japanese warship. In Yuan Shikai's impression, the Japanese Navy was extremely powerful. In the past, the Beiyang Fleet was wiped out. Today's Chinese Navy is not as good as the Beiyang Fleet. How can it threaten it?
As for the Japanese, the Yangtze River is their back garden. You can come and go when you want. Who would have expected that this amazing news would come over. Sichuan actually used air power to sink a Japanese warship...
In an instant, Lao Yuan became very interested in this new type of weapon. If airplanes were the nemesis of ships, then after a batch of Beiyang equipment, would they not have to worry about Japanese blackmail? But then Lao Yuan calmed down.
, for the time being, we are still considering how to deal with the Japanese protests.
"Mr. Minister, I think the exchange of fire on the Yangtze River is a complete misunderstanding. China and Japan are good friends and have a profound friendship. They will never go to war. I will immediately ask what happened and strive to resolve it as soon as possible!"
"President, I won't bother you any more. Our country's combined fleet has already begun to take action. Soon the iron fist of the empire will be visible in China's coastal areas!"
Hikiichi directly threw the huge bomb of the Combined Fleet. Lao Yuan was instantly dizzy and unable to resist. There were beads of sweat on his forehead. Yuan Shikai knew very well that the main warships of the Combined Fleet could not enter the Yangtze River at all. So now he would use the Combined Fleet to attack the Yangtze River.
There is no doubt that the fleet is just for him. The Japanese can't bully Qiao Yu, so they come to bully him. Isn't this going to cost him his life?
"Mr. Minister, everything can be resolved through negotiation. War is not a good solution after all. It will be a harm to the people of both countries!"
Hiki said increasingly coldly: "President, it was your country that first put aside the Sino-Japanese friendship. The Japanese government had to take strong action. Now it is not impossible to restore things. First, your country fully accepts our side."
The twenty-one points proposed, the second general, Qiao Yu, who patrolled Sichuan, will be dismissed from his post and investigated, and at the same time, Japan will be compensated for its losses. Otherwise, the problem can only be solved through war, and there is no other way!"
"Mr. Minister, your fleet is approaching Wuhan for no reason. We all know what it wants to do. Shouldn't China be allowed to resist?"
The person speaking this time was Lu Zongyu. He had been responsible for negotiating the 21st issue with Japan and had been bullied miserably by Hichi. Now he heard the news that the Japanese fleet had been sunk, not to mention how happy he was.
"Japan has the right to freedom of navigation on the Yangtze River. We are just conducting routine exercises and have absolutely no other intentions!"
Everyone knows that the Japanese fleet attacked Wuhan in order to plot against the Hanyang Iron Works, but now that Hioki has refused to admit it, Yuan Shikai and Lu Zongyu had no choice for a while, but soon the Japanese themselves gave Hioki a hard blow.
slap in the face!
Takeo Abe led the fleet to withdraw from the Wuhan River, but they only retreated about 70 kilometers. At night, all Chinese planes had withdrawn, but the Japanese in the fleet had a fierce quarrel!
