Chapter 677 Killing the enemy needs to cross the sea
"Anyone, including cowards, can start a war, but ending it requires the consent of the victor." Su Tong's Memoirs, Volume 5, Chapter 3: Tokyo Base Camp, "What carried the 59th Task Force Brigade?"
The troop transport ship was ambushed by a Chinese submarine in Naha, and all its equipment and crew were shattered." An old scream sounded in the combat hall, his voice full of shock and anger.
"Hai, yes, Your Highness." A colonel stood in front of Prince Zai Ren and bowed his head and said: "When our rescue fleet and planes arrived, we found that almost all the imperial soldiers who fell into the water were used by Chinese submarine sailors.
Killed by machine gun fire, and then attacked by a swarm of sharks who heard the news. From the 59th Task Force Brigade to the brigade commander Major General Ozawa Yukiichi, down to the 8,627 officers and soldiers, no one was spared.
.”
Prince Zai Ren, who was shocked to hear the bad news, was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Baga, I didn't expect the Chinese people to be so vicious and do such a despicable thing as shooting a drowned soldier."
"Your Highness, this is all the fault of the navy." Unlike Prince Zairen, a group of army generals led by Ban Hengzhengshiro put the blame on the navy: "If it weren't for the navy's insistence on not sending more troops,
With warships escorting us, how could all eight thousand of our army athletes sink into the sea without firing a single shot?"
Originally, it was very common for soldiers to die in battle, especially in Japan, a country that has been brainwashed by the spirit of Bushido. Although the death of officers and soldiers of a brigade in battle is not a small matter, it will not cause the army generals in the base camp to arouse
They had such a huge backlash. But the problem is that dying in the battlefield is not the same thing as a brigade being drowned in the sea without firing a single shot. Moreover, this brigade was specially selected by the base camp.
Major General Yukiichi Ozawa, the elite brigade commander, is a rare defense expert in the Japanese Army. How can Ban Heng and other generals not feel distressed if they are all fed to the sharks at once? Besides, this time they are escorting the 59th Brigade.
The Taiwan Navy only sent a destroyer of more than a thousand tons to escort. This clearly ignored the safety of the army officers. The anger that had been suppressed in the hearts of the army generals exploded.
Itataheng Seishiro's mood became more and more agitated, and he suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "This matter cannot be let go like this. I want to go in front of His Majesty the Emperor to demand justice for the eight thousand soldiers of our Fifty-ninth Brigade who died."
, we must not let them die in vain."
After saying that, Banheng Seishiro was about to walk outside, but was stopped by Prince Zairen, "Stop, what are you trying to do now? Do you still want to provoke a dispute between the navy and the army?"
Banheng Seishiro was anxious and said quickly: "But, Your Highness, if we don't seek justice for Mr. Ozawa and the soldiers of the 59th Brigade, their souls will definitely not be at peace."
"Baga" Prince Zairen, who was so angry that he stood up with his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and slapped Itahashi Seishiro ninety-one times, "Now that our operation to occupy Nanyang has just begun, you are about to file a complaint in front of His Majesty the Emperor. Do you still want to
Are two more Army troop carriers going to be sunk?"
Prince Zain's words were like a bucket of cold water poured down, pouring down a group of army generals. Yes, if he brought it to the emperor, it would mean that he would completely fall out with the navy. Without the dedicated help of the navy, the plan
The plan to advance southward for several years is about to be shelved.
"Then what are we going to do?" Itahashi Seishiro let go of the command knife he was holding tightly in his hand and lowered his head.
"Humph, I believe this matter was definitely not intentional by the Navy. Their troops are indeed relatively tight, and the Ryukyu Islands belong to our inland sea after all, so it is the Navy's carelessness." Prince Zai Ren sighed and continued: "
I believe they will learn a lesson in the future.”
Prince Zain was right. After receiving the news, the navy was shocked. More than 8,000 army soldiers were sent to the bottom of the sea to feed fish. This was a big event. Not everyone can shoulder this responsibility. After receiving the news,
After hearing the news, Yamamoto Isoroku immediately dispatched more than ten destroyers from the combined fleet traveling in the Pacific to go to the Ryukyu Islands for escort to calm the anger of the army.
While everyone in Japan was arguing over the issue of more than 8,000 Japanese troops sinking into the sea to feed sharks, the submarine No. 223 commanded by Liu Jiaming had returned to the naval base in Dalian. When Q233 entered the port, what appeared in front of them was
A welcome ceremony that left them stunned.
Two patrol boats sailed ahead to clear the way for them in the military port. The gongs and drums on the pier were noisy, and the majestic gongs and drums were beating loudly. Commander Shen Honglie of the East China Sea Fleet led more than a dozen naval officers to greet them on the pier.
Behind him were dozens of graceful female navy soldiers. Such a grand welcome ceremony shocked Liu Jiaming and dozens of submariners who walked out of the cabin speechless. Liu Jiaming had already sent the results of the battle back to the base the day before yesterday.
I knew that I would never be able to get away with my contribution, but I didn't expect that the base would hold such a grand welcome ceremony.
"Sir, hurry up and get people in line." Lin Xiang, who was standing behind, poked Liu Jiaming's waist with his hand.
"Oh oh" Liu Jiaming came back to his senses and quickly ordered everyone to line up on the pier. Soon Shen Honglie raised his hands in a military salute and walked from the front to the end of the row. Finally, he came to Liu Jiaming and said in his loud voice: "Lin
Captain, you are all great. I am proud and proud that our East China Sea Fleet can produce such a heroic submarine. The achievements of the officers and soldiers of No. 223 submarine will always be engraved in the history of the Chinese Navy."
Liu Jiaming said solemnly: "Thank you for the compliment, sir. This is the credit of all officers and soldiers. I dare not take credit for my humble position."
"Okay" Shen Honglie said happily: "Take credit without being proud. Captain Liu is worthy of being the backbone of our navy." After Shen Honglie finished speaking, he took out a document from his pocket and looked around the officers and soldiers of the ship with bright eyes.
Said: "All officers and soldiers of the 233rd boat, this is the commendation order just sent by the Naval Command today. Commander Chen specially signed the order to give you a collective second-class merit. I hope you will continue to work hard and create new achievements."
After speaking, Shen Honglie solemnly handed the commendation order to Liu Jiaming's hand.
"Thank you for your cultivation, sir." Liu Jiaming took the commendation order with both hands and raised it over his head to all the officers and soldiers.
"Are the airborne troops ready?" Su Tong was still a little worried and asked like a nagging old woman.
Jiang Baili said angrily and funny: "Don't worry, Jianming. Zhang Lingfu has promised me that his two airborne divisions will land at the scheduled location on time and will never embarrass our Chinese National Defense Force."
"Aren't I worried?" Chief Su smiled brightly, "Do you want to call me again and ask?"
"You, I think your concern leads to chaos. As the highest-level leaders, it is better not to interfere too much with the frontline command. Didn't you say before that as a higher-level organization, you should not interfere too much with the frontline commander?
decision?"
After listening to Jiang Baili's words, Su Tong had no choice but to return to his position.
Zhou Mingsheng walks barefoot on the beach, with a small basket made of bamboo on his back. Every evening after returning home from school, he puts his schoolbag away and goes to the beach to pick clams. Zhou Mingsheng’s family background is similar to that of many on the beach.
Fishermen are also facing difficulties. Originally, their families have been fishermen for generations, but in recent years, the Japanese have banned Taiwanese fishermen from going out to sea to fish. Countless fishermen have had to put down their fishing nets and pick up hoes. But as the old saying goes
, relying on mountains and rivers to eat, it is really difficult for fishermen to pick up hoes and beg for food from the land. Many families do not have enough to eat, so under the threat of hunger, they have to go fishing secretly. Many people are imprisoned for this.
Japanese patrol boats were sunk with machine guns and naval guns. In just three years, no less than a hundred fishing boats were sunk by the Japanese.
In desperation, many teenagers like Zhou Mingsheng had to secretly catch clams on the beach during the evening tide to supplement their family's dining table. But even so, the Japanese still refused, and the Japanese patrols always used bayonets and rifles from time to time.
Gun butts came to drive them away. Clams, which were originally a delicacy on the table in later generations, were now a dish full of blood and tears.
"These Japanese bastards, you won't last long. When our army arrives, you will all be shot." Hiding behind a rock, Zhou Mingsheng secretly watched a group carrying Type 38 rifles walking across the beach.
Japanese patrol team, secretly cursed with hatred in his heart. Although he spoke Japanese in school and studied Japanese, under the warning of his parents at home, he always remembered that he was an upright Chinese.
, only the continent to the north is my motherland.
"The feud of the country will never be forgotten. To kill the enemy, you need to cross the sea. I swear to drink wine in Tokyo and not kill the Japanese invaders. I swear not to pay back." Zhou Mingsheng softly recited this poem that he secretly heard from others, and tightened his fingernails.
Buttoning it into the palm of his hand, a surge of anger surged in his heart.
The Taiwan Governor-General's Palace located in Taipei City was the highest governing body during the Japanese rule of Taiwan, and its building scale was also the largest. At the beginning after Japan invaded Taiwan, the temporary Governor-General's Palace was located in Si Yamen, the chief envoy in the late Qing Dynasty, until the fifth term
It was only after Governor Sakuma Zuo took office that the plan to build a permanent government building was made. At that time, there were already ancestral halls with the surname Chen and Lin at the selected address in the city. In order to build the Governor's Palace, Sakuma Zuo ordered that the two ancestral halls be built separately.
Qian. The Japanese chose this core area of the city and opened the gate of the Governor's Mansion to the east, which meant to promote the rising sun in the east.
The current Governor of Taiwan, Kiyoshi Hasegawa, looked at the young man standing upright in front of him and nodded with satisfaction: "Warrant Officer Taro Nakamura, I heard that you are a top student who graduated from the University of Tokyo."
"Hai, I just graduated from the University of Tokyo." Nakamura Taro looked at the fifty-year-old man in front of him and felt uneasy. He never thought that he who was supposed to be a supplementary member of the Taiwan Guard would be called.
Questions from the Governor's Palace.
Looking at the nervous expression of the young man in front of him, Hasegawa nodded slightly: "You must be wondering why I called you here."
"Hai, the humble position is really strange." Nakamura Taro did not hide his thoughts, "Logically speaking, the humble position is just an insignificant recruit, how can I ask you to take personal care of me."
Taro Nakamura smiled and said: "Actually, what you don't know is that before you arrived, someone had already sent a telegram asking me to take good care of you. I came here specifically today to see if my old friend could specifically plead with me.
What are young people really like?"
"Ah, is that so?"
"It seems that you also understand that the person who entrusted me to take care of you is my old classmate Ichiken Sakai. You should understand now," Hasegawa Kiyoshi's attitude was very kind.
"It turns out it was Sakai Kurayi who begged his father to do it." Now Nakamura Taro finally understood why he was awarded the rank of warrant officer as soon as he joined the army. It turned out to be the result of Sakai Kurayi begging his father to move around.
"Okay, it seems you have understood." Kiyoshi Hasegawa nodded, "That old ghost Sakai never asks for help easily. Now that he has spoken to me, I can't refute his face. Now I will give you two
The choice is, one is to be a logistics officer here with me, the other is to go to the garrison, what do you think?"
Nakamura Taro's mind went through countless circles in an instant. After a while, he bowed and replied: "I'm new to this humble position and I'm not suitable to stay with you. You'd better let me go to the garrison."
Nakamura Taro thought very clearly in his mind that the Chinese attack on Taiwan was about to begin. Hasegawa Kiyoshi, the Governor-General's Mansion, was the biggest target and would soon become the target of public criticism. It was nominally dangerous for him to join the garrison, but in fact it was more dangerous.
Safety, after all, when the security team goes to the battlefield, it will already prove the danger of the situation, and I can also be prepared to survive during the buffer time of the security team.
