Hyakutake Gengo nodded. They sailed from the mainland. When they were about to arrive in Tianjin, they realized that Tianjin had been captured. Moreover, according to observations, there was an independent division of the navy at the Tianjin pier. Since there is no army, then their navy also
It was not suitable for a collision with the navy of the independent division, so he ordered the fleet to temporarily move north and dock at Qinhuangdao to wait for the next order. What awaited him was the order to cooperate with the Kwantung Army in combat.
"Kwantung Army?" Hyakutake Gengo squinted his eyes and looked at the sea. The sea wind was strong, the ripples were rippled, and occasionally birds flew by. It looked like a picturesque scene, "Umezu Yoshijiro? From this point of view, the empire is really
I’m so scared!”
"Your Excellency, Commander, the China Independent Division has never been defeated when it met the Empire. It is normal for the Empire to be more cautious. I heard that the air force and tanks of the Independent Division are better than those of the Empire. No, it is not that the soldiers are better, but that
The equipment, fighter planes, and tanks are much better than those of the empire." The rear admiral next to him said, "Everyone can see the situation in China, so the independent division is actually a very strange existence in the China army.
The strength is too strong.”
Hyakutake Gengo nodded. Indeed, the strength of the Independent Division is an anomaly in today's China. However, he thought of the Chongqing government and smiled, "I'm afraid the Kuomintang is unable to govern them. The Independent Division is based in Shandong, and Chongqing
The government is in Chongqing. The most important point is that the independent division does not need military pay from the Chongqing government."
"In other words, the Independent Division is actually a warlord?"
Hyakutake Gengo shook his head, "Although the independent division is powerful, their division commander at the helm does not seem to have this intention. Otherwise, it would not be a division until now."
The rear admiral nodded, "Your Excellency, Commander, what should we do if we encounter an independent division navy?"
"If it is an encounter, then whatever should be done, do whatever it takes. Will the navy of the Empire of Japan still be afraid of them?" Hyakutake Gengo snorted coldly. As an admiral of the navy, he naturally does not want to see the navy lose. Although
The last time Yamamoto Isoroku was defeated was due to an ambush, but it was enough to show that the Chinese navy was no longer the navy of the Sino-Japanese War.
"Hi!" The rear admiral was a little excited. After all, when you go on an expedition, you want to earn credit by killing the enemy. If you don't let them kill the enemy, there will be no credit. So what's the point of going on an expedition?
To be honest, even Hyakutake Gengo was actually looking forward to an encounter with the Navy of the Independent Division.
As for the navy of the independent division, after Zhou Weiguo gained 500,000 war points, he replenished a large amount of equipment for Zhang Qian's fleet and built a new fleet. However, the new fleet is still training and its combat effectiveness has not yet been formed.
It was rare for Liu Zhihui to go to the water for air. Although the submarine force was a strange force, the strange force also needed to breathe air.
"Brother, they just said that the Japs have escaped?" Liu Zhihui said loudly. When he came to find Zhou Weiguo, he happened to meet Fang Shengli and others coming back. Fang Shengli packed up his car and gave chase, but failed to catch up, which made Fang Shengli very upset.
Ashamed. And Liu Zhihui’s words made Fang Shengli blush even more.
"Okay." Zhou Weiguo patted Liu Zhihui's head, and then said to Fang Shengli, "Shengli, don't worry, don't you know what Xiaohui said?"
"I know Xiaohui didn't mean any harm, but it's true that I didn't think well enough to let the Japanese escape." Fang Shengli sighed.
"Don't say you didn't think it through well. Even I didn't think that the Japs would run away. Oh, he was already planning to build fortifications there. Who would have known that he was going to run away?" Zhou Weiguo sighed, "So it's not your fault. However, the Japs
Running away further proves the correctness of our speculation. By then, what we will face may be the Kwantung Army, the most elite force of the Japanese."
"I'm not afraid of that. We are on the defensive side, but I'm not willing to let the Japanese escape." Fang Shengli was helpless.
"Okay, it's nothing. Let's go. How about we brothers go out for a meal?" Zhou Weiguo suggested, but he knew that since Liu Zhihui ran up from the water, he must have a meal before going back.
"Ah?" This time it was Fang Shengli's turn to open his mouth and eat? The Japanese just ran away and they went to eat. Is it appropriate?
"Let's go!" Liu Zhihui's eyes lit up when he heard about the meal, so he took the lead and pushed Zhou Weiguo out.
Fang Shengli had no choice but to follow behind.
"Xiaohui, have you discovered the Japanese navy recently?" Zhou Weiguo asked Liu Zhihui on the way.
Liu Zhihui shook his head, "No, what's wrong, brother?"
Zhou Weiguo shook his head, "When you go back, be careful to see if there is a Japanese navy. We have just taken Tianjin, and the Japanese will definitely not let us be safe."
Liu Zhihui shook his head, and then looked at the street. The streets in Tianjin were still much busier than those in some small cities. What's more, Tianjin has concessions from so many countries, the culture is complex, and there are many cafes and dance halls.
Tianjin has just been taken back, and there will be a war later. Zhou Weiguo has not had time to rectify it. At least, the political officials only set out from Shandong today and were urgently transferred.
However, due to the war, there were relatively few Chinese people traveling on the streets. There were only a few stalls, and more foreigners traveled. Of course, this was also because foreigners were very curious about the independent division. As for the Japanese, their own army was
He was beaten away and now he can only hold his tail between his legs.
When Zhou Weiguo and others came out, they did not change their clothes. Similarly, they were followed by soldiers from the guard regiment. Looking at the depression on the street, Zhou Weiguo sighed. Natural disasters and military disasters are obviously a type of man-made disaster. Although Zhou Weiguo
I don't want to disturb the people, but Tianjin is still in a special period, and there are certain periods where you still need to pay attention.
Suddenly, a blond woman stood in front of the team, holding a pen and notebook, and said in blunt Chinese, "I am a reporter from The Times! My name is Alice!"
"The Times?" Zhou Weiguo frowned. It was strange to say that it had been more than 30 hours since Tianjin was captured, and there was still no response from domestic newspapers. Why did a reporter come just now, and he was a foreigner?
Needless to say, the reporters' response was a bit slow.
"Master's seat?" The guard soldier next to him naturally wanted to ask Zhou Weiguo what he meant. Zhou Weiguo nodded, and then the woman was brought to Zhou Weiguo.
"Hello." The woman greeted stiffly and looked at Zhou Weiguo, "Are you Zhou Weiguo?"
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Yes, hello."
"Oh! Hello!" The woman was obviously excited, "I have wanted to interview you for a long time! I am..."
As she spoke, the woman unconsciously used English. Zhou Weiguo heard it clearly and said it was from The Times. Then, he was a reporter from The Times in Tianjin and had wanted to come for an interview. But some people said that the war was still going on.
Before it was over, they refused to allow these reporters to interview.
