Chapter 95 Accident Occurs
The artillery fire lasted for ten minutes, and the lush and outlying island was filled with smoke of gunpowder. The buildings on the island turned into ashes, and countless people were killed and injured.
"Yaxi!"
Hatoyama was very satisfied with his victory, "Prepare to land on the island!"
"Hi!"
As the order was issued, six small landing craft were quickly placed on both sides of the hull, carrying thirty people, and launched an attack on the offshore island.
"Covering fire!"
"Hi!"
This medium-sized cruiser, the Daimaru medium-sized cruiser, had 800 soldiers. According to the plan, Xiaowu and others allowed the Japanese army to land on the island. There were soldiers hiding on both sides of the mountain to annihilate it! They were responsible for intercepting the second batch.
The pier had long turned into debris and floated on the beach. The Japanese army successfully landed on the island, and the companies lying on both sides of the mountain could not wait. "Brothers! The Japanese killed our people, destroyed my homeland, and beat me hard!"
Swish~
The grenade bomb was pulled out, and white smoke was thrown into the pile of Japanese people searching at the foot of the mountain.
boom!
The explosion effect produced by more than one hundred grenades may be no less than that of a shell.
"Ah~" Screams came one after another. Half of the 180 Japanese who landed on the island were killed on the spot. The remaining ones fled in a panic, but they heard: "Beat!"
Da da da da da~
It would be too arrogant to just 800 people who wanted to land on the island! They were condescending and beating the Japanese so hard that they cried and called for their parents, fled desperately, and wanted to return to the landing craft. How many lucky people were left behind?
"Baga!"
When Hatoyama saw the soldiers who fled back in a panic, he angrily scolded him. He didn't expect that there were still soldiers on the island who were alive, and his combat effectiveness was so strong that he defeated the outstanding soldiers of the Empire.
He said angrily: "The carrier-based aircraft will take off and destroy the bandits on the mountain for me! The artillery fire aimed at the mountains on both sides, and the Chinese people who dared to fight against the empire!"
"Hi!"
Another round of bombing was that although soldiers had already built trenches, it was inevitable that they would be bombed under dense firepower.
"Rat!"
"Fat man!"
The artillery fire broke out, and the soldiers fell one by one, "Damn! My god! Your ancestor!" A round of bombing caused heavy casualties and injuries to the soldiers. The traction machine dropped bombs from time to time, and at the same time guided the naval gun position. There was no anti-aircraft gun, and even if the pistol hit, it would have no effect.
“Hahaha~”
"Go to the island for me and catch these ignorant Chinese people!" Hatoyama stood on the deck and shouted wildly.
"Hi!"
The two hundred Japanese who landed on the island this time were careful enough. The two patrol boats opened fire at them a hundred meters apart. Without shells, they could only use double-row machine guns. The chance of hitting was limited, but they were also restrained. The Japanese were lying on the ship to counterattack, and the two sides fought back and forth.
"Baga!"
"Order the carrier-based aircraft to bomb two broken ships, I want them to die! Let them die!" Hatoyama roared at the messenger.
"Hi!"
The only hundreds of Japanese soldiers left on the deck were all on the offshore islands. A figure appeared from the water. He took off the rope and shook the hook. He threw it to the fifteen-meter-high guardrail with all his strength.
Talk~
The slight sound did not attract attention in the artillery fire. After waiting for a while, he pulled the rope and started climbing. It is hard to imagine how wide and majestic the 100-meter cruiser was. Chu Wenhao carefully hid it after climbing onto the deck. He was now at the stern of the boat, in the safest position.
Since he got on the boat, a fearless killing was inevitable, and the time when the feast ended depends on him.
......
"Sir, the reconnaissance plane sent back the news that the diameter of the north side of the island was 3,000 meters turned into scorched earth, and countless Chinese people on the island were killed and injured. The neck on the south side was not spared. A medium-sized cruiser fired fifty shells in a row. The place where they lived had long been destroyed in the shells."
Luo Junqiang suddenly lost the taste of the coffee in his hand. He heard the soldiers' report and looked at Takeo Imai who was obviously unaware of it. "Mr. Imai, I think the effect that the Japanese side has achieved, and over-completed the task, destroying the meeting place of various countries, may be unexpectedly happy. It is said that dozens of countries will issue international statements tomorrow to condemn the unscrupulous behavior of the Japanese side." He was angry, and at the same time a little gloating and angry, "I ask the Japanese warships to leave the Xiangjiang River immediately! Compensate for all the consequences and report to apologize!"
Takeo Imai looked calm and cursed the Imperial Navy in his heart. He was crazy about being idiot and unscrupulous! However, he would not admit it even if he was wrong. He tasted the coffee elegantly and said slowly: "Why should Governor Luo be compassionate? The dead are all Chinese people, as if there is no British citizen. The offshore jungle curtains have not been developed for a long time. The Empire just helped baptize and will return to its original appearance in a few years. I will notify the warships to leave the Xiangjiang waters immediately. As for the so-called compensation and apology, the Japanese Empire does not feel any mistakes. As for the destruction of the talks between various countries, it should be an accident. I believe there will be no casualties. All countries must understand the empire's attitude and will not continue to make peace with the Kuomintang."
He got up and went to the desk, picked up the phone and called out, and whispered a few words. His face was so gloomy that things were not as easy as he said.
As if nothing happened, he returned to the sofa, "Governor Luo, I am very sorry, I have delayed your meal time. The Imperial Navy has received an order and set sail for Guangzhou ten minutes before. The Akagi aircraft carrier has also completed its cruise mission and set off to return to Taiwan. Today's incident has ended here. The Japanese side will not continue to target the offshore islands, but Governor Luo must take it back as soon as possible. No one wants such a thing to happen again."
Before Luo Junqiang could speak, the subordinate in a military uniform next to him expressed his expression: "I'm sorry, Mr. Imai, the Japanese attacked the medium-sized cruiser on the south side of the island, and had already lowered the Japanese military flag and replaced it with the National Party military flag. It may not be so easy to leave."
"Baga!"
Takeo Imai was furious and glared at the soldier: "What are you talking nonsense!"
Luo Junqiang also widened his eyes and looked at his subordinates in surprise waiting for him to explain. The soldier took out a stack of photos from the folder and handed them to Luo Junqiang. "From the photos taken by the reconnaissance plane, the three hundred Japanese soldiers kneeling on the Damaru, holding their heads in their hands, waiting for the trial of fate."
How could Takeo Imai believe such panicked remarks? He rudely snatched photos and flipped through them one by one. There were pictures of Japanese bombarding off the island, sinking destroyers, and the scene of soldiers landing on the island and annihilated. There was also a ghost boarding a warship.
The ghost's back was blurry, but it appeared in every corner of the deck, killing the soldiers and pushing them into the sea. One by one, one by one, was the evidence of his crime!
"Baga!Baga~" quickly flipped through the photos and finally frozen them on the photo of Hatoyama kneeling on the ground with blood on his head.
"Baga!"
Although Imai was surprised how a cruiser was occupied, he was even more angry that the soldiers had no dignity of imperial soldiers and actually knelt down and begged for mercy!
"Governor Luo, I ask your side to arrest the bandits who seized the imperial soldiers immediately and submit them to the imperial trial!"
“Haha~”
Luo Junqiang was transparent all over and suddenly felt very happy. He picked up the photos thrown on the table to appreciate them, and nodded, "The shooting equipment carried on the British Empire reconnaissance plane needs to be improved, but I can't see who is so brave. It's a pity." Glaucous, but that's the case.
"Yes, I will change the HD camera as soon as possible after I go back."
Baga!
"Governor Luo..."
Luo Junqiang threw down the photo and raised his legs and replied: "It's a pity that Mr. Imai, the offshore islands still belong to Chu Wenhao in principle. The Japanese side has innocently provoked war. As the chief executive of the offshore islands, Chu Wenhao has the right to decide how to execute the invading enemy. The British Empire has no right to ask for anything from it. As Mr. Imai said just now, the empire will not participate in this matter."
"snort!"
"Since that's the case, the Imperial warship will immediately return to the offshore island to rescue the detained soldiers. Governor Luo should have no objection!"
Luo Junqiang's face suddenly became cold and he gave the soldiers serious instructions: "Order, the entire Imperial Navy will be dispatched to inspect the Xiangjiang waters. Any country will step in before approval will be listed as an innocent provocation. Without warning, you can directly open fire to repel the coming enemy! All the Imperial Air Force members are on standby and cooperate to annihilate the coming enemy at any time!"
"yes!"
"You~"
Takeo Imai was furious. Unexpectedly, Luo Junqiang did not hesitate to go against the empire. He suppressed his anger and calmed himself down. He secretly cursed Tanaka Kura, a waste in his heart, and the face of the Japanese Imperial Army was thrown away!
He pondered: "Governor Luo, the soldiers were detained, and the Empire will never ignore them. If the British side wants to stand up for Chu Wenhao, the Empire will consider abolishing the Shanghai Concession. Isn't this what Governor Luo wants to see?"
"Mr. Imai, I hope you can figure it out that today is the innocent Japanese side provoking the empire, so should we continue! The British Empire stands tall among the world's powerful countries, relying on words, but absolute strength! If the Japanese side continues to provoke the British Empire, I think the aircraft carrier of the British Empire will soon appear in the South China Sea. Maybe Mr. Imai should see the strength of the imperial navy!"
Baga!
Imai was angry, but could only restrain himself. The Japanese Navy was indeed very awesome, but compared to the British Navy's industrial foundation, it was not a little worse.
He knew many British military secrets. Currently, there are about 100,000 single aircraft, equivalent to the sum of Germany and Japan. Among them, four heavy bombers are as high as more than 10,000. There are only 23 aircraft carriers, only eight Japanese ships, and thousands of warships, four times that of Japan. 100,000 artillery pieces are ten times that of Japan. Even if the British do not pay the least attention to tanks and self-propelled artillery, they have produced 20,000 vehicles. The British air force has reached one million, which is beyond the reach of the Japanese army.
Why did the Empire dare not occupy Xiangjiang? This is why it really angered the British side, and the Empire fell into a desperate situation in an instant.
Frequent testing is also about stirring up the world situation. As long as the war between Germany and the British has reached a fierce point and has no time to take into account the interests of Asia, it is the best time to send troops to Xiangjiang. I dare not yet.
He let out a breath of turbid air and said with a gentle attitude: "It is indeed inappropriate for the Imperial soldiers to bomb the south side of the island without permission. I will report this to the base camp and will definitely punish you severely! Please ask Governor Luo to coordinate with Chu Wenhao to release the Imperial soldiers as soon as possible. The Empire can respect the British side and will not easily compromise when facing China alone. I ask the National Party to unilaterally make compensation, apologize for this incident, and give long lives to the soldiers who died, and in return the Empire will make concessions in Shanghai."
Chapter completed!
