Chapter 398: Temple Street Storm

The Red Army of Soviet Russia came by four.

In the novel "Romance of the Gods", the four are not like Jiang Ziya's mount. Its appearance is very special, the horns are like a deer, the face is like a horse, the hooves are like a cow, and the tail is like a donkey, but the overall appearance is like a deer and not a deer, like a horse and not a horse, like a cow and not a cow, like a donkey and not a donkey, so people call it "four dislikes".

Could it be that the Red Army is all Jiang Ziya? This is not a wild history, but the original words in Chen Shiying's official report to the government: "In the past few days, the Red Army has come from the north, and they are all riding four different beasts..."

Later research proved that this account should be correct. A book describing the life of Oroqen hunters in the early 80s shows that the local Oroqen people used elk as a means of transportation to transport goods, carry people and produce antler velvet. The elk is the legend of the four things in the ancient books, and the elk should be more practical than the horse in the ice and snow.

But the four are not like this plaything, the author still can't imagine, first, this thing is a national special protected animal, and second, even if this thing can be ridden, the Soviets are all big... However, it seems that the Red Army of Soviet Russia was also quite simple at this time, and it was not as grand as it was later, which on the other hand illustrates the dilemma in Soviet Russia.

The arrival of the Red Army greatly angered the Japanese army, which was trying to occupy Siberia for a long time, and armed conflicts with the Red Army broke out continuously. In October of that year, the Soviet Red Army counterattacked Temple Street, and the White Russian army was crushed and fled eastward, even ignoring their masters, the Japanese soldiers.

Temple Street (known as Nikolaevsk in Russian) is the estuary of the Heilongjiang River, and its geographical location is very important. Originally, Japan had a brigade of more than 1,000 people, four naval destroyers, and the cruiser "Chiyoda" patrolling nearby. Later, however, because the situation was "settled," they withdrew their main forces to the country, leaving only more than 300 people, plus 400 people from the naval communications corps and Japanese soldiers in the countryside.

Under the attack of the superior Soviet Russian Red Army, they retreated to the Japanese consulate and resisted the danger with strong fortifications. As long as they survive this most imminent period, their reinforcements will soon arrive.

But the Red Army was on the offensive and the situation was no longer good for them.

Therefore, the Japanese instructed the White Russian army to try to get in touch with the Chinese navy. Although the Chinese navy is weaker, it can go on a rampage in inland rivers because it is equipped with artillery and can maneuver. For example, the "Jiang Heng", which is the flagship, has 1 Armstrong 120mm gun, 2 75mm guns, 4 47mm machine guns, and 4 Makqin machine guns, which are no less powerful than the firepower of a battalion.

At that time, the Chinese navy was all the direct descendants of the Fujian and Beiyang fleets, so the enmity of the First Sino-Japanese War was unforgettable, especially Chen Shiying.

Originally, he was only ordered to go abroad, firstly, to swear an oath, and secondly, to help the overseas Chinese, and he was happy to see the Japanese soldiers being abused. So when the domineering White Army officer came to his residence, he was immediately met with a roll of his eyes.

"Our army has been attacked by the Red Army, and your army is within the territory of our army, so you should send 4 warships to assist our army in intercepting the Red Army." This man is very tough-spoken.

According to the superficial reasoning, the Chinese navy is part of the "Far East Intervention Force" and has the obligation to assist the Russians in the war against the Red Army. But now it is the Russians who are begging for help, and it is no longer the Russo-Japanese War in history, and it is still impossible to distinguish the situation, that is, the old Maozi is too arrogant.

Chen Shiying looked at this fierce White Russian leader, and felt unhappy in his heart, he told him without thinking: "We are guest soldiers, and the ships are all sailors, and they are not familiar with land warfare. ”

One sentence sent the other party away. The White Russian military officer had no choice but to leave in a huff.

What followed was the unilateral abuse of the Japanese soldiers who were alone in the consulate. However, although the Soviet side was outnumbered, it was mainly a partisan force, and due to the lack of heavy artillery, it was impossible to defeat the recalcitrant anti-Japanese troops hiding in the Japanese consulate.

At this time, because the Middle Eastern Railway and the Mokowei territory were handled very smoothly, Soviet Russia and the Feng Department talked to each other, and also detected China's actual attitude. In fact, the Chinese intervention forces did not fight a single battle against the Red Army, and the garrison and the Russian locals were always on good terms.

In accordance with the principle that the enemy's enemy is a friend, he asked Captain Chen Shiying, who was in charge of the command of the fleet at that time, to borrow naval guns.

This is no small matter. According to international law, when a country sends arms to one of the two countries that are fighting each other, the essence of which is to enter the war in disguise. Once the matter is exposed, this is no different from an undeclared war.

Chen Shiying knew very well, he convened the captains of several warships to discuss, and finally decided to unload a 75mm gun, a Green gun on the "Icheon" ship, and cannonball 21 from the largest "Jiang Heng" and send them to the Soviet Russian army.

The reason for this was that the "Jiang Heng" was made in Japan and was originally equipped with only one Armstrong 75mm gun, but the Yangtze River Fleet added one more in order to increase its firepower. Therefore, theoretically, once an accident occurs, as long as the Beishang Fleet flatly denies it, the Japanese cannot accuse the Chinese military of financing the enemy's behavior.

The "Icheon" ship is an armed tugboat, and the Green gun is also configured by China itself, so as long as the relevant records are erased, no one has any evidence that it is Chinese. For the sake of safety, Chen Shiying also ordered the ship's crew to renovate the "Jiangheng" and "Icheon" ships, rearrange the cannons on the two ships, and reorganize the ammunition inventory list for future reference.

With these weapons, the Russian Red Army was like a tiger with wings, and only three artillery pieces bombarded the door of the Japanese consulate, killing dozens of Japanese soldiers and capturing more than 130 people. At this time, the city of Temple Street was full of Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to not die, and a few fled to the Chinese fleet to ask for refuge.

This hit Chen Shiying's arms, and he ordered them to be disarmed, tied up and thrown into the ice kiln to freeze to death.

Some people say that this Chen Shiying has something wrong with his brain, and there are many tricks to deal with devils, why use such an unsafe method?! The main thing is that I don't understand why I don't just kill him, freeze to death, how long will it take? Don't you know how many dreams you have at night?

It is the southerners who dare to speak, and they don't know how to use the cold method of the ice cellar in the northeast, where they can catch rats with a shovel and dip their tongues. The Japanese soldiers look good in physique, and they can carry the freeze---- but they can't carry this freezing method, and it is estimated that it will become a popsicle in an hour.

They thought that people did not know ghosts, but a wise man must have a thousand thoughts, and a Japanese soldier Cao who was frozen to death by the Chinese army left a text before freezing to death, which was discovered by the follow-up troops of the Japanese army, and a conflict broke out between China and Japan.

When the ice gradually melted, the shadow of Japanese warships appeared on the river, which was the reinforcement sent by Japan to retaliate, with a total of more than 20 warships. At the same time, Belarusian shallow gunboats also went down the river from the upper reaches of the river, and together they fired at the Chinese ships in demonstration.

Not long after, the Japanese side sent several naval officers to the "Jiang Heng" ship, on the one hand, to condemn the Chinese Navy for borrowing naval guns to the Soviet Red Army guerrillas and to assist them in fighting Japan; On the one hand, it is to gather evidence for this matter.

Of course, in the end they got nothing, but the Japanese were fully convinced that the Chinese fleet had done something in it. The Japanese threatened to wait another week and if no evidence could be found, they would sink all 4 ships of the Chinese Navy, leaving not a single Chinese. As soon as these words came out, Japan sent people to monitor the four ships.

On the one hand, Chen refused to admit ---- death, of course he couldn't admit it, and if he admitted that he was dead, he didn't admit that there was still a glimmer of life. In order to deal with the unforeseeable, he ordered all ships to prepare the water gate at the bottom of the ship, and once the Japanese opened fire, the water gate would be opened, so that the ship would be sunk; On the one hand, he warned the officers and men of all ships to hold the belief that they would never regret their deaths, lit fires in Heilongjiang, and confronted the guns of the Japanese fleet without showing weakness.

Seeing that the Chinese fleet was well prepared, the Japanese did not dare to act rashly, and turned to the means of siege to blockade the mouth of the river.

The siege lasted for half a year. Chen Bu was cut off from food and ammunition, and he belonged to southerners, and it was extremely inconvenient to live in the northern sea area. However, for the sake of the country, they all risked their lives to persevere, waited for the battle, scrubbed the shells on the deck every day, so as not to show weakness, and the local overseas Chinese also tried every means to help the motherland's army. The Japanese army did not dare to do anything in the end, and there was nothing to be done.

The Japanese have always bullied the weak and feared the hard, and now they understand why "918" was wrong, right?

The "Temple Street Incident" thus evolved into a dispute between China and Japan.

A few days later, the Japanese government lodged representations with the Chinese government over the "Temple Street Incident." The angry and depraved Japanese government put forward four unreasonable demands: the minister in Japan should apologize to the Japanese government; The Chinese Navy stationed at Temple Street apologized to the Japanese commander-in-chief; severely punish the Chinese responsible for the matter; A certain amount of pension was paid to the family of the deceased Japanese Navy.

Zhang Hanqing knew that in the official history, the weak and incompetent Beijing government actually succumbed to Japan's coercion, agreed to all these conditions, and dismissed Chen Shiying, the captain of the "Jiang Heng" ship.

By this time, he had returned to Shenyang.

600 tons of gold in Mongolia is obviously not a matter, he risked being turned against the Soviet Union and Japan---- this risk is far greater than Chen Shiying killed a few Japanese soldiers and prepared for several years to get his hands on it, of course, he was doubly careful. In addition, the economic construction of Northeast China is in urgent need of funds, which is an unimaginably large wealth.

At least Zhang Zuolin, Wang Yongjiang, Liu Shangqing and other Feng cores were shocked for a long time by this huge amount of money that fell from the sky, and then they were ecstatic.

In the Northeast New Deal, the autonomous government has invested almost all its savings over the years. While output is expected to be staggering in a few years' time, the current days are undoubtedly quite tight. Even so, the annual financial income of the three eastern provinces is only 150 million, and now, as soon as the young marshal makes a move, it is 5.4 billion oceans!

In order not to attract attention as much as possible, several veterans of the financial world decided to take small steps and spend their rich days, first looking for a few major investment projects and then making proper use of this huge amount of money.

Zhang Hanqing believes that if we focus on the long-term interests of the country and even the nation, the real economy, especially the heavy and chemical industries and the technology industry, should be at the core of the economic strategy. In particular, in an agricultural country like China, which has traditionally been dominated by agriculture, the development of heavy industry needs to make up lessons by leaps and bounds to put an end to the situation in which China has "wealth but no job, industry but no power, light but no heavy, and gold but no steel."

Since many of the planned projects were located in the hinterland of Yoshihei, where the Japanese Kwantung Army was still unreachable, it was necessary to cut off the Japanese infiltration from the roots. After the Temple Street incident, the Japanese government repeatedly clamored that if it could not satisfy him, it would march into Heilongjiang, and at this time Zhang Hanqing was not in the mood to start his construction plan.

Proper handling of the Temple Street incident has become a must.
