Chapter 451: Temple Street Consulate Incident

The Temple Street crisis involved both Chinese fleets!

When Siribarsky, who did not receive an answer from the Southern Overseas Chinese Fleet, did not have much hope of finding Chen Shiying, commander of the Second Beiyang Fleet, he unexpectedly got Chen Shiying's answer.

Chen Shiying promised to lend the Russian Red Army one or two ship artillery pieces in the event of an unfavorable offensive by the Russian Red Army.

With Chen Shiying's reply, the spirit of this Soviet Russian Red Army unit was greatly boosted.

On October 17, 1919, the Battle of Temple Street broke out.

The Russian Red Army launched an offensive on Temple Street in three directions. The White Guards and the Japanese army rushed to battle. The White Guards and the Japanese Army were far inferior in numbers, and they were deeply contradictory to each other, and they could not cooperate with each other in combat. Therefore, under the blows of the Russian Red Army, the White Guards were quickly defeated.

As soon as the White Guards were defeated, the Japanese army was alone, and more than 200 Japanese troops were evacuated to the Japanese consulate.

This Soviet Russian Red Army actually immediately launched an attack on the Japanese consulate. However, lacking heavy weapons, it was difficult for them to conquer the Japanese consulate.

The Russian Red Army finally thought of the promise of the Chinese to them.

Siribarsky found Chen Shiying again.

Chen Shiying readily agreed, dismantled a side gun of the "Jiang Heng" ship and a Green gun of the "Icheon" ship, and lent it to the Soviet Russian Red Army together with a batch of ammunition!

With the support of two artillery pieces, the strength of the Russian Red Army increased greatly.

Artillery bombarded the Japanese consulate, and the Japanese line was quickly crushed. Nearly 60 Japanese soldiers were killed and 130 Japanese were captured.

"Comrade Commander, we have won." Silybalsky looked very excited, and happily came to the front of the commander Babalov, constantly waving his fist: "Temple Street is already ours!" By the way, we also took more than 130 Japanese prisoners, comrade commander, what should I do with these prisoners? ”

Babalov put down the binoculars: "Ivanovich. Comrade Siribalsky, what do you think should be done? ”

Not expecting that Comrade Commander threw the problem to himself, Siribalsky glanced at the group of prisoners: "The Japanese shamelessly helped the White Army, killed our comrades, and destroyed the great Soviet Revolution. This time, he assisted the White Army in defending Temple Street, and when the defeat was assured, he hid in the Japanese consulate and resisted stubbornly, causing us a lot of casualties. Comrade commander, for the sake of those comrades who died, we should avenge them! ”

"Yes, Ivanovich . Comrade Siribalsky. Barbalov nodded: "The blood of the Reformers cannot be shed in vain!" Avenge them, avenge all the comrades who have sacrificed. Shoot them! ”

"Yes!" Siribarski excited for a salute!

The 130 Japanese soldiers did not know that their doom had come. They were gathered together and then shot en masse. None of the 130 Japanese prisoners survived.

This is known as the "Temple Street Consulate Incident", which the Japanese side calls the "Temple Street Massacre".

The Russian Red Army, which occupied Temple Street, returned two guns to the Chinese fleet and expressed their gratitude.

At this time, the First Fleet of the Southern Protector also began to act secretly.

The ship's guns were dismantled and placed on the commanding heights of the west of the temple, and a large number of sailors were used as infantry, distributing weapons, and ambushed on both sides of the west of the temple.

On the night of October 18, Zhang Xiaoyue gave an order, and the naval artillery began to shell the Soviet Russian Red Army garrison on Temple Street!

The sudden blow disrupted the ranks of the Soviet Russian Red Army in an instant, with heavy casualties.

Babalov was almost killed in this sudden shelling, he easily escaped the artillery bombardment, hid in a safe place, watched his station fall into a sea of fire, watched his soldiers flee in embarrassment under the shelling of the artillery, Babalov was at a loss, what happened?

It was easy to get caught in the morning, and the Soviet Russian Red Army, which had been killed and wounded, regrouped and launched a counterattack to the west of the temple.

The front-line commander is Yi Xin, the captain of the "Hairong"!

This commander from the navy did not show panic when he was fighting on land!

He calmly ordered the soldiers to rely on their positions to resist, and with the help of naval guns, they repelled the attacks of the Soviet Russian Red Army several times. …,

With this comrade, Zhang Xiaoyue, commander of the First Fleet of Overseas Chinese Protectors on the "Hairong", immediately telegraphed:

"On that day, the Soviet Russian Red Army, which occupied Temple Street, suddenly attacked our garrison fleet and attempted to seize our ships, and our whole fleet was forced to return fire.

The telegram was sent, and Zhang Xiaoyue stood on the deck of the ship, watching the battle on land with great interest.

"Commander." The captain of the "Haiqi" Van Olin appeared at his side: "The telegram has been sent, but to say so, it seems, it seems"

"Seems a bit of a reversal of black and white, right?" Zhang Xiaoyue held his pipe in his mouth and remained silent: "There are too many things where we have been reversed by the great powers, and it doesn't matter if we reverse black and white once in a while. It's not a big deal, we are already one of the intervention forces, and in addition to protecting overseas Chinese, it is good to strike at the enemy. War is for the sake of politics, and besides, there is no justice or injustice in this war, and the first thing is to strike at the enemy. ”

"Yes." Fan Olin nodded: "What should I do with the president?" ”

"Do you know why I dare to fight?" Zhang Xiaoyue smiled: "Because behind me and the Chinese Navy stands a great president who is not afraid of anything!" ”

As he spoke, he put down his pipe: "Order Yi Xin, beat me harder again, and don't let the Russians take a step forward!" ”

Nanjing, the Great Presidential Palace.

"Zhang Xiaoyue, who is in the dog's day, is really fighting! Dog's day, dog's day, lawlessness, lawlessness! Wang Hengyue held the telegram in his hand and cursed in his mouth, but he was smiling on his face.

These subordinates of their own are really like themselves, they dare to do anything, and they are not afraid to do anything.

Jiang Baili put a secret telegram in front of Wang Hengyue again: "This is from Zhang Xiaoyue before, about the Beiyang Fleet." ”

In fact, Wang Hengyue didn't need to look at it at all to know what the Beiyang Fleet and the commander named Chen Shiying had done.

A cursory glance: "One of the two commanders is bolder than the other. Well, very well. One helped the Russian Red Army fight the White Guards, and the other fought the Russian Red Army, how did the brains of these two people turn? ”

Jiang Baili smiled: "They did this, and now they are waiting for the president to clean up the mess." ”

Wang Hengyue also cracked his mouth and smiled: "Chen Shiying is good, and Zhang Xiaoyue is also good." Fuck, the White Army of the Soviet Russian Red Army didn't have a good thing, they all slaughtered our Chinese as fat sheep, well, since Lao Tzu's subordinates are lawless, Lao Tzu will be their umbrella this time! ”

said, a certain god: "Send electricity to Zhang Xiaoyue, as long as you say a word, you will be beaten, and you will be beaten hard!" ”

Wang Hengyue knew too well about the "Temple Street Incident", Chen Shiying lent artillery to the Soviet Russian Red Army, and as a result, after the battle on Temple Street was over for several months, it caused an uproar.

Under pressure from the Japanese, the Beijing government was forced to dismiss Chen Shiying from all his posts and ordered that he would "never be reinstated."

Chen Shiying endured hardships and was not afraid of difficulties, led the whole fleet to return home smoothly, and made outstanding achievements, and displayed an awe-inspiring integrity in the "Temple Street Incident," which won the sympathy and admiration of his colleagues in the navy. In the end, the Admiralty did not carry out the decision of the Beijing government, but asked Chen Shiying to change his name and continue to hold important positions in the army. He was also awarded the "Wenhu" medal as a sign of recognition!

As soon as Chen Shiying changed his name, he changed to a glorious China, an outstanding Chinese naval general:

Chen Jiliang!

But now, with Zhang Xiaoyue's shelling of the Russian Red Army, history has changed again. Even Zhang Xiaoyue didn't know that his own shelling of the Soviet Russian Red Army helped Wang Hengyue solve a big problem from another aspect.

"I can't even protect my own officers, so I can be regarded as a generalissimo." Wang Hengyue smiled faintly, and then said: "Chief of Staff, it seems that it won't take a few months, and when the battle is over at Temple Street, I will have to deal with the provocation of the Japanese again." ”

Jiang Baili seems to have been used to it for a long time!

Over the years, the president has confronted the Japanese head-on, and each time it seems that he is at first underdog, but in the end he can always turn things around.

He didn't seem to want the Japanese to take advantage of him at all, and he refused to back down in front of the Japanese. …,

The president is a soldier, perhaps, this is because of his soldier's blood.

Since the presidents are fearless, what are they worried about as subordinates? It's a big deal that in the end, China and Japan tore their faces and fought vigorously.

Anyway, the president has discussed Sino-Japanese relations with himself countless times in private, and believes that sooner or later there will be a big war between China.

In this case, it is the same as fighting early and late!

Wang Hengyue had the same thoughts as Jiang Baili at this time. If you have enough strength, you can't wait to start a war with the Japanese side right now.

The most regrettable thing is that, first, his strength has not yet reached the point of war with Japan, and second, his current identity is the president of the Republic of China.

As a big president, the most taboo thing is to be willful. No matter what kind of situation you encounter, you have to force yourself to calm down.

Wang Hengyue thought for a moment: "Once the Northeast issue is resolved, immediately order Zhang Zuolin to send troops, our strength in Russia is still too weak, we must strengthen the forces there and completely attack Russia!" ”

"Yes, I'll do it!"

"Also, send a telegram to Lu Yixuan, let Hai Chip and other ships speed up, and before the beginning of spring, they must join the First Fleet of the bridge protection, and then tell Zhang Xiaoyue that I will grant him the right to act arbitrarily on the front line!"

Speaking of which, I carefully explained again:

"Tell him that when the sky falls, I, the president, are here!
