Chapter 221: The Air Force of the Chinese Empire

Yuan Shikai looked at the airships and three-winged planes in the sky, these flying machines made a huge empty reputation, almost covering up the sound of artillery fire, the three-winged planes looked small, but those airships were very huge. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Each airship is painted with a huge flying dragon, as if resurrected in the sky, especially hundreds of such airships are touched together, it is even more spectacular and abnormal, today's situation is very special, in the past, the air force dispatched a maximum of dozens of airships.

But today nearly 200 airships were dispatched, and Yuan Shikai knew very well that the current Pyongyang airport, sending 200 airships was already the limit, and fuel was a huge problem.

At this time, Wang Shizhen came to the outside of the fortification, holding a telegram in his hand, and came to Yuan Shikai's side to speak; "Marshal! The Ministry of the Interior has issued orders to all yamen! ”

Yuan Shikai didn't dare to slack off, which means that the emperor already has the latest instructions, Yuan Shikai came to Wang Shizhen's Ming and said; "What is the latest instruction from the emperor?"

Wang Shizhen said; "The emperor's edict says that June 1 is International Children's Day, and it is best to end the soldiers before that! Let the father come home and spend the holidays with the children! ”

Yuan Shikai took out a cigarette again, and said while lighting it for himself; "Your Majesty, you like! The resistance of the Japanese troops on the opposite side was still very fierce, and it was impossible to end the war before June 1st! ”

Wang Shizhen said; "Marshal! Not necessarily! "And then the airships and planes in the sky constantly in the direction of Seoul!

Yuan Shikai raised his head and said; "What's the Air Force Commander's name?"

Wang Shizhen said; "Cai Wenqiang! Air Marshal! ”

Yuan Shikai said; "Another hairless mouth! It's just good fate! ”

Wang Shizhen said; "Almost all of the main forces of the air force are in North Korea, and we have begged them many times before, hoping that they can send the air force to help us bomb, but they were all rejected by Cai Wenqiang, and only sent reconnaissance planes to help us reconnoiter the ground situation at most.

Now that almost all of the Air Force has been dispatched, they must have gotten important news! ”

Yuan Shikai said; "Take over the General Staff immediately! Ask Shang Rongqian what the hell is going on? ”

Wang Shizhen nodded!

At this time, a staff officer ran in front of Yuan Shikai and Wang Shizhen and said; "Marshal! The call of the Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Shang Rongqian! ”

Yuan Shikai immediately threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, ran to the command room, picked up the phone and said; "I'm Marshal Yuan Shikai, Lao Shang! Something to say! ”

Shang Rongqian said; "Marshal! You still have to smoke less! ”

Yuan Shikai said; "I'm so good!"

Shang Rongqian said; "Japan has already sent negotiators to us, and this time Japan's crazy counteroffensive is that Japan wants to gain bargaining chips in the negotiations, so what to do now! Marshal, you should know, right? ”

Yuan Shikai said; "What? Renben is ready to surrender! ”

Shang Rongqian said; "It's hard to have a real person in Japan now, they're all crazy, especially those Japanese soldiers, these people are simply unreasonable guys, so only the members of the cabinet want peace talks in Japan now!"

Yuan Shikai said; "Then I know, no matter what Japan wants, now they can't hold it anymore, and they want it to end like this. It's not cheap, I think that's just the beginning!

I haven't had enough of it! ”

Shang Rongqian said; "The Air Force will cooperate with your attack, the telegram from the Ministry of the Interior, do you all know about it?"

Yuan Shikai said; "Does the emperor want to end the war before June 1st?"

Shang Rongqian said; "Don't worry! Your Korean theater is fully supported by the air force, the Far Eastern theater has the full cooperation of armored forces, and the Ryukyu theater has the main fleet of the Imperial Navy. ”

Yuan Shikai said; "Yes! In the Korean theater, 300,000 soldiers will definitely achieve His Majesty's wishes! ”

Shang Rongqian said; "Amida Buddha, may Allah bless you, Amen!"

Hahaha!

Yuan Shikai also burst into laughter and put down the phone!

At this time, the sound of artillery and bomb explosions outside gradually decreased. I thought that the air attack of the air force had greatly hindered the Japanese offensive on the ground, and many troops could only squat in the fortifications of the defense, and more Japanese soldiers began to flee, and I had never seen so many monsters in the air!

Yuan Shikai said; "Order the army units of the empire and the recruits of Korea, as well as the militia units of Silla! Take advantage of the air raids of the Air Force and start a full-scale counteroffensive! ”

On April 17, 1895, after seven days of fierce fighting, Zeng Greenqin's troops did not get any chance to repair at all, and were dragged onto the front not long after they were withdrawn.

Because Mentu's soldiers were too tired, some of the Japanese soldiers in front of them attacked during the day or night, on the defensive line composed of barbed wire, swords, guns and stabbing cards arranged by Mentu on the position.

These Japanese are squandering their lives infinitely, which makes Mentu feel very helpless, looking at the fallen Japanese soldiers in front of him are almost exceeding the troops commanded by Mentu, which makes Mentu, who has always been very tenacious, tremble!

The Chinese Empire's army did not encourage any religious beliefs, but the soldiers did not prohibit their own religious beliefs, which was very clearly stated in the emperor's decree. Officers are not allowed to spread their religion in the military.

So in the regular army of the Chinese Empire, all officers and soldiers do not have a unified religious belief, if there is faith, then believe in your own emperor! But the emperor has publicly stated many times that he is a man, not a god!

Looking at the dead man in front of him, like a hill lying in front of the battle line guarded by Mentu, Mentu began to believe in the Mongols, and found a shaman in the army, and the shaman began to dance the sacrificial dance behind the dangerous battle line.

In order to reincarnate the dead souls smoothly and not let them stay in the mortal world, the teacher has troubled these Chinese Empire warriors, and Mentu's practice is still very effective, and after such sacrifices, many warriors have received a trace of comfort in their hearts.

Mentu also found a lot of lamas, these lamas at night, began to chant sutras and pray, burn incense and pray, and some lamas went to the trenches to comfort the Mongolian militia who killed too many people, and then chanted for the soldiers of the Chinese Empire who died on the battlefield.

On April 18, Seng Greenqin's troops were replenished on the front line, which made the pressure on Mentu's troops a little less, Zeng Greenqin came to Mentu's headquarters, sat directly on Mentu's chair, and then very unceremoniously began to light a cigarette and smoke a whole set of familiar actions.

After taking two puffs, he said; "Well, I've seen the madness of the Japanese!"

Mentu stood in front of Monk Grinqin, and then offered a cup of tea; "When they landed in Vladivostok, they weren't like this!"

Zeng Greenqin said; "At the beginning of the war in Japan, all the regular troops combined were at most 500,000 people, but now how many of them have died in our Chinese Empire!

Don't say more, let's talk about our ammunition consumption!

The number of bullets that have passed through my entire Mobei militia column is already 2.15 million, even if 20 bullets kill a Japanese, there will be more than 100,000 Japanese who died in the hands of the Mobei militia column! ”

At this time, Mentu speaks; "My Heilongjiang column has already received more than 5.3 million rounds of ammunition, and Gadamerin's troops have also received more than 2 million rounds. In this way, more than 500,000 Japanese troops died on the battlefield in the Far East! ”

Zeng Greenqin threw away the cigarette butt and couldn't help coughing lightly twice! Then I picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of strong black tea, at this time, the favorite of the people on the grassland, drinking tea should be with a very strong tea!

And then it comes to; "Yes and no!"

Mentu said; "Why!"

Zeng Greenqin asked; "What is the casualty rate of your troops now!"

Mentu said; "You can't use the casualty rate, it's more accurate the disability rate!"

Zeng Greenqin said; "Now the military doctors who follow the army are all children, and the emperor not only sent the students of the domestic medical university to the front line, but even the students of Nanyang University did not let go!

The existence of these doctors has made many of our soldiers who would have died survive, that is, there will be many herdsmen on the grassland who are missing arms and legs in the future! ”

Mentu said; "I think our medicine is even more magical!"

Zeng Greenqin lit another cigarette, Mentu had no choice but to light one himself, and the two of them smoked together!

At this time, Zeng Greenqin said; "Where's Gadamerin!"

Mentu said; "On the positions of the battle line!"

Zeng Greenqin said; "You don't want to see me! See how long he can hide! ”

This was the originally quiet front, and once again the gunfire rang out, and the two of them glanced at their watches at the same time, the first time was 23:15, and in the middle of the night, couldn't these Japanese stop a little!

The answer is, no, if you die, you will die!

The sound of heavy machine guns and artillery fire of the Chinese Empire staged a wonderful symphony in the silent night sky. At the same time, countless flares rose in the sky, illuminating the originally dark night sky as if it were day!

I don't know, this night, the commander of Japan, Prince Akihito Komatsumiya, how much Japan will die before he dies!

While the Chinese troops along the Songyuan line were struggling to resist, armored vehicles and tanks transported from Guangzhou and Shanghai had been transported to the city of Shenyang in Mukden, and a large number of armed police and army soldiers were guarding the station.

At night at the Shenyang Railway Station, the lights were bright, and the tank soldiers and officers who had just gotten off the train were almost dizzy and swollen with swollen legs because they had been on the train for too long, and they did not dare to take off their shoes. Because once you take off your shoes, you can no longer put them on.

When they finally arrived on land, all the soldiers and officers felt as if they had been reborn, and they came to land, jumping and jumping!

But this can only be thought about, the officer is scolding loudly, immediately unloading the combat vehicles, tanks, military preparations from the train, the current train speed is sixty kilometers per hour, the train of this era is almost the limit of speed.

Therefore, the trains along the line need to run back and forth on the tracks non-stop, and after unloading, the train will reverse along the line, and when they go back, they will transport the wounded and other strategic materials.

This night lasted for more than 30 days, and it was not until April 30 that the equipment of the First Armored Division of the Chinese Empire was delivered, and this army was Zuo Zongtang's descendant troops. Under the personal command of his confidant Huyan Jingbian, the commander of the 11th Army, he secretly came to Mukden to participate in the military battle in the Far East.

On May 3, Zhang Zhidong also received a telegram from the Ministry of the Interior, and the old man was very dissatisfied with Shang Rongqian's operational strategic policy.

I think that back then, the siege of Nanjing, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Zeng Guofan's younger brother, Zeng Guoquan, took three years at that time! Now Little Japan is still very rampant, Zhang Zhidong already has a very sufficient plan in his heart, and the old man has thought about it.

Zhang Zhidong, as the marshal of the Chinese Empire, lost the country, and naturally blamed him, so the old man was staring at the Far East, and he was going to die in the Far East, and he was going to die with this little Japan! ”

Shang Rongqian said that reinforcements are coming, and reinforcements are coming! But many of them are Zhang Zhidong's descendants, and they are also militia units without the official military establishment of the empire, and there are not many really established troops in the Far East battlefield!

As for the emperor's hope to end the battle before June 1, Zhang Zhidong thought it was a joke!

Zhang Zhidong can't see the wind now, and often feels cold all over his body, so now the temperature in the north is very high during the day, but at night Zhang Zhidong still likes to stay by the stove, because he feels very warm!

Just when the old man was sleeping soundly, the voice of a staff officer came from outside, Zhang Zhidong knew that there must be a very urgent military situation, otherwise these staff officers would never dare to wake him up.

The staff officer said; "Marshal! General Huyan Jingbian's troops were already less than fifty kilometers away from Changchun City! ”

Zhang Zhidong worked hard, then straightened his back, and then said; "How many men did he bring!"

The staff officer said; "Report to the marshal, it's a division of troops!"

Zhang Zhidong said to himself; "What Zuo Shuai is talking about is a divine weapon! Is it just a division? ”

Ding Ruchang in Naha commanded the landing team and the soldiers of the navy to repel the eleventh Japanese attack, but he did not expect the Japanese to be very cunning, and after the main naval force of the empire left, the Japanese army began to attack Naha.

Fortunately, the Marine Corps is a fierce general of Liu Yongfu, and this Marine Corps division is a unit that has been fighting tough battles in the first place.

On April 27, Ding Ruchang telegraphed to the Chinese Empire's main fleet of warships that if they did not arrive by the 28th, Naha's defense line would run out of ammunition and eventually lose its entire defense line.

Ding Ruchang didn't talk about other things, but talked about; "If something happens to him, or if there is anything unsuitable for him to perform the duties of the marshal of the Huaxia Imperial Navy, Liu Buyun will take over the command of the main fleet of the Huaxia Imperial Navy!"

At this time, Liu Buchan, after receiving the telegram, was like an ant on a hot pot. This telegram was also received by Li Hongzhang in Weihaiwei, not only the navy knew about it, but also the discord between him, a four-star admiral, and Ding Ruchang, the marshal, and the entire Chinese empire knew about it.

Although Liu Buyun has always thought that he is not bad at all compared with Ding Ruchang. But if this matter really comes true at this time, and Ding Ruchang really dies in the Ryukyus, then he Liu Buyun will become a sinner for the ages.

So Liu Buyun has scolded Ding Ruchang 10,000 times in his heart, and originally planned to go to the Japanese naval base Sasebo Naval Base to walk around first, but forget it!

Therefore, Liu Buyun ordered the fleet to speed up, increase to the maximum speed, and advance towards the Ryukyu Islands with all its might, so that the supply ships and merchant ships that came with them were far behind.

On April 28, Liu Buyun's main naval fleet came to Naha Harbor and began to clean up the Japanese troops near the Ryukyus, all the Japanese troops, without the cover of warships and strong fortifications, had no way to defend their positions.

Ding Ruchang began a counteroffensive, Liu Yongfu led the army to begin a counteroffensive against the Japanese army, and Kadena commanded the Japanese army in Kadena, and Kawakami Caoroku, knew that the army of the Chinese Empire had arrived and knew that he had failed.

It's just a little bit, as long as it can capture Naha, capture Ding Ruchang alive, and the current king of the Ryukyus, he can start negotiations with the Chinese Empire, and now Japan is very clear that the people are simply unacceptable, and the possibility of bowing to the Chinese Empire is possible, because this time Japan is really too many people have died.

Japan has paid for the lives of half of the country's population, as well as the fruits of decades of reform, the accumulated wealth, and the accumulated military strength have all been taken out, and the gamble has been made.

A gambler who has lost everything, is emotional, and has lost any remaining sanity!

When Yoo Yongfu's army captured Kadena, Kawakami completed his last loyalty to the Japanese emperor, and he committed suicide by seppuku in the direction of Edo in the north. A generation of Japanese celebrities, this is the end of life.

As soon as Kawakami Caoliu died, the entire battle situation was almost settled, at this time, Prince Xichuan Gong Chihito was already alone, and the army commanded by Kawakami Caoliu was almost all the strength of the southern army, and Prince Xichuan Gong Chiren knew that his time was almost up, but he would not feel lonely, because the Kawakami Caoliu in front of him was already on the road.

The Chinese Empire, the Nanjing Imperial Government, the Upper House of the Senior Council, attended by cabinet members Tang Shaoyi, Zhao Bingjun, He Ziyuan, Tang Rongjun, Zhan Tianyou, Lu Zhengxiang, etc., relevant personnel of the government.

In the lecture seat of the Central Committee, a congressman began to complain about all kinds of shameless acts of the navy, and the most unbearable thing for the congressmen was how the harbor was not properly protected, and the Japanese army had actually landed in Tianjin, is this the strength of the imperial navy?

In the end, the congressman proposed that the command structure of the Navy must give an explanation for this mistake, and there is also a change of generals, especially the two marshals of the Navy, and the commander of the First Combined Fleet, Liu Buyun, is also responsible!

The first, second, and third people in the Navy have all been questioned by the Senior Affairs Yuan!

But because it was wartime now, all the generals who should have been questioned did not come to the Senior Minister's Yuan!

In fact, many members of the Senate are not most concerned about naval warfare, because after all, the navy has completed the most important task, and the Japanese combined naval fleet has already eliminated them.

But it is still necessary to suppress the arrogance of the navy, which has always been the tradition of the empire, because of the arrogance of the soldiers, many later tragedies are because the military exploits of these generals are too high, and there is no way to reward them, so the madness of the Senior Administration, the cabinet and the Ministry of the Interior have not intervened too much.

However, now that the Council of Ministers is in session, and all the members of the Cabinet government are present, it is for one thing, that is, the government's military calculations, and now the treasury and shares allocated in the early stage have been exhausted.

Now it is necessary to immediately increase the budget for military spending, which is very huge, and the current Ministry of the Interior is already very difficult, so it urgently convened an enlarged meeting of the Ministry of Finance in Nanjing, and immediately passed the Cabinet government's issuance of 100 million won of treasury bonds or increased tax revenues to make up for the financial and military expenditures.

Many parliamentarians are aware of the difficulties faced by the government now, but most of these parliamentarians have their own industries, which is equivalent to cutting meat on their own bodies, so many people are very reluctant.

Some legislators even pointed out that the current Ministry of the Interior still has a lot of royal assets, especially in the name of the emperor, and there is still no way to fully count industrial assets in the international community.

Now there are tens of thousands of Ah Weng serving in the royal service all over the world, and the daily capital income is astronomical, so it is better for the emperor to pay for it himself! We are all small businessmen, and we can't afford to save so much money.

All the cabinet members on the stage know that the current emperor may still have a lot of industries, but many industries are not able to be realized for a while, and there are too many places to spend money now.

Moreover, the central government must not be able to give the warlords the right to raise their own salaries, so the Emperor of Light in Beijing has been struggling to support it.

At this time, Wu Junrong said; "The government will not raise taxes on you, and the government is going to issue 80 million dragon won of government bonds, which will be pledged by the empire's treasury, so that those who buy government bonds can benefit from high interest rate differentials.

There is also to ensure absolute fairness, our government decided to raise the stamp duty, a total of 20 points, which is not high for people who make money, but also to ensure the interests of men's shoes that are not profitable enterprises, and businessmen.

And these financial benefits will be used in the country, to buy related military supplies, and when the time comes, it will still be the profits made by the merchants, so this is a very good decision, so everyone should not hesitate.

We don't have anything here, but the soldiers on the front lines are still starving, or waiting for bullets to be used! ”

All the parliamentarians began to make their own calculations, although the scale of the government's borrowing has increased again, and the solvency of the government must be questioned in the future, but the current businessmen know that this plan will definitely pass. Because such a plan has already been adopted five times.

At the time of the post-war settlement, the government of the Chinese Empire issued a total of more than 30 bonds of dragon yuan, which was only bonds, and many invisible securities were also issued.

In the Western Regions Province, he stayed by the radio almost every day, always paying attention to the news from the front line, as well as the news from the front line in the Western Regions Province. Now Tsarist Russia has a million troops on the front line of the Ural River.

Now Nicholas II's intention is very obvious, if the Chinese Empire is defeated, he will immediately send troops to carve up the Chinese Empire with Japan, and if the Chinese Empire wins, then hold on. Our two countries are still good neighbors and good partners!

At a time when the situation on the front line of the Chinese Empire was very unfavorable, Ma Wu was the most melancholy, because now the defense line in the western part of the empire was only the strength of his Royal Army Second Army, this one army.

The equipment is now advanced, the army is full, the combat effectiveness is super strong, and it is still very loyal to the emperor and the central government of the Chinese Empire, but when the defense line in the Far East is constantly being breached, even the seven stan countries supported by the Chinese Empire have reduced their contact with Ma Wu.

Ma Wu, who is not yet fifty years old, has turned gray in less than two years. Therefore, on the one hand, he deployed the limited forces on the border of the Western Regions Province and the Mobei Province, and on the other hand, he had to guard against the Xinjiang Province behind him.

The security environment in this province is still not very good, although there are now two corps of troops where to guard, but Ma Wu does not dare to be careless at any time, now the Western Regions Province, Mobei Province, as well as Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, and even Sichuan and other provinces are produced in Xinjiang.

The Western Regions and Mobei both have a vast area, and many soldiers' buttocks are really not suitable for horseback riding, because the peasants' buttocks are too small to sit still on the horse, and it will not take long to do it, so the car has become the grassland, and the main means of transportation next door is the grassland.

Hearing the news from the Ministry of the Interior, the Chinese army of the Chinese Empire sank all the combined fleets of Japan in the Yellow Sea, Ma Wu's hanging heart was finally able to let go, and after two years, he could finally sleep well.

First of all, Ma Wu ordered the staff officers to verify the news with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and at the same time asked the telegraph operators to immediately relay the news to Tsarist Russia, as well as to the seven stans. In this way, let them know that now the overall situation has been decided, don't try to doubt, everything should be back on track.

Ma Wu left the telegraph room and returned to his office, the most central part of his office was a huge portrait of the Bright Emperor, and Ma Wu knelt down on his knees.

Talked about; "Your Majesty! You didn't lie to me, we will definitely win, we really won, Ma Wu's eyes were moist, and the tears couldn't stop staying! ”

On April 30, the Nanjing government of the Chinese Empire issued the "Instrument of Persuasion to Surrender Japan" in the Imperial Chamber at a meeting with the ministers and journalists of various countries in China.

He Ziyuan made it clear at the meeting that the Chinese Empire will not weaken Japan's national strength, will not restrict the development of the Japanese people, and will not make Japan pay too heavy a price, but only hopes that Japan can put down the butcher's knife as soon as possible to benefit the well-being of the people of the two countries!

The "Letter of Persuasion to Surrender Japan" listed the negotiation requirements of the Chinese Empire, and hoped that Japan would agree to the conditions of the Chinese Empire in the spirit of caring for the people, preserving the Japanese national system, and safeguarding the survival of the Japanese nation.

On the same day, Japan said through the diplomatic envoys of Germany, Britain and other countries that they absolutely could not agree to such harsh conditions of the Chinese Empire, and that the Chinese Empire must make concessions!

On May 3, the General Staff, the Chief of the General Staff of the Army, Navy and Air Force of the Chinese Empire submitted a general counteroffensive plan to the Ministry of the Interior of the Chinese Empire, the Nanjing Cabinet, the Information Administration Yuan, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force of the Chinese Empire, Guangming the Great!

On the same day, the commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force of the Chinese Empire issued an edict; "Japan! Formerly known as the Wanu Kingdom, it received the amnesty of the Chinese Empire during the Han Dynasty, and now nearly two thousand years have passed.

History will not disappear again, history is in everyone's heart, the Chinese Empire should be loved by a little brother, the mistakes he made today, as an ancient country with 5,000 years of civilization, a big country is responsible.

The Fairy Ahuaxia Empire can't shirk its responsibilities anymore, give it the final blow, let them wake up from their unrealistic dreams quickly, and give Japan enough opportunities and help to reform, rebuild, and reintegrate into the East Asian family after the war!

Approve Marshal Shang Rongqian's plan, all armies, all marshals encourage it!

Handwritten by the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the Chinese Empire!

Chin this!

On May 4th, the army of the Chinese Empire began a formal counteroffensive, in fact, at this time, many armies were already on the way to the counteroffensive!

Especially the First Armored Division of the Chinese Empire that roamed around the border of Huyan Jingbian near the Daqing Oilfield in Heilongjiang Province!

This armored division pulled Zeng Greenqin's cavalry far behind, Zeng Greenqin's cavalry troops looked at these stickers, drove fast, the horses were frightened, and while hating Hu Yanjing, who loved to smoke, he ordered the troops to speed up and not to entangle with the Japanese infantry!

On May 9th, Zeng Greenqin saw the capital of Heilongjiang, Laha City in front of his eyes, the collapsed city wall, a rubble city, almost no intact buildings, although this city almost no longer exists, but as long as it is taken back, Zeng Greenqin feels that this war is no regrets.
