Southwest of Jinan City, Qinglong Mountain Highland. The most updated super-fast text

Li Zongren strode into a shelter built of civil engineering, which was located on the top of Qinglong Mountain, only more than 3,000 meters away from the main position of Liuli Mountain, which was held by the Japanese army on the opposite side.

There were already many high-ranking officers waiting in the shelter department. Seeing Li Zongren coming, they all stood up and saluted. Huang Xuchu, commander of the 4th Division, Xia Wei, commander of the 5th Division, and Feng Wei, German adviser. Lieutenant Colonel Kluger, as well as a number of advisers, were waiting for the order to initiate an attack.

Today's weather is sunny again, and as the sun gradually rises, the little mist that originally floated on the battlefield has completely dissipated.

In this era, there is no such thing as all-weather aircraft, satellite guidance, laser guidance, or anything like that, even in science fiction. Killing people with airplanes all depends on the pilot's eyes, and it is possible to blow them up only if they can see it. Of course, sometimes the infantry on the ground were required to use signal flares and colored smoke grenades to indicate the purpose of the pilots, and even had the infantry wear white shirts and lie on the flat ground behind the position to form eye-catching arrows, but this kind of comical guide was quite effective.

However, no matter what type of system is used, good visibility is always the foundation, and the airplanes of this era are really a bit of a matter of watching the sky and eating. If it rains heavily today, the attack will probably be delayed...... At present, it seems that the Kuomintang army will no longer fight a war without air supremacy

At 6:25, there was a faint buzzing roar on the quiet battlefield, and Li Zongren raised his binoculars to look at the southern sky. The 41 A-1 dive bombers that came into sight were A-1 dive bombers called "Lei Gong" by the Kuomintang infantry officers and men. The present war no longer seems to need the genius minds of military strategists, but is nothing more than a machine built on the precise calculations of the personnel of the modern industrial and advisory departments. Those aircraft cannons are the parts and components of the machine, the consultants are engineers, the soldiers are workers, and the commanders at all levels are foremen, workshop directors, and factory directors. And he, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, is a general manager who has nothing to do all day, and the people below will take care of everything, and then send a battle plan that he doesn't understand to him for him to sign. This former enemy commander-in-chief seems to be able to do it as long as he can write his own name......

……

At the same time.

In the living room of Luo Yaoguo's mansion "Beilu" on the shore of East Lake in Wuhan.

"Luo Jun, the Imperial Army once fought bloodily in Manchuria in order to help your country resist the invasion of Tsarist Russia. There were 110,000 loyal and courageous people who gave their lives for this purpose, so the Empire's demand for special interests in Manchuria was entirely justified. If there had been no sacrifice of the Imperial Army, Manchuria would have been part of the Soviet Union today. Now that the sovereignty of Manchuria is still vested in your country, it is entirely thanks to the empire, and in return, you just pay a little special rights, do you think it is too much? ”

The words are Toushan Man, the day before yesterday after the banquet in Sun Yat-sen's Moshan Mansion, this old Japanese man was placed in Luo Yaoguo's house. In the past two days, Luo Yaoguo has discussed with this old man about the "secret treaty of betraying the country", and even the work of the General Counsel Department has been temporarily thrown to He Yingqin.

After listening to Toushanman's affairs, Luo Yaoguo was noncommittal, just drinking Natalie's coffee there in a sip. In fact, if it were not for the September 18 incident and the war of aggression against China in the future, it would have been reasonable for the Japanese to only want a part of Manchuria's resources. In the end, there was no result that they fought with their lives to fight the Russo-Japanese War, and this Manchurian custody was a part of the sacrosanct and inviolable territory of the Soviet Union, but Luo Yaoguo still remembered the "hatred of the country" in his previous life, in his opinion, in another time and space, the world of the Kuomintang was not so much to die to GCD, but to die at the hands of Japan. If there was no 9.18, there would be no eight-year war of resistance...... Therefore, the "grace" of the Russo-Japanese War is nothing compared to the "hatred" of the country in the future.

And if this time the Kuomintang and the Japanese concluded any secret dealings with Manchuria, and let Wang Ching-wei or someone else go to Manchuria to act as the ruler. A traitor's high hat is just afraid that it will be buckled down again. When the time comes, the righteous name will be gone, and the situation after 9.18 in the previous life where everyone shouted and beat will come again.

As for the name of Manchuria, it has no value at all, it is not even a chicken rib, and it may even be a poison. Now that the Kuomintang's blue sky and white sun flag is planted there, if there is anything bad in the future, it will not be the Kuomintang that will be scolded and lose the support of the people? Rather than this, it is better to continue to let the old Zhang family stand there, even if there is anything, they are fully responsible.

“…… At present, the various factions in North China may be negotiating a union. With the abundant resources of North China and Manchuria, if they unite and adopt the same policy as the South, within five years, their advantages will be wiped out, and then will the Kuomintang still have a chance to unify China? It's not good to be unified by others, right? In China's history, there are few cases in which the south unifies the north. ”

Toushan is full of beard, and his face is full of peaceful smiles, as if he is confident. But his heart is about to die, like him, a Japanese underworld boss with great powers and known as the "shogun", naturally knows that something is wrong in Jinan. If it can't be talked about in the next few days, Jinan will let the Kuomintang defeat again...... At that time, don't be Manchuria, even Qingdao will have to spit out, so at the beginning of today's secret talks, the old man has already discounted the amount of compensation from 300 million silver dollars to 30 million

Luo Yaoguo gently put down the coffee cup in his hand, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said with a smile: "It is beneficial for both countries to have a unified, peaceful and peaceful situation in the north of our country, right?" What does our Kuomintang need to veto? Does it have to be the northern warlords fighting and the lives of the people to be happy? Therefore, the Kuomintang fully approves of the GCD, the Feng faction, and the Jin faction's attempt to form a coalition government in the north. Moreover...... Nor did we think about unifying the North by force. ”

Tou Shanman is a little tempted to drop the cup. This Luo Yaoguo really didn't change his face and his heart didn't beat when he lied, and they didn't want to be unified by force? So what have you done in Shandong during this time? The Japanese army had only been to the Jiaoji Railway, and Duan Qirui's rule in other places in Shandong had not been overthrown by force?

Without waiting for Toushan Man to think of what words to refute, Luo Yaoguo immediately talked eloquently: "As for Manchuria, we also don't have any ambitions. It is now Vice President Zhang's land, and it has nothing to do with our Kuomintang, so we should talk to Vice President Zhang about what rights and interests we want...... If he can agree and the people of the whole country do not veto it, we in the Kuomintang have no opinion. And then there's the issue of reparations, uh, we're not agreeable. Our hundreds of thousands of troops have broken into our land to burn, kill and loot for no reason, and it seems that we should be the ones who want to ask for compensation, right? Where is the reason for us to pay reparations to the victims? ”

Tou Shanman's old face was blue and white for a while, and finally he slowly calmed down his breath and snorted coldly: "In this battle of Shandong, our Great Japanese Empire is the victor, and Jinan, the provincial capital of Shandong, is now in the hands of the Imperial Army, and it is natural for the defeated to pay compensation to the victor."

Luo Yaoguo laughed a few times and waved his hand: "Mr. Toushan is really good at joking, the losers of this war are not us, but Duan Qirui and Feng Yuxiang, if you want to pay compensation, you will go to them and ask for it." We are the victors and ...... Jinan will soon be ours."

Tou Shanman was silent, and the muscles on his face trembled slightly. A sense of foreboding and powerlessness flooded through his heart. He is now a "diplomat", and diplomacy is based on strength. If Jinan really can't hold it, what else is there to talk about? But on the Jinan side, he just couldn't make up his energy...... Why are those who claim to be invincible Imperial Japanese Army always reassuring now? You don't really want to lose the battle, do you?

……

Jinan is bordered by the Yellow River in the north and Mount Tai in the south, surrounded by mountains on all sides, which can be said to be dangerous. But if you really want to fight, you find that this dangerous terrain is full of loopholes. For example, the northeast and northwest sides of Jinan are like two open gates, and the whole terrain is flat without a little undulation, which is definitely a typical example of easy to attack and difficult to defend. These two open doors were destined to become a sad place for the Japanese army on April 8, 1928

At 6:30 a.m., when 124 planes with bombs were waiting for the Japanese artillery to emerge over the city of Jinan, the five heavy artillery regiments of the Kuomintang Tools South Third Line also began a day's "exercise." Well, because there will definitely be no return fire, the atmosphere on the artillery position at this moment is relaxed, there is not a trace of tension, and it looks like it is an exercise.

The 180 105mm light field howitzers and 90 150mm heavy field howitzers placed on the three targets trembled almost simultaneously. The firelight was the first to spit out, followed by a deafening roar, the smoke was filled, and in the blink of an eye, the Japanese army set up various positions on the periphery of Jinan, and the smoke pillars and earth and stones were raised.

When the cannon sounded, the commander of the 70th Infantry Regiment of the Nationalist Army, Colonel Yang Yuchun, who had graduated from the third phase of Whampoa, was lying on the side of the trench where the attack was made, and the trench was full of bells and officers of the army. Hearing the sound of the cannons, both officers and soldiers stood up straight from the trenches and looked forward, and everyone's faces were filled with excitement. Yang Yuchun, like them, is not much worried about the upcoming "bloody war". Because they are the most elite 18th Division in the Kuomintang Army, and they have destroyed the entire Soviet Far East Red Banner Special Army in a few hours, what are these short Oriental devils in front of them?

Yang Yuchun's regiment was to be responsible for attacking the northeast corner of Jinan's periphery, a flat position from Maoling Mountain to Qinghe. The Japanese army also broke through there a few days ago, and now it is the turn of the Kuomintang army to enter Jinan through this open gate.

Looking at the Japanese position on the opposite side that was shrouded in flames and smoke, Yang Yuchun frowned slightly, remembering the order given by the division headquarters to their 70th regiment: when attacking the Japanese army's Maoling Mountain to the Qinghe position, it is not allowed to capture it...... Do you want to deceive the Japanese into sending in and burning them to ashes? But the other side is bombarded like this, how can these twelve hours be mixed up? What a hassle

Half an hour of fire preparation for the people who were hit by the shells seemed to be a long time, but it seemed to be a short time for the Kuomintang officers and soldiers who were gloating about the Japanese army from the sidelines, and it passed in one fell swoop. When the time came, the sound of the cannon stopped abruptly. The smoke of gunpowder shrouded in the battlefield had not yet dissipated, and Yang Yuchun jumped out of the trench and raised his hand forward. At the same time, he raised his arms and shouted: "Comrades, move forward"

With the order of Grand Master Yang, the weak attack of the 70th Infantry Regiment of the National Army finally began. Infantry and officers all came out of the trenches, all dressed in similar clothes. Then they formed a wide line of skirmishers, so that the speed of the foot could be slowly advanced. The 70mm mountain guns and 70mm infantry guns of the 70th regimental artillery company and the 3 battalion artillery platoons were dragged to the front of the position and lined up, ready to support the attacking infantry with direct fire. The 60mm and 80mm mortars and 50mm grenadiers attached to the battalion and company levels followed the infantry to a higher position, and were used to suppress and destroy the Japanese machine-gun fire.

The first stragglers to meet the charge of the Kuomintang army were the Japanese mortars and grenadiers, these two kinds of "artillery" that could be quickly transferred were almost the only "heavy firepower" they could rely on at the moment, and these 50mm, 60mm, and 80mm shells exploded on the soft ground full of craters, stirring up columns of smoke and making a big gap in the wavy formation of the Kuomintang army. However, the officers and men of the Kuomintang army were still in good formation with a good straggler, but the law of the charge was accelerated. At the same time, the mortars and grenadiers of the Kuomintang army also began to return fire, and for a time the two sides came and went, and the battlefield was filled with gunsmoke.

Not long after, the machine guns of both sides also rang out, and at this time, the Chinese and Japanese armies were equipped with similar heavy machine guns and light machine guns. Dozens of tongues of fire made a windy sound, and the Kuomintang infantry had already crawled down and slowly squirmed forward. As they crawled within the range of rifle fire, the rifles of both sides began to fire again.

……

On the tower of Dongguan in Jinan, the commander of the Japanese Army's Shandong Dispatch Army, Muto Nobuyoshi, and the chief adviser, Sadao Araki, both raised their glasses and watched the expressions of the Chinese and Japanese armies on the front line. I also saw the overwhelming artillery fire of the Kuomintang army and the planes that constantly dived and dropped bombs. Sadao Araki slowly put down the telescope in his hand, exhaled softly, and a smile appeared on his face:

"The military quality of these Kuomintang troops is quite good, and the coordination between the various branches of the army is also very good, and it is obvious that they have obtained the true inheritance of the Germans. But when you start to charge, it's a little dull. There will never be a desperate charge like the Imperial Army. They simply moved the army to the scale of fire and then started firing at each other. Trying to suffocate our troops with fire, and then initiate a charge. While they have a lot of firepower and may rely on firepower to win in the end, this style of play can take time. Now, on our side, it seems that this battle is destined to be a thrilling situation. ”

Muto Nobuyoshi also put down the binoculars, his face was still pale, but there was also a spark of hope in his cold eyes: "It's really fortunate that these people are well-equipped and well-trained, and those brave ...... They are not well trained, and weapons are not allowed. It looks like the empire still has a chance."

Sadao Araki also nodded and echoed: "If these Kuomintang troops have the indomitable spirit of those Red Army, and advocate a decisive attack on all fronts...... I'm afraid that the 16th Wing has already been defeated, right? And according to the fighting style of this group of Kuomintang troops, the 16th Wing can hold out for at least two days"

"Shina Red Army" Muto Nobuyoshi frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something annoying.

It turned out that the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army actually ran into trouble in the operation of buying through the Jinpu Road on the Northern Front, and this trouble was the Second Army of the Red Army and the National Coalition Army. These squadrons, which had retreated to the north bank of the Yellow River, seemed to have recovered in just a few days, and had made up for it to a certain extent, and at this time they actually blocked the Fadu of the Fourth Division in Pingyuan County, and in addition, the Red Second Army Corps and the Nationalist Coalition Army also destroyed a large section of the tracks of the Jinpu Railway on the north bank of the Yellow River, making the train impassable. At the same time, strikes have also broken out on the northern section of the Jinpu Railway in the past few days, and the original plan to coerce the Feng Department to open the Jinpu Road to allow the passage of trains loaded with Japanese baggage ammunition seems to be in vain. If Jinpu Road can't be bought for a long time, and the ammunition can't make up for it......

"Araki-kun." Muto Nobuyoshi took a deep breath: "There is no problem here in Jinan for the time being, it's just that it is bleeding slowly, although it is a bit much, but it is not unbearable." The key now is the Jinpu Road, if the Fourth Division does not expel the Chinese Red Army and the National Alliance Army there to buy this lifeline for the sending army, we are afraid that we will be wiped out if we do not reach the reinforcements. ”

"No, the Fourth Division is an elite that has been rewarded by the Meiji Emperor, and they will definitely be able to buy a lifeline for the dispatch army" Sadao Araki touched the two high-raised mustaches, holding his head high, full of confidence.

Muto Nobuyoshi tightened the corners of his mouth: "It's not that I don't distrust the Fourth Division, I just hope that they can complete the task assigned by the dispatch army as soon as possible." Araki-kun, go there yourself and urge them. This group of Osaka vendors seems to be impossible not to force. ”
