Chapter Ninety-Four: Declaring War on Japan

Hikosuke Fukuda looked at the bald head's six answers, and was not satisfied, he replied angrily: "The stipulated time has passed, there is no need to talk about it again!" Fukuda Hikosuke brutally drove away the envoy he had sent, and then ordered an attack on Jinan. At this time, the follow-up reinforcements had arrived, and the Japanese army of 15,000 people landed in Qingdao.

Just as Hikosuke Fukuda ordered the troops to attack, Chen Shao personally came to the studio of the broadcasting building.

During the broadcast, the people who were still listening to the news were interrupted by a piece of news, and when they heard Chen Shao, chairman of the Southwest Autonomous Government, was about to speak, they all listened attentively. Chen Shao has not spoken more than five times since the establishment of broadcasting, but each time there is big news. Now hearing that Chen Shao was going to speak, it immediately aroused the curiosity of the audience.

"On May 3, the Japanese imperialists forced Jinan, brutally killed our compatriots, and occupied our land, which is the most shameful anniversary of the Chinese nation! On this anniversary, all the Chinese people, all the descendants of our Yellow Emperor, will never forget this kind of shame, and all kinds of barbaric actions of Japan are simply beasts, and if we do not seek revenge, we cannot be regarded as Chinese! Our southwestern government will never give in to their oppression! As a Chinese, I cannot let Japan's brutal acts go unchecked, and we military and civilians in the southwest should not sit idly by. In my capacity as Chairman of the Government of the Southwest, I hereby declare war on Japanese imperialism from this moment on.

May 7, 1928"

Wow!!! For a time, both the north and the south were in a huge shock, and they all knew about the Japanese invasion, and the broadcast was announced three days earlier. It's just that what shocked them was that the southwest was so strong, it broke off diplomatic relations with Japan a few years ago, and now it is directly declaring war.

Just when Chen Shao's voice fell, Yan Xishan, the governor of Shanxi, also telegraphed the whole country, and Shanxi was merged into the southwest, accepting the leadership of the southwest government and supporting the southwest in the war against Japan.

At this time, the only domestic forces left were Feng, Southwest, and Nanjing, and Zhiwan had already existed in name only.

After the bald head learned that Japan was attacking directly, and the southwest declared war on Japan, he immediately regretted it, and he had cooperated with the southwest if he knew it, but now it was too late.

Bong is very quiet, looking indifferent.

Wuhan, after three days of preparation, the original medium-sized military airfield, after three days of emergency expansion, thanks to the vigorous efforts of the engineering troops, the scale of Wuhan has increased several times.

At this time, Wuhan Airport was already full of large planes.

On the side of the runway, a team of paratroopers had already finished their formation.

In this battle, because it was too sudden, Chen Shao was not prepared at all, so he gave the bald head three days. Taking advantage of these three days to urgently deploy troops, an army is now already in Shanxi.

And ordered a regiment of paratroopers to urgently support Jinan to buy time for the follow-up troops. Now the Japanese army has not officially invaded Jinan, and it is only the Northern Expeditionary Army that has died.

In the original history, the Northern Expeditionary Army resisted in Jinan for three days, and then the bald head ordered the Northern Expeditionary Army to withdraw. After the Northern Expeditionary Army withdrew from Jinan, the Japanese army held a ceremony to enter the city on the morning of May 11 to show the prestige of the country, and began a tragic massacre: when they saw people, they shot at them, cut off ** when they saw women, and stabbed them to death with knives. More than 11,000 soldiers and civilians were killed and wounded in Jinan, and it was really a river of blood, corpses everywhere, miserable, and the whole world was outraged.

Wuhan Airport.

"Soldiers, as the first batch of the Southwest People's Army to go north, you are shouldering a huge historical mission. The anti-Japanese situation will begin from the moment you set foot on the battlefield.

The 5,000-year-old heritage of China cannot be destroyed in our generation. In ancient times, there was General Qi Jiguang, who killed the Japanese, and today there will also be iron-blooded soldiers in the southwest who killed the Japanese. The survival of the nation and the security of the race need to be defended with the steel guns in your hands.

I'm looking forward to the battle ahead. I hope that you will defend your homeland and the country and expel the Japanese invaders for the purpose, defend the land and the people, and defend your home and country. ”

On the airport square, Chen Shao stood on the school review platform in military uniform, and said these short words impassionedly, he knew that for these soldiers who were about to board the plane and rush to the north, there was no need to say more, they were already murderous.

After the ceremony, Luo Rong walked to the front of the troops and shouted: "All of them, take a break, stand upright." The 1st Regiment of the Airborne Division, began to board the aircraft"

The huge Wuhan military airport began to be built after the reconquest of Wuhan, and it was considered that the recovery of Shaanxi or the northwest would need to be used as a key airport in the future, so the equipment was perfect, and the airport construction level was definitely first-class, and after expansion, there were a few more runways, which looked not much smaller than Guangzhou Airport and Nanning Airport.

Dozens of Dapeng-class transport planes have already been parked on the runway, and this aircraft is somewhat different from the traditional Dapeng-class transport aircraft, specially prepared for paratroopers, with a range of only more than 1,000 kilometers. But it is possible to carry a platoon of paratroopers. The rear cabin door was wide open, just waiting for the iron-blooded men to board. The soldiers of the first regiment quickly divided into companies, three of which were the first to board the plane, while the rest of the company ran to the transport plane parked on the tarmac and boarded the plane.

"Tower, number 01 requests to take off."

"Agree to take off"

After getting the take-off order, the first plane on the runway began to slide, the engine gradually started, the propeller rotated, and then the speed became faster and faster, and then the engine sounded louder and louder, the pilot pulled the control stick, and the plane taxied a distance of several hundred meters, slightly raised its head to leave the ground, and quickly rushed into the air.

Xu Shiyou was the commander of the first regiment of the Air Force Division and the first batch of people to board the plane, looking at the sky outside the porthole and the vast land below, he couldn't help but feel a feeling of the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. For this expedition to Jinan, he has made all psychological preparations.

The planes that took off, after the formation was completed, flew in the direction of Jinan.

----------------

At this time, in Jinan City, the Japanese army had already begun to prepare for an attack.

A regiment of the Northern Expeditionary Army was also ready for battle.

The Japanese army in the first wave of the attack was only one squadron in size, but with one squadron of artillery cover.

"Yo Si, I want to see that the walls of the people of China are strong. Or is our artillery powerful. The mortar squad was ordered to immediately build a position, cooperate with the artillery squadron, and carry out covering fire on the walls of the Chinese people. The avant-garde squad is ready to attack at any time and destroy the Shina people in the city. The squadron leader looked at the wall in front of him and said contemptuously.

After listening to the squadron leader's order, the devils behind him immediately began to act. The various squads quickly assembled to form an attack squad. Heavy machine gun squads, mortar squads, carried out their guys one after another and came to the front of the attack position. Start assembling heavy weapons. Crates of bullets. Boxes of shells were quickly moved by the soldiers to the mortars.

"Regiment commander, the Japanese are already about to attack" Looking at the series of actions of the devils in the city, the guard company commander said anxiously.

"Panic. Ordered a squad to stay on the city wall to be on guard, and the remaining soldiers immediately followed me to retreat to the recess behind the city wall and stand by, quickly, the devils are about to shell. The regiment commander watched the devil's mortar aim at the city wall and calmly ordered.

"One squad will stay on guard, and all the rest will retreat, quickly, retreat," the company commander immediately ordered the soldiers next to him.

In less than a minute, the originally lively city wall was agitated, and only a dozen warriors remained.

"Your Excellency the Captain, the artillery squad is ready." After finishing the artillery squad leader came to the squadron leader and said.

"Yo Xi, as soon as the artillery squadron fires, the artillery squad also starts firing. Let everyone on the other side of China know the power of our artillery of the Great Japanese Empire, and let them know what kind of fate it will be to be the enemy of our Great Japanese Empire? The squadron leader said confidently.

"Hey, the humble duty must live up to the mission, so that everyone on the opposite side of the branch will disappear under my cannon." After listening to the squadron leader's encouragement, the squad leader answered excitedly.

A dull sound of artillery cannons being ejected was heard, and immediately afterward, a violent explosion was remembered in front of the walls of the guard company. This is the devil testing artillery shells in almsgiving, announcing the beginning of the resistance battle in Jinan City.

Soon, the adjusted artillery began to shell, and groups of four shells, together with Type 92 infantry artillery shells, began to fall on the city walls continuously. To say that the devil's artillery can be described as really well-trained, almost every shell fell in the predetermined position. A completely plum-shaped point of explosion.

In this way, under the precise shelling of the devils, the city wall fell into a sea of fire, and some of the more than a dozen soldiers who stayed behind were eliminated at fixed points, which shows the technology of the devil's artillery.

"The dog said, the little devil's cannonball bomb is really accurate, poor for the group left on the city wall! I don't know how many will survive in a while? Looking at the fierce artillery fire of the devils, the guard company commander clenched his fists and said.

"Don't say it, let the soldiers hurry up and rest, as soon as the devil's shelling is over. Let's rush on. ”

Looking at the guard company commander next to him whose lips trembled, the regiment commander immediately ordered.

"Yo Xi" looked at the city wall of the people on the opposite side, and was full of devastation from his own artillery fire, and the squadron leader couldn't help but praise. "Your Excellency the Captain, the avant-garde squad requests an immediate attack, so that the people on the opposite side can also taste the power of the infantry of the Great Japanese Empire." Looking at the city wall of the Shina people who had fallen into a sea of fire. The captain of the avant-garde squad also came to the squadron leader with excitement on his face.

"Yo Xi, you're good. But we don't need to be unnecessarily killed. And here it is left to the artillerymen. When you get to the city in a while, you will have room to play. The squadron leader praised.

"Hey." After listening to the squadron leader's words, the squad leader returned to his position stupidly.

The establishment of a first-class field division of the Japanese army is: two infantry brigades (each brigade has two infantry wings), plus one wing of engineers, baggage, cavalry, and artillery, and the maximum strength can reach 27,000 when fully established.
