Chapter 302: Can They Swim?

"Ban Hengjun's courage is commendable, I think the Fifth Division can take on the important task of pursuing the defeated army of China." Seeing that Itako Seishiro took the initiative to ask for help, Matsui Shigen nodded and said. "Then the thing to pursue"

Before Matsui Shigen finished speaking, a voice came out from the side again: "Your Excellency Commander, I think that only the Fifth Division is pursuing the defeat of the Chinese army, and the strength is inevitably a little insufficient, so let's send more troops, the Sixth Division is now with high morale, and it is just the right thing to do." Hearing this voice, Matsui Ishone's head began to hurt again, this person was the division commander of the Sixth Division, Tani Toshio.

"Yes, and our Ninth Division! The Ninth Division is no worse than any other army! "Well, the Ninth Division also jumped out.

Matsui Ishine looked at the division commanders in front of him, and finally joined the mud and attacked the retreating troops with the three divisions

On the evening of October 25, the sun hung on the western horizon after a burning day, and the afterglow of the setting sun burned the vast land. Tranquil fields, verdant hills, and tranquil rivers make up a beautiful pastoral landscape

There was a roar of cars and horses, and the beauty of the Central Plains was broken. On the roads, in the fields, on the hillsides, there were teams of yellow and gray armies, winding towards the sun and retreating westward. This is a team that knows at a glance that it has lost a battle, there is no formation, no life, the head in front of the pull xiōng seems to be too heavy to lift, and the strength of the past is long gone. The gun also seemed to have become a redundant burden in their hands, carrying them on their backs, on their shoulders, and on their shoulders in different postures. The ragged uniforms were covered with mud and blood, making the dullness even more exhausting.

A Chahar-made Willis jeep drove along a simple and uneven dirt road, and Chen Cheng, commander of the 15th Group Army, sat drowsily. The adjutant on the side saw that Chen Cheng was not in a high mood and wanted to tell some jokes to make the commander happy, but before he could open his mouth, the exclamations of the soldiers came from the side: "The Japanese plane is coming!" ”

Yes, it was a Japanese plane, and one plane quickly flew low over the ranks, and the air currents of the planes blew off the hats of some of the soldiers, causing countless soldiers on the road to flee in all directions in fright.

Chen Cheng watched all this silently, this is a Japanese army's Nakajima 94 biplane reconnaissance plane, which is not armed, but even this can make the soldiers almost collapse, is this still the Japanese naval gun charging on the Songhu battlefield? And where is the air force in China? At this time, Chen Cheng had the urge to cry.

Shanghai finally fell into the hands of the Japanese, and under the deliberate concealment of the Japanese government, the destruction of the 25th and 36th divisions did not cause much of a sensation in Japan. On the contrary, the news of the occupation of Shanghai by the 'Imperial Japanese Army' was a big book.

In the Dongying Islands, the Japanese were feverishly boiling with the triumphant songs of the Imperial Army on the distant Chinese battlefield. Tokyo's cabinet, military headquarters, and even ordinary people were immersed in cheers and drumming everywhere. Newspapers and radio stations swayed by the state repeat a voice every day: Long live the emperor! Expand the victory of the Imperial Army. Those militarist fanatics floated up like dirty oil, encircling the Japan Strait and embracing the Dongying Islands. They organized, rallied, petitioned, and scurried around the Japanese archipelago, frantically clamoring.

Expand the victory of the war!

Completely wipe out the stubborn China army!

Conquer China!

Although some areas of the Toei archipelago have begun to get cold in November, Yamato hún is boiling with the blood of the dwarf Japanese.

On the road to Liaoyuan, a mighty army was driving on a dusty road. Su Tong was sitting in the jeep, there was a Japanese newspaper in front of him, well, don't think how mysterious Japanese is, Japanese originally originated from Chinese, ordinary literate Chinese people can even guess most of it, the newspaper is awe-inspiring with photos of the Japanese army after the occupation of Shanghai.

"Okay, let's be proud for a while, and when buddy Bī is close to Fengtian, you will know that it hurts, see if you are still afraid. And Vladivostok, there should be some movement there! Putting the newspaper aside, Chief Su muttered to himself.

Moscow Kremlin

Stalin was still accustomed to puffing smoke with his large yù rice pipe, and in front of him was a telegram from the Acting Commander of the Far Eastern Military District, General Olega, showing the recent troop movements and objectives of the Japanese army.

After pondering for a while, Stalin picked up the phone on the table and said: "Marshal Budyonny, please!" ”

After a while, Marshal Budyonny, who had a bearded beard with a mouth of the emblem xìng, came to Stalin's office, and Stalin handed Budyonny an urgent telegram from Olga and instructed: "Comrade Budyonny, in view of the deterioration of the situation in the Far East, I consider that Comrade Olga's experience is no longer sufficient for the duties of the commander of the Far Eastern Military District. I would like to ask you if you have any good candidates? ”

Budyonny smiled bitterly: "Dear Comrade Stalin, with all due respect, now no one has the means and ability to keep the Far East. ”

Budyonny's words silenced Stalin, who, although tyrannical and domineering, was not a fool. This war in Siberia has already made them take care of themselves, Zhukov still can't open up the situation in Ulan-Ude, and it is difficult for Soviet Russia's ground forces to directly enter Vladivostok, and if it relies on the Pacific Fleet alone, it will be insufficient. Now he can only watch Huaxia and the Japanese rummaging through the cabinets in his own home while he can't do anything about it, this feeling almost drives him crazy.

"In Vladivostok we still have six infantry divisions, and the Pacific Fleet, why can't we counterattack?" Stalin's roar sounded in the office.

"But the Japanese also have fleets, and their combined fleet is stronger than our Pacific Fleet. If we use the fleet to fight back, we will lose not only Vladivostok, but also the entire Far East. "Marshal Budyonny was always so honest that he would never lie in front of anyone.

After half a ring, Stalin sat down like a deflated ball, and said in a dull voice: "Order Olga to immediately withdraw his troops to the area around Komsomolsk and wait for orders, and the Pacific Fleet to withdraw to other ports." The industrial equipment and valuable things of Vladivostok were removed, and they were not allowed to be left to the enemy. I'd like to see how these Chinese and Japanese fight. ”

The actions of the Russians could not hide the agents assigned by China and Japan in Vladivostok, and the photos of the Soviet and Russian troops dismantling machinery and equipment in Vladivostok and moving valuable things to the transport ships of the Pacific Fleet were sent to Su Tong.

Looking at the photo in front of him, Su Tong smiled hesitantly, "It's okay if you dismantle these broken copper and iron, buddies are not uncommon, but buddies can't let you walk out of 'Peter the Great Bay' so comfortably, wouldn't it be cheaper for you?" It just so happens that the two divisions of the HNA have just been formed, and they don't have any actual combat experience, so let's use you to practice your hands! ”

At this time, the 100,000-strong army led by Sun Liren had conquered the Twin Cities (Ussurisko), and the whole army was resting and waiting in the Twin Cities at the moment.

The Twin Cities were already crowded with soldiers of the Chahar Expeditionary Army at this time, and on the newly built airport, countless new planes were constantly taking off and landing, a busy scene, which made Sun Liren, who was standing on the side with his hands in his hands, feel very comfortable. With the addition of more than 1,000 fighters, although the capture of Vladivostok had to face the snatching of nearly 200,000 troops of the Japanese Kwantung Army, he still appeared full of confidence.

"Report to the chief, Commander Su is calling!" An officer from the Confidential Section walked in with a telegram.

"Read!"

In order to ensure that Vladivostok's equipment and wealth would not be outflowed, the fighters of the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Navy were specially ordered to take off in turn to prevent enemy ships from entering and leaving the port freely. In order to protect the safety of our property ......"

In the telegram, Su Tong said a lot of things, and there was only one meaning, that is, Vladivostok was about to fall into our hands, and the property in it was ours. If you want to transport things away, it will definitely not work, you have to knock down their warships, and by the way, you will practice your hands for those rookies in HNA.

Sun Liren, who immediately understood the telegram, immediately assigned the task overnight

These days, the port of Vladivostok is unusually prosperous, and the Pacific Fleet, which received the order, began to get busy. Every day, transports and gunboats, destroyers and other ships come in and out, and today is no exception. Gerasimovich. Vice Admiral Kuznetsov was standing on the battleship "Gangut" looking at the sea from afar, and he was very anxious.

In his opinion, this bit of industrial equipment in Vladivostok is nothing at all, and if it is lost, it will be lost. In the event that the Japanese combined fleet will appear in Vladivostok at any moment, instead of securing the personnel, what industrial equipment will be delivered, this in itself is an almost idiotic decision.

"Comrade commander, you don't have to worry too much, according to the intelligence of the Japanese side, the combined fleet of the Japanese is still staying in their ports and Shanghai in China?" At this time, a major general walked up to Lieutenant General Kuznetsov with two cups of coffee and handed him a one, the chief of staff of the Pacific Fleet, Rear Admiral Vtoriak.

"Well, I hope so, dear Comrade Vtoriak." Lieutenant General Kuznetsov took the coffee and took a sip gently. "But I always feel that something is wrong, should we guard against those Chinese people?"

"Hahaha"

Major General Vtoriak leaned back with a smile, "Dear Comrade Kuznetzo, Chinese? Can they swim, don't make me amused. If they can threaten our Pacific Fleet, then I'll jump from here. ”

As soon as Major-General Vtoriac's words fell, the alarm sounded in the harbor......
