In fact, before Chen Shaokuan arrived in Tianjin, neither the bigwigs in Yan'an nor the old Chiang in Chongqing knew very well how many Japanese warships Ma Zheng's troops had captured, but they only knew that they had captured the heavy cruiser Ashigara, the flagship of the Japanese Second Fleet, in Qingdao, and captured Vice Admiral Toyoda, the commander of the Japanese Second Fleet. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Now they know that Ma Zheng's division this time is not just to capture Qingdao and Tianjin and capture Toyota's vice-military force, they almost completely annihilated the Japanese Second Fleet, at this time there are as many as 86 Japanese ships controlled by Ma Zheng's department, and at least 77 large oil tankers and armed merchant ships of thousands or even tens of thousands of tons, so many fleets can form a considerable naval fleet.

Especially after the Japanese Third Fleet was heavily damaged by Ma Zheng's troops on the outskirts of Wuhan, such a fleet could completely suppress the power of the Japanese Navy in China. Of course, this is only temporary, and once the Japanese government discovers the seriousness of the matter, it will inevitably mobilize more ships from Japan to China, and then the navy will inevitably fall into disadvantage again.

But it doesn't matter, as long as there is such a fleet to exert pressure on the Japanese army from the outside, then the Japanese navy will not go too far, especially if it is of great significance for China to seek external assistance.

Therefore, when Chen Shaokuan proposed to recruit soldiers on the spot in Tianjin, so that so many ships could be sailed back to Fangchenggang, Lao Jiang agreed without suspecting too much. After all, Lao Jiang could not have thought that the Eighth Route Army would have the idea of forming a naval fleet, let alone that Chen Shaokuan would cooperate with Ma Zheng.

In addition, Chen Shaokuan said that the situation in Tianjin was rather grim, saying that these ships were always within the bombing range of the Japanese air force, and they had to find a way to leave as soon as possible.

After getting the approval of Chongqing, Chen Shaokuan immediately began to recruit soldiers on a large scale in Tianjin. With Ma Zheng's full support, in just one day, 4,318 literate and water-literate soldiers were gathered, of whom more than 1,000 were soldiers belonging to Ma Zheng's department, and the vast majority of them were student soldiers who had just joined the army.

On the one hand, the reason why student soldiers are chosen is that most of them have a certain cultural foundation. The navy is different from the infantry, and the navy has certain requirements for the cultural level of the soldiers. The second is that the plasticity of student soldiers is good, unlike veterans who have developed those habits, and it is difficult to quit no matter how good they are.

Looking at the more than 4,000 energetic soldiers in front of him, Chen Shaokuan was in a good mood, especially when he heard that Ma Zheng was going to let him escort more than 500,000 tons of supplies south to Qingdao this time, of which 50,000 tons were handed over to Chongqing by him. Chen Shaokuan's favorability towards Ma Zheng and Ma Zheng's subordinates skyrocketed, and even began to be called brothers despite Ma Zheng's opposition.

"Brother Chen, do you really plan to transport all the hundreds of cannons on the Tianjin port to Fangchenggang?" Chen Shaokuan asked in surprise.

"Of course, we will definitely not be able to hold Tianjin anyway, and now the little devil is spreading the stall too big, and it will be out of order for a while, otherwise the navy, land and air force would have jointly fought over. When the time comes, there are warships on the sea, tanks on the ground, and planes in the air, does Brother Houura think we can hold this place? Ma Zheng asked with a smile.

"Defending cannot be defended, I have seen the power of the Japanese army's combined naval and land and air operations during the Battle of Songhu, and with our current combat effectiveness, we can only be beaten passively, and we have no power to fight back. Besides, Tianjin is a place of a hundred battles, and the Japanese army will definitely not give up! Chen Shaokuan said worriedly.

"Isn't this over, since you can't hold it, you can't make the little devil comfortable, each of these large-caliber coastal defense guns is a treasure, instead of leaving it to the little devil to plague us, it is better to transport it to Fangchenggang, I think it will definitely be of great use there." Ma Zheng said.

"Oh, why? Is the Japanese army going to attack Guangxi? Chen Shaokuan asked suspiciously.

"In the past, the Japanese may not have planned to attack Guangxi, but as long as your navy uses Fangchenggang as a base, it is inevitable that the Japanese army will attack Guangxi, so this batch of coastal defense artillery will be of great use to you, so I judge that it will not be long before the Japanese army will attack Guangxi." Ma Zheng said.

"Isn't this good news, with this batch of cannons, can we hold Guangxi?"

"This is unknown, Guangxi is the nest of the Gui family, it depends on how determined the Military Commission is to defend Guangxi. However, with this batch of artillery, at least the little devils can be caught off guard, and it would be great if they could severely damage or even sink a few large warships. Ma Zheng said.

"What if the cannon is dismantled and you have to stay here for at least a few days, what if the Japanese warships come a few days earlier, will you be bombed?" Chen Shaokuan asked again.

"How is it possible, in a few days, the materials in the city will be rushed, and if they can't be transported, they will all be pulled by you to Qingdao and Guangxi. As for us, you don't have to worry about it, they don't have the guts, the lives of the more than 20,000 Japanese expatriates in Tianjin are still in my hands, and when the little devils dare to open fire, I will pull those Japanese expatriates to the dock and let them open fire to their heart's content. Moreover, now the Japanese army in Beiping City has been almost defeated, and more than a dozen large-caliber heavy artillery pieces are bombarding day and night, and at most Beiping City will be captured tomorrow, and then the little devil will have the energy to manage Tianjin. Ma Zheng said lightly.

Chen Shaokuan was dumbfounded and said: "Wouldn't it be too cruel to use expatriates as hostages, they are all civilians." ”

"Cruel? What the hell is this cruel, compared to the little devils, we are already very merciful, brother, have you ever known that not long ago when the Japanese army attacked Xinghe County, where our army was stationed, due to our army's desperate resistance, the Japanese siege troops suffered heavy losses. In order to reduce casualties, the brutes actually captured thousands of civilians from outside the city, forced them to charge at our positions with bayonets, and also helped many people with explosives bags and grenades. ”

Then Ma Zheng gritted his teeth and said again: "More than 500 civilians were shot in that battle, and one of my regiment commanders committed suicide out of guilt. In addition, brother, do you know who is fighting with us in Beiping City now? You can't imagine that it's those Japanese civilians. ”

Then Ma Zheng explained: "Brother Houpu may not know, do you think those Japanese expatriates are really just expatriates? To tell you the truth, the expatriates who entered the major cities with the army were former soldiers, and when the war was not tense, they maintained order in the city for the Japanese army while doing business. When the force is tight, they will be replenished to various units to participate in the battle at any time, and become the most vicious invaders. ”

"There were originally only a few thousand Japanese troops in Beiping City, and it stands to reason that it should have been broken a long time ago, but because of which expatriates are there, it has been 5 days and Beiping City is still immovable, and now brother, do you still think those guys are still innocent?"

"It's really a beast, kill it well, just pull those bastards to the dock and let them see the courage of our Chinese." Chen Shaokuan said.

"By the way, brother, the younger brother has something to ask for, and I hope the elder brother must help?" Ma Zheng said.

"If you say anything, brother, as long as I can help, I will definitely not postpone it." Chen Shaokuan said.

"That's the case, this time we attacked Tianjin, not only captured so many naval ships, but also captured a large number of aircraft, so I hope Brother Houpu can talk to the captain of the air force, let him keep a few pilots who are good at combat level, and let them come down to teach my soldiers to learn to fly airplanes." Ma Zheng said with a smile.

"Piloting the plane, brother, are you going to form an aviation unit?" Chen Shaokuan said.

"In general, we can't let those planes nest in the hangar." Ma Zheng said with a smile.

"Alright then, I'll ask for you."

After a while, there was a letter from there, and Ma Zheng was very satisfied, and the air force promised to leave him three pilots to teach Ma Zheng's soldiers to learn to fly airplanes. (To be continued.) )
