Chapter 214: Killing the Light (1)
What Fang Jianxiong said, everyone here has never thought about it. I even think it's incredible, how can there be such a reason? The mistakes made by the Japanese soldiers, to take revenge on their ordinary people. There is one thing Fang Jianxiong knows very well, few Japanese people doing business in China have clean butts. Even some of Japan's big trading companies are spy agencies in their own right.
Throughout the history of the Republic of China, when Japan was not strong, it used economic, political and other means to exacerbate civil strife in the Republic of China and prevent the reunification of China. When the means of peace may be broken, they will jump out and use military means to undermine the peaceful reunification of the Republic of China. The fundamental purpose of the "Jinan Massacre" that occurred during the Northern Expedition in history was to prevent the unification of the Republic of China.
Objectively speaking, every Japanese citizen is responsible for China's aggression. Don't talk about the results of militaristic education, any Japanese is first and foremost a Japanese citizen. Wearing military uniforms, they are Japanese soldiers and Japanese nationals.
"Supporting the country, are you thinking about it, countering violence with violence, and not solving the fundamental problem." Xu Shichang, who was an old qualification, persuaded him uneasily. In exchange for Fang Jianxiong's more vicious words: "The Japanese army slaughtered the ordinary people of our country on our territory." If the Japanese army kills one of our citizens, I will kill one back, and I will not be able to lose one. This sentence, record it, and publish it in the newspaper tomorrow. β
Fang Jianxiong's tone was still unhurried, but it was unusually firm, and everyone on the scene suddenly realized that this was an irreversible decision.
"Supporting the country ......." Cai Yuanpei stood up, excited. His face flushed. Fang Jianxiong waved his hand and interrupted him: "No need to persuade you, it's useless to persuade anyone." My moral standard is very simple, tooth for tooth, blood debt for blood. Therefore, I will carry the infamy, and you don't have to worry about leaving a notoriety in history. β
The plane that took off from Tianjin landed at Nanyuan Airport, and the film was sent to the General Staff Headquarters, where it was immediately taken for washing. The meeting was suspended in the conference room, all waiting for the photos to be developed. Waiting is tormenting. Especially after Fang Dashuai let out cruel words. Everyone wants to see the photos, not too miserable.
A thick stack of photos was developed and sent to the conference room. Half of the photos taken by the plane are not very clear. But there's still half there. But the sin is clearly recorded. The burning waiting villages, the fleeing people, and the Japanese soldiers chasing and killing can all be seen. Corpses on the road, insulted women, and so on.
The latter photos are taken by the pilot risking his danger and diving to a height of about 10 meters. You may not know what this altitude means to pilots. Yang Yongtai explained slowly on the side. Fang Jianxiong stared at a photo for a while. This photo was probably taken at the lowest point. Several Japanese soldiers were chasing a woman, whose face was not clear, but it was clear that she was naked.
Fang Jianxiong closed his eyes in pain. Although I work hard, this country is still too weak, and people just want to bully you, they just think you are a bully. "Changqing. Send a report to Leng Yu, in my name. The message was as follows: Daye Japanese Army, not a single one is left. β
"Fuguo, calm down!" Sun Baoqi was afraid that Fang Jianxiong would be angry and do something more impulsive. Fang Jianxiong waved his hand, his eyes were red, and he said in a low voice: "Teacher, I am very calm. As he spoke, he said to Yang Yongtai, who had finished recording: "Call again, Northeast Military Region Headquarters." Brother Runnong, with a garrison at Dashiqiao, the main force will attack along the Anshen Railway to Andong, and the Japanese strongholds along the way will be uprooted, don't take prisoners! In addition, Japanese businessmen in all parts of the Northeast were all seized and confiscated property. β
Yang Yongtai finished recording, handed it to Fang Jianxiong to sign and was about to go out, but Fang Jianxiong stopped him and said: "Wait a minute, give Chen a telegram again, all the submarine forces will attack, block the sea surface of Lushun with mines, and all ships flying the Japanese flag can be sunk." β
The others were speechless, and Fang Jianxiong's arrangement had no room for negotiation at all.
"Cousin Confucian, hold a press conference to inform you of this news and declare that our defense forces will take all possible measures to retaliate against this atrocity committed by the Japanese army. If the Japanese army takes the next step, the government of the Republic of China will declare war on Japan. Fang Jianxiong gave another order to Wang Zhengting, Wang Zhengting looked at Sun Baoqi with some hesitation, and Lao Sun shook his head gently.
"Okay, I'll do it." Wang Zhengting went out as he spoke, and Fang Jianxiong arched his hand to everyone and said, "Everyone, go first, I want to prepare for a possible full-scale war between China and Japan." Farewell! β
On October 3, 1914, the Sino-Japanese dispute, which had been looking to calm down, suddenly restarted. Wang Zhengting, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, held a press conference to report on the tragic incident that was taking place in Dagukou. And showed aerial photos!
Wang Zhengting did not condemn Japan's so-called atrocities, but clenched his fists and said loudly: "According to the Xinchou Treaty, our national defense forces are not allowed to enter Tianjin. However, the government of the Republic of China will retaliate by all possible means. A tooth for a tooth, blood for a blood. β
As soon as this news came out, the whole world was shocked! When the envoys of Britain, France, Russia, and the United States, who were mediating the Sino-Japanese war, learned of the news, the British minister Zhu Erdian scolded: Yellow pig! The French minister, Immanuel Kant, lamented, "Damn it." The Russian minister, Kudashev, immediately got up, and said angrily to the attachΓ© beside him on the way: Damn yellow-skinned monkey, can't you be quiet? The American minister, Raines, was silent for a long time, but he also went out as soon as possible.
The ministers of the four countries came to the palace and asked to see Fang Jianxiong, instead of going to President Sun Baoqi or the prime minister of the cabinet. These foreign devils know very well in their hearts who has the final say in this country.
Daye, located in the southeast of Hubei, Daye is rich in minerals, such as iron, copper, gold, silver and other minerals, which has an irresistible attraction for Japan, a resource-poor country. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Japan gradually controlled Han Yeping through financial means, and if it were not for the opposition of the whole country, Japanese capital almost became the owner of Han Yeping. Japan has put a huge amount of effort into Han Yeping, with two purposes, one is for resources, and the other is to strangle China's steel industry.
After Sheng Xuanhuai unconditionally handed over Han Yeping to the state, the government of the Republic of China returned the money he borrowed from the Japanese. Catching up with the depreciation of the yen at the beginning of this year, the government of the Republic of China paid it back in one go. In this way, Han Yeping has nothing to do with Japanese capital, but the Japanese Marines still occupy Daye's iron mines.
This barbaric act exposed Japan's wolf ambitions. At that time, the first battle did not break out, and Fang Jianxiong could only endure it. After the Battle of Qingdao, Fang Jianxiong originally decided to take back Daye Iron Mine at the negotiating table, but now the tragedy of Dagukou occurred. Then the problem of Daye Iron Mine was solved by force.
The special operations brigade under the Leng Yu headquarters was upgraded to a division during the reorganization period, and two mixed special operations brigades were under its jurisdiction. What is a Special Warfare Mixed Brigade? That is, two infantry regiments per brigade and one 75 mountain artillery regiment. Due to the large amount of equipment and personnel required by the special operations brigade, Daye was stationed near Wuhan, first, to watch a brigade of the Japanese Marine Corps nearby, and second, to facilitate replenishment. Special operations divisions are not ordinary troops, they are more rigorously trained, and the formation of combat effectiveness of troops is slower. This is also the reason why Leng Yu failed to catch up with the battle of Qingdao, and it was originally planned to be transferred to Beijing as a garrison after completing the whole training.
Leng Yu, who received the telegram, immediately issued an order for operation, and the troops were already deployed in several villages around the iron mine, and the division headquarters was located in Daye County. "The 1st Brigade of the Special Operations Division is responsible for the main attack, and the 2nd Brigade is responsible for blocking the perimeter, including the waterway, and absolutely not a single Japanese is allowed to be spared. The big marshal said, the Japanese don't leave any of them! Kill them all! The cold rain murderous subordinates issued orders, and that night, the troops entered the predetermined combat positions.
Early the next morning, several gunboats drove up the Han River, startling the observation post of the 2nd Brigade, which was responsible for cutting off the waterway. If you look closely, you will see that there are gunboats flying the five-color flag, a total of eleven ships. It turned out that Fang Dashuai sent a temporary Yangtze River detachment to add a little bargaining chip to Leng Yu.
The temporary commander of the fleet was Lin Yongmo, and the eleven river gunboats lined up in a long snake formation, all the gun suits were down, and the guns were facing the iron ore wharf on the river bank. Daye iron ore mines are mostly in mountainous areas, among which the Japanese army has fortifications in Jianshan, Lion Mountain, Elephant Trunk Mountain, and Jianlin Mountain. The special operations troops, who have been staring at Daye Iron Mine for a while, have already reconnoitred the situation inside the iron mine many times. I still have a good understanding of the position of the Japanese army.
The main force of the Japanese army was deployed in Lion Rock, which was one of the open-pit mines and was the focus of the Japanese defense. Leng Yu boarded the ship to meet Lin Yongmo, put forward his own operational ideas, concentrated artillery fire to bombard the Japanese positions in Lion Rock, broke through in the middle with the strength of one regiment, and outflanked one regiment on both flanks. In the shortest possible time, take Lion Rock. After taking the main position of the Japanese army, the positions garrisoned by other small units are much simpler.
Lin Yongmo said that he was here to help, and he listened to the greeting of the army brothers. With that, cooperation is simple.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the cold rain, with the absolute superiority of troops, calmly surrounded Daye Iron Mine. Subsequently, according to the number provided by the artillery, more than a dozen 105-caliber guns and dozens of other guns opened fire together, bombarding the Japanese positions. Immediately two artillery regiments of the special operations division opened fire.
Before launching the attack, Wang Mazi, the battalion commander of the middle assault, called the regiment commander and asked: "There are a lot of Chinese workers in the mine, what should I do?" β
After reporting layer by layer, when he arrived at Leng Yu, Leng Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said coldly: "Try not to be injured by mistake, if the Japanese army takes the workers hostage and turns a blind eye, it is enough to kill all the Japanese to avenge them." β
The heavy artillery fire continued for an hour before gradually ceased, and a sharp whistle sounded. The special operations brigade commandos formed a skirmish formation and quickly launched attacks on various predetermined targets.
