The "Yantai Massacre" infuriated the Chinese people, and both the north and the south lodged stern protests against the Chinese people.

The situation in Shandong suddenly became tense, and more than 100,000 troops of the Southern Army were stationed in Shandong, and soon moved to the vicinity of the garrison of the Yue Army to form a military confrontation. At the same time, the second Jiangsu-class battleship Fujian, completed at the Jiujiang Shipyard, quickly sailed to the Sanduao Naval Base. The Fuzhou armored heavy cruiser and more than a dozen old warships were anchored in the port of Shanghai.

The entire Nanjing political axe control area is in an atmosphere of impending rain.

In the headquarters of the Nanjing Governor's Palace, it was busy.

"It is said that Ben took advantage of the world war to seize Germany's interests in Shandong, and carried out bloody massacres and plundering of Chinese civilians in Shandong at the beginning, causing more than 50,000 civilian casualties in China. But at that time, it was calm with only a trace of waves, but now the 'Yantai tragedy' is known to the world, and there are many photos, and it is impossible for outsiders to obtain so much first-hand information. "Wu's enemy army division pointed out his conspiracy in a categorical manner.

Yang Yongtai said with a sad face: "It's really a tree that wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop." Shandong has just belonged to the commander-in-chief, and if it is not handled well, it will be troublesome to govern Shandong in the future. But I am fierce and savage, and it is not easy to solve it. In the negotiations, Ben insisted that they were attacked, the soldiers fought back in self-defense, and the great powers also hung high. ”

Li Bufan sneered: "Since it doesn't make sense, then you can only speak on the battlefield." ”

Yang Yongtai was taken aback, and hurriedly persuaded: "Commander-in-chief, by all means, our development time is too short, and it is really not suitable for a decisive battle with Yuben at present, and I also ask the commander-in-chief to bear with it for a while, and then make plans after the whole country is unified and the strength is stronger." ”

Li Bufan and Wu Di smiled at each other, as long as there was no major war between the north and the south, they were also preparing to attack Yue Ben and first remove the biggest obstacle to the abolition of unequal treaties. The biggest obstacle is, of course, the book of words, because it is possible to send troops nearby, but the great powers are all fighting in the ocean, and the war in the ocean cannot be sustained, so the most important thing to worry about is the book.

Wu Di laughed and said: "It's not the husband's doing. If we retreat at this time, the morale of our people will be dealt a huge blow, leaving the people with the shadow that our army is afraid of themselves and cannot defeat them. ”

Li Bufan said solemnly: "It's time to settle the grievances in the middle of the year, and if you want to fight, then fight!" ”

Yang Yongtai dissuaded again and again, and persuaded him bitterly, but Li Bufan and Wu Enemy had already made a big plan, even if they said that they would not fight, they would force them to fight. The time for the development of Nanjing's political axe is too short, and the strength is indeed not enough to consume the capital in the heyday of the development of the world war windfall, but who let the Wu enemy's army division be a traverser? It is precisely because we can't beat it that we have to fight at this time, and use the natural power of heaven and earth to hit the capital in one fell swoop, and from then on, the strength and weakness will be translocated.

On August 21, 1923, due to the inconclusive diplomatic negotiations of the "Yantai Massacre" and the incompetence of Yanjing, Nanjing announced the establishment of the Nanjing Political Axe, and Li Bufan temporarily served as the provisional president, took the oath of office at the Yuhuatai Martyrs' Shrine, and declared war on Yueben.

"A political axe that can only protest will not be able to lead our Chinese nation to rejuvenation. If we ignore the slaughter of our compatriots, what difference do we have from the rotten Manchu political axe? Since there is no difference, what is the point of overthrowing the Manchu Qing to achieve a republic and establish the Republic of China? If diplomacy can't solve it, then we will solve it in other ways. Our Republic of China and Yue Ben are both members of the Entente, and for the victory of the war, more than 200,000 strong men were invested to fight in Europe, but what kind of treatment did we get? Our interests have been usurped, our people have been slaughtered, and we have never been considered allies, because we are weak. Since the world does not believe in justice, and the world believes that the truth is within the range of the cannon, then we will use the cannon to safeguard the sovereign interests of the Republic of China and defend our people."

"In my capacity as the Provisional President of the Republic of China, I hereby declare that the Republic of China is about to enter a state of war. This will be a long and arduous war, and we will fight a protracted war with our country, which is far superior in strength, and our country has the advantage of being a vast territory and a large number of people. As soon as this battle is opened, there is no distinction between north and south, and all young and old have the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the war, every inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood, if they do not defeat the army, they will not stop the army, and those who dare to speak up will be punished for treason, and they will be killed! ”

Li Bufan's "iron-blooded declaration" shocked the Chinese and foreign reporters who came to the Yuhuatai Martyrs' Shrine to watch the ceremony, and everyone never dreamed that as soon as Li Bufan took the oath of office, he would immediately declare war on Yue, and he would fight against Yueben at all costs.

"All officers and soldiers take the oath!" Wu's enemy army shouted loudly.

Li Bufan, Li Hengshan, Li Huashan, and the officers and men who had assembled troops in Nanjing to come to Yuhuatai all raised their right fists.

"I swear: my generation of soldiers, to protect the family and defend the country as their own responsibility. Today, I will invade my territory and kill my compatriots, my generation of soldiers will perform their military duties, fight bravely, and sincerely pray to the gods of the mountains and rivers, I will go out to meet the enemy, defend the land left by my ancestors, and defend the dignity of my China. Spring and Autumn are righteous, Han and thieves are not separated, born as a soldier, and died as a military soul"

Tens of thousands of officers and men took the oath, and a large number of cadets who had temporarily graduated from the academy were impressively listed, and their voices were like a bell, deafening, and their morale was soaring and murderous.

Due to the inaction of the central political axe of Yanjing, Nanjing announced that it was no longer qualified to lead China, and established the Nanjing Provisional Political Axe, officially declaring war on Yueben. Because a powerful warlord local power is not qualified to declare war on another country under international law, if Nanjing wants to declare war, it must obtain the name of political axe.

What the world never expected was that Li Bufan took the oath of office with the front foot, and directly declared war on the back foot, so resolute that he left no room for it. Even the delegates who were still negotiating at the Paris Peace Conference were shocked.

"Let's go!" Li Songshan put down the telegram in his hand and gave a decisive order.

"Woohoo!" Countless red flares were lifted into the air.

On the Chinese garrison position 10 kilometers away from the garrison of the Fifth Division of the Jimo Army, 27 diesel heavy trucks were parked in an open area, and 12 huge pipes on each truck pointed to the various garrison concentration areas and important positions of the Fifth Division.

A red flare rises into the air and the flag is waved.

The rear of the pipe on the "boom" truck sprayed a flood of fire, and one after another huge missiles roared through the air with tail flames, and in the blink of an eye, it seemed that the entire position was shrouded in fire and gunsmoke, and the huge shock wave set off dust all over the sky.

The sharp whistling sound of missiles shook the heavens and the earth, and more than two minutes later, the position of the Fifth Division of the Chinese Army was instantly submerged in violent explosions and firelight

Kishimoto Kataro served as the division commander of the Fifth Division only half a month ago, and he was receiving an urgent telegram from the Cabinet of Saymoto, which actually informed Nanjing to announce the establishment of a political axe and declared war on Saymoto, and he smiled contemptuously at the officers of the division headquarters: "Shina actually declared war on the Empire? Hahaha, gentlemen, don't you think this is a very ridiculous thing? ”

"Hahaha!" Kishimoto Kataro's words made the officers and men of the Fifth Division laugh, and in their eyes, the middle [***] team was simply vulnerable.

However, there was a sudden sharp roar in the sky, which made everyone's faces change, and the sound was overwhelming, as if the end of the world was coming, and many officers immediately rushed out of the headquarters, and they saw a large number of "shooting stars" flying towards the position of the garrison, and there was a tail flame.

Kishimoto Kataro held the binoculars and clearly saw that it was not a meteor, but a strange cannonball with a tail flame, and his face changed drastically at the moment, and he shouted: "Enemy attack!" ”

However, the missile had already fallen, and the violent explosion suddenly erupted like a volcano, and the earth shook as if the end of the world was really coming, and the whole earth trembled violently, and the shock wave brought by the explosion raged, flying sand and rocks.

One of the bombs exploded more than 200 meters away from the regimental headquarters of the fierce division, and the debris splashed injured many officers who went out to inspect the division and regimental headquarters, and two of them were directly blown up by the larger stones and turned into corpses. And Kishimoto Kataro himself was hit in the chest and abdomen by a piece of blown wood, and the huge force knocked him into the air, and he fell directly into the headquarters, and blood sprayed wildly.

Kishimoto Kataro didn't die, but he didn't know how many ribs were broken in his chest and abdomen, and his face was like dirt in an instant, and he trembled and howled: "Giant, giant cannon, it's a giant cannon of China!" ”

What kind of cannon can be called a giant cannon? That is, a cannon of more than 200 millimeters. As a high-ranking officer, Kishimoto Kataro had the privilege of inspecting the navy's live-fire training of naval guns, and he believed that the shell just now was not at all weaker than the shelling power of the 300-millimeter cannon.

Although there is a saying that "new soldiers are afraid of guns, veterans are afraid of guns", this is not necessarily, it depends on what kind of artillery. If it is a giant cannon, then what it brings to the officers and soldiers on the battlefield is absolutely despair, the destructive power of the giant cannon is very terrifying, but the most terrible thing is the sound wave vibration detonated by the explosion, a shell of a 300-millimeter cannon can make the officers and soldiers in a range as large as half a football field survive, and they are shocked to death if they are not killed, and all the internal organs are shattered.

Kishimoto Kataro's heart was full of despair, he was sure that this was definitely a conspiracy, a conspiracy against the surname to annihilate their elite army, he could vaguely distinguish the sound of the explosion, he judged that in just one minute, the Fifth Division suffered more than 300 giant artillery shells of more than 300 mm, judging by the time of the cannon firing that he knew, there was an unprecedented and terrifying heavy artillery group on the Chinese side opposite their 5th Division, at least more than 150 pieces, or even 300 300 mm guns. Although he thought that this was simply ridiculous, because in his judgment, against a division, let alone 300 huge cannons, even 30 can blow a division of iron into flying ashes.

However, the Chinese side was not prepared to give them a way out, and the loud horn of the charge sounded, and the first to rush to the position of the army was a group of steel and hideous chariots, followed by a dense army
