Chapter 748: The Battle Tide Changes

"Confrontation under Disadvantage, the Game of the Brave - The Second Battle of the Yellow Sea" This is Edgar. Snow sent a report to the Washington Post.

Interviews were conducted with Shen Honglie, commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht Navy, and captains of various participating fleets. "Despite the huge losses, this navy has not flinched. The result was the retreat of the Japanese Navy, for which the Japanese Navy lost a large number of fighters. And the Wehrmacht's operations finally put the current control of the Yellow Sea in their hands......"

"Maybe it's better than the last one, but in the end it was still a fiasco! This is a report by the Asahi Shimbun. It says above.

"I don't see what kind of victory this is, can a ship that has been sunk more than two-thirds of it be called a victory?! Maybe Chapter 748 The battle situation has changed, this is a spiritual victory of self-comfort after defeat! ”

Compared to the Asahi Shimbun, the Yomiuri Shimbun is more strident.

"Temporarily controlled the Yellow Sea?! That would be based on the fact that they still have ships to sail and protect the shipping lanes, but unfortunately we don't see that right now. Some verbal victories do not change the fact that the losses are huge, and if the war starts again, will the crippled navy still have the ability to fight again?! ”

Surprisingly, the Central News Agency, which had moved to Wuhan, did not report on the war at all. Jiang Zhongzheng did not scold Niang Pixi again, but locked himself in the office and did not come out for a whole day.

The fact that the Central News Agency did not report it did not mean that other newspapers would not report it, and people once again saw the news of the victory of the Wehrmacht, and the whole country was full of cheers!

The Second Army, which was directly subordinate to the Wehrmacht in Nanjing, also shouted victory.

That night, Navy Marshal Sa Zhenbing, who had emigrated to the three eastern provinces, had a rare start to drink and invited Shen Honglie, commander of the National Defense Navy, Chen Haihua, commander of the Air Force, Tu Qianjun, commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, Yan Zhengqing, chief of the three eastern provinces, and Yang Ziren, deputy governor-in-chief, to his home.

Sa Zhenbing opened the Fenjiu that he had treasured for many years and was reluctant to drink, and in Chapter 748, the battle situation changed and he got drunk with everyone! The old man with tears in his face sprinkled a few glasses of water and wine in the direction of the Yellow Sea, and burst into tears.

"The sky does not live up to me, and China should rise up! Rise!! This was the last wild cry from the old man's mouth when he was drunk. After graduating from Purdue University in the United States with a bachelor's degree in engineering, Sappho was appointed Minister of Railways of the three eastern provinces, and helped his father up.

He bowed deeply to everyone and helped the old father back to his room to rest.

"We, the navy, have finally lived up to the old marshal's question...... Shen Honglie was extremely excited, poured himself a glass of wine, and said to Tu Qianjun.

"Commander, I have seen a huge gap between us and the Japanese Navy in this battle!" saw Shen Honglie saying sadly to Tu Qianjun.

"Did we win?! To be honest, I don't think we won. Two-thirds of the ships were damaged in the battle, and even the main forces are now all forced to overhaul. The Japanese in the Yellow Sea will not come for the time being, but we will not even be able to take out a small plank! ”

Shen Honglie said, his lips trembling and he poured himself another glass of wine.

"With the casualties of more than 4,000 officers and soldiers, our navy elite can be described as a heavy loss! Spread it out, without the support of the Air Force, where can we fight this battle?! ”

Air Force Commander Chen Haihua couldn't help but smile and wave his hand when he heard Shen Honglie's words. But Shen Honglie raised his wine glass and said in a deep voice: "Old Chen, we are all old acquaintances!" I'm not hypocritical, if it weren't for the Air Force this time, our Navy would really be planted! ”

It's all said and done, how can Chen Haihua not express it?! He stood up and raised his wine glass, touched it with Shen Honglie, and drank it all!

"This battle shows us the shortcomings of the navy, and at the same time, it also shows us the great role of the air force in naval warfare." Shen Honglie put down his wine glass and said to everyone.

"Aircraft carriers! Future wars will inevitably involve joint operations between aircraft carriers and destroyers. The destroyer will be responsible for protecting the aircraft carrier, and the fighters taking off from the aircraft carrier will be responsible for the specific attack! ”

Shen Honglie's words attracted everyone, but he saw that Shen Honglie had a good time to say to everyone.

"I observed that if our fighters can have an aircraft carrier landing platform, then they can quickly change their weapons. It was possible to use fish and bombs to carry out non-stop attacks on Japanese warships. In my opinion, not a single Japanese battleship was able to escape a large area of bombardment. ”

"Damn! I said, Lao Shen, how could this guy be so kind to toast me, I have been doing it for a long time, this is the cubs who are eyeing Lao Tzu! Chen Haihua heard Shen Honglie's words, and then scolded with a smile: "Your old Shen's wine is not good......

"Hahaha...... Or Lao Chen understands me, don't say much! Ten pilots in a glass of wine, I want to have combat experience! Shen Honglie opened his mouth unceremoniously, while Chen Haihua gave him a roll of his eyes.

"Your aircraft carriers have not landed! When you really have it, you will come to Lao Tzu to ask for someone. ”

The high-level leaders of the defense force in Mukden were chatting, while the war situation in Tianjin and Shandong had undergone earth-shaking changes. After an urgent march, the Wehrmacht broke through the Japanese resistance and finally arrived in Tianjin.

"Whoosh...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom ......" Seeing that the Japanese troops attacking their positions were overturned by a burst of rapid artillery fire, Song Zheyuan and Tong Linge suddenly burst into tears.

The 29th Army was fighting too hard, and the 29th Army, which had been reorganized into the First Army during this time, had already lost nearly three-fifths of the battle. The martial artists and young men of Jinmen spontaneously joined the troops of the 29th Army, which made the position barely hold.

If the Wehrmacht doesn't come again, Song Zheyuan even plans to die here to count the ball!

Song Zheyuan's own ideological struggle cannot be described as fierce. He gave the order to retreat several times, but several times chased the adjutant back and burned the order.

He wavered, but after Tong Linge's words, he finally chose to stick to it.

"Mingxuan, let's not talk about the team, let's talk about what you hope our sons, grandsons and what we do will be evaluated after a hundred years?!" In the headquarters, Tong Linge looked at Song Zheyuan and said in a deep voice: "Running away general?!" Rout?! ”

"Zhang Hanqing now belongs to the National Defense Army, and the Double Twelve Incident can be regarded as gaining him a little reputation. But in the face of the Japanese, he lost the three eastern provinces in one go, which is a stain that cannot be washed away for a lifetime, a few lifetimes, or even an eternity! ”

Tong Linge's words made Song Zheyuan finally choose to stay and defend it.

"We can't let future generations poke our backbones and scold us for betraying the country!!" Tong Linge said bitterly: "Tang Shengzhi lost Nanjing, and Jiang Zhongzheng ordered to give it up, which has been recorded in the history books!" What reputation do you think they'll have?! When it comes to this, do you think their children and grandchildren will be able to raise their heads?! ”

After several days of fighting, the Japanese fighters finally stopped sorting. And the Wehrmacht's fighter losses were too great, and they were basically in a state of repair.

The ground forces could only rely on the broken guns of the 29th Army to withstand it. In such a situation, the high level of war damage can be imagined. Fortunately, except for those who volunteered to stay and help, all the people in Tianjin City fled the famine, which gave the 29th Army a chance to fight in the streets.

Street fighting, on the one hand, contributed to the defense of the 29th Army. At least here, the 29th Army could withstand the Japanese attack by fighting at close range. The complex geographical environment also made it impossible for the Japanese army to exert its heavy artillery firepower.

Even so, if the Japanese attacked for another two or three days, the 29th Army would be exhausted. Looking at the Japanese army that receded like a tide, Song Zheyuan burst into tears.

He knew that this Tianjin City had finally been saved! But then, Song Zheyuan was afraid for a while. If you take a wrong step and withdraw from Tianjin City, and the Wehrmacht fights back, then you will lose face.

The record of history cannot say that he Song Zheyuan was defeated and retreated. Hold on, but look at the devastated Tianjin City Song Zheyuan's lips trembled and he couldn't speak.

Song Zheyuan didn't know, in fact, he was lucky. Han Fuyu, his old colleague of the Northwest Army, was not so lucky.

"Boom, boom...... Suddenly...... "The Japanese tank" Kerala ...... "came to kill the city of Dezhou", Han Fuyu looked at his few soldiers who were defending the position with red eyes and trembling and roared angrily and grabbed bundles of grenades and pounced.

They were either torn to pieces by the Japanese army's fire net, or they exchanged their own bones for the Japanese army's tracks.

"Inform the troops...... Remove!! Han Fuyu put down the binoculars and roared heart-rending at the adjutant beside him. He knew he couldn't fight.

There was no way to hold it at all, and the Japanese army attacked like crazy. Han Fuyu himself forgot that this was the first time that he had repelled the Japanese attack, but there was no doubt that the Japanese army would attack again.

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom ......" Han Fuyu's troops launched the attack, but then the Japanese heavy artillery bombarded it. The position was dusty in the sound of explosions.

In the sound of the explosion, Han Fuyu boarded the car and rushed to the train station. Since you can't hold it, then let's withdraw! When he arrived in Tianjin, he met with Song Zheyuan and then tried to find a way, but if he couldn't do it, he would move to Baoding.

Didn't Chairman Chiang give the order?! Now, it's time to execute.

When Han Fuyu's bulletproof car slowly drove towards the train station, there was a "buzz......ing" roar of airplanes in the sky!

"Air raids! Take cover! Take cover!! The guards, drivers, adjutants and others quickly took Han Fuyu out of the car and tried to avoid the air raid. But the Japanese planes came very fast, and they had already rushed to the sky above Han Fuyu's bulletproof car in three or two clicks!

The explosion of "boom, boom, boom ......" resounded throughout Texas City. The whole city was in flames!!!
