WWXOM Chapter 207 The Battle of Ipar in Advance

Fang Jianxiong bit it to death and was willing to deliver the goods until cash, and Kudashev had no choice. If he could, Kudashev would have been tempted to knock the bastard over with one punch, and then kick him one or two hundred times to vent his hatred. The reality is that only Fang Jianxiong in the whole world can take out 500,000 rifles at one time, not to mention that this rifle is a backward weapon of German reserve equipment, and you have nowhere to buy it. The war in Europe is like a huge devouring beast, and in just one month, the Russian army has swallowed up half a million troops and a large number of equipment.

Kudashev could only stubbornly agree: "Okay, I will report this matter to China, and in addition, I want to ask, what is the price of technology transfer of mortars and light machine guns?" ”

"Three million yuan for mortars and two million yuan for light machine guns, give you a preferential price." When Fang Jianxiong laid down the knife, he was really not soft at all. Kudashev pressed the ** who started the Haibian guy again, didn't bother to bargain, and nodded: "Wait for the news, there will be a reply in a week at the latest." ”

The ministers of the two countries left, and each went back to his or her own government to complain. After sending these two away, Fang Jianxiong received an urgent telegram that the Japanese navy was shelling Qingdao, and the two sides were engaged in an artillery battle. At the same time, he also received a call from Beijing, and Jiang Fangzhen went south to Jinan. I didn't say anything specific, it must be a matter of military affairs.

When the battle reached this point, it would be boring for Fang Jianxiong to continue to stay in Shandong. It was decided to return to Jinan overnight. Regarding the Japanese Navy's retaliatory shelling of Qingdao, Fang Jianxiong was really not worried at all. That place in Qingdao, a fortress built by the Germans, is not so easy to bargain for. Besides, hitting a fortress with a battleship is a very stupid thing in itself, the Japanese Navy is not an army, and it is still very difficult to find a fool. Such a frantic move by the Japanese Navy came out of a desire to save face. At the same time, it should also be the intention of the Japanese government.

After simply forming a general impression in his mind, Fang Jianxiong had some worries about the future direction of the Sino-Japanese war. This is probably the reason why Jiang Fangzhen urgently went south. In the original Battle of Qingdao, the plan was to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in a small part and force it to retreat in the face of difficulties. It's a pity that all the bigwigs in the military, including Fang Jianxiong, underestimated the arrogance of the Japanese army. Tens of thousands of Japanese troops rushed forward, giving Fang Jianxiong a chance to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army's left group. Throughout history, the Japanese army was during the Anti-Japanese War. has not done this kind of thing less, he will go deep alone at every turn, and the one who enters the customs first at every turn is the king. There are many such lessons, but the Japanese army just won't change them. It was not until the outbreak of the Pacific War that the Japanese army restrained itself in this mistake.

With the madness of the Japanese government and army, even if the Battle of Qingdao was hit hard, it is estimated that it will not stop there. The military intelligence bureau has not received information for a long time, which makes Fang Dashuai a little anxious.

The convoy returned directly to Weifang, and it was already more than ten o'clock at night when they arrived at the place, and Cai Ye came out to greet him. "Supporting the country. Brother Baili is worried that the Japanese will suffer losses in Qingdao. I want to get it back somewhere else. It is feared that this war will expand, and no matter how bad it is, the Japanese Government will certainly seek an honorable end. ”

Cai Yi's worries were not superfluous, and Fang Jianxiong's judgment was the same. "How is the Japanese army on the Qingdao side moving now?"

Seeing Fang Jianxiong's face as usual, Cai Ye secretly admired his composure and said with a smile: "According to the observation of the aviation team. The Yamanchu Division had built fortifications near Yangkou and had no intention of withdrawing, and the Japanese government continued to send supplies by sea. It will be for a while. The Anman division will not be withdrawn, there is no large wharf near Yangkou, and if Anman wants to withdraw, there is not half a month of time. ”

"Map!" Fang Jianxiong stopped, and in the courtyard he sent a map to study the Air Force with Cai Ng, and after examining it, Cai Que smiled and said: "This Anman is really no one, the troops are shrinking in an area of less than three kilometers, this is the artillery that bullies our army and is afraid of the Japanese navy's naval guns." ”

"Our army is equipped with a 50mm field howitzer of 2 times the caliber of the German army, and the maximum firing range is only more than 7,000 meters, and the 05mm can only hit more than 6,000 meters, which is not as far as the Bofors 75 mountain gun." Cai Ye crooked his mouth, compared to the caliber heavy artillery on the Japanese warship, which can easily hit more than 10,000 meters, the army's artillery is indeed insufficient.

Fang Dashuai remembered a certain novel, using the army's cannon to hit the bridge section of the warship, and shook his head with a wry smile helplessly. Forget it, the Anman division retreated to the seaside, and his idea was really to use the Japanese naval guns as a target.

"Then let the air team attack, use all the planes that can be sent, and blow up the damn one. Speaking of this, it is necessary to intensify the development of aircraft. "Fang Jianxiong is very painful, that is, the current position of the Third Division is very dangerous, but he just can't do anything about the Third Division. Japan's powerful navy once again became a wound in Fang Jianxiong's heart.

Fang Jianxiong did not stay in Weifang and returned to Jinan by train overnight. When he returned to Jinan the next morning, Jiang Fangzhen had already arrived one step ahead and was waiting at Jinan Railway Station.

"Fuguo, has the Military Intelligence Bureau reported the latest movements of the Japanese army?" Jiang Fangzhen couldn't wait to ask, Fang Jianxiong shook his head and said: "There is no latest military report at present, Zhao Yu called to say that the martial law level of the Japanese army in Korea and Lushun has been raised. It's hard for our people to find out something, and even if they do, it's hard to send it out. ”

"Where did the reinforcements of the three divisions of the Japanese army go? Have you thought about this question? Jiang Fangzhen was worried, the three Japanese divisions should not be underestimated, this is a very powerful force. The battle of Qingdao has certain particularities, and Fang Dashuai has been preparing for many years, and has been hoarding ammunition and deploying troops in Shandong, and the fortifications are also rested in advance. Coupled with the forts built by the Germans, it can be said that this is a typical battle of prepared versus unprepared. With an absolutely superior force, the arrogant division of the Japanese army was defeated, and the results were gratifying, but it was not the time to be happy.

"If it's going to the Northeast, I'm not very worried. If it's Tianjin, it's a bit of a hassle. In the area of Tianjin, we have no garrison, the nearest garrison is in Langfang, and there is only one B division. This is the strong advantage of the Japanese navy, which can quickly assemble in Northeast China or Tianjin. As he spoke, Fang Jianxiong frowned, Jiang Fangzhen rushed to Jinan, and still reminded Fang Jianxiong of a small flaw in the deployment of the war in a timely manner, and there was no air team around Tianjin.

It's not too late to make amends. Fang Jianxiong immediately said: "Immediately let the flight squadron deployed in Nanyuan prepare to fly to Langfang, as long as the weather is not a problem, you can't stop reconnaissance during the day." "I thought in time that there was still a flying squadron in Nanyuan, and at the same time reminded Fang Jianxiong that we should also increase our air power in the northeast, not to mention anything else, reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance are both sharp weapons.

The two have worked together for many years, and Jiang Fangzhen, who is good at strategy, knows Japan quite well. His construction can not be ignored naturally.

"It is enough for Qingdao to leave five divisions, and the rest of the troops will immediately go north. At least two B divisions were deployed in Langfang, and the rest of the troops were deployed near Beijing. If the Japanese army dares to land from Tianjin, it can also transfer troops from the northeast. The only fear was that the Japanese would sabotage the railway. Jiang Fangzhen built again, Fang Jianxiong shook his head after a little thought: "The troops in the Northeast can't move, inform Runnong that Japan does not have many troops in the Northeast and Korea, and it is completely possible to forcibly requisition some sections of the two railways under the jurisdiction of Japan in the name of military use." It creates the false impression that our army is going southward in a big way. In order to confuse the Japanese army, they did not dare to send troops to Tianjin. ”

Fang Jianxiong's meaning, Jiang Fangzhen quickly reacted. The northeast can only rely on the Jinyu railway, which has a powerful navy, and Japan can land near Qinhuangdao at any time to cut off the railway.

"Okay, I'll go back and deploy. I'm really not at ease if I don't come here, since I have already had a countermeasure to help the country, I have made up my mind. Jiang Fangzhen was very satisfied with this result and said that he would return to Beijing immediately.

"Let's go on the road together, I also want to go back to Beijing to sit in the town, and I can't be a deserter when the Japanese may threaten Beijing."

In the European theater, just as the British, Belgian, and French allied forces were preparing to launch the Battle of Ipar, history took a big turn. Historically, because of the actions of the Russian army on the Eastern Front, the German army was forced to transfer a large number of troops to the Eastern Front. At this time and space, the German army in the retreat of the Second Army excellent resistance, the German army's losses are much less than parallel time and space, and at the same time, the troops transferred to the Eastern Front are far less than in history, only one Guards Army was transferred to meet the support needs of the East Prussian campaign and Austria-Hungary.

In this way, on the premise that the German army did not suffer much loss in the strength of the Western Front, the intelligence department showed an excellent performance, discovered the situation of the assembly and preparation of the Triple Alliance, and reported it to the German General Staff in a timely manner. After analysis, the German General Staff decided to strike preemptively and launch an attack on the British troops that were gathering in the Ipar area before the arrival of the French troops.

In the early morning of September 26, the German army began to prepare for fierce artillery fire, this time the artillery preparation lasted for 24 hours, bombarded for a day and a night, and millions of shells beat the British and Belgian troops to the wolf.

At six o'clock in the morning of the 27th, the nightmare of the British army began. The Germans had accumulated more than 300 tanks for a period of time, all of which were put into the battlefield of Ipar. The use of tanks by the German army did not have any new tricks, that is, copying the Chinese play, the tanks covered the infantry, and the artillery made a barrage about 500 meters ahead. Guderian is still a rookie, and he doesn't know where to be a second lieutenant. So this time it didn't matter to him. The Germans were based on the tactics invented by the French, and the British pioneered the use of tanks as powerful assault weapons, which opened the curtain on the Battle of Ipar in advance.

Although the British army had built a considerable number of strong fortifications, the British army, like the German army in history, was as panicked and helpless as the German army in the European theater for the first time.
