As a result, Shiraishi Tomohisa made full use of this blind spot in the thinking of the officers and men of the ships in Qingdao Port, and when the supreme commander of the Qingdao Navy, who could not bear it anymore, sent someone to send an ultimatum demanding that the army immediately release the captured marines, Shiraishi Tomohisa suddenly had a plan

Although the Army did not agree to release all the prisoners of war at once, it was very satisfying for the Navy to be able to return 20 percent of the prisoners first, after all, their request to shell the mutiny had not yet been agreed to by the Admiralty. As for the army's request to "get out of Qingdao", although the navy did not accept it, it still agreed to place those released prisoners of war on the warship. It was very fortunate that so many of his people had been caught, and the naval guns were not allowed to fire, so he was able to get some of the people back, especially after the efforts of the Navy representatives, the army also agreed to return the weapons of those prisoners of war, which left a little face for the Navy

However, they did not expect that the "marines" "released" by the other side were actually all army officers and soldiers in disguise, because they were calculated or unintentional, and the combat effectiveness of the army infantry in close combat was far stronger than that of the navy ships who basically did not use guns and grenades, among which the flagship of the Japanese naval detachment in the harbor, the Kongo-class battleship "Haruna", bore the brunt, and the deck was immediately occupied by the enemy, and the new commander, Vice Admiral Nagumo Tadaichi (due to the butterfly effect, this guy was promoted to vice admiral a year ahead of schedule, He was transferred to Qingdao as the commander of the task force, and his task was to rely on the advantages of naval artillery to prevent the 15th Army from attacking Qingdao and the neighboring Weihai and other places in the south. They were caught red-handed, and some of the officers and men on the ship, who saw the opportunity quickly, hurriedly hid in closed structures such as turrets and hid. So. The army could not quickly master the warships, and once the uncontrolled warships shelled the "Haruna", the battleships were not well armoured, and the officers and men of the army who had no shelter on the deck would be a living target

However, the so-called "fully enclosed" turrets of this era did not yet have the concept of "three defenses," not to mention that chemical weapons were generally almost impossible to use in naval warfare, so the officers and men of the Japanese Navy generally lacked training in guarding against poison gas. But Shiraishi Tomohisa thought of the poison gas bombs in the warehouse this time, and brought some over to face the devils who hid in the turret as a shrunken turtle. Just trigger the time-delay fuse and throw it into the vent, and the devils inside will quickly want to die

In fact, the Kongo-class battleships are not without anti-poison devices. But it was used to deal with the poison gas bombs fired by the enemy, and when they encountered this method of throwing the gas bombs directly into the cabin, which was tantamount to locking themselves in the turret, how could the officers and men on the ship deal with it?

As a result, after a while, the officers and soldiers on the ship who had just hid in the turret or other closed compartments were choked to death, so they had to take the initiative to open the hatch and surrender, speaking of which Shiraishi Tomohisa was quite kind (in fact, he was afraid that it would be difficult to clean up afterwards), and used phosgene that stimulates the respiratory tract instead of mustard gas that erodes the skin, otherwise the devil will come out, and this life will be over

Even in the Japanese Navy, where courage was never comparable to that of the Army, Vice Admiral Tadaichi Nagumo was never a brave general. What's more, he still thinks that it is just "internal strife" now, and the will to resist is even weaker, and before Shiraishi Tomohisa has used the legendary "Ten Tortures of the Manchu Dynasty", this guy obediently ordered all ships to stop resisting and surrender to the army. However, the first surrender order was originally only the prestige of Vice Admiral Nagumo Tadaiichi who had just arrived, and most of the captains did not listen to his random orders at all. But let these captains risk killing the commander by mistake to attack the "Haruna", and they are generally not so bold. What's more, even if the army can't operate warships, the super thick armor of the Kongo-class battleships alone is not something that their main guns can easily penetrate, and even if they really sink, the Admiralty will blame them for sinking the Empire's precious capital ship afterwards. Therefore, those ships that failed to seize the army all chose to "escape", so that no matter how the Qingdao mutiny ended, they were all meritorious...,

But the boilers of these warships have not yet been heated (heavy oil boilers are much faster than coal-fired boilers, but it takes time. The battleship "Haruna" opened fire with eight 360mm caliber guns. To say that these huge cannons are inseparable from the assistance of machinery because of the large caliber, and it is difficult for the army's artillery to get started in a short period of time, but isn't there a ready-made gunner on this ship now? Although most of them were uncooperative at first, after Shiraishi Tomohisa smiled and asked one of them to rip off his pants, took out a claw hammer and made two strokes at the man's lifeline, intending to conduct a "broken egg" experiment, all the ship's gunners collapsed, and one by one they all returned to their original posts in obedience

Because Shiraishi Tomohisa's goal was not to sink as many warships as possible, but only to prevent them from escaping, he directly targeted the largest of the fleeing warships in order to intimidate the officers and men of each ship to the greatest extent. Due to Shiraishi Tomohisa's warning (if all the salvo shots missed, one of the gunners would be selected as a "broken egg"), the gunners of the battleship "Haruna" were all seriously aiming, and the two ships were too close to each other, and both were still moored in the harbor and did not start, so the hit rate was ridiculously high, and six of the eight large-caliber shells actually hit the target, and as a result, the light cruiser with a displacement of more than 5,000 tons was immediately blown into several sections and sank to the bottom of the sea in a loud noise that spread for dozens of miles

In the meantime, a destroyer and a minesweeper tried to escape, but they were quickly sent to the bottom of the sea by the secondary guns of the "Haruna", and the main guns did not even get a chance to perform again. Seeing this, the rest of the warships in the harbor had to give up their illusions, honestly put out the boilers and surrender to the army. At this point, Shiraishi Tomohisa sank three naval ships and captured thirteen ships (including non-combat ships such as supply ships) with more than 1,000 casualties (37 Japanese casualties), and captured no less than 3,000 naval officers and men below Vice Admiral Nagumo Tadaichi. At about the same time as the guns of the battleship "Haruna" were fired, the Qingdao Army, which had long been preparing for a surprise attack on the special airfield of the HNA Army, captured a large number of HNA pilots and captured more than 80 HNA planes.

After a series of dizzying victories, Shiraishi Tomohisa, who planned this series of schemes, was fanatically admired by the officers and soldiers of the Japanese Army in Qingdao, especially ordinary soldiers, but whether it was him, or Matsumoto Shingo and Nakanishi Gong, who took the initiative to retreat behind the scenes, were under great pressure at this time, and this matter became bigger and bigger, how should Zuihou end?
