Chapter 255: It's rare to have a confidant in life

But after all, this is only a stopgap measure, if there is not a sufficient number of regular naval officers and men stationed in time, at least to make basic evasive actions when the devil attacks, these warships will definitely not be able to be saved, and the results of the Pearl Harbor incident in history are enough to explain the problem.

Hu Weidong's first thought was the Kuomintang navy, although the navy lost almost all the ships in the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War, but it was not because they were incapable, but because of the large gap between the strength of the enemy and us. And although their personnel losses since the Anti-Japanese War are not small, there should still be 35,000 people (not counting the marines) now, which is enough for now. However, it was absolutely impossible for the 15 th Army to give the warships that the 15 th Army had worked so hard to snatch to the Kuomintang, and the Kuomintang's secrecy work was simply full of loopholes; once the Red Party informed the national government of the incident, it was estimated that the Japanese army base camp would know what had happened in Qingdao on the same day, and before the Kuomintang naval officers and men who had come to the rescue had not yet arrived in Qingdao, the devils would probably come over first and sink all these warships

So Hu Weidong remembered that the Comintern, with Stalin's "giant ship cannonism" tendency, he would never miss the opportunity to send people to learn about the performance of the main warships of the Japanese army, so it should not be difficult to get some volunteers, but the problem is that although the secrecy between the Comintern and the Soviet Union is good, the distance is too far, and when those volunteers arrive in Qingdao, even if the devils are dull, they should find out the problem, so this group of reinforcements can not be counted on at least for the time being, but it is okay to contact them in advance. After all, the navy of the Kuomintang never had large warships. Relevant experience is necessarily lacking. Besides, this matter must also be reported to the central government

At this time, several leading cadres in the anti-Japanese base area in Shandong mentioned a person's name when they reported to Hu Weidong, but it unexpectedly aroused Hu Weidong's great attention, "Shen Honglie, yes, this guy was originally the commander of the Northeast Navy, and later was absorbed by Lao Jiang and became the commander of the Third Fleet of the National Navy. And now that others are in Shandong, it seems that they can give it a try"

Shen Honglie, chairman of the Shandong Provincial Committee of the Nationalist Government, had a very hard time this year, and he was unwilling to leave Shandong after the devil occupied Qingdao, and he led his troops into the mountains to fight guerrillas, but how could the Nationalist army endure this hardship? It didn't take long for his forces to shrink by more than half. After Hu Weidong sent Chen Xianrui and others eastward to open up anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, the two armies actually grabbed the territory, although Chen Xianrui and others would not grab it hard when they thought of the "united front," but the advantages of mobilizing the masses alone were enough to make Shen Honglie feel pressure, seeing that his territory was shrinking under the blows of the Japanese army, while the base areas of the Red Party were rapidly developing and expanding

After the outbreak of the "Battle of 100 Regiments", the Japanese army in Shandong shifted the focus of encirclement and suppression to the base areas of the Red Party. Shen Honglie, who was relieved, joined several other national armies that had been scattered by the Japanese army but were still persisting in the War of Resistance, and the strength of the army was restored to more than 10,000 people. But Shen Honglie was not happy for a few days, Hu Weidong led the main force of the 15th Army more than 100,000 people into Shandong, the weak-hearted Shen Honglie was afraid that Hu Weidong would settle accounts with him, and hurriedly shrank his forces to protect himself, but it didn't take long to hear the news that the 15th Army had taken Jinan, and then he knew that people were bent on resisting Japan and did not have much attention to fighting for territory. I couldn't help but feel ashamed in my heart. But having said that, when the fifteenth army sent someone to find him, Shen Honglie was still nervous unconsciously, especially after the man asked him to retreat left and right, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the people who came were suspicious...,

However, Shen Honglie couldn't think of any enemy leader in the history of the Red Party. Moreover, although there are occasional frictions between the two parties, they are generally friends who are sincerely united. If you prevaricate too much, it will give the other party an excuse to make trouble, Shen Honglie hesitated for a while, and then waved his hand to signal those more nervous subordinates to withdraw first

"What?" , Shen Honglie immediately exclaimed in surprise after hearing this, and as a result, his tense subordinates outside the door immediately rushed in

Shen Honglie rebuked his subordinates sharply and lowered his voice, "This comrade, what you said is true?" ”

"Believe it or not, anyway, the commander gave me the task of delivering a message, and now that the word is also brought, I will go back", the young man pouted.

"Your commander is not afraid that I will leak this matter?" , Shen Honglie was surprised, but the official letter presented by the other party did prove that he was a staff officer of the 15th Army Headquarters.

"When I came, the commander said, although you have also done some immoral things, but you really love the navy, and you are also sincere in resisting Japan, and you will definitely not let the Chinese navy rebuild Jihua Zhongdao and damage the plan of the War of Resistance", the young man said very unhappily, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this old man was not worthy of the commander's attention.

After leaving the navy, although Shen Honglie has risen step by step over the years, he has never been very happy in his heart, and now when he heard this passage, he suddenly woke up and realized that he really couldn't let go of his deep attachment to the navy, and Hu Weidong had never met him, but he was able to break his heart knot in one word, which made him surprised and happy, and immediately couldn't help but sigh, "Those who know me, General Hu also!" Since he looks up to Shen so much, then even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, Shen will not give up! ”

"These Kuomintang like to talk in such a crepe manner, are they tired!" , The little staff officer was slandered in his heart, but seeing that Shen Honglie planned to accompany him on the road alone, he immediately reminded, "There may still be scattered devils on the road that have not been cleared, it is best to bring some troops on the road together, as long as it does not affect the speed." ”

As soon as Shen Honglie heard this, the doubts in his heart dissipated at all, but he heard the little staff officer add, "It's okay for me to be alone, but I may not be able to protect you." After that, I almost couldn't help but have a seizure on the spot. But now that time is pressing, Shen Honglie, who is eager in his heart, does not dare to delay, and immediately brings more than a dozen cronies on the road together, he has been thinking about it on the way, but he can't figure it out, the devil is obviously under heavy troops in Qingdao Tun, and there is a naval fleet to help, what spell did Hu Weidong use? not only took Qingdao, but also captured the warship of the devil?
