Chapter 76 Who is the Oriole (Part 2)
Outside Yingkou Port.
In the woods.
A slender and upright National Defense Forces officer turned to smile at Zhang Zuolin, and his beautiful face suddenly seemed to bloom like a spring flower: "Captain Zhang, you have cooperated well in this mission."
"Assistant Qin, this is all a matter of humble position." Zhang Zuolin said respectfully, "When the late emperor was there, he kept asking us to go with the flow and see what medicine these people wanted to sell. Now it seems that these Japanese people are really tough, and they have been buried for four years."
"The Secretariat has shown me the archives of this matter," Qin Mingyue, assistant director of the Investigation Bureau, nodded, "Several comrades endured humiliation and dealt with these people, and they were indeed working hard. These situations will be reported truthfully."
"They are all assistants and guide them well." Zhang Zuolin said, "The previous mistakes of my second brother Tang Yulin and third brother Zhang Jinghui..."
"Drug trafficking is a serious crime." Qin Mingyue waved her hand and sighed, and Zhang Zuolin's face turned pale.
Qin Mingyue stared at him and said word by word: "Captain Zhang, you have a bright future, so be cautious when making friends."
She looked at Zhang Zuolin with some difficulty and patted the other party on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Your Majesty has specially approved it and exempted them from prosecution. However, the army is so impatient that it will be spit out the stolen money from these years, and the fines and jail are all exempted. Let's be honest and be a person."
Zhang Zuolin then breathed a sigh of relief and smiled on his face: "Thank you for your kindness."
Qin Mingyue stared at Zhang Zuolin for a long time, and looked straight at Zhang Zuolin as if a thorn was on his back, feeling uncomfortable all over. He was also surprised, thinking that Lao Zhang was also a person who was used to seeing Feng Yue. He was always looked at by such a beautiful woman, and his whole body was weak and hard in the same place. Why did he feel uncomfortable when he was stared at him today?
Qin Mingyue also muttered in her heart: "This Zhang Zuolin, apart from being ruthless and meticulous, did not see any specialness. Why do both His Majesty and the current one treat this person differently?"
Beijing. Xishan Base Camp.
"Your Majesty, the Bureau of Investigation and the National Defense Force have crushed the conspiracy of Japanese spies to wipe out the Japanese and bannermen's silence of the troops." Geng Xuan hurried in with a telegram, his voice faintly excited, "The National Defense Force has also defeated the main force of the bandits and began to search and suppress the enemy in the mountains."
Zheng Yu took a sip of red wine leisurely, nodded, and said softly: "Good. What else is there?"
"Shi Shuai has already boarded the ship, and the mobile fleet is doing the final preparations." Geng Xuan's face was a little excited, "Your Majesty, the time for the decisive battle..."
"Is the airship still unable to reconnaise?" Zheng Yu asked calmly.
"The wind and rain are too heavy, the cumulonimbus clouds are very low, the hydrogen in the airship airbag is too dangerous, and there is conductive metal, it will be finished if it is struck by lightning." Geng Xuan said, "The Navy has sent submarines to take risks to observe, but because the speed is too slow, the enemy's light ship network has a large range, so it is really hard to figure out the specific location and direction of the place."
"It's almost time to go to Yingkou." Du Zhi next to him frowned slightly, "According to calculations, their first wave of landing troops has reached two divisions, and the main force of Fengtian's 28th Division has arrived in Yingkou. In addition, a regiment of the 27th Division, cooperates with the coastal defense artillery, can at least hold on for a while, and wait for the troops behind to reinforce... Now the Japanese attack strength in the direction of Dahuanggou has dropped significantly, and the Marine Corps can draw one or two divisions down..."
"Power generation commendation, no matter what, this time the Investigation Bureau made a contribution, and that Zhang Zuolin did a good job." Zheng Yu said, "The Japanese want to plan in the Bohai Bay and wait for their work. I will give him a trick. Now they have no internal support and are in a dilemma, and they have to protect such a large ship. I think they are almost at the right time."
"Send a report to Xu Shuai, suggesting that the mobile fleet seize the opportunity to go north to fight the enemy." Zheng Yu said in a deep voice, "All departments should cooperate with each other and strive for complete annihilation."
Several people said yes.
At this moment, Yang Yongtai pushed the door and ran in. Zheng Yu was shocked to find that the other party's face was obviously wrong.
"Chang Qing, what's wrong?"
"The Japanese bombarded the railway line from Qinhuangdao Port to Huludao." Yang Yongtai's voice was faintly panicked.
The whole audience changed color.

Beijing. Xishan Base Camp.
Zheng Yu has recovered his calmness. He looked at the devastated accomplices around him and snorted coldly: "What the hell is the empire not yet defeated? The enemy is playing this. It's just a fake move in Yingkou and preparing to land in Huludao Port, cut off the traffic inside and outside of our pass. Entering Jingji is just a landing field. Our troops are still there, the fleet is still there, and the Tianzi No. 1 A case has also made arrangements for this. Everything is in the track, why are you panic?"
Everyone looked at each other and their faces calmed down a little.
"The key now is Jinzhou." Du Zhi frowned and came to the front of the map to gesture, "Jinzhou is close to Huludao. Once it is lost, not only will the railway transportation lines inside and outside the pass be cut off, but the military industry in Jinzhou will also be used by the enemy. Jinzhou-Huludao has become their solid base. From here, the enemy can continuously land on land, invade Yingkou from land, and cooperate with the fleet to capture Yingkou. At that time, the overall situation in the Liaodong Peninsula will be deteriorated."
"Since the Qinhuangdao-Huludao railway was shelled by enemy fleets, the troops in Jingji seemed to be able to take the newly built Beijing-Chengde single-line railway, and the traffic was really limited." Du Zhi said, "The nearest troops to Jinzhou are the 108th Border Defense Division of Qinhuangdao. The 32nd Division stationed in Tangshan, the 33rd Division of Tanggu, and the 5th Cavalry Division of Luanzhou. These three troops were all disbanded because they were involved in the Beijing mutiny too deep. They were still reorganized in the mainland and their combat readiness was not good. Since the First Marine Division headed north, the troops in Tanggu are now the 4th Marine Division and the shore defense artillery that have just been transferred, and they can no longer be transferred."
"But I still have one more worry now." Du Zhi pointed on the map, "If the enemy was firing a shot in Huludao, waiting for our Qinhuangdao garrison to go north to support and defend against the empty defense, and the enemy's main fleet landed on Qinhuangdao, that would be the most terrifying thing."
"The northwest of Qinhuangdao is Shanhaiguan, with a dangerous terrain. On the west side is mountainous and on the east side is a few kilometers of flat land. If the Japanese defend it here, they can block the traffic inside and outside our army, and they can enter the capital at any time. Our empire is shaken all over the line." Du Zhi's words made several people cool from their heels to their heads, but Zheng Yu looked calm, "The Eighth Division is absolutely impossible to move now and can only rely on the troops in the capital."
"Yingkou... Damn little Japanese, he actually put on my side," Zheng Yu snorted, "Order the 27th Division to immediately form a detachment to reinforce the Jinzhou National Defense Forces First Division, the National Defense Forces Second Division, and the Imperial Guards First Division, board the train in this order, take the Beijing-Cheng Railway to Chengde, and then walk from Chengde to Jinzhou train directly in one direction, only go back to the motorized and motorized units, and the cavalry troops take the road from Beijing to Chengde, and then to Jinzhou. We cannot let the Japanese expand their landing strongholds, otherwise we will not lure the enemy but cause fire to be fired. Now every minute is precious, and we must not wait to tell the navy. Even if the weather is not good, we must strengthen reconnaissance and find out the movements of the enemy fleet. Is there any other troops that the Northeast Front can be transferred?"
"The reserve team of the Northeast Front Army has been filled in." Du Zhi sighed, "Except for the raccoon cat..."
"Those troops cannot move yet." Zheng Yu waved his hand, "Immediately ordered Fengtian to draw as many people as possible for the reserve troops and public security forces in the garrison. As soon as possible, the number of ammunition can be transferred, and the speed of boarding the bus to reinforce Jinzhou will be completed. If you finish late, you can bring as much ammunition as possible."
"Telection to Xu Shuai," Zheng Yu said word by word, "The north is in danger, please...be consider it."
Yang Yongtai finished writing and writing, bowed and hurried out.
Du Zhi looked at the red and blue signs on the map, frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
The sky outside the window, a dragon-like lightning glanced at it, approaching, a thunderclap made the glass buzz, and the violent wind blew the raindrops and hit the window. Zheng Yu walked to the window with his hands behind his back, staring at the sky north outside the window, and his face gradually calmed down. He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
At dawn.
After struggling for a long time, Zheng Yu, who had been sleeping hard at some point, was awakened by an anxious cry. He folded his energy and looked at Yang Yongtai in front of him with blood-red eyes: "Chang Qing? What's wrong?"
"War Report" Yang Yongtai sent a telegram, and the anxiety on his face could not be concealed at all. "The Japanese landed in Jinzhou Bay and were the main force of the Japanese-Russian joint fleet, as well as a large number of transport fleets."
Zheng Yu was stunned and suddenly felt a dizzy turn.
The southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, northwest of Lushun, and Jinzhou Bay.
On this cold and cold night, at dawn, a huge Japanese fleet suddenly appeared outside Jinzhou Bay, and then there was a tremendous earth-shaking dense artillery fire. The Chinese army's observation post was blurred by the bright light suddenly burst out from the sky. Then he was shocked to find that seven or eight thousand yards outside the port, the dark sea surface was filled with countless steel beasts, and dense artillery shells were overwhelmed. The sea and sky line had been occupied by continuous muzzle flames and flashes.
This shocking appearance almost made the Chinese soldiers who witnessed all this lose the ability to think in an instant.
One hour later.
The flagship of the Japanese Joint Fleet, Satsuma.
The first staff officer of the joint fleet, Akiyama Matsuyuki, watched the raging fires above the port. The oil storage tanks in the port were hit by heavy artillery and became a huge torch in the night sky. The Chinese shore defense fortress had been shattered by dense armor-piercing bombs and grenades in front of the huge fleet. Although the tenacious Chinese defenders were caught off guard and suffered casualties under the fierce naval guns, they fulfilled their oath and shone the glory of their lives with courage that was worthy of their military status.
The Japanese army of the brigade boarded a small boat and a flat landing ship towed over to advance toward the dock and mudflats, and advanced towards depth. The curved firepower supported by the infantry was set up behind a small hill not far from the dock, and attacked the remaining firepower points of the enemy based on the phone number of the infantry. The soldiers of the Japanese Marine First Division had experienced the cruel baptism of the Battle of Ryukyu Yuntiangang, and had also undergone the reorganization and debate on the southern line, like iron embryo quenching, becoming a real sharp blade. In this landing battle, their performance was perfect. Whether it was command, coordination, morale, or organization, they were worthy of the title of strong army.
Lieutenant General Naodao took his division and his entourage to the land to establish a forward command early and personally approached the command. The corps leader even personally led the military flag squadron to supervise countless low-level officers of the Japanese Marine Corps. From the squadron, he took off his military uniform, wore only a white shirt, wrapped in a white cloth strap on his head, and rushed to the front line with a sabre and a pistol.
Although the Chinese army, caught off guard, fought tenaciously with the greatest courage and spirit of sacrifice, they still could not reverse the failure. A battalion of the coastal artillery and a reinforced infantry battalion of the Army Border Defense 111 Division have been completely lost, and only some sporadic resistance remains in various places.
The naval base troops of the Japanese Marine Corps had quickly cleared the port dock, and transport ships with Japanese and Russian flags came one after another, and were parked in the port berth. The cabin door was opened, the springboard was lowered, and fully armed Japanese soldiers rolled out, carrying various heavy weapons on their shoulders and pushing them to the dock. A pair of military horses, military mules, and neatly equipped standard carriages at the dock quickly assembled, packed, and formed at the dock.
In just one hour, the vanguard of the 1st Division of the Japanese Marine Corps was ready to attack and advance toward the back attack of Dalian Bay, which was close to the east.
Jinzhou's railway station has been occupied, and the carriages of the parked materials have been captured. More importantly, the warehouses of the ports and railway stations are full of excellent anthracite, and there are also many military supplies shipped from the south waiting for transshipment and dispersed storage.
Satsuma.
The commander of the first army of the Chinese dispatched army in Japan and the former commander of the Southern Army, Prince Satoi Fumimiya, bowed slightly to the first officer of the joint fleet, Masayuki Akiyama: "Akiyama, this time I can hide from the Chinese army, all depends on your unparalleled army plan."
Akiyama Masayuki hurriedly bowed and returned the gift: "Commander, the plan is to work together with the joint fleet colleagues, Akiyama is just writing."
"Building a plank road openly and crossing Chencang secretly is a classic of Chinese military studies." Shuoyushi Shimamura, the chief of staff of the United Fleet, interrupted, "It is the spirit that Japan can surpass its superiority and surpass its superiority. Akiyama Jun has gained three of them."
Yoshiichi Tanaka, acting chief of staff of the First Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Army, also bowed to Akiyama Matsushi: "Akiyama, your military studies are indeed admired. Please take care of me in the future."
"It's just a pity that Takayama-kun." Fukushima-masato Fukushima, who had been silent on the side, sighed lightly, "However, he can be regarded as seeking kindness. Since the Sino-Japanese War, he has been looking forward to using his own blood to wash away the shame."
"This battle will definitely win." The commander of the United Fleet, commander of the United Fleet, said in a deep voice, "I, Hailu Jianer, will definitely win the battle with the Hiraki, and comfort the patriots who have sacrificed their lives since the Sino-Japanese War."
"Everyone, Dalian Bay is about to start. The second phase of the battle can be launched." The veteran who has always been low-key looked around and looked like a sharp sword unraveled. "From this moment, the future of the empire dominating East Asia and establishing a new Asian order dominated by Japan will be firmly in our hands."
"Onboard"
early morning.
To the east of Jinzhou Bay, Dalian Port.
The morning breeze blows, and the smoke gradually fades away. The 6th Kumamoto Division of the Japanese Army and the strong soldiers of the 14th Utsunomiya Division roll down from the transport ship, line up in neat rows, sort out equipment, and then quickly set off to various important targets in the south.
The 1st Division of the Japanese Marine Corps on the landing on Jinzhou Bay to the west, and the 6th and 14th Divisions of the Japanese Army on the landing on Dalian Bay to the east have joined forces. After tenacious resistance, the Chinese army garrison troops in the Dalian Port were forced to shrink their defenses and retreat to the Lushun Fortress after tenacious resistance.
Above the port marina.
The commander of the 14th Division, Eiko Tojo, jumped off the pedal and stepped on the dock. Looking at the magnificent mountains and rivers in front of him, the faint mountains in the distance were undulating, stretched out his arms, and took a deep breath of the air. The smell of gunpowder made the Lu Da throne who had been idle for a long time and was extremely eager for war.
After attacking Yingkou, the Japanese fleet and fleet divided into three groups, returning to Dalian Bay, and turned south to attack Jinzhou Bay, and the other cruiser feinted the Qinhuangdao-Jinzhou Railway. In the end, under a series of strategic and tactical deceptions, the Chinese army, who were obsessed with the Battle of Bohai Bay, had to accept the fact that all the previous arrangements were silenced, and the Japanese and Russian armies chose the Jinzhou-Dalian Bay, which was considered the most unlikely to choose, landed in Jinzhou-Dalian Bay, attacking the Lushun Fortress, and fought steadily.
This time the plan has achieved the most ideal result.
Perfect strategic deception, clever tactical execution, precise cooperation, everything is like a dream.
At this moment, Japan had firmly grasped the initiative of the war in its own hands. Although it did not cut off the connection between the Chinese army in the northeast and the inner city as expected, but instead used the more deadly plan to China as a bait for strategic deception, the Japanese army finally landed on the mainland of China. As long as it captured Lushun, the army and navy would be able to advance and retreat freely. The Chinese army's troops on the Liaodong Peninsula faced the attack from Dandong and Lushun, and were attacked from both sides and could only retreat. The entire Northeast War situation was completely settled.
Teams of dark-skinned, strong and cold-trained, well-trained soldiers were grouped silently and quickly on the dock and moved forward separately. Tojo Hideyo looked at these soldiers and couldn't help but praise: "After taking over Dalian Bay in one hour, the Aizang Division is worthy of being the most powerful army in Japan."
These powerful soldiers from the southern part of Kyushu are in the Sixth Division that went to the mainland together. Kumamoto Zhentai, the predecessor of the Sixth Division, is recognized as the most powerful Japanese army. Although the Guard Division will definitely not recognize this issue, even the Guard Division, many of the most capable soldiers are drawn from the Kyushu area. Tojo Hidejo, who has a high self-esteem in the Mainland, cannot complain about the combat effectiveness of the Sixth Division.
A stout Japanese lieutenant general next to him nodded: "Tojo-kun, your 14th Division is not bad either. Although it is a mobilization division, I think the combat power is at least much stronger than that of the Osaka Division."
Tojo Hideko's face turned slightly black. The Osaka Division is the Fourth Division, which is recognized as a cowardly aborted division in the entire Japanese army and a laughing stock in the army. Among the First to Sixth Divisions, only this Osaka Army division was not organized into a Type A, but was replaced by the Seventh Asahikawa Division from Hokkaido. Comparing the Fourth Division with its own troops is simply an insult.
Tojo Hideko looked at the proud leader of the Sixth Division in front of him, Haruno Okubo wanted to say a few sarcastic words, but swallowed them back.
Tojo Hideko did not dare to offend him, and even wanted to vaguely please the commander of the Sixth Division, just because he was the subordinate of Prince Fushimi Sekiya when he was the commander of the Sixth Division, and he was considered a confidant of the Prince General. Tojo Hideko knew his situation very well. This time he came back, he had to hold a thick leg, so as not to be used as a scapegoat by Changshuban in the future. There is no doubt that the former commander of the Southern Army and the current commander of the First Army of the Chinese Expedition Army, Prince Fushimi Sekiya was a thigh that was too thick.
This prince and general did not achieve military achievements in Ryukyu before, and it could even be considered a failure. The army finally occupied several trenches of the Chinese, and even went north in shame without even touching Shuri and Naha. There is no doubt that this battle is so filthy, whether it is the Navy or the Army.
But the Prince General still commanded the battle on the way as the commander of the Fifth Army of the Manchurian Army. What does this mean? This shows that His Majesty’s trust in the Prince General, and it can even be said that it is a kind of distrust of the Choshu faction within the army. This makes Tojo Heiktor extremely confident. In front of him, the Golden Light Avenue leading to the glorious Golden Light Avenue is the only way to help the Prince General become a model for the royal family to take back all the lost things. The humiliation imposed on him by the Choshu faction will inevitably be ten times in the future.
Thinking of this, even the leader of the Okubo Division was a little cute in his eyes. Tojo Hideko said seriously: "Okubo, I am not only trusted by the seniors, but also feel that my talent is limited. I would like to give you more advice on this battle. I am also preparing to sacrifice my life and create a future for the Empire."
Okubo Haruno looked at the top scorer who had been left unattended by the Chagasu faction for many years, and his expression became serious: "Tojokun's heroic spirit remains unchanged back then. He is worthy of being the chief of the Sabre Group. Let us work together to lay a copper wall here and wait for the Chinese people to hit him and make his head bloody."
At this time, the horse of Tojo Hideka had already arrived. He flew on the horse in a cool manner and gave a standard military salute to Haruno Okubo: "Okkubo, Ganba Leh"
"Tojo-kun, Ganba Leigh"...
