    When Yang Du walked into the office, Yang Qiuzheng was chatting and laughing with Yan Xishan. After the latter became the mayor of Beijing and temporarily concurrently served as Tianjin, although it was not a good time, Beijing and Tianjin became increasingly stable after he sorted it out, especially the Xihua Gate incident.  Later, he decisively ordered the entire city to be cordoned off to arrest fugitives. He also took the opportunity to accuse those bannermen, old and young, who had not left Beijing, of separatism and treason and surrendering to the enemy. He strictly implemented the means of sealing up all royal heritage and protecting historical sites, which was very satisfying.  [ãßkun][ãßkun][С][˵][Íø][\\com]

    He and Yang Du were also old acquaintances. They had interacted with each other when Yang Du briefly went to Japan to study. At that time, the latter almost joined the Democratic Party. When they met now, they couldn't help but exchange a few words: "Long time no see, Xi.  Brother Zi¡¯s style remains the same.¡±

    After the Henan incident, Yang Du's status in the national society increased day by day, so he became much more cheerful when talking and laughing. He smiled and said: "Brother Baichuan, please don't laugh at me. The chairman has entrusted the entire Beijing and Tianjin to you. I hope you can protect it."  This treasured land may come back that year.¡±

    Yan Xishan was slightly startled by this sentence, wondering if Yang Qiu had any intention of changing the capital?  In fact, what he thought was right. Yang Qiu actually didn't like Nanjing as the capital. If he could choose, he would rather go to Wuchang or Beijing. But there are some things that cannot be touched yet.  However, he secretly praised Yang Du's thoughts, because only a very small number of people knew about this matter, and they were all close confidants who would never tell anyone, so being able to see it through some words and deeds showed that his thoughts were very delicate.

    But he didn¡¯t want to mention it now. Changing the capital was just an idea and might not take shape at the moment, so he didn¡¯t mention it at all and asked, ¡°Brother Xizi, do you have anything to do with me?¡±

    "The war has begun." Yang Du explained his purpose: "Germany declared war on France and Russia last night, and the army entered Belgium in just one day. Although Britain has not yet made a decision, Japan just launched an attack early and declared war on Germany.  "Yang Qiu didn't care at all about the first news, but the fact that Japan declared war with Britain in advance made him secretly amused.  After hearing this, Yan Xishan said: "Japan has nothing to do. Shandong's delay for one more day will be beneficial to us. If we don't win Qingdao early, it will be very dangerous. But Songpo this time is too difficult."

    Yang Qiu nodded, walked to the window and turned his eyes towards Shandong.

    Can you capture Qingdao even if you want to?  At least Cai E doesn't dare to guarantee it yet.  The current defense line, which is still full of loopholes, puts him in a dilemma.  It shouldn't be this hard.  Compared with Fengtian, the power in his hands is stronger, but the problem is that the battle of Qingdao involves some politics.  Because Yang Qiu did not want to use force against Qingdao first, he had to force the infantry to intervene in the chaotic battlefield at a critical moment in the battle between Japan and Germany to face the enemy's ferocious naval bombardment.

    From a military perspective, the most annoying thing is fighting a war that serves politics.  But all wars are a continuation of politics, although I don¡¯t understand why Yang Qiu chose this.  But he felt that it should be preparing for China and Germany to work together in the future, so he also believed that it was worth making some sacrifices for the time being. Even if Germany was defeated in Europe, it would still be a skinny camel bigger than a horse.  By laying the foundation, you can get more things in the future.

    So when I heard about the war in Qingdao, I rushed to Dongda Mountain to observe the battle with my own eyes regardless of the danger.

    Dongda Mountain extends southward from Jiaozhou Bay to the center of the bay.  It is less than 18 kilometers away from the entrance to the sea, and the distance is completely within the coverage radius of the Japanese Navy's battleships. However, Kato Kenkichi did not dare to let the old ships of the Second Fleet get too close before a few heavy guns in the Qingdao Fortress were dealt with.

    After climbing a ridge more than 100 meters high, Cai E couldn't help but bend over and gasp hard. The injury in Kunming still had a great impact on his body. He always felt chest tightness and shortness of breath during strenuous exercise.  Coupled with the worry and fatigue during this period, my cheeks lost a lot of weight in just a few days.  Zhang Xiaozhun, who was next to him, was also worried about his health. He supported him and said, "Songpo. How about you rest first and I'll record it?"

    "It's okay, I'm just out of breath."

    Cai E waved his hand and asked Lei Biao to take out the eight-power Zeiss telescope. This kind of high-end telescope is very expensive, and only senior generals like him can distribute it in the army.  Germany is indeed the best in optics in the world. It can still be seen clearly from more than ten kilometers away. He saw a huge smoke column rising from the front of the Maultic Mountain. It should be caused by the Japanese Navy's 305mm heavy artillery. He didn't care.  It was the battleship that fired the shell, and its attention was entirely on the damage on the ground.

    Under the smoke column, the terraced barbed wire defense layer was torn, and the smoke wave spread directly to about 100 meters. Two large trees about 50 meters away from the center of the explosion, which were thicker than the bowl of the sea, were broken together. From this point, we can see the damage caused by the 305 naval gun.  How big is the radius, let alone the 356 naval guns on the King Kong.  "Record, when attacking the fortress mountain, all soldiers must be separated to 35 meters apart. During close combat, the number of submachine guns should be increased to increase the firepower of individual soldiers. The city has not been bombarded yet. There are many buildings in the city that can easily injure people after explosions. Strict  Everyone is required to wear a helmet and are not allowed to take off their clothes to avoid being scratched.Immediately after entering the area, fill sandbags and build a bunker. After seizing the fortress, you must strictly abide by the time lag tactics. When the enemy infantry retreats, they must all retreat into the deep bunker. Engineers must enter as soon as possible and find a way to dig out hidden soldiers in the mountain bomb shelter area.  Cat ears pierced.  Artillerymen beware  "

    Under the bombardment of heavy artillery, Maartik, the central fortress, the Taitung Zhendong fortress and the coastal fortress were all attacked. One shell after another caused visible injuries. Cai E observed and thought about the strategy and strategy of the attack.  Paying attention to the essentials, the two adjutants behind him were checking the records for fear of missing something.

    "Songpa" Zhang Xiaozhun was also checking the fortress. After seeing two Japanese destroyers trying to approach the estuary, he immediately reminded: "The Japanese navy is testing the mine array. See if you can tell Germany.  We might as well scatter all the 200 mines that we brought yesterday to the estuary to prevent Japan from breaking through."

    "200 bombs are not enough!" Cai E said: "Immediately send someone to Qingdao to contact the German army, and send a telegram to the logistics department. No matter what method is used, 100 more bombs must be transported within five days, and the entrance to the sea must be completely sealed! In Hongshi  Deploy a 105 heavy artillery battalion in Ya and be ready to suppress enemy minesweepers at any time."

    "Commander, our air force."

    While the two were discussing the attack plan, two Sparrow reconnaissance planes roared past the top of Todai Mountain and flew towards the observation balloon over the Japanese battleship Tango.

    The huge observation balloon undoubtedly became the target of pursuit by the young men of the aviation team who lacked opponents. When the first one passed by the balloon, the light machine gun temporarily installed on the back seat let out a roar, and more than a dozen bullets were shot out of the surface of the balloon.  Bullet holes.  When the second plane arrived, the pilot simply pulled out the grenade, held it in his hand for a few seconds, and then threw it toward the balloon.  The flames of the grenade that exploded in the air ignited the hydrogen gas in the balloon.  In the blink of an eye the balloon turned into a huge fireball.  The Japanese naval observer hanging in the gondola below fell directly to the sea from a height of several hundred meters. The huge fireball also frightened the Tango deck into chaos.

    The two Japanese pilots who piloted the Curtiss seaplane had just taken off from the Miyakata seaplane carrier and quickly pulled up the fuselage in an attempt to repel the sparrows' intrusion as they slowly took off.  The first Sparrow had already flown over, and a well-aimed bullet shot down the first seaplane.  The second Japanese seaplane took off though.  However, facing the pincer attack between the two Sparrows, they had no advantage. Fortunately, because the light machine gun in the rear seat was not a specialized air combat machine gun, the Japanese pilots could continue to dodge left and right.

    After a while, the two futile Sparrows began to return.  The Japanese pilot was relieved when he saw this.  Just as they were about to fly over Qingdao to take over the task of reconnaissance balloons, a fighter plane they had never seen before suddenly rushed out of Jiaozhou Bay due north against the sea surface.

    "Haga! Shoot it down!" In the bridge of the Tango, Kato Kenkichi was very unhappy with the Chinese planes flying overhead. Although the whole world knew at this time that planes could not deal with rough-skinned warships,  After losing the observation balloon, the fleet's bombardment accuracy has dropped a lot. If the seaplane is lost again, it will have to approach 10,000 meters from the coast and open fire.  But the problem is that the Qingdao Fortress is extremely strong.  In particular, the South Fort halfway up the northwest slope of Bismarck Mountain is very advantageous in defending against artillery shells coming from the sea because of its excellent location.  The continuous consumption of hundreds of heavy artillery shells failed to have a serious impact. On the contrary, the two German-made 280mm heavy artillery deployed on it continued to threaten the safety of the fleet.

    After receiving the order, the Japanese sailors opened the anti-balloon cannon, but the anti-balloon cannon was not an anti-aircraft gun. Neither the elevation angle nor the non-air-detonated fuse shells could threaten the aircraft, and the density was sparse. Unless it was directly hit by the shells, it would simply scratch the itch.

    Xue Muhua didn't even look at an attack of this level. His eyes were fixed on the Japanese Curtiss seaplane that was still hovering, and his index finger was always on the trigger of the synchronized heavy machine gun connected to the operating rod with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.  .  This circle tactic is no problem against sparrows, but it is impossible to deal with the "Haitong Qing" under him!  As he was flying the plane closer, the Japanese pilot was nervously looking at this new aircraft that he had never seen before.

    It is wide, thick, a combination of steel pipes and wings, and is obviously faster than itself.

    "Is this the latest aircraft produced in Germany?"

    How does he know that this aircraft is a product that should only appear three years later!  Since the breakthrough of the engine, technicians such as Feng Ru, who had already obtained a complete set of World War I aircraft drawings and data, began to build a new generation of fighter aircraft. Finally, under the instruction of Yang Qiu, they skipped the dazzling models and directly chose Germany, which began in 1918.  equipment, and was hailed as the best Fokker d.vii fighter in all countries in World War I.

    Needless to say, the performance of the Fokker D.vii fighter in this era can make Camel and Newport 28.c1 avoid fighting, it can turn excellent pilots into ace pilots, and it has not been booked by all novices in the following ten years.  Trump card standard, and the post-war Allied PowersGermany has been prohibited from continuing to equip it, and all the fuselages and spare parts that have been manufactured have even been destroyed!

    How strong and coquettish this requires!

    Of course, Feng Ru and others also made significant changes, mainly because the Hispano-Siza V-type 250-horsepower engine is much lighter and smaller than the Mercedes 180-horsepower engine used in the German Fokker Dvii.  So the original thicker body looks much thinner.

    In fact, this kind of aircraft could have been equipped at the end of last year, but because the Ministry of National Defense did not want the dual-mounted Han III 7.62mm heavy machine gun, it hoped to use the 12.7mm Venom Fang heavy machine gun that had just been successfully imitated at that time.  The main reason is that the young men of the aviation team found that the 7.62mm machine gun bullets are too light. When shooting in the air, the accuracy is affected by wind speed, dead weight, etc. It often takes hundreds of bullets to hit a flexible target, while the 12.7mm bullets have a relatively stable trajectory.

    Because of this problem, the production of the first twin-mounted air-cooled 12.7mm Fang aviation heavy machine gun was not started until early last month. Moreover, ordinary engines cannot accommodate this heavy machine weighing 100 meters due to problems such as horsepower and volume.  Only this new type of aircraft can carry multi-kilogram twin machine guns.  Although it is more than half a year late, the wait is worth it.  After testing, it was discovered that the new aircraft equipped with a 12.7 mm machine gun with a synchronized firing coordinator is surprisingly powerful.  The sparrow has almost no power to fight back against it, and because the bullet is heavy, it can also kill ground targets.

    ? Flexible and powerful firepower.  So after Yang Qiu promised that the aviation team could name the new aircraft by itself.  Everyone immediately thought of the ferocious Hai Dongqing.

    "Haitongqing" made a circle and directly used its speed to cut into the inner corner of the Japanese seaplane. When the two planes were parallel, Xue Muhua made a fierce spitting gesture at the other side.  This insulting action made the Japanese pilot scream in anger, pull out his pistol and continue to shoot.  A scene appeared that stunned him and the sailors watching below.

    Only seen!

    Hai Dongqing suddenly shook the wing, and then rolled directly from the upper part of the Curtis seaplane wing to the other side!  Amaterasu, God above.  Is there a plane of wood and canvas in front of you?  Or a nimble sea hawk?  !  While the Japanese pilot was rubbing his eyes, Haidongqing under the control of Xue Muhua pulled up again, directly to an altitude of 5,000 meters that his opponents could not reach.  Then it rolled and roared down towards Curtis again.

    No matter how idiot you are, you know that the other party is going to attack.  Therefore, the Japanese pilot also put in a lot of effort, but when his plane started to circle and avoid, the head of the diving Kai Dongqing had already sprayed two tongues of flames.

    The nose of the plane fires?  God, won't this break the propeller?  How was it done?  !

    On a German plane flying from Qingdao, the German pilot who claimed to be well-informed and first-rate had been deeply attracted by the dazzling maneuvers just now. Now he saw that Haidongqing was able to fire directly from the nose of the plane regardless of the safety of the propeller.  .  His eyes even bulged out!  But before he could figure out how the other party did it, he saw that the left wing of the Japanese Curtiss seaplane that was under attack was directly torn in two by a bullet.  The plane spiraled downward.

    ¡°But Xue Muhua was obviously not willing to give his opponent a chance, and continued to chase the plane without a wing and swiped fiercely until the opponent¡¯s fuselage was interrupted before he pulled it up again.  Just when everyone thought Hai Dongqing was going back, he aimed at the Gongruo seaplane carrier on the sea and rushed towards it.  The Japanese fleet, which didn't even have a few anti-balloon cannons, was completely helpless against Kai Dongqing. They had no choice but to watch him fly towards the Gongwaka. Just when everyone thought this was just a show off, because machine guns could not deal with the warship, the two  The fangs roared again.

    Bullets sprayed down from a height of more than 100 meters, clanking on the steel plate of the battleship, and the wooden deck was swept with debris flying everywhere.  The worst thing was that the remaining seaplane on standby on the deck was shot to pieces by 12.7mm bullets before it even set off.  But even so, Xue Muhua and Hai Dongqing were still unwilling to give up. They flew across the deck twice in a row and sprayed bullets on the unprotected sailors.

    The Japanese sailors were trying to avoid yelling, but the German pilots were speechless. They were speechless at the fact that the Haidong Qing's character would punish everyone with death. It was not until Xue Muhua shook his wings and flew away that he returned.  After regaining consciousness, he circled the Japanese fleet a few times and then returned lazily.  Because of the loss of the artillery reconnaissance balloon and all seaplanes, Kato Kenkichi's plan to kill all the forts in the Qingdao Fortress before the arrival of the First Fleet was completely ruined. In addition, he was worried that the fleet would be attacked by shore artillery if it got too close to the shore, so he had to order a temporary  Stop the bombardment and wait for the arrival of the First Fleet support fleet.

    The attack ended because of a Haidongqing that no one had ever seen before, leaving the three warring parties stunned. But at this moment, no one thought about the changes that the appearance of powerful fighters would bring to future wars. Even Yang Qiu  At present, I don¡¯t pay much attention to the aviation force. After all, it is a real air force.They cannot be supported by wooden frames, so they have not been organized into separate armies so far.

    But the end was short-lived. When the German army was advancing rapidly in Europe, and the powerful firepower of the company and battalion relying on mortars and Sten submachine guns arrived at the Liege Fortress two days earlier than history, the Qingdao Fortress was also in danger. Japan, supported by the Kongo  The fleet launched the largest bombardment on Qingdao. Thirty heavy naval guns ravaged the fortress over and over again. Except for the southwest fort on Bismarck Mountain, which was in an excellent position, other forts suffered serious losses.

    However, both sides knew that naval guns could not achieve the final victory, so after gradually gaining the advantage in artillery fire, the landing fleet led by Mitsuomi Kamio and Chief of Staff Yamanashi Hanzo was escorted by an escort formation composed of more than a dozen cruisers and destroyers.  They arrived late at the sea outside Laoshan Bay. Due to the lack of enough ships, even the warships were crowded with infantry from the 18th Division waiting to land.

    In the narrow conference room of the cruiser Chitose, Lieutenant General Mitsuomi Kamio looked at a circle of confident officers and raised his glass: "You all already know the situation of the war. Jimo behind the bay has been occupied by the Chinese army, and they built a  Many temporary fortifications are trying to prevent my heroic Kurume Division from entering Qingdao and marching to Jiaodong! For the sake of the great military fortune of the Japanese Empire, I hope that you will fight the enemy bravely after landing, and use cannons to tell those Chinese people that the Empire is not weak enough to be bullied by them.  when!"

    "cheers!"

    During the toast by Mitsuomi Kamio, the 48th Regiment of the 18th Division took the lead in landing at Laoshan. For a time, the wide Laoshan Bay was filled with densely packed landing boats. A large amount of baggage and artillery shells were piled on the coast, waiting for the infantry to open the channel and then transport them to various parts of Shandong.

    Just as Japan was speeding up the delivery of more infantry and equipment to the coast, on Taizi Mountain outside Jimo City, soldiers were building fortifications with the help of tractors for four 19-ton Zhenlei 14-type 150mm long-range cannons, and in front of them  Outside the Tianhou Gate of Laoshan, 15 kilometers away, 12 160mm heavy mortars spread out and their thick and long barrels were slowly erected.

    The soldiers opened the front half of the gun barrel, filled it with a 41-kilogram shell, closed the two barrels again, and then grabbed the gun rope and hid in the bunker.

    "Target Wangjiatai coast wind speed 3, elevation angle 67 degrees, distance 6300 meters, fire quickly!"

    *****

    ps: I encountered a little accident today. Since the decoration is about to be completed, Hippo is usually busy with work, so I went to take a look during the weekend. I didn't expect to happen to install the crystal lamp. As a result the tragic beads alone were consumed.  I spent the whole morning, and after installing it, I found that it didn't match the drawings, so I dismantled it and reinstalled it

    After all the fussing, I realized that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. I had been typing in a hurry when I got home and hadn't eaten yet.
