Chapter 94: Retreat
"Report!"
"Come in!"
The messenger stepped forward to Hatoyama and saluted: "Report to the Colonel, General Tanaka sent a call to approach the island ten nautical miles. The attack was launched with a gun on the north side. The order was to capture Mrs. Chiang alive and the representatives of other countries!"
"Yaxi!"
Jiushan ordered: "Don't worry about the broken ship, hit me, approaching the ten nautical miles of the island, and launching thousands of cannons at the same time, blowing the off-island and capturing Tang Meili alive!"
"Hi!"
......
The Japanese army approached the island, and the British were not blind, so they had discovered it long ago. Luo Junqiang was so scared that he urgently arranged all the garrison troops to prepare for war.
However, they did not send the navy forward to negotiate as soon as possible. They just arranged to stand by, and the British Air Force was also on standby at any time.
The people on the island were also panicked and had a mess for a while. Takeo Imai personally came to the Governor's Office and explained to Luo Junqiang in person that this trip was only aimed at the off-islands and did not intend to capture Xiangjiang.
Luo Junqiang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and said with a look of ugly expression: "Mr. Imai, the Japanese army rashly entered the Xiangjiang waters and had violated the naval agreement of the five countries. I ask your ships to leave immediately and issue an apology statement, otherwise the British Empire will be regarded as a provocation!"
Takeo Imai smiled and explained: "Governor Luo, the empire is only targeting the off-island. I remember that the right to belong to the off-island at this moment should be Chu Wenhao, and in principle it did not break any agreement. The Kuomintang government held a big meeting on the off-island island to discuss, trying to subvert the hard-won results of the empire. Such behavior is like provoking the Japanese Empire. Governor Luo ignored it, that is, it means recognizing it. Since it is recognized, don't easily interfere with the affairs between the empire and the Kuomintang. The Japanese Empire only dispatched one-third of the ships stationed in Guangzhou. If you want to capture Xiangjiang, you are afraid that you will not stay idle at home. However, the empire's Akagi aircraft carrier has nothing to do recently. It has just set sail from Taiwan, stationed 30 nautical miles away from Xiangjiang, and appreciate the results of bombing the off-island." Threat, naked threat.
Luo Junqiang's mouth twitched twice, and he held back, "What does Japan mean? If he wants to arrest representatives of various countries or Mrs. Chiang, the British Empire will not sit idly by."
"Governor Luo misunderstood that the Empire is negotiating with the National Party, how could it be voluntarily destroyed?" Imai smiled and said, "But the Empire does not allow the National Party to unscrupulously build a logistics base. If the British side does not take back the off-islands, the imperial occupation will be over. There is a proverb in China: Distant relatives are worse than close neighbors. They say that they must be neighbors with the British side. Governor Luo will not have any objection, right?"
Luo Junqiang's eyelids twitched wildly, he clenched his fists hard, and said sternly: "The British Empire will definitely not allow the Japanese to occupy the offshore islands. This is the bottom line and cannot be discussed! I remember that the Japanese also agreed to Chu Wenhao's use of the offshore islands. Why is he going back on his word now?"
"That's right!"
"The Empire agreed that Chu Wenhao had the right to use the off-island, but it does not mean that the National Party has the right to use it. Now Chu Wenhao has privately delivered the off-island to the National Party for use, which violates the original agreement. The Empire's actions this time should not be considered a violation of the treaty."
Luo Junqiang opened his mouth but didn't know how to reply. Strictly speaking, there was nothing wrong with it. Chu Wenhao did violate the agreement. Although he did not announce it to the outside world, he knew it very well.
"Okay, the British Empire immediately took back the offshore islands and did not allow the Nationalist government to build a logistics base in Hong Kong. I ask the Japanese ships to leave immediately..."
boom!
boom!
boom!
Before Luo Junqiang could finish his words, the sound of cannons that resounded through the sky clearly reached the room, and his face turned pale and came to the window and looked at the island.
At this moment, gunpowders were filled with smoke on the north side of the island, and artillery fire was everywhere. Although the people were notified ten minutes in advance to look for cover, it was difficult to avoid this kind of cover bombing. The diameter was 3,000 meters, and one shell after another cut through the sky and landed on the island, and instantly turned into a mountain of fire, with screams one after another.
"Mad!"
"I wouldn't have come if I had known that I wouldn't have come. These Japanese devils are really inhumane and don't inform them in advance if they fight." In a small air-raid shelter, nine people squeezed together to avoid shells. Crack earth fell from time to time on their heads, scaring everyone's faces pale and complained from time to time.
Sun Liancheng was going to search the house, but when he heard the news halfway, he was so scared that he led his troops back. He lies in ambush everywhere according to Zhang Zhizhong's order, waiting for a battle with the Japanese for 300 rounds.
boom!
"Bah!" After eating a mouthful of soil, the newly built building was burned in an instant and turned into scorched earth. There were six ships on the north side, and no building could escape. Fortunately, there were many mountains on the offshore islands and it was easy to hide.
South side.
Jiushan ordered the cruiser to start and crash directly, and the speed was fast. Chu Wenhao on the destroyer saw it clearly. Although he was worried, he didn't care about it. He directly ordered: "Prepare to launch torpedoes, three attacks the same place!" There was no way, the old Dutch antiques, considering that it was transformed by a fishing boat, the gap in all aspects was too big. Even if a torpedo cannot be sunk, it is enough to break the armor. The acquired rags are pitiful, and he is worried that it can be launched normally or exploded.
"yes!"
Chu Wenhao held the microphone and cursed: "Since you want to die, I will fulfill your wishes! There are twenty torpedoes and three hundred shells on the ship. I don't believe that I can't sink you!"
"put!"
With a command, the soldier pressed the torpedo launch switch, and soon a torpedo was pushed into the sea and bombarded the cruiser three nautical miles away as fast as possible.
"Hahaha..."
Chu Wenhao tried to scare the Japanese away, but it made Jiushan laugh wildly, holding the microphone and shouting: "Chu Wenhao, you idiot, Dutch destroyers are all modified, each ship is equipped with up to ten torpedoes, where did you get twenty torpedoes? Three hundred shells, why don't you say you have three thousand? It's terrible to have no culture. Don't you know that this kind of destroyer is equipped with up to fifty small-caliber shells, so that you can see the empire's torpedo interception technique."
boom!
As the two torpedoes met in the middle sea, they collided together, making a tremendous loud noise and ignited huge waves.
"Hahaha..."
"Chu Wenhao! Did you see that this is the power of the cruiser. Your broken ship doesn't even have a radar, and you won't hit it even if you don't intercept it."
"Hahaha..."
"Baga!" Chu Wenhao was so angry that he cursed Japanese, his face turned pale, and he felt helpless inside. He was a medium-sized cruiser that could not only prevent air defense, but also torpedoes. The large-caliber naval gun could hit a straight line distance of twenty kilometers away, and even carried four water carrier-based aircraft. It was simply the difference between ant and an elephant. The scoundrel was shaking trees!
"withdraw!"
Chu Wenhao had to give in. It was impossible to fight hard, and it was useless at all. However, this medium-sized cruiser was huge and had a draft of about ten meters, so it could not penetrate deep into shallow water. It did not dare to go deep into five miles off the island, and accidentally hit the seabed reef and stranded.
The destroyer ran back, and Jiushan saw it clearly and laughed: "I want to run away! Chu Wenhao, you're done. I heard that your wife is very beautiful. I will definitely capture it alive when I land on the island later. Take it back to the military camp to enjoy it slowly. Don't worry! Blast the broken ship opposite me!"
"Hi!"
"Mad!"
Chu Wenhao was almost angry to death, and said a crazy man who spoke wildly in his heart and tried to provoke his woman was sentenced to death! "Don't wait, both torpedoes are fired, twenty shells are fired at once, and be prepared to abandon the ship!" There was no way, the radar on the destroyer was broken and could not be intercepted at all. Wait for the other party to fire two torpedoes to ensure that they sank into the seabed.
"yes!"
Boom boom boom boom!
The sea was filled with artillery fire, and huge waves were stirred up from time to time. The sound of artillery made the ships on the north side vaguely hear it. Tanaka Kuichi sat in the cabin and frowned and asked, "Where did the sound of artillery come from?"
"Hi!"
"It should be that the British side fired guns from a distance, trying to stop the empire from continuing to approach the offshore island!" Sakai Takashi knew that it might be that the Daimaru encountered a blockade, and the two sides had exchanged fire and did not intend to wait. "General, now ten nautical miles away from the island, within the range of the naval guns, he cannot wait, otherwise the British side may dispatch ships to stop the empire."
Tanaka Kuichi raised his watch and looked at it, thinking that Takeo Imai should have made it clear to the British side, just bombing the island, "Give an order, adjust the angle, and never bomb the neck on the south side, otherwise the consequences will be serious."
"Hi!" Sakai Takashi felt a little panicked when he heard the stern remarks again. He gritted his teeth and went out to the command cabin and grabbed the microphone: "I order the water carrier-based aircraft to take off immediately to pull the attack position." With the words, the six carrier-based aircraft that were already on standby in the water slowly took off and waited for the offshore island to hover at a height of 500 meters, guiding the position of the ship's shells.
"I order each naval gun to adjust its height and aim at the position of the traction machine to bomb it hard! Let them die! Blast the offshore islands to me!"
"Hi!"
Boom! More than ten large-caliber giant cannons rushed towards the offshore islands, and instantly turned into a sea of fire.
A naval battle with huge strength began quietly. The people on the island were particularly depressed when they saw the outlying island that turned into a sea of fire from afar.
"Mad! The Japanese are too arrogant and are unscrupulous in killing the people. Fortunately, I can withstand the temptation and do not go to work on the island."
boom!
The destroyer I had just bought for two days gradually began to tilt and was bombarded into scrap iron by two torpedoes. "Come on the patrol boat quickly!" Fortunately, two small patrol boats were picking them up. Chu Wenhao almost passed by with a heartache. It was 500,000 yuan, and it could be heard even when thrown into the water, but it was gone.
"Chu Wenhao! Let you see the strength of the Japanese Empire's naval force, and never want to go against the empire!"
"I order! Thousands of cannons are fired at the same time, and the off-island will be destroyed!"
boom!
Ten nautical miles away, cruisers fired at the same time, and Hatoyama did not even need to traction, and a vague sea defense sentry could be seen from afar.
Chu Wenhao's eyes swept a spark with lightning and a cannonball rushed towards his home behind. After a loud bang, the hard-working house turned into a sea of fire in an instant.
"Bastard, you're done!" Chu Wenhao cursed angrily, and was so angry that he stomped his feet and could only stare at him.
"You retreat to both sides and wait until the shells stop, and the Japanese want to stop the island when they want to land on the island..." Chu Wenhao reminded him to take off his military uniform, put on a diving suit, and jump into the sea with a twenty-meter-long rope.
Chapter completed!
