Chapter 32 Contraction

"Quick..." The detection balloon must be raised for 24 hours, all artillery cannons are installed with ammunition, and no mistakes are allowed.

"Hurry up... all torpedo boats place torpedoes in the offshore waters." The three main ports affiliated to the Su-Anhui government are now in tight defenses, especially the estuary of the Yangtze River. They have been blocked and no ships are allowed to enter. Many torpedo boats quickly place torpedoes in the sea, and shore defense artillery is ready to deal with all enemies at any time.

The Jiangsu and Anhui government urgently imported three-caliber 406mm shore defense artillery from Germany a year ago, and placed them in Shanghai, Lianyungang and Jakarta. In addition, it imported a large number of other types, even several countries.

The artillery included three 406mm shore defense cannons, twelve 356mm shore defense cannons, forty-eight 305mm shore defense cannons, and eighty-two 88 to 210mm caliber artillery. Such a number of artillery was to ensure safety. After obtaining the port, Dengsen understood that he did not have enough strength to guard at sea, so he could only spend a lot of money. In nearly a year, he ordered shore defense cannons from various countries, including twelve 305mm shore defense cannons imported from Japan. When the Su-Anhui government made this request, Britain initially disapproved, claiming that the British Empire navy surrounded the Su-Anhui government's maritime security, but Dengsen certainly would not take their words seriously. Until Germany sold three 406mm shore defense cannons at a high price, countries began to sell shore defense cannons to the Su-Anhui government in this case.

This is the largest procurement project of the Jiangsu and Anhui government in addition to warships, with a total military expenditure of nearly 30 million US dollars, which is not counted as the construction of the fort.

On Changxing Island in Shanghai, there are permanent artillery fire fortifications, two 356mm shore defense artillery, twelve 305mm cannons, twenty 88210mm cannons, and there are even many artillery batteries on Chongming Island, with firepower density comparable to that of the Wugang Fortress in Japan.

"Head of the People's Republic of China, the Japanese fleet has set out and it seems that there will still be a strong wind this time!

〖Japan〗If we do not achieve our goal, we will never give up. Our route to the East Indies has not yet been cut off. I think we should immediately replenish military funds." Zhang Xiaojun held the huge map. This is the map of the Su-Anhui government to the East Indies in the South China Sea. The East Indies, the East Indies has 100,000 troops stationed. If there is a tight supply, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Yes, the order is ordered to go to Jakarta immediately to place the supplies, and issue an emergency warning for all citizens in the colony. Soldiers must be prepared for combat. The East Indies cannot be lost!" Dengson knew what the East Indies mean to the current Su-Anhui government, just like India for Britain. The East Indies is the blood transfusion of the Su-Anhui government, which can bring a lot of labor and huge resources to the Su-Anhui government every year.

"Head of the People's Republic of China, now all our troops have reached the designated position. The First Army closely monitored the activities of the Beiyang government. The coastal defense forces have also entered a 24-hour standby state. All heavy artillery shells are transported to arrive in various places. The mine laying of Lianyungang has been completed." Before learning that the Japanese himself arrived, Deng Sen immediately monitored the Beiyang and the Japanese he had been close to each other. If the Japanese and Japanese were originally working together inside and outside at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable, so he prepared early.

Deng Sen nodded. In fact, he was already having a headache at this time! The victory of this naval battle made him proud and excited to come to this era. He thought that the biggest enemy was Japan. Now Japan was stepped on the soles of his feet twice and said that there was no pride. However, it was too early to confront Japan!

"Our troops have contracted, so the Japanese merchants should not have any room for activity! Capture all Japanese merchants controlled in our territory and temporarily seize Japanese goods, including Japanese merchants in various concessions." Japanese I was powerless at sea, but now the Jiangsu and Anhui region is the main import and export place of Japan. Although the situation between the two sides has been unstable due to the previous massacre of Japanese expatriates by Dengsen, the commercial transactions have not been interrupted. However, now Japanese I gave Dengsen an excuse. Dengsen believed that as long as Jiangsu and Anhui banned Japanese goods and threatened Beiyang to execute them together, it would definitely put a lot of pressure on Japan.

"I understand!" Zhang Xiaojun knew Deng Sen's idea. If it were the ones he would not agree with, but now they are different. They are almost as powerful as Japanese.

"That's good! At the same time, the SS Special Forces Division in Panjin was ready to deal with all wars at any time." The Su-An government, in addition to having troops in the East Indies, also had an army in the Northeast, that is, the SS Special Forces Division in Panjin, Shenyang, and its division commander was Chen Hui, that is, Chen Heizi. His troops were stationed in the Northeast in order to threaten the Manchuria Railway in Japan in the war against Japan, and also put pressure on the Beiyang government. However, over the past few days, the Beiyang has stationed three divisions in Yingkou Jinzhou around Panjin, and almost surrounded it with the Japanese troops stationed in Shenyang.

However, Deng Sen was not worried. If Yuan Shikai dared to take action, he would dare to go north to Beijing. The Japanese army had only 30,000 troops in the northeast. This was because the special combat division arrived. Among the military forces in Dongbi, although Chen Hui had only one division, his combat force was 23,000 and his logistics force was 4,000, which was equivalent to the two divisions in Beiyang. It was not weak compared with the Japanese army himself. Moreover, there were many surrenders in the northeast, so his status in the northeast was also very important.

Yuan Shikai asked Deng Sen to transfer this army back more than once, but whenever he had conflicts with the Japanese, Deng Sen would naturally not agree, so the main division was kept away from the headquarters.

In Panjin, Chen Hui was still determined on his dark face. The special combat division's army was conducting regular training. At this time, he would always lead his troops to practice together, which was also a landscape in Panjin.

"Reporting the division seat, the military headquarters called." A clerk ran over to Chen Hui who was doing push-ups, holding a document.

"Remember!" Chen Hui stood up, patted the soil on his hand and ordered him.

"Let the First Special Forces Division be prepared for combat at any time, not only to defend against the Japanese army, but also to pay attention to the movements of the Beiyang army. The war between our party and Japan has begun again, and all commanders are ordered to make complete preparations.

The report is finished!" the clerk said loudly with his heels straight.

"I understand, come! The training was over. The military police immediately dispatched to arrest the entire Panjin area. At the same time, all the commanders at the regiment level and above went to the division headquarters for a meeting." Chen Hui received the telegram without changing, but he knew that things were not small.

Just ten minutes later, more than a dozen officers had gathered in Panjin's command center, and they all looked at Chen Hui sitting there seriously.

"Our war with Japan has started again! Therefore, our position is even more important. Take stock of the supplies, prepare for battle, and pay attention to the movements of the Beiyang. If the government needs it, control all South Manchuria railway stations except Lushun at any time." Chen Hui looked at the officers and said to them in a solemn voice.

"Teacher! So should the stations of our brigades and regiments be adjusted?" After Chen Hui said that, Su Hang, chief of staff of the division headquarters, stood up and asked.

"Yes, the first brigade stationed in Guchengzi retracted back to Xinglongtai, and the third brigade stationed in Shuangtaizi to Dawa County, and at the same time organized the subordinate troops. They have a great effect during the battle." Chen Hui pointed to several places on the map. Those places were the main control areas of the Iron Blood Army. At the same time, the Iron Blood Army also had nearly 10,000 local troops under its command. These were the bandit armed forces that had originally resisted Japan and Russia. After entering the Northeast, because local bandits were rampant, they carried out a bandit suppression operation. Of course, unless they were extremely guilty, they would not be cruelly wiped out. Therefore, a large number of bandit soldiers temporarily belonged to the Special Forces Division.

"It's the division!" Everyone received the order, and after the meeting, they returned to their respective troops to operate. For a time, the Iron Blood Army in Panjin area began to form a large-scale. At the same time, the railway guards along the Japanese and Japanese also began to gather, fearing that the Iron Blood Army would launch an attack on them, and with their strength, they could not resist it. In the Port of Lushun, the 21st Division, the newly formed Japanese and Japanese divisions, are landing.

In this way, the troops in Northeast China increased to more than 50,000. In fact, the Japanese army was not preparing to launch an attack on the Iron Blood Army Special Forces Division, but defended. Japanese maritime operations were just tactical intimidation. They had no money to engage in a large-scale battle with the Jiangsu and Anhui government.

"Prime Minister! Just now, Manchuria sent a telegram, and the Chinese army was mobilized frequently. Should we actually put pressure on the Chinese Beiyang government?" A cabinet member next to Da Chongxin in the Japanese cabinet said to him.

"The Chinese Iron Blood Army has a huge scale. If there is a ground war with it, our army will not win. We will immediately generate electricity to Beiyang and ask the Beiyang to encourage the Su-An government to be responsible for this time." Dazui Chongxin didn't know if this move was useful. Although the Beiyang government was the nominal government of China, the Jiangsu-An government, which is of the same level as the military force, could ignore it at all.

"His Excellency Prime Minister! No! Our spies in the British Concession sent back telegrams! The despicable Chinese are confiscating our goods! Governments of various countries claim that our two countries are in war at this time, so they handed over our merchants!" While he was thinking about how to end the diplomatic war, a government employee suddenly ran in.

"Baga! Damn Chinese, how could they be so shameless! Baga..." Japan's economic model is to sell industrial products to China, acquire Chinese industrial materials, and export them to Europe and the United States. It can be said that its industrial development is inseparable from China, especially silk dyes and other industries, all import low-priced raw materials from China. Now the conflict with China has led to the escalation of the trade war between the two sides. The loss must be their Japan. For a time, Daqian Chongxin fell into a dilemma. Obviously, they also knew that this was a threat from Dengson to them...
