"Positions in fact, there has always been a question in my mind …" Long Deshted’s right hand is holding the brim of the hat to slightly hold up the military hat so that the moisture accumulated in the hat will disperse and the temples will be slightly red, and at this time, it is also dripping with sweat.
"Why should we fight the Japanese?" For this problem, Chen Tian seems to have become accustomed to it. Although German soldiers are famous for being ignorant of political affairs, it doesn’t mean that they won’t think about being involved in a fierce and cruel war to calm down. The German army has occupied the dominant position so far, but look at the casualty figures of groups: Vladivostok z24o people were killed, 13,474 people were injured and 70 people were captured. 14,327 people were killed and 4,924 injured in Kuye Island; 2,374 people were killed in Hawaii and about 11oooo people were injured; 12,733 people in Southeast Asia have been killed and 452oo injured. 6 Hundreds of officers and men have been killed in the Korean Peninsula tsunami war plan. Germany has lost more than 30,000 professional soldiers, and nearly 40,000 people have been disabled for life. This seems to be a negligible figure for a huge empire with a population of nearly 100 million and more than 100 million colonies.
但当你细细思考每个生命价值时你会现这些数字是多么触目惊心
“不陛！我是想说什么中国有四亿多人口是日将近6倍却被人数居于绝对劣势日军队打得毫换手力！”
龙德施泰德很诚恳地看着辰天在辰天出回答前他似乎就已经确定能够从对方身得到答案
对于辰天人而言这个问题绝对算不陌生但从德日战来却极少有人问起
“这个问题很深刻也很深奥！将军你接触过意大利军队吗？”
龙德施泰德放右手“虽然有寥寥几次但是道听途说地却很多！”
“感觉怎么样？”辰天又问
“呃就我个人观点那是一支很特别军队！由于政治、经济等原因他们地装备水平相对比较落后在1914年表现也十分令人失望！”龙德施泰德不假思索回答到
“如果在一片阔地带将军你有把握一个标准德国6军师打败6个意大利师吗？”
龙德施泰德初辰天是在玩笑但当他看到对方非常认真表情便重新思考起来好一会儿他才谨慎回答到
“陛我想这很难办到但也不是绝对不可能因意大利人士兵缺乏战斗意志和决心他们配合也如同一盘散沙要能够个个击破……”
“那你知道在2o年代初整个中国有多少地方势力吗？”不等龙德施泰德完成他军事分析辰天冷不丁问到
"Er … I don’t know the exact number, but it should be a lot!"
"Different local forces are intrigued and conquering each other, and foreign forces are willing to profit from it, so that the country can be shaped in one word, that is, national defense!" Chen Tianyu took off his hat. "If France is in such a state, I think Germany will not hesitate to invade even if they have a population of 400 million!"
"But isn’t China under the control of a central government at present?" Lundstedt still looked puzzled. "Why would they lose a piece of land equivalent to two days before we came?" As far as I know, at that time, the total strength ratio between China and China in the battlefield was two to one, and the Japanese army could dispatch troops to the front line through the railway line, but the Japanese army needed to be tied up for long-distance cross-sea transportation! "
"The general has a unique oriental skill, which I’m afraid you can’t understand. Just like today’s situation, we have come a long way to help them, but they are trying to make us and the Japanese lose each other. It’s really chilling to say it!"
Say, Chen Tian walks towards the top of the mountain with his hand behind his back, leaving Lundstedt or thinking in situ.
At noon on the same day, China’s army line attack failed. The news was that Chentian and his senior generals knew that this "defeat" was not really due to the "stubborn resistance of the East Army", but it did not affect the German officers and men on the Korean Peninsula to continue to fight bravely. On the sixth day from the Battle of Deng6, Daejeon’s Japanese headquarters in North Korea and the largest railway hub in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula finally failed to withstand the impact of German fighters and fell.
Destroy the day Chapter one hundred Outside Busan Port
How long will this war last?
For such a problem, in this battlefield, everyone will have their own speculation and hope. Generally speaking, most people are willing to see the war end early.
Of course, there are also a handful of people with different minds who will pray that the war will last for a year or two, and it is best to fight a long war so that their selfish desires can be satisfied to the maximum extent.
On this issue, Maxi milian von Speer, who is about to be awarded the rank of Admiral of the fleet and the Grand Cross, holds another mentality, a contradictory psychology that he hopes the German to win a complete victory as soon as possible and does not want to see his naval career end prematurely.
Despite his good performance in the previous war, Speer is also very white. Time waits for no man. This is an eternal truth. In a few months, he will be 69 years old. In such an era of new people, few people can still serve in the first-line army at this age. Although Speer is still very strong, he knows that the best time to end his military career is coming when he learns that the German emperor will personally come to award himself the rank of Admiral of the fleet and the high cross.
At this time, although the sea was cold and windy, Shi Pei was reluctant to smell the familiar salty smell of the sea on the bridge. The waves in the vicinity kept beating against the thick steel hull of the warship and exploded faintly in the distance. It was his frigate that made the deep-water bomb attack the enemy submarine and the stars that were particularly clear that night. I should say goodbye to them in the near future.
"General, we have arrived in the off-shore of Busan. Are we going to show and shell as scheduled? Please indicate! "
How many times will this be the last time I have heard such a report before the war?
A sudden sense of inexplicable loss rose in Spey’s heart. If only he could remain in his beloved Admiralty as a senior consultant after retiring from the frontline, he would not be too far away from these most loyal warships. But if he completely retired to the countryside, I’m afraid there wouldn’t be many opportunities to scold the sea like now.
"Well, I ordered the fleet to book the shelling formation exhibition, and the destroyer units paid attention to protecting the minesweeper forces of the shelling fleet to sweep the mines in the direction of the port! Shelling after half an hour! " Then Spee took out the pocket watch that had accompanied him for many years, and the golden shell was not rusted by years, but it became brighter in the process of constant clothes dawdling. Spee wished that he could not lose his age like it, just as Spee felt that his mind and body were in an ideal state in this battle-in the bright red afterglow of the sunset, a large number of ships from Germany, Mexico and Chile moved four battleships rapidly and orderly. A battle cruiser and six heavy cruisers formed this fleet’s shelling force. With the fall of korsakov, Speicher was in army of one for two months. It was not until the German high command reorganized the navy’s western Pacific group that he became a veritable fleet commander again. After arriving at the allied fleet from the Kuril Islands South German fleet for six days, he was incorporated into it. This fleet soon passed the original first fleet in the Pacific Ocean.
Opposite this allied fleet, Busan is the best natural harbor on the Korean Peninsula.
There is no strong fortress comparable to Vladivostok or sasebo. After all, neither the Japanese navy nor the Sixth Army has ever regarded Busan as the defense focus. In their concept, no country’s fleet can attack here through Ma Haixia or the Korean Strait. However, the world is absolutely at this time, the Japanese sea is no longer a Japanese "sea". Ships from Germany, Mexico, Chile and even Australia can roam freely here. Soon, even the US navy will join this ranks.
Today, Spee’s opponent is less than 3,000 Japanese soldiers, a mixed port garrison and 12 large-caliber fortress guns. Although the caliber of those fortress guns has reached 20 mm, most of them have experienced the Japanese-Russian war. The range and shooting are already old.
Even if it is hidden behind strong fortifications, it can compete with the powerful German battleships.
A considerable number of destroyers and submarine chaser minesweepers around the German artillery fleet are also in a state of fighting. It is precisely because of them that the Japanese navy, mines and fast attack ships are competing against each other in this day’s sea. This has stopped the Japanese army from attacking the Korean Peninsula. Not only have a large number of mines been deployed in the Strait, but also a limited number of submarines have been sent out. Even the heavy cruiser "Haifeng", which has not been officially commissioned, has left its home port and entered the southwest of the sea of Japan.
Although a famous cruiser, Sea Breeze is actually another new warship with flight deck and large-caliber naval gun after German Navy August Wihelm Anton Neithardt von Gneisenau and Leipzig. Its maximum voyage can reach 3o5 knots, and it can take up to 12 ships and is equipped with 2o3 mm naval gun!
Obviously, the German high command will not take such an expected "following the wind" as a big worry. Their only regret is that although the Japanese navy has a huge follow-up plan for navigation warships, this one was put into practice during the German-Japanese war, and it cost the Japanese government about 10 million yen in finance. However, the Japanese Admiralty regarded it as the last straw after the disastrous defeat-they hoped that the "Sea Breeze" could harass the Germans on the Japanese-Japanese sea route and let most of the German ships in this area by virtue of its high-altitude aircraft and its own aircraft.
It’s a pity that Lao La Spee didn’t follow the Japanese train of thought. According to the instructions of the High Command, he divided the whole fleet into a main action formation and a number of mobile formations. Those mobile formations, which are also called "123 formations", usually include a 10,000-ton escort carrier, two 10,000-ton cruisers and five destroyers with long voyage and strong anti-submarine capability. The biggest feature of such a formation is that the naval firepower is balanced and the overall navigation is fast. They can both escort the transport fleet and carry out the warning alone. Unless the whole main fleet is dispatched, it is difficult to threaten this
Behind Spee, it was divided into 76 boarding ships, more than 6ooo soldiers of the German Navy and 12oo Mexican soldiers. The boarding operation was scheduled to start in Lebanon, but it would be the most exciting night for those soldiers from the Mexican Navy. Therefore, they had not participated in an overseas boarding operation before, and most of them were going abroad for the first time. In the past, the country was always bullied by the United States of America, and finally they had the opportunity to show it on the international stage. Everyone in the Mexican President’s ordinary team 6 had a feeling of being proud and carefree.
The current situation looks great, but every time I think about these upcoming beaches in foreign countries, Spee, a Mexican soldier, was still a little uneasy because he was informed in a secret message from the Far East Group Command in Qingdao that the German ground forces had changed their operations on the Korean Peninsula from "going north and south" to "going north first and then south", but the allied forces still moved to Busan as originally planned. After boarding the sixth battle, the sixth battle troops would not attack north, but rely on the naval cover to defend Busan, and the corresponding Spee fleet was extended when it stayed in Busan waters. Although this fleet was sufficient to confront the Japanese and Japanese navies, Spee was worried about the number of Japanese submarines left.
Half an hour later, the Coalition fleet was lost as promised, and the shelling on the other side was huge. As night fell, Spee was worried. At 6: 10 pm, the destroyer detachment in the southeast of the fleet reported that more than ten small ships with different identities were coming from Tsushima Island. Judging from their navigation and track, it was most likely a Japanese navy torpedo boat.
"The 1st and 2nd artillery detachments maintain the current formation. The 5th destroyer detachment and the 9th submarine chaser detachment are scattered in the east and south!"
Spee reached these long-awaited adjustments and deployments without much thought. In recent years, the Japanese navy’s enthusiasm for this "unified weapon" has been greatly reduced because it is keen on giant ships, artillery and aircraft carriers and has tasted the sweetness of torpedo attack tactics many times in the Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese wars.
Nevertheless, from the explosion of the World War in 1914 to the day before the German-Japanese War in 1992, the navy successively developed nearly ten kinds of torpedo boats, including small high-altitude torpedo boats that could be carried by battleships, and torpedo boats purchased from German and American navies for analysis and research, and the imitation displacement varied from 10 tons to 40 tons, and the hull was made of wood and steel, and even reached 43 knots.
Because the Japanese navy has always occupied an absolute advantage in the Far East, these types of torpedo boats were built in small batches. By 192, except for those old torpedo boats listed in the reserve, there were only 50 torpedo boats owned by the Japanese navy.
With the help of these Japanese naval torpedo forces, Spee did not dare to be careless. After all, it has been more than a year since the German-Japanese War, and torpedo boats, a small ship, consume less money and resources than battleships. The Japanese government is willing that they can allocate some of their manpower and material resources to build torpedo boats, which is obviously much easier than training a pilot or warship commander to train a group of torpedo crew.
Destroy the day Chapter one hundred and nine Gun base
With the last afterglow of the sunset disappearing into the sky, this harbor has finally recovered calm, even for a moment. It is very rare for people here to rest. It is getting dark, and there is not a cloud in the sky, and the sea breeze is fresh one after another. However, the momentum of the storm is coming, which makes everyone here uneasy and trembling.
This is Busan Port, the southernmost tip of the Korean Peninsula, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the mouth of the sea faces the southeast. The north and south parts of the peninsula extend from six places to the sea. The terrain is not steep, but it is enough to protect the harbor behind when the storm strikes. However, the passage of the two peninsulas is four or five thousand meters, which is not conducive to military defense. Therefore, the Japanese occupiers have not built this place into a real military port or fortress.
So when the German allied fleet approached the port, it was guarded by a group of people who had nothing to do with the elite. Some of them were recruited into the army after the war broke out. Some of them had been transferred to the reserve for many years before they came here. Some of them were non-combatants in the logistics force to command their officers. They were so old that they seemed to have problems eating. Some of them were transferred from military academies before completing their courses. This is a group of people left by the main forces, just like the rough leaves left in the basket after the food market broke up.
However, in the face of a strong enemy, these old and weak soldiers, who can’t even be seen by the military, have no intention of giving up their surface ships, which are only equipped with Maxim machine guns and can barely bully North Korean fishermen, but they have other weapons that can threaten the German army to board the Sixth Army-fortress guns, which are deployed on the north and south peninsulas and are older than most of them.
"Think about marshal ITO alive when the imperial navy weak strike strong unexpectedly will suppress our Qing navy annihilation for many years! At that time, I was only 6 years old. When the news of victory came back to China, everyone was proud and proud to smile! At that time, the navy sailors walking in the street were heroes in the eyes of girls, and they were so tall in the eyes of us children! At that time
I am determined to join the navy for more than 30 years, but I can look at my hometown here! "
The dim oil lamp reflects a face full of hatred. This is a blue navy trench coat with a height of 1.6 meters and an age of about 40 years. The Japanese navy chief Cao is less than an inch long. He doesn’t wear epaulettes but is very clean. His costume gives people a capable feeling, but it has left an indelible vicissitudes on his face for many years.
At this moment, his right hand is next to a cold but huge object, which is a cannon with a cast iron base and a dark barrel pointing at the distant sea surface for one year. When it was built, it was once famous for its 32 mm caliber. Soon after, it was installed on the famous Sanjing ship, the Japanese Navy’s cruiser Iwashima, and participated in the famous Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. However, after that, there was little chance to show up. After entering the 10s of the 20th century, it sank with the accidental explosion of Matsushima and Iwashima. "Qiaoli" has been retired. These large-caliber naval guns can’t find their own position in the Japanese navy, and finally they can be "matched with the frontier"-a lonely guardian of the long coastline, and at this time they are accompanied by a group of equally lonely gunners.
"When I was 5 years old, Marshal Dongxiang led the navy to defeat the Russians!" It’s a sailor sitting in a wooden ammunition box. According to the age and time in his words, he is 30 years old this year.
"At that time, it was almost every young man’s dream to enter the naval service with the prestige of the imperial navy in full swing, even if he was the lowest gunner! Fourteen years later, I did it and it was eleven years! "
The low-ranking petty officer’s words are full of disappointment. If it weren’t for the naval battle 12 months ago, he would still be on that Xiongwu heavy cruiser with an enviable sea allowance, instead of eating coarse grains, sleeping in cold bunks and watching the unchanging harbor channel here.
"I hate Germans. I always hate them!"
Behind them, the young warrant officer suddenly spoke. Although he was young, he was the only officer here, not because of his outstanding military exploits or life experience, but because he just graduated from the Imperial Naval Academy, which was a Japanese naval academy with a cradle of marshals. It is said that when senior colleges graduate from here, they usually board the naval main ships, but now the navy doesn’t have enough ships for these cadets, so some lucky people are temporarily assigned to torpedo boats and patrol boats, and unfortunately, they will stay in this cold and damp fortress temporarily.
"But those people around me, those short-sighted guys, the Germans are really helping us! Worship their technology, study their theory and imitate their tactics. What will happen in the end? It’ s not a defeat! "
The young warrant officer hit the thick concrete wall with his fist. Compared with the cannon behind him, this stone concrete artillery base is much newer. However, in the eyes of the local people, these artillery bases are not the blood and sweat of their relatives, but their lives are piled up. In the past 10 hours, the Germans have repeatedly bombed the fortifications here. These hidden giant artillery artillery bases are naturally intended to attack the targets. However, hundreds of kilograms of aerial bombs have not caused fatal damage to these fortresses with a thickness of 3 to 3 meters at the top and front.
In addition to the three men who just spoke, there are more than a dozen others in this large bunker fort made of cement. Most of them have lost their ships and sailors. Some of them have been gunners, and some of them have been working in the bottom of warships before. Although their past experiences are different, their faces are lifeless at this time.
No one made them feel lucky to spend the first 10 hours safely. On the contrary, these old navy birds know that the next test is the most important thing.
