Chapter 369 Xiao Xiaoqi arrives, be the butcher's knife
January 12, 1938, at 6:10 am.
The weather is clear today, and the sun shines out its dazzling light, like countless waterfalls surging down, selflessly scattering its light on the deep blue sea surface. As the sun rises, the entire sea surface is reflected in red and blue, which looks very beautiful and fascinating.
It was originally a very harmonious scene, but the atmosphere in the Daya Bay waters is indeed extremely solemn because of thousands of ships of all sizes here.
Especially on the ship, the endless dark gun barrels make the atmosphere here extremely depressing.
The war is coming!
At this moment, the British First Fleet in Hong Kong, three cruisers with displacements of more than 65oo tons, three destroyers with displacements of more than 5ooo tons, four new frigates, and eight gunboats, a total of 18 warships, lined up, intercepting the progress of the Japanese fleet.
Although there are thousands of Japanese ships, most of them are steamships, sampans, motor ships, etc. that do not have strong attack capabilities.
There are only 20 Japanese ships that can truly participate in large-scale naval warfare, which is only 2 more than the first British Navy fleet in Hong Kong.
It can be said that the naval forces of both sides are almost the same and equal!
"How could there be a British naval fleet here?"
"Why didn't our intelligence department report?"
"Are they all eating shit?"
A Japanese colonel officer roared angrily.
The situation in front of him was unwilling to be angry. The British Navy was like a long sword hitting the sea, stopping them from entering Guangdong.
The originally powerful Japanese army also slid down due to the British interception. Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers present were staring at the British fleet in unison, with their eyes as if they were blasting fire.
"Damn British, their navy dares to block our fleet's way. Do they still want to go to war with our great Japanese~ this empire!"
The captain of the 55th Regiment of the 18th Division, Colonel Shiro Yamazaki said hideously.
"hehe!"
The commander of the 18th Division, Lieutenant General Jiu Nacheng, laughed disdainfully.
"The British came this time just to support the Chinese army. After all, our attack on Guangdong has affected their interests in China, but to talk about starting a war?"
"Although the British have always looked down on us oriental yellow people, they will never go to war with our empire for the sake of mere Chinese people, because they know that it is very unwise to go to war with our great Japanese Empire!"
Upon hearing this, the Japanese officers nodded in agreement.
Although Britain is strong enough to be the world's number one, Japan's high rise in recent years is not a vegetarian. Today, Japan enjoys a very high military status and voice in East Asia and even the entire world.
"There is no strong country in East Asia!"
"This sentence has long passed with the rise of my empire!"
The conflict between the two powerful countries at this time was simply because the little bit of interests in China did not reach an irreconcilable level. Under such circumstances, they would never take action.
This is the principle of profit-oriented in a great country!
The division commander Na Chengichi said calmly: "Order the fleet commander to immediately shout to the British and let them make way, otherwise we will regard it as a provocation to our great Japanese empire!"
The commander of the Japanese fleet, who received the order, immediately shouted to the British army through the warship megaphone, and the content of his shouting was mostly to declare that the Japanese army "is bound to win" in this battle, "I hope the British army will not mislead themselves" and "the friendship between Britain and Japan".
The British troops, who were only 5 kilometers apart with the Japanese fleet, all chuckled lightly at this moment!
"The yellow-skinned monkeys in East Asia must be scared to death when they see our invincible fleet of the Empire of Sun Never Set."
"That's of course, how dare you bare your teeth and be arrogant!"
"Get back, yellow monkeys!"
"Go home and eat shit!"
At this moment, Major General Anthony, the commander of the British fleet, couldn't help but laugh with contempt. He deeply agreed with the words of the officers under his command.
"A mere Japanese~ our country is nothing more than a backward country that has gained momentum, and can bully China. Faced with our powerful Sun-Don't Setting Empire, you can only hate it on the spot!"
Major General Anthony sneered.
The British First Fleet in Hong Kong came this time mainly because it received an order from Sir Joseph, Consul General of the British Consulate in Guangzhou.
"Only in the hands of the Chinese, we can enjoy a lot of economic benefits. Once Guangzhou is captured by the Japanese army, the large amount of benefits we have just obtained from the Chinese will be seriously damaged. Your troops must intercept the Japanese army in the waters of Daya Bay. If the Japanese army still wants to attack Guangdong forcibly, they cannot make them land 6 from Daya Bay, otherwise it will cause my British Empire to lose face."
How could Major General Anthony not know the tricks of Sir Joseph's words?
First, the Japanese army captured Guangdong, which was not in line with Britain's interests in China;
Secondly, the UK has just blackmailed a large amount of fixed assets from Guangdong through the Guangyuan Road incident, and cannot cause unnecessary losses due to war;
The third is checks and balances. Today's Japan is as powerful as the UK imagines. As the world's largest country, the UK will definitely not allow Japan, an East Asian country, to grow up!
About a minute later, the British fleet commander, Major General Anthony, also ordered the soldiers to shout to the Japanese army through the loudspeaker.
"The Bay of Daya is now a temporary waters of my British Empire. Your Japanese army has privately entered the waters of my British Empire without the permission of our British Empire, which has violated the bottom line of peace between the two countries."
"Now, on behalf of the fleet commander General Anthony, I would like to express my harsh condemnation of your actions. Your Japanese army must leave the waters of Daya Bay immediately, otherwise our troops will launch a defensive attack on your fleet!"
The British fleet's shouting made the Japanese army extremely angry.
Daya Bay, your British waters?
Bullshit!
Do you treat our great Japanese~ this empire as a fool?
Our troops mobilized all our troops to come to Daya Bay. How could we retreat because of your British army's warning? If we retreat, wouldn't we be embarrassed by His Majesty the Emperor?
"Your Excellency the division commander, the British are too bullying!"
Captain of the 55th Regiment of the 18th Division, Colonel Shiro Yamazaki said in a deep voice.
The arrogant words of the British army completely ignited the anger of the Japanese officers and soldiers.
Today, Japan and China have won many battles in the Chinese battlefield. In just over a year, it has swept millions of Chinese troops and occupied most of China's millions of square kilometers of land, which has long made all Japanese and Chinese citizens expand.
In other words, Japan already has the capital and military strength to not be afraid of European and American powers!
Lieutenant General Jiu Nacheng, the division commander, said coldly: "The British are just bluffing. My Japanese Imperial Army must reach 6 from Daya Bay today. Not to mention a mere British fleet intercepting it, the British Far East fleet is here. What are we afraid of? Pass on my order and continue to shout to the British army and let them make way!"
"Hi!"
The adjutant responded loudly, his words full of excitement!
yes!
Why do I fear Britain in the Great Japanese Empire?
In the following time, Britain and Japan shouted at each other, and neither gave in. In their words, swear words such as "yellow-skinned monkeys" and "damn British bastards" frequently broke out.
In a blink of an eye, more than ten minutes have passed.
The verbal war between the two sides continues!
Moreover, the more intense the gunpowder smell becomes stronger during the period.
But both the British and the Japanese were trying their best to restrain themselves.
After more than ten minutes of confrontation, the British side also knew that this interception would be impossible to make the Japanese army give up the idea of landing 6 from Daya Bay. Although they were still intercepting Japanese ships, their purpose had been second-rate, and they were simply thinking of using force to deter the Japanese army!
This is to shock the Japanese army and allow the Japanese army to ensure the greatest extent of the British interests in China after capturing the entire Guangdong.
On the other hand, the Japanese army also knew the truth.
It will be impossible for Britain and Japan to start a war in the next year, two years, or even longer.
Starting a war is not in the interests of both parties.
Although the Japanese army was eager to attack the Chinese defenders in Daya Bay, they were still able to waste more than ten or twenty minutes. They were waiting for the arrival of the Japanese 4th Flying Regiment fighter jets.
"As soon as dozens of fighter jets of our army arrived, it was the time when the British Navy retreated!"
The commander of the 18th Division, No. 1 Lieutenant General Jiu Nacheng, stood with his hands behind his back and cut the railway decisively.
Time passes by bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye it is 6:30 am.
At this moment, tiny black dots emerged from the sky in the distance, making a huge buzzing sound. Moreover, the number of black dots was as large as dozens, and they were getting bigger and bigger.
What came here was the Japanese army's 4O fighter jets!
"Why!"
Seeing this, Major General Anthony, the commander of the British First Fleet in Hong Kong, sighed helplessly and said, "Order all warships to make way for a way and let the Japanese ships pass."
Upon hearing Anthony's order, the British officers were also quite disappointed and extremely unwilling to accept it, but they also knew the truth.
Although Britain is the world's largest power, the rise of Japan cannot be ignored. It is possible to intercept the Japanese fleet for a while, but the Japanese fighter plane has arrived. It is not a wise move to intercept it at this time.
At this moment, Lieutenant General Jiu Nacheng, the commander of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army, also observed the movements of the British fleet through the telescope, and couldn't help but smile with contempt.
"The British retreated!"
Immediately, the other Japanese officers were also overjoyed!
After the British retreated, the next step was to fight against the poorly equipped Chinese defenders!
"Our battle of Daya Bay is 6, my great Japanese~ I will definitely win!"
The division commander, Jiu Nacheng, 1st Lieutenant General, was confident.
The Japanese army's idea was right, and the British army's move out of the way was also right, but what they didn't know at this moment was that there was a huge black shadow swimming slowly under the sea of the ships of both sides.
Silent!
Just like a killer hiding in the dark, he took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and measured his sword!
This hidden shadow is the PLA O93 nuclear submarine released by Ouyang!
A high-end weapon worth 5oo points of joy!
Only when the heat is enough can you cook delicious!
The little girl arrived together and took the butcher's knife!
