Battle of the Third Reich

Japan did not have the opportunity to get involved in the Yangtze River Basin until the victory of the Russo-Japanese War. Previously, this large river had been a ban on Western colonists. It was not until the Japanese navy entered the Yangtze River that it found that it had no gunboat suitable for use on this river. In fact, this problem has also been encountered by Western colonists, so a special type of ship was developed, collectively referred to as the [Yangzijiang-type gunboat].

The Japanese navy learned a lot from the British, including the design and use of such shallow water inland ships. At that time, the Japanese-British relationship was still in the honeymoon period, and the British almost taught the Asian ally. Although the appearance of this kind of ship seems to be modified from a civilian ship, it is actually a specially designed armed ship.

The requirements for draft and speed have caused them to generally have a low profile, and the freeboard usually does not exceed two meters, in order to facilitate the use of Chinese-style wooden transport ships and the rough docks on the Yangtze River.

In order to protect the so-called Japanese interests in the Yangtze River Basin, the Japanese navy has designed and built six eleven inland gunboats successively. From this, it can be seen that Japan’s territorial ambitions for China and the importance it attaches to the Yangtze River route.

As colonial forces such as Britain, the United States, France and other countries gradually contracted from the Yangtze River Basin, Japan’s first detachment has basically controlled the Yangtze River route from Shanghai to Hankou. The only thing not controlled by them is the rice. Or a large foreign merchant ship under the Stars and Stripes.

Japan’s water blockade on the government has promoted the booming of the Anglo-American cargo ship smuggling business. Every day, dozens or even hundreds of tons of strategic materials are secretly imported into the government control area by land and sea transportation. The source of all business is the The magic capital at the mouth of the Yangtze River is on the beach.

Although half of the troops of the first detachment were placed in Shanghai, because at this time Japan could not tear the face with the Western powers, it was impossible to supervise the transportation of Western merchant ships. In the face of repeated accusations by the Army, the Navy believed that it had fulfilled its duties, and the army horse dung did not understand the inside and were not qualified to complain.

[Biliang] is the No. 2 ship of the [Positive] class gunship. This is the largest number of all Yangtze River inland gunships built by Japan. There are four sister ships in total.

This fully loaded 380-ton gunboat is equipped with two 80mm high-level dual-purpose naval guns and six Lewis machine guns. It is equipped with two expansion reciprocating steam engines with a power of 2100 horsepower and a speed of 16 knots. , Fully in line with the Japanese Navy’s standards for the Yangtze River gunboat.

[Biliang] Just two days ago, a two-week cruise ended. The sailors stayed on the ship to do the post-voyage preparation work, clean up the debris left by the voyage, rinse the inner cabin and deck, and replace the ship at the same time. Parts damaged during the mission. Such inland gunboats are usually looser in sailor discipline, but they still adhere to the strict requirements of the Japanese navy in terms of equipment maintenance.

[Bilara] Captain Nagasawa Captain Nagasawa didn’t go to [Prince Eugen] because he caught a cold. When the combat readiness was issued, he was drinking **** cooked for him by the Chinese chef in the spacious captain’s room. soup.

After putting down the phone, the captain dragged his nose into the bridge and rang the entire ship's battle alert.

[Biliang] should be equipped with 62 crew members according to the standard. In fact, due to the limitation of living conditions, few inland gunboats are full. At present, the number of officers and soldiers on this gunboat is only 51, including including A Chinese chef hired in Hanyang and four Chinese handymen belong to non-combatants.

The captain conveyed the command of the commander to the assembled sailors, not far from the Bund. The sailors had long noticed the black smoke and the fierce sound of guns and guns there. It's not that you're engaged in actual combat exercises. Now that the truth was heard from the captain's mouth, the officers and soldiers were immediately excited, and they swarmed into the cabin, quickly arming themselves.

The Japanese navy did not need any mobilization to fight the army. From the moment they were enlisted in the army, these navy soldiers were instilled with naval values ​​full of their brains. Even the lowest service soldiers contempt the army's land turtles from the bones.

The navy is a technical arm. It has high requirements for the cultural quality of its soldiers. In terms of the treatment of soldiers, it also throws the army out of several streets.

While the Japanese Army’s meals were still calculating portions, the Japanese Navy had already begun to calculate calories. When the Japanese Army learned to calculate calories, the Navy was calculating nutrition.

There must be meat for three meals, enough rice for soup, rice, desserts after the meal, beer for leisure, some battleships with excellent conditions, and cold drinks in the summer, which makes the army who eat the cold rice **** in the sun and rain Soldiers, how could their eyes be red without jealousy.

The contradiction between the Japanese army and navy has been around for a long time, and there has not been a fire until now, which is really a miracle.

In private, fighting and fighting between officers and soldiers of the two armed forces is a common thing. When encountering such a group of racks, people generally think that the army must have the upper hand. Isn’t these manure training every day to fight on the ground? But in fact, in this kind of private private fighting, the victorious party is often the navy officers and soldiers.

First of all, navy soldiers like to go in groups on the street. Vacations are divided according to the left and right sides of the ship. They often go down to the half boat people at once. When the fleet is resting at the port, hundreds of sailors can often be summoned by the street. Resident places have strict restrictions on the number of campers, and as a result, the number of people will often fall into the disadvantage.

In addition, the Japanese navy’s meals are nutritious and their physical qualities are generally better than those of the army soldiers. In this regard, the US military in history can provide proof. Usually, after the Japanese guards on the island have exhausted their food, it is often the navy that lasts until the end. When the army When the soldiers were so hungry that they could not walk, the navy side was at most hungry and thinner, still able to jump around in the woods.

In addition, the Japanese navy conducts strict melee training for sailors. Kendo and judo are important subjects for naval training, and because the melee subjects are relatively simple, the training time is often longer than that of the army soldiers. They have been cultivated for many years, and many of them can reach high levels. Is a master of combat, so the Navy does not suffer from fighting.

The navy sailors on the [Billian] battled with the army guys in Liuxiang, Huajie, Hongkou. The No. 109th Wing was their old opponent. This time they heard that the group of horse dung had broken their brains. At this time, if you don’t fall into the well and teach the other party, can you still be a good man in the Japanese navy?

In spite of his physical discomfort, Captain Hasegawa decided to take the soldiers out of his own hands. With the help of the service soldier, the captain changed a stiff navy uniform, put on a soft combat cap, and tied his waist with a cowhide knife that had not been used for a long time. Take the navy-style saber that has been placed on the knife holder of the captain's room.

Hasegawa slung a black pistol holster on his shoulders, and Browning 1910, who pulled out the holster, checked the magazine and immediately pulled the rifle with force.

"Go!" (Departure) Hasegawa glanced at the people who were neatly arranged on the pier. No more nonsense, and he led the team neatly to the meeting place in the order.

ps: I'm in a bad state today, with fewer words. I will try to make up for a chapter tomorrow.

thanks for your support.
