Chapter 218

In the seventh year of the Republic of China, October 1916, 10 in the Gregorian calendar, Fengbei Village, southern Sakhalin Island

A burst of engine roar alarmed Gohara Shino who was weaving and mending fishing nets. He looked up into the sky suspiciously, and immediately opened his mouth wide. The huge and terrifying "monster" was like a cloud of black clouds, covering the sky from the sky. He flew overhead.

"Amaterasu God!"

Shinro Gohara threw away the tools in his hand and ran towards the house with big strides. He had seen the seaplanes of the Japanese fleet before, but those "monsters" in the sky were astonishingly large and really terrifying!

"Russians, the Russians must be coming!"

Since the last century, the killing on Sakhalin Island has never stopped.

The massacre of the Hezhen people by the Russians on the island, the plundering of the aboriginal people on the island by the Russians and the Japanese, and the fighting between the Russians and the Japanese, the killing has continued.

Tsarist Russia once assigned the northern part of the Kuril Islands to Japan in order to completely occupy Sakhalin Island. After winning the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese immediately tore up the treaty and occupied the entire territory of Sakhalin Island.Soon, the Russians made a comeback.So far, Sakhalin Island has been divided into north and south parts by the central mountain range. Russia established the capital in the north, and Japan established the Kawata Hall in the south. This demarcation is the result of a compromise between the two parties.Russia is busy with the European war, and even Siberia cannot maintain sufficient troops. Japan's economy is on the verge of collapse. The army and navy are fighting for limited military expenditures. When they are full, they will also search for their "insiders" in a small amount of time.

Sakhalin Island was originally used by Tsarist Russia to exile robbers and criminals, and the Russians in the north are not easy to mess with.With the presence of the Japanese army, the Russians will not kill them at any time.In order to get the protection of the army, the Japanese and Koreans in southern Sakhalin took the initiative to give up their food, while other aborigines and ethnic minorities living here could only swallow their anger.

"Airplanes, huge airplanes! The Russians are coming!"

The shouts of Gohara Shino alarmed other people in the village. They ran out of the house one after another, looked up in the direction of Gohara Shinro's finger, and could see the fleet of aircraft in the sky without deliberately looking for it.

"Amaterasu God!"

The Japanese in the village turned pale with fright, and the Korean immigrants in the neighboring village also caused a commotion.When the aborigines on the island who were driven to barren land or lived in the forest saw the fleet of aircraft in the sky, their first reaction was the same as that of Shinro Gohara, thinking they were Russians.

The Russians living in the middle of the island saw the fleet flying to the south from a distance, and murmured to themselves in confusion, "Is it our plane?"

Unfortunately, both the Japanese and the Russians guessed wrong. These bombers and fighter jets do not belong to Russia, nor do they belong to any European country. The five-color national flags are painted on the fuselage of each plane, and they belong to China!

Soon, two bombers spotted the target, and sixteen fighter jets dispersed to search the ground for threats of anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns.

The cabin of the bomber was opened, and bombs fell from the sky one after another. The sound of explosions and screams sounded almost simultaneously.

The Japanese are not fools, and they will not wait to be bombed. They immediately began to look for places to hide. The tunnels dug to avoid the Russian bombardment and the trenches left in several battles are now dispatched. It came in handy.

The Koreans from the nearby villages also came with their burdens on their backs, but there was only so much authentic space, and the Japanese would not "share" with the Koreans.What's more, each of them is carrying a burden!

"Korean pig, get out!"

The cry of the North Koreans will not arouse the slightest sympathy. At this moment, saving one's own life is the most important thing.

The Japanese army also began to organize a "counterattack".

To say it is a counterattack is really flattering them. Anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns are advanced weapons. For the Japanese army who still hold 13-year and 18-year Murata guns, don't even think about it.

Both the field gun and the mountain gun have only 75mm caliber, and there is only one mortar.Each infantry squad is equipped with a "sufficient" number of grenades, but the key is that it is the plane that is attacking them now, should the grenade be used to hit the plane? !

The officers could only organize the soldiers to raise their rifles and at the same time set up their machine guns and shoot into the air.Now was not the time to skimp on bullets, their only hope was to shoot them down with rifles as the planes descended.

It's a pity that the bullets used by Murata guns are different from the bullets used by European infantry rifles.What's more, steel plates are installed under the cabin of Huaxia aircraft, not to mention the 6mm caliber, even the German Mauser and the British Enfield may not be able to penetrate.

Some Japanese soldiers have discovered that the plane in the sky is not Russian, and the logo on the fuselage is clearly the national flag of China!

"Baga, the Chinese people?!"

Today's Japan has almost lost all of its sphere of influence in China. Not to mention Dalian in the northeast, the five Japanese concessions have also been taken back, and the number of Japanese overseas Chinese squeezed into the Shanghai public concession has reached 3000.

The Japanese government and the people are too poor to open their mouths, and the loan from the UK can only be a temporary relief. North Korea has become an important source of food, minerals and timber for Japan. However, since last year, North Korea has also become uneasy. After the payment was made, there were more and more insurgents. The Japanese found that the tried-and-tested methods gradually no longer worked.

The southern part of Sakhalin Island is adjacent to the Sogaya Strait of Hokkaido. The fishery and other materials on Sakhalin Island are very important to Japan.For this reason, Japan specially sent an additional infantry regiment to the south of Sakhalin Island, not only to guard against the Russians, but also to guard against the Chinese across the Tatar Strait.

The changes in China made the Japanese dumbfounded and frightened.Their desire for the mainland is still strong, but the upper echelons of the current Japanese government are not all overwhelmed by fanatical militarism. Some people believe that China is rising today, even surpassing Japan in the Meiji period.If China's internal turmoil cannot be allowed to split, or there will be another Boxer Rebellion, and the European countries will unite with European countries to launch an attack on China, Japan alone will not be able to realize its ambition of encroaching on China.

"We have to change our minds, China is completely different now."

It's a pity that such voices are only a minority, and more Japanese are still full of greed for the mainland across the sea.

This kind of greed will surely let this nation suffer its own consequences!

"Shoot!" A Japanese scorpion holding a command knife roared loudly. His military uniform and bright command knife were too conspicuous. A formation of three fighter jets flew away from the fleet and swooped down. The gunfire on the ground suddenly fell silent, and the Japanese scorpion, who had been shouting just now, fell to the ground, twitched twice, and then fell silent.

The pilots of two parallel fighter jets raised their thumbs up at the same time, another fighter jet flew by, and the pilot inside made a letter V. Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him, he could only touch his nose and return to the team.

The bombing continued, and Fengbei Village, Kawakami Village, Fengyuan City and several nearby villages and Japanese military camps were "cleaned up".The Japanese government office established in Fengyuan City was patronized by bombs one after another, and was strafed by machine guns from fighter jets, completely turning into ruins.You can’t blame the soldiers on the plane for being too “sharp-eyed”, but you can only blame the Japanese for building the government office too “luxuriously”. There is just such a cement and brick building in the middle of a thatched house and a wooden house. Layer, if you don't blow up, who do you blow up?

The bombing didn't last long, fuel was limited, and it was a cross-sea operation. After "throwing" all the bombs they carried, the fleet turned around and returned. Halfway, a fighter jet would hang the last two bombs under the wing. The bombs, which weighed only ten pounds, exploded and burst into flames.

The flames and heat rose from the ground, almost burning the wing of the fighter jet that dropped the bomb, and almost spreading the entire fleet.

"What happened? Who did it?!"

The soldier in the bomber yelled loudly, but unfortunately there is no radio communication equipment in the plane, so he could only yell to himself and another soldier sitting next to him.

Brother Bing, who dropped the bomb, was stunned for a moment, his face was full of excitement, and he almost drove the plane to perform a 360-degree flip in the air.It seemed that either the oil depot or the ammunition depot was hit. The fire together was enough for the Japanese scumbags below to cry to death.

The Japanese who saw the fire really wanted to cry to death. The place where the fire was blown up by the soldiers was a secret ammunition warehouse of the Japanese army. Half of the strategic materials of the Japanese army on the island were stored there, and now all of them are gone.

These supplies were all ordered after the Ministry of the Army and the Ministry of the Navy had strangled them, and they were actually burned by a fire? !

"Extinguish the fire, put out the fire!"

A Japanese army officer jumped up anxiously, and was about to rush up regardless of the soldiers' obstruction, but the sound of explosions stopped him one after another. He could only watch helplessly as the fire burned more and more vigorously, causing him to fall into a sluggish and restless state of mind. despair.

"It's over, it's over..."

The Huaxia aircraft formation only bombed the southern part of Sakhalin Island, and the bombs only fell on the Fengyuan area, which is Sakhalinsk in the Russian population.In the northern part of the island, the Russians in distant places still don’t know what happened in the southern part of the island, while in the central part of the island, the Russians and other ethnic minorities who are close to the Japanese ruled area can hear the fire even if they can’t see it. terrible sound.

The ground trembled, and some people thought it was an earthquake.In fact, this is only the result of the joint [-]-kilogram bomb and the Japanese gunpowder depot.

"not us."

After the Russians in the northern part of Sakhalin got the news of the bombing in the south, they immediately sent a telegram to the country to confirm. When they learned that there was no bombing plan at all, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and then came to a conclusion, which was quite a terrible conclusion. .

"It's from Huaxia."

God, have the Chinese been able to make bombers?

The Russians were disturbed that if they could bomb the Japanese one day, they would be able to bomb them tomorrow.The armies of Huaxia and Russia have been at constant friction since Manchuria. Huaxia's long-legged boundary marker has penetrated into Eastern Siberia, but in order to obtain important supplies, the Tsar still allows the Chinese to use the Siberian Railway.

That's rather odd, and even stranger that no one disputes it.Huaxia still maintains a neutral stance towards the European war, and Russia has never thought of declaring war on China.

The fighting on the Eastern Front has exhausted Russia, and most of the domestic factories have shut down. Except for military industrial enterprises, almost none of the factories' machines are still running.

A large number of young and middle-aged laborers were sent to the battlefield, and women and the elderly could not grow more food even though they carried hoes.

The revolutionaries headed by Comrade Vladimir lost no time in their uprising propaganda, calling on the people to rise up and overthrow the tsar.Strikes appeared frequently, and the successive sailor uprisings in September and October almost emptied the Tsar's power. He lost control of both the domestic economy and the European battlefield.

Russia at this time, like the Balkan Peninsula before the outbreak of World War I, has become a powder keg that could explode at any time.

However, the flames in the Balkans ignited the whole of Europe, and the fire that burned on Nicholas II would cause him to lose his throne and his life.

At the same time, the border guards that penetrated into Russia launched another attack in East Siberia. Andrei, the commander-in-chief of the East Siberian border army, lost control of the border army just like Nicholas II on the throne. He could only use gold coins He went to buy the Cossack cavalry with gems, but unfortunately, the Cossack cavalry who had fought against the frontier army many times could not be easily moved again.

Semyonov, head of the Ninth Cossack Cavalry Regiment, publicly declared that he would not go to war with the Huaxia if he could not get enough compensation.

Tanks are no longer a secret, and ugly monsters have appeared on the battlefields of Siberia.

This vast plain will maximize the power of tanks. Only three tanks and one infantry regiment are needed to defeat or even wipe out an infantry division of the Russian army.

Russia, which has internal and external troubles, not only lost the Chinese land it seized before, but also changed from a robber to a "robbed" role.The vast East Siberia will soon be separated from the territory of Tsarist Russia.

At this time, the Kirov resistance organization in Irkutsk had internal divisions. Regarding the actions of the Chinese army in East Siberia, the members of the resistance organization were divided into two factions. The leader believes that they must be vigilant against China, while the other faction believes that what they are resisting is the tsar, and as long as they can fight the tsar, they will regard each other as friends.

Kazan did not express too many opinions in front of Kirov. He always expressed firm support for Kirov's words without any doubts, thus gaining Kirov's greater trust, while Trotsky But drifted away from Kirov.

Kirch's activities in the resistance organization made Kirov very vigilant, and he began to worry about whether Trotsky was also playing with this armed force.

Once in control of power, he will not allow anyone to threaten his position, just like Vissarionovich in the Soviet Union.

finally.Still, the desire for power has the upper hand. While Kirov declared that he would consider the suggestions of Korch and others, on the other hand he mobilized the army and moved from Irkutsk to Krasnoyarsk. The attacking East Siberia region is completely in the opposite direction.

Liao Xiwu of the Frontier Army was sitting on a tank. Soldiers armed with submachine guns and rifles scattered around the tank and followed the tank. A row of disarmed Russian captives, holding their heads in their hands, followed the march obediently.

The soldier driving the tank lifted the top cover and said to Liao Xiwu who was sitting on the tank: "Master, can you change the place?"

"It's good for me to sit here."

"But you keep blocking the opening of the machine gun."

"...I am willing!"

Brother Bing: "..." The barrel carts assigned to division officers are on the side, and there are troop trucks behind. The commander of a dignified division insists on sitting on the tank and blocking the firing port. What is going on? ?

Several fast horses came running from the front, and the scouts immediately reported to Liao Xiwu that a Russian fortress was found ahead.

Liao Xiwu jumped off the tank with one hand, jumped onto the barrel truck newly designed and produced by the North Automobile Factory, and waved his hand: "Ready to attack!"

Compared with the first car that was completely hand-built by master craftsmen, today's North Automobile Factory has fully mechanized, and has achieved self-production from engines to auto parts.Although the cost is high and the output is low, Chinese people still take pride in driving vehicles with the logo of Guanbei Automobile Factory.

"This is a Chinese car!"

President Lou Da also specially sent a telegram from the capital, requesting that the produced civilian cars be sent to the capital first.

"It was impossible before, but now we can make it ourselves, and what kind of things do foreigners look like?"

First, President Lou Da, then Zhan Changqing, Bai Baoqi, and even Tao Lao, the Minister of Education, also sent telegrams to "set up" friendship.The military government of the six northern provinces occupies a favorable location and people, and even "changed trains" before the coalition government.

Li Jinyan also bought a car for the Marshal's Mansion, which was praised by Boss Bai. The next day, the car was requisitioned by several old gentlemen, and they must be used when going in and out.Li Jinyan wants to use the car, but also needs to arrange the number.

Fortunately, the second batch of antiques is about to arrive, so we can divert the attention of these old gentlemen. Otherwise, Li Sanshao may have to go to the automobile factory to cut off his beard under the pressure of all parties.

On October 27, the Huaxia Air Force carried out its first bombing of the Japanese-occupied area in southern Sakhalin.The Japanese government jumped up to protest and showed evidence that the bombing affected civilians.

The Chinese government's answer to this is that the Chinese Air Force is conducting military exercises on "its own homeland", so why did it blow up and injure Japanese civilians?What do the Japanese want to do by running to the Chinese islands without permission?The one who should give the answer is not Huaxia, it should be Japan.

The Japanese turned blue with anger, but there was nothing they could do.

Tsarist Russia, which forced the Qing government to sign the Aihui Treaty and the Beijing Treaty, through these two treaties, Tsarist Russia ceded more than one million square kilometers of land from China, including Sakhalin Island.

Marshal Lou launched several wars against Russia, re-signed the Manchuria Treaty and Hailanpao Treaty, abolished the Aihui Treaty and Beijing Treaty, and expressly stipulated that the land occupied by Tsarist Russia should be recovered.

Since then, in "jurisprudence", Sakhalin really does belong to China.It is untenable for the Japanese to protest against China on the grounds that civilians were killed and injured on the island.

Japan's arrogance was extinguished, but Zhan Changqing pointed out that the Chinese army would still conduct live ammunition "drills" on the island from time to time, and the Chinese government would not guarantee the personal safety of the illegal immigrants on Sakhalin Island.If there are more "civilian" casualties, the Huaxia government can only express regret.

That is to say, Huaxia didn't invite you here, you came here by yourself, and you still linger, if you are unlucky and you are killed by the bomb, then you should bear it yourself, Huaxia will not be responsible, let alone compensation, even funeral expenses .

Both Japan and Russia think that China's navy is still weak, and the invincible army on land is helpless against the islands.But it never occurred to him that Marshal Lou didn't plan to "play" naval battles with them at all, the fleet couldn't fight it, and came directly from the air.

There are not many planes, but they can bomb in turn. Anyway, the area of ​​Sakhalin Island is not "too big". The current attack targets are only the Japanese expatriate gathering area and the army stationed area on the island. The soldiers who flew the plane said that one day Two trips, no stress!

From the end of October to the end of the year, except for the windy and snowy weather that is not suitable for flying, the Huaxia plane will make a circle to the south of Sakhalin almost every one to two days, dropping a few bombs. The Japanese were miserable by the bombing, and the Russians in the north began to consider whether to run away first?After all, the Japanese were abused like this, and they were terrified when they saw it.

The Japanese navy dispatched three cruisers, but in November, several ports in Sakhalin Island have entered the freezing period, and there are mines laid by the Chinese Navy under the water. Before the three cruisers crossed the Soya Strait, one of them was triggered. When a mine hits, there is almost no return.

However, even if it goes to Sakhalin Island, the Japanese will do nothing. What can a warship do if the plane is flying in the sky?Shoot into the air?

As soon as the news of the bombing of Sakhalin Island came out, the previous news about the collusion between the six northern provinces and foreign forces was immediately suppressed. Although there were still people who did not give up, they still clamored in the newspapers, but the attention of the Chinese people was still focused on The Chinese army bombed Sakhalin Island.

By the end of November, Huaxia's intelligence personnel brought two middle-aged men with bows and arrows and dressed in ethnic minority costumes to Khabarovsk. They were Hezhe people living on Sakhalin Island and came here by boat from the island at night.

Their arrival means that the Japanese on the island have been "almost" bombed, and it also means that the plan to recapture Sakhalin Island formulated by Marshal Lou is about to enter the final stage.

The land belonging to the Huaxia people, even if there is only one stone, must be taken back!
