Excluding air strikes, Xie Tian has not been on the battlefield in person for a long time. He did not feel any danger when the shells hit just now, and there was no time and space confusion.
As a result, now Xie Tian, covered in dust, pushed Xiao Qi and Hu Zhiyong away from the ground and climbed up. Only then did he realize that he did not feel the danger. It was Xiao Qi and Hu Zhiyong who blocked the danger for him.
Both people were injured, Xiao Qi was slightly injured, and Hu Zhiyong's back was already bloody.
Xie Tian's eyes immediately turned red. He hugged Hu Zhiyong and shouted loudly: "Hygiene, health worker."
The health worker hurriedly bent down and ran over carrying the medicine box. Several people hurriedly tore open Hu Zhiyong's clothes. The wound on Hu Zhiyong's back was bleeding out. The health worker hurriedly picked up a roll of gauze, pressed the wound and raised his head and shouted: " Stretcher, stretcher.”
Two stretcher soldiers came over and carried Hu Zhiyong onto the stretcher. Hu Zhiyong vomited blood and grabbed Xiao Qi's arm: "Protect... the commander-in-chief..."
Xiao Qi nodded vigorously and said nothing.
The stretcher soldiers and health workers quickly carried Hu Zhiyong away, and several guards rushed to Xie Tian to take over Hu Zhiyong's position. Some people advised Xie Tian to withdraw from the position first.
Xie Tian watched Hu Zhiyong being carried off and raised the telescope again without saying a word. The blood on his hands had stained the telescope red. It was Hu Zhiyong's blood.
The Japanese ships' counterattacks have become weaker and weaker. Under the concentrated fire bombardment of hundreds of cannons, the two destroyers have been riddled with holes. The freighters and passenger ships transporting personnel and materials have no combat capability at all. Those small ships The ship's counterattack basically did not threaten the shore defense.
We have already entered a state of war. There is no need to give any more orders from Xie Tian, just do it.
After two more rounds of shelling, the two Japanese destroyers were completely silenced. The first one to be hit hit a cargo ship of similar tonnage. After being intensively bombarded, it exploded, causing the collided cargo ship to also be sideways. turn.
Xu Haidong also ordered the two cannons of his unit, which were the only ones with the range to reach the Japanese fleet, to join the battle. However, after five rounds of firing, the two cannons became mute. Xu Haidong was too embarrassed to ask Xie Tian for a few rounds. Besides, the People's Liberation Army pulled More than a hundred cannons came over, and the effect of his two cannons was just the icing on the cake. The Kung Fu family who had supporting artillery shells for them fired two more rounds.
Hundreds of guns were fired, and the battle lasted less than twenty minutes. There was only one freighter still burning on the sea, and it had lost power.
The channel out of Qingdao Port has been completely blocked by more than a dozen sunk ships. Now only small ships with shallow drafts can still pass smoothly. The question is, do small ships dare to come? Even if they dare to come, can they attack the Japanese forces in Qingdao? How much role do the 50,000 troops stationed in the country and the 100,000 overseas Chinese play?
Qingdao is one of the earliest colonies opened by foreign powers in China. It was built and named by the Germans.
The Germans spent decades building Qingdao from a small fishing village of less than a hundred people into an international metropolis. Germans immigrated to Qingdao in large numbers, laying a solid industrial foundation for Qingdao and making Qingdao the German capital in China. It was a military fortress and an important port until the Japanese-German War broke out around Qingdao in 1914. The Japanese defeated the Germans and occupied Qingdao, began to immigrate to Qingdao in large numbers, and built a large number of military-industrial enterprises in Qingdao.
Damn it, the war between Japan and Germany started on Chinese soil. It’s so shameful.
The artillery battle had stopped. Xie Tian took a breath and looked at Xu Haidong and said: "General Xu, before Qingdao is liberated, how about my artillery staying at the Phoenix Mountain coastal defense position for the time being?"
Xu Haidong grinned awkwardly. His 344th Brigade occupied Huangdao, but was unable to defend the coastal defense in and out of Qingdao. What else could he say?
Do you really want people to point their fingers at you and scold you for occupying the latrine and not taking a shit?
"Following the order of Commander-in-Chief Xie, the Eighth Route Army troops will evacuate the Phoenix Mountain position from now on and hand it over to the People's Liberation Army for garrison."
Xie Tian said yes and patted Xu Haidong's arm. He just wanted to tell Xu Haidong that I didn't want to compete with you for territory. You can stay wherever you want. Just don't hinder me from doing things. But he didn't expect to leave a bloody mark on Xu Haidong's uniform. Mudra.
Seeing those bloody handprints, Xie Tian suddenly didn't want to say anything.
This damn Phoenix Mountain and Sea Defense Line was bought with my own blood.
Xie Tian looked at Xu Haidong and said: "I'm going to see the wounded first. When Qingdao is liberated, I'll treat you to dinner. Then we can talk slowly."
With the people around him so injured, Xie Tian was not in the mood to sit down with Xu Haidong and talk about any big topics.
In the temporary hospital of Fenghuangshan Coastal Defense Position, more than a dozen injured soldiers were treating their wounds. Two soldiers died and were lying quietly on stretchers, with their faces covered with white cloths.
Xie Tian lifted the white cloth from the soldiers' faces and wiped the blood and gunpowder smoke from their faces. Now he could no longer name each soldier, but he would order people to carve the names of each martyr on the tombstone. .
Hu Zhiyong was rescuing him and was hit by four shrapnel in his back. If he hadn't jumped on Xie Tian, the four shrapnel would have been on Xie Tian or Xiao Qi at this moment.
Xiaoqi was only hit by a shrapnel in his shoulder. The injury was not serious and he was receiving treatment.
Xie Tian visited the wounded with a straight face, did not disturb the doctor who was rescuing Hu Zhiyong, and turned around to start the local tyrant combat mode.
As Xie Tian issued orders one by one, the 1st Air Force Independent Division, the 1st Higashino Air Division, and the 2nd Huaye Air Division flew over Qingdao to carry out indiscriminate coverage and bombing of Qingdao's main combat areas with Air Force 1. The 1st Division of the 1st Nakano Air Force Putting on the chemical defense equipment dropped from the air, carrying the newly issued JH44 assault rifle, they invaded Qingdao city.
Before dusk, the entire territory of Qingdao was recovered.
In the following days, the People's Liberation Army conducted a city-wide screening operation for Japanese nationals in Qingdao. The People's Liberation Army had only one attitude towards the Japanese.
Thank God for breaking his promise, Qingdao was successfully liberated. He did not invite Xu Haidong to dinner, nor did he order Kong Jie to withdraw the artillery stationed at the Phoenix Mountain coastal defense position in Huangdao. Instead, he went to Weihai to join Zhang Xueliang.
Damn it, such an important strategic point is already in my hands. Can I give it back to you easily?
If I invite you to dinner, what should you do if you mention this to me at the dinner table?
Forgot to forget, isn’t it just a meal? I owe it now and wait until the country is liberated.
The more than 100,000 Japanese expatriates in Qingdao were purged. What made Kong Jie embarrassed was that there were thousands of German expatriates in Qingdao. Based on the principle of proximity, Kong Jie called Xie Tian in Weihai to ask how to deal with it. After listening to Kong Jie's report, he just said yes and hung up the phone, leaving Kong Jie confused.
