After a long-distance marching day, Li Guosheng, commander-in-chief of the Ninth Army, was already sitting in Shenyang City, which was originally the position Zhang Xueliang should have.

Commander-in-chief Li Guosheng was walking in the command center and admiring the ancient office in front of him. A rapid knock on the door suddenly reached Li Guosheng's ears.

"Come in..." Li Guosheng quickly put away his relaxed mood and shouted to the door.

As soon as the words fell, the door of the confined office was pushed open. Then, the deputy chief of staff Xiong Shaowen appeared in front of Li Guosheng with a slightly excited figure.

Before Li Guosheng could speak, Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen had already reported excitedly: "General, good news, good news for the Air Division... The Japanese Navy escort fleet, except for a heavy cruiser and the Akagi aircraft carrier, floated and then outside the sea because it lost its power, all the remaining ships, including the Battleship of the USS King Kong, were sunk."

Li Guosheng didn't react for a moment, and looked at Xiong Shaowen in front of him without saying a word.

In Li Guosheng's heart, this good news came too quickly. According to his analysis of the strength between the enemy and us, the entire naval battle would not take place at all. Now, from the beginning of the war, it was over in less than three hours.

Faced with this unexpected result, it took half a minute before Li Guosheng reacted from his shock. He asked Xiong Shaowen in front of him: "Does Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong know the battle process? What I want to know the most now is how the navy and air force ate the Japanese escort fleet in such a short time. You must know that the Japanese escort fleet is not only equipped with a large number of battleships and heavy cruisers, but also equipped with a medium aircraft carrier."

Xiong Shaowen shook his head and replied: "Chief. The specific battle has not been reported by Commander Guo, the Air Division, yet. In addition, there is a problem on the front line. Because the relationship is too big, Commander Guo and Commander Sun of the Navy hope that Chief General can make a decision?"

Li Guosheng nodded, quickly put away his curiosity about the naval battle, and asked, "What's the problem? Both of them can't solve it..."

"It's about the final solution of the remaining two warships and ten transport ships in the Japanese escort fleet."

"The Navy Commander Sun means: to capture these warships as much as possible and enhance the strength of our navy. However, Commander Guo, the Air Force, meant to fight quickly and end the battle as soon as possible and sink all ships to the sea. In addition, Commander Guo also reported that although the remaining Japanese warships lost power and became living targets for the Air Force, the various naval weapons on the deck of the two warships are still there. In other words, the two warships still have the ability to fight one battle. If the navy is dispatched to force them to capture them, the navy fleet will definitely pay a considerable price."

After nodding thoughtfully, Li Guosheng asked back: "Not only that... If nothing unexpected happens, the two people have a lot of differences in the handling of ten transport ships and a total of 100,000 elite Japanese army soldiers..."

"The chief wise..." Xiong Shaowen said.

"The Air Force Commander Guo's meaning is that for these Japanese who intend to invade Chinese territory, they do not need to show mercy at all. They will directly sink them into the sea and feed fish together with the transport ship."

Li Guosheng nodded and responded: "It is not surprising that Guo Zhenghua said this. You know, before he actually joined my Ninth Army, all of Guo Zhenghua's family died at the hands of the Japanese. So when it comes to hatred for the Japanese, almost no one can compare to him."

After saying that, he continued to ask at Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen: "What does the navy mean?"

Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen replied: "The Navy Commander Sun means: After all, 100,000 Japanese troops have 100,000 lives. If you can kill or hurt, try not to kill or hurt. Otherwise, our Ninth Army will definitely be pushed to the peak of public opinion under the hype of the Japanese government and even the National Government, and will bear the infamy of killing innocent people in the hearts of the people across the country..."

Faced with two completely different ideas, Li Guosheng fell into deep thought and said to himself: "What Guo Zhenghua and Sun Haijun both said makes sense..."

Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen asked with a puzzled look: "Master, how should we reply to this telegram?"

"Of course, we will reply according to Sun Haijun's statement. If the Japanese cannot accept the warships they delivered to their door, it would be too incompetent..." Li Guosheng responded.

After saying that, a greedy smile quickly flashed from Li Guosheng's face.

At this moment, Li Guosheng had already thought of the scene of forming China's first aircraft carrier formation after capturing these warships. As for the 10,000-ton transport ships, Li Guosheng was confident that the addition of these transport ships would have great benefits for the development of the Chinese navy, China's shipping, and even the development of China's shipbuilding industry.

Of course, Li Guosheng would not let go of such a huge benefit.

As for the 100,000 elite troops on the ten Japanese transport ships, it seems that after captives, they will waste a lot of food in their hands and help the Japanese raise soldiers. In fact, Li Guosheng, who came from later generations, had enough ways to extract enough benefits from these prisoners.

Although the three northeastern provinces under the rule of Zhang Xueliang, father and son of the Northeast Army, have experienced more than ten years of development. However, in Li Guosheng's view, these developments are very unbalanced. Various economic investments are limited to local areas of the three northeastern provinces, especially Shenyang, the economic and political center of the three northeastern provinces.

It can be said that half of the 30 million people in the three northeastern provinces live in Liaoning and around Shenyang. As for the economy of the three northeastern provinces, at least half are located in Shenyang, Liaoning.

In Li Guosheng's view, the entire three northeastern provinces have experienced such unbalanced development. Limited population resources, especially the population of less than 10 million in Heilongjiang and Jilin, is a very critical factor. Of course, in addition to this, there is another crucial restrictive factor, that is, the restrictions on roads in the three northeastern provinces.

In the pass, there is at least one recommended road between almost every town that can be opened to traffic. However, in the three northeastern provinces, even many county towns are between county towns. There is no road with a width of more than three meters.

Under such circumstances, no matter how fertile the land in the three northeastern provinces is, no matter how much mineral resources are buried underground, they will not be developed because there is no road transportation and various commodities cannot be circulated.

Since he will take charge of the three northeastern provinces in the near future, he will fight against the entire Japanese government with the strength of the three northeastern provinces. Then, developing the three northeastern provinces and solving these two current problems has become a problem that Li Guosheng must consider.

Now, seeing the electric board sent by Guo Zhenghua, Li Guosheng's inspiration suddenly came to his mind and suddenly thought of a solution to one of the problems. He used a large number of Japanese soldiers captured on the battlefield to build roads for himself and the entire three northeastern provinces for free until the Japanese government was willing to pay a large sum of funds to redeem these prisoners.

Therefore, in the face of these sudden free labor and these treasures that can exchange a large amount of ransom from the Japanese government, Li Guosheng's first idea was to take it for himself.

After confirming the feasibility of the whole thing, a cunning smile quickly flashed across Li Guosheng's face.

He ordered to Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen in front of him: "Deputy Chief of Staff, you will immediately reply to Commander Guo Zhenghua: Order the First Division to use clear code immediately. Speak to the Japanese Navy on the sea, and ask them to surrender to our Chinese team immediately and not to commit any acts of destroying the warship. Otherwise, our Chinese Air Force will immediately launch an attack on the Japanese transport ship. Sink it, and let 100,000 elite Japanese army soldiers be buried under the sea with them."

"In addition, call back to Commander Sun of the Navy: Order the naval fleet to prepare for the Japanese surrender ships immediately. Once the Japanese ships surrender, they will be dragged to the shipyard for renovation. At the same time, find a way to salvage the Japanese ships that have already sunk to the bottom of the sea. As for the Japanese Navy and Army officers and soldiers who surrendered to our army, they will all be escorted to Lushunkou by transport ships, and I will draw two infantry regiments to pick up these prisoners at Lushunkou."

“Yes, chief seat”

Although I don’t know if the Japanese Navy will be threatened to be obedient, after seeing the strong confident expression on Li Guosheng’s face, Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen chose to believe it. He responded loudly and left Li Guosheng’s office...

…………………………………

"Is this method of the chief executive OK?"

After receiving the telegram handed to him by the ammunition handed to him in the cockpit of a bomber over the entrance of the Yalu River, Guo Zhenghua, the commander of the Cyclone Division, could not help but ask back to himself.

However, this rhetorical question was immediately refuted by a smile full of self-deprecating smile.

Maybe he was talking to himself, or to his subordinates behind him, and said again: "In my impression, the chief officer has never done anything that he can't do. Maybe this threat will really make the Japanese Navy worry about it and even surrender to us. However, even so, we must make the Japanese believe what our Chinese Air Force said, can do, and believe in our threat to them."

After saying that, he decisively ordered the walkie-talkie in front of him: "Note to the Second Regiment of the Hong Kong Second Regiment: The remaining bombers of the fourth and fifth squadrons will be taken, and immediately go to the Japanese transport ship for cruise. Once I receive the offensive order from me, I will quickly launch an attack on a Japanese transport ship and sink it in the shortest time. Remember, I can only sink a Japanese transport ship."

After the order was issued, Guo Zhenghua turned around and ordered the ammunition operator and radio operator behind him, "Xiao Wang, you should immediately follow the command of the general seat: use clear code to send a report to the Japanese escort fleet and ask it to surrender immediately. At the same time, in order to show your army the determination of our army to the ** team, our air force will sink a transport ship in three minutes to show punishment."

…………………………….

The battleship of the King Kong sank into the sea. Although the commander-in-chief of the fleet, Lieutenant General Otani, had already made up his mind to die and wanted to bury himself at the bottom of the sea with the warship. However, under the escort of a large number of subordinates who were almost "kidnapping", Lieutenant General Otani's desire to sacrifice himself for his own good was undoubtedly disappointed.

At this moment, he was standing in the command cabin of the Akagi aircraft carrier with a gloomy face, looking at the large number of warship wreckage floating on the sea without saying a word.

As for the subordinates behind Lieutenant General Otani, who were already invisibly led by Colonel Takagi Yuwu, he also looked at Lieutenant General Otani in front of him with a worried expression. He hoped that the commander-in-chief Lieutenant General Otani could come up with an idea at the last moment to protect the lives of thousands of naval officers and soldiers in the escort fleet.

And at this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly broke the solemn and depressing atmosphere of the command cabin.

The closed door of the aircraft carrier command cabin was just pushed open, and the eyes of the subordinates gathered at this fool who hit the gun. He wanted to see who it was. He dared to rush in at this time, not to be afraid of causing Lieutenant General Otani's dissatisfaction and anger.

Facing the pitiful gazes of the chief of staff looking at him, the Grand Secretary of Communications seemed to realize something, and beads of sweat as big as beans quickly emerged from his forehead. He whispered to the back of the General Otani: "Report to General, the Telecommunications Office just received a clear telegram from the Chinese Air Force..."

"The clear telegram sent to us by the Zhong** team..." A sarcastic smile flashed quickly on the gloomy face of the Lieutenant General Otani. He quickly turned around and asked with a sneer on the Grand Secretary General, asking with a sneer.

"Did the Chinese team let us escort the fleet surrender to them immediately..."

Under the gaze of the General Otani, the sweat beads on the Major's forehead began to flow down like it was raining. They mustered up the courage to look at him in the gaze of the General Otani, and said affirmatively: "Yes, General... The Central ** team called. If I escort the fleet does not raise the white flag immediately and surrender to the Central ** team, they will......."

The escort fleet was almost completely lost. Faced with this result, Lieutenant General Oguri, who wanted to die but could not die, had already suppressed a strong anger in his heart. Now, the Chinese whom he had never seen before actually asked him to surrender to him. This strong anger was finally caught in signs of an outbreak at this moment.

Seeing the expression of the prime minister in front of him, Lieutenant General Otani seemed to see the other party mocking him. The anger in his heart burst out instantly. He asked loudly at the prime minister in front of him: "Baga, now I order you. I will tell you all the telegram content immediately. If we do not surrender, what will the Chinese plan to do? If you can't explain it clearly, you are disrupting the morale of the army. Just here, I will apologize to His Majesty the Emperor..."

After wiping the cold sweat that kept gushing out of his forehead, he was a staff officer and reported with a horror look on his face: "Hayi..."

"The Chinese team called. If my escort fleet does not surrender immediately, the Chinese team will attack the transport ship escorted by my escort fleet. In order to make us believe the Chinese team's determination, they will sank a transport ship in three minutes..."

"Nani, attack the transport ship... No, this is a massacre, a massacre of the Imperial Japanese Army. No, no matter what, the Chinese Air Force cannot attack the transport ship. Otherwise, all the officers and soldiers of our escort fleet will become sinners of the empire and enemies of all the citizens of the empire." Lieutenant General Otani was stunned and then reacted from his shock. He exclaimed loudly at the face of despair at the Grand Secretary.

Just as his voice fell, Deputy Chief of Staff Colonel Takagi Yuwu's slightly frightened voice came to his ears: "General, the Chinese Air Force has begun to operate..."

Looking in the direction of Takagi Yuugu's finger, a tragic scene that the lieutenant general of Otani will never forget has begun on the sea surface about one kilometer away from the aircraft carrier.

Faced with the attacks of dozens of bombers, there were basically no transport ships equipped with large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and basically only had the fate of being passively beaten. The Chinese Air Force's offensive just began, and six of the nine bombs dropped on the transport ship had accurately hit the deck of the transport ship.

Through the telescope, the general of Otani could clearly see that the elites of the Imperial Army were thrown high into the sky and turned into corpses under the vigorous fireballs and air waves caused by the bomb explosion...

Soon, six of them were as tall as fifty meters, mixed with a lot of thick smoke, soldiers' broken limbs and arms, and even mushroom clouds of corpses appeared above the deck of the transport ship.

Of course, this is just the first round of strikes by the Chinese Air Force.

The smoke covering the deck of the transport ship had not yet begun to dissipate, and three more bombers were diving from thousands of meters above the sea transport ship.

As the three bombers were getting closer and closer, as the last kilometer of the transport ship was left, several black bombs quickly broke away from the bomber's constraints, followed the fighter's dive trajectory, and continued to smash towards the deck of the transport ship. As for the three bombers, they drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew back into the sky.

A dense and violent explosion sound came from a transport ship one kilometer away. The warship, which was just shrouded in smoke, had turned into a huge fireball at this moment. Looking around, the entire transport ship was like a huge fire ship floating on the sea, slowly burning.

Seeing the scene in front of you, Nakajima knew that it was already a matter of time before this transport ship sank to the bottom of the sea.

As for the tens of thousands of elite troops carried by the transport merchants, they will also be turned into ashes in this sea of ​​fire. In the end, together with this transport ship, they will be buried at the bottom of the sea.

For a moment, the huge aircraft carrier command warehouse was once again shrouded by the solemn atmosphere. All the officers' faces, including Lieutenant General Otani, were covered with gloomy faces.

And at this moment, another communications officer with the rank of magistrate rushed into the command cabin.

"Is it another telegram sent by the Central Team to persuade the surrender..." Before the Major General's staff could report, the murderous voice of Lieutenant General Otani was already ringing in the command cabin.

"Hayi..." The Grand Secretary responded with a nervous look on his face.
