Back to the Republic of China as a commander

"Bagaya Road!" Yuheng Yicheng let out an astonishing roar in the headquarters of the dispatched army in Qingdao, and the various staff officers of the headquarters kept silent to avoid being shot.

Ben Zhuangfan is still an honest person, and the loss of a whole brigade would be unjustifiable if he didn't report it.This is also a fine tradition of Japanese soldiers, and the behavior of shameless politicians who whitewash their achievements will never appear at the level of Shigeru Honjo.But this also brought him a reprimand from General Yuheng Yicheng, the commander of the dispatched army headquarters. In the telegram, Yuheng Yicheng made the most severe criticism of Benzhuang Fan's solitary advance.He told Benzhuang Shige very clearly that if similar incidents happened again, he would immediately commit seppuku and apologize to His Majesty the Emperor, and the dispatched army headquarters was not interested in giving him any punishment.

Benzhuang Shige first looked at the telegram in his hand, and then at his slightly swollen wine belly, feeling chilly.Although there is no chance of seppuku, any fool knows that it is definitely not a comfortable thing to cut a hole in one's stomach with a small knife.So Fan Zhuang immediately ordered to stop the attack and wait for reinforcements. At the same time, out of anger, he actually ordered his troops to rape and massacre more than 1 Chinese people in Linzi County. It is said that he wanted to punish them for not cooperating with the Imperial Japanese Army. For his stupid behavior, Linzi became a hell on earth for a while. . .

Afterwards, both China and Japan expressed great anger at Shigeru Honjo's actions. The Nanjing Nationalist Government ordered that all officers and soldiers of Fanjo's division would not accept surrender, and that any captured prisoners would be executed on the spot.As for Japan, Prime Minister Keihara Hara and Minister Lu Tanaka reprimanded Yuheng Kazushige, the commander of the Shandong Dispatch Army. Do they know the purpose of the imperial army sending troops to Shandong this time? Is it to punish the Southern China tyrants or to conquer China?

In China, it was the "Shenzhen" that first disclosed the Linzi massacre. On the third day of the massacre, the newspaper obtained the oral materials of the survivors through the help of the youth army, and angrily reprimanded the Japanese army in a series of publications. atrocities.The Nationalist Government then authorized the two houses of the National Assembly to take decisive action to forcibly expel Japanese diplomats stationed in China.At the same time, with the support of Wang Zhenyu, Xiong Xiling ignored the opposition of Sun Wen, the chairman of the National Government, and issued an order as the Prime Minister of the National Government to take over all Japanese businessmen's industries in China during wartime, and forcibly expel all Japanese personnel in China. Executed as a spy.

In Shanghai, the Japanese Concession in Hongkou was taken back by force by the Squadron the day after the National Government’s order was issued. The 600 Japanese Marines stationed in the area naturally rejected the Squadron’s persuasion and surrendered. Recalcitrant.The 802nd Regiment of the Chen Yuxin Department of the Eighth Division stationed in the Shanghai area, and the 803rd Regiment, under the personal command of the chief of staff, General Long Yun, attacked the Japanese army relying on twelve armored vehicles specially equipped by the Military Commission.The 2th Division, which has an overall superiority in firepower and military strength, smashed the resistance of the Japanese army very quickly, and broke into the Hongkou area in one fell swoop despite the protests of the British and French consulates. It is conceivable what happened next. All the Japanese in the concession area totaled 0 [-] people are all missing! ! !

However, before the Japanese had time to protest to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nanjing Nationalist Government, all diplomatic personnel were expelled, and even the representative office was not given up.In the end, the Japanese side could only protest to the Beijing government in embarrassment, and the Beijing government does not even have a president now.

Although there is no president, the troubles of the Beijing government are equally astonishing. After hearing the news of the Linzi massacre among college students in the capital, the anger accumulated in the May [-]th Movement in the first half of the year was once again ignited.The angry students directly attacked the Beijing State Council and other administrative agencies, demanding the severance of diplomatic relations with Japan and the declaration of war.They also tried to go to the Generalissimo's Mansion, but seeing Feng Jun's bandit soldiers suddenly began to take off their pants in public, the female students turned around in fright, and the boys had to follow behind.The students also stormed Dongjiaomin Lane and demanded that the ministers of the great powers intervene.I don't know if the effect is obvious or not. Anyway, Zhang Zuolin in Ju Ren Tang is now fidgeting.Moreover, Yang Yuting, who just came back secretly from the front line in Shanxi, also brought a very bad news. About five divisions of Wang Zhenyu's youth army have entered Shanxi, and Feng Jun's Shanxi operation has missed the best time. Sun Liechen and Zhang Jinghui, who were intimidated by the reputation of the youth army, both gave orders to the troops to stop the attack.If it wasn't for Zhang Zuolin who was still on top, they probably would have retreated across the board this time.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Zhang Zuolin looked up to the sky and sighed dumbfoundingly: "Could it be that this world is destined to belong to him, Wang Zhenyu? I'm not reconciled! I'm really not reconciled!"

But Yang Yuting, known as Little Zhuge, stood beside him but didn't know how to comfort the old man. He could only say to the old man: "Marshal, things are not that bad. The key is Shandong, the key is Shandong! Do you think we should send Zhang Zongchang and the others went to help the Japanese."

Zhang Zuolin's eyes lit up when he heard these words, but they dimmed in an instant: "No, no, it's okay if the incident in Linzi doesn't happen, now let Little Japan do this, we have to send troops to beat Wang Zhenyu at this time Then you will become a traitor to his mother. It is a small matter to lose the country. If you are called a traitor, your children and grandchildren will not be able to lift their heads. It will be a big problem. Don’t mention this matter again. I will die when I die, little Six sons and the others still have to continue to be human."

Seeing Zhang Zuolin's firm attitude, Yang Yuting could only sigh. . .

The impact of the Linzi massacre in Shandong is still further fermenting. Wang Zhenyu, who is already a national political leader, can only grit his teeth. He has more important things to do because Kolchak has come.

In Xinjiang, Kolchak was surprised enough to stuff an egg in his mouth, and 125 million Russian immigrants were temporarily resettled in Ili, Tacheng, and Aksu.This separate arrangement is also to avoid the possible risk of rebellion. After all, Wang Zhenyu took the risk of being exported by the Bolsheviks to accept these White Russians in order to strengthen himself.If the final result is that these White Russians make trouble on their own territory and stand on their own like the Ukraine of later generations, then Wang Zhenyu will have a lot of fun.

What really surprised Kolchak was that the Chinese seemed to have known they would have such a day.Gu Zhenglun conscripted 60 Muslims early on, ordered them to build houses enough for 100 million people to live in, and sent a large amount of supplies enough for so many people to survive the winter.You must know that there is no railway in Xinjiang at this time, and every grain of grain is sent by these Muslims from Lanzhou to Dihua, and then from Dihua to the above three places.

As for Kolchak's 40 troops, it was naturally ordered to be disarmed by the extremely arrogant General Wu Peifu.It would be a lie to say that Kolchak didn't have any careful thinking, but Wu Peifu's 30 border guards are not vegetarians. Kolchak decided to make an honest book after roughly estimating the combat effectiveness based on the soldiers' mental outlook and equipment. Part of the Russian peasants.

However, Wu Peifu didn't do anything wrong. The so-called disarmament was actually very face-saving to Kolchak. He didn't confiscate the rifles of these Russians, but only confiscated their heavy weapons and bullets.Each Russian soldier is only allowed to keep one round of ammunition and four blank rounds symbolically, which is already the maximum, and according to the order, these Russian soldiers were separated from other Russian immigrants, and they were arranged in the Luntai area Stationed, but officers with family members are allowed to report to the above-mentioned areas one month later.

Next, the whereabouts of these Russians will require Kolchak to go to Wuhan to have an interview with Wang Zhenyu, the supreme commander of the Youth Army.

Kolchak flew from Yili to Dihua in a small passenger plane with 17 people. Here he and his twelve main deputies transferred to a 38-seater medium-sized plane and flew to Lanzhou.

Staying in Lanzhou for a day, Gu Zhenglun, who is currently feared by the whole Northwest, actually hosted a special banquet for Kolchak and his party, because this big devil in the eyes of Muslims in the Northwest got a little wind through his relationship in Wuhan, and the Wuhan side planned to bring These White Russians have become the backbone of the construction of the Northwest, and I am working so hard in the Northwest now, and when Wu Peifu is transferred in the future, the seat of the Northwest King is not my own. . .

When Kolchak arrived in Wuhan, it was already the afternoon of November (Sunday), and he was taken aback when he entered the city from the airport. Counting from the end of the War to Protect the Country, after four years, Wuhan has been built into a It is an international metropolis. With a population of over one million, a large number of brand-new European modern style buildings and Chinese traditional classical style buildings can be found everywhere. Cars and trams can be seen in this city at any time, and people in the whole city wear All kinds of clothes, working and living in this city full of vigor.

From this scene, Kolchak vaguely felt that a country full of vitality was rising, although Japan, one of the integrated powers, was currently fighting in this country.

And when Kolchak drove across the newly completed Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge and entered the East Lake Special Zone where the Military Commission is located, they were shocked again.The well-planned special zone, imposing buildings, and well-disciplined security forces all demonstrate the strength of the ruler of this ancient oriental country.

When the Yuanfang Building appeared in front of these Russians, they were completely stunned. Such a building with a strong military color actually appeared in an ancient eastern country. Such a country and power should not be underestimated by others.

However, when Kolchak praised Wang Zhenyu face to face out of European habits, Wang Zhenyu smiled very casually and said: "It's just some face project, and it can be done if you have money. The strength of a country cannot be relied on." These useless vanity projects depend on brave soldiers, hardworking citizens, and imaginative scientists and technicians."
