Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

Chapter 325 Please Address Me with Honorifics

Taiyuan City is located at the northern end of the Jinzhong Basin.

The city is surrounded by mountains on the east, west and north sides, and the Fen River flows quietly through the city, forming a unique Feng Shui treasure land.

Standing outside Taiyuan City and looking at it from afar, a dark and long Taiyuan City wall appeared at the far end of the horizon, blocking the road.

"This is Taiyuan!"

Zhang Dabiao slowly put down the telescope and muttered to himself.

Many soldiers from Shanxi Province in the team have become excited. Taiyuan's status in the hearts of Shanxi people is completely different from that of Datong. It was once the pride of Shanxi people and the birthplace of the Li Tang Dynasty.

"Get ready for the city!"

Zhang Dabiao waved his hand, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

Now everyone is very clear about the significance of taking Taiyuan. If Taiyuan can be taken, it will bring great shock and hope to this land that has experienced many vicissitudes and a nation that has gone through hardships.

The team began to rush towards Taiyuan. At this time, on the wall of Taiyuan, the Imperial Army who stayed to garrison Taiyuan were also looking at the Marines approaching Taiyuan in the distance with binoculars.

"Captain, Captain, are those the Imperial Army's troops?"

A puppet soldier asked nervously, saying that most of the Japanese soldiers in the city had left, with less than a thousand people left.

Each of these puppet soldiers was very nervous, fearing that after the Japanese left, the Eighth Route Army would suddenly appear and attack the city.

"That should be it? I'll go and report it." The pseudo-corps commander was also a little uncertain. It was the first time he had seen this kind of military uniform.

There are still Japanese devils in Taiyuan City, but there is only one gendarmerie left. The rest of the Japanese devils have withdrawn from Taiyuan one after another today.

This Japanese gendarmerie also had its own mission, which was to lure the Marines into Taiyuan City, have them sign and take over the defense of Taiyuan City, and then they would stay to collect the money from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and then retreat.

The captain of the military police battalion in Taiyuan City, Naoaki Kubo, appeared on the top of Taiyuan City, observing the Marines approaching Taiyuan with a telescope.

"Open the city gate!"

"Hayi!"

After hearing the order, the Japanese soldiers of the gendarmerie quickly opened the Taiyuan city gate.

Kubo Naorou noticed the discontent among the soldiers below and gathered the military police. He said, "I know you are unhappy about the arrival of the Navy Red Deer, but this is an order from headquarters. After handing Taiyuan over to the Navy Red Deer, we can withdraw from Taiyuan."

"If anything happens in Taiyuan City, it has nothing to do with our army!"

Upon hearing this, many Japanese military police soldiers' eyes lit up, and then they said, "Captain, after the Marines take over, can we disguise ourselves as the Eighth Route Army and capture Taiyuan..."

As soon as this sentence was uttered, it immediately won the approval of many Japanese soldiers.

"We can leave some backup plans in Taiyuan City..."

Hearing his soldiers' increasingly outrageous remarks, Kubo Naorou couldn't help but say, "Baga, you don't need to worry about these things, but don't worry, as long as you don't cause any trouble, these navy idiots will soon be in trouble."

This sentence is actually telling the gendarmerie soldiers that they have dug a pit and are waiting for the navy to jump in.

The reason why Kubo Naoshiro said this specifically was because he was worried that if he didn't tell some truth, when he retreated, these soldiers would shoot him in the back, and then report that they were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, the troops suffered no losses, but the captain was shot twenty-three times and died.

"Remember, follow my orders, no one is allowed to act on their own!"

"Hayi!"

The Japanese soldiers who can serve as military police are not fools. They are a group of the tallest and best-looking soldiers selected from various Japanese troops. They are regarded as one of the image projects of the Japanese troops.

The closer Zhang Dabiao and others got to Taiyuan City, the slower their marching speed became, and the more things they needed to explore. After all, no one knew whether the Japanese would launch a sudden attack.

Especially the soldiers walking in front, they remained calm and did not reveal any flaws.

Because of the military expansion some time ago, a lot of talents were recruited, and now there are many people in Li Yunlong's army who can speak Japanese language.

Unlike the initial attack on the Xiaowangzhuang stronghold, Li Yunlong had to personally go out and communicate with the Japanese. There were five or six people in the first battalion who could speak the Japanese language, and all of them had studied abroad with the Japanese.

"Captain, the Taiyuan City Gate is open!"

When they were about two kilometers away from Taiyuan City, the Taiyuan city gate suddenly opened and a group of Japanese military police walked out.

These military police lined up in front of the city gate, with a Japanese lieutenant colonel standing in front of the line. Instead of forming two lines to welcome the visitors, they stood in a single line blocking the entrance to Taiyuan City.

"Captain, it's the Japanese military police."

"Lao Liang, it's up to you from now on. I don't speak Japanese, so I won't say anything."

Liang Zhengping nodded, walked to the front of the team, and prepared to communicate with the Japanese.

Liang Zhengping was the instructor of the First Detachment. When he was in Datong, he had a conversation with Tani Shoushuiye, who was in charge of transporting prisoners of war. (Chapter 210)

As Zhang Dabiao's team got closer to Taiyuan, the atmosphere outside Taiyuan City became increasingly tense.

Although the Japanese gendarmerie soldiers were warned not to take action, some of them could not help but raise their guns.

There is no way. The hatred between the Japanese navy and army has been engraved into the Japanese genes after decades of brainwashing. Since their student days, the Japanese who want to be in the army and those who want to be in the navy will be divided into two factions.

In addition, a large number of Japanese officers in the Japanese navy were from the aristocratic class, while a large number of Japanese army officers were from ordinary or lower classes. The natural hostility between the two sides made the conflict between the two forces not only not decrease but intensify over time.

Seeing the Japanese gendarmerie soldiers raising their guns, Liang Zhengping immediately ordered his troops to raise their weapons and aim at the Japanese gendarmerie. This was what Li Yunlong had instructed. Liang Zhengping had also studied abroad with the Japanese and knew about the problems between the navy and the army.

Just when the two sides were on the verge of a shootout, Kubo Naoshiro raised his hand and said, "Everyone, put down your weapons!"

"Put the gun down."

After hearing this, Liang Zhengping also raised one hand and waved it twice. Some soldiers put down their weapons after seeing this, and some soldiers reacted more slowly and also put down their weapons.

In fact, this is the flaw. Most ordinary soldiers cannot understand the Japanese language, so they can only learn from a few soldiers who can understand the Japanese language, so their movements will be a beat slower.

However, in the eyes of the Japanese gendarmerie and Kubo Naoshiro, there was nothing wrong with this action. It looked like some Marines were putting down their weapons reluctantly. Some soldiers in the gendarmerie were also very slow, putting down their weapons while complaining.

"My name is Kubo Naoshiro, Captain of the Imperial Army's First Military Police!"

"My name is Toshiya Mita, Lieutenant Colonel Kubo, Chief of Staff of the 1st Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Marine Corps. You should address me as Colonel Mita. I am your superior, and you need to use honorifics!"

Liang Zhengping slowly spoke out his prepared words with an arrogant tone.

Kubo Naoshiro couldn't help but clench his fists. These damn navy idiots made him pretend.

Here comes the fourth update. Please give me some free gifts! ~Thank you.

Chapter 326 Li Yunlong's troops take over Taiyuan

Kubo Naorou simply ignored Liang Zhengping's words: "Please sign for the acceptance of Taiyuan City and complete the rotation. After the rotation, our troops will exit Taiyuan in an orderly manner."

"Baga, didn't your superiors teach you to use honorifics when speaking to them?"

If it were someone else, when they saw the Japanese take out the documents for the change of guard, they would definitely sign them directly and agree to the change of guard. It is better to have less trouble than more, and the most important thing is to enter the city as soon as possible.

However, Liang Zhengping was well aware of the tricks between the Japanese navy and army, and began to find faults. This would further reduce the Japanese's vigilance, and he would be able to better control the entire Taiyuan City and wipe out all the Japanese puppet troops in the city.

Liang Zhengping's finding fault not only did not make Kubo Naouro suspicious, but although he felt even more dissatisfied and even resentful towards Liang Zhengping, this dissatisfaction was in line with his stereotype of the navy.

If he were to go to a port and replace the naval officer responsible for guarding the port, Kubo Naouro felt that he would be even more excessive.

After listening to the conversation between the two people, the rest of the Japanese army military police all glared at Liang Zhengping. If Kubo Naoshiro had not already explained this to them, many of them would have already drawn their guns.

"The navy is a bunch of idiots!"

"Bastards, I really want to kill them with one shot!"

"..."

Listening to the complaints of the soldiers behind him, Kubo Naoshiro knew that he could not delay any longer. If he continued to delay, some accidents might occur. If a fight really broke out accidentally and affected the subsequent plans, he would be blamed.

Thinking of this, Kubo Naorou said reluctantly.

"Your Excellency Colonel Toshiya Omida, this is the rotation agreement for Taiyuan City. Please sign it."

However, Kubo Naoshiro did not bend down, but stood straight and handed over a document.

Liang Zhengping carefully looked through the contents of the documents. After reading all the documents, Liang Zhengping roughly understood what had happened. The Japanese army was setting a trap for the Japanese navy.

The rotation agreement clearly states that the navy will take over the defense of Taiyuan City and the army will withdraw from Taiyuan City. Everything that happens in Taiyuan City has nothing to do with the army.

The rotation agreement is very long, even almost catching up with some unequal treaties. The core of the whole content is also very simple, that is, the army withdraws from Taiyuan and the navy takes over. Anything that happens later will be the responsibility of your Marine Corps and has nothing to do with our Army.

Generally speaking, agreements that completely shirk one's responsibilities are meant to cheat others.

However, for Liang Zhengping, no matter what agreement the devils offered, he would sign it. After all, the person who signed it was Chen Tiansui. What did it have to do with him, Liang Zhengping? Their only goal was Taiyuan.

After scribbling the words "Omita Toshiya" in a very sloppy manner, he handed the document to Kubo Naoshiro and said, "Alright, now Taiyuan City is taken over by our Marines. You army idiots can leave Taiyuan now!"

"idiot!"

Kubo Naorou cursed inwardly, but still maintained a serious expression and said, "Go ahead!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling the gendarmerie to withdraw and follow him into Taiyuan City.

"According to the agreement, you must leave Taiyuan as soon as possible. Taiyuan is now our Marine Corps territory!"

Liang Zhengping shouted at Kubo Naorou. Upon hearing this, Kubo Naorou said without even turning his head, "We will leave Taiyuan as soon as possible!"

The Japanese gendarmerie came and left quickly, leaving behind the wide-open Taiyuan city gate and the Imperial Army watching the show on the gate tower.

"Fat Translator, what is the Imperial Army doing?"

As the only translator who could understand the Japanese language, he was caught in the middle. Everyone around him was anxiously waiting for the fat translator to translate so that they could find out what was going on and who these imperial troops outside the city were that they had never seen before.

"They seem to have signed some kind of rotation agreement, and the military police will leave Taiyuan. Now Taiyuan is managed by the group of Taijuns under the city wall."

"It's a rotation, how come I haven't seen these Taijun's uniforms before?"

The fat translator's Japanese language was also a bit naive: "I don't know, why bother with these things? Just do our own thing well."

"I thought a large Japanese army was coming, but it looks like there are only a few thousand people here, right?"

"Who knows? Okay, disperse, disperse, everyone, be alert, we have new imperial troops, pay attention, if you slack off and get caught by the devils, I can't protect you!"

A puppet army commander kicked a few puppet soldiers, and then began to think about whether he should curry favor with these new generals.

The gendarmerie acted quickly. After entering Taiyuan City, they quickly rushed back to the gendarmerie, packed up their things and prepared to leave Taiyuan City.

At this time in Taiyuan City, Yang Xingru, the second-in-command under Commander Yan, was drinking tea in the Japanese gendarmerie.
