Fengxian Jiangshan

Although there were only a dozen or so people in Xicun, he was not worried at all. It seemed that no matter how many sheep there were, they could not threaten the safety of the lions. He rushed to the side of the team proudly, raised his whip, and shouted loudly.

When Zhang Zuoxiang saw that his crow's mouth had come true, he also knew that he had to face it calmly, so he led his people to meet him.Nishimura had met Zhang Zuoxiang a few times, so he forced a smile from the corner of his mouth: "General Zhang, what are you doing?"

"Master Nishimura, we found a stronghold of bandits and we just wiped them out. Please forgive me for any disturbance."

Nishimura was naturally dubious. Miki, who was among the captives, suddenly saw Nishimura approaching, and he shouted loudly, asking Nishimura to rescue them.

When Nishimura heard that a Japanese had been arrested, he immediately raised his eyebrows: "Baga, you dare to illegally arrest citizens of Japan, you must release them immediately." While speaking, Nishimura had already grasped the saber in the Putting it in his hand, his eyes were full of fierce light, staring at Zhang Zuoxiang like a wolf.

Zhang Zuoxiang would not back down at such a time. He sneered: "Nishimura, don't the Japanese break the law? We arrest thugs who intend to harm China."

"You're lying!" Nishimura waved his hand violently with his mouth curled up. A dozen Japanese cavalrymen raised their guns and pointed their guns at Zhang Zuoxiang and others. There were even more people around Zhang Zuoxiang. Sun Anhu hurriedly ordered everyone to raise their guns too. He fired his rifle and confronted the Japanese, and the sound of neat slogans came from the direction of the Manchurian annex, and three hundred well-equipped Japanese soldiers were rushing here.

Chapter 30 is tougher

Zhang Zuoxiang brought a total of more than 500 people this time, less than 100, which is basically equivalent to the size of a battalion. However, more than 40 people have to be assigned to take care of the prisoners, and another 27 people have to be assigned to take care of the searched property. This time they found [-] million foreign currency and gold and silver. This money alone is enough for the [-]th division to eat and drink for a year. There must be no problems, and there are a lot of documents in it , is an ironclad proof that Shanqi and others conspired to treason, and it is also the pillar of the correctness of this operation, let alone allow for problems.

In this way, the remaining troops are only 300 people, so Zhang Zuoxiang's face is very bad. It is well known that the squadron is far inferior to the Japanese soldiers in terms of equipment and training. Come over, Zhang Zuoxiang looked solemn.

As soon as he beckoned, the troops moved immediately, pushed the captives to a place, and then circled them with carriages and guarded by soldiers outside to ensure that the property and captives would not be lost. The rest of the soldiers quickly assembled to block the road.

Colonel Nishimura has been staring at Fengjun's messy movements with contempt, and he shouted arrogantly to Zhang Zuoxiang: "General Zhang, your subordinates are still at the level of Japan's Sengoku period, and with such an army, don't even think about fighting against the Japanese army." Strong troops to confront. Your only choice now is to release the captured Japanese as soon as possible, then apologize to the Japanese government, and then wait for the imperial government to deal with it. I believe that the benevolent imperial government will give you a way out, otherwise you will only have A dead end."

Although Nishimura has only a dozen people around him, he has no fear in the face of hundreds of squadrons. In his opinion, the Chinese army cannot be called an army at all. The shell of the soul.

Even though they had the most advanced guns, these people didn't even have the courage to fight. Nishimura deliberately urged his horses to approach the 27th Division, holding a samurai sword in his hand, and kept pointing.

"Your tactical movements are completely unqualified, the speed is too slow, and the Japanese recruits are much faster than you. The Chinese don't struggle, hurry up and obey my orders, let them admit their mistakes, and wait for punishment honestly."

Nishimura wanted to continue talking, but suddenly a gunshot came over, and the oriental horse under his crotch immediately screamed in pain from Herod, the horse's body stood up, and Nishimura was instantly thrown off.Like most Japanese in this era, he was just over 1.5 meters tall, and his short and stocky body was like a ball. He rolled several meters, and his mouth just hit the stubborn stone on the side of the road.

Immediately, two front teeth were broken, and blood and mud were all over his mouth. Xi Cun's appearance was not to mention miserable.It turned out that when he was showing off his might and power, Zhang Tinglan quietly found Sun Anhu and asked him to show Xi Cun some color.

It stands to reason that Xi Cun is a senior officer, and his status is already very high. In the past, Sun Anhu would never dare to plot against Xi Cun, but since doing things with Zhang Tinglan a few times, Sun Anhu has blind confidence in this young master Zhang. He is definitely not a reckless person. Since Zhang Tinglan gave the order, there is absolutely no problem.

Besides, Sun Anhu couldn't get used to Xi Cun's arrogant face for a long time. While Xi Cun was swinging his saber, he shot his horse in the eye. It got into the skull again, smashing the horse's brain into a paste.

Xi Cun was helped up from the ground by his subordinates. Looking back, he saw that his war horse had fallen to the ground. His eyes were still spurting blood, and his body was twitching violently. He seemed to be dead.Immediately, anger rushed straight to his forehead, and at the same time, he also had strong fear.

If the shot just now had hit his body instead of the horse, the current Xi Cun would probably be a dead body. Thinking of this, Xi Cun was furious.

"Mr. Nishimura, you said that our soldiers are not as good as Japanese recruits, and I think your riding skills are not as good as a three-year-old child. Why did you fall off the horse?"

The sound of ridicule from Fengjun immediately came over, Xicun's face flushed red, he pulled out his saber suddenly, his face showed a ferocious expression, like a wounded wild animal, he wanted to rush into Fengjun's position , hacked into pieces those who laughed at him.

However, his subordinates held him tightly. These people are not fools. They have already noticed that Fengjun has already lined up, and the black muzzles are pointing directly at them. As long as they give an order, they will become a sieve.

As the saying goes, a good man doesn't suffer from immediate disadvantages. They are far inferior to the opponent, and since the opponent dares to shoot the horse, he dares to shoot the horse. If there is something wrong with the gun, it will be them who suffer.

These people pulled Nishimura back to retreat. At this time, more than 300 Japanese soldiers had arrived at the incident site. When Nishimura saw that his subordinates had arrived, he immediately gained courage.With sufficient manpower, the momentum will naturally recover. He is now thinking of taking revenge and letting these damn Chinese people taste the bravery of the Japanese imperial army. Nishimura stands in front of all the Japanese soldiers.

"Warriors of the Great Japan, the despicable Chinese captured the subjects of the empire. This is the biggest provocation to the empire. As an imperialist, you must protect every subject of the empire and deal a severe blow to any provocative behavior. Let them I have tasted the power of the warriors of the empire." Nishimura spoke impassionedly, but there was only one problem, that is, his two front teeth were broken, so he didn't go for a ride when he spoke, and his voice was very weird, like an angry clown.

It was also the first time for those Japanese soldiers to see the chief in such a state of distress. They didn't know what happened, so they could only obey the order honestly. After Nishimura finished his lecture, he waved the saber in his hand and gave the order to prepare for battle.

All the Japanese soldiers moved quickly, looking for cover on the side of the road, and set up a battle formation. Their movements were obviously much more professional and faster than those of the Fengjun. The Japanese soldiers also quickly built simple bunkers, and the two sides were separated by hundreds of meters , they confronted each other.

"Regimental Commander, these little devils are really fast, and they perform their own duties, and they are not chaotic at all. Compared with our soldiers, we are far behind." Sun Anhu said to Zhang Zuoxiang while observing.

Zhang Zuoxiang also nodded solemnly: "It's time for us to focus on training, and we can't continue to muddle along like this, otherwise we won't be hard-spoken on our own territory. It's really unlucky to be a soldier."

At this time, a small Japanese officer ran over quickly and sent a document. This was Nishimura's ultimatum. He asked Zhang Zuoxiang to release the captured Japanese immediately. Japan's handling, or he will order an attack.

Seeing this announcement, Zhang Zuoxiang knew that they had no way out. He said loudly to all the soldiers: "Brothers, the Japanese demand that we disarm and wait for them to deal with it, otherwise we will launch an attack. They have put their guns on the Everyone looked back, not far away is Fengtian City, which is our hometown, these Japanese asked us to surrender to them at the door of our house, can everyone agree?"

"No! No!"

All the Fengjun soldiers were also angered. The Japanese have been rampant for many years, and everyone has accumulated a lot of resentment in their hearts. Now they are faced with such unreasonable demands. Otherwise, the land of Kanto will become Japanese.

The soldiers shouted loudly, as if they wanted to vent out the resentment in their chests. When Zhang Zuoxiang saw that everyone's morale was high and the morale of the army was available, he was reluctantly relieved, and then said: "Brothers, the fathers and villagers are watching, I order Everyone only needs to fight to the death at the point of gunpoint, and are not allowed to escape with the point of view of the gun behind their backs. If Japan dares to launch an attack, everyone including me will fight to the end. Brothers, the black land under our feet is still ours after all. The other brothers are also in the city and will be able to help us soon, so don't have any fear or worry."

Zhang Zuoxiang pointed to the seized property again, and said loudly: "If a brother is really unfortunate enough to be injured or even killed in the conflict, the family will receive a compensation of one thousand oceans, and the 27th Division will take care of his whole family."

At this juncture, Zhang Zuoxiang's words really played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army. In fact, it is not unheard of for this kind of military confrontation to happen, and most likely there will be no real conflict, but the danger in it is no less than a real conflict.In the past, the Chinese government tolerated the riots and provocations of the Japanese army in every possible way, and retreated as soon as it could, and paid compensation and apologized. It was this cowardice that aggravated the rampantness of the Japanese.

They became more and more unscrupulous, completely forgetting that the Chinese are the masters of this land.Zhang Zuoxiang first gave Xiaozhi righteousness, let everyone fight for the sake of the elders, aroused the soldiers' desire to fight, and then used real money to boost morale, and the effect was indeed good.

All the soldiers of the Feng army were in high spirits, sweeping away the usual slack and fatigue. They also stepped up to build simple trenches, piled up dense sandbags, and formed a tight line of defense. Guns, as long as the Japanese make any moves, they will fight back without hesitation.

Zhang Tinglan has not been idle all this time. He knows the situation on his side. The soldiers did not sleep last night and are very tired now. If Japan launches an attack immediately, it is really uncertain whether they can resist Zhang Tinglan.Of course, he is also aware of his own advantage, that is, relying on Fengtian City, Zhang Zuolin may have already started to deploy troops to rescue, the key is to ensure the safety of Lao Zhang's brigade before they arrive.

From the bottom of my heart, Zhang Tinglan is unwilling to tear himself apart with the Japanese. After all, the foundation of the 27th Division is too weak, but he knows better that peace is not won by groveling, but by fists. If you want peace, you must let your Opponents believe they cannot win.

Therefore, Zhang Tinglan asked the soldiers to move out all the four captured Hotchkiss machine guns. In addition, boxes and boxes of ammunition were piled up on the ground. It is true, but it is shown through actions. These four machine guns are far more deterrent than Nishimura's ultimatum.

Chapter 31 Depressed Yata

Four Hotchkiss machine guns were placed on the position, pointing directly at the Japanese army.The Japanese army has been equipped with this kind of machine gun for a long time, so they are well aware of the horror of heavy machine guns, but these Japanese soldiers walked in a hurry without carrying heavy firepower at all.

Although Nishimura was very angry, he also knew that if there were no weapons to suppress the heavy machine guns, they would be wiped out soon. Although the Japanese army is well-trained and tenacious in combat, but these performances on this bare road There is not much room for it.

The key to victory is to see who can output more firepower in a short period of time. In this regard, the Japanese who do not have heavy firepower will definitely suffer. Nishimura also participated in the Russo-Japanese War, and he has also seen countless Japanese wars with his own eyes. The afterimages of soldiers being swept down by the Russians like cutting wheat, despite the stubborn words of the Japanese, in fact, the Russo-Japanese War was also a nightmare for the Japanese army.

When heavy machine guns appeared on Fengjun's position, although Nishimura had a million reluctances in his heart, he had to temporarily give up his plan to attack, and hurriedly ordered his men to carry the machine guns.

As soon as Zhang Tinglan saw the machine guns on the ground, the eager Japanese soldiers on the opposite side calmed down. He did not sit idle, but found a few soldiers who were familiar with cannons from the army. The two Krupp mountain guns were assembled.

Zhang Zuoxiang also knew that at the critical moment, he must show the courage to break the boat, so he also supported the use of cannons for deterrence. With the busy work of everyone, two cannons were assembled.Then they found eight more army horses, dragged the artillery into the pre-prepared position.

After the cannons were set up, it happened that the Japanese soldiers brought the heavy machine guns. Nishimura was directing his men to set up the machine guns. He had strong confidence in the Japanese soldiers. As long as the two sides were equipped with similar equipment, the Japanese would not be afraid of the Chinese army at all.Now that the time has passed the time limit specified in his ultimatum, if the Chinese did not surrender obediently, he could only be blunt.

When Nishimura was eager to try, he suddenly saw two black muzzles facing the positions of the Japanese army not far away.Nishimura hurriedly observed with binoculars. Not only did he see two genuine cannons, but he also saw the artillerymen of the Feng army carrying shells, and six or seven ammunition boxes were placed on the ground.The soldier on the opposite side seemed to feel that Nishimura was spying on them, so he deliberately showed a big smile and extended his middle finger. Although Nishimura did not understand the gesture of the other party, he knew very well that he was provoking himself.

Seeing this scene, Nishimura was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. Nishimura is not an idiot if he can become the commander of one side. The opponent's army has shown unprecedented toughness. Should he change his strategy?

The nature of the Japanese is like this, the more you beg them, the more they will make progress. As long as you are easy to bully, they will bully you to death. If your side becomes tough, they will immediately weigh whether it is worthwhile. A good way is to show a tougher posture than them.

China and Japan became a confrontation in Fengtian. Zhang Zuoxiang knew that Zhang Zuolin had to come forward for such a big event, so he sent someone to notify Zhang Zuolin early.In fact, Zhang Zuolin also sent a large number of people along the way. He also knew the importance of Shengyun Villa, so he must not relax.

When he heard that the Japanese had taken action, Lao Zhang immediately summoned all his cronies and subordinates, Sun Liechen, Zhang Jinghui, Tang Yulin, Yuan Jinkai and others were listed on both sides.

Lao Zhang is also dressed in a military uniform, very formal: "Brothers, the Japanese garrison ran outside the Manchurian annex to interfere with our actions. I don’t care about the place, it’s not right under my old Zhang’s eyelids. Sixth brother, you take the soldiers of the 54th brigade to help Fuchen now, don’t let them suffer, and make sure that the supplies they escort are safe, and if I lose a little military law."

The relationship between Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang has always been very good. After receiving Zhang Zuolin's order, Sun Liechen immediately went down to make arrangements. He took out all the machine guns and cannons that his subordinates had, and hurried to the confrontation point.

Lao Zhang said to Yuan Jinkai again: "Mr. Yuan, you go to the Japanese Consulate-General on my behalf now and question Yada why the Japanese interfered with our legitimate actions." Yuan Jinkai.

"Mr. Yuan, the matter is urgent. Take a closer look on the road and try to take the initiative when negotiating with the Japanese."
