Golden Scale Club [Republic of China + Jiang Chengyan X Mu Bingci]

At this time Jiang Chengyan arrived in Shenyang to meet with Zhang Rulin, king of the Northeast.After a long talk all night, Zhang Ruolin agreed that Dongbei Yizhi supported the Nanjing government to unify the country.He also sent troops to surround the Japanese Kwantung Army station in Shenyang, and fired a hundred cannons at the gate where the general of the Kwantung Army was. He negotiated with the Japanese side by force and demanded to withdraw from the Jiaodong Peninsula.The two sides confronted each other for a day and a night. Later, under the pressure of the Northeast Army, the Japanese sent several telegrams to strictly order the Sixth Division to return to the Northeast.

Vice Admiral Hikosuke Fukuda of the Sixth Division was ordered to retreat.One day later, the Mu family's army entrenched in the north of Shandong finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and rushed to Hebei, even defeating Tianjin.However, on the third day, the Japanese Sixth Division suddenly left and returned. Fukuda Hikosuke openly disobeyed and led the Sixth Division to land in Bohai Bay with a thunderous force, and went straight to the Jiaoji Line.The Japanese army stationed in Qingdao also suddenly launched an attack, breaking through the Rizhao defense line of the Zhejiang Army, forming a siege of Jinan.

The Japanese army hid their heads and showed their tails in the three eastern provinces. For the first time in the First World War in Jinan, they sacrificed the frightening heavy mechs.The Jinan garrison saw giant mechanical beetles crawling continuously outside the city, approaching the city.The iron-clad monster could shoot long-range shells, and the city tower was vulnerable to its continuous bombardment, and collapsed in sections.And it is guided by the rolling of the towing wheels, as long as there is a fault slope, it can be rolled and climbed, and a shorter building can be climbed in an instant.

At places that cannot be climbed, the load wheels have the function of stretching, and the armored fuselage is lifted several meters out of thin air. Dozens of long-range gunners hidden on the fuselage hold light machine guns and shoot at high altitudes, annihilating a battalion of the enemy in the blink of an eye.What's even more frightening is that the iron-clad monster is very resistant to blows. A heavy machine gun with such bombardment power as Maxim can't damage it even if it consumes several times the bullets.Unless you are very lucky and can hit the key part of the roller of the towing wheel, you have to repeatedly destroy at least half of the rollers to make it immobile.

Under such an offensive, the Jinan defenders suffered heavy casualties, and the Sixth Division approached the inner city within five days.As if deliberately appreciating the opponent's panic and confusion, Fukuda Hikosuke did not immediately order the attack on the city, but stopped the offensive under the heavy siege, and quietly confronted the Zhejiang army in the city.

Mu Bingci didn't understand that Fukuda Hikosuke was such a war-thirsty and bloodthirsty swordsman, who enjoyed fighting and killed for fun, there was nothing that could restrain him.Futian didn't pay attention to the strict order of the Northeast at all. At first, he pretended to retreat, just to paralyze the Northern Expeditionary Army.However, his real purpose was the surprise attack army in Jinan City who took him away from the city.

When the Northern Expedition learned that Jinan was trapped, Mu Yanqiu had already entered Beiping.The Beiyang government completely collapsed.

At the end of November in the 17th year of the Republic of China, the Japanese side held a grudge against Zhang Ruolin's coercion by force, and sent spies to ambush Zhang Ruolin on his way out of business, and blew up Zhang Ruolin together with Zhang Ruolin on the train, and assassinated Zhang Ruolin, king of the Northeast.The Northeast garrison had no leader and was dispersed by the Japanese army.The Japanese side occupied the three eastern provinces in a real sense.

Jiang Chengyan negotiated with Yang Yuan of the Northwest Army many times, but Yang Yuan's conditions were very harsh. Unless the Nanjing government handed over the leadership, the Northwest Army would not intervene in the current domestic situation.

Dilemma.

When Lu Chaosheng met Mu Yanqiu in Beiping, the Northern Expedition had just taken Beiping.Mu Yanqiu didn't even have a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, so the news from Jinan caught him off guard.

Mu Yanqiu, still in military uniform, stood on the tower of the old palace in Beiping, drenched in the first snow of winter, with a tired and stern look. "I shouldn't have left Bing Ci in Jinan. I should have driven him back early in the morning. Now that the Sixth Division is facing difficulties in Jinan, it probably has two purposes. Second, their goal is not only the garrison in Jinan, but also my Northern Expeditionary Army, or other reinforcements from the Nanjing government. They hope to rely on the Northeast, use Shandong as the main battlefield, and concentrate on eliminating the Nationalist Government army power."

Lu Chaosheng said: "The third master said that if the Nanjing government is willing to support, it should have sent another army over as early as the Jiaodong tragedy. There is no need for Mr. Mu to go thousands of miles to help. So this time Mr. Mu is trapped, so is Nanjing. I won't pay attention to it. The only person who can help young master Mu get out of trouble is you, Mu Shuai."

Mu Yanqiu sighed heavily: "Brother Jiang, I understand what you mean. Now that the Northern Expedition has just won, from a formal point of view, the Nanjing government has gained the greatest sovereignty. However, the Northern Expeditionary Army has been defeated for a long time and cannot withstand repeated battles. There is also a Northwest Army who is eyeing the results of the Northern Expedition. At this time, I can't pull out my camp and turn back to fight in Shandong, and give up Beiping to the Northwest Army. Otherwise, this year's hard work will be in vain. As the commander of the group army, I can't make a decision to ruin the army. The Nanjing government will not allow it. But——as a close relative, I can't just watch Bingci die trapped in Jinan. Please rest assured Brother Jiang, I will find a way to rescue Bingci from the siege."

Lu Chaosheng didn't speak, because Jiang Chengyan only said, "Mu Yanqiu must know how to do it."

In Jinan City.

It was the first time that Mu Bingchi knew what it meant to be cornered at such a young age.The two naval divisions patrolling Rizhao were wiped out, and one army division remains in Jinan City.There are tens of thousands of people who need food and clothing, and the food stored in the city is probably only enough for a month.If you continue to be besieged, the final result is that you will die without fighting if you run out of ammunition and food.

Even in the severe cold weather, those iron-clad monsters on the Japanese side were still able to patrol in a dignified manner. For more than a month, the number did not decrease but increased.Mu Bingci and Gu Shaoting tried to break through several times, but they were all forced back by the strong firepower of the armored monsters.The machine guns that had been used in the raid had run out of bullets and few grenades were left.The longer the confrontation in the city, the fighting strength of the Zhejiang army plummeted, and there was less and less hope of breaking through.

After half a month of besieging the city, the Japanese cut off all communications and electricity in the city, making Jinan an isolated island.Any news in the city cannot be spread out.In addition to Mu Bingci's Zhejiang Army, there were also a few civilians who were lucky enough not to flee.

At the beginning of December, the Japanese sent an envoy into the city, who was a Chinese translator.

Mu Bingci met the envoy, He Dongcheng, on the Jinan city tower.

He Dongcheng conveyed Fukuda Hikosuke's arrogance very accurately: "Mr. Mu, isn't he ready to open the city and surrender? If we are trapped like this, the city will soon run out of food, right? Lieutenant General Fukuda appreciates Mr. Mu's surprise attack and capture the city, If Mr. Mu surrenders, Lieutenant General Fukuda can consider, instead of killing Mr. Mu, he is willing to hire Mr. Mu as a strategic advisor to the Japanese army."

Mu Bingci hasn't had a good rest since he was trapped in the city tower, and his voice is hoarse when he describes it as thin, but he can't lose his temper.Immediately untied the short whip from his wrist, raised his hand and whipped He Dongcheng, and said with a sneer: "Bastard, if you are blind and recognize the Fusang ghost as your master, you will feel that you are not a dog anymore? If you keep barking, I don't know." Why are the two countries not beheaded when they are at war, but just shoot you right through each other!"

He Dongcheng was not very afraid: "Mr. Mu, don't get excited. If you have bullets to kill me, you might as well keep it for self-defense. After all, there are not many resources in the city. Lieutenant General Futian said that if Mr. Mu is unwilling to surrender, starting tomorrow, the sixth The division will kill ten civilians every day and send their heads to Mr. Mu until there is no grass in Jinan City. If this continues, even if Mr. Mu is willing to surrender in the end, Lieutenant General Futian will kill all the surrendered troops in front of you. After all, Mr. What I will care about is just the process of conquering the enemy."

Furious, Mu Bingci drew a gun from the waist of the guard beside him and poked He Dongcheng on the forehead.He was stopped by Gu Shaoting and Mu Yang one by one.Gu Shaoting said: "Young commander, calm down! The other party clearly wants to provoke you and make you desperate to open the city to fight with him! Don't fall into their tricks!"

Mu Bingci's eyes were red and he couldn't break free from the restraints of the two, like a trapped animal.Gu Shaoting shouted at He Dongcheng: "Get lost!"

He Dongcheng laughed and left.

Mu Yang frowned and sighed: "Is there really no other way? We are trapped here, Mr. Jiang, Young Master, none of them came to rescue us?"

Mu Bingci gritted his teeth and said, "What does my personal life and death have to do with others? Instead of waiting here to be rescued and worrying about dying of food shortage, it is better to open the city gate and fight the Fusang ghost!"

In the past few days, it has been snowing continuously and the weather is extremely bad.The Zhejiang army was trapped in the city without power supply, so they could only endure the icy cold.However, even in such weather, the Japanese army outside the city not only showed no intention of retreating, but even started patrolling and bombing the city every now and then in the past few days, with the intention of causing trouble on purpose.Mu Bingci understands that Fukuda Hikosuke is maliciously teasing, meaning forced surrender.Furious, he hurriedly summoned Gu Shaoting and other councils, at most he was dead, all the weapons in the city were collected, and three days later, Kaesong would fight to the death with the Sixth Division!

However, the next night, Mu Bingci suddenly heard artillery fire in the city outside the city. At first, he thought that the Japanese army could not hold back and began to attack the city. People were raiding the camp in the northwest corner of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army was fighting back, causing a commotion.

Mu Yang was overjoyed: "Master, it seems that someone came to rescue us from trouble?"

Before Mu Bingci could answer, suddenly a cloud of fire exploded into the sky in the distant night sky. It seemed that an armored monster from the Japanese army had exploded.Not long after, another car was blown up, and the two fire clouds illuminated the pitch-black city.

Mu Bingci shook his head: "These people seem to be specially targeting these armored vehicles? Whether it is reinforcements or not, this is a good opportunity. We are preparing according to the original plan. We will observe the deployment of the enemy's troops in the past two days and choose one Kill the weakest place!"

Shanghai.

Tan Feng arrived in Shanghai by taking advantage of the Shanghai municipal government to hold a report meeting on the Great Shanghai Plan. In fact, he came here specially to discuss with Jiang Chengyan about the disposal of the Northwest Army.The Nanjing government received information that a grassroots organization called the "Red League" had been established all over the country, covering the entire land of China like an impenetrable net from point to area.The reason why Yang Yuan of the Northwest Army did not submit to the Nanjing government was precisely because the organization first won Yang Yuan's support.If this organization is allowed to continue to develop, the domestic situation will still be like a warlord in the future, and it will become a serious disaster.

Jiang Chengyan heard Tan Feng briefly mention this matter on the phone, and it is expected that Tan Feng will come to Shanghai this time to discuss the strategy of abolishing the Red League.Du Yiheng of the Youth Gang and Lu Chaosheng of the Blue Clothes Club were immediately summoned to arrange a bureau in full swing.

The cloudy days in Shanghai have finally begun to snow.Before Tan Feng arrived in Shanghai, Jiang Chengyan received a call from Mu Yanqiu.Mu Yanqiu's voice could not be heard to be anxious, it was calm and steady: "Brother Jiang, please stay safe."

Jiang Chengyan was rather anxious: "Yanqiu, how is the situation there? How is Bingci?"

Mu Yanqiu said: "Brother Jiang, don't worry. Bingci is still in Jinan City for the time being, and the Japanese have not yet attacked the city. I have no problems here—Pingjin Wing. Except for the Northwest Army, the domestic obstacles have been cleared away, and your great cause of unification is just around the corner. , I may not see the day when Brother Jiang becomes the Great Treasure."

Jiang Chengyan frowned: "How do you say that? I'm still waiting for you to flatten the northwest for me and unify the whole country in a real sense."

Mu Yanqiu smiled softly: "Brother Jiang, I want to save Bingci first. As soon as I think of that silly boy who has been in Jinan City in fear every day for the past two months and can't get out, I can't do anything. I will command the south The first purpose of the military administration is to keep Bingci from falling into this water. No matter what I do, I will not violate this first purpose."

Jiang Chengyan was silent for a while, and clenched the receiver with his fingers: "Yanqiu, do you have a safe plan?"

Mu Yanqiu said: "There is a plan, but it is not guaranteed. I have fought against the Japanese army in Jinan before. Compared with our Hanyang blunderbuss, their firearms and equipment are too advanced. I can only grab some from the formation. The first opportunity. At present, the Northwest Army is in sight, and my large army cannot move at all."

"I have already scouted the situation in Jiaodong. The Japanese army encircled Jinan like an iron barrel, and the people in the city couldn't fly. But their biggest weakness is that they are concentrated and not flexible enough. I mobilized two people who are good at surprise attacks. One regiment was divided into squads and rushed to attack the Japanese garrison from all directions. Instead of confronting them head-on, they only tried their best to harass them and make them tireless. In this way, the Japanese army may have two reactions. One is to call out Troops to pursue the assault army, if it is this, then another regiment in my hand will attack from the north, and lead the Japanese army to mobilize people from the other three sides to resist. At that time, Bingci can break through from the hilly area in the southwest."

Jiang Chengyan listened quietly, without commenting on the word, but only asked: "Another possibility?"

Mu Yanqiu continued: "Another possibility is that the surprise attack annoyed the Japanese army. They will desperately attack the city and slaughter the city before the reinforcements arrive. If this is the case, it will be more troublesome. At that time, I can only gather two groups Still rushing in from the north, just hoping to delay for a little time, to replace Bingci."

Jiang Chengyan understood Mu Yanqiu's subtext that he wanted to trade his life for his life, so he pondered for a while and said, "Yanqiu, actually you don't have to go in person, just send your deputy commander."

Mu Yanqiu smiled bitterly: "If I don't go, how can I rest assured that they will do their best? Besides, I lead these two regiments, like a death squad, at the cost of my life. Can I tell the sergeants that I only want to save Bingci? From their point of view, why would there be such a nobleman who deserves so many people to exchange their lives for him? Brother Jiang, I have to think of a supreme name for this raid on Jinan, and I have to rise to the top of the nation. Only when these people reward the city with their bodies have no complaints, they feel that they are supremely honored. But brother Jiang, in my heart, I feel extremely guilty for them. I only wish that I would use my life to accompany them and apologize with death."

Jiang Chengyan was silent for a long time.Neither of them spoke on the phone, only the other party's extremely depressed breath whistling through the receiver, like a frightening gust of wind whirling through the phone line.Jiang Chengyan was heartbroken, and said hoarsely: "Yanqiu, I also regret that I didn't make a plan earlier. But if I have a little more ability, how can I have the heart to trap you in such a dead situation?"

But Mu Yanqiu was relieved, as if those words had dissipated the most unbearable pain in his heart, he just smiled and said: "Brother Jiang, don't blame yourself, I certainly hope that I can still live in the end, because if I die , Bing Ci has to be involved in this filthy quagmire. For me, life or death is my luck."

What is life in Mu Yanqiu?Life or death, step by step, is all about Mu Bingci.

At that moment, Jiang Chengyan suddenly felt envious of Mu Yanqiu.To be able to die purely for one person like Mu Yanqiu is indeed a great fortune.If it was him, could he?
