Respectfully

In the fifth year of the Republic of China, on February 1913, 2 in the Gregorian calendar, the troops of the six northern provinces shelled Fengcheng for three consecutive days. The two squadrons of the Japanese army stationed here and some armed expatriates felt the fear of brushing shoulders with death almost every day. .

The strange thing is that after the bombardment, the troops in the six northern provinces never launched an infantry attack. They just fired a round of artillery at the Japanese at a fixed time every day.As Zhan Changqing said to the Japanese Consul General Yata, the troops of the six northern provinces were only conducting exercises. As for why the shells fell on the Japanese troops, it was because they were unlucky, and the artillery shells hit the intended target because of poor hands. out of range.

Even so, the losses of the Japanese army in Fengcheng in the past three days were not small. Including the armed expatriates, no less than 80 people were killed or injured by shells.So much so that they each huddled in the city and nearby towns, not daring to stay away from the Chinese people, otherwise they would definitely be bombed.

The captains of the two Japanese squadrons stationed in Fengcheng have been extremely depressed these days. They never imagined that one day the Imperial Japanese Army would be bombarded by Chinese shells so that they dared to hide rather than fight!

"It's all the navy's fault!" Squadron Captain Yamada waved his fist vigorously, "They took our military expenses away from the armed fleet! We can only fight against the Chinese cannons with rifles!"

"Yamada-kun, be careful!" Captain Shimomura quickly stopped him: "I have already sent telegrams to Lushun and Anton to ask for tactical guidance. I believe our reinforcements will arrive soon!"

"Reinforcements?" Yamada sneered: "Soldiers with rifles like us? Or navy warships? Their so-called invincible naval guns can't hit Fengcheng!"

The squadron leader Shimomura fell silent.

Yes, so what if there are reinforcements?Think about the Nanman Railway battle that ended not long ago, and the Nakamura brigade that broke the emperor's jade at Lianshanguan. The Imperial Japanese Army defeated the Qing army and Russia, but now it is powerless in front of a local warlord!It's a pity that those cabinet members are cowards, and they dare not let go and fight Huaxia all-out!

When Yamada and Shimomura were full of depression, another round of shelling began. A shell happened to land less than one kilometer away from the two of them. The ground seemed to be shaking, and dust fell from the roof. The two fell down in panic. On the ground, the cracking sound of the beams was like a talisman, Shimomura reacted quickly, jumped up and ran towards the door, Yamada, whose legs were pinned down, stretched out his hand to him, screaming desperately: "Help me!"

It's a pity that Shimomura only cared about running for his own life. Between life and death, the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire can completely abandon the friendship of their colleagues...

boom!

The Japanese army was brushing shoulders with death, but the people in Fengcheng and the surrounding villages were as happy as New Year.Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the common people in Fengcheng have not had a comfortable life for a long time. First, the Russians and then the Japanese. Since the Japanese occupied Fengcheng, many Japanese expatriates and North Korean second devils followed. They came empty-handed. , Snatch whatever you see, robbing things is not counted, and you are also specialized in doing things that animals can do!When they first arrived, the young girls and daughters-in-law dared not go out easily, and even if they hid at home, they were worried all day long, for fear that these beasts would come and kick the door one day.

Some bloody men rose up to resist, but were killed by these inhuman things.

Later, I don’t know why, these Japanese and the two devils suddenly restrained a lot, and later, I heard the news from outside business people that the troops from the six northern provinces fought with the Japanese on the South Manchuria Railway, and later, again I heard that Lianshan Pass was taken back by Marshal Lou, and all the Japanese there were slaughtered, leaving no one left.

The people in Fengcheng are looking forward to the day when the young commander will bring people to drive away the Japanese and the second devils in Fengcheng, but the news is that the six northern provinces have signed an armistice agreement with the Japanese.

Truce, just stop fighting?

When the whole country of China was cheering for the victory over the Japanese army, the people of Fengcheng were silently looking in the direction of Lianshan Pass. Their own army was there, why didn't they fight over?Kill these Japanese and the second devil? !

Some old people who have experienced the Jiawu Year sat at the door, looked at the direction of Lianshan Pass, and started to cry when they looked at it. This is the land of China, and they are Chinese people, but why are the Japanese and the two people showing off their power here? Devil? !

Now, the sound of these rumbling cannons is heard in the ears of Fengcheng people, as if they are telling them that their own people are coming, these beasts who have been doing nothing all day long and riding on their heads domineeringly, have a good day It's finally over!

More than 60.00% of the people living in Fengcheng are Manchurian Hui and other ethnic minorities, who are better at hunting than farming.

They are not used to quarreling with others, and once a dispute arises, the most direct way is to use fists to resolve it.Now, listening to the deafening sound of cannons and seeing the weak side of the invincible Japanese in the past, an undercurrent quietly began to surge in Fengcheng.

Finally one day, this turbulent undercurrent erupted, and the resentment suppressed by the people of Fengcheng for many years finally found a place to vent.

In the Lianshanguan command post, the commanders of various departments looked at each other when they heard the news from Fengcheng.

"The people in Fengcheng attacked the command post of the Japanese squadron?"

"Yes!" The scouts of the Secret Service Battalion, who were in charge of keeping an eye on the news from Fengcheng, couldn't hide their excitement, "They acted in a very orderly manner, led by a few hunters, killed the single Japanese soldiers and armed expatriates, and snatched weapons , took advantage of our army’s shelling to touch the Japanese command post, although the operation failed, it also caused a lot of panic to the Japanese army, thinking that our army had touched the city.”

"Be good." Zhao Guangyi, head of the No. 20 Eighth Regiment of the Independent Brigade, slapped his thigh, "If Fengcheng is captured, no one will rob me. I will all join the troops!"

"Old Zhao." Wang Lishan, the head of the No. 20 Ninth Regiment, quickly winked at him. In addition to the young marshal, there are two division commanders, two deputy division commanders, and a dozen or so brigade commanders in this room. Throat, do you want to be sacked?

Since the patented technology of covering sacks was taught by Li Jinyan to the soldiers of the Independent Brigade, it quickly became popular in the army. The soldiers only need to shout: Who will cover the sack today?

Those who hear it can immediately understand that this is either a fight or a group fight.

After being reminded by Wang Lishan, Zhao Guangyou realized that he was being reckless. He took a look, and sure enough, there were several "killing" eyes poking at him fiercely. He laughed dryly, closed his mouth and did not speak.

Marshal Lou pondered for a moment, and asked the scouts if there were any casualties among the people in Fengcheng.

"Report to the young marshal, one of them is seriously injured, three of them are slightly injured, and the rest are all fine. Also, one of their leaders came back with me."

Brother Bing was not sure whether his self-assessment would anger Shangfeng, so he bravely took a closer look. There was a room full of division commanders and brigade commanders, and no one seemed angry, not even the young commander.

Huh... It seems that the young commander has no expression on his face.

"Bring him in."

As soon as Master Lou's words fell, Brother Bing immediately replied: "Yes!"

Waiting outside the camp, Tong Han, who was uneasy, saw Brother Bing coming out, and wanted to go forward anxiously, but was stopped by the sentry with a gun. Brother Bing told the sentry that Shangfeng wanted to see Tong Han, and pointed at his gun before moving away. open.

"Brother Tong, come with me, the young commander wants to see you."

"You, what do you say, young commander?" Tong Han couldn't speak clearly.

"Didn't you come with me just to meet the young commander?"

Tong Han rubbed his hands, he thought that seeing an officer at most would be a godsend, but he didn't expect... the young commander, the young commander who beat up the Russians and then came to beat up the little Japanese?My God, is he going to see the real Buddha?

Walking into the command post, Tong Han saw a room full of officers carrying stars on their shoulders, and he didn't dare to vent his breath.A tall, heroic young officer walked up to him, stood still, stood at attention, and suddenly gave him a military salute. Hearing that the young man was called a young marshal, Tong Han almost sat down on the ground in fright. .

"This, this..." Tong Han's mind went blank, he didn't know what to say.

Seeing the blushing and bewildered look of this tall and thick man, Young Marshal Lou said, "This gift is for the people of Fengcheng, and for Tong Zhuang's righteousness! Our soldiers are incompetent, and let the people suffer. Some guilt!"

Tong Han's lips trembled, feeling that the words were stuck in his throat, and he exhausted all his strength before forcing out a sentence: "Young commander, take down Fengcheng, kill those little Japanese and the second devil!"

"it is good!"

A good word speaks loudly.

When Tong Han returned to the city that day, he was accompanied by a military doctor and two soldiers.They sneaked back to Tong Han's residence in the dark, and the four injured hunters were hidden in his house. The most seriously injured was flushed, obviously having a fever.

The military doctor checked the injuries of the four people, and took out a few sulfa drugs from the medicine box they carried with them, "If you hit this wound, it won't be inflamed."

Tong Han and the others didn't know what sulfonamide was, but they believed that the medicine given by the military doctor could definitely save their brother.

"Uncle Tong, is this the medicine used by Westerners?" A young Orion approached Tong Han, "It seems that the Japanese hospitals in the city use this."

Before Tong Han could answer, the military doctor had already treated the injuries of several wounded, and turned to the young Orion and said, "The Japanese don't have this medicine. Foreigners have to buy it from us if they want it."

"God!"

The young Orion exclaimed, but was slapped on the head by Tong Han, "What are you talking about, what are you going to do with the Japanese and the second devil!"

The soldier who took Tong Han to the barracks took out several boxes of canned food from his pocket, including pork and beef, and two boxes of oranges and one box of apples. They were all newly produced by the cannery, and they were first distributed to Young Marshal Lou. independent brigade.It is not easy to eat a piece of fruit in winter. Even if most of the people in the house are hunters, it is rare to eat meat a few times throughout the year. The prey caught must be exchanged for money to buy food and salt.

"A few brothers didn't eat, right? Just make do with something, let's discuss what to do next."

Brother Bing opened the cans one by one, and took out a flat iron box from his arms, opened it, and it was a compressed biscuit delivered with the canned fruit.Unable to get plastic packaging, Li Jinyan could only settle for the next best thing. He packed the biscuits in an iron box. After experimenting for a while, they were assigned to the independent brigade after seeing no problems. This really made the third division and the No.60 first division jealous again. back.

"Try all of them, don't look at the smallness of this thing, it's hungrier than steamed buns."

The hunters were all bold, and the young ones had long been drooling at the canned meat. Seeing that Tong Han took a biscuit first, they all took out their daggers, cut off a piece of the canned food and put it in their mouths.

The smell of the food made the stomachs of the wounded growl. Brother Bing, like a treasure chest, took out another jar from his pocket and opened it. Inside was fragrant fried noodles. Give a few big brothers a bowl of warm drink and have a good sleep."

"Brother, where do you put all your stuff?" The young Orion leaned over and looked at Brother Bing's clothes, as if trying to see a flower from it.

Brother Bing simply unbuttoned his clothes, which was nothing unusual, except that there were two extra pockets sewn into the clothes under the padded jacket. The clothes worn in winter were thick, and a few boxes of canned food were stuffed in, which could not be seen from the outside.

Several people had eaten, and sat on the kang to discuss what to do next. Since the six northern provinces signed an armistice agreement with Japan, and there were British people involved in it, if Marshal Lou rashly started a war with the Japanese, I am afraid that Zhu Erdian Looking for trouble again.Even if Japan's Boxer indemnity was used to block the mouths of the British, the appetites of these powers will never be satisfied.

This is also the reason why Marshal Lou bombarded Fengcheng for several days, but never ordered the infantry to attack.He is waiting, waiting for the reaction of the Japanese. Either he is forced to abandon Fengcheng, or he becomes angry and sends more troops to Fengcheng. No matter what it is, as long as the Japanese make a move, he will have an excuse to directly send troops to take down Fengcheng. .

Now, the spontaneous actions of Tong Han and others gave Lou Xiao another choice.

"Brother, don't worry, as long as you can kill those Japanese and the second devil, even if it takes my life, you can take it!"

Tong Han said murderously, the Orion in the house was the same as Tong Han, all relatives and friends died at the hands of the Japanese.It's enough for them to be "obedient citizens", and it's time for these beasts to pay their debts in blood!

On February 2, the troops of the six northern provinces suddenly stopped shelling Fengcheng.

On February 2, two hunters clashed with armed Japanese expatriates in Fengcheng, and one hunter was wounded.

On February 2, Orion, who had clashed with Japanese expatriates, disappeared.

On the same day, major newspapers and periodicals in Guanbei published the news that Fengcheng hunters Tong and Zhang were first robbed of their prey by the Japanese, then beaten and injured, and their whereabouts were unknown the next day.

On February 2th, Marshal Lou sent a telegram to the whole country, saying that Japanese expatriates beat and mutilated the people of Fengcheng for no reason. As a soldier, it is our responsibility to protect the people. If the Japanese authorities do not publicly apologize and hand over the murderer, they will bear the consequences!

As soon as the power was turned on, the Japanese defenders in Fengcheng immediately came under tremendous pressure. Consul Yada showed his face in front of him for two consecutive days, and presented evidence that this was purely a slander!It was not Orion who was wounded in the conflict but the Japanese nationals!The two hunters were not killed by the Japanese in revenge at all, but absconded in fear of crime!

evidence?Zhan Changqing sneered, the evidence could be completely fabricated.Isn't that what Japan has always been good at?

Yada was once again trembling with anger.

For several days in succession, newspapers of all sizes in Guanbei City, especially the current political news, published all kinds of evil deeds of the Japanese in China on the front page, ranging from murder and arson to the trivial refusal to pay for groceries. Let the Japanese be speechless.

On February 2, someone found two corpses outside Fengcheng. Although their faces were scratched and their faces could not be seen clearly, they could still be identified from their clothes. They were the two hunters who had disappeared before!

The voices of condemnation from the six northern provinces revived, and Marshal Lou sent another telegram, demanding that the Japanese side hand over the murderer.

The Fengcheng Japanese army still did not give any answer, nor did they intend to hand over the murderer.Perhaps the Japanese have already realized that this was a trap set by the Chinese from the very beginning!

The Japanese scorpion who has always been good at turning right and wrong into black and white was once again hacked by the joint efforts of Lou Shaoshuai and Li Sanshao.

Under the pressure of the military, the Japanese cabinet finally ordered the two armored cruisers Izumo and Yakumo of the Second Squadron of the Second Fleet to go to the Bohai Sea to bombard the coast to deter the troops of the six northern provinces.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two Japanese cruisers drove past Mokpo, they encountered the armored cruiser Gneisenau in the German Far East Fleet.

Regardless of what the two Japanese ships were here for, the Germans directly raised a semaphore to them, with only one central idea: "This is the sphere of influence of the German Empire, and Japanese warships cannot pass through."

After a stalemate for a while, the Japanese finally gave in. After the semaphore was raised, the two Japanese cruisers turned around and returned.

Qingdao Governor Waldeck received the news of the retreat of the Japanese cruiser, smiled with satisfaction, picked up the money order in the fruit basket, carefully folded it, and put it in the pocket of his coat.

The commander-in-chief of the Far East Fleet, Feng Shipei, also received gifts from the Chinese, a money order, two thousand sulfonamides, fifty boxes of canned meat, and three boxes of wine bought from the French.

In order to get the Germans to nod, Li Jinyan almost spent all his money. Although it hurts when he got the money, as long as he can stop the Japanese cruiser, everything is worth it!

At first the Germans were reluctant to help, but after Li Sanshao offered sugar-coated cannonballs wrapped in honey chocolate and a lot of banknotes, they were finally persuaded.It's just a simple thing to let a few warships wander around the sea and drive them away after encountering Japanese ships.Although the Japanese navy is very strong, in front of the Germans, who are second only to the British in strength, they still have to shrink their necks and be grandchildren.

Li Jinyan looked at the telegram sent by the adjutant, and nodded with a smile. It is really not empty talk that money can turn ghosts.

On February 2, after receiving no response to his ultimatum to Japan, Marshal Lou ordered a general attack on the Japanese army in Fengcheng.

On February 2, all the Japanese troops and armed expatriates in Fengcheng were wiped out except those who disappeared and surrendered.

Fengcheng returned to the hands of the Huaxia people.
