Respectfully

Although Fengcheng was regained and an infantry brigade and two squadrons of the Japanese army stationed here were annihilated, the remaining Japanese forces in Fengcheng have not been completely eliminated.Especially the Japanese armed expatriates and the second devils who fled to various towns and villages made the officers and soldiers gnash their teeth with hatred.

Taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the troops in the six northern provinces and the lack of time to send troops to the remote villages, a group of Japanese armed expatriates fled to Cangjia Village, which is far away from Fengcheng, and killed all 33 members of [-] households who had lived there for generations. die.After looting property, he set fire to the village and fled.When the troops from the six northern provinces got the news and arrived, the whole village was surrounded by raging fire and thick black smoke, and there was not a single person left alive.

A company commander of an independent brigade cavalry saw the scene in front of him, his eyes were cracked, and he cursed angrily: "Damn it, this is a bunch of beasts!"

According to the footprints left on the snow, the group was fleeing towards Sinuiju, North Korea.

"Company commander, do you want to chase?"

"Chasing!" The cavalry company commander pulled the reins violently, "Even if I chase them to North Korea, I will kill them alive!"

"Yes!"

These cavalrymen are like wolves who have smelled blood, and they will not give up until they kill and tear up their prey!

When Marshal Lou received the report, the cavalry of this company had already caught up with the Japanese who fled after committing the crime.The knights carried their carbine behind their backs, drew out their sabers and laid them across the saddle, and rode their horses over behind the out of breath Japanese. Before they could send it out in time, seven or eight heads with eyes wide open, with terrified expressions, had already rolled down on the snow.

"sixth!"

The cavalry company commander swung his saber and split the last Japanese who was still breathing in half.

The cavalry finished the battle. Not far away, another group of Japanese armed expatriates and a few North Korean devils were running towards this side. Behind them, they were chasing a squad of infantrymen from the six northern provinces. The Japanese armed expatriate on the side fell to the ground, and when the pursuers passed by him, they did not forget to stab him.

"Company commander, it belongs to the 61st Division." A cavalryman said.

The cavalry company commander nodded, "Line up, go help! Don't let these beasts escape!"

From the blood-stained packages behind the escaped Japanese expatriates and the second devils, it can be seen that they must have done the same thing as the group of beasts before escaping!

The sound of horseshoes stepping on the snow was like thunder crackling. When these people saw the cavalry ahead, their hope of survival had been replaced by despair.Just like those Chinese people who were killed by them, their lives will end today.

"Squad leader, it's an independent brigade."

The infantry of the No. 60 Division also recognized the cavalry in front. The military uniform of the Independent Brigade is so easy to recognize. So far, it is the only one in the six northern provinces and even the whole country.But I can't be envious. For the officers and soldiers of the 61st Division, what they wear and eat now is a hundred times better than before.

"I see." The squad leader glared at the private first class, "I've aimed and shot them all, don't let any of them escape!"

"Yes!"

This battle, which can be called a massacre, took place less than five kilometers away from Sinuiju!The Chinese soldiers who had finished the battle waved their sabers provocatively at the Japanese soldiers on the Korean border, as if they were mocking them as cowards!

These Japanese soldiers just watched all this happen, did not take any action, even did not pull the bolt.They were ordered not to have any conflicts with the Chinese army, and to avoid giving the Chinese army an excuse to enter North Korea!

Now Japan is not only defeated by the army of the six northern provinces, but also the international situation is very passive. Before completely turning the situation around, Japan must be patient!

Due to Li Jinyan's private operation, the newspaper industry in the six northern provinces set off a wave of smearing the Japanese. Almost all shit was put on the Japanese's head. The more scolding the newspaper, the better the sales.Even major newspapers in Beijing, Shanghai and other places began to write relevant reports, and some articles with "conclusive evidence" were reprinted by foreign newspapers.Although it is not a well-known newspaper, it is enough to make the "brilliant image" of the Japanese in the world to a new level.

The crimes committed by the Japanese nationals in Fengcheng were reported, and the photos and reports published in the newspapers made the Chinese people even more outraged!

The previous Lushun massacre, the Japanese painstakingly annihilated the evidence, and everything that happened in Fengcheng, the Japanese no longer have any excuses to deny it!

At this time, some people still said that the reason why these Chinese people died was because the troops from the six northern provinces attacked Fengcheng.Even if it was the Japanese nationals who set the fire and killed people, Lou Xiao, who started the war, cannot escape the blame!The expatriates were forced to do nothing, and Lou Xiao was the culprit in this matter!Those people were not killed by the Japanese, but actually died at the hands of Lou Xiao!

The "literati" who made the remarks used a pseudonym. He thought that no one would find out. He didn't want to be blocked at home by angry students and crowds that day. After several students found him and his family, he The house was smashed into a mess.When he was taken away by the police, he spat at him severely and raised his voice and said: "Since the young commander was at fault for attacking Fengcheng, it is also your fault that I smashed your home! I just wish I could kill you. What face is there to meet the people who died in vain in the palace of the King of Hades!"

Since then, no "peaceful person" has dared to openly sympathize with the Japanese, and no one has said that the Japanese expats are innocent.Even the previous questioning of the military in the six northern provinces deliberately provoking the war, the rhetoric of militarism has also died down.

"Repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue? Repay grievances with honesty, and repay virtue with virtue!"

"For animals that are not human, you should treat animals the same way!"

During this period of time, many fierce remarks similar to this have emerged, and they have also won the support of more and more people.Looking at the signature behind the article, Li Jinyan frowned, Xiao Youde really knows how to employ people.After being locked up for nearly 20 days, Zhang Jiancheng was released from prison.After more than half a month of ideological remolding, his thoughts and positions have undergone fundamental changes.

In school, he no longer spoke freely against the warlords, but turned his guns on the Japanese, Russians, and all the great powers that were grabbing interests on the land of China.He gave speeches and wrote articles, regretting that he had gone astray under the instigation of people with ulterior motives, but he was also grateful for being able to repent in time.

"The enemies of China are those great powers! Only by driving away these great powers that cut flesh and sucked blood from China can the country get rid of poverty and become rich and strong!"

Around Zhang Jiancheng once again gathered many enthusiastic young students, and those who had made trouble with him in front of the Marshal's Mansion before became his loyal supporters.

"This is a shameless country, a shameless nation! They must be overthrown, and they must be driven out of the six northern provinces and Huaxia!"

"Down with Japan!"

"Long live the army of the six northern provinces!"

"Long live China!"

After hearing Zhang Jiancheng's speech, Li Jinyan once again confirmed that this person is really a good material for publicity work.As long as he is not a traitor, as long as he is full of enthusiasm, as long as he can listen to the truth, Li Jinyan dares to use him, and the effect of using him is ten times better than he expected!

"Master Yan, someone wants to see you."

"who is it?"

"It was sent back by the young marshal, who told you to settle them down."

Young Marshal Lou sent it back, and let him settle down?

Li Jinyan pondered for a moment, and had a vague guess in his heart.

Tong Han and Zhang Dong walked into the door, and when they saw Li Jinyan, they didn't know where to put their hands and feet.The two burly men from the north were as shy as girls at the moment.

Li Jinyan recognized Brother Bing standing in front of the two of them, and became more certain of the guess in his heart. He waved the girl to go out and close the door, indicating that Brother Bing could talk.

Brother Bing paid a military salute to Li Jinyan and said, "Master Yan, these two are the heroes who helped the young commander defeat the Japanese army and take back Fengcheng, Tong Han and Zhang Dong."

Tong Han and Zhang Dong heard Brother Bing talk about Li Jinyan. The young man in front of him, who looked like the man in the painting, was the young master of the Li family, the boss of the business, the young handsome's daughter-in-law?

After listening to Brother Bing's introduction, Li Jinyan stood up and bowed to Tong Han and Zhang Dong to salute, "You two are righteous!" Li Jinyan bent this waist sincerely.

All of a sudden, the faces of the two men turned red, and they couldn't even speak a word.Wanting to reach out to help, he suddenly remembered Li Jinyan's identity, the daughter-in-law of the young marshal, even if she is a man, she can't touch her clothes!Withdrawing his hand made his expression even more embarrassing.

Li Jinyan straightened his waist and said to the two with a smile: "Don't worry, you two, I will make arrangements for you. I wonder if your family members have come together? They can be settled together."

Tong Han shook his head, and the smile on his face became a bit bitter: "How can there be any family members who let the Japanese give... Dongzi is the same as me, one person is full and the whole family is not hungry."

"Feel sorry."

"What's the matter with Master Guan Yan? It's all caused by the Japanese and those second devils!" Zhang Dong clenched his fists, "If it wasn't for the fear of missing the young commander's important matter, I would have killed a few more and died for me. Parents, wives and children take revenge!"

After handing over the person to Li Jinyan, Brother Bing left.Li Jinyan arranged Tong Han and Zhang Dong to the farm, and believed that these two people would get along well with the veterans on the farm.

After returning to Fengcheng, the 61rd Division will switch defenses with the 61st Division. The officers and soldiers of the [-]st Division are all from Guangxi, and they are not used to the severe cold weather in the north. After returning from patrolling, many people sneezed and had runny noses. The consumption of ginger soup in the barracks skyrocketed .No one got chilblains, not even those who had been born in the south before.

"It's all thanks to the cotton coat and cotton gloves, and the shoes are still made of pigskin." Pang Tianyi, the commander of the No. 60 First Division, and the military doctor who examined the officers and soldiers said: "This is the first time for the brothers I brought from Guangxi to wear leather shoes." .”

Not only No. 60 Division [-], but even the [-]th Division from Guangdong couldn't put it down because of the military uniforms, military boots, gloves and cotton hats.Division commander Tang Yuhuang touched the leather hat specially distributed to senior officers, and couldn't help but be speechless: "This hat probably doesn't cost five oceans, but it's really rich..."

The No.60 [-]st Division switched defenses with the [-]rd Division, and the [-]th Division also switched defenses with the [-]th Division transferred back from Shandong. The two southern divisions returned to Guanbei City to rest.

The officers and soldiers of the Tenth Division, who had stayed in Shandong for several months, got off the train and assembled on the platform to count the number of people. There were more than 2000 people more than when they set off.

"Old Dai, what's going on?"

Du Yu, the commander of the Second Division who came to pick him up, said to Dai Xiaozhong, the commander of the Tenth Division, in a low voice: "Didn't you recruit troops in private? The North and the South are going to have peace talks again soon, so be careful not to cause trouble for the commander in chief."

"I can't help it." Mr. Dai was also quite helpless, "If you have to follow, I can't throw people off the train, can I?"

"What?"

It turned out that there were more than 2000 more people, besides the Lu army, there were also many local young men.Since Han Anshan came to power in Shandong, in order to earn money, he planted a large amount of opium in Shandong, and many farmlands were expropriated, and the food produced was getting less and less every year.Although growing opium can make money, opium cannot be eaten as a meal!Food prices remain high, and there are many complaints from the people. Now that Shandong is occupied by several forces, life is even more difficult.

"You haven't seen what's going on in Shandong now." Master Dai thought of everything he saw in Shandong, and his face became very ugly. "I discussed with Lao Du and took the canned food and biscuits sent to the two divisions. Some of them were distributed to the hungry people, just a few cans and a few biscuits, and they cried and called us Bodhisattva! The soldiers who went to distribute the things came back with red eyes."

Speaking of this, Dai Xiaozhong's voice lowered. He was used to seeing tough men who lived and died on the battlefield. Thinking of the scene at that time, he couldn't help but feel sour at the corners of his eyes.

"When the [-]th Division withdrew, it distributed most of the remaining canned food to the hungry people. These young adults ran to hide on the train while we were distributing things. There were too many people at that time, and the train station People are also helping them, and I have no choice but to bring them all back."

"I think you are softening your heart?"

"Whatever you say." Master Dai grinned, "In short, the person was brought back, so they can't be thrown back on the train, right?"

"You!"

Marshal Lou knocked down the South-Manchuria Railway and took down Fengcheng. The army's garrisons suddenly increased, and the strength in his hands was slightly insufficient, so he transferred the Tenth Division back. In addition, the North-South peace talks will soon be held. This move can be regarded as a gesture for the six northern provinces.

The title of the Bald Army in the era of Marshal Lou has been gradually replaced by the Lou Family Army. The soldiers from other provinces who had contact with the troops of the six northern provinces once joked that they were young soldiers and old soldiers.

The food is good, the clothes are good, and the weapons used are also authentic imported goods. What is it if it is not a young master?

But jokes are jokes, they are just talking in private, after all, these soldiers from the six northern provinces can kill, and they don't even bat an eye when they kill.

On February 2, after arranging the related affairs of Fengcheng, Marshal Lou returned to Guanbei City with the independent brigade.

Prior to this, the No. 60th Division had already arrived in Guanbei first, and had rested for several days. What happened in Fengcheng, along with the mouths and pens of the garrison reporters who returned with the 61st Division, spread throughout the streets of Guanbei City University. lane.

As soon as the train of the Independent Brigade entered the station, there were cheers on the platform.The crowd made the policemen and soldiers maintaining order sweat profusely.

Intelligence officers from the six northern provinces in plain clothes were also crowded in the crowd. It was difficult to ensure that there were no malicious people in such a scene. Their purpose was to target any suspicious persons and arrest them without evidence if necessary.

The train stopped, the door opened, and the military band immediately played military music. Marshal Lou stepped off the train, dressed in military uniform, with a black cloak, snow-white gloves, and black military boots. The cameras hung on the chests of the reporters at the scene burst into white waves. Yan, if Brother Bing hadn't been present, he might have rushed up.

"Father!"

Lou Xiao walked up to Marshal Lou, who was wearing the uniform of the commander-in-chief in three steps at a time, and stood up to salute with his heels on his heels, as if he still smelled of gunpowder smoke from the battlefield.

After Marshal Lou returned the salute, he laughed loudly and patted Marshal Lou on the shoulder vigorously, "Okay!"

Old Mr. Meng who was standing at the side stroked his beard and said with a smile, "It's true that the father of the tiger has no dogs, the young phoenix is ​​as clear as the old phoenix, young heroes, as they should be!"

The officers and soldiers of the Independent Brigade also began to dismount and assemble in an orderly manner. Neither the former No.60 Division nor the current Independent Brigade brought back any prisoners.

When attacking the South Manchuria Railway, Marshal Lou had ordered that no prisoners be taken. In Fengcheng, the troops from the six northern provinces continued to carry out this order.Especially after witnessing the massacre of the people of Fengcheng by the fleeing armed expatriates and the burning of the village, this order was carried out very thoroughly.

Like the Tenth Division that came back from Shandong, the Independent Brigade also brought back no less than five hundred young men.Most of them are local hunters, with strong bodies and good guns.It was the first time for these simple men to see such a big battle. When the reporter's camera pointed at them, all their hands and feet were stiff, and they didn't know which foot to walk first.

On the same day, dozens of tables were set up in the Marshal's Mansion, and Li Jinyan also dragged a lot of pigs and sheep from the farm and sent them to the barracks to feed the soldiers.

By the way, the British finally agreed to sell another ten breeding pigs to Li Sanshao. Although the price was more than double the previous one, Li Jinyan gritted his teeth and agreed.It doesn't matter if you suffer a loss now, there will always be a time when you can get it back!

In addition to pigs and sheep, there were a lot of wild boars and pheasants on the farm during this time. Tong Han and Zhang Dong are both cheerful and good hunters. They were assigned to the farm, and they hit it off with Liu Geda and others. After entering the wild boar, without saying a word, he carried a shotgun and went into the mountain with a few days of dry food.Two days later, Tong Han went down the mountain alone, pulling a wild boar weighing no less than three hundred catties on a sledge temporarily tied up with wooden stakes behind him!

"Such a big guy is rare in our place." Tong Han took a sip of strong wine with his neck back, and after warming up for a while, he asked Liu Geda to pick a few strong ones to go up the mountain with him, "Dig out three litters of wild boars, The big ones were slaughtered, and there were a few piglets. Dongzi was watching there, and brought them back to Master Yan. The big wild boar meat was rough, but the meat of wild piglets was not rough, and the more they chewed, the more delicious it was. Give Young Master Yan a taste."

In the end, Tong Han took two soldiers and a few old men up the mountain, and brought back enough wild boars to feed the people on the farm for three months!

Li Jinyan was also quite surprised when he found out, looking at the whining wild boar in the kitchen, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

On the other hand, the cook is sharpening his knife, such a good material, he should show his hands!

So, the Marshal's Mansion ate roast suckling pig for three days.
