Respectfully

On October [-]th, as Marshal Lou issued orders one after another, the situation became tense again.

The Sixth Division attacked Kaiyuan, and the No.60 First Division stood firm at Lianshan Pass, always paying attention to the movements of the Japanese army in Fengcheng.

The No.20 Eighth Regiment and No.20 Ninth Regiment of the Independent Brigade captured Tanggangzi and Haicheng one after another, and approached Dashiqiao, where an infantry wing and an artillery brigade of the Japanese Fifth Division were stationed.The two regiments received the order to attack in a coordinated manner, but the No. 20 Eighth Regiment took the lead in rushing to Dashiqiao and launched an attack on the Japanese army at Dashiqiao.

The battle did not go smoothly, and the No. 20 Eighth Regiment of the Independent Brigade finally hit a hard nut to crack.The Japanese Infantry Wing and Artillery Brigade in Dashiqiao are the elite of the Fifth Division, especially the Artillery Brigade, two 120mm howitzers and five 75 mountain guns caught the No.20 Eighth Regiment by surprise, and then the Japanese infantry launched an attack The charge caused considerable losses to the 28th regiment.By the time the 29th regiment arrived, the 28th regiment had lost nearly one battalion, which had never happened since the war with the Japanese army.

The leader of the 28th regiment, Zhao Guangyou, had red eyes and slapped himself hard. If he hadn't been dazzled by the victories in the past few days and rushed forward to fight for success, he would not have suffered such a big loss!

There are more than 300 people in a battalion, and more than 100 of them are veterans from Manchuria. How can he explain to the young commander? !

Wang Lishan, head of No.20 Ninth Regiment, walked into the temporary command post, saw Zhao Guangyou's appearance, and punched him hard, "Now I know that my heart hurts, what did I do earlier? Ah?!"

Zhao Guang wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth, "TNND, I personally lead someone to charge!"

"What are you doing?!" Captain Wang grabbed him, "What are you doing rushing up to, you're courting death!"

"..."

"The Japanese are not made of paper. Before departure, you forgot the orders sent by the young commander?" When Wang Lishan said this, seeing Zhao Guangyou's face full of remorse, his tone finally eased: "The young commander has already The artillery battalion of the brigade is sent here, just wait and see, even if the bone in front of us is hard to chew, we have to chew it up and swallow it in our stomachs!"

Tadashi Oshima, the captain of the Oshima Regiment, put down his binoculars, and patted Tongkou, the captain of the Artillery Brigade, on the shoulder, "Mr. Tongkou, well done!"

"Yes!"

"These Chinese people have been dazzled by the victory. Today, they will learn a lesson they will never forget!" Tadashi Oshima raised his binoculars again, "Continue to bombard and tear these Chinese people to pieces!"

"Yes!"

Boom boom boom!

The deafening artillery sounded again, and every shell fell, you could see the rising black smoke and gravel. Soldiers from the two regiments of the Independent Brigade hid in the trenches and artillery holes dug halfway, and occasionally one The shells fell on the head, and the soldiers hiding in the bomb defense holes would be buried in it. If they were lucky, they would be dug out, but if they were unlucky...there would be no bones left.

Zhao Guangyou, the commander of the 28th Regiment, stood in the temporary command post and forced himself to look at everything in front of him. If he hadn't been dazzled by the previous victory and committed the taboo of underestimating the enemy, these soldiers would You shouldn't die, you shouldn't die!

boom!

A shell hit a place less than five meters away from the temporary command post. Everyone in the command post could feel the ground trembling under their feet. The adjutants and staff officers all rushed towards Commander Zhao, but he pushed them away, " Cannonballs that can kill me have not yet been produced!"

The shelling that lasted for 15 minutes finally stopped, and there was silence on the battlefield.

"Tuan Zuo, what should we do next?"

"What else can we do?" Zhao Guangyou looked in the direction of the Japanese army, "Count the number of people, count the battle damage, and tell the brothers, when our heavy artillery arrives, blow up these bastards!"

Anshan, the base of the Independent Brigade

"Young commander, the 28th regiment is calling!"

"read."

Young Marshal Lou stared intently at the map laid out on the table. After hearing nothing for a long time, he raised his head, "What's the matter?"

"Young commander, the battle at Dashiqiao is not going well."

"Go on."

"Yes! The 28th regiment was bombarded by the Japanese army..."

After hearing Adjutant Ji finished reading the telegram, Marshal Lou pondered for a moment, and asked, "Where is the brigade artillery battalion?"

"I have already passed Haicheng. I will be able to reach Dashiqiao this afternoon."

Young Marshal Lou slowly raised his head, the wide black brim of his hat cast a dark shadow on his face, his black eyes seemed to be lurking in the dark night, ready to strike at any moment and bite the prey's throat, he said word by word: " Order to take down Dashiqiao within two days! Not one Japanese army at Dashiqiao will be left behind."

"Yes!"

"and also……"

"Yes?"

"Don't forget to send the telegram from Guanbei."

"..."

Li Jinyan didn't know what orders Master Lou gave Adjutant Ji, he was so angry with the British guy in front of him that he wanted to kill him.

"George, would you please say that again?"

"Li, I think you should understand," said George, the manager of the British foreign company: "The ship has been sailing in the sea for nearly two months, and it is inevitable to cause some losses."

"Understand that I asked for fifty healthy British pigs and you only gave me 42 and asked me to pay in full?"

What made Li Jinyan angry was not just the wrong quantity of goods, but that only one of the large white pigs shipped to Guanbei was a breeding pig!Li Jinyan gritted his teeth angrily, but there was nothing he could do. Although the contract price was the price of breeding pigs, it did not indicate that the British sold him must be breeding pigs.Perhaps he should be thankful that the British still wanted to start a canning business with him and didn't make a fool of him.

If he wants to continue to import breeding pigs from the UK, he must maintain a "good" relationship with this British guy.Li Jinyan had to force himself to swallow this breath, although he really wanted to punch this British guy in the face.

Taking a deep breath, Li Jinyan told himself that the future is long, and there will always be a day for him to get back!

Things aren't always bad, though.

On October 20th, the first batch of machine tools purchased from Germany was shipped to Qingdao.Also on board are more than [-] German experts and skilled workers who will help build an arsenal capable of independently producing guns in the six northern provinces.The site of the factory was chosen at the location of the military factories in the six northern provinces. According to Zhan Changqing, the place and the factory buildings are ready-made, which can save time and cost.

Du Weiyan also agreed with both hands. Before the German experts and technicians arrived, many workers with solid skills and strong learning ability had been selected and arranged to work for these German technicians. As for what can be learned from these Germans? How many things, all depend on themselves.

Anyway, the opportunity is rare, and it is a little bit to learn a little bit.

Before the Germans arrived, Li Jinyan specifically told Du Weiyan that the tank must be kept secret!Including him, all insiders must keep their mouths shut, and these Germans must not find any clues.

The German tanks during World War II are world-famous. If the Germans were not so strict in the production process that they lost to the Allies in the number of tanks, I am afraid that the Soviet T-34 would only be beaten.

If the tanks were made by the Germans in advance, I am afraid that the outcome of World War I will change!

Never let this happen!

The period of World War I was the golden age for the development of China's national industry. If the process and results of World War I changed, all the efforts he had made before would be in vain, and the matter of repaying the loan with bread after the war would become a joke!

Du Weiyan assured Li Jinyan that he would never let anything about the tank leak to the outside world, but Li Jinyan was still worried, and in a hurry sent a telegram to Marshal Lou, which read: "What should I do if the ugly monster is seen by outsiders? "

Li Jinyan began to admire the name he gave the tank. Even if someone read this telegram, they would definitely not associate the ugly monster with some kind of weapon.

The call back came quickly, and after reading the contents of the telegram, Li Jinyan went to find Marshal Lou as he said.

"Okay, I know about this." Marshal Lou said, "Don't worry, those Germans in custody won't find anything."

With the assurance from Marshal Lou, Li Jinyan was finally relieved.

On October 22, the German train arrived at Guanbei City. Zhan Changqing and several German-speaking military government officials greeted them at the station in person.

On October 25, after troops from the six northern provinces successively captured Dashiqiao and Kaiyuan, and the South-Manchuria Railway was suspended for nearly a month, Japan finally made a request for an armistice and peace talks with China through the British envoy.

However, the Japanese played tricks and proposed peace talks with the six northern provinces, ignoring the northern president Sima Jun and the southern interim president Song Zhou.

This is similar to the fact that the Russians left the six northern provinces before and went to the northern government for peace talks. They are undoubtedly trying to provoke the relationship between the northern government and the six northern provinces.It's just that the Russians wanted to suppress Marshal Lou through the northern government, while the Japanese severely discredited President Sima.

It's just that what the Japanese didn't expect was that Lou Shengfeng had a handle on Mr. Sima, and this handle was related to the Japanese. The actions of the Japanese not only failed to provoke Sima Jun and Lou Shengfeng. On the contrary, both sides hated Japan so much that they gritted their teeth.

The so-called stealing chickens does not save money, but that is the case.
