Chapter 672: A Little Chase Before the Great War

1. "The Yellow Peril!" ”

He Changying said with a smile: "In the past, the ocean, desert and primeval forests were used as fences, so a strong China could not pose a threat to the West, but now the world is one, so Europe is afraid, afraid that China will rise again in Asia!" Starting with the Russian Bagunin, to the Chinese Exclusion Act in the United States, the German Emperor Wilhelm II even personally conceived a "Yellow Peril" and sent it to the Russian Tsar to encourage Tsarist Russia to invade China; In recent years, China has hurt Europe, only Europe has invaded and oppressed us, but the European countries are still unrelenting against China, which comes from their fear! ”

"I once had a dream, and I once said to a female spy in the East, 'After a hundred long years, mankind at that time will find out how foolish and ignorant this narrow fight was.'" Yet now I know I was wrong, naΓ―ve and outrageously wrong! ”

He Changying threw the cigarette butt into the fire and stood up: "When the blacks and whites of Europe who were loaded onto slave ships talked about human rights, morality and law, when the Indians talked about peace and friendship with the European and American colonizers, and when our Chinese nation was industrious and kind and had no quarrel with the world, what did they greet? Whips, bondage, bullets and bayonets! ”

"I have a dream, fair, just, without killing wars of aggression and slavery; No Asian, European, African, everyone is equal; Everyone has little support, the old are dependent, well-fed and clothed, not hungry and not oppressed, and everyone can live in the sun with dignity. ”

He Changying lit a cigarette, was speechless for a long time, and then said loudly: "And now I understand that this world is still a bloody era that pursues the law of the jungle, and without strength, your wealth is the sin of the beast!" For 'evil', we can only use vajra thunderbolt means, kill to stop killing, and eliminate evil with evil! ”

That night, these words of He Changying were brought to Europe by John three months later, and were first published in the British "Times", and then reprinted in the French "Little Daily", the American "New York Sun", the German "Daily", and the Austrian "New Vienna Zeitung".

At that time, it was the end of May in the Western calendar, and both the Qing and Japanese countries were in an extremely embarrassing situation.

And He Changying and their legions, who roasted the Qing and Japanese countries on the fire, really entered the eyes of ordinary people in the entire Western world for the first time.

At 4 o'clock in the morning of the next day, John and Angus, escorted by a platoon of cavalry, rode fast horses out of the Qing garrison and took the lead in heading southwest.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, the anti-Japanese army woke up loudly, the garrison was disturbed, and the soldiers began to get up and tidy up, and cook on the fire.

In the area of Da'an Village, 300 miles to the west, the First Army of the Japanese Army, which had been carnivaling in the middle of the night, also began to prepare to pull out the camp.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the cavalry sentry of the Gan army and the vanguard cavalry of the Japanese army encountered in the east of Bieshan Village, and more than 30 Japanese cavalry with blood red eyes first rushed towards nearly 20 Gan soldiers with their horses screaming.

"Bang, bang!"

"Yaga, attack; Catch up and leave no one behind, all of them are dead and dead! ”

Captain Kojiro Shimojo, the leader of the 3rd Squadron 1 of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade who led the team, held the Murata Type 22 repeating rifle in his hand and fired again and again from a distance of about 200 meters.

"Good luck brothers; Yesterday, my brother's big gun only rubbed out a little bit of fire, and today I came to send my ears to let our brother go to Jizhou City Kiln! ”

Dong Yanying, the outpost commander of the vanguard cavalry battalion who led the team, shouted excitedly: "Retreat to the south, play to death this group of fools little by little, and let them know the sharpness of our Gan soldiers!" ”

"Kill them!"

The seventeen Gan soldiers of the cavalry battalion all shouted 'oh, oh' with a look of ecstasy and a warlike spirit.

Immediately, while driving their horses to retreat towards the snowy fields in the south, the Gan cavalry sat on their horses reflexively and raised their guns to shoot at the Japanese cavalry rushing behind.

"Bang, bang, bangβ€”"

Suddenly, in the wilderness and snow south of Beshan Village, there was a burst of gunfire, accompanied by the neighing of war horses, and the roar of soldiers on both sides, chasing and fleeing fiercely.

During the pursuit and escape, the soldiers on both sides were constantly shot by the horses, and under the superb shooting of the men on the northwest horses, the number of Japanese soldiers was much higher than that of the Gan army.

It's just that after chasing less than a mile, 15 of the 32 Japanese cavalry were put down.

And only three of the Gan cavalry were shot and fell off their horses.

"Yaga, these bastards, pigs!"

Shimojo Kojiro was so angry that his eyes were blood-red, and his lungs were about to explode, and at this time he really wanted to continue to charge bravely and slaughter all these damn clear dogs.

However, reason told him that if he continued to chase like this, it would not take much effort, and the remaining seventeen members of his half team would all die here!

Thinking of the headless corpses that he saw last night that didn't match his body, Shimojo Kojiro shivered heavily, and hurriedly shouted and gave an order: "Return to the horse, retreat, and retreat at full speed immediately!" ”

The Japanese cavalry, who had already been frightened, heard this order, and immediately one by one, as if they had been pardoned, they turned their horses' heads and fled to the east.

"Want to run?"

The corners of Dong Yanying's mouth showed a blood-thirsty smile, his right hand was holding the gun in one hand, and his left hand pressed the horse's back, and he turned back on the horse running at high speed.

While controlling the steering, he yelled: "Brothers, harvest the ears!" ”

"Harvest the ears!"

The remaining thirteen Saibei men all shouted loudly, supported the horse's back with one hand with their left hand and rotated their bodies, turned the horse's head and let the horse pursue.

The tall and durable Mongolian horses soon caught up with the Japanese bantam horses, and in the sound of gunfire and swords, the remaining seventeen Japanese soldiers were killed one by one by the Gan cavalry, and none of them escaped the net.

At about 9 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army's advance 10th Brigade arrived at Beshan Village, which had long been empty, and immediately found these earless corpses lying in Siye.

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers of the 10th Brigade were spurting bloodshot from their eyes one by one, their faces were full of blood, and they all shouted 'bloody battle' and 'no one left', cursing incessantly.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, the 10th Brigade of Lijian Shangwen arrived at Limingzhuang.

On the banks of the Ji Canal four miles ahead, there are colorful flags from south to north.

Seeing Shang Wen raise his binoculars and look at it, the Wang Zi Military Flag, the Ma Zi Military Flag, the Dong Zi Shuai Banner, the Zhang Zi Military Flagβ€”β€”, as well as the 6 80 Krupp rapid-fire guns erected on a high ground in Shangcang Village that Li Jian Shangwen had never seen before, and the three-way cavalry in Xunzi Town, Shangcang Village, and Xiacang Village are all vividly visible.

"This Qing armyβ€”"

Yusaku Uehara, a staff officer of the 1st Army, who was standing beside Naowen Tachimi, looked at the Qing army's defense line as frankly and unblably as a woman without clothes, and couldn't find the right words to describe it for a long time.

"If the Beiyang Army is weak enough, these Qing troops are garbage in the garbage!"

After seeing Shangwen say this, he couldn't help but think of the 7th Squadron that was wiped out yesterday, as well as the cavalry that was completely annihilated in Beshan Village just now, and his face turned a little red and added:

"Soldiers are first-class good soldiers, but the backward primitive combat thinking of the generals of the Qing army, even if they hand over the 'Juyi Script' of the Earl of Shan County to them, they will only use it with chopping wood."

"Regiment commander, please order our troops to attack immediately now and crush the Qing army position in front!"

The 22nd Wing Commander Tomioka Mizo Nakasa, loudly asked for orders.

"I don't have the right to give orders to fight."

Seeing Shangwen smile and said: "Facing a plate of good meat, as well as the fat pig in Yanjing behind the meat, you and I have no right to decide how to go under the knife, that is a matter for Youpeng in Shanxian County; Although this Qing-Japanese war is commanded by me, it will definitely be 10,000 times better than this thing in Shanxian County! ”
