It is 10 miles northeast of Tangshan and 3 miles east of Kailuan Coal Mine.

On the post road in the east of Wali Village.

The sea breeze brought a warm breath from the east, and the snow on the ground was rapidly melted away by the fine sunny days for several days, and the post road leading to the gate began to become muddy at about nine o'clock in the morning.

"Look at the Qing army outpost and dragon banner on the top of the mountain, in front of it is the Kailuan Coal Mine, and Luanzhou is still in the hands of the Qing Dynasty."

After a day's rush yesterday, John and his entourage finally arrived in the east of Tangshan City tiredly.

Seeing the golden dragon flag swaggering on the top of the mountain in the distance, everyone's mood suddenly improved, which showed that Tangshan City and Kailuan Coal Mine were lucky to avoid the bloodbath of the war.

Traveling all the way from Changli, the village where chickens and dogs had heard of each other all the way was forced to make the 1st Army of Youpeng in Shan County scourge corpses all over the field, and the mountains were full of new graves.

There were ruins everywhere after the fire burned, and John was in tears as he used up all his film.

He wants the whole Western world to know about the many crimes committed against China by the beastly country of the East!

"Haha, when I arrive in Tangshan, I must bring a full load of wine and go on the road immediately, let me return to Jinmen drunk, and then leave this country quickly;"

Bruce's entire face, hands and feet were covered with chilblains from the bitter cold of the Northeast, but this was nothing compared to the suffering he had seen the crimes of the Japanese army.

He said in a hoarse voice: "Killing people, women and children, and molesting women in the war is simply a heinous crime!" ””

"Colonel Bruce, the atrocities of the Japanese army have succeeded in infuriating the great He, these idiot Japanese soldiers don't know what kind of military god they provoked!"

Bert, a young retired captain, had an expression of adoration in his eyes: "The Battle of Shanhaiguan is a top example that I have never seen in Western history. He's an amazing military master! ”

"If how to go all the way, with a population of 400 million, not inferior to the weapons of the West, and the dangerous idea of 'China should be the world's first-class nationals' revealed in "The Scream", then the entire East, and even the world-"

Angus's eyes flickered, but he immediately stopped this untimely whisper to himself, although he used the Austrian language, but the cavalry escorting were all soldiers of the independent battalion, and many Nanyang people were already able to communicate in simple Austrian.

He didn't want his words to be spread out before he left China.

Angus then said with a sad face: "Don't you find that there is paper money on the road, and there are new graves in the south recess?" The Japanese army has definitely been here, and they have carried out bloody massacres anyway! ”

As they spoke, the caravan passed by the silent village, and could see some wooden windows with a slight gap inside, and it was obvious that someone was looking at the passing caravan.

When I went to Shanhaiguan from here a few years ago, everyone still remembered that the men, women and children of the village stood at the entrance of the village to watch the excitement, as well as the barking of dogs, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese in Zhuangzi, and the 'moo' sound of old cattle.

Now it's all gone.

Even if it was the Chinese army they had seen at this time, the people who were deeply hurt no longer couldn't believe it, but closed their doors and hid in the house secretly cursing and crying.

Everyone was heavy in their hearts, and they all hurried around the village in silence, and none of the soldiers had the face to ask for a bowl of hot water to drink.

Passing through the village, the horse team continued to move forward, and some facilities on the Luanzhou coal mine were already faintly visible among the sparse trees.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

At this time, several gunshots rang out from the hilltop guard post in the Luanzhou Coal Mine.

Everyone looked up, only to see a dozen Qing soldiers dressed in red and red standing on the top of the mountain, all holding spears and shooting into the sky, and then jumping and jumping with their hands dancing wildly.

"Why is the smoke from the muzzle of this gun so big, like a small cannon?"

Captain Karl looked at the muzzle of the rifle on the top of the hill, spewing out white smoke balls, his face full of confusion.

"This is a breech gun, of course you are too young to see it!"

Bruce's eyes showed a look of nostalgia: "The first rifle I used when I joined the army at the age of sixteen was a breech gun, with a thick muzzle and a projectile of more than 20mm, which was hugely powerful, and it was like a small cannon, and a big boar of four or five hundred pounds could be put down with one shot." ”

"It's just that the barrel has no rifling, and it depends on luck at a distance of thirty or forty meters, and the time you put one shot, even a single rifled gun can shoot five or six shots!"

The corners of Angus's mouth showed a look of disbelief: "The Qing Dynasty's gun in Shanhaiguan is enough to surprise me, there is still this kind of antique gun, isn't this country known as rich?" ”

Hearing Angus's astonishment, the sergeants of the independent battalion who accompanied the team were speechless and silent.

And Shi Weicheng and Li Yuanyang, who had been following the Angus four and leading the team, glanced at each other, and Shi Weicheng saw a sharpness hidden in the depths of Li Yuanyang's eyes.

The reason why He Changying pulled out the two of them when the Zhili War was about to rise naturally also had his reasons.

Shi Weicheng was ruthless and decisive, and he had long been completely dead to the Qing Dynasty, and the anti-Japanese army could give him the kind of fair trial he wanted, rather than a vengeful killing that was not justified.

Li Yuanyang was enthusiastic and loyal, and more importantly, he had been to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and he was a poor Hungarian speaker in the independent camp, and his ears were extremely sensitive.

So he heard Angus whispering to himself 'dangerous thoughts', these really dangerous things.

Shi Weicheng glanced at Li Yuanyang very indifferently, and continued to turn his head to look south.

Luanzhou Coal Mine, General Office.

In the battle of the two armies of the Qing Dynasty on the 9th, the people of Luanzhou escaped a catastrophe by their cowardice.

It was not until the Japanese army left on the 10th that the Qing army in Luanzhou dared to go out of the coal mining area and continue to pick up the telegraph line that had been cut by the Japanese army and cut the pole.

Hu Liao, Hannagan, Zhang Yi, and the three of them discussed for a long time, and finally took out a barely passable telegram and sent it to Wang Wenshao, the deputy minister of the Beiyang Office.

"Yesterday, the Japanese army was divided into two routes, one to attack Tang and one to Luan; Tangshan fell, and Luanzhou and Yiyi saw no trace to take advantage of, so they had to hate to follow far away and go towards West Jizhou. ——”

A few days ago, the Military Affairs Office of the Tongzhou Governor repeatedly called and demanded that the 'Dingwu Army' immediately march west to pursue the Japanese army, and at the same time send a battalion of troops to the direction of Yongping Mansion to check.

The Qing army in Luanzhou had already been bombed into ruins by the heavy artillery of the Japanese army, and the corpses of tens of thousands of Qing soldiers who died tragically in it.

The Qing army in Luanzhou sent a large number of soldiers to clean up the corpses of Tangshan City, loaded them into trucks and transported them to Jinmen in batches, and at the same time telegraphed to the imperial court soldiers to be sent to participate in the matter, and it would take several days to delay the departure.

As for a few days later, who knows where the soldiers have gone?

Even if the troops were sent to 'chase' at that time, the gods did not pee, each had its own way, and the more he 'chased', the farther he went.

However, yesterday, Wang Wenshao, the deputy minister of Beiyang, called to inform him that the imperial court's peace mission had taken a ship to the East.

And the general of the Japanese also rushed to Jinmen from Weihaiwei, and had already rushed to Tongzhou, to relieve the military power of the friend who killed Shenshan County, and then the Japanese army retreated to Ninghe.

Wang Wenshao carefully exhorted in the telegram that the army must be optimistic about the golden rooster that lays golden eggs in the coal mine, and must not make any mistakes.

With the instructions from above, everyone was determined and no longer cared about Tangshan's corpse.

- This is all a matter of the imperial court, why do you have to do it yourself for nothing, who is patient to clean up these corpses without money? As the so-called emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, it is reasonable to go all over the Qing Dynasty!
