Chapter 747: The Sheep Has Sharp Horns
Li Hongzhang didn't think about it further, after all, he was just a 'pasteur maker' in the Qing Dynasty.
And the 'paste' to the present, the more 'pasty' this broken house in the Qing Dynasty becomes, not to mention, he has become a thorn in the eye of the emperor, a thorn in the flesh.
An old bastard!
Why do you bother?
Li Hongzhang's face couldn't help but become a little gloomy, and he walked into the military hospital of the anti-Japanese army station in the lights.
In the center of the large courtyard stood two wooden poles, one of which was lit by an electric lamp, which gave off a faint light.
Brick houses are lined up horizontally and vertically all around.
The walls are painted with white lime powder, and the pink walls are tiled, which looks very pleasing to the eye.
On the doors of each house, signs are hung, and light and laughter are heard through thick curtains.
The courtyard is paved with all green bricks, the ground is clean and tidy, and at the base of the white wall, there are saplings planted.
"There are fifteen wounded in one room, all of whom are the same people, regardless of their official positions; General Wu is in room 051, and Vice General Liang Yongyi and Vice General Fan Wenli are in room 011. β
Xiong Kaiyu briefly said that among the wounded in the military hospital, the three people with the highest official positions.
It is the sycamore that knows the autumn in the world, looking at the clean yard and listening to the laughter coming from the rooms, Li Hongzhang has a number in his heart.
So he left the military hospital directly under the incomprehensible gaze of Xiong Kaiyu and the others.
For the current Li Hongzhang, he no longer needs to use fake visits and condolences to buy people's hearts.
He just wanted to take a look at this Dagu military station.
ββThe place where the sergeants of the Anti-Japanese Army began their journey.
Some things, although they are only a glimpse of the leopard, can also find clues to the extraordinary grandeur if you look closely.
After that, Li Hongzhang went to Beishan Fort again.
This newly built battery built in the northernmost part of the military station, east of the military hospital, was equipped with 9 75mm caliber Krupp guns.
And on the edge of the northernmost mountaintop, a 1.4-meter-high shooting wall was built, and there were large shooting holes with large bowls on the wall.
And the shooting wall stretches eastward, down the hill to the beach, and finally into the water.
Li Hongzhang stood on the top of the mountain and looked at it for a while, and then without saying anything, he took his eldest son Li Jingfang and left the Dagu Military Station of the Anti-Japanese Army.
"Director, what do you mean by this old man, he turned around and left without saying a word?"
Liu Gangyi and Xiong Kaiyu sent Li Hongzhang out of the military station, and Liu Gangyi was confused: "This old man is too unkind, his son wants to rest here for a night, but he is not allowed?" β
"Zhongtang is drawing a line with us; When Chen Shijie built the military station before, I objected to the construction of this kind of bulletproof wall on the city wall and on the north mountain, which ,ββwas too eye-catching. β
Xiong Kaiyu's eyes lit up and said, "But I understand now that he is right; If the wolf does not eat the sheep one day, it is not because the sheep obeys the wolf, but because the sheep has sharp horns on its head. You can't blame the sheep for fear of the wolf, 'Why do you have horns on your head, do you want to threaten me?' The sheep did not grow horns to defend their rights and their lives. β
"What wolf, what do you mean, Director?"
Liu Gangyi listened with a confused face.
"Don't care what you mean, the strength of our current Dagu military station is too weak, starting tomorrow, your sentry will pull all the bronze cannons of all the forts into the Dagu military station, except for the stone crack fort; Abandon all small turrets for the time being. β
As soon as Xiong Kaiyu gave the order, Liu Gangyi's face immediately became bitter.
Those small cannons are easy to say, but those seven or eight thousand pound big guys can really tire people to death!
At noon on March 3 in the Western calendar, the British warship Cardinal, the German merchant ship Gongyi, and the Liyu sailed to Dagu Wharf.
Seeing that the thin ice on the dock had not been broken, the Cardinal increased its horsepower and directly used its hull to break the thin ice on the sea surface of the dock and open a channel.
Immediately, the Righteous and the Liyu docked.
At five o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the Qing Peace Mission boarded two merchant ships.
De Xuanlin wore a crane supplement uniform with a large Qing head and a warm hat with ruby beads, and boarded the Liyu number, and walked proudly.
"Whew-"
Li Hongzhang, Li Jingfang, Ma Jianzhong, and Luo Fenglu stood on the side of the ship, watching the merchant ship gradually sail away from the dock and head towards the east.
What kind of humiliation will it encounter when it goes to the East, and what kind of huge armistice conditions will the East offer?
After signing the treaty and returning to China, how will the people of the world curse?
If the negotiation fails, and the Japanese soldiers attack the Beijing Division, what will happen?
At this time, several people on the ship were all worried, and they were suffering from gains and losses in anxiety.
On the morning of March 4, the 2nd Regiment of the Jinmen Brigade arrived at the Jinmen Guard, but did not enter the city, but went around the city.
Continue westward.
At noon, the troops crossed the Xinkai River from the Hongshunli Stone Bridge, rested in the west of the river, and lit a fire to cook.
Li Bohu led the units of the Jinmen Brigade and Brigade Headquarters to arrive at the convergence, leaving only the Wei Jiaxun Department of the 3rd Infantry Regiment in Jinmen, and guarding the Jinmen City Defense Battalion together with the Jinmen City Defense Battalion.
After the team converged, it continued to march northwest at two o'clock in the afternoon, and arrived at the Machang barracks ten miles northwest of Beicang Town, at the confluence of the Yongding River and the North Canal.
This place is less than 100 miles away from Langfang.
The headquarters of the Jinmen Brigade, the 2nd Infantry Regiment, and the Artillery Battalion were immediately stationed in the Machang Battalion.
However, a large amount of military funds from Dagu to the west with the army crossed the Yongding River and camped in Shuangjie Village Post Road.
Shanhaiguan.
While the anti-Japanese army units in the Jinjing area were nervously making pre-war preparations, the independent battalion of the Liaodong Brigade swept away more than a dozen mountain bandits in the Shanhaiguan area in one fell swoop after three days of thunderous sweeping.
No matter in the film and television dramas of later generations, no matter how powerful the Northeast is boasted, it is actually just a group of rabble with Tutong shotguns and are vulnerable.
Compared with the regular army, it is a bunch of scum.
Often, after the detachment of the independent battalion surrounded a small hill and forest slope, one charge, all the bandits either desperately fled, or cried for their father and mother, knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy.
The independent battalion stabbed them to death with bayonets after only a little interrogation.
In addition to meat tickets, women, toddlers and children who were taken captive up the mountain; What 'Zhen Sanjiang', 'Double Dart Horse Lao Wu', 'Flying on the Ice', 'Liu Er Dare', these extremely sinful beasts.
All of them became the ghosts of the knives of the independent battalion.
Then they were thrown into thatched huts covered with straw and burned away with a fire to consume their heinous sins.
In just three days, more than 300 bandits were killed by the independent battalion, and the independent battalion only killed 9 people, which shows the huge disparity in combat strength between the two sides.
At this time, the independent battalion stayed overnight by the Jiujiang River, and the battalion commander Wu Junma was depressed.
It turned out that when the advance cavalry battalion of the Liaodong Brigade marched to Suizhong County, it was found that the county town that had been plagued by the Japanese 1st Army was now occupied by a group of bandits.
There are only about 30 people in this group of bandits, and the leader of the bandits is known as the 'Northern Batian', and about 30 people kill people and humiliate people in the county seat, and do all kinds of evil.
After the cavalry battalion exterminated this group of bandits, Liu Mingyang gave Wu Junma a warrant and equipped him with an infantry company, starting from Shanhaiguan, to annihilate the Liaodong bandits with war.
"The Japanese army wants to fight for the country and the people, and the bandits must also be killed, but also for the country and the people; All the bandits will be shot and killed, and they will be killed! β
Looking at the electric order in his hand. Wu Junma shouted with a grumbling face: "It's good to kill bandits for the country and the people, but who can't change me?" At first, I thought I was thinking about grabbing the opportunity of the 4th, 5th, and 6th regiments, but how did I know that this big pit was actually left here! β
