Chapter 627: Flee without a fight
Ye Shaolong had not yet received a reply from Mr. Sun, so he had already begun to prepare for the expedition. This was the first expedition of the Yejiazhuang army, and it was also the first time to take the initiative to attack.
Ye Shaolong no longer wants to defend so passively, offense is the best defense, this is not just a joke, there is still a reason for him.
Only by showing the majesty of Yejiazhuang's army can we deter those who covet Xiangjiang. If only it were as low-key as it used to be. Ye Shaolong believes that there will be more people coming to make trouble in the future, instead of worrying that there will be trouble every day, it is better to take the initiative and give these greedy people a big warning.
It took two full days to clean up the battlefield, and after countless washes, the dock was still filled with a strong smell of blood, and it was estimated that it would not be able to dilute the smell in less than a month.
Mr. Sun quickly responded to Ye Shaolong, and he was willing to cooperate with Ye Shaolong to eradicate the entrenched Japanese army in the provincial capital. After all, the provincial capital is one of the important ports in the whole south, and only with the south can the north be more stable and prosperous.
As soon as the widows were removed, Mr. Sun was also asked to remove a thorn in his heart, which was something he couldn't ask for. And Ye Shaolong couldn't let a group of wolves lie beside him and come to trouble him from time to time.
The two hit it off, and Ye Shaolong had no intention of having the right to rule the provincial capital, he only needed one Xiangjiang to be enough.
The two then agreed to launch an attack on the provincial capital in ten days.
Peter, who was still hiding in Luzon, was very happy when he learned about the battle in Xiangjiang. After all, the end result was as he wanted. The Yejiazhuang army and the Japanese are really defeated, and now he is only waiting for the instructions given to him by the empire, or directly sending a large army to recover Xiangjiang.
However, the result of his waiting was unimaginable, and he was ordered to wait and not act rashly.
Such an order was not at all in Peter's mind, and he could not understand why such an order could be sent in the country.
But that's the case, he can only bear it, and he doesn't dare to disobey it. And now he wants to disobey and there is no way, he just wants to go back to China, and he can't make decisions without the order of the boss of the consortium behind him.
Peter was in a dilemma, and he was helpless, at this moment he really regretted tearing his face to Ye Shaolong too quickly. If he didn't turn his face with Ye Shaolong, he could still sit in his manor at this moment and enjoy everything he could enjoy.
It will be like a rat like it is now, hiding in this harsh environment and not daring to go outside to meet people.
Su Can has recently been in charge of co-opting the people who were enslaved by the Japanese Invaders, most of whom are young and strong, and they can become Yejiazhuang soldiers after training.
This is also one of the few benefits of Yejiazhuang's war, except for these people, only those warships remain. But no amount of anything could buy back the lives of brothers killed in battle.
Time passed quietly, and in just ten days, the whole army of Yejiazhuang Army had assembled from the dock, and the 100,000 troops who were ready to go on the expedition had boarded the ship one after another.
Ye Shaolong came to the dock in person to see off the army that was about to go out. The generals who went on this expedition were Su Can, Huang Qiying, Chen Tiezhi, Lin Biao, and Wang Dashan.
The five men were responsible for the 100,000 army and rushed to the provincial capital to wipe out all the Japanese army and drive this tumor out of the provincial capital.
"The five of you have a long way to go, don't be careless, 100,000 troops will be handed over to you, if you dare to cause more than half of Lao Tzu's casualties, you won't be able to get around when you come back."
Ye Shaolong's ugly words were ahead, he didn't want to face the blow of more than half of the casualties last time, so it would be enough to have only one thing.
The five of them patted their chests one after another and promised that they would never let the soldiers of the army sacrifice on unnecessary mistakes.
Then the army set sail, the battleship let out a burst of whistles, and dozens of battleships slowly left the dock, sailed into the vast sea, and disappeared from the sight of Ye Shaolong and others.
In the north of the mainland, Mr. Sun's Beiyang Army was also divided into two routes, one with a navy and one army to the provincial capital. The Beiyang Army almost poured out, with a full 300,000 troops on the march, which shows that Mr. Sun also sincerely wanted to take back the provincial capital.
Such a large-scale action by the Xiangjiang and Beiyang regimes was naturally quickly known by the Japanese army in the provincial capital, and in the face of the overwhelming army, the Japanese army was really anxious this time.
The Wa State did not dare to send troops to come, perhaps it should be said that there were no more soldiers to send, after all, the Wa State itself still needed a large army to guard. And the Japanese army in the provincial capital was told that they must kill the provincial capital.
With only 20,000 men, how could they hold on to the arrival of an army of 400,000. The Japanese have always been the most powerful robbers at sea, and when it comes to defending the city, they are far from enough.
The cold-hearted Japanese generals gritted their teeth and did not want to wait for death in the provincial capital, so they ordered the whole army to go to sea by boat. The country will not go back, so they will go back to their old ways at sea and become pirates.
However, the Yejiazhuang army and the Beiyang army did not give them a chance at all, and when they were about to go to sea by boat, the navies of the two armies had already arrived, and finally the two sides fought directly at the dock of the provincial capital.
There was no doubt that the 20,000-strong Japanese army was quickly wiped out without causing any damage to the two armies. This large-scale dispatch of troops to the provincial capital can be described as killing chickens with a knife, and it is a big fuss.
The Yejiazhuang army assisted the Beiyang Army in controlling the provincial capital, and then took resign and returned to Xiangjiang, so far, the Japanese Kou's strength in the Qing Dynasty was almost zero.
After Mr. Sun learned that the provincial capital had been easily taken, he enthusiastically invited Ye Shaolong to help his Beiyang Army take back Fujian, which had been divided and ruled by several other countries, by virtue of the power of victory.
However, this time Ye Shaolong simply refused, he could spare no effort to fight the Japanese invaders, but it was not the time to deal with other countries.
Mr. Sun still did not give up, he sent telegrams many times to persuade Ye Shaolong, but he was rejected one by one, and finally had no choice but to give up first.
The Yejiazhuang army on this expedition had almost zero casualties, Ye Shaolong had nothing to say, and praised the generals of Wuwei for the expedition.
As soon as the Japanese in the provincial capital were removed, Ye Shaolong was in a happy mood, and the haze of more than half of the soldiers killed and wounded after the war a few days ago finally dissipated.
got rid of the thorny wolf, Ye Shaolong can finally sleep peacefully, and now only Peter is left, and the British Empire that originally occupied Xiangjiang is left.
These days have passed, and there is still calm over there, which makes Ye Shaolong really unable to grasp it, and he doesn't know how the British Empire will deal with the problem of Xiangjiang.
Although Ye Shaolong was worried in his heart, there was only one British Empire left, and it could no longer threaten the safety of Xiangjiang. He can rest assured that he will develop a strong army, and slowly wait for the reaction of the British Empire.
