Shimada Koichi is an outstanding graduate of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School this year, and he is very glad that he graduated in such a timely manner, and even more glad that he was able to be transferred to the 18th Division of the Army to participate in this sacred war that was destined for the Japanese Empire to seize hegemony in Asia.

Koichi Shimada leaned half out of the window, enjoying the strong wind blowing in his face, looking at the endless wilderness in the distance and the green jungle bushes that were constantly retreating due to the rushing train.

O continent, this is the beautiful and vast continent!

How can the incompetent Shina be qualified to have such a beautiful continent, she must be from our Great Japanese Empire!

"Capture Shandong, split China! Great Japanese Empire onboard! His Majesty the Emperor onboard! ”

Koichi Shimada shouted excitedly.

"Capture Shandong and split China!"

"The Great Japanese Empire is onboard! His Majesty the Emperor onboard! ”

The rest of the Japanese soldiers on the train followed closely behind Koichi Shimada, raising their hands and shouting excitedly.

Just as the Japanese soldiers on the train were cheering and shouting, something happened suddenly!

Rumble!

A violent explosion sounded, and the track in front of the train was blown up instantly, and the conductor immediately pulled the brake and stopped.

呲――呲――

Because of the sudden braking, the friction between the train wheels and the rails produces bursts of sparks.

Although the conductor pulled the brake and stopped at the first time, it was too late after all, and the huge inertia carried the train to the blown up tracks.

Bang -

The entire train derailed and overturned, and the Japanese soldiers in the carriage suddenly turned on their backs, and in a short moment, I don't know how many people were killed or wounded.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Shimada Koichi climbed out of the overturned car and coughed because his breath tingled the injured part of his body.

"Enemy attack, fight, immediately rise up and fight!"

After getting out of danger, Shimada Koichi immediately tried to organize his soldiers to resist and counterattack a possible enemy attack in accordance with the provisions of the battle outline in the infantry drill code.

"Get up, get up!" Shimada struggled to drag the Japanese soldiers out of the carriage while shouting. "The enemy will ...... quickly"

Shimada Koichi's words came to an abrupt end, and the whole person was completely stunned, looking at the distance of the wilderness with a frightened face, and there was no longer the slightest idea of organizing soldiers to fight in his heart. There was nothing but fear in my mind.

I saw that in the distance, where heaven and earth meet, countless people were surging, and a large area of black pressure was like a dense swarm of locusts.

The black clouds crushed the city and wanted to destroy it, and a suffocating sense of oppression came to the face.

The blood on Yuki Shimada's face faded instantly. I felt my throat dry, and I involuntarily took a few steps back.

On a hillside in the distance, Wang Mo held up his glasses to observe the Japanese troops surrounded by groups. Of only 400 Japanese soldiers, he mobilized two divisions and a full 20,000 people to surround them, which was simply to use artillery to fight mosquitoes, and these Japanese soldiers died vigorously.

"Send the order, send these Japanese soldiers back to their hometowns, and then let the train be reset, and the whole army will immediately take the train to the east and capture Jiaoxian as quickly as possible!" Wang Mo ordered.

"Yes!" The herald answered the order. He then turned around and left, conveying Wang Mo's orders to the troops.

As Wang Mo's order was issued, the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance army swarmed up, drowning the Japanese soldiers who were already too frightened to know how to react like a tide.

"Commander, I heard that the Japanese are uniting with the English foreigners this time, will we fight them so hard, will it prompt the English foreigners to declare war on us?" Li Jian reminded Wang Mo with some concern.

Today's Li Jian is no longer the peasant kid who didn't understand anything at the beginning, but it is precisely because he knows the world situation and understands what kind of powerful alliance the Entente means that he is worried and worried.

"To declare war is to declare war. So what? Wang Mo sneered disdainfully, "After the outbreak of the European War, do you think that the English foreigners still have the ability to say everything in the Far East?" ”

The outbreak of war in Europe not only loosened the golden hoops on the heads of the Japanese, but also removed the great powers surrounding China. Wang Mo has no scruples since then.

If the general trend of the world does not change, Europe will have to fight until at least 1918. Even after the end of the European war, the European countries will inevitably be exhausted. Therefore, Wang Mo was not at all worried about going to war with the so-called Entente alliance.

As a descendant, Wang Mo could see this clearly, but Li Jian couldn't foresee this, so the worry on his face did not decrease by half a point. Still trying to persuade Wang Modao: "But, the commander ......"

However, before Li Jian's words of persuasion could be spoken, he was interrupted by Wang Mo: "Needless to say, do you want me to think that the Beiyang government, like the Southern People's Party, will watch the foreigners fight in our territory to carve up and annex our territory, but only know how to hide and swallow their anger?" ”

"No, of course not!" Li Jian said categorically.

"Weak countries have no position to speak, and the English and Japanese do not care at all what our China thinks, and do not respect our China's sovereignty and interests in the slightest. Now—" Wang Mo snapped, "Lao Tzu is going to tell them that they are wrong, very wrong!" If the Chinese people are not dead, China's territorial sovereignty will not be violated! ”

At this moment, Li Jian seemed to have found his life's mission and duty, and shouted with an oath: "Yes, if the Chinese people are not killed, China's territorial sovereignty will not be violated!" ”

……

Just when Wang Mo led the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army eastward into Jiaoxian, the news of the Japanese army's brutal occupation of the Jiaoji Railway reached Beijing, and many officials of the central government were furious about this, and they scolded the unscrupulous Japanese on the spot.

Lu Zhengxiang, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, immediately approached the Japanese Consulate and angrily protested to the Japanese Minister Iji Hikoyoshi: "Your Excellency, my country expresses the strongest protest against the unreasonable act of your ** team forcibly occupying the Jiaoji Railway!" ”

Iji Yanji glanced at Lu Zhengxiang with contempt and replied perfunctorily: "The use of the Jiaoji Railway to transport strategic materials is to ensure the logistics of the Allied Coalition Forces' combat operations, and I am very sorry and sorry if it causes trouble and trouble to your country. ”

Lu Zhengxiang's face turned blue with anger, and he reprimanded angrily: "Your Excellency, I have to remind you that there was an agreement between China and Japan before the war. As a neutral country, China is not responsible for the actions of all belligerents in Longkou, Laizhou and near Jiaozhou Bay. Why did your country go back on its word and brazenly send troops to capture Weixian Station? ”

Iji Hikoyoshi was completely dismissive of Lu Zhengxiang's rebuke and anger, in his opinion, the Great Japanese Empire had the Allied allies behind it, not to mention the invasion and occupation of the Jiaoji Railway, that is, the fact that it occupied the entire Shandong, and the Chinese government could not help the Great Japanese Empire at all.

"I still say that borrowing the Jiaoji Railway is a military operation of the Entente. If Your Excellency has any doubts or dissatisfaction with this, you can do so with the representatives of the Entente Powers in Beijing to inquire and protest. Ijihikichi said with sarcasm in his tone, he liked to push everything on the Entente allies, and then admire the angry and anxious but helpless look of the Chinese people.

"You ......"

The three words "Entente" really blocked all Lu Zhengxiang's words, and he knew very well that President Yuan Da did not dare to provoke the Allied allies at all, and no matter how angry and aggrieved he was, he could only swallow his anger.

Just as Lu Zhengxiang was about to say goodbye, Ijihikichi's adjutant Toyoda Masago hurriedly walked over and said something in Ijihiki's ear.

Iji Hikoji's face suddenly changed drastically, and he angrily reprimanded Lu Zhengxiang: "Your Excellency, you dare to send an army to attack the Imperial Japanese Army, this is an act of war!" Is China going to declare war on the Empire of Japan and the Allied Allies? ”

Lu Zhengxiang was taken aback at first, and then retorted without backing down: "There is absolutely no military action against your ** team in my country at present!" Your Excellency, I don't know where or who did the attack you said about your ** team took place. If you have to think that it is my ** team, then please come up with definite evidence, otherwise it is slander! ”

Iji Hikoyoshi stared at Lu Zhengxiang viciously, and said coldly: "Just three hours ago, 400 people of the Railway Wing of the Imperial Japanese Army were ambushed on the Jiaoji Railway, and all of them were shattered. Your Excellency, you'd better pray that this is really not the work of your ** team, otherwise this will be tantamount to declaring war on our Empire of Japan and the Allied Alliance! ”

"My country will investigate this matter clearly, give your country an explanation, and leave!" After Lu Zhengxiang finished speaking, he left the Japanese consulate in a hurry, and then rushed to the presidential palace to report to Yuan Shikai about the major incident of the Japanese army being ambushed.

The emergence of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army and its intervention in the Qingdao War completely disrupted the entire course of the war and changed the originally one-sided war situation.

At the time when the situation in Shandong was suddenly changing, Hubei in the south was also surging, and the Kuomintang had no way to plot against the Hubei army, so it used the official hat of the Hubei military government to lure and lure a large number of party thugs to launch a coup d'état.

On this day, a large number of party thugs suddenly poured out on the streets of Wuchang, including some former Hubei Army officers and Hubei Army soldiers who had been dismissed because of bad habits such as smoking big cigarettes.

"Fight the monopoly and rebuild the republic!"

Huidang thugs and former Hubei officers and soldiers shouted slogans and headed straight for the Hubei provincial government with weapons in hand.

To the surprise of Wu Dezhen, the former commander of the Second Mixed Brigade of the Hubei Army, the leading officer of these people, the expected blocking and suppression did not appear, let alone the Sichuan Army and the Hubei Army, even the police didn't seem to see half of them, and the situation was a little weird.

Shaking his head, Wu Dezhen forced himself to throw out the ominous premonition in his mind, and led these thousands of people to the provincial government.

Wu Dezhen successfully captured the Hubei Provincial Government, telegraph stations and other important departments and strongholds in Wuchang City, and controlled many Hubei Provincial Government officials, including Li Yuanhong.

Soon, Wu Dezhen telegraphed in the name of the Hubei Provincial Government to announce that he would join the Autonomous Government of the Southern United Province and invite the Jiangxi Army to enter Hubei to assist in the defense against the Beiyang Army.

Subsequently, Li Liejun immediately led the Jiangxi Army to Hubei.

As soon as this news spread, the whole country suddenly shook, and the situation changed abruptly! (To be continued.) )
