Chapter 157: Bright Sword (60 votes plus more)
"Yimeng Autonomous Alliance? Even if they are bandits, if they can fight to the death for the country, they are all good men! ”
"Those Qiu Ba in the government are not even as good as bandits, and others have come to their yards to rob and kill, but they don't even dare to scream!"
"Damn, even the bandits know how to safeguard the territorial sovereignty of the country, don't those high-ranking officials of the central government blush?"
"Reprimand, reprimand! If you don't protect the rights and interests of the country, you just want to stop others, is this a blatant betrayal of the country? ”
……
Most of the people throughout the country praised and supported the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance's fight to safeguard the country's territorial sovereignty, and despised and condemned the central government's behavior of bending over foreigners.
For a time, the prestige of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army exploded throughout the country, and even many young students spontaneously went to Shandong to join the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army to fight for the country.
Nanjing, Sun Mansion.
Sun Yat-sen sat in the gazebo in the garden of the Sun Mansion, leisurely sipping tea and reading the newspaper, obviously in a good mood.
This was entirely due to the fact that the Hubei Provincial Government had sent a telegram to join the Autonomous Government of the Southern United Provinces, and Li Liejun had already led two elite divisions of Jiangxi troops into Hubei in a big way. Seeing that Hubei, a strategically important territory, was about to be acquired, and the vital Hanyang Arsenal was within reach, Sun Yat-sen was naturally in a good mood.
At this time, Zhang Jingjiang, who came to Sun Mansion's mansion to report to Sun Yat-sen on the military fund-raising work, walked into the pavilion slowly, and at first glance noticed that Sun Yat-sen was reading the front page of the newspaper about the war in Shandong, so he smiled and said: "Sir is also concerned about this Yimeng Autonomous Alliance?" Although they are bandits, it is really admirable that they can stand up and fight to the death with foreigners in order to safeguard the country's territorial sovereignty. ”
As far as Zhang Jingjiang is concerned, he still admires this group of bandits of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army very much, or rather, he admires anyone who defends the rights and interests of the country at any cost.
Zhang Jingjiang himself was a person with strong patriotic feelings, otherwise he would not have risked his life to support Sun Yat-sen's revolution in order to change the bad situation of China's poverty, weakness and hardship.
However. Sun Yat-sen's face sank, and he said with a little rebuke: "If this angers the Allied Alliance, then our Republic of China will be ruined in an instant." These people are either reckless men who do not measure their own strength and seek their own death. Either they are speculators who seek fame and reputation and have ulterior motives, what is there to admire? ”
Zhang Jingjiang didn't expect Sun Yat-sen to say this at all, and the expression on his face couldn't help but froze, but he didn't plan to argue with Sun Yat-sen, so he bowed his head and said, "Yes." Yes, sir. ”
Zhang Jingjiang is a crucial money bag of the Kuomintang, and Sun Yat-sen has always been tolerant of him, so his face quickly softened, and he asked softly: "Have you raised all the military salaries and materials that Xia Ru (Li Liejun) asked for?" ”
Zhang Jingjiang took out a list from the briefcase in his hand, handed it to Sun Yat-sen, and then said: "Sir, the required military pay and materials have been raised, and they can be sent over at any time, this is a detailed list of materials." ”
Sun Yat-sen took the list of supplies and glanced at it. nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, Jingjiang, you have worked hard, send the supplies to Xia Ru as soon as possible, don't delay his plan to enter Hubei." ”
"I'll do it, sir." Zhang Jingjiang nodded in response.
After Zhang Jingjiang left, Sun Yat-sen picked up the newspaper again, and when he saw the bandits of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army issuing the so-called ultimatum to the British and Japanese coalition forces, he wrinkled, shook his head slightly, and put the newspaper down.
If it is said that the Chinese people appreciate and support the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance. If the governments of the north and south are disgusted and ridiculed, then the Japanese will be angry and contemptuous of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army that dares to show their swords to themselves.
Syllable!
There was a loud sound of slapping the table from the headquarters of the 18th Division in Jimo County, and the person who slapped the table in anger was the Japanese Army General Terauchi Masashi that many people could not imagine.
"Baga, just a bandit in China. It is an unforgivable crime to dare to provoke our Imperial Japanese Army! Terauchi scolded angrily.
Outsiders thought that the Japanese army in charge of the Japanese army in Shandong this time was the Japanese commander Kamio, but in fact, this person was only in contact with the British army as the highest commander on the surface, and the real military power was actually hidden in the 18th Division Terauchi Masatsuki.
The temple is so secretive, naturally in order to implement the plan that has been negotiated with friends in Shan County to cause the embezzlement of Shandong as a fait accompli.
The 18th Division did not land in Qingdao, but went around in a large circle. Landing from Longkou Bay, which is 150 kilometers away from Qingdao, all the way south, successively capturing Huangxian, Yexian, Pingdu and Jimo, this is obviously the handiwork of Zhengyi in the temple.
"Your Excellency, at present, the bandits who call themselves the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army have taken control of the Jiaoji Railway along the route from Weixian to Jiaoxian, and I am afraid that it will hinder the plan we are about to implement." The commander of the 18th Division, Mitsutomi Kamio, looked at the map of Shandong spread out on the table and said.
Terauchi Zhengyi snorted coldly and said sharply: "Then completely exterminate this group of damn bandits, the Jiaoji Railway is very important to our Great Japanese Empire's control of Shandong, and it must be controlled in our hands!" ”
Through the Jiaoji Railway, the Japanese army can radiate and control most of the prosperous land in the entire eastern part of Shandong, which shows the importance of the Jiaoji Railway, which is why Wang Mo controlled the Jiaoji Railway along the Weixian to Jiaoxian as soon as he made a move.
"At present, the main force of this gang of bandits is entrenched in Jiaoxian, but it is a pity that the imperial fleet cannot sail into Jiaozhou Bay and cannot provide naval artillery firepower." If it weren't for the fact that the Germans had laid a large number of mines in Jiaozhou Bay and blocked the shipping lane, it would only take one or two warships to sail into Jiaozhou Bay, and one or two rounds of naval artillery salvos would be enough to completely disperse these bandits.
However, Terauchi Masatoshi was very dissatisfied with Kamio Mitsutomi's thoughts, and rebuked: "Isn't it possible that without the fire support provided by those red deer in the navy, the army would not have fought a war?" If the emperor's ** team can't even exterminate a rabble like the bandits in China, how can they conquer the entire China, and how can they be worthy of His Majesty the Emperor? ”
"Hey!" Kamio Mitsutomi hurriedly stood up and bowed down and said, "Your Excellency General, rest assured, our department will definitely wipe out the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army as quickly as possible and regain control of the Jiaoji Railway!" ”
"No!" Terauchi Masaki suddenly said again, "The goal of the 18th Division is too obvious, and it is easy to attract the attention of our allies. As soon as our allies learn that we have sent troops to seize control of the Jiaoji Railway, they will inevitably perceive our plan to encroach on all of Shandong. ”
It's true that Terauchi Zhengyi is a radical, and his personality is also impatient and hot, but this doesn't mean that he is a stupid Erleng who only knows how to go straight. He can sit in the position of army general, and it is impossible without certain abilities and means.
Kamio Mitsutomi thought for a while and said, "The 24th Brigade has only recently landed from Longkou, Your Excellency General, how about letting Yamada-kun lead the 24th Brigade to exterminate the bandits in Jiaoxian?" ”
Terauchi Masashi finally showed a look of satisfaction, nodded and said, "It's okay, it's just right to transfer the 24th Brigade to exterminate the bandits in China." Although there are nearly 20,000 bandits in China, they must be armed with weapons that are not even as good as the militia, and there is absolutely no problem for a brigade of emperors to deal with them! ”
The 24th Brigade had as many as 5,000 men, and neither Mitsutomi Kamio nor Masaki Terauchi thought that such a large number of troops could not deal with a mere 20,000 bandits.
As a result, Major General Yamada of the 24th Brigade was quickly called over by the herald of the headquarters.
"Yamada-kun, you immediately lead the 24th Brigade to attack Jiaoxian, which is entrenched by the bandits in China." Terauchi Masaki pointed to the location of Jiaoxian on the map to deploy combat missions to Yamada, "Your ministry has two tasks, one is to completely exterminate this damn bandit who dares to oppose the Japanese Empire, and the other is to immediately follow the Jiaoji Line to the west after controlling Jiaoxian, capture Jinan, and then station troops at various stations on the Jiaoji Line to completely control the entire Jiaoji Line!" ”
"Hey!" Yamada bowed down and said, "Your Excellency the General, rest assured, our department will be able to complete the task and contribute to the imperial holy war!" ”
"Yo Xi, with a general like Yamada-kun, it will not be difficult to achieve the grand goal of dividing and annexing China and dominating Asia in our Great Japanese Empire!" Masaki Terauchi looked at Yamada with appreciation.
Subsequently, the 24th Brigade of the Japanese Army began to assemble and prepare for battle, and under the leadership of the brigade commander, Major General Yamada, it quickly approached Jiaoxian County under the control of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army.
Here in Jiaoxian, Wang Mo is not idle.
After taking Jiaoxian and controlling the Jiaoji Railway from Weixian to Jiaoxian, Wang Mo did not launch an attack on the Anglo-Japanese alliance in a hurry, but began to establish a transportation channel from the Yimeng Mountains to Jiaoxian.
In order to ensure the transportation of supplies and the wounded, Wang Mo even gathered a large number of people in the Yimeng mountains. With such painstaking efforts, he mainly wanted to build Jiaoxian into an advance base for attacking the British and Japanese forces.
On the western outskirts of Jiaoxian County, Wang Mo led a large number of officers and guards into an airstrip that had been urgently built using the barracks of the original Jiaoxian garrison.
"Stone, what time is it?" Wang Mo casually asked Chen Shishi beside him.
Chen Shishi raised his hand and looked at the Sandos watch given to him by Wang Mo on his left wrist, and said, "Young Master, it's 10:15 in the morning." ”
Wang Mo looked up at the sky in the west and muttered, "It stands to reason that it should be almost there, right?" ”
"Don't worry, commander, the pilots of the Blue Eagle Flying Group have very good flying skills, and there is nothing wrong with them. Fifteen minutes away from the appointed time, they should arrive on time. Li Jian said.
"The estimated time will always be off, give the order, light the smoke column, and guide the group!" Wang Mo waved his hand and ordered.
Soon, four pillars of smoke rose from the four corners of the airport, striking out against the blue sky.
After another ten minutes, suddenly there was a "buzzing" sound in the sky.
Buzz - Buzz -
As the "humming" sound became louder and louder, small black dots appeared in the sky in the distance to the west, gradually converging into a black cloud, enveloping the airport. (To be continued.) )
