At this time, Zhang Dafu was a little restless, the reinforcements had been gone for nearly an hour and a half, but there was still no news. With Lieutenant Ishikawa and his infantry squad there, it shouldn't be a problem to clean up a few bandits. But the cautious Zhang Dafu is still very worried, after all, this group of bandits appeared too suddenly, and they have to be guarded against!

"Zhang Lian, where did you die? Any news? Zhang Dafu yelled outside the door.

Zhang Lian, the second housekeeper of the Zhang family, hurriedly ran in and said breathlessly: "Master, I just led my brothers to check outside the town, and the gunfire in the west seems to have stopped a long time ago, and there should be news soon." ”

"Stopped? Why did the war stop just now, didn't you hear it wrong? Zhang Dafu asked suspiciously, ten minutes ago, his subordinates came in to report, saying that they heard a fierce exchange of fire in the direction of Shilijing Village in the west, it should be that Ishikawa Taijun and the group of bandits exchanged fire. But now Zhang Lian told him that the battle was over, and it seemed that the two sides had exchanged fire for only three to five minutes, which was really confusing.

"Master, I, Zhang Lian, have been with my master for 20 years, don't you know my loyal master? Rest assured! We heard it right, it should be that those bandits are too bad, and our strength is too strong, so we were all wiped out in a few minutes without a few minutes of firefighting. Zhang Lian's imagination is still very good, but in his eyes, Zhang Qiuzhen's three or four hundred people dispatched this time are indeed very strong, especially the invincible Ishikawa Taijun in his heart.

Zhang Dafu thought about it, and what Zhang Lian said was very reasonable. As Zhang Lian said, it should be that the bandits' strength was too poor, so they were eliminated early. You must know that Zhang Qiuzhen can be said to be elite this time, plus the more than 100 people that Zhang Qing took away before, Zhang Qiuzhen dispatched a total of 423 people this time. Even if the bandits are strong, it is impossible to wipe out such a "huge" force in such a short period of time, not to mention that there is a complete infantry squad in it.

Thinking of this, Zhang Dafu suddenly felt a lot more relieved, he is a typical guy who has betrayed the country and sold his ancestors and done all the bad things, so his life is more important than anything else. At that time, when Mr. Zhang was persecuted by Mr. Zhang, in order to save his life, he began to contact Mr. Yue, and persuaded Mr. Zhang many times to agree to Mr. Zhang's request. But they were all scolded back by Mr. Zhang, saying that in order to humiliate Mr. Zhang, he finally appointed Zhang Dafu as the president of Zhang Qiuzhen's maintenance association, and he himself did not refuse. When Mr. Zhang heard the news, he was immediately bedridden and died of depression half a month later.

Liaocheng as the forefront of Shandong's resistance, there has never been a shortage of fighters, a large number of young and middle-aged people have participated in the army, including the regular army that participated in the national political axe and the Eighth Route Army, and Zhang Qiuzhen has more than 60 military families. In order to curry favor with him, Zhang Dafu led his subordinates to escort all the military dependents of more than 280 people, regardless of men, women, and children, to the county seat of Yanggu County. Half a month later, more than 280 people were collectively slaughtered in the county seat of Yanggu County, and the corpses were hung on the city gate for more than ten days before being thrown out.

After that, Zhang Dafu became famous overnight, but because his role was far inferior to that of Old Man Zhang, let alone the president of the maintenance association in Liaocheng, even the president of the maintenance association in Yanggu County did not give it to him, but only gave him a so-called deputy county magistrate and chairman of the maintenance association of Zhang Qiuzhen. At the same time, in order to appease him, he was also given a number of the plainclothes team and some weapons.

Although Zhang Dafu at this time already knew that he had fallen into the trap of Yue himself and was used by Yu himself in vain, but at this time he was already difficult to ride a tiger. After doing so many unconscionable things, there is no turning back, so he can only die for himself. However, Zhang Dafu is still very smart and knows what is the most fundamental thing to survive in troubled times. Therefore, he did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to buy arms everywhere, whether it was long and short guns, light and heavy machine guns, or even mortars and grenadiers, as long as someone sold them, he would buy them. In just one year, Zhang Dafu's troops have expanded to more than 500 people, and they are fully equipped and have combat effectiveness.

With this force, Zhang Dafu can be regarded as really relieved, at this time, there is no formed middle [***] team in Shandong, and the remaining fish that have slipped through the net are really not his opponents Zhang Dafu. Therefore, Zhang Dafu's reputation can be said to be unique for a while, and even several big men in Yanggu County sent people to deliberately make friends with him, a "rising star".

Although he has not yet officially given him a position to go out, An Pei Shaozuo, the chief of the Yanggu County Garrison Brigade, has officially decided to expand Zhang Dafu's unit into the Reading Force of the Imperial Cooperative Army. Zhang Dafu served as the commander of this reading regiment, and for this reason, Amperey Shaozo even sent people to send 200 formal rifles, four Czech light machine guns and two small steel cannons. Of course, Zhang Qing also carried a cashier's check from Citibank in his arms, with an amount of 10,000 oceans, which Zhang Dafu specially gave to An Pei Shaozuo.

Hearing that the transport convoy had been robbed by bandits, Zhang Dafu was really taken aback. I was really afraid that this group of bandits who were not long-sighted would ruin his big business, so he implored Lieutenant Ishikawa to lead the troops to support. Although 10,000 oceans is not a lot of money for Zhang Dafu, if it makes Taijun Ampere unhappy, it will not be able to balance 10,000 oceans.

When Zhang Dafu was anxious, the second housekeeper Zhang Lian hurriedly ran in and said, "Master, master, good news, Ishikawa Taijun won the battle and captured fifty or sixty bandits. ”

"What, you see that it's really our people?" Zhang Dafu asked with some excitement.

"You can see clearly, they have reached the entrance of the town, and they are about to enter the turret. I thought that our people were coming back soon, so I said, who has the ability to defeat Ishikawa Taijun. Zhang Lian said flatteringly.

"Zhang Lian, you immediately go to the treasury to send two hundred oceans to Ishikawa, and by the way, buy two fat pigs from the town and send them to the turret, and when you see Ishikawa Taijun, you say that I will visit him immediately. Say to the kitchen again, get the brothers more meat and good wine tonight, and go. After speaking, Zhang Dafu walked into his backyard quickly, changed into a typical squire costume during the Republic of China, took a small and delicate cane, put on a black top hat and walked out.

But as soon as Zhang Dafu left the door of his house, he saw more than 200 strong men in civilian clothes walking towards him. Although he may not know all the more than 500 plainclothes people in the house, he can recognize most of the people who are familiar with them, but he doesn't know any of these people who are coming in front of him, and they look very unfamiliar, but there are still some people in the crowd who he is very familiar with, although they all look embarrassed, but they are indeed people from his Zhangfu, which will not be wrong.

However, Zhang Dafu didn't think about anything else, how could he come back with Lieutenant Ishikawa be pretended by someone else, he didn't think that Lieutenant Ishikawa was also pretended by someone else. Anyway, it's all my own subordinates, so ask what happened today, and talk about the final result of the treatment.

Zhang Dafu walked over with more than a dozen bodyguards to meet this group of "plainclothes teams", and when the two sides were still six or seven meters away, Zhang Dafu suddenly realized that something was wrong. Zhang Dafu clearly remembered that his plainclothes team was equipped with two shell guns, and almost none of them were equipped with spears, although Zhangfu also had a spear team, but this time it did not go out. The reason why Zhang Dafu did not equip many spears was that, on the one hand, the spears suffered a lot in melee combat, and the soldiers needed to have high tactical literacy. Secondly, the spears were too expensive, and there were no good goods, so Zhang Dafu would equip four-fifths of the plainclothes team with shell guns, and only one-fifth were equipped with spears. But Zhang Dafu found that the oncoming plainclothes team had a lot of spears, and Zhang Dafu knew Ishikawa very well, and it was impossible for him to share even a little bit of the captured booty.

"Stop, where is your captain? Liu Sanpao came out to Lao Tzu. Zhang Dafu shouted.

This group of plainclothes teams was dressed up by Wei Peng and others, and Han Yunhua and the guard team changed into devils' military uniforms and killed the devil's turret. And he led the rest of the people to set foot in Zhangfu, but now it seems that someone has discovered the flaw.

Although Wei Peng didn't know the guys in front of him, he knew that the guy who was talking in the middle should have a very high status in the Zhang Mansion. Now that they have seen the flaws, then Wei Peng and the others have nothing to pretend to, I saw Wei Peng pull out the shell gun and raise his hand to shoot, and after shooting the guy who had just shouted in the head, he quickly rushed to the house.

Wei Peng's gunfire was the signal, and all the special combat team members also rushed in. I heard that the battle was won, and the whole Zhang Mansion is now peaceful, and most of the people went to prepare for the celebration banquet in the evening, and there were only a few people standing guard and chatting. In addition, when Wei Peng and the others came in, almost no one resisted and they were all captured.

At the same time, Han Yunhua's side also solved the battle. With more than 60 elite special combat team members, the only remaining 20 or so devils in the devil turret are not yet captured. Han Yunhua and the others almost killed all the way in, starting from the four devils standing guard at the entrance of the turret, all the way to the third floor of the turret, Han Yunhua almost went up to the top to kill the first floor. And all of them used daggers to solve the battle, so until Han Yunhua and others took down the entire turret, no one knew that Zhang Qiuzhen's turret had changed hands.

After taking Zhang Qiuzhen, the first battle of Han Yunhua's troops going south to Shandong was completely over. Han Yunhua knew that the captain of the army in Yanggu County would definitely not give Han Yunhua much time, and from now on, the army would send troops to check here in five hours at most, so Han Yunhua had to withdraw from Zhang Qiuzhen as soon as possible.

Han Yunhua ordered Wei Peng and others to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, especially the huge wealth of Zhang Dafu's family must not fall, this is the first pot of gold for the troops in Shandong. At the same time, Han Yunhua ordered the troops to knock out Guo Jianglong's bandit as soon as possible, so that the people of Zhang Qiuzhen knew that there was such a bandit who fought devils and eliminated Han Annihilation.

Two hours later, Han Yunhua led a convoy of more than a dozen carts and returned to Jingyanggang with more than 300 prisoners. In this battle, Han Yunhua's headquarters dispatched four special combat squads, totaling more than 220 special combat personnel, which lasted three hours to completely annihilate all the puppet troops in Zhangqiu Town, Yanggu County. Among them, 88 people under Lieutenant Ishikawa, the leader of the army, were killed, and one artillery tower was destroyed. Killed 134 puppet soldiers under Zhang Dafu and captured 375 plainclothes people. 73 38 large covers, 2 light machine guns with crooked handles, 1 Type 92 heavy machine gun, 3 grenadiers, 219 medium and formal rifles, 4 Czech light machine guns, 2 Maxim heavy machine guns, 694 shell guns, and 4 mortars were seized. There were more than 46,000 rounds of ammunition and 220 shells. At the same time, 380,000 pieces of the ocean, more than 56,000 yuan of legal tender issued by the national political axe, and a number of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings were seized. In addition, a large amount of grain was also found in Zhang Dafu's warehouse and the warehouse of the military artillery tower, and due to the limited transportation capacity, Han Yunhua used the Zhang family's carriage to load more than 40,000 catties, and then gave all the remaining more than 200,000 catties of grain to the people of Zhang Qiu Town.

Han Yunhua's department was very happy to win the first battle, but the commander of the Yanggu County Garrison Brigade, An Pei Ichiro Shaozuo, was now very angry, and Zhang Qing and the others had already arrived in Yanggu County according to the distance, but until now they still haven't seen anyone. However, Ampeiichiro Shaozo was not worried that Zhang Dafu would dare to deceive him, and Lieutenant Ishikawa had already called Zhang Qing before his convoy left. It's just that Ampei Shaozuo feels that Zhang Qing's ability to do things is too poor, and he can't do such a trivial thing as escorting some money and food, so it seems that he has to remind Zhang Dafu that it is better to use less such people in the future.

However, seeing that it was about to be one o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Qiuzhen's convoy still had no shadow. At this moment, An Pei Shaozuo was in a hurry, grabbed the phone on the table and called Zhang Qiuzhen's turret. Ampei Shaozuo is ready to scold Lieutenant Ishikawa and let him beat Zhang Dafu well, this guy's ability to do things is really poor.

But all the busy tones came from the phone, and at this time, Ampei Shaozuo's heart trembled, and he suddenly had a lot of bad premonitions. Hurriedly shouted loudly to the guards outside the door: "Guards, immediately order the cavalry team to assemble and let them search in the direction of Zhang Qiuzhen." Report immediately in case of emergency, hurry! ”

"Hai"

Half an hour later, the cavalry team of the Yue Army found the bodies of Zhang Qing and others, followed by the bodies of Lieutenant Ishikawa and others. The captain of the cavalry squad did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent back two cavalry to report the news, while he led the cavalry squad to continue the search.

After listening to the reports of the two cavalrymen, An Pei Shaozuo was taken aback, when did such a strong force appear in Yanggu County. The squadron that can wipe out the Ishikawa squad should be at least a complete infantry battalion, plus more than 100 corpses of the Imperial Association army on the scene, so what will be the number of this squadron, I think it should be no less than two battalions.

Two battalions of the Zhina troops appeared in their own defense area, which was okay, and An Pei Shaozuo immediately gathered his troops and went to Zhang Qiu Town. Now that the Ishikawa squad has been shattered, then I think Zhang Qiuzhen has also fallen into the hands of the Zhina, but Zhang Qiuzhen still has an imperial army turret and Zhang Dafu's hundreds of people, it seems that he is not willing to be broken by the Zhina army so quickly, and An Pei Shaozuo still has a trace of luck in his heart at this time.

However, the reality is very cruel, when An Pei Shaozuo led two infantry squadrons to Zhang Qiuzhen, only the ruins of the ground remained. The imperial army turret, which was said to be invincible in the past, can still be seen vaguely now, as for Zhang Qiuzhen's largest mansion, the mansion of the great wealth, it has not been damaged in the slightest, but the things inside have been looted, and there are not even tables, chairs and benches left. It turned out that after Han Yunhua and the others left, the people of Zhang Qiu Town saw that Zhang Dafu had been killed by bandits, so the people in the town all ran to Zhang's house to grab things, as long as they could take everything away, even the beautiful gate of Zhang's mansion was demolished, not to mention those tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans and other bits and pieces.

What made Ampei Shaozuo the most unacceptable was that all the devils in Zhang Qiuzhen were brutally cut off and piled up, while the headless corpses were discarded at will, which was a naked provocation to the Great Emperor. Believing in Buddhism and Amaterasu, he himself believes that death is not terrible, and that dying in battle is the most glorious thing for a samurai. However, they were afraid of dying without a body, especially for fear of separating the head from the body after death, and they thought that in this way, the soul would not be able to return to his hometown and the arms of Amaterasu.

Annoyed and angry, An Pei Shaozuo ordered the soldiers to find a large pile of firewood to cremate all the soldiers killed in the battle, and then collected the ashes and prepared to be transported back to the shrine to be worshiped and worshiped by future generations. As for the bodies of Zhang Dafu and others, they were buried on the spot in a big pit dug at random, and not even a small dirt bag was left.

Now Ampei Shaozo is like an angry bull, desperate to find the murderer who killed Zhang Qiuzhen's defenders. However, this matter is really easy to investigate, and all the residents of Zhang Qiu Town said in unison that the Taijun in the town was killed by a bandit army, and the leader of this bandit force seems to be called "Guo Jianglong" or "Guo Jianglong".

After listening to the report of the intelligence department, Ampei Shaozuo was furious, and said that a reinforced squad of the Imperial Army had been wiped out by a bandit, which would only make the Army lose face. Therefore, An Pei Shaozuo issued a gag order, saying that Zhang Qiuzhen was raided by a large group of guerrillas in China, and the defenders of a reinforced squad suffered heavy losses, but their strength still existed, and an infantry regiment of the Imperial Allied Army was all broken. Ampei Shaozo knew that he would definitely be reprimanded by His Excellency the Brigade Commander for losing a team, and no one would care how many Imperial Allies died. At the same time, Ampei Shaozuo ordered to find the hateful Chinese bandits as soon as possible, and find them out and destroy them all, so as to bring shame to the Snow Emperor Army.
