Song Hao also gasped, looking at his partner like a hungry wolf, it was because he knew that Jiang Maosheng was not a person who was afraid of death, and the huge contrast made him unacceptable.

"Song Hao, listen, the captain's order is to let everyone live, if one day we become the captain, facing the same situation, we must also make the same decision, from the captain's point of view, we must follow his orders. Now that we are safe, then, since I am the temporary commander, I order Song Hao to wait here with the first squad and four wounded, and the rest of the people will go back with me to meet the captain. It was the only way I could think of with the least amount of loss and without disobeying orders. Jiang Maosheng's words made everyone realize that Jiang Maosheng had made a long-term plan as early as the top of the mountain, indeed, everyone is not afraid of death, but there is a way to minimize casualties, so use that method.

Song Hao was silent, and Jiang Maosheng led the rest of the people to rush to the coming side, hoping that the captain would persevere!

Just like the ending of the popcorn movie, everyone is happy is the most flattering way, Jiang Maosheng and others picked up the captain Lu Zong who slid down under the cliff at the top of the mountain.

The battle was basically over, Takasaki was as slippery as a loach, escaping with more than 1,000 soldiers, and the rest were all annihilated by the 2nd and 3rd regiments in hot pursuit, and the Japanese guerrillas in the Fukuoka area were empty, allowing the Chinese army to gain comfort for more than two months.

In this battle, the special combat team suffered five casualties, the third regiment of the main battle suffered 151 casualties, the second regiment suffered 11 casualties, and annihilated 8,970 Japanese guerrillas without taking prisoners.

The first group in Fukuoka fought fiercely, and the combat groups in the rest of the area also encountered the frantic counterattack of the guerrillas, the second squadron was no worse than the first squadron, but they still suffered casualties in the first contact with guerrilla warfare, and one member of the third group was stabbed by a seemingly gentle woman, and a short knife was inserted into the thigh of the member. caused the rupture of the major artery, and if it were not for the timely rescue of the rest of the team members and the return to the field hospital, the life of the team member would not be guaranteed.

Knowing what all-people combat is and what the enemy is everywhere, the 2nd Squadron adjusts its tactics accordingly. The team members are required not to give up their vigilance at every moment, and they must also pay attention to the precautions of unarmed civilians.

In the following half a month, the special combat team made 80 sorties, and there were combat missions almost every day, which made the team members tired and achieved great results.

The first group eliminated 11 guerrillas and 573 enemy troops, with no casualties of its own, and their actions reduced the guerrilla activities in the Fukuoka area by half. As a result, the civilians of Fukuoka who did not care about life and death began to have the fear of death, and the number of people who actively joined the guerrillas decreased significantly.

The second group eliminated seventeen guerrillas, but most of them were small-scale guerrillas, no more than a hundred people, mainly because the guerrillas in the Saga area were mostly family-based, and many were even ninja families, and they caused much more trouble to the special combat team, and these ninjas played stealth, sneak attack, and infiltration more than the special combat team. If it were not for the absolute superiority of weapons, the second group would have suffered a great loss. But two members of the team died. Four people were injured. With the support of the Army, the enraged second team swept away the ninja clans in the Saga area, and the Saga ninja that had been passed down for hundreds of years became history.

The third and fourth groups were under much less pressure, eliminating a total of twenty-one guerrillas and four hundred and thirty enemy troops, and suppressing the activities of the guerrillas in Kumamoto, Miyazaki, Oita and other places to a minimum.

Of course, the clean-up campaign will not end anytime soon. The 1st Squadron will return to Kagoshima to recuperate, and the 3rd Squadron will continue to fight in place of the 2nd Squadron. The sound of gunfire on the island of Kyushu will still be heard attacking the convoy, and the resistance will not stop until the Chinese army withdraws from here. After all, the Chinese army is the aggressor. This term once made Lu Liang snicker for a long time, and the day of being an aggressor has finally arrived!

San Francisco, USA, the high-rise buildings show that this city on the west coast of the United States has become one of the largest cities in the United States, and the west coast is no longer a wild place, before the rise of the San Francisco consortium, although it was also relatively prosperous, it was still like a backward township compared with the developed industrial, commercial and financial cities in the east.

However, the San Francisco consortium has made a qualitative change on the West Coast, especially in San Francisco and Los Angeles, due to the existence of Ambrera Automobile Company, the first automobile company in the United States, which has led to the rise of a large number of industries, and even many medium-sized iron and steel enterprises, machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding and other heavy industry enterprises have appeared in these two cities, you must know that there are no large-scale mineral deposits comparable to the central and eastern regions on the West Coast, and a large number of minerals have to be transported from the Middle East.

However, all this is justified by the presence of Ambrera cars, and the output of the cars is enough to wipe out the cost of transportation. In the era of the rise of Ambrera Automobile Company, there was no decent automobile company on the American continent and even in the world, and the first Ford Model A in history was born in 1903, but this year Ambrera Company has released the first best-selling model to the United States - Model T. General Motors was founded in 1908, and Chrysley was not established until 1924, when Ambrera was the first automobile company in the Americas, which opened the world's automobile era, and the profits brought by the new industry made the whole United States crazy.

Major conglomerates have tried to get involved, the electric revolution and the internal combustion engine revolution have made the United States sit on the reputation of nouveau riche, and super conglomerates have emerged in steel, petroleum, chemical and other industries, and Rockefeller and Morgan share the power of the United States. But even though the United States has become the world's largest industrial country, the emergence of automobiles as a means of transportation can still be called revolutionary.

Therefore, in the face of fierce and hungry wolves, Lu Er and others set the starting point of their careers on the West Coast, a place that the consortium disdained, a place with beautiful beaches, a pleasant climate, rich in fruits, and far away from the American continent Prairie, desert, and plateau.

The Pacific Railroad, which has buried countless Chinese bones, opened in 1969, and the strategic railroad from Omaha in the east to Sacramento in the west was not very used until the rise of the San Francisco consortium made the railway extremely busy. Relying on the excellent conditions far away from the east, Lu Er and others opened a large number of factories, with automobile factories as the core, and developed rapidly. Of course, resource support from seabed mining vehicles and the Guangdong market are indispensable, and in the United States, where the level of workers is relatively high, Luliang arranged the construction of an industrial zone, the purpose of which is also to make up for the lack of domestic industrial capacity.

In fact, Lu Er and others completed the task excellently, through the support of Lu Liang, the San Francisco consortium completed the first step of capital accumulation and industrial strength base, and based on this expansion to the central and eastern regions, or with automobiles as a breakthrough, quickly built a large number of factories in the United States, so that the sales of automobiles rose geometrically.

In 1902, there were only about 19,000 cars sold in the United States, by 1903 they had reached 250,000, and by 1904 they had sold a staggering 1 million. The emergence of a variety of models, including cars, 10-wheelers, farm trucks, vans, pickups, etc., has contributed to this craze.

At this time, the San Francisco consortium has initially possessed the strength to compete with the major consortia, and in the face of the consortium's request to participate in the automobile frenzy, Lu Liang knows that the time has come, and taking this opportunity, the United States will become the biggest boost to the rise of China, and they may not be able to perceive what kind of fate their actions will bring to the United States, and even after they perceive it, they will continue to export to China because of huge profits.

About 30 kilometers south of San Francisco, the city of Paraaltu is a beautiful farmstead, beautiful fields, meadows, pastures, vineyards, oak trees, and a quaint castle in the center.

This is the headquarters of the San Francisco consortium, Hongfei Manor, adjacent to Stanford University, which covers an area about twice the size of Stanford University.

On the evening of August 1, 1905, the most high-end cars drove into the Hongfei Manor, and then stopped in front of the castle in the center of the manor.

The interior and surroundings of the estate were guarded by more than 500 private armed men, including Caucasians, Yellows, Blacks, Mestizos, Americans, British, Germans, Poles, Africans, Asians, etc., which fully reflected the characteristics of the immigrant countries. However, these people are all strong, armed with rifles or submachine guns, with serious faces, and some are patrolling around with wolf dogs, they are all private armed forces hired by the San Francisco consortium, private armed forces with the legal right to bear arms, in fact, the United States is the private country of these people in the manor!

The power of these conglomerates is not reflected in the private armed forces that are eyeing each other, nor in the size of the estates they own, but in the immense wealth they have, and the social and political networks they weave with their wealth, they can easily influence a presidential election, they can fill the parliament with politicians who speak for them, and they can start a war to get the benefits they want. (To be continued.) )

PS: When chatting in college, they always blame all the darkness of US imperialism on the "consortium", just like the system is behind the cauldron.
