The request of a few big-headed soldiers alarmed the group army headquarters, and the middle- and lower-level officers still had concerns about the Kong family, but the high-level genetic officers who were of the same heart as Lu Liang did not have so many ideas. In Lu Liang's cognition, the original Confucianism has long been changed beyond recognition by the rulers of successive dynasties, just as the original intention of religion was to teach people to be good, and later generations forcibly changed it into a battle code. Modern society does not need a Confucian mansion to demonstrate the importance of Confucianism, that is, a bad landlord who runs rampant in the countryside, and is also the target of revolutionaries.

After getting the order, the three rows of big-headed soldiers stepped forward and knocked on the door, but Shuai Hu was still a little angry, Shuai Hu, who had received Confucian education since childhood, could not have imagined that one day he would hit the door of his grandfather. The traditional literati's admiration for Confucianism is a kind of faith, but unfortunately the rest of the soldiers believe in Lu Liang.

Squeaky, the door opened, and a doorman looked down at the Chinese soldiers under the steps with his head held high, followed by two domestic gunners, who looked even more bullish than British diplomats!

"The Chinese army is ordered to search for the soldiers of the Beiyang Army, please cooperate with our search!" Lao Gao stepped forward and stood in front of the doorman, the height of one meter eight immediately made the doorman look up, Lao Gao held the gun in front of him, coupled with the evil aura exuded by the veteran, the doorman consciously took a step back.

"This is the Kong family, the emperor can't come to search, what are you!" The doorman stiffened his neck, trying not to look at Lao Gao's eyes, and faithfully fulfilled the bridge section where the doorman guard was about to be slapped in the face. After saying that, the two gunmen who flashed out from behind the door were about to show their best threat, but they saw a murderous soldier standing outside the door, and they shrank their necks and retreated into the door.

Lao Gao stretched out a foot: "Boy, look at what this thing is!" Then he kicked the doorman a few meters away, lying on the ground and holding his stomach, but he couldn't stand up.

The guard behind the door pulled the bolt of his gun, but did not raise his gun. Xiao Jiang and the others who poured in outside the door put their guns on the guards' foreheads, and the chubby Xiao Jiang couldn't even resist the urge to shoot, but he was stopped by the more sophisticated Da Zhou.

In the Confucian Mansion, a man who looked like an officer walked around, this person was Kong Fei, the sixth son of the Kong clan and the patriarch, who served as the deputy commander of the lieutenant colonel of the Beiyang Army. After the defeat, he fled back to his family. I didn't think about it, but I was still approached by the Chinese army, and when I heard the housekeeper say that the Chinese soldiers broke into the door, I knew that the name of the Kong family couldn't stop this group of stunned soldiers. However, Kong Fei is not worried, the rulers of all dynasties will treat the Kong family well, and he Lu Liang will not be an exception, otherwise he will be attacked by all literati.

Therefore, Kong Fei did not take off his military uniform, and led more than 30 family gunmen to meet him. Coincidentally, the contemporary patriarch rushed to Beijing to participate in Yuan Shikai's proclamation ceremony. No one in the family could stop a lawless confinement that would lead to the annihilation of the clan.

Xiao Jiang led the second squad to meet Kong Fei's team, and when they saw that the other party was carrying weapons, Xiao Jiang and the others immediately used standard tactical actions to find cover, and the gunmen under Kong Fei on the other side died, and when they saw the Chinese soldiers, their hands trembled, and a bullet flew out. These gunmen who run rampant in the countryside were originally used to collect rents and grab land, and they are used to being domineering. It's just that this time I'm looking for the wrong person.

The second squad, which was attacked, immediately counterattacked, and the machine gunner Da Zhou immediately opened fire when he heard the order. The search team led by Lao Gao and Shuai Hu in the other two places rushed over immediately after hearing the gunshots. As soon as the gunshot rang out, Kong Fei knew that something bad was going on, and he shouted in a young and vigorous manner: "You guys resist, I'll call someone again!" "Turn around and flee the battlefield.

Fifteen minutes later, half of the gunmen who had engaged in a head-on exchange with the second squad were killed or wounded, and the rest fled in confusion. The third platoon encountered more and more resistance in the pursuit, and Kong Fei really called people. The Kong family raised hundreds of gunmen, all armed with repeating rifles, and nearly half of them were outlaws who had taken refuge in the Confucian Mansion.

Lao Gao led the people to fight and ordered the soldiers to go back for help, and slowly the entire Confucian Mansion became a battlefield full of bullets, covering an area of hundreds of acres of land, houses, gardens, etc. Interspersed and counter-interspersed, Kong Fei used the tactics he learned in the Beiyang Army to command more than 130 gunmen to fight with great success, and they were familiar with the geographical advantages, and they often rushed out from unnoticed corners to attack the Chinese army.

When two Chinese soldiers were wounded, the battle was out of control, and grenades, mortars, etc. joined the battle. Half an hour later, the battle was completely over, all the gunmen were eliminated, 35 members of the Kong family and their subordinates were killed and wounded, 17 houses were damaged, and three Chinese soldiers were wounded. Kong Fei, the main responsible person, saw that the situation was not good, and surrendered directly, and made wild remarks to the commanders, calling Lu Liang's name to demand compensation for losses and the execution of the soldiers and officers who attacked Confucius's mansion.

Dare to be so rude to the president? A minute later, Kong Fei was dragged to the gate of the Confucian Mansion by several soldiers and shot on the spot, and then the Chinese army dispersed, what to do. The patriarch of the Confucian family in Beijing fainted when he learned of this, and when he woke up, he immediately asked Yuan Shikai to uphold justice, and prepared to mobilize all the literati to crusade against the perverse Lü Liang. Of course, Lu Liang ignored this, and arrested and tried those who danced happily as long as they violated the public security regulations or the criminal law. In the end, the matter was settled, and after thousands of literati were imprisoned, they finally reflected on what kind of ideas the rulers wanted, and that kind of thought was sacrosanct, otherwise it was worthless!

During the period of great social change, it was a good time to use power to change the poisoning of Confucianism, and Lu Liang wished that he would have such an opportunity to attack Confucianism!

On July 23, the Battle of Tai'an began, and the 15th Division of the Japanese Second Army defending here performed well, but after losing one-third of the ammunition and food, the problem of insufficient logistics of the Allied forces became more and more serious, and they had to retreat, and the southern gate of Jinan had been opened.

On the other side, the First Army of the Chinese Army and the Second Marine Division launched the Zibo Offensive Campaign, and General Ao Baogong saw that the situation could not be violated, and ordered the whole army to retreat, in order to retain strength, take the initiative to abandon Jinan City, and withdraw to the direction of Beijing and Tianjin. Seeing that Yuan Shikai was fascinated by the title of emperor, the Allied General Headquarters Kodama Gentaro knew that there was no future for continuing to resist, and after consulting with the Russian army Pajerov, he decided to concentrate his forces to break through the defense line of the Chinese army in western Liao.

As a result, the remnants of the First Army led by Nogi Noshinori were abandoned, and Gentaro Kodama ordered the First Army to cross the Yimeng Mountains on its own and find a way out to reach Beijing and Tianjin.

That's right, but what's the way out? The Chinese army occupies the surrounding area of the Yimeng Mountains, as long as the army goes out of the mountainous area, it will be detected by the Chinese army, and then mobilize the army to encircle and suppress, and the first army will be encircled and annihilated if it cannot go 100 miles in the plain area.

"I decided to carry out guerrilla warfare in the mountains, grain and grass can be collected from the locals, weapons and ammunition are insufficient can be grabbed from landlords and bandits, and I can hold on for as long as I can, and finally force the Chinese army to negotiate with us, so that we can have a glimmer of life!" In the depths of Yimeng, the temporary headquarters was set up in a small village called Jiushan Village, and after collecting information from Yiyuan, Yishui, Linqu, Zhangqiu, Zhucheng and other places, Nogi Noshinori made a decision.

"Maybe we can disperse and break through, the Chinese army's strength on the front line of Zibo and Weixian is weak, we can divide our troops into five routes, use the dark night to hide their whereabouts, pass through Linqu and Qingzhou, and return to Tianjin from Dongying on the coast."

"Guerrilla warfare or breaking through the encirclement is very risky, it is better to let one part stay in the mountainous area to attract the attention of the Chinese army, and most of the rest take the opportunity to break through!"

"Good way, the Chinese army left a garrison of an infantry regiment in Linqu in the north, and after one attack on Linqu, the rest of the troops passed through the Wujing Mountains on the west side of Linqu, and then crossed the communication line between Qingzhou and Zibo as fast as possible. As long as you enter the tidal flats of Weibei, you can use the barren people and dense grass to avoid the pursuit of the Chinese army. ”

The advice of the senior officers was reasonable, and although Nogi Noshinori wanted to fight the Chinese army to the death in the mountains, he was likely to suffer defeat if he insisted on going his own way.

"Then the question is who will stay to attack Linqu to attract the attention of the Chinese army, and this part of the people will make sacrifices for the breakthrough of the large army. As the commander, I should be responsible for the defeat of the First Army, so the remaining troops were composed of the 21st Brigade led by me. The structure of this force was relatively complete, and although it was only more than 4,000 people, it was enough to pose a threat to the Chinese troops in Linqu. The rest of the troops left some ammunition for the 21st Brigade and then took the opportunity to break through after the start of the Linqu offensive. Nogi Noshinori's feat of self-sacrifice has earned him the nickname of "God of War" in Japan, and of course he is the god of war who died.

After ensuring that the 21st Brigade received a relatively sufficient amount of ammunition, the breakout plan was immediately launched. In order to pursue the main force of the Japanese army in Jinan, the second division of the Marine Corps was responsible for defending the northern line of the Yimeng Mountains, of which there was one infantry regiment of the Marine Corps in Linqu, one regiment of the third division of the second army, which was also the main mobile force, and the armored reconnaissance battalion of the third division of the second army, which was also the main mobile force, was also attacked in one place, and the rest of the troops could quickly support. In addition, the second group army of Tai'an and Linyi in the south left the Seventh Army as the unit to block the Japanese army in the mountainous area, and at present it seems that the escape route of the Japanese army is only two in the north and southwest, and the Jiaozhou Peninsula is to the east, and there is no way out, and to the south is the hinterland of the Chinese army, and there are perfect fortifications on the line from Xuzhou to Lianyungang, which is also a dead end.
