Soon, the billowing smoke of the city gate rushed into the endless stream of Wehrmacht, and the officers and men of the garrison who were so pressed by the special operations company that they could not raise their heads were suddenly blinded, and they watched the Wehrmacht rush into Jinan City but there was nothing they could do.

After the regiment and battalion of the guard division entered the city of Jinan, they ignored the remaining enemies at the head of the city, and rushed into the city with their weapons.

As more and more people from the first regiment of the guard division entered Jinan City, finally a company of officers and soldiers killed the officers and soldiers of the garrison.

"Surrender, we surrender, we don't fight!" The officers and men of the garrison, who were already left, did not even have the courage to resist, and knelt directly on the ground and raised their rifles high above their heads.

Because the Beiyang Army had no troops in the city, the guard division that entered the city rushed to its target almost without encountering resistance.

The defenders in other directions, hearing the sudden sound of gunfire and shouts of killing in the city, immediately realized that the fortifications had been breached. If one is not good, the Wehrmacht who will enter the city will attack from inside and outside, and wipe themselves out at the head of the city.

As a result, these garrisons guarding the head of the city, as if they had been discussed, surrendered to the guard division in formation.

"Division commander, we have already entered Jinan City, and it only took less than fifty minutes before and after!" The chief of staff reported with an excited face.

Li Xiaohu didn't have too many surprises on his face, didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly ordered: "Implement the predetermined plan, wipe out all the enemies in the city within an hour, and then collect the loot and all the war horses in the city!" ”

Yuan Shikai was located in the Dashuai Mansion in Jinan City, because the guard division came too fast, so fast that the opponent didn't even have time to react. Therefore, all the family members of Yuan Shikai in the Shuai Mansion were captured.

Although Yuan Shikai will become his next biggest opponent, Yang Xingguo does not intend to use his family.

So, the guard division did not mean to take them away and capture them. But the wealth in Yuan Shikai's hands, Li Xiaohu was not polite at all.

After only a few threats to Yuan Shikai's family, Yuan Shikai's millions of taels of silver hidden in the Shuai Mansion were found.

Coupled with the military expenses in the inventory of the Beiyang Army Headquarters, and the family property of several important henchmen under Yuan Shikai, in less than ten hours, the guard division found gold and silver worth 6.5 million taels of silver from Jinan City.

Looking at the gold and silver in front of him, which was already bagged and could be described as piled up, Li Xiaohu was worried.

Such a large sum of gold and silver, even if it were transported by horse-drawn carriages, would have cost at least two hundred.

But there is a big problem with horse-drawn carriage transportation, the transportation speed is too slow, and the requirements for official roads are also very high.

Once the main force of the Beiyang Army returned to help, the guard division dragging more than 200 wagons would definitely not be able to outrun the pursuit of the Beiyang Army.

Of course, Li Xiaohu can also draw out a force to block the Beiyang Army and buy time for the retreating troops.

But the main force of the Beiyang Army is still there, and the combat effectiveness is strong, and if one is not good, the troops left behind the palace may be surrounded and then eliminated.

For the sake of these millions of taels of silver, Li Xiaohu didn't want too many casualties in the guard division.

Just when Li Xiaohu was in trouble, the chief of staff suddenly rushed over, and then happily reported: "Division commander, war horses, we have found at least a thousand war horses in the city, it is found that Yuan Shikai is preparing to form a cavalry regiment and has just bought them from Mongolia. ”

"With these 1,000 horses, the gold and silver can be transported back, and they can still catch up with the speed of our march!"

Li Xiaohu's eyes lit up first, then his brows furrowed again, and then he retorted: "It's still not enough, in order to ensure the speed of the war horse, a horse can only carry three thousand taels of silver, even if we use all the captured war horses, there are still more than three million taels of silver left!" ”

The chief of staff immediately proposed: "We can divide it among each soldier, and each person will bring three million taels of silver, and ten thousand people will be gone." ”

"Didn't there still be hundreds of horses carrying cannonballs when they came, and now that all the cannonballs have been exhausted, these horses can also be transferred to carry silver."

Two hours later, the Guards Division, with a large harvest, began to retreat.

After another two hours, after the main force led by Yuan Shikai was still two hours away from Jinan, Li Xiaohu personally took the guard battalion to finally evacuate Jinan City.

When Yuan Shikai finally returned to Jinan City with his troops, it was still a very prosperous city before he left. At this time, it was like a bandit crossing the border, and it was very depressed.

After confirming that the Wehrmacht is really gone, and that the marshal has returned. Many officers of the Beiyang Army who were still alive in the city went out of the city one after another, crying to Yuan Shikai about the bad behavior of the guard division in the city.

The headquarters of the Beiyang Army was counted with the losses day by day, and then sent to Yuan Shikai.

Yuan Shikai's face didn't know when it had become pale, looking at the more and more loss reports in front of him, he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Marshal, the reconnaissance force reports: The national defense forces that attacked Jinan City have all withdrawn to Qingdao Military Port. Also, this Wehrmacht is laying out a defensive line around the military port and does not seem to be planning to leave! "The chief of staff with another bad news, although he didn't want to continue to stimulate Yuan Shikai at this time, the news was too important, and he had to report it in a whisper after some hesitation.

"What, occupy Qingdao and don't leave! What does he Yang Xingguo want to do? Not to mention the profits of the fisherman, he also ate the elite of my two towns, robbed me of Jinan City, and now he doesn't even plan to return Qingdao to me, does he want to fight me now? Yuan Shikai finally spoke at this time, and the whole person was like an angry lion, scolding loudly.

But the chief of staff next to him could clearly feel that Yuan Shikai looked angry at this time, but he was very bitter and helpless in his heart, and he could only vent his dissatisfaction and anger through angry scolding.

Seeing that Yuan Shikai seemed to be in a much better mood after scolding, the chief of staff continued to remind: "Marshal, Qingdao Military Port is too important to us, and it must not fall into the hands of the National Defense Forces. ”

"Otherwise, the national defense forces occupying Qingdao, as long as they are willing, may be dispatched at any time to seriously ill and return to Jinan City!"

Yuan Shikai replied helplessly: "I know, I understand what you said." The National Defense Forces occupied Qingdao and did not leave, in order to build Qingdao into a bridgehead for their attack on Shandong. However, without a navy and relying only on the army, it is difficult for the commander to imagine that we can retake Qingdao from the Wehrmacht. ”

"Don't forget, more than a dozen warships that originally belonged to us in Qingdao were all captured by the Wehrmacht, plus their own warships, and there are more than 100 large-caliber naval guns on the warships alone. Do you think it is possible for us to enter Qingdao and take him from the Wehrmacht under the attack of the Wehrmacht's large-caliber naval guns? ”

The chief of staff frowned and thought for nearly a minute before replying: "Launching an attack at night, but the price may be a bit big!" ”

"As long as the marshal is willing to give me the main force of the three towns, I will definitely be able to recapture Qingdao!"

Yuan Shikai shook his head again, and replied helplessly: "Three towns, you really dare to think about it!" Do you think that Ben Shuai still has the troops of three towns in his hands to attack Qingdao? ”

The chief of staff was directly puzzled at this time, and asked with a look of incomprehension: "Isn't there still the elite of six towns in Jinan City?" How can it be that even three towns can't be drawn! ”

Yuan Shikai had a rare firm expression on his face: "Ben Shuai said that if you can't take it out, you can't take it out!" (To be continued.) )
