The person responsible for the defense of Pingdu County was originally a security battalion, plus a company of the Lu Army. Just after Zhao Guanhou took over the Jiaozhou concession in a high-profile manner www.biquge.info two more companies of reinforcements arrived, and the strength of the regular army of the Lu army also reached one battalion. Since the regular army is larger than the security battalion, the actual strength of the army is also larger than that of the security battalion.

As soon as the regular army arrived, it naturally took the lead. The common people don't know how many Fusang people there are, they can only see that the regular army is overwhelming and majestic, plus the city wall has been newly built in Pingdu County. Touching the stone city bricks and looking at the bright bayonets, he decided that the city was impregnable, and it was safest to stay in the city. The work of emigration, with the arrival of the regular army, has been slow to progress.

Luo Guanghua, the commander of the reinforcement battalion, is Shang Quan's old subordinate and a native of Jinmen, and is considered a fellow countryman of Zhao Guanhou. With this relationship, the speed of promotion in the army is much faster than that of other people. He studied twice in the military academy, and he also received a short sword from Zhao Guanhou himself. This kind of person can be regarded as a yellow jacket in the Lu army, and after a period of time in the position of battalion commander, he can be promoted to a regiment-level cadre.

In the Lu army, the regiment commander is regarded as a dragon gate, and if he jumps over, he has a great future waiting for him. Even if you don't have so many troops to bring with you, you can enjoy the relevant treatment and earn a very generous allowance. Therefore, most people's views on Luo Guanghua's trip to Pingdu are two words: gold-plating. As long as he can achieve good results in Pingdu, he can be promoted all the way, and he may be able to reach the brigade level or even the division level in the future.

These two companies of Lu troops were well-equipped, and they all made rifled guns for Lu, plus a large number of ammunition and materials, and they brought hundreds of boxes of ammunition alone. The combat mission given to them is also very simple, just to guard in Pingdu for a few days and ensure that the people are transferred, it is an easy task. After learning of the mission, the morale of the defenders was also boosted. The gentry in the city pooled their money to buy cattle, wine, pigs and sheep, and sent them to the barracks to reward their soldiers.

The soldiers were full of oil and full of confidence, but the mood of the command staff was not as relaxed as below. The commanders above the platoon level were all gathered by Luo Guanghua at the battalion headquarters to hold an emergency meeting.

The conference room was smoky, Luo Guanghua pointed to the map, his face was very serious, and his tone was extremely low

"Not to mention superfluous words, the current situation is very clear to everyone, we are facing three divisions of Fuso troops. Three divisions! As far as the two battalions in our hands are concerned, the combat effectiveness is uneven, and at most they can only be used as one and a half battalions. You say, Is it possible to win this battle? ”

"Didn't it say that only civilians should be evacuated? We can't fight it, but as long as the people retreat, we can retreat, it's always okay, right? Besides, it is impossible for all three divisions to fight over, and it is not difficult for a single wing to come down from the sky. ”

Luo Guanghua sneered: "Is it easy to evacuate the people?" Why do these gentry give us rewards, don't they just don't want to leave? Look at it, since we came, how many people have been dead and alive? Even the common people outside the city went to the city. It's good to say good things and don't listen, if you are tough, the security camp will be the first to not agree, and besides, what about after the people are evacuated? Do you think that the Fusang people are the Flying Tiger Regiment or the Ge Ming Army that we fought before? Let's fight if we want, and leave when we want? This battalion is the elite soldiers of the Second Mixed Brigade, and it is also the capital of the Lu army, so they died in vain? What is the value of such a defeated and deadly battle? ”

There was silence in the conference room, and there were several footsteps outside the door, as well as the clashing of bayonets. The soldier shouted loudly, "We can't be cannon fodder, this is a matter of hitting a stone with an egg, we can't do it!" Whoever dares us to send us to death, we will kill him first! ”

Listening to the voice, there are also dozens of people. The officers who came in to attend the meeting, the pistols and sabers had already been taken away by the guards, and everyone was bare-handed, and only one squad of guards was enough to solve all the cadres in the room. Everyone looked at each other, thinking: Isn't it going to mutiny?

"I, Luo Guanghua, am not afraid of death, but I don't look for death either, let alone let my brothers fill the muzzle!" Luo Guanghua slapped the table hard

"This battalion of brothers cannot be confessed here in vain, and the brothers themselves will not be willing to die. The handsome man is not thin on us, of course we must be right for the grace of the handsome. However, if you put the old book together, is this the right handsome? Shandong is the world of Fusang people sooner or later, let's fight with Fusang people too fiercely, how can we meet in the future? If we can be friendly with the Prussians, we can't be friendly with the Fuso? I have read the books of the Fuso people, and I know their philosophy, they talk about the greater East Asian tolerance, and they want to lead all the yellow people to compete with the white people for the world. Everyone is of the same kind of text, from Xu Fudongdu, maybe they are the same ancestor as us. More worthy of our friendship than the Prussians. ”

Several battalion and company cadres had uncertain faces and were all silent. The youngest company commander in the entire battalion took over the conversation, "So, Battalion Commander Luo has already made up his mind to pull the team to that side?" ”

"Sooner or later, early and late. If you come to Shandong to grab land, I Luo Mou won't say a word, even if I am desperate, I must keep the foundation of Shandong and take a good look at the family for the handsome. But the Fusang people are foreigners, they can't occupy Shandong, and in the end they still have to cooperate with the marshal. This is nothing more than a formality, the Fusang people go to Qingdao at that station, and the clouds disperse one day. If you fight to the death, you're a fool! The other side has already agreed, no reduction in the establishment, no change in the defense area, nothing more than we accept the command of the Fusang people and defend the rear for the Fusang people. In fact, it is also to maintain order, so as not to cause chaos in the rear, which is also a matter of two pennies, and there is an explanation for which side it is. ”

The young company commander named Su Wenhu originally had no big name, only the nickname of Xiaohuzi. When Su Hanzhi went to visit the wounded in the wounded barracks, he was so excited that he shouted sister, and was almost shot dead by the person in charge of the wounded barracks.

But Su Hanzhi did not reproach him for his rebellion, but recognized this brother, although he just said it casually and did not hold any ceremony, but everyone in the Lu army knows that Shandong is the master of the marshal, but the eldest wife can be the master of the marshal. With this opportunity, if you don't know how to make friends, then there is no need to mix in officialdom.

So Su Wenhu, an ordinary soldier, was first promoted to squad leader by the line of fire, and then had a name. Subsequently, his promotion can be called a smooth progress, all the way to the position of company commander. If it weren't for the outbreak of war in Shandong, he might have been sent to the Martial Arts Academy to be gilded by now, waiting for future promotions and appointments.

Luo Guanghua was also very enthusiastic about Su Wenhu, "Company Commander Su, I know that you are the eldest lady's confidant, but if I say something, you don't like to listen." The eldest lady just said casually, if you ask now, she may still remember who you are. Besides, we are not betraying the handsome, but for the sake of the handsome. Even if the eldest lady asks in the future, maybe she will praise you for being able to do things and be a person. ”

Su Wenhu nodded, "Yes, what Battalion Commander Luo said makes sense, you can't fight with the Fusang people, even if you do, this battle is meaningless." We can't afford to fight with the Fuso people, and we are destined to lose money, so we shouldn't do it. ”

Luo Guanghua walked over and patted Su Wenhu on the shoulder, "I don't see it, is Company Commander Su very flexible, it's good." If you want to get ahead, you have to have this kind of energy. Since everyone has no opinions, let's gather the team, announce the change of banners, and seal all the warehouses for the use of the Fuso troops. Let's give some food and buy peace, which is good for everyone. ”

Su Wenhu looked at everyone, his eyes were indifferent, "Battalion Commander Luo, I, Su Wenhu, am a rough person, I don't know how to read, I don't understand reason, and I don't know what you say." I only know one thing, the eldest lady said that if you want to fight with the Fusang people, then fight. Whoever opposes the eldest lady, I will kill him! ”

As soon as the words fell, the ashtray that was grabbed by Su Wenhu in his hand fell on Luo Guanghua's head. The ashtray was broken into several pieces, Luo Guanghua screamed, and blood was already on his head. But before he could draw his pistol, Su Wenhu had already pressed against him tightly, and the broken ashtray in his hand was still smashed towards his head.

When the guards outside the door rushed in, they saw Luo Guanghua lying in a pool of blood, and Su Wenhu, who was covered in blood and had a cold look like a ghost. He rolled his eyes and glanced at the guards, "You also want to oppose the marshal, the eldest lady?" Come on! If you're not afraid of death, I'll see, how many are left in the end! ”

Luo Guanghua's personal guard took a step forward and gave a military salute to Su Wenhu, "Company Commander Su, you have done a good job, from now on, this battalion will be under your command." But you're still too impulsive, if you do it later, I can know who supports Luo Guanghua's proposition. ”

Several officers were taken aback, Luo Guanghua's personal guard was actually not of the same mind as him, and he still had the power to appoint a battalion commander? The guard seemed to see everyone's doubts, and sneered:

"In addition to Luo Guanghua's guard, my other identity is the Shandong Social Customs Investigation Commissioner, the marshal gave us a warrant, battalion-level cadres, we have the right to appoint and dismiss on the spot, and we also have the right to correct the law on the spot! Now, the security battalion has surrounded the battalion headquarters, and several Fusang intelligence officers led by Luo Guanghua have now been resolved. The rebellious soldiers have been disarmed, and the way to surrender to Fusang has been cut off, and the next thing is only to fight hard. You didn't say anything just now, but you left yourself a chance to live, and then, do it well, otherwise...... You don't know how many people work for us. ”

Several officers have chills down their spines, Luo Guanghua's personal guards have all been turned back by the social investigation, who is good at his side, who is the other party's person, and who can he trust?

Su Wenhu ignored what they thought, took off the epaulettes from Luo Guanghua's corpse, and did not wipe the blood, just held it in his hand, "From now on, I am the battalion commander." Now, I order, immediately organize the evacuation of the people, and the materials in the city are immediately loaded and transferred......"

The huge army of the Fuso people could not have gathered in a group to advance, in fact, after completing the battle for the capture of Longkou. Shenwei's subordinates were divided into several parts, and several light army forwards began to plunder all parts of Jiaodong. Even if the banner of attacking Prussia was nominally raised, in fact, the purpose of this was to seize as much territory as possible, and all Fuso soldiers knew this.

The more land occupied before the war, and the more bleeding the republic after the war. There is no reason to spit out the food that you eat in your mouth, and as long as it is occupied by the Fuso soldiers, it is impossible to return it.

In the future, if the Communists want to return these places, they will have to exchange them for real money. And what was exchanged back was only land, and as for the original materials, they were destined to belong to the imperial army.

Several troops, like locusts, spread from country to county, attacking their designated targets. For the Fusang Army, the vast territory of Jiaodong is like a stripped beauty, waiting for the Fusang warriors to gallop. As for the Lu army, which was responsible for the defense of these areas, even if there was a battle for Longkou Fortress, the Fusang soldiers did not take them to heart.

Black smoke was emitting from the village, and the air was filled with the smell of burning. Charred corpses, maintaining a fist-fighting stance, which is the standard posture of a fire dead. The bodies of women were not burned, but hung from trees or stuck in bayonets. The naked corpse just swayed in the wind. The murderers, on the ruins, sat indiscriminately and sent roasted domestic animals to their mouths.

The animals, which originally belonged to the villagers of Shanghe Village, have now been killed by their owners, and they have become food for the attackers.

Since Zhao Guanhou was the governor, Shandong has actively opened up to the outside world, with the export-oriented service-oriented economy as the main body, and has frequent dealings with foreigners. There are more and more foreigners in Shandong, and in the countryside, you can also see foreigners, and there are even small churches.

For foreigners, the people have long changed from fear to habituality, and are not as fearful and hostile to foreigners as they once were. Even though the propaganda materials describe the murder of the Oriental soldiers in great detail, not many people believe it.

The merchants and villagers of Fusang have seen a lot, but they have not seen people eating and drinking blood. I think that the discipline of the Oriental soldiers is worse, but it is not as bad as the officers and soldiers of the former Jin. They are all the same people, they can always communicate, and as long as the supply of military food is sufficient, the other party will not harm others.

Villagers are more worried about their crops than Orientals. If this is missed, the livelihood of the year will be in question. In addition, the food and living in the mountains are not as comfortable as their own homes, so the villagers still decided to return to their hometowns and serve the crops well.

On a dark and windy night, the villagers overturned the guards, escaped from their hiding places, and returned to their homes. Then, I met this Fuso cavalry. According to the rules for dealing with the ringing horses, they prepared food, and raised hoes, shovels and other farm tools, indicating that they also have the strength to fight and should not be insulted.

But the Fuso officer only waved his hand, and the vanguard cavalry jumped over the barrier, rushed into the village, and then turned the place into ruins.

"Shandong is a beautiful place, with grain, minerals, beautiful girls, and more importantly, there are not so many disasters. It's not fair why such a beautiful place would be entrenched by the weak. ”

The commander of this cavalry was a middle-aged man in his early forties, with a straight and meticulous military uniform. He did not participate in the sadism just now, but just stood there, indulging the behavior of his subordinates and cheering them on.

It was a cavalry team of more than 500 people, consisting of two cavalry squadrons and a cavalry squad. The man who spoke was Masao Aomori, the squadron leader of the second squadron of the first brigade of the Ota Cavalry Wing, and the companion was Masao Takeda, the leader of the third squadron.

In the Army, there were several internal investigations into Masashige Aomori. The content ranged from the abuse of recruits to the murder of colleagues, but because there was no evidence, and Aomori himself was a brave soldier, these investigations were closed.

Prior to the battle, the training of the Aomori Cavalry Squadron was known for its rigour, and the number of casualties during the training had exceeded the standard of the troops, and they were called "Captain Shura" in the troops. ”

Relatively speaking, Takeda Masao is a little cautious, and even known as a mediocre. But only this mediocre man can say a few words to Aomori.

"Aomori-kun, allow me to remind you that there are journalists in our army, and our military discipline is ......."

"To hell with military discipline!" Aomori waved his hand unceremoniously, "Discipline is a chain that binds the weak, and for the conqueror, it means nothing. The survival of the strong is the most useful military discipline. There are too many Chinese, and it doesn't matter if you kill some. If we don't kill them all, how can our people have a place to live? The total number of resources in this world is limited, not enough to support such a large population, natural selection, survival of the fittest. The strong deserve everything, and the weak deserve everything! ”

Masao Takeda put his hand on his forehead, realizing that this loyalist of evolution might be in charge and that the situation might get out of control. Aomori patted him on the shoulder, a strange smile on his face.

"Don't worry, I'll take all the blame. Under the rule of Zhao Guanhou, Shandong took the policy of binding the hands and feet of the strong, which made Shandong weak and vulnerable. We are here to promote a new order, and those who are weak will inevitably jump out and express their dissatisfaction. If the inhabitants think you are weak, then our troops will not be able to move an inch. This is only the beginning, our cavalry, to spread fear throughout Shandong, so that those little children will not dare to cry when they hear the sound of the hooves of the great warriors. When a woman hears the sound of horses' hooves, she unfastens her clothes automatically, and this is what a warrior should do. Come on, let's make a big move, let these weak people understand that a new order has arrived, and the new Shandong belongs to Fusang, and it belongs to the Shandong of the strong!
