At this time, in the East, the Fuso Army can be called the first strong army. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this kind of strength is not only reflected in weapons and equipment, or training, but more importantly, spirit.

Compared with the general tradition of the Beiyang Army, which does not see the salary of the army, the Fuso Army has always believed in the concept of loyalty to the imperial country and serving the country for the seventh generation, even if the military supply is insufficient and the other party has a geographical advantage, it may need to use his life to break through the fortress. After the order to attack was given, these soldiers did not show fear, but just packed their bags and silently embarked on the journey.

The temporary halt to advance due to supply and loss problems cannot be regarded as evidence of the Lu army's victory over the Fusang army, but can only be said to be a choice made by the commander after weighing the pros and cons.

When diplomacy cannot solve the problem, and in the end it is necessary to decide the outcome by force, the strength of the Fuso Army should not be underestimated. A few years earlier, outside the gates of China, they had just defeated Tiele and achieved their first victory over the whites.

Although the Lu army on the opposite side is known as the strongest army in the Communist Party, it is still insufficient compared to Tiele. No matter how strong the fortress of the Lu army is, it is impossible to be stronger than Lushun. No matter how good Lu Jun is, he is always stronger than Tiele people. In the minds of the officers and soldiers of Fuso, the fixed opinion is that the only yellow race who can defeat the white race is himself, and the other yellow people are all vulnerable and should bow to the strong.

The overwhelming Fusang Army, like black waves, in a very short period of time, paved with the large and small roads leading from Laiyang to Weifang, and the fields. The military boots trampled on the earth, bent the grass over, and before it could raise its head, it was trampled by a pair of foreign military boots in turn, and finally fell into mud and ceased to exist.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic lodged a solemn protest against the unauthorized intrusion of the Fuso Army into the neutral zone. Rizhiyi came up with a prepared rhetoric, under the pretext that Shandong was shielding the Prussian army and took the initiative to attack the Fuso army, and determined that the Lu army was fully responsible for the conflict. They all know each other in their hearts, and whether or not they are reconciled on the table does not depend on the ability of diplomats, but only on the war situation in Shandong. Once this battle is clear, there will be a conclusion on diplomatic matters.

Zhu Erdian intervened once, but unfortunately did not achieve much success. Fuso doesn't dare to openly ignore Albion now, but he will not deliberately sell the other party's face as he did in the past. After all, Fusang is a very realistic country, everything has to be spoken according to strength, and if the strength is insufficient, and if you want Fusang to bow down to your ears, it is purely a dream.

Tianzhu's rebellion is getting bigger and bigger, and the reputation of the Tianzhu people who are not good at fighting is outside, even if they rebel, no one will be optimistic about them. But the problem is that Albian's stalls are too large, the local population is extremely limited, and the power is scattered, and in Tianzhu, there are few people in Albiang. The catastrophe and famine in Tianzhu led to a high level of discontent among the people, and the accumulated grievances were like a giant powder keg, and if a match was thrown on it, it would naturally detonate.

The angry Tianzhu people, no matter how weak their combat effectiveness is, once they have an absolute superiority in numbers, they are not something that the Albiang companies in Tianzhu can deal with. Coupled with the instability of the African colonies, the powerful empire on which the sun never sets is like a nobleman who once had a prosperous family, and the actual situation of being strong on the outside and doing things in the middle has been exposed. Seeing that the colonies that once belonged to them are about to be lost, at this time, where does they have the ability to restrain the Fusang people?

Zhu Erdian, who failed to negotiate again, reluctantly returned to his carriage, and his assistant was a little worried: "The Fusang people still refused our country's request to send troops?" If we cannot meet the demands of the Fusang people and allow them to obtain the benefits of Prussia after settling the Shandong War, I am afraid that Fuso will not agree and send troops to help us quell the rebellion in Tianzhu. ”

"If we say yes, we won't necessarily get their help. The Fuso are like an insatiable wolf, you can't expect to feed them some food and get them to do their bidding. You know, there are many clans in the Jin people who are good at training beasts. A disciple of the Wan Yan clan once told me that if you want to train a beast, you need not only food, but also a whip. When they don't obey, beat them severely. Letting them understand that they can eat meat if they are obedient is only the first step. Let them remember that if they don't obey, they will be beaten, and that is the key to success. They had a great appetite and wanted not only the interests of Prussia, but also ours. For this reason, the Fuso even made a treaty with the Tiele people! Fusang Tiele, an enemy who had previously been at odds with each other, was willing to cooperate militarily in order to defend each other's interests, and this is integrity. To unite Tiele is to betray Her Majesty! Fuso needs to pay the price for their misjudgment. ”

The assistant also knew that Prussia's exploration in Shandong was quite effective, and dozens of rich mineral deposits were discovered in the province. Precious mineral deposits, including coal, iron ore, precious stones, and gold, made Prussia salivate and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to fight.

For Albion, those deposits are just as valuable. Especially Taixi's fight is upside down, spending a lot of military spending every day, at this time, Shandong's mining is also an important supplement to the imperial economy, who is willing to give up?

But no matter how tempting the mineral deposits are, the problems at hand still exist. The assistant was a little hesitant

"Your Excellency, the problem now is that our forces in the East are too weak to intimidate the Fuso. Just like the actions of the Fuso Navy in Southeast Asia, which have seriously affected our diplomatic plans, but in the end, we cannot impose effective sanctions on them except protests. Once they succeed in occupying Shandong and expelling Zhao Guanhou, it will be difficult to change the situation even if we intervene. ”

"Do you think Shandong will definitely lose this war? Don't jump to conclusions, my friend, because the goddess of victory is like a girl in love, with a fluctuating temper, and no one knows what she will think in the next second. The current winner may soon be left with nothing. You keep your eyes peeled and watch, maybe the development of the situation will surprise you! ”

The three main divisions of the Fusang Army that invaded Shandong, in addition to the battle damage and garrison troops, totaled more than 40,000 troops, overwhelming the sky and swept to the front line of Weifang. On the urgently built railway, Fuso's train was running at full speed, transporting soldiers and military supplies to the front line.

On the naval side, the huge Fuso naval fleet has carried out continuous artillery bombardment towards the Qingdao fortress. The Qingdao Fort also resolutely returned the color and launched a fierce artillery battle between the two. Prussia's batteries are not comparable to gold, and the guns they are equipped with are the latest products of the Krupp Arsenal, and their firepower and range are among the best in the world. But after all, the Fuso fleet has a numerical advantage, and it is believed that it is only a matter of time before the batteries change hands.

"Fort, that's just the first step. The moment the fort is taken, it is the beginning of the journey of suffering. Suzuki Shouichi pointed to the map with some schadenfreude, and on the side of the map, there was also a photo of the outer layer of the Qingdao fortress taken by Fuso agents.

"The fortification of Qingdao Fortress is comparable to that of Lushun. If you think about the price our army paid in Lushun, you will know how ugly those dolphins from Jiangtian Island will die this time. While we were sipping fine wine in Jinan and chasing those beautiful schoolgirls, the idiots of the navy had to step on the corpses of their comrades and rush to the fortress with great difficulty. This is retribution! It was in the Battle of Lushun that they evaded the attack and only chose cheap retribution. ”

The other two wing commanders who served as the main attack on the front line also agreed, "Suzuki-kun Takami." If it weren't for your plan, it might be our turn now, to take the shells of Qingdao. Weakening a fortress without relying on offensive means is indeed an excellent strategy. As long as we take Jinan, all the credit will belong to the army, and the navy is only worthy of eating ashes behind our horses' hooves! Looking at the enemies we are facing, and then at Qingdao, we have to say that Suzuki-kun is really too far-sighted. ”

Last time, Fusang's cavalry wing only reached the vicinity of Changyi, but it was strongly blocked by the cavalry brigade, and an entire brigade was swallowed up. This time, the Fuso Army set up three wings, like three sharp blades splitting down, and almost did not waste any effort, and took Changyi down.

As in the previous battles, Changyi was still an empty city. With the previous performance of the Fusang Army, the remaining ordinary people do not need to be mobilized, and they also know the reason for escape. What's more, Zhao Guanhou took out a large amount of money to distribute the road expenses, and the residents had no pressure to run. But unlike the previous attacks, Fusang did not gain nothing in Changyi this time.

The intelligence agencies finally got their job into play. In the pre-Jin era, the intelligence agency arranged a secret son in Changyi, and this secret son married a wife and had children here, and settled down here for decades. Most people regard him as an old resident of Changyi, and few people remember him as an outsider, let alone know that he is actually from Fusang.

This agent is also extremely stable, and the last time the cavalry brigade ambushed the cavalry wing, he didn't send any news, so he has been hiding and not exposed. As soon as the Fuso army entered the city, he immediately went to contact him and provided an important clue.

His work in Shandong is very good, not only does he have a certain industry, but also after the merger, he entered the Shandong government and became a grassroots clerk. There is a batch of military supplies, which are stored in the county town of Changyi, and he is responsible for completing the task of destroying this batch of military supplies. Naturally, these military supplies were thus retained and taken over for the Fuso soldiers.

It is said that this is a new type of medicine called Dalimaru, and it is another result of the Belgian company that developed penicillin, which is known as the "god of life". Due to Mrs. Jensen's relationship with Zhao Guanhou, this medicine was not sold publicly, and was only used within the Lu army. After using this white elixir, people will become hyperactive, not afraid of pain, and move forward bravely.

You must know that although the current war is dominated by the mutual firepower of the infantry columns, the final victory or defeat is often decided by the bayonet. A force that is not afraid of pain and does not know fear is terrifying to think about. Judging from the situation of the previous Pingdu strategy battle, this medicine is indeed effective, otherwise how dare the Lu army fight a stalemate with his own troops in Pingdu, and finally fight to lose both?

A group of soldiers who were selected to serve as guinea pigs, after using the pill, the effect was indeed significant. Within a few hours, the user will become extremely excited, with much more physical strength than usual, and the pain nerve paralysis, after being hit, often ignorant of the pain, can continue to charge.

Of course, after the effect of the drug wears off, there will be a few days of malaise, physical decline, long-term use, will definitely cause irreversible damage to the body. But compared to supply and marketing, what are these negative effects? Anyway, I didn't plan to let these pilled people live until a few days later, as long as it could cause chaos to the enemy, who cares about the rest.

The seizure of this batch of elixirs, which can be called elixirs, is considered by Suzuki to be an excellent omen. In addition to a part of the drug being shipped back to China as a sample, ready to analyze the ingredients, preemptively register patents, and seize the domestic market. All other medicines were left in the unit and were ready to be distributed to the commandos. And his magic weapon to win, of course, is not only these medicines, but also has his own killer moves.

"The Lu army has a lot of tactics worth learning from, such as accurate shooting at the commander. On the battlefield outside the Guan, Zhao Guanhou's troops had a record of killing the head of the opposing commander many times. In my opinion, this is not luck, but the Lu army has been specially trained in precision shooting. We don't learn the stupid gentleman's tricks of the Taixi people, war is not a game between gentlemen, on the battlefield, no one is God's favorite, everyone regardless of official rank, as long as they go to the battlefield, they have the consciousness of dying in battle. We have prepared a hundred sharpshooters this time to deal specifically with the front-line commanders of the Lu army. Since the surrender of Zhao Guanhou, the overseer of Shandong, everyone is within the scope of hunting. ”

On the battlefield of Taixi, at this time, there was still the legacy of aristocratic warfare that did not aim at generals, and Fuso, the army division of Prussia, also learned this gentlemanly style from Taixi. But all the officers knew in their hearts that if Zhao Guanhou was killed, the war would end. Weigh the pros and cons, gentlemanly demeanor, and to hell with it.

A soldier ran in and reported: "The vanguard of our army has come into contact with the Lu army near Weixian. Judging by the enemy's situation, it seems to be a cavalry brigade of the Lu army. ”

"Cavalry brigade? Very good. I heard that the commander of the cavalry brigade is Zhao Guanshuai's concubine. Whether she is captured or shot, it can make Zhao Guanshuai grief-stricken. I can't wait to see his sad face now. Inform the front that there are female soldiers in the cavalry brigade, and if you want to have fun, cheer me on. ”

In fact, the area where the two sides were engaged was extremely unfavorable for cavalry. The terrain is predominantly hilly, which is not conducive to the galloping of war horses. The first company of the cavalry regiment of the Lu army who fought here, the whole army dismounted and fought on foot, and the war horses were handed over to the horse stakes for safekeeping. Against the enemy is the reconnaissance squad of the Fuso Army, which is also extremely limited.

The Fusang Army, which served as the top soldier, had neither special forces nor heavy equipment, and knew that it could not eat the Lu army opposite, and its original intention was mainly to try. However, the reaction from the rear was unexpectedly strong, and instead of allowing the front army to retreat, two squads of the Fuso Army rushed forward to support this spearhead.

These reinforcements were unusually strong-willed, shouting and rushing towards the army, the range of the carbine was weaker than that of the rifle, and it was already at a disadvantage in the confrontational fire. However, these reinforcements did not rely too much on firepower, and after a few rows of guns had been fired, they shouted and rushed towards the position.

Sun Feibiao, the commander of the cavalry company of the Lu Army, was still holding a cigarette pouch in his mouth amid the flying guns, showing his composure. He is Sun Meiyao's own family, knows a lot of secrets, and when he saw the momentum of this Fusang army, he parted his cigarette pouch to his waist

"Tell the brethren to withdraw quickly. These things are on the rise, and they can't do anything with them. Follow the order, save strength, retreat to the line of defense. (To be continued.) )
