Chapter 226: The City Falls

Yue Zhiyi's mood is very irritable now, the sound of Wuhan people shouting and marching outside the consulate is endless, he never thought that those unknown Chinese would suddenly be enthusiastic about boycotting Yueben, Yue Zhiyi absolutely does not believe that the Chinese people will break out one day, he only thinks that there must be some force behind the instigation, now it seems that it should be the Chuanbian patrol Qiao Yu is undoubted, but Yu Zhiyi is also very difficult at this time.

Sichuan is located in the hinterland of China, and the power of Yuben cannot reach at all, and the previous failures have proved that Qiao Yu has super control ability in Sichuan, and what is worse is that Sichuan and Britain and the United States have good cooperation, and it is this close cooperation that makes it difficult for Yuben to directly use force against Sichuan.

And with the outbreak of the European war, Sichuan's position became more and more important, not only to provide strategic materials to the Entente, but also to shoulder the task of production, such a Sichuan is to be protected by Britain anyway, and with the rise of the Sayben, the influence in China is increasing, Britain also urgently needs a force to balance the Sayben, on the issue of the Hanyang Iron Works Britain is not very fully supportive.

Even if the production of the book can't keep up, Sichuan can completely fill this gap, Britain's biggest worry is that the book will use force against China, so that the balance of the Far East will be broken, and the heart of the Zhiyi repeatedly thinks, he wants to maintain the dignity of the book, but also to get a stable supply of iron ore, and Sichuan wants the stone of the pit, and Duan Qirui and Yang Du also have no ability to execute, and they are not able to suppress the Chinese people at all.

When Zhiyi was meditating, a telegram came, and Zhiyi picked up the telegram, and his head suddenly became big, it turned out that something had happened in Shandong, and the commander of the 24th Brigade of the Yamada Ryosui was killed, and he lost a major general on the battlefield in Shandong.

Yamada Liangshui took his subordinates out of Jinan, and the soldiers took the train of the Jiaoji Railway to Qingdao, which was completed and opened to traffic in 1904, connecting Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, and Qingdao, and was a very important railway artery.

Yamada Liangshui was furious, the soldiers were fast, it was the time for him to establish his merits, how could he suddenly stop, Yamada sent someone down to check, it turned out that the railway in front was blown up dozens of meters, and the train naturally could not continue to move forward, and Yamada had no choice, so he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to go forward to repair it.

At this time, the guns in the distance kept rang out, these soldiers were well-trained, hurriedly dispersed, relying on the train as a cover, to fight back, the two sides fought back and forth for dozens of minutes, but at this time it was night, I was not sure whether the other party had dead or wounded, Yamada at first thought it was a sneak attack by the German [***] team, but then he also figured out that the German [***] team is now all trapped in Qingdao, where is there such a ability, here is at most the Chinese bandit army, These people don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they dare to provoke the Empire.

Yamada ordered the pursuit, and soon a team of soldiers rushed over, and the gunfire quickly disappeared, the pair of soldiers were about to retreat, and there were also dense gunfire on the other side of the railway, this time the other party seemed to have machine guns, the fire was very fierce, Yamada Yoshisui was very annoyed, if he was always so disturbed, when would the railway be repaired, Yamada Ryosui decided to personally lead a large group of soldiers to go out in pursuit, and he must let this group of bandits who don't know the height of the sky know the strength of the Imperial Army.

Yamada Yoshisui rode on a tall horse, commanding the soldiers to attack, these bandits did not collapse at the touch of a button, but purposefully retreated, while counterattacking, Yamada Yosui's pursuit team gradually broke away from the railway line, but Yamada didn't care, he is now bent on eliminating these nasty bandits.

At this moment, the bandits in front suddenly stopped retreating, but retreated into the pre-dug trenches, concentrated their firepower and fired at Yumoto, and there were mortars in the bandits' positions, Yamada was also the first time to see this kind of well-armed bandits, and his heart was also constantly thinking.

He also knew for a long time that there were Chinese faces in the defenders of Qingdao, and although there were a few captured by these Chinese people, they said that they were originally some ordinary bandits and bandits, who were hired by Germany, and they did not believe in this aspect, even if these people were bandits, but Germany definitely did not have the ability to hire so many bandits, and there were not necessarily so many bandits in Shandong, I am afraid that a certain person with real power in China secretly colluded with Germany.

Yamada Ryosui was annoyed at first by the sudden attack, but then Yamada also found that this was a rare opportunity, the army in front of him was very likely to be sent by the Chinese side, as long as this group of people can be caught, it is very likely that they will get the real evidence, and find out the troublemakers behind it, that Yamada Ryosui has also become a real hero, Yamada thought of this, but he was very excited, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to outflank the front position in three ways.

After a fierce exchange of fire, the Chinese soldiers could not resist and began to retreat in great strides, Yamada was greatly encouraged, and led the army to chase all the way, and soon the group of Chinese soldiers retreated into a village, Yamada followed, but he was very cautious, and said that the army entered the village separately, but those [***] teams seemed to have evaporated from the world and disappeared.

Yamada Yosuizu looked very depressed, and when the army was carefully searching, he suddenly found that there was something unusual in this small village, although there was not a single resident, but a large amount of firewood and grass were placed around the houses of each family.

At this time, the other people also felt bad, and there were sparks in several corners, which were explosives! Yamada's face immediately changed wildly, but it was too late, and several earth-shattering noises came out, and the entire small mountain village shook, and most of the soldiers who entered the village were sent into the sky, and more than two hundred devils were killed.

In this small mountain village, there are thousands of catties of explosives in ambush, although the power of these black powders is not good, but these weights are enough to turn the village upside down, Yamada Yoshisui is not bad, he is at the entrance of the village, there is not much gunpowder, plus the people around him are desperate to protect him, Yamada Yoshisui is just dizzy from the shock, and there is no other problem.

Finally the wave of anger dissipated, and the soldiers outside the village also came to rescue Yamada and others, just when everyone was lifting Yamada Liangshui outward, a fierce rain of bullets and bullets shot over, and a mortar shell happened to fall on Yamada's side, boom, Yamada did not escape this time, and the upper half of his body was sent to the sky.

As soon as Yamada died, the soldiers were all in a frenzy, and Wu Fenglou and others were also aware of the situation at this time, I am afraid that some big man was killed, and at this time, someone also came to hear that the army on the railway was coming to respond, and Wu Fenglou and others hurriedly retreated.

Originally, Wu Fenglou and others hoped to annihilate Yue himself as much as possible, but it was a coincidence that Yamada Yoshisui personally pursued and buried his life.

Killed a major general, Wu Fenglou and the others didn't know that they had made such a big move, their mission in Shandong at this time had been completed, according to the plan, they all dispersed and sneaked back to Sichuan, and the mission of those bandits had already been completed, and they could also be disbanded on the spot.

"Chief Wu, we have decided to continue to stay in Shandong, and we are ready to fight to the end with Yue himself, and we will never give up if we don't drive them out of Shandong!" Among the bandits, there were more than 300 people who did not disperse.

"Commander, you are all useful, it is very important to protect yourself, people always have to do something earth-shattering in the world, I heard that Lu Rongting in Guangxi has done it with the French, and now he has become the number one person, we are not bad, Shandong is our battlefield, we have to fight with myself to the end!"

Since then, an armed force has appeared in Shandong, which has caused a lot of headaches, and the reputation of the anti-Japanese guerrillas in Shandong has become more and more famous, and the death of Major General has provided a good propaganda advertisement for this army.

On the one hand, he demanded a quick end to the Shandong War, and on the other hand, he also hoped to restore the supply of Chinese materials as soon as possible, but now he was still very fragile, and the huge burden of the Russian war was still on his shoulders, and if China's protests continued to ferment, he was afraid that his plan to seize the war dividends would be frustrated, so his attitude began to soften.

Said Zhiyi had already admitted that Yu Wenxin's death was responsible for the political axe, but he resolutely refused to admit that he had committed other crimes, Duan Qirui and Yang Du were still very excited when they knew, after all, they had a step, Yang Du had communicated with Qiao Yu many times in the past few days, and Qiao Yu also agreed to calm things down as soon as possible, Qiao Yu had achieved the purpose of affecting the trade of Yueben, so he was not willing to offend Yueben too much, and Qiao Yu discussed a solution with Yang Du.

That is, Ben must admit the crime in Shandong, and at the same time bear the responsibility for the Wuhan bloody case, apologize to China, and compensate, and then China can end the strike and strike, and the Hanyang Iron Works can resume the supply of iron ore!

On 14 November, it was said that Ben had conquered Qingdao at the cost of 7,900 men, and if the losses in other battles were added, Ben had lost nearly 10,000 people in order to capture Qingdao, and at the same time, China had reached an agreement in which Ben promised to compensate the people who had suffered in the Wenxin case and the Wuhan bloody case, and at the same time resolutely disagreed with other atrocities in Shandong, but only promised that the Entente would form an investigation team to deal with it separately after checking the facts!
