Chapter 219: The Bloody Battle of Qingdao

When most people on the land of China are still at a loss for the sudden invasion of the European war, Sichuan has begun to harvest, the first batch of German university teachers and students to reach Sichuan has a total of 200 people, everyone took a train from Shandong to Shanghai, and then changed to a ship to Yucheng, and finally this section came to Chengdu by train, responsible for receiving them is Zhang Lan, Minister of Education of Sichuan, according to the plan, these students will be temporarily placed in Sichuan University, but not merged into Sichuan University, Instead, it is a team to prepare for the establishment of Southwest University of Technology.

After they came to Sichuan, they found that they had completely entered a new world, and the streets were full of brightly dressed people walking in a hurry, especially those women wearing bright cheongsams, the slits had reached their thighs, and the snow-white skin in the flesh-colored stockings was looming, which made those students with strong blood dizzy for a while.

In the impression of many people, Shanghai is the most open place in China, the lights are bright, and the ten-mile foreign field is full of people with their surnames, but the degree of openness of Sichuan, far inland, is even more unexpected than that of Shanghai, and the ordinary people on the streets seem to have not seen it, and they are obviously accustomed to it.

Not far from the railway station, there is a newly built road, the workers are busy with construction, the dark muscles are covered with sweat, and there are several construction sites not far away, it seems that they are building a western-style building, the whole Chengdu is like a big construction site, although busy but still orderly.

"Minister Zhang, the construction of Sichuan is really the best in the country, the scale of this street and building is far better than Shanghai, when I was in Shandong, I heard that Qiao Patrol made the means of governing the local area amazing, and now I know that what I said is true!"

The speaker was a German scribe in his fifties, his name was Liu Changshan, a Chinese language teacher at Dehua University, he had passed the examination in the former Qing Dynasty, and his knowledge was very good, and he was mainly responsible for this group of students.

"Mr. Liu, Chengdu has changed a lot in recent years, and the road has been widened three times, but now that the European war has broken out, European and American businessmen have gathered, and Sichuan may have greater development!" Because there were German teachers in the team, Zhang Lan did not have much, but took everyone around a street, temporarily arranged these students into student apartments, several German teachers arranged special villas, everything was arranged, and these students began a new life in Sichuan.

The war in Europe was unfolding rapidly, after Germany declared war, it first attacked Luxembourg, then attacked Belgium, and soon the whole of Belgium fell, and the German army continued to march into France, and the two fateful enemies began to fight to the death.

At this time, Qiao Yuzheng, Jiang Baili, and Wu Tong, who were in Sichuan, gathered in the office, and a huge Western European sand table had been placed on the table, and the three of them carefully deduced the development of the war situation according to the telegrams sent from Europe.

Wu Tong spoke first: "Marshal, Mr. Jiang, in this European war, Germany and France are the most important warring parties, and the other countries are just playing a supporting role in containment, looking at the current situation, the power of the German [***] team is obviously above the French army, after occupying Belgium, hundreds of thousands of German troops have entered France, and it seems that they will go straight to Paris, as long as Paris is conquered, France may be difficult to maintain, so that the war will end quickly!" ”

"Otherwise, Chief of Staff Wu, I have been in Germany for a while, Germany's national strength and military strength are second to none in Europe, but Germany also has a fatal weakness, that is, the victory of the Franco-Prussian War made the German upper echelons a little forgetful, up to the Kaiser, down to the ordinary German people, all firmly believe that they can win quickly, although there are some voices of concern, but obviously this voice does not occupy the mainstream, no matter how strong a country with a light enemy is, it may not be able to defeat its opponent, and France does not need to win, As long as it can be drawn, Germany can be dragged down by virtue of the huge resource advantage of the Entente, and I think the winner is still the Entente! Jiang Baili said his opinion, and then looked at Qiao Yu.

"Patrol envoy, I don't know what you think of the outcome of this war?"

"Hehe, you two might as well guess?"

"Dashuai, looking at your arrangement, I think the Entente will win, but I also have some questions, for example, now everyone mainly thinks that no matter which side wins, the battle will end within a few months, if so, it is not worth it for us to adjust the industrial and commercial structure on such a large scale in Sichuan, does the Dashuai think that this is a protracted war and will be fought for more than a few years?" Wu Tong asked on the side.

Qiao Yu smiled at the two people: "My judgment is that there is no winner, it is just the result of a lose-lose situation, the key to this war is in the first month, if Germany can quickly defeat France, then the victory will be determined, but Mr. Jiang said that the Germans will make the mistake of the winner, that is, excessive arrogance, officially this arrogance makes Germany lose the only possibility of winning, and although the Entente side occupies a geographical advantage, but the three-party intrigue is at most just a residual victory!" ”

Wu Tong and Jiang Baili were both listening to Qiao Yu's words, although they still had doubts about the judgment of this patrol envoy, but they also knew that Qiao Yu had always been extremely accurate in seeing problems, so they believed most of them in their hearts.

"Mr. Jiang, modern warfare is the ultimate competition of scientific and technological resources of an era, after all, it is still necessary to have advanced strategic thinking as a guide, and now the braincase of Europeans has not been completely transformed, and they will pay a heavy price for this!"

The war situation in Europe did develop as Qiao Yu said, the Germans had a smooth journey, but they obviously did not realize that the French were not defeated, but a planned retreat, and finally the Germans pursued to the Marne, and the French and the British expeditionary force were also ready to counterattack, and at this time the war on the Asian side also began.

At this time, the Longkou Beach was full of corpses, and a smell of corpses rushed into the sky, and more than 300 landing troops had all been annihilated here, all of which were naturally done by the German [***] team.

The plan for attacking Qingdao was to have the navy blockade Jiaozhou Bay, and then the army to land at Longkou, penetrate directly into the rear of Qingdao, and conquer Qingdao in one fell swoop, but they got one thing wrong, that is, they knew that the German defenders in Qingdao were only more than 3,000 people, and even if they added temporary mobilization, they would not exceed 5,000 people, so they dared to land with swagger, because it was impossible for Germany to divide its troops to obstruct it.

After a team of soldiers landed on land, they began to camp, preparing sufficient conditions for the upcoming large army, and the soldiers who had been busy for a day rested one after another, and even the sentries were a little tired at this time, just when they were asleep, more than a dozen shells crossed the sky, showing a beautiful arc and smashed into the camp, and in an instant a huge explosion sound came out, and suddenly dozens of soldiers who were still asleep lost their lives.

Other soldiers who were lucky enough not to die rose up to find guns, but at this moment another round of shells fell, and the camp of Yueben had become a sea of fire under the fierce artillery fire, and under the cover of artillery fire, more and more figures jumped up from the darkness, and the rifles in their hands shot hot bullets, killing the panicked soldiers one by one.

The landing troops who came to ambush said that the landing troops were all wearing German military uniforms, but they all had Oriental faces, these were the bandit troops provided by Qiao Yu to Germany, Germany had only barely gathered 5,000 people in Qingdao, and with this point, it was impossible to hold Qingdao, and the governor Melwadeck was also worried, but he actually got a guarantee from the domestic side that there would be more than 6,000 troops to join his side.

The German governor obviously didn't believe this telegram, could it be that he was joking at home, Germany still had so many troops in the Far East, but ten days later, the first batch of soldiers came to Qingdao, which surprised the German governor, among these people there were hundreds of Germans, they were all German workers working in Sichuan, in addition to hundreds of heavily armed Orientals, they were all using German equipment, wearing German military uniforms, if you see yellow skin and black eyes, Melvardek almost thought that this was a German soldier.

However, the governor soon figured out the situation, these troops were all mercenaries provided to Germany by a certain Chinese powerful figure, the number was as many as 5,000 people, and with the joining of these people, the governor had more than 10,000 troops in his hands, which also made the governor's ambitions swell, and the choice of tactics was also diverse.

Of course, the governor still did not believe in the Chinese bandits, so he left all the Germans who had risen together in Qingdao to defend the fortress, and sent 700 Chinese bandits to attack the landing of Yue himself, the leader of these soldiers was named Mingjiang Long, and his men carried a total of 20 mortars to attack the camp of Yueben.

"Big brother, you look at this German equipment is very energetic, if our brothers had this kind of equipment at that time, maybe the Sichuan army would not be able to catch us, or else, we will run away now, and we will not sell our lives to the Germans, this is Shandong, not Sichuan, let's just occupy a place and continue to be the king of the mountain!"

Mixed Jianglong didn't speak, but kept wiping the rifle in his hand, "Third child, in the past few months of road construction in Sichuan, I want to understand one thing, people can't be a lifetime of lack of morality, always have to do a little movement, or just put on this skin in vain, I don't know anything else, but this Shandong is our territory, I said that I and the Germans fought on our family's place, those who were officials didn't dare to come forward, I'm not afraid, it's a rotten life, if you can kill one more person, you won't live in vain!" ”

These bandits may not really understand why they want to beat themselves, but they are all surging with pride from the bottom of their hearts, this time is not the same as the previous robbery, a mortar will be a big mess in the military camp, heavy casualties, most of these bandits are excellent marksmanship, and soon the dead body of the soldier is lying on the ground.
