298 Expansion of the battle by 1
After the Manchurian Infantry Regiment suffered heavy losses, there was not much left of the regiment, and the regiment of 10,000 people only drew out more than 800 people who were still alive, plus 2,000 clothed minions, and hurried over.
More than 2,800 people are responsible for patrolling, searching, and guarding, and their manpower is very tight. A platoon, with more than 30 soldiers, had to guard three times the number of prisoners of war, which was very difficult.
And because the soldiers in the camp didn't want to eat, Zhao Yun also ignored the problem of diet. These Manchurian soldiers still had to be responsible for transporting food from outside the city and cooking by themselves, and because they were still in a state of war, it was too late to help search the places, so how could they mobilize more manpower to make fires and cook? There were not enough manpower and supplies, but the Japanese prisoners of war repeatedly complained about the poor food and the poor environment. Angry, these Eight Banners old soldiers roared again and again.
The platoon commander of the guard knocked on the wooden wall with a family heirloom machete and roared at the prisoners of war: "His grandmother's, you turtle grandchildren come to Lao Tzu's territory to burn and kill." I want us to eat and drink for you, get out! A group of Eight Bannermen carried leather whips and whipped them wantonly, and in the face of reality, these prisoners of war finally slowly obeyed and stopped clamoring.
However, an escape plan was secretly brewing.
These camps for besieging captives were crudely built by the Manchurian bannermen, and most of the materials were obtained from the surrounding houses, and even some of the houses were originally private houses.
In the early morning of the second day after the camp soldiers entered the city, more than 10 Japanese prisoners took out their hidden sticks and knives, attacked and killed a Manchurian flag man guarding the wooden house where they lived, and tried to escape from the weakly arranged link on the west side of the prisoner of war camp.
However, at this time, a patrolling Manchurian flag man discovered the scene. Without further ado, aim and shoot!
"Smack!" The bullet hit the Japanese prisoners who were breaking the barbed wire fence and woke up the rest of the Manchurian flagmen who were resting.
Only half a minute later, all the guarding Chinese soldiers had already rushed out of the barracks and surrounded the more than 10 Japanese prisoners.
Seeing that the matter was revealed, they had to drop their offensive weapons such as sticks and kitchen knives and wait to be "captured" again.
The platoon commander came over with a barge pistol in his hand and didn't say a word, just looked at the small group of frightened prisoners of war.
"I really don't want to live, this time you are looking for your own death!" Pacing back and forth, the platoon leader finally dropped such a sentence after half a ring, and turned his back. A Manchurian soldier grabbed a Lewis light machine gun and aimed it at the Japanese prisoners of war.
Seeing that the machine guns were all carried out, these Japanese soldiers began to react strongly, and several people knelt on the ground and said something loudly, probably regretting it. Anyway, the platoon commander didn't understand a word.
The few who did not fall to their knees had a tough attitude and did not say a word. "Go, pull those tough devils to be buried alive!" The platoon commander did not look at them and seemed to act only by temper. More than 10 Manchu soldiers stepped forward, took the Japanese soldiers, and escorted them to nearby houses. The rest of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief, not daring to look around, they just lowered their heads to look at the ground, kneeling on the ground and waiting for disposal. "Leave the rest of the corpse and sweep it away." The words were said very lightly, and even those Japanese prisoners of war who could not understand the Chinese dialect were not alerted to what was about to happen.
"Dada, da, da!" The machine gun rang out suddenly, and several Japanese soldiers fell to the ground before they could react, and the bullets drilled their bodies out of shape, and large blood pools came out one by one, and red blood flowed to the ground.
This scene was all reflected in the eyes of the Japanese prisoners of war looking out from the barracks. From then on, nothing "unpleasant" happened in this small prisoner of war camp, until after the war, when they were escorted to a new prisoner of war camp.
"General Wang, send an order to your subordinates to restrain themselves!" After Zhao Yun received the news that a Manchu banner had intercepted and transported the Japanese prisoners and was preparing to kill the prisoners on the spot, he immediately dealt a blow to this kind of behavior of kicking his nose and face. Knowing that you have a fire in your heart, you can't beat others in a frontal battle, but you can just kill a few people in private to vent your anger, and dare to gather people to surround and block the prisoner transport team, that is, the spirit of Wang Ba in the bones of these Manchu masters has recovered again, and they need to be cleaned up. These Japanese prisoners are the backbone and foundation of the Japanese servant army in the future, and perhaps after boarding Japan in the future, there will be more or less such servant soldiers, but now that they are in China, then these Japanese soldiers will be cherished very much.
commanded the soldiers in the camp to take over these prisoners, and Wang Chengbin severely punished the generals who gathered to make trouble, and only then did he suppress the situation this time.
"Alas!" Knowing that the battle situation this time had been spread, and the news had reached Jixian County, Zhao Yun let out a long sigh. The camp warriors were completely exposed to the world this time, but fortunately, Zhao Yun had prepared for it before. The European "Terracotta" weapons company stood up for the first time and informed the world that the armor of these samurai was the company's latest product. Thin and bulletproof, but the style is a little more retro. The Japanese with a keen sense of smell also found this company for the first time, and after discovering that this company had the support of aristocratic giants from Germany, France, Britain and other countries, they returned in a huff.
However, even with the record of the camp warriors in Tongxian County, the loss of the Manchu Eight Banners this time was too great, to the point that the Manchu nobles in Jixian County could not afford it. And Wang Chengbin, as the main battle faction, naturally has to face more pressure. Of course, if the Japanese general Asada who led the team this time was tied up in front of these people, perhaps Wang Chengbin would be able to feel less pressure.
Just now, Wang Chengbin came again to ask Zhao Yun to send troops to hunt down Asada and others who had escaped from the city. This Asada is also a cunning fox, with more than a thousand remnants of the defeated generals, and even played the trick "golden cicada shell", and slipped out of the encirclement on the periphery of Tong County, although the corporal was damaged, but he did not catch this "leader", Wang Chengbin is really not good to explain to his Manchu compatriots.
After getting Zhao Yun's permission, Wang Chengbin retreated from the house, and only then walked out of Zhao Yun's temporary residence is courtyard, suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him, looked up, and saw that it was his old acquaintance, Timur, and nodded slightly to the person who came.
"General Wang, you are here!" Timur didn't care, walked over, and glanced at Wang Chengbin, "General Wang, please put aside all the things at hand, there is something urgent!" ”
After Wang Chengbin heard Timur's commanding tone, a strange smile appeared on his face, without him, this Timur is the old man next to Zhao Yun, in terms of seniority, Wang Chengbin himself is far inferior to this Mongolian's status in Zhao Yun's heart. What's more, this Mongolian style has always been like this, straight and straight, lacking flexibility, Wang Chengbin has been taught a few times before, so there is no dissatisfaction in his heart at the moment.
Then he looked left and right, saw that there was no one around, and said in a low voice, "General Timur, according to the report of the scouts, the Japanese army on the other side of Tianjin has formed a support army and is rushing to Langfang, preparing to meet the retreat of Asada ......
"General Wang, if you want to do this matter, I will lead 10,000 cavalry to solve it for you, but there is an urgent matter just now, and I am not good at it, so I also ask General Wang to help."
Timur handed a yellowed telegram in his hand to Wang Chengbin, Wang Chengbin only glanced at it, and his scalp was numb, "This assassination was successful?" Is the Prime Minister injured? ”
"Nope! It was discovered, but it was only an executor, and neither the person who answered nor the person who commanded it was caught. ”
"Haven't you found it yet? Do you want me to transfer a few people who are good at interrogation to help? ”
Timur said expressionlessly, "No need, the person who answered and the person who commanded, the assassin had already confessed, but he sent the police from Jixian County to arrest him, and he was let go." Therefore, General Wang needs to command people to dig them out again. ”
"So fast?" Hearing Timur say that the interrogation had been completed, Wang Chengbin "chuckled" in his heart. It was only an hour from the end of the arrest to the end of the interrogation, if it wasn't that the assassin's psychological quality was too poor, it was that the interrogation of Timur and others was too powerful, and this speed and efficiency were comparable to the Jinyi guards of the Ming Dynasty. However, if it can be sent to assassinate, the psychological quality will definitely not be bad, so at the first time, Wang Chengbin judged the situation to be the latter, and he couldn't help but feel a cool breeze behind him.
Who is this stabbed? Is it worth such a big fight between Timur and Wang Chengbin?
At this time, the prime minister was Liang Shiyi, who was selected by Zhao Yun, and pushed this person to power, and Zhao Yun took a fancy to this person's ability to dance with long sleeves. And Liang Shiyi did live up to Zhao Yun's expectations, and after Zhao Yun stripped off the heavy burden of military spending, Huaxia's finances began to get on the right track. Although he suffered a major drought in his second year as prime minister, Russia and Japan also suffered the same situation. However, Huaxia, which had the support of camp farms, used work for relief, greatly developed water conservancy, and exported a large amount of grain to Russia, and Huaxia not only did not have financial difficulties, but also improved. It can be said that after Liang Shiyi came to power, he did not do anything prosperous, but he also had the credit of resisting foreign economic invasions and putting China's economy on the right track under the eyes of wolves, and continued to lay a solid foundation for light industry. If Liang Shiyi is assassinated, then Zhao Yun really can't find someone who matches his prestige and financial ability for a while. Therefore, Zhao Yun was very concerned about this and ordered Timur to chase Wang Chengbin to solve the matter.
However, compared with Liang Shiyi's economic ability, his luck is far from the same. First, because he had vigorously raised funds to support Yuan Shikai to become emperor, and also initiated the formation of a national petition federation to request the Senate to change the national system to invite favors. After Yuan Shikai's death, he was listed as the culprit of the imperial system and was wanted. The second is because when he came back again, the direct Cao Kun, especially the direct Wu Peifu, was against Liang Shiyi's formation of a cabinet. When Zhang Huzi recommended Liang Shiyi to form a cabinet, he tried his best to bring Cao Kun in as one of the recommenders. However, Wu Peifu repeatedly sent telegrams to Cao, persuading him to leave the land of right and wrong in Jixian County, not to be in the way of his feelings, and to be used by others.
