Chapter 122: The Current Situation in Manchukuo
The "boom" cannon sound continued to sound, Zhang Kai saw that Xu Lanzhou was unrepentant and immediately launched a fierce attack on Longjiang City, dozens of shells shot towards the gate of Longjiang City, an explosion sounded, the city gate that had been reinforced by Xu Lanzhou had not been blown up under the attack of these shells, but was blown out of irregular holes.
"Rush!"
The soldiers of Zhang Kai's army continued to attack frantically, they did not have ready-made siege tools, they could only use trees in the woods outside the city to make some ladders to climb the city, if the ladder was not long enough, it could not attack the city, but at this time their ladder was not long enough, the main thing was that they did not have enough tools and carpentry. "Da da da......" "Bang! Bang......"
The rebels on the city wall were constantly sniping at the Northeast Army, and as soon as they saw the soldiers of the Northeast Army approaching the city wall, they opened fire, and one by one the soldiers lay on the city wall and nervously aimed at the Northeast soldiers and then fired.
The Northeast Army, on the other hand, was sending people to attack while building its own position outside the city walls, and Zhang Kai wanted to use this trench to consume the rebels' troops, and he was not in a hurry to attack anyway. I saw that the soldiers of the Northeast Army cautiously rushed towards the city wall, carrying a lot of explosives, while the soldiers behind were covering them and shooting at the rebels on the city wall. The rebels on the city wall were crushed by the shooting of the Northeast Army, and they all lay on the wall and did not dare to show their heads, at this time the Northeast soldiers ran frantically towards the city wall, their purpose was to blow up the city wall.
"Bastard, shoot me, the enemy is about to rush under the city wall, and if you don't want to die, shoot back!" The rebel officers on the city wall also did not dare to rise on their stomachs, but they were not frightened like those ordinary soldiers and did not dare to fight back, but fought back while lying on their stomachs. When they saw that the enemy was about to rush to the bottom of the city wall, they were almost frightened, and quickly picked up the leather whip and whipped the soldiers next to them a few times, and then loudly scolded the soldiers to fight back, and the soldiers who were whipped immediately abandoned their fear and began to fight back, and the other soldiers who took the lead did not need to be whipped and followed back.
"Woo Woo ......"
A series of bullets hit the bricks on the city wall, splashing a pile of debris, choking several nearby rebel soldiers badly, coughing several times before a soldier softly scolded the soldier next to him: "The enemy's firepower is so damn powerful, we don't dare to take the lead, is that the Mukden army surrendered to the past?" It seems that the Mukden army is even worse than us, if it can be so powerful, then how can the Wehrmacht be even more powerful than this! ā
"Bang bang!" The soldier next to him shot and said: "You know a fart, I heard my fellow battalion commander say that the strength of the Wehrmacht may be similar to that of the Japanese army, I don't know why the governor wants to join the Japanese, how good it is to join the Wehrmacht, the Wehrmacht salary is so high, I am really envious." Recently, the elder of my battalion has been asking me not to be a soldier after the end of this war, and there is no future for me to be a soldier here, and I will become a traitor even if I am not killed by the Wehrmacht in the future! That's to be scolded for the eighteenth generation of ancestors! ā
"I don't think about it so much, go to the fucking traitor, what do you eat at the soldier's house? After being a soldier, the family's taxes can be reduced a little, and my father and mother don't have to work so hard, just don't starve to death this year. Besides, we are just small soldiers, even if we surrender in the future, the Wehrmacht will not do anything to us, just be careful! The soldier's remarks resonated with several other soldiers.
At this time, the life of the people in Heilongjiang is indeed not very good, the worst of the people in the three eastern provinces is the worst in Heilongjiang, Xu Lanzhou in order to continue to expand the army, the tax is very heavy, coupled with the bandits and bandits everywhere, the exploitation of Japanese and Russian businessmen and local landlords, the people here, especially the peasants, often take care of the next meal, starvation is a common thing. And being a soldier is a good way out, even if the salary is dragged and dropped from time to time, they are willing, because the taxes of the soldier's family will be reduced a lot, and they can eat half full at every meal, and occasionally eat some meat, so when Xu Lanzhou announced that he was going to join Japan, although there were many soldiers who were unwilling, but they didn't care who they followed in order to live.
Many of the soldiers in the northeast retreated under the rebels' return fire, but many of them ran under the city walls, and then left the explosives bag there and lit it and ran. After the smoke cleared, I saw a huge pit in the place where the explosives were placed, but the city wall was only blown up a few small pits, revealing the hard stone.
Longjiang City is a very important strategic place of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Heilongjiang and even Manchuria, where the Heilongjiang General's Mansion was set up, of course, the city wall was built very strongly, after Xu Lanzhou took control of Heilongjiang Province, the city wall was partially renovated, and the old part was repaired, after all, as his old nest, he couldn't help but put his energy into it, so he would have the confidence to rely on it to survive, otherwise he would have run away a long time ago!
"Boom......" A few shells were fired into the city, and after a while there was a loud scream, and then the rebel artillery, which had not returned fire, finally began to fire back, as if those shells had angered them.
Zhang Kai rushed towards the artillery with a few officers like a gust of wind, and when he went there, he grabbed the collar of the person in charge of the artillery and rebuked loudly: "Who told you to shoot shells into the city, the people inside are ordinary people, they are our compatriots, how many times have I said before, don't shoot shells into it, stop immediately, do you hear!" "If he continues to bombard the city, he Zhang Kai will definitely have the name of a butcher in the future, if it is a little devil or an old man, he will not mind, but this is an ordinary person in the empire, he will definitely have nothing to do with the high-level of the Wehrmacht in the future, and it will be extremely difficult to even get promoted.
"Ahem, the soldiers didn't mean it, you also know what our artillery looks like, the accuracy is not very high, and it is inevitable that the shot will miss, I will go and let them pay attention, don't have such a big deviation!" After speaking, the head of the artillery ran faster than himself under the angry eyes of the officers.
Zhang Kai originally wanted to scold, but when he saw people running away, he was discouraged, and he also knew the artillery technology of his own army, originally they had not undergone any systematic training when they were under Zhao Erxun, and the artillery was very searching, and some ability was recruited by Zhang Zuolin and others, and now his artillery is still very immature, and when he was on the way, he also asked the artillery of the National Defense Army to train them, otherwise it would be really vegetable.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Just when Zhang Kai attacked Longjiang City, Fengtian Province, the enthroned Prince Su After more than half a month of work, all the institutions of Manchukuo were established in an orderly manner with the help of the Japanese, as if they were a real national government. Prince Su originally wanted to implement the system of absolute monarchy, but in order to win over the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and those people who had illusions about the Manchu Dynasty, he had to cut the strings to implement a constitutional monarchy, and he was very generous in appointing Han Chinese as members of the parliament. In fact, more than half of the people in the state institutions of the entire Manchukuo are Japanese, and most of the officers in the army are Japanese officers, and Japan especially allows people in Manchukuo to have the nationality of Manchukuo and Japan, and even the emperor of Manchukuo secretly has Japanese nationality, not to mention other people. Of course, there are also many Manchu remnants who do not accept Japanese nationality, and still insist that Japan is a state, and Manchukuo, which represents the Qing Dynasty, is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire.
After the establishment of Manchukuo, people from all over the country rushed to the Liaodong Peninsula through various channels and defected to them Manchukuo, especially the Manchus in the imperial capital and Manchuria and the three eastern provinces, and Qin Yu did not let people stop them, but in some places they turned a blind eye and let them go, and the Manchus in the imperial capital walked for nearly one-tenth, and the rest felt that there was no hope after seeing the strength of the empire and did not go. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Qin Yu did not embarrass the Manchus in the imperial capital, and asked those factories and the like to recruit Manchus to work as much as possible, so as not to let them starve to death, and also gave considerable concessions in other aspects, which can be said to be extremely benevolent and righteous, but he had no choice if someone wanted to defect to Prince Su.
According to Chen Fu's idea, it is better to let them go, or to gather those die-hard people who still have illusions about the Manchu Qing and wait for them to be solved in one fell swoop in the future, than to lurk in the people, Manchukuo is just a clown who jumps off the beam, and they don't care about it at all.
In just one month, more than 200,000 people have defected to Manchukuo, of which more than eighty percent are Manchus, and the rest are Manchu loyal slaves who cannot accept the policies of the Chinese Empire, and many Junxian Party and the Republic of China Party have been sent to go undercover. Among these 200,000 people, more than 70,000 young and middle-aged people joined the so-called Manchukuo army, were being trained by the officers of the Japanese army in Lushun, and were also called the counterattack on Mukden, then the entire three eastern provinces, and finally came to Guannei like their ancestors to revive the Qing Dynasty.
So far, only three countries have recognized Manchukuo in the world, Japan, Russia and India, and India is just an attitude expressed by Britain to Tsarist Russia, and other countries will not be guilty of offending the Chinese Empire and recognizing Manchukuo, so Manchukuo is very embarrassed. Although the Entente countries such as Britain and France did not recognize Manchukuo on the surface, they allowed embassies to be set up in their countries and colonies, and also sent some diplomatic ambassadors to set up a small embassy in the capital of Manchukuo. Manchukuo simply did not have enough funds to operate, so all of them were interest-free loans borrowed from Japan, and the mortgaged things were the mines of the three eastern provinces and the entire Liaodong Peninsula, and the arms were also provided by the Japanese army, so it can be said that Manchukuo could not do without Japan and was Japan's godson!
The original 100,000 troops of Fengtian, renamed the Manchukuo Army, went to Fengtian City under the name of "Northern Expedition", and there was a Japanese army of 5,000 people along the way to follow, which was the Kwantung Independent Mixed Brigade.
ps: The provincial capital of Heilongjiang in front of it was written Jianglong, in fact, it was Longjiang, and when I checked the information, I accidentally read the wrong Jianglong, but fortunately someone pointed out the mistake, thank you for pointing out the mistake and pointing out the number of warships in the previous article jù error and giving the construction yì great.
