Chapter 147: Cameo Pirate
Yang Feng's free guns to the families of all the soldiers of the security division caused an uproar in Pingjin and Tianjin, and the Chinese rulers have always played the policy of weakness and ignorance of the people, and in the eyes of those traditional scholars, it was simply the feeling that the sky had fallen, and the original positive image of Yang Feng in the media immediately disappeared.
All kinds of accusations even drowned out the sound of guns and cannons in Chahar, anyway, Duolun has not seen the possibility of falling so far, Sun Dianying's is still slowly moving south, the Japanese puppet Mongolian coalition army is helpless against this behemoth that has shrunk into a group, and can only watch it approach Duolun little by little, and now it is less than fifty kilometers away from Duolun, and the Japanese army that continues to block him can only give way, and now Yang Feng's jeep convoy has begun to attack them from time to time with speed.
Although Feng's Ministry of Public Security retreated to Chahar territory according to He Yingqin's request, it always maintained a state of sortie, and the Japanese puppet army opposite him did not dare to go north again, and the two sides were in a stalemate there.
Since there is not much to care about in the war in Chahar, then everyone's attention naturally turned to Yang Feng, although at this time the people can also say that guns are rampant, and the national government has no law prohibiting civilians from owning guns, but after all, this thing is quite expensive, and the vast majority of ordinary people cannot afford it, so the number of guns in the people is still within an acceptable level.
In fact, Yang Feng did order 50,000 revolvers from the Colt Company in the United States, and in addition, he almost wiped out the revolvers in the hands of those arms dealers in Shanghai, and then sent them to Tianjin urgently.
No one can predict what such a huge number will produce, although every pistol issued by Yang Feng has been recorded at the police station, but no one dares to guarantee that there will be 50,000 more armed personnel in the city. What impact will it have on society, even his father-in-law advised him to be cautious.
Of course, the most headache is the Japanese, on the first day of Yang Feng's revolver, two Japanese killers who still don't know the way to touch the house of a security brigade officer, it just so happened that the officer's father had also been a soldier before, and he did not hesitate to find out that the newly arrived revolver raised his hand is two shots. Two unlucky Japanese killers were killed and wounded, and they were eventually taken away by the police station, who were identified as indeed Japanese, and among them was a senior soldier in the Japanese garrison at Haikoji Temple.
At this moment, Yu Xuezhong came to his senses, and directly called the Japanese consul and Umezu to ask them to give a reasonable explanation for this matter.
"The two of you recognize it clearly, don't admit it wrong, it's hard for me to believe that they will be soldiers of your army, and I don't rule out the possibility of admitting mistakes. If they are not your soldiers, then we are ready to directly pull out the gang, cut them off and then hang their heads on the city gate to show the public, only in this way can the anger of the people of Tianjin against these gangsters be appeased. Yu Xuezhong said sincerely.
Then what else is there to explain, Umezu's subordinates are not spies and ronins, his subordinates are all regular soldiers, if people are publicly cut off their heads, he will not expect to be a soldier in the future, so he can only pinch his nose and admit that he is not strict in governing the army. The soldiers under him actually committed robbery.
"I'm so sorry!" He bowed and gritted his teeth and said to Yu Xuezhong.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. There are not a few black sheep yet! Yu Xuezhong smiled and waved his hand and said generously.
Since Umezu has admitted that they are Japanese, he can only let him take people away, after all, there is such a thing as extraterritoriality, but Yu Xuezhong is also rare to be happy in front of Umezu.
Moreover, this incident was quite a sensation, and the newspapers in Pingjin and even the whole country were hyping up the fact that the Japanese soldiers were robbing the civilians, although they had often done so before. But it was the first time that he publicly admitted that Umezu had retained his prestige among the soldiers, but the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to wipe his ass, and Ariyoshiaki, who was provoked by all kinds of ridicule, ignored the taboo that the two sides did not belong to the same system. Personally called off the follow-up revenge they had planned to Umezu.
"Oh, you didn't see Umezu at that time, but now I want to laugh when I think about it!" On the mahjong table of Zhang Zuoxiang's house, Yu Xuezhong showed off proudly.
"Look at it, I still said one by one that I didn't shoot the right shot, what disturbed the peace, and what encouraged banditry, if I hadn't fired the gun, this would be another murder case today, how good is this, the murder was avoided, but it made us feel good in front of the Japanese!" Yang Feng, who was sitting opposite him, said.
"However, there are advantages and disadvantages to the proliferation of guns, and in this situation, the benefits do outweigh the disadvantages." Ma Zhanshan, who was the opposite of Zhang Zuo, said that old bandits like him knew the benefits of having more civilian guns.
"How is the situation in Duolun, Shoushan can still hold on, right?" Zhang Zuoxiang put aside this topic and asked Yang Feng.
"There is nothing to do, there are reinforced concrete fortifications, with my artillery and aircraft to provide support, the Japanese don't expect to take Duolun, and Sun Kuiyuan is almost there, there is no point in the two families and the Japanese will fight again." Yang Feng said and looked at Zhang Tingshu, who was standing behind Zhang Zuoxiang, and said: "Brother Wei Jiu, you have nothing to do at home, it is better to go to Shoushan to help, he is short of people who can fight now, and now Sun Fumin is there to help him command, but I can't do without Fumin here, and Brother Alarm Zhong, you might as well persuade him, anyway, they are all fighting the Japanese, where is the difference?" ”
After Zhang Xiaozhuo ordered the 112th Division and the Second Cavalry Division to go south, Zhang Tingshu and Huang Xiansheng both resigned, and now they are both idle in Tianjin, the military quality of these two people is stronger than Feng Zhanhai, especially Huang Xiansheng, and Zhang Tingshu and Feng Zhanhai are cousins, and there is no identity barrier.
Zhang Tingshu was obviously a little moved, he was indeed enthusiastic about resisting Japan, and now Feng Zhanhai was fighting a bloody war with the Japanese in Duolun, and he was also a little itchy in Tianjin.
"Go if you want! It's all your own family, and you can't be badly treated by your cousin. Zhang Zuoxiang said.
Since he had spoken, Zhang Tingshu naturally had nothing to hesitate about, and discussed with Huang Xiansheng, and the two simply returned to Beiping with Yang Feng, and then flew to Duolun by plane.
At this time, Sun Dianying had withdrawn to Duolun, his way was not as simple as retreating, the more than 30,000 days of besieging him and the puppet-Mongolian coalition army made him wear out at least 5,000, and his own losses were about the same, after all, the quality of the old bandits was still a lot worse than that of the Kwantung Army, but the other side had the Mongols to pull back. In addition, Sun Dianying has air support, and his combat effectiveness is basically flat.
It is said that his withdrawal from Duolun means that there is no point in this war going on, but it is obvious that both sides do not think so, and the three parties of Japan and Mongolia are still blocked on the periphery of Duolun, and it seems that there is still a protracted war. It seems that the Japanese did make Sun Dianying's robbery team angry, so they simply took advantage of the opportunity to spread out in the winter and directly blocked the house.
Sun Dianying will also not be reconciled, the reclamation points he worked so hard to establish in Shanbei will be thrown away, not to mention that he does not agree, even the bandits who have just tasted the sweetness under his command do not agree, cutting off people's wealth is equivalent to killing their parents, and the old bandits are gearing up one by one to swear to kill Yinshan.
However, a heavy snowfall temporarily prevented further movement on both sides, and transportation difficulties made it meaningless for Yang Feng's mechanized troops to remain in Duolun. Since there was no large-scale war in a short period of time, Yang Feng simply withdrew his men and horses together with Sun Liren, and after Huang Xiansheng and Zhang Tingshu arrived in Duolun, Feng Zhanhai gave Huang Xiansheng the post of chief of staff of the 63rd Army and gave Zhang Tingshu his part-time position as commander of the 91st Division.
His 63rd Army should have three divisions in its official establishment, but the other two divisions were only used for him to make up for him, and they were not under his command at all, and now one was transferred to the south by the bald guys. One was stationed in Guannei, and he actually had a 91st division in his hands. However, this division is a full-fledged division, which is different from those who dare to call a division for three or five thousand.
The Chahar Provincial Government in Zhangjiakou was very lively, and there were more than a dozen tables at the wine banquet alone, and the snow was falling heavily outside, and the inside was staggered, and Sun Dianying was so drunk that his face was pockmarked. I couldn't stop thanking Yang Feng and the 29th Army for their help.
"It's all my own brothers, so I don't need to say these kind words, but how to fight after the heavy snow, we have to discuss it carefully." Yang Feng said.
"Brother Yang has any ideas, just say it, as long as you can use the 29th Army, you will never shirk." Song Zheyuan said.
"Let's take this opportunity to settle the situation in Inner Mongolia. Now the southern Rong family also intends to engage in blending, the demand for wool will be greater and greater, I will also get more long-wool breeding sheep, so as not to let foreigners earn our wool money, Inner Mongolia we must control this place in our hands, if necessary, you might as well pull Fu Zuoyi to do it together, Chahar is now in our hands, if we take the two alliances of Ulanqab and Xilin Gol, the entire Western Inner Mongolia will become our pasture.
What I mean is that Brother Sun's side is holding the people of King De, the 29th Army sends troops to dig out his nest, and then goes around to the back to attack the enemy army north of Duolun, and the front and back of these people will inevitably be defeated, and then force them directly into Rehe, so that no one on the grassland will dare to resist us, as for the remaining herdsmen, as long as there are enough benefits, they will not care who is on their heads!
Then find a few obedient princes to raise, it's really not possible to make a living Buddha to offer, isn't there one in Bailing Temple? When the time comes, let's go to worship together, as long as we help us say good things among the Mongolians, I Yang Feng will raise him in the future. Yang Feng said.
I have to say that his proposal is very tempting, now there are not many herdsmen in Inner Mongolia, a total of hundreds of thousands, living in such a vast grassland is indeed a bit of a waste, at this time the Inner Mongolia desertification is not so serious, many later deserts are still good grassland, of course, if Yang Feng is allowed to do this, the consequences will not be easy to say, but this Guan Twenty-nine and Sun Dianying, they know that such a vast grassland is all used to provide wool for themselves, what a huge mountain of gold.
"Our brothers don't have outsiders here, so let's just tell the truth, what are you fighting so the battlefield? Isn't it to lead the brothers to earn a family business for their children and grandchildren? Now the opportunity is in front of you, it is up to you to seize it, and I also need to explain that the pastoral area can not only be used for wool, but also for leather goods and meat processing. Yang Feng then said.
After fooling a group of old warlords into enthusiasm, Yang Feng returned to Beiping with his mechanized troops with satisfaction, and was naturally warmly welcomed by the people in Beiping, after all, this was the first expedition of the Beiping soldiers, and there were no casualties, anyway, they were providing artillery support, and with those ten 2C3 cars, it was impossible for the Japanese army to have shells that could hit their heads.
However, a lot of money was spent, with almost 100,000 rounds of 37-mm anti-aircraft artillery shells alone, more than 3,000 rounds of 152-mm heavy artillery shells, not to mention 12.7-mm bullets.
"Ma's, it's a big loss, it's all because of these little Japan. They provoked trouble for Lao Tzu to spend money, but if they didn't do it, they had to think about getting the money back. Yang Feng looked at the various consumption during this period of time and found that he had lost at least two million oceans, of course, this was calculated according to the prices of this era.
Think of a way to get it back? The money had to be made from the Japanese, and it couldn't be on existing projects, where Yang Feng was thinking about how to make a windfall. Jiang Xiao walked in from the outside first, and read a newspaper in his hand as he walked.
"This Tama little Japan is too deceitful!" He angrily slapped the newspaper on the table in front of Yang Feng.
"What's the matter? How can the Japanese provoke you, besides, even if you are angry, you should go to Dongjiaomin Lane, there is a fart to run here! Yang Feng picked up the newspaper with a strange voice, and then his eyes lit up.
He finally knew how to get his investment back from the Japanese.
The newspaper said that the anti-smuggling team of the Tianjin Customs had an exchange of fire with the same group of Japanese armed smugglers in Luanxian County, and was subsequently attacked by the Japanese Kwantung Army stationed in eastern Hebei, killing two members of the anti-smuggling team and injuring more than a dozen others.
It was found that the smugglers were carrying at least more than 500,000 silver dollars. It was about to be sent to Qinhuangdao and then loaded on a ship to be shipped to Japan, such a thing actually happened a lot during this time, since the Japanese army entered eastern Hebei in the name of protecting legitimate merchants, under the pressure of them and the traitors, the anti-smuggling team had to withdraw from eastern Hebei and only operate along the Luan River.
Even so, clashes continued to occur from time to time, but this was the first time that the Japanese army had openly provided protection to smugglers. It seems that the number of silver dollars is indeed a bit too large.
was so big that even Yang Feng was a little tempted, and sent him away to show his patriotic feelings in name. In fact, it was Jiang Xiaoxian, who came to take the sheep and pull some good things from Yang Feng, and he hurriedly drove to Tianjin.
"Boss, I found out that the goods belonged to Tianjin Zhengjin Bank, and because it was inconvenient for me to come forward, I hired a group of armed ronins. Now it has been sent to Qinhuangdao, and tomorrow the Japanese merchant ship Daikomaru will leave Qinhuangdao, and it is estimated that it will be loaded on this ship. ”
In an ordinary house in Tianjin, a half-old man with thief eyebrows and rat eyes bowed respectfully to Yang Feng, who was sitting in the living room drinking tea.
This is one of Yang Feng's intelligence strongholds. Before he left for the United States, he felt that the group of talents given to him by Sun Dianying was a bit wasteful, so he simply scattered them, received a monthly allowance from Jinyuan, and then mixed into the three sects and nine streams in Pingjin and Tianjin, listened to all the information related to the Japanese, and then gathered them into several strongholds, sorted out valuable content, and then handed it over to Jinyuan, and directly handed it over to Xiaohui.
It should be said that these old bandits have done a very good job, although they are still far from the standard of spies in Yang Feng's eyes, but small things like asking for some news have been done very well.
"Good, good job! Follow me to have your good days. Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction, threw him a gold bar in the flattered gaze of the other party, and then left this remote courtyard under the escort of bodyguards.
He was going to go out to make a cameo appearance as a pirate, turn the shuttle into a submarine, and then block the sea off Qinhuangdao, sink the Japanese merchant ship, and get the silver dollars inside into his own hands to make up for the losses caused by the Japanese.
At eight o'clock in the morning of the next day, in Qinhuangdao Port, a thousand-ton Japanese merchant ship was slowly leaving the shore, and in the captain's room, a Japanese wearing a kimono said to the captain with a solemn face: "Nomura-kun, be careful, this batch of goods must not make any mistakes." ”
"Mr. Matsumoto, please rest assured, there will be no accidents, there are warships of the Imperial Navy, and the anti-smuggling ships of the people of China will not dare to come at all." The captain said with a smug face.
Just as they were talking, on the sea not far from them, a thin snorkel stretched out, and a small submarine less than ten meters long was quietly suspended under the water, and Yang Feng in the submarine was carrying a wine bottle in his hand, staring at the big Gu Pill under sail with eager eyes.
The water was too shallow, and even if the ship sank, it would be difficult to submerge it all, which was not suitable for his work, and he had to track a distance.
The small submarine slowly approached the big ancient pill, and then quietly stuck to the bottom of the boat, and was taken out for more than two hours, at this time the sea depth was enough, Yang Feng immediately prepared to start working.
The Japanese on the Daikomaru didn't know that the guy under the water was preparing to play dissection on them! Captain Nomura was holding up his binoculars and spitting to Matsumoto next to him to introduce the destroyer in the distance.
"This is the best destroyer in the world, the Empire's Fengfeng-class destroyer, the fastest can even reach forty knots, no warship at sea can be faster than it, my son is serving on this warship, maybe we will be able to meet him soon."
As soon as he finished saying this, he suddenly felt a shake under his feet, followed by a piercing sound of metal cutting.
"What's going on?" Matsumoto, who had been sitting in the office until now, immediately grabbed Nomura's collar in a panic and yelled.
Nomura was also confused.
"Go down and have a look!" He grabbed a panicked crew member and yelled.
It was then that the bow of the ship began to sink slowly.
"Signal for help!" As soon as Nomura saw the sinking speed, he knew that the bottom of the boat was leaking, and it was not an ordinary leak, in fact, Yang Feng was humming a song to play cutting for him at this time!
The huge circular saw with a diameter of one meter turned wildly, not to mention the thin steel plates of the hull, and even the ribs of the ship were sawn off one by one, and the Daikomaru, which was full of cargo, completely sank to the bottom of the sea in a few minutes under the watchful eyes of more than a hundred crew members on the destroyer that was coming at high speed in the distance.
By the time the destroyer arrived, there was only a dissipating whirlpool and a few scattered debris on the surface, and just under the water, a lobster-like monster was tearing open the hull piece by piece, dragging out the large boxes full of silver dollars one by one and stuffing them into his stomach.
"Mah, why are there so many?" At this time, Yang Feng realized that his intelligence was wrong, this is definitely not only 500,000, I am afraid that there are 350,000. (To be continued......)
