"Zhuqi Mountain Road is really useless, it can't even deal with a little mob, and it even asks us for help, and it doesn't even figure out how many enemies there are, it's really a shame for the imperial soldiers!" Hyakzuru Shinichi, who was in charge of reinforcements, despised the request for help from Tieshan County, but under the urgency of the other party, Hyakzuru Shinichi also had to bring troops to help.

"Baihejun, I always feel that things are a little unusual, a few days ago, there were more than ten imperial soldiers who were attacked by the Chuanmo River in Chengchuan County, Pingnan Province, and they were shot several times and died, when the mob in Jiangxi County rioted, guns also appeared in the other party's procession, these circumstances have fully demonstrated that there are guns in the rebels, and this riot has been carefully planned, we have to deal with it carefully." Another squadron leader, Hinoki Jimulang, frowned and said, "There are two infantry squadrons in Tieshan County, although two of them have been transferred last month, there are still nearly three hundred people, and they can't stop the rebels' sneak attack, which shows that these rebels are also quite powerful, and we can't take it lightly." ”

"Hmph, under the control of the empire, even if the rebels have a small number of guns, if it weren't for the Zhuqi Mountain Road being too relaxed, the rebels would never have entered the city." Hyakzuru Shinichi was very dissatisfied with Hinoki Jimulang speaking for the other party, "Now our two infantry squadrons, once they arrive, will defeat those ragtag armies composed of just a few chaotic people, and we will not waste our efforts." ”

Through the binoculars, Zhang Xuemin ordered the rebels not to move lightly, although he didn't know what the two Japanese captains in the middle of the team were talking about, but it must not be a good thing. In order to ensure the suddenness of the attack, Zhang Xuemin personally controlled a heavy machine gun.

Hyakzuru was arrogant, but even the cautious Hinoki Jimu Lang never expected that the Korean rebels, who had never been in a good mood, would be able to ambush their regular Japanese army composed of two infantry squadrons while fighting Tieshan-kun to ask for help.

"Hit!" After seeing the other party walk into the ambush circle, Zhang Xuemin laughed fiercely and fired the machine gun first. In addition to being heavier than the Makqin produced in the Northeast, the performance of the Taisho three-year heavy machine gun is very stable, but this time the target of the muzzle has become the Japanese who produced these machine guns.

Dense bullets were fired, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were immediately sieveed.

"Enemy attack! Baga, it's a heavy machine gun, when did these rebels get equipped with heavy machine guns! Hinoki Jimulang was shocked and angry. In order to avoid the shot, he quickly tumbled off the horse.

However, what made Hinoki find it difficult was that the rebels had more than one heavy machine gun, and two ambushed them. The bullets gathered on the other side of the road took the bodies of another six or seven people.

Puff puff... Five or six grenades were thrown at these people one after another. At this time, the Japanese army also began to equip a small number of grenades, but grenades were also very important for the Japanese army infantry melee firepower output, and these rebels actually had them. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Hinoki Jimulang would hardly have believed what he was seeing.

Boom ....

The successive explosions killed and wounded more than 20 people, and in the first exchange of fire, the Japanese army was ambushed and lost one-tenth of its troops.

"Haha, these Japanese soldiers also have today. Fight, we must kill them all today! Li Shuo was very excited, under the suppression of the Japanese army for a long time, the life of the rebels was too hard, and now the salted fish turned over, and under the attack, it became the invincible Japanese army before.

Yes! Li Shuo screamed, was shot in the left shoulder, and then was pressed to the ground by the soldier next to him. The Japanese army did not cover it, and soon began to organize a counterattack based on the relatively inferior terrain. Even in terms of heavy firepower. The Japanese did not have an advantage, and the counterattack was still too sharp.

The sound mingled between the two sides, and from time to time someone was shot and screamed. Two Japanese squad leaders each led a small team, spreading out on both sides of the road, stubbornly blocking the attack of the rebels. Under the exchange of fire, the rebels attrition was much faster than that of the Japanese army.

"Tian Ze-kun. After you break off with another team, you must evacuate here. "Baizuru Shinichi put away his arrogance at this time, fuck, where is this guerrilla, listening to the sound of gunshots, you can also judge that the rifle in the other party's hand is definitely the same as them. Equipped with more grenades than they were. There was also one more heavy machine gun than them. The equipment is not worse than that of these regular troops, and a trace of jealousy flashed in Baizuru Shinichi's heart, when did these guerrillas have such good equipment?

H "Hello! Tian Zechuan took the order and led the team to guard in turn.

"Hey, want to withdraw now? It's late. Zhang Xuemin handed over the heavy machine gun to others to control, and carried a rifle himself, although the lethality of the heavy machine gun is great, but it is the same for another person, he still holds a rifle, one shot at a time.

Killed two Japanese soldiers, watching Baizuru Zhenyi quickly get out of the encirclement, he couldn't help but sigh, the Japanese army is indeed no less elite than the Northeast Army, in this case, it can still counterattack on the ground, and retreat in order in turn. Under the sudden attack, the casualties were three or four percent lower than those of the righteous army, and Li Shuo was also injured.

However, even if the Japanese army can fight, it will have to be all explained here today, it is nearly four times the strength of the opponent, and there are more heavy machine guns, and the equipment is no worse than that of the other side, even if it is consumed, it will have to be consumed by the other side.

"Jin Qiguang, you come with me, fuck, you can't leave a Japanese soldier." Zhang Xuemin roared and called two hundred people to reinforce the weak link of the encirclement, and at this time, the team that was originally hidden in the woods had all been killed, just blocking the retreat of the Japanese army.

"Yaga, damn rebels!" Seeing that the road when he came was also blocked by these rebels, Baihe Shinichi secretly said that it was not good, although the rebels who were chaotic before were still not strong in attack at this time, but they were much more organized. Although the Japanese army was a single soldier, at this time, under the opponent's crowd tactics, the casualties began to increase for a while.

However, even if two or three rebels exchanged one Japanese soldier, the Japanese army could not afford to consume it, and with the continuous attrition of the Japanese army, the defense line became more and more fragile, and after the strength was reduced to two hundred, it was no longer enough to maintain an effective defensive circle, and the rebel army was shrinking more and more tightly. Because of the consumption of ammunition by the Japanese army, the ratio of the two sides began to level out.

Boom, boom! The grenade again knocked over two or three Japanese soldiers.

Zhang Xuemin kept pulling the trigger coldly, and in a shootout, there were already seven Japanese soldiers who died under his gun.

After the rebels threw a grenade that seemed like a divine help and blew up the heavy machine gun in the Japanese army, the Japanese army was already at an absolute disadvantage in firepower. Under the strangulation of two machine guns. No matter how accurate the shooting was, the Japanese troops were so suppressed by the enemy that they were surrounded on all sides and could not raise their heads.

However, the rebels fought very hard in this battle, with nearly 700 casualties and nearly 400 Japanese soldiers, including two squadron leaders.

Out of a lack of understanding of the rebels, in order to quell the turmoil in Tieshan as much as possible, the Japanese troops in the two counties adjacent to each other came to reinforce them, but they were ambushed by the rebels and hit two beautiful ambushes, which was tantamount to a blow to the Japanese army who had been smooth sailing in Korea.

"Yaga!" Utsunomiya Taro was furious, and Jing Tengtaro in front of him didn't even dare to raise his head.

"Yours, incompetent. Unexpectedly, the three counties of Tieshan, Xuanchuan, and Guoshan were captured by that group of rebels one after another, and more than a large number of troops were lost, I really don't know what you are eating, is it possible that after staying in Korea for a few years, all the courage you honed in the Russo-Japanese War has been washed away by time? Utsunomiya Taro unceremoniously slapped each other in the face, "Bastard." You love fishing so much, go to Kyoto and fish for the rest of your life. ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, is angry. This defeat, although it lost a few counties, also exposed the strength of the Korean rebels, and it was no accident that they were able to capture three counties, as well as Monsan in South Pyongan Province. The two counties of Daheung were also almost breached by the Korean rebels, killing and wounding nearly 200 soldiers, who, according to the commanders who fought with the rebels, were well equipped. Almost every rebel had a 38 rifle of the Imperial military standard, as well as an unknown number of German Mauser pistols, German-style wooden-handled grenades, and a sharp weapon of the town army, the Taisho 3-Year heavy machine gun. And in the engagement, unlike before, these rebels showed quite a military element. According to the current understanding, there have been at least four to five well-equipped Korean rebel armies in the vicinity of South and North Pyongan provinces, ranging in number from 1,000 to 1,000. ”

"The empire has not encountered any enemies in Korea in recent years, so that it relaxed its vigilance, only to be caught off guard by the rebels, such a fiasco, in addition to the slackening of the imperial soldiers, the emergence of a large number of advanced weapons in the rebels is the decisive factor, obviously, this turmoil affecting the whole of Korea is planned by someone behind the scenes, and someone has provided a lot of military assistance to the rebels, otherwise it will never bring such a big loss to the empire."

Toyoshi Ohno walked in from the door at the right time, and there has always been no shortage of examples of the following system on the Japanese side, although Toyoshi Ohno's military rank is one level lower than that of Utsunomiya Taro, but as the chief of staff of the Japanese Army Command in Korea, his status is not much lower than him.

"Really? So the northeastern part of China has recently provided a lot of money to the rebels? Have the losses of several counties and counties captured by the rebels been counted? Utsunomiya Taro suddenly calmed down, thought of the strange part, and immediately judged that this matter was caused by the northeast.

"The rebels had a rather purposeful purpose this time, and after attacking several counties and counties, they immediately moved all the grain stored for transport to the empire and transported it into the mountains, apparently intending to fight a protracted war and attack other places at the right time." "The food lost this time is enough for tens of thousands of troops to eat for nearly a year, so it will be much more difficult for the empire to completely annihilate these rebels, and if this uprising spreads to other places and is not handled properly, it will soon affect the empire's rule over Korea." ”

"Immediately mobilize the 19th Division to enter the boundary between South and North Pyongan Provinces, and call the base camp again to send additional troops, so as to trap this guerrilla attack at this time and prevent it from spreading to the southerly side of the Korean Peninsula." Utsunomiya Taro took a big breath, with Japan's high-pressure policy towards Korea at this time, once North Korea receives enough foreign aid, this major turmoil dominated by demonstrations may soon turn into a real large-scale uprising, and the intention of Tohoku's move is not poisonous. "In addition, the matter of aiding the rebels in the northeast should be immediately reported to the base camp, and the aid to the rebels in the northeast of China must be stopped through diplomatic means, otherwise the rebels will be difficult to destroy."

…………

"Marshal, Chen Shufan has rejected the central government's dismissal order!" Ding Cheng handed the telegram of Shaanxi's declaration of independence to Qin Yu and said.

"Declaring autonomy? It's very good, but I didn't expect that after the lessons of Zhang Huaizhi and Zhao Kui, this Chen Shufan still dares to be an enemy of the central government. ”

Qin Yu sneered, if Chen Shufan governed Shaanxi in an orderly manner like Yan Xishan, he might not be able to tolerate him, but although Chen Shufan was not as murderous as his predecessor Shaanxi Governor Lu Jianzhang, he was not a kind person, and he was deliberately taking the post of overseer, but he made a lot of money and planted opium in Shaanxi, so that among the opium smokers in Shaanxi, two or three out of ten people accounted for two or three people, and Shaanxi originally had enough power to feed millions of people, but because of the cultivation of opium, thousands of people in Shaanxi died of hunger every year. Although Chen Shufan sent people over after entering Beijing to give gifts and intercede, Qin Yu did not change his mind of removing Chen Shufan.

"Send an ultimatum to Chen Shufan, order him to obey the central government's order to leave office, if not, cause the local people to start the pain of the sword soldiers, punished as treason, the central government will freeze one of his assets, even after the war, still to him, it seems that the previous punishment of Zhang Huaizhi and Zhao Wei was too light, so that these overseers thought that even if they won the battle, they could run to the concession to get away with it. Today, Lao Tzu wants to make this exception and dispel this kind of luck mentality, lest those local emperors in the south think that they can follow suit in the future. ”

"Inform the 8th Division to move to Shaanxi immediately, fuck, I really think that I can block the Central Army by relying on the location."

After instructing Ding Cheng to transfer troops, thinking of Shaanxi's geographical advantages, if it is blindly attacked from the outside, I am afraid it will be difficult to work for a while, Qin Yu raised the phone again, "Hey, president." ”

"Yuchen, is there anything wrong with calling so late?"

"There is indeed an emergency, Chen Shufan announced that Shaanxi is independent."

"What, bastard, these overseers regard the place as their own private kingdom, and there is no central government, since the central government can level Henan and Shandong, it will naturally be able to move troops into Shaanxi." On the phone, Xu Shichang also said angrily.

In order to pacify the Yasukuo Army in Shaanxi, Duan Hefei sent Zhang Xiyuan's 4th Mixed Brigade and Wang Xisan's 15th Mixed Brigade to Shaanxi. Zhang Xiyuan's side, I asked Cheng Shen from Henan to come forward, and it was not a big problem to win him over, but I had laid off Feng Yuxiang's 16th mixed brigade before, and I am afraid that Wang Xisan may not be willing to obey me. As long as the central army can pass through the Tongguan Danger, the overall situation has been decided, and the president will guarantee it, and I will leave the 4th and 15th mixed brigades. ”

"Okay, I will take the lead in this matter, as long as Wang Xishan has a way out, he will not be willing to stay in Shaanxi as a local army." Xu Shichang on the other end of the phone nodded and said, although disarmament is beneficial to the Republic of China in the long run, it has also offended some local troops. (To be continued......)
