036 Blood Debt
At noon, Lin Zuoda took a team of officers and soldiers to change into civilian clothes and wander around in Jinan City, Lin Zuoda was wearing a Jiangnan silk dress, and a certain black top hat on his head, although he was thin, but he was heroic. said that he was wandering, but in fact, in order to better get close to the Japanese station, he explored their reality and reality.
For the Japanese, Lin Zuoda has no bottom in his heart, and he doesn't know what will happen if he fights these people? But from the bottom of his heart, he was eager to try it with the Japanese, in addition to the rising national contradictions, the military challenge mentality also made him full of curiosity about the Japanese.
In the Northern Expeditionary Army, many officers had the experience of studying in Japan, and learned from other people's mouths that the Japanese Army has distinctive characteristics, and this is an army that has both feudal and loyal monarch ideology and modern training and equipment.
Lin Zuoda clearly knew that if in the past, the Japanese and their army would not be taken into account by the big powers, but since the Battle of Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese army's crushing defeat has forced the Japanese army to enter the field of vision of the Chinese.
Later, with the victory of the Japanese in the Russo-Japanese War, some Chinese people began to fear and worship the Japanese. This short, yellow-skinned unit defeated the burly white-skinned "polar bear", and also gave hope to some Chinese who were eager to strengthen the army, so they rushed to Japan.
Many of the students who went to Japan crossed the ocean to endure humiliation and learn knowledge to serve the motherland, and many of these people later became leaders in the military, literature, and even political fields.
Can the Japanese army fight it? What is the combat effectiveness of such a tyrannical army in China? Such a question put a big question mark in Lin Zuoda's heart.
In the previous battles, Lin Zuoda had always used surprise attacks and onslaught attacks to defeat many troops, and even the Northeast Army, which completely imitated the Japanese Army, was also defeated by Lin Zuoda.
Undoubtedly, on the land of China, the old armies of the warlords are no longer their opponents.
But now an even more important opponent is about to emerge - the Japanese, the Japanese army, the Japanese army armed with modern weapons and feudal loyalty to the monarch, is it terrible?
While his mind was thinking, Lin Zuoda had already arrived at the Japanese garrison in Jinan. Not long ago, more than 3,000 members of the 10th and 63rd Wings of the Japanese army, as well as electronic communications troops, were stationed in Jinan.
At that time, after hearing the news, the officers and men of the Northern Expeditionary Army were extremely angry, and national sentiment and hatred were intertwined, and some officers and soldiers even spontaneously organized and strengthened street patrols.
However, in order to avoid the expansion of the situation, Huang Ke gave an order to the Eastern Route Army: "The enemy does not move, I do not move, continue to observe, and report at any time".
After receiving this order, Lin Zuoda and the others were stationed around the city a few days ago, and did not take the initiative to contact the Japanese.
But how could the patriotic heart of such an arrogant field unit be trapped with a single order?
The East Route Army was based on the graduates of the Xiguan Military Academy in previous periods, and more than half of the officers above the company level in the troops led by Lin Zuoda were graduates of Xiguan. Although the Xiguan Military Academy was originally an eight-month crash course, the soldiers there were full of revolutionary ideas, especially the hatred of the emperor, and this unit was also the most affected.
Therefore, when preparing to attack Jinan, after hearing that the Japanese troops were coming, one of the regiments that first attacked Jinan City shouted that it was going to fight the Japanese. If it hadn't been for Huang Ke's order, I'm afraid that this brave and skilled field force would have eaten the Japanese wing in the city a long time ago.
The current situation is a bit difficult, and Lin Zuo didn't know what to do when he was a freshman, and stalemate became their only way.
This is an old barracks where the Japanese army is stationed, and it can be seen that this was once the barracks of Zhang Zongchang's troops. At the door in front of the station, a military cao wearing a-yellow "change four or five" military uniform stood at the door with a hand* in his hand, and on either side of him were two soldiers who were also wearing a-yellow "change four or five" military uniform.
The soldiers had leggings wrapped around their legs, their rifles were covered with jet-black bayonets, and behind them were snake-bellied barbed wire and sandbag fortifications, in which several three-year-old heavy machine guns showed their black holes, and it was obvious that these Japanese were ready for battle.
"Roar!" Standing at the door, Jun Cao suddenly laughed loudly, it turned out that the Chinese Jun Cao saw a few Chinese women passing by the barracks door, and after seeing them, they were unscrupulously flirting, and several women ran away quickly after seeing them, and the Jun Cao also took out a pistol and shot into the sky, and the scared people ran faster.
"Bastard!" Zhao Ming, the guard standing next to Lin Zuoda, touched his hand to the shell gun on his waist, but was stopped by Lin Zuoda.
"Let's go!" Lin Zuoda gave orders to the few officers and soldiers in civilian clothes behind him, and they were still angry, but they still left here.
But it was not prevented. In the early morning of the third day, shops in Jinan, the spring city, opened one after another, and the order on the street was restored.
The market is bustling, pedestrians are endless, and Jinan City is a peaceful scene at this time. But unexpectedly, after breakfast in the morning, when an unarmed soldier of the garrison of the Northern Expeditionary Army passed through the Japanese warning area, the Japanese soldier on alert saw it and immediately opened fire.
When this matter was just reported to Lin Zuo's desk, bad news came again. That night, when a company of the Northern Expeditionary Army was moving its station, it passed through the Japanese warning area, when the Japanese suddenly opened fire, causing several casualties among officers and men.
That night, the Japanese army moved again, one of their brigades quickly maneuvered, and launched an attack on the two battalions under the command of Lin Zuoda of the East Route Army, because there was no defense, these two battalions of the Northern Expeditionary Army suffered heavy losses, dozens of officers and soldiers were killed on the spot, after creating these bloody cases, even Lin Zuoda couldn't help it, he ordered the whole army to enter a state of combat readiness, ready to clean up the Japanese army.
At this time, Huang Ke, who was thousands of miles away, also took action for this matter. A few days ago, Huang Ke had already set off from Wuhan to Jinan, Huang Ke had an ominous premonition in his heart, he felt that something would happen in Jinan, this was not according to the history books, it was a feeling of his, but he didn't expect an accident to happen in the next few days.
The Northern Expeditionary Army has died, and there must always be an explanation for things, and Huang Ke only has this point of view in his heart.
Because of his tolerance of the Japanese during the Northern Expedition, Huang Ke's reputation in the army and society has begun to decline, and he no longer has the kind of heroic treatment he had at the beginning. For these, Huang Ke said in a word, if he is not in his position, he will not seek his politics, and those who say him do not know the hardships of his position.
After several twists and turns, Huang Ke finally got on the train directly to Jinan. The special train to Jinan sped north on the lane.
In those days, trains were considered a luxury, and because of the fewer lines, the average person rarely took the train when they went out. At that time, the fare was different from now, and the third-class tickets were still in practice, and the windows for selling were also different, so there was a situation where the third-class tickets were crowded and injured, but the first-class ticket window was not cared for.
Huang Ke naturally made a first-class seat, and all the carriages were for him alone. The seats on the bus are like those described in the previous books, "The chair is made of goose down, and as soon as you sit down, your body is tightly attached and soft, and you are held up."
"It's really easy to have money and power at any time!" Huang Ke couldn't help but laugh at himself, in his own era, he had always hated the so-called privilege, but when he also reached this point, he felt that everything was so natural.
Man, what a strange animal.
Thinking of this, Huang Ke's eyes glanced out of the window, and he asked Fourteen Tsai to gently open the curtain over there: the land of Qilu in May was full of vitality, the sky was blue and dazzling, and the gentle sunlight shone in with the car window.
Fourteen, who was standing on the side, put a thin blanket over him and motioned for the others to leave.
Huang Ke didn't fall asleep, he couldn't sleep at this time. Now, the most troublesome problem is the Japanese, and he no longer cares about the last warlord Zhang Zuolin and the like. But if the Japanese don't solve it, how can they kill Zhang Zuolin? Is it really like the Northern Expedition in history to make a detour?
How similar is history? Huang Ke sometimes couldn't help but sigh, could it be that his arrival was just to replace the title of commander of the bald Northern Expeditionary Army? Nothing else has changed? Huang Ke couldn't help but think like this.
Ding-knock! The sound of a big bell sounding the time came, Huang Ke opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound, but it was a big bell tower.
A familiar scene suddenly flashed in Huang Ke's mind: Isn't this the old railway station in Jinan?
In the '90s, the local government forcibly demolished the century-old railway station in the face of unanimous opposition from citizens and experts, citing the fact that it was a symbol of colonialism.
It's ridiculous! Could it be that the Egyptians should have torn down the pyramids because they had been enslaved by the pharaohs? In the final analysis, people who say such reasons still have an inferiority complex in their hearts.
At this time, the guards and staff on the train in the distance began to get busy, and as the train slowly drove towards the station, the scenery of Jinan had been reflected in Huang Ke's eyes.
Great rivers and mountains! The great motherland is really a great country of rivers and mountains. With the sound of the train closing and Jinan Station, Huang Ke bounced up from the chair, he took the big-brimmed hat from the fourteen boys and put it on his head neatly, and then lit the cigar in his hand: "Go!" Let the Japanese see, what kind of army we are? ”
Military flags fluttered, the station was bustling, and the welcoming procession organized by Jiang Xianyun and the Jinan Municipal Government cheered loudly along the train track.
"I'm coming!" Huang Ke waved his hand to salute the welcoming crowd, and he secretly made up his mind in his heart.
