The retreat of more than 10,000 people was easier said than done, just when the first regiment of the supplementary brigade was coaxed by Ma Jizeng's heavy reward and launched a decisive charge towards the main position of Zhujiaqiao under the fierce fire of the youth army. Zhou Wenbing, Zhang Zhonghe, and Huang Zhenkui have already retreated towards Wenjiaping with their troops.

In the headquarters of the Second Army in Changde, a carrier pigeon from the east sent important news of the retreat of the Beiyang Army. Wan Yaohuang, who had already seen through Ma Jizeng's plan to get out of the shell, snorted coldly at the increasingly prosperous Changde South Gate Wharf outside the window after his judgment was confirmed: "Ma Jizeng, Ma Jizeng, I really underestimated your ability, but it's not so easy to run away after you've entered the urn, right?" ”

It was not easy, on the night of January 16, just when Ma Jizeng was about to start a full-line retreat, the fleet transferred from the Xiangjiang River by Tang Qianming's overseer actually caught fire......

Wu Junmei, male, Han nationality, 27 years old, from Zhuzhou, Hunan, has been working at the dock since she was a child. Because he is brave and fierce and very righteous at the same time, over time, Wu Junmei, who is not tall, has his own prestige among the people who beg for a living at the dock.

At the end of the second year of the Republic of China, He Jian was ordered to set up a military intelligence bureau, and Wu Junmei, who He Jian had known since childhood, was naturally developed into the organization.

However, Wu Junmei is very righteous, and in just two or three years, she has quietly developed more than 40 people in the shipwright team.

And this time in the battle of Changde, Wu Junmei's idle chess can finally come in handy.

Although some people are small, they have a lot of ghost ideas, and Wu Junmei is such a person. The task given to him by the Military Intelligence Agency was to drive away or destroy all the ferries, and this task could be said to be lifeless if it was to be completed. Because Ma Jizeng is not a rookie, he is an old oilman who has led soldiers for many years, a total of 100 big ships, and 5 soldiers are equipped on the ship every day to guard them, and what is prevented is that there is an accident in the fleet at a critical time.

With this battalion of Beiyang soldiers guarded, if you want to easily drive so many ships away, you are really writing science fiction.

However, cats have cat paths, dogs have dog paths, and Wu Junmei has his own tricks, and he is destined to be written into the battle history compiled by the CIA.

On the night of January 16, the entire Wenjiaping area was busy dismantling, packing, and packing up. In the old port where the fleet was anchored, Wu Junmei went with the owner of the ship to invite the battalion commander who guarded the fleet to eat dog meat hot pot.

"Boss, not tonight, didn't you see the lights on Wenjiaping? Our family Zeng Shuai has already sent someone to send a message, there is a big move tomorrow, and if you want to use a boat, my brother will not dare to leave his post without permission. ”

"Battalion Commander Hou, this is your mistake, everyone is in the same boat, that is a family. On this cold day, the brothers who ran the boat finally got Haode dog meat from the shore, and I want to invite you to enjoy your face and eat a hot pot, don't you give face? You are an official, we are the people, so you look down on us, don't you? Wu Junmei used the agitation method.

"No, no, there is absolutely no such meaning, but my brother is a soldier, so I am afraid that I will mistake Zeng Shuai's matter, and it will be done by military law," Battalion Commander Hou hurriedly explained.

"If you don't get in the way, Camp Commander Hou, just eat some dog meat and drink some wine on the boat, and don't get off the boat, and the one who is in charge of the boat is also his brother, and he is not in the way." The battalion commander is a good person after all, and when he heard what the boat owner said, it was naturally difficult to excuse himself.

"I said you southerners, it's just too polite, too enthusiastic, okay, okay, tomorrow I'll point to my brothers to buy a hand. Let's go and see what it tastes like. ”

However, what Battalion Commander Hou didn't expect was that the officer who led the team had just left on the front foot, and the soldiers on the back foot of each ship also received an invitation from the boatmen, except for one on duty on each boat, the remaining more than 400 people were gathered on five boats to eat fragrant dog meat hot pot, and the whole fleet was full of dog meat for a while.

The No. 2 boat was the closest boat to the Wenjiaping side of the entire fleet, and a Beiyang soldier wrapped in winter clothes was shivering in the cold river wind. From time to time, the smell of dog meat mixed with the aroma of wine wafted in front of his nose, and the tall Beiyang soldier was so angry that he scolded: "These grandsons, they know that they bullied Lao Tzu honestly, and actually forced me to stay and guard the ship. After saying that, the soldier couldn't help but look up at the starry sky in the sky, he was homesick, and it had been two years since Zeng Shuai came out of his hometown in Hubei, and his mother was good.

Just as he was thinking about it, two black shadows tiptoed towards him, and Zuihou stretched out a large hand to cover the GI's mouth, revealing his neck backwards. And with a knife in his other hand, he swiped the soldier's neck like a chicken, and the soldier struggled a few times, stopped moving, and then fell to the ground with a crooked body, the same situation happened on almost all ships, and more than a hundred Beiyang soldiers died on this fate.

"Hurry up, pour oil, let the other brothers change boats and leave, give them all the money in the ocean, whether they can run away or not is their own creation. If anyone doesn't listen to the greeting, he will be killed directly, don't miss Brother Mei's big event" A stout man commanded in a low voice in Xiangtan dialect, and the fleet was immediately panicked......

In the cabin, the battalion commander of the greedy cup Hou was drunk, and the situation on the other four boats was similar, but instead of drinking too much, he was given sweat medicine, and he turned over a piece as soon as he drank it. Next, it is easy to say, Wu Junmei glanced at the drunk Battalion Commander Hou and said to the brothers: "The world-shattering business we did today, so there is no room for any personal feelings, and the people on these five boats must die, lest someone find us to take revenge in the future, let's do it." ”

However, Wu Junmei still missed a point, that is, in addition to her own people, there are many boatmen who rely on boats to eat. So on some of the ships, there was resistance from the boatmen, which also made it so that more than 30 boats were not burned in the end.

And because of this delay, about half of the more than 100 brothers who followed Wu Junmei were killed and captured by the Beiyang soldiers who rushed to inquire about it......

Ma Jizeng stared blankly at the burning fleet, and the blazing fire was also reflected on his face, and his face was blue and purple. And Ma Baochen, who had resolutely opposed the retreat before, also believed that Ma Jizeng's judgment was correct, so he stood behind him and didn't dare to speak again.

After a long time, Ma Jizeng lamented: "Go, send someone to give a death order to the Sixth Regiment, let Zhang Songbai blow up all the cannons for me, let's hurry up and run for our lives." ”

Ma Baochen hesitated for a moment and said: "Dashuai, our ten thousand brothers, if we stick here, the young army will be afraid that we will not be able to do it." ”

Ma Jizeng was really in no mood to hang Ma Baochen: "Little Pony, if it is Li County now, we can't stick to it, and we can follow your line of thought." But now you look at this terrain, surrounded by water on both sides, the youth army doesn't need to attack us, repair the position, block us in this field, it won't take half a month, we will run out of ammunition and food, zuihou can only play the white flag. This time, the old man was careless, underestimated the strength of the youth army, and rushed to send troops without even ensuring logistics and supplies, which is dying. Quickly withdraw, I will take the division headquarters on the boat now, cross the Yuan River, and send a telegram to Changsha Lao Tang, asking him to send troops to rescue. As for your side immediately responsible for organizing the blocking line, how many brothers can run out, it depends on God's creation......"

On the same night in Anjiang, Wang Zhenyu's private residence. Wang Zhenyu is taking the school Shen Quan's homework, Shen Quan, who is already nine years old, is currently in the third grade of Anjiang National Primary School, although this kid is usually very obedient, but the taste of men in his bones has also become stronger. Wang Zhenyu is very concerned about the homework of this adopted son, and this matter has also caused the education department to pay great attention to the teaching of national primary schools, which is probably the domino effect.

This afternoon, Wang Zhenyu had been talking to Frankie for an hour. It turned out that the British and French had a huge interest in the rise of Wang Zhenyu. Ah, what kind of rhythm is this, this is obviously the rhythm of looking for an agent.

Wang Zhenyu is not a fool, there is nothing wrong with cooperating with foreigners, but there must be benefits, and if the benefits are low, it is not okay, and verbal support for such a fee-paying thing is even more insensitive.

However, according to Frankie, this time there is a deal to negotiate in addition to diplomatic contacts.

It seems that from the third year of the Republic of China to the present, the steel produced by the two major steel plants in Anjiang and Liuzhou has not been sold except for their own use. In Luyang and Laibin, Wang Zhenyu even set up two large warehouses to stock up on the three million tons of unsellable steel.

Of course, it can't be sold because of the quality, but because Wang Zhenyu has no plans to compete with the Japanese who control the Asian steel market. Not only steel, textiles, oil, pig sideburns and various strategic materials have been hoarded by Wang Zhenyu, but the Xiangxi Development Corporation has forcibly hoarded goods under the huge pressure of losses, resulting in the soaring prices of various materials on the market. Since the Protectorate War broke out at this time, everyone naturally attributed this to the war rather than Wang Zhenyu engaging in speculation.

But you can hide it from the Chinese, can you hide it from the British and French powers who attach importance to data investigation? So they came to the door.

Wang Zhenyu knew in his heart that when he hoarded these materials, he didn't plan to use them in the Protectorate War, and the Beiyang Army that fought Yuan Shikai couldn't use so many materials. From the very beginning, he was trying to sell these supplies to white Europeans so that they would work harder to kill each other. Of course, even if you sell it, you have to sell it at a good price, is it easy for my brother to accumulate this hard work since four years ago? If I don't get some money from you, I'm sorry for myself.
