With the actions of the Japanese army, war has also become inevitable.

"Fellow, are you alright?"

Standing in front of the door of a house, a young soldier who looked to be in his early 20s asked softly. Perhaps because of the training, the soldier's body is very strong, although he is not very handsome, but the black 11-style military uniform on the body makes people look very energetic.

At this time, the soldier and several companions almost carried their weapons on their backs, and carried some furniture or something in their arms.

"It's all right," an old man walked out of the room, carrying something important. As he walked out of the room, the old man looked back at his home with some reluctance, and then looked at the soldiers. “……… Sir, when are we going to move back..."

"This..."Hearing the old man ask, the soldier at that time smiled bitterly. Don't call me sir, I'm just a soldier, and I can't answer your question, this is for the Japanese..."

The old man sighed, and although he was not satisfied with this answer, he could not say anything more, for he also knew that the soldier was telling the truth.

"Forget it, let's go, I hope the government has arranged a place to live..."

"Don't worry," the soldier said with a smile as he walked beside the old man. We still made the place where you live, although it is a little simpler, but it is absolutely no problem to live..."

Just after some contact, the old man felt good at a few soldiers, so he was relieved to hear him say this.

After walking out of the courtyard, several people walked in the direction of the village entrance with large bags and small bags of things. Along the way, you can see many soldiers helping the villagers to move their things, looking like they are going to move.

"It's a good place..."Looking into the distance, you can see the vast sea. There are also many fishing boats parked on the shore.

"Of course..."Talking about his village, the old man suddenly showed a proud expression on his face.

Either way, it is a fishing village, with many fishing boats anchored on the shore, and nets and other tools used for fishing hanging in the homes of the villagers—————— all of which have been removed by this time.

Although they were going to evacuate at this time, it was better not to bring some bulky things with them. But for these ordinary fishermen, the guy who eats is probably more important than his own life. The people in the army were also a little helpless about it.

At the entrance to the village, a number of IDF trucks and horse-drawn wagons are parked there. Some soldiers stood on top of the truck, helping the villagers carry their belongings, and at the same time, in order to avoid messing up afterwards, the soldiers also wrote down the names of the owners of the items with pens. Everything seems so well organized. If...

If there is no noise next to it...

"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving, I'm not going to die!"

"Why did you let us move, and we won't leave anything!"

Also in the village, while most of the villagers had already decided to move out of the village, some villagers stood in their homes and yelled at the soldiers who wanted to help them leave.

This is probably an idea of most people, but compared to people in other countries. In this regard, the Chinese people are obviously more stubborn, especially some guys. has even been stubborn to the point of not knowing whether to live or die.

The same is true of the people in this fishing village, where the vast majority of people cooperate with leaving, but there are still a few who are reluctant to leave despite the persuasion of the army. Affected by this, some villagers who had been cooperating with the work also became hesitant—————— after all, a few people were willing to leave their homes.

Behind the shouting men, several women and children were looking at their husbands or fathers with frightened expressions, not knowing what to do, and in front of them, the soldiers who were supposed to help them evacuate were also embarrassed.

"Fellow, listen to us, it's really dangerous to stay here..."

"Yes, it won't be long before this place will turn into a battlefield, wouldn't you wait to die if you continue to stay here?!"

The soldiers persuaded each other, but the men still said nothing and did not want to leave.

At this time, if it is replaced by a person with a little knowledge, maybe it will be counter-sprayed soldiers: 'Your duty is to defend the country, and now not only can you not do anything about the enemy, but you will let us taxpayers (the word was born earlier?) Moving, do you know the shame...'

'The soldiers can't even protect the common people, what's the use of asking you...'

But after all, these are just ordinary fishermen, and they don't know so much about the big truth. So they just stood there and said nothing and didn't want to leave, and after a long time, the soldiers who were still persuading them were also annoyed...

In the final analysis, they are not made by clay people after all, even if they still have three points of fire, let alone them. At this time, the military discipline of the army was usually not very good, and although the national defense force was stronger, it could not be compared with the armies of later generations, not to mention that many armies at this time were still transferred from some local armies.

Originally, things have come to this point, and they are already a little reluctant to care about these ignorant people. Anyway, they are looking for their own death, so what do they have to do? They've done their job anyway.

But the military order is like a mountain, and the order has been issued from above to evacuate everyone, and no matter how angry they are, they dare not go against the military order. And the military order was there, coupled with the little anger in his heart, the most stubborn gritted his teeth, and the soldiers who were supposed to help simply tied up the guys who didn't say anything, and then got a few rags to plug their mouths, so that the world was finally quiet...

On the other hand, after seeing the brutal methods of the army, the villagers of the fishing village became much more cooperative—————— or more honest.

Obviously, the scene just now also made one thing clear to them, that is, although these soldiers in front of them seem polite, it does not mean that they will not use some rough methods. If you insist like this, you will annoy them. I'm afraid it's going to be a bit of a bitter end.

How to put it...

Maybe people are like this, after learning that the other party won't do anything to them, even if they know that the other party can kill themselves with their fingers. But people can still become unscrupulous. In turn, the situation will be very different, and people will become much more honest.

————————————————————

Seeing that the thorns had been cleaned up, all the villagers became much more cooperative, and the officer in charge of the transfer of the village breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time regretted that he had not done this earlier.

But he also knows that there is a reason for it. It must be okay to do this, after all, there is a reason there, but if you don't say anything, you can do it. Then he'll have to be careful with military law.

Although the military discipline of the Wehrmacht is relatively relaxed, and soldiers are even allowed to go to the Qinglou to relax and relax on their rest days, the military discipline in some places is particularly strict, especially it is strictly forbidden to disturb the people. In severe cases, he may even be shot. So if there is not enough reason, he does not dare to do anything to these ordinary people.

About half an hour later, as the last truck was filled, the army gradually drove away from the village. At the same time, similar actions continue in other villages.

As a latecomer, Yan Shao was well aware of the attitude of the Japanese towards civilians, and of course it could not be in the case of imminent war. Still throwing the common people at a distance, wouldn't that be throwing them to the Japanese and letting them kill?

(September 3, 1914.) Japanese Army Lieutenant General Kamio led 30,000 men of the 18th Independent Division to land at Longkou on 24 ships. During the heavy rain, the Japanese army was blocked in the Laojie River, looted property, raped women, and shot the masses in the area of Longkou and Huangshan Pavilion. Later, they attacked Qingdao. —————— excerpt from "Longkou City Chronicles". ）

Therefore, before the war broke out, Yan Shao had already ordered the troops in Shandong to evacuate the people in some areas where the war might break out, especially the area near Longkou Bay, and some other coastal fishing villages or villages had almost been evacuated.

Fortunately, this time the Wehrmacht brought a lot of tents and made many camps on the outskirts of some cities, so although the residents of these villages and towns were numerous, they were able to stay for a while. What's more, in addition to tents, the local government has also found many empty houses for them to live in.

At the same time, the food problems of these people will also be solved by the local government—————— but Yan Shao also knows that with their words, I am afraid that nothing can be solved, after all, it is only half a year before the founding of the People's Republic of China, even if there are some savings, it is a drop in the bucket.

However, at this time, 150,000 army troops were assembled in Shandong, and in order to meet the food ration problem of these army, a large amount of supplies were hoarded in Shandong. Just moved a little bit of the material, and the problem was solved.

As for those who are reluctant to migrate in the process...

Despite the fact that this was their personal freedom, the army carried out forced relocations, the more radical of which was like the one above, tying people up and waiting for the locality.

On the other hand, despite all kinds of annoyance and struggles in the process of going, after arriving at the place, these people who didn't like to come stayed all for one reason...

The food was so good...

Usually, these villagers eat at home, and the food cannot be said to be too bad, but it is definitely not good, and as for meat, it is rare to eat it several times a year. But when I got to the barracks, I didn't say anything else, I could eat pork and beef in the cans at least three times a week, as well as canned fruits, white flour steamed buns and other things...

You must know that these are all free of money, although these villagers were a little reluctant when they came, but after a few days, they were happy.

If they are allowed to go back at this time, I am afraid they will not want to go back.

After all, when you are at home, there is no such thing as a good thing to be able to eat without working.

————————————————————

On August 25, dozens of warships slowly sailed to Longkou Bay.

"Kamio-kun, that's your destination."

Standing inside the bridge, Yuzaburo Kato pointed to the land in the distance and smiled at Mitsutomi Kamio.

"It seems that the Chinese don't seem to have any..."

"It's not surprising." Kamio Mitsutomi shook his head. "With you here, unless the Chinese are extremely stupid, it is impossible to show up here at all..."

"You're right." Heard Kamio Mitsutomi say this. Yuzaburo Kato's face showed a look of pride, but that pride turned into regret. "It's a pity......... It seems that this time there will be no chance for our navy to play..."

Speaking of which, when looking at Mitsutomi Kamio. Yuzaburo Kato's face also showed a little envy. "I envy you..."

According to the information obtained by the Black Dragon Society and the Japanese government itself, the main ships of the Chinese Navy were almost all concentrated in the ports of Shanghai and Fuzhou, and they had not moved at all, in other words, the only opponent they had to face this time was the Chinese Army—————— Kato Yuzaburo did not doubt the authenticity of this information, although in this era without radar and reconnaissance aircraft, it was not easy to find a fleet in the vast sea. However, the three ships 'Fengyang', 'Yunyang' and 'Qingyang', as well as other warships, were all parked in the harbor, and these steel behemoths were surprisingly large. Even if you don't walk into the military port, you can see from a distance that there is no possibility of the intelligence department making a mistake.

I don't know how many people in Japan regard this navy as a thorn in their side and want to take this opportunity to completely destroy this navy, which has recovered some strength. Yuzaburo Kato is also supportive of this matter. But the Chinese had no intention of sending the navy at all. Even if there are some naval personnel in Shandong, I am afraid that there are few people, and since this is the case, the idea of Kato Yuzaburo and others naturally has no possibility of being realized.

And considering that it is impossible for the Chinese to engage the army within the range of the battleship's naval guns, although the Japanese navy is very large this time, the role this time is likely to be just a spectator, thinking of this, Kato Yuzaburo naturally feels very regretful.

You must know that the contradiction between the Japanese army and navy has been going on for a long time, and this time if the army wins a big victory. And if the Navy is just a spectator, then the Navy's position will be embarrassing.

————————————————————

In Longkou Bay. Small boats full of soldiers were rowing towards Longkou Bay.

And inside and outside the bay, the navy plays the role of soy sauce.

I can't say the same thing, although at this time Kato Yuzaburo and they don't have to worry about being attacked by the Chinese navy. But even so, Yuzaburo Kato was still not careless. With the exception of the First Fleet's large ships, which were concentrated in and around Longkou Bay, the Second Fleet's armored cruisers and other ships cruised outside the bay to avoid any surprises—————— although neither Kato nor anyone else thought that this would happen.

Standing on the deck of the flagship "Settsu" and looking at the sea full of small boats full of army soldiers, Yuzaburo Kato let out a long sigh.

He never imagined that something would suddenly happen at this time, and then let all these armies in front of him go to the west—————— which can be said to be the most in line with the interests of the navy. But Yuzaburo Kato also knows that this is just a thought.

"What's more, this time the army has gathered nearly 100,000 people, if there is really any accident, it will also be a great loss for the empire..."

On the other side, after making sure that there were no problems in the bay, Mitsutomi Kamio also boarded the boat.

About ten minutes later, the boat docked on the shore.

"Your Excellency..."

As soon as Kamio Mitsutomi came ashore, several officers walked over, and among them were two people dressed as civilians.

"How?" Mitsumi Kamio asked softly, bending down and patting his trouser leg as he spoke.

"The situation has been investigated," said one of the officers at the helm. According to the intelligence, the Chinese have withdrawn from Longkou Town, and have also relocated all the residents of the town, and most of the other villages and towns are also doing the same..." After saying that, the officer pointed to the two civilians dressed as human. "These two are people from the Black Dragon Society, and they are from the Black Dragon Society lurking in Longkou Town..."

"Your Excellency..."Hearing that he was introduced, the two people hurriedly stepped forward respectfully.

Although the reputation of the Black Dragon Society sounds not small, after all, it is only a non-governmental organization, not to mention that they are not important figures in the organization, so it is natural to be polite to a lieutenant general like Mitsutomi Kamio.

"Is there really no one left?"

Pointing to the dock where there were only Japanese soldiers, Kamio Mitsutomi frowned slightly.

"It's gone—" the two men shook their heads. The Chinese had already started the evacuation of civilians many days ago, and now almost all the villages along the coast of Shandong have been evacuated, and the two of us have managed to evade the Chinese search..."

Hearing this answer, Kamio Mitsutomi fell silent.

Although he had already learned about the evacuation when he was at sea, he didn't expect it to be so clean. Originally, he had planned to collect some mules, horses, and strong men from the local area to help deliver supplies, but now it seems impossible...

After landing in Longkou Town, Mitsutomi Kamio used this place as the first stronghold of the Japanese army in Shandong, and after occupying it, he sent a large number of soldiers to reconnoiter the situation in all directions.

It's just that the result is similar to what the people of the Black Dragon Society reported, almost all the people near Longkou Town have been evacuated, and it is difficult to find even one person, let alone collect mules, horses and strong men.

However, even so, the Japanese army posted some notices in Longkou Town and nearby villages, declaring five points against the Chinese: 1. Punish those who obstruct all actions of the Japanese army. 2. Cut off the power supply or dump the loss. 3. Reward for the detention or designation of the informant. Fourth, if you don't know the crime, harbor the bandits, neighbors, and township guards, and punish them severely. 5. If one person in the village obstructs the movement of the Japanese army, the people of the village shall be executed.

It's just that posting something to an empty town, even Kamio Mitsutomi himself feels a little uncomfortable.

At the same time, after confirming that the Japanese army had landed in Longkou Bay, some mysterious ships quietly sailed out of the fortress in the port of Qingdao Fortress... (To be continued......)
