"Bagaya Road." Yuheng Yicheng roared in alarm at the headquarters of the dispatched troops in Qingdao. All the staff members in the headquarters kept silent to avoid being shot. Honjo Shigeru is quite an honest person. It would be unjustifiable if a defeat like the loss of an entire brigade is not reported. This is also a fine tradition of Japanese soldiers. Shameless politicians who whitewash their achievements will never appear at the level of Honjo Shigeru, but this This also earned him a reprimand from the commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Forces Command, General Uheng Kazunari. In the message, Uheng Kazunari made the most severe criticism of Honjo Shigeru's lone advance. He told Honjo Shigeru very clearly that if If a similar incident happens again, then he will immediately commit suicide and apologize to His Majesty the Emperor. The dispatched army headquarters has no interest in giving him any punishment. Honjo Shige first looked at the message in his hand, and then looked at his slightly swollen belly. He felt chilly. Although there was no chance of committing seppuku, any fool knew that using a knife to make a cut on his belly would definitely be nothing. It was a comfortable thing, so Honjo Shige immediately ordered to stop the attack and wait for reinforcements. At the same time, out of anger, he actually ordered his troops to brutally rape and massacre more than 10,000 Chinese people in Linzi County. It was said that he wanted to punish them for disobeying the generals. The stupid act of cooperation between the Japanese Imperial Army and Linzi suddenly became a hell on earth. Afterwards, both the Chinese and Japanese sides expressed great anger at Honjo Shige's actions. The Nanjing National Government ordered that all officers and soldiers of Honjo Shige's division would not accept surrender, and all those captured would be executed on the spot. On the Japanese side, the original Prime Minister Jing and Prime Minister Tanaka sent text messages to reprimand the commander of the Shandong Expeditionary Force Yuheng Yisheng. Do they know the purpose of the imperial army's dispatch to Shandong? Is it to punish the violent troops in South China or to conquer China? In China, the first newspaper to disclose the Linzi Massacre was Shenbao. On the third day of the massacre, the newspaper obtained oral materials from survivors with the help of the Youth Army, and angrily denounced the Japanese army in a series of articles. After the atrocities, the Nationalist Government immediately took decisive action with the authorization of both houses of the National Assembly and forcibly expelled Japanese diplomats in China. At the same time, with the support of Wang Zhenyu, Xiong Xiling, despite the opposition of Sun Wen, Chairman of the Nationalist Government, issued an order as Prime Minister of the Nationalist Government to ban all Japanese diplomats from China. Businessmen carried out wartime takeovers of Chinese industries and forcibly expelled all Japanese personnel in China. They were given a one-week deadline to leave, otherwise they would be treated as spies and executed. In Shanghai, the Japanese concession in Hongkou was also taken back by the Chinese army by force the day after the Nationalist Government's order was issued. The 600 Japanese Marines stationed in the area naturally refused the Chinese army's persuasion to surrender and resisted stubbornly. The 802nd and 803rd regiments of the Chen Yuxin Department of the Eighth Division stationed in Shanghai, under the personal command of Chief of Staff General Long Yun, relied on twelve armored vehicles specially allocated by the Military Commission to attack the Japanese army. The Eighth Division, which had an overall advantage in firepower and troop strength, attacked the Japanese very quickly. It crushed the resistance of the Japanese army and invaded the Hongkou area despite the protests of the British and French consuls. One can imagine what happened next. All Japanese in the concession area, a total of 2,200 people, disappeared. The Japanese side had no time to lodge a protest with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government in Nanjing before they expelled all diplomatic personnel and refused to even allow the establishment of an agency. In the end, the Japanese side had no choice but to lodge a very embarrassing protest with the Beijing government, and the Beijing government now even Neither does the president. Although there is no president, the troubles of the Beijing government are equally alarming. After students from colleges and universities in the capital heard the news of the Linzi Massacre, the anger accumulated during the May Fourth Movement in the first half of the year was once again ignited. The angry students directly attacked the State Council and other administrative departments in Beijing. The organization demanded to break off diplomatic relations with Japan and declare war. The Generalissimo's Mansion and the others also tried to go there. However, seeing Feng Jun's bandit soldiers suddenly start to take off their pants in public, the female students were so frightened that they turned around. The boys had to follow suit and turned around. The students They also attacked Dongjiaominxiang and asked the ministers of the great powers to intervene, but the effect was not obvious. Anyway, Zhang Zuolin in Jurentang was restless now, and Yang Yuting, who had just secretly returned from the Shanxi front line, also brought very bad news. About five divisions of the Youth Army under Wang Zhenyu have entered Shanxi. Feng Jun's Shanxi operation has missed the best opportunity. There is no need to exchange fire now. Sun Liechen and Zhang Jinghui, who were intimidated by the reputation of the Youth Army, unanimously gave orders to their troops to stop. If Zhang Zuolin hadn't been pressing the order to attack, they would have retreated across the board this time. Looking at the situation in front of him, Zhang Zuolin looked up to the sky and sighed: "Is this world destined to belong to Wang Zhenyu? I am not willing to accept it. I really am not willing to accept it." And Yang Yuting, known as Little Zhuge, stood beside him but did not know how to comfort him. The old commander could only say to the old commander: "Commander, things are not that bad. The key is Shandong. The key is Shandong. Do you think we should send Zhang Zongchang and the others to help the Japanese?" Zhang Zuolin heard this His eyes couldn't help but light up when he said this, but then dimmed again in an instant: "No, no, it would be better if this incident in Linzi didn't happen, but now let little Japan do this"??, if we send troops to beat Wang Zhenyu at this time, then we will become a fucking traitor. This is a small matter. If we are called a traitor, our children and grandchildren will not be able to hold their heads up. It will be a big deal. This matter is Don't mention it again. If I die, I will die. Xiao Liuzi and the others will still continue to be human beings. Seeing Zhang Zuolin's resolute attitude, Yang Yuting could only sigh. The impact of the massacre in Linzi, Shandong Province is still further fermented. Wang Zhenyu, who is already a national political leader, can only grit his teeth. He also There were more important things to do, because Kolchak came. In Xinjiang, Kolchak was so surprised that he stuffed an egg in his mouth. 1.25 million Russian immigrants were temporarily resettled in Ili, Tacheng, and Aksu. These separate placements are also to avoid possible risks of rebellion. After all, Wang Zhenyu accepted these White Russians in order to strengthen himself at the risk of being exported by the Bolsheviks. If the final result is that these White Russians cause rebellion on their own territory and become independent. Like Ukraine in later generations, Wang Zhenyu had great fun. What really surprised Kolchak was that the Chinese seemed to have known that such a day would come to them. Gu Zhenglun had already conscripted 600,000 Muslims and ordered them to do so. They built enough houses for one million people to live in, and also sent a large amount of supplies for so many people to survive the winter. You must know that there was no railway in Xinjiang at this time, and every grain of food was delivered by these Muslims all the way from Lanzhou. Dihua, and then sent from Dihua to the above three locations. As for Kolchak's 400,000 troops, they were naturally ordered to be disarmed by the extremely arrogant General Wu Peifu. It would be false to say that Kolchak had no little thoughts. But the 300,000 border guards in Wu Peifu's hands were not vegetarians. After roughly estimating the combat effectiveness of the soldiers' mental outlook and equipment, Kolchak decided to be an honest and responsible Russian farmer. But Wu Peifu did not do anything wrong. , the so-called disarmament actually gave Kolchak a lot of face. The rifles of these Russians were not confiscated, but their heavy weapons and bullets were collected. Each Russian soldier was only allowed to keep a symbolic round of bullets and bullets. Four blank rounds, which is the maximum limit, and according to the order, these Russian soldiers were separated from other Russian immigrants. They were arranged to be stationed in the Luntai area, but officers with family members were allowed to go to the above-mentioned areas one month later. Report. The next question about the whereabouts of these Russians requires Kolchak to go to Wuhan to interview Wang Zhenyu, the supreme commander of the Youth Army. Kolchak flew to Dihua on a small passenger plane with 17 people. Here he and his twelve main deputies boarded a 38-seater medium-sized plane and flew to Lanzhou. After staying in Lanzhou for one day, Gu Zhenglun, who is currently feared by the entire northwest, actually hosted a banquet for Kolchak. A group of people, because this big devil in the eyes of the Northwest Muslims got a little bit of news through his relationship in Wuhan, Wuhan plans to turn these White Russians into the backbone of building the Northwest, and he is working so hard in the Northwest now, and he will wait for Wu Peifu in the future. After being transferred, the position of the Northwest King belongs to him. It was already the afternoon of November 28 when Kolchak arrived in Wuhan. When he entered the city from the airport, he was shocked again. From the War of Protecting the Country Counting from the end, after four years, Wuhan has been built into an international metropolis, with an urban population of millions, a large number of brand-new European modern style and traditional Chinese classical style buildings, cars and automobiles. Trams can be seen in this city at any time. People in the whole city are wearing all kinds of clothes and working and living in this city full of vigor. From this scene, Kolchak vaguely felt that a country full of vitality was rising, although Japan, one of the integrated powers in this country, was currently fighting. When Kolchak and his entourage drove past the newly completed Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge and entered the East Lake Special Zone where the Military Commission is located, they were shocked again. The neatly planned special zone, the majestic buildings, and the well-disciplined security forces Everything demonstrates the strength of the ruler of this ancient eastern country. When the Tianyuan District Building appeared in front of these Russians, they were completely stunned. Such a building with strong military overtones actually appeared in an ancient Eastern country. How can such a country and power be underestimated by others. However, when Kolchak praised Wang Zhenyu in person out of European custom, Wang Zhenyu smiled very casually and said: "They are just some face-saving projects. They can be built if you have money. The strength of a country cannot be relied on." These useless face-saving projects depend on brave soldiers, hard-working citizens, and imaginative scientific and technical personnel.¡±
