Chapter 155: Causing Big Trouble (1 words)
As the gunshots rang out, a blood hole the size of a thumb appeared on the foreigner's forehead.
The foreign devil who had been arrogant and rude just now fell on his back on the spot.
The other British guys beside him were completely stunned.
You must know that from the time of the Manchu Dynasty to the current Republic of China, the status of Westerners in China has always been very high.
Who dares to disrespect the Chinese people from officials and gentry to traffickers and pawns?
In a place like Nanjing, let alone killing foreigners, you don't even dare to offend them.
Therefore, they never expected that Xu Qingfeng would actually dare to shoot their companions.
Under the combination of great shock and fear, the British guys were momentarily at a loss.
Seeing Xu Qingfeng shoot, Chen Qifeng, Sun Kui, and Zhang Zhijian no longer restrained themselves, and immediately rushed in front of the remaining foreign devils with their pistols, and put the guns directly on their foreheads.
At this time, several foreigners realized that something was wrong, and in fear, they knelt on the ground involuntarily and raised their hands to beg for mercy.
"Don't, don't shoot, don't shoot, you can't do this to us..."
All the arrogance and arrogance that he had before were gone.
Just then, there was a rush of whistles.
Immediately afterwards, a group of military police officers in black uniforms came from the street not far away after hearing the news.
The leader held a Mauser pistol in one hand and a whistle in his mouth in the other, blowing it while running.
Looking at this team of gendarmerie police, Lei Xiong leaned in front of Xu Qingfeng and said, "The group seat seems to be from the gendarmerie headquarters."
When the military police officers rushed forward, some of the officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment who were guarding the perimeter directly turned their guns to block them, with no fear on their faces.
These gendarmerie police may be a superior existence to ordinary people.
But to them, a group of proud soldiers who had just withdrawn from the bloody battle on the front line, it was nothing but bullshit.
What's more, behind them is their own leader, Xu Qingfeng.
Knowing that this group of military police officers may have bad intentions, and they do not need orders from others, they will naturally step forward to protect the comfort of the group.
It turns out that these military police officers are not equipped with guns on weekdays, and most of the time they patrol with batons.
However, Songhu fell and Nanjing was in crisis. In order to enhance the defense power of Nanjing City and better maintain public security and stability in the city, the army was forced to move to Nanjing.
Xiao Shanling, who was the commander of the military police of the garrison city at that time, and others opened the arsenal and equipped all the military police with standard weapons.
Zhang Erhu was the captain of the gendarmerie who came after hearing the news. He was patrolling with more than 20 subordinates.
He suddenly heard gunshots from the West Hospital, and brought people over without thinking too much.
When he saw a large number of our own officers and soldiers covered in blood and in ragged clothes surrounding the entrance of the hospital, he suddenly felt dizzy.
Especially when he saw at least a hundred officers and soldiers arriving, he suddenly turned around and pointed his guns at them.
Zhang Erhu was even more startled, and hurriedly raised his hand to signal the gendarmes behind him to stop.
Then he bravely shouted: "I am Zhang Erhu, the captain of the 3rd Military Police Squadron. May I ask which part of the brothers you belong to? What happened?"
Xu Qingfeng sized up Zhang Erhu and the military police around him, but didn't take them seriously, so he ordered the subordinates in front, "Let them come here."
More than a hundred officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment with guns facing each other immediately retracted their guns one after another, and made way for Zhang Erhu and his party on both sides.
Zhang Erhu also raised his hand to signal the team members behind him to put away their guns. Although the group of proud soldiers in front of him were fierce, they were essentially his own people.
There is no need to make swords drawn and confront each other with guns.
Zhang Erhu took the lead and walked straight through the crowd of officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment to the front door of the hospital.
He looked at the corpses of the foreigners who had been beaten to death and fell to the ground, and then looked at several Westerners who were begging for mercy with their guns held to their heads by Sun Kui, Chen Qifeng, and Zhang Zhijian.
Turning to look at Xu Qingfeng, he asked, "What's going on? Which part do you belong to?"
Since Xu Qingfeng had just been withdrawn from the battlefield, his face was covered with dust, and his military uniform was mostly covered with blood, so Zhang Erhu didn't recognize Xu Qingfeng, the colonel commander.
Lei Xiong beside Xu Qingfeng couldn't help shouting: "We belong to the Huben regiment, this is Xu Qingfeng from our regiment, what rank is your kid? Do you dare to salute when you see our regiment?"
When Zhang Erhu heard that it was Xu Qingfeng, he couldn't help being shocked. He looked Xu Qingfeng up and down, and hurriedly stood up and saluted: "I didn't recognize you, sir, sir. Please forgive me, sir!"
Xu Qingfeng snorted coldly, but turned around and walked towards the other foreigners.
Seeing this, Zhang Erhu quickly stopped him and asked, "Sir, what happened?"
"This Western devil is unwilling to treat my subordinates' injuries and even insults our soldiers. I will kill him!" Xu Qingfeng said matter-of-factly.
"Ah?" Zhang Erhu was shocked again.
But Xu Qingfeng pushed his right hand away from him, came to the remaining foreigners, and shouted in a serious voice: "I'll ask you again, will you treat my subordinates?"
Several foreigners haven't reacted yet.
Zhang Erhu hurriedly jumped up, stood between Xu Qingfeng and several foreigners, and persuaded him earnestly: "Sir Xu, a big mistake has been made. You must not make the same mistake again and again."
"Get out of the way for me." Xu Qingfeng scolded.
Seeing the gendarmes blocking Xu Qingfeng, several foreigners, who were already frightened, suddenly struggled to stand up again.
He grabbed Zhang Erhu's shoulders and said: "Captain Zhang, they kill innocent people indiscriminately and commit crimes on the street. You must handle them impartially and punish them according to the law!"
Obviously, these foreigners knew Zhang Erhu, who was a former gendarmerie patrolman.
Zhang Erhu begged Xu Qingfeng with a troubled face: "Sir Xu, you can't mess with these British and Chinese guys. For my sake, stop now!"
Xu Qingfeng was eager to save people, grabbed Zhang Erhu's skirt with anger and shouted: "Don't talk about you, even if President Tang and Commander Tang are here today, I won't buy it!"
After finishing speaking, he threw his arm hard and flew out.
The officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment, who were already furious, could no longer restrain themselves when they saw Xu Qingfeng taking action.
They came forward one after another, punched, kicked and smashed their rifle butts, and began to beat the more than 20 military policemen who came with Zhang Erhu, beating them until they were wailing and crying for their fathers and mothers.
Xu Qingfeng kicked the two foreigners who had just acted so powerfully and sent them flying backwards. He gave them an ultimatum: "If you can't save my chief of staff, you will all be buried with him!"
After saying that, Xu Qingfeng ordered Lei Xiong: "Captain Lei, carry the chief of staff in and watch them perform the operation. If anyone doesn't do it, I'll kill him!"
"Yes!" Lei Xiong agreed loudly, and immediately rushed in with people carrying Liang Shan.
Several foreigners who blocked the gate were also beaten and kicked by Chen Qifeng, Sun Kui and others and led in together.
Only then did Xu Qingfeng turn around and stop the soldiers from beating Zhang Erhu and others.
Zhang Erhu, whose nose was bruised and face swollen from the beating, struggled to get up, and groaned with aggrieved face: "Soldiers, you are just a bunch of soldiers! You have caused a disaster!"
"I'm going to be a soldier again today!" Xu Qingfeng snorted disapprovingly.
Facing the ferocious officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment, Zhang Erhu didn't dare to say anything, and fled with his team members.
Xu Qingfeng ordered Zhang Zhijian again: "Lead people to blockade this hospital until they perform the operation on the chief of staff!"
"Yes!" Zhang Zhijian accepted the order happily, and immediately led people to deploy around the hospital and build fortifications.
In other words, Zhang Erhu felt that the matter was of great importance. After running away from the Western Hospital, he went directly to the Gendarmerie Command.
At the door, he was stopped by the guards guarding the door.
"I am Zhang Erhu, captain of the 3rd Military Police Squadron. There is an emergency and I want to see Commander Xiao!"
Zhang Erhu said, taking out his military police card and handing it to one of the second lieutenants.
The guard officer let him go after seeing his ID.
At that time, General Xiao Shanling held six important positions, namely mayor of Jinling during the war, deputy commander of the national military police, national capital police, chief of the police department, air defense commander, and acting Jinling garrison commander.
In order to facilitate communication with the garrison headquarters, he moved his gendarmerie headquarters to a gendarmerie compound next to Tang Mansion.
When Zhang Erhu came to the headquarters, Xiao Shanling was going to the garrison headquarters next door for a meeting to discuss the upcoming city defense battle.
Zhang Erhu almost bumped into him. Xiao Shanling asked with some displeasure, "What's going on? Who are you?"
As the commander of the military police, it was normal for Xiao Shanling not to recognize Zhang Erhu.
After all, there are thousands of military policemen under him, and there must be at least a hundred or eighty such squadron leaders.
But Zhang Erhu recognized him, took a step back quickly, and said in panic: "Commander, I'm sorry, my humble post is Zhang Erhu, the leader of the No. 3 Squadron, and I have something urgent to report to you."
"What's the emergency?" Seeing that it was his subordinate, Xiao Shan's attitude softened.
"Commander Xu of the Huben Regiment surrounded a Western hospital run by the British and killed a British man!
I wanted to stop my humble position, but Commander Xu not only refused to listen, but also ordered his officers and soldiers to beat me and my brothers. "
Zhang Erhu touched his slightly swollen left face and felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke.
But Xiao Shanling's face changed when he heard that, his subordinates were beaten up by members of the Huben regiment, it was a trivial matter.
However, shooting foreigners is a big deal.
Especially the British, who also have a consulate in Jinling City. If they find out about this, Xu Qingfeng will be in trouble.
So he hurriedly asked Zhang Erhu: "Do you know the cause and effect?"
Zhang Erhu didn't want to speak for Xu Qingfeng and the others, but when he faced Xiao Shanling's sharp, knife-like gaze, he couldn't help but shudder.
Rushihui reported: "It seems that the British were unwilling to treat the wounded soldiers of the Tiger Regiment and even insulted them."
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaoshan immediately said to an adjutant behind him: "Adjutant Wang, please send me an order immediately. The 1st Military Police Regiment must assemble quickly and rush to the Western Hospital."
Adjutant Wang asked for instructions: "Are you going to surround the Huben Regiment and arrest Xu Qingfeng?"
"No matter what, Xu Qingfeng is our hero of the Anti-Japanese War. How can we arrest a man with meritorious deeds?" Xiao Shanling ordered in a deep voice: "Control the situation first. Don't let Xu Qingfeng make the situation worse again. No arrests are allowed." Arrest, let alone conflict with the Tiger and Ben regiment!"
"The situation is serious. I will go to the garrison headquarters immediately and report to Commander-in-Chief Tang and others."
"Yes!" Adjutant Wang and Zhang Erhu stood up together and responded.
……
Tang Mansion, Jinling Garrison Headquarters.
"What? Xu Qingfeng killed a British guy?" After listening to Xiao Shanling's report, Tang Shengzhi couldn't help being surprised because the situation of the battle was getting worse.
"It is said that it was the British and Guoguo who insulted the soldiers of the Tiger Regiment first." Xiao Shanling was obviously partial to patriotic soldiers like Xu Qingfeng in his heart, so he helped to explain.
Commander Tang frowned and said, "The problem now is not who provokes first, but that the foreigner cannot be killed!
As long as you kill him or try to take advantage of him, that would be a big mistake! "
Luo Youqing also frowned on the side. He knew that Tang Shengzhi was right. In this era when foreigners were superior to others, the serious consequences of shooting a foreigner, even if Xu Qingfeng made a great military exploit that others could not match, might not There is no escape from guilt.
Therefore, for a while, he didn't even know what to do to keep Xu Qingfeng.
Liu Xing and others next to him looked at each other, obviously helpless.
Tang Shengzhi asked: "Brother Xiao, how did you deal with it?"
Xiao Shanling told the truth: "After receiving the news, I have sent a military police regiment to the scene to control the situation, so as not to expand the situation again."
"Well, that's right." Tang Shengzhi nodded after hearing this.
"Chief Commander, how do you plan to deal with this matter?" Luo Youqing asked at this time.
Liu Xing on the side couldn't help but said: "Master Chief, Brother You Qing, I'm afraid the British people won't let this matter go. It must be handled properly, otherwise the consequences will be very serious."
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Liu Xing was speaking to Tang Shengzhi.
Maybe he was worried that he would be hot-headed and protect Xu Qingfeng, thereby offending Westerners who could not afford to offend anyone.
Luo Youqing admired Xu Qingfeng and his Tiger Squad, and naturally he would not sit idly by.
Hearing Liu Xing's subtext, he immediately said: "President, Xu Qingfeng fought bloody battles on the front line, and made great military exploits for the country and the nation.
We can't ignore him! "
Tang Shengzhi said: "Brother You Qing, what you said is reasonable, but once this matter is known to the British, I'm afraid it will be out of your control."
Luo Youqing said: "Can we protect Xu Qingfeng first before the British consuls know about this?
At that time, there will be a lot of room for maneuver. "
Tang Shengzhi pondered for a while, nodded and said, "I hope the British don't know about this yet."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Xiao Shanling: "Brother Xiao, please go there yourself, otherwise I'm afraid ordinary people won't be able to frighten Xu Qingfeng."
"Yes, I'll go right away." Xiao Shanling happily agreed.
Just as he was about to leave, Luo Youqing stopped him and said, "Brother Xiao, you have to move quickly and move Xu Qingfeng away before the British consul.
Otherwise, there will be no room for maneuver on this matter. "
"Brother Luo, don't worry, I know it well." Xiao Shanling nodded, turned around and strode out quickly.
At the British Hospital, some officers and soldiers of the First Gendarmerie Regiment had already arrived at the scene.
Looking at the suffocating troops surrounding the hospital and setting up a guard post, the Tigers and Ben regiments set out to warn the outside world.
A head of the military police who led the team couldn't help frowning, and took the lead to step forward and shouted: "Where is Head Xu?"
"Who are you? Want to see our regiment commander?" A veteran platoon leader of the Huben regiment asked arrogantly.
"Xie Guanghan, the commander of the 1st Gendarmerie Regiment, came here on orders from Commander Xiao to maintain order and let your officers speak out."
Xie Guanghan is also a patriotic soldier, and he respects Xu Qingfeng and the Huben regiment who have repeatedly made military exploits.
In addition, with Xiao Shan Ling's instructions, he would naturally not meet the Tiger Soldiers for a foreigner.
Xu Qingfeng heard the conversation between Xie Guanghan and his subordinates, and walked out from behind his own officers and soldiers, followed by Lei Xiong, Wang Changgui and others.
"Captain Xu!" Xie Guanghan took the initiative to salute Xu Qingfeng as soon as he saw him.
Xu Qingfeng returned the salute and asked in an indifferent tone: "Captain Xie, are you trying to arrest our Tiger Brigade?"
Xie Guanghan stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Brother Xu, I admire you and your Huben group from the bottom of my heart.
However, you have really made a big mistake this time.
Why don't you withdraw first and leave this place to me to maintain order, and wait for the new instructions from the top to see how to deal with the aftermath. "
Seeing that Xie Guanghan was not hostile, Xu Qingfeng's indifferent expression also softened, and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Xu appreciates it.
But my chief of staff is inside, and I won't leave until he's safe. "
"Brother Xu, you killed the British guy. If their consulate finds out, the consequences will be disastrous."
Xie Guanghan continued to persuade in a lowered voice: "Otherwise, you withdraw first, and I promise to let them perform an operation on your chief of staff."
Xu Qingfeng glanced at Xie Guanghan and saw that he had a sincere face, so he must have spoken the truth.
However, Xu Qingfeng didn't believe that he could withstand the coming pressure from all parties, threatening the British guy to continue performing surgery on Liang Shan.
Because, after all, Liang Shan is not his life and death brother.
So, he rejected him and said: "I have made up my mind, brother Xie, don't need to say more."
In fact, Xu Qingfeng was not afraid of any British people, let alone Tang Shengzhi and other commanders of the garrison headquarters, who would hand him over.
The Japanese army is about to launch an attack on Nanjing's city defense line. By then, Nanjing will be in a state of emergency. Commander-in-Chief Tang Shengzhi will probably need himself and the Huben Regiment more than ever to help him resist the Japanese army.
If he really dared to risk the disapproval of the world and hand himself over to the British, then the public opinion at home and abroad alone would kill him.
After finally leading the army to defend Nanjing, the accumulated reputation will collapse in an instant.
His own political and military career can also be brought to an early end.
Besides, Xu Qingfeng had no intention of handing over his guns at all. As long as nearly a thousand veterans of the Huben Regiment were in hand, who in Nanjing could do anything to him?
Of course, Xu Qingfeng was certain that Tang Shengzhi, Xiao Shanling and others would never use force to deal with him and the Huben regiment.
After all, the illustrious military exploits and great reputation that I have fought all the way from the Battle of Songhu are not covered up.
This is also the greatest confidence that he dares to shoot and kill directly.
Of course, it was more because he didn't want to stand by and watch Liang Shan die tragically in Nanjing.
From Sixing Warehouse to now, Liang Shan has followed him through life and death, and has long been as close as a brother.
Such a man who shed his blood for the country and the nation did not die on the battlefield, but died in the city of Nanjing that had not yet fallen.
He can never accept this
These British guys opened hospitals in China and made a lot of money, but they deliberately made things difficult at the critical moment, causing Hua Linrong to die in front of the hospital.
Dare to speak rudely, of course Xu Qingfeng would not swallow his anger, otherwise it would be a waste of this rebirth.
Seeing that Xu Qingfeng was not grateful, Xie Guanghan said anxiously and angrily: "Captain Xu, you are making it difficult for the brothers."
Xu Qingfeng also said angrily: "Don't do it if it's difficult, and take your troops back to your defense area.
If you really have nothing to do, you can go out of the city to the front line and help our 87th Division, 88th Division and other brother units fight against the Japanese invaders. "
"You!" Xie Guanghan's face was livid with anger, and he wanted to say something more.
But Xu Qingfeng had already spoken first and said, "Brother Xie, there is my Huben regiment here to maintain order, so don't worry at all, please go back."
After finishing speaking, Xu Qingfeng turned around and was about to walk inside.
At this moment, a German-made military vehicle roared and came galloping from the distance of the street.
They drove all the way to the guard post of the Huben Regiment before stopping. As soon as the military vehicle stopped, Xiao Shanling jumped down one after another with an adjutant and a guard with live ammunition.
Seeing this, Xie Guanghan hurried forward to greet him: "Commander, why are you here?"
Xiao Shanling nodded slightly as a response, and asked, "How is the situation? It hasn't continued to deteriorate, has it?"
Xie Guanghan said: "No, but Xu Qingfeng is unwilling to leave."
Xiao Shanling immediately walked forward. When he encountered the sentry of the Tiger Regiment, he immediately shouted sternly: "Get out of the way!"
Xie Guanghan echoed from the side and shouted: "This is Commander Xiao, the commander of city defense. Who dares to stop him?"
"I don't know any city defense commander. Without the order of our regiment, even the king of heaven and I can't do it!" The veteran platoon leader over there responded fearlessly.
"Presumptuous!" Xie Guanghan was furious when he heard the words, and immediately drew his gun, and the two battalions of military police behind him also raised their guns and stepped forward.
Seeing this, the officers and soldiers of the Huben regiment raised their guns to greet each other, and the two sides entered a confrontation with less than two meters apart.
Xu Qingfeng turned back when he heard the movement.
He raised his hand to signal his sentry and said, "Don't be rude to Commander Xiao. Put down your guns."
The sentinels put away their guns one after another, but they still stood beside Xu Qingfeng, ready to fight.
Seeing this, Xiao Shanling also raised his hand to signal the gendarmes behind him to close their guns.
Xu Qingfeng looked Xiao Shanling up and down and saluted proactively: "Sir Xiao, what are your instructions?"
Xiao Shanling stepped directly in front of Xu Qingfeng, reprimanded in a low voice with a look of hatred for iron, "Mr. Xu, why are you so impulsive?
You got into big trouble this time, do you know that? "
"The British insulted the anti-war heroes, damn it!" Xu Qingfeng said disapprovingly.
"You can't shoot then. If this thing gets too big, the principal won't even be able to protect you." Xiao Shanling said with a serious face.
He is from Whampoa Phase 3, so he is also called Principal Chang Kaishen.
After saying that, without waiting for Xu Qingfeng to retort, he glanced around and said, "I am here to handle this matter under the orders of Commander-in-Chief Tang and Deputy Commander Luo.
Now you take the troops to evacuate, and I will deal with the aftermath.
As long as the Brit doesn't know you killed the man, there's room for maneuver. "
"Thank you for your kindness, Chief Xiao, but my brother is still inside for resuscitation. I will not leave until his operation is completed."
Xu Qingfeng could also see that the Huangpu senior and city defense commander in front of him was really doing his best, so he spoke more politely.
"Confused!" Xiao Shanling said, "In this autumn when the nation is in peril, when the country is employing people, how can one act on one's will?"
"Mr. Xiao, what a man does and what he doesn't do!" Xu Qingfeng said in a serious voice: "My brothers followed me all the way from Songhu to Nanjing, and made countless contributions. I can't ignore their lives, please forgive me, Mr. Xiao. "
"No, retreat quickly. I'll help you deal with the aftermath. If you delay any longer, it will be too late." Xiao Shanling was worried.
At this moment, another black car with a Union Jack flying on the street in the distance drove up, followed by a military truck also flying the Union Flag. On the truck stood more than ten fully armed British guards. .
The gendarmes may have seen this situation a lot, so they didn't dare to intercept it.
As a result, the two vehicles with the Mi Ziqi flag drove directly to Xiao Shanling and Xu Qingfeng before stopping not far away.
After the car stopped, two Westerners wearing suits, leather boots, and black round felt hats took the lead in getting out of the car in front of them.
The dozen or so armed guards in the truck behind jumped out from the left and right and followed them with guns.
After hearing the sound, Ling Xiao Shan turned around and saw the person clearly. His face darkened and he lowered his voice and said to Xu Qingfeng: "These two are the British consuls in Nanjing. It seems they know about it. Now we are in big trouble."
Xu Qingfeng didn't take it seriously, and watched with cold eyes.
Xiao Shanling took Xie Guanghan and turned around to greet him.
"Consul John, your consular guards have no right to enter unexpected areas of the consulate with guns. How can you bring them here? This is against the rules."
Xiao Shanling took the lead in making the announcement.
The foreigner named John looked at the tight national army that surrounded the hospital, frowned, and said to Xiao Shan with displeasure: "Commander Xiao, we have received news that our citizens of Great Britain have been killed here. To the shooting of soldiers of your country.
It is the duty of our consulate guards to protect the safety of our expatriates. "
Xiao Shan ordered: "There was indeed a shooting here, but the matter is not what you know. I am handling it."
John said: "I want to go over and see our expatriates to ensure their safety."
As he said that, he stepped forward regardless.
Ling Xiao Shan was afraid that he would bump into Xu Qingfeng, so he quickly stopped him and said, "Mr. John, this is China. Even if a shooting incident occurs, it should be handled by our Chinese police."
"I know this, but I want to see our own expats. This shouldn't violate the laws of your country, right?"
John glared at Xiao Shanling with an evil look in his eyes, pushed him away, and continued to lead the way forward.
Soon, they came to Xu Qingfeng and the guard post of the Huben Regiment.
Facing Xu Qingfeng, who was standing with his hands behind his back, with an indifferent face, and the officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment beside him with unkind expressions.
John was not afraid, but shouted in slightly blunt Chinese: "Please get out of the way!"
"No!" Xu Qingfeng refused bluntly.
"Asshole, I want to go in and see our expatriates, you have no right to stop me! Besides, this is a hospital run by our British expatriates." John's deputy yelled angrily.
"That's also in China!" Xu Qingfeng said with a still indifferent expression: "There are military exercises going on here. No unrelated people are allowed to approach, otherwise they will be shot on the spot!"
As soon as Xu Qingfeng said this, the officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment who had put away their guns raised their weapons again.
The muzzles of hundreds of black holes were aimed at John and the group in an instant.
The dozen or so British guards behind them turned pale with fright, and all of them were frightened.
"This is simply unreasonable. Who are you? I want to accuse your headquarters of your brutal behavior!" John turned pale with anger, pointed at Xu Qingfeng and yelled angrily.
"Listen up, I can't change my name even if I don't want to change my surname. Xu Qingfeng, leader of the Huben Regiment, this is not the place for you to run wild, get out of here!"
After Xu Qingfeng finished speaking, he waved his hand.
Lei Xiong, Wang Changgui and other officers and soldiers of the Tiger Regiment all advanced forward with guns in hand.
John and the others were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they all stepped back in unison.
"It's disgusting, you gangsters! I must sue you!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, John rolled and crawled back to the car. Before opening the door, he cursed and got into the car, and then left the scene in despair.
Seeing this, Xiao Shanling couldn't help sighing, looked at Xu Qingfeng surrounded by officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment, and said: "Xu Qingfeng, you have caused enough trouble this time!"
After saying that, he shook his head regretfully and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Xie Guanghan hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Commander, what should we do? Should we withdraw or stay?"
"You stay here. Without my order, no one is allowed to come here to take people, understand?"
Xiao Shanling ordered in a stern manner.
"Yes!" Xie Guanghan answered with understanding.
After Xiao Shanling left in the car, Xu Qingfeng raised his hand to signal the officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment to close their guns.
Xie Guanghan walked straight over and couldn't help but give Xu Qingfeng a thumbs up and said: "Captain Xu, I have something to say, what you just said was really a relief.
Brother, I have been working in Nanjing for so many years, and I have never seen anyone dare to treat foreigners like this. "
"I don't care how others bow their knees. To me, Xu Qingfeng, these Westerners have nothing special about them. They are no different from Japanese pirates. They are wolf ambitions!"
Xu Qingfeng said.
"That's true." Xie Guanghan nodded in agreement and said, "The Eight-Nation Allied Forces also have a share. These Westerners are dominating and oppressing us in China. It's really bad luck!"
"Brother Xie, I see that you are also a bloody man. I hope I can fight side by side with you to defend Nanjing together!"
Xu Qingfeng expressed his feelings.
Xie Guanghan immediately said: "As long as the Japanese invaders come, our gendarmerie is absolutely obliged to fight the enemy side by side with Brother Xu's Huben Regiment and defend Nanjing together!"
……
John and his party were forced back by Xu Qingfeng, and instead of returning to the consulate, they drove straight to Tang Mansion.
In order not to worsen the situation, Xiao Shanling also urged his subordinates to wait for opportunities to speed up along the way.
So, almost in tandem with John, we returned to the outside of Tang Mansion.
"Mr. John, let me take you in." Xiao Shanling saw that John and the others were blocked by guards and took the initiative to step forward.
"Sir Xiao, you saw what Xu Qingfeng did just now. He was provoking us, Great Britain, and insulting our consulate staff. It is an unforgivable crime."
The more John spoke, the angrier he became, wishing he could tear Xu Qingfeng into pieces.
Xiao Shanling wanted to excuse Xu Qingfeng and immediately said: "Mr. John, this matter is not what you think.
Xu Qingfeng's department had indeed received an order to perform military duties near the hospital. "
"Order? Whose order?" John said suspiciously.
"My order!" Xiao Shan ordered: "After learning that a shooting occurred near the hospital, Xu Qingfeng's troops were the closest at the time, so I ordered them to go there first to maintain order."
John snorted coldly: "Commander Xiao, what you said is completely different from what I got.
As far as I know, it was Xu Qingfeng, the head of your Huben Regiment, who shot and killed our overseas Chinese. We will never let this matter go. I want to see your Commander-in-Chief Tang. "
Xiao Shanling's heart sank. It seemed that the foreign devil had already received the news before he rushed to the hospital.
The news should have been leaked by the British guy in the hospital. After all, the hospital has a telephone. The Tiger Squad was busy rescuing people and sealing off the scene, so they definitely couldn't care less about dealing with these details.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shanling said: "In that case, please wait here, Mr. John, while I go in and report to our Commander-in-Chief Tang."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for John to respond, he stepped in.
Seeing this, John was in a hurry and wanted to follow into the Tang mansion, but the guards guarding the gate naturally understood Xiao Shanling's words.
He stretched out his hand and stopped John and others. The foreign devil became furious and kept expressing his dissatisfaction in English and using foul language.
After Xiao Shanling returned, he immediately reported to Tang Shengzhi, Luo Zhuoying and others everything that happened at the hospital, as well as the news that John had learned what had happened.
After hearing this, Tang Shengzhi couldn't help but change his face and said: "The British guy already knows? What should we do?"
At this moment, a communications staff officer suddenly ran over in a hurry, saluted their commanders and said: "Report to the main seat, sirs, urgent report from the front.
The 16th Division of the Japanese Army has broken through our Tangshan frontline position and is attacking our Zijinshan position.
The teaching corps and various units of the 88th Division are fighting fiercely with him.
On the west front, the 6th Division and the 18th Division, after a short rest, marched forward from Moling Pass, and have already advanced to the front of our 87th Division.
The battle is about to begin! "
"The most critical thing is that Jiangbei's Kunizaki Detachment and Shigeto Detachment have successively broken through multiple defense lines of our Jiangbei Garrison and are marching towards Pukou in a hurry."
Upon hearing this, Tang Shengzhi and others were immediately confused.
Tang Shengzhi asked the communications staff directly: "Have the reinforcements from the 2nd Army arrived?"
"I have arrived, and I am resting and building a defense line around Niu Shou Mountain!" The communications staff immediately replied.
"Immediately order the 2nd Army to deploy some troops to assist the 87th Division, 88th Division and other units.
In addition, generate electricity for Hu Zongnan's 1st Army, and ask him to assist our Jiangbei Garrison to guard Pukou, and the Japanese army must not occupy Pukou! "
Tang Shengzhi immediately made contingency arrangements.
"Yes!" The communications officer quickly recorded his order, saluted, and hurriedly turned around to accept the order and left.
Xiao Shanling said: "Boss, how should we deal with Xu Qingfeng's matter? John is still waiting outside, do you see him or not?"
Tang Shengzhi was already confused. With no idea at all, he looked at Luo Youqing, Liu Xing and others and said, "What do you think is the best way to deal with this matter?"
Before Liu Xing could speak, Luo Youqing said first: "Chief, since the front line is in urgent need, I think it is best to transfer Xu Qingfeng's troops to the front line to participate in the battle.
The reason is simple. Instead of handing him over to the British, or dealing with Xu Qingfeng due to pressure from the British.
It would be better to let him lead his troops to fight the Japanese army. Even if he died on the battlefield, it would be better than dying under the oppression of the British. "
Ling Xiao Shan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately nodded in agreement: "Chief Commander, I think Deputy Commander Luo is right.
Xu Qingfeng is our anti-war hero, no matter who is right or wrong in the hospital incident.
If we hand him over to the British, or dispose of him due to pressure from the British.
He is unable to explain to the [-] million people and public opinion. At this point, it is better to put him on the front line and let him serve the country! "
In fact, Luo Youqing and Xiao Shanling didn't really want to push Xu Qingdao to the front line as cannon fodder, but only in this way can they help Xu Qingfeng divert his conflicts and attention.
After all, after several battles, is it up to the officers like them whether Xu Qingfeng lives or dies?
Just say that Xu Qingfeng died in battle. No matter how tough the British guy is, he can only hold his nose and admit it.
When the limelight passes, the worst possible thing to do is change Xu Qingfeng's identity.
Tang Shengzhi, who was upset, didn't know if he had thought of this, and immediately nodded in agreement and said, "Just do it like this!"
Only then did Liu Xing have the time to speak and said, "Chief Commander, have you seen Consul John yet?"
Tang Shengzhi said angrily: "What do you see? Tell him that I'm not at the headquarters. I went to the front to inspect the troops. Tell him to go back and wait."
……
At the hospital, Chen Qifeng quickly ran out of the hospital.
Xu Qingfeng, who was sitting on the steps in front of the hospital smoking and waiting, heard the footsteps, turned around and saw him standing up immediately and asked: "How is it? Has the chief of staff rescued him?"
Chen Qifeng said: "The foreign devil doctor said that the operation has been completed. Whether he can survive depends on the willpower of the chief of staff. The chief of staff is still awake."
At this time, Xiao Shan ordered the car to go back and forth.
Xu Qingfeng was about to go in and take a look when he was stopped by Xiao Shanling who jumped out of the car and raised his hand: "Captain Xu, wait a minute, there is an emergency military order!"
Xu Qingfeng stopped when he heard the sound, turned around and asked, "Sir Xiao, what's going on?"
Xiao Shan ordered: "The garrison headquarters ordered that your troops immediately move out of the 87th Division's position outside the city and stand by."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said to Xu Qingfeng: "The Japanese army has attacked outside the city, and the 88th Division and the Teaching Corps are resisting.
The 87th Division is expected to be at war with the enemy soon. Deputy Commander Luo and I helped you get a chance.
You immediately take the officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment and rush to the 87th Division to report, and temporarily assign you to the command of the First Regiment.
The regiment leader Zhou Weiguo is your old boss. This way you can avoid the limelight and continue to resist the Japanese army and serve the country. "
(End of this chapter)
As the gunshots rang out, a blood hole the size of a thumb appeared on the foreigner's forehead.
The foreign devil who had been arrogant and rude just now fell on his back on the spot.
The other British guys beside him were completely stunned.
You must know that from the time of the Manchu Dynasty to the current Republic of China, the status of Westerners in China has always been very high.
Who dares to disrespect the Chinese people from officials and gentry to traffickers and pawns?
In a place like Nanjing, let alone killing foreigners, you don't even dare to offend them.
Therefore, they never expected that Xu Qingfeng would actually dare to shoot their companions.
Under the combination of great shock and fear, the British guys were momentarily at a loss.
Seeing Xu Qingfeng shoot, Chen Qifeng, Sun Kui, and Zhang Zhijian no longer restrained themselves, and immediately rushed in front of the remaining foreign devils with their pistols, and put the guns directly on their foreheads.
At this time, several foreigners realized that something was wrong, and in fear, they knelt on the ground involuntarily and raised their hands to beg for mercy.
"Don't, don't shoot, don't shoot, you can't do this to us..."
All the arrogance and arrogance that he had before were gone.
Just then, there was a rush of whistles.
Immediately afterwards, a group of military police officers in black uniforms came from the street not far away after hearing the news.
The leader held a Mauser pistol in one hand and a whistle in his mouth in the other, blowing it while running.
Looking at this team of gendarmerie police, Lei Xiong leaned in front of Xu Qingfeng and said, "The group seat seems to be from the gendarmerie headquarters."
When the military police officers rushed forward, some of the officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment who were guarding the perimeter directly turned their guns to block them, with no fear on their faces.
These gendarmerie police may be a superior existence to ordinary people.
But to them, a group of proud soldiers who had just withdrawn from the bloody battle on the front line, it was nothing but bullshit.
What's more, behind them is their own leader, Xu Qingfeng.
Knowing that this group of military police officers may have bad intentions, and they do not need orders from others, they will naturally step forward to protect the comfort of the group.
It turns out that these military police officers are not equipped with guns on weekdays, and most of the time they patrol with batons.
However, Songhu fell and Nanjing was in crisis. In order to enhance the defense power of Nanjing City and better maintain public security and stability in the city, the army was forced to move to Nanjing.
Xiao Shanling, who was the commander of the military police of the garrison city at that time, and others opened the arsenal and equipped all the military police with standard weapons.
Zhang Erhu was the captain of the gendarmerie who came after hearing the news. He was patrolling with more than 20 subordinates.
He suddenly heard gunshots from the West Hospital, and brought people over without thinking too much.
When he saw a large number of our own officers and soldiers covered in blood and in ragged clothes surrounding the entrance of the hospital, he suddenly felt dizzy.
Especially when he saw at least a hundred officers and soldiers arriving, he suddenly turned around and pointed his guns at them.
Zhang Erhu was even more startled, and hurriedly raised his hand to signal the gendarmes behind him to stop.
Then he bravely shouted: "I am Zhang Erhu, the captain of the 3rd Military Police Squadron. May I ask which part of the brothers you belong to? What happened?"
Xu Qingfeng sized up Zhang Erhu and the military police around him, but didn't take them seriously, so he ordered the subordinates in front, "Let them come here."
More than a hundred officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment with guns facing each other immediately retracted their guns one after another, and made way for Zhang Erhu and his party on both sides.
Zhang Erhu also raised his hand to signal the team members behind him to put away their guns. Although the group of proud soldiers in front of him were fierce, they were essentially his own people.
There is no need to make swords drawn and confront each other with guns.
Zhang Erhu took the lead and walked straight through the crowd of officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment to the front door of the hospital.
He looked at the corpses of the foreigners who had been beaten to death and fell to the ground, and then looked at several Westerners who were begging for mercy with their guns held to their heads by Sun Kui, Chen Qifeng, and Zhang Zhijian.
Turning to look at Xu Qingfeng, he asked, "What's going on? Which part do you belong to?"
Since Xu Qingfeng had just been withdrawn from the battlefield, his face was covered with dust, and his military uniform was mostly covered with blood, so Zhang Erhu didn't recognize Xu Qingfeng, the colonel commander.
Lei Xiong beside Xu Qingfeng couldn't help shouting: "We belong to the Huben regiment, this is Xu Qingfeng from our regiment, what rank is your kid? Do you dare to salute when you see our regiment?"
When Zhang Erhu heard that it was Xu Qingfeng, he couldn't help being shocked. He looked Xu Qingfeng up and down, and hurriedly stood up and saluted: "I didn't recognize you, sir, sir. Please forgive me, sir!"
Xu Qingfeng snorted coldly, but turned around and walked towards the other foreigners.
Seeing this, Zhang Erhu quickly stopped him and asked, "Sir, what happened?"
"This Western devil is unwilling to treat my subordinates' injuries and even insults our soldiers. I will kill him!" Xu Qingfeng said matter-of-factly.
"Ah?" Zhang Erhu was shocked again.
But Xu Qingfeng pushed his right hand away from him, came to the remaining foreigners, and shouted in a serious voice: "I'll ask you again, will you treat my subordinates?"
Several foreigners haven't reacted yet.
Zhang Erhu hurriedly jumped up, stood between Xu Qingfeng and several foreigners, and persuaded him earnestly: "Sir Xu, a big mistake has been made. You must not make the same mistake again and again."
"Get out of the way for me." Xu Qingfeng scolded.
Seeing the gendarmes blocking Xu Qingfeng, several foreigners, who were already frightened, suddenly struggled to stand up again.
He grabbed Zhang Erhu's shoulders and said: "Captain Zhang, they kill innocent people indiscriminately and commit crimes on the street. You must handle them impartially and punish them according to the law!"
Obviously, these foreigners knew Zhang Erhu, who was a former gendarmerie patrolman.
Zhang Erhu begged Xu Qingfeng with a troubled face: "Sir Xu, you can't mess with these British and Chinese guys. For my sake, stop now!"
Xu Qingfeng was eager to save people, grabbed Zhang Erhu's skirt with anger and shouted: "Don't talk about you, even if President Tang and Commander Tang are here today, I won't buy it!"
After finishing speaking, he threw his arm hard and flew out.
The officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment, who were already furious, could no longer restrain themselves when they saw Xu Qingfeng taking action.
They came forward one after another, punched, kicked and smashed their rifle butts, and began to beat the more than 20 military policemen who came with Zhang Erhu, beating them until they were wailing and crying for their fathers and mothers.
Xu Qingfeng kicked the two foreigners who had just acted so powerfully and sent them flying backwards. He gave them an ultimatum: "If you can't save my chief of staff, you will all be buried with him!"
After saying that, Xu Qingfeng ordered Lei Xiong: "Captain Lei, carry the chief of staff in and watch them perform the operation. If anyone doesn't do it, I'll kill him!"
"Yes!" Lei Xiong agreed loudly, and immediately rushed in with people carrying Liang Shan.
Several foreigners who blocked the gate were also beaten and kicked by Chen Qifeng, Sun Kui and others and led in together.
Only then did Xu Qingfeng turn around and stop the soldiers from beating Zhang Erhu and others.
Zhang Erhu, whose nose was bruised and face swollen from the beating, struggled to get up, and groaned with aggrieved face: "Soldiers, you are just a bunch of soldiers! You have caused a disaster!"
"I'm going to be a soldier again today!" Xu Qingfeng snorted disapprovingly.
Facing the ferocious officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment, Zhang Erhu didn't dare to say anything, and fled with his team members.
Xu Qingfeng ordered Zhang Zhijian again: "Lead people to blockade this hospital until they perform the operation on the chief of staff!"
"Yes!" Zhang Zhijian accepted the order happily, and immediately led people to deploy around the hospital and build fortifications.
In other words, Zhang Erhu felt that the matter was of great importance. After running away from the Western Hospital, he went directly to the Gendarmerie Command.
At the door, he was stopped by the guards guarding the door.
"I am Zhang Erhu, captain of the 3rd Military Police Squadron. There is an emergency and I want to see Commander Xiao!"
Zhang Erhu said, taking out his military police card and handing it to one of the second lieutenants.
The guard officer let him go after seeing his ID.
At that time, General Xiao Shanling held six important positions, namely mayor of Jinling during the war, deputy commander of the national military police, national capital police, chief of the police department, air defense commander, and acting Jinling garrison commander.
In order to facilitate communication with the garrison headquarters, he moved his gendarmerie headquarters to a gendarmerie compound next to Tang Mansion.
When Zhang Erhu came to the headquarters, Xiao Shanling was going to the garrison headquarters next door for a meeting to discuss the upcoming city defense battle.
Zhang Erhu almost bumped into him. Xiao Shanling asked with some displeasure, "What's going on? Who are you?"
As the commander of the military police, it was normal for Xiao Shanling not to recognize Zhang Erhu.
After all, there are thousands of military policemen under him, and there must be at least a hundred or eighty such squadron leaders.
But Zhang Erhu recognized him, took a step back quickly, and said in panic: "Commander, I'm sorry, my humble post is Zhang Erhu, the leader of the No. 3 Squadron, and I have something urgent to report to you."
"What's the emergency?" Seeing that it was his subordinate, Xiao Shan's attitude softened.
"Commander Xu of the Huben Regiment surrounded a Western hospital run by the British and killed a British man!
I wanted to stop my humble position, but Commander Xu not only refused to listen, but also ordered his officers and soldiers to beat me and my brothers. "
Zhang Erhu touched his slightly swollen left face and felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke.
But Xiao Shanling's face changed when he heard that, his subordinates were beaten up by members of the Huben regiment, it was a trivial matter.
However, shooting foreigners is a big deal.
Especially the British, who also have a consulate in Jinling City. If they find out about this, Xu Qingfeng will be in trouble.
So he hurriedly asked Zhang Erhu: "Do you know the cause and effect?"
Zhang Erhu didn't want to speak for Xu Qingfeng and the others, but when he faced Xiao Shanling's sharp, knife-like gaze, he couldn't help but shudder.
Rushihui reported: "It seems that the British were unwilling to treat the wounded soldiers of the Tiger Regiment and even insulted them."
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaoshan immediately said to an adjutant behind him: "Adjutant Wang, please send me an order immediately. The 1st Military Police Regiment must assemble quickly and rush to the Western Hospital."
Adjutant Wang asked for instructions: "Are you going to surround the Huben Regiment and arrest Xu Qingfeng?"
"No matter what, Xu Qingfeng is our hero of the Anti-Japanese War. How can we arrest a man with meritorious deeds?" Xiao Shanling ordered in a deep voice: "Control the situation first. Don't let Xu Qingfeng make the situation worse again. No arrests are allowed." Arrest, let alone conflict with the Tiger and Ben regiment!"
"The situation is serious. I will go to the garrison headquarters immediately and report to Commander-in-Chief Tang and others."
"Yes!" Adjutant Wang and Zhang Erhu stood up together and responded.
……
Tang Mansion, Jinling Garrison Headquarters.
"What? Xu Qingfeng killed a British guy?" After listening to Xiao Shanling's report, Tang Shengzhi couldn't help being surprised because the situation of the battle was getting worse.
"It is said that it was the British and Guoguo who insulted the soldiers of the Tiger Regiment first." Xiao Shanling was obviously partial to patriotic soldiers like Xu Qingfeng in his heart, so he helped to explain.
Commander Tang frowned and said, "The problem now is not who provokes first, but that the foreigner cannot be killed!
As long as you kill him or try to take advantage of him, that would be a big mistake! "
Luo Youqing also frowned on the side. He knew that Tang Shengzhi was right. In this era when foreigners were superior to others, the serious consequences of shooting a foreigner, even if Xu Qingfeng made a great military exploit that others could not match, might not There is no escape from guilt.
Therefore, for a while, he didn't even know what to do to keep Xu Qingfeng.
Liu Xing and others next to him looked at each other, obviously helpless.
Tang Shengzhi asked: "Brother Xiao, how did you deal with it?"
Xiao Shanling told the truth: "After receiving the news, I have sent a military police regiment to the scene to control the situation, so as not to expand the situation again."
"Well, that's right." Tang Shengzhi nodded after hearing this.
"Chief Commander, how do you plan to deal with this matter?" Luo Youqing asked at this time.
Liu Xing on the side couldn't help but said: "Master Chief, Brother You Qing, I'm afraid the British people won't let this matter go. It must be handled properly, otherwise the consequences will be very serious."
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Liu Xing was speaking to Tang Shengzhi.
Maybe he was worried that he would be hot-headed and protect Xu Qingfeng, thereby offending Westerners who could not afford to offend anyone.
Luo Youqing admired Xu Qingfeng and his Tiger Squad, and naturally he would not sit idly by.
Hearing Liu Xing's subtext, he immediately said: "President, Xu Qingfeng fought bloody battles on the front line, and made great military exploits for the country and the nation.
We can't ignore him! "
Tang Shengzhi said: "Brother You Qing, what you said is reasonable, but once this matter is known to the British, I'm afraid it will be out of your control."
Luo Youqing said: "Can we protect Xu Qingfeng first before the British consuls know about this?
At that time, there will be a lot of room for maneuver. "
Tang Shengzhi pondered for a while, nodded and said, "I hope the British don't know about this yet."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Xiao Shanling: "Brother Xiao, please go there yourself, otherwise I'm afraid ordinary people won't be able to frighten Xu Qingfeng."
"Yes, I'll go right away." Xiao Shanling happily agreed.
Just as he was about to leave, Luo Youqing stopped him and said, "Brother Xiao, you have to move quickly and move Xu Qingfeng away before the British consul.
Otherwise, there will be no room for maneuver on this matter. "
"Brother Luo, don't worry, I know it well." Xiao Shanling nodded, turned around and strode out quickly.
At the British Hospital, some officers and soldiers of the First Gendarmerie Regiment had already arrived at the scene.
Looking at the suffocating troops surrounding the hospital and setting up a guard post, the Tigers and Ben regiments set out to warn the outside world.
A head of the military police who led the team couldn't help frowning, and took the lead to step forward and shouted: "Where is Head Xu?"
"Who are you? Want to see our regiment commander?" A veteran platoon leader of the Huben regiment asked arrogantly.
"Xie Guanghan, the commander of the 1st Gendarmerie Regiment, came here on orders from Commander Xiao to maintain order and let your officers speak out."
Xie Guanghan is also a patriotic soldier, and he respects Xu Qingfeng and the Huben regiment who have repeatedly made military exploits.
In addition, with Xiao Shan Ling's instructions, he would naturally not meet the Tiger Soldiers for a foreigner.
Xu Qingfeng heard the conversation between Xie Guanghan and his subordinates, and walked out from behind his own officers and soldiers, followed by Lei Xiong, Wang Changgui and others.
"Captain Xu!" Xie Guanghan took the initiative to salute Xu Qingfeng as soon as he saw him.
Xu Qingfeng returned the salute and asked in an indifferent tone: "Captain Xie, are you trying to arrest our Tiger Brigade?"
Xie Guanghan stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Brother Xu, I admire you and your Huben group from the bottom of my heart.
However, you have really made a big mistake this time.
Why don't you withdraw first and leave this place to me to maintain order, and wait for the new instructions from the top to see how to deal with the aftermath. "
Seeing that Xie Guanghan was not hostile, Xu Qingfeng's indifferent expression also softened, and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Xu appreciates it.
But my chief of staff is inside, and I won't leave until he's safe. "
"Brother Xu, you killed the British guy. If their consulate finds out, the consequences will be disastrous."
Xie Guanghan continued to persuade in a lowered voice: "Otherwise, you withdraw first, and I promise to let them perform an operation on your chief of staff."
Xu Qingfeng glanced at Xie Guanghan and saw that he had a sincere face, so he must have spoken the truth.
However, Xu Qingfeng didn't believe that he could withstand the coming pressure from all parties, threatening the British guy to continue performing surgery on Liang Shan.
Because, after all, Liang Shan is not his life and death brother.
So, he rejected him and said: "I have made up my mind, brother Xie, don't need to say more."
In fact, Xu Qingfeng was not afraid of any British people, let alone Tang Shengzhi and other commanders of the garrison headquarters, who would hand him over.
The Japanese army is about to launch an attack on Nanjing's city defense line. By then, Nanjing will be in a state of emergency. Commander-in-Chief Tang Shengzhi will probably need himself and the Huben Regiment more than ever to help him resist the Japanese army.
If he really dared to risk the disapproval of the world and hand himself over to the British, then the public opinion at home and abroad alone would kill him.
After finally leading the army to defend Nanjing, the accumulated reputation will collapse in an instant.
His own political and military career can also be brought to an early end.
Besides, Xu Qingfeng had no intention of handing over his guns at all. As long as nearly a thousand veterans of the Huben Regiment were in hand, who in Nanjing could do anything to him?
Of course, Xu Qingfeng was certain that Tang Shengzhi, Xiao Shanling and others would never use force to deal with him and the Huben regiment.
After all, the illustrious military exploits and great reputation that I have fought all the way from the Battle of Songhu are not covered up.
This is also the greatest confidence that he dares to shoot and kill directly.
Of course, it was more because he didn't want to stand by and watch Liang Shan die tragically in Nanjing.
From Sixing Warehouse to now, Liang Shan has followed him through life and death, and has long been as close as a brother.
Such a man who shed his blood for the country and the nation did not die on the battlefield, but died in the city of Nanjing that had not yet fallen.
He can never accept this
These British guys opened hospitals in China and made a lot of money, but they deliberately made things difficult at the critical moment, causing Hua Linrong to die in front of the hospital.
Dare to speak rudely, of course Xu Qingfeng would not swallow his anger, otherwise it would be a waste of this rebirth.
Seeing that Xu Qingfeng was not grateful, Xie Guanghan said anxiously and angrily: "Captain Xu, you are making it difficult for the brothers."
Xu Qingfeng also said angrily: "Don't do it if it's difficult, and take your troops back to your defense area.
If you really have nothing to do, you can go out of the city to the front line and help our 87th Division, 88th Division and other brother units fight against the Japanese invaders. "
"You!" Xie Guanghan's face was livid with anger, and he wanted to say something more.
But Xu Qingfeng had already spoken first and said, "Brother Xie, there is my Huben regiment here to maintain order, so don't worry at all, please go back."
After finishing speaking, Xu Qingfeng turned around and was about to walk inside.
At this moment, a German-made military vehicle roared and came galloping from the distance of the street.
They drove all the way to the guard post of the Huben Regiment before stopping. As soon as the military vehicle stopped, Xiao Shanling jumped down one after another with an adjutant and a guard with live ammunition.
Seeing this, Xie Guanghan hurried forward to greet him: "Commander, why are you here?"
Xiao Shanling nodded slightly as a response, and asked, "How is the situation? It hasn't continued to deteriorate, has it?"
Xie Guanghan said: "No, but Xu Qingfeng is unwilling to leave."
Xiao Shanling immediately walked forward. When he encountered the sentry of the Tiger Regiment, he immediately shouted sternly: "Get out of the way!"
Xie Guanghan echoed from the side and shouted: "This is Commander Xiao, the commander of city defense. Who dares to stop him?"
"I don't know any city defense commander. Without the order of our regiment, even the king of heaven and I can't do it!" The veteran platoon leader over there responded fearlessly.
"Presumptuous!" Xie Guanghan was furious when he heard the words, and immediately drew his gun, and the two battalions of military police behind him also raised their guns and stepped forward.
Seeing this, the officers and soldiers of the Huben regiment raised their guns to greet each other, and the two sides entered a confrontation with less than two meters apart.
Xu Qingfeng turned back when he heard the movement.
He raised his hand to signal his sentry and said, "Don't be rude to Commander Xiao. Put down your guns."
The sentinels put away their guns one after another, but they still stood beside Xu Qingfeng, ready to fight.
Seeing this, Xiao Shanling also raised his hand to signal the gendarmes behind him to close their guns.
Xu Qingfeng looked Xiao Shanling up and down and saluted proactively: "Sir Xiao, what are your instructions?"
Xiao Shanling stepped directly in front of Xu Qingfeng, reprimanded in a low voice with a look of hatred for iron, "Mr. Xu, why are you so impulsive?
You got into big trouble this time, do you know that? "
"The British insulted the anti-war heroes, damn it!" Xu Qingfeng said disapprovingly.
"You can't shoot then. If this thing gets too big, the principal won't even be able to protect you." Xiao Shanling said with a serious face.
He is from Whampoa Phase 3, so he is also called Principal Chang Kaishen.
After saying that, without waiting for Xu Qingfeng to retort, he glanced around and said, "I am here to handle this matter under the orders of Commander-in-Chief Tang and Deputy Commander Luo.
Now you take the troops to evacuate, and I will deal with the aftermath.
As long as the Brit doesn't know you killed the man, there's room for maneuver. "
"Thank you for your kindness, Chief Xiao, but my brother is still inside for resuscitation. I will not leave until his operation is completed."
Xu Qingfeng could also see that the Huangpu senior and city defense commander in front of him was really doing his best, so he spoke more politely.
"Confused!" Xiao Shanling said, "In this autumn when the nation is in peril, when the country is employing people, how can one act on one's will?"
"Mr. Xiao, what a man does and what he doesn't do!" Xu Qingfeng said in a serious voice: "My brothers followed me all the way from Songhu to Nanjing, and made countless contributions. I can't ignore their lives, please forgive me, Mr. Xiao. "
"No, retreat quickly. I'll help you deal with the aftermath. If you delay any longer, it will be too late." Xiao Shanling was worried.
At this moment, another black car with a Union Jack flying on the street in the distance drove up, followed by a military truck also flying the Union Flag. On the truck stood more than ten fully armed British guards. .
The gendarmes may have seen this situation a lot, so they didn't dare to intercept it.
As a result, the two vehicles with the Mi Ziqi flag drove directly to Xiao Shanling and Xu Qingfeng before stopping not far away.
After the car stopped, two Westerners wearing suits, leather boots, and black round felt hats took the lead in getting out of the car in front of them.
The dozen or so armed guards in the truck behind jumped out from the left and right and followed them with guns.
After hearing the sound, Ling Xiao Shan turned around and saw the person clearly. His face darkened and he lowered his voice and said to Xu Qingfeng: "These two are the British consuls in Nanjing. It seems they know about it. Now we are in big trouble."
Xu Qingfeng didn't take it seriously, and watched with cold eyes.
Xiao Shanling took Xie Guanghan and turned around to greet him.
"Consul John, your consular guards have no right to enter unexpected areas of the consulate with guns. How can you bring them here? This is against the rules."
Xiao Shanling took the lead in making the announcement.
The foreigner named John looked at the tight national army that surrounded the hospital, frowned, and said to Xiao Shan with displeasure: "Commander Xiao, we have received news that our citizens of Great Britain have been killed here. To the shooting of soldiers of your country.
It is the duty of our consulate guards to protect the safety of our expatriates. "
Xiao Shan ordered: "There was indeed a shooting here, but the matter is not what you know. I am handling it."
John said: "I want to go over and see our expatriates to ensure their safety."
As he said that, he stepped forward regardless.
Ling Xiao Shan was afraid that he would bump into Xu Qingfeng, so he quickly stopped him and said, "Mr. John, this is China. Even if a shooting incident occurs, it should be handled by our Chinese police."
"I know this, but I want to see our own expats. This shouldn't violate the laws of your country, right?"
John glared at Xiao Shanling with an evil look in his eyes, pushed him away, and continued to lead the way forward.
Soon, they came to Xu Qingfeng and the guard post of the Huben Regiment.
Facing Xu Qingfeng, who was standing with his hands behind his back, with an indifferent face, and the officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment beside him with unkind expressions.
John was not afraid, but shouted in slightly blunt Chinese: "Please get out of the way!"
"No!" Xu Qingfeng refused bluntly.
"Asshole, I want to go in and see our expatriates, you have no right to stop me! Besides, this is a hospital run by our British expatriates." John's deputy yelled angrily.
"That's also in China!" Xu Qingfeng said with a still indifferent expression: "There are military exercises going on here. No unrelated people are allowed to approach, otherwise they will be shot on the spot!"
As soon as Xu Qingfeng said this, the officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment who had put away their guns raised their weapons again.
The muzzles of hundreds of black holes were aimed at John and the group in an instant.
The dozen or so British guards behind them turned pale with fright, and all of them were frightened.
"This is simply unreasonable. Who are you? I want to accuse your headquarters of your brutal behavior!" John turned pale with anger, pointed at Xu Qingfeng and yelled angrily.
"Listen up, I can't change my name even if I don't want to change my surname. Xu Qingfeng, leader of the Huben Regiment, this is not the place for you to run wild, get out of here!"
After Xu Qingfeng finished speaking, he waved his hand.
Lei Xiong, Wang Changgui and other officers and soldiers of the Tiger Regiment all advanced forward with guns in hand.
John and the others were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they all stepped back in unison.
"It's disgusting, you gangsters! I must sue you!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, John rolled and crawled back to the car. Before opening the door, he cursed and got into the car, and then left the scene in despair.
Seeing this, Xiao Shanling couldn't help sighing, looked at Xu Qingfeng surrounded by officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment, and said: "Xu Qingfeng, you have caused enough trouble this time!"
After saying that, he shook his head regretfully and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Xie Guanghan hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Commander, what should we do? Should we withdraw or stay?"
"You stay here. Without my order, no one is allowed to come here to take people, understand?"
Xiao Shanling ordered in a stern manner.
"Yes!" Xie Guanghan answered with understanding.
After Xiao Shanling left in the car, Xu Qingfeng raised his hand to signal the officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment to close their guns.
Xie Guanghan walked straight over and couldn't help but give Xu Qingfeng a thumbs up and said: "Captain Xu, I have something to say, what you just said was really a relief.
Brother, I have been working in Nanjing for so many years, and I have never seen anyone dare to treat foreigners like this. "
"I don't care how others bow their knees. To me, Xu Qingfeng, these Westerners have nothing special about them. They are no different from Japanese pirates. They are wolf ambitions!"
Xu Qingfeng said.
"That's true." Xie Guanghan nodded in agreement and said, "The Eight-Nation Allied Forces also have a share. These Westerners are dominating and oppressing us in China. It's really bad luck!"
"Brother Xie, I see that you are also a bloody man. I hope I can fight side by side with you to defend Nanjing together!"
Xu Qingfeng expressed his feelings.
Xie Guanghan immediately said: "As long as the Japanese invaders come, our gendarmerie is absolutely obliged to fight the enemy side by side with Brother Xu's Huben Regiment and defend Nanjing together!"
……
John and his party were forced back by Xu Qingfeng, and instead of returning to the consulate, they drove straight to Tang Mansion.
In order not to worsen the situation, Xiao Shanling also urged his subordinates to wait for opportunities to speed up along the way.
So, almost in tandem with John, we returned to the outside of Tang Mansion.
"Mr. John, let me take you in." Xiao Shanling saw that John and the others were blocked by guards and took the initiative to step forward.
"Sir Xiao, you saw what Xu Qingfeng did just now. He was provoking us, Great Britain, and insulting our consulate staff. It is an unforgivable crime."
The more John spoke, the angrier he became, wishing he could tear Xu Qingfeng into pieces.
Xiao Shanling wanted to excuse Xu Qingfeng and immediately said: "Mr. John, this matter is not what you think.
Xu Qingfeng's department had indeed received an order to perform military duties near the hospital. "
"Order? Whose order?" John said suspiciously.
"My order!" Xiao Shan ordered: "After learning that a shooting occurred near the hospital, Xu Qingfeng's troops were the closest at the time, so I ordered them to go there first to maintain order."
John snorted coldly: "Commander Xiao, what you said is completely different from what I got.
As far as I know, it was Xu Qingfeng, the head of your Huben Regiment, who shot and killed our overseas Chinese. We will never let this matter go. I want to see your Commander-in-Chief Tang. "
Xiao Shanling's heart sank. It seemed that the foreign devil had already received the news before he rushed to the hospital.
The news should have been leaked by the British guy in the hospital. After all, the hospital has a telephone. The Tiger Squad was busy rescuing people and sealing off the scene, so they definitely couldn't care less about dealing with these details.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shanling said: "In that case, please wait here, Mr. John, while I go in and report to our Commander-in-Chief Tang."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for John to respond, he stepped in.
Seeing this, John was in a hurry and wanted to follow into the Tang mansion, but the guards guarding the gate naturally understood Xiao Shanling's words.
He stretched out his hand and stopped John and others. The foreign devil became furious and kept expressing his dissatisfaction in English and using foul language.
After Xiao Shanling returned, he immediately reported to Tang Shengzhi, Luo Zhuoying and others everything that happened at the hospital, as well as the news that John had learned what had happened.
After hearing this, Tang Shengzhi couldn't help but change his face and said: "The British guy already knows? What should we do?"
At this moment, a communications staff officer suddenly ran over in a hurry, saluted their commanders and said: "Report to the main seat, sirs, urgent report from the front.
The 16th Division of the Japanese Army has broken through our Tangshan frontline position and is attacking our Zijinshan position.
The teaching corps and various units of the 88th Division are fighting fiercely with him.
On the west front, the 6th Division and the 18th Division, after a short rest, marched forward from Moling Pass, and have already advanced to the front of our 87th Division.
The battle is about to begin! "
"The most critical thing is that Jiangbei's Kunizaki Detachment and Shigeto Detachment have successively broken through multiple defense lines of our Jiangbei Garrison and are marching towards Pukou in a hurry."
Upon hearing this, Tang Shengzhi and others were immediately confused.
Tang Shengzhi asked the communications staff directly: "Have the reinforcements from the 2nd Army arrived?"
"I have arrived, and I am resting and building a defense line around Niu Shou Mountain!" The communications staff immediately replied.
"Immediately order the 2nd Army to deploy some troops to assist the 87th Division, 88th Division and other units.
In addition, generate electricity for Hu Zongnan's 1st Army, and ask him to assist our Jiangbei Garrison to guard Pukou, and the Japanese army must not occupy Pukou! "
Tang Shengzhi immediately made contingency arrangements.
"Yes!" The communications officer quickly recorded his order, saluted, and hurriedly turned around to accept the order and left.
Xiao Shanling said: "Boss, how should we deal with Xu Qingfeng's matter? John is still waiting outside, do you see him or not?"
Tang Shengzhi was already confused. With no idea at all, he looked at Luo Youqing, Liu Xing and others and said, "What do you think is the best way to deal with this matter?"
Before Liu Xing could speak, Luo Youqing said first: "Chief, since the front line is in urgent need, I think it is best to transfer Xu Qingfeng's troops to the front line to participate in the battle.
The reason is simple. Instead of handing him over to the British, or dealing with Xu Qingfeng due to pressure from the British.
It would be better to let him lead his troops to fight the Japanese army. Even if he died on the battlefield, it would be better than dying under the oppression of the British. "
Ling Xiao Shan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately nodded in agreement: "Chief Commander, I think Deputy Commander Luo is right.
Xu Qingfeng is our anti-war hero, no matter who is right or wrong in the hospital incident.
If we hand him over to the British, or dispose of him due to pressure from the British.
He is unable to explain to the [-] million people and public opinion. At this point, it is better to put him on the front line and let him serve the country! "
In fact, Luo Youqing and Xiao Shanling didn't really want to push Xu Qingdao to the front line as cannon fodder, but only in this way can they help Xu Qingfeng divert his conflicts and attention.
After all, after several battles, is it up to the officers like them whether Xu Qingfeng lives or dies?
Just say that Xu Qingfeng died in battle. No matter how tough the British guy is, he can only hold his nose and admit it.
When the limelight passes, the worst possible thing to do is change Xu Qingfeng's identity.
Tang Shengzhi, who was upset, didn't know if he had thought of this, and immediately nodded in agreement and said, "Just do it like this!"
Only then did Liu Xing have the time to speak and said, "Chief Commander, have you seen Consul John yet?"
Tang Shengzhi said angrily: "What do you see? Tell him that I'm not at the headquarters. I went to the front to inspect the troops. Tell him to go back and wait."
……
At the hospital, Chen Qifeng quickly ran out of the hospital.
Xu Qingfeng, who was sitting on the steps in front of the hospital smoking and waiting, heard the footsteps, turned around and saw him standing up immediately and asked: "How is it? Has the chief of staff rescued him?"
Chen Qifeng said: "The foreign devil doctor said that the operation has been completed. Whether he can survive depends on the willpower of the chief of staff. The chief of staff is still awake."
At this time, Xiao Shan ordered the car to go back and forth.
Xu Qingfeng was about to go in and take a look when he was stopped by Xiao Shanling who jumped out of the car and raised his hand: "Captain Xu, wait a minute, there is an emergency military order!"
Xu Qingfeng stopped when he heard the sound, turned around and asked, "Sir Xiao, what's going on?"
Xiao Shan ordered: "The garrison headquarters ordered that your troops immediately move out of the 87th Division's position outside the city and stand by."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said to Xu Qingfeng: "The Japanese army has attacked outside the city, and the 88th Division and the Teaching Corps are resisting.
The 87th Division is expected to be at war with the enemy soon. Deputy Commander Luo and I helped you get a chance.
You immediately take the officers and soldiers of the Huben Regiment and rush to the 87th Division to report, and temporarily assign you to the command of the First Regiment.
The regiment leader Zhou Weiguo is your old boss. This way you can avoid the limelight and continue to resist the Japanese army and serve the country. "
