Back to the Republic of China as a commander

The retreat of more than 1 people was easier said than done, when the First Regiment of the Supplementary Brigade was coaxed by Ma Jizeng's heavy rewards and launched a desperate charge towards the main position of Zhujiaqiao against the fierce firepower of the Youth Army.Zhou Wenbing, Zhang Zhonghe, and Huang Zhenkui have already retreated towards Wenjiaping with their troops.

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

Sure enough, it was not easy. On the night of January 1, just as Ma Jizeng was about to retreat across the board, the fleet transferred from the Xiangjiang River by Governor Tang Xiangming caught fire. . .

Wu Junmei, male, Han nationality, 27 years old, from Zhuzhou, Hunan, has been working in the dock since childhood.Because of being brave and ruthless but also very loyal, Wu Junmei, who is not tall, has gained her own prestige among the people who are begging for life at the dock over time.

At the end of the second year of the Republic of China, He Jian was ordered to set up the Military Intelligence Bureau, and Wu Junmei, whom He Jian had known since childhood, was naturally developed into the organization. At first, the Military Intelligence Bureau did not pay much attention to this pawn, except for a certain amount of funds allocated on a monthly basis. No more errands arranged.

But Wu Junmei is very righteous. In just two or three years, she has quietly developed more than 40 people in the boatman team.

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

Although some people are small in stature, they have a lot of ghost ideas. Wu Junmei is such a person.The task assigned to him by the Military Intelligence Bureau is to drive away or destroy all the ferries. If this task is to be completed, it can be said that there is almost no chance of death.Because Ma Jizeng is not a rookie, he is a veteran who has led troops for many years. There are a total of 5 big ships, and [-] soldiers are guarded on board every day, just to prevent accidents in the fleet at critical times.

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

But cats have cat ways, dogs have dog ways, Wu Junmei has his own tricks, and he is destined to be included in the history of combat compiled by the Military Intelligence Bureau.

On the night of January 1, the entire Wenjiaping area was busy dismantling, packing, and packing up.In the old port where the fleet was moored, Wu Junmei and the owner of the ship went to invite the battalion commander who guarded the fleet to eat dog meat hot pot.

"Boss, it can't be done tonight. Didn't you see that the Wenjiaping side is brightly lit? Our family Zeng Shuai has already sent someone to send a message. There is a big move tomorrow, and we need to use a boat. Brother, don't dare to leave your post without authorization." .”

"Captain Hou, this is your mistake. If you are on the same boat, you are a family. In the cold weather, the brothers who ran the boat managed to get the best dog meat from the shore. I would like to ask you to eat it A hot pot, don't you give face? You are an official and we are civilians, so you don't look down on us, do you?" Wu Junmei resorted to aggressive methods.

"No, no, absolutely no such meaning, but my brother is a soldier, so I'm afraid that he will miss Zeng Shuai's affairs, which requires military law to deal with," Battalion Commander Hou quickly explained.

"It's not a problem, Battalion Commander Hou. If you eat some dog meat and drink some wine on the boat and don't get off the boat, the person in charge of the boat is also your brother. It's not a problem." The battalion commander is a good person after all. Hearing what the ship owner said, it was naturally difficult to refuse.

"I said that you southerners are too polite and enthusiastic. Well, well, tomorrow I will point to the brothers to buy some strength. Let's go and see what it feels like."

But what Battalion Commander Hou didn't expect was that the officer leading the team had just left, and the soldiers on each boat on the back foot also received invitations from the boatmen. Except for one on duty, the other 400 people were concentrated in the boat. The delicious dog meat hot pot was eaten on the five boats, and the whole fleet was filled with the smell of dog meat.

Ship A No. [-] was the ship closest to Wenjiaping in the entire fleet. A Beiyang soldier wrapped in winter clothes was shivering in the cold river wind.From time to time, the smell of dog meat mixed with the smell of wine drifted past his nose, and the tall Beiyang soldier was so angry that he cursed angrily: "These grandsons know how to bully me to be honest, and they actually forced me to stay and guard the boat. You just can’t eat a single bite, you’re all bastards.” After speaking, the soldier couldn’t help but look up at the starry sky, he was homesick, and it’s been two years since he came out of his hometown in Hubei with Zeng Shuai. good.

Just as he was thinking about it, two black shadows tiptoed towards him, and finally stretched out a big hand to cover the soldier's mouth, exposing his neck from the back.And the other hand held a small knife and wiped the soldier's neck like killing a chicken. The soldier struggled a few times, stopped moving, and then fell to the ground with a crooked body. The same situation happened in almost all ships. It happened, and more than 100 Beiyang soldiers died.

"Hurry up, pour oil, let the other brothers leave in small boats, and give them all the foreign money. Whether they can run or not is their own luck. If anyone doesn't listen to the call, he will be killed directly, don't I missed Brother Mei's important matter," a burly man ordered in a low voice in Xiangtan dialect, and the fleet suddenly panicked. . .

In the cabin, Battalion Commander Hou, who was greedy for drinking, was drunk, and the situation on the other four boats was similar, but instead of drinking too much, he was given sweat medicine, and he turned over when he drank.Let's just say next, Wu Junmei glanced at the drunk commander Hou and said to the brothers: "The business that we have done today is overwhelming, so there is no room for any personal affair. The people on these five boats must die, so as not to die in the future. Someone is looking for us to avenge, let's do it."

However, Wu Junmei still missed one point, that is, besides herself and others, there are many boatmen who rely on boats for food.Therefore, on some ships, the boatmen resisted, which also prevented more than 30 ships from being burned in the end.

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

Ma Jizeng stared blankly at the burning fleet, and the raging flames reflected on his face, which turned blue and purple.Ma Baochen, who was firmly opposed to the retreat before, also believed that Ma Jizeng's judgment was correct, so he stood behind and dared not speak again.

After a long time, Ma Ji sighed: "Go, send someone to give a death order to the Sixth Regiment, and let Zhang Songbai blow up all the cannons for me. Let's hurry up and escape."

Ma Baochen hesitated for a moment and said: "Commander, if we, Brother Wanbahao, stand firm here, the youth army may not be able to do anything to us."

Ma Jizeng was really not in the mood to mock Ma Baochen: "Little Ma, if it is Li County now, we can't stick to it, and we can follow your way of thinking. But now look at the terrain, surrounded by water on both sides, and the youth army You don't need to attack us, just repair the position and block us in this wild field. In half a month, we will run out of ammunition and food, and finally we can only fight the white flag. This time, the old man was careless and underestimated the strength of the youth army Strength, even sending out troops rashly without guaranteeing logistics and supplies, this is killing you. Withdraw quickly, I will take the division headquarters on board now, and we will talk after crossing the Yuanjiang River. In addition, I will send a telegram to Changsha Laotang and let him Send troops to rescue. As for your immediate responsibility to organize the blocking line, how many brothers can escape, it depends on God's fortune..."

On the same night in Anjiang, Wang Zhenyu's private residence.Wang Zhenyu is taking an exam on Shen Quan's homework. The nine-year-old Shen Quan is currently in the third grade of Anjiang National Elementary School. Although this kid is usually very obedient, the manly taste in his bones has also become stronger.Wang Zhenyu was very concerned about his adopted son's homework, and this incident also caused the education authorities to pay close attention to the teaching of elementary schools. This is probably a domino effect.

This afternoon, Wang Zhenyu had already talked with Frankie for an hour.It turned out that the British and the French had great interest in Wang Zhenyu's rise.Ah, what kind of rhythm is this? This is obviously the rhythm of looking for an agent.

Wang Zhenyu is not a fool. There is nothing wrong with cooperating with foreigners, but there must be benefits, and the benefits are too low. It is even more insensitive to verbally support such a waste of money.

But according to Frankie, apart from diplomatic contact this time, there is still business to be negotiated.

It seems that from the third year of the Republic of China to the present, the two major iron and steel factories in Anjiang and Liuzhou have not sold a ton of steel except for their own use.In Luyang and Laibin, Wang Zhenyu even set up two large warehouses to store the 300 million tons of unsold steel.

Of course, the inability to sell is not because of poor quality, but because Wang Zhenyu has no plans to compete with the Japanese who control the Asian steel market.Not only steel, textiles, oil, and various strategic materials such as pig temples have been hoarded by Wang Zhenyu, but the Xiangxi Development Corporation is under huge pressure of losses to forcibly hoard the goods, which has caused the prices of various materials on the market to soar.Since the War to Protect the Nation broke out at this time, everyone naturally attributed this to the war rather than Wang Zhenyu's speculation.

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

Wang Zhenyu knew in his heart that when he hoarded these supplies, he didn't plan to use them in the war to protect the country. The Beiyang Army that fought against Yuan Shikai would not be able to use so many supplies.From the very beginning, he planned to sell these supplies to white people in Europe so that they would work harder to kill each other.Of course, even if you want to sell it, you have to sell it for a good price. Is it easy for the painstaking efforts that Brother has accumulated since four years ago?If I don't get some money from you, I will be sorry for myself.
