The Republic of Heroes

Tao Xianggui opened the chatter box and started talking endlessly.It turned out that Meng Enyuan was seriously injured in the Taiping Bridge car bombing case and was admitted to Fengtian Hospital. Since then, he lost contact with his subordinates. As a result, there was a power vacuum in Jilin Province. Gao Fengcheng took the opportunity to collude with the Japanese in Kuanchengzi. , but was quickly defeated by Zhang Zuolin's Fengjun and committed suicide.

Zhang Zuoxiang, who was the commander of the 27th Division at the time, was officially appointed as the governor of Jilin by the order of the Beiyang government with the support of Zhang Zuolin. From the beginning of his tenure, he began to drastically rectify Jilin's military affairs, rejecting dissident guardians, and placing confidantes. Controlled most of Jilin Province south of the Middle East Road.Not long ago, Liu Xiangjiu, the guardian envoy of Funong, was caught by Zhang Zuo for an excuse to fight against Zhang Zuo, and was arrested and shot. His methods were vicious and ruthless. The guard envoys of the Middle East Road, headed by Ren Fuyuan, had long since lost their nerve and were in constant panic. .

When Wu Xiaoliang heard this, he had a general understanding of the situation in Jilin Province. It turned out that Zhang Zuoxiang did not completely control Jilin Province, and this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.He interrupted Tao Xianggui's chatter.Although he had already made up his mind to intervene in Zhang Zuoxiang's action to integrate various forces in Jilin Province, Wu Xiaoliang still didn't want to be too active, at least he couldn't let the few people in front of him who wanted him see it.

"Tao Zhen, let's talk about Zhang Zuoxiang's matter later, let's investigate these unidentified gangsters first!"

Tao Xianggui was suddenly a little overwhelmed by Wu Xiaoliang, but soon recovered, and followed Wu Xiaoliang to check the piles of corpses on the ground.Wu Xiaoliang squatted down and took off the shoes and socks of the corpses one by one, and then turned up their palms to examine them carefully. As he looked down at each corpse, his complexion gradually became serious.Tao Xianggui discovered this change, and asked cautiously, "What did you discover, Commander?"

"This is not a Chinese soldier!"

"Why can I see it when I take off my shoes and socks? Please tell me!"

Tao Xianggui asked curiously, seeing Wu Xiaoliang at such a young age at first, he still had a little bit of a drum in his heart for his ability, now seeing that he just checked the corpses, he dared to be so sure that these corpses were not Chinese soldiers, did he still feel that He was a little pretending to be surprising.

Wu Xiaoliang knew that they must be puzzled, so he pointed to the sole of one of the corpses. "Look at the soles of these soldiers' feet, although they are rough, they have no calluses." After finishing speaking, he ordered a soldier beside him.

"Take off your shoes and socks."

Tao Xianggui and other soldiers took off their shoes and socks and took a closer look. They saw calluses and cracks on their feet, and there were even scars left by frostbite.

"This this……"

Tao Xianggui seemed to understand, but he couldn't think of the crux of the problem for a while.

"Most of the local soldiers in China are farmers and mountain people. They are extremely poor on weekdays and have always worked barefoot. Therefore, thick calluses and scars are two inevitable signs. Especially in the Northeast, many people are extremely cold in winter and because they cannot afford cotton. shoes, and are often frostbitten. Look at the soles of these people, although they are rough, there are no scars or thick calluses."

Wu Xiaoliang saw that everyone seemed puzzled, so he pointed to the bare feet of a dead body and started an on-site explanation.Everyone suddenly realized after listening to it, but their hearts were even heavier.If this pile of corpses does not belong to any Chinese army, then there is only one possibility, they are Japanese!

Thinking of this conclusion, Tao Xianggui couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He had heard that this person had beaten the Japanese terribly in Vladivostok, and since then forged a blood feud with him.So it seems that the rumors are indeed true, can arrange two car bombings in one night, and even the raid troops are ready, even with triple insurance, I really want to put Wu Xiaoliang to death, but they are all caught by this young-looking man. The big young general, easily resolved, even the Japanese suffered consecutive losses in front of him, this man is not easy!

Thinking of this place, Tao Xianggui couldn't help feeling rejoicing. It seems that the brothers chose the right person. It was an extremely correct decision to come here at the risk of offending the Japanese and breaking with Zhang Zuoxiang tonight.

Wu Xiaoliang looked at Tao Zhenshi who was a little stunned, and naturally he didn't expect that his thoughts had turned eighteen times.

"How can the Japanese come to the sphere of influence of the Russians to commit murder? Are they not afraid of Russian protests?"

The senior staff officer around Wu Xiaoliang thought that the question in his mind was expressed. In his opinion, the Middle East Road was the territory of the Russians. The Japanese dared to come here to show their provocation to Russia. However, the Middle East Railway Bureau is still operating as usual. If it makes a mistake and accidentally causes an international incident, it will not be worth the loss.He obviously had a simple idea. This kind of behavior similar to gambling is in line with their hearts. At this moment in Japan, from the cabinet to the ordinary soldiers, they are all gamblers. They are born to like to gamble. If they win, they will win a lot If the bowl is full, lose it cleanly, otherwise there will be no Pearl Harbor incident decades later, it's just a little bit of luck, and the loser will be worthless.

"If the old man is here, it will be easy to handle. There is civil strife in their country, and they can no longer take care of the Middle East Road. As early as years ago, their Middle East Railway Administration had entrusted Ren Zhen to form the Middle East Road Guard Army. Commander of the Route Guard Army, I am the deputy commander. Nowadays, no one can restrain Little Japan!"

Tao Xianggui had absolutely no idea at the moment. Since he led the troops here to fight, he had no way of turning back. He could only follow Wu Xiaoliang all the way to Hei. The matter was his own. He asked extremely nervously and cautiously:

"Marshal, what should we do next? You must save the brothers..."

Wu Xiaoliang saw this dignified Ning'a Township envoy crying again, and quickly interrupted him: "The sphere of influence of the Japanese Manchukuo garrison is in South Manchuria, and North Manchuria is your brother's territory. Is the main army still in charge?" Are you afraid of the guest army?"

Tao Xianggui didn't hold back at all at the moment, and strongly denied: "Our brothers are not the opponents of Little Japan, even the old man was beaten by them, and we will be cannon fodder if we go up! From now on, our brothers will Relying on you, handsome!"

Wu Xiaoliang smiled: "Do you want to be cannon fodder? Not necessarily! If Little Japan dares to come to the Middle East Road to play wild, my Suidong Army will definitely tell him to come and go!"

What Tao Xianggui waited for in the middle of the night was Wu Xiaoliang's words, and a big stone fell from his heart, "With the words of the Marshal, it is the blessing of our people in Ning'a!"However, before Wu Xiaoliang could hear these words clearly, the sound of rumbling artillery suddenly exploded, and several explosion sparks instantly exploded on the hillside hundreds of meters away. A scorching air wave rushed over.

Are the Japanese coming again?
