Tu Qianjun received the one hundred MP18s given by Zhang Zuolin and distributed them to the front-line company and platoon leaders without hesitation. In his opinion, these weapons would only be effective if they were put on the battlefield. Keeping them with him would be equivalent to

Scrap iron. You know, the artillery gang also had a lot of MP18s in their hands back then. As a result, most of the artillery gangs kept these firearms in their own guard platoons and did not use them on the frontline battlefield.

Later, they fought several games with the Reds. I don’t know how many people those MP18s could hurt the Reds, but it was true that a lot of them were captured by the Reds. They turned around and directly assembled the front-line troops, which resulted in a bloody blow to the cannon party.

Just as Tu Qianjun was busy training, Huang Xiaoling suddenly left his sight and did not appear again for several days. Tu Qianjun sighed secretly, it seems that the storm has already happened! Huang Xiaoling's sudden disappearance is proof.

Three days after Huang Xiaoling's disappearance, on December 10, 1927, news came from Nanjing that the Artillery Party pretended to be a bald man and returned to office! Wang Wangniao, the leader of the Artillery Party in Wuhan, announced his plan to study abroad. This undoubtedly proved the success or failure of both parties.

The bald man won a great victory, and the barking bird was defeated miserably.

With the bald man taking office, the new Northern Expedition will undoubtedly be restarted again! Naturally, the first to bear the brunt is the Shandong region where Zhang Zongchang is located, so Tu Qianjun decided to return to the Marshal's Mansion to coordinate with Zhang Zuolin about the upcoming Shandong war.

Tu Qianjun was thinking about the upcoming war in the Northern Expedition to Shandong. Historically, in early 1928, after some overt and covert fighting, the bald man joined forces with General Christian and Yan Laojie and decided to form four armies, with the bald man as the commander-in-chief, to jointly carry out "

The Second Northern Expedition" attacked the Feng clique warlords who controlled the power in Beijing, and targeted Zhang Zongchang who ruled Shandong!

The bald man, General Christian, Yan Laoji, and the leaders of the Guangxi faction were respectively appointed commanders-in-chief of the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Group Armies. The force attacking Shandong was mainly Chiang's army, supplemented by General Sun Liangcheng's Second Front Army of Christian. At the same time, Zhang

Zong Changfang

Defensive arrangements were also made, and it was decided that Sun Chuanfang would lead his troops and the first part of the Lu Army to guard Jining and Yanzhou in the southwest of Shandong; Xu Kun and others would lead the main force of the Lu Army to guard Hanzhuang and Taierzhuang in southern Shandong; Fang Yongchang would lead the first part of the Lu Army to guard Linyi in southern Shandong.

Everything is ready!

Subsequently, the battle between the two sides began around April 10th. The Northern Expeditionary Army launched a fierce offensive, conquering Taierzhuang, Tancheng, Yutai, Yuncheng, Juye and other places, and even captured Yanzhou on the 19th! And Zhang Zongchang's Lu Army

Morale was low and they retreated north. Subsequently, the Northern Expedition attacked Zhang Zongchang's hinterland - Jinan!

However, the success of the Northern Expedition caused extreme uneasiness in Japan! On April 19, Japanese Prime Minister Tanaka informed the emperor that he decided to send an additional 5,000 troops from Lieutenant General Fukuda, commander of the Sixth Division, to march to Shandong; in addition, 460 Japanese troops stationed in Tianjin

people and marched towards Jinan. On the 20th, the Japanese troops from Tianjin first arrived in Jinan. The Fukuda troops also arrived in Jinan one after another after landing in Qingdao on the 25th.

After Japan sent troops, both the northern and southern governments of China protested. Although Zhang Zongchang and Lin Xianzu called the Beijing government on the 20th to lodge a "protest" with the Japanese envoys, in fact Zhang Zongchang sent people to negotiate with Japan before the Japanese troops arrived.

At this time, that dog meat

The most despicable aspect of the general appeared: he actually asked Japan to send troops to expel the Southern Army at the expense of the rights and interests of Qingdao and Jiaoji Road. After the Japanese army arrived in Jinan, he personally met with Koichi Nishida, the acting consul general of Japan in Jinan, and asked the Japanese army to provide rapid assistance.

.

On April 30, the Northern Expeditionary Army finally surrounded Jinan on three sides. Zhang Zongchang naturally knew that the bullshit troops under his command could not defend it at all, so he negotiated with the Japanese army and said that he could give up the commercial port to the Japanese army for defense, intending to let the Japanese army and the Southern army

Direct confrontation. Before Zhang Zongchang withdrew from Jinan, he also ordered to give the Japanese

In order to provide military material assistance, he ordered the Finance Department of the Shandong Provincial Office to allocate 500,000 yuan to Tian Youwang, commander of the military police, and 4,000 bags of flour, 3,000 bags of rice, 10,000 long guns, and 200 portable machine guns, which were stored at the Zhenwu Temple in Zhijin City.

An, Yongfeng Flour Mill and Qingxi Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. on Weijiu Road.

He also ordered Tian Youwang and Jiang Huan, the former director of the Qingdao Anti-Smoking Bureau, and some of the Zhilu troops lurking in Jinan to assist the Japanese army in occupying Jinan, prevent the National Army from advancing north-south economically, and wait for the opportunity to act as internal collaborators for Zhang Zongchang to return to Jinan. Because Zhang Zongchang returned to Jinan,

Lure the wolf into the house, Japan

The army took over the defense of the commercial port without any scruples. Zhang Zongchang was at the end of his rope. That night, after having a secret conversation with Nishida Koichi for an hour, he and Sun Chuanfang retreated across the Yellow River in an armored car and fled to Dezhou, leaving only a small part of the army to accompany the Japanese army.

Artillery Party troops fighting.

On May 1st, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th regiments of the Artillery Army entered Jinan and were stationed in the city and Xinzhuang. On the 2nd, the Artillery Party pretended to be a bald man and held a meeting in the former governor's office of Pearl Spring, appointing Fang Zhenwu as the commander of the Jinan garrison and Sun Liangcheng.

He is the chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government, and Cai Gongshi is the special negotiator of Shandong.

At the same time, the bald man's foreign minister, Huang Yong, also entered the city and set up a temporary office at Jinpu Road Bureau. On the same day, Fukuda, commander of the Japanese Sixth Division, led his troops into Jinan and set up a commander's office upstairs at the Japanese Zhengjin Bank.

The Japanese army closely monitored the artillery troops, and then the "May 3rd Massacre" occurred that shocked China and foreign countries!

On the morning of May 3, a soldier of the 40th Army of the Artillery Party was sent to a Christian hospital for treatment due to illness. The Japanese soldiers blocked the passage and a dispute broke out. The Japanese soldiers suddenly opened fire and killed one Chinese soldier and one Chinese servant on the spot.

The soldiers fled into the hospital. The Japanese soldiers surrounded the hospital and fired machine guns, causing numerous casualties.

At 9 o'clock, Wei Yunbin, a propagandist of the 26th Army of the Artillery Party, was doing street propaganda on Linxiang Street when he was blocked by a Japanese sentry. Then a squad of the Japanese army and more than a hundred Japanese ronin arrived and opened fire on Wei Yunbin and the residents present, killing them on the spot.

Several people were killed and wounded. After that, gunshots broke out all over the commercial port, and more than 3,000 Japanese troops were dispatched to launch a surprise attack on the Chinese military and civilians!

At that time, the two battalions of the 7th Regiment of the 3rd Division of the 40th Army of the Artillery Party, the 1st Regiment of the 37th Army, the 1st Battalion of the 89th Division's Supplementary Regiment and other units were first attacked by the Japanese!

At that time, the garrison was unprepared and had no orders to resist. Except for a few troops who were forced to fight back, most of them were captured and disarmed! Afterwards, according to field investigations by Jinan Red Cross and other groups, as many as a thousand soldiers and civilians were killed by the Japanese army that day.

!

Some soldiers of the 40th Army of the Artillery Party and officers and soldiers of the 90th and 92nd Divisions of the 41st Army resisted and quickly withstood the Japanese attack! Unfortunately, the Artillery Party pretended to be a bald man and was shocked after hearing the news! He immediately

Ordered 10 staff officers to form a messenger squad, go to various ministries and order an immediate stop to fight back against the Japanese army, and sent Huang Yong, Xiong Shihui and others to the headquarters of the Japanese Sixth Division to negotiate.

During the negotiation process, the Japanese army successively occupied the Jinan Post Office, Telegraph Office and other institutions, and blew up the Chinese radio station, killing all the soldiers guarding the station.

That afternoon, the Japanese army surrounded the Shandong Negotiation Office located at Jingsi Road and Xiaowei 6th Road, Jinan Commercial Port. At this time, Cai Gongshi had just taken over the work of the Negotiation Office.

Cai Gongshi, who was the special negotiator of Shandong at the time, argued hard but was tied up. Cai Gongshi studied in Japan and enrolled in the Department of Political Science and Economics at Tokyo Imperial University, so he was proficient in Japanese! He immediately spoke in Japanese and severely condemned the Japanese army for violating international law and brutally infringing on Chinese diplomatic institutions and diplomacy.

behavior of personnel.

It's a pity that how did this scholar know that international law is just a piece of paper to wipe his ass in front of guns and guns?! So the Japanese officer directly ordered the soldiers to raise their bayonets and "knocked or stabbed everyone's head and face" on the tied up Cai Gongshi and others.

". Cai Gongshi's ears and nose were cut off, and his face was covered with blood. He was still high

He shouted: "The Japanese army is determined to kill us. When will this national humiliation be overturned? Wild beasts, the Chinese can be killed but not humiliated!" After hearing this, the colleagues burst into tears and cursed the Japanese army. The Japanese army became even more angry and ordered Cai Gongshi and 17 other people to be killed.

Their clothes were torn off, they were humiliated in every possible way, and then they were all shot in the courtyard of the Negotiation Office!

Except for one person who managed to escape, the rest were brutally killed! On the morning of May 4, gunfire broke out again in Jinan, and bombs fell into the provincial governor’s office and headquarters, killing 19 Chinese soldiers and civilians. The entire

The artillery troops passed by without even farting! At night, the artillery troops evacuated the commercial port. The next day, they withdrew from Jinan in batches, leaving only 3,000 people from the First Army and the 41st Army to move into the city.

On the same day, the Artillery Party pretended to be bald men and held a meeting in Dangjiazhuang. It was decided that all armies would bypass Jinan and cross the river to march north. Cui Shijie would take over Cai Gongshi's duties and go to Jinan to be responsible for continuing to fight with the Japanese army to kill their diplomats and bombard their official offices, which they treated like shit.

Negotiations. Unfortunately, the Japanese were not grateful. After learning that the artillery troops crossed the river and headed north, they directly sent more than ten aircraft to follow and bombard the troops crossing the river. They also shelled the troops crossing the river, causing heavy casualties to the artillery troops.

On May 5, the Japanese troops fired at random on the roads from Pulimen to Jinan Railway Station, intercepted vehicles, and fired machine guns, killing more than 50 people on the spot. On the 8th, the Japanese troops broke into homes and arrested innocent residents. Then they used

Iron wires were pierced through the flesh, and they were tortured in every possible way until they were killed! After that, the Japanese army occupied Jinan for more than a year.

So far, the entire May 3rd Massacre started with Zhang Zongchang luring the wolf into the house, and ended with the artillery gang pretending to be a bald man and being beaten and compromising and running away. The entire Chinese army fought you to death when they were on their own, but when faced with foreigners, they all chose to avoid fighting.

.Even if someone throws their feces and urine on your head, you still do it! You are so well-educated!

It is worth mentioning that on May 12, 1928, the Artillery Party government issued an explicit order to praise Cai Gongshi and 17 other people. The important people of the Artillery Party government pretended to be bald men, Li Liejun, Yu Youren, the leader of the Guangxi clique, General Christ, Sun Ke, Song Ziwen,

Chen Lifu, Kong Xiangxi, Wang Zhengting and others wrote inscriptions and framed words of praise.

But the irony is that in June 1930, Cai Gongshi's wife Guo Jingluan excavated Cai Gongshi's remains at the Shandong Negotiator's Office where Cai Gongshi was killed, and his attempt to bury him was miraculously blocked. This box of bones was transported to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nanjing for no reason.

It was lost downstairs and in the basement and no one took care of it!

On December 13, 1937, when the Japanese army invaded Nanjing and the Artillery Party government retreated from Chongqing, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs directly discarded the bones in the basement and ran away.

After Japan surrendered, the Artillery Party government was still in Nanjing. At this time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs finally remembered that there was Cai Gongshi in the basement, so he went down to look for it but found that the bones were missing. Since then, there has been no trace of the hero's body.
Chapter completed!
