In fact, if they were just transporting arms, the Japanese would never send a squadron of troops to protect them. The drunkard's intention was not to drink, but these funds were what they wanted to protect.
The Japanese are not fools either. Zhang Tinglan made huge profits by smuggling to Russia, and the Japanese also took a fancy to the Russian market. Especially after the arms agreement was reached, the Japanese hoped to reach into Russia and take advantage of this opportunity to transport arms.
, shipped a sum of money to Russia as a stepping stone to bribe officials in the Far East.
As a result, the brick was intercepted by the Feng army before it reached Russia. Of course, Zhang Tinglan didn't know the Japanese plan, but such a huge sum of money was definitely a windfall. Zhengjin Bank had just run a run on the banknotes, so he couldn't take advantage of it.
These yen severely hit Zhengjin Bank.
Even if they can't completely defeat Zhengjin Bank, they still have to take a bite of the meat and let the little devils run rampant. Soon they will cry. Zhang Zuoxiang was also shocked by the yen and hurriedly asked his men to seal the safe and load it into the car.
Transport away.
However, Zhang Tinglan asked someone to reserve another 200,000 yuan and prepare to give it to Sun Anhu, asking him to spread the money among the other two teams of carriages to confuse the Japanese.
At this time, the horse-drawn carriage team had arrived. Yang Yuting directed his men to quickly move the treasures on the train. First, heavy artillery, machine guns, then production lines, maintenance equipment, everything was broken into parts, and then loaded into trucks and quickly transported away. Finally, there were boxes and boxes.
All the ammunition was also transported away.
After working for more than three hours, most of the things were finally transported. At this time, Yang Yuting suddenly became excited and called Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan over.
"Brigadier, what do you think this is?" Yang Yuting was unloading something like a wooden box from the carriage.
With the light of the torch, Zhang Tinglan saw that there were some knobs and pointers on it, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"This isn't a field radio station, is it?"
"I have a good eye, this is what I mean." Yang Yuting said very excitedly: "If the heavy artillery unit wants to be effective, it cannot attack randomly. It must be commanded and guided by reconnaissance soldiers, so that it can hit accurately and hard! Yes!
The addition of a radio makes communication between the scouts and the artillery much easier. If it is equipped with a telephone, the combat effectiveness of the heavy artillery battalion will instantly increase exponentially!"
Zhang Tinglan was also very happy. Radio stations are not a new thing. They have been widely used in World War I. However, the Chinese army does not have much equipment. Most local troops are not even equipped with guns. How can they expect other things? Moreover, China is also seriously
It lacks enough operators and is therefore seriously behind the pace of the world.
"Look, how many are there?"
Yang Yuting asked his men to carry and count them, and then said with a smile: "There are a total of twenty units, which is not too small. Now the entire 27th Division, including the Independent Brigade, does not have one!"
"That's right, but after we go back, we have to recruit communications troops again!"
"I'd like to say that my powers are vast, so I won't be able to trouble you with this matter!"
"Let's transport it back first, while it's dark, the sooner the better!"
After working for five hours, it was already midnight, and finally everything was transported away. At this time, Sun Anhu led the Russian mercenaries and came over. They were responsible for destroying the Japanese defenders along the way. Zhang Tinglan and the others were here
We also heard the sound of gunshots like exploding beans from time to time. It was obvious that the exchange of fire was fierce.
Sun Anhu quickly walked up to Zhang Zuoxiang and said loudly: "Brother, these old guys are so cruel. Not only did they kill the Japanese soldiers, they also chopped off their heads and hung them on the telephone poles, just like a bunch of watermelons.
of!"
"If a dog bites a dog, don't worry about them. Let's retreat quickly."
Zhang Tinglan also knew that Japan and Russia were old enemies and had developed hatred during the Russo-Japanese War. Moreover, the mercenaries Zhang Tinglan found were all from anti-war organizations. They hated the Czar and also hated Japan, which supplied arms to Russia.
It is understandable that he would be ruthless because of old hatred.
While I was talking, the sky had turned gloomy, and it began to rain. As the saying goes, one autumn rain and another cold, the icy rain fell on our bodies, and everyone felt bone-chilling. However, this rain was also very timely, and the cold rain fell on everyone.
The situation on the battlefield was all covered up.
Zhang Zuoxiang, Zhang Tinglan, and Yang Yuting led the main force, plus fifty large vehicles, to quickly retreat eastward. Sun Anhu commanded these Russian mercenaries to carry ten carriages each, carrying some ammunition, towards Jilin and Inner Mongolia.
Withdraw, each team still took 50,000 yen with them.
If you want to make a fake show, it will definitely not work if it is all fake. The Japanese are not fools, so half truth and half truth are the most important. These Russian mercenaries participating in the operation are all from organizations that oppose the Tsar.
They do have strongholds in China, and after the outbreak of World War I, these Russians often crossed Heilongjiang and ran to China to rob homes and houses, and they often attacked railways.
It was precisely because of these circumstances that Zhang Tinglan dared to use the Russians to be blamed. These mercenaries would transport ammunition to secret strongholds in Jilin and Inner Mongolia. Of course, these strongholds were also deliberately exposed in order to confuse other countries.
There are even several lower-level members of the resistance organization placed in the stronghold. Their knowledge is limited and they are treated as outcasts.
If these people are caught, all countries will think that everything is planned by the Russians, and that China's public security is at best a loophole. These mercenaries are not in vain. Zhang Tinglan also has to spend a lot of money to use Russia's smuggling network.
Provide them with money, food, and even military intelligence.
They were originally opposed to the Tsar. This kind of thing that humiliated the Tsarist government and benefited themselves was absolutely what they wanted. If the Chinese were to do this kind of thing, they would be worried about exposing their own strength and would be a little hesitant. But according to the Russians
Thinking, I wish I could be more exposed. This is the best advertisement, which can expand my influence and gain more attention and support.
Therefore, the cooperation between the two parties is to get what they need. The Russian mercenaries left quickly with ammunition. Sun Anhu led a team of people and rushed to Jilin. He wanted to solve the counterfeit currency case smoothly, and he didn't have to worry about the debt.
Let the Russians be blamed.
Everyone evacuated, and the once bustling battlefield returned to a deadly silence. An entire squadron of dead Japanese soldiers lay scattered on the ground. Blood and water mixed with rain, dyeing the soil red, and a pungent stench enveloped the small area.
small valley.
The Manchuria Railway is the main artery for Japan to control the Northeast. The slightest disturbance will attract the attention of Japan's top management. A large number of armed men attacked the Manchurian Railway, killing and wounding the Japanese defenders. News soon spread to the Manchurian Railway's headquarters.
At this time, the notoriously criminal Kwantung Army had not yet been formally established. The person responsible for the garrison in the Northeast was the Kwantung Governor's Office. The current governor was Lieutenant General Nakamura Yujiro. He also served as the president of the South Manchuria Railway. He held military and administrative power in his hands, and at the same time
And economic power.
Nakamura Yujiro is simply the emperor of the Northeast, the overseas emperor sent by Japan. The Manchuria Railway was attacked by armed elements. No one dared to delay such a huge thing, and quickly reported it to Nakamura. After Nakamura saw it, he suddenly became furious.
He was furious, but Nakamura was a cunning man. He also got the report that an important batch of arms was going to be shipped to Russia at about the same time.
Nakamura immediately felt something was wrong. He hurriedly ordered the Japanese garrison along the line to take quick action to protect the safety of the military columns and attack the invading enemies.
Although the order was issued, it was not so easy to act quickly. The main force of the Japanese garrison was in southern Manchuria, that is, in the Dalian area of Lushun. The place of the accident was near Changtu, which happened to be in the north of Fengtian Province and close to Jilin.
This is the weak link in Japan's defense.
Although Japan had troops stationed along the line, these troops had to protect the safety of the railway line first and were unable to provide any assistance. It took more than four hours before the Japanese assembled two squadrons of troops in Tieling and then quickly moved north.
By the time they arrived at Xiaowangzhuang, it was just past one o'clock in the morning. Zhang Tinglan and the others had led the convoy to leave for two or three hours. At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the Japanese soldiers didn't care anymore and rushed to the valley in the rain.
, look carefully.
The train was still parked there. Apart from the front end being blown up, there was not much damage, but there was not even a screw in the carriage. The Japanese looked at both sides of the track and suddenly felt a rush of cold air rushing from the soles of their feet.
Above the head, everyone's heart tightened.
On the hillsides on both sides, there were two large piles of corpses piled up and down, just like two small hills. It was particularly scary in the rainy night. Several Japanese walked in and took a look. All of these dead corpses were Japanese.
, and it was extremely miserable. Most people's heads were smashed and their brains were drained, leaving only broken empty ladles that looked like rotten watermelons.
There were more than 200 Japanese soldiers in a squadron, and not a single one survived. For many years, the death of one or two Japanese was already a huge case. Every time, the Chinese governments at all levels were disgraced.
A total of two hundred people died at one time, which can be said to be a bolt from the blue.
When the leading Japanese officer saw this afterimage, he was immediately confused and hurriedly reported to Yujiro Nakamura. At the same time, he urged all Japanese soldiers to get off the train and search everywhere to find the murderer.
At this time, the intelligence one after another was also gathered together. A few hours ago, with Xiaowangzhuang as the center and within a dozen kilometers around, the Japanese railway garrison troops were attacked by the Russians. Almost all the Japanese garrison troops were killed.
A large number of heads were hung on street light poles.
No one could hide such explosive news. The Guandong Governor's Office reported it to the country as soon as possible, and Lao Yuan also received the report immediately. During this period, Yuan Shikai was very proud and met with public opinion representatives from various provinces to prepare for his ascension to the throne.
position, making the final sprint, and this happened, and Yuan Shikai suddenly became furious.
"How did it happen? Who can explain to me what is going on?"
