Ma Quanyou's troops were very efficient. In the early morning of the next day, a group of arrogant carbine cavalry appeared on the other side of the river.
Moreover, a simple wooden fence and sacks of sand and soil were soon piled up at the other end of the wooden bridge.
At noon, a soldier on horseback ran over on the wooden bridge.
On the other side of the bridge, the infantry battalion of Tangyang Brigade also made a stop. The other cavalry reported that its commander, Company Commander Ma, wanted to meet with your commander to discuss the issue of demarcation and defense zones. He also asked which branch of the Montenegrin Army your unit belonged to. department? Who is the chief?
In the RV at this time, Lu Ming was frowning as he read a telegram.
The Japanese garrison in Haixi increased to two divisions, the 12th Division and the 15th Division, that is, the Baqi Road Division and the Ouyue Road Division.
A Japanese division has nearly 30,000 people, which means that the Japanese garrison in Haixi has increased its troops to more than 50,000 people.
Moreover, the families of the commanders of these two divisions all had old grudges with themselves.
Kato Shoichi, a descendant of the Kato family of Yamataichi Road, committed suicide in fear of being punished when he was about to be hanged on the East China Sea.
One of the direct descendants of the Okutsuchi Kawamoto family died at the hands of Qing'e in Shengjing.
These two families are loyal supporters of Japanese Prime Minister Yamamoto Yu who pursues expansionism and are important members of the Kansai Group.
The Military Intelligence Section cable also said that in Haixi, the Japanese set up the Haixi Expedition Army Headquarters. The commander-in-chief was Tsuyoshi Kawamoto. He was the younger brother of Lord Kawamoto of Otsudo. He was young and powerful and was one of the famous Japanese generals.
】
The Military Intelligence Section also learned that the Japanese have recently had intensive interactions with officials from the Northern Xinjiang Province. The Northern Xinjiang Province is likely to reach a secret agreement with them, at least in the carve-up of Anshan, and the two sides will cooperate. Avoid being seized by the Montenegro and Longbei coalition forces to capture a larger sphere of influence.
Lu Ming slowly put down the telegram.
There are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
This sentence is obviously the current situation in the Northern Territory.
While he was thinking about it, a red feather guard got into the RV and talked about the messenger coming from the other side of the river.
"Oh, the other party is a cavalry company. We also sent the company commander to meet with him. Isn't the checkpoint in charge of the third company? Let the third company contact him. However, we do not recognize Ma Quanyou's right to rule Songshan Road. , Therefore, except for illegal armed personnel, our side will open the ferry and bridge unconditionally to facilitate the movement of people from both sides. At the same time, we require the Ma Quanyou Department to withdraw from Songshan Road." Lu Ming smiled and said, "Tell Company Commander Gao of the Third Company that this is it. Tell the other party not to think that his little company commander’s words are ridiculous, because since he has come forward to deal with Ma Quanyou’s department, then every word he says represents our official attitude.”
Hong Ling stood at attention and said, "Yes!" He turned around and got out of the car.
Lu Ming looked at the Kan sisters beside him, "Write a letter to Kan Santai of Songshan City. According to seniority, he is your clan uncle, but in the past, I couldn't curry favor with your sisters, right?"
Sisters Kan Shouxi and Kan Shouyi both received modern education, but due to family pressure, they married the same person as equal wives. They both wore the same light blue dress with a butterfly collar, pale yellow socks, and black high-heeled sandals. Shu Wan is beautiful.
Lu Ming had never come across the type of Kan sisters. The new women of the Republic of China who received new education in the northern region had a very advantageous family background, but Anshan was closed and backward. They had very traditional thinking. Generally speaking, they were probably a bit like In her previous life, she was a girl from an ordinary family in a small county town in the early 1980s, right?
Kan Santai of Songshan City was not affected when Songshan was massacred, and was appointed by Ma Quanyou as the president of the Songshan City Maintenance Committee, which is equivalent to the mayor of Songshan City, but has very little power and has to obey the orders of Ma Quanyou's garrison in Songshan City. .
"There is no need to say anything in this letter. Just tell me about your family ties and I will send it to him." Lu Ming thought about it and said.
Originally, the city where Daoyin in Anshan was located had telephone lines connected to the outside world. However, when Ma Quanyou caused the Songshan Massacre, external communications were interrupted and have not been restored until now. Even the telegraph office's operations were paralyzed.
The Kan sisters all nodded slightly: "Yes."
…
The negotiations between Gao Dagou, commander of the third company of the infantry battalion of the Tangyang Brigade, which was temporarily codenamed "Xiaotanghe Camp", and the other party quickly broke up. The other party's company commander, surnamed Ma, was very arrogant. Hearing Gao Dagou say Why did Montenegro not recognize that the Ma Quanyou Department had legal management rights over Songshan Road? They immediately cursed and the two sides almost came to blows.
In the afternoon, gunshots suddenly rang out in Lijiaying on the other side of the river, and soon thick black smoke came out.
Lu Ming heard the news and came to the river embankment. When he was looking at the situation on the other side of the river with a telescope, Peng Zhengwang, the old patriarch of Pengjiazhai, also came in a hurry.
At this time, a small boat floated across the river. There were one dead and one injured on the boat. The injured was quickly brought to the river embankment by the soldiers. He was a young man. The health worker helped him bandage his arm with a gunshot wound, but he was crying and fussing. When he saw Peng Zhengwang, he immediately rushed over, knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "Master Peng, Master Peng! Please save us, those beasts are killing people and setting fire!"
Peng Zhengwang coughed and looked away.
He and Li Jiaying were already mortal enemies, and I was afraid that I was somewhat gloating about the misfortune, not to mention that the people who killed people and set fires were foreign soldiers. In the past two days, I heard from people in Montenegro that Songshan Road was occupied by a group of extremely vicious bandit soldiers. If I offended such a person, Peng Didn't Jiazhai bring trouble to himself?
It's better now that the Montenegrin soldiers are here, but what if the Montenegrin soldiers are gone in the future?
What's more, there are not many Montenegrin soldiers, no more than 1,800. The main force of the bandit soldiers will gather together to fight, fearing that the Montenegrin soldiers will have no choice but to flee.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the senior officer of the Black Mountain Army over there, a very young man, suddenly made a gesture: "Let the war begin."
Peng Zheng stared blankly and saw several officers around the young official. They immediately gathered together, probably planning a battle very quickly. Most of their faces were full of excitement, and none of them showed any fear of facing a terrible enemy.
"We must wipe out all the enemy bandits! It's just one company." Lu Ming said to Chang Lei, the commander of the guard company, and Hong Ying, the leader of the Hong Ling team.
He waved to the young man again, "Tell me, what's going on? Oh, what's your name? Come and tell me slowly, don't rush, my people are ready. If you speak quickly or slowly, it won't affect their progress. It’s time to attack, so come on, talk to me, um, let’s bandage the wound first.”
The young man was stunned, angry and frightened, and hurt again. He didn't know how he got off the boat, and he didn't pay attention to the people here. He only saw a familiar face, Mr. Peng from Pengjiazhai. He immediately found a life-saving straw. After all, in the vicinity, the only people who could help the Li family camp were the militiamen of Pengjiazhai. Although they might have died, the young man's mind was so confused that he had lost his normal thinking. , then he rushed over to kowtow to Peng Zhengwang and ask for help.
Only now did I notice that there were many men and women in military uniforms.
In a daze, the health worker bandaged the gunshot wound on his arm. It was just a scratch, but there was no bullet inside.
He looked at Lu Ming and didn't know who the young man was, but one look at his demeanor told him that he was a big shot.
"I, my name is Li Moyu..." The young man suddenly became excited, "I, I want to go too, I want to kill those beasts!"
At this time, several officers-looking people were seen dispersed, followed by soldiers carrying strange boxes, who seemed to be holding black boxes and talking about something.
Lu Ming looked at him and waved his hand: "You don't need to go, why are the bandits on the opposite side killing people and setting fires? You Li Family Camp should be considered obeying them, right?"
The young man's eyes shone with anger, "They are not human beings, they are all a bunch of beasts. If they don't do what they want, they will shoot and kill people in the street, and then..."
Lu Ming waved his hand and understood that the conflict was caused by either teasing women or robbing things. How could Ma Quanyou have any scruples in the presence of bandit soldiers in this small village? They were afraid that they were preparing to massacre the village and kill everyone so that no one would know what they had done.
In fact, he did not want to fire the first shot at the armed forces in Northern Xinjiang. After all, there was still room for coordination with Northern Xinjiang to prevent the Haixi Army and the Japanese from using Northern Xinjiang to encroach on Anshan.
But in the current situation, with the tragedy happening right under his nose, he really couldn't turn a blind eye.
As for the floods in the future, I will take care of it myself.
