Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, after Shirakawa Yoshinori arrived in Almaty, the Japanese intervention army's expedition teams also hurried back from various places and gathered in the town of Dubiska, Anxi Province. Dubiska is a large town with just over 3,000 households, all of whom are Kazakhs and Russians, and only three or four Mongol households.

The current soldiers of the Japanese Intervention Army, all wearing leather coats and robes, with beards, half-length hair covered with dust, and a smell of mutton on their bodies, where do they still look like they are majestic and high-spirited when they go abroad. In the north for half a year, they first won a big victory, then were chased and killed like bereaved dogs, then trapped, and then escaped with the help of the squadron, but became the Chinese's servant army to help the Chinese crusade against the mountain rebels, I am afraid that the only thing that can prove that they are Japanese is the red sun cockade on their heads and Japanese. The Japanese army arrived in Russia in summer clothes, and did not prepare winter clothes at all, so on the way back they could only rob the herdsmen's clothes, and outsiders looked like a group of nomads and bandits.

Some Japanese soldiers wore two altars around their necks, which were the ashes of his comrades-in-arms, who had died in a foreign land, and their ashes were to be buried back to China. The wounded Japanese soldiers supported each other, looked to the East, the East, returned to their hometowns, returned to the East.

When Shirakawa Yoshinori saw his soldiers, he was so sad that he cried. These soldiers were sloppy in their clothes, their expressions were lost, and there was a desire to go home in their eyes, and when the soldiers saw the commander crying, they all began to cry, and the cry shook the sky for a while. Japanese reporters accompanying the army filmed this scene. Back in Japan, it was published in the newspapers, and many Japanese people had a new definition of war.

The war was not as easy as we imagined, nor was it the child's play we imagined, and nearly half of the Japanese soldiers were killed.

The establishment of the White Tiger Legion was very hasty, but the matter was helpless, Wang Maoru arranged the personnel and handed over all the qiē to Ren Yuanxing and Zhu Yongquan, and then sorted out the troops, the first division of the army, the sixth division of the army, the seventh division of the army, the eleventh division of the army, the fifteenth division of the army, the five divisions of the army 80,000 people and the Japanese intervention army 68,000 people (9,000 people died in the process of suppressing bandits), entered Xinjiang Yili Mansion.

Yang Zengxin, the overseer of Xinjiang, was so frightened that he mobilized all his soldiers to Dihua Province, the capital of Xinjiang. As long as he keeps Dihua, he Yang Zengxin will not lose his position as overseer.

Wang Maoru was silent after learning about it, and did not ask his troops to prepare to deal with Yang Zengxin, but asked He Rufei to send a message to write to Yang Zengxin's subordinates, "Those who oppose Yang will be promoted as the governor of Xinjiang in the future." is just a counter-strategy, which makes Yang Zengxin jealous of his subordinates day and night, suspicious of his subordinates, and makes him nervous all day long. He even brought the families of his four brigade commanders to Dihua Province. Actually surveillance, called protection. This move made all his subordinates dissatisfied, and at this time, the Xinjiang generals were out of harmony. Wang Maoru has not yet arrived in Dihua, which has already disturbed the people of Dihua.

Since the people who did not return to the east this time, the march speed was much faster, and the road after the army passed through Ili began to be better, and the servant army of the Chinese intervention army, the Japanese intervention army, actually became honest all the way into China, and there were few things that disturbed the people, as if they were all righteous people. Wang Maoru sneered in his heart that the Japanese are really dogs, you have to beat them to be honest. to know what can be done and what cannot be done.

On October 20, 1919, 130,000 combined troops arrived in Dihua Mansion, and received Yang Zengxin's envoy from a distance saying that they would welcome them. Meet Admiral Shang Wu. ”

Wang Maoru also immediately dismounted and walked forward quickly to hold Yang Zengxin's hand, and said with a warm smile: "The old general doesn't have to be so polite, they are all Chinese ** people, and they are all robes." Come. Let me introduce to you, this is the commander of the Japanese Intervention Army, General Yoshinori Shirakawa, this is the commander of the Fujii Xinmao Division, this is the commander of the Jiro Shirai Division, this is the commander of the Saito Kishiro Division, and this is the commander of the Kinoshita Uzaburo Division. This is the chief of staff of Yongxingbao, the commander of Li Pinxian, the commander of Fei Chaogui, the commander of Jiang Dengxuan, the commander of Zhang Baowu, and the third division commander of Du Bao. ”

Yang Zengxin smiled after meeting them one by one: "Everyone, welcome to Xinjiang. There was apprehension in his smile, whether it was Wang Maoru or the Japanese, he couldn't afford to provoke it, last time it was this Zhang Jianwu who almost swept through Xinjiang with a cavalry brigade, which is enough to see the barren army in Xinjiang. Throughout the history of the Republic of China, Xinjiang has always been an extremely insignificant place, and all the warlords in Xinjiang in history relied on Soviet Russia to survive, which led to the later period after Soviet Russia and China became hostile, and Soviet Russia clamed for local rebellion in Xinjiang. Despite what happened in the later period

Soviet Russia has no relationship, but there is no doubt that Soviet Russia set off the source of the Xinjiang rebellion, and Soviet Russia laid the root of the Xinjiang rebellion in the republic.

This time, Yang Zengxin prepared a sumptuous Xinjiang-style banquet for everyone, everyone sat cross-legged on the futon, put their hands on the table to grasp the mutton and drink Xinjiang special wine, this wine tasted a little light, but full of stamina. It was the first time for all the officers present to drink this kind of wine, and they were all drunk when they were not used to it.

The seating order of the banquet is very interesting, originally Yang Zengxin was the host and should sit at the top, but below was a Chinese generalissimo and a Japanese generalissimo. This Chinese generalissimo is really a real marshal, not a marshal who has many marshals of the Republic of China who have sealed himself like a dog. Wang Maoru's subordinates have a huge territory, more than 300,000 regular troops, and the army, navy and air force are complete. Although Yang Zengxin's qualifications and age are much older than Wang Maoru, he does not dare to sit on the top. However, another question arises, if the head sits on Wang Maoru, the Chinese generalissimo, what will the Japanese generalissimo Shirakawa Yoshinori do? The Japanese are also very important, and Japanese culture inherits the Chinese Sui and Tang cultures, and attaches more importance to etiquette. This banquet seating is also part of the ceremony, and if the banquet seating is not arranged, it will anger the Japanese.

In the end, Xiao Yaonan, Yang Zeng's new thinker, mentioned King Arthur's roundtable model to solve the seating problem, and everyone agreed. In this way, the officers sat on the ground in a circle, roasted whole sheep was placed in the middle, Chinese and Japanese generals sat separately, a group of Xinjiang Uyghur girls danced Xinjiang dances, and a group of musicians accompanied by cheerful accompaniment.

On the left is Yang Zengxin, the overseer of Xinjiang, and on the right is the general of the Japanese intervention army, Shirakawa Yoshinori, Wang Maoru raised his eyes and saw Xiao Yaonan sitting behind Yang Zengxin, and smiled.

Xiao Yaonan was a little puzzled, what was Xiushuai smiling at himself, did he want to replace Yang Zengxin by himself? If it's bad, then Inspector Yang won't be misunderstood? He was very nervous in his heart.

"Shirakawa-senpai, please." Wang Maoru said.

"Okay, you please." Shirakawa Yoshinori's Chinese is not good, but he lived in China for a period of time in his early years, and at that time, he Chinese was like a mustard in his eyes, but now he is very jealous of the squadron, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.

Along the way, Shirakawa Yoshinori chatted with the soldiers of the army to understand the thoughts of the soldiers, and through the conversation, he learned a very frustrating situation. This group of four divisions of the Japanese Army had a fear of the squadron from the heart, and it was only after they really fought with Soviet Russia that they realized that the Soviet Russian army was indeed a difficult bone to gnaw. The Chinese were able to get recognition from Tsarist Russia because of their strong fighting power.

The Chinese have constantly fought against the world powers, and Tongguò has constantly summed up their combat experience, and has grown to the point where they can wrestle with Western armies. In 1904, after two years of the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese Army had been in war for 16 years, and although the Japanese people had spiritually turned to white supremacy because of the victory in the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese economy was dragged down for ten years. During this decade, the Japanese Army never used force again, and it can be said that the Japanese Army was a well-equipped and well-trained fighter who dared to fight, but it was not an elite soldier in a hundred battles.

When the elite soldiers of the hundred refinements met the elite soldiers of the hundred battles, the Japanese army actually had fear in their hearts.

Shirakawa Yoshinori was so angry at the Japanese army's unprecedented fear of China that he wrote a 16-part assessment report on China's Northeast Army, and in his construction, he believed that the four divisions that participated in the Russian intervention this time would be transferred to other places, and if they fought with the squadron in the future, they must not be allowed to go to battle.

The most important thing in an army is the spirit and spirit, and these four divisions have lost the spirit of the Japanese Army.

After the singing and dancing that night, Yang Zengxin arranged for the girls to be enjoyed by these Japanese officers, and he also attached more importance to Wang Maoru's attitude. In the evening, he visited Wang Maoru again and directly expressed his surrender to Wang Maoru.

Unexpectedly, he knew the current affairs so well, Wang Maoru sneered in his heart, and then said: "Yang Inspector, you are the old Beiyang, you should know that the reason why our country is in turmoil is not because our country's comprehensive national strength is not strong enough, but because we Chinese are too fond of engaging in infighting, and we are all infighting, which makes the country suffer heavy losses." ”

Yang Zengxin repeatedly said that in the face of strong pressure, he, the Xinjiang overseer, must also walk on thin ice, and he said that it is enough to only seek his life, and only ask for one life.

Wang Maoru shook his head and said: "There is no need to be like this, in this way, since you voluntarily joined our army, don't use the term "overseer" symbolizing the warlord, Xinjiang will set up two Xinjiang armed police brigades to protect the safety of the people, and you are still the governor of Xinjiang, what do you think?" ”
