Chapter 120: The Battle of Jinan (5)

Just when Jiang Zhongzheng was angrily scolding Liu Zhi and them, Chen Cheng stumbled with a tattered military appearance accompanied by Yang Deliang, "Bang!"

"You shit!! Why didn't you find the enemy's artillery?! And you! Temporary! I asked you to be the commander of the artillery, and what did you give me as a result?! You just buried all of my only artillery unit!! Jiang Zhongzheng's face turned red, and he suddenly took out his spear and pointed at Chen Cheng tremblingly and roared: "Niang Xipi!" Lao Tzu shot you!! ”

Chen Cheng didn't dare to move on the ground, but fortunately, Liu Zhi in front of Jiang Zhongzheng quickly snatched the gun from Jiang Zhongzheng's hand and persuaded loudly: "Commander-in-chief!" You can't blame Commander Chen for this! It's really that the enemy is too cunning, even in the face of the siege of tens of thousands of our three armies, they didn't pull out their own artillery for fire support, and it is reasonable for Commander Chen to be misled and make a mistake! I also hope that the commander will open up the net of Commander Chen's past achievements! ”

Jiang Zhongzheng listened to Liu Zhi's words, and then slowly calmed down. At the thought that his artillery unit was all gone, he suddenly felt that his whole body had no strength, and he collapsed on the chair. Seeing this, the people present did not dare to say anything, so they could only wait quietly for his latest order.

It wasn't until half a sound later that Jiang Zhongzheng said to everyone in a hoarse voice: "Order all the troops to withdraw first and surround Zhonggong Town first." We'll talk about the offense later. Let's go back to the artillery camp and gather it to see how many guns are still usable and how many people are still alive...... Go for it......"

Chen Cheng stood up from the ground when he heard this, and exited the conference room as everyone gave Jiang Zhongzheng a military salute. The people of the Second and Third Legions, who were waiting outside the door, had already known what was going on through the quarrel inside, and when they saw that everyone came out and greeted each other with their eyes, they hurried back to gather their troops.

At this time, it was already six o'clock in the morning, and the sky in Jinan City was already bright. The shops in all four places have already started to open after the chaos of the previous period, and the hustle and bustle of the various places seems to have not been affected by the war. No one knows that there is already an undercurrent surging under this prosperity!

In the Jiaoji Railway Hotel, Hikosuke Fukuda solemnly looked at Sato Liu, Nishida Koichi and Sakai Takashi gathered in his office and said slowly: "Gentlemen! Are you ready?! ”

"Report to the general ()! We're ready! The Great Japanese Emperor ** team under his command is also ready! Saito Ryu straightened his body and solemnly said to Fukuda Hikosuke: "Just wait for the general's order, the emperor will add another pearl to the empire!" ”

Hikosuke Fukuda nodded when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Takashi Sakai. And Takashi Sakai looked at Fukuda Hikosuke solemnly and said slowly: "The brutal Chinese officers and soldiers tied up the unarmed Japanese civilians, cut them with axes and other sharp weapons, and dismembered the bodies on the spot. In addition, all the women were inserted into the sticks from the lower body, and the men's ** were all cut off, the small intestines and internal organs were exposed, and some were even skinned! According to the investigation after the fact, 280 Japanese were tortured and killed! Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the overseas Chinese, our emperor decided to unload all the weapons of the army in Jinan City and ordered the Guo Min government to hand over the murderer! ”

Hikosuke Fukuda nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, while Koichi Nishida asked cautiously, "What about the photos and corpses?!" How do I prepare?! After all, if we want to have the upper hand, we need concrete evidence to silence Britain and the United States. ”

Takashi Sakai smiled at the crowd, "Of course someone was killed, a total of thirteen. They are North Korean ronins who secretly sell opium, and they have offended local gangs before, but this time they are killed by taking advantage of the chaos. I have informed my friends at the Asahi Shimbun to report on it, and later there will be people from the military department who will cooperate with us in carrying out a 'violent punishment' campaign to support our operation. ”

Hearing Takashi Sakai's arrangement, everyone couldn't help but nodded, and Fukuda Hikosuke immediately said solemnly: "I order: all the emperor ** teams in Jinan will be dispatched immediately!" Encircle and suppress all Guo Min's revolutionary army in Jinan City! In case of resistance or threat, you may be able to kill directly! Take control of the enemy's Shandong Negotiation Office and the enemy's headquarters in Jinan City! This order: Commander of the 6th Division of the Imperial Japanese Guards Fukuda Hikosuke! ”

"Hey!!" At that moment, all the officers agreed with a bang! After that, they rushed out of the headquarters located in the Jiaoji Railway Hotel, and the Japanese troops that had already assembled outside the headquarters went directly to the pre-booked targets after the commanders came out! Behind them were a group of Chinese...... dressed in the uniforms of the Lu army

At nine o'clock, the soldiers of Guo Min's Revolutionary Army who were posting slogans in Weijiazhuang were suddenly shot! Several people were killed and wounded on the spot, and at the same time, the regimental headquarters of the 6th Division directly attacked the two battalions of the 7th Regiment of the 3rd Division of the 40th Army! At that time, the commander and battalion commander of the 7th Regiment were out for a meeting, and two battalions suffered heavy casualties, of which the second battalion was completely annihilated. At half past ten, the 40th Army found a large number of Japanese soldiers carrying firearms!
