Four Hotchkiss machine guns were placed on the position, with the muzzles pointing directly at the Japanese army. The Japanese army had been equipped with such machine guns for a long time, so they knew the horror of heavy machine guns, but these Japanese soldiers left in a hurry
, it does not carry heavy firepower at all.
Although Nishimura was extremely angry, he also knew that if there were no weapons to suppress the heavy machine guns, they would be wiped out very quickly. Even though the Japanese army was well-trained and tenacious in combat, they could perform well on such a bare road.
There isn't much room for it.
The key to victory is to see who can output more firepower in a short period of time. At this point, the Japanese who do not have heavy firepower will definitely suffer. Nishimura also participated in the Russo-Japanese War, and he has seen countless Japanese with his own eyes.
The afterimage of soldiers being mopped down like wheat by the Russians. Despite what the Japanese say, the Russo-Japanese War was actually a nightmare for the Japanese army.
When heavy machine guns appeared on the Fengjun position, Nishimura had a million unwillingnesses in his heart, but he had to temporarily give up his plan to attack by force, and hurriedly ordered his men to carry the machine guns.
As soon as Zhang Tinglan saw the machine gun placed on the position, the eager Japanese soldiers on the opposite side calmed down. He was not idle either. Instead, he found a few soldiers from the army who were familiar with artillery. They all started working together and fired the machine gun as quickly as possible.
The two Krupp mountain cannons were assembled.
Zhang Zuoxiang also knew that he must show courage at critical moments, so he also supported the use of cannons as a deterrent. Under the busy work of everyone, the two cannons were assembled. They then found eight more army horses and dragged them
The artillery moved into prepared positions.
After the cannons were set up, it happened that the Japanese soldiers brought the heavy machine guns. Nishimura was directing his men to set up the machine guns. He had strong confidence in the Japanese soldiers. As long as the equipment of both sides was similar, the Japanese would not be afraid of the Chinese army at all. Now
The time had exceeded the time limit specified in his ultimatum, and if the Chinese did not surrender obediently, he would have no choice but to be rude.
When Nishimura was eager to take the plunge, he suddenly saw two black gun muzzles not far away pointing at the Japanese army's position. Nishimura hurriedly observed with a telescope. He not only saw two genuine cannons, but also the Fengjun artillery.
They were carrying artillery shells, and there were six or seven ammunition boxes on the ground. The soldiers on the opposite side seemed to feel that Nishimura was spying on them, and deliberately showed a big smile and extended his middle finger. Although Nishimura did not understand the other party's gestures, he was also very surprised.
Clearly, this is provoking yourself.
Seeing this scene, Nishimura was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. Being able to become the commander of one side, Nishimura was not a fool. The other side's army showed unprecedented toughness. Should he change his strategy?
The nature of the Japanese is such that the more you beg them, the more aggressive they will be. As long as you are easy to bully, they will bully you to death. If you get tough here, they will immediately consider whether it is cost-effective. Therefore, if you want to make the Japanese honest, the best way is to make them honest.
The best way is to show a tougher stance than them.
China and Japan faced off in Fengtian. Zhang Zuolin knew that Zhang Zuolin had to come forward for such a big thing, so he sent someone to notify Zhang Zuolin early. In fact, Zhang Zuolin also sent a large number of people along the way. He also knew the importance of Shengyun Villa.
, so you must not relax.
When he heard that the Japanese had taken action, Lao Zhang immediately summoned all his close subordinates. Sun Liechen, Zhang Jinghui, Tang Yulin, Yuan Jinkai and others lined up on both sides.
Lao Zhang was also wearing a military uniform and was very formal: "Brothers, the Japanese garrison went outside the Manchurian Railway Annex and interfered with our actions. This is riding on their necks. The Chinese territory does not allow them to run wild. Other
I don’t care about the place, but it can’t be done under the nose of Lao Zhang. Sixth brother, you should take the soldiers of the 54th Brigade to assist Fuchen now. You can’t let them suffer, and you must ensure the safety of the materials they escort. If they are lost,
I am engaged in military law."
Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang had always had a good relationship. After receiving Zhang Zuolin's order, Sun Liechen immediately went down to make arrangements. He took out all the machine guns and artillery that his men had and quickly headed to the confrontation site.
Lao Zhang said to Yuan Jinkai again: "Mr. Yuan, you will go to the Japanese Consulate General on my behalf now to question Yata why the Japanese interfered with our legitimate actions." As he said this, Lao Zhang handed over another document.
Yuan Jinkai.
"Mr. Yuan, the matter is urgent. Take a closer look on the road and try to take the initiative when negotiating with the Japanese."
Yuan Jinkai also nodded and went to take care of things. Zhang Zuolin said to Tang Yulin and Zhang Jinghui: "Fourth brother, fifth brother, don't be idle. Mobilize all the other troops, the cavalry and artillery, and come to Manchuria for me."
Attachment to create pressure. If the Japanese really dare to attack Fu Chen and the others, we will rush into the Manchuria attachment and kill them all, leaving no chicken or dog behind."
Zhang Jinghui was about to go to prepare, when Tang Yulin on the side looked gloomy and suddenly said: "Master Qi, am I, Tang Yulin, still the deputy commander of the 27th Division? You don't even bother to tell me anything you do now. You just talked to Japan in the first two days."
There was a conflict between people, and this time they mobilized troops and made such a big fuss. There is a saying called playing with fire** Do you know, if you continue in this way, sooner or later the fortune of the 27th Division will be wiped out by you."
Tang Yulin has felt a complete sense of frustration recently. He is the second-in-command of the 27th Division. In the past, he had to discuss all major and minor matters with him. However, Zhang Zuoxiang's status has risen rapidly in recent times, and even his son has
Tian followed Zhang Zuolin around, and if anything came up, they would discuss it and deal with it. At most, they would add one Sun Liechen, leaving his dignified deputy division commander without a chance to use his skills. Lao Tang's resentment was so great that it was simply beyond imagination.
When Zhang Zuolin heard Tang Yulin's complaints, he felt even more dissatisfied. The reason why he ignored Tang Yulin was that this guy was holding back everything, and nothing could be done without him.
Lao Zhang said patiently: "It was my negligence that Fourth Brother did not inform you. I will apologize to you in the future. However, the situation is urgent now. Fuchen and the others are still in danger. We must take action."
"Master Qi, do you only have Zhang Zuoxiang in your eyes? Everything will revolve around him and his precious son." Tang Yulin suddenly said loudly: "I think you are confused. If you let them continue to make trouble like this, twenty
The Seventh Division will be destroyed sooner or later. I don’t agree to rescue them. It’s best to let the Japanese kill them.”
The more Tang Yulin talked, the more he went too far. Zhang Jinghui had already seen that Zhang Zuolin's face had darkened. He pulled Tang Yulin's clothes hard: "Fourth brother, we are all brothers, stop talking nonsense."
"What kind of brother? People don't see me as Tang, and I am not a lowly guy. I have to be a hot-headed shaver." After Tang Yulin finished speaking, regardless of Zhang Zuolin's reaction, he turned around and left the Tiger Hall with a stride.
.
Looking at Tang Yulin's retreating figure, Zhang Zuolin was so angry that his lips trembled. He grabbed the tea cup and threw it to the ground. After venting his emotions, Lao Zhang calmed down and pulled Zhang Jinghui to take action immediately.
Ignore Tang Yulin.
The 27th Division is the largest armed force in Fengtian. After it was mobilized, it naturally alarmed all parties. Everyone was guessing what Zhang Zuolin, the bandit leader, wanted to do.
At this time, Japanese Consul General Yata was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, restless. Nishimura dispatched troops to intercept Feng Jun, and a military confrontation occurred. These things were Nishimura's own initiative and did not notify Yata at all. Wait until Yata knew
After that, both sides had already opened up their posture.
Yata was extremely angry, because Tokyo was already dissatisfied with him about the last parade, and sent several telegrams to Yata, asking him to work hard to ensure the stability of Fengtian and avoid further conflicts. Yata also frequently expressed his determination, saying that he must
It can be solved, but as soon as I finished speaking, the incident in front of me happened, which was more serious than last time. The military directly confronted each other, and a conflict would occur if I was not careful.
Yata was on pins and needles. He hurriedly contacted Nishimura and told him to exercise restraint and never have an armed conflict. In addition, Yata called the Fengtian Governor's Mansion and contacted the old bad guy Zhang Xiluan, asking him to immediately issue an order to the 27th Division.
Confrontation with the Japanese garrison.
When faced with Yata's questioning, Zhang Xiluan just pretended to be crazy and didn't know anything about it. The old man said in his heart that neither the Japanese nor Zhang Zuolin could be offended by him. Both sides were threats to Zhang Xiluan's power. He simply let them dog eat dog. The old man even hoped that
Only by making both parties die together can his heart be fulfilled.
Faced with Zhang Xiluan, who relied on his old man and betrayed him, Yata had no choice. He knew that in order to solve the problem at hand, he had to communicate directly with Zhang Zuolin. Just when Yata was thinking about how to deal with Zhang Zuolin, suddenly news came from his subordinates, and the 27th Division was mobilized
Among them, thousands of elite soldiers were moving towards the Manchurian Railway attachment area.
Yata was immediately horrified. There were not many Japanese troops stationed in Fengtian. If Zhang Zuolin really came to destroy the boat, he really didn't know how to deal with it. At this moment, Yuan Jinkai came to the Consulate General.
When Yata saw Yuan Jinkai coming, he finally made a breakthrough in communicating with Zhang Zuolin. Yata's heart was relatively calm: "Yuan Sang, what on earth are you, Mr. Zhang, doing? Do you want to start a war with the Japanese Empire? You are so wanton.
He mobilized troops without notifying us in Japan, which could easily lead to misunderstanding."
Yuan Jinkai had already read the document Lao Zhang gave him on the way, and he couldn't help but applaud the content. Now facing Yata, Yuan Jinkai had confidence in his heart and was not afraid of the other party's questioning at all.
"Mr. Yata, the Chinese ** team is carrying out a bandit suppression mission on Chinese territory. There is no need to inform you Japan. Instead, you sent troops to intercept our victorious soldiers without any hesitation. This caused this crisis.
, Frankly speaking, it is you who should reflect on this.”
When Yata heard this, his face turned green. The Japanese were unreasonable, and these bearded men were even more unreasonable. All the men and horses of a division pointed their guns at them, and it became their fault.
"We still need to investigate whether Yuan Sang is right or wrong, but now I ask your troops to return to their base immediately."
"Don't rush to investigate the issue of right and wrong. Take a look at this thing. We only mobilized the troops after collecting this information. We are here to solve the trouble for you Japanese people. It's okay if you don't appreciate it. Why are you trying to beat us up?"
Yata blankly took the document handed over by Yuan Jinkai, and after just one glance, he was so depressed that he wanted to bleed.
