"My lord, Jinan is the most important town on the Beijing-Shanghai line. It goes straight to Qingdao in the east and Taihang in the west. If we go straight to Jinan and build an east-west defense line here, the long line of Japanese devils advancing southward will be over, right?
?”
Chen Baoxiang observed the map and found that the east-west route mentioned by Mu Changsha was exactly the same as the direction of the Qi Great Wall.
In the past, the Qi State built the Great Wall for defensive purposes. It spread from east to west across the land of Qi and Lu, crossing the north and south, and was full of momentum.
"According to your estimate, how many people can complete this task?"
"A hundred thousand troops are enough."
Lian Chengbi sneered and shook his head: "One hundred thousand? Do you think the current Chinese army has heavenly soldiers and generals? How many people are there in Chief Han? How many Chief Han are there in China? Where have their troops gone? If you listen to the radio carefully
, you should understand that the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Battle of Shanghai... a million troops could not stop the Japanese from going south. When setting up a defense line in Jinan, do you think that we are still the "Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period", more people win, one man can guard the barrier, and ten thousand men cannot open it.
Is it that era? Old Mu, please wake up! How powerful are the Japanese soldiers? You watch them train every day, don’t you know how powerful they are?"
Mu Changsha thought for a moment and squeezed the tea bowl in his hand. The heroic spirit in his eyes suddenly disappeared.
"One against ten, fighting with bayonets... marksmanship, marching speed, discipline... these little devils are really not just what they say. Alas, after so many years, Mr. Qi Jiguang has struggled to kill Japanese pirates, and the Beiyang Navy has also
Neither the Koreans nor the old and young marshals of the Northeast Army had fought against the Japanese Kwantung Army. The city of Nanjing was once the imperial capital of the south of the Yangtze River, and the Japanese had trampled it into disgrace..."
Chen Baoxiang had to agree with Mu Changsha's words. Only those who have actually killed Japanese soldiers know how difficult it is to "kill Japanese soldiers".
Anyone can brag and pretend to be a hero, but not everyone can handle bayonets with the Japanese.
In the first month of last year, Chen Baoxiang found an opportunity to assassinate two Japanese who broke into Miaojia Lane at the north end of Yanchasi Street.
First, he attacked from behind and cut the throat of the Japanese behind him.
The Japanese in front reacted quickly, turned around immediately, and fought head-on with Chen Baoxiang.
The barrel of the 38 rifle is equipped with a bayonet, and its total length exceeds five feet. It is equivalent to an eyebrow-length stick, but its weight and lethality are doubled.
The Japs' bayonet technique is simple and practical. There are only three types: flat stabbing, oblique stabbing, and upward stabbing. If you miss a stab, you should immediately withdraw your gun and retreat to prepare for the next assassination.
Chen Baoxiang only had a wrist-breaking knife in his hand at the time. The weapon was too light to block the spear.
The total length of Miaojia Lane is thirty steps, and its left and right width are eight feet. All the total routes are covered by the opponent's bayonets.
After three rounds, Chen Baoxiang had no chance to attack and was stabbed in the left arm instead.
He could only use a trick to pretend to escape, and when the enemy caught up with him, he threw out the knife with his backhand and hit the Japanese in the face.
After this battle, he no longer dared to underestimate the Japanese.
I can only look for opportunities to assassinate him from behind, and I will never fight head-on.
Mu Changsha said that the Japanese could fight ten against the Chinese soldiers with bayonets, which was a bit exaggerated. However, when fighting one against three, there would be no problem and they would not lose.
"That is indeed a bit troublesome. Zui Baxian... Feng Linhuoshan... I still hope that the Eighth Front Army will send another group of people in addition to the four killers. Jinan has been a strategic location since ancient times, and it is not so easy to win!"
Mu Changsha suddenly became excited: "They were all damned Han. They didn't fire a single shot and surrendered the city of Jinan to the Japanese. He had so many troops, the city wall in Jinan was so thick, and there was a moat outside...
I don’t believe it anymore. The Yellow River is the most powerful natural barrier in China. They blew up the railway bridge, demolished the pontoon bridge, and brought all the fishing boats to the south bank... Do the Japanese want to fly over the river?"
"Hehe, hehe..."
Lian Chengbi smiled bitterly and had no words to answer.
Chief Han surrendered the city of Jinan, which was the most shameful thing in the history of Jinan, equivalent to the shame of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty.
With these words of Mu Changsha, Chief Han should really be questioned face to face and asked to give an explanation to the people of Jinan.
During the period of peace, the common people paid taxes every day to support Chief Han's army, allowing them to eat well, show off their power, and enter and leave the city, and were welcomed by all the people.
Raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while.
When the Japanese invaders came, Chief Han abandoned the people and ran away. There was no dignity for any official.
When the Japanese entered the city, several scholars in the city pulled up a banner at Puli Gate, which read "In memory of Xuande's righteous deeds of loving the people as his own sons."
In the past, the emperor's uncle Liu Xuande fled. In order to avoid the intrusion of Cao Cao's army, the people voluntarily followed Liu Xuande to migrate, which became the most spectacular scene in history.
Only Liu Xuande is worthy of the words "love the people like a son".
When Chief Han escaped, he used cars, carriages, and war horses, but he didn't take any civilians with him.
At the critical moment, the people wanted to support Chief Han but could not find him.
"Hey, why are you saying this is useless? We should find a way to kill more Japanese and traitors!"
Mu Changsha scratched his head hard, but there was nothing he could do.
Chen Baoxiang said goodbye and returned to Rice Shop.
Next, Lian Chengbi will be responsible to the end and send Luo Hongying back to the Gunslingers Club.
When they got home, Liu Yue'e didn't sleep and waited for him to come to the door.
"The bosses, Chuanwen and Chuanwu, said that they will sleep on the cargo platform from tomorrow and not come back to eat. The Japanese unloaded the cargo in the middle of the night and asked the workers to work overtime. Their wages were doubled and they also took care of the food."
Chen Baoxiang shook his head: "Let's... just watch as we walk. Don't be in a hurry. If anything happens, I'll tell the children."
He hoped that Lian Chengbi and the others would not take action so quickly, and they would have to let the people of Jinan pass this year.
In the past three years, the people of Jinan have been very depressed. They must have a good year, wear new clothes, set off some firecrackers, and get rid of the evil spirits, right?
Liu Yue'e kept following Chen Baoxiang, rubbing her hands back and forth on her apron.
"What happened again?"
"It's said that the foreman of the goods platform saw that he was honest and wanted to promote him and let him be the second foreman to take charge of the twenty or so people under him. I think it is a good thing, what do you think?"
Chen Baoxiang didn't answer. He didn't want Chuanwen to work on the shelf for too long.
That is the territory of the Japanese. The deeper you sink, the greater your sin will be in the end.
"My children want to make more money to supplement the family income. It's not safe to run around outside in the chaos of war. What do you think?"
Chen Baoxiang knew that the Liancheng Bi bombing platform was a foregone conclusion, it was only a matter of time.
It would be dangerous if Chuanwen became the second foreman and was on the goods platform every day.
"Don't panic, I'll think about it before talking."
Chen Baoxiang lay down and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Liu Yue'e only knows how to make money for her children and has no clue about the outside situation.
Fish and dragons are mixed together, and Jinan is in chaos. Only by being wise and wise can we survive in the troubled times.
"We can't let Chuanwen be the second in command."
He had already made up his mind. This was a big deal and he couldn't afford to be careless.
"Head of the family, what's going on? The child is ambitious and wants to make progress, so why not help the Chen family shine? The head of the sales counter is willing to help, and I'm still trying to figure out how to give him some New Year gifts..."
Chen Baoxiang replied in a deep voice: "Don't worry about it. I have the final say on this matter. I told Chuanwen to work hard and keep an eye on me. If something happens, I'll run away..."
