After forming the team, Zheng Xiao asked Zhuge Yaomei and the others to change out of their military uniforms and put on ordinary people's clothes. They hid weapons and other things in some things and followed him down the mountain.
He wants to take these people to the ancient city of Liaoyang.
Liaoyang, known as Xiangping in ancient times, has a long history and splendid culture. There were a large number of outstanding figures from Liaoyang or outside Liaoyang who were active on the stage of Chinese history.
In 227 BC, Prince Dan of Yan sent Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin in an unsuccessful attempt. The following year, the Qin army captured Jidu (today's Beijing) of Yan State. King Xi and Prince Dan of Yan led their troops to retreat to Liaodong. Prince Dan "hid in Yanshui" (today's Beijing).
Taizi River, Liaoyang), the King of Yan was happy to listen to the plan of Wang Jia of the Zhao Kingdom, and killed Prince Dan and offered his head to the King of Qin.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo recommended Gongsun Du from Xiangping, who was appointed by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty as the prefect of Liaodong County, and dominated the north. His sons Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Gong, and their grandson Gongsun Yuan dealt with Wei and Wu for more than 50 years.
Until 238 AD, Emperor Wei sent Sima Yi to conquer Liaodong. Liaoyang City was besieged. Gongsun Yuan was beheaded on the west bank of the Taizi River in Liaoyang when he broke through.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo (later renamed Goguryeo) eastward, and his troops came to Liaoyang City three times without success. It was not until the 19th year of Zhenguan (645 AD) that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty personally led a large army to conquer Liaoyang City. After the victory, Li Shimin
A poem "Looking at the Moon in Liaocheng" was written at the top of the city to celebrate the victory.
In addition, Li Mi, one of the leaders of the Wagangzhai Uprising Army during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Li Mi, the Marquis of Ye in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, Wanyan Yong, Emperor Shizong of the Jin Dynasty, Wang Erlie, a famous scholar in the Qing Dynasty, and anti-Japanese heroes Li Zhaolin and Bai Yihua, etc. all came from Liaoyang.
Liaoyang has a long history and is the earliest city built in the Northeast. According to archaeological evidence, humans were active and developed in the Liaoyang area as far back as six or seven thousand years ago. At the end of the Warring States Period in the third century BC, the administrative structure of national administrative districts began to appear.
, and until the seventeenth century, it was always the political, economic, and cultural center, transportation hub, and military center of the Northeast region.
After the September 18th Incident in 1931, this thousand-year-old city fell under Japanese rule and began its days of humiliation.
Standing outside Liaoyang City, Zheng Xiao looked up and looked at the thousand-year-old city from a distance, feeling filled with emotion in his heart.
The ancient city of Liaoyang has a towering city wall. It is made of blue city bricks, made of glutinous rice mixed with soil, so it is very strong. And the city wall that is several feet high has a slope of almost 90 degrees, making it difficult for anyone who wants to climb up.
Everyone will have a big headache.
The moss-covered city wall is covered with mottled sword marks, indicating the long history of this ancient city and the important value of that military town.
On the top of the city, there are two-foot-high crenels with shooting holes for ancient archers to shoot. They were a great threat to the siege team back then, but with the rise of thermal weapons, traditional archers have been lost.
It is the position that determines the direction of the war, and the city wall is the same. It is so vulnerable to heavy artillery and aircraft.
Initially, after the September 18th Incident, a regiment of the Japanese Second Division went to Liaoyang and cooperated with a brigade of soldiers stationed here to launch a sudden attack. 500 soldiers from the Third Battalion of the 205th Regiment of the 9th Brigade of the Northeast Army were responsible for the defense of Liaoyang.
The officers and soldiers rose up to resist and fought bloody battles at the head of Liaoyang City for four days and nights. In the end, the battalion commander, deputy battalion commander, and several company commanders were all sacrificed. Most of the battalion died in the battle. Only a small number of soldiers broke out of the siege and entered the Guandong Mountains.
, began a hard battle with the Japanese army.
Nowadays, in the eastern part of the Guandong Mountains, when the Iron-Blooded Volunteer Army is mentioned, people with some conscience can't help but raise their thumbs and praise them as real men.
Today's Liaoyang has long fallen into the hands of the Japanese. They have stationed a mixed independent brigade here. In addition, they have gathered thousands of traitor troops, which is a relatively strong force.
The highest officer in charge of the Japanese army stationed in Liaoyang was Arata Oshima, the commander of the independent mixed brigade. He was also a famous general in the Kwantung Army. He participated in several attacks on the Northeast Army and wiped out more than a dozen anti-Japanese armed forces.
, hands stained with the blood of the Chinese people.
However, such an executioner who kills without batting an eye is actually a lover of ancient Chinese culture who has a profound knowledge of ancient Chinese culture. Even many Chinese scholars are not his opponents and have fallen into his hands in public.
Before Zheng Xiao entered Liaoyang City, he specifically studied this big island's new target, and found that this guy was very difficult to deal with, and he might become a powerful enemy of his in the future.
Given time, Zheng Xiao believed that it would not be a problem to deal with him, because the Longya Special Forces had huge development potential that other forces did not have, and with the strong support of the Yanhuang Army behind them, they would naturally develop very quickly.
But now, the Longya Special Forces Brigade is still very weak. Although he has hundreds of special forces members under his command, compared with the entire Kwantung Army that occupies the three eastern provinces, there is a huge gap in strength.
Once the Japanese army realizes that this is a huge threat, the Japanese army will definitely destroy them without reservation. Even if they have the secret valley as a backing and retreat, they will not be able to sustain it for long.
As for seeking support from other forces, I'm afraid it's not that easy, because once people know that Zheng Xiao has such advanced technology in his hands, I believe no force will be tempted. By then, Zheng Xiao and the things in his hands will become Tang Monk
Everyone wants to take a bite of meat, and that’s when big trouble comes.
Therefore, Zheng Xiao and the others must develop as low-key as possible. Only when their power increases to a certain level will they be able to protect themselves.
It is also for this reason that Yue Xiazi implemented the so-called "fishing in troubled waters" plan to expand his strength as a bandit, step by step wipe out all the bandit forces in Guandong Mountain, and build Guandong Mountain into a unified base.
The mountains of Guandong are rich in natural resources, including coal, iron, oil and other mineral deposits. Coupled with the complex terrain, high mountains and dense forests, it is a good place for development. Yue Xiazi and Zheng Xiao chose this place, which shows that they are very discerning.
However, they will encounter many difficulties in the process, which requires them to plan in advance and make as much preparation as possible.
From Aiya, Zheng Xiao learned a very important piece of information, that is, there was a secret warehouse of the Japanese army in Liaoyang that contained some things. Those things could play a very important role in Zheng Xiao's future development.
Zheng Xiao came to Liaoyang this time just to get those things.
Originally, he planned to bring some special forces members here for this matter, but since Zhuge Yaomei and the others actively requested a fight, he agreed to their request and let them experience the cruelty of battle.
