Rebirth of the National Marshal

"Captain, it's bad. Two squadrons of the Japanese invaders have entered the city." Young Master Mao was still asleep in the morning, thinking that he was talking in his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw a monkey in front of him.

"How could such a thing happen? Are these Japs crazy? Does the 29th Army not care anymore? Who allowed them to send in two squadrons of people?" Mao Yuanshan immediately lost all desire to sleep. Such a thing actually happened!

"Captain, I heard that the countries in the concessions are jointly putting pressure on the central government in order to protect the security of the concessions. It is impossible for the central government to fight against so many countries, so it had no choice but to agree." This was all the information Monkey could know. After all, his intelligence team was still very weak, and it was not easy for him to know the news in the first place.

"Have you found out when they will enter the city?" Mao Yuanshan said viciously. Originally, after killing that squadron of Japanese devils, he would become the largest armed force in the city, which would play a decisive role in future wars. He didn't expect that another bad apple would be let in. If the Japanese devils attacked from outside, these two squadrons would bring him a lot of trouble.

"It is said that their two squadrons today seem to be carrying heavy weapons, which are different from those last time. The last ones at most had a grenade launcher, but these two squadrons even have heavy machine guns." Monkey was also sweating profusely with anxiety. He had the same idea as Mao Yuanshan. If these Japanese devils were in the city, there would definitely be friction in the future.

The Japanese suffered a loss last time. They failed because they did not have heavy weapons to suppress the security group. This time, two squadrons with hundreds of people came in. How could they not carry heavy machine guns?

And the ones that came in last time must have been second-rate garrison troops. The two squadrons that were able to come in this time must have been allowed by the central government. Those who came in are definitely veterans and elite troops.

"Yes, Captain, there's a message coming from the Green Gang recently that one of their younger brothers works for the Specie Bank. He used to transport valuables back and forth between Beijing and Tianjin. But this time, the items being transported seem to be more valuable, so none of us Chinese are involved, only Japanese. After hearing the news, I asked my men to check the Japanese concessions, and it seems that the merchants in the Japanese concessions are moving their valuables." Another bombshell dropped.

"Monkey, the two things you mentioned are very important. Tell your brothers to follow them closely and not to miss any information. Report to me immediately if anything happens. Also, pay attention to whether the assets in the hands of pro-Japanese people like Director Ma have been transferred." Monkey agreed and went out.

There are about three to four thousand Japanese civilians in the city, among whom at least 1000 are young and strong people who can take up arms. According to the Japanese way of doing things, they will definitely set up an arsenal in the city and organize them when the time comes. Together with these two squadrons, there will be more than 1500 people. There are also some traitors in the city to help them. This force should not be underestimated.

Mao Yuanshan was also very depressed. If he had known earlier, he would not have been so anxious to take action. He originally thought that he was the only armed force left in the city, and it should be easy to control the city. Unexpectedly, the Japanese were not pushovers either. After you killed one squadron, two more squadrons would come.

Once China goes to war with Japan, the defense of the capital must be in their own hands. If a war really breaks out, the 29th Army will definitely be the main force of resistance. They are fighting the Japanese devils outside the city and need a stable rear. They cannot allocate troops to clean up the rear, so that task will fall on their heads. Thinking of the difficulties at that time, the fewer Japanese there are in the city, the better, and the less combat effectiveness they have, the better.

"Everyone, cheer up and assemble the team. Today I'm going to take you to do something big." I had just woken up in the morning and didn't know what was going on when I heard the team leader say loudly on the playground.

Big deal, what big deal could there be? What was the commander thinking? Would he take us to fight the Japanese again today? That's no problem. Our shooting skills are much more accurate than before, and our equipment is much better than it was then.

Last time, a group of new recruits who had only trained for half a month were able to beat the Japanese devils to death with those backward weapons. Now we have submachine guns and more various equipment. Most importantly, our skills have improved a lot. If we are still not as good as last time, we might as well stop training here and go home to take care of our children.

"Captain, what do you mean, are we going to rush into the Japanese Concession and kill all the Japs?" Chen Guangqiang, the company commander of the first company of the first battalion, said loudly. This guy was from the Northeast Army and later joined the 29th Army. Later, Mao Yuanshan recruited him into his team. This guy's entire family died at the hands of the Japs. During the Great Wall War of Resistance, this guy killed 11 Japs. When he first joined the security corps, he was not used to it because he was not a direct descendant of the Northwest Army, so he was used by the Northwest Army to exchange for arms. He was very dissatisfied with this, but after coming here for a month, he has fallen deeply in love with this place. He knows that with the weapons and ammunition here, he can definitely deal a heavy blow to the Japs, and perhaps make his dream come true. His dream is to take his team back to his hometown and kill all the Japanese on his land.

"You guys have nothing to do every day except killing Japanese devils. Now gather your team and add the second and third companies and follow me to the South City Gate. You will not kill any Japanese devils today, but I will take you to do something earth-shattering. The Japanese devils will not dare to underestimate us. Moreover, it is something that will make the Japanese devils embarrassed." Mao Yuanshan's words left everyone confused. What kind of thing could make the Japanese devils embarrassed?

The team gathered quickly, and they walked out of the security regiment's camp singing loud military songs. This was the first time in recent times that the security regiment walked out of the camp in an orderly line. Looking at the people on both sides of the road who were praising them, the soldiers of the security regiment raised their necks for the first time. In this way, they felt that the clothes on their bodies were very shiny. In the past, when they walked out on the street, others would curse them, and even curse them behind their backs, because they had done a lot of immoral things.

The situation is different now. We are an anti-Japanese team, and we fought the Japs with real guns and swords, injuring more than 100 of them. Although the last conflict had nothing to do with these recruits, they also thought in their hearts that it was our predecessors who did it, and we will follow the path of our predecessors and move forward to kill more Japs.

At the same time, 3k outside the south gate of Beijing, the three squadrons of the Japanese army had been reorganized. Originally, it was agreed that there would be only two squadrons, but the Japanese devils were also cunning and forcibly reorganized the three squadrons into two squadrons.

"Warriors of His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor needs you to go out and fight now. The place we are about to go to is the Japanese Concession in the capital of China. Not long ago, one of our squadrons there was attacked by the Chinese Security Team. They attacked our brothers with an army six times larger than ours. Without any preparation, Sato's squadron was wiped out. Our trip may be in great danger. Tell me, are you afraid?" These three squadrons are all very powerful squadrons. One of them is from the Kwantung Army in Manchuria, so the leader is a lieutenant colonel.

You should know that in the Japanese army system, the battalion is a very important component, usually a division, brigade, regiment, battalion, company, and squad. A battalion doctor basically has more than 1000 people. Although this battalion has only about 700 people, their soldiers are all veterans who have served in the army for more than three years, and their combat effectiveness is definitely greater than that of a fully-staffed Japanese battalion.

"Don't be afraid." These hundreds of people said loudly. Their morale was still very high, especially the Kwantung Army from Manchuria. In their eyes, all Chinese were cowardly and they dared not take any action against them. The people in Sato's squadron must have been killed by the Chinese accidentally. As long as they remained calm, these Chinese would never be their opponents.

"Okay, you are all warriors of His Majesty the Emperor. I am your captain Watanabe. From today on, the security of the Japanese Concession will be handed over to us. There are 4000 imperial residents there. We must be responsible for their safety. And that damn security team, we must never let them live so happily." The Japanese of this era were very short, but Captain Watanabe was an exception. He was meters tall, which was already outstanding among the Japanese.

After mobilizing all the troops, Captain Du Bian led his men and began to march towards the city gate. The civilians they met along the way were all afraid and avoided them. It was because the bayonets on the guns carried by these Japanese were too murderous. The Japanese were also the army that attached the most importance to hand-to-hand combat. Among the armies of various countries in the world, most armies did not carry bayonets on their rifles, and would not engage in hand-to-hand combat unless necessary. The Japanese regarded hand-to-hand combat as a very important way of fighting, and such fighting best reflected their Bushido spirit. However, in later generations, this spirit was shattered by American guns.

The Japanese army was able to enter the capital this time because of the pressure from the League of Nations on the central government. The leaders of this League of Nations were Britain and France. Although their relationship with the Japanese was not very good, there was absolutely no reason for them to offend a strong country like Japan because of a weak country like China. Moreover, the Japanese also raised a question, that is, if the Chinese security team can kill our Japanese guard team today, they can kill your British and French guard teams tomorrow. How can the security of the concession be guaranteed?

Although people from the central government's Ministry of Foreign Affairs repeatedly explained that there would be no interference in the concessions of other countries, the governments of various countries also took into account that their troops in the concessions were indeed very weak. Faced with the increasingly powerful Chinese army and the relatively tense bilateral relations, they still agreed to the Japanese army entering the concessions. In their view, the Japanese were colonizers like them, and the Chinese people should be bullied by them. After the Japanese army came in, they would definitely not bully Europeans and Americans. When the Japanese bullied the Chinese, they could also get a piece of the pie.

The people in the central government don't dare to break off relations with the League of Nations yet. After all, they still need their help in many areas. In fact, if there were no interference from the League of Nations, the Japanese might have gone even further. The people in the League of Nations made this decision because they saw that the people in the central government didn't dare to do anything to them. In their eyes, offending the Chinese central government is as easy as having a meal. It is something that doesn't need to be considered.

Mao Yuanshan just learned the news from the 29th Army. Although the 29th Army also opposed it, what could they do? Stop these people from entering the city? That would cause a bigger conflict. You know, the two Japanese divisions are already looking for excuses all over the world. They don't want the war to start now. The 29th Army just got a large number of weapons from Mao Yuanshan, and the people under them haven't started to get familiar with them yet. They can only clash with the Japanese when they are at their best. What they need now is time, and there are only two squadrons coming in, which should not have much impact on the entire capital.
