Rebirth of the National Marshal

"What happened? Have you found out?" 003 played the role of forensic doctor again at this time.

"Captain, this is a bullet from a Type 003 rifle, and this knife wound is definitely caused by a Japanese sword." said.

"Damn it, I knew it was definitely the Japanese who did this. This place is so close to their infantry garrison battalion." Zhang Dashan's eyes were red.

"Go back and gather the troops for me, and surround the Japanese garrison battalion." Mao Yuanshan spoke these words one by one, with veins on his hands popping out. This was something only an animal could do.

I had been thinking that this section should maintain a balance, but I didn't expect you Japanese to commit crimes everywhere. If I hadn't encountered one, I would have blamed it on my bad luck. But now that I have encountered one today, I can't let this matter go.

Reporters soon learned the news here. When they sent everything here to newspapers, the entire Chinese people were furious. Everyone took to the streets to protest and demanded that the government severely punish the murderer.

The Chinese Central Government also lodged the strongest protest to the Japanese government, demanding that they hand over the murderer and requesting the League of Nations to administer justice.

The 29th Army announced that it had entered level one combat readiness.

The commander-in-chief of the Japanese Army in North China, Seiji Kazuki, announced that this incident had nothing to do with Japanese soldiers and hoped that the Chinese would not make unprovoked provocations, otherwise the consequences might lead to a war between the two countries.

Three hours after the incident broke out, 4000 troops from two battalions of the Security Corps assembled and arrived at the Japanese Army's Fourth Garrison Battalion.

The 1399th Garrison Battalion of the Japanese Army was responsible for defending the transportation line from the capital to the Northeast. It included four infantry squadrons, one mountain artillery squadron, and one cavalry squadron, totaling 2000 people. Recently, due to the tense situation in North China, four squadrons were transferred from the Kwantung Army for support. At this moment, the th Garrison Battalion had nearly troops.

"Brothers, why are you called here? I believe you all know that the 86 people have not been buried yet. It was me who did not allow you to bury them. We Chinese people believe in resting in peace. Since people are dead, they should be buried. But their blood feud has not been avenged yet. No one in the village is alive. How many people died with their eyes open? I don't care about the League of Nations and the central government. I just know that I cannot ignore this matter. Today it is these 86 people, and tomorrow it may be our parents, brothers and sisters. If we don't teach the Japanese a lesson, they will never know that there are still men in China. Those who are afraid of losing their heads should turn around and leave." Mao Yuanshan said to his brothers.

"Captain, our brothers have followed you for a long time. It's hurtful to say this. I, Zhang Dashan, have no other thoughts except killing the Japanese while I am alive. I couldn't kill so many Japanese before because the weapons in my hands didn't work well. Today you give me so many equipment. If I still can't kill the Japanese, it's my fault that I, Zhang Dashan, am incapable of avenging my fellow villagers. All the brothers in the security regiment are cowards." After Zhang Dashan finished speaking, the 4000 brothers of the security regiment behind him shouted in unison, "Kill, kill, kill."

The sound also alarmed the Japanese troops of the 4th Battalion, who immediately took up advantageous terrain and adopted a defensive posture.

"Brothers, do you see it? There are only 2000 Japs in front of us. They have no heavy firepower. Even if they have a field artillery squadron, they can only have five or six guns at most, and more than 100 shells. I have brought our artillery company, with 40 Type infantry guns, plus more than a hundred Type mortars. There are plenty of shells. Don't show any mercy later. Fire hard with light and heavy machine guns. Kill half of the Japs with firepower. Get ready for battle." The security regiment was really strong this time, and their equipment was top-notch even in Europe.

Mao Yuanshan gave the order, and the 4000 security soldiers behind him immediately infiltrated the surrounding areas in a well-trained manner.

This was the second time that the security team's soldiers participated in the battle. They were seen lying down. Although the action was not very standard, it was a great improvement over the last time.

The selection of several heavy machine guns was also relatively correct, and from their position they could indeed block the Japanese devils inside.

The troops that can support the 20th Garrison Battalion are the 29nd Garrison Battalion, which is k away from here. In order to prevent people from there from coming to support, the Chief of Staff and Xie Tianhua have already gone there with the independent battalion and another battalion. The various checkpoints controlled by the th Army have also strengthened their vigilance.

29th Army 38th Division Headquarters

"Division Commander, the security corps has surrounded the Fourth Garrison Battalion. They are carrying a large number of heavy weapons and are definitely going there to fight a decisive battle," said Yao Tianyuan, Chief of Staff of the 38th Division.

"Bring the map here. The lives of 86 people are not that simple. As soldiers of the Party and the country, we can't do this. The people in their security group did what we should do." General Zhang Zizhong was a famous anti-Japanese general in history and the only army commander who died in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

"From the map, the most likely unit to reinforce the Fourth Garrison Battalion is the Second Garrison Battalion. It is said that two battalions of the Security Regiment have already gone there to block the attack. Our Second and Third Regiments are on their way." Yao Tianyuan also came from the Northeast Army.

"Pass on my order. All regiments are on high alert. All personnel on leave must return immediately to plant mines on all roads. We cannot directly avenge our 86 fellow villagers, but not a single Japanese soldier will be allowed to pass through my defense zone." General Zhang Zizhong said in a decisive tone.

"Reporting to the division commander and chief of staff, the brothers in the security regiment at the door have brought over five Maxim heavy machine guns, ten Czech light machine guns, three Type 10 mortars, as well as 300 rounds of bullets and artillery shells. Their people didn't say anything, saying that it was their regiment commander who said so. The division commander will understand when he sees these things." The battalion commander of the guard battalion pointed to a pile of things at the door and said that these weapons were not a small number.

"Haha, this kid is really to my taste, Zhang. Okay, collect all the things and distribute them. I'll block them for him. It's only right that Mao Yuanshan pays for the travel expenses." Although General Zhang Zizhong and Mao Yuanshan had never met each other, Mao Yuanshan believed in General Zhang from the bottom of his heart, because this general was absolutely anti-Japanese. Even if he didn't have his own batch of weapons, he would not let the Japanese devils pass through his defense zone.

29th Army Headquarters

"What on earth is Mao Yuanshan trying to do? The special envoy of the central government will be here soon. He is going to make a big deal out of this and make the situation in North China tense." Commander Song was so angry that he smashed two cups.

"Commander, the North China Expeditionary Force has sent a liaison officer to inquire why we have strengthened the security of various checkpoints." Chief of Staff Yang Lin said.

"Fuck these Japs! They killed 86 of our people and now they're asking me why I'm on high alert. Tell them they have to give us an explanation for this." Commander Song was very angry about what the Japanese had done this time, but because he had to consider the overall situation, he couldn't act like Mao Yuanshan.

"If Director Mao really wants to attack the 4th Garrison Battalion, perhaps all the Japanese in the Peiping-Tianjin area will have to be mobilized. Should we let them pass?" said the deputy army commander.

"Bullshit, if that happens, my ancestral graves will be dug up. No matter how much trouble Mao Yuanshan, that bastard, causes, I have to take the blame now. Pass down the order, everyone must strictly guard their posts, no one can take a step back. If the Japs stand still, we will not shoot. If they dare to take a step forward, we will fight them." Commander Song spit on the deputy commander's face, and the people below immediately went to convey the order. The 29th Army was not easy to bully. Although they were suppressed by the Japanese due to financial difficulties in recent years, they could also be tough now with Mao Yuanshan's large number of weapons and ammunition.

"How can this be allowed? It would be bad if this causes a backlash from the Japanese. We have just had a few days of peace. What on earth does this Mao Yuanshan want to do? After all, he is a central government official and he is not on the same page with us." Mayor Qi Fangchang said depressedly.

Now the people in the Beijing municipal government are basically in cahoots with the Japanese. Just look at the people here and you will know. However, the municipal government does not have much power. The entire Pingjin area is basically controlled by the 29th Army, so the people here can only sigh.

"This is too much. We have fought so hard to get our current situation. The people from the League of Nations have also agreed to help us fight the Japanese. This Mao Yuanshan is simply lawless. He will mess up the whole of North China." Vice Chairman Wang has never shut up since she came in. In her opinion, it would be like the sky falling if they went against the Japanese.

"Well, he is also a man of blood. 86 people is not a small number after all." Commander Feng, the former leader of the Northwest Army and now the deputy chairman of the Military Commission, said that if he still had soldiers under his command, he might have fought against the Japanese at this time. Unfortunately, he is now a commander without troops. It was his fault for failing in the war between warlords.

"I think we should teach these Japanese a lesson. They have been very aggressive recently and really treat us like dirt," said Bai Jiansheng, deputy chief of the general staff.

"Everyone, to be honest, I am also upset, but our finances are already in a very difficult situation. If we really have a conflict with the Japanese, our entire economic system may collapse," said Finance Minister Song Wen.

"The current situation is that it is not right to fight, and it is not right not to fight. If we don't fight, we will have no way to explain to the people of the whole country. If we fight, we really don't have the strength right now." The party-state elder said the words of a bodhisattva, but this sentence is also the helplessness of the party-state now.

Principal Jiang, who was sitting in the central government, did not say a word. Mao Yuanshan was too close to him, and it was not appropriate for him to express his opinion now. Whether they won or lost this battle, it would drag the party and the country into an unfavorable situation.

"Let the nation's armies prepare for battle." When the meeting ended, no conclusion was reached. The principal left this sentence before he left. He had already seen clearly that the war between China and Japan was inevitable. Instead of relying on luck, it would be better to start preparing now.

on site

The Fourth Garrison Battalion had already completed its deployment around the military camp. At first they were thinking about rushing out, but when they saw the weapons and equipment of the security regiment, they immediately gave up the idea of ​​rushing out.

There was no shortage of light and heavy machine guns and mortars, and the combination of light and heavy firepower was also perfect. They trembled at the sight of the boxes of grenades in the distance.

The Japanese had long known about the ferocious firepower of the Security Corps. Although the authorities had tried every means to block the news and prevent them from knowing how the people in the two squadrons in the city died, some things could not be hidden and some news would eventually come out. Their Fourth Garrison Battalion was so close to the city, so it was normal for them to know the news.
