Respectfully

Dalian, Lushun

A few young students in black school uniforms hurriedly walked on the street. They didn't even care about the pedestrians they bumped into, and their pace became faster and faster.The man who was hit was about to stop them and asked why he didn't look at the road when he was walking, but his eyes widened the next moment.

A group of Japanese gendarmes with live ammunition were running over. Seeing some students, one of the gendarmes, who looked like an officer, immediately said something loudly. The expressions of the students changed and they ran quickly.

The student who was grabbed by the sleeve of the man hurriedly said: "Uncle, let me go! If they see you, you will be implicated too."

Before the man could react, several Japanese gendarmes ran over, and one of them raised the butt of his gun and threw it on the student's head.But the man suddenly used his arm to hold the gun butt that fell down, ignored the Japanese scolding, and pushed the student forward: "Hurry up!"

Since Dalian was occupied by Japan, things like this have happened too many times.The man was an honest small businessman. He always took a detour when he saw the Japanese in military uniforms. When encountering similar things, he turned his back and pretended not to see them. Today, he tried to protect the child in a strange way.

Yeah, still a kid!

These Japanese are not humans, but animals!

"Uncle!"

The student yelled, but the man didn't care about anything else, he still yelled loudly: "Hurry up!"

But he could stop one, but he couldn't stop two, three, more and more Japanese gendarmes rushed up, and the student couldn't escape in the end, and several of his classmates were all held by the Japanese gendarmes with guns He fell to the ground, with blood running down his forehead, but he stubbornly looked at the man who had just helped him block the military police: "Uncle, thank you...I'm sorry..."

The next moment, the gun butt hit his head heavily, and he fell to the ground, lifeless.

The man was constantly touching the gun butt, but he didn't seem to feel any pain. Seeing the child lying on the ground was still being trampled by the Japanese leather shoes, he uttered a cry like a beast: "I Fight with you! Beast!"

Two bayonets plunged into the man's body at the same time, and blood gushed out of his mouth. Before he died, he didn't feel any regret at all.

After today, let's see who else will say that he is a coward!He, Zhao Laosan, died like a man!

The Japanese military police finally stopped beating people. They began to check whether there were any students alive, and found a lot of anti-Japanese leaflets from them, as well as the news that the troops from the six northern provinces bombarded Wafangdian. You can’t see it in Lushun’s newspapers, especially recently Lushun has implemented martial law, and strict inspections are required when entering and exiting. It is even more difficult for outside news to come in. The warriors in the six northern provinces dare not set foot in Wafangdian!"

The captain of the gendarmerie knew Chinese, and after reading the contents of the leaflet, he kicked the student who fell on the ground fiercely, cursing, "A bunch of Chinese pigs!"

They dragged the two students who were still alive and turned around to leave. The remaining corpses were thrown there just like that.

When they turned around to leave, a few men with wooden sticks suddenly rushed out from the corner of the street. They are the "bastards" in the population of Lushun. When it comes to the Japanese, the Japanese military police don’t take them seriously at all, but the situation is gradually getting worse. More and more Chinese people come out from the streets and alleys, and the houses on both sides of the street. They don’t have weapons in their hands, but The hearts of these Japanese military police began to panic.

How could the Chinese people who used to be as docile as rabbits suddenly...

A young student dragged by the Japanese military police suddenly laughed, opened his eyes blurred with blood, and said in Japanese: "You invaders will definitely be kicked out of China!"

"Shut up!" The captain of the gendarmerie cursed viciously, "If you want to die, shut up!"

"No!" Every time the student said a word, a stream of blood spewed from his mouth, "Life is important, but there are things more important than life!"

As he said that, he suddenly had a burst of strength, knocked away the Japanese military police who were holding him, and shouted loudly in Chinese: "Freedom! Dignity! Don't be slaves to the invaders! We are Chinese people, and under our feet are In the land of China, our army is not far away, defeat the invaders, long live China!"

"Bastard! Shut up!"

Before the captain of the gendarmerie could stop him, a Japanese gendarmerie had already hit the student on the back with the butt of his gun. When he fell down, all the Chinese people's expressions changed.

They were also insensitive, and they also thought that they would have to endure it in order to survive, but now, they are as angry as the man who stood up to protect the students before!

The massacre 20 years ago is an indelible pain in the hearts of Lushun people.

Today, the Japanese atrocities are getting worse!

Are they going to endure it?

Bear with it, and be a slave to these invaders?

People on the street began to walk towards the Japanese gendarmes surrounded by them step by step. The men who had been knocked down before also stood up, spat out a few broken teeth in their mouths, and their expressions became more and more fierce.

The Japanese gendarmerie stood back to back, and the captain of the gendarmerie began to sweat coldly on his forehead...

The Kanto Governor's Mansion received a report that nine Japanese gendarmes were besieged by the Chinese in Naval Camp Street, and immediately dispatched two Japanese squads.

The commander of the Fifth Division, Otani, ordered that the gendarmes must be "received" safely. As for the Chinese who surrounded the gendarmes, if they did not take too drastic action, they would be temporarily let go.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, these Chinese people must be taught a lesson!"

"No, Doi, we can't touch these Chinese people, at least not now."

"Why? Your Excellency, division chief, the imperial soldiers shouldn't be so cowardly when dealing with the Chinese!"

"Bastard! Can't you see the current situation clearly?! Don't you know that the troops from the six northern provinces have not attacked Dalian for a long time, and are just waiting for an excuse?!"

"Your Excellency, the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire have never been afraid of any enemy, let alone a group of stupid Chinese!"

The Japanese Army has always adhered to the tradition of lowering the upper limit, and Doi, as the division staff, has always been valued by the head of the Otani Division, but this time, he completely annoyed Otani Kikuzo.

"Since Mr. Doi is so confident, you should take a small team of soldiers to garrison Wafangdian."

Wafangdian has become a forbidden place for officers and soldiers of the Fifth Division. Since the troops from the six northern provinces bombarded Wafangdian, none of the soldiers who went there survived.

Doi is brave but not a fool.The order of the head of the Otani division was clearly for him to die.

Otani Xi Jiuzang snorted coldly, since he wants to die, then go die!

When the soldiers from the two teams of the Fifth Division arrived at Saishiying Street, the nine Japanese gendarmes were no longer in shape. These Japanese soldiers immediately raised their guns to the sky to warn them, and used bullets and bayonets to disperse the crowd, and only then did they rescue the nine gendarmes. come out.After sending them to the hospital, there were still three people who went to see their Amaterasu that night because of internal damage.

The Kanto Governor's Mansion immediately posted a notice offering a reward for the main murderer who beat up the Japanese military police that day.

The area around the Naval Camp Street was even questioned door-to-door by the Japanese military police. The Japanese and Korean nationals in Lushun also took the opportunity to make trouble. The approach of the troops from the six northern provinces and the shelling over the past few days made their nerves extremely tense. Have to do something to relax yourself, like robbing.

Finally, the Lushun people were completely angered.

First, the students went on strike. In Lushun schools, especially those run by the Japanese, there was no trace of a student. Then the workers went on strike, and then the merchants went on strike.

This wave of student strikes, workers strikes, business strikes, and market strikes swept across Dalian from Lushun. All schools were closed, most factories were closed, and businessmen put up closure signs in front of their stores.

Dalian has become a lifeless city.

The Japanese have nothing to do about it, marches can be dispersed, and demonstrations can be arrested, but such silent protests make them helpless.They tried to force workers to return to work, and even executed a few leading workers to deter others, but it only made the Chinese people's reaction more intense, and several spinning mills that were barely operating were completely shut down.

After what happened in Dalian was published in the newspaper, a telegram sent chills down the back of the Japanese.

"The murderer must pay with his life!"

Lou Xiao!

This name has now become a nightmare for Japanese in China.

The electrification of Lou Xiao inspired the people of Dalian, and also set off a wave of solidarity with Dalian across the country. It became a parade, and the crowd shouted: "The Japanese get out of China! Give me back Dalian!" Many policemen on the street also joined the parade. Especially the British Concession and the Russian Concession where Japanese expatriates were accommodated.

However, the parade crowd did not step into the concession, they just shouted slogans in front of the concession, and the soldiers in the concession were only on guard and did not act aggressively.This disappointed the Japanese. It would be great if the Chinese could clash with the British.

On June [-], Marshal Lou finally issued the order to recover Dalian!

Zhao Yue, the commander of the third division, is in Fengcheng, and the guns are pointing directly at Sinuiju!

Three wooden biplanes appeared in the sky over Dalian, and a large number of leaflets were dropped from the plane. The leaflets stated that from now on, the Japanese army must withdraw from Dalian unconditionally within three days, otherwise the Chinese army will have to expel them by force.

"Three days." Marshal Lou stood in front of the conference table with his hands behind his back, looking coldly at the map hanging on the wall with eagle-like eyes. There were two particularly eye-catching marching routes drawn on it. Lushun, the other one, leads from Fengcheng to Sinuiju, and even the whole of North Korea!

"Dalian or North Korea?"

All the officers sitting in the temporary conference room clenched their fists, their eyes flickered. Zhao Guangyou, the head of the No. 20 Eighth Regiment of the Independent Brigade, who was more impatient, blushed with excitement.

North Korea!

What Lou Xiao wants is to take back Dalian. If the Japanese don't withdraw their troops, he will attack North Korea!A division stationed in North Korea is indeed a strong bone, but not all North Korea is full of traitors.

If you make good use of it, it will be enough for the Japanese to have a headache for a long time.Without the resources of the six northern provinces, they must keep North Korea. Otherwise, even if Japan continues to borrow heavily, the domestic economy will surely collapse.

At this moment, Lou Xiao finally showed his sword!

Qingdao, Shandong

Sitting in the living room of Qingdao Governor Waldeck, Ren Wuchu still couldn't understand how he, who was in charge of finance, would take over the matter of negotiating with the Germans?But now that he has taken over, with Ren Wuchu's character, he must do his best.

"Mr. Ren, if I heard correctly, you want to buy a torpedo boat in the Far East Fleet and all the officers and men on it?"

"No, it's not buying." Ren Wuchu shook his head, "It's hiring."

"Hire?"

"Yes, it's just employment, and the employment period is half a month."

"For the Japanese in Dalian?"

Waldeck, a former naval captain, had a keen sense of military affairs.

Ren Wuchu shrugged his shoulders, "It's good for everyone to understand some things. If Your Excellency the Governor is willing to do this deal, the employment fee will be twice the value of the torpedo boat itself. If the torpedo boat is damaged or casualties, we will Make corresponding compensation."

"but……"

"Your Excellency, I only have two days." Ren Wuchu interrupted Waldeck's unspoken concerns, "Japan is an ally of the United Kingdom, and Japan only has two old warships docked in Dalian, and two to three torpedoes, and it will be over. Fighting."

"I need to think about it."

"Okay, but I hope to have your answer before sunset the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, Mr. Ren."

On June [-], two engineering companies from the Independent Brigade of the Six Northern Provinces entered Wafangdian. The engineers waved their engineering shovels and began to dig and build fortifications using the bomb craters that had been blasted before.

On June 120th, four [-]mm heavy guns from the Independent Brigade Artillery Regiment arrived at Wafangdian. These were heavy guns produced by the arsenal in the six northern provinces. On the day the test was successful, in the arsenal, from Du Weiyan to participating in the manufacturing process Everyone gritted their teeth with excitement, and many of them burst into tears.

From the steel used for the gun body to the grinding technology of each part, all come from China!

This is a heavy artillery that belongs to the Huaxia people themselves!

The three planes taxied on the temporary runway built by the engineers, took off, circled for a circle, and signaled to the tense ground crew that everything was normal.

Their main task was to confirm the locations of the Japanese barracks and ammunition depots mentioned in the intelligence, and the intelligence personnel lurking in Dalian would give them the correct guidance on the ground.

Seeing the reappearance of the three planes that distributed the leaflets before, the whole Dalian was boiling.

It's China's army, our own army is finally coming!

The Kanto Governor's Mansion has been sending telegrams to the base camp for days. Due to the deaths of intelligence personnel such as Kashita and Doihara, the Japanese intelligence agencies in Dalian are basically paralyzed, so that they cannot accurately grasp the next move of the troops in the six northern provinces.This made Oshima Yoshishang and the head of the Otani division anxious like ants on a hot pot.

The two Japanese warships docked at Lushunkou were urgently dispatched from the Second Fleet after the Huaxia Army captured Fengcheng.Fortunately, they were not intercepted by German warships. Perhaps these two warships, which were still in the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], were released because they did not pose any threat to the German Far East Fleet.

Now, they have become the most powerful support of the Japanese army in Dalian. The artillery assembled by the fifth division is no match for the troops of the six northern provinces. Only naval guns with large caliber and long range can pose a threat to the Chinese army.

June [-], at ten o'clock in the morning.

Two dazzling flares pierced the sky, rumbling guns rang out, the Japanese did not withdraw from Dalian within the deadline, and the first shot of the Dalian battle finally started.

The warship docked at Lushunkou turned its muzzle and raised the observation balloon. After the observers reported the artillery positions of the Chinese army accurately, they used naval guns to teach these arrogant Chinese people a lesson.

I don’t want to observe that the balloon has just risen, and two Huaxia Type [-] wooden biplanes suddenly appeared in the sky. These two planes can carry two people, and the brother Bing sitting behind the pilot has already pulled the bolt of the pistol.

Yes, pistols.

Rifles are too long, machine guns are too heavy, grenades are inaccurate, and the best way to attack is a pistol.

Maybe they didn't expect Huaxia's planes to appear suddenly. The two old warships were not equipped with carrier-based aircraft, nor did they have any effective air defense measures. The observers on the balloon are all kinds of abuse.

The shooting accuracy in flight was poor, and the observer on the balloon finally died after two magazines were emptied.

The soldiers did not give up, and pulled a few more grenades from their waists, pulled the fuse and threw them down. Some exploded directly on the Japanese sailor's head, some fell into the sea, and some fell on the deck, bursting. After that, it burns immediately.

The sailors fought back with their rifles and machine guns on their shoulders. The two planes almost flew back to the airport with bullet holes all over their bodies. One pilot was injured, and the ground crew's eyes were staring straight. Really great!

The Japanese once again raised the observation balloon. This time, Huaxia's plane could not surprise again. Once the plane was spotted, the Japanese sailors on the ship would immediately organize an effective attack, making it impossible for the plane to get close to the balloon. Shooting at the observer on the balloon from a distance, the effect can be imagined.

Finally, Huaxia's artillery area was determined, and the naval guns began to turn their muzzles.

The Japanese captain, who was thinking of teaching the Chinese people a lesson, did not know that a terrifying ghost ship was slowly approaching under the water.

Ren Wuchu completed the negotiations with the Germans. Under the trend of money, Governor Waldeck finally nodded, but what he handed over to the Chinese was not only a torpedo boat, but also a submarine that could carry two torpedoes.

This will be a nightmare for the Japanese.

When the battle in Dalian started, the No. 16 Division of the Sixth Northern Province stationed in Chahar suddenly crossed the border between Chahar and Mongolia, and occupied Mount Choibal without any effective resistance.

The border guards in Manchuria and the new No.15 Division also crossed the Ergun River and entered the territory of Eastern Siberia.

The Siberian rebel organization led by Kirov has now gathered a considerable force. When he learned that the Chinese army had entered Siberia, Kirov accepted Kazan's suggestion and led members of the rebel organization to attack Il Kutsk, trying to use this as a stronghold and cut off the supply lines of the Russian border troops.

Meng Erhu and others also took action, and the post-Baikal people attacked the outposts of the Russian border garrison day and night. and markup.

The countries are confused by the series of military operations in the six northern provinces, challenging Japan and Russia at the same time, is Lou Xiao crazy?

President Lou Da was also taken aback by Lou Xiao's generosity. He thought that there must be a false one between the south and the north, but he didn't expect that his son was brave enough and ruthless enough. beat!

"President, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi and Gansu is calling."

"Ma Qingxiang?"

President Lou Da was stunned for a moment, and instead of asking the confidential secretary to read it, he took the telegram by himself, and after reading it, he couldn't help cursing, "Damn it, why didn't he know that these three horses with beards became Patriots?

It turned out that this telegram was not sent by Ma Qingxiang alone, but by the three horses jointly. They asked President Lou Da to fight and cooperated with the troops of the six northern provinces to attack Outer Mongolia.

After the three horses, Song Zhou also sent a telegram from the south. He told President Lou Da that he still had a few small gunboats in his hand and planned to send them all to Dalian.Even if there is no way to fight the warship, at least it can help.

"My navy is weak, I have no strong ships and guns, and the only thing I can do is die!"

This is a blood book presented to him by the captain of a ship under Song Zhou, with the handprints and signatures of all the sailors on it.

A series of actions by the troops of the six northern provinces aroused the blood in their chests. At this moment, they do not distinguish between the south and the north. They only have one name, Huaxia Soldiers!

Afterwards, Shanxi, Hubei, Henan, Shandong, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Sichuan and Guizhou all sent telegrams to President Lou Da, with only one content, please fight!Perhaps they all had their own ideas, and the purpose of the war was not really to send the army to the battlefield, but these telegrams were all very important, and every word was worth a lot.

Sima Jun even went directly to Lou Shengfeng, he still has five divisions in his hand, 8 people!

Huaxia once again seethed across the country.

Some gray-haired old people looked back to the north, tears wet their clothes, "National wars, foreign wars, I have a great China, and I can see my good son conquer the rivers and mountains, and the old man will die without regret!"

Students and citizens took to the streets, workers began to work overtime, businessmen and gentry donated money and goods, and when they learned that a certain army was about to march to the north, they would all gather to cheer loudly.

This is the roar of a nation that has been oppressed for a hundred years. They have had glory, decline, and humiliation, but they will never surrender!

Ministers from various countries were all shocked by the sudden burst of power in China.

German Minister Xin Ci decided to go to the six northern provinces in person. He had to see this Chinese warlord who had received military education in the German Military Academy, even though the six northern provinces were fighting and he was on the front line.

Both the Russian and Japanese envoys protested to the Chinese coalition government with livid faces, and they were all blocked by Zhan Changqing without exception.

The ministers of France, the United States and other countries put on an attitude of staying out of the matter. Anyway, this has nothing to do with them. They just sent a note to the Chinese government. Once the three countries declare war, they will no longer be able to maintain a neutral attitude.

British Minister Zhu Erdian sighed, "A terrible country, a terrible nation."

When this huge country condenses into a force, this force is terrifying enough to make anyone tremble.

Li Jinyan looked at the information Xiao Youde sent, and was silent for a long time.

History has completely deviated from everything he used to know. This turbulent era, this era of heroes, made him feel so small, but he couldn't restrain his blood.

Outer Mongolia, Dalian, Siberia.

He was amazed by Lou Xiao's boldness and military strategy, and he was also surprised by the domestic reaction. Did Young Marshal Lou know that once the six northern provinces took action, the domestic reaction would be like this?

Li Jinyan couldn't imagine.

However, counting the time, today is June 25th, and in three days, the gunshots in Sarajevo are about to ring out, Archduke Ferdinand and his wife will die in Sarajevo, and World War I is about to begin.Europe doesn't have much energy to intervene in Asia's affairs anymore. I have to say that the timing of Mr. Lou's move is really good.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire chose June 28 to hold military exercises in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia, which was very provocative. More than 500 years ago, the combined army of Bosnia and Serbia was defeated by the Turkish army on June 28.

The military exercise of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Bosnia is tantamount to tearing open the wounds of Serbia and Bosnia, and sprinkled a handful of salt on them.

Therefore, the inertia of history has its chance and necessity.

Li Jinyan put down the telegram and rubbed his forehead. The Archduke Ferdinand and his wife will be knocked out by Princip. From a certain point of view, it is really unfair...
