Chapter 146: Mingxi Incident(1/2)

,

spn

The war in the north was raging, and Zhang Shusheng had trouble sleeping and eating.

Recently, in addition to handling some necessary government affairs, Zhang Shusheng went home and fished in the backyard lake. It seemed that only the leisurely fishing could relax him so that he could think about more problems.

As a confidential secretary, Lu Yunyan has to deal with a mountain of things in the office and has no holidays to accompany him. Although He Ning is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture and Sports, she only has a sinecure position. Except for some public occasions that require the attendance of officials from the Ministry of Culture and Sports, she will add the title of wife of the chief minister.

Apart from attending the meeting as the deputy minister, she did not have any busy work. She and Lu Yunyan, one was more like the wife of the president to the outside world, and the other was more like the wife of the president who was a personal housekeeper.

He Ning sat next to Zhang Shusheng, clinging to him, her beautiful eyes sometimes staring at the floats in the water, sometimes raising her head to look at his face, and occasionally kissing him shyly. The war in the north was starting again, and she could feel her husband's affection.

Huge pressure.[

"Be careful, don't worry so much. We Chinese have a lot of talents and will definitely stop the Japanese army from going south." He Ning sometimes wanted to share the worries for her husband, but as her husband became more and more powerful, she found that she

For a little woman, except for occasionally showing up as the dignified and virtuous wife of the president, it became increasingly difficult for her to help him. Gradually, her focus shifted to solving her husband's problems. "I am your wife. I have something to do.

If you don't feel comfortable talking to your subordinates, you can talk to me. Even if I don't understand, I will be your best listener."

Zhang Shusheng picked up the fishing rod in his hand and started fishing again. Thinking of the war in Northeast China, he couldn't help but said: "Although I warned Zhang Xueliang many times that the Japanese attack would be unprecedentedly fierce, but when they actually faced the Japanese, they still showed up.

Defeat. The elite divisions of the Japanese army relied on their superior aircraft and artillery to launch a week-long fierce attack on the Northeastern Army.

The intelligence just came back, taking advantage of the gap between the Northeastern Army's defensive changes, the Japanese army suddenly launched a fierce attack, and some key positions were lost. The first two lines of defense have been lost. Currently, there are only two lines of defense left in Jinzhou. If these two lines

If it is also breached, there will be a big problem in the Ningjin defense line."

"Although I don't know much about this, I heard that General Huo Dingguo is very good at battlefield command. Didn't Zhang Xueliang use him?"

Zhang Shusheng: "Manpower is sometimes poor. Huo Dingguo has outstanding qualifications. Although his commanding ability is among the top three in the Southwest, the Northeast Army is not the Southwest People's Army, and its combat effectiveness is much worse. Moreover, after all, he is a consultant and has limited power. Zhang Xueliang is indecisive.

Although he was now focused on fighting the war, he was too conservative. When the position was lost, Huo Dingguo originally suggested that he immediately deploy the nearest new division to recapture it, but he wanted to mobilize troops from the rear. As a result, the Japanese army used the position fortifications to block the Northeast Army, and instead

The counterattack troops fought back, which was a waste of opportunity.

The reason why they were able to hold off the Japanese this week was to pay the price of more than 20,000 casualties, which was purely based on human lives. Although the Northeastern Army was poorly trained and had average equipment, they were still considered real men and fought bloody battles.

"sex"."

He did not say that in order to defend Jinzhou, Zhang Xueliang ordered the supervising team to "shoot" deserters several times. In the end, he even had to move out 200,000 silver dollars. He was rewarded and punished at the same time. It was not until the reinforcements from the two divisions came up that he firmly defended the third line.

Line of defense.

"The casualties are so heavy?" He Ning covered her mouth in shock. After all, women don't know much about killing battles. In her opinion, the war between the British and the Southwest also ended with the defeat of the British. Even if the Northeast Army was worse

Some, it shouldn't be that bad. Little did she know that the British came from afar and used the war psychology and military preparations to bully third-class civilizations, and suffered a major defeat against opponents of the same level. "Where are the Japanese?"

"The Japanese army's casualties greatly exceeded the expectations of their Jinzhou campaign commander Honjo Shige. Within a week, they paid a price of nearly 7,000 casualties. You don't know what a shocking number this is.

Especially during a large-scale attack at dawn, an attacking division of the Japanese army was fired upon by nearly two hundred artillery pieces from the Northeastern Army that had been lurking for a long time, causing more than 2,000 casualties on the spot." Zhang Shusheng knew that He Ning

It was hard for this girl to imagine the power of 200 cannons firing at the intensive attack formation, which caught the Japanese army off guard. Unfortunately, the Japanese army only launched the largest group charge within a week, and the Japanese army that suffered a loss could no longer

Being fooled, they instead continuously sent out the air force to bombard the Northeastern Army's artillery. Although many were shot down by anti-aircraft guns hidden around the artillery positions, many Northeastern Army's artillery pieces were also destroyed.

Zhang Shusheng also knew very well that if it were the Northeastern Army of later generations, the battle loss ratio of 20,000 to 7,000, or 100,000 to 7,000 would probably be enough. Such a 'good' result could be achieved mainly because of the Northeastern Army's reliance on

Strong fortifications, the Japanese army was too careless in the early stage, and the equipment of the Northeast Army has been strengthened, especially the cannons, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, high-explosive grenades and other defensive weapons that Zhang Shusheng focused on strengthening, which indeed brought great benefits to the Japanese army.

It caused a lot of trouble. The Southwest consultants headed by Huo Dingguo also made great contributions.

Of course, the Northeast Army was watched by the whole country, and it did gain some results at any cost. It can be said that the Northeast Army, which was not expected at all, suffered a big surprise. Of course, Zhang Shusheng knows best. You must know

In the Taierzhuang Battle in later generations, the Japanese fought with heavy troops, but in the end only more than 10,000 Japanese troops were wiped out. The Northeast Army could achieve this result, which is already very impressive.

The latest intelligence shows that Huo Dingguo has suggested to Zhang Xueliang to conduct a large-scale night raid in preparation for recapturing the two lost defenses in front.

Zhang Shusheng could only pray that the war would go smoothly, otherwise, the whole of North China would be in danger. Even though North China was under the jurisdiction of Chiang Kai-shek's Nanjing "government", it would be the suffering nation that would pay for the defeat of the war.

This was what made him depressed. He had 100,000 elite troops but could not fight against the Japanese army.

Compared with the war in the Northeast, he doesn't care about the provocations of the Ma family in the northwest. He only needs an opportunity and he will completely wipe out the entire northwest.

However, before this opportunity came, another incident occurred that made him extremely angry, and his negative emotions instantly found an outlet.

"Report, urgent military information. The British are gathering troops at the junction of Hong Kong and Bao'an County."

As soon as Zhao Ziyun arrived, Zhang Shusheng could no longer continue his fishing. He returned to his office at home and opened the information brought by Zhao Ziyun. He frowned and after a while, he punched the sandalwood table with a loud bang. He was so frightened that he was about to go outside.

He Ning, who was pouring tea, almost dropped the tea cup to the ground.[

"The British are crazy." Zhang Shu was so angry that he slapped the table again and said angrily.

Zhao Ziyun was equally angry and puzzled. When he received the intelligence, he even sent an inquiry call to the Guangdong Branch of the Special Intelligence Department, and the reply reconfirmed the authenticity of the intelligence.

"Chief, the entire incident has been investigated very clearly..."

Zhao Ziyun began to describe the process of the incident based on the more detailed description of the situation in the call back.

In the morning, by the Mingxi River in Baoan County, Guangdong.

Mingxi, which has flowed for thousands of years, is not only a mother river for the Chinese people in Bao'an County, but also a river that has witnessed China's humiliation. One side of Mingxi is Bao'an County, China, and the other side has been forcibly occupied by the British for 99 years.

of Hong Kong.

In 2007, the Southwest Army captured Guangzhou, and after Chen Jitang led his troops to surrender, the entire Guangdong was included in the rule of Southwest. Bao'an County is located on the side of Hong Kong and is close to the sea, so some smuggling activities are rampant.

After the economy of the southwest developed, smuggling activities once caused heavy losses to the "government". In order to severely punish smuggling, Guangxi's coastal areas and other places have already deployed heavy troops to prevent smuggling. Especially after Guangdong was just liberated, smuggling was quite rampant. Since the products produced in the southwest are increasingly leading the world

The trend of advanced products, whether it is clothing, electronic products, home appliances or cosmetics, or even more profitable new drugs, are all targeted by smugglers.

Early in the morning, scoldings came from the Mingxi River in Bao'an County near Hong Kong.

"Stop running and running and shooting."

By the Mingxi River, a platoon of Southwest People's Army Garrison Division border guards were chasing several smugglers. This group of smugglers has been rampant and entered the Bao'an County Police Department's crackdown plan as early as half a year ago. From the beginning

, the police handling the case thought that this group of smugglers were just smuggling some electronic products or new drugs. However, they never expected that when more and more relevant accomplices were arrested, the entire smuggling gang gradually surfaced.

This is actually a very large transnational drug smuggling gang. The masterminds behind the scenes are actually two British drug traffickers. This smuggling gang first smuggles opium from Hong Kong to Guangdong, and then purchases southwest electronic products, cosmetics, and new drugs in Guangdong.

"Waiting for smuggling back to Hong Kong. Every time you come and go, you will make money every time.

Although they have already mastered the smuggling evidence of this smuggling gang, the Baoan County Police Department has not taken action, mainly because the two British leaders of this gang have unusual identities. One of the leaders, David, is responsible for the specific smuggling operations, and the other is responsible for

The overall leader of the command and planning was actually Captain Robert, a company commander of the British garrison at Mingxi Post in Hong Kong.

According to accurate information, this smuggling is particularly important, and the British company commander Robert will also be at the post to respond.

The operation went very smoothly, and the drug dealers were easily captured. More than a dozen boxes of opium and more than 60,000 yuan in southwest currency were seized on the spot. The operation team deliberately let go of the five people headed by the British leader, and then chased these people to Ming Dynasty.

Xi. In order to frighten the British military outpost into handing over the drug trafficker leaders, the police station had already contacted the border garrison. A platoon of border garrison troops was immediately dispatched to chase the drug traffickers up the road to heaven and into the gate of earth.

According to the action plan, the operation to arrest the drug dealers was reported to the Guangdong Border Defense Office and received approval to arrest the drug dealers and also take down the British company commander to deter smuggling, which is the key to the entire operation.

goal.

Seeing that they were about to reach the British outpost, Yang Jianye, the platoon leader of the border army, pulled out his pistol and fired with almost no need to aim.

A "bang" shot directly knocked David, the British drug trafficker leader at the front, to the ground. The shot hit his calf, and the whole person fell instantly. Seeing that the British outpost was in front, the other smugglers who were not shot

Ignoring the sound of gunfire, the elements ran past the British outpost.

The British troops who had been alerted immediately rushed out of the post. The British soldiers who received the order actually ignored the soldiers of the 10th Division of the Guangdong Garrison Division who were rushing in the distance and tried to snatch David, who had been shot and fell to the ground, back to the post.

.

"Handcuffs"

Yang Jianye rushed forward, only one step ahead of the British soldiers, and put his pistol on the head of David, the drug dealer leader. Other soldiers of the garrison quickly caught up and pointed their guns at the man who had just rushed out.

Seven or eight British soldiers at the outpost.

David, an Englishman, was shot in the calf and was in excruciating pain. Now he had a gun pointed at his head. He was frightened to death and howled loudly. Seeing that the Chinese soldiers were moved, he actually shouted in a somewhat sloppy Chinese, "Oh no.

Shoot, don't shoot. Robert, save me, save me."[

The few British soldiers who rushed out of the post saw a platoon of Chinese troops on the opposite side. They were at a loss. They didn't want to shoot, and they didn't want to retreat. The order from their superiors was to let them snatch the British man back.

.Moreover, they cannot just watch David being captured in front of the outpost, otherwise, the entire UK will object.

From time to time, the number of British troops at the outpost increased again. A British captain came out with a full platoon of British troops. The British troops formed a formation and pointed their guns at the Chinese troops opposite. The two sides were immediately at war with each other.

"Chinese people, why did you shoot us law-abiding citizens of the British Empire for no reason?" The captain dropped the cigarette in his hand and spit, without paying any attention to the Chinese second lieutenant in front of him.

"You can speak English to be British? Or does Captain Robert already know this drug dealer?" Seeing the attitude of the British captain, Yang Jianye guessed that he was the drug trafficker leader Robert, who took advantage of his power and repeatedly smuggled between Guangdong and Hong Kong.

.

"I don't want to argue with you, stupid Chinese. You may not know that we citizens of the British Empire have diplomatic amnesty rights even in China. As for the drug trafficking you said, I don't know whether it is true or not, but you injured us with a gun

British citizens, these upright soldiers saw it with their own eyes."

Perhaps Robert felt guilty and did not dare to argue too much. He waved his hand and let the British soldiers come forward to snatch people. What happened to drug trafficking? His grandfather and father were both big drug dealers. The entire family has been profiting from China since the Opium War.

If it weren't for the convenience of smuggling, I would still be living a wealthy life in London, so why would I come here to be a small company commander?

"Don't move. If anyone dares to take another step, I will kill him." Yang Jianye was not scared. He had received a signal from the Border Defense Office before coming. Now that the country is in dire straits, he must not be weak in the confrontation with foreigners.

With his own momentum, he immediately pressed David's head to the ground with a pistol, and he might shoot at any time.

Robert was a little surprised to see that he, a Chinese military officer, was not as afraid of foreigners as the previous Cantonese soldiers, but instead had a ferocious face.
