Chapter 146: Mingxi Incident

The battle in the north is in full swing, and Zhang Shusheng is also sleepless.
In recent days, in addition to handling some necessary government affairs, Zhang Shusheng is going home to fish in the backyard lake. It seems that only the leisure of fishing can make him feel more relaxed and think about more problems.
As a confidential secretary, Lu Yunyan has to deal with the office piled up. He has no holidays to accompany him. Although He Ning is the deputy director of the Ministry of Culture and Sports, he is only idle. In addition to some public occasions that require officials of the Ministry of Culture and Sports to attend, she will add the general manager ’s wife Outside the presence of the Deputy Minister, there was no busy work. She and Lu Yun said that one is more like the chief wife of a foreigner, and the other is more like a head wife of a personal butler.
He Ning was sitting beside Zhang Shusheng, cuddling him. A pair of beautiful eyes sometimes stared at the float in the water, and sometimes he looked up at his face, and occasionally kissed him shamefully. With the resumption of fighting in the north, she could feel the tremendous pressure of this husband.
"Be careful, don't worry so much. We have a lot of Chinese talents, and we will definitely stop the Japanese army from going south." He Ning sometimes wanted to share her worries, but after her husband's power became higher and higher, she found herself acting as A little woman, in addition to occasionally appearing as the wife of the dignified lady, is increasingly difficult to help him. Gradually, her focus shifted to solving problems for her husband. "I'm your wife. If you have trouble, you can't tell your subordinates. You can tell me, even if I don't understand, I will be your best listener."
Zhang Shusheng raised the fishing rod in his hand and re-fished. Thinking of the war in the Northeast, he could not help saying, "Although I have repeatedly warned Zhang Xueliang, the Japanese attack will be unprecedentedly fierce. However, when they actually faced the Japanese, they still appeared. Failure. The Japanese elite division relied on superior aircraft cannons to launch a week-long onslaught against the Northeast Army.
The intelligence just came back. While the Northeast Army changed its defense, the Japanese army suddenly launched an onslaught. Some key positions were lost. The first two lines of defense had been lost. At present, the last two lines of the entire Jinzhou defense line are left. Breakthrough, major problems will emerge in the Ning Jin defense line. "
"Although I don't know much about this, I heard that General Huo Dingguo was very good at commanding the battlefield. Didn't Zhang Xueliang use him?"
Zhang Shusheng: "Sometimes the manpower is poor, Huo Dingguo has outstanding qualifications, and although the commanding ability is the top three in the Southwest, the Northeast Army is not the Southwest People's Army, and the combat effectiveness is much worse. Moreover, he is an advisor after all, with limited power. Zhang Xueliang is indecisive. Although he is now focused on fighting against Japan, he is too conservative. When the position was lost, Huo Dingguo originally proposed to immediately invest in the nearest recruits to recapture him. However, he had to mobilize troops from the rear. As a result, the Japanese army used the fortifications of the position to block the Northeast Army instead. The counter-attack forces came back and lost the fighter.
The reason why they were able to block the Japanese this week and paid the casualties of more than 20,000 people was purely by human life. The Northeast Army, although inadequately trained and equipped in general, anyway, can be regarded as a real man, playing a nature. "
He did not say that in order to keep Jinzhou, Zhang Xueliang ordered the supervising team to shoot the deserted soldiers several times. In the end, he even had to move out 200,000 silver dollars, and rewarded and punished them. The two divisions and reinforcements behind him finally held the third line of defense.
"The casualties are so severe?" He Ning shook her mouth in shock. After all, the woman's family didn't understand the killings. In her opinion, the British and Southwestern wars ended with the defeat of the British. Some should not be so bad. Where did she know that the British came from afar and used the war mentality and military preparations of bullying third-class civilizations to defeat the rivals of the same level. "How about the Japanese?"
"The Japanese casualties also greatly exceeded their Jinzhou battle commander Benzhuang Fan's expectations. Within a week, nearly 7,000 people were killed and injured. You don't know how shocking this is.
Especially during a large-scale attack at dawn, a Japanese attacking division was attacked by the Northeast Army's long-launched nearly 200 artillery fire, causing more than 2,000 deaths and injuries on the spot. Zhang Shusheng knew that it was difficult for He Ning to imagine that the power of 200 cannons firing into dense attack queues caught the Japanese army by surprise. Unfortunately, the Japanese army only launched this time the largest-scale cluster charge in a week and suffered a loss. The Japanese army was no longer fooled. Instead, it continuously sent air forces to bomb Northeast Army artillery. Although it was hit a lot by antiaircraft guns hidden around the artillery positions, it also bombed many Northeast Army artillery.
Zhang Shusheng was also very clear. If he changed the Northeast Army in future generations, let alone a battle loss ratio of 20,000 to 7,000, it is estimated that 100,000 to 7,000 would be enough. The result of this 'good' is mainly because the Northeast Army relied on solid fortifications and the Japanese army was too careless in the early days. In addition, the equipment of the Northeast Army was strengthened, especially the cannons, light and heavy machine guns and mortars that Zhang Shusheng focused on strengthening. High-explosive grenades and other weapons for defensive operations have indeed brought great trouble to the Japanese army. The Southwest consultants headed by Huo Dingguo also made great contributions.
Of course, the Northeast Army was staring up and down the country, and it did return some success at any cost. It can be said that the Northeast Army, which had not been favored at all, made a big accident. Of course, Zhang Shusheng is the clearest. You must know that the Taierzhuang battle in the later generations, the heavy military battles of the national army, but in the end did not destroy more than 10,000 Japanese troops. The Northeast Army is able to achieve this result, it is already very impressive.
The latest information shows that Huo Dingguo has proposed to Zhang Xueliang to carry out a large-scale night raid in preparation to recapture the two previously lost fortifications.
Zhang Shusheng could only pray that the battle would go well. Otherwise, the whole of North China would be in danger. Even if North China was under the jurisdiction of Chiang Kai-shek's Nanjing government, the people who had paid for the defeat of the war would be suffering people.
This is where he feels depressed. There are 100,000 elites in the air, but he cannot confront the Japanese army.
Compared with the Northeast war, he did not take into account the provocations of the horses in the Northwest. He only needed an opportunity to clean up the entire Northwest.
However, this opportunity has not yet waited for, but another incident that made him angry, and the whole person's negative emotions instantly found a vent point.
"British militants are reportedly gathering troops at the junction of Hong Kong and Baoan County."
As soon as Zhao Ziyun came, Zhang Shusheng's fishing could not continue. When he returned to his office, he turned on the information brought by Zhao Ziyun. His eyebrows were wrinkled, half-snapped, and his fist smashed on the sandalwood table. He Ning who poured the tea almost dropped the tea cup to the ground.
"The British are crazy," Zhang Shu slaps on the table again with anger, saying angrily.
Zhao Ziyun was also angry and puzzled. Even when he received the information, he sent a special telegram to the Guangdong branch of the Special Situations Department, and the response reconfirmed the authenticity of the information.
"Chairman, the whole incident has been investigated very clearly ..."
Zhao Ziyun began to describe the process of the incident based on a more detailed description of the situation in the call.
In the morning, Mingxi River, Baoan County, Guangdong.
Mingxi, which has flowed for thousands of years, is not only a mother river for Chinese children in Baoan County, but also a river that has witnessed the shame of China. One side of Mingxi is Baoan County, China, while the other is Hong Kong, which was forced to be taken over by the British for 99 years.
In 1930, the Southwest Army captured Guangzhou, and after Chen Jitang surrendered, Guangdong was included in the rule of the Southwest. Baoan County is located on the side of Hong Kong and close to the sea, and some smuggling activities are rampant.
After the economic development of the Southwest, smuggling activities caused heavy losses to the government. In order to severely punish the smuggling, Guangxi's coastal areas and other places have long been heavily guarded against smuggling, especially when Guangdong was just liberated and smuggling was rampant. As the products produced by the Southwest gradually lead the trend of the world's advanced products, whether it is clothing or electronics, home appliances or cosmetics, and even more lucrative new drugs are among the targets of smugglers.
Early in the morning, a scold came from Baoan County near the Mingxi River in Hong Kong.
"Don't run and shoot again"
Next to the Mingxi River, a platoon of Southwest People's Army Guard Division border guards are chasing several smugglers. This group of smugglers has been acting rampant and entered the crackdown plan of Bao'an County Police Department half a year ago. At the beginning, the police handling the case thought that the smugglers were only smuggling some electronic products or new medicines. However, it was unexpected that when the number of related offenders arrested increased, the entire smuggling gang gradually surfaced.
This is actually a huge transnational drug smuggling gang. The main messenger behind the scenes was actually two British drug dealers. This smuggling gang smuggled opium from Hong Kong to Guangdong first, and then bought Southwestern electronics, cosmetics, new drugs and other smuggling back to Hong Kong in Guangdong. Every time you go, you make money.
Although the smuggling gang already had evidence of the smuggling gang, the Baoan County Police Department did not take action, mainly because the two British leaders of the gang were of unusual status. One of the chiefs was responsible for specific smuggling operations and the other was responsible The commander and chief of the plan was actually Captain Robert, a garrison commander of the British Army in Hong Kong at the Mingxi Outpost.
According to accurate information, this time the smuggling was particularly significant, and Robert, the commander of the British army, would also respond at the post.
The operation was very smooth, and the drug dealers who were currently trading were easily captured, and more than a dozen boxes of opium and more than RMB 60,000 were seized on the spot. The action team deliberately let go of five people led by the British leader, and then chased them to Mingxi. In order to deter the British police post from surrendering drug traffickers, the police station has already contacted the border garrison. A platoon of border garrison was immediately dispatched. The chased drug dealers had nowhere to go.
According to the action plan, this arrest of drug dealers was reported to the Guangdong Border Control Office, and it was agreed to arrest the drug dealers and take the British company commander together to deter smuggling. This is the entire operation. The goal.
At the sight of the British post, Yang Jianye, commander of the border platoon, pulled out his pistol, almost no aiming, raising his hand was a shot.
A "bang" shot directly knocked the leading British drug dealer David, to the ground. The bullet hit his calf, and the whole man fell instantly. Seeing that the British outpost was in front, the other smuggling was not shot. Regardless of the gunfire, the elements ran past the British post.
The British army, which was already alarmed, rushed out of the post, and the British soldiers who received the order actually ignored the soldiers who were rushing in the tenth division of the Guangdong Guardian Division and wanted to take David shot to the ground back to the post. .
"Cuffed up"
Yang Jianye rushed forward in two steps, only one step ahead of the British soldiers, and put the pistol on the head of drug dealer David. The other soldiers of the Guardian Division also quickly caught up, aiming their guns at the seven or eight British soldiers who had just rushed out of the post.
",, t! T!" David, a British man, was shot in the calf and was so pained that he survived. Now he was pointed at the gun again. He was scared to death and screamed loudly. Seeing the Chinese soldiers indifferent, he switched to Chinese with a bit of a footstep Shouted, "Ah don't shoot, don't shoot. Robert, save me, save me."
Several British troops rushed out of the outpost saw a Chinese platoon across the street. They were at a loss as to what to do. It was not a shot, but not a retreat. The command of the boss was to get them back to the British. Moreover, they can't just watch David be taken in front of the post, otherwise, the whole of Britain will object.
From time to time, the British army at the outpost increased again. A captain of the British army came out with a full row of British troops. The British troops formed a formation and pointed their guns at the opposite Chinese army. The two sides suddenly clashed.
"Chinese soldiers, why did you shoot at our law-abiding citizens of the British Empire for no reason." The captain commander bounced off the cigarette in his hand, spit, and did not take into account the Chinese Ensign in front.
"Can English be English? Or Captain Robert knew this drug dealer originally." Yang Jianye saw the captain of the British army and guessed that he was the leader of the drug dealer Robert. He used his power to facilitate smuggling between Guangdong and Hong Kong. .
"I do n’t want to argue with you, stupid Chinese, you may not know that our citizens of the British Empire have diplomatic amnesty even in China. I do n’t know if the drug trafficking you said is true or false, but you hurt us with a gun British citizens, these upright soldiers saw it with their own eyes. "
Robert may be guilty of guilty, and he did not dare to argue too much. What happened to drug trafficking? His grandpa and his father are big drug dealers. The entire family has been profiting from China since the Opium War. If it wasn't for the sake of smuggling, and you are still living in London as a rich man, why come here to be a small company commander.
"Don't move, who dares to take another step, Laozi shot him." Yang Jianye wasn't frightened. He had been instructed by the Border Protection Office before he came. Now the state of affairs is difficult, and he must not be weak in the confrontation with foreigners. Your momentum. Immediately pressing David's head to the ground with a pistol, he could shoot at any time.
Robert saw himself as a Chinese officer who was not as afraid of foreigners as the Guangdong soldiers before, but instead looked a little bit surprised.
He did not experience the battle in the Southwest, and privately always attributed the failure of the British and French coalition forces to the inadequate preparation of the British troops in Myanmar and the commander-in-chief of Major General Knox.
But here is Hong Kong, not the southwestern mountainous region. There are British troops stationed in Hong Kong and a sub-fleet stationed in Hong Kong. The Far East Fleet can be reached within a few days. He is not afraid of the Chinese. In his opinion, although the British small fleet had suffered in the confrontation with the Chinese, it was the small fleet. The strengthened Far East fleet would not be able to be countered by the Chinese. The terrain of Hong Kong determines the huge role of a powerful navy.
"Well, maybe there's a misunderstanding in between," Robert waved and waved.
"Show him the photos taken at the scene." Yang Jianye ordered, a guard soldier immediately took out a few photos, the photos were very clear, it was the drug dealers who were dealing in drugs, David and the policeman who was on the scene and ran into the post. Several people are among them.
Robert's face suddenly became unsightly. In his heart, he had already cursed this David hundreds of times, even if the Chinese found it, he even ran to the post to affect himself. Moreover, the bill of exchange on him was very distressing. One hundred thousand pounds. The biggest recent transaction was never expected to be destroyed by the Chinese.
Robert: "Second lieutenant, I warn you once again that citizens of the British Empire have diplomatic immunity. I am now in the capacity of Captain of the British Army in Hong Kong, asking you to hand over this suspect to me, and we will try him later, and Notify you of the results. "
"Diplomatic immunity? Sorry, I have never heard of it. Foreigners do not have any privileges here." Yang Jianye did not care about his threat at all, but threatened David at gunpoint, "said who your connector is , Who else is your accomplice. "
"No, it's not ..." David's courage was too small and he was pressed by the muzzle. He felt that he might be killed at any time, scared and scared, but he didn't dare to say his colleague Robert.
"Lao Tzu counts three times. If no one instructs you, then you are the first offender. Lao Tzu now beats you up." Yang Jianye said that, no matter how Robert's face was already blue, he started to count sharply, "Three, two, one ... ... "
When he was about to shoot, maybe he felt a greater pressure from the muzzle. David had completely collapsed and howled, "It was Robert, Robert, Robert directed me to smuggle and traffic. Everything was Robert. He is the messenger "
When David shouted, Robert was tense immediately, and did not care about the other party being the Chinese army. When he aimed at the gun almost subconsciously, he fired several shots at David's waist.
"Bang Bang Bang Bang"
After five shots in one breath, Robert turned and ran, and at the same time ordered loudly, "The Chinese fired on the British Empire outpost and opened fire."
Yang Jianye took a deep breath, knowing that the conflict was inevitable, and immediately raised his hand towards Robert as a shot, hit his hip, and knocked him to the ground. Unfortunately, a few British soldiers immediately ran over to help Robert and ran towards the post.
"boom"
"boom"
...
The gunfire suddenly started, and the soldiers on both sides opened fire at almost the same time. Several people were shot on the spot. However, because the British army hurriedly returned to the post, although they defeated several soldiers of the guard division, they suffered even more losses.
The scene was chaotic. As the British opened fire, they recaptured the dead and wounded British troops back to the post. And seeing that the heavy machine gun of the British outpost was about to open fire because its own people and the Chinese soldiers were out of contact, the soldiers of the guard division also quickly retreated to a small hill behind.
Yang Jianye gritted his teeth desperately. I did not expect that the commander of the British drug dealer was so arrogant that the two armies dared to fire, which directly led to the firing of the two armies. However, his side did not suffer at all. He counted it. In addition to the two soldiers being seriously injured, there were only four or five wounded soldiers.
"Quick, stop them bleeding"
Each soldier had an emergency medical kit on it, which contained special hemostatic drugs, and other soldiers hurriedly administered medicine to several wounded.
"Machine hit Lao Tzu" Yang Jianye saw that things had already reached this field, and he was not afraid, while ordering the ZH24-type machine gun to fire, he ordered the correspondent who came with the team to generate power. The state of affairs has expanded. "
When Zhang Shusheng received the information, he was extremely angry. I did not want to take back Hong Kong so soon. After all, he didn't want to make the relationship between the Southwest and the British to the extreme.
The Guangdong Border Guard Division's approach is not wrong. If the evidence is conclusive, if it is the Border Guard Office, it will also order the arrest of Robert, even if he is the commander of the British outpost, even if he has the British asylum.
After all, Hong Kong was humiliatedly seized for 99 years, which originally caused the Southwest Army to suffocate. Mid- and low-level officers have repeatedly suggested that Hong Kong be taken back. I just didn't expect this Robert was so bold, in order to escape crimes and destroy the same party, he dared to provoke a military conflict between the two armies and slandered that the Southwest Army soldiers attacked the post.
At this time, in the southwest, because of not being able to participate in the War of Resistance Against Japan in the Northeast, she had already been suffocated ~ EbookFREE.me ~ From Zhang Shusheng to grassroots officers and soldiers, the mood of the war was particularly high. Because of the current tight war in the north, Zhang Shusheng deliberately postponed the military operation that was originally scheduled to begin in the northwest.
But this time, he was not prepared to postpone, whether it is the army or himself, or hundreds of millions of nationals, it is necessary to take a hard breath. However, some of the special operations that the original plan would launch against the Japanese army have only been postponed at this time, and it will become inevitable for the British to bear the heinous hatred of the Chinese to fight back against humiliation.
How many years of bearing humiliation, even when they were attacked by the British, it was easy to defeat them, but now, they have to actively collide with this old empire.
However, he firmly believes that the Southwest and the People's Army who have endured many years of humiliation will not let him down
Picking up the red phone on the table, Zhang Shusheng took a deep breath and ordered, "Yun Xian, notify the Minister of the Army General Wu Tiejun, the Navy Commander General Deng Haogan, the Air Force Commander General Fan Siran, the General Staff Jiang Baili, and let them see me immediately. . "
Then he called the Secretary of the Combat Department of the General Director's Office and drafted an order, "Order the 9th Division of the Guangdong Main Force, and the 10th Division of the Guardian Division to immediately station in Baoan County, and order the Air Force in Guangdong to be ready to take off at any time. Various ministries in Guangdong immediately entered the first-level war preparations "()
