    "What are you doing? This is a military station of the Japanese Empire. The idlers are waiting to leave immediately!" Near a military station on the Jiaoji Line, Japanese military police were expelling several approaching Chinese.

    These people are young, strong, and well-trained. They should definitely not be "good".  Reminiscent of several recent cases of fights involving Japanese soldiers, Japanese sentries have increased their vigilance.

    These Japanese military police said they were the military police of the temporary railway unit, but they were actually the same soldiers who had just changed their names.

    "Fart! According to the agreement signed between our country and Japan, the Jiaoji Railway is under our jurisdiction. You can go wherever you come from!" The Chinese are not afraid of the guns of the Japanese military and police at all.

    Hearing this, the Japanese military police understood that this was another group of Chinese soldiers who came to make trouble!

    Outsiders may not believe this, but the Japanese soldiers on the Jiaoji line all know that they are now living in dire straits.

    Since the declaration of war between Japan and Germany during World War I, the Japanese have sent troops to occupy Qingdao, then obtained all German interests here, and expanded the line of control to the surrounding areas in accordance with the Japanese tradition.

    Originally, in accordance with the "Regulations on Solving Shandong Uncensored Cases" signed between China and Japan on February 4 last year: the Jiaozhou Concession was returned to China and opened as a commercial port;

    The public properties occupied by Germany were returned to China, and those occupied by Japan were taken back at a low price;

    The Japanese troops withdrew within 6 months;

    Qingdao Customs, Qingyan, and Qinghu submarine cables are returned to China;

    The Qingdao Saltworks and Qingdao Jinan Radio Station were redeemed by China;

    The Jiaoji Railway was redeemed by China, but the Japanese participated in the main management;

    Germany¡¯s old property in Shandong was handed over to a Sino-Japanese joint venture.

    ¡°But Japan made excuses for this and that, and stayed in Jinan and refused to leave.  In addition, the Jiaoji Railway is "mainly managed" by the Japanese. In fact, Japan also controls the two largest cities on the peninsula from Jinan to Qingdao through this railway.  Like the South Manchuria Railway, Japanese soldiers were stationed along this railway, and the external name was the "Provisional Railway Regiment".

    It looks like there aren¡¯t many soldiers, but it¡¯s heartbreaking!

    The role of the Jiaoji Line is self-evident: it is an artery across Shandong, a southern channel for Shanxi coal transportation, and an important port drainage channel for Qingdao Port.  The military significance is that "it takes nine or ten days to get from Qingdao to Jinan. After the train is connected, it only takes twelve hours."  Qingdao thus became the bridgehead into Shandong.

    We must not let the Jiaoji Line become the second South-Manchuria Line!  The 4th Division obeyed the command of the Marshal and took over the entire Jiaoji Line.

    Don¡¯t the Japanese have troops stationed along the line?  We cannot fight, but where there are Japanese soldiers, if they have one, we will station two.  If they leave the railway line, officers and soldiers on site will warn them.  If it doesn't work, use the advantage of more people to attack the smaller ones. As long as you don't shoot first, the order from the division headquarters is "you can shoot to death"!

    The Japanese are very unhappy with this high-pressure situation.

    In the first few days of intervention, many large-scale armed fights took place between the armies of both sides in order to compete for dominance.

    The well-prepared People's Army usually comes forward in one group, with several groups of people watching, and there are machine guns and artillery on alert in the distance.  Among the people on the field, there were far more Chinese than Japanese.  The young men were ordered to fight, and of course the more they fought, the more courageous they became. Almost all the battles ended in a great victory for the People's Army.

    Some time ago, many Japanese soldiers who "violated regulations" were beaten.  At first, everyone just played games with hands and feet, but the Japanese suffered a loss because there were many Chinese soldiers: at various stations along the line, the People's Army began to expand the control area so that it could choke the Japanese railway troops at any time.

    In order to deal with the more than 2,000 people in this regiment, the 4th Division placed an entire brigade along the line!

    It¡¯s not that the lonely Japanese army has never thought of attacking the real ones, but the People¡¯s Army has already announced that once the battle starts, the Japanese army will declare war on the People¡¯s Army and will be counterattacked across the board.  According to the current layout, if the People's Army is upset, it can completely clean up the entire "temporary railway unit" from head to toe.

    The Sino-Japanese agreement stipulates "co-management", but it doesn't allow you to attack us!

    If you fight with your hands, you can't beat them; if you use weapons, you have no chance of winning. Fortunately, the opponent is waiting for them to cause trouble.  Then just shrink back and avoid causing trouble?  Sorry, people always have to eat, drink, and be useful, right?  Is it possible that they are really escorting China Railway?  Coming from such a long distance, the spirit of internationalism is too touching, right?  As long as they dare to go out of the designated circle, there is definitely the possibility of encountering misfortune!

    Such stories are happening everywhere along the Jiaoji Line.

    Japanese soldiers are very aggrieved: They have always been the only ones to show off their power in China, when will it be your turn to bear this humiliation?  But there is no way. The government's intention is not to fight, and its strength does not allow confrontation with the People's Army. What else can it do except endure?

    Later, it didn¡¯t work to go to the Japanese Minister in China. Every time the Japanese protested, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, which had received instructions from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, would also protest again.  Both sides were fighting hard, but it was the Japanese soldiers below who were suffering.

    ??For them, in front of dozens or hundreds of people from the People's Army, a dozen or twenty of them are called "lonely", and they are lucky not to be beaten until their faces are covered with vomiting blood.  The People's Army tortured Japanese road guards in this way. Later, this section of the railway was privately called the "Journey of Blood and Tears" by Japanese soldiers. "Every section of railway track has the blood and tears of Japanese soldiers."

    It¡¯s not that the Japanese Minister Hichiji didn¡¯t cry out for war, but Zhang Hanqing had already responded.  In order to guard against the Japanese, Feng Feng had 7 idle divisions in the Northeast!  If it weren't for this factor, Zhang Zuolin would have killed Wu Peifu long ago.

    Unless there is a big war, or more troops are sent from the mainland to the Jiaoji line, this number of people alone will only be a sacrifice to the People's Army.  However, as we all know, the general international climate is toward disarmament rather than military expansion. The exception to the Feng faction was that China had too few troops before.  After the "Washington Conference" in 1921, Japan began to disarmament, and its military expenditure decreased year by year from 730 million to only 500 million in 1930.

    ¡°We just laid off 4 divisions at a huge cost, why don¡¯t we immediately re-arm them?  Britain and the United States will not agree!

    But occupying the Jiaoji Line is an established national policy. If the Chinese army forces them out of Shandong, how can the Locust Army lose face?  As a last resort, the Japanese North China Commander, the commander of the "Provisional Railway Regiment", placed one part of the garrison in Jinan and the other in Qingdao. In fact, he gave up his "responsibility"

    Now the people along the Jiaoji Line can feel proud and proud. Without the ravages of the Japanese, places along the line suddenly feel like a paradise

    Even so, the People's Army cannot stay in Shandong justifiably, because according to the original principle of compromise, Shandong is a non-intervention area.  It's just that the People's Army forced a brigade in the name of protecting the Jiaoji Line, and the Zhili Clan could only watch. They were not so stubborn as to stand up to the Japanese.

    The Japanese say that Jinan is protected by Japan. Starting from Duan Qirui, there are no Beiyang troops stationed in Jinan. The Japanese say that I have used Qingdao, but everyone can only raise their hands in protest.

    But it¡¯s strange that the Japanese followed the Young Marshal¡¯s example and were beaten until they were beaten. They also learned the common words used by the Chinese government such as ¡°protest¡± and ¡°objection¡±.  Is it really true to what people often say: "A person who is stunned is afraid of being violent, and a person who is violent is afraid of losing his life"?

    Zhang Hanqing has fought against the Japanese several times, and every time the Japanese suffered big losses.  Moreover, he beat the Japanese to death, and every time he completely exploited Japan's weakness. Over time, the Japanese were afraid of him.

    "The way of the world is that evil people will be punished by evil people, and the Japanese's arrogance also depends on the target.

    In addition to the Jiaoji Line, there is another paradise.

    After Zhang Zongchang entered Shandong, he expanded greatly, and soon he added a division of Harada Nakatama to his command.  Due to the large number of men and guns, Zhang Zongchang's military expenditures were huge. Although Zhang Zuolin continued to allocate funds from Liaoning, he could not make ends meet. So Zhang Zongchang had no choice but to let soldiers grow opium in his own area to make up for the shortfall.

    This incident aroused dissatisfaction among various departments in the Feng Army and asked Zhang Zuolin to disband the team.  In desperation, Zhang Zuolin took advantage of the exercises of various army ministries and sent Guo Songling, the commander-in-chief of the Fengjun outside the Pass, to Zhang Zongchang's headquarters. It was called a review, but in reality it was dismissed.  During an inspection of one of Zhang Zongchang's troops, he was very unhappy when he saw the ruffian soldiers, so he announced a reorganization plan on the spur of the moment.

    Zhang Zongchang didn¡¯t know, so he cursed: ¡°Damn it, this is some idiot¡¯s plan to make us like this!¡±

    Guo Songling was furious: "Who are you scolding?"

    Zhang Zongchang understood and hurriedly smoothed things over: "Haha, this is my spoken language, and I am not scolding anyone."

    Guo Songling is not a forgiving person: "I x your mother! This is also my spoken language."

    Zhang Zongchang: "Uncle Guo, you are my mother, you are my biological father, what else can you say? Dad!" Then he knelt down in front of Guo Songling, which made Guo Songling, who was many years younger than Zhang Zongchang, blush.  The purge came to nothing.

    ¡°Obviously, this kind of quick wit must be matched with extraordinary shamelessness.

    Zhang Hanqing couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this, but because of the current situation in Shandong, it is necessary for him to exist, and there is no way to relocate the White Army, wanderers, and stragglers for a while. Perhaps only a ruffian like Zhang Zongchang can control such a situation.  Troops, right?  In line with the principle of making the best use of people's talents, Zhang Hanqing does not want to touch him at the moment.

    Zhang Zongchang tried to win over Guo Songling again. Guo Songling not only did not implement the dismissal, but instead spoke well for Zhang Zongchang in front of Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Zuolin.  Therefore, Zhang Zuolin favored Zhang Zongchang greatly. A month later, Zhang Zongchang's department was officially named the "United Corps", which had a total of 18,000 "foreign corps" and 10,000 Chinese soldiers, together with the Baodugang Recruitment Corps.  The two thousand bandit troops were also handed over to him.

    Suddenly, Zhang Zongchang had no less than the strength of two traditional Beiyang divisions, and he became his commander proudly.

    However, because this old and rough general had completely ruined the image of Fengjun, Zhang Hanqing was still prepared to take the opportunity to transfer the "United Corps" to Tianjin and prepare to manage it himself.

    As Zhang Shouchang secured his position in Shandong, it also indirectly opened the path for the Fengtian Clan to connect the north and the south via the Jinpu Line.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Zhang Zongchang said good things.  Therefore, Zhang Zuolin favored Zhang Zongchang greatly.
