Chapter 097 Foreign Devil
The mixed brigade under the jurisdiction of the Third Division, led by Yichang Oshima, was about to besiege Ye Zhichao's headquarters surrounded on the hill. Ye Zhichao ran out of food and was about to be captured. At this time, Oshima Yichang received an order from friends from Shan County and had to withdraw from the siege with hatred.
The action of Zhou Charter in Incheon has produced a butterfly effect. He saved Zhili Admiral Ye Zhichao's life and also saved German military adviser Hannagan.
Of course, the most direct result is self-help. Zhang Ziying shook a gun on the side of the Han River and went east. The Japanese army outside the capital were ordered to gather in the capital, and the Zhangzi camp was unimpeded all the way, smoothly jumped out of the Japanese sphere of influence and retreated.
When a friend in Shan County found that he had been deceived, Zhang Ziying had reached the east coast of North Korea, rushed northwest along the east coast, and reached Yuanshan in northern North Korea, far away from the capital.
An indirect effect of the Incheon operation is that Shanxian Youpeng originally intended to launch an attack on Pyongyang regardless of the intention of the base camp, resulting in a fait accompli and forcing the base camp to recognize his strategy of Liaodong and then Shandong. However, this attempt had to be abandoned because of Zhou Charter.
The Third Division returned to the capital and lost its fighter plane to hit Pyongyang.
In this sense, Zhou Charter saved more than 10,000 Qing troops in Pyongyang.
......
According to the pre-arranged assembly site, Zhou Charter and his team converged in a reef-filled bay south of Incheon.
There are 24 people, none of them.
Moreover, they also had a full meal of Japanese canned pork, which is Japanese military food. In the Qing Dynasty, there is no factory that can produce this kind of convenience food, and the officers and soldiers on the expedition can only eat fried noodles or rice.
Zhao Xiaoman did not forget to bring Zhou Charter's uniform. The clothes of the Japanese military are really awkward.
The team restored the original face of the Qing army, and they were all energetic and full of red light. The soldiers completely obeyed their Charter of the Thousand Week, followed him to eat and drink, and win the war, and even don't have to worry about losing their lives.
After four hours of sleeping in the bay, the explosion of Incheon Port gradually subsided. From afar, the dark Xijing Maru still stood on the port. Except for the black smoke from the hull, it did not seem to cause much damage.
"Master, why is that guy so bad? Unexpectedly, it doesn't sink!" Zhao Xiaoman looked at Xijingwan's huge body and asked with his tongue out.
"Xijing Maru is a modern cargo ship with a compartment structure and a considerable fighting ability." Zhou Charter said and remembered the aircraft carrier of the 21st century, which was a distant memory, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"What is... the compartment..." Zhao Xiaoman couldn't understand.
"There are eight houses in your family, one of which is on fire, and the other seven are fine. Your family is still home and has not collapsed."
"Oh," Zhao Xiaoman realized: "However, there is only one house in our family. My mother and my sister live there, and I live in a barn."
Zhou Charter curled his lips and said, "You are such an unlucky child!"
Zhao Xiaoman smiled and said, "However, with the help of Mr. Meng, the little one is now a sentinel. After the war, I will build eight tile rooms when I go home. My sister, one for my mother, and the rest, I..." Zhao Xiaoman stared and didn't figure out how to live in the remaining six rooms for a long time.
"Marry Aunt Six!" Zhou Charter said leisurely.
"Yes, yes! The headmaster was indeed well-informed, with an aunt and a wife," Zhao Xiaoman was overjoyed, and then looked depressed: "There are too many aunts, and I can't afford to raise them."
Zhou Charter slapped Zhao Xiaoman on the forehead: "Be your mother's spring and autumn dream! I don't have an aunt. It's your turn!"
"The boss laughed. I heard from Ha Wu that there was a girl named Jin Shu, who seemed to be with you..."
Zhou Charter stared at Zhao Xiaoman fiercely: "Jin Shu is everyone's boudoir, not a girl!" Not even my aunt!"
"Yes, yes," Zhao Xiaoman said in panic, "It's the master's wife, and the emperor wants to seal the order."
A soldier hurried over and whispered, "Master, there seems to be someone in the reef in front of you!"
Zhao Xiaoman was shocked: "Who is it?"
"I don't know, it looks like a bunch of beglings."
"Have you fucking seen it clearly? Why did you ask Huazi to come here? Zhao Xiaoman scolded in Zhou Charter's tone and became a sentry chief, and the boy's temper became long.
"Master, I look like a begren. They have nothing in their hands and are dressed in rags."
Zhou Charter waved his hand, stood up, and waved. Twenty-four soldiers quickly stood up, raised their heads with guns, and moved neatly.
Zhou Charter secretly praised that they were a group of foots a few days ago, and now, they will not lose by pulling them down any military camp in the Qing Dynasty!
Good soldiers are beaten!
24 soldiers were divided into two teams. Zhou Charter took a team from the southeast, and Zhao Xiaoman led a team from the northwest to the reef pile in front of him.
Zhou Charter held a Japanese revolver in his hand, and the 24 soldiers also had a pistol and a rifle, and the bullets on their waist were bulging. That's the result of their hand in hand in Xijing Maru.
In the reef, most of the more than 100 ragged, yellow and thin people are lying down, and only a few of them are in good physique. They barely lean on the reef. The sea surged up to the reef and soaked their bodies, but they are unconscious, like a group of walking corpses.
Zhou Charter inserted the pistol into the holster. Obviously, this is indeed a group of callers, but the soldiers' eyes are not sharp enough, but Zhou Charter can see that this is a group of callers from the Qing Dynasty, because their ragged clothes also wear the color of the Qing army uniform.
"What part are you?" Zhou Charter asked.
More than 100 beglings opened their eyes and saw 24 black holes at gunpoints. Some people were so scared that they fell into the sea from the reef.
A beggle sitting at the top of the reef laughed loudly: "I'm from Renzi Camp. Which part are you?"
"Bold!" Zhao Xiaoman shouted, "We are from Zhang Ziying! I haven't seen our boss yet!"
"Zhang Ziying? I haven't heard of it." The begling shook his round head and said, "This boss...Brother Zhou!" The begling made an exclamation.
Zhou Charter fixed his eyes and saw that the flower had a round face. Although his face was yellow and thin, there were two fine lights in his eyes, which was quite unruly and unruly.
"Wu Peifu! Why are you here?"
Wu Peifu jumped off the reef and laughed at Zhou Charter: "Where does life not meet? Brother Zhou is well."
Zhou Charter laughed: "Take the gun! They are all my own brothers. Do you still have any canned pork? Bring them all here.
"Yes!" Zhao Xiaoman agreed and brought five boxes of canned pork with the soldiers, which was also the result of the brothers holding sheep by hand. How could there be no interest for the Japanese after being a military man for a long time?
This group of benevolent soldiers devoured it.
Zhou Charter looked at Wu Peifu, who was chewing meat and asked, "Daes, why did you look like this?"
"Blessings to you, big brother!" Wu Peifu chewed and said, "My little brother was not beheaded by Ye Tuo. He was going to guard outside the gate of Tianjin Wubei School to collect your body for you. As a result, he waited for three days and didn't see your head hang out. When I inquired about it, he knew that Jin had released you..."
Wu Peifu mentioned Na Jin, and Zhou Charter hurriedly asked, "How's my master?"
"He's all right." Wu Peifu said, "This old man sent Li Hongzhang to prison, but he spread out a good brother and kept him out. Now he is enjoying tea and walking birds at home and is free."
Zhou Charter breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then why did you run to the Renzi Camp again?"
Wu Peifu swallowed a mouthful of meat and sighed, "When I left the Wubei School, it happened that the Renzi Battalion was recruiting soldiers and said that he was going to go to North Korea. I think it would be better to go to North Korea to make a mess in the Wubei School. He shot a famous hall and earn some fame, so I went to Tianjin Renzi Camp to join the army. I just put on this uniform. , was sent to the Gaosheng by the officer. I didn't expect to be so unlucky. When I met the Japanese warship, a torpedo came and lifted me into the sea. Fortunately, I had a big life and drifted with these brothers for three days and came to this damn place.
Zhou Charter knew that this group of beggets known as the benevolent camp were all survivors on the Gaosheng.
"Brother suffered." Zhou Charter said.
"Where is it? Brother Zhou is in North Korea. I'm afraid his life is not good."
"You boy have sharp eyes." Zhou Charter laughed and briefly told the story of escaping from the Military Academy, went to North Korea to find Zuo Baogui, followed Zhang Xun across the river, met Jin Shu, and sneaked into the capital, the battle of Chenghuan and the attack on Incheon. Finally, he said, "Like you, we have become homeless dogs now."
Wu Peifu's eyes widened: "Brother, you saved me twice! If you hadn't blown up Xijing Maru, we would have become ghosts under the cannon of the Wave Speed! Hannagan, foreign devil, don't eat it. Come and see my big brother. He is our benefactor!"
Hannagan then emerged from this group of devouring beggers and said in almost pure Chinese words, "I'm Hannagan. Thank you for saving my life."
Zhou Charter found that there was actually a blonde foreign devil in this group of beggards.
And, this foreign devil has a lot to come from!
In the military circles of the Qing Dynasty, Hannagan's name is well known. He is not only the adjutant of Li Hongzhang. In fact, he is the general adviser of the German military adviser hired by the Qing Dynasty, and the German teachers of Tianjin Military Academy are his apprentices and grandchildren. They were all introduced by Hannagan, including Ed. The Qing Dynasty even awarded Hannagan the title of wearing a flower fling and leading the rank of general, just like Liu Bu toad!
