Chapter 032 Dead Road

Shenwei Guangchen continued: "The * of the North Korean Restoration Army is Russians. Their training base is in Kolaskino, Russia, and the military advisers are from the Russian Far East Command. Zhang Jun couldn't hold each other with our Imperial Japanese army in Linjin River, and they took the opportunity to capture Pyongyang.

Zhou Charter smiled faintly: "The Restoration Army is a North Korean army, and it is reasonable for them to occupy Pyongyang. I, Zhang Jun, have always lived in harmony with the North Korean military and civilians, and I don't expect them to be unfavorable to me.

Shenwei Guangchen said in a low voice: "Min Ziying, the queen of the Korean Empire, has arrived in Pyongyang and met with Li Xuanqing to announce the establishment of the Kingdom of North Korea, and Min Ziying has become the Queen of North Korea. The declaration of the Kingdom of North Korea claims to expel all foreign occupation forces! That is to say, the Guangfu Army has become your enemy! In addition, I would like to tell you that the Imperial Japanese army did not cross the Linjin River, but the Zhang army in North Korea has been torn apart and died in name only!"

Zhou Charter sneered: "How can a light restoration army get our Zhangjun?"

Shenwei Guangchen laughed: "General Zhou, Zhang Jun's combat effectiveness is obvious to all, and the Guangfu Army is indeed not Zhang Jun's opponent. However, now, your enemy is not only the Restoration Army, not only the Japanese army, but also the Qing army!"

"What do you mean?"

"To be honest. Just as General Zhou led his troops to fight hard in Lushun, your empress dowager, the old Buddha, launched a small coup. She returned to the Forbidden City, imprisoned the imperial concubine Tahara, and announced that Emperor Guangxu was seriously ill and could not take care of the government. Empress Dowager Cixi personally took charge of the government and declared Zhang Jun to be a rebel. General Zhou, you are a traitor, appointing Ye Zhichao as the Prime Minister of North Korea, leading 50,000 troops across the Yalu River and starting a war against Zhang Jun. Now, Ye Zhichao's troops have arrived in Pyongyang and surrounded Pyongyang City. They plan to occupy Pyongyang and then launch an attack on the Linjin Jiangzhang army. However, Ye Zhichao's army was helpless and fought with the North Korean Restoration Army first. 50,000 troops were defeated by the North Korean Restoration Army with only 3,000 people and retreated to Anzhou.

"Anzhou?" Zhou Charter was shocked. Wu Peifu's first regiment was about to cross the sea from Anzhou to reinforce Lushun. If Anzhou is occupied by Ye Zhichao, it means that Lushun cannot get reinforcements!

"That's right, it's Anzhou!" Shenwei Guangchen continued: "What's worse, there was a division within Zhang Jun. Park Yonglie's fourth regiment surrendered to the restoration army. The second regiment announced its return to the imperial court and joined with Ye Zhichao's troops in Anzhou. The third regiment declared neutrality and retreated to Yuanshan. Only Wu Peifu's second regiment was still loyal to you. However, they were blocked by Ye Zhichao's troops in the flat city between Anzhou and Pingyang and was in a dilemma.

"You're lying!" Yao Xi shouted, "The commander of the Second Regiment is the old brother of Zhang Jun. How could he betray our eldest brother!"

Guangchen Shenwei said: "The news came from the intelligence agency of the Empire of Japan in Tianjin that Lai Chuanwu, the commander of the 201st Battalion of the Zhang Army, took over the 2nd Regiment. Luo Mingfang, deputy division commander of the Zhangjun, and Nahawu, deputy division commander and commander of the 2nd Regiment, were arrested and escorted back to Beijing, waiting for the court to discuss the court!"

"You fart!" Yao Xi was furious. In Zhang Jun, Yao Xi's relationship with Nahawu is the strongest. When I heard that the court caught Nahawu, Yao Xi's lungs were about to explode.

Zhou Charter sighed in his heart that there were no flaws in the words of Shenwei Guangchen, especially when it came to the imprisonment of Zhenfei. Zhou Charter's action, the mastermind behind this action was Zhenfei. The Empress Dowager Cixi imprisoned Zhenfei first and then attacked Zhang Jun, which is not only in line with the logic of war. It also conforms to political logic!

North Korea's Zhangjun has been completed, and Lushun's Zhangjun has completely become a lonely army. Even if there are no Japanese, the court will not let them go!

"I'm bleeding in front of me, and the dog-old Empress Dowager Cixi moves a knife behind my back!" Yao Xi shouted angrily, "Brother, let's reverse it!"

Shenwei Guangchen saluted: "General Zhou, to be honest, our Japanese imperial army, under your hands, has suffered a lot. Not to mention the front, let's just say that nearly 5,000 days of officers and soldiers have been sacrificed at your gunpoint under the city of Lushun! In addition, we also lost the cruiser Wavespeed! However, this not only did not cause your hatred among the Japanese soldiers, but also won the respect of the Japanese soldiers! Now, the Qing Dynasty ignores your achievements, and the Empress Dowager Cixi abandoned you, which is a great injustice. Even the Japanese soldiers feel sorry for you! General Zhou, it is meaningless to continue to fight, and your sacrifice will not be recognized by the Qing Dynasty. You should know that if you continue to fight, you will only have one ending - death! Zhang's officers and soldiers are all excellent soldiers. It's a pity to die in vain like this!"

Zhou Charter smiled faintly: "Let us be your prisoners?"

Mitsushin said solemnly, "On behalf of the base camp of the Empire of Japan, I assure you that as long as you lay down your weapons, you will receive not only humanitarian treatment. The Japanese Empire will solemnly welcome all the officers and soldiers of Zhangjun to join the nationality of the Empire of Japan and enjoy equal treatment of the people of the Empire of Japan. Zhou General, His Majesty said that if you want, you can work in the Army Department of the Imperial Japanese Empire or go to the Imperial Japanese Army University to teach. Your subordinates can choose to serve in the Japanese army or give up the war. They can enjoy His Majesty's special allowance to spend the rest of their lives.

Zhou Charter asked harshly, "In whose hands did Jin Shu's mother and daughter die?"

Shenwei Guangchen was stunned and bowed his head and said, "They committed suicide by jumping into the river, but they also died in my hands!"

Zhou Charter took out the fairy from his arms, and the sunset projected on the fairy, reflecting Jin Shu's beautiful face.

Shenwei minister Guang lamented in his heart. Only now did he know the status of Jin Shu in Zhou Charter's mind!

It seems that this negotiation is doomed to be fruitless, and even his own life cannot be saved.

Zhou Charter wants to avenge his goddess!

"Miss Jinshu is a holy goddess!" Shenwei Guangchen said, "At the beginning, Miss Jin Shu threw herself into the river by the Hufeiling River, which was not my intention. The two countries have made war with each other. General Zhou, please understand.

"Then, please go back. I won't kill you and don't want to continue talking with you." Zhou Charter said coldly.

Hannagan came from the dead with heavy footsteps. His blue eyes were full of fatigue and depression. As the commander-in-chief of the artillery, he had few cannons left.

Zhou Charter said, "Mr. Hannagan, you can leave the Golden Mountain with this Shenwei Guangchen Colonel. You are German. This war has nothing to do with you."

Hannagan sat in the rubble and shook his head: "Zhou Charter, since Toyoshima, I have joined this war. This is my war. In the words of you Chinese, things must be done from beginning to end."

Zhou Charter nodded and said to Shenwei Guangchen, "You can go!"

"General Zhou, meaningless sacrifices are meaningless!" Shenwei Guangchen shouted, "Your country does not recognize your sacrifices, and your empress dowager Buddha does not recognize your sacrifices!"

"30,000 people in Lushun will admit it!" Zhou Charter said.

Shenwei Guangchen was ashamed. 30,000 unarmed people in Lushun died under the bayonets of the Japanese army. Japan, which claimed to have entered a civilized society, did not do better than beasts!

"General Zhou, the local governor is dead! He paid the price for his actions. Shenwei Guangchen muttered.

"But you are still in China!" Zhou Charter sneered: "Shinwei Guangchen, please leave the fort immediately before I change your mind! Don't forget, Jin Shu died in your hands! She is my wife!"

Shenwei Guangchen saluted: "General Zhou, anyway, please accept my personal respect for you and Zhang Jun!"

Zhou Charter turned around and did not accept the salute from Kamio Mitsutomi.

Zhou Charter is not a rude person, but for the sake of Jin Shu, he will never accept the salute of Shenwei Guangchen!

Shenwei Guangchen opened his mouth, shook his head and sighed. Finally, he stopped talking and turned away.

Zhou Charter did not kill him, which was greatly beyond his expectation.

He suddenly found that in front of Zhou Charter, his personality had become extremely humble and he was not qualified to speak!

Shenwei Guangchen returned without success, which was also expected by him, but such a result still made him feel extremely frustrated.

The Golden Mountain Fort is like a flame mountain, and the attacking Japanese soldiers are like a group of moths, ruthlessly burned by the flames!

On the sixth day of the war, the logistics supply of the Japanese army in the Shandong battlefield has reached its limit, the army's food and ammunition is in short supply, and the coal combustion of the joint fleet is almost exhausted. The base camp has to launch an emergency transportation plan to transport supplies from Hiroshima, Japan to Shandong. However, because the transportation line is too long, the amount of materials needed is huge. The first batch of transport fleets finally arrived in Shandong, but the number was far from enough. The Japanese army in Shandong finally attacked the periphery of Weihaiwei, but had to stop the attack because of insufficient ammunition.

The base camp placed Shandong's hopes on Lushun, but Lushun has been untaken for a long time.

At this time, the Qing court issued an order to eliminate Zhang Jun, which made the Japanese army feel puzzled, but in any case, the Qing Dynasty regarded Zhang Jun as a rebel, which was a good opportunity for the Japanese.

In this way, the base camp sent Shenwei Guangchen to negotiate with Zhou Charter, hoping that Zhang Jun would lay down his weapons and give up Lushun.

From the perspective of the base camp, it is logical for Zhou Charter to surrender to Japan. The court of the Qing Dynasty could not tolerate him. His only way out was to surrender, otherwise, he would only have a dead end.

However, Kamio Mitsumi failed!

Zhou Charter chose a dead end.

Choose a dead end, and there is even a foreign devil!

Zhou Charter died generously and put the Japanese army in Shandong in an extremely embarrassing situation!

Shenwei Guangchen returned to Baiwang Mountain, threw away the white flag in his hand and looked back to the west.

The setting sun sank, and the Golden Mountain Fort became a huge silhouette, standing on the silent coastline, and the faint smoke floated in the sea breeze.

A lost seagull swept across the gloomy sky and cried in panic.

Shenwei Guangchen felt like the lost seagull, flying into the bottomless night.
