Although Zhang Zongchang's death was not like Zhang Zuolin's, it was still known throughout the country. As the person who killed him, Xiao Shenglin was considered to have made a lot of face.
On the Yellow River railway bridge, tens of thousands of defeated soldiers were running in a mess. Behind them was a large group of pursuers.
At this moment, a speeding armored car crashed into the chaotic soldiers and crushed countless people.
Soon after, countless cavalrymen galloped over, and those White Russian soldiers who could not escape in time jumped into the river.
They didn't dare to surrender. They weren't Chinese, and they had done too many evil things. Even if they surrendered, they wouldn't have a good ending.
It was Xiao Shengnan who gave the order to kill all the White Russian soldiers. These White Russian soldiers killed and set fire everywhere, leaving many villages without any people.
At this moment, countless shells flew onto the bridge and the river. Those who jumped into the river were not any better. They were all fed to the fish and prawns.
"Commander Nan, the young commander is still the best. If we can get rid of that General Dog Meat, we will win this battle.”Ma Jicai said to Xiao Shengnan.
"Forget it, let's get ready. Chang Kaishen's Northern Expedition Army is about to join us.”Xiao Shengnan's big brimmed hat was no longer a five-colored one, but a bright day.
At the end of April, the Japanese had sent out the 6th division to Jinan along the railway.
The current major general was Araki Sadao. He was very famous in Japan, but he did not appear during the war against China.
He was the first graduate of the 19th batch of the Japanese Army University and was now a lieutenant general.
"Young Marshal, Marshal Nan has sent an urgent message for us to return immediately.”
"Something happened." Xiao Shenglin said.
"Jinan City has been conquered." the soldier with the radio on his back replied.
Just as Xiao Shenglin was on his way to Jinan, the General Staff of Japan gave the order to the 6th Division to find an excuse to provoke the Northern Expedition Army and humiliate the Republic of China government.
The Japanese would definitely interfere with the unification of China. To them, a divided China was the best. Only then would they be able to destroy it one by one. Their wild ambitions were nothing more than that.
On May 1st, Chang Kaishen came. Xiao Shengnan was a newly-joined force, and he was a general who always won. Naturally, he would attract Chang Kaishen's attention.
This made Han Fuju very unhappy. He was clearly the one who came first, but in the end, he seemed to have become invisible.
On the way, Chang Kaishen said to Xiao Shengnan," General Xiao, I've heard a lot about you. Hua Mulan of the new era, a heroine."”
"You flatter me, chairman." Xiao Shengnan had always thrown compliments to the back of his mind.
"I heard that you have a younger brother? He's very romantic." The principal actually knew about Xiao Shenglin?
"Yes, it was because he blew up that notorious Zhang Zongchang that we were able to defeat his army so quickly.”After being separated for more than two months, Xiao Shengnan missed his younger brother very much.
The 6th division had tens of thousands of soldiers, and they set off from Qing Dao towards Jinan.
At this time, Xiao Shenglin had just returned to Jinan City and was summoned by Chang Kaishen. He had also heard about the movements of the Japanese.
There were countless big shots in the Jinan Northern Expedition Army's headquarters. His sister was one of them. She was wearing a new military uniform, an armed belt, and a big hat with a blue sky printed on it.
Li Zihao had served in the army for a few months, so he was very familiar with the rules of the army. In front of a bunch of big shots, his three beans were not enough.
After saluting Chang Kaishen, Xiao Shenglin said," Greetings, Commander Jiang.”
"He is indeed a handsome man. General Xiao, I heard that your brother is not even twenty yet, but he can turn the entire Shandong upside down. Heroes come from young people.”Chang Kaishen's accent had a strong Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent, but he was very good at flattering people.
"December of the year 1911." Xiao Shengnan told him the year of Xiao Shenglin's birth.
After talking for a while, Chang Kaishen started to get busy. The big shots began to disperse.
Xiao Shenglin walked out with his sister. Xiao Shenglin said," Sister, this Japanese kid is not honest. I think something bad is going to happen."”
Xiao Shenglin had a good history and knew about the Jinan Massacre.
Although time and history had changed, it was still very likely that something like this would happen. As a capable Chinese soldier, he definitely could not let this happen.
"There are so many troops in Jinan City now.”Xiao Shengnan asked with a frown. She didn't like Japanese people, so she went to Germany to study.
One had to know that studying in Japan was the mainstream of society at that time.
"Let's go, Sis. Let's find a place where we can talk.”Xiao Shenglin knew very well that Chang Kaishen would never have the guts to start a war with the Japanese. It was because he was not strong enough that the tragedy happened later.
The 6th division was also known as the Kumamoto division. It was known as the twin of the 2nd division and the Sendai division, but the 6th division was actually stronger.
Kumamoto was on Kyushu Island in Japan. It was a remote place, and many Japanese people saw the army as their only way out.
His grandfather was a samurai named Ashikaru. His father had been a soldier since the Meiji Restoration era. His son was also a soldier. His grandson was also a soldier. Many families had been in the military for generations.
" Isn't there a saying in China that goes," There are many unruly people in the barren mountains and rivers." That's the saying. In addition, the Japanese divisions only recruit soldiers in one place, so the 6th division is currently the strongest division of the Japanese army.
This division had also participated in the Jinling Massacre. They were a very cruel beast division. Even their commander did not dare to let them enter the city casually. Wherever they went, not a single blade of grass grew.
If Chang Kaishen was not willing to fight with the Japanese, Xiao Shenglin could only convince his sister to help him. He would never allow the Japanese to enter Jinan City and slaughter the people.
The 29th Division didn't receive Chang Kaishen's pay, but the Xiao Family's.
After finding a teahouse, Xiao Shengnan ordered a pot of tea and some pastries. Liang Zhen and Yun Kaiyi were guarding the door.
"What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?”Xiao Shengnan no longer treated his younger brother as a precious pet like before, but as a reliable arm.
"I think the Japanese are going to cause trouble. Sis, we have to plan ahead.”Xiao Shenglin poured a cup of tea for his sister and himself. It was the best Lu 'an melon slices.
"How did you know?" Xiao Shengnan touched Xiao Shenglin's forehead and found that he didn't have a fever.
"Sister, do you believe me?" Xiao Shenglin looked at his sister seriously, his eyes flashing with determination.
