Chapter 628: Lieutenant General Doihara's Cannon
Under Lin Qiaoer's tough tactics, Mixed Division 1 and Long Sheng were no longer the same.
By conscripting young men, beating up local tyrants and dividing up land, the team expanded to 2 people and is still growing.
Moreover, there is no need for deputy division commander or chief of staff, as Lin Qiaoer can hold all the positions alone.
Strangely, Lin Qiaoer seemed to have a lot of energy. She could be seen everywhere, controlling the Mixed 24st Division 1 hours a day and reviving a Mixed 1st Division that was on the verge of disbanding.
Ye Guang stepped down from his position as chief of staff and was put in charge of logistics, which made him very unhappy.
However, he and Wu Sheng, who was in charge of military supplies, were of similar temperament and were hiding in the guest room of Mao Mansion drinking.
Wu Sheng advised: "Young Master Ye! As a man, you should be able to let go of things. Why get angry?"
Ye Guang sighed, "Lin Qiao'er is too good at torturing people. She is simply a pervert."
Wu Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "That's right. She goes to fight the local tyrants at night and to capture the men during the day. She doesn't sleep all day long."
"Bang!" There was a sound.
The door was kicked open, and Lin Qiaoer rushed in with a group of burly female gendarmes of unknown nationality, and kicked over the dining table.
Lin Qiaoer shouted angrily: "You dare to drink in broad daylight? Fine one month's salary, 20 lashes, and execute!"
"Yes!"
The female gendarmerie took out special whips made for ethnic minorities and started whipping them wildly.
Wu Sheng and Ye Guang did not dare to refute and could only endure it silently, because refutation would anger the little bully and lead to even more ruthless attacks.
Lin Qiaoer looked at them eagerly as they smoked like bears, and nodded with satisfaction, "Very good! I hope you can continue to drink privately."
Wu Sheng and Ye Guang cried and said, "We dare not! Never again."
Lin Qiaoer pointed at the exquisite wine jug and silver bowl on the ground and asked in confusion: "Where did these come from?"
Wu Sheng said weakly, "Return to the master! I robbed the landlords and the rich last night."
Ye Guang hurriedly said, "Master! Are we not going to continue to fight against the local tyrants and divide the land?"
"Crack!" There was a sound.
Lin Qiaoer gave him a whip and yelled at him.
"If you talk too much, you will be courting death! Set off immediately! Target Black Wind Village."
"Yes!"
Wu Sheng and Ye Guang received the order tremblingly.
Needless to say, the 1st Mixed Division followed the path taken by the 34th Army.
Security is one thing, but there are also unknown secrets.
Chenxi, Luozi Island.
Xiang Chu took Kong Ling, Yu Xiaowan and Liu Zhengxiong into Peng Dalui's treasure cave on Luozi Island.
Inside the cave, gold, silver, jewelry, various coins, antiques, calligraphy and paintings are piled up like small mountains, which is very pleasing to the eye.
Kong Ling sighed: "It feels like this pirate is richer than the local bandits."
Yu Xiaowan smiled and said, "They control the Yuan River, so they have a much wider area to rob."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! They worked so hard to get it, and now it's in our pockets."
Liu Zhengxiong searched around and found a saddle. He brought it to Xiang Chu and asked in confusion, "Boy! Look at this saddle. Why is it so delicate?"
Xiang Chu took a closer look, threw it into the corner, and waved his hand, saying, "What good is a broken saddle?"
Liu Zhengxiong shouted, "No! I just like this saddle. I'll give it to Ah Mei when I go back to Dalian."
After saying this, he ran over and picked up the exquisite and delicate saddle.
Xiang Chu said helplessly: "Lao Liu! That saddle is made of human skin."
"what?!"
Kong Ling and the other two all exclaimed in surprise.
Liu Zhengxiong hurriedly threw away the saddle and shouted, "This dead water bandit actually used human skin to make a saddle."
Yu Xiaowan said bitterly: "I only know that the Japanese are cruel, how can these Xiangxi pirates be so cruel?"
Kong Ling said anxiously: "Fifty thousand her father! Quickly burn this saddle."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "No! Show the people how brutal the pirates are, and then burn them. Lao Liu! Find someone to spread the word about this, so that those who still want to protect the pirates will shut up completely."
Liu Zhengxiong picked up the human-skin saddle and said bitterly, "No need to find anyone. I'll bring people to spread the word that these hateful pirates are not human beings."
After saying this, he ran out of the treasure cave angrily.
Yu Xiaowan couldn't help but shook her head and said, "Uncle Liu is still like an impulsive patriotic student."
Xiang Chu remembered something and said anxiously, "Oh, right! I forgot to ask Zhang Fei to learn from Cao Cao. If we chain the boats together, can't we load our armored vehicles and heavy equipment? You two continue to choose, I'll go out first."
After saying this, he walked out of the treasure cave.
"No! Together."
Kong Ling and Yu Xiaowan hurriedly followed, obviously frightened by the human skin saddle.
Shicheng, cemetery in the south of the city.
The Kokura Heavy Artillery Regiment was stationed here.
Doihara Kenji brought Yamashita Yoshiaki, Takahashi Taisho and others to come for inspection.
He fondled a shiny black 240mm heavy gun, couldn't help hugging the barrel and kissing it, and laughed, "Yoshi! I love this cannon so much. Ogura-kun! From now on, this cannon will be named Lieutenant General Doihara's cannon."
The Japanese commander, Ogura, said helplessly: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General! I am very sorry, each cannon is not named."
Doihara Kenji said disapprovingly, "No! From now on, you can name it. Jiqiu! Please prepare the pen and ink."
"Hello!"
Yamashita Yoshiaki hurriedly took out the brush and red paint that he had prepared in advance.
Ignoring the objection of Regiment Commander Ogura, Kan'ei Doihara forcibly wrote six crooked red characters "Lieutenant General Doihara Cannon" on the 240mm cannon.
He also asked Captain Ogura with a smile: "Ogura! What do you think?"
What could the regiment commander Ogura say? He could only smile and say, "Well! Very good. Your Excellency, Lieutenant General! You have given this cannon a soul."
"Yoshi!"
Doihara Kan'er nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the peaceful village in the south and said,
"Quick! Reload. Lieutenant General Ben is going to bombard the Chinese village with his own artillery."
The Japanese artillerymen looked at each other in bewilderment. A heavy artillery piece was very expensive, and it would be a waste of talent to use it against a village.
Captain Ogura smiled bitterly and said, "General! The Chinese village was burned down in one go. Why bother using the Empire's 240mm heavy artillery to bombard it? One shell costs tens of thousands of dollars. It's such a waste."
Doihara Kenji roared loudly: "Baka! Can't this Vice Admiral fire his own cannon?"
Captain Ogura said helplessly: "All right! Gunners, take your positions, load the ammunition, and please fire, Lieutenant General."
"Hello!"
The Japanese artillerymen obeyed the order helplessly.
An old Japanese gunner said with some doubt: "Your Excellency Lieutenant General! Because of the continuous rain in Xiangbei, the foundation is too soft. If we fire, this heavy artillery may sink into the ground."
"Snapped!"
Doihara Kan'er slapped him hard and shouted angrily, "Hurry up and reload. This lieutenant general hopes to fire his own shells soon."
"Hello!"
The old Japanese gunner accepted the order with great grievance.
Soon, the heavy artillery completed the preparation for firing.
Doihara Kan'ei stood behind the cannon and excitedly pulled the launching cord with both hands.
"Boom!" A loud noise that shook the earth.
The shells flew towards the peaceful little Chinese village in the distance, razing several houses to the ground.
It was a pity that countless kind villagers were turned into dust under the heavy artillery fire of the Japanese.
Doihara Kan'ei took no protective measures and was knocked unconscious to the ground by the cannon fire.
Lieutenant General Doihara's cannon sank into an underground grave, and the barrel slammed into a tombstone, smashing it and bending the barrel out of shape.
Captain Ogura rushed forward, hugged the bent gun barrel and shouted: "Amaterasu! My gun barrel. Woohoo!"
Doihara Kenji was rescued by Yamashita Yoshiaki. Seeing the scene in front of him, he said disapprovingly: "Yiaki! This heavy artillery is not strong. Wipe off the paint on it, replace it with a strong heavy artillery, and rename it after Lieutenant General Ben."
"Hello!"
Yamashita Yoshiaki bowed and accepted the order.
Under the angry gaze of the entire Kokura Regiment, Doihara Kenji casually wrote six big red characters on a brand new 240mm heavy artillery: "Lieutenant General Doihara's Cannon!"
