The plan to raid Chishui City was not as successful as expected. The prairie was vast and sparsely populated, and the route chosen basically did not encounter any nomadic tribes. However, when they were dozens of miles away from Chishui City, they unexpectedly encountered a cavalry of a hundred people. However, the enemy was extremely vigilant, and when the huge monster circling in the air and the pursuing cavalry approached, they fled while firing randomly, and finally some of them escaped to give the warning.
When Lu Ming led his troops to the city of Chishui, the city gates were already tightly closed.
Chishui City is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is very steep.
The scale of Chishui City is much larger than that of Kezhi City. It is a stone city structure with an inner and outer city structure. The inner city is the Khan's palace of Ma Quanyou.
The city has a population of over 50,000 people. Nobles, wealthy businessmen, etc. have organized gunmen to join the defense team. According to the news from the eastern grasslands, the Central Plains and Japanese mercenaries are killing their class. Once the city is broken, not only will their property be safe, but they will also lose their lives.
The battle was extremely fierce. Even though armed helicopters flew over the city walls and fired indiscriminately at the defenders, the defenders were not scared off. Instead, they fought back fiercely.
Obviously, as people gradually get used to the existence of aerial weapons from rumors, some of the current aerial combat machines, such as armed helicopters, have lost their deterrent power, and their actual combat capabilities cannot be compared with previous results.
Even a helicopter was hit by the enemy's machine gun fire and its fuel tank was hit. It fled with thick black smoke, but eventually crashed outside the city.
Fortunately, under the cover of armed helicopters, dozens of Black Sparrow soldiers descended from the ropes of the transport plane one after another and landed near the city gate. After paying a heavy price and sacrificing nearly half of the soldiers, they finally blew up the city gate with the help of both inside and outside forces.
Armored vehicles entered the city, and armed helicopters cleared out the enemy's mortars and small cannons, and the situation on the battlefield immediately reversed.
The wolf riders rushed into the city, killing anyone they saw.
There was even a noble who held up a white flag and had just opened his mansion door when he was greeted by fatal bullets.
There were wealthy businessmen, civilians, etc. who tied ropes to escape from the city wall, but they were also shot mercilessly by the Japanese cavalry cruising outside the city.
Inside the city, even the Black Sparrow team members were bloodthirsty and shot many prisoners with guns or unarmed people who came into their sight.
By the time the overall situation was settled and Lu Ming was focusing on enforcing military discipline, the city of Chishui had become like purgatory.
The Chishui tragedy became known several months later, causing an uproar.
However, it is obvious that the Japanese mercenaries who went on an isolated expedition were the culprits. His Royal Highness the Prince was thousands of miles away and it was impossible to control them.
The next day, more than a thousand soldiers from the Cavalry Battalion of the Aoyue Brigade arrived in Chishui.
Two days later, two more infantry battalions entered Chishui City.
The residents of Chishui City, who had been under strict supervision, finally had the opportunity to take to the streets for the first time.
Before martial law is lifted, anyone who takes to the streets without permission will most likely be shot.
In the past few days, although there were only a few hundred armed soldiers managing a city with a population of tens of thousands, the terrified surviving nobles and wealthy businessmen no longer dared to resist.
The poor people stayed at home, listening to the various new policies broadcast by the armored vehicles patrolling the streets outside. Although they felt that they were being treated like children, they also had some expectations, and no one went out to cause trouble.
In fact, when Chishui City announced the lifting of the 24-hour martial law and curfew, the first victory news had already come from the war on the southern front.
While Lu Ming led his troops to the city of Chishui, he issued a war order to launch a full-scale attack on Ma Quanyou's troops.
The day when martial law was lifted in Chishui City was the day when the advance troops of the Second Division captured Zhaojiaying, the most frontline town among the six routes in the northern region occupied by Ma Quanyou.
…
In the palace study with a snow-white dome in the Khan's palace, Lu Ming had one arm naked with a horrific wound, and Oh Yumiko was changing the bandage on it.
When the city was breached a few days ago, Lu Ming was not in the armored vehicle, but led the charge.
Captain Wang, who always appeared at the most difficult combat locations, was like a military god, and the Japanese soldiers bowed down in worship.
In fact, Lu Ming didn’t know how many times he was shot, but most of the wounds were repaired by the closed nervous system.
I left the wound on my arm as a token of my gratitude.
The battle of Chishui City made Captain Wang valued by the royal family. He was appointed as the deputy minister in charge of the central grasslands, and everyone was convinced to act on behalf of the minister.
Legally speaking, the prairie is the private property of the prince.
In fact, this is true, because the Oyue Brigade was a mercenary group and the actual military expenses were paid by the royal family.
Even the Air Force A Regiment and the Air Force B Regiment, whose military funds are also allocated by His Royal Highness the Prince, can be regarded as mercenaries or private armies maintained by the Prince.
The attack on the steppes could be seen, in essence, as a private military operation by the prince.
Lu Ming also set regulations for the management of the prairie, which was to regard the prairie as his private property and the prairie herdsmen as free people in his territory and become part of the principality.
In fact, if it is a multi-ethnic country, it is good to have a royal family that is respected by all, which can avoid many conflicts in the future.
All people are subjects of the prince (king), and are equal. There is no ruling nation, although objectively speaking, the main ruling nation definitely exists.
It is even more basic to downplay national identity and emphasize that everyone is a citizen of the principality.
Of course, no matter what, if my mother is going to get married, it will rain. If we are bound to separate one day, it doesn’t matter.
However, according to the idea of confederation, in the end everyone still respects a nominal head of state (king or emperor). It is also good to be linked together in the form of a confederation, and each develops its own economy. You can't blame others if you fall behind.
As for the prairie here, it will be divided into three parts, and the royal family will send three ministers in charge to take over. Now the Eastern Minister and the Central Minister have already set off. In fact, they are the red-feathered female officials trained by Liuli.
Lu Ming was somewhat helpless about this. Although he told Liuli several times that the training for royal affairs officers could not be conducted only by girls, Liuli turned a deaf ear to it.
"Commander Wang, you still need to rest." While wrapping Lu Ming's arm with thick gauze, Ohyumiko whispered softly.
Lu Ming nodded: "I also want to rest, but now that everything is stable, it's time to settle old scores!" As he spoke, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Ohyumiko's heart trembled. This murderous devil spoke calmly, but in fact, more heads were going to fall to the ground.
"I heard that Minister Masaru will be here in a few days?" Oyumiko asked cautiously.
Lu Ming shook his head: "We can't let the real royal family do these murders, that's what we do!" He gritted his teeth and said, "There must be some people who have escaped the net by killing our people and friends. We should launch a campaign to clean up the city and investigate these people." He paused and said, "We should appease the herdsmen below as soon as possible."
Oh Yumiko glanced at Lu Ming secretly, "Captain Wang, have you ever thought that you are just a scapegoat, and everything you do now will be punished in the future?"
Oh? Lu Ming looked at her.
"I, I was just talking nonsense..." Ohyumiko picked up the medical box and hurried away.
Lu Ming frowned slightly as he looked at her back. She volunteered to join his most powerful company, which must have been agreed by her husband Yamamoto Hiroshi.
She herself understood that, from a certain perspective, she was also a spy, observing her own company's combat mode, actual weapons and equipment, and so on.
But recently I feel that he is more than just a spy. As a young and stubborn member of the military, how could Yamamoto Hiroshi be willing to let the Okuetsu Division slowly become the armed force of the Principality of Montenegro
If there is an opportunity, it is inevitable to stir up trouble.
I don’t know, any plans
Let's see what tricks we can come up with? Lu Ming shook his head, took out a pen and paper, thought for a moment, and said, "Call Gao Wenshu!"
…
Soon, two notices were posted in Chishui City. One was to confiscate all the property of slave owners and investigate the slave owners' previous crimes. The notice welcomed poor people to provide clues, and it was signed by the Chishui Regional Security Committee. The second notice was to distribute food, meat, etc. to residents in the city. At the same time, it would register the population and issue citizen certificates of the principality. It was signed by the Deputy Minister of the Prince's Privy Council stationed in the Central Grassland.
In fact, both the director of the Security Committee and the deputy minister in charge were once Captain Wang.
But the two notices have different meanings. One is to kill and burn, so it came from the city's seclusion agency, while the other is to appease the people, so it came from the royal family.
