Due to Zhang Zongchang's attitude, three squadrons transferred from Tianjin were blocked outside Jinan City and could not enter at all!

On April 23, 1928, more than 1,600 Japanese troops, led by Lieutenant General Fukuda Hikasuke, the commander of the 6th Division, arrived in Qingdao in three ships. At 1 pm, the headquarters of the 11th Brigade of the 6th Division, the headquarters of the 13th Infantry Regiment, and a battalion of the 13th Regiment, and about 600 generals, boarded the bus from Dagang Station to Jinan!

Upon hearing the news, the Nanjing government immediately instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to serve a letter of protest to the Japanese Consular in Nanjing, protesting against Japan's re-sending troops to Shandong, and demanding that "all troops that were planned to be sent to Shandong should be stopped."

On the same day, various trade unions, citizen associations and other groups in Shanghai issued a declaration opposing Japan's troops to Shandong. The National Student Association held a meeting in Nanjing and initiated and organized anti-Japanese movement committees from all walks of life.

However, after hearing the news, the commander of the Northern Expedition, Jiang Zhongzheng, immediately ordered the units of the First Army: "After arriving at Jiaoji Road, we must effectively protect the Japanese and overseas Chinese, and always endure the Japanese and do not make bad noises. Otherwise, we will be severely punished and not lend money!"

On the same day, Lieutenant General Fukuda Hikasuke of the 6th Japanese Division issued a notice claiming that his military police were in the Jinan, Qingdao and Jiaoji Railways and was responsible for protecting the lives and property of Japanese overseas Chinese. If any incidents involving Japanese overseas Chinese will be dealt with immediately and will not be lenient. However, Zhang Zongchang's troops, located in Jinan City, remain silent and did not respond. They only ordered the troops to strictly guard the city gates and beware of the Japanese army.

Seeing this, Fukuda Hikaru was furious! He attracted Nishida Koichi to scold him severely and wanted to meet Zhang Zongchang. However, the meeting with Zhang Zongchang only sent his chief of staff, Kim Shouliang, to refuse. The short and fat Fukuda Hikaru didn't say much, but looked gloomy and cold, and Jin Shouliang looked at him and left Zhang Zongchang's mansion.

Subsequently, all the Japanese troops outside the city drove to the Japanese Consulate of Japan, the Japanese Nomatsu Jin Bank, Jinan Hospital, and Japanese primary schools in Jinan even occupied the Jiaoji Railway Hotel! However, Zhang Zongchang's troops did not receive the order, so both sides were in a fight! The commander of the garrison military police, Tian Youwang hurried to report to Zhang Zongchang. Zhang Zongchang received the news and was silent for a long time and ordered that he not stop it, and then ordered Jin Shouliang to send all the arms worth 200,000 in the arsenal located on Wuying Mountain to Zhonggong Town.

This bandit commander, who was not very reluctant to write because he was ugly and had never been reluctant to write, wrote a pair of words to Jin Shouliang join Tu Qianjun, who was stationed in Zhonggong Town.

"Don't let the land lose my hand!" After Tu Qianjun got this handwritten book that looked ugly but was filled with grief and anger, he was silent for a while and said to Jin Shouliang: "Go back and tell Uncle Zongchang that I know what to do."

At this time, there were turbulent flows in Jinan City! The commander of the military police, Tian Tomoko and former director of the Qingdao Smoking ban Bureau, Jiang Huan, secretly met with Hikasuke Fukuda, the 6th Division of the Japanese Army under the leadership of Koichi Nishida.

At this time, Fukuda Hikasuke, who entered Jinan, set up his headquarters in the Jiaoji Railway Hotel, which is a very high-end Western restaurant. It is a top-notch food and consumption location in Jinan, and the price is something that ordinary people dare not care about. Because of its luxury, Fukuda Hikasuke also took a look at it! He was requisitioned as his headquarters.

Seeing Tian To-wang and Jiang Huan come in, Fukuda Hikasuke smiled and asked them to sit down and looked at them and said, "Two, the Northern Expedition Army is about to come. Zhang Zongchang's performance this time made my Japanese Empire very dissatisfied! I heard that Nishida Jun said that the two are good friends of my empire! So I personally hope that the two can make some contributions to the empire this time!"

Tian Youwang and Jiang Huan looked at each other when they heard this, but they were both silent. Zhang Zongchang's power is so powerful that the Northern Expedition Army is not weak! You are encouraging us to die! Neither of them are fools, and they will naturally not talk to each other immediately.

Seeing this, Fukuda Hikasuke frowned and stood behind Fukuda Hikasuke Koichi Nishida quickly smiled and said, "Two, the Empire will never treat friends unfairly! Since Zhang Zongchang does not cooperate, he should not think of returning after the Northern Expedition Army leaves in the future. Naturally, the imperial army cannot stay here for a long time. What we hope is to have an imperial friend take up a position here, so that the Empire's interests in Jinan can be protected."

After hearing the words of Kyoichi Nishida, Tian Youwang and Jiang Huan lit up! Is the Japanese meant to let themselves and the two of them host Shandong in the future?! As soon as they thought of this, Tian Youwang and Jiang Huan were immediately excited! You know, one of them is just the commander of the military police and the other is the outdated director of the Qingdao Smoking Bureau. If the Japanese can support it, it is not impossible to take the position of the King of Shandong!

"Haha... Mr. Nishida has always known that I have always been a good friend of the Japanese Empire! It is my honor to be able to serve the empire! How could I refuse?! Please give me the order!" Tian Youwang quickly smiled and stood up and bowed.

Jiang Huan couldn't help but be honest when he heard Tian Youwang's words! Damn Tian Youwang, he was really shameless than me! Yesterday, he said in front of Zhang Zongchang that the Japanese were not kind, so he had to be careful! Turn around and you were so stupid! You are so shameless!

"Hahaha... Mr. Nishida knows me the most. I have always been a pro-imperialist who protects the interests of the empire. How could I refuse to serve the empire this time?!" Jiang Huan cursed Tian Youwang shamelessly, and then said even more shamelessly. The expression seemed to be taken for granted.

After hearing this, Fukuda Hikasuke nodded with satisfaction and said to the two with a smile: "The Empire will not forget its friends. As long as the two can stay in Jinan this time to help the Empire defend the Northern Expedition Army, Jinan's interests will definitely be of one of them in the future!"

Hearing Fukuda Hikaru, Tian Youwang and Jiang Huan couldn't help but be ecstatic! You know, isn't Zhang Zuolin, who now has 400,000 troops, supported by the Japanese? If you want to get the support of the Japanese, you may not be able to reach the level of Zhang Dashi in your lifetime!

So, the two of them stood up at the same time and bowed respectfully to Hikasuke Fukuda respectfully and said loudly: "I wish to die for the empire!"

On the same day, Chiang Zhongzheng deployed the First Army to attack Jinan in the Yanzhou camp:

(1) Part one of the Second Corps attacked Linyi, and the other part advanced from Xintai to Boshan. The main force cut off Jiaoji Road through Laiwu, Wenzu Town and Longshan Town and attacked Jinan.

(VI) The Third Army and the 37th Division are the general reserve teams and are on standby near Ningyang.

On the same day, the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of Guo Min held a meeting to pass the "Letter to the People of the World" and the "Letter to the People of Japan" on the issue of Japan's military service in Shandong, calling on the people of the world to provide justice to China, and demanding that the people of Japan seek to curb the aggression policy of Tanaka's cabinet!

On April 24, Chiang Kai-shek arrived at the station of Yejigang, Lanfeng, and met with General Christ to negotiate the Northern Expedition after Japan sent troops to Jinan. He decided to use the main force of Chen Tiaoyuan tribe to attack east of Jinan, Liu Zhi tribe to attack Jieshou, He Yaozu tribe to attack Dashe, Dashiqiao attacked the front of Jinan, Fang Zhen's army to attack Sun Bozhuang and Yangzhuang lines, and Sun Liangcheng's army attacked from Dong'a and Pingyin to Changqing.

At the same time, Sun Liangcheng's troops of the Second Army of Guo Min Party occupied Pingyin. He Yaozu's army in the Third Corps of the First Army launched a fierce battle with Sun Chuanfang's army in Feicheng!

On the same day, Chen Tiaoyuan's unit of the Second Corps of the First Army of the Kuomintang occupied the Mingshui Station of the Jiaoji Railway and launched a fierce battle with the Zhilu Army near Longshan. Fang Zhen's unit of the Fourth Corps advanced to Wande and Zhangxia areas in Changqing County, and met with Liu Zhi's unit of the First Corps!

On the morning of April 24, more than 600 Japanese troops were led by Major General Saito Liu, the commander of the 11th Brigade, to Jinan. On the afternoon of the same day, more than 1,500 Japanese troops arrived in Jinan. More than 3,000 Japanese troops invaded Jinan from Qingdao along Jiaoji Road in recent days!

At this time, Tu Qianjun, who was in Zhonggong Town, finally realized that the Japanese army coming was actually the Sixth Division! For a moment, he actually burst into laughter! He laughed so hard that tears flowed, and Shang Dinan and Lin Bao were trembling beside him!
Chapter completed!
