Being angry, Liu Yifei didn't dare to do anything.
If it were Wu Peifu's Zhizhi Army, Feng Yuxiang's National Army, or Sun Chuanfang's Zhejiang Army, he would have the courage to fight, but the British on the opposite side would be able to defeat him.
If we can't win, let's put it another way.
Even if we win, no one can afford to cause diplomatic disputes.
It's not a pleasant feeling to be surrounded by others and suddenly be counter-surrounded by others.
The 24th Brigade is the elite of the Fengjun Army.
All members are from the three northeastern provinces.
They are good at field combat but have little experience in street fighting.
In addition, they are not adapted to the hot and humid climate in the south. , Liu Yifei had no confidence at all.
Originally, dealing with one Chen Zikun was enough for him, but he was cut off by the British soldiers.
What was even more annoying was that the 44th Brigade, who had agreed to come for reinforcements, was not even a sign, so this battle could not be fought.
Liu Yifei rushed into a shop with his adjutant, picked up the phone and shook it, intending to report to the division commander Xing Shilian, but the phone could not be reached.
In desperation, he had to send someone to report the message, hastily wrote a military report, and called the orderly.
Said: "Give this letter to Mr.
Xing."
The orderly said: "Brigadier, I don't know the way."
Liu Yifei was furious: "You have come all the way, can't you remember?"
The orderly said: "There are too many roads to remember."
Let alone the servicemen, even Brigadier Liu himself couldn't remember that Shanghai was too big, more than three times bigger than Fengtian City.
The soldiers came from the vast northeastern plains, and they could not be confused in the narrow alleys of Shanghai.
Strange.
"Forget it, forget it, get out."
Liu Yifei dismissed the orderlies and picked up the binoculars again to check the enemy's situation.
There were enemy troops poking their heads on the rooftops in the streets and alleys.
All roads were blocked.
If there really was a fight, the 24th Brigade would suffer big losses. , Soldiers are not afraid of death or injury, but this kind of unnecessary casualties should be avoided if possible.
He immediately ordered: "Everyone should watch the guys in their hands, turn off the safety, and shoot whoever misfires."
Then he went to the enemy's position again and asked Chen Zikun for peace.
However, Chen Zikun was not there, and only Xue Bin, the captain of the anti-smoking law enforcement team, and Gao Liangcuo were at the headquarters.
Liu Yifei said politely: "Captain Xue, Adjutant Gao, I have figured it out, and it is better to follow the young marshal's order and lead the troops to withdraw."
Gao Liangcao said: "Brigadier Liu, that's right.
We brothers, let me tell you from the bottom of our hearts, sooner or later the world of Fengxi will not belong to the young marshal.
How can you go against him?"
Liu Yifei said: "Yes, yes, yes, Adjutant Gao has insight.
Brothers, please withdraw first and apologize to the legion commander another day."
Xue Bin said: "Don't worry, go ahead.
I'll block the British behind you."
Liu Yifei shed tears of gratitude: "Commander Xue, you are so righteous."
The 24th Brigade dispatched 800 soldiers this time.
The Anti-Smoking Law Enforcement Corps made way for them to evacuate.
Liu Yifei did not doubt the deception.
When he led the team through, suddenly rows of rifles protruded from the roofs on both sides of the street.
The Anti-Smoking Law Enforcement Corps The soldiers held grenades in their hands and yelled condescendingly: "You won't kill if you hand over your gun!"
Fengjun's column was cut off, separated and surrounded, and the team could not expand.
The only way to die was to fight as a trapped beast.

Liu Yifei gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "surrender" Liu Yifei was aggrieved when he planned to surrender other people's weapons, but was handed over by others.
Fortunately, the Anti-Smoking Law Enforcement Corps did not do anything to them.
They just surrendered their weapons and detained them in one place.
There are still some officers above the rank of major.
Eat well and drink well.
At the same time, in the British Consulate, Sir Baldwin looked out of the second-floor window.
Zhang Xueliang and Song Meiling were sitting on the lawn bench chatting.
Miss Song San giggled from time to time and seemed to be in a good mood.
The second secretary came to report: "The patrol room failed to stop Chen Zikun.
This guy actually ordered a shooting.
Fortunately, no one was hurt.
Mr.
Consul, what should we do?"
"No, no, no, he hurt people.
He killed a patrolman and injured three merchant soldiers.
We need to lodge the strongest protest to the Beijing Provisional Government and demand that they immediately remove Chen Zikun from his post and investigate." said Lord Baldwin.
"I understand, let's do it now."
Ermi smiled knowingly and turned around.
Sir Baldwin once again looked at Zhang Xueliang in the courtyard.
The young general was reciting Rabindranath Tagore's poems in broken English.
"I hope you won't be lonely tonight, my general."
Baldwin raised his glass coldly and congratulated Marshal Zhang in the distance with disdain.
Shanghai garrison commander Xing Shilian also served as the division commander of the 20th Division of the Northeast Army.
When he came to Shanghai, Marshal Zhang made some painstaking arrangements.
Lu Yongxiang, the former pacifier of Jiangsu and Anhui, was transferred to the army chief.
Zhang Zongchang withdrew to Shandong to serve as the military governor.
Jiangsu's The territory was given to the steady and reliable Yang Yuting, and the security task in Shanghai was handed over to the veteran Xing Shilian who was meticulous and conscientious.
In the combat command room of the Longhua Garrison Command, Xing Shilian looked at the map on the wall and had a headache.
The situation in Shanghai was too complicated.
The administrative areas were divided into the Public Concession, the French Concession, Zhabei and Nanshi, which are the so-called Three Realms and Four Directions.
The entire concession is protected by roads, trenches, and barbed wire.
People from the Chinese community must pass through gates guarded by patrols when going to the concession.
Chinese troops are not allowed to enter the concession.
If you want to transfer troops from Nanshi to Zhabei, you must go through a long detour. lock up.
Marshal Zhang has a secret order.
The final task of the Shanghai Garrison Commander is to completely squeeze Chen Zikun's power out of Shanghai.
It is best to subjugate the enemy without a fight.
As a last resort, you can also fight with swords.
The Jiangdong Army has more than a thousand troops stationed in Shanghai.
The armed force, known as the Anti-Smoking Law Enforcement Corps, is actually an elite infantry regiment.
Xing Shilian sent two brigades of troops to crush them with thunderous force, and the chance of victory was certain.
Xing Shilian had not slept, just waiting for the good news from the front.
Suddenly the adjutant opened the door and came in and reported: "Commander Zhao of the 44th Brigade called and said that he could not contact the 24th Brigade and could not start the operation."
"Trash, how can a whole traveler escape and get lost?"
Xing Shilian was furious, but felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.

After a while, another staff officer came to report: "Brigadier Zhao called and said that the brothers from the 24th Brigade were taken in.
Brigadier Liu and the others have been captured."
Xing Shilian was greatly shocked.
He originally wanted to deal with Chen Zikun without any blood, but was bitten back.
He paced back and forth in the command room, his mind spinning rapidly.
Although Chen Zikun had only a thousand soldiers, he was responsible for the task of enforcing the smoking ban.
He is very familiar with the terrain of Shanghai.
Street fighting at night will suffer a big loss if he is not familiar with the geographical conditions.
Thinking of this, he immediately stopped walking and said: "Send the order to Zhao Minggao to set up defenses on the spot."
The staff officer said blankly: "What next?"
"Then stay where I am."
Xing Shilian grabbed the teacup and smashed it over.
In the morning, Zhang Xueliang was still sleeping soundly.
A ray of morning light filtered through the gap in the curtains and shone on the snow-white sheets.
He and Miss Song San stayed up late last night and had a great conversation, but in the end they still failed.
Young Marshal All the big bed rooms in Huizhong Hotel were for free.
There was a gentle knock on the door.
After a while, the door opened, and Sorghum Stalk came in softly, calling in a low voice: "Young Marshal, wake up."
He was answered by a series of snores.
Gao Liangshou picked up the bedside alarm clock and turned it around.
It started to ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding ding, ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding away.
"Legion Commander, Marshal Chen is here."
Gaoliang Zhuo said.
Zhang Xueliang was stunned for a moment.
It was Chen Zikun who had been talking to Song San last night.
He couldn't help but laugh at himself and said, "Invite him in."
When Chen Zikun came in, Zhang Xueliang was already brushing his teeth in the bathroom in his pajamas, and asked vaguely: "What's going on so early in the morning?"
"It's not that big of a deal.
There was a small conflict last night, and our department surrendered the guns of the 24th Brigade."
Chen Zikun said with a smile.
Zhang Xueliang hurriedly spit out the foam in his mouth: "What?"
Liu Yifei and his officers were having breakfast.
They were eating pancakes, deep-fried dough sticks, and tofu curd.
They were complaining about how sweet the tofu curd in the south was when they heard a shout: "The commander-in-chief has arrived, stand at attention."
Everyone jumped up reflexively and stood upright with their hands pressed against the seam of their trousers.
Chen Zikun and Zhang Xueliang, who were dressed in military uniforms and surrounded by their adjutant Ma Bian, walked over.
Marshal Chen smiled and said: "Brothers, thank you for your hard work.
The flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple.
The people below do not know how to do things, and they have neglected Brigadier Liu.
It is a sin."
Zhang Xueliang looked ugly and said nothing.
After all, the 24th Brigade was the elite of the Fengjun Army.
It was really embarrassing to disarm people without firing a single shot.
Liu Yifei is also in his thirties, so how can he not understand the mystery behind it, but if someone gives him face, he has to continue.
He smiled bitterly and said: "It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Chen Zikun said: "Han Qing, the brothers of the 24th Brigade are here as well as the firearms and bullets.
Please take inventory."
Zhang Xueliang smiled forcefully and said, "I still can't believe you."
Chen Zikun said: "Across the street are soldiers from the 44th Brigade.
They also came to Zhabei in the middle of the night.
It's probably a misunderstanding."
Brigadier Liu and others lowered their heads in shame.
Zhang Xueliang said: "Brother Kun, let me take a step to speak."
Chen Zikun followed him to a deserted place, and Zhang Xueliang said sincerely: "Zikun, it's useless what I say now, because I have no grasp of the situation at all.
Give me a day, and I will give you a satisfactory answer."
"Han Qing, I can trust you."
Chen Zikun patted Zhang Xueliang on the shoulder.
The next thing was much simpler.
Zhang Xueliang came to the 44th Brigade position and severely reprimanded them.
Then he released the prisoners and returned them to Zhao complete with weapons and ammunition.
The army lined up and returned to Longhua Station.
At the Longhua Security Headquarters, Zhang Xueliang stormed in angrily.
Xing Shilian followed behind with a grimace and explained: "Legion Commander, I am also following orders."
"What kind of random order did you get?
We came to Shanghai with the army to help the student workers get justice, not to kill each other.
What's the matter with sending troops to surround the anti-smoking law enforcement team in the middle of the night?
Even if you were ordered to do so, you have to If you want to talk to me, you are not messing around behind my back, and someone has handed over your gun.
Where can I put my face?
How will I see people in the future?"
After venting his stormy anger, Zhang Xueliang felt a little better and said: "Old Xing, I am not targeting you.
What we did is indeed unethical."
Xing Shilian said: "I know, but those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters.
If you only care about face, it will be lost.
The old commander has his own reason for such arrangement."
Zhang Xueliang said: "Disbanding the Federation of Trade Unions, imposing martial law on Shanghai, and outlawing strikes are completely surrendering to foreigners.
Where does the logic come from?"
A high-pitched and powerful voice came from outside: "Young Marshal, let me tell you the truth slowly."
Zhang Xueliang was shocked: "Why is General Counselor Yang here?"
It was Fengjun Chief Counselor Yang Yuting who came.
He strode into the living room.
Da Ma Jin Dao sat on the chair of the Taishi.
He took the hot towel offered by the orderly and wiped his hands as if no one else was there.
He covered his face and said: "I am the Superintendent of Jiangsu Province. , Shanghai is under my jurisdiction, why can’t I come?”
Zhang Xueliang's face darkened.
He originally planned to let Guo Songling take the position of Jiangsu Supervisor, but why did Yang Yuting take it away.
Yang Yuting said: "Young Marshal, we have achieved great results in the negotiations in Beijing, so the strike in Shanghai can be ended."
Zhang Xueliang said curiously: "What kind of achievement is it to take back the joint trial court and remove a few patrol officers from their posts?
This can be considered a huge achievement."
Yang Yuting laughed loudly: "Of course not.
The great powers agreed to increase the tariff rate.

This is real money.
Marshal, you may not know that our country's tariffs and salt taxes are in the hands of foreigners, and those with the largest fiscal revenue are Those pieces, Guanyu, Yanyu, Gengzi Refunds, after the great powers raised tax rates, the money leaked from their fingers was not a small amount.
We got benefits and gained face, so it didn’t matter if we lost a little face.
Besides, the strike was caused by the Communist Party, let them do whatever they want.
It’s not a solution, it’s time to take care of it.”
Zhang Xueliang was silent.
Customs, salt affairs, and railways were all in the hands of foreign powers.
These should be controlled by a sovereign country.
The authorities were complacent about picking out scraps from the fingers of foreigners.
How sad this is.
Looking at Yang Yuting's triumphant face again, I felt disgusting.
I’m very touched and empowered.
