Chapter 110: The sound of cannons at the entrance ceremony
After the Japanese army occupied Jiangcheng, a special service department was immediately set up, whose main task was to maintain law and order, eliminate anti-Japanese elements in the city, and organize and set up a law and order maintenance committee mainly composed of "Chinese".
And the head of this secret service department is Duomen Jiro, who escaped from Jiangcheng in embarrassment not long ago.
Together with the new head of the special high school section in Jiangcheng, Shigetoku Takeshima, and the commander of the military police, Yoshino Shaosa, he actually became the three actual controllers of Jiangcheng.
Of course, Duomen has much more power than the latter two, and is actually responsible for the governance of Jiangcheng after the occupation.
With the help of Han Liangze, he first familiarized himself with Jiangcheng and contacted some people who might be willing to cooperate with the Japanese Empire, so as to make preliminary preparations for the governance of Jiangcheng after the Japanese army occupied it.
However, what he didn't expect was that not long after he entered Jiangcheng, he exposed his identity and fled in embarrassment, casting a shadow on his heart that originally wanted to do a big job.
The situation in Jiangcheng was indeed more complicated than he imagined, and the military command of China's secret service was not so much the same as he imagined.
Although the Japanese army entered the city smoothly, the subsequent assassination and sabotage gave him a blow, and the Chinese army left, but their agents stayed.
These agents have been lurking for a long time, they are the same face as ordinary people, using various occupations as cover, and most of them are locals, they are agents when they pick up a gun, and ordinary people when they put down a gun, and it is difficult to distinguish at all.
Therefore, on the first day of his tenure, he began to forcibly implement the "five-household joint guarantee" system, as well as the "good citizen certificate" system, except for the concession!
In all Chinese districts, anyone who goes out must have a "certificate of good citizenship" issued by the Japanese military police headquarters, and as long as there are anti-Japanese elements in one household, the five households where this household is located must sit in a row.
Jiro Tamon didn't think he was a person who liked to kill, but in order to quickly quell the resistance in the city and restore law and order, he "had no choice" to order killing.
Just a few days.
The Japanese army killed more than 3,000 people in Jiangcheng, and the real anti-Japanese elements may not even be 1 percent, and the corpses of innocent and tragic people, no one collected them, and threw them directly into the Yangtze River.
The river soaked and drifted downstream, which was miserable.
In order to celebrate the atmosphere of the next military parade into the city, Duomen Jiro can be said to have gone to great lengths, and specially got a group of so-called people who supported the "imperial army" from other places and asked them to stand in a row on both sides of the street.
On Jianghan Road, there is a post in three steps, and a post in five steps, not to mention that.
The buildings on both sides of the street, within 100 meters, were all emptied, and a large number of plainclothes personnel were arranged to squat inside, and all the commanding heights of the buildings were arranged with gunmen.
In order to be absolutely safe.
Of course, in order to create the false impression that the people of Jiangcheng welcomed the "imperial army," the gendarmerie was dispatched early in the morning to drive the people out of their homes, and to make them change into their usual festive clothes, and to stand on both sides of the street with the welcome slogans and flags that had already been printed by the Japanese army.
Colorful flags are displayed, and slogans are like forests.
Consuls and reporters from various countries in Jiangcheng were invited to come and watch.
It's very lively.
Nine a.m.
The military parade into the city begins.
The Japanese troops who participated in and were inspected set off from Xunlimun Station.
The Japanese cavalry unit walked in the front, followed by a military band, and then the Japanese infantry wing, carrying the 38 rifle and walking behind, the bayonets were like a forest, the cold light was shining, and it made people feel a chill!
Grenadiers, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, mortars, mountain artillery, bean chariots......
The light and heavy weapons of the Japanese army were displayed one by one, and the procession was several kilometers long, and the people around them were trembling in their legs and stomachs, wearing white gloves, and the commander of the 11th Group Army of the Japanese Army, General Okamura Ninji, who was riding on a tall horse, was even more proud, and frequently waved his hand.
Being able to personally command an army to occupy the capital of an enemy country (Otto) was the highlight of his military career, and it was enough to be written in the annals of the Great Japanese Empire.
The Japanese troops participating in the parade slowly passed through the viewing platform.
Dismounted, the commander of the 11th Army, Okamura Ninji, dressed in the uniform of a Japanese army general, accompanied by Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba, commander of the 6th Division, inspected the Japanese troops participating in the entrance ceremony.
"The wind direction is southeast, the wind speed is level 4, and the humidity is 85 percent......" Luo Yao's super hearing, he didn't need to go to the scene at all, he could hear the sound of the scene, and then deduce what happened.
Subsequently, Okamura Ninji took to the review stand to deliver a speech.
"Today, with the majesty of Your Majesty, the Imperial Army and Navy have conquered the three towns of Guangzhou and Jiangcheng, and pacified important areas of China. The National Government was only a local government. However, the government adhered to the policy of resisting Japan and tolerating the Communists, and in order to build a new order that would ensure permanent peace in East Asia, the purpose of the imperial conquest was also this......
The establishment of a new order in East Asia should be based on the cooperation of Japan, Manchuria, and China to establish a relationship of mutual assistance in the political, economic, and interrogative fields, so as to realize the common defense of communism and create a new culture......
(Excerpt from Konoe's second statement on China)
On this day, Japanese Prime Minister Fumima Konoe also issued the second Konoe statement in Tokyo, which was a supplement and elaboration of the first Konoe statement.
Chongqing was declared a local government and no more negotiations were held with it.
Boom!
Phew-
Okamura Ninji's speech was about to be impassioned, when a dull voice suddenly came.
This sound is known to any veteran who has been on the battlefield, and it is a sharp sound produced by the friction of mortar shells against the air when they are discharged.
A black dot crossed the Japanese army phalanx participating in the parade and smashed directly into the viewing platform where Okamura Ninji was located, less than three meters away from Okamura Ninji, who was speaking.
"What sound?"
As soon as Okamura Ninji looked up, a small round black dot appeared in the sky above the round glasses, and it was spinning at high speed and smashing towards the review stand where he was.
"Your Excellency Gangmura!"
The adjutant standing on the side was frightened, and rushed to Okamura Ninji desperately.
Rumble!
A violent explosion then sounded, and the dust flew up, and the viewing platform immediately collapsed a little half, but this was not over, followed by another "boom".
This time, the shells fell directly in the Japanese phalanx of the military parade, and the Japanese troops in a neat line did not have time to evacuate at all, and after an explosion, a space of tens of meters was cleared.
At least 100 people were killed or wounded.
Everywhere there were screaming and wailing Japanese soldiers.
The main thing is that the Japanese army was too dense and did not have any bunkers and protection.
The scene is like purgatory on earth, and it is unbearable.
"In that direction, quick, fast ......" The Japanese troops are all soldiers of a hundred battles, and soon someone discovered the location of the mortar position, but the line of sight was blocked, and only the general direction could be judged.
A third shell followed.
This time the Japanese army already had time to prepare, although it was short, but it was enough to reduce some casualties.
The scene was in chaos, Okamura Ninji was pulled out from under the collapsed platform, and the adjutant who knocked him down had already been shocked to the point of bleeding to death.
"Your Excellency the Commander is still angry, hurry, military doctor, military doctor......" A Japanese soldier shouted hoarsely.
In addition, two other mortars also fired three shells each at the Japanese army phalanx participating in the parade, and the explosions were heard one after another.
The bombing was a dizzy Japanese army, and they didn't know what to send.
Especially on the narrow streets, the horses were frightened and a stampede occurred, causing many Japanese soldiers to be second-injured after being stunned by the explosion.
The losses caused by these six shells were no less than a low-intensity battle, and even more so.
A military parade planned by the Japanese army as a gift to celebrate the happy birthday of Emperor Meiji came to an abrupt end.
……
French Concession, a sunshine coffee house renovated behind closed doors.
“1,2,3……”
Luo Yao closed his eyes slightly, his fingers lightly tapped on the desktop of the office, and softly counted the "explosions", as if listening to the most beautiful music.
Three mortars, nine shells.
All rang.
Perfect!
"Gu Yuan."
"Team leader, you have something to order." Gu Yuan's attitude towards Luo Yao changed greatly, and he said respectfully.
"Send someone to spread the news, just say that the Sixth Division has committed a monstrous blood debt in Jinling City, and the dead souls will continue to ask for their lives from the executioners of the Sixth Division, and no one who is covered with blood debts will be spared!" Luo Yao commanded.
Gu Yuan swallowed his saliva and felt the chill in it: "Team leader, do you really want to kill everyone in the Sixth Division?" ”
"Causing panic, you don't understand?"
"Yes, I'll order someone to spread it secretly." Gu Yuan nodded hurriedly.
"Lao Qin, the Japanese will definitely go crazy to arrest them in the next step, and I don't know how many people will be implicated because of this." Gong Hui said.
Luo Yao sighed: "This is a matter of no choice, even if we raise our hands and feet to surrender, people may not let us go, unless we are willing to destroy the country and exterminate the species." ”
"Yes."
"Those who participated in this operation should be evacuated from the safe passage immediately, and those who dared to disobey the order will be punished as battlefield disobedience!" Luo Yao ordered.
"Yes, I'll inform Lao Liu immediately."
……
Four or five hours have passed since the morning "shelling" time.
Temporary field hospital of the 11th Army.
Dozens of Japanese soldiers were guarding the door of the operating room, all with solemn expressions, and some were disgraced, very embarrassed, for them today, I am afraid that it is the most humiliating time since the army.
A military parade to celebrate the victory was disrupted by three mortars and nine shells, which not only seriously injured a general, but also caused hundreds of casualties among Japanese soldiers.
Dozens of military horses are also said to have been damaged.
This is only the loss of personnel and materials, and the biggest loss is that the Japanese army has lost a big face in front of the people of Jiangcheng and even the whole world.
The foreign journalists who were invited raised their cameras and pressed the shutter at the first moment of the explosion, and the scene was very chaotic.
By the time the Japanese military police department reacted and wanted to confiscate the cameras, it was too late.
The repercussions are inevitable.
Even after the explosion, the news reached the headquarters of the Nanjing Dispatch Army as soon as possible, and General Toshiroku Hata received the report and almost fainted.
The most nervous were the head of the Secret Service Department, Jiro Tamon, the head of the Special High School Division, Shigetoku Takeshima, and Yoshino of the gendarmerie, who were responsible for the security work of the military parade in the city.
The gendarmerie is responsible for the vigilance and order of the streets, and the special high division is responsible for detecting and cracking down on possible sabotage by anti-Japanese elements.
The Secret Service Department coordinates the security of the celebrations.
Now there is a major flaw.
Who is responsible?
Jiro Tamen stood at the door of the operating room, his head bowed, his vest was already soaked, if Okamura Ninji was fine, he still had a chance to turn around.
If Okamura Ninji braided.
His ambition is expected to come to an end by tonight.
