Hebian Zhengzo was the commander of the infantry brigade of the North China Garrison Army who provoked the Lugou Bridge Incident, and he was the absolute vanguard of the invasion of China. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Kita Seiichi and Riverside Masao are raccoon dogs, and they are also the pioneers of the invasion of China!

After the peaceful settlement of the Xi'an Incident, the Chinese civil war gradually subsided, and preparations for the War of Resistance were made with all efforts.

Kita-sei was the head of the China Section of the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Army for a while, and when he saw that China was making preparations for the War of Resistance Against Japan, he was anxious, so he sent a letter to the Chief of Staff and the Minister of War, calling for a decisive blow to China while the foundation of Chiang's regime was not stable! This resolute blow to China was the ideological basis for the Lugou Bridge Incident created by the Japanese garrison in North China!

These two guys are mixed up, if there is enough time for them to analyze, and with intelligence support, they will definitely figure out who did it!

In fact, there is no need for them to analyze it carefully, it will not be long before the Central News Agency will broadcast the news that the advance brigade of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army will attack and occupy Lianzhen. The reason why it has not been issued now is because the Eighth Route Army's operational area is in Shanxi, and although the Military Commission was very excited to receive the good news of the Eighth Route Army, and ordered the advance brigade to attack the Jinpu Road to contain the Japanese army in Pingjin and Tianjin, and to respond to the Taierzhuang operation, after all, they had an opinion on the Eighth Route Army's advance across the combat area into the Hebei-Shandong border, so they did not immediately announce the news of the advance brigade's victory in Lianzhen. After the victory in Taierzhuang, Chairman Chiang and the bigwigs of the Military Commission are in a good mood and may be announced.

Moreover, the advance brigade has already arrived at the Jilu border, captured Ningjin City, and is about to capture Qingyun, Wudi, and Yanshan.

Xiao Siming was not afraid of the Japanese army knowing that it was he who led the leading brigade to attack and occupy Lianzhen, and it was he who led the cavalry company to blow up the Ziya River Railway Bridge. It's just that he is different from Wang Lushui, and he will not be so anxious to report to the division headquarters. On the contrary, he likes to do good deeds without leaving a name, and he will blow up the Ziya River Railway Bridge, and he is not in a hurry to send a report to report the success, so let the little devil ponder more!

It's a pity that Shozo Kawabe and Seiichi Kita didn't have a chance to think about it more.

The next day, April 3, the Seya detachment found that the situation on the battlefield was not right, and while reporting to the division headquarters and the military headquarters of the Second Army, it contacted the Sakamoto detachment of the fifth regiment, which had been reinforcing from the Linyi bypass south.

The Sakamoto detachment was blocked yesterday by the 75th Army of the Chinese Army and the 52nd Army of Guan Linzheng, and has withdrawn in the direction of Linyi. It is strange that they did not tell the Seya detachment, which called by radio and could not be contacted. Afterwards, the Sakamoto detachment explained that it was a radio failure!

On this day, the Fifth Theater counterattacked on all fronts, and the combat goal was to gather and annihilate the Seya Detachment of the 10th Division that attacked Taierzhuang!

At this time, neither the Seya detachment nor the commander of the 10th Division, Ryosuke Isotani, had paid much attention to it. Including the commander of the Second Army, Nishio Shouzo, and the commander of the North China Front, Terauchi Shouichi, they didn't care very much. They were too superstitious about the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, believing that the Seya detachment was fully capable of repelling the attack of the Chinese army.

Only one day later, on April 4, that is, the day when the Japanese First Army launched a nine-way siege on the southeast of Jinxi in accordance with the battle plan, the Chinese Air Force actually dispatched 27 fighters to repeatedly bombard the positions of the Japanese Segu detachment on the front line of Taierzhuang to assist the ground troops in the counteroffensive!

The dispatch of the air group greatly boosted the morale of the troops of the Fifth Theater who were engaged in counterattack operations, and at the same time exposed the operational intentions of the Fifth Theater!

By this time, the Japanese army had already judged the operational intentions of the Fifth Theater, and they also knew that the Seya detachment was in danger, and they knew that they needed to dispatch powerful troops to rescue at this time. It is a pity that the main forces of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army are scattered along the Records and in the Jiaodong area, the remaining troops of the 10th Division are scattered in the vast area from Hengshui to Dexian to Jinan, the 16th Division and the 20th Division, the 108th Division, and the 109th Division of the First Army have all been engaged in the nine-way siege of the base area in the southeast of Jin, the 14th Division is far away in southern Jinnan and northern Henan, and there is only a wing of the mixed brigade of the North China Garrison Army in the city of Jinan, and the 114th Division of the Japanese Army is far away in the Beiping area, and it has been transferred back to Pinghan Road and Dexian to form the third independent mixed brigade. The Fourth Brigade was still trekking on the road, and the Fifth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Land was deployed in the northern section of the Jinpu Road, and the Zhengtai Road and Jinpu Road were not passable.

That is, on April 4, the Japanese army expanded its army again, rebuilt the 15th and 17th divisions on the mainland, and built the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd divisions, all of which were three-unit divisions, and the total number of divisions and regiments reached 29.

These newly built divisions will not be able to reach the battlefield in North China for a while and a half, and they will not be able to change the fate of the defeat of the Seya detachment!

The battlefield of Taierzhuang was reversed, and Terauchi Shou repeatedly couldn't care about the bombing of the Ziya River Railway Bridge, and the emergency telegram Riverside Masisan and Kita Seiichi returned to Beiping.

The matter of tracking down the murderer who blew up the Ziya River railway bridge still falls on Major General Qin Yashang, commander of the Fifth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade.

Not to mention the 5th Division, 10th Division, 16th Division, and 14th Division, the third, fourth, and fifth brigades of the independent mixed brigade will also go to the Xuzhou front, and the Japanese army will even transfer troops from the Kwantung Army to form two mixed brigades to enter the customs to participate in the battle, and the defense of Jinpu Road will be handed over to the railway garrison wing urgently transferred by the Japanese army. Moreover, after participating in the Battle of Xuzhou, the 5th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade was transferred to Qingdao to serve as a garrison, and there was no chance to return to Jinpu Road.

In this case, Major General Qin Yashang, the commander of the Fifth Brigade of the Japanese Army's Independent Mixed Brigade, where can he concentrate on finding out who blew up the Ziya River Railway Bridge! He can go to the vicinity of the railway to catch migrant workers to assist the railway operation team to salvage the train that fell into the river and repair the railway bridge of the Ziya River, and he has already done his duty!

At this time, Xiao Siming had already taken Yan Rou into Tianjin City.

The cavalry target was too large, and the soldiers of the cavalry company could not speak Japanese, so camouflaging the Japanese army was only a temporary measure and could not last. Tianjin is also the base and base camp of the Japanese invasion of China, there are many Japanese troops, many Japanese, spies, traitors and puppet personnel, the slightest carelessness will be seen by the Japanese puppet army flawed, the lesson of the battle of attacking and occupying the Shishi station is still fresh in my memory, Xiao Siming could not take his precious cavalry company to take the risk. Therefore, the cavalry company was left by Xiao Siming in the deserted Tuanbowa in Jinghai County, Jinnan, and he took Yan Rou to intercept a three-wheeled motorcycle of the Japanese signal corps, rode it, and swaggered into Tianjin City.

Before this operation, Xiao Siming also wanted to take Zhao Changshou, a special commissioner of the arsenal and a Japanese instructor, to act together, but when he arrived at the border of Jilu, the arsenal needed to find land and put it into production immediately, and it was impossible for Zhao Changshou to leave. Since then, there has not even been anyone to follow him into Tianjin City, so he and Yan Rou can only enter Tianjin together.

The purpose of entering Tianjin is very clear, that is, to escort Yan Rou to the bank in Tianjin to transfer funds, no matter where it is transferred, as long as the wealth of the Yan family does not fall into the pockets of the Japanese army again, it is a victory.

Xiao Siming originally wanted to go to Tianjin City to surprise the little devil, but now he dispelled that idea. Because he took Yan Rou with him, he not only wanted Yan Rou to transfer the funds smoothly, but also to ensure Yan Rou's safety. Besides, he is now the captain of the Eighth Route Army, and after the reorganization of the troops, he will become the head of the brigade-level detachment of the Eighth Route Army.

Otherwise, there is the Haiguang Temple military camp, the base camp of the Japanese invasion of China, the notorious Tianjin secret service, and so many leading traitors, Xiao Siming finally came to visit, how can he not surprise these Japanese puppet soldiers?

At this time, Tianjin did not build a city wall since the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, and the city was open. In addition, Tianjin has the concessions of France, Germany, Britain, Italy and other countries, except for the Japanese concession, the little devil has no jurisdiction over the concessions of other countries for the time being, and the training of military backbones and the holding of important meetings of the underground party in eastern Hebei are all carried out in the Tianjin concession.

Yan Rou seems to have come to Tianjin a lot, she is very familiar with Tianjin City, and after entering the city, she became a guide, guiding Xiao Siming to drive the three-wheeled motorcycle to the Huizhong Hotel, one of the three major hotels in Tianjin in the French Concession, parked the car in the backyard, and asked for a suite at the front desk.

Yan Rou's meaning is very clear, that is, she wants to live in a suite with Xiao Siming.

Such a beautiful and moving girl, such a straightforward expression, Xiao Siming did not appreciate it, and even paid for it himself and asked for a separate room next to Yanrou's suite. Yan Rou, who was so angry that her face was full of joy, was like frost, and she didn't want to look at Xiao Siming anymore.

This is the French Concession, Xiao Siming wears the uniform of the Japanese army Zhongzuo, and he still has to pay for accommodation!

The French Concession is fully equipped, and the Huizhong Hotel is a completely Western-style building, luxurious and high-end, with a bath in the room. After Xiao Siming entered the room, the first thing he did was to open the curtains to observe the outside environment, and the second thing was to quickly take off his clothes, get into the bath, and take a comfortable bath.

The last time he went to Taiyuan, the first thing Xiao Siming did after entering the city was to go to the Daguanyuan bathhouse to take a bath, which was the first time he went to a bathhouse in a big city after his soul crossed. Now when I arrived at the French Concession in Tianjin, I realized that Taiyuan and Tianjin are simply slag of the soil! The Grand View Garden Bathhouse is the most luxurious bathhouse in Taiyuan City, and the facilities inside are not as good as the facilities with bathrooms in the rooms of Huizhong Hotel, and they are far worse!

After taking a bath, Xiao Siming went to knock on Yanrou's door, wanting to take her to dinner, after eating, Xiao Siming also wanted to go around Tianjin City, familiarize himself with the terrain, and in case of an accident, it would be easy to evacuate! (To be continued.) )
