Chapter 679: The Anqiu Incident (1)

Just when Liu Yimin began to act, preparing to attack the Japanese army, he had to save and lure the enemy's heavy army group to the south, but the situation of Li Wenli's department in the southwest mountainous area of Anqiu, Luzhong was unstable.

After the Japanese army occupied Jinan, the head of the Japanese army's Jinan secret service, Ohashi Xiongxiong, led his group of spies back to Jinan.

This Ohashi Xiongxiong is not only cunning and ferocious, but also has a tough personality, and he must work hard to do what he wants to do.

The last time the Eighth Route Army captured Jinan, Terauchi Shouichi secretly ordered Kita Seiichi to notify Jinan's secret service to retreat, and it was to save the lives of these dog spies. After returning to Jinan, Daqiao Xiongxiong was bent on revenge, eager to kill all the *** in Shandong! But the situation in Jinan poured a basin of cold water on his head, the huge city was empty, not to mention ***, even the small merchants and hawkers ran away without a trace, and they couldn't find someone to kill casually.

At this time, Ohashi Kumao remembered the order given by Okamura Ningji when he commanded the Second Division to attack the Jilu border, and at that time he still felt that Okamura Ningji was purely verbose, and what was polite to the common people of China, if it was not burned, killed, and looted, what would the Imperial Japanese Army do in China? Only now, facing the empty Jinan City, Ohashi Xiongxiong understood the cleverness of Okamura Ningji, there is no one, what is the use of occupying an empty city?

Ohashi Xiongxiong sent a telegram to the head of the North China Front Army's secret service, Seiichi Kita, saying that all the people of Jinan had fled, and the beautiful city of Jinan was like a dead city. It was necessary to suggest to Commander Shanshanyuan that military discipline should be restricted, the image of the imperial army should be established in the minds of the common people, and the common people should be attracted to return to the city. Otherwise, the function of Jinan City as a city would be lost, and it would be purely a barracks, and it would also be a barracks like a prison without food or drink.

In his telegram, Ohashi Xiongxiong repeated the old tune of using China to control China, saying that the key to the reason why Manchukuo is now so stable is that it introduced Pu Yi, the emperor, and reused a large number of Chinese to form political power, armies, and security organs at all levels, so that the people of Manchuria know that they are under the rule of the emperor, not under the rule of the Japanese Empire. The current situation in Shandong is very bad, ***, the Eighth Route Army has taken root among the common people, the main reason for this situation is that the imperial army did not find prestige Chinese in Shandong as friends. Like Ma Liang and his ilk, their reputation is too bad, not only can they not help the imperial army, but they are also easy to tarnish the image of the imperial army. In order to completely eradicate the power of the Eighth Route Army, we must follow the practice of Manchukuo, find out people who are recognized by the common people, help the imperial army govern Shandong, and use Chinese to deal with Chinese.

What Xiongxiong said on the bridge can be said to be nonsense, the little devils did this before planning the Lugou Bridge Incident, like Yin Rugeng in eastern Hebei, who was networked by the little devils early, and Ma Liang in Shandong is also like this. It's not that the little devil doesn't want to find someone with prestige to be a traitor, the problem is that he has to be willing to do it! As long as there is a little bit of national integrity, who wants to shame the eight generations of ancestors and shame future generations! Like Yan Xishan, the little devils all tried their best to attract temptation before the war, but Yan Xishan just didn't dare to be a traitor. And now he is leading the Jin Sui army to fight with the little devils!

Although it is nonsense, it is indeed a fundamental way to solve the Shandong problem. Therefore, as soon as Kita Makoto received a telegram from Ohashi Kumao, he went directly to Sugi Sugimoto.

Shanshanyuan was one of the main formulators of Japan's policy of aggression against China and one of the main initiators of the war of aggression against China. The so-called use of China to control China also came from the hands of him and his colleagues. Although this old devil was kicked off from the position of land minister and became the unlucky commander of the North China Front, the level of consideration of problems is high, and they are all problems in the strategic sense.

The old devil of Shanshan Yuan dreamed of getting out a bunch of traitors to help him fight the Eighth Route Army, and Xi Duocheng reported them one by one, and Shanshan Yuan shouted Yo Xi repeatedly, saying that this work must be carried out as soon as possible. It is necessary to find a group of Chinese with prestige to come out and work for the imperial army, and to raise 100,000, 200,000, and even 1 million or 2 million security troops to assist the imperial army in dealing with the Eighth Route Army.

Kita Makoto had a headache when he heard this, and felt that General Shanshan Yuan was thinking too far-sightedly, and the most important thing at the moment was how to establish a grassroots political power and a security army and garrison in Shandong to help the imperial army control Shandong. What do you say about pulling up a million or two million security forces, and there are so many weapons and ammunition?

Kita Seiichi couldn't help but remind Shanshan Yuan that the top priority was to find a prestigious Chinese in Shandong to form a government to collect grain and taxes for the imperial army and deal with Tubalu. As for the expansion of the size of the security forces, it can be postponed.

Sugi Sugimoto laughed at Seiichi Kita for not understanding strategically. After laughing at it, Shanshanyuan immediately dictated a telegram, suggesting that the base camp speed up the secret negotiations with the Chiang Kai-shek government, and if Chiang Kai-shek was obstinate and refused to surrender, Wang Jingwei should be activated as soon as possible, and Wang Jingwei should come forward to organize a unified central power, and merge Wang Kemin's provisional government of the Republic of China in North China and Liang Hongzhi's restoration government in Nanjing, so as to strengthen his rule over the occupied areas.

After dictating the telegram, Sugi Sugimoto said to Kita Seiichi, who was standing aside dumbfounded, "Kita-kun, I will order all troops to pay attention to military discipline matters, but only in those places that are friendly to Great Japan. You and the Twelfth Army Headquarters are responsible for handling the affairs of the local government in Shandong, and come up with specific plans. This time, we must find someone who is convinced by the common people to help the imperial army take control of Shandong. ”

Kitacheng was dizzy, he couldn't imagine that a simple telegram from Ohashi Xiongxiong would attract the attention of the commander, and then he would use Wang Jingwei to form a unified central power, kicking Wang Kemin and Liang Hongzhi away. It seems that His Excellency the Commander is His Excellency the Commander, and this insight and strategy are much more powerful than his own!

After the dazed Kita Makoto said Hai, he returned to his office and sent a call back to Kumao Ohashi, asking him to formulate a specific plan, not generalizations. Who to woo and what to pay, you should plan in detail and report quickly.

After receiving the telegram, Xiongxiong Daqiao thought about it carefully and targeted Li Wenli, the commissioner of the eighth special district and the commander of security. The reason is very simple, Li Wenli has a gun, and it is the largest armed force of the *** system in Shandong. According to the intelligence, Li Wenli himself has no good impression of ***, and has personally arrested and executed three Weixian County Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, as long as he is willing to cooperate with the imperial army, there must be a way to deal with Tubalu. Moreover, Li Wenli's official reputation is good, and he has done many practical things in Weixian, and he has appeal and influence. Let him come forward, he is more desirable than Ma Liang and others who have a very bad official reputation and do bad things. There is another point, that is, a lot of work has been done in the early stage of Li Wenli's department, and individual cadres under Li Wenli have already contacted the agents they sent and have a working foundation.

Xiongxiong Ohashi quickly sent a telegram to Kita Seiichi, planning to rebel against Li Wenli.

After reading the telegram, he found the exact location of the mountainous area southwest of Anqiu where Li Wenli's department was located on the map, and then found Yamashita Fengfumi, chief of staff of the North China Front, and Muto Zhang, deputy chief of staff, for a long time, and finally decided to approve Ohashi Kumao's plan and plot against Li Wenli. The specific action plan was formulated by Kumao Ohashi and Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura, commander of the 32nd Division, who was now stationed in Weixian, and was responsible for its implementation. In principle, preparations were made with one article and one force, and if the inducement could not be achieved, troops were mobilized to defeat Li Wenli's department, capture him, and force him to submit.

Yamashita Fengwen attaches great importance to the matter of inducing Li Wenli to surrender, believing that as long as Li Wenli surrenders, it may lead the remnants of the armed forces in Shandong to surrender. If these people become officials at all levels in Shandong appointed by the Japanese Empire, if their troops become the Shandong Public Security Army, they will be much stronger than those hooligans and fallen warlords who were eliminated by Liu Yimin. As long as the imperial army trains their troops in time and recruits to enrich their strength, they will become the right-hand man of the imperial army, and the combat effectiveness of the security forces in Ma Liang is not known to be many times higher.

Another meaning that Yamashita Fengwen considered was that Li Wenli's subordinates were all natives of Shandong, and it was easy to find out the information of the Eighth Route Army. As long as the unit surrenders, the Japanese army will have countless more pairs of eyes in Shandong, and the Japanese army will no longer be able to fight the county magistrate like this, blind and blind, and passive step by step.

It was based on this consideration that Yamashita Fengfumi personally sent a telegram to the commander of the 32nd Division, Kimura Hyotaro, asking him to cooperate with Ohashi Kumao and complete the task of luring Li Fumili.

With the inactive agents in Li Wenli as eyeliner, and the strong support of the North China Front, Ohashi Xiongxiong took a group of agents to Weixian and began to plot against Li Wenli.

Li Wenli, commissioner of the eighth district and commander of security, was upset early in the morning, and sat in the headquarters with his head suffocated and smoking.

After Li Wenli abandoned Weixian and fled to the southwest mountains of Anqiu, he finally gained a foothold, and as a result, the commander of the Japanese Second Army, Nishio Shouzo, seized the gap before the battle of Taierzhuang and concentrated his forces to carry out the first heavy encirclement and suppression of the occupied area in Shandong. The 16th Division of the Japanese Army launched a dragnet-style sweep in the mountainous areas of central and southern Shandong, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil wherever it went. Li Wenli's troops were all militia in nature, and before they could complete the training, they encountered such a large-scale Japanese sweep, and the troops lost nearly one-half. Finally survived, the main force of the Eighth Route Army instructor marched into Shandong in a big way, and soon controlled the Yimeng Mountains. Although the Eighth Route Army was more polite to him and did not surrender his guns and reorganize, his range of activities and control area were greatly reduced, which made him feel very uncomfortable. Needless to say, the Eighth Route Army wiped out the Eighth Division, which led to the second ransacking of Shandong by the Japanese heavy army group, and Li Wenli's headquarters suffered another blow. Finally, when Liu Yimin used the tactics of morning glory and lured the devil heavy army group away, Li Wenli just wanted to put his Eighth Prefecture in order and expand his sphere of influence, but the main force of the Eighth Route Army returned. Although Li Wenli did not know that the main force of the Eighth Route Army was hidden in the southeast of Shandong and the mountainous area of Taiyi, there was one thing he realized very deeply, that is, it was not easy to distribute grain and money. It wasn't until Kao Bin's regiment was almost wiped out by the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army launched the Jiaoji Road Campaign that Li Wenli woke up like a dream, and it turned out that the strength of the Eighth Route Army around him had grown to such a great extent.

Li Wenli is a man who is educated and courageous, and he can come to both military and civil affairs. After the Battle of Jiaoji Road, the Eighth Route Army sent people to him, wanting to invite him to participate in the construction of the Luzhong base area, to serve as the deputy commissioner of the Luzhong Administrative Office, or to participate in the work of the Shandong Anti-Japanese Democratic Senate. This was originally a good thing to unite him to resist Japan, but Li Wenli knew that his hands were stained with the blood of *** people, he was extremely hateful, and he was unwilling to participate in the *** anti-Japanese democratic government, and accused the Eighth Route Army of violating state decrees and establishing political power privately. But accusations are accusations, and Li Wenli understands in his heart that this Eighth Route Army instructor is not easy to mess with, he is not an opponent, and he can't tear his face. Once the face is torn, it is likely that it will be disarmed by the Eighth Route Army, and it will also be charged with sabotaging the anti-Japanese national united front, which will not save anyone. Therefore, he only verbally criticized a few times, and did not dare to act impolitely towards the Eighth Route Army in his actions.

After Shen Honglie arrived in Jinan, he got in touch with Li Wenli, and also added a new official title of "Commander of the Jiaodong Detachment of the Central Einsatzgruppen Corps" to Li Wenli. It stands to reason that Li Wenli should be happy to be added to the official position one after another, but in fact, Li Wenli is very upset now, because these are all false, and he has too few people, so he can't provoke either the little devils or the Eighth Route Army, he is purely trying to survive in the cracks, and he may be eaten one day.

Li Wenli is now upset not only because of these reasons, but now the Japanese army is in a strong position and has reoccupied the counties along the Jiaoji Road. Although the Eighth Route Army won the Battle of Taixi, judging from the situation of the Japanese army recapturing Jinpu Road, no one knows where the main force of the Eighth Route Army withdrew to the south and where it was withdrawn. Li Wenli originally wanted to seize this opportunity to run a cadre training class in the Eighth District and replenish the troops to each unit, but as soon as he learned about the situation, he was a little disheartened, and the young people were willing to be the Eighth Route Army and the county brigade, and no one wanted to join the security forces. If you want to expand the army, you must take the best way to pull the strong Ding.

You must know that when Li Wenli began to organize the troops, the Eighth Route Army had not yet advanced into Shandong, and at that time, Li Wenli was ascending to the heights and responding, and soon several counties in the Eighth District set up security regiments. That's all Changwei's children! Now due to the emergence of the Eighth Route Army and the local government established by the Eighth Route Army, Li Wenli's Ministry actually needs to rely on pulling strong Ding to replenish the troops, which makes Li Wenli extremely resentful.
