On July 7, at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, when the sky was still bright, Setsuro Shimizu had eaten dinner, stepped on his saber and put on his hat, and walked out of the barracks lodgings, outside was a squadron of soldiers, holding his hands on both sides of his trousers, standing straight with his pen straight. Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at the captain squadron leader who walked in front of the group.

Setsuro Shimizu was dressed in a gray-yellow military uniform, with boots, breeches underneath, and a saber in his hand, and stood back in the middle of the team from beginning to end, and said in public: "Gentlemen, work harder!" Report to the Imperial Kingdom! His Majesty the Emperor......" At this, he paused, raised his arms, and shouted, "Hurray, hooray, hooray!" ”

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!" The crowd followed the commander's command and shouted at the same time.

Setsuro Shimizu nodded and waved his hand, "Let's go!" The soldiers who led a squadron of soldiers marched out of the Fengtai barracks and headed northeast in the direction of Wanping. The plan for this exercise was agreed upon a long time ago, and there were two main contents: "use dusk to approach the enemy's main positions; Charging at dawn, the troops attacked from the vicinity of the Dragon King Temple to the east of the Great Tile Kiln. "The Japanese army knew that there were Chinese defenders at the Dragon King Temple, so they chose to attack to the east.

Fengtai was located on the southwest side of Wanping, and the Japanese troops marched briskly along the shoulders of the country roads in two battle formations. Because it was an exercise, the Japanese army was equipped with all empty ammunition (some sources say that it was live ammunition, but it is not accurate), and the imaginary enemy of the exercise was also an infantry squad belonging to the squadron under his command, with a total of 204 people on both sides of the enemy. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the exercise, a communication radio station was also carried, and each squad also brought a Type 11 machine gun (commonly known as a crooked handle).

After some movement, he found his combat position, and then the sound of ping-pong gunfire rang out like popping beans, and at about 10:30 at night, the exercise ended smoothly, "Hey! Setsuro Shimizu lay down behind a dirt slope and commanded the heralds, "Assemble and rest." ”

"Yes!" The herald agreed, and the cat bent down and moved around his position. Even during the exercise, the Japanese must always complete their tactical actions in accordance with the infantry drill code, and they will never be like the Chinese side, knowing that it is an exercise and using empty ammunition, so they will put on an attitude of going out on a spring day and not taking it to heart at all.

After a while, the gunfire on this side stopped, and the herald jumped out of the ditch, ready to convey the order, but unexpectedly the opposite imaginary enemy's position shouted, obviously misunderstood, and the light machine gun roared again!

The herald was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and Shimizu Setsuro scolded sneeringly, "Chirp, tweet!" ”

Setsuro Shimizu was taken aback, goosebumps all over his body exploded in the darkness, and he could tell from the sound that it was live ammunition coming from the direction of the Dragon King Temple on the side! "Lie down!" He shouted and was the first to lie down.

Hypothetically, the enemy didn't hear it, and the empty cartridges were fired suddenly, "Trumpeter, blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet!" Setsuro Shimizu shouted angrily (for the sake of training in actual combat, no trumpets were blown during exercises, especially night exercises, which was also the traditional operating procedure of the Japanese army).

The horn sounded, and the gunfire on the opposite side immediately stopped, and a figure stood up from behind the ditch, and the cat walked over with his waist bent, and he had just walked halfway, when suddenly there were several more gunshots, "Chirp, chirp, chirp!" ”

"Get down!" Setsuro Shimizu shouted, turned his head and looked over, where is there an enemy in the black field? Where did the guns come from?

The Japanese soldiers stayed in their own positions, Setsuro Shimizu waited for a while, confirmed that there was no enemy, and then slowly got up, gathered the troops, and the squad leaders took a roll call, and were stunned to find that there was one person missing!

Setsuro Shimizu was shocked and angry, at such a moment, he would not have thought that his own soldiers had lost, he only considered the situation in the worst direction, his back hurt like a pinprick, sweat ran down his backbone, and it was uncomfortable. "What?"

The squad leader's surname is Ota, with a bitter face, hands on either side of the trouser line, and his body bent down as much as possible, pouting his thin ass - this is already the highest apology gesture for the Japanese, but at the moment, it does not mean anything. "I'm so sorry! Senior captain! ”

"What's it called?"

"It's Shimura-kun, Private Shimura Kikujiro."

Shimizu Setsuro groaned for a moment, turned his head to look at the head of Wanping City, there seemed to be a flashlight on it, and it was shaking and shaking, it was signaling. Recalling the bullet fired in the dark just now, he vented all his anger on the Chinese defenders, it's too unusual, we are in a drill, and you actually shoot with live ammunition?

This kind of thing his small squadron leader did not dare to specialize in, called the signal soldier, took the radio on his back, called through the Fengtai garrison, and said: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, I am Setsuro Shimizu, the 8th squadron I led has finished the exercise, but a soldier suddenly disappeared, named Kikujiro Shimura, and the rank is private. At the same time, in the course of the exercises, we were subjected to live firing. ”

On the other side of the radio station was the commander of the Fengtai garrison, whose name was Ichiki Kiyonao, whose military rank was Shaozuo, and he had troops conducting exercises abroad, so he naturally could not go to sleep as if he were the shopkeeper, and he had to wait for all the troops to return from the exercise, and then he could make preliminary inquiries about the results of the exercise before he could go to rest. Hearing this, he was stunned, "There is a live shot?" A private is lost? ”

"Yes." Setsuro Shimizu replied. Knowing that the other party couldn't see it, he still bowed respectfully: "All mistakes are due to the unfavorable command of the lowly position, please deal with it Your Excellency Shaozuo!" ”

The soldiers of the 8th Squadron looked at each other, and they all saw the appreciation in each other's hearts, really worthy of Qing Shui-kun? Have the courage to take responsibility, it's really an honor for us to follow a predecessor like Shimizu-kun!

"Every soldier is a precious asset of the Imperial State, and there is no room for loss. Shimizu-kun, you must get the missing soldier back! ”

"Yes!"

Ichiki Kiyoshi thought straight for a while, and said: "I will report this matter to Mutaguchi Daisa, wait for his instructions, and you will look for it on the spot first." ”

"Yes."

Mutaguchi is the commander of the Japanese army, his full name is Mutaguchi Ryoya, and his military rank is Dazuo, which is equivalent to the commander of the Chinese regiment, and he lives in the regimental headquarters of the garrison brigade in Beiping City. When I received the call, I was shocked, "I am thinking that it must be the Chinese garrison in the direction of Wanping who attacked our army with live ammunition." Since May 12 of the Showa era, the Chinese defenders, instigated by the Blue Coat Society and the Communist Party, have repeatedly provoked our army's exercise personnel, and now they have disregarded the safety of the imperial soldiers and fired live ammunition, thinking of their duties and asking for face-to-face formal negotiations with the Chinese side. ”

Mu Tianguchi smiled, "Yimu-kun, you really deserve to be a graduate of Lu School." Hahahaha! ”

"Aren't seniors too?"

The two of them laughed on the phone for a while, and Mu Tiankou made a decision, "Order the exercise troops, move to Xiwulidian between Fengtai and Wanping to standby, Yimu-kun, you leave a garrison team to stay in Fengtai, and the others all carry live ammunition and go to Xiwulidian to meet the troops." ”

"Yes."

Put down the phone, the two acted at the same time, the Fengtai garrison camp immediately became noisy, the soldiers who had fallen asleep were all called, a brigade with a total number of nearly 600 people, the number of fighters was 480 people, leaving a team of 80 people as a guard, and the others were all issued live ammunition, led by Yimu Qingzhi, and went straight to Xiwulidian.

On the Beiping side, Mutaguchi dialed the phone, and the other party was Matsui Taikuro, the head of the Beiping secret service, who explained the situation and the preparations for the initial response, and finally said: "The contemptible people think that the missing Shimura-kun must have been captured by the Chinese side." In the face of repeated provocations by the Chinese side, the Imperial State could not bear to be disturbed, and hoped that Matsui-kun would be able to carry out solemn negotiations with the Chinese side. At the same time, our troops were allowed to enter the city to search. ”

Matsui is a moderate faction, although he is not afraid of negotiations, but the military's request to enter the city to search, he is very unimpressed, this is China after all, and the attitude of the Chinese defenders towards the Japanese side is becoming more and more angry. Of course, Matsui knew that this was all under the influence of those Blue Coat Society and the Communist Party, and it was gradually condensed. Thinking of this, he was angry, Song Mingxuan was incompetent, Pan Yansheng was cowardly, he had negotiated with them many times, demanding severe punishment of the Communist Party and the dissolution of the Blue Coat Society, but they just couldn't do it? There is no hope for the people of China!

He thought for a while and said, "I will negotiate with the Chinese side, but if you want to enter the city to search, please ask Your Excellency to suspend your action." ”

"Good. Then I'll leave everything to Matsui-kun. But if the Chinese side still ignores our demands, the imperial army will do whatever it takes to retaliate. ”

"Of course, of course." Matsui really can't afford to provoke these people, don't say it's him, in the 226 incident, didn't even the Minister of the Interior, the Minister of Education, and the Minister of Finance be killed? Anger these people, they can do anything! He looked at the time, it was already early morning on July 8, grabbed the phone again, dialed the number, this time to call the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Jicha Political Affairs Committee, and it was Wei Hailou who answered the phone.

Wei Hailou is a native of Jinmen, a student of Duan Qirui, who served as a division commander back then, and now serves as a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, when he received a phone call from Matsui full of roaring tones, he nodded again and again in fright, "Please rest assured, I will contact Mayor Shaowen immediately, promise a thorough investigation, and promise to give your army a clear answer." Putting down the phone, Wei Hailou wiped a cold sweat and scolded the quiet phone: "CNM!" You're more horizontal than a bald-tailed dog! There is a kind of shouting between you and Qin Dechun and Song Zheyuan? CNM's Little Japan! ”

*************************************************************

Qin Dechun, deputy commander of the 29th Army and mayor of Beiping, soon received a call from Wei Hailou, he had already fallen asleep, he was woken up by the secretary, rubbing his eyes, his tone was dissatisfied, and he muttered and took the earpiece, "I am Qin Dechun." ”

Wei Hailou copied the loud voice of Jinmen, and told the story again, Qin Dechun's sleepiness flew away all of a sudden, and he asked about it, Wei Hailou didn't know the specific situation, and he couldn't say it clearly, Qin Dechun put down the phone, and dialed the Nanyuan military camp again, and asked Tong Linge about the situation. In this way, it was called down one by one, and at half past three in the morning, Dai Xiaodian received a call from Jin Zhenzhong.

Kim Jin-jung first asked, "Did the soldiers in the city shoot tonight?" Did you go out of town? Did you catch a Japanese soldier participating in the exercise? ”

"No, I can assure you that if you find out I'm lying in the future, you'll shoot me."

"Okay." Jin Zhenzhong said no more, hung up the phone, and began to report upwards one by one.

Dai Xiaodian opened his red eyes and looked at the quiet phone call blankly, he really couldn't hide from it? I just don't know, who is shooting at the Japanese in the dark? This is already a question that has plagued countless people, and even in the later generations when information was highly developed, this question has never been answered.

He looked at the clock, it was almost four o'clock, he quickly got up, pushed open the door, before he was ambushed, the air in the early morning was a little cool, the surroundings were quiet, he did not bring his entourage, put the pistol in the holster, and went directly to the West Gate Tower. Immediately, the murmur of the guards sounded in the darkness, "Who? ”

"It's me." Dai Xiaodian took a flashlight and shone it over, it was Shi Seventeen, carrying the middle formal on his back, standing upright and saluting, "Good company commander." ”

"Something may happen tonight, call the brothers in the class together."

"Yes." Shi Qiqi turned his head to greet, and after a while, the soldiers of the 14 city defense squads gathered, "Brothers, I just received a call from the battalion commander that something went wrong with the Japanese exercise troops......

He hastily explained and said: "Our task is to hold on to Wanping City, and no one is allowed to enter the city without an order to go to the peak, especially the Japanese." Do you understand everything? ”

"Understood!" The 14 fighters chanted in unison.

"That's it, heighten your vigilance."
