Chairman Jiang nodded frequently and said, "This summer dynasty is not simple, and it is worthy of being my student." However, the name of his special combat team is not good and not atmospheric enough. ”
Chen Cheng said: "When they come back, please give them a name in person." That is also their glory. ”
Chairman Jiang was in a good mood and nodded in agreement. Moreover, Chairman Chiang decided that when Zhang Zizhong and others completed the mutiny, he would personally vindicate Zhang Zizhong's grievances.
Chen Cheng took a document that Chen Shuming had sorted out in the summer and said: "The summer court went to Beiping for them, and also seized some documents. ”
Of course, this compilation table was also plagiarized by Xia Chao according to the trend of history.
Chairman Chiang was very interested, he took it and flipped through it, and said: "Well, this is of great value, and it is very helpful for the Military Commission to study the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. This summer is indeed good, and it should be rewarded for this merit. ”
Chen Cheng said: "Chairman Yingming, you have a discerning eye and have already rewarded him in advance, or did you personally promote him from a cadet to a major, and there is no need to reward him again." ”
Chen Cheng is well-intentioned, Xia Chao is a major at the age of 20, and many officers are 30 years old, and they are still captains, and being promoted too quickly is not conducive to his growth.
Chairman Jiang nodded and said, "Yes, we must cultivate it well in the future." ”
Secret Service of the Renaissance Society.
Yesterday, Dai Li heard that Chairman Chiang was very angry with Zhang Zizhong's rebellion, so he decided to plan an assassination attempt to get rid of Zhang Zizhong on behalf of Chairman Chiang. At this time, Dai Li's status in the national government was not high, and his military rank was only a colonel. He was in a hurry to show himself, so he decided to assassinate Zhang Zizhong to show his face.
However, he also found it tricky. In recent years, Beiping has been the territory of the 29th Army, and the strength of the Fuxing Society in Beiping is very small, with only a team of less than 20 people led by station commander Li Hongguang, of whom less than 10 can carry out armed actions. Relying on them may not be able to accomplish the task.
He suddenly remembered the demon of Xia Chao, and he knew that Xia Chao had already led the team to Beiping. So, he decided to contact Xia Chao and asked him to assist the Beiping Station of the Fuxing Society to complete the assassination of Zhang Zizhong.
At this moment, Zheng Lanni from the Investigation Department of Nanjing Station asked to see her. Dai Li knew about her relationship with Xia Chao, so he met her.
Zheng Lanni saw Dai Li, stood up and saluted, and reported: "My subordinates received a telegram from Beiping from Xia Chao, and the stationmaster Li Han ordered me to report directly to you. ”
Dai Li nodded and said, "Okay, in the future, you can contact me directly, and I will inform your stationmaster when I go back." What about telegrams? ”
Zheng Lanni hurriedly handed over the message.
Xia Chao said in the telegram:
1. Zhang Zizhong is not a traitor, please Boss Dai not order him to be hunted down, the matter has been reported to Chairman Jiang, you can verify with the Military Commission.
2. In order to confuse the Japanese army, I will carry out a fake assassination of Zhang Zizhong in the name of the Fuxing Society, so as to deceive the trust of the Japanese army.
3. Please order the Beiping Station of the Fuxing Society to contact me and cooperate with the action. After returning to Ningcheng, the younger brother thanked him in person.
Signature: Junior Brother Summer Dynasty.
Dai Li, an extremely bold and cautious person, immediately dialed the phone of Wang Shihe of the Military Commission and confirmed the message of the Xia Dynasty.
Dai Li smiled, this just solved his problem, and he instructed Zheng Lanni to send a telegram back to Xia Chao, and everything should be handled according to his advice.
In addition, Kutaro Matsui and Takeo Imai returned to the Central Hotel and reported the meeting with Zhang Zizhong to the division commander Kishifumi Saburokawa.
When Kishi Saburokawa heard that Zhang Zhizhong had signed a declaration of secession from the central government, he was very satisfied, and he was also able to accept Zhang Zizhong's conditions, but he kept an eye on them, and he instructed the two spies to inform newspapers and other news organizations that they must publish the news of Zhang Zizhong's surrender to the Japanese Imperial Army tomorrow morning, thus completely cutting off Zhang Zizhong's back route. The transfer of troops of the 29th Army in Beiping City will take place tomorrow afternoon.
Early the next morning, a burst of gunfire rang out in the dormitory of the Beiping City Government. In Zhang Zizhong's bedroom, he said to Zhao Dengyu: "Brother, come on." Zhao Dengyu gritted his teeth and fired a shot at Zhang Zizhong.
Soon after, Kishibun Saburokawa and others received a report that Zhang Zizhong had been assassinated not long ago, and Zhang Zizhong had been wounded in the left arm.
Kutaro Matsui and Takeo Imai went to the scene in person, and according to analysis, it was someone from the Hokuhira Station of the Fuxing Society who did it. Kutaro Matsui and Takeo Imai visited Zhang Zizhong.
In order to ensure Zhang Zizhong's safety and facilitate the control of the troops, Kawagishi Bunzaburo decided to transfer more than 7,200 troops of the 29th Army and the Security Brigade in Beiping City to the original 29th Army headquarters in Nanyuan according to Zhang Zizhong's plan.
At this time, the Japanese troops stationed in Nanyuan were the two remaining brigades of the 78th Wing of the 20th Division and a supply depot of the Riverside Brigade, with a total strength of more than 2,800 people.
In order to ensure the smooth arrival of the troops of the 29th Army in Nanyuan, Kawagishi Bunzaburo sent the main force of the 77th Wing to press the formation behind the troops of the 29th Army.
At 7 o'clock that night, all the troops marched into the barracks of the 29th Army Headquarters in Nanyuan.
The 77th Wing temporarily stayed near the north gate of Nanyuan and waited for news from Kutaro Matsui and Takeo Imai.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Zizhong convened a meeting of officers at and above the company level. In the wing room of the conference room, Kutaro Matsui and Takeo Imai waited for the results of Zhang Zizhong's meeting with 50 Japanese soldiers.
More than 80 officers attended the meeting. Zhang Zizhong said: "Brothers, I, Zhang Zizhong, am an old man of the 29th Army, and all of you are familiar with me, and the situation you are facing is also clear to everyone. I have a few heartfelt words that I would like to share with you. ”
No one in the audience said anything.
Zhang Zizhong said: "Fighting with the Japanese, I, Zhang Zizhong, am not a bad breed, but I don't want to fight with the Japanese now." Because there is no value.
Since our Northwest Army was subordinated to the central government, Chairman Chiang has never looked at us squarely, and our salaries, provisions, and ammunition have hardly been replenished. Our 29th Army has experienced all kinds of anti-Japanese wars and suffered heavy losses, and the central government has turned a blind eye to us. Sooner or later, the Northwest Army will be annexed by the central government.
This time, even Commander Song abandoned us, and the large army withdrew, leaving us in Beiping and besieged, clearly sending us to death.
I, Zhang Zizhong, were not afraid of death, but I didn't want to die like this, so I decided to leave the central government and defect to the Japanese. As you know, I have friends at the top level in Japan, and I will definitely find a good way out for everyone. The Japanese have already agreed, and the newly formed First Army will be expanded into three divisions with your three units as the backbone. You all have a bright future. ”
After Zhang Zizhong finished speaking, the officers talked a lot. In fact, the officers above the battalion level have already passed the gas in advance. For the sake of secrecy, even the following officers did not tell them.
At this time, a company commander stood up and said, "Zhang Zizhong, you are a fucking traitor." Lao Tzu would rather die than surrender to the devil. ”
Zhang Zizhong's face pulled down and shouted, "Come on, arrest him." Several guards stepped forward and held him down.
Zhang Zizhong pulled out his pistol and aimed it at his head to shoot him.
