......

The purpose of He Yingqin's trip was, of course, to bring the northern anti-Japanese army under the control of the government.

It's a pity that Feng Tian is not very interested in the so-called rank of general, so naturally there is no way to talk about it, and let the northern anti-Japanese military government obey the jurisdiction of the Republic of China government.

If it is a small warlord who has just risen and a general's letter of appointment, then he is not grateful to Dade and takes this olive branch in a panic.

On this trip, He Yingqin was not without a little gain.

At least Feng Tian showed his attitude that he would not oppose the government of the Republic of China and try to oppose the government, or even seek political power, the Northern Anti-Japanese Army would maintain the Republic of China government on the surface, and the Northern Anti-Japanese Army would fight against Japan wholeheartedly and did not want to care about other things.

It's one thing to believe it or not, since Feng Tian dares to swear that he will say these words, and turn around and let the media render it, it can be regarded as adding a tightening spell to him.

And the media resources controlled by the government, this is the advantage, as long as it is not out of line, and the text is slightly exaggerated, you see if Feng Tian dares to regret it.

He Yingqin would not believe what Feng Tian said, and he would regret it when he turned around.

Don't look at the fame now, the Fengtian War of Resistance has made Fengtian's name synonymous with heroes. Once you break your promise, your reputation will be ruined, and your reputation will be ruined.

Feng Tian left He Yingqin's impression that this guy is very capable of fighting, which has been confirmed.

However, this person is a political idiot.

It should be said that this kind of person who seals the sky will not pose much of a threat to the regime of the Republic of China.

Therefore, He Yingqin's trip was not too successful, and the situation was not too bad.

This is a helpless ending, who let the government not resist the Japanese?

Leaving a female spy Wu Huamei, He Yingqin and his party took a train to Hebei.

The trip to the north was not He Yingqin's focus, he just stopped by to send a letter of appointment.

A letter of appointment like this, the government of the Republic of China can print it at will, as long as you are valuable, is it okay to appoint a general?

Otherwise, everyone wants to be orthodox and compete for the right to rule, and there are many ways to do this.

The government has a lot of resources at its disposal, and even if you were originally a grasshopper, you will be transformed into a golden light.

He Yingqin is going to Hebei, and Zhang Xueliang is the focus of this trip.

At the beginning, the government of the Republic of China hoped that Zhang Xueliang would stick to Jinzhou.

Because, the location of Jinzhou is too important, Jinzhou is lost, and behind it is the Liaoxi Corridor, which goes straight to Shanhaiguan.

However, the idea in Zhang Xue's conscience seemed to be inconsistent with the central government, and it was so simple for the Japanese Kwantung Army to seize the strategic location of Jinzhou.

This kind of result really makes the government of the Republic of China speechless, but you have a lot of troops in your hands, is it possible to become an ornament?

To be honest, the government of the Republic of China is a little anxious.

According to Zhang Xueliang's actions, the next step, Shanhaiguan may not be good, if the Japanese really approach Hebei, it will be a big trouble.

The situation is serious, and the Northeast Army can no longer retreat.

The national government has their own ideas, and Zhang Xueliang also has his own ideas.

Hey, if you let me resist, I will definitely fight to the death with the Japanese army and fight the Northeast Army, what am I?

Zhang Xueliang understood in his heart that Lao Chiang's purpose was nothing more than to let the Northeast Army fight hard with the Japanese army.

Not only Lao Jiang, but also the domestic warlords have their own calculations, and they must learn the trick of the praying mantis fluttering the cicada and the yellow finch behind, or let the front waves die on the beach.

As for the national righteousness, hehe, don't overestimate their consciousness. They sit in too high a position, and considering things may not necessarily put the national interests in the first place.

Nothing is as important as the power in their hands, if it threatens their position, do you think these people will resist the Japanese?

Zhang Xueliang kept a close eye on the Nationalist Government, and if he wanted to resist the war, then the whole country would fight together, and he couldn't just let the Northeast Army fight alone.

However, Lao Jiang was stunned and pretended to be deaf and dumb, and shouted the slogan that if you go outside must first be inside, it seems to be justified and reasonable.

The implication is that you see that I have more important things to deal with here, you fight first, and when I doom the bandits, I will free up my hands to support the Northeast Army in the war of resistance.

It's a pity that Zhang Xueliang didn't get on the trap and withdrew his troops from Jinzhou.

In this way, these two sides played tricks on each other, fought wits and courage, and even ignored the interests of the country and the nation, and allowed small Japan to encroach on Chinese territory, and one of the three eastern provinces, which is equivalent to one Japanese state, was thus encroached upon.

Historically, there is no such precedent in China, I don't know.

But now this tragedy is happening.

Japan prepared for war with the whole country in preparation for a full-scale invasion of China.

But the Nationalist Government is still dreaming, looking for the League of Nations to reason.

It is certainly useless to reason with the League of Nations, and the Japanese will not withdraw their troops because of the League of Nations' right moves, and I believe that Chairman Chiang understands this simple truth very well in his heart, and the old Chiang has his own calculations.

If not to mention Lao Jiang's final defeat, the pattern is really smaller.

Originally, launching the whole country to fight together was the best opportunity for Chairman Chiang, and if the great righteousness was used well, he would be invincible.

It's a pity that a good chess game was abandoned.

Not only that, but he was also keen to continue the civil war at home, and the right to be a foreign enemy did not invade.

The Japanese occupied Jinzhou, and it was necessary for the government of the Republic of China to consult with Zhang Xueliang, and the Japanese army was pressing forward step by step, and the land of Hebei was close at hand.

Although Feng Tian reminded He Yingqin that the Japanese might make trouble in the commercial sea, He Yingqin did not pay much attention to this matter, and only paid attention to the relevant government departments and Dai Li's secret services.

On the morning of January 18, 1932, Yoshiko Kawashima, dressed in men's clothes, mingled with several Nichiren monks and believers in Japan.

"Jin Bihui, seeing that your face is unhappy, who made you unhappy?"

"Don't mention it, the day before yesterday, I passed by Sanyou Industrial Society, and several people from Zhina saw that I was alone, and they insulted me, and they couldn't beat them, so they had to flee in disgrace, which really me off."

"Bag, how unreasonable! The people of China also dare to be rampant, and I will give you this breath today. ”

In order to get Kawashima Yoshiko back, two Japanese Nichiren sectarians and three Japanese believers went to the Sanyou Industrial Society Headquarters on Mayushan Road, Huajie, adjacent to the eastern district of the Shanghai Public Concession (Yangshupu).

During this period, the Japanese were very rampant in the commercial sea and looked down on the Chinese at all. Outside the factory, these five people saw that the workers in the factory were practicing, so they threw stones to provoke.

"The little devil owes a beating, a beating."

The actions of the five Japanese angered the workers in the field, and several grumpy people fought back, causing many passers-by to watch the excitement.

Before this, Yoshiko Kawashima had already ******** disguised as a worker to blend in with the lively crowd, and took this opportunity to join the battle group, and a quarrel turned into a group fight.

In this conflict, five Japanese people were attacked by unknown persons, one was killed and one was seriously injured, but the police did not succeed in arresting the prisoners, so Japan accused the attack of Chinese factory pickets. This is the so-called "Japanese monk incident".

At about 2 o'clock in the morning on January 20, dozens of members of the Overseas Japanese Youth Comrades Association set fire to the Sanyou Industrial Society at night, hacked to death one and injured two Chinese from the Ministry of Industry Bureau who came to organize the firefighting.

In the afternoon of the same day, Takayoshi Tanaka instigated 1,200 Japanese expatriates to rally at the Japanese Resident Corps on Tanggu Road and march along the North Sichuan Road to the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters at the northern end of the road to demand that the Japanese Marines intervene.

On the way, when the group came to the vicinity of Qiujiang Road, they began to riot and attacked Chinese shops.

Fengtian's prompt did not attract He Yingqin's attention, but only asked Dai Li to pay attention to the latest developments in Shanghai.

The riots caused by some Japanese expatriates did not deserve too much attention from Dai Li, and Shanghai was responsible for dealing with them in the early stages of the incident.

Since the capture of Jinzhou, most of the northeast has been in the hands of the Japanese, although Mukden Province has been deserted except for the seaside land. However, there are still a lot of people in Jilin.

If the land acquired is directly classified as Japanese territory, this will obviously not work, and it will attract the attention of world public opinion.

As a result, the Japanese resorted to the method of grafting flowers and trees, hoping to cultivate agents.

The best candidate, of course, is the former emperor of the previous dynasty.

However, this act was also widely opposed by the international community, represented by the League of Nations.

Therefore, in order to divert the attention of the international community, the Japanese decided to create an incident in Shanghai, an international metropolis, and draw people's attention from the northeastern occupation zone to Shanghai.

The decision-makers who planned this conspiracy were high-end, and in addition to the senior staff officer of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Seishiro Itagaki Osa, even the "Club of Eleven" of Emperor Hirohito's civilian party in Tokyo was involved.

The task of picking quarrels and provoking troubles was entrusted to Yoshiko Kawashima, a famous female spy in history, who planned to detonate the riots in the commercial sea, so as to facilitate the relevant Japanese departments to fish in troubled waters and make the incident bigger.

This kind of provoking trouble is really not difficult for Yoshiko Kawashima, a female spy, and a little bit of means is used to make the situation out of control.

In order to expand the incident, the Japanese Consul General in Shanghai, Murai Kuramatsu, on January 21, asked the mayor of Shanghai, Wu Tiecheng, to promise to arrest the murderer who burned the Sanyou Industrial Society, and at the same time put forward four unreasonable tough demands: 1. The mayor of Shanghai made a public apology for the incident of the Japanese monks; 2. Arrest and punish the perpetrators; 3. Make financial compensation to the victims; 4. Ban and dissolve all anti-Japanese organizations and groups in the Shanghai Sea, headed by the Anti-Japanese Salvation Association.

On January 22, 1932, Koichi Shiozawa, commander of the 1st Japanese Foreign Fleet stationed in the Shokai, issued a threatening statement, claiming that the Japanese Navy would take "appropriate action" if the mayor of the Shokai did not give a satisfactory answer to Matsui's four-point request.

After the "Japanese Monk Incident," the Japanese navy first dispatched troops to Shanghai on the pretext of protecting overseas Chinese. In addition to the warships that arrived in the Shohai Sea one after another after the "18 September" incident, the Japanese Navy dispatched the cruiser "Oi" and four destroyers belonging to the 15th Destroyer Group from Kure Harbor on 21 January, carrying more than 450 men of the 1st Special Marine Squadron and a large amount of munitions, and arrived in the Shohai on 23 January.

On the 24th, the special service ship "Noto Lu" (aircraft carrier, 14,000 tons, 6 aircraft) anchored in Port Arthur also arrived in Shanghai.

On January 22, the Japanese government held a meeting and "decided to take appropriate measures to dispose of it by the Okaku Cen Sheng Marine Camera."

On the 26th, the Navy Ministry convened a meeting at the highest level and "decided to exert its strength within one or two days by the following methods: (1) If the number of troops stationed in Shanghai is insufficient, the Second Fleet may be dispatched, (2) the protection of the Japanese overseas Chinese in Shanghai on the spot, (3) the route from Wusong to the Shanghai Sea will be protected by the Japanese Navy, (4) all Chinese steamers will be detained outside the mouth of Wusong, and (5) additional warships will be sent to Nanjing, Hankou, Guangzhou, Shantou, Xiamen, and other ports, and the ronin will be revolted at the same time. The military operations of the Japanese navy were approved and approved by Emperor Hirohito, and on the 26th, the Supreme Military Council of Hirohito, under the chairmanship of Prince Zaihito Miyaji, the chief of staff, instructed Shiozawa Koichi in the Sea to "exercise the right of self-defense." On the same day (26th), the Japanese Ministry of the Navy ordered the 1st Mine Squadron (the flagship cruiser "Yubari" led the 22nd, 23rd, and 30th destroyers, with a total of 12 destroyers) from within Japan, carrying more than 460 men of the 2nd Special Marine Corps to Shanghai, and arrived on the afternoon of the 28th.

So far, the Japanese army has assembled 24 warships, more than 20 aircraft, more than 1,830 marines and 3,000 or 4,000 armed Japanese overseas Chinese in Shanghai, distributed in the Japanese concession and on the Huangpu River.

On January 24, 1932, the Japanese secret service sent people to set fire to the residence of the Japanese minister to China, Shigemitsu Aoi, in Shanghai, falsely claiming that it was done by the Chinese. On the 27th, Murai issued an ultimatum to the Shanghai authorities, giving a satisfactory reply to the four demands by 6 p.m. on the 28th, otherwise necessary action would be taken.

On 28 January, the Japanese Ministry of the Navy ordered the aircraft carriers "Kaga" and "Hosho," three cruisers "Naka," "Yura," and "Abukuma," and four mine ships to depart from the mainland for the merchant sea.

At 11:30 p.m. on January 28, 1932, the Japanese marines under the command of Major General Shiozawa suddenly launched an attack on the Chinese garrison on the west side of the North Sichuan Road. At this time, the Japanese army, with more than 20 ironclad vehicles as the lead, divided the troops into five routes, and launched an attack from various intersections in Zhabei.

After receiving the report of the Japanese attack, the headquarters of the 19th Route Army rushed to Zhenru Station on foot at night with Jiang Guangnai, Cai Tingkai, and Dai Ji Xingye, set up a temporary command center, and ordered the rear troops to quickly advance to Shanghai according to the original deployment.

After dawn on the 29th, under the cover of armored vehicles, the Japanese army launched a series of fierce attacks, and Japanese planes also took off from the aircraft carrier "Notoro" and bombed the areas around Zhabei and Nanshi indiscriminately, and the war spread rapidly.

The headquarters of the 156th Brigade of the defending army stubbornly resisted the Japanese attack, used cluster grenades against the Japanese armored vehicles, organized death squads to blow up the enemy's armored vehicles by hidden means, held every position, and counterattacked the enemy in a timely manner under the cover of artillery fire, repelling the continuous attacks of the Japanese army.

As a result, the big Shanghai, which was originally far away from the battlefield and was peaceful with singing and dancing, was filled with gunsmoke in the blink of an eye, igniting the flames of war, and the streets were on fire everywhere, the flames were all over the sky, and the battlefield was extremely miserable.

Despite the warning of the closure of the sky in advance, the 128 incident finally broke out in Shanghai......

PS: The article mentions the 128 incident, and some readers think that it is a patchwork, which is misunderstood, and it is impossible to depart from the original history when writing a historical essay, and several major historical events must be explained. One thing can be guaranteed, this book will not spend pen and ink on these time, and when the time comes, I will explain it in the article, while ensuring the coherence of history. I also ask for your understanding. (To be continued.) )
