Seeing the corpse of Mori Yutoku Mitsu Daisa, all the luck in Lieutenant General Suematsu Shigeharu was shattered. After a brief inspection, I saw that Sen Yude was neatly dressed, and there was no gunshot wound or knife wound on his body, but his neck was twisted.

Next, Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsu went non-stop, from the pilot's quarters to the ground crews and the airport guard troops' quarters, pushing the doors one by one to check, until the troops who went to check the situation of the anti-aircraft fire positions and the bunkers around the barbed wire fence of the airport came to report that all the jade was broken, and the soldiers either died from daggers or pistol bullets.

Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsu came to four conclusions: first, the fact that the people at the airport did not find any traces of struggle before they died, indicating that they were familiar with the sneak attackers or trusted the sneak attackers, and they were suddenly attacked without any precautions and had no time to resist; The second is that the troops of the Eighth Route Army that attacked this sneak attack were extremely powerful, and their methods were clean and neat, all of them were killed with one shot or one knife, and no corpse of a soldier with two knives or two bullets was found; The third is that the sneak attackers were unusually well-equipped, killed so many people, and also opened fire, but the guards outside the airport did not hear the gunshots, indicating that they were equipped with advanced silencers. Fourth, the actions of the sneak attackers were carefully planned, and judging from the cars and motorcycles left at the scene, they swaggered into the airport. Although there are no clues to prove in what capacity they entered the airport, one thing is certain: their identities did not arouse suspicion among the airport guards. Moreover, their purpose was very clear, and their preparations were sufficient, that is, they rushed to the airplane and aviation ammunition at the airport, and they did not even move such a scarce supply as aviation gasoline. It's just that time is pressing, and they didn't have time to finish the aviation ammunition.

After coming to the four-point conclusion, Shigeharu Suematsu couldn't help but sigh: "This is really a group of bold, cunning, and extremely elite guys!" It seems that they are all veterans and masters. I can't figure out how the Eighth Route Army could have such elite troops. ”

Before Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsu's exclamation was finished, he heard a boom, as if something had exploded, and hurriedly raised his head to look around. This observation did not matter, so frightened that Suematsu Shigeharu shouted "Baga" and quickly lay down, it turned out that an explosion came from the direction of the ammunition depot, and the soldiers who were counting and searching the underground ammunition depot and the underground oil depot were running out in a swarm.

That explosion seemed to be a primer, and just as Shigeharu Suematsu had just finished lying down and crawled to the ground, the explosion of shaking the ground and shaking the mountains exploded above Shigeharu Suematsu's head like a thunderbolt.

Shells are flying, bullets are flying, oil drums are flying, the solid underground ammunition depot and underground oil depot are completely blown up in the violent explosion, and the sky over the airport is full of shrapnel, warheads, oil drum fragments, concrete fragments, brick fragments, piece by piece, smashed down, all of them have become murderous weapons, impermanence, chasing ghosts and howling wolves, turning them into powerful ghosts one by one, and pulling them to the refining fire of the eighteenth layer of hell to barbecue.

By the time the explosions stopped, Matoushan Airport was in ruins.

Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsu was lucky not to be injured. However, this lack of injury came at a cost, and two of his guards pounced on him as he lay down. At this moment, the two loyal guards had shrapnel stuck in their backs, and they had already returned to the East to report to Amaterasu.

After pushing away the corpses of the guards, struggling to stand up, looking at the devastated and ground-covered corpses and wounded soldiers, there were one wailing and cries after another in his ears, and then listening to the dull explosion from the direction of the camel mountain in the distance, Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsu was completely angry, and it took him a long time to pull out his command knife with a trembling hand, and howl in a wolf-like voice against the sky: "Amaterasu, look at your poor people! Show me the spirit, and let me find these vicious murderers and despicable sneak attackers, and cut them to pieces! ”

When he received a telegram from Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsu, commander of the 114th Division, Major General Kobayashi Asaburo, chief of staff of the 12th Army, was in a daze with the reconnaissance report of the air force.

According to the reports of the reconnaissance planes dispatched by Jinan and Qingdao airports, after careful searching, they did not find any parked planes at the Shilipu airport, and there were bodies of people dressed in imperial army uniforms on the airfield. The aircraft attempted to land at the airfield, but was stopped by machine-gun fire from the ground, and two reconnaissance aircraft were destroyed.

After reading the telegram, Major General Kobayashi Asaburo became a little demented, standing there with the telegram in his hand, his mind full of how could this be possible, could it be that His Excellency the Commander had just been in office for a few days? It's incredible.

It wasn't until the staff officer came to report with a telegram from Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsu that Kobayashi Asaburo woke up like a dream, rubbed his aching temples with his hands, pretended to be calm and calm, and asked, "Is there any emergency?" ”

The little staff officer snapped and stood upright: "Report to Your Excellency Chief of Staff: Lieutenant General Shigeji Suematsu, commander of the 114th Division, reported that Matoushan Airport and Camel Mountain Airport were secretly attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and after investigation, 60 fighters from the two airports disappeared, most of the aviation ammunition was transported away by Tuba Road, and all the pilots, ground staff and guards at the airport were shattered, and Tuba Road used a timing device to detonate the underground ammunition depot and oil depot, resulting in heavy casualties and more than 1,200 soldiers killed by the troops of the 114th Division who went to reinforce and search. ”

Kobayashi Asaburo could no longer pretend to be a calm and calm general, snatched the telegram with his hand, hurriedly skimmed through it, and let out a hysterical "baga", then pulled out the command knife and slashed wildly at the desk, until the blade sank into the solid wood of the desk and couldn't pull it out, Kobayashi Asaburo let go, sat on the ground with his ass, and muttered a series of cursed words in the slang such as damn dirt eight roads, cowards, and liars.

Tired of scolding, he stood up and patted the dust on his buttocks, and Kobayashi Asaburo's mood stabilized. Anyway, this battle still has to be fought, the commander is still saved, even if the body is found, the body has to be snatched back, right? If the life or body of His Excellency the Commander were allowed to fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, the Twelfth Army would be disgraced and home, and its future would probably be over.

Kobayashi Asaburo calmed down and ordered the staff officer to immediately relay the telegram sent by Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsu to Lieutenant General Toshitoshi Kinoshita, commander of the North China Front Headquarters and the North China Front Air Group, and immediately send a telegram to the base camp and the North China Front Headquarters, urging them to immediately give urgent tactical guidance, ordering Jinan Airport and Qingdao Airport to immediately take off fighter formations, blow up the Twenty-Lipu Airport to the sky, and be sure to blow up the Tuba Road of the sneak attack Commander Your Excellency, so as to completely shred them.

As soon as the little staff officer left, another staff officer hurriedly ran over to shout a report, and Kobayashi Asaburo said in his heart that there should be no more bad news. As a result, it turned out that the small staff officer presented a war report published by the National Axe of the People's Republic of China, which had just been intercepted, which said that the 18th Group Army of the [***] Brigade had captured Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo, the commander of the 12th Army, and would try him, and he would be sentenced to punishment, and representatives of various countries would be invited to observe the trial process.

At this time, Kobayashi Asaburo is completely crazy, since His Excellency the Commander did not die, but was captured by the Eighth Route Army, so what are you waiting for? Kobayashi Asaburo immediately issued a series of orders, and they were directly sent to the brigade level of the three divisions, including the 108th Division, the 33rd Division, and the Jiaoji Road Garrison, ordering them to take immediate action and launch an attack on the Twenty Lipu airfield, and be sure to rescue His Excellency the commander.

Kobayashi Asaburo is indeed an outstanding person, although he has been angry and angry, but he still maintains a trace of clarity, and ordered the staff officers to report his deployment to the headquarters and base camp of the North China Front at the same time, asking them to immediately study and judge the situation on the battlefield in Shandong and call back for guidance in time.

It's not that the headquarters and base camp of the North China Front didn't reply to Kobayashi Asaburo's telegram in time, but that they all had their own situations, and they were all busy!

Lieutenant General Naosaburo Gangbe, chief of staff of the North China Front Command, has been very busy lately, and the commander, General Terauchi Shouichi, is not there, but he is actually performing the duties of the supreme commander of the Chinese army in North China, and he is not only responsible for military affairs, but also has to consider political issues such as how to strengthen and consolidate public order and restore economic order in the occupied areas. These things are all strategic issues, and Terauchi Shouichi can't do it well, so let Naosaburo Gangbe do it, and it will be even more difficult for a strong man.

On the night of 7 November, after receiving a telegram from Commander Odaka Kamezo of the 12th Army, Naosaburo Okabe, relying on his own understanding of the operational laws of the instructors of the Eighth Route Army, immediately ordered Otaka Kamezo to concentrate the 108th Division and the 33rd Division together to form a heavy army group and hold on to it against all odds.

After sending the telegram, Naosaburo Gangbe was still not at ease, and sent another telegram asking whether the 12th Army had received his orders and whether they had carried them out. It wasn't until the headquarters of the 12th Army gave a clear reply that he had received the order and was determined to follow it, that Naosaburo Gangbe was relieved and went back to his bedroom to sleep.

There was something in his heart, and he couldn't sleep well, so he got up with his surname Naosaburo in his clothes, went to the war room and looked at the map repeatedly, thinking about how to mobilize troops and gather and annihilate Liu Yimin's troops in the Weixian area of Jiaoji Road.

This is not a delusion of Gangbe Naosaburo out of thin air, the reason is that after the victory of Taierzhuang, Gangbu Naosaburo was entrusted by Shouichi Terauchi to organize the North China Front Army Advance Command Post in Jinan and mobilize a large army to hold the Battle of Xuzhou, and he is very familiar with the terrain of Shandong. Later, when the army mobilized a large army to sweep Shandong and annihilate the main force of the instructor, Naosaburo Gangbu once commanded the army all the way to fight, went to the area of Luzhong, and personally inspected the terrain of the first line from Jinan to Qingdao Jiaoji Road, and knew it in his heart.

Naosaburo in the Gangbu wants to come, along the Jiaoji Road, a horse Pingchuan, Weixian city wall is strong and abnormal, there are so many German-style buildings and Yue-style buildings in Fangzi, and the Changle, Yidu, Linzi, and Zhangdian city defense facilities along the line have a certain foundation, although Liu Yimin's artillery is strong, as long as the 108th Division and the 33rd Division can quickly assemble troops, according to the strong city, no matter how powerful the Eighth Route Army is, it is impossible to attack the city defense overnight. As long as they can stay up until dawn every day, the aviation will blow up these cunning Eighth Route Army. This is not a mountainous area, and there is nothing to hide from the Tuba Road, and their unscrupulous attack on Jiaoji Road is tantamount to crashing into the fire network of the army air force themselves, and it is impossible not to die. As long as the main force of the imperial army ends the Wuhan Raid, it can immediately return to the north and annihilate Liu Yiming, who was stranded along the Jiaoji Road in Luzhong.

As for whether Qingdao will be attacked and occupied by the Eighth Route Army, Okabe Naosaburo also considered it, he wanted to hand over this issue to the navy to deal with, and let the navy dispatch a fleet from the Sasebo base to urgently reinforce Qingdao, as long as the fleet arrives in Qingdao, the strength of the marines can be greatly strengthened, and if necessary, the expatriates who arm Qingdao can also be mobilized to assist the defenders in defense, which should be able to support until the main force of the imperial army returns north.

After thinking about it, Naosaburo Gangbe personally drafted a proposal for launching the Battle of Jiaoji Road, and asked the radio station to send it to the base camp, and then went to take a nap.

When he got up in the morning, Naosaburo Gangbu had breakfast, told the staff officer on duty at the headquarters to pay close attention to the combat operations of the 12th Army and pay attention to receiving orders from the base camp, and then drove to attend a meeting of the alumni association chaired by the cultural Han soldiers who had participated in the symposium on the construction of Chinese culture in rehabilitation.

Under the instruction of General Shouichi Terauchi and organized by the Yue Ben Chao Yue News Agency, the Rehabilitation Chinese Culture Construction Forum was organized by the Yue Ming News Agency in the cloak of academic exchanges, with the aim of winning over a group of cultural Han annihilators, using the prestige of these cultural Han annihilations to help Yue himself invade China, and further, to culturally enslave the Chinese and destroy the cultural Taoism of the Chinese.

The first meeting of the Symposium on the Construction of Chinese Culture for Rehabilitation was held on 9 February, and in addition to Zhou Zuoren, Qian Daosun, and other cultural Han anniversaries, there were also senior spies under Xi Duocheng, an officer of the Yue Army and head of the special service of the North China Front Army, as well as Tang Erhe, chairman of the puppet North China Provisional Political Axe Committee and supervisor of the General Administration of Education, and Zhang Yanqing, vice president of the Xinmin Association, and other "important officials." Later, in April, the "Osaka Shimbun" publicly reported on the activities of the symposium on the construction of Chinese culture for rehabilitation, thus nailing Zhou Zuoren, Qian Daosun, and other cultural Han scholars to the pillar of shame in history.

The defection of Zhou Zuoren and Qian Daosun caused an uproar at the Chinese Cultural Festival. On 5 May, the Wuhan Association of Cultural Circles to Resist the Enemy sent a telegram to the cultural circles across the country, severely condemning Zhou Zuoren for "not hesitating to bury the name of the past, openly echoing the Japanese and betraying his personality", and "asking for the righteousness of the drums and attacking the righteousness, and declaring that Zhou Zuoren, Qian Daosun, and other Han annihilation who participated in the so-called 'Symposium on the Construction of Rehabilitated Chinese Culture' should be immediately expelled from our cultural circles as a sign of spiritual sanction." On May 14, 18 people, including Mao Dun, Yu Dafu, Lao She, Feng Naichao, Wang Pingling, Hu Feng, Hu Qiuyuan, Zhang Tianyi, and Ding Ling, published an "Open Letter to Zhou Zuoren" in the "Anti-Japanese War Literature and Art", pointing out: "Mr. Attendance at the 'Symposium on Chinese Culture for Rehabilitation'" and "It is really a betrayal of the nation and the hatred of the enemy. The poet Ai Qing also wrote a poem entitled "Repent, Zhou Zuoren", expressing the emotions of the younger generation: "Zhou Zuoren rebelled when the motherland was fighting hard (I accept this news with a burning heart)...... Zhou Zuoren, can't you think about the road you've come from?"

"You have guarded De Moklasi, you have attacked the political axe of the Beiyang warlords, you have fearlessly walked in the forefront of the ideological struggle, and the Chinese youth have never forgotten your name", "Repent, Zhou Zuoren!

Otherwise, the Chinese youth will shoot at you......"

How much anticipation, disappointment, pain and anger are filled in this trembling song!

The Symposium on the Construction of Chinese Culture in Rehabilitation was held, but it was only a meeting and did not form an organization. He remembered the alumni association organized by the former chairman of the North China Political Affairs Committee and Wang Yitang of the Han Dynasty, and wanted to use this alumni association to unite the cultural Han annihilators and serve the construction of the Great Eastern Holy War.

Even Gangbu Naosaburo himself didn't expect that as soon as his idea was proposed, it was immediately responded to by the cultural Han anniversaries in Beiping. In the past few days, due to the fierce offensive of the Japanese army in Wuhan and Guangzhou, these cultural Han annihilators could not sit still, and reported to the headquarters of the North China Front Army on several occasions, imploring His Excellency the Chief of Staff of the Gangbu Naosaburo to take time out of his busy schedule to attend their meetings and give important instructions.

Gangbe Naosaburo is now a veritable emperor in North China, and he is going to attend the meeting, and he attaches great importance to it from the top and bottom of the army to the big and small Han annihilation. No, the sedan in which Naosaburo Gangbu was riding had just arrived outside the gate of the venue under the escort of the guards, and the head of the secret service, Lieutenant General Kita Seiichi, the skinny Wang Kemin, Qi Kuiyuan, who was dressed in military uniform, Wang Yitang and Tang Erhe, who were white-bearded, Zhou Zuoren, who was in a long robe and short coat, and Qian Daosun, who was in a suit and leather shoes, all surrounded him, scrambling to open the door for Naosaburo Gangbu. provoked the guards of Naosaburo Okabe to shout loudly, and the bayonet was pushed all the way to the chests of those Han anniversaries, and the scum gave way slightly, making a way for Lieutenant General Kita Seiichi to step forward and open the car door.

Okabe Naosaburo is now accustomed to this kind of scene, and after getting off the car, he is not surprised, pretending to be kind, shaking hands with several Han Jian, and greeting each other, and keeps saying "I'm sorry for you", "Please take care of me" and other words with little salt and no vinegar, and walk to the venue while talking.

After arriving at the venue, Naosaburo Gangbe sat down on the main seat, and without waiting for Wang Yitang, who presided over the meeting, to introduce the agenda of the meeting and the participants in the meeting, Naosaburo Gangbu began to speak: "Ladies and gentlemen: I am honored to be invited to participate in today's meeting, most of the people here are students from the Great Empire, and they are the elites cultivated by the culture of this country. Culturally speaking, China and the two countries share the same roots and promote each other. The Chinese once created a splendid ancient culture, but now that China is lagging behind, and the culture of the Yue Ben is coming from behind, it is time to use the Yu culture to dominate Chinese culture and build a Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle integrating Manchu and Mongolia. ”
