Two days later, at about ten o'clock in the morning, Xiao Zhange was wielding a shovel to dig the soil, and Jin Chunlin called him, saying that Ma Xiaotang had something to discuss with him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At Xiao Zhange's suggestion, the number of guards was increased to two, and he and Ma Xiaotang had to keep one person on the ground at all times. Xiao Zhange climbed out of the tunnel, Ma Xiaotang was waiting there, and pointed in the direction of the Japanese barracks. Xiao Zhange looked over and saw a group of people wearing khaki military uniforms and big-brimmed hats driving the carriage and coming out of the Japanese barracks, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Puppet army?" ”

"Jidong Security Team."

Xiao Zhange was stunned.

"The traitor team made up by Yin Rugeng."

Yin Rugeng, Xiao Zhange had heard of it when he was in the recruit camp of the 38th Division, he pulled his earlobe with his right hand and asked, "These bastards are pulling arms?" "The more arms the better, he thought that Ma Xiaotang was tempted by this batch of arms.

"There's someone in there I know."

"Who?" Xiao Zhange's interest became even stronger.

"Zhang Qingyu, the captain of the first corps of the Jidong Security Team. If he was willing to help, it would have been much easier to get the weapons out. ”

"Is this man reliable?"

"It's a man."

Xiao Zhange was not very satisfied with Ma Xiaotang's evaluation, he thought for a while and said, "I don't know about him, if you think he is really trustworthy, you can do this...... Do you think he is willing to accept this grievance? ”

"He has a good personal relationship with Master Zhang, and he should be able to do it."

"Not should, but must. You're not me, I'm alone, and if something happens, I'll leave at most. You, especially you, will definitely implicate Master Zhang if something happens. ”

Ma Xiaotang's eyes shrank and said, "Don't worry, I have this awareness." If something happens, I'm not going to give them a chance to catch them alive—"

The matter was decided, Xiao Zhange continued to dig tunnels, and Ma Xiaotang began to think about how to talk to Zhang Qingyu.

Three days later, when Ma Xiaotang rushed back to the grove and said that he had communicated with Zhang Qingyu, at eight o'clock in the evening, Xiao Zhange opened the exit.

It is not difficult to determine the location of the exit of the tunnel, and in the Japanese gun repair shop, there are two machine tools powered by gasoline engines, and the vibration emitted by the gasoline engine when it is running is the best guide.

Which equipment is worth transporting must and can only be judged by Xiao Zhange. Xiao Zhange was the first to go up, he took advantage of a flashlight provided by Ma Xiaotang, walked around the gun repair shop, and then pulled out a handful of white cloth strips from his body, tied them to the equipment he liked, and whispered: "Brothers, the strips of cloth are removed first, and before four o'clock in the morning tomorrow, we must ensure that these machines are transported out of the tunnel." Time is precious, let's go! ”

At half past nine, Xiao Zhange and the others were sweating profusely one by one, when suddenly, a sharp whistle came. Everyone was startled, and subconsciously hid their bodies next to the machine. Seconds later, a strong column of searchlight swept past the windows of the repair shop, and after a while, the cries of devils and the stumble of footsteps rang out.

"What's going on?" Someone asked in a low voice, and then was immediately reprimanded by his comrades-in-arms: "Don't speak!" ”

Ma Xiaotang moved to Xiao Zhange's side and asked, "Zhange, what should I do?" ”

Xiao Zhange's mind was racing, and the first thing that came to mind was that the theft of the arsenal of the garrison was finally exposed, and the devils here were ordered to start strengthening their vigilance. But on second thought, if that's the reason, it can only be during the day. Because who's going to inspect the arsenal in the middle of the night? If that's not the reason? Is it a night exercise? He had been in the arsenal of the garrison for a long time, so he knew that the daily training of the little devils was very strict, and there was a precedent of urgently gathering at night for training.

"Will it be a night exercise?" He spoke his guesses.

Ma Xiaotang felt justified when he heard this, and said, "Then let's wait for them to finish their training." ”

It's not a stretch. Xiao Zhange hid under a window, and saw that the devils flocked to the arms warehouse in the northeast of the repair station, first surrounded the arms warehouse on the inside and outside, and then opened the warehouse door, and carefully went in to check, he knew that the incident had happened in Tianjin.

That is, Luanxian is a little far away from Tianjin, otherwise, Xiao Zhange may be able to hear the violent explosion of the "cannon battle" he designed.

The exact time when the "cannon battle" was detonated was 8:36 p.m. At this time, it was exactly four hours before Kenji Dohihara and Hashimoto Qun, chief of staff of the garrison, returned to Tianjin.

Tsuchihara and Hashimoto chose to rush to Tianjin at this time because Tsuchihara had just received news from China that Emperor Hirohito had signed the report on the promotion of the garrison and the appointment of Tada Jun.

The Chinese garrison was officially renamed the Huabei garrison, and the commander was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general and appointed by Hirohito himself—a crucial step taken by Japan in launching a full-scale war of aggression against China.

In Japan, it was the Japanese military headquarters that contributed to the promotion of the status of the garrison and the appointment of Tada. In the case of a series of accidents in the garrison and the successive dismissal of three junior officers, the Japanese military headquarters also tried its best to promote this incident, and the main reason was of course related to the all-out invasion of China that the Japanese had secretly planned for many years. Besides, they were disappointed in Tada, and when they couldn't catch him at obvious fault, they decided to simply transfer him away.

In this promotion of the status of the garrison, as well as a series of personnel appointments, Hashimoto was also a beneficiary. Not only was his military rank promoted by one level, but he was also changed from a large sa to a major general. Moreover, because the new commander, Wanichiro Tashiro, is still hospitalized, in fact, for a certain period of time, he will be the de facto supreme commander of the garrison. It definitely has something to do with this, and after Hashimoto rushed back to Haiguang Temple, he began to fully intervene in the daily work of the garrison without waiting for the appointment letter from the military department.

Hashimoto's group behaved in a hurry, and it is said that Tada should be angry. But because he is also a vested interest, and he has long been physically and mentally exhausted, he simply let go completely and let the Hashimoto group toss.

At about eight o'clock, Tada Jun and Kenji Dohihara were drinking tea and playing Go, when his adjutant walked in and whispered to him, "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff Hashimoto suspects that there is something else hidden in Sasaki's second arms robbery, so he has taken someone to the arsenal." ”

The Japanese military department made a painful decision to solve the problem of the future status of the garrison and the personnel appointment of Tada Jun and others in a quick way to cut through the chaos, which was also good news for Xiao Zhange. If the Japanese had diligently probed into his arrangement that night, they would still be able to find some clues. The Japanese army had strict military discipline and had its own rules and regulations for the management of weapons and equipment. The big cover he got out of the arsenal became a very big loophole.

"Let him go, the new official will take office three fires, I can understand," Tada said, and then waved his hand to let the adjutant leave.
