Machijiri Hoshiyoshi was the chief of staff of the Second Army, so he was naturally not a mediocre hand. He ordered the headquarters guards to go to the door separately to inform the Jinan secret service, the gendarmerie, the police station, and Ma Liang, and he did the right thing. However, it is too late to do the right thing.

At this time, although Jinan City is the provincial capital, although it is also a big city in the country, but there is no way to compare with the scale of Jinan City in later generations, and the Second Army Guard Force is equipped with enough motorcycles, cars and war horses. However, Machijiri Hoshikishi, who answered the phone, was stunned, and after answering the phone, the microphone fell to the ground and he didn't know it, and the whole person became stupid.

Lieutenant General Tsukihiko of Higashiri Palace already knew from the sporadic words of Machijiri Hoshiyoshi who answered the phone that he was unlucky, and seeing that Machijiri Hoshiyoshi was a little stupid, he picked up the phone and asked the 35th Division to impose martial law in Jinan and quickly find out what had happened and how big the loss was.

After Lieutenant General Maeda rushed back to the city, he commanded the troops to quickly impose martial law in the city, control the situation, and check the situation at each explosion point, and then sent troops to various key organs to guard the city, so as to thoroughly find out what was going on in Jinan City.

By 10 a.m., the situation was basically clear. The headquarters of the Jinan secret service, the headquarters of the gendarmerie, the headquarters of the Jinan Military Judge Advocate Conference, and the police department of the puppet Shandong Public Office were all destroyed, and important files were stolen. The medical staff and wounded soldiers of the Second Military Hospital were all killed, the medicines were swept away, the doctors and nurses of several major hospitals such as the Shandong Hospital were all tied up, and all the wounded soldiers in the hospital were killed. The stations of the Second Army and its subordinate divisions were all attacked, personnel were killed, and arsenals were bombed. The Jinan airfield was completely destroyed, and the oil depot, ammunition depot, and tower were bombed, and the attackers should have used special smoke to attack first, and then entered the airport to carry out a fire attack while the airport garrison was busy with anti-poisoning. The Jinpu Road and Jiaoji Road overpass was blown up to the north, and Jinpu Road was paralyzed. Several banks in Jinan were looted, and the gold treasury was looted. Ma Liang, the puppet governor of the Shandong Provincial Public Office, and Zhu Guishan, the mayor of Jinan, were killed at home.

Tang Yangdu, director of the finance department of the puppet Shandong Provincial Public Office, and Zhang Yadong, director of the police department, escaped the murder because they stayed at Xianghao's house that night, and assisted the army in conducting an investigation. This Zhang Yadong is an old policeman, and his home was completely copied by the Eighth Route Army, except for his wife and children who were not killed, the guards who followed him were all killed, and the money was searched cleanly, and all the hard work of half his life was ruined. This guy was furious, so he threw himself down to follow the clues, and quickly sorted out the clues from the reports of various units of the army, and determined that the attacker had entered Jinan in disguise as a baggage unit of the Fifth Division, and used the Fifth Division's military station as a cover to calmly launch an attack. Subsequently, according to his own line of thought, Zhang Yadong got into the car of the army and went to the guards at the city gate, several patrols that night, and the Fifth Division regimental station to conduct an investigation.

After the investigation was clear, before lunch, Tang Yangdu and Zhang Yadong rushed to make a report to Lieutenant General Tsugaihiko Wang of Dongjuer Palace, and determined that this was a carefully planned action of a small unit of the Eighth Route Army, and according to the soldiers of the 35th Division who had met with this small unit of the Eighth Route Army, the commander of the small unit of the Eighth Route Army spoke fluently with a Hiroshima accent and had an arrogant attitude, and he disguised himself as a baggage unit of the Fifth Division, saying that he had come back to transport heavy materials. After this small unit entered the regimental station of the Fifth Division, it killed all the personnel of the station. Judging from the method of killing, almost all the members of this small unit are martial arts masters, and they can easily break people's necks with both hands, which can be further confirmed in the tragedy of Maleonn Mansion. According to Ma Liang's wife and concubine, this group of Eighth Route Army entered Ma's house under the pretext of learning martial arts in the name of the officers of the Fifth Division's Guards Mixed Brigade and under the pretext of learning martial arts. At the same time, the cold weapon used by the Eighth Route Army was a dagger, and all the guns used to kill people were equipped with silencers, and when the Fifth Division Regiment Station, Jinan Special Service Agency, Military Police, Jinan Military Law Conference, Police Department, and Maleonn Mansion committed murders, they basically used hand-to-hand combat tactics and daggers, and in several hospitals and other military stations, they used pistols equipped with silencers, and when attacking airfields, infantry was used to fire special smoke, and then heavy firepower was used, and the weapons were very advanced. In addition, almost all of them drove cars and motorcycles, otherwise it would not have been possible for the Fifth Division to drive away from all the cars of the baggage troops that had rushed back to transport ammunition. The conclusion is that this small army is very terrifying, extremely strong in combat, and extremely black, all the money of several big banks in Jinan was taken away by them, and the looting of the huge Jinan through the retreat of Han Fuqu and the looting of the Eighth Route Army has now become a poor egg.

After listening to the report, Lieutenant General of Dongjuer Palace, King Tsuyan, did not have the slightest expression, but only told Tang Yangdu to replace Ma Liang to preside over the work of the Shandong Provincial Office, and asked Zhang Yadong to gather the surviving policemen to assist the imperial army in maintaining law and order in Jinan, and then waved his hand and let them go.

After the two Han annihilations, Tang Yangdu and Zhang Yadong, Lieutenant General Tsukihiko of the Dongjuer Palace wrote a telegram to the Emperor, Prince Zaihito of the Kanin Palace, and General Terauchi Shouichi, reporting in detail the heavy losses caused by the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army, and proposing that all divisions and regiments of the Northern Front Group must be urgently replenished with ammunition immediately, preferably by air, and then replenished by sea. Otherwise, the divisions of the Northern Front Group would have to stop their offensive immediately. At the same time, a large amount of money must be provided for Jinan, otherwise, the banks in Jinan will have to close their doors, and the credibility of the empire will plummet. At the end of the telegram, Lieutenant General Tsukihiko of Higashijur Palace actually learned from Terauchi Shouichi's practice and offered to resign, saying that he was exhausted and difficult to take on heavy responsibilities, and asked for permission to return to his homeland to recuperate.

After sending the telegram, Lieutenant General Tsukihiko of Higashijueriya also held a press conference, like the commander of the Fifth Division, Anto Toshiyoshi, to accuse the Eighth Route Army instructor of sin. However, King Tsukihiko of Higashijur Palace was more clever than Ando Toshikichi, and he did not insult, but played the role of a judge, and sentenced Liu Yimin, the instructor of the Eighth Route Army, for six major crimes:

The first is the crime of undermining public order, and the evidence is that Liu Yimin instructed the headquarters to attack police stations, police stations, and other public security institutions, and that the massacre was only a police officer who maintained public order, and that the massacre was a massacre of the maintenance association and local political power at all levels exercising local management duties. What is hateful is that after Liu Yimin killed Yin Rugeng, chairman of the Autonomous Political Axe Committee of the Eastern Hebei Defense Communist Party, Gao Lingwei, chairman of the Tianjin Maintenance Association, Zhao Qi, mayor of Qingdao Special City, Zhang Huanan, mayor of Yantai, and other outstanding Chinese and friendly figures, he sent people to infiltrate Jinan last night and brutally murdered General Ma Liang, governor of the Shandong Provincial Public Office, and Mr. Zhu Guishan, mayor of Jinan, and caused a horrific series of bombings in Jinan City, destroying many houses and leaving many Jinan citizens without food and clothing.

The second is the crime of sabotage of transportation facilities. Liu Yimin regarded the Tianjin-Pudong Railway, Jiaoji Railway, Tongpu Railway, and Zhengtai Railway, which various countries had worked so hard to build with help to China, as the path in front of his house, and he could pick up as much as he wanted, and he could blow up as much as he wanted. Among them, during the occupation of Taiyuan, Liu Yimin destroyed the Tongpu Railway and the Zhengtai Railway, blew up the Tianjin Railway Station and stripped the tracks of the Jinpu Railway during the occupation of Tianjin, and pulled out the railway bridges and rails during the occupation of Tai'an and Dawenkou, and during the occupation of Qingdao, he not only stripped off the rails of the Jiaoji Railway for hundreds of miles, but even the locomotives were dismantled into scrap steel and rotten iron, and the sleepers were used by him to make firewood. Yesterday night, Liu Yimin's unit rushed into the vicinity of Jinan and blew up the railway bridge connecting Jinpu Road and Jiaoji Road, fully exposing Liu Yimin's true surname of disregard for China's fundamental interests. Due to Liu Yimin's wanton sabotage, the level of China's railway construction has been set back by at least 20 years.

The third is the crime of undermining the financial order. Liu Yimin's real surname is greedy, and he wantonly plunders civilians and commercial financial assets. When he occupied Tianjin, he looted Tianjin's foreign-funded banks, banks and money banks run by friendly people in China, as well as shops and factories of overseas Chinese, causing Tianjin's economy to regress by 20 years. After the occupation of Qingdao, he repeated the old tricks, turning the rich Qingdao into a poor city full of hungry people. Last night, Liu Yimin sent people to infiltrate Jinan, ransacked all the vaults of Jinan's major banks, and all residents' deposits fell into Liu Yimin's pocket. Liu Yimin is the biggest financial robber in China today, 100,000 times more vicious than ordinary robbers. However, please rest assured that the economy of this empire is well developed, and His Majesty the Emperor will soon allocate a huge amount of money to ensure the normal operation of the banks in Jinan. The deposits of various merchants and residents were plundered by Liu Yimin, and the imperial army was deeply sympathetic, but everyone should recover the deposits from Liu Yimin, and the imperial army was not responsible.

Fourth, the crime of violating international conventions. Liu Yimin's unit used poison gas bombs many times during the battle, and released poison gas to the Fifth Division during the battle of Zhoucun, and again at Jinan Airport last night. It can be inferred from this that Liu Yimin's troops used poison gas bombs when they captured Taiyuan Airport, Tianjin Airport, and Dawenkou Airport, otherwise he would not have been able to steal the imperial army's fighter planes so smoothly. Liu Yimin's crime of flouting international conventions should be unanimously condemned by all countries in the world.

Fifth, the crime of massacre of the wounded. In the battle against the imperial army, Liu Yimin's methods were extremely cruel, and he did not treat the wounded of the imperial army at all, but adopted a policy of massacre, often replenishing guns or bayonets to the wounded. What is particularly intolerable is that Liu Yimin's troops took the field hospitals of the Imperial Army as the target of attack and inspected the jade shattering battlefields of the Eighth and Tenth Divisions. Yesterday night, after Liu Yimin's troops entered Jinan, they infiltrated the rear hospital of the Second Army of the Great Liberation Army and the Shandong Hospital and other medical institutions, and carried out a frenzied massacre of the wounded of the imperial army who were being treated in the hospitals, and even the doctors and nurses of the rear hospitals of the Second Army did not spare them. The level of brutality and cruelty is outrageous.

Sixth, the crime of destroying silver women. After Liu Yimin occupied Tianjin and Jinan, he arrested a large number of women surnamed Yueqiao, although most of these people were released, but some of them are still missing. According to the diaspora, the whereabouts of the unaccounted for are all young girls of good appearance. In view of Liu Yimin's bad deeds of having two wives and multiple lovers, and being romantic, these beautiful girls should have stayed by Liu Yimin's side after being captured by him for him to be humiliated.

After announcing Liu Yimin's guilt, the veteran playboy Lieutenant General Dongjuer Gong Tsuyan Wang Tsuyan announced to reporters through gritted teeth that the Jinan Military Judge Conference had sentenced Liu Yimin to death, and that it was imperative to shoot and kill this extremely vicious criminal at all costs. Anyone who killed Liu Yimin was a great meritorious hero of the Chinese people, and the Second Army of the Imperial Army would be rewarded with 2 million silver dollars, and he could live in the United States or Europe. The Second Army will recruit first-class and well-cultivated beauties to serve as concubines or servants of great meritorious heroes.

Within a few days, the reward for Liu Yimin was raised from one million silver dollars to two million silver dollars, and Liu Yimin didn't know what he would think after knowing it!

After the press conference, Lieutenant General Tsukihiko of the Dongjuer Palace received a call from the base camp, first scolding him with a bad face, and then telling him that the ammunition could be replenished immediately, and asked him to immediately repair the Jinan airport so that the plane could land. The planes lost at the Jinan airfield could not be replenished for the time being, and the empire did not have so many excellent pilots for the North China Front to lose. As for the money, there is not a penny, and it can be raised on the spot, or it can be used to find a way to issue more banknotes and mobilize Chinese businessmen to buy shares. Regarding his request for resignation, the base camp replied very clearly, no. Either apologize for the crime, or lead the department to quickly annihilate Liu Yiming's cooking power.

After reading the telegram, the hands and feet of Lieutenant General Tsugahiko of the Dongjuer Palace were cold. However, no matter how angry you are, you have to deal with it yourself if you accidentally cause such a big mess. Since the supply of munitions could be made immediately, Lieutenant General Tsukihiko of Higashijurmiya ordered the sappers to repair the airfield as soon as possible, with the cooperation of the 35th Division, as long as the transport planes could take off and land. On the question of money, Lieutenant General of Dongjuer Palace, King Tsugiyan, thought about it and was relieved, where would the ordinary people in Jinan City have deposits in these years, and even if they did, they would not deposit them in the bank. The people who deposit money in the banks are all pro-Japanese merchants and officials, and these people have a lot of money. It just so happens that whoever comes to make a deposit means who has money, and the next step is to reach out to them. As for the foreign banks in Jinan City, the Eighth Route Army did not rob them, there should be no loss, can you also ask them to donate a part, the imperial army can not protect them in vain. Even if you are a bodyguard, you have to get paid!

The news of the press conference of Lieutenant General Kushigiū Miyaki King Kushihiko was quickly transmitted to all directions through the airwaves.

After reading the transcripts of the reporters who recorded them, he smoked a cigarette and said to Ye Jianying, who sent the telegram, with a smile: "Yo, the reward of Comrade Liu Yimin has doubled, it seems that the little devil is timid." ”

Ye Jianying said: "We should also hold a-for-tat press conference to inform the outside world of the achievements of the Eighth Route Army again, first, to publicize our party and our army, and second, to correct the name of our Comrade Liu Yimin, and not to let the little devil unscrupulously slander him." ”

[***] waved his hand and said, "There is no need to discuss this matter, you just go and organize." What are the six major sins, I think they are the six major merits! Add one more article to add the results of the destruction of the army. Among them, the little devil said that the crime of destroying silver women should be seriously refuted. Comrade Liu Yimin has a wife and a son, and he is clean and self-conscious, is there any mess there? All in all, the theme of this press conference is to persist in the exhibition of the achievements of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression behind enemy lines, and to carry out a sound and impressive exhibition, to explain our achievements thoroughly, and to expose the crimes of the devils. Some details should also be considered, such as the fact that the prisoners of war of the Yue army did not surrender to death, shot and killed the soldiers who rescued them, and the matter of the little devils making and using poison gas, all of which should be told so that the people of the world can see what kind of army the army is. ”

After Ye Jianying left, he drafted a telegram of instructions to Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan, asking when the battle of Lianyungang would be launched and whether the middle line group and the southern line group of the army would be transferred north, and instructed Liu and Luo that after the battle of Lianyungang began, the results of the battle must be announced to attract the heavy army group to the south, and at the same time send troops to attack southern Jiangsu in camouflage as the main force, threaten the north bank of the Yangtze River, and completely transfer the main force of the army out of Shandong.

The press conference here has not yet started, and the Wuhan side has become lively first, and major newspapers have printed supplements one after another, publishing the news that the Han Dynasty annihilated Ma Liang and Zhu Guishan were killed. Reporters flocked to the Wuhan camp to interview relevant personnel about the six major crimes convicted by the commander of the Second Army, Dongjuer Palace, and Liu Yimin.

At this time, Li Zongren was in Wuhan, and the reporters originally wanted to interview He Yingqin, but Li Zongren was on military affairs with He Yingqin and also accompanied the interview.

A reporter asked: "General He, do you have any comments on General Liu Yimin's dispatch of troops into Jinan City to kill Ma Liang and Zhu Guishan?" ”

He Yingqin held his glasses and said gently: "It's very happy! ”

The reporter continued to ask: "What do you think of the six sins of General Liu Yimin that Chief Yue said?" ”

Before He Yingqin could answer, Li Zongren next to him said loudly: "I'll answer this question." said that the chief said that General Liu Yimin's six major crimes, that is, they were afraid of being beaten. In my opinion, in addition to the crime of destroying silver women, the other five major sins are the five great merits. As for the crime of destroying silver women, it was Xiao Yuben's dream words. I dealt with General Liu Yimin and discussed a good strategy to break the enemy in Xuzhou. I dare to say, with General Liu Yimin's full of talent and grace, how could he fall in love with the black and short woman? He said that the chief had never seen General Liu Yimin, so he dared to talk such nonsense. If they saw General Liu Yimin, they would immediately be ashamed of themselves, and they would no longer dare to say such nonsense that made people laugh off their big teeth. ”

Li Zongren's remarks caused the reporters to burst into laughter. After laughing, a reporter asked again: "Commander Li, you are a famous general of the Anti-Japanese War, I would like to ask, is it really possible for General Liu Yimin to use poison gas?" ”

Li Zongren glanced at the reporter with a smile and said: "There are no poison gas bombs in my country, how can we use them?" During the Battle of Xuzhou, the army used poison gas bombs frantically, and I am a witness to this. If we have it, why can't we use it? You can write a special article to teach you what it means to return blood for blood and tooth for tooth. ”

Next, Li Zongren talked about his views on the important surnames that undermine railway transportation and the financial system. Finally, Li Zongren told reporters that Kou is the aggressor, and it is the responsibility and obligation of every Chinese [***] person to eliminate the aggressor, and General Liu Yimin has set an example for the Chinese [***] people, and our newspapers should publicize our heroes, and we must not let the little devils pour dirty water on General Liu Yimin.

After the interview, a female reporter pestered Li Zongren, asked Liu Yimin how he was doing and whether he was in good health, and asked Li Zongren if she could send her to the Eighth Route Army for an interview, she wanted to meet General Liu Yimin.

Li Zongren saw that this female reporter was extremely beautiful, and when he asked Liu Yimin, he looked concerned, and knew that this girl was attracted to Liu Yimin, so he told her that he had seen Liu Yimin in Xuzhou and was in good health, but now he can't contact Liu Yimin, the war in Shandong is fierce, the situation is grim, and it is very difficult to interview Liu Yimin now. However, if you really want to go, it is not impossible.

The female reporter immediately asked if she could return to the station with General Li so that she could go to Shandong as soon as possible to interview General Liu.

Li Zongren glanced at the female reporter again, and asked with a smile: "Miss reporter, you haven't told me who you are?" ”

The female reporter's face turned red, and she lowered her head and twisted for a long time before she said: "General Li, my name is Huang Wei, and I used to work for the foreign language version of Shanghai Wen Wei Po. After the army occupied Shanghai, I came to Wuhan and was a reporter for the newly established Chinese Wen Wei Po in Wuhan. ”

Li Zongren thought about it, two years ago, there was a news incident in Shanghai that caused a sensation across the country, two female reporters held a press conference, and one of the female reporters openly expressed her love for Liu Yimin at the press conference.

Thinking of this, the smile on Li Zongren's face became even stronger, and he said: "Miss reporter, if I guessed correctly, you should have interviewed General Liu Yimin before!" I can tell you that anything can happen on the battlefield, and you are risking your life to interview General Liu Yimin. This is something to consider! ”

Huang Wei raised her head: "So many people died under the iron hooves of Yue Kou, how could I be afraid of death?" Please rest assured General Li, I am not afraid of danger, please send me to interview General Liu! ”

Li Zongren saw that this little girl had a very resolute attitude, and he thought in his heart where this little girl was going to interview, and she obviously wanted to visit Liu Yimin. Thinking about it again, Liu Yimin's wife is her own little fellow in Guangxi, this girl is so beautiful, let her go to see Liu Yimin, it is likely to cause something, and Mrs. Liu Yimin will definitely scold herself at that time. I wanted to refuse, but as soon as I saw the little girl's demeanor, Li Zongren's heart softened, the war was raging, and human life was like grass, wasn't Chen Yaoguang, who accompanied Liu Yimin to Xuzhou last time, sacrificed on the way back? It is also a pleasure to be able to fulfill the heart of a young girl.

Thinking of this, Li Zongren no longer hesitated, and asked Huang Wei to go back to prepare, he would return to the chief's department in the afternoon, and he could take her with him.

As soon as Huang Wei heard that Li Zongren agreed to take her, she was very maneuvering, bowed to Li Zongren again and again, and repeatedly said that she would be grateful to General Li for his great kindness and virtue all her life, and then hurriedly went back to prepare.

He Ying on the side smiled when he saw it, saying that he didn't expect that the dignified general would be old under the moon.

(To be continued)
