Chapter 1240 "forced" to fight back

After a short period of heavy rain, the scorching sun of midsummer is rising, and the scenery shrouded in steaming water vapor on both sides of the river gives birth to an illusory and distorted state, and the sparse grass and trees on the blazing loess slope seem to be dried out of moisture, swaying listlessly in the spicy hot airflow. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The cave dug along the mountain wall is much cooler, wearing a washed yellow shirt, shaking a sunflower fan in one hand, naturally bending with the other, and the inferior cigarettes sandwiched between the fingers are only a short section, and the long soot burned is curved, but it does not fall, so that Mr. Zhu, who is not a smoker, is a little anxious, and Li Kenong, who finished reporting the situation, sat on the bench on the side and drank water desperately.

The chairman paced slowly, and suddenly felt a burning sensation between his fingers, and quickly stopped, turned the cigarette butt that burned his fingers, and took another puff economically, before reluctantly throwing it into the corner, returning to his seat, and gently waving the sunflower fan:

"Kenong, from the analysis of the content of the secret message of the No. 04 intelligence officer, can it be understood that he has determined that the 17th Division of the Kuomintang is about to take the initiative to attack and eliminate the 77th Wing of the Japanese Army that caused the 'Beishuangmiao Massacre'?"

Li Kenong put down the enamel tea jar: "That's basically the case, in the past six years, our No. 04 intelligence officer has only had two active contacts with us, and these two unconventional contacts have occurred extremely important events, and the intelligence value is very huge." This is the third time, although the content of the secret message is not long, but it fully expounds his judgment on the situation in North China, and he was already in the heart of the Fifth Army of the Kuomintang, so the accuracy of this information is quite high and very valuable. The few words at the end of the secret telegram confirmed our speculation about the reason why the Fifth Army Corps had been delayed in moving to the front line, and from another side confirmed our reasoning about the current situation of An Yi, a general of the Shaozhuang faction who resolutely resisted Japan. ”

"I agree with Kenong's analysis, and I think that the reason why An Yi has not given the battle order to the Fifth Army is completely worried about the attitude of Song Zheyuan's troops. Further, it is likely that An Yi was worried that once the fight started, the 29th Army, which had not yet made preparations in all aspects, would suffer a big loss, and the 'Beishuangmiao Massacre' was an excellent proof of this. Mr. Zhu expressed his opinion unhurriedly.

**Nodding slowly: "**Not far from ten, as of yesterday, Qi Xieyuan, Zhang Zizhong, Chen Juesheng, Zhang Yunrong and others are still negotiating in Tianjin, and the commander of the Japanese army, Kazuki Kiyoji, cordially met with Song Zheyuan, which is incomprehensible and even more anxious!" It's hard to imagine how Song Zheyuan and others could have changed so much in just a few years? It seems that the bigger the official, the less courage he has, and the mighty broadsword team four years ago has disappeared without a trace, which is sad! It can be seen that if an army does not have firm convictions and ideals and does not have unremitting political and ideological education, it will quickly decline and eventually become confused and die. ”

Mr. Zhu deeply agreed: "Lao Mao's summary is very correct, hasn't our Red Army also experienced such painful tribulations?" Fortunately, through the 25,000-mile long march, we have found our soul and mind, and we can't change it! ”

Haha laughed: "Heroes see the same thing!" Hehe, Kenong, what advice do you have for the current complicated situation in North China? ”

"I've thought about it a lot, but it's not mature yet, and since the chairman asked, I'm going to make a fool of myself."

Li Kenong cupped his glasses and said solemnly: "If our inference is correct, I believe that An Yi will never give up this rare excellent opportunity to annihilate the 77th Wing of the Japanese Army, otherwise in 24 to 36 hours, the two main divisions of the Japanese army will land in Tianjin and march into the North China battlefield.

"Another person, An Yi is good at guiding public opinion, very good at using his influence and appeal, and he himself controls the country's largest radio station, and this southwest people's radio station has always been famous at home and abroad for its timely, accurate, flexible and rich, and clear-cut news reports.

"If my judgment is correct, I believe that the 'Beishuangmiao Massacre' will be reported to the whole country today, and it will even shock China and foreign countries, and patriotic students and people from all walks of life in major cities across the country will pour into the streets, angrily denouncing the atrocities of the Japanese army, and strongly demanding that the Kuomintang government go all out to fight against the Japanese invaders, so as to win a justifiable reason for An Yi's active attack."

** Nodding, discussing a few words in a low voice with Mr. Zhu, he immediately reached an agreement, and turned to Li Kenong to give instructions: "Since this is the case, we will conform to the will of the people, add fuel to the fire, and once again send a telegram to the whole country, strongly asking the Kuomintang government to give up all concerns, unite as one, and fight together."

"In addition, the comrades of the East China Bureau, the Central China Bureau, and the South China Bureau were ordered to take immediate action to set off a huge anti-Japanese demonstration and make every effort to promote the formation of an all-out war of resistance."

"Understood, handle it immediately."

"Wait a minute, Comrade Kenong, how is the secrecy of our No. 04 intelligence officer doing?"

"The existence of the No. 04 intelligence officer has always been listed as the top secret of our party, at present, only the three of us and Comrade Enlai know his identity, and only Comrade Enlai has seen him, I have not had the opportunity to meet him, he has been lurking in the Kuomintang army for ten years, it is not easy to come by!"

"You know, it's not easy to come by! Therefore, we must cherish it and protect it with all our might. ”

"Yes!"

......

Ten o'clock in the morning, Lushan.

There was still no news on the radio about the "Beishuangmiao Massacre," and this anomaly surprised Chiang Kai-shek and others, who were sitting in front of the radio and waiting.

"What's going on? What about others? Chiang Kai-shek asked.

Qian Dajun, director of the chamberlain, replied: "An Yi is still at the headquarters, discussing the current situation with General Jiansheng, General Cixiu, Cheng Songgong, Tang Menggong and others. On the contrary, special issues of major newspapers in Syria, Nanjing, and Shanghai have been launched one after another, and it is estimated that they will soon cause huge repercussions. ”

Chiang Kai-shek looked at his watch with dissatisfaction, and was suddenly attracted by a piece of news broadcast on the radio, learning that the Political Affairs Committee of the Jicha had successfully reached an agreement with the Japanese side, and announced that "the Chinese garrisons at and near the Lugou Bridge shall immediately withdraw and be replaced by security forces to maintain law and order; The Chinese side apologized and punished those responsible; Carry out the three important articles of "anti-communism and complete ban on anti-Japanese resistance".

Everyone looked at each other, extremely shocked, Chiang Kai-shek was very annoyed, and scolded the Jicha Political Affairs Committee as a traitor and a traitorous organization.

Before Chiang Kai-shek could scold enough, the South Sichuan People's Radio Station suddenly stopped broadcasting, and the familiar male voice with a loud and neutral voice immediately sounded:

"Important news, important news, according to the on-the-spot interview report sent back by our reporter on the North China front, the 77th Wing of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army savagely invaded the Wuqing area where the squadron was stationed yesterday evening, and launched a fierce attack in a brazen and savage manner, wantonly slaughtering more than 800 officers and men of the 1st Brigade of the 3rd Provisional Division of our 29th Army stationed in Beishuangmiao, northwest of the county, and creating the 'Beishuangmiao Massacre' that shocked the world, and the atrocities and bestiality of the Japanese army ......"

Chiang Kai-shek sat down reassuringly: "It's lively, it's lively!" I said, how could An Yi procrastinate on such a major matter, it turned out that he was waiting for the North China Political Affairs Committee and the Japanese side to announce the results of the negotiations! Now I want to see how Song Zheyuan and Qi Xieyuan handled themselves, how they faced 40,000 people, how they explained to the more than 800 officers and soldiers who were slaughtered, and how they faced more than 100,000 soldiers under their command? Hum! Obsessed, when the judgment continues, but suffer from its chaos! He deserves his bad luck! ”

......

The news of the "Beishuangmiao tragedy" instantly spread throughout the country, and protests and demonstrations like a wave of anger swept across the north and south of the Yangtze River in just three hours, and large-scale anti-Japanese demonstrations took place in more than 30 cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Changsha, Syria, Chongqing, and Chengdu, and other cities, and the voices strongly demanding that the central government immediately declare war on Japan and expel the Japanese invaders rose one after another.

Eight o'clock in the evening, Tianjin, the headquarters of the Japanese Chinese garrison.

Kazuki Kiyoji forcibly endured the anger in his heart, and urgently summoned Kawagishi Bunzaburo, the commander of the 20th Division, to denounce Kawagishi Bunzaburo in the name of the supreme commander in North China.

Kawagishi Fumizaburo was respectful and humbly accepted, and said that he would immediately contact the 77th Wing and submit an investigation report on the incident to Kiyoshi Kazuki within 24 hours.

Kiyoji Kazuki waved his hand in annoyance, stiffly waved away Kawagishi Fumizaburo who was standing with his head bowed and solemn, picked up the telegram from Koichi Ishikawa, the commander of the Major General of the 7th Mixed Brigade who had just received it on the table, read it carefully again, was silent for a moment, and asked Hashimoto Group, the chief of staff standing aside:

"Hashimoto-kun, do you think Ishikawa-kun's worries are justified?"

Hashimoto smiled slightly: "General, Ishikawa-kun has fought with the An family army more than once, and a few years ago, not long after our army easily occupied Chengde, Ishikawa-kun was almost killed by the An family's plane, for which Ishikawa-kun received a medal and was promoted to major general. It should be said that Ishikawa-kun knows the An Jia Army better than General Tashiro, who has just died, but he is also more afraid of the An Jia Army, and at some point, the combat effectiveness of the An Jia Army is estimated too high, so he solemnly called us to remind us not to underestimate the enemy and strictly guard against the sneak attack of the An Jia Army.

"But the fact that the Political Affairs Committee of the Inspectorate, knowing that our army had destroyed more than 1,000 of them, still reached an agreement with us fully proves that the war will not expand rapidly, and the war-torn 29th Army seems to be trying to avoid mentioning this disgrace, and does not want it to have an impact on the peaceful armistice they need.

"Therefore, Ishikawa-kun's worries will not come so soon, at least not in a day or two, however, we need to further restrain the Twentieth Division so that it cannot affect the overall situation because of their impulsive belligerence."

"Well, your analysis makes sense, but I have to remind General Kawagishi again to make all preparations for battle."

"Hey! I'll go to General Kawagishi and explain why. ”

......

At nine o'clock in the evening, five kilometers north of Beishuangmiao Town, about one regiment of officers and men of the 29th Army suddenly appeared in front of the outer cordon of the 77th Wing of the Japanese Army, and immediately launched a fierce attack without waiting for the Japanese army to wake up.

Under the fierce attack of more than 1,500 soldiers of the squadron who were not afraid of death, most of them were killed in nearly three minutes, and the remaining squad leaders were stabbed to death by more than a dozen bayonets rushing in the south before they could connect the phone call from the headquarters of Beishuangmiao Town in the south.

After a brief analysis, the commander of the wing, who received the urgent report, mistakenly believed that this was a sudden retaliatory attack by the 38th Division of the 29th Army stationed in Langfang, and after reporting to the brigade commander Takagi Yoshito stationed in Wuqing County, he received an order to resolutely destroy the invading enemy, and immediately personally led an infantry brigade to quickly meet the enemy.

The two sides engaged in a fierce exchange of fire at the north and south of Dongma Bridge, which is 3.5 kilometers north of the town.
