Chapter 7 Planning, Change
The wide streets of Dalian are full of people, and from time to time there are groups of ronins and Japanese soldiers passing by, which adds a bit of tension to Dalian at this time. A dangerous atmosphere has already permeated the skies over Dalian, and it will not be long before the troops landing from here will set off a bloody storm in the three eastern provinces.
In the headquarters of the Japanese army in Dalian, several men in kimonos sat on their knees.
The first person raised his glass and said to the man opposite, "Kawamoto-kun, the empire's plan is here, please!" ”
"Even sacrificing one's life for the hegemony of the empire is the best destination and honor for a soldier, and I will definitely do my best to successfully carry out this glorious mission, thanks to Major Hanaya Masashi and Staff Officer Ishihara for their cultivation." Suemoru Kawamoto, who was a sapper and familiar with the affairs of the explosion, looked fanatical, and excitedly drank the sake in the cup with both hands in his hands.
The sound of military boots on the planks sounded rapidly.
"Baga, haven't you already ordered you not to disturb when you go down to hold an important meeting?" Ishihara stood up suddenly, walked to the door with an angry face, and opened the door to reprimand the reckless guy, but he was shocked when he saw someone coming.
"Itagaki-kun, didn't you go to deal with the assassination of the chief of staff of the Northeast Army in China, why did you come here in such a hurry?"
"Plans have changed!" Seishiro Itagaki walked in and said with a stern face, "The base camp does not agree to launch an incident in the near future, and the Minister of War, General Minamijiro, has sent Minister Miji Kenkawa to the Tohoku to stop this operation, and Minister Miji Kengawa deliberately leaked the news to Hashimoto, the head of the Russian group of the General Staff Headquarters, before leaving, Hashimoto sent me an urgent telegram in private code, urging us to launch it in advance before Minister Miji Kenkawa rushed to the Tohoku. ”
When those present heard about the change in attitude towards action in China, their faces changed dramatically.
"When will Minister Miji Kenkawa arrive in the Northeast?" Ishihara said in a deep voice.
"Evening of September 18th!"
"Then change the plan and launch the Wicker Lake Incident in advance on September 18th!" Ishihara said immediately.
"In this way, the original plan will be completely interrupted, and I am afraid that there will be a fear of failure." Seishiro Itagaki said worriedly.
"The local armies in China are afraid of each other, Zhang Xueliang has been sick for many days, and he is addicted to smoking, the Middle East Road has lost its former sharpness after World War I, most of the elite of the Northeast Army has been transferred to Guannai, and more importantly, the weakness of the government in China, whether it is the Nanjing government or Zhang Xueliang, they all have illusions about the League of Nations, and when they appeal to the League of Nations, we will pull the Kwantung Army into the water and form a de facto occupation of the Northeast, and the base camp has no reason to stand still. The military department will also categorically not sit idly by. Ishihara smiled coldly, "There are still a few days of preparation time, all the troops that can be mobilized along the line are ready to be in place, seize the time to carry out armed exercises, take the explosion of Wicker Lake as a signal, and the soldiers of all units are ready to attack the established target immediately!" ”
………….
Plans can't catch up with changes, and this sentence is the same for Jiang Li at this time. Perhaps it was Rong Zhen's death that shocked Wang Yizhe, there was nothing to do in normal times, Wang Yizhe no longer left the barracks at all, and he couldn't find a chance to start in the Beida camp.
Since Wang Yizhe did not come out of the camp in Beida, Jiang Li was not discouraged, and he mingled with the soldiers in the camp in the past few days, and straightened out the relationship a little. However, the commanders of the 621 and 622 regiments often go out, for these two regiment commanders, Jiang Li did not start, in order to mingle with these military fetishes, Jiang Li also learned to smoke, if he does not smoke or drink, it is difficult to get a relationship in Beidaying, which has no entertainment activities.
"Camp." Ma Zhuang and another company commander, Wang Sanpao, and two platoon commanders saw Jiang Li hiding in the corner of the barracks and smoking, and came over with a smile, "I said where did the barracks go, it turned out that they were hiding here and swallowing clouds and fog." ”
"." Jiang Li threw the remaining half of the old knife card to Ma Zhuang, "Disperse the cigarette, the more nervous this day passes, maybe this is the severed head cigarette you smoked, cherish it and take two puffs." ”
"I've only heard of decapitated meals, but I haven't heard of decapitated cigarettes." Wang Sanpao smiled and said, "But what the camp said is also right, the people above are clear-eyed and well-informed, if something really happens, the thief is running fast, the camp seat is Commander Huang's nephew, presumably the road is wider than the people below us, did you hear any rumors?" ”
"What can there be? I'm from the 7th Brigade, can I leave you and run away by myself with a word from my uncle? Jiang Li reprimanded the other party, "We are soldiers and run away, what should the people of Mukden do, throw them to the Japanese?" At that time, Japan killed tens of thousands of people in Luda, and the coal mines and mass graves over there were one after another, and those of us who were soldiers did not come out, and in a few years, the mass graves could be dug all the way from Qianjin Village to Fengtian City. ”
"Now everyone is saying that the Japanese army may start to move at some point, so the camp will not leave the headquarters?" Xu Sheng asked.
"Damn, you guys won't run away anymore, it's a big deal to pick up Lao Tzu's military uniform, if you want to run, you can't pull it hard, tie Lao Tzu and go." Jiang Li took a puff of his cigarette and threw the cigarette butt on the ground, "It's all big men, what do you say, the Japanese are moving, do you flee to the gate to find the young marshal, or do you carry a gun with me to fuck the Japanese?" ”
"Damn, Lao Tzu's family was killed by the Japanese in Lushun in their early years, one person was full, and the whole family was not hungry. I'm not afraid of this kind of family situation, I'm afraid of a ball, and I'm going to do it with Yingza. Wang Sanpao scolded, there is no impermeable wall in the world, most of the top brass of the Northeast Army were aware of the unusual actions of the Japanese army at this time, and the soldiers below more or less heard some false news, the more they stopped, the faster the news spread, and there were even rumors that a large number of Japanese troops were landing in Dalian.
"Chief of Staff!"
I don't know who shouted first, the 7th Brigade only has one chief of staff, Zhao Zhenfan, and he is quite strict with the discipline of the army. Now he was caught red-handed and smoked next to the barracks.
Jiang Li reacted quickly, and pointed at Ma Zhuang and the others and scolded, "You guys are getting fatter and fatter, you all fucking hide here to smoke, do you think the usual training is too easy or what?" What are you staring at, that is, you Ma Zhuang, don't fucking give me a frenzy here, all go to the school to run ten laps, and you are not allowed to eat dinner if you don't finish the run! ”
After speaking, Jiang Li turned to Zhao Zhenfan and said, "Chief of Staff, I have already criticized and educated these soldiers, you are not in the General Staff, what are you doing in the barracks?" ”
"Well, the usual training is already relatively strict, don't take it too seriously in private, the situation is more tense during this time, and it is not appropriate to press too tightly below." Zhao Zhenfan said.
"Well, since the chief of staff has spoken, forget it this time, and if there is another situation, it will definitely be severely punished." Jiang Lihu turned around with his face and turned his back to Zhao Zhenfan, glaring at Wang Sanpao, Zhao Tieshu and the others who were holding back their smiles.
"Chief of Staff Rong was assassinated, tomorrow Brigade Commander Wang will go to attend the Liaobei Flood Relief Meeting, he will not come back in the past two days, the commanders of the 621 and 622 regiments also have something to go out, the soldiers below you have to restrain a little better, don't make a mess, otherwise the young marshal will blame, and everyone will not look good." Zhao Zhenfan gave another command and turned to leave.
Wang Yizhe is going to the Liaobei Flood Relief Association? I won't be back for two days, and the day after tomorrow won't be September 18? Jiang Li's pupils shrank, even the commanders of the 621 and 622 regiments did not come back, and only Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Tiehan were in charge of the entire 7th Brigade, which was not an opportunity. Since Wang Yizhe does not return to Beidaying, there is no need to assassinate him for the time being, after all, it is already the 16th, who can guarantee that history will continue to move along the original track without any changes? Wasn't Rong Zhen, who originally defected to the enemy later, also killed by him?
After Zhao Zhenfan left, Ma Zhuang and the others, who were holding back their laughter, couldn't hold back their laughter any longer, and laughed loudly.
