Chapter 259: July 7th
Song Zheyuan is a filial son, and his mother lives in Tianjin, so he has to go back to Tianjin often.
Returned to Tianjin, stayed at home for one night, and at noon the next day, Song Zheyuan went to Haiguang Temple, the headquarters of the North China garrison army.
Before he came, Song Zheyuan already had a plan in his heart, this must be a Hongmen banquet, but because of Han Lihong, a high staff, everything is different.
Before coming to Tianjin, he met with Han Lihong again, and Han Lihong told him clearly what might happen and how to deal with it.
Now, he and these little devils are squeezing their eyes, you fool me, I fool you, it depends on who can fool whom in the end.
Song Zheyuan was not good at communicating, but since he was in charge for more than a year, he said that he had honed much stronger than before.
The old devil Tashiro Wanichiro is less than sixty years old this year, lean, not tall, more than six meters tall, but a pair of wolf eyes are shining, and he is a difficult master to deal with at first glance.
During the banquet, when the wine was half-drunk, the old devil smiled and took out a document and asked Song Zheyuan to sign it.
Song Zheyuan took it and took a look, as Han Lihong expected, it was still that matter.
After Tashiro Wanichiro replaced Tada Jun, this old devil learned the lesson of his predecessor and knew that it was basically useless to engage in North China autonomy, so he changed his path and began to engage in economic cooperation instead of North China autonomy.
Economic support, that is, economic infiltration, to put it bluntly, is to open mines and build railways.
It's good to say that it is absolutely impossible to build a railway, so Song Zheyuan played Tai Chi with Yue himself, and responded to Yue himself's step-by-step pressing with the two strategies of "dragging" and "pushing".
The so-called procrastination means neither saying yes nor saying no, neither refusing nor agreeing, just putting it there like that, ready to be a wasted old man.
Later, what if you can't put it off? Push it again, push it to Nanjing Political Axe, and ask for instructions from above.
Naturally, it was impossible for Nanjing to agree, so he continued to drag and procrastinate.
Song Zheyuan's two hands made Tashiro Wanichiro run up with a false fire, and now, this old devil wants to cut the mess with a quick knife.
Behind Tashiro Wanichiro, there were four soldiers who said this.
These four were not equipped with guns, but they all carried waist knives. When Song Zheyuan read the documents, their right hands with snow-white white gloves were pressed on the hilt of the knife.
That means, if Song Zheyuan doesn't sign, he will pull out the knife and chop Song Zheyuan on the spot.
Song Zheyuan pretended to drink too much and was drunk in a daze, took the pen handed over by Tashiro Wanichiro, and signed the words in a daze.
After taking the signed documents, the old devil's face was full of chrysanthemums.
The documents were signed, and Song Zheyuan also left.
The next day, Tashiro Wanichiro sent someone to find Song Zheyuan and honor the signed contract, but he never thought that Song Zheyuan was not there, so he left and went to Shanxi to recuperate.
This can make the old devil Tashiro Wanichiro angry.
Song Zheyuan left, Qin Dechun acted as an agent, and Tashiro Wanichiro went to find Qin Dechun, so the drama of ripping continued to be staged.
-- On the seventh day of July, night shrouded Wanping City.
In the north of Wanping City, near the Dragon King Temple and the big tile kiln, there were bursts of gunshots.
This is the exercise of the Chinese army, and it is the Qingshui squadron of the Chinese army stationed in Fengtai.
After the Xi'an Incident, the Communists quickly judged that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party must have reached a secret agreement, and the Nanjing Political Axe and the Su Ronggong were the most intolerable things for the Communists.
Since then, the friction between the North China Garrison Army and the 29th Army has increased suddenly, and there have been repeated provocations without reason.
Subsequently, the army stationed in Fengtai began to act. At first, once a month, then once every half a month, and then once every three to five days, and it was a big exercise.
In the beginning, the exercise method was to shoot blank bullets, and then it quickly turned into live ammunition shooting, and the yellow bullets were pressed into the chamber and then shot out.
Since then, even the way of work has changed, from daytime drills to "evening self-study".
Tonight, it was another ordinary "evening self-study".
Tonight, there was no wind and no moon, but the weather was unusually clear.
At 10:40, the show ended, and squadron leader Setsuro Shimizu ordered the team to be closed.
The troops began to assemble.
Setsuro Shimizu looked towards Wanping Castle, and from a distance, he could see the walls of Wanping Castle and the vague figures of the soldiers on the city walls.
In the dark night, there was a kind of light burning in Shimizu Setsuro's eyes, and there was a kind of longing in that light, an extreme desire, just like a hungry wolf, Shimizu Setsuro couldn't wait to pounce on it, tear Wanping City to pieces, and bite it to pieces.
At this moment, suddenly, a burst of gunfire was heard from the northwest.
Hearing the gunshots, Shimizu Setsuro's eyes lit up, but then they dimmed again, and nothing could be done with these few gunshots.
After the team was combined, Shimizu Setsuro stared at Wanping City in the dark again, and was about to lead the team to go.
"Report, Private Shimura Kikujiro has not returned." Kurojiro Arada, the leader of the third squad, ran over and reported to the squadron leader, Setsuro Shimizu.
As soon as Setsuro Shimizu heard this, his eyes immediately widened three times, and he was overjoyed.
A genius is a genius, Setsuro Shimizu is a genius of detectives, and while he was happy, he completed the entire process of the disappearance of Private Shimura Kikujiro almost instantly: the defenders of the 29th Army in Wanping City went out of the city and shot or wounded Private Shimura Kikujiro, and then got people or corpses into Wanping City.
Without even looking for anyone, Setsuro Shimizu ordered to prepare for battle on the one hand, and on the other hand, sent a herald to report to the captain of the brigade, Kiyoshi Ichiki.
After receiving the report, the blood in Ichiki Kiyonao's whole body boiled instantly, and he immediately reported it to the wing captain Mutaguchi Ryoya.
At this time, stationed in Beiping was an infantry brigade, and the brigade commander was Major General Shozo Riverbe.
This infantry brigade is not an ordinary infantry brigade, and the current North China Garrison Army is not the former North China Garrison Army, and the former commander of the North China Garrison was appointed by the General Staff Headquarters, but Tashiro Wanichiro's appointment was personally issued by the emperor.
Therefore, the tide rises, and this infantry brigade on the riverside is a special existence, its total strength is as high as 12,000 people, and the heavy weapons are doubled.
At this time, the brigade commander Kawabe Shozo was not in Beiping, he was inspecting Qinhuangdao, and the current head of the family is the commander of the First Infantry Wing, Mutaguchi Ryoya Osa.
Mu Taguchi wanted to fight, wanted to make meritorious contributions, wanted to get ahead, and he was about to go crazy, and he had just drawn up a surprise attack plan not long ago, and controlled all the military and political leaders of the 29th Army, but, unfortunately, the above did not adopt it.
There is no need for such a good plan, those heads and brains above must have eaten dung all day long, Mu Tianguchi was angry, hearing such news, it was impossible not to boil the blood of the beast.
The 29th Army actually opened fire illegally, and a soldier was missing on its own side!
Opportunity, opportunity!
However, Mutaguchi and Ichiki Kiyonao are different, after all, the location is different, and now the brigade commander Kawabe Shozo is not here, he is a family member, and he has to weigh and weigh such a big thing, and he can't just say it.
First of all, the 29th Army dared to shoot "to provoke", was this a planned all-out attack by the Chinese people, or an occasional local incident?
It was necessary to determine whether this was a trap set by the people of Shina, although this may be a very small surname, but it could not be considered, so Mu Tiankou immediately ordered the Beiping gendarmerie to conduct reconnaissance to see if there were any abnormal activities at the top of the 29th Army.
The military headquarters of the 29th Army is in Nanyuan, and there are two small streets in Nanyuan, north and south, and there are many shops on the small streets, many of which are opened by himself.
They are not only spies themselves, but also the eyes and ears of spies, and they are well aware of the situation in the military headquarters of the 29th Army, and even how many people live in which house, and what their identities are.
Soon, the results came back with no changes.
Mutaguchi was relieved, this was a local accident.
I can eat a bite of big fat again, and this time, Mutaguchi's target is Wanping City.
Matsumuro Takara got a lot of benefits from Song Zheyuan, but he didn't give an inch in several important places, such as Fengtai Railway Station and Wanping City.
Not long ago, the 29th Army was forced away from Fengtai because of a little thing, and this time, not only did they shoot, but they also lost their troops, if they didn't get Wanping City, it would be a big loss.
Fengtai is the railway transportation hub of Beining, Pinghan and Pingsui, and at the same time it is in the middle of the Nanyuan barracks and the Lugouqiao garrison.
But it's such an important place, and it was only taken over because of some small things, so now ...... Hahaha...... To the west of Beiping, there was a garrison army stationed in Tianjin nearby; To the east, there is the autonomous political axe of the Eastern Hebei Defense Communist Party controlled by Yin Rugeng; To the north, there were the Manchu and Mongolian armies and the Kwantung army.
Now, as long as Wanping City is taken again, then Beiping will be surrounded by the empire on all sides. At that time, Beiping will be completely the meat in the mouth of the Great Empire, and you can eat it as you want.
Herald!
At the same time, in addition to ordering Ichiki Kiyoshi to lead the main force of the brigade to deploy operations outside Wanping City, he also sent Toru Morita, deputy commander of the First Wing, to lead an infantry squadron and a machine gun squad to reinforce them.
-- An hour later, at 11:40 a.m., Kutaro Matsui, head of the Peiping secret service, personally went out and arrived at the Juren Hall in a vigorous manner.
At this time, Qin Dechun and Feng Zhi'an had already arrived.
Fifteen minutes ago, Wang Lengzhai, the magistrate of Wanping County, called to report that he wanted to enter Wanping City to search on the grounds that the Wanping garrison had shot and plundered a soldier.
In the future, as long as he encountered himself making trouble, Qin Dechun's legs and stomach were confused, but at this moment, his hair was fried at the roots, and the blood around his body was faintly boiling.
It feels great, paralyzed little devil, finally waiting for this day. This time, there is revenge and revenge.
Looking at Kutaro Matsui who walked in, Qin Dechun and Feng Zhi'an both had one thought.
