Chapter 612: Heavily Guarded (II)

As a Japanese spy. Kawashima "Nani" participated in almost the entire process of the "June 26 Incident", and he is fully qualified to evaluate this incident as an eyewitness, and if he uses his words, then this incident is "a big 'yin' plot planned by the Chinese."

In fact, when the Japanese employees of Mitsui & Co. were attacked by unknown persons, Kawashima 'Nani' was aware of the strange atmosphere in the Japanese Concession, but as a "forgotten person", Kawashima's 'Nani' could not turn the situation around, coupled with the long-term low 'fascinated' economic situation in the Japanese Concession, the Japanese expatriates were instigated in this way, and when the riot began, the situation could not be saved, and the situation was not brought under control until the Chinese army entered the Hankou Japanese Concession.

But this control came at the cost of a fierce battle, as a Japanese spy, Kawashima 'Nani' did not directly participate in the battle, but he witnessed the tragic street fighting, the Chinese army's way of fighting surprised him, he had never seen such a "fierce" battle scene on Chinese soil.

The Japanese thugs were supported by the Japanese concession authorities, and they were given guns and ammunition, so they got carried away. Coupled with the fact that the Japanese consul deliberately ignored the determination of the Chinese army, as a result, the moment the Chinese army entered the concession, the gunshots rang out, and then the Japanese thugs learned the ruthless combat methods of the Chinese army.

When the Chinese troops were blocked in the streets, they did not simply meet them head-on, but copied them in two, suppressing the fire of the Japanese thugs with machine guns, and at the same time sending special operations teams to break into the vicinity of the building where the Japanese gunners were lurking under the cover of machine gun fire and armored vehicles, and then "clear" the gunmen in the building with a special weapon, which was a flamethrower.

Kawashima 'Naniwa' has seen the scene of flamethrower combat with his own eyes: a long flame passes, no matter what material the building is made of, it only takes a few seconds, the whole house will be on fire, thick smoke billowing out, and accompanied by the screams of those Japanese gunmen in the house, heart-rending, heartbreaking, once you are stained by this kind of oil fire, the final outcome can only be a charred corpse, this is by no means an exaggeration, this is a weapon that "has no human 'humanity' at all".

It was precisely by relying on this "inhumane weapon" that the Chinese army was able to quickly control the entire Hankou Japanese Concession, restore order in the concession before dawn, and establish order for the Chinese. From that moment on, Kawashima Nani quickly understood that the Chinese were fully qualified to appear on the international stage as enemies of Japan, not only because of their determination to fight, but also because of their combat methods, which were desperate and unscrupulous to achieve their goals; the reason why the Japanese army was able to defeat the Russian army in those years was precisely because the Japanese army was unscrupulous, but compared with the Chinese army last night, the Japanese army's combat method was too backward.

Kawashima didn't even know how he managed to sneak out of the Japanese concession, he only knew that last night's battle had left him depressed, and until now, he still seemed to be able to hear the screams of the Japanese gunners in the flames, as well as the roars of the light machine guns and submachine guns in the hands of the Chinese soldiers, and the roar of the "rumbling" engines of the armored cars was even more inextricable, everything was too terrible for him, and he preferred to believe that it was just a Japanese nightmare.

"The Chinese army is too cunning, too weird, God knows what kind of new weapons they haven't brought out. Too negligent. The Empire of Japan must have paid the price for this oversight, and if the politicians at home have not completely become idiots, they should be preparing for war now. ”

Sitting in the corner of the tavern, Kawashima Naniwa drunk himself with wine, and at the same time cursed in his heart the Japanese politicians, if it weren't for some guests sitting in the tavern, he would definitely slap the table and curse in Japanese.

Although he did not trust the Australian journalist Morrison very much, Kawashima Naniwa still felt the need to take a risk, describing the battle as a "massacre" in order to muddy the waters and gain some international sympathy for the Japanese government, otherwise the reports of the American and German newspapers alone would have been enough to make the world despise the Japanese.

Japan has always regarded itself as a "civilized country", and the Japanese also call themselves "civilized people", but the riot against the **** residents in the Japanese concession in Hankou is undoubtedly a move by the Japanese to "slap" themselves, and now, Japan's image has become very unbearable, if the propaganda war of the Chinese is allowed to gain the upper hand, then Japan will be completely defeated in this "confrontation".

What Kawashima Nanisu did was only to win sympathy for the Japanese, and he hoped to save some face for Japan through Morrison's report, after all, Morrison's report was notoriously "fair and objective", and the bodies of the Japanese gunmen who were piled up and burned by the Chinese on the banks of the Yangtze River were not fake, and the Japanese "riot suspects" who were detained by the Chinese were not fake.

In the "626 Incident", how many Japanese gunmen died? How many Japanese were detained? Kawashima can't answer these questions. However, he understood a truth, reporters were afraid that the world would not be 'chaotic', and if 100 people died, they could exaggerate that 1,000 people died, 1,000 people were detained, and they could exaggerate 10,000 people were detained.

If all goes well, Kawashima also hopes to put pressure on the Japanese government to come up with a tough policy as soon as possible, confront the Chinese central government, and help the military department take this opportunity to further suppress the cabinet.

Although Morrison did not guarantee that he would report on the issue, Kawashima Nanisu believed that his purpose had been partially achieved, and that he intended to continue to do so, and when his alcohol had passed, he also planned to find French and Russian journalists, and now it was a war, a war of public opinion, and the two sides of the war were the Entente and the Central Powers. Japan, as a quasi-member of the Entente, will rush to the forefront in this war of public opinion, fight with China, and see if it can 'force' China onto the Allied chariot; once China joins the Allied Powers, then Japan will be able to get more powerful support from the Entente Powers, and this support is not only in foreign 'diplomacy'.

Kawashima 'Lang' quickly confidently sketched this wonderful picture of the war, and soon, he drank the glass of wine 'fine', and then. He left this French tavern and walked onto the boundary street of the French Concession.

There are five concessions in Hankow, namely the British Concession, the French Concession, the Russian Concession, the German Concession, and the Japanese Concession, and now the Japanese Concession has ended, leaving only four concessions, which is a bad sign, which means that the Chinese no longer bow to the orders of the foreign powers. Kawashima "Nani" believed that the British would never give up, and as long as Britain united with other powers, China must compromise and "hand" the Hankow Japanese Concession back to the Japanese concession authorities, but in order to unite the great powers, it must occupy the moral high ground, so this war of public opinion must be fought.

Kawashima "Nani" walked down the street so aggressively, fantasizing about a complete victory in the war of public opinion, because of the strength of the wine, he did not know how to turn, and walked a long way unknowingly, until he saw the railway, he found that he had walked out of the French concession, and to the suburbs.

I was about to go back, but I heard the whistle of the train, a military train came from the direction of Hankou Station, it seemed to be going north, this is a train towing a flatbed trailer, dozens of flatbed trailers are generally dragged behind the locomotive, each flatbed trailer is loaded with two large goods, but because the goods are on the "door" with oilcloth, it is not clear what it is, which makes Kawashima "Lang" very curious.

Having lurked in the Wuhan area for such a long time, he also knew something about the military industry here, and he knew that the Hankou railway station had several branch lines, and the special 'door' led to several heavy industrial factories in Hankou, and the automobile factory and tractor factory all had special platforms for loading and unloading goods. The train can go directly into the factory to load the goods, which is both fast and confidential.

So, what kind of cargo is on board this military train? Judging by the soldiers escorting the car, the train must be carrying military supplies, but what is it?

When Kawashima was hesitating to get closer so that he could see more clearly, the military train slowed down and finally stopped, stopping at this remote railway without leaving the village or the store.

"Instigation!"

Kawashima was very excited, so he quickly ran towards the military train, but as soon as he ran less than twenty paces from the roadbed, he heard the sound of pulling the bolt of his rifle several times, and also heard the shouts of soldiers.

"Stop! Don't come close! ”

Kawashima stopped and saw an officer jump out of the train and walk towards him, so he moved closer to the train.

"Stop!"

The officer grabbed a few steps and hugged Kawashima 'Langsu'.

"I ...... I thought about railways. ”

Kawashima 'Nani' deliberately hiccuped, and the smell of alcohol in his mouth did make the officer a little misunderstood, he thought it was just a drunk drunkard who was about to cross the railway.

"Follow me."

The officer did not embarrass Kawashima's 'Nani' speed, pulled him by the shoulder, dragged him to the side of the train, and then pointed to the hook between the two flatbed trailers, which meant that Kawashima's 'Nani' speed passed from here.

When Kawashima 'Lang' stepped over the hook, he glanced at the flatbed truck, but he still couldn't see what kind of cargo was loaded on the truck, but vaguely felt that the outline was a little like that kind of armored car, which the Chinese army used in the battle of the Japanese concession last night, and achieved good results.

But the silhouette of this cargo is larger than that of an armored car, and judging by the almost straightened shock springs under the flatbed trailer, the weight of such a cargo is very impressive.

"Could it be the latest model of armored car?"

Kawashima was very curious, after crossing the train, he pretended to walk to the other side of the roadbed, but did not go far, when he found that the Chinese officer had turned around and no longer monitored him, he immediately looked at a few nearby flatbed trailers, did not find the soldiers standing on the car, so he hurriedly ran back to the side of the train, turned over the flatbed, quickly leaned towards a piece of goods on the car, 'touched' a dagger, cut the rope on the outside of the tarpaulin, and then lifted the corner of the tarpaulin with force, and looked inside.

What kind of monster is that?

Heavy tractor-like tracks, cold and hard steel shells, and a steel tower-like object on the top, and at the front of this tower-like object, Kawashima 'Nani' also saw a 'door' cannon, it was indeed a 'door' cannon, he reached out to the muzzle of the gun and 'touched', 'touched' the rifling in the barrel, and next to the gun, he also saw a barrel.

"Yaga! What is this? ”

Kawashima was very shocked, his instincts told him that this must be a secret weapon, but what it was, he couldn't say, maybe it was a weapon similar to that kind of armored car? But why use the tracked propulsion method? Why does it seem that such weapons have never been seen in the previous Chinese army?

There were too many questions, but Kawashima didn't have time to ponder because he heard the shouts of the officers.

"You! Come here! ”

Kawashima heard it very clearly, and the other party had obviously noticed his "voyeurism", and he knew very well that in this case, the best action was not to stand still, but to do the opposite.

So, Kawashima quickly jumped off the flatbed trailer and ran down the roadbed to the south like a rabbit.

"Stop! Don't stand again, shoot! ”

The shouts of the officers were heard behind him, but Kawashima 'Nan' ran faster.

It's just that no matter how fast a person runs, no bullet can run fast.

"Smack!"

A crisp gunshot sounded, which was just a "shot" to warn of "sex", but Kawashima's "wave" speed did not stop, so the second gunfire followed.

"Smack!"

A bullet passed through the back of Kawashima's head with great precision, and the Japanese spy pounced like a sack full of sand.

Several soldiers ran over and turned Kawashima over at a rapid pace, confirming the lethal nature of the bullet.

"Lieutenant Colonel, he's dead."

A soldier reported to the officer, with no expression on his face.

"Notify the Garrison Command and let them deal with it."

The officer's face did not show any expression, only nodded, and the soldiers all returned to the train and rearranged the piece of oilcloth that had been lifted by Kawashima's 'waves'.

A few minutes later, with a whistle, the column continued north, while Kawashima's body was still lying motionless on the side of the roadbed.

The Japanese spy died here drunk, with nothing to identify him, and for the garrison command, he was an "anonymous", an anonymous man who was killed by "curiosity".

Military law is ruthless, at such times, soldiers have no sympathy, they only have a heart to serve the country, and anyone who threatens military victory will be treated coldly by them.

The pace of war is indeed getting closer and closer.
