Chapter 583: Darkness Chen Cang (2)

Jiamusi City is located in the northeast of Heilongjiang Province, southwest of the Sanjiang Plain, and on the south bank of the Songhua River. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info is the political, economic, and cultural center and transportation hub of the northeastern Sanjiang Province of the puppet Manchurians. The urban area faces Tangyuan County across the Songhua River in the north and west, Yilan and Huanan counties in the south, and Huachuan County in the east.

The Jiamusi area was originally under the jurisdiction of the three surnames of the Jilin generals in the Qing Dynasty. In 1888, the Yilan Flag Office established Dongxing Town on the basis of Zhangfang Street, Jiamusi. After 1905, it was successively under the jurisdiction of Yilan Province and Huachuan County, and was the seat of Huachuan County. In 1930, Jiamusitun was combined with Dongxing Town and named Jiamusi Town.

After the 918 Incident, Jiamusi Town still belonged to Huachuan County. On December 1, 1934, the puppet Manchurians established Sanjiang Province as a new province, and the provincial capital was located in Jiamusi Town. In September 1937, the puppet Sanjiang Provincial Office set up the Jiamusi Municipal Preparatory Office, and on December 1, Jiamusi City was formally established, which was directly governed by Sanjiang Province and was the seat of the puppet Manchurian Sanjiang Provincial Government.

Jiamusi is backed by the Xing'an Mountains and faces the Sanjiang Plain, and since the 918 Incident, it has been an important base for the Japanese army to control the northeast and attack the Soviet Union in the north. In order to better control Jiamusi and serve their so-called strategy, the Japanese not only vigorously built railways, but also turned their attention to water transportation, among which Jiamusi Port was built by the Japanese from a small port to one of the most luxurious ports of that era.

Jiamusi Port, close to the Songhua River, connects to Yilan and Harbin, connects to Heilongjiang River below, and goes directly to the Sea of Japan; Through the Songhua River, it can still reach the middle and upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River and the banks of the Ussuri River, which is convenient for the export and transshipment of grain, timber, coal and other products.

In the twenties of the Republic of China, the waterway passenger and freight transportation in Jiamusi City became increasingly prosperous, and it was already a more famous port in the lower reaches of the Songhua River, but the wharf was still in a natural state.

Since the September 18 Incident, the Japanese invaders have increased their plundering of materials in the Sanjiang area, especially after the completion of the Tujia and Suijia railways, most of the import and export goods in the lower reaches of the Songhua River, Heilongjiang River and Ussuri River have been transshipped through Jiamusi Port. The volume of goods transshipment surpassed that of Harbin and became the largest transshipment port in the middle and lower reaches of the Songhua River. In order to meet this need, the Japanese puppet regime confiscated and occupied the original official and civilian vessels, and monopolized water transportation. In the old wharf of Jiamusi, a Yuan wooden pile wharf was also built. In 1937, the puppet Harbin Shipping Bureau expanded the 456-meter vertical steel sheet pile wharf on the east side of the old wharf of Jiamusi, whose berth could accommodate 15 ships of 800 tons.

Hattori Kotaro looked at the rolling river in front of him, his heart was very excited, he thought that he could only stay in this position for the rest of his life until retirement, but he never thought that Amaterasu would take care of him like this, for the bandit Meng Qingshan who made the empire lose his troops and lose his generals, the whole empire had no way to take him, no matter what kind of plan was cracked by others one by one, this war has been several months long, I thought that the elite of the Kwantung Army could eliminate the anti-union in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect the anti-union to be so tenacious, At first, it took less than half a month for the Imperial Soldiers to successfully force the Anti-United Nations to the second line of Heihe and Sun Wu, and concentrated firepower to launch a fierce attack, but the Anti-United Nations was like a boulder, and there was nothing to do with the wind and rain, and even a division was disabled, and the division commander was also killed on the spot, which is a naked shame, if this bandit could not be eliminated before the year, then the entire military headquarters would be subjected to the entire Kwantung Army from His Majesty the Emperor and His Excellency to the people of the empire, which was sad for the military department. And at this time, he had an idea and decided to use the thief to capture the king, in the past, the military department did not think of the plan to capture the king with the thief, but they all failed one by one, but this time it was different from the past, the battle in front has allowed the Anti-Union to press all the forces up, and now the entire rear is very empty, plus this operation is by water, plus the wing sent out, it is also the Miura Yuki Wing who is experienced in this kind of landing war.

In less than half a month, Miura Yuki came with the good news that he successfully captured the bandit leader Meng Qingshan alive, which made Hattori Xiaotaro greatly surprised, after confirming the authenticity of the information, Hattori Xiaotaro reported to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and held a meeting today, two years ago Maenno Vice Changde forced Xie Wendong to surrender, and finally could be received by His Majesty the Emperor, although Xie Wendong is a military commander, but it is also a false name, and Meng Qingshan is different, two years ago he may not be famous, But now his worth is comparable to the ****** and others in Guannai, and he has caused the greatest harm to the empire, this time he wants to let the whole people of China know that Meng Qingshan was captured by him, he wants the entire Japanese nation to worship him, he wants his name to be passed on to future generations, and he wants his children and grandchildren to be proud of him.

Chief of Staff Tadayoshi Sano has made great contributions this time, and has been promoted to major general by Hattori Kotaro directly to General Yamada Otosan. Therefore, the jubilant Major General Tadayoshi Sanono dressed neatly and with a smile on his face, presided over the meeting.

Seeing that all the reporters had arrived, Major General Tadayoshi Sano spoke: "Dear journalists, first of all, I have been entrusted by the commander of the division, Hattori Shotaro, to inform you of two good news. First, the Imperial Japanese Army conquered Fengxiang Fortress today and annihilated tens of thousands of bandits in the Fengxiang area, realizing the first step in the strategy of suppressing bandits. Second, a few days ago, under the leadership of Major General Miura Yuki, the Miura Wing of the Marine Corps of the Imperial Japanese Army, successfully captured the headquarters of the Anti-Japanese Federation in one fell swoop, and captured alive Meng Qingshan, commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese Federation. At present, the scales of victory on the entire battlefield have tilted towards us. In less than half an hour, our hero, His Excellency Miura, will personally escort Meng Qingshan back.

Since the beginning of the war, the Kwantung Army has not informed the outside world about the battle ahead, because they feel that the strategic goal has not been achieved, and the Kwantung Army has concentrated the strength of several divisions and regiments with great effort. As a result, it has not won a small anti-union until now, and it has also lost troops and lost generals, and has not publicized it. Therefore, the outside world did not know the news of the Kwantung Army's frontal operations. Sano's statement was undoubtedly a heavy bomb. Therefore, the reporters at the scene immediately began to record it in a rustling manner.

Seeing the performance of the reporters, the smile on Sano Tadayoshi's face became even bigger: "Next is the question time, if you have any questions, you can directly ask Lieutenant General Hattori Shotaro." Who says first? ”

The reporter of Japan's Asahi Shimbun Agency in Jiamusi was the first to raise his hand, and Tadayoshi Sano nodded with satisfaction: "This gentleman, please!" ”

The Japanese reporter stood up, glanced at his colleagues arrogantly and deliberately, and then bowed to Hattori Kotaro in the center of the rostrum, and then asked: "Dear Your Excellency Hattori Kotaro, I am a correspondent of the Imperial Japanese Asahi Shimbun in Jiamusi, first of all. On behalf of the readers of the Asahi Shimbun, I would like to congratulate the Imperial Japanese Marines on their remarkable achievements! I would like to ask Your Excellency, General. How many bandits did the imperial army capture Fengxiang Fortress and eliminate bandits? And as far as I can see, the Imperial Empire sent troops to suppress the bandits in mid-June, and now more than four months have passed, so why did it delay until now to hold a press conference? Will the destruction of the Anti-Union Command help the battle situation ahead? Thank you! ”

The Asahi Shimbun is one of the three major newspapers in Japan, founded by Tenshi Kimura and Ryu Murayama, and is known as the Asahi Shimbun. The initial period is illustrated. With the principle of "not being partial or party-oriented," the newspaper's readers are mainly intellectuals. Industrialized management was implemented, and the Asahi Shimbun newspaper in Tokyo was published in Tokyo.

The title of this "Asahi Shimbun" was written by Ouyang Xun, a famous regular script master in the Tang Dynasty of China. There is a reason for this, it turns out that when the Asahi Shimbun was founded in Tokyo, several members of the preparatory committee were calligraphers at that time, and they respected Ouyang Xun's calligraphy, so they found Ouyang Xun's "Zongsheng Guan Ji", from which they selected the three characters of "Asahi Wen" and described them as "fill in the book" with the double hook method, but there was no "new" word in the post, so they used the words "pro" and "analysis" to eliminate the words "see" and "wood" respectively to synthesize the word "new", so that the four full and thin "Asahi Shimbun" four characters became the masthead of the newspaper and appeared in the eyes of the whole of Japan.

Hattori Kotaro was overjoyed to see that the reporters of the Asahi Shimbun, the three major newspapers in Japan, were so cooperative, and immediately said, "Friend journalist, I am very happy to be able to communicate with the vast number of readers of the Asahi Shimbun through you. Let me answer your first question first, in order to block the advance of our empire, the Anti-Japanese Federation arranged four divisions of troops in the small Fengxiang, and we killed more than 34,000 people after the war. The specific situation, due to the problem of time, I will not say more, please readers and friends give full play to their imagination to imagine, no matter how much you think about it, after all, our Imperial Japanese Army is invincible, and our Kwantung Army is also the most powerful and powerful unit in the Imperial Army. For your second question, in fact, as you know, this Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation is composed of wandering gangsters and those who are extremely vicious, they are a non-governmental guerrilla force, and they never stick to one place in war, but no matter how cunning, they can't escape the palm of the empire, but since the man named Meng Qingshan was in charge, this guy is a liar, hooligan, scoundrel and despicable sneak attacker who does not play cards according to common sense, he is simply a bandit, or a professional thief, Robbers and murderers, specializing in undermining social order, always took advantage of the unpreparedness of the imperial army to carry out sneak attacks, causing serious damage to the entire Manchukuo, and also causing many families to be destroyed by him. This time, I will personally escort Meng Qingshan back to Japan, and ask him to apologize to the families of those soldiers who sacrificed their lives! I don't know if you're satisfied with my answer? ”

Without waiting for the reporter to answer whether he was satisfied or not, Hattori Kotaro continued: "There is another problem, that is, I want to tell those bandits who are still undermining social order through the Asahi Shimbun, which covers a wide range of areas, that there is no point in resisting, and that the only way out is to surrender to the imperial army and build a Greater East Asia co-prosperity circle with the imperial army." ”

In the following time, there were reporters asking questions, and Hattori Kotaro answered them one by one very calmly, in fact, this press conference is the propaganda weapon of the Kwantung Army, all the news newspapers were established by the Japanese, and this is simply a forum for people to entertain themselves, their purpose this time is to let the entire Manchukuo and the people in the Guannai know that Meng Qingshan has been captured by the empire, and the Anti-Japanese Federation has also been eliminated, don't resist, come out and surrender obediently!
