In the Japanese headquarters in Qiqihar, Tada Jun, commander of the 10th Division of the garrison commander, proudly waved the telegram in his hand and said to Major General Kotaro Miura, Major General Shigero Fujii, and Major General Anan Dekang in front of him: "The intelligence department has successfully assassinated Meng Qingshan in this operation, and His Excellency the Commander has instructed us to cooperate with Miss Kawashima, who is lurking in Nenjiang County, to eliminate the headquarters of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army and the headquarters of the Third Division of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance. ”

Major General Shigero Fujii, the oldest, cautiously raised his doubts: "Is the content of this telegram true?" We have fought with the people of China several times, and with the vigilance of the other party, it is impossible to be assassinated so easily, not to mention the leader of the thieves named Meng Qingshan, could it be that the people of China have made a plan to induce us to attack, and their troops have already set up traps waiting for our arrival. ”

"Fujii-kun's news is absolutely true, this was sent to us by the headquarters personally, not to mention that in order to successfully assassinate Meng Qingshan, our number one enemy in Manchuria, the head of the Nanzao Section and all the intelligence officers of the Nenjiang Division were all shattered."

Fujii Shigero nodded in contemplation for a moment and said: "This is possible, since Meng Qingshan entered that Meng Qingshan fought from South Manchu to North Manchuria, I have never heard of any famous generals under him, and his fall will cause the Anti-Union Dragons to be headless and unprepared." It seems that we should have prepared for an early attack on North Manchurian to recapture the northern part of Longjiang. ”

"Hahaha!" Exaggerated laughter erupted, and the tense pre-war atmosphere suddenly relaxed, no wonder these days, there has been no guerrilla activities of the Anti-Japanese Union, and it has turned out to be a frightened army that has lost its backbone and is stumbling like a headless fly.

Kotaro Miura, who had experienced several major battles and was physically and mentally traumatized, hated the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army that caused him to lose his troops. He said hatefully, "Your Excellency, has the headquarters instructed us how to cooperate with Miss Kawashima?" ”

"This is going to bother Anan-kun."

"Commander, please command." Hear calling yourself. Anandkang, who was on the side, stood up and said.

"Major General Anan, you immediately set up a sabotage assault team and a special advance killing team, and the task of the advance team is: to go deep behind enemy lines to capture enemy leaders (Zhou Baozhong, Cui Shiquan, Li Yanping, Yang Jingyu, etc.). If they fail, they should also disrupt the enemy's command center, report the direction of the enemy's main retreat, and discover the enemy's munitions before they hide them. The advance team consisted of an elite group drawn from each of the four wings of the 10th Division and a group of Jing'an troops, with lieutenants Mashiko Shigeo and Okawa Momoyoshi as captains, and 100 soldiers were selected from each wing. The Mashiko team was subordinate to the 113th Wing, and focused on rushing to Nenjiang County to cooperate with Miss Kawashima to destroy the headquarters of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, and assassinate Yang Jingyu, deputy commander-in-chief of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, Cui Shiquan, chief of staff, and Zhou Baozhong, political commissar; The Dachuan Brigade is subordinate to the 124th Wing, and the focus is on sabotaging the military institutions of the Anti-Japanese Federation, such as arsenals, hospitals, weapons warehouses, etc., and when you enter the base area of the Anti-Japanese Federation, you can use the radio and Kawashima ********, and then she will tell you the combat objectives. Wait a while to go to the chief of staff to get a photo of the head of the headquarters of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces and a resume, you have to print thousands of copies of these photos and distribute them to each soldier who fights, so that they will recognize the head of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces as soon as they see him. ”

"Major General Kotaro Miura, Major General Shigero Fujii, you two will lead your troops, and in three days, launch an attack on Yangjiadian, Keshan, Kedong, Fufu, Yi'an and other places. Let their rear air defense be weakened in order to win for Anandkon's forces. ”

After the taciturn Anand Dekang received the order, he thought about how to take advantage of such a good opportunity to cooperate with the main force to complete this big operation. He asked Tada, who was full of joy, "Hai! Your Excellency, Commander, then I will go down and form my troops. I wonder when we're leaving? ”

One sentence brought Tada Jun back to reality, and immediately ordered: "The sooner the better, Anan-kun, you only have three days." Regardless of how the three days are formed, you all have to go. Because the fighter plane is in an instant, we have to grasp it. to achieve victory. ”

"Hello! Please rest assured, Your Excellency, that I will successfully complete this mission and wipe out the headquarters of the Anti-Japanese Union. ”

Tada Jun nodded with satisfaction when he heard Anan Dekang's assurance: "Okay, gentlemen, the main force to eliminate the North Manchurian Anti-Japanese Federation is here in one move, please organize the troops well, bravely attack, and be sure to completely annihilate this big tumor." Please! As he spoke, he bowed down to a few people and thanked them, and several people also hurriedly bowed in return: "Hey! ”

After sending off a few of his subordinates, Tada Jun walked out of the headquarters and went to the barracks of the 13th Division of the Jing'an Army, which had just been composed of Taiwanese and Koreans, outside the south gate of Qiqihar. A group of Japanese veterans were whipping the Manchurian soldiers sitting on the ground with their belts, and the laziness, fragility, and cowardice led to their poor constitution, weak will, lack of initiative and aggression.

Although this group of soldiers are all second-class people who have been educated by the empire for many years, but the group of soldiers in front of them is very disappointed by Tadajun, this group of soldiers may be weak due to the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, and they do not have the qualities that an imperial soldier should have, on the other hand, the group of Japanese veterans who have retired, they are all old veterans who are still energetic and tenacious, and these Manchurian youth, Taiwanese youth, and Korean youth in their 20s are extremely weak, and the troops immediately lie down as soon as they stop. He shook his head.

Speaking of which, this unit of the Jing'an Army was born shortly after the September 18 Incident, due to the limited strength of the Japanese army at the beginning of the war, the Kwantung Army staff officer Komatsu Mitsuo Shaozo went to Lushun, where the Japanese gathered, to mobilize Japanese students and veterans to arm themselves to cooperate with the Imperial Army to maintain local law and order, but I did not expect that the adventurous actions of the Kwantung Army inspired the dedication of these young people, and more than 3,000 people gathered at once.

The Kwantung Army issued them weapons and equipment, and appointed retired army major and Kwantung Army secret agent Wada Jin as commanders, under the direct command of the Kwantung Army. Many of these 17 or 8-year-old Japanese youths wore Japanese military uniforms and red armbands on their arms, and participated in the battles to suppress the anti-Japanese volunteers in various places in the early days of 918, and traveled all over the three eastern provinces, making great contributions to stabilizing the situation in Manchuria.

In order to preserve this glorious force, the Kwantung Army allowed Manchurian youths to join the Jing'an Army, and sent a large number of Japanese retired soldiers to serve as commanders at all levels, participating in the battles of Rehe, Songhu, and the occupation of Nanjing. Although there were gains, the record was mediocre, and he was sent back to Manchuria and stationed in Jinzhou.

On March 4, 1939, the Kwantung Army occupied Chengde, and on May 31, the Tanggu Agreement was signed. Then the Japanese army occupied a line of areas in the eastern part of the Great Wall, cutting off the land connection between North China and Northeast China, and isolating the anti-Japanese forces in Northeast China. In June after the end of this operation, the Japanese army and the puppet army adopted the tactics of clearing and suppressing the entire northeast with a high degree of dispersion and division, and concentrated all forces and means in an attempt to extinguish the anti-Japanese forces in the northeast in one fell swoop. At the same time, the Kwantung Army was embarking on a major cleanup of the puppet army. At the end of this year, after Major General Sasaki served as a senior adviser to the puppet Manchurian military and political department, he assisted Tada Jun and Itagaki Seishiro, two top advisers, to rectify the puppet army.
