On the morning of 20 September, Umezu Mijiro and Akira Muto, who were inspecting the troops in Xinjing, also received a letter from Meng Qingshan, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, sent by telegram from Tada Jun, commander of the 10th Qiqihar Division.

When he heard that this was a letter written by Meng Qingshan, the commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese Federation, Umezu Mijiro was very happy, he thought that the stubborn bandit had finally lowered his noble head and surrendered to the feet of the Japanese Empire, he must have known that the actions of the Kwantung Army to dispatch troops these days could not resist, and he was ready to surrender, and he felt that he had no face and deliberately expressed it in the form of a letter, this group of people was spineless, and what they said at the beginning was crazy, but the final result would overturn the previous ambitions and submit to the Japanese Empire, It seems that I, Japan, am truly the lord of the earth.

Do I accept this Meng Qingshan's surrender form? But after all, this Meng Qingshan has led a group of thugs to give the empire a great loss in more than a year, and it is enough to shoot him 10,000 times, if he is killed, then the mob under his command will definitely rebel again, if he accepts his surrender like this, does it prove that the empire is too merciful to be so cheap for him, but it is best to be able to quickly solve the cancer of Manchukuo and turn this tumor into a powerful pawn.

Didn't you, Russia, support the Anti-Japanese Union to slow down the progress of the empire? Then the empire will also govern its people in its own way. I will use the strength you support to fight back against you, and when the battle between the Anti-Japanese Union and Russia is fierce, the troops that the empire has just formed will also be trained, and when the time comes, we will wipe out the mob and the old Russian Maozi from Manchukuo and Siberia.

Umezu Mijiro opened the telegram with a happy expression, but when it was opened, Umezu Mijiro's face changed suddenly, and the clouds were overcast. The telegram fell to the ground, and Umezu Mijiro slapped one hand on the table and yelled, "Yaga." Damn the Chinese people, the hateful Meng Qingshan actually dared to threaten the great Japanese Imperial Army. I'm going to slaughter you, slaughter you. ”

Muto Akira on the side picked up the telegram, only to see that the content of the letter was:

"Letter from Meng Qingshan, Commander-in-Chief of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces of the Communist Party of China, to General Umezu Mijiro, Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army:

You Japanese people keep saying that you will help East Asia build a plan for the common prosperity of Greater East Asia, but in fact you meet your own needs, and from the time you set foot on the territory of China, there have been bloody storms everywhere, massacring our revolutionary aspirants and innocent people, being extremely vicious, and committing heinous crimes against the Chinese people.

Today, in order to rescue the oppressed compatriots, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army is fighting against your group of invaders, and more than 100,000 Japanese expatriates and hundreds of Japanese soldiers were captured in the Battle of Heihe. Our Chinese civilization, since ancient times, has been to convince people with reason, we can't be like beasts, wantonly slaughter those who have no combat effectiveness and put down their guns, now that you have sent a diplomat Shimomura Nobutada to negotiate with our department about the captured personnel.

1. Major General Hamada Tonosuke, commander of the Sixth National Border Garrison of your country (who was rescued by the Anti-Japanese Federation and ready to exchange money), Major General Tetsuo Tonomiya, and other seven generals and officers, converted into 2 million silver, 50 Type 96 light machine guns, and 30 Type 92 heavy machine guns. 1,000 Type 38 rifles, 100 Type 14 pistols, 1,000 Type 38 75 mountain and field shells, and 2,000 81 mortar shells. 30,000 grenades, 100,000 heavy machine gun rounds, 200,000 light machine gun rounds. 60,000 rounds for rifles and 10,000 rounds for pistols. 200 mules and horses.

2. Tens of thousands of Japanese nationals were captured, and 3 million yuan was converted into silver. 20 tons of various medicines and medical equipment, 160 Type 96 light machine guns, 30 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 6,000 Type 38 rifles, 200 South Type 14 pistols, 3,000 rounds of 75 mountain and field artillery shells, 3,000 rounds of 81 mortar shells, 40,000 hand grenades, 200,000 rounds of heavy machine gun rounds, 400,000 rounds of light machine gun rounds, 200,000 rounds of 38 bullets, 20,000 rounds of pistol rounds, and 300 mules and horses.

3. The 1,300 lightly wounded soldiers captured by your unit will be exchanged for the fighters of the Anti-United Nations held by your unit, and each soldier of your unit will be exchanged for two fighters of the Anti-United Nations. One less, 5 rifles were compensated.

If you are unwilling to comply, our ministry should directly sue the generals and soldiers such as Donggong Tetsuo, as well as the tens of thousands of expatriates of your country, and inform the whole country through the radio, so that you will abandon the notoriety of your subordinates. At the same time, our whole army will also have a large-scale training plan, with their blood to train steel-like soldiers, when the time comes, I will also have a game like your country Gu Shoufu, and then send you a few Jingguan to play, so that you know that those who offend our Chinese will be punished even if they are far away.

If you agree to exchange, before November, the aforesaid money and goods will be delivered to the first line of Suihua, and there will be no time for it to expire.

If you launch an attack on our unit during the exchange, I would not mind inviting Tada Jun, the commander of your 10th Division, to come to our department as a guest, and we can continue to contact them about the exchange at that time.

Don't expect to use force to settle the matter, your every move is under our control, and if you make any move, we will tear up the ticket.

Another: Some of the armies of the Sixth Frontier of your country, who take pleasure in slaughtering innocent people, have done many evils, and the people and gods are angry, and our troops have killed them. Lessons from the past, Mr. Umezu Mijiro thinks twice.

I heard that Xinjing was built very well by you, and I would like to visit it in person. Unfortunately, I was too busy with work and had no time to separate. If Mr. Yoshijiro Umezu does not agree to this engagement, then I will hand over the young and old of your country to Ehoku, and I think Ehoku will gladly accept this group of free laborers. Mr. Yoshijiro Umezu thinks twice. I look forward to it!

Meng Qingshan, commander-in-chief of the anti-Japanese coalition forces in Northeast China.

September 18, 1940. ”

After reading the telegram, Muto Akira was naturally furious! In the office of the recruit training office, his angry voice echoed everywhere: "Baga, this is pure blackmail, naked blackmail!" Despicable! Shameless! Isn't that the Dirt Eight Road in Kannai like this? When did this kind of guy come out. Don't they know the Geneva Conventions? ”

Muto Akira was one of the representatives of the Japanese army, which expanded to the war of aggression against China. He was one of the seven Class A war criminals hanged at the Tokyo Trial in history, and he had the lowest military rank, only a lieutenant general.

Like the vast majority of Japanese generals, this Muto Medal was also promoted along the route of the Army Infant School, the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and the Army University. Unlike other Japanese generals, Muto Akira liked to dance and write in his youth, pretending to be like a literary youth. This also laid the foundation for his long-term work as a counselor in the future.

After graduating from the 32nd Army University with the second grade, Muto Sho was selected to go to Germany to study military affairs, and he was deeply stimulated by the upsurge of the whole German army and military economy, and after returning to China, he began to vigorously advocate waging a war of aggression against China.

This Muto Sho is not big, but the things he does are earth-shattering.

When he was the leader of the fourth squad of the second department of the General Staff Headquarters, Muto Akira was ordered to go deep into the central and southern regions of China to collect intelligence and survey the geography, and came to the conclusion that China was vast and rich, while Japan was narrow and barren, and believed that the way out for Japan lay in occupying China. When he was the chief of the operations section of the General Staff of the Kwantung Army, Muto Akira also led the intelligence collection and analysis of the northeast region, laying the foundation for the Japanese invasion and occupation of the northeast. King De occupied Suiyuan and formed an army, Muto Akira was like a fly that smelled a stench, and immediately stuck to it, instigating the Kwantung Army to fully support King De in an attempt to establish the "Mongol Empire". As a result, Fu Zuoyi led his troops to launch a counterattack, and the battle of Bailing Temple was a great victory, almost capturing Muto Zhang alive who was acting with King De's army.

At the time of the Lugou Bridge Incident, Muto Akira was already the head of the Operations Section of the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters.

After the Lugou Bridge Incident, there were two opinions in the Japanese General Staff Headquarters, and Ishihara Wanji, the immediate boss of Muto Akira, Japan's No. 1 military scientist and director of the First General Staff Headquarters, believed that the imaginary enemy of the Japanese army was the Soviet Union, and that the time was not ripe for the present invasion of China, and that if it fell into the Chinese battlefield, it would affect the Japanese army's strategy for the whole of Asia. However, Muto Akira did not see it that way, and after receiving the report of the Lugou Bridge incident, he was overjoyed, believing that the opportunity for a full-scale invasion of China had come, and that it was necessary to seize the opportunity that China had not yet completed its war preparations to deal a fatal blow to China. The two went toe-to-toe, and the lawsuit went to the prime minister and even the emperor, and the result was naturally that Muto Akira won, and the Japanese army began to fully invade China.
