Chapter 341: Assassins on the Run Wild (Part II)
Hundreds of meters away from the Governor's Palace, Wu Rui, who was dressed as a miser literati in a Japanese student uniform, squatted on the ground, picked left and right in the vegetable stall and finally pinched a handful of fresh vegetables, and chuckled: "I said Captain Hao, you can't steal this, right?" ”
Hao Wenbao wore a Korean black hat, a short shirt and peasant clothes, an open placket, sitting cross-legged with a long dry tobacco in his mouth, his hands were deliberately covered with mud, even his nails were extremely dirty, and the obvious marks left by the frequent shots on his shoulders were also pasted with a dog skin plaster, as if he had been sprained by carrying a burden. glared at Wu Rui and took two puffs: "Come on, Lao Tzu has been looking for this thing all morning, and I don't know what the Japanese have taken a fancy to this broken place." ”
Wu Rui knew that he was depressed. The hunter has been in North Korea for so long and basically has not made any big moves, in the early days, he has been surveying and mapping the terrain in the northern mountains to spy on the deployment of the Japanese army, and recently he has begun to train the mud legs of the Korean Independence Army, so he smiled and said: "You can't say that, the rotten ship still has three catties of iron." North Korea has been rich in gold since ancient times, and there is no shortage of coal and iron. What's more, don't forget, how can it be said here that it can bring back more than 100,000 tons of grain to Japan every year, or without the replenishment of North Korea, Japan's domestic food shortage will be aggravated, not to mention that many people will starve to death in wars. ”
Hao Wenbao is not Xu Xiujun's group of people who dial abacus beads all day long, so he didn't have the heart to talk to him about this, and asked, "By the way, why are you here?" If you don't go to Vladivostok, how do you get here? ”
The two have known each other since they were in Hubei, but there are few people in the country who know Wu Rui's details. Seeing someone coming over and deliberately slowly taking out the money from his pocket but not paying, grinding and chirping and pretending to bargain, he vividly interpreted a little intellectual who had no money but wanted to eat and drink well, and waited for the figure to pass before he said: "The Japanese side needs a few Korean dead soldiers to help, and this is not just in time for your action." He glanced at the Governor's Mansion in the distance and sniffed: "How many waves have you dispatched this time?" ”
Speaking of this operation, Hao Wenbao seemed to have changed his person immediately, narrowed his eyes, and smiled like a big-tailed wolf to Nunu in the Korean Palace: "9 targets, including the governor, the police station, the Bank of Japan, several important departments of the five thieves, and finally the direction of the royal city Qingyun Palace." ”
"Okay, ruthless!" Wu Rui is not the direct person in charge of the North Korean side, although the level is very high, but according to the empty box theory proposed by Yang Qiu, it is impossible for any field agent to know the plan outside the box he is in, so he only knows that there will be actions but does not know the details. So when I heard about such a large scale, I also laughed: "These North Korean barbarians are ruthless enough, no wonder it says that they want me to find a few dead soldiers." ”
"Is this ruthless?" Hao Wenbao was probably suffocating in the poor ravine, and finally caught someone who could speak, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow night, we will lead a team to attack Pyongyang, and those grandsons will be responsible for digging up the railway embankment." Your big boss can give a death order to blow up at least three railway bridges and dig up seven key roadbeds. As soon as he said this, a man of about forty years old wearing a black hat and three long beards on his chin walked next to him, and he was still carrying a medicine box in his left hand. After seeing the two of them, he didn't dodge or dodge, leaned over and suddenly threw out a paper ball and passed by.
Hao Wenbao quickly picked up the paper ball, opened it and swallowed a long sigh after reading it: "It's confirmed, the drug will attack tomorrow night at the latest, and Li Xi, the old Wang Ba, should also die." ”
Wu Rui knew the doctor, and he dug this guy out to attract him to the Intelligence Department, so he also made up his mind when he looked at his back. As long as there is no problem with the ban on Li Xi, North Korea will really be in turmoil this time. When he was about to get up to leave, Hao Wenbao also stood up suddenly, his eyes were straight, and the corners of his mouth were hooked: "It's started!" ”
Following his gaze, he saw a car driving in front of the Japanese Governor's Palace, and Ueda Arisawa hurriedly got into it with a look surrounded by guards. As soon as the car drove out of the gate, two Korean countrymen came up, and the guards immediately shouted to get out of the way, and the two of them cowered and pulled over in fear. The car slowly passed between the two, and Ueda Arisawa, who was sitting in the car, was thinking about how to fight the guerrillas, not noticing that death was approaching.
"Long live the Republic of Korea."
"Rescue His Majesty the Emperor."
At the moment when the car was about to start gradually, smoke suddenly rose from the corners of the clothes of the two Koreans who looked like untouchables in the countryside, and without waiting for the guards to react, they rushed to the car with slogans, because the incident was too sudden, and the Japanese guards did not expect that someone would dare to assassinate the governor, so before they understood what was going on, the two of them threw themselves on the car door. The sudden action also frightened Ueda Youze's face to change greatly, and only then did he see the gunsmoke from the corner of the other party's clothes, and two violent fireballs suddenly rose.
"Boom."
A full five kilograms of TNT high explosives, not to mention an unprotected car, even the armored vehicles of later generations may not be able to withstand it. The violent explosion not only blew the assassin to pieces, but also enveloped the dozen or so Japanese guards who surrounded him, and the target car was torn apart, with one wheel flying directly into the sky and rolling out hundreds of meters away.
The explosion comparable to the fall of a 150-mm heavy artillery shell made Wu Rui twitch the corners of his eyes, and turned his head to look at Hao Wenbao who was full of excitement: "How many explosives did you load?" Ueda Arisawa turned into slag! ”
Ueda Yuzawa has indeed turned into scum, and this high-ranking Japanese officer, who was promoted to general only two years ago and temporarily became the governor of North Korea on behalf of Terauchi Masatsuki, could never have imagined that the trip to Korea, which he described as a "holiday" before departure, would lose his life not long after it began.
The explosion is the signal! At the same time, dozens of dead soldiers from all over the city rushed into the police station and other key departments, and in just a few minutes, several high columns of smoke rose in the sky over Seoul, and the most unfortunate was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was known as the base camp of Korean traitors.
When a series of explosions shocked Seoul, there were also dense explosions and machine gun strafing sounds in the direction of Wangcheng, Jin Jiu used his connections to disassemble a Japanese-style Type 38 heavy machine gun and transport it into Seoul, and then loaded it on a camouflaged carriage, and attacked Wangcheng with more than a dozen selected outlaws, dozens of Japanese soldiers and policemen who could not reach the city were killed on the spot by heavy machine guns, and the dead soldiers rushed to Wangcheng with explosives bags in an attempt to rescue Li Xi, who was under house arrest.
Although Ueda Yuzawa died, the Japanese army reacted quite quickly, and within a moment hundreds of Japanese troops surrounded from all directions, and when the dozen kilograms of explosives hidden in the cracks under the carriage turned into a ball of fire, Hao Wenbao pulled Wu Rui, pretending to be extremely panicked and disappeared into the crooked city alley.
It's messed up!
On September 12th, the previously almost forgotten assassins in North Korea were rampant! Within a day, dozens of officials, including the Japanese governor-general, were killed by assassins with pistols and bombs, and the buildings of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Foreign Affairs, and Workers and Peasants collapsed directly, and even the most important Korean royal city was attacked by assassins, resulting in the death of more than 30 Japanese soldiers. But this was only the beginning, when the news of the assassins rampaging through Seoul began to be transmitted to the outside world, Pyongyang, which was crucial that night, was suddenly attacked by the Korean Independence Army, and 10 gates had no conscience to bombard the city wall from close range, and it took only a few minutes to open the gap, and the black pressure pressed more than 3,000 soldiers who were about to suffocate in the deep mountains and old forests rushed into the bustling city, and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese foreign companies, rice merchants, coal yards and other institutions that had been reconnoitred in advance.
The loss of Pyongyang led to smoke in the north of North Korea, and the vital Pyongyang-Sinuiju railway was destroyed overnight, three bridges were blown up, and dozens of kilometers of railroad tracks and roadbed were damaged. Without waiting for the Japanese troops in Pyongyang to come with reinforcements, another major news suddenly came out of Seoul the next night. After the sudden death of Gojong Li Hee, who had a good reputation among the people, and the Russian forensic examination found that his internal organs were rotten and he was poisoned, the anger of the Korean people was completely ignited, and they pointed the finger at Japan, believing that the Japanese government had plotted to kill Emperor Gojong.
On the morning of 14 September, more than 300,000 Koreans took to the streets of Seoul to demand that the Japanese government announce the scramble, hand over the murderers, and withdraw from Korea. Corpses littered the banks of the Han River, and more than 3,000 unarmed North Koreans were killed on the spot in just one morning. Later, in order to commemorate this history, this tragedy was also known as the 914 tragedy.
The aftermath of the 914 massacre was unexpected, and it directly led to the outbreak of a huge anti-Japanese independence movement in Korea. Within six months, more than 2 million demonstrators in 11 prefectures and 206 counties across the country participated in riots and protests, and countless Japanese companies and shops were looted and burned. The Korean guerrillas even went out in large numbers to frantically attack the Japanese troops stationed in Korea and the transport lines.
On September 15, Kim Koo, in the name of the commander of the Korean Independence Army, read the "Declaration of Korean Independence" in Pyongyang and announced the establishment of the Korean National Socialist Party in imitation of China. At the same time, at Vladivostok, the Korean YMCA, which had close ties to the Russian Poor Party, also raised the banner of Ahn Chong-geun and announced that it would follow the example of the martyr who assassinated Ito Hirobumi in launching attacks on Japanese targets in North Korea. The day after the declaration was issued, more than 500 YMCA militants calling themselves the Republican Army of Korea (ROA) returned to North Korea in an attempt to seize the opportunity to get a piece of the political circle of North Korea's future.
The violent death of Gojong in Korea was something that the Japanese government did not expect before, and the 914 incident caught Japan off guard, so the Japanese army, which was originally going to be sent to the last fortress of Lushun, had to revise its plan and began to increase troops in Korea. However, when the Japanese 2nd Division was trying to cross the Tsushima Strait from Osaka to reinforce Korea, the 2nd Submarine Detachment, which had been rushing in turn, carried out a perfect ambush at Incheon Harbor and sank two Japanese transport ships that were preparing to enter the port, resulting in the death of more than 1,000 Japanese troops.
On 17 September, after the Shanghai Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group officially delivered to the Navy two self-produced Seawolf submarines modeled after German submarine drawings, the central government of the Republic of China publicly condemned the Japanese army's massacre of poor people in Seoul for the first time, and announced that it would conduct unrestricted submarine warfare against Japan from now on.
On the same day, the 121st Infantry Division of the National Defense Army, which had been in the northwest, also crossed the Yumen Pass and entered Xinjiang for the first time under the pretext of discovering that Japan was supporting the internal division, while the 6th Infantry Division, under the leadership of Wu Peifu, also entered Mongolia, defeated several groups of Mongolian rebels, and openly showed reporters the Japanese samurai mixed in with the rebels and slowly advanced towards Kulen.
Riots in Korea, Wehrmacht enters Mongolia! The storm in the Far East after the Battle of Qingdao seems to be getting bigger and bigger, which makes it more difficult for the British and French governments that are preparing to intervene in the negotiations, and the most unfortunate is undoubtedly Russia, the Sino-Japanese war has not stopped, Korea has fallen into national turmoil again, and a series of small Japanese actions in Mongolia have also led to the acceleration of the Wehrmacht into Mongolia, which is even more impossible to withdraw.
Nicholas II sat on a throne paved with diamonds and gold, thundering.
