…… Simplicity and practicality are the best tactics.

In the face of the Japanese army, which had no armored force and no means of counterattack, the two armored companies of the 103rd Division lost 6 T2 tanks and made a big gap in the defense line of the Datong River in Pingcheng, and the Japanese First Division suddenly fell into chaos. The 1st Division and the 103rd Division, two experienced ace troops, immediately joined hands and plunged diagonally from the gap to the sea, causing more than 20,000 Japanese troops to fall into a desperate situation of encirclement.

Although Lieutenant General Torajiro Nishikawa contracted rapidly and tried to take advantage of the darkness to launch a night attack that the Japanese army was best at, he had to order a retreat in the direction of Nampo after 20 hours of hard fighting in the face of the roundabout and strong attack of the four main divisions of the Wehrmacht, trying to protect the remaining forces with naval guns. There are many corpses with stumps and broken arms, and more than 5,000 Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded along the way. A large number of technical weapons were destroyed and discarded, especially the artillery. By the next morning, the 1st Division of the Wehrmacht had arrived on the outskirts of Pyongyang. The 18th and 20th Divisions of the Japanese Army stationed here immediately launched a frantic attack, they blew up the Taedong River Bridge in the city of Pyongyang, and used the surviving important gates of Kinxiu Mountain as a cover, trying to drag the Wehrmacht to their deaths here.

At the same time, the 8th Division and the 3rd Division of the Korean Independence Army, which were inserted in the direction of Wonsan, encountered the Osaka 4th Division, which had rushed west to support it, at Yangdeok. This unit, which was originally composed of vegetable vendors and itinerant merchants, and who liked to bargain all day long, completely lost the majesty of the Russo-Japanese War, and was beaten by the 8th Division with a night attack, and finally even the Korean Independence Army dared to spread its feet and chase 30 kilometers. Almost caused Wonsan to be in danger. After the threat from the direction of Wonsan was lifted, Qin Zhangshu, Fang Wei and others began to storm the city of Pyongyang. After three days of fierce fighting, almost all the citizens of Pyongyang fled, leaving the north of the Taedong River completely empty. Face this situation. The front command immediately transferred a large number of arson bombs from Anton.

On 7 January, IDF launched the largest artillery bombardment since the start of the war, with a total of 577 artillery pieces of all types taking part. In the fifth and twenty-fourth chapters of the two hours, the bloody case caused by rice! During the shelling, 50,000 arson shells of various calibers were fired. After the incident, the wooden structure blocks on the north bank of the Taedong River in Pyongyang and similar ones in Japan were almost completely burned to the ground, and about 4,000 Japanese soldiers were directly burned to death and tens of thousands were injured. More than 2,000 North Korean civilians were killed or wounded. After there were no civilian houses to obstruct them, the tank companies on the plain terrain played a good role and drove all the remaining Japanese troops to the area south of the Datong River.

"Failed! Pyongyang lost ...... Although the southern bank of Pyongyang was still in the hands of the Japanese army, the Japanese military headquarters also blocked the news. But rumors of defeat at the front still spread wildly across the country like wings. At the Fisherman's Wharf in Himeji, several fishermen sat on the shore muttering, and the gossip they received made them even more uneasy, and many began to worry about their lives and futures.

Koji Komatsu also sat among them, his face seemed to have changed a lot compared to a few days ago, gloomy but with a strange excitement, and his partner couldn't help but ask, "Komatsu-kun, are your injuries healed?" ”

"It's already, thank you Noda-kun."

"It's nothing. It's just that now the food is getting tighter and tighter, and if North Korea really fails, I'm afraid it will ...... Oh, yes. I can't imagine it anymore! ”

Speaking of rice prices. The fishermen and the surrounding workers were enraged, and they were worried about the rations. Instead, Koji Komatsu stood up: "You guys are wrong! Do you think we really don't have rice in Himeji? I tell you, there is enough rice in the rice row to eat until the summer harvest. But why is rice still so expensive? It is because the rice shops and the capitalists deliberately exploit us, in order to feed the army, in order to buy weapons, they deliberately raise the price of rice, use grain to loot the savings and money of our people, and then provide them with food, drink and merry! Did you know? The people of China are now paid as much as we do, but the price of their rice is only 8 jiao a liter! And their peasants all got the land. The land rent is also more than half of that in Japan! ”

"What! 8 jiao a liter? ”

"Komatsu-kun, are you kidding? How can the people of China surpass us in Japan? ”

"Didn't the newspapers say that China was very poor, so we needed to help them revitalize Asia and expel foreigners?"

The people around him didn't believe Koji Komatsu's words, and he didn't get angry, but mysteriously took out a few large photos from his pocket and distributed them to everyone, and the Japanese description behind the photos immediately attracted all attention. When they saw the "Cheng Cheng Act" above, everyone's eyes widened: "Xiao Songjun, is this true?" ”

"Yongshan-kun came and went to China many times last year, and he knows the situation best, so you can go to him." Komatsu refers to Nagayama-kun as a worker for a private shipping company in Osaka, one of the few shipping companies allowed to travel back and forth between China and Japan. can honestly let everyone go to Yongshan-kun, and everyone can't help but believe these words.

Just as Koji Komatsu was about to continue to talk about the Kokusha and the "Chengcheng Act" for everyone, a neighbor hurriedly rushed to him and shouted, "Komatsu-kun, it's not good, go back quickly!" Mitsuko has an accident! ”

"What!" Hearing that his wife had an accident, Koji Komatsu hurriedly ran home, and his friends also followed in the hope of helping. When I got home, I found that Mitsuko had been injured in the head, and there were many injured women and children around her. This tragic scene made Koji Komatsu and his family members angry all of a sudden, and asked, "Mitsuko, what's going on?" ”

When Mitsuko saw her husband come back, she suddenly cried bitterly, and the miserable cry made the surrounding viewers involuntarily secretly frightened. After she finally recovered her emotions and finished talking about the whole thing, everyone understood that after the news of North Korea's defeat had been reported, the boss of the rice store raised the price of rice to 1 yuan a liter, and Mitsuko and many women happened to be queuing up to buy rice, so they reasoned with the boss of the rice store, but they didn't expect the boss to simply stop buying rice, and beat Mizuko and others.

"One yuan and one liter of rice? How can this live! ”

"These black-hearted rice merchants, go! Let's go settle accounts with them! ”

"Drop the price and sell us the rice!"

The crowd shouted and walked towards the meter. Along the way, people continued to join the team, and in the blink of an eye, a huge team of thousands of people was gathered. Except for those who shout to sell rice at a reduced price. There were also many people holding up promotional materials printed with photos of Cheng Cheng and shouting in various accents: "We want Cheng Cheng." We want land, we want rice! ”

These slogans suddenly mixed in made many people inexplicable, but with the rumors and explanations, everyone understood that China, which they had always looked down on across the sea, actually introduced the "Chengcheng Act" that benefited 400 million farmers, and it turned out that people's rice was only 8 jiao a liter, and it turned out that Japan was already backward! The three of them became tigers. The names of Cheng Cheng and Kokusha grew louder and louder, and finally even Koji Komatsu held up a large photo of Cheng Cheng and joined in the shouting.

When this torrent reached the front of the rice line, it suddenly stagnated. Because everyone found that the police were already standing in front of the rice line. Hatsuo Gakiuchi is the captain of the Himeji Police Force, and this time he was ordered by the chief to protect Yoneyuki, and when he saw that these "mobs" were really coming, he was about to make everyone do something but was confused by the photos they were waving. Who is this young man? Is it the leader of these people? "Captain, the person from China in the photo is the promoter of the Chengcheng Act and a teacher of the National Socialist Party of Yang Qiu." No matter how much the news is blocked, there are still people who recognize the man in the photo.

If it was just an ordinary leader, maybe there would be no follow-up, but Hasuo Kanuchi was the captain of the police force after all. In recent years, the words "national society", "society", and "communism" have almost reached the point of rumors in Japan. In particular, after the promulgation of the "Chengcheng Act" the year before last, Japan's top brass was even more panicked, not only strictly banning domestic reporting, but also issuing secret documents requiring local police to supervise. Under this kind of measure, it was finally suppressed, but at this moment, the sudden appearance of the national society, and the appearance of the words Chengcheng Act and the national society, immediately touched the nerves of extremists such as Hachifu in Gakiuchi.

"Arrest them! Arrest these collaborators! ”

Captain Hachisuo Ganuchi angrily brandished his baton and rushed into the crowd, although the officers were more sympathetic to everyone, but the harsh regulations left them with no choice but to wave their batons at ordinary people. "Kill them. Kill these mobs! Seeing this, the boss of Mi Xing deliberately fanned the flames, which immediately detonated a commotion, and the crowd rioted, and some young people immediately set up the police to scuffle, and the scene was suddenly on the verge of getting out of control.

After Hachisuo Gakichi smashed a worker open, he saw Koji Komatsu holding a photo of Cheng Cheng and still inciting everyone, so he was so angry that he raised his stick and rushed towards him. Koji Komatsu didn't pay attention at first, but after being slammed on the back, he turned his head and found that he was the hardest policeman who beat him that day. Hachifu Kanonouchi also recognized Komatsu, who grabbed rice a few days ago, and the enemy was very red when he saw him, and rushed towards him with a loud roar.

The pain, hunger, the beating of his wife, the almost sale of his child, and other grievances and pains made Koji Komatsu forget everything, and after avoiding the baton, he took out the shoddy pistol from his arms. Captain Hachisuo Kanuchi was taken aback when he saw the gun, but because the police were not usually equipped with guns, he stepped forward and prepared to shoot the pistol and catch this "traitor". Crackling gunshots! The rioting crowd suddenly stopped, and everyone looked for the source of the gunfire only to find that Komatsu, who used to be honest, actually held an earthen gun, while the captain of the police team who beat him, Hachisuo Akiuchi, covered his chest, and slowly fell to the ground with blood flowing down.

Silence and tension instantly filled the audience, and no one expected Komatsu to have a gun! You must know that Japan has extremely strict gun control, and ordinary people can't get guns at all. The boss of Mi Xing was the first to react, pointing at Komatsu and shouting, "Quick! Hurry up and report to the army! Someone reversed! ”

This sentence ignited Komatsu's anger again. At this time, there was no way back, so he simply loaded the second bullet without stopping, rushed towards Mi Xing and shouted: "You profiteer, capitalist!" Give us the rice! ”

Seeing this, the boss of the rice shop was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and several guys carrying rice bags were also so frightened that they dropped the rice and ran back. Komatsu grabbed a bag of rice and tore open the bag fiercely, pushed it to the ground, and shouted, "Take it back, take it back!" For our children! Take it back. ”

The snow-white grains of rice irritate all the eyeballs and destroy the last of sanity. Fear and worry instantly drowned in hunger and poverty, and countless hands began to rush towards the rice bag. The police were also anxious when they saw that the situation was not good, and they blew sirens to try to arrest Komatsu and others. Then the gunshots rang out again, and in less than a moment they were all filmed! The policemen were beaten by more than a dozen pistols that appeared out of nowhere, and the out-of-control crowd smoothly rushed into the rice store, and bags of rice were snatched out, and the whole family of the black-hearted rice store owner was killed, and the body was thrown on the road and no one cared about it.

It's messed up! It's a complete mess!

As a slogan, shortly after the rice riots in Himeji, rice grabs also appeared in Kobe, Osaka, and other places not far away. The pistols that appeared out of nowhere opened a huge commotion, and the Japanese peasants and workers who had been blackmailed and exploited could no longer stand it, and tens of thousands of people rushed to the rice shops and factories in various places, holding high pictures of Cheng Cheng, shouting the "Cheng Cheng Act", and shouting the name of the national society!

On January 9, 1920, one of the worst riots and riots in Japanese history, involving tens of millions of people, began. It was also on this day that the "Chengcheng Act", which was born two years ago for unresolved domestic problems, became a powerful tool for export...... To be continued) rq!!
