Chapter 256: The Shanghai Incident

Longteng's plundering behavior in Rehe did not cause any criticism, since the occupation army naturally has this kind of qualification, it is not normal to do so, although the Japanese did negotiate this kind of behavior in the negotiations, especially the ownership of those railways, not to mention that the profit of a year of the Bac Ninh railway alone is very considerable, not to mention Ye Chi and Chengjin.

"Didn't your army do the same when they occupied these places?" Boss Yang said with a smile.

Hidaka Shinrokuro held back for a moment and then said: "But the Chengjin and Yechi railways are the assets of the Manchurian Railway, and since peace has been restored between the two sides, it is natural that these two railways should be returned to the Manchurian Railway."

"That's good, the Manchurian Railway will first return all the proceeds of the Bac Ninh Railway to our country over the years, plus 50 percent of the compensation, and then pay the fine for building these two railways without our permission, and you don't need to give ten tons of gold to mean it, although China and Japan are friendly neighbors with a strip of water, but it is better to calculate the money clearly." Yang Feng drank tea and said very leisurely.

Hidaka Shinrokuro was so angry that his face turned a little blue, but he could only be helpless, he knew that there was no reason to talk about Yang Feng, and there was really no room for manipulation in this matter, whoever robbed it in these years was who's, this is the rule of the game, he was just under the pressure of Man Tie, so he had to come over to negotiate this issue.

"Your Excellency, we are all smart people, no one will spit out the meat in our mouths, negotiate, protest against this kind of trick played by the weak, don't take it out and laugh generously, if you have this time, you might as well go back and think about how to snatch them back from my hands again." Yang Feng said with a look of disdain.

Just as he and the Japanese were negotiating an armistice in Peiping, good news finally came from the Soviet side, and Joseph agreed to his plan for the retreat of the Anti-Japanese Union. However, it is understandable that after the Anti-Japanese Union retreated to Vladivostok, it must hand over the weapons in its hands, and it is inconceivable in every way that a foreign armed force, which is equivalent to a group army, can openly travel thousands of kilometers in its own country.

In this matter, the Soviet cadres bribed by Yang Feng played a huge role, and Bryuhel had already submitted his own response plan to Joseph. But Joseph, induced by numerous cronies around him, and the exhaustive analysis of Mehris, his most trusted man in the Far East, finally rejected Brucher's plan.

In this way, Yang Feng's biggest problem was gone, and he soon reached an armistice agreement with the Japanese, and then the Anti-Japanese Federation began to retreat to Vladivostok in batches, and then handed over weapons to the Soviets, and returned to China through Outer Mongolia as a refugee.

Of course, a truce does not mean peace, to put it bluntly, it is just a matter of recuperating strength and waiting for the next round of fighting, and neither side has relaxed its vigilance in the slightest. On the southern front, the coalition forces took Jinzhou as the core and built a series of reinforced concrete fortresses on the south bank of the Daling River, stretching from Jinzhou to Yixian.

The middle road was in Fuxin, and a division was stationed in each of the small Kuluns, and the northern line continued to improve the Kailu fortress, and at the same time as expanding the two highways from Jingpeng to Kailu and Chifeng to Kailu, the railway from Chengde to Chifeng was also started. In addition, the rest of the Chengjin Railway was continued to be built, and the Japanese were preparing to build it all the way to Gubeikou. Yang Feng wants to continue to build south to Beiping, this railway is invested by Longteng Company, anyway, those old warlords have made enough oil and water this time, and they will not care about this investment at all.

As for the Japanese, they were doing a big job, all the way to Shenyang on the west bank of the Liao River. Trenches were being dug everywhere, and although the jade was broken, Tani Shoufu left a good legacy for Ryokari Takashi, and the only time in the entire battle was that the armored assault group was blocked. It was the anti-tank road in Huludao, so now the Japanese army has learned this trick.

Lingkari Long wanted to use anti-tank Hao to enclose Beizhen, Panjin, Tai'an, Liaozhong, Xinmin, Liaoyang, and all these cities on the outer defense line of Shenyang, and at least three circles, and then connect all the rivers in the outer periphery of Shenyang with a canal dug by hand, forming a 10-meter-wide and two-meter-deep circular water network.

As for the previous linear defense line, this one is no longer played, and is replaced by small, anti-tank gun as the core of the ring fortress, these fortresses are all over the communication arteries from Jinzhou to Shenyang, and in order to effectively deal with Yang Feng's tank, the Japanese army began to urgently develop a larger caliber of four or seven millimeter anti-aircraft guns, as well as anti-tank grenades and explosive vests that are more suitable for the front team.

"Self-taught? I actually learned to play big depth. Ling Karaton's transformation made Yang Feng a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect to force this guy out of the big depth, not only has a big depth, but even a Dutch fortress, this is also a talent.

"Next time it won't be so fun." Looking at the circular fortresses of the Japanese army marked out on the map according to intelligence, Wu Gang, the commander of the Second Armored Brigade, said with a sad face

After the end of this campaign, under the unanimous request of the internal, Yang Feng also carried out a large-scale reorganization, although the name of the Pingjin Security Division is still used externally, but the following brigades are already a little too much, a mountain brigade, two mechanized infantry brigades, these two brigades have also begun to be equipped with heavy Tiger tanks produced in Beiping, in addition to a simple version of the armored car, in fact, it is an armored transport vehicle, the tractor factory itself with the power system of the Tiger tank, plus a larger bulletproof shell outside, Add a semi-open turret and a large-caliber machine gun on it, and a car can hold a squad of infantry.

Then the armored assault group was divided into two, and then with a part of the Tiger tanks, organized into two armored brigades, the original peacekeeping force stationed in eastern Hebei, it is very inappropriate to call this name again, and this part of the people under Lao Lin has always been trained according to the standards when he led the special brigade, and because of the station, usually more activities in the water network area, simply changed to an amphibious combat brigade.

In addition, based on the original special brigade, an airborne brigade was officially formed, and one division could be made into seven brigades, and Boss Yang was relatively shameless.

"There is a hairy use, this kind of ring defense is really not good, but the question is where are they built, as the aggressor himself, he encircles himself with the aggressor who is full of hatred, I really don't know what Lu Daoling Karakami thinks? One day I wanted to beat up the army and throw tens of thousands of black powder grenades directly into their lines. I guess we don't have to do it, they'll be done on their own. Boss Yang said with a wicked smile.

Just as he and his subordinates were discussing Ryokarataka's new tactics, a gunshot suddenly sounded in a Japanese restaurant near Hongkou Park in Shanghai, and then in the stunned eyes of pedestrians outside, two young men wearing Chinese-style stand-up collars rushed out of it, and then quickly disappeared into the crowd on two bicycles outside the door. Before leaving, one of them took out a handful of paper from his arms and threw it on the ground, followed by a middle-aged Japanese man in a kimono stumbling out holding his stomach, shouting in Japanese as he ran: "Help, murder!" The Chinese have killed people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of Japanese patrols came out of nowhere, and they did not immediately send this guy to the hospital, but impatiently asked where the murderer was, and the Japanese spoke a few words intermittently in a weak voice, and then finally fainted with satisfaction.

That same evening. The Japanese consul general in Shanghai urgently called on Yu Hongjun, mayor of Shanghai, claiming that Ichiro Ono, a Japanese expatriate in Shanghai, had been shot by two Chinese in his restaurant and had died an hour earlier. At the same time, all unfriendly groups in Shanghai against Japan were banned, and such things were guaranteed to happen again. Otherwise, the Japanese Government will increase its troops in Shanghai to protect the security of Japanese nationals by force.

"Everyone, everyone, do my brother a favor, and find out who did this? Now that the Japanese are aggressive, I don't think you want Shanghai to become a battlefield again, right?" Yu Hongjun, who looked aggrieved, said to a group of Shanghai bigwigs who were invited.

"Then what else is there to check. It happened in Hongkou, and the Japanese themselves didn't protect their own people, so they can't rely on us?" Yu Maoren said with a funny face, his current identity in Shanghai is also on an equal footing with Du Yuesheng and others, considering the terrifying god behind him. Even these people had to be a head short in front of him.

"Boss Yu, but the problem is this thing." Yu Hongjun reluctantly handed him a poorly printed leaflet.

"What's the point of this thing? Anyone can get a mimeograph machine and print thousands of copies by themselves. Yu Maoren said disdainfully.

"Brother Yu's words make sense, and no one has ever heard of this Yanhuang Anti-Japanese Regiment, even if the Japanese make it up themselves, it is not impossible, looking at it like this, they are trying to find fault." Du Yuesheng next to him looked at the flyer and said.

Yu Hongjun said in his heart, you think I don't know the way? But now that the above is urging me to quickly find out and block the Japanese back, what can I do? How could it be possible to find such two people in Shanghai 24 hours a day, and besides, if they go to the concession, where can I check?

"Did they direct and act on this?" Yu Maoren said suddenly.

"Possibly, didn't they do that last time?" Du Yuesheng immediately said with great sympathy.

The two of them really guessed right, because at this time, the two so-called Chinese anti-Japanese elements, as well as the dead Ichiro Ono, were sitting together on a Japanese warship on the Huangpu River drinking!

"Ono-kun, there's nothing wrong, right?" One of the anti-Japanese activists asked Ono with a concerned expression.

"Nakajima-kun, your skills are so superb that the bullet didn't hurt any internal organs, just punched a bullet hole on both sides." Ono said with a thumbs up.

"Nakajima-kun is also a top student of the School of Medicine of Northeast Imperial University, and this little thing is still nine times out of ten." Sister Kawashima, who hadn't shown up for a long time, said with a smile, and then she turned her gaze to the commander of the Third Fleet next to her, Shiro Kawako, and said, "General, it's up to you next."

Lieutenant General Kazukawa stood up with his arms around her waist and walked to the window together, Sister Kawashima, who was dressed in men's clothes, looked like a pair of glasses with him, and then saw Kazukawa raise the wine glass in his hand with an intoxicated expression, and said in a tone like yin's wetness: "Please see the gift I gave you."

At the moment when his words fell, he saw a flash of fire under the bow of the Third Fleet's flagship Tokiban, which was also moored on the banks of the Huangpu River, not far away, followed by an explosion not much stronger than a grenade.

Just like seeing fireworks, Kawashima-san sister couldn't wait to let out a cheer.

While she was cheering, Yu Hongjun, who was talking to the same gang of bigwigs, was so frightened by this sudden explosion that he stood up suddenly.

"Where to put the salute?" With a hint of anticipation, he asked the secretary who had hurried in.

"Mayor. The explosion of the Japanese Third Fleet's flagship Tokiwa on the Huangpu River is not yet known. The secretary's words shattered his illusions completely.

Within an hour, the Japanese Consul General in Shanghai and the Commander of the Third Fleet and Shiro Kawakoshi came to the door in a menacing manner.

"Your Excellency Mayor, my flagship was attacked by anti-Japanese elements in your country, resulting in more than a dozen soldiers killed and wounded, and this is the evidence they left at the scene!" With a murderous face, he put a strip of cloth with the words "Resist Japan and Kill the Enemy" in front of Yu Hongjun.

Just when Yu Hongjun wiped the cold sweat on his head. He continued: "Your Excellency Mayor, you are limited to hand over the murderer within 24 hours, compensate us for our losses, and publicly guarantee that similar incidents will not happen again, otherwise we will not rule out retaliatory actions, including the shelling of Shanghai."

"General Jichuan, just such a strip of cloth can prove that we Chinese did it, you are too ridiculous, right? Besides, the explosion just now doesn't even have to blow up my car. Don't you think it's a bit strange that your armored cruiser of more than 10,000 tons actually suffered more than a dozen casualties?" On the side, Yu Maoren came over and said with a smile.

"Mayor Yu, I am making official representations with you, may I ask what position this gentleman holds in your government and whether he has the right to speak on your behalf." He Kagawa Koshiro didn't look at Yu Maoren, but said to Yu Hongjun with a proud face.

"General Jichuan, your conclusion is too arbitrary, and such a strip of cloth alone cannot prove anything. I suggest that it is better to first go by the naval departments of the two countries, and the United States in Shanghai. The navies of Britain and France have formed a joint investigation team to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the explosion of the Joban, and if it is concluded that it was indeed the work of our people, then I think that the Nationalist Government will give you an explanation. I am only an administrative officer in Shanghai, and you are an officer of the Japanese Navy, and we have no right to negotiate this matter alone. "Yu Hongjun is now simply out of his mind, how can he play theory and Kawakoshiro can play with the top students of St. John's University.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Mayor. This incident has already caused great indignation among our officers and soldiers, and now there is a great deal of emotion in the army, and if it drags on too long, it will cause even greater consequences, so I have this as my most urgent ultimatum to you, and if you cannot give me a definite answer in twenty-four hours, I dare not guarantee that the angry soldiers will not do something regrettable. Kagawa Koshiro sneered and said, after speaking, he was rude to Yu Hongjun, and left arrogantly with the Japanese consul general in Shanghai.

"Ma, these little Japanese are too deceitful!" Yu Hongjun, who has always been gentle and elegant, was so angry that he slapped the table directly, and now the matter is very clear, the Japanese are deliberately provoking trouble so that they can give them an excuse to go to war, which is no longer something he can handle.

Yu Hongjun was not a fool, and hurriedly reported to Nanjing, and ordered the two security regiments under his command to deploy near Hongkou to prevent the Japanese army from raiding Shanghai.

"Boss Yu, you have to help this time." He said to Maoren very bluntly that the total strength of the Japanese Marine Corps in Shanghai was a multi-wing, and it would definitely not work if the two security regiments in his hands really fought.

Now the nearest Chinese army to Shanghai is also outside the city, if it can't arrive for reinforcements in a short time, then it will have to rely on the Jinyuan security team, which is the elite of Yang Feng's reinforced battalion.

"In a word, it is my duty to do this, I don't need to ask Mr. Yang for such a thing as beating the Japanese." Yu Maoren said with a generous face, of course, after all, he ran back and directly dialed Yang Feng's long-distance phone.

What happened in Shanghai confused Yang Feng, he really can't understand the behavior of the Japanese now, the north has just ceased war with himself, and immediately started a war against the bald guys, so why did they bother to bury the elite of three divisions in vain?

He didn't know that the Japanese were actually preparing to fight the bald guy from the beginning, but in order to avoid going to war with the bald guy, he ran to join in the fun, so the Japanese wanted to rely on their own strength to be strong enough to teach this thing a hard lesson, not to mention eliminating him, but at least to force him to stay in Beiping honestly, and at the same time quickly clean up Tang Juwu, so as to scare Joseph, lest he take advantage of the fire to rob.

Who knew that Lu Dao not only did not succeed in teaching a lesson, but was torn off a piece of meat from them by Yang Feng, but fortunately, it was also tested that Yang Feng did not have much initiative, especially the fact that Yang Feng took the initiative to let the Anti-Japanese League retreat, which made them feel that the goal of deterrence had been achieved, and now that the Japanese army in the Northeast is also heavily armed, Yang Feng will definitely not have the ability to help the bald guy even if he wants to.

In addition, the number of bald armored divisions and Thunder fighters of the Air Force is increasing day by day, and it will be even more difficult to fight if it drags on, and the development of Shanghai's industry in recent years has posed a huge threat to the Japanese economy, and Nanjing is getting closer to the United States after the issuance of legal tender, all kinds of factors add up, and the Japanese finally can't wait. (To be continued......)

PS: My poor Junding, at this rate, I really don't know how long I can hold out
