Chapter 121: The Chaos in Jinan (7)

When the 92nd Division and the 93rd Division resisted the Japanese army, due to the loss of contact with the headquarters of the Fourth Army, the 7th Regiment of the 40th Army completely carried out the original order set by Jiang Zhongzheng: no resistance, resulting in more than 1,000 people in the regiment being disarmed, and the Japanese army shot hundreds of people on the spot, and Yu was escorted to the Japanese consulate! Jiang Zhongzheng stood up angrily and shouted at the company commander in front of him who was covered with blood and dust: "What?! The Japanese army launched an attack in the city of Jinan?! What's going on?! Make it clear to me!! ”

This company commander was the commander of Fang Zhenwu's guard company of the Fourth Army Corps, and was ordered by Fang Zhenwu to rush to Zhonggong Town immediately after the outbreak of the battle to report to Jiang Zhongzheng, commander-in-chief of the First Group Army, and receive instructions. So the company commander didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and directly explained the current situation to Jiang Zhongzhen. The 34th, 41st, 42nd, and 47th Corps, including the Third Army Corps, have all lost contact with the troops under their command, and the 93rd Division and the 92nd Garrison Division under its command are engaged in battle with the enemy.

"Niang Xipi!! What did my military order say?! It is for the sake of the country not to fight with the Japanese army and to protect the expatriates that no matter what happens to the individual, he must endure it; For the Japanese, absolutely no shots were fired; In order to save a day, even if you kill ten people; If something happens, Japan asks for a gun, that is, it will use a gun, and when it asks to be taken prisoner, it will be allowed to be captured as a prisoner!! "Jiang Zhongzheng" Bang! Bang! Bang! He slapped the table and pointed at the company commander and roared, "Did you listen to me?!" How can you do a conflict with the Japanese army at this time?! You get back to Jinan City right away! Tell Fang Zhenwu that he was removed!! He was removed from his position as commander-in-chief of the Fourth Legion! Let him get out of Jinan City by himself!! Inform all the troops in Jinan City not to resist the Japanese army, arrest people, and ask for guns!! There are also violators of military orders who are shot on the spot!! Do you hear that?! ”

The company commander heard Jiang Zhongzheng's words, and his face seemed to be crying and smiling, and he was stunned for a while before he said slowly: "Commander-in-chief...... Thousands of our brothers have been killed on our own land, and countless people in Jinan have died tragically, do we still have to be disarmed?! Are we still soldiers......"

"National affairs, you little soldier, spicy people know a fart! I am the Commander-in-Chief!! Listen to me! Execute it now, or I'll shoot you first!! Niang Xipi! Get out of here! Get lost!! ”

Seeing this, Jiang Zhongzheng's guards immediately put the company commander out. The commander of Fang Zhenwu's guard company looked sad and sad, he didn't understand why we couldn't fight?! Why are we being disarmed?! By the time he came to his senses, he had been removed from the headquarters by the commander-in-chief's bodyguards. He smiled sadly and rushed back to Jinan City with a few soldiers who followed him, no matter what the news was, he had to report it to Fang Zhenwu.

Jiang Zhongzheng was carried out by the company commander for a while before he regained his breath and shouted outside the door, "Someone." ”

In addition, Tokyo called back: 2,390 people from the 28th Brigade of the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army and special forces have been sent to Jinan as soon as possible! The Cabinet has passed the "Bill on Military Occupation of the Jiaoji Railway" proposed by the Navy and Army Meeting! Hope for the Empire to resist the enemy's attack! I hope you cherish it! In addition, the General Staff Headquarters telegraphed: The matter of Jinan is related to the honor and disgrace of the empire and the strategy of China cannot be sloppy, and it is necessary to make full preparations! The 3rd Division has been ordered to assemble according to the wartime establishment of 15,000 men and reinforce your troops at any time! The Navy has also sent additional fleets to the South China Port of the Yangtze River and Qingdao to support your troops, and you can rest assured that you will do your job! If the southern army advances north, there is a risk that a military solution will be lost, so the order should immediately 'decide'. Chief of Staff of the Imperial Staff: Shoroku Suzuki. ”

"Report complete! Checkmate! "That adjutant" smack! One of them stood upright, and looked at Fukuda Hikosuke solemnly.

Hikosuke Fukuda listened to his subordinates' report and stood up violently! After walking a few steps in the office, he said to the adjutant: "Order all departments to take the entire Jinan City before seven o'clock tomorrow!" In addition, the enemy's 41st Army and 47th Army could temporarily relax their offensive, but they could not be allowed to reinforce the troops in Jinan. Circulate the telegram from Tokyo and the General Staff Headquarters to all ministries! Tell them: the Empire's Glory and Disgrace Strategy is here! I hope you will die for the Empire!! ”

"Hey!" The adjutant bowed respectfully, and when he saw that Fukuda Hikosuke had no other orders, he went down to find the herald to convey Fukuda Hikosuke's orders to the various ministries. After a while, the adjutant came in again and said respectfully to Fukuda Hikosuke: "The division commander, Xiong Shihui, a senior staff officer of the Chinese Army, wants to see him and wants to discuss the situation in Jinan with our army. ”

Hikosuke Fukuda was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled disdainfully: "I ordered Chief of Staff Kuroda to negotiate with him on Monday and told Kuroda that the conditions of our department are: severely punish the senior officers who caused the incident, including the 92nd and 93rd Divisions, the 41st Army, and the 47th Army to immediately stop stubborn resistance; Disarming the troops fighting in front of the Japanese army, including the 92nd and 93rd Divisions and the 41st and 47th Armies, they must immediately surrender to our headquarters; All anti-Japanese propaganda is strictly prohibited; The rest of the Chinese army had to be evacuated 20 miles from both sides of the Jinan and Jiaoji railways; In order to monitor the implementation of various items, the barracks of Zhangzhuang and Xinzhuang were opened within 12 hours. These five items are the basis of negotiation! Tell Kuroda that if Shina does not agree, our empire will start a full-scale war with Shina! Reply within 12 hours! Otherwise China and Japan will enter a state of war!! ”
