513 Self-Destruction (I)
Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, with the trend of breaking into the eastern part of the country, there have been many bandits in the three northeastern provinces, which are commonly known as bandits or beards. The bald three cannons are one of the more powerful bandits. The old bandit, with thinning hair and a big belly and two ribbon fish tattooed on his chest, was addressing his sons:
"Brothers, listen to Lao Tzu! If anyone messes with Lao Tzu's business, Lao Tzu will pull his tendons and pick his skin and chop him alive! โ
The bandits didn't dare to come out one by one, and honestly watched the bald three cannons shouting there, the reason was naturally that the bald three cannons were famous, not only ruthless, but also retribution. The fellow who took him to Kanto was killed by him because he didn't agree with him, so he fell into the grass. In just three or five years, this guy has gone from a small minion to a lord of a mountain, and he doesn't know how much blood debt he has. Anyway, his previous boss was slaughtered by him.
All in all, the bald three cannons are not ordinary bandits, they are bandits among bandits, and they are more vicious than white-eyed wolves. What's more important is that he has no discipline at all, and he is mercenary and forgetful, and there is gossip that the reason why this product killed his boss is because he fell in love with his sister-in-law.
Anyway, the people in the Songhua River and Nenjiang River basins hate it to the core, and they can't wait to eat its flesh raw.
However, after all these years, the government has encircled and suppressed more than a dozen times, and Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Dashuai's soldiers have no way to take the bald three cannons when they come. This old bandit is more and more nourishing, and the more he lives, the more shameless he becomes.
"Big brother, this business is a bit of a trick!" Dressed in a black silk gown, the second master with thief eyebrows and rat eyes smiled and whispered in the ear of the bald third cannon.
But the bald cannon didn't care at all. Haha laughed. Touching the round belly. Shaking a broken pu fan, the urn said angrily: "Wealth and danger, our brothers have been in the grass for more than ten years, although they are also fragrant and spicy, they live a good life of eating meat and drinking wine with a lot of money." But after all, it's not a long-term plan. Can we still be bandits for the rest of our lives? โ
The second master hunched his waist and asked, "Big brother, what do you mean?" โ
Bald Sanpao raised his head and said proudly: "Look at Zhang Dashuai, he was just a bandit back then, but now?" Now he is a patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces. It is the well-known king of the Northeast. Our brothers don't talk about being crowned kings and marquises, it's always okay to be a commander-in-chief and a general, right? โ
Hey, the second master took a deep breath and said, "Big brother, this path is not bad, but no one recruits us!" โ
"Why not!" Bald San Cannon sneered, "Didn't the Japanese come?" Let's just do what the Japanese tell us to do, right? Are you afraid that you don't have a background? โ
"But the Japanese are outsiders after all......"
Before the second master finished speaking, he was interrupted by the bald third cannon without hesitation: "What outsiders and insiders?" The emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is still a dog Tartar, and he is not yet enshrined as the lord of the Ming! As long as you win the world, you will be prosperous and rich in your hands. It's not all the same for whom! โ
"This is reasonable," the second master rolled his eyes. He smiled and stretched out his thumb and said: "Or big brother, you have a vision, this Northeast will be Japanese sooner or later, let's serve the Japanese, maybe we can be the founding heroes of the country and be famous for eternity!" โ
This pair of shameless turtles are thinking about good things, but history will tell them that it is impossible to be famous for eternity, and it is obvious that they will be remembered for thousands of years.
Two days later, on the railway line from Harbin to Vladivostok, hordes of bandits were already lying in ambush in the woods, waiting for the bald artillery to give the order.
"Big brother, Mr. Nojiri didn't tell you what kind of deal this is?"
Since the second master saw the cavalry with loaded guns on both sides of the train, and there was some drumming in his heart, he asked anxiously: "What kind of goods need so many guards, and it is a high-headed horse, and it is a quick robbery of a water, what is Maozi transporting?" โ
Bald Sanpao kept wiping his sweat with a towel, he was too fat, and the sweat was like opening the floodgates in the summer, and the waves could not stop, "It's great that it's tobacco or munitions, I heard that Mao Ziguo is fighting, this is probably transported to the front line!" He replied absent-mindedly.
"But that's not the right direction!" The second master reminded, "This is going to Vladivostok!" โ
"You kid has a lot to say!" Bald San Pao was impatient, waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter where it goes, let's just grab it!" โ
A few minutes later, with the sound of a gong, the bald three artillery Erlang jumped up from the forest where they were hiding, brandished their broadswords and spears and rushed towards the direction of the train. But the posture was not like a charge, but like a flight.
"What's going on?"
The conductor, Major Vasilev, looked out of the window in disbelief, but he knew what was on board his train, and according to the orders of the Constitutional Council and the Provisional Cabinet, his task was to safely transport the gold to Vladivostok. These precious funds will be the last hope for the White Army to make a comeback.
"Seems to be bandits!"
Vasilev was surprised by this answer, for the men who were screaming and rushing at him did not look like bandits at all, but rather like a group of hungry ghosts or hanako.
"You mean, they're here to rob?" Vasilev asked seriously.
"Yes, sir!"
"So what are you waiting for!" Vasilev roared, "Shoot!" Fire! Kill them! โ
The gold train was no ordinary train, this one was an armored train, equipped with 76 mm field guns and several machine guns at the front and tail, accompanied by a cavalry battalion. To put it mildly, the bald cannon is not enough to tickle Vasilev.
Sudden ...... Thundered......
As the armored train was in full swing, the brothers of the bald three artillery were thrown to the ground in rows, and the once majestic bald three artillery bandits were completely vulnerable in front of the regular army, and after leaving hundreds of corpses, the bald three artillery escaped with the second wolf Bรจi, who had one ear broken.
"Yaga, these idiots!"
Nojiri Masakawa, who witnessed the bald three cannon tables, scolded angrily, although he didn't have much hope for the bald three guns before, and just used this group of idiots to test the Russians, but the appearance of these idiots still made him quite dissatisfied.
He scolded and chattered: "The people of China are a bunch of waste. They are all sick men of East Asia. You can't do a little thing well! โ
But angry is angry. Nojiri Masakawa did not forget his own mission. The Japanese never intended for the Russians to take away about a third of the total gold. They can only share 15% of their busy work for half a day, so why can a weak polar bear account for a third.
It was only because of the shape that the Japanese were forced to agree to the distribution plan, but at the same time they were also prepared to steal the Russians' share. Of course, it is not possible to rob openly, the appearance of eating is too ugly, and there are too many handles left. So according to the requirements of the Kwantung Army command. Nojiri Masakawa instigated the bald three artillery to attack the forward, taking the gold under the guise of bandit robbery.
Anyway, the Japanese felt that this plan was quite perfect, seized the gold, and finally the Chinese bandits helped to carry the black pot, so that the Russians, Britain, France and the United States could not find any stubble.
Of course, the Chinese bandits will definitely not be able to defeat the Russian regular army, and those bandits who don't even have two shotguns can bully and bully the common people, and the main force really responsible for the robbery is still the Kwantung Army.
"Sue the artillerymen, fire at once!" Nojiri Masakawa commanded proudly with his sword.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
After a series of cannon shots, a burst of fire erupted from the front of the gold train. A stream of flames erupted directly from the front of the car, soon accompanied by the sharp sound of brakes and metal grinding. The train stopped reluctantly.
"What's going on?" Vasilev, while pushing away the guards who were pressing on him, shouted angrily: "Where to shoot? โ
"Major, the bandits have artillery, and machine guns!"
Actually, there is no need to remind Vasilev that he also heard it, if there was no problem with his ears, it was the distinctive sound of the Hatch Kaith machine gun.
"French? No! It's Japanese! โ
Vasilev quickly found the culprit and decisively gave the order: "Let the cavalry attack and disperse the enemy." In addition, to send electricity to Vladivostok, tell them that we were attacked by the Japanese! โ
Vasilev's first order was quickly carried out, and the White cavalry, brandishing their sabers, began to charge, but under the intense sniper fire of the Japanese, the cavalry was unable to advance an inch and was quickly beaten back. As for Vasilev's second order, the first target of the Japanese attack, apart from the nose of the locomotive, was the radio compartment, which was completely destroyed under heavy shelling!
"Abandon the car! Fall back! โ
In desperation, Vasilev had no choice but to give the order to run away, although he was reluctant to leave the gold to the Japanese, but he valued his own life more than gold.
Nojiri Masakawa pulled out his sword and gave the order with great might: "Charge!" Can't let go of a Lucia ghost animal! โ
The bald third cannon and the second master who were hiding in the woods witnessed this scene, and said with a sigh: "It's still the power of the princes!" โ
"Big brother, do we want to fight side by side with the princes?" The second master asked.
Bald Sanpao's eyes rolled, and he smiled and said, "It's still your kid who has a heart, quick!" Gather the brethren and it is time for us to receive the award for meritorious service! โ
Once again, Bald San Cannon led his brothers out of the woods, and one by one they ran more happily than dogs, and almost wagged their tails to show favor to the "Taijun".
"Idiot!" Nojiri Masakawa sneered, pointed in the direction of the bald cannon with his battle knife, and ordered without hesitation: "Kill them all!" Fire! โ
Once again, the bandits suffered a catastrophe, and when the machine guns knocked them down in pieces, and when the shells exploded in their midst, the second leader of the roe deer was still crying: "Taijun! Don't shoot! It's us, it's our own people! โ
The Japanese are never polite to dogs that have lost their usefulness, and Nojiri Masakawa mercilessly slaughtered the bandits, and for him, there must not be a single living mouth. When the bloodied Bald Three Cannons were brought to him, the initiator didn't even bother to look at it.
But the bald cannon was still shouting there without knowing whether he was alive or dead: "Nojiri Tai-kun, Nojiri Tai-kun!" It's me, I'm a bald cannon! I'm doing what you commanded! โ
Nojiri Masagawa walked up to the bald cannon and showed a sinister smile, just when the bald cannon thought that he had picked up a small life, the war knife in Nojiri's hand drew a beautiful arc, and with a pop, the bald cannon was in a different place, and this greedy and stupid bandit died I don't know why.
"Dazuo, Lucia's ghost animals have all been wiped out, and no one has escaped!"
Nojiri Masakawa nodded in satisfaction. Return the knife to the sheath in style. Zhi commanded proudly: "Then what are you waiting for?" Hurry up and clean up the scene and transport the gold away! โ
"Nojiri-san has done his job!" Rihachiro Sakanishi casually handed the telegram to his apprentice Kenji Dohihara, who respectfully took the telegram and read it before handing it to Kuroto Kizo.
"God bless the Imperial Kingdom, with this batch of funds, my Imperial Japanese Army will definitely be stronger!" Kurotto Kizo puffed out his breath and roared excitedly.
Rihachiro Sakanishi and Kenji Dohihara glanced at each other, also very satisfied with the current situation. easily seized nearly half of the gold, and played Britain, the United States, France, and Russia between applause, this feeling is for a devil with extreme inferiority. It's cooler than taking drugs.
Even for a while, Hei Teng Guisan was carried away, and he said, "Do you want to do the same and grab the rest of the gold?" โ
Rihachiro Sakanishi immediately frowned, and Kenji Dohihara also sighed after a short period of thought: "The imperial kingdom can't make too many enemies, so let's accept it when we see it!" โ
The Japanese were ready to take it when they saw it, and they were ready to retreat into their nests with great ambition to taste the joy of victory. But they didn't expect it at all, what they reaped was not victory, but bitter wine that had been solidified!
No more than 24 hours after the incident, the Japanese minister to Russia received a strong protest from the Russian Provisional Cabinet and the Constitutional Council. The Russians accused the Japanese of breaking their promises. Looted property belonging to the Russian government and demanded an immediate explanation from the Japanese government on the matter.
"What's going on?" Rihachiro Sakanishi was furious. He slapped the telegram on the desk of Koichiro Tachibana, the commander of the Kwantung Army, and asked, "Didn't Nojiri Masakawa say that everything was done seamlessly?" Why are the Russians protesting? โ
Tachibana Koichiro is also a second monk who is confused, Nojiri Masakawa is his most trusted subordinate, in order to carry out this operation, the Kwantung Army also selected the most elite and reliable troops, it stands to reason that the Russians have no reason to detect it? And even if it is detected, it can't be so fast, right?
"Could it be that Russia is tempting?" Koichiro Tachibana asked rhetorically.
This possibility is not impossible, and Sakanishi Rihachiro also felt that the Russians reacted too quickly, and they were immediately noticed by the Russians as soon as they succeeded, and it was not normal to look at it. It cannot be ruled out that the Russians are just trying to see how Japan reacts, and if we show that we are at fault, they will bite the bullet.
"Makes sense! We categorically deny it! Kenji Dohihara also said, "Even if the Russians know that we did it, they can't come up with any evidence!" โ
"That's right, the Russians have no proof!" Rihachiro Sakanishi also calmed down, and he said quickly: "So, we not only have to firmly deny it, but also bite back, and we have to protest against each other!" โ
The Japanese quickly found a countermeasure, and fought back against the Russians in line with the principles of thick black learning. But what the Japanese didn't expect was that when they rolled around like victims and asked the Russians for evidence, they were immediately slapped in the face!
The Russians do have proof! Including photographs and videos, according to the Russians, two of their war correspondents narrowly escaped and photographed all the evidence of the Japanese crime.
Even the Russians pointed to Nojiri Masakawa, who was wielding a sword and killing people in the video, and said: "This person is the Great Zuo of the Kwantung Army stationed in South Manchuria, and his name is Nojiri Masakawa......"
In an instant, the faces of the Japanese were swollen, and their previous splashing and rolling and swearings were now an out-and-out international joke. Anyway, the representatives of Britain, France, and the United States smiled from ear to ear when they saw it, and for a while, Kurotane Guisan was embarrassed. In the end, I could only quibble: "The authenticity of the photos and videos cannot be guaranteed at all, these are all fabricated lies." The Kwantung Army has never had Nojiri Masakawa and his people, and this qiฤ is a clumsy trick concocted by the Russian Provisional Government to slander the Japanese government! โ
Of course, Kurotane Guizo can be hard-mouthed in front of outsiders, but after returning home and closing the door, he is only full of anger: "What the hell is the Kwantung Army doing?" I can't do a little thing, and I let the family grasp the handle, Nojiri Masakawa, a guy who has not done enough to do more than anything, should apologize! โ
Rihachiro Sakanishi was also angry, but he knew very well that the most important thing now was not to hold the Kwantung Army and Nojiri Masakawa responsible, but how to find a way to calm things down, the international impact was too bad! Let the Great Japanese Empire lose face!
"You mean return the gold?" Kuroto Kizo asked stupidly.
Syllable!
Rihachiro Sakanishi raised his hand and gave Kurotto Kirizo a mouth, he was angry, Kuroto Kizo What kind of stupid thing is this, isn't it a self-confess to return the gold at this time? At that time, it was not only Nojiri Masakawa who wanted to cut the stomach, but also those who planned the action!
"Death doesn't admit it!" Rihachiro Sakanishi made a decision, "And then pay a certain price to ask the British allies to mediate from it, and turn the matter into a small matter!" โ
While talking about Sakanishi Rihachiro, he sighed, he felt that it was a foolproof good thing, but he was ruined by the idiots of the Kwantung Army, and finally had to spit out some of the fat and ask the British to finish it, which is simply a shame!
However, Sakanishi Rihachiro didn't expect that his so-called foolproof plan was a joke at all, his every move had long been under the surveillance of a certain immortal, how could Li Xiaofeng allow the Japanese to get gold, in fact, this was just the beginning, and he was ready to do a lot of good things, just waiting to see how the Japanese were burned...... (To be continued......)
