Chapter 236: Shock
The defeat of the Southern Front made the fate of Gu Shoufu already doomed. However, even if he deserved death for his crimes, the meaning of this death in the hands of his own people is very different from that of being executed by the Xuebing Army. Moreover, the verdict of the base camp has not yet come down, and Gu Shoufu, as the commander of a lieutenant general division, was taken away by the Cadet Army in the stronghold, which is absolutely an unacceptable shame for the Japanese army. As the commander of the South China Front, Matsui Shigen naturally cannot escape the blame. Rather than this, it is better to directly beat Gu Shoufu to death in the chaotic battle, in that case, although there will definitely be someone who wants to blame Gu Shoufu's death, but at least the reputation will be much better.
Matsui Ishone is calculating, but he underestimates the energy of the "invading Shina troops". The wolf-toothed people are best at engaging in this kind of sabotage operation. Xie Tailuo took a few of his own trained soldiers to snipe the pursuing Japanese led by Hashimoto, they all kinds of means, Hashimoto they chased a street and triggered three mines, and Xie Tailuo hit a military card mailbox from a distance to induce a big explosion, after paying more than 20 casualties, when they cleared the road and pursued again, the target had lost its trace.
The commander of the 6th Division, Gu Toshio, and one of his major generals were captured from the city of Wenzhou, and Rao Matsui Ishine and Okuichiro took many measures to block the communication channels. On the Chinese side, from the central government in Chongqing to various small and medium-sized cities, the official newspaper issued commendations and congratulations, and the people rejoiced and regarded it as another important victory on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, making the New Year of 1940 even more lively. On the Japanese side, the Japanese government's attitude has undergone a earth-shaking change, first covering up and then hyping up Tani Toshio's patriotic sentiments, and turning a war criminal who should have been cut off with a thousand cuts into a national hero who shook the world and wept ghosts and gods.
At the beginning of the Japanese army's heavy siege of Fujian and Guangdong, 90 percent of the people in China, from the top to the people, thought that the Cadet Army would be doomed this time. Among them, there are not only those who are worried about the student army and shouting, but also those who start various arrangements to take advantage of the defeat of the student army. However, as the Cadet Army won three major victories in the area of Shangying and Fuding on the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month, and then the Japanese army began to shrink its forces, those who had ill intentions were stunned and began to play other ideas.
The tragedy of Nanyuan and Shantouzi Village was publicized by the Xuebing Army, and it became known throughout China overnight. At a time when all major forces and people with lofty ideals in the country were criticizing the atrocities of the Japanese army in newspapers and radios, the next day came the news that the culprit of the two massacres, Tani Toshio, had been arrested. Speaking from the heart, because of Matsui Shigen's "cooperation", Xie Tailuo and their operation to capture Gu Shoufu did not experience too many twists and turns. But in the eyes of others, this matter is not simple.
For example, in the basement of a small three-story building in Nanning, three people were shocked by the news at this time. "It's unbelievable, the strength of the wolf fang is actually so strong?" A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, combing his head. "Could it be fake, Ouyang Yun is just asking the world for favor," said a young man with glasses. Another middle-aged man in a long robe said: "There is no need to doubt the authenticity of this matter, Huang Degong and they have confirmed it." Dabentou frowned, and said: "It seems that we have to strengthen the security of the old man, Wenzhou is an enemy-occupied area." And if the wolf's fangs infiltrated Chongqing to carry out a similar operation? That's horrible. ”
Not only in Nanning, but also in many places in the world, many people are discussing this matter. Among them, in Quzhou, Shenyang, Shanghai, Nanjing, and Tokyo, many high-ranking Japanese military officials had a strong sense of crisis after confirming the authenticity of the incident. Gu Shoufu's arrest in Wenzhou seems to be a trivial matter, but it reflects the action ability of the student army. Thinking of the large-scale hoeing and rape operations launched by the Cadet Army in the occupied areas some time ago, and the incidents caused in Shanghai earlier, they could not help but feel like they were on their backs, and then almost overnight, all the important organs and departments of the Japanese army increased their guard strength.
If you want to say which of Gu Shoufu's Wenzhou strongholds was forcibly captured by the Xuebing Army and had the greatest impact on the force, it is naturally the Nanjing Wang puppet regime. Before the arrival of the New Year, Wang Jingwei's guard brigade finally took shape. Therefore, Wang Gang was secretly relieved, who knew that Lu Dao had heard about it just after the New Year. Wang Traitor still has some self-knowledge, knowing that his guard brigade and the elite of the imperial army are not comparable at all, and the wolf tooth can take Gu Shoufu away in Wenzhou City, where the imperial army is heavily stationed, as if he is in a no-man's land, and it is natural to take himself away in Nanjing City. So, since the 11th, people who are familiar with Wang Rape have discovered a strange phenomenon, Wang Rape must hug him every time he goes out, and once it is night, he will never think about finding his person again.
Ouyang Yun made a list to arrest the culprits who caused the tragedy in Nanyuan and Shantouzi Village, but he inadvertently produced such a great deterrent effect, which he never expected.
After Gu Shoufu and Ueda Qinye were taken to Fuding by Xie Tailuo, they were escorted back to Guangzhou overnight. On the night of the fourth day of the new year, the convoy escorting them drove into the city of Guangzhou, and the two were immediately locked up with Qian Jiang Ichiro and Hongsong Motoshima and others.
After Gu Shoufu was imprisoned, the old devil made a request, asking to see Ouyang Yun.
The wolf fangs who were in charge of guarding them reported to Lu Shang step by step, and after the last time, Guo Kui personally went to see Ouyang Yun and informed Gu Shoufu of this request. He said: "The old devil has suffered two consecutive defeats at the hands of our student army, and this time he lost directly to his pants, he must be very curious about where you are sacred, I think you can give a face to satisfy his curiosity." ”
Ouyang Yun scoffed at this and said, "How can I have such idle time. You tell him he'll see me tomorrow. By the way, let's let Kanki Shigetaro and Takahashi Ryoko meet him. And that Reedian and George. ”
"I guess you're not going to see him either. This old devil is an executioner, and he looks like a soldier at all points. ”
"Have the representatives of the 4th Division arrived?"
"When you arrive, do you want them to meet Gu Shoufu?"
"No, their identities must be kept secret."
The 4th Division stayed in Hainan because it was abandoned by the Combined Fleet because of its own lack of courage. And now, the 4th Division has become a strange force in the Japanese army's sequence. So many elite divisions of the Japanese army were defeated in the battle with the Cadet Army, but the 4th Division took root in the southwest of Qiongnan. Major battles broke out almost every week between the division and the Fifth Army, and to the relief of the Tokyo base camp, although the 4th Division had never made progress in a single city or town, they had built Qiongnan into an impenetrable fortress. As a result, the Tokyo base camp postponed the plan to abandon the southwest of Qiong again and again, and the status of the 4th Division also rose, and it gradually became a star division and began to enjoy the treatment of a real elite division.
