Jin Zhao glanced at the three of them, sighed helplessly and said, "It should be!" For a while, the little devils are constantly tossing in North China, just to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and then take the opportunity to invade our China, we have no way out, and the war is about to break out! ”

The three of them couldn't help but show a shocked expression, they all knew that Jin Zhao's prediction was that a full-scale war would break out between the two countries in three to five years, but it had only been two years since Jin Zhao said the prediction, and they didn't expect the little devil to be unbearable.

Jin Zhao pretended to smile relaxedly, "You don't have to worry, even if the little devils don't come to beat us, we will fight them sooner or later!" There is already an undying enmity between us and the little devils, and sooner or later there will be a fight! It was only a matter of time before war broke out. ”

Liu Feifei and Zhou Ping couldn't help but nodded, and Zhou Ping, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke, "Meng Bo! Can we win? ”

"Of course!" Jin Zhao nodded affirmatively and said, "I said a long time ago that this is only a small country, with poor resources and limited war potential. Although their military strength is much stronger than ours now, as long as we Chinese people can unite and unite with the outside world to block the first round of attacks by the little devils, the weaknesses of the little devils will gradually be exposed, and as long as we can persist in the war of resistance, victory will eventually belong to us. ”

What Jin Zhao didn't know was that on this very day, July 3, 1937, Hideki Tojo, then chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, proposed to Masaki to immediately strike at Huaxia and force the Nanjing Axe to surrender in order to realize the so-called mainland policy.

The next day, Jin Zhao sent another report to Lao Chiang, asking Lao Chiang to approve the Seventh Route Army to go north and increase troops in North China to prevent Yue Ben from causing trouble in North China. However, Lao Jiang decisively rejected Jin Zhao's request, Lao Jiang's reason is very sufficient, now the situation in North China is unstable, and he cannot rashly increase troops in North China at this time to stimulate the capital. But what Lao Jiang thought in his heart was that Jin Zhao's increase in troops in North China had ulterior motives, and if Jin Zhao's troops gained a firm foothold in North China and were connected with Li Long's headquarters in Chadong, it would be another piece of henchmen, and Lao Jiang naturally did not want Jin Zhao's power to gradually grow. Although at the time of the Fujian Incident, Jin Zhao and Jin Zhao had reached an agreement that they could not prevent the Fujian army from going north to resist, but it was difficult to guarantee that Lao Jiang would not secretly make a stumbling block, after all, Fujian was thousands of miles away from North China. The central government could find a lot of reasons to stop the Min army from going north, so without Lao Jiang's consent, Jin Zhao did not dare to rush north.

Time finally rolled to the day of July 7, 1937, and Captain Setsuro Shimizu, the captain of the 8th Squadron of the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Wing of the Fengtai Army, actually pulled his troops out of the city to conduct a night exercise due to his excess energy. Originally, this guy could have gone to the comfort station to solve it, but this old guy was impotent and couldn't get up at all, so he would take this opportunity to consume the excess energy in his body.

Private Shimura Kikujiro is a new recruit, and he is very uncomfortable with this kind of frequent drills, and his stomach suddenly hurts halfway through. Seeing that there was no one around, he secretly broke away from the group and ran into a field by the roadside, took off his pants and began to fertilize the crops. Originally, Shimura Kikujiro's behavior of taking the initiative to fertilize crops without asking for compensation should be praised, but what no one expected was that Shimura Kikujiro's behavior directly led to the outbreak of a war, which became the fuse for the war between the two sides, and Shimura Kikujiro became famous all over the world.

Kikujiro Shimura left the team due to diarrhea and did not inform anyone. Soon, when Setsuro Shimizu was counting the number of people, he found that there was one person missing.

"Baga Ya Road!" Shimizu Setsuro couldn't help but scold, Shimizu Setsuro was very strict with his troops, and now there was a soldier who fell behind during the exercise, which made Shimizu Setsuro very annoyed, Shimizu Setsuro decided that when he found this recruit, he must teach this useless waste a good lesson.

Just as Setsuro Shimizu was about to send troops to find that damn bastard, his eyes suddenly lit up, and Setsuro Shimizu shouted at the more than a hundred devil soldiers in front of him, "Eight Grid Tooth Road!" These damn China pigs. Unexpectedly, during the imperial army's exercise, he shot at the imperial army and captured an imperial [***] person. This kind of provocative behavior of the people of China is absolutely intolerable to our Imperial Army. Now I order, the whole team immediately marched in the direction of Wanping. ”

The ghost soldiers were stunned by Shimizu Setsuro's mouthful of. The brain reacted relatively quickly, and soon realized that this was His Excellency the squadron leader, and deliberately took the opportunity to provoke. Because they have done this kind of thing more than once, not to mention the Fengtai incident that happened some time ago, the little devil also took the opportunity to provoke, and finally drove the Chinese army out of Fengtai City, and this time the little devil aimed at Wanping City.

There was a glint of excitement in Shimizu Setsuro's eyes, he seemed to have seen a glittering medal flying towards him, if he could take this opportunity to drive the Huaxia army out of Wanping City, then he would definitely become a hero of the empire. Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Shimizu Setsuro's mouth.

Setsuro Shimizu immediately led the team to Wanping, and asked to enter Wanping County to search under the pretext that the army exercise unit suddenly claimed to have been shot by the [***] team, resulting in a missing soldier (i.e., Kikujiro Shimura), and at the same time asked for help from the Fengtai army.

Ji Xingwen, the commander of the 219th Regiment of the 37th Division of the 29th Army stationed in Wanping, sternly refused to allow the army to enter the city because it was late at night and feared an incident.

Wei Zonghan, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Political Affairs Committee, and Lin Gengyu, who was in charge of the negotiations, knew that the matter was serious, and immediately called Qin Dechun, deputy commander of the 29th Army and mayor of Beiping City, to report the matter. In May 1937, Song Zheyuan left Beiping and returned to his hometown in Leling, Shandong Province to recuperate because he was tired of his life with Yue, and Qin Dechun presided over the overall situation in Beiping at this time.

As soon as Qin Dechun picked up the phone, there was an anxious voice on the phone, saying that Matsui, the head of the secret service agency, said: The No. 1 squadron of the army was exercising near the Lugou Bridge, and when the whole squadron was in formation, it was shot at by the troops of the 29th Army, so a soldier was lost, and seeing that the soldier was forced to enter Wanping County, the army asked to lead a team into the city for inspection.

Qin Dechun has been dealing with the little devil for so long, so he naturally knows what kind of virtue the little devil is, and immediately realized that this is the little devil deliberately taking the opportunity to make trouble, Qin Dechun immediately said angrily, "Lugou Bridge is my country's territory, and it has violated international conventions and hindered our country's sovereignty without our consent before the military. …… But after dawn, you can look for it on your behalf, and if you find a soldier, you will return it.
