The Tianjing Japanese Concession was the largest and only more prosperous of the five Japanese Concessions in modern China (the other four being the Khankou Japanese Concession, the Suzhou Japanese Concession, the Hangzhou Japanese Concession and the Shuangqingri Concession). At the same time, it is also one of the nine concessions in Tianjing.

On July 21, 1896, the Qing Dynasty government and the Japanese government signed the Sino-Japanese Treaty on Trade and Shipping. On August 29, 1898, according to the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Commerce and Shipping, the Qing Dynasty government and the Japanese government signed the Agreement and Subsidiary Protocol on the Japanese Concession in Tianjin, demarcating the Japanese Concession, bordering the French Concession in the south and Laotianjing in the northwest. But no development was carried out.

In 1903, when the Japanese Concession was formally established, it was expanded. It has an area of 2,150 acres. It is bordered by the Haihe River in the east, connected with the French Concession along Qiushan Road (now Jingzhou Road) in the southeast, reaches the Qiangzi River (now Nanjin Road) in the south, reaches Nanmenwai Street in the west, and turns west along both sides of Xu Street (now Heping Road) from the southeast corner gate in the north to Fukushima Street (now Duolun Road).

In 1936, there were more than 200 licensed Japanese, Korean and Chinese technical institutes, and more than 1,000 technicians were officially in business. There are more than 160 Japanese shops that openly manufacture and sell maphthine and hailuoin in the territory, and there are more than 500 Chinese tobacco houses, which are one of the major cancers of the Japanese government in the land of China, and are also the main places for accumulating money.

On March 30, 1943, Japan handed over the Japanese concessions to Wang Jingwei's government, but in fact it still maintained its original system until the end of World War II in 1945, when Japan surrendered, and the Chinese government officially took over the Japanese concessions and renamed the streets.

At first, due to its limited strength, Japan did not have more strength to invade other countries. Until the Sino-Japanese War, there were only 48 Japanese expatriates in Tianjing, and even before the outbreak of the Boxer Rebellion in 1900, there were only about 80. Since then, things have changed. With the rise of civil engineering projects in the concessions of various countries and the arrival of the Japanese garrison, the first Japanese came to Tianjin. In 1901, the number of Japanese expatriates had reached more than 1,000. The ensuing Russo-Japanese War also set off an upsurge of Japanese coming to China, and many of them settled in Tianjing.

The First World War became the second climax of the Japanese coming to Tianjin. During the war, Europe and the United States had no time to look eastward, and Japan took the opportunity to vigorously develop trade with China, and the trade volume between Tenkyo and Japan surged, attracting Japanese people to flock to it. In 1919, there were more than 4,500 Japanese in Tianjing, and most of these Japanese lived in the Japanese concession. A Japanese expatriate society gradually formed. Until the outbreak of the September 18 Incident in 1931, the Japanese diaspora in Tenkyo was in a state of slow growth and relative stability. On the one hand, this is because of the unstable situation in China, and more importantly, the continuous aggression of Japan has aroused fierce resistance from the Chinese people, the rise of nationalism, and the anti-Japanese and boycott movements for Japanese products have risen one after another, so that the Japanese do not dare to come rashly.

After that, with the deterioration of Sino-Japanese relations, especially in 1935, Japan began to promote the autonomy movement in North China. Smuggling trade was rife, and Japan's big chaebols also expanded their investment in North China. There was a resurgence of coming to Tianjin in Japan, and by the end of 1937, after the Japanese occupation of Tenkyo, the number of Japanese had reached a staggering 17,000. Since then, the number of Japanese expatriates has increased at a rate of 10,000 per year, and by 1943 it had exceeded 70,000. If the purpose of European and American expatriates coming to Tianjin is more to pan for gold, then Japanese expatriates have the nature of government-led immigration.

In the room on the second floor of a Japanese-owned technical institute facing the street and by the window, the makeup is carefully made. Ouyang Yu, who had yellowed the skin of his face and neck and wore a long beard and a men's kimono, sat against the window, drinking light and tasteless sake while watching the crowd of people coming and going downstairs, and the two geisha in the room played and sang one by one. Ouyang Yu, who was sitting by the window, patted his thighs with the beat, looking very leisurely on the surface, but not calm inside.

In the past two days, Inoue Shaozuo, who had fallen into madness, killed twenty civilians again, and Nanzao Yunzi wanted to stop it but was placed under house arrest and could not contact the North China Front Headquarters, and Gaozhuang County fell into a terror.

Ouyang Yu and he infiltrated the Tianjing Concession last night, and the retaliation will start tonight at the latest.

"It's rude. ”

A Japanese young man who looked like a Luo Quanleg opened the paper door and walked into the room, knelt down to Ouyang Yu and said respectfully, "My lord." ”

"You go out. ”

The two geisha bowed obediently and exited the room.

This young Japanese soldier is a Japanese soldier recruited by Ouyang Yu, and she recruited a total of fifteen Japanese soldiers for this operation, these Japanese soldiers have Japanese names, speak Japanese with a local accent, and have no difference between the behavior and tone of the real Japanese.

"How's it going to explain your affairs?"

"Hi. The Japanese soldier named Shota Taimasa replied respectfully, "The target has been confirmed, two blocks away in an izakaya called Takeuchi, where radical soldiers and outlaws often drink, and the number of people drinking at the peak of Takeuchi's business is about forty or fifty. ”

The target of revenge cannot be found casually, the Chinese and Japanese in the Tianjing Japanese Concession are mixed, many Japanese immigrants have hired a large number of Chinese at home, and Ouyang Yu is not willing to really start with unarmed civilians, so the bad ronin and Japanese troops in the Japanese Concession have become targets.

Ouyang Yu took a sip of the sake in his hand and praised: "Good job, but it's not enough, you have to lock on some more targets, I'm afraid that just one time won't make those militarists feel afraid." ”

"Imperial Will!"

It is very interesting for the soldiers recruited from the system to call Ouyang Yu, the German ones call her my Führer, the Soviet ones are called great leaders, the middle ones are the chiefs, and the Japanese ones are His Majesty the Emperors, I don't know if the American system will call Ouyang Yu His Excellency the President in the future?

At six o'clock in the evening, Takeuchi izakaya began its day's business, and reached its peak at seven or eight o'clock, when the owner of the izakaya, Ichiro Takeuchi, his sixteen-year-old daughter, and a few other men were busy.

"Whoa. ”

A Japanese man with a briefcase and a suit with eyes that looked like an office worker walked into the izakaya, and Yumi Takeuchi, who was in charge of greeting customers, immediately walked over.

"Welcome, is it a person?"

"Yes. ”

"Please follow me. ”

Yumi Takeuchi took the office worker to a two-seater seat, skillfully took out the menu and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Office workers casually order a few side dishes and a bottle of sake on the menu.

"Please wait. What you want will be delivered in no time. ”

This young office worker is Ouyang Yu's Japanese system soldier Shota Daimasa, after Yumi Takeuchi left, he quickly glanced at the izakaya, and in his sight, the other four Japanese soldiers who came in before him nodded slightly to him, each carrying a bag, which was a time bomb that had been activated.

Shota Daimasa's order was quickly served, and he looked at his watch and saw that it was less than twenty minutes before the explosion. In order not to be too suspicious, Shota Daimasa picked up chopsticks and slowly ate and drank wine, and time passed little by little, and the other four Japanese soldiers pretended not to know each other and left one after another, but their bags with bombs were left.

A minute before the explosion, Shota Daimasa also got up to settle the account and walked towards the door of the izakaya, Yumi Takeuchi, who came to clean up the table, saw the briefcase he had deliberately left, so he kindly picked up the briefcase and chased after Shota Osei, who had not yet left.

"Guest, your briefcase has been dropped. ”

Yumi Takeuchi trotted all the way to Shota Daimasa, who had just opened the door. With a smile on his face, he handed the briefcase to him, and Shota Daimasa's face suddenly turned great, and cold sweat flowed out at once, because it was less than half a minute before the explosion.

grabbed the briefcase with the bomb, Shota Osa threw the bag into the izakaya and turned around and wanted to run, but after seeing Yumi Takeuchi with a confused face, Shota Yamato couldn't bear to die of such a young, gentle and lovely little girl, so he grabbed her hand and ran outside together.

"Boom, boom, boom......!"

The izakaya was shattered by five powerful bombs, and the explosion shattered the entire street of glass. Shota Omasa protected Yumi Takeuchi in time, and the two were knocked down by the shockwave together. Shota Daimasa's back was burned and some flying debris was inserted, but Yumi Takeuchi, who was protected by him in his arms, was not harmed in any way.

"Ahem!"

Shota Omasa coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the violent shock wave caused some damage to his internal organs, and then he was quickly taken away by the Japanese soldiers who arrived and disappeared into the night. Otherwise, such an attack will happen again.

Yumi Takeuchi, who was still in shock, first watched Shota Daimasa being taken, then turned to look at the ruins of the burning izakaya, and her face flashed with shock and disbelief, and then turned to sadness.

"Mom, Dad. Brother Terauchi!"

Ouyang Yu gave Daimasa Shota their bomb, which was not only powerful but also had a burning effect, even if he was not killed on the spot, he would be burned to death, and Daimasa Shota and their location was scattered, five bombs could cover the entire izakaya, and it was guaranteed that no one would survive after the explosion, so no matter how the girl shouted, the person she called could no longer answer her shout.

The gendarmes and fire brigades of the Japanese concession soon arrived, the gendarmes blocked the scene, the fire brigade struggled to put out the fire, and the commander of the Tianjing garrison, Onodera Daisa, looked at the statement left by Taisho Shota in his hand with a gloomy face, such an incident happened in his defense area, which was a huge stain on his military career, and he also greeted the female relatives of Inoue Shaozuo who was far away in Gaozhuang County, if it wasn't for him killing the Chinese people at will, how could such a thing happen.

"Osa, this little girl is the only survivor of the izakaya. ”

The two gendarmes brought Yumi Takeuchi, who was still in grief, to Onodera Osa, and the little girl had a sad face, and Onodera Osa sorted out her anger and asked in a gentle voice, "What is your name, and what does it have to do with this izakaya?"

"My name is Yumi Takeuchi, and I am the daughter of the owner of an izakaya in Takeuchi. ”

Onodera Osa sighed in his heart, sympathizing with Yumi Takeuchi's plight, "Can you tell me about the situation in the izakaya tonight?"

"Yes. ”

Yumi Takeuchi has a good memory, and she told me about the situation at the izakaya tonight, and when it came to Shota Daimasa, Yumi Takeuchi shook her teeth with a hideous expression, "I will never forget that person in my life, although he saved me, but he killed my parents and lovers, Mr. Osa, I am willing to help you arrest that person as soon as possible!"

Yumi Takeuchi took the initiative to help arrest him, of course, it was the best, after all, she was the only surviving eyewitness, and in addition to the most impressive Shota Daimasa, she also had a general impression of the other four Japanese soldiers, even if she didn't say anything, Onodera Daisa wanted to ask her for help.

"Miss Takeuchi is very grateful for your help, and if you succeed in catching those damned criminals, I will ask you for credit from the North China Front Headquarters. ”

"I don't need credit, I just want to avenge my father, my mother, and my brother in the temple. ”

Yumi Takeuchi's words made Onodera Osa sigh again, and after cleaning up his mood, he ordered: "Immediately conduct a search in the concession, the other party is likely to be the red elements of the country, so the focus of the search is on the Japanese residential areas, but the Chinese residential areas should not be spared, hotels, technical institutes and other places where you can spend the night are priority units!"

"Hey!"

With the order of Onodera Daisa, the entire Japanese concession was blockaded and began a manhunt operation, which was full of armed searchers from the Japanese military police and police force.

Ouyang Yu's Wuzu Street (later Jiamu Silk Road) Technical Institute was broken into by a group of wolf-like military police, and ordered the prostitutes inside to take out their documents, and all those who found that they did not carry their documents were taken away by the military police.

In the room on the second floor, a Japanese soldier hurriedly walked into Ouyang Yu's room, knelt down and said: " Your Majesty, the militarist lackeys are searching the technical institute, and they will soon come to the second floor, they are looking for Japanese men with burns on their backs and without documents, it seems that the other party's goal is very clear, it should be Taisho-kun They left clues during the operation, we all have no documents, once the gendarmerie goes up to the second floor, it will be exposed immediately, for the safety of His Majesty, the minister dares to implore His Majesty to change his clothes and change into the clothes of a geisha, and then we will lead away the gendarmes, and His Majesty can leave safely. ”

Ouyang Yu did not refute the soldier's opinion because this was the best way, "I know, you can use these things to break through, and then find a way to go to Mitsui and meet me." ”

Ouyang Yu bought nine Suomi submachine guns, some ammunition and some grenades, as well as ten sets of Japanese military uniforms, with these things, the possibility of the Japanese soldiers breaking through will increase a lot, and after the soldiers went out with weapons and ammunition, she immediately began to change clothes, and it didn't take long for a charming "geisha" to appear in the room.
