Zhang Kexia saw that Zhang Zizhong's face was ugly, and hurriedly stopped Huang Weigang. Jiang Qiang said sincerely: "Commander Zhang does not need to be obsessed with this, the so-called clean people are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, and the general is as straight as a silk rope and as clear as a jade pot of ice, and he is wholeheartedly thinking about the people of North China, not wanting to intensify contradictions, and striving to maintain peace, which is also the policy of the national government." The general's endurance of humiliation is really admirable. But it is also necessary to understand the feelings of the people, after so many years of successful revolution, the Xinchou Treaty is still around the necks of Chinese soldiers; 100,000 elite soldiers sat in Pingjin, but let the clowns dance wildly; There are millions of people in Hogo, and the return of the three eastern provinces is far away. Every Chinese is like a fish in their throats, and their chests are full of indignation, and letting them vent two sentences can be regarded as sharing worries for the government and fulfilling the responsibility of a soldier. Zhang Zizhong's face softened slightly, and he said softly: "I also understand what you said, I am not afraid of shadows, I am not sorry for the country, and I don't care about what others say." It's just that when I went to Japan this time, I found that we were not a little bit and a half star, but a comprehensive backwardness. I'm worried about that! ”

Zhang Kexia persuaded: "Our 38th Division is the old foundation of the 16th mixed brigade, the main division of the 29th Army, 3 brigades and 9 regiments and so many directly subordinate troops, with a total strength of nearly 20,000, and the weapons are also excellent, the whole division has 6 or 700 machine guns alone, and each battalion has an artillery company. After many bloody battles, looking at the 29th Army and even the whole of North China, we are strong and strong, and we are afraid of 5,000 little devils in Tianjin. It's okay for him to stay honest, he dares to stir up trouble, and I will set foot in Haiguang Temple. Jiang Qiang knew that what Zhang Kexia said was right, Zhang Zizhong governed the army strictly, and still retained the tradition of beating military sticks, and reprimanded his subordinates at every turn to "see if I don't pick your skin", so he was nicknamed "Zhang Peel". It's a pity that the 38th Division at this time didn't meet a bloody Shangguan, otherwise the 100,000 tiger and wolf division would have been able to clear eastern Hebei and stabilize Pingjin in one go.

Fortunately, the main force still existed in the subsequent Pingjin rout, and the 59th Army and the 33rd Group Army derived on this basis would become the main force of the Fifth Theater of Operations, and win the respect of the Chinese and Japanese soldiers in the later Battle of Xuzhou and the Battle of Suizao. He also advised: "Division Commander Zhang does not need to worry, China and Japan have their own strengths, we have a large number of people and abundant resources, as long as the whole nation is firm, all parties are sincerely united, regardless of the gains and losses of one city or one place, and the isolated and scattered enemy is eliminated during the movement, when his resources are exhausted and his troops are tight, he will win the opportunity for a counteroffensive and slowly turn back the situation." I believe that we will be the victors in the end. Liu Zhensan, the commander of the 113th Brigade, slapped his thigh and shouted: "Yes, Brother Jiang is right." Don't be afraid of war, in short, you have to fight, why don't you let go of your hands and feet to beat his mother, blindly endure and retreat, he has to inch in every inch, endlessly. If this continues, the people of the country will not understand, and the morale of the army will be dispersed! Huang Weigang said: "Yes, the little devil deceives people too much, the position is repaired to our noses, shooting at our barracks, saying that they are shooting birds, and there are devil officers who come to our position to protest and inspect at every turn, and our secrets are clearly understood by them, and if this continues, the brothers will suffocate to death." ”

Dong Shengtang, the commander of the 114th Brigade, said: "I know that we are fighting, we finally settled in Pingjin, where are we going to leave Pingjin?" Who will feed these 100,000 soldiers and horses? Vote for the chairman? Vote for Yan Laoxi? The Battle of the Great Wall was lost at their hands, and I won't trust them anymore! It can be delayed for a day, listen to Mr. Song. Several people immediately argued, taking this welcome ceremony as a battle meeting, Zhang Zizhong sighed and shook his head and walked to the VIP seat, Jiang Qiang followed and persuaded him not to worry, just listen to Shangfeng's orders. Zhang Zizhong said embarrassedly: "To make you laugh, there are very different opinions in the army, some want to fight and some want to make peace, but fortunately, no one is willing to surrender." Mr. Song and I are also in a dilemma. "Thousands of people, thousands of faces, hundreds of people and hundreds of hearts. Everyone has their own ideas, and this is normal, even the National Defense Military Council may not be able to reach an agreement, and the people are even more debated. However, the 29th Army bears the brunt of the attack, and it is the responsibility to defend the territory, so it is still necessary to be ready to fight. I have always believed that peace is not something that can be negotiated, but something that is fought. ”

Zhang Zizhong pondered for a moment, thinking in his heart that although our 29th Army has more than 100,000 people, it can be scattered all over the place, and there are not many heavy weapons, so our 38th Division and Feng Zhi'an's 37th Division are large-scale heavy equipment divisions, and the weapons disbanded and disarmed by Feng Yuxiang's Anti-Japanese Alliance, the weapons left behind by Tang Yulin when he fled, and the weapons smuggled by Song Zheyuan and the British have basically expanded these two divisions, and the strength of other divisions is uneven, and it is not easy to fight. If a tough attitude leads to a full-scale war, the government blames it, and the bloodshed and sacrifice may be betrayed by other warlords and politicians. Otherwise, Zhang Xueliang and Tang Yulin are both heavily armed, and they can make the Japanese arrogant until now? I had to say lightly: "Do you have any good suggestions?" "Your unit has been in North China for six or seven years, and has been fighting and confronting the Japanese army for a long time, I have just arrived, and I am not very clear about the situation between the enemy and us, how dare I get an axe?"

Jiang Qiang said, "First of all, the 29th Route Army must work together from top to bottom, unify and make clear the operational objectives, whether to withdraw or fight, make plans in advance, and not hesitate. Be prepared to never compromise and fight for every inch of land. Second, don't just think about sticking to your position, dividing your troops to defend, and being beaten passively. Since we want to fight, we must hurt him so that he will never dare to fight again, so the combat method can be a combination of blocking, ambushing, outflanking, sneak attack, etc., and the combat goal is to destroy a large number of its living forces. Third, the command headquarters must have a perfect plan for dealing with emergencies, organize training for all departments, and all divisions, brigades, and regiments must maintain smooth communications and respond to and cooperate with each other at any time. Finally, the Japanese are accustomed to using the tactic of delaying the army, using the peace talks as a cover to adjust their deployment and wait for reinforcements, so as not to be led by their noses, and not to let them fight and make peace whenever they want. Be sure to work hard to achieve your battle plan. ”

Zhang Kexia, who rushed over, said with a smile: "You are hitting the nail on the head, pointing to the point, our preparation in these aspects is indeed insufficient." Do you think the Japanese will really launch a large-scale attack? "The Japanese plan to seize Pingjin and North China has been preparing for three years since the Battle of the Great Wall, and it is time to do it. I estimate that little by little, our army will be forced to abandon Pingjin in the same way as they did Rehe, Jidong, and Fengtai. If our army rises up and fights back, it will definitely force the Japanese army to attack in an all-out way. Dong Shengtang said anxiously: "In this way, won't we become sinners who caused a full-scale war?" "It is the duty of a soldier to defend the country and resist aggression. How can we allow the invaders to occupy our land for fear of war? Do Chinese soldiers only play tricks with their own people at home? In the face of foreign invasion, will it only cede land and seek peace? What is the use of the common people feeding such an army? The Japanese have been coveting China for hundreds of years, and their ambitions are getting bigger and bigger, whether we want to fight or not, this war cannot be avoided, unless 40,000,000 of us are willing to be slaves of the country, is this possible? Therefore, compromise and concession are national sinners, and resolute resistance is national heroes. Zhang Zizhong and the others nodded silently, still struggling in the depths of their thoughts.

Jiang Qiang demanded that Zhang Zizhong must support the proposal of withdrawing from the war zone one after another by representatives of Tianjin's educational, industrial, and cultural circles, and that they would rather be broken than destroyed; they have long lived under the rule of the great powers and the obscenity of the Japanese spies, and they have long had the intention of going away, but they are afraid that they will have nowhere to live, and Jiang Qiang's demand to Zhang Zizhong is to protect the talents of these countries. The industrialists had to go to the rear to step up production support to the front. The educational circles should go to the rear to train talented people and build a strong motherland, and the cultural circles should go to the rear to create and inspire the people. Zhang Feng reported that he had made contact with six people in the city, and that at the moment ten of them were acting according to plan, and that we must arrive before 11 o'clock. A few minutes later, the two quietly left the headquarters of the 38th Division, met in a cornfield southeast of the town, and together with a member of the Tianjin lurker team who came to meet them, disguised themselves as Japanese soldiers, and galloped to Tianjin.

Haiguang Temple outside the south gate of Tianjin has been occupied by the Japanese army since 1900, the Japanese garrison headquarters in China has been located here, after nearly 40 years of operation, especially in these two years of strengthening, the formation of a large and complex organization, complete arms, political, military, intelligence and economic control of the country in the country, become the military base camp of the Japanese armed invasion of North China, annexation of China. In a large office in the middle of the second floor, Major General Hashimoto Qun, chief of staff of the Japanese garrison in Tun, was facing Taikuro Matsui, chief of the intelligence agency in Beiping, and Hidewa Mogawa, director of the intelligence agency in Tianjin. In the Tongzhou incident, seven people, including Yin Rugeng, Chi Zongmo, and Wu Gao, the backbone of the Jidong Autonomous Government, were killed, 17 bodyguards were killed, and the family of Hosomu Fanshaozuo, an adviser to the Japanese army in Tongzhou, was killed, and a large number of documents were lost. Eight households of Japanese and North Korean expatriates were wiped out and their property was looted. The ammunition depot of the Eastern Hebei Autonomous Army was bombed, and more than 10,000 people lost ammunition, supplies, and clothing, resulting in the death of more than 100 guards of the Autonomous Army, and more than 30 casualties of the nearby Japanese squadron due to the collapse of houses. According to investigations, two imperial sentinels at the south gate of Tongzhou were killed in the middle of the night, and the bandits entered and evacuated through the south gate, leaving more than 30 handwritten leaflets signed "Jidong People's National Salvation Army" in various parts of the city. On the night of the incident, the garrison of the 29th Army had no troops to move, and all of them rested in the barracks, which was confirmed by the internal line of our army. According to the analysis, this incident is not like the actions of the secret services of the Nationalist Government, they generally only carry out assassination of the main target, and never provoke the imperial army, and it is speculated from the method of killing that it is very likely that the bandits in the green forest took the opportunity to retaliate and rob.

Hashimoto was very unhappy, the empire had decided to launch an active encroachment on Wanping, Lugouqiao and other southern areas in July and August, forcing the 29th Route Army to abandon the Pingjin area under the condition of being surrounded on all sides, and the garrison army had set up an emergency planning group to formulate a battle plan. It needs a peaceful appearance to cover the real attempt, and it also needs the cooperation of traitors big and small, but in the blink of an eye, the bomb Pan Yugui in the 29th Army is dead, and the powerful vanguard Yin Rugeng is over, and the empire's years of hard work are in vain? Hey, what a headache, Lieutenant General Tashiro Wanichiro, the commander appointed by Emperor Hirohito himself, has been suffering from a serious heart attack, and he has not been here to inquire about specific affairs for a long time, and he has exhausted himself as a chief of staff. Now there is this incident again, it is quite serious to say that it is heavy, and it is a bandit robbery to say that it is light.

It seems that you still have to press it, otherwise it will affect your future. He thought for a long time and asked Matsui if the situation in the Tongzhou Jidong Autonomous Government was stable. Matsui Taijiulang reported that in addition to Yin Rugeng, the eastern Hebei government also had eight people, including Chi Zongmo, Wang Xiacai, Zhang Qingyu, Zhang Yantian, Huo Shi, Li Haitian, Li Yunsheng, and Yin Tixin, to participate in the government. In this attack, Yin Rugeng, Chi Zongmo, Wang Xiacai, and Yin Tixin were killed. There are three offices and four halls, Chi Zongmo's Secretariat and Foreign Affairs Office, Dong Fengxiang's Security Department, Zhang Renli is the director of the Civil Affairs Department, Wang Lucai is the director of the Construction Department and the Education Department, and Zhao Congyi is the Director of the Finance Department. All the power of the various departments and counties was in the hands of the imperial advisers or secretaries. Dong Fengxiang and Zhang Renli were killed in the attack. Wu Gao, the governor of Tongzhou, was not spared. The 1st to 5th Divisions of the Autonomous Army were divided into division commanders by Zhang Qingyu, Zhang Yantian, Li Haitian, Zhao Lei, and Li Yunsheng, and the command power was completely controlled by the imperial instructors. Five people were spared because they lived in a military camp outside the city. At present, the Tongzhou group is leaderless, rumors are everywhere, and the people's hearts are unstable, and the infantry brigade has sent a large brigade of imperial troops to maintain law and order. However, the government personnel suffered more losses, and the government affairs were deserted, so we went to mobilize the Tongzhou gentry to fill the vacancy, but we were all politely refused. The autonomous army is the most worrisome, according to the investigation that the two commanders Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Yantian have always been in contact with Song Zheyuan and Feng Zhi'an, and the five division commanders are relatively grouped, and it is difficult to divide them. In order to prevent the morale of the army from being unstable, each division was stationed with Imperial Army troops to monitor it.

Such a big loss was really a shame for the Japanese Empire, and after reprimanding the two of them, they were ordered to immediately launch an investigation, and found that the gang of bandits was broken into thousands of pieces, and the guards of the Jidong Autonomous Government were all shot. Immediately protested to the 29th Army and the Beiping Municipal Government, connived at the bandits to endanger the locality, brutally killed Japanese soldiers and expatriates, forced them to withdraw from Wanping, handed over to the imperial soldiers to guard, and gradually took control of the southern gate of Beiping. Tomorrow he will personally go to Tongzhou to rectify the government and autonomous army in eastern Hebei. Shu Shigekawa and Taikuro Matsui, who were blasted out by Hashimoto's group, hurriedly said goodbye and stepped into the car to return to the Toyama Mansion.

The Toyama Mansion in the Japanese Concession was originally called the Aoki Mansion, and it was a secret service agency set up by the Kwantung Army. The main task was to grasp the political trends of the military and political dignitaries of northeastern origin who had fled to the Tianjin Concession. The other is to work among the Beiyang warlords and politicians in Shimono to cultivate pro-Japanese forces. In November 1931, he went to Tianjin to carry out a mission to kidnap Pu Yi and go to Northeast China with Kenji Dohihara, the head of the Mukden secret service. Based on the need to strengthen the deployment of aggression in North China, in 1935, Hidekazu Mogawa was ordered to establish a new secret service agency, the Yuanshan Mansion, on the basis of the original Aoki Mansion, and transferred the spy organization from the original Kwantung Army Headquarters to the leadership of the Tianjin Garrison Army Command. The kidnapping of Pu Yi was a task accomplished by bribing Chinese traitors. While tasting the sweetness, he also found the secret to opening the door to China, which was to use the Chinese to achieve the grand goal of the Great Japanese Empire to rule China. Over the past two years, he has continued to work among the warlords, frustrated politicians, and military and political personnel from Northeast China, instigating them to "overthrow the autonomy of the chairman" and seek "autonomy in North China," and then concoct a "North China State" after "Manchukuo." The results in the preliminary work were remarkable, and the eastern Hebei and Fengtai were all incorporated into the actual control of the imperial army without bloodshed.

He began to wonder how so many Chinese were willing to serve the Imperial Army. Moreover, there are not only important officials of the country in different periods, but also people in the industrial and commercial and educational circles, and more people in the green forest and the powerful, the ruffians and hooligans, and the peddlers and pawns, so it can be said that people of all walks of life in this country have no feelings and lack loyalty to their country. Apathy, numbness to the point of outrageousness. As an officer of the Great Japanese Empire, he carried out the task of obtaining material materials and living space for the Yamato nation, and with the help of this group of selfish, stupid, and weak people, the historical mission of the common prosperity of Greater East Asia will be successful in the hands of their generation. Northeast, Rehe, Chahar, in the Manchurian traitors, traitors, traitors under the strategy of the victories, in Pingjin is also a triumphant song. But the sudden appearance of the Jidong People's National Salvation Army disrupted his deployment and made him reprimanded by his superiors. He pondered how to use the Chinese to find the group of bold anti-Japanese elements, and the Yuanshan Mansion arrived.

Mogawa saw that there were many carriages parked near the gate, all of them were carriages of loyal friends of the Great Japanese Empire, and they had all sent their own cars to invite them in the past, so why did they come together to visit so late? Walking into the door, entering the living room, Wang Yitang, Wang Kemin, Qi Xieyuan, Gao Lingwei, Niu Chuanshan, Liu Yushu, Shen Tongwu, Sun Runyu, Wang Zhulin, Zhao Pingqing, Di Yutang, and Fang Ruo all drank tea and chatted in the living room. Seeing him come back, one by one, the former high-ranking officials and the old man hurriedly got up and bowed to the 40-year-old Shaozuo. Maochuan casually motioned for everyone to sit, sat down in the center and asked, "Are there any urgent matters for you to visit late at night?" Everyone was stunned on the spot, looking at each other and couldn't figure out what was going on? Wang Yitang got up with his long white beard in his hand and asked, "Didn't Mr. Shaozuo send someone to inform us to come here for a meeting at eight o'clock?" We've been waiting until now. Mao Chuan looked at everyone's suspicious expressions in surprise, not like they were lying, and hurriedly got up and asked, "Who notified you to come?" I went to Tongzhou early this morning, where did I send the notice? A young man dressed as a Japanese lieutenant walked in through the open hall door, stood in the middle of the room, and said to Maochuan in Japanese: "I sent someone to invite them, and these people only listen to you, so I had to inform them to come to the meeting in your name. ”

"Which unit are you from, whose orders are you carrying out, and what are you looking for them?" "I forgot to introduce myself, we are the Jidong People's National Salvation Army you are looking for." "Ahh Maochuan was pleasantly surprised, and was surprised that this group of bandits was so bold, and they were not satisfied with Tongzhou, so they didn't hurry up to find a cottage to hide, and they disguised themselves as imperial soldiers and mixed into Tianjin, I don't know what kind of place this is? The good news is that this group of bold, ignorant and fearless guys sent them to the door by themselves, saving themselves from looking for them everywhere, there are more than 20 professional agents in the mansion, and they will come to support when they hear the movement, and you can't escape. Thinking of this, Mao Chuan, who is a karate master, let out a long roar, flew and kicked sideways in the air, extremely fast. Most of the old men next to him were members of the Three Sames, namely the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer School Alumni Association, the Student Association in Japan, and the Sino-Japanese Fellow Association, most of whom could understand Japanese and knew that the people who came were anti-Japanese elements. The lieutenant, who was standing in the middle of the room, was undaunted, took a step back, stretched out his left hand and grabbed Mogawa's ankle, and the pain in his fingers was so strong that Mokawa could not change his moves, and his left foot could not move. The lieutenant took advantage of the situation, turned his body to the right, and slapped his right palm on Maochuan's back. Mokawa flew forward faster than he had come, landing heavily on the ground 3 meters away, shattering several large green bricks. Lying on the ground, Mao Chuan shook his fainted head, propped himself up, spat out a mouthful of blood, gasped for breath, struggled to stand up, and stared at the lieutenant with red eyes. Suddenly he threw himself at the wall, took a saber from the wall, drew his long knife with a thud, placed the handles in both hands diagonally in front of him, and slowly moved towards the lieutenant with a hideous limp. The lieutenant looked at him contemptuously, stretched out his right index finger and hooked it at him, and stood in place with a relaxed expression.

Moekawa was completely enraged, and the violent stubbornness of the Japanese made him raise his long knife frantically, and slid forward in desperation, slashing at the lieutenant. Without waiting for the blade to fall, the lieutenant quickly took half a step forward with his left foot, raised his right hand, sent his body forward, kicked out with his right leg, and kicked heavily on Maochuan's chest, and the sound of bone breaking stimulated the old people to be creepy, and cold sweat flowed. A cloud of blood sprayed out dragged for a long time as Mogawa flew away. Hidekazu Moekawa, who fell to the ground, rolled twice in pain, opened his mouth full of blood with difficulty, and said with difficulty, "You...... You...... Finally...... Who is ......" "I am a bloody Chinese soldier you have never seen before, don't think that every Chinese is as shameless as them. The real Chinese never bow down to the aggressor. You are aggressive and insatiable, this is your inevitable end, and soon there will be more aggressors to accompany you. ”

The lieutenant no longer looked at the breathless and dying Hidekazu Moekawa. The cold eyes swept over the vomiting and trembling old men around him, his face softened a little, and he sighed and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please sit down, I invited everyone to come here with the intention of having a good talk, there is no harm to your mind, don't be afraid." Seeing that the people around him sat down one after another, he pointed to everyone and said: "You are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the Beiyang and Republic of China periods, rich businessmen and celebrities, and you were once heroes who were also powerful heroes. For various reasons, you went into the wilderness, resigned, and took the people's fat and ointment looted when you were in office to work as an apartment in the concession, even if you honestly live for the rest of your life, but you are willing to serve the Japanese. One by one, they are so old, but they nod their heads with a Japanese Shaozo, I really feel sorry for you, and I am ashamed of you. Have you all forgotten your own glory, well, tell yourselves your name, your age, the highest position you have held. "Everyone's faces were white and red for a while, and their hearts were extremely uneasy, these guys who were full of servility and spineless in their bones would never be embarrassed by a few sarcasm sarcasm, they were worried about how the imperial army of the dead spy leader would clean them up, and I was reprimanded mercilessly by such a young man, but I was afraid of this person's superb martial arts, and I didn't dare to resist, so I had to get up one by one and report it.
