Chapter 131 The Outbreak of Anti-Japanese War
"Mingcheng, are you saying that Wang Jiuguang really did what happened to Zhengjin Bank? I can't see Mingtai clearly now!" Minglou said thoughtfully holding two steel plates of fake French currency.

Mingcheng smiled and said, "Brother, do you still think that Mingtai brought the nursing homes he recruited over the years to do it? Wang Jiuguang is a bold person, he dare not do anything, and we don't need us to talk about it." Go worry about it, give the steel plate to Dai Li, and let him have a headache!"

Ming Lou said: "Yes, let Dai Li worry about this matter! But seeing that the situation is getting more and more tense, we should let Ming Tai go to Europe to continue his studies as soon as possible."

Mingcheng looked at Minglou and said speechlessly: "As for Mingtai's stubborn temper, he can listen to some words except for the elder sister. When did he not ignore our teachings?"

"After all, I am his elder brother, and the eldest brother is his father. I still have the final say in the Ming family. If I let him go abroad to study in Mingtai, it will be against the sky." Minglou said confidently.

Looking at the arrogant Minglou, Mingcheng didn't say a word, he really wanted to complain: Brother, who gave you the confidence, you couldn't control Mingtai when you were studying in Europe, now Mingtai has a family and a career, I'm afraid Your words are even more insignificant.

The next day, full of confidence, Minglou proposed to Lin Mu about going abroad.

"Brother, are you okay? Who will take charge of the Ming family's business in Shanghai after I leave? Do you rely on you and the second brother? Regardless of the fact that you graduated from the Finance Department of the University of France, to be honest, you really can't afford this. The family business, unless the eldest sister comes back to take over." Lin Mu said slightly mockingly.

"You...Mingtai, I am doing this for your own good. The current situation in Shanghai is becoming more and more tense. It is not safe for you to stay here. Also, don't think that I don't know. The current industrial chain of our Ming family in China It's less than a whole, and it won't hurt your bones if you give it up, people are the most important thing!" Minglou persuaded earnestly.

Lin Mu deliberately sarcastically said: "You are really 'I don't feel bad about selling my father's land'. Those who stay in Shanghai are all ancestral property. If the elder sister hears you say that, I will give you two big ears. Brother, you are not right. Families don’t know that rice is expensive, and the economies of overseas countries are also in depression, once the domestic industry fails, our Ming family will be hurt.”

Although I know that Lin Mu is a bit alarmist, Minglou really doesn't know the specific industrial structure of the Ming family, because these things are usually controlled by Lin Mu and Mingjing, and Mingjing doesn't like to talk about family affairs with Minglou and Mingcheng. Personality, in her opinion, it is enough for the Ming family property to be managed by Lin Mu. He hopes that Minglou and Mingcheng can do something he likes.

Seeing that he could not convince Lin Mu, Minglou had no choice but to leave with an excuse.

In the middle of the night on July 1937, 7, the four gates of Wanping County, located on the vast plain of North China, were closed, the sky was overcast, and there were only sporadic and dim lights in the entire ancient city, which swayed like fireflies in the wind, like thousands of miles away. A little bit of fishing fire on the Waisong River.

At the headquarters of the 29th Regiment of the 37th Division of the [-]th Army in the county, the atmosphere was extremely tense and depressing.

The head of the regiment, Ji Shaowu, could not sleep all night, and was lying on the map to check the dynamics of the Japanese army.

The gunshots from the Japanese military exercise outside the city broke the silent night.

Ji Shaowu stood up and looked at the endless darkness outside the window. For some reason, his heart was always throbbing and restless, and it was difficult to calm down at all, as if something bad was about to happen.

After thinking about it again and again, Ji Shaowu ordered the officers and soldiers of the regiment to enter a ready-to-fight state at any time, and the number of outer guard sentries was doubled.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was almost midnight, the earth shrouded in black was more oppressive and dull, and the mountains and rain were about to come and the wind filled the building. This was the most real mood of every soldier of the [-]th Regiment at the moment.

"What time is it?" Ji Shaowu frowned and asked.

"It's almost 10:30, Tuan Zuo, you should go and have a rest, I'll just keep an eye on it here."

The deputy head raised his wrist, glanced at his watch, then looked at the sky outside, and persuaded in a low voice.

Before Ji Shaowu could reply, bursts of gunshots suddenly came from the west of the city, completely breaking the silence of the night.

Ji Shaowu and the deputy head looked at each other, and the two hurriedly grabbed their guns and ran outside.

"The Japanese are attacking! All personnel are dispatched, ready to fight back!"

Under the escort of the guards, Ji Shaowu quickly rushed to the west gate where the gunfire was the most intense. On the way, he met Jin Zhenzhong, the commander of the third battalion, who came to report the military situation. The representative, who wanted to go into the city to search for a soldier they had disappeared during a daytime exercise, had an extremely tough attitude, threatening to attack the city by force if they were not satisfied.

Ji Shaowu, who always followed his family uncle Ji Shiwu as an example, thought about it and immediately understood that the Japanese have used similar ghost tricks many times. "September [-]" and "[-]" are both It was provoked for such a reason, and he couldn't help but yelled: "Damn it, you still want to play such dirty things with me, there is no way! Everyone has it, ready to fight."

Immediately organize the whole regiment to step into the position, enter the fighting state, order the deputy head to take charge of the command, and run to the regiment headquarters by himself, preparing to report the matter to the higher authorities.

But it is regrettable that the military telephone line leading to the outside of Wanping County has long been cut off by the Japanese army, and the regiment headquarters is not equipped with a radio station. Ji Shaowu, who was so anxious, could only order his adjutant to ride out of the east gate and rush to the Peking headquarters. Urgent.

Ji Shaowu didn't know it at all. Just when a brigade of the Japanese army suddenly fired at Wanping County, which he was guarding, Taijiro Matsui, the head of the Beiping Secret Service, was questioning Song Mingxuan on the phone at the moment, saying that the missing soldiers in the Dongying Army Exercise were very likely He has been looted into Wanping City by the 29th Regiment and is required to search the city immediately.Ruo Wanping's garrison refused to trigger an exchange of fire, and even led to a war between the two countries. Song Mingxuan and the [-]th Army were all responsible.

After weighing the pros and cons, Song Mingxuan, who still had a little backbone, still rejected the unreasonable demands of the Dongying people, but promised that the matter could be properly negotiated and resolved by the two sides tomorrow, and the Japanese army would definitely give a satisfactory answer at that time.

After a short confrontation, the unprepared Japanese army was repulsed by Ji Shaowu. Soon after, the telephone line was reconnected by the communication soldiers sent by the 37th Division to check the line. Ji Shaowu quickly reported the situation to the Nanyuan Division. Feng Yangzhi, who was in command of the Ministry, reported.

Feng Yangzhi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the Japanese army had been repulsed, but he still ordered the [-]th Regiment to deploy strict defenses and never relax in the slightest, and was ready to fight back at any time.

After hanging up the phone, Feng Yangzhi immediately picked up the phone again and reported the situation in detail to Song Mingxuan at the Beiping headquarters.

Feng Yangzhi didn't know. After putting down the phone, Song Mingxuan felt relieved, and ignored Feng Yangzhi's warning that "the war is likely to break out in an all-round way." Negotiations, hoping to eliminate the hidden dangers of war through peaceful means.

Song Mingxuan's misjudgment and compromise approach to the current situation allowed the Japanese First Wing to seize the opportunity and quickly completed the deployment of troops to attack the key areas of Wanping and Lugouqiao.
