blood feud

After making the phone call, Yamashita Fengwen felt that it was not safe, so he went directly to the headquarters of the Garrison Army, and wanted to discuss emergency measures with the commander face to face.Unexpectedly, upon entering the door, the commander, His Excellency Kanichiro Tashiro, now has the corners of his mouth crooked and foaming at the mouth!

Stroke!Your Excellency, Commander Lieutenant General Tashiro Kanichiro, suffered a sudden stroke!

Yamashita Fengwen hurriedly called the doctor, but it was too late!

After the military doctor came rushing over in a hurry, and began to rescue him on the spot, two hours later, the military doctor could only say dejectedly, "Major General Yamashita: Your Excellency, Lieutenant General Tashiro, suffered a sudden heart attack and died in the line of duty!"

They were in a hurry here, and the sky was bright in the blink of an eye.

The armored convoy didn't know what happened after they left, but went all the way north, crossing Diao'e Town before dawn.Only in this way can we enter Chicheng territory before everyone reacts.

A brigade of chariots belonging to the little devil was missing, and it was not known until after 1937 o'clock in the morning on July 7, 16.

The highest officer of the garrison army suddenly "died himself in the line of duty", that is to say, within a week, the garrison army in North China successively had a lieutenant general, a major general, a senior officer, and a lieutenant officer (it has been found out that the captain of the chariot brigade, Four squadron leaders were beheaded) "died in the line of duty", this does not include the equipment of the entire tank brigade missing!

In the blink of an eye, Yamashita Fengwen became the highest commander here.He had no sense of how to deal with the mess in front of him, so a telegram was sent to the Minister of the Military Department of Monkey Island in the Pacific!

Although the commander died suddenly, Fengwen Yamashita felt that he should do something, so he brought a group of men to the scene of the incident.

All the barracks and houses are all ruins left after the fire.In the original room of the captain and squadron leader, the unburned skull was found.

In the rooms of other soldiers, neat bones were also seen. Some of the carrion on the bones had not been completely burned, so the stench was suffocating.

Seeing the tragic scene in front of him, Yamashita Fengwen felt a chill coming from his back, as if there was a gust of dark wind blowing through his bones: "Xuan Dao-kun, what do you think of this scene?"

Xuan Dao, the captain of the Second Infantry Regiment, broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead: "Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Judging from the scene, there are quite a few of the entire tank brigade, all of whom were killed without resistance. So many soldiers were killed in their sleep."

"The captain, Major Fukuda Mineo, was killed in the war room, and was brutally beheaded by the enemy. Several squadron leaders seemed to be drinking, and they were also killed without resistance. Therefore, the humble official believes that the murderer To set fire to the scene was to cover up a certain fact."

"Your Excellency, brigade commander, I think this matter still needs to be investigated further!" Taijiro Matsui, the chief of the Peiping secret service, took off his white gloves and threw them away, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The sentinel was arrested on his post. Killing, more than 700 people were killed in a dream, and there was no movement, this is too scary!"

Yamashita Fengwen frowned: "What is the meaning behind Matsui-kun's words?"

After all, Matsui Kyutaro is also a 50-year-old guy. He was busy just now, and he was a little out of breath: "There are no traces left at the scene, but so many people were killed. not simple."

What Fufumi Yamashita was most concerned about was where the equipment of the entire tank brigade went, so he asked a little impatiently: "Now, Matsui-kun, please tell me that a complete tank brigade's equipment cannot be hidden casually. May I ask where the equipment of the entire tank brigade is? Where? I thought, as long as you find the equipment, are you afraid you won’t be able to find out the truth?”

Taijiro Matsui bowed and said: "The entire secret service is in action, there should be some clues."

July and August in Peking are actually quite hot.Although it was cloudy and rainy during this period, the common people were extremely hot during the day, and it was slightly cooler in the middle of the night, so they naturally wanted to sleep well.

When Fengwen Yamashita led people to investigate the "tragedy" of the chariot brigade and the Peking secret service launched a comprehensive search for clues, they couldn't find any insiders.

Of course, there is no paper that can hold fire.It is impossible to say that a large convoy of 24 armored vehicles and 12 trucks was absolutely unseen.

For example, in the corner of Wanping City, someone saw a complete battalion of chariots marching away.But people just don't say it, what can you do?

He Jifeng, commander of the 29th Brigade of the 37th Division of the 110th Army, Ji Xingwen, the commander of the 219th Regiment, and Jin Zhenzhong, the commander of the [-]rd Battalion, stayed up all through the middle of the night and sealed the passwords one by one:

"Recently the surroundings have been peaceful, and with the heavy rain last night, everyone in the barracks was sleeping. The sentry left the post to hide from the rain, and is now in confinement! All in all, all in all, I heard thunder yesterday, and nothing else Know."

Actually, Commander Feng Zhi'an of the 37th Division had received a report from He Jifeng, but now it is a precarious time, and one more thing is worse than one less thing.Moreover, the army commander Song Zheyuan's attitude is not clear, so let's keep some things in his stomach.

It was precisely because of this that when the little devil found the Yongding River by following the car marks, he specially sent someone over to inquire, and all Jin Zhenzhong's subordinates turned into shaking heads—one asked three questions.

Someone asked, then continue to search along the tire marks?

How did you find it?Are Bai Shujie's soldiers fools?When I was by the Yongding River, it showed a kind of "heavy military might" of the Japanese Imperial Army, so it showed a "high-spirited" and "upright" attitude, so the tire marks were retained!

After the convoy brushes past Beiping City, if you want to find tire marks, go to hell!

The light rain has been falling non-stop recently, and the road is covered with mud. Even if there was a trace, it has long since disappeared, let alone how many turns the team has made!

Besides, a reconnaissance company consists of more than 200 war horses. After sending the convoy out of the country, they had nothing to do, so they wandered back and forth on the nearby roads in all directions, turning the roads around Beiping into muddy ponds.

On the one hand, destroy the traces, on the other hand, we need to see if there are little devils chasing us.If it weren't for the worry that Jin Zhenzhong, the third battalion commander of the 29th Army, would cause a misunderstanding, the reconnaissance company would have rushed to the vicinity of Wanping City and wandered around twice.

One hundred percent of the chariot equipment of a brigade is missing!

Fufumi Yamashita was forced to be helpless, and even forced the squadron to be in danger of being struck by lightning. He took off four sorties in the rain and scouted the entire surrounding area of ​​Peiping, but there was still no trace.

After Bai Shujie received the telegram from Zou Baoyin of the Chicheng Police Corps, he immediately ordered the convoy to rest during the day and set off at night, and rushed to Guyuan County to rest for a day, and then returned to Chengde through Duolun overnight.

Let's not mention how Bai Shujie handles the equipment of this loading brigade.

It is said that after Commander Zhao Dengyu of the 132nd Division of the Nanyuan garrison got the news, he began to calculate some possibilities in his heart.After all, Nanyuan is only more than ten kilometers away from Fengtai, and it is impossible for him not to know about such a big commotion in the early morning.

Although the Japanese tightly sealed the news and didn't figure out what happened for a while, the scouts of Commander Zhao Dengyu didn't eat dry food.After some investigation and unannounced visits, I also heard some rumors more or less.

People who came out of the town all said that it was a lively scene in the middle of the night last night!The entire barracks of the Japanese were on fire, and the gunshots sounded like fried beans!

The only regret is that I didn't figure out who did it.

Commander Zhao Dengyu was also very confused: "It can be said that Beiping is full of turmoil and everyone is in danger. Who has such a great ability to go directly into the little devil's barracks and make a scene in heaven?"

But after a short time, Mr. Zhao Dengyu began to form some kind of speculation in his mind!

Because the fight between his cousin Zhao Dengshun and Wei Chong has always been fierce, and Wei Chong's many actions have been through Zhao Dengshun's defense zone.

This time there was such a big movement suddenly, and it made the little devil and everyone confused. Zhao Dengyu immediately thought of Wei Chong in Raoyang.Thinking of Wei Chong, Zhao Dengyu naturally thought of Bai Shujie from Rehe.

However, since Bai Shujie appeared, he rarely messed around on the territory of the 29th Army.So if he did it this time, what was his purpose?Why didn't he hesitate anymore, and made such a big commotion?

Also, after the Shagang explosion, all the news media reprinted the draft of the "Chengde Frontline Daily". Why did Bai Shujie know so clearly?Could it be that behind the explosion in the sandy hills, is there any question worthy of scrutiny?

Zhao Dengyu had a glimmer of understanding, and immediately thought about it: "Dengshun, there is nothing going on recently, you also go to Raoyang for a walk, don't you understand that there are not too many shells? Also, the little devil increases his troops every day. Now There are two more brigades coming from Tanggu, Tianjin. If there is a fight and our cannons have no shells, then let’s do it!”

"Brother, do you want cannonballs?" Zhao Dengshun is not an idiot either. Now that the enemy is in front of him, he even said that there is nothing wrong. Who will believe it? "Do you need to verify some things?"

"You can know it in your heart, and don't talk nonsense. Go and come back quickly, don't delay." Zhao Dengyu smiled slightly: "I hope the gods will guide the way, and I can get out of the predicament!"

Commander Zhao Dengshun, that is the army that Zhao Dengyu started from.Back then, in order to rescue the big bandit Xu Erhei, he almost fought with Zou Baoyin.Later, the misunderstanding was cleared up, and Bai Shujie also gave him equipment for an artillery battalion.

Since then, as long as there is no urgent military situation, Zhao Dengshun will often visit Rao'an.With this coming and going, Zhao Dengshun, Wei Chong, and Wang Sanju became good buddies.

Anyway, the bullets and small-caliber artillery shells in Chengde Sanxiandong Armory were piled up like a mountain. Zhao Dengshun opened the door for convenience in his own defense area. Every time Wei Chong's supplies passed by, he would never pass by empty-handed.

However, the borders in Beiping have not been peaceful recently.Unexpectedly, Zhao Dengshun came to the door in the rain today. Wei Chong smiled and said to Wang Sanju, the deputy division commander: "There must be a reason for the person who came, and the boss's affairs are settled. Come, let's go out to meet him."

Wei Chong led Wang Sanju to the gate of the city: "The little devils in Tianjin have massively increased their troops. Brother Zhao is not preparing for the war in Nanyuan. How can he have time to come to me?"

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
