Tian Boguang gritted his teeth and said: "Then let my subordinates end her life personally. I can also forge the reasons why she cannot attend the transaction. Because now Oshima Yoshikura has completely believed in me. Sir, as long as we have a thorough plan, there will be no Thanks to Chieko’s internal support, even if we don’t raid the treasury, we can still steal the transaction cash without affecting the original plan. Please trust me for once.”
…
On the night of September 18, 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army entrenched in Northeast China followed a carefully planned plot and used the railway "garrison" to blow up the tracks of the Japanese-built South Manchuria Railway near Liutiao Lake in Shenyang, and blamed the Chinese army. The Japanese army Using this as an excuse, they bombarded the Beida Camp of the Northeastern Army of China. 300 Japanese troops broke through the Beida Camp where 8,000 Northeastern Army troops were stationed. This created the "September 18th Incident" that shocked China and foreign countries. The next day, the Japanese army invaded Shenyang and successively occupied the three northeastern provinces. .
The September 18th Incident was a war of aggression against China deliberately created and launched by Japan. It was the beginning of Japan's invasion of China. It was also the beginning of the 14-year Anti-Japanese War defined by later generations of history.
What is ridiculous is that although the main force of the Northeast Army was within Shanhaiguan at that time, the number of regular troops left behind in the Northeast was still as high as 156,000. Including the local police force, the total number was 200,000.
The Japanese army is just a regular army of more than 15,000 people in the Northeast (the 2nd Division is a downsized force, each infantry regiment lacks 1 infantry group, and each group lacks 1 infantry squadron, the whole division is about 10,400 people; 6 Independent garrison brigade, each brigade has 4 infantry squadrons, each squadron has 160 people, a total of about 4,000 people; there are also Lushun Fortress troops and heavy artillery brigade, etc.), and there are about more than 10,000 auxiliary troops such as soldiers and police in the countryside. In total, there are The number of troops is about 27,000.
Since the Northeast Army troops received many orders from Marshal Zhang not to resist at that time, in the face of the sudden attack by the Japanese army, except for a small number who resisted heroically, the rest retreated without a fight. At 8:00 a.m. on September 19, 1931, the Japanese army almost When faced with resistance, the entire city of Shenyang was occupied, and the Northeastern Army withdrew to Jinzhou.
After that, the Chinese armies in various parts of the Northeast either declared "independence" or continued to implement Zhang Xueliang's non-resistance doctrine, allowing the Japanese army to quickly occupy most of the three provinces of Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang. Although some Northeastern troops joined the surging anti-Japanese volunteer army, However, the cold climate and sparse villages in the Northeast made it difficult for the resistance movement to achieve significant results.
This resulted in the most bizarre scene in the history of world wars and the most humiliating scene in Chinese history. 200,000 well-equipped Northeastern troops were chased by more than 20,000 Japanese troops like chickens and sheep, and fled into the pass in embarrassment, throwing away their armor. Among them. Some of them surrendered directly to the Japanese army and became accomplices and traitors of the Japanese army's occupation of Northeast China.
Let’s take a look at the weapons and equipment of the Northeast Army seized after Japan occupied Northeast China: more than 260 aircraft, more than 60 tanks, more than 3,000 light and heavy artillery pieces, more than 4,000 light and heavy machine guns, more than 120,000 rifles, and more than 2,300 cars. , and the ammunition is countless.
There was also the Shenyang Arsenal, which was known as the largest arsenal in China at the time. It had more than 8,000 units (sets) of various machines, and produced 300,000 rounds of ammunition and more than 4,000 rifles every day. Taking the manufacture of artillery as an example, the arsenal can manufacture various models of artillery. There are everything from mortars, mountain guns, field guns, flat-fire guns, and anti-aircraft guns, and howitzers with calibers ranging from 75 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm, and 240 mm. The annual output of large-caliber artillery is 150 pieces, and the annual output of small-caliber artillery is nearly 100 pieces. Thousands of guns, with an annual output of more than 200,000 rounds of artillery shells.
Before the "September 18th" Incident, the Northeastern Army basically did not participate in many wars, so that there was a large amount of inventory in the Shenyang Arsenal. When the Kwantung Army entered the arsenal, they were all stunned by the scene before them. It is no exaggeration to say that the Kwantung Army Without any effort, the Northeast Army took over an advanced arsenal with a complete system and complete equipment, the largest in Asia. After being transformed by the Japanese army, this arsenal produced a large amount of weapons and equipment for the Japanese army that invaded China six years later.
By February 1932, all of Northeast China had fallen. After that, Japan established the puppet regime of Manchukuo in Northeast China and began a 14-year-long enslavement and colonial rule of the Northeast people, starving more than 30 million compatriots in Northeast China. The painful feeling of being a slave to a subjugated country.
As the saying goes: 200,000 people all took off their armor, and not one of them was a man.
…
On the afternoon of September 19, 1931, the sky in Tianjin was gray, and sparse raindrops fell on the houses and streets, making the entire Japanese concession look dull and depressing.
The news that the Japanese Kwantung Army suddenly attacked and captured Shenyang has spread to the Japanese concession through major newspapers. The pedestrians on the street are all in a hurry, with an unusual dignity and solemnity on their faces. Of course, there are also some Japanese faces with Excitement and glory.
But it is undeniable that both Japanese expats and Chinese people are worried and confused about the future. The streets that are usually crowded with people are much less crowded than before, and the streets are slightly empty. The dancing autumn leaves and raindrops reveal a bit of withering and silence.
At 6:20 pm, in the drizzle, a black Pontiac car drove slowly from Xu Street. The car drove to the entrance of Yongjin Bank and stopped. At this time, several people quickly walked out of the bank. It was Takeda Kaede who took the lead, followed by Oshima Yoshikura and Chieko.
Takeda Kaede walked to the front of the car and bowed, and then said a few words to the half-open window of the back seat. Three young men in suits got out of the car. One of them was a bit more handsome than a woman. The driver is a young man with big eyes and a smile on his face. The most eye-catching thing is a big man in a black suit who looks like an iron tower.
The strong man got off the car and looked around alertly, then opened the rear door and opened a big umbrella with his right hand. At this time, he saw a young man wearing sunglasses and a beige suit getting out of the car and looking around. Kaede Takeda, who was standing respectfully, nodded and walked towards Oshima Yoshikura, who was also waiting at the door.
Oshima Yoshikura has been shocked by the power of this big man. Even if he searches all over Japan, there are not many such tall and powerful bodyguards. Not to mention the man who is more beautiful than a woman who follows him. "You are indeed a big man. The big shot in the family, his driver and bodyguards are all one-of-a-kind characters."
Takeda Kaede stepped forward and introduced: "Oshima-kun, this is Takeda Nobuyoshi, the person in charge of this transaction."
I saw the young man named Takeda Nobuyoshi raising his hand to stop Takeda Kaede's introduction. He smiled slightly and said in pure Japanese: "Second brother, no introduction is needed. This must be Manager Oshima. Then this beautiful lady The lady is Miss Chieko, whom I have admired for a long time."
Oshima Yoshikura and Chieko quickly bowed and said at the same time: "I have met Mr. Takeda, please take care of me."
Takeda Nobuyoshi smiled and said: "Oshima-kun, are we going to trade in the rain?"
Oshima Yoshikura hurriedly led the way, and the group entered the bank gate.
Needless to say, Takeda Nobuyoshi was Zhou Wen, and his entourage was naturally Miaohua, Zhang Xiaoping and Ti Jing. At this time, Zhang Xiaoping had already taken two oversized suitcases from the car, and Takeda Kaede hurriedly entered the door.
I took one in front of me. Looking at the way they were struggling, this suitcase was quite heavy.
But after Zhou Wen and the others followed Oshima Yoshikura into the bank lobby, Zhou Wen took off his sunglasses and looked around, and found that there were indeed four strong men in gray suits standing around. Seeing Zhou Wen's eyes, they all bowed respectfully to Zhou Wen
salute.
Zhou Wen nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Miaohua and Tijing and said, "Just wait here, and we will give some bonuses to these dedicated guards later."
"Hi!" Miaohua and Tijing both bowed in response.
The four Japanese guards nearby were secretly happy after hearing this. They did not expect such a good thing. You must know that this is a child of a rich family, how can he take less action?
After Zhou Wen finished speaking, he took Takeda Kaede and Zhang Xiaoping and followed Oshima Yoshikura to the second floor. When he arrived at the reception room, he found that there was already a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a younger clerk waiting inside. The table in the reception room
There are also two large boxes on it, which look like they should be filled with US dollars and pounds. There are also weighing scales and some inspection tools.
Oshima Yoshikura also wanted to introduce these two people to Zhou Wen, but Zhou Wen waved his hand and said: "No need to bother, I am very pressed for time. Second brother, let Mr. Oshima take a look at the goods first."
"Hi!" After Takeda Kaede responded, he put the suitcase in his hand on the table, opened the button, and opened the lid of the suitcase. He saw a suitcase full of large yellow croaker gold bars neatly stacked.
Oranges flashed, lighting up the eyes of Oshima Yoshikura and his men. At this time, Zhang Xiaoping also put the second suitcase on the table.
At this time, the middle-aged man wearing glasses wanted to reach out to pick up the gold bar and check it, but Zhou Wen stopped him. Under Oshima Yoshikura's puzzled gaze, Zhou Wen said to Takeda Kaede: "Second brother, go check the third floor.
Is there anyone else on the second floor? This transaction must be kept confidential."
"Hi!" Takeda Kaede responded and walked out. Zhou Wen didn't say anything, just sat quietly on the sofa and waited. At this time, the atmosphere in the reception room was a little weird, even a little strange, as if something unknown was about to happen.
Zhou Wen's superhuman senses could hear Chieko's faster and faster heartbeat and heavy breathing. Even Oshima Yoshikura, who was standing next to her, began to notice something strange about her.
Zhou Wen secretly sighed. She is an ordinary woman after all, and she can't stand the pressure at first. But it's not bad. She was quite calm and calm when she was at the door just now. She has to admit that the power of love is really great.
Oshima Yoshikura looked strangely at Chieko, who was pale, sweating, and looking increasingly nervous, and asked: "What's wrong, Chieko, are you feeling unwell?"
At this moment, Chieko felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her mouth, her throat was dry, and she couldn't speak anymore...
