It is basically confirmed that Yoshikura Oshima, the manager of Yongjin Bank, Chieko, the lobby manager, and the following staff and security personnel were killed, a total of 15 people. The loss of funds is unknown. It can only be confirmed after verification by Yongjin Bank headquarters.
Under the influence of the current Manchurian Incident, it is impossible for the Chinese government to provide any effective help for the robbery of Yongjin Bank. It can only report the investigation results of the case to Japanese agencies in various parts of China to assist in the investigation, solve the case and arrest the suspects in a short time.
Catching the murderer is too difficult.
As a result, the explosion gradually faded out of people's sight with the passage of time and the Japanese Kwantung Army's series of actions in the Northeast. At present, all Chinese and international attention is on Northeast China. When will the Northeast Army not
Then retreat instead of rising up to resist? When will China's army in the pass go to the Northeast to join the war? Where is the bottom line of the Northeast Army? Where is China's bottom line?
"The bottom line of our country is that there is no bottom line." Before Zhou Wen's voice fell, there was an uproar around him.
Gao Xiaoshan roared angrily: "Awen, is it possible that our country is just watching the Japanese tyrannize in the Northeast, beating hundreds of thousands of people to pieces by tens of thousands? Are they still men?"
It turns out that this is already the third day after Zhou Wen returned to Taiyuan. The joy of the mercenary group's success in robbing Japan's Yongjin Bank and the joy of the huge harvest have been replaced by a failed battle report and reports of Fengtian, Siping, Yingkou, etc. in the northeast.
The news that 18 towns along the Southern Manchuria Railway and Anfeng-Fengcheng Railway including Fenghuang City, Andong, etc. were all wiped out. What appeared instead were the unwilling and aggrieved faces of the brothers, and the angry and confused faces of the brothers.
Eyes.
Today, Zhou Wen held an enlarged meeting of the leadership of the mercenary regiment. Attending the meeting were not only Gao Xiaoshan, Miaohua and Uncle Wu, but also Xu Dacheng, Zhang Xiaoping and the leaders of each group. The content of the discussion was the situation in Northeast China and the future.
response.
Gao Xiaoshan then looked at Zhou Wen expectantly and said: "Awen, is the country still gathering heavy troops? Yes, our country's local ladies cannot mobilize too many troops at once. They must be gathering heavy troops. That must be the case.
"Our country has so many people and so many soldiers. Even one person can drown these tens of thousands of little Japanese with just a spit of spit."
Seeing Gao Xiaoshan and the other brothers infected by him staring at him with blood-red eyes, hoping that he could say "yes". Zhou Wen's heart felt as painful as being cut by a knife.
I was so miserable that I couldn't speak for a while.
The room fell into a dull silence for a while, with only Old Uncle Wu blowing out smoke. In the smoke, Miaohua, who had been staring at the map, suddenly said: "Jinzhou, as long as we hold Jinzhou, the gate to the Northeast will be closed."
If not, as long as Jinzhou is defended, the troops in the pass can continue to move up, and it will be impossible for little Japan to gain a foothold in the Northeast. I am afraid that the country is considering a decisive battle with little Japan in Jinzhou, Awen, do you think so?"
Zhou Wen sighed. Even a low-level officer like Miaohua, who had only commanded dozens of people in large-scale battles, could see the problem. Could it be that the senior officials of the Northeast Army and the government couldn't see it?
When the Kwantung Army launched the September 18th Incident, Marshal Zhang was watching a theater in Fengtian and received the telegram that night. His first reaction was neither to send troops to counterattack nor to contact the Japanese side for negotiation, but to immediately abandon Fengtian and order the troops to retreat.
The principal of Jinzhou and Nanjing was in Jiangxi at the time. He only heard about it the next day and felt it was baffling (China and Japan were negotiating on Northeastern affairs at the time). It took another two days to return to Nanjing and officially received the September 18 report.
Report of the incident.
Nanjing's response was to contact the League of Nations to negotiate with the Japanese, and on the other hand, send a telegram to Marshal Zhang to hold on to Jinzhou and wait for support from the Central Army. In addition, troops were mobilized to prepare for war in areas such as Qingdao and Shanghai that might be invaded by Japan.
As a result, Mr. Zhang not only refused to send reinforcements to Heilongjiang, which was resisting bravely, but also stood still in Jinzhou, where the heavy troops were assembled, while the Japanese encroached on the Northeast for three months. It took the Japanese four months to eat them up.
After the invasion of Northeast China, Zhang Xueliang was required to withdraw from Jinzhou, otherwise he would launch an attack. The Nanjing government twice telegraphed Zhang Xueliang not to withdraw from Jinzhou, but Mr. Zhang refused to execute the order and directly led his troops to withdraw from Shanhaiguan in January 1932.
The established policy of the Nationalist Government in dealing with Japan was to negotiate and resist at the same time. It was also a provocation. When the Japanese invaded Shanghai, they were resolutely counterattacked by the Chinese 19th Route Army and persisted until the Central Army came up for reinforcements. However, Marshal Zhang's Northeastern Army
He is the largest warlord in the country. To be precise, the National Government cannot issue truly effective orders to him.
After the Central Plains War, the entire Northeast and most of North China became the territory of the Northeast Army. If he did not agree, the National Army belonging to the Nanjing government would not be able to enter these areas. Therefore, whether to resist or not is up to Marshal Zhang himself.
He had the final say. And he led the Northeast Army without firing a single shot, without directly contacting the Kwantung Army, and abandoned the Northeast that his father had run for decades. The Nanjing central government could only stare at this and take no action from him.
There is no way.
This situation of local disobedience to central military orders did not change until Japan fully invaded China six years later. At that time, China was already in a situation where there was no retreat and no escape. The only way out was for all the political and military forces in the country to
Only by uniting the forces, uniting the whole country with the same hatred of the enemy, and fighting bravely can we save the national crisis that is about to be subjugated and annihilated. Only at that period did the central government basically implement orders and prohibitions, bring all the country's military forces under its command, and mobilize them centrally.
Focus on fighting.
Only then can the central government truly enforce battlefield discipline and punish those warlords who ignore the national crisis and national justice and only want to preserve their strength.
A famous example occurred in the winter of 1937, when the Japanese army launched a massive attack on Shandong. In order to preserve its strength, Chairman Han of Shandong Province abandoned Jinan without a fight.
When the Japanese army advanced to Shandong, Chairman Han, a second-level general of the country, faced the aggressive approach of the Japanese army. In addition, when the war was approaching, the principal did not trust him and transferred the Central Army's heavy artillery brigade promised to him to Tang Enbo's department. Han
In order to preserve the strength of his direct troops, the Chairman almost retreated without a fight, and even took the initiative to abandon the natural dangers of the Yellow River and Mount Tai. Within a few days, he abandoned the Yellow River defense line that was originally expected to be defendable for several weeks.
As a result, at the subsequent military meeting, the central government immediately arrested and tried Chairman Han, and quickly executed him. This was also the only national second-level general to be executed by shooting in the history of the Republic of China. Regardless of whether Chairman Han was shot
There are many political factors behind this, and no matter how many good governance and good deeds Chairman Han has done when he was in charge of Shandong Province, the crime of disobeying military orders to preserve his strength during the national crisis is enough to sentence him to death.
