Chapter 276: Killing generals and sacrificing flags
"Boom, boom, boom."
At 9 a.m. on July 27, 1937, 12 Japanese aircraft suddenly appeared at the security camp outside the south gate of the old city and carried out indiscriminate bombing.
The bombing killed 15 security guards.
The Japanese called this incident an "accidental bombing".
But obviously, this is the Japanese's crazy revenge for the performance of the security forces during the war!
"15 brothers dead, 15!"
Shen Weigan shouted there: "My teaching corps suffered the most heavy casualties, ten brothers died in total! All my people were in chaos, everyone was shouting that they must take revenge, and I almost couldn't hold it in anymore."
"Shunyi, there is no reply from Su Lianzhang yet." Zhang Qingyu frowned and said: "Only when Tongxian and Shunyi start the uprising at the same time can we increase the possibility of success. Suppress it, we must find every way to suppress it."
After saying that, his eyes fell on Meng Shaoyuan.
"12 planes, such a bombing, could only achieve this little 'result'." Meng Shaoyuan smiled scornfully: "Over there with the 29th Army, the Japanese army used an entire regiment to cooperate with aircraft and artillery, but hundreds of people died. Several generals Captain, I think the combat effectiveness of the Japanese is nothing more than this."
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the three captains thought about it carefully and felt that this was what he said.
Meng Shaoyuan was deliberately trying to boost their confidence: "This bombing by the Japanese seems to be menacing, but it actually helps us a lot. Those who are not firm in their stance will definitely stand on our side on the day of the uprising. They I know the Japanese can't let them go.
What you have to do after you go back is to comfort the soldiers while repeatedly emphasizing the ferocity of the Japanese invaders. Do you know the spring? The tighter the spring is pressed, the greater the force of the rebound. When the day of the uprising actually comes, That anger will unleash the most powerful fighting power."
Having said this, he looked at the time: "It is now 10 o'clock in the morning on the 27th. I am announcing that regardless of whether there is any news from Shunyi, the uprising will be on time at 12 o'clock on the night of the 28th!"
"yes!"
The three captains were all in high spirits.
When they were all excited, Song Deng couldn't help but ask: "Director Meng, since we arrived in Peking, we haven't contacted Nanjing yet."
"Yes, we took action without asking for instructions and reporting, and it was such an earth-shattering action." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "When we go back, we will be beheaded."
"Ah, so serious?"
"It's that serious. I'll kill your head first."
"What about you, Director Meng?"
"Me? I'm fine. I'm the director. I'll tell you when the time comes that you instigated me to do it."
"ah?"
Song Deng was dumbfounded, and after a long time he muttered: "No wonder Sister Yanni and the others said, don't believe Master Meng's words even if you believe in ghosts or gods."
"What did you say?"
"I say Director Meng is wise!"
…
"Mr. Dai, Meng Shaoyuan's whereabouts have been found."
"Where?" Upon hearing this, Dai Li immediately put down the documents in his hand and asked hurriedly.
"Our people in the 29th Army sent word that Meng Shaoyuan went to Wanping, and then Ji Xingwen personally sent his guard company commander to send him to Tong County."
"What?"
Dai Li was startled: "Tong County?"
"It's Tong County. There will be no news about him from now on."
"Tong County, Tong County? What is he doing in Tong County?" Dai Li frowned and murmured there: "What's in Tong County? The puppet government? Yin Rugeng? Where is a battalion of the 29th Army? What else is there?
?Security team? Security team!”
He suddenly raised his head and said, "He is not going to instigate an uprising against the Tong County Security Team."
"Ah?" Tang Zong opened his mouth: "No way, if this kid really does this, then he must be too courageous."
"Old Tang, you just met Meng Shaoyuan today? Is there anything in the world that this kid doesn't dare to do?" Dai Li smiled bitterly, and then said bitterly:
"Such an important action, without asking for instructions or reporting, and acting privately, with no regard for our family law. If he succeeds this time, forget it. If he doesn't succeed, you will see if I can take advantage of him after he comes back.
His skin."
"Mr. Dai, come on." Tang Zong said with a smile: "If this kid fails, we have to find a way to get him back quickly. If he falls into the hands of the Japanese..."
"He deserves it."
Dai Li cursed: "No, this little bastard is becoming more and more lawless. I asked him to go to Shanghai to coordinate relations with all parties. He went to Tong County to start an uprising? Even if he successfully completes the mission and comes back smoothly, I
We must also collect his bones properly."
"It's to scare him." Tang Zong nodded repeatedly: "However, if he can really successfully instigate rebellion against the Tong County Security Team, our military commander will be exposed in a big way."
"Well, that's true. When the time comes, he will be able to speak in front of the old people in Shanghai." A smile flashed across Dai Li's face, and he suddenly realized something:
"Old Tang, you are setting up an ambush and asking for credit for this kid in advance."
"That's right." Tang Zong was still a little worried: "The key question now is whether he can come back alive."
…
After the so-called "accidental bombing" incident by the Japanese, the whole day was uneventful.
The Xuandao Regiment continued to pursue Camp Xu Xihao there, and the Japanese seemed not to be prepared to pursue the security team's negativity in the battle.
As for the casualties of the security team in the "accidental bombing" incident, they just pretended that it had never happened.
In the security team, they had just buried their brother. Although they were relying on their superiors to suppress them, there was no big trouble for the time being, but undercurrents had begun to surge.
On the afternoon of the 28th.
Tong County, Ziqiang Society.
Zhang Qingyu and Shigeru Hosoki, who had just returned, met face to face.
It's too late to avoid it.
As soon as he saw Zhang Qingyu, Hosoki Shigeru immediately asked angrily:
"Captain Zhang, what are you doing there? Why didn't you stop the 29th Army?"
For a Chinese, it was a great shame and humiliation to be reprimanded by a Japanese in front of so many people.
The deaths of his brothers made Zhang Qingyu unable to bear it any longer: "My security team is for maintaining law and order, not fighting. I have no control over it!"
Hosokushige never expected that the Chinese, who were usually groveling, would dare to contradict him like this: "I will withdraw from you!"
Zhang Qingyu sneered: "I was appointed by Chairman Yin, who are you, Xi Mufan?"
"You want to rebel!" Hosokori was furious and whipped out his pistol: "I'll shoot you right now!"
Not to be outdone, Zhang Qingyu also pulled out his pistol: "Xi Mufan, you kill one of them and I'll try!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The Japanese were walking sideways in Tong County.
Now someone actually dares to point a gun at them?
The people around me were afraid that something would happen, so they hurriedly tried to persuade me.
Neither of them dared to actually shoot.
The Xuandao United Team is not in Tong County now. If the security team is forced to rebel, it will be difficult to deal with it. This is Shigeru Hosoki's idea. We will wait until the Xuandao United Team comes back.
And Zhang Qingyu also regretted his reckless behavior out of anger. The uprising was imminent. If his actions were destroyed, he would be a sinner.
So the two went along with the flow, stared at each other, and left under the persuasion of others...
…
"It won't work if we don't fight back."
As soon as he returned to his team headquarters, Zhang Qingyu immediately reported what had just happened to Meng Shaoyuan.
"There are still a few hours." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "We will give the brothers an extra meal in the evening. After dinner, the security team is only allowed in but not out. The attack will start at 12 o'clock on time!"
"Understood. By the way, Su Lianzhang from Shunyi called back and said he is willing to join the uprising!"
"Okay!" Meng Shaoyuan stood up suddenly: "Inform Zhang Yantian and Shen Weiqian to prepare for an uprising!"
…
July 28, 1937, 11:30 at night.
All officers of the Tong County Security Force, big and small, were summoned.
In fact, by this time, everyone already knows what will happen.
Zhang Qingyu appeared in front of them with a solemn expression: "Brothers, yesterday, the Japanese bombed our camp and 15 brothers died. We loyally acted as dogs for the Japanese, but in the eyes of the Japanese, we are worse than dogs.
Not as good as that!”
"Rebellion, Commander Zhang!" an officer shouted loudly.
"It's against us, it's against us! Sooner or later, the Japanese will come to deal with us. If we raise our head with a knife, it will also be a knife if we shrink our head. We might as well fight them to the death!"
"Quiet, quiet." Zhang Qingyu asked everyone to quiet down, pointed to the young man beside him and said: "This is the special commissioner from Nanjing. Now there is no need to hide it from everyone. Next, we will ask the special commissioner to give a lecture!
"
Meng Shaoyuan waved his hand, and two soldiers brought out Watanabe Hiroo, who was injured in his leg.
"Brothers." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "I won't talk about the big principles. The brother just said it well. If you extend your head with a knife, if you shrink your head with a knife, it will kill you! On behalf of the National Government, I welcome the brothers of the security team! Anyway, we!
We will cause chaos in Tong County, and then go to Baoding, where the Nationalist Government's troops will support us!"
He nodded towards Song Deng.
Song Deng and a soldier immediately took out a flag and unfolded it in public.
That is, the blue sky and white sun are all red!
Everyone's eyes fell on this flag.
"Behead the generals and sacrifice the flag!"
A sharp knife was delivered to Meng Shaoyuan's hand.
Meng Shaoyuan took a deep breath: "Pick him up for me!"
Hiroo Watanabe was lifted up.
There was no way to hide the fear in his eyes!
"Behead the generals and sacrifice the flag!"
Meng Shaoyuan repeated these four words again, and then plunged the knife into Hirofo Watanabe's throat.
Blood splashed all over him.
Meng Shaoyuan wiped the blood off the knife:
"I kill the Japanese as if I were killing a dog!"
Without too much encouragement, just such a knife and a word have mobilized the enthusiasm of all the officers and soldiers involved in the uprising.
I kill Japanese people like I kill a dog!
We kill the Japanese like we kill a bunch of dogs!
Meng Shaoyuan said word by word:
"I declare that the uprising has begun!"
The uprising begins!
"Uprising! Uprising!"
The roar can no longer be contained!
Meng Shaoyuan glanced at Watanabe Hiroo's body on the ground, then took out a playing card from his pocket and threw it on his body.
That's a picture:
Chapter completed!
