"Excuse me, the Black Tiger Army launched a fierce battle with the Japanese army at Longmen Station."
"Excuse me, the Black Tiger Army completely annihilated the 77th Regiment of the Japanese Army at Longmen"
"Excuse me, the Black Tiger Army captured the flag of the 77th Regiment of the Japanese Army"
Peiping, Nanjing, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Wuhan were all shaken. An unknown local armed force instantly became a household name across the country.
Once upon a time, the news that the Black Tiger Army would be renamed to take over the Chahar border defense made Su Tong and his Black Tiger Army the laughing stock of people after dinner, and also became a clown in the eyes of dignitaries in the upper class. With the Black Tiger Army's another
As soon as this battle report was released, people couldn't help but re-examine this rapidly rising local armed group.
However, Japan's political ax was half-armed with a pipa and his face was covered, and his reaction was a few beats slow. Two days later, Lieutenant General Umezu Yoshijiro, commander of the North China Garrison Army, issued a shy statement: The statement said that the Japanese Emperor
The army clashed with the Black Tiger Army of the Chahar local armed force who broke the Qin-Turkish Agreement at Longmen Station. The Seventy-seventh Division under the 79th Brigade of the mixed reading force made some progress in the conflict with the Black Tiger Army.
losses. However, the Japanese Imperial Army would not tolerate such a thing that ignored the Imperial Army's military power. The Japanese government decided to dispatch the Kwantung Army's 12th Division and the 80th Brigade to form a small group.
The Ji detachment entered Chahar to ensure the implementation of the Qin-Turkish Agreement and the inviolability of the majesty of the Japanese Imperial Army.
At this time, Umezu Yoshijiro was also very depressed. In 1935, the North China garrison had less than 10,000 troops, and it had to guard against the 29th Army in Peiping, so it was impossible to mobilize troops to attack Chahar.
The only mobile force that can be mobilized is the Kwantung Army. The Kwantung Army currently has more than 100,000 troops, and it can mobilize sufficient troops to carry out operations. It made a big mistake within its own jurisdiction, but let the Kwantung Army take over.
You can imagine how depressed Umezu Mijiro felt when he took it out on himself.
The Japanese government was also greatly shocked when one of their regiments was completely wiped out and even the regiment's flag was captured.
Starting from January 23, 1874, Emperor Meiji personally awarded the military flag to the 1st and 2nd Guards Infantry Regiments. From then on, all newly formed infantry and cavalry regiments of the Japanese army must be personally awarded the military flag by the Emperor.
The core of the unity of the army and the spirit of the soldiers towards the military flag are unparalleled in the world."
The Japanese army's military flag is personally awarded by the emperor, and is only owned by the organic infantry regiment and cavalry regiment, so it is also called the regiment flag. According to the regulations of the Japanese Army, if the military flag is present, it will be organized, and if the military flag is lost, it will be punished.
Therefore, the military flag is a very important thing in the Japanese army. One of the best second lieutenant officers in the regiment must be selected as the flag bearer, and a special military flag guard squadron should be set up to protect it. Because of this, in the later World War II, the Allied forces
The troops were all eager to capture the Japanese military flag, but they were unable to do so. Because the Japanese army's combat regulations stipulated that when the battle situation is judged to be in danger of the entire army being annihilated, the military flag should be burned. However, no matter what kind of defeat they suffered, the Japanese army would burn it.
The time to raise the military flag and then commit suicide.
The main reason why the Black Tiger Army was able to capture the flag of the Seventy-seventh Regiment, apart from Colonel Nakano Kent's serious underestimation of his failure, was that the Black Tiger Army used poison gas bombs, which caught the Japanese army off guard.
hand.
Major General Saburo Endo of the 79th Brigade with mixed reading ability still failed to realize his wish to return to China for investigation. The day after his message was sent, the North China Garrison Command sent his successor.
His successor also arrived with two gendarmes. The cold-faced gendarmes showed him an order from the base camp for him to commit suicide by disembowelment.
The ashen-faced Major General Endo Saburo walked into the nearby room under the supervision of the military police. After a while, the military policeman walked out expressionlessly, indicating that the task had been completed and that the body of Major General Endo Saburo could be handed over to his family.

Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, the leader of the National Congress Party, was sitting in his office reading today's newspapers. The expression on Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's face was very strange, like happiness, regret, and disgust. It was hard to tell what he was thinking. After a while,
, a middle-aged man in Chinese tunic suit walked up to him. Chairman Jiang put down the newspaper and asked calmly: "Yunong, have you found anything?"
The middle-aged man lowered his head and replied, "Commissioner, there is very little information about Su Tong. This person seems to have suddenly fallen from the sky. The only thing I know is that he is from Guangxi, and he also speaks with a strong sense of humor.
Guangxi accent.”
"We must seize the time to investigate and find out this person's background, origin, personality, hobbies, and most importantly, the origin of his equipment." Chairman Jiang carefully warned.
"Yes, I will seize the time to investigate." Dai Li stood at attention, turned around and walked out.

Commander Lieutenant General Umezu Yoshijiro was playing chess with Doihara Kenji. Umezu Yoshijiro gently picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Doi-kun, haven't you figured out the origin of that Su Tong yet?"
Kenji Doihara picked up a white chess piece and shook his head slowly, "There is no useful information at all. We know nothing about her origins except that she is from the same hometown as Li Zongren of the Gui clan."
"This damn Su Tong has made our Japanese Imperial Army lose face in front of the whole world. And where did his weapons come from? They are actually more advanced than those of the Central Army of the Congress Party." Umezu Yoshijiro was anxious.
said.
"We have identified the weapons used by the Black Tiger Army. The rifle is an American M1 Garand rifle, and the machine gun is a German mg34 general-purpose machine gun. These two weapons have just been developed and produced. Even the United States and
There is no large-scale production in Germany. I really don’t know how the Black Tiger Army obtained these weapons.” Kenji Doihara shook his head and said helplessly. The newly appointed chief of the Shenyang secret service did not even sit down.
He was invited by Lieutenant General Umezu Yoshijiro to station in the North China Army to investigate the information of the Black Tiger Army.
"No matter what the reason is, those who oppose the Japanese Empire must not be allowed to live in this world. Doi-kun, can your investigation agency eliminate him?"
Doihara Kenji slowly shook his head: "I'm afraid not. This person is very cautious and reclusive. He spends most of his time in the headquarters of the Zhangjiakou Provincial Government. It is difficult for our people to get close to him."
"Send senior officials to tell me that Su Tong must be eliminated." Umezu Yoshijiro said fiercely.

Su Tong was staring at the map in a daze. Now Su Tong has moved the secret warehouse in Duolun to Zhangjiakou, and the oil fields in Duolun have been exploited secretly. Only God knows how long it can be kept secret.
Now the 12th Division of the Japanese Army and the 80th Mixed Reading Brigade form the Koiso Detachment with a total of more than 36,000 soldiers. They are led by Koiso Kuniaki, the commander of the 12th Division.
Approaching Longmen, the situation is already critical.
How should Su Tong resolve this problem?
