Yata carefully read the thin piece of paper that Yuan Jinkai handed him, and his brows knitted into a big knot. He instinctively felt that he was going to be cheated by Zhang Zuolin like last time, but his reason told Yata that if this matter
Once it is verified, it will definitely deserve the attention of the Japanese government, and his mind is constantly wavering.
"Yuan Sang, are you sure that what you found out about the North Koreans conspiring against the Japanese government is true?"
Yuan Jinkai said with a smile: "Mr. Yata, you can rest assured that we will never deceive the Japanese side. We caught some people and got some propaganda materials, and found that they were trying to establish a government-in-exile, but due to the identity of the captured people
It is relatively low and it is impossible to determine the scale of this organization. But we are good friends with the Japanese and will never sit back and watch the North Koreans use China as a base to harm the interests of Japanese friends. Therefore, when we found this evidence, we took decisive measures
action.”
Yuan Jinkai is also a great actor, and he speaks very sincerely, as if he is thinking about the Japanese. Even Yata began to waver. Japan annexed North Korea, and some Koreans who were unwilling to be enslaved by Japan ran to China and established a resistance.
organization and strive to restore North Korea's political status.
In 1909, the Korean martyr An Jung-geun killed the Sino-Japanese War criminal Ito Hirobumi in Harbin, which shocked the whole world for a while. The Japanese government and opposition parties were very clear about the existence of Korean resistance forces in Northeast China. However, the composition of Koreans in China is relatively complex, and most of them are refugees and
There are also a considerable number of ordinary businessmen who serve the Japanese and act as Japan's minions to understand and control the three northeastern provinces. However, the Japanese have no idea how many people there are and how powerful they are to resist Japan.
Of course, it was precisely because the Japanese were confused on this issue that they gave Zhang Tinglan room to operate. Based on the information he collected, he processed it and made it half-truth and half-false. This kind of thing is the most difficult to distinguish.
"You said North Korea is trying to form a government-in-exile. Is there any evidence for this?"
"Of course there is. We found a batch of leaflets for the establishment of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea and some official documents. These things strongly prove that the North Koreans are at least preparing to establish a government in exile."
"Then do you know the size of the North Korean resistance organization?"
"I have already said that what we captured were low-level peripheral personnel. Their understanding was very limited. After Master Zhang obtained this information, he immediately launched an operation, hoping to capture their big boss. Only in this way can we find out
The entire anti-Japanese gang.”
Yata listened carefully to Yuan Jinkai's introduction. It seemed that there were indeed strong anti-Japanese forces in the three northeastern provinces. Northeast China and North Korea were only separated by a river. If the North Koreans used Northeast China as a base to launch an attack on Japan, it would indeed be a big problem.
trouble.
Yata asked in a gloomy voice: "Yuan Sang, why didn't you report it to me immediately after you obtained the information? Let the Japanese handle these matters so that there will be no misunderstandings."
"Mr. Yata, China's confidentiality work has always been very backward. Mr. Zhang is worried about leaks, and Mr. Zhang learned that a North Korean named Park In-yong claims to be the president of the Koryo Society, but in fact he may be a North Korean anti-Japanese gang.
The leader, Mr. Zhang, also wanted to do something to enhance our friendship with Japan and eliminate misunderstandings. He originally thought that after catching Park In-yong, all the personnel and information involved in the case would be successfully handed over to the Japanese side."
Yata tried to find loopholes in Yuan Jinkai's words. He asked: "Mr. Nishimura has reported to me that the villa you attacked was not a Korean stronghold, but the villa of Mr. Shengyun, a former Qing official, and you arrested him without reason.
Japanese, how do you explain this?"
When Yuan Jinkai saw Yata, he began to believe it, and he relaxed a lot. He smiled and said: "Mr. Shengyun is involved in other cases. This is completely China's internal affairs and we are not in a position to disclose it to Japan. But there is one thing we can be sure of.
, the North Korean Park In-yong was in the villa, and we also captured him. As for why the Japanese were arrested, I think there may be a misunderstanding. In order to prevent the news from leaking, Mr. Zhang did not explain the details to the personnel performing the task.
I just learned that there is nothing wrong with soldiers carrying out the orders of their commanders, but I have another question: why are the Japanese and anti-Japanese Koreans and former Qing bureaucrats getting together?"
Yata fell into passivity from the beginning of this conversation. The reason was very simple, that is, information asymmetry. Yata did not know anything about the Korean resistance organization. When Yuan Jinkai repeatedly mentioned this issue, Yata had no choice but to
Being led by Yuan Jinkai, I lost my grasp of the whole thing.
Yata said with a gloomy face: "Since you are doing it for the interests of Japan, why do you want to mobilize the army to confront the soldiers of the empire? Or are your previous words just rhetoric to deceive the empire?"
"Mr. Yata, you have to be reasonable. It was the Japanese garrison who took the lead, so we had to take countermeasures. We want to help our Japanese friends, but we are the Chinese Communist Party and we must also have an explanation for our country and people. We
We can't just kneel down and beg for surrender after seeing the Japanese army just to show friendship and let you disarm us."
Facing Yuan Jinkai's sharp tongue, Yata completely lost the ability to cope. What he wants to do most now is to end the confrontation with the 27th Division as soon as possible, let that idiot Nishimura withdraw his troops, and then carefully investigate the problem of the Korean Restoration Group.
This is the main problem at present.
Of course Yata also knew that the 27th Division had its own agenda, but these were not important anymore. As Yuan Jinkai said, the Japanese government could not tolerate the Koreans using China as a base to affect North Korea's security. You must know that the Korean Peninsula is where Japan has landed.
As the springboard of the Asian continent, Japan absolutely does not want any problems to arise here.
"Yuan Sang, since we all believe that there is a misunderstanding about the matter before us, let us immediately end this stupid confrontation and launch a joint investigation."
While Yuan Jinkai and Yata were negotiating, major changes had taken place on the front line of the Sino-Japanese confrontation. After receiving Zhang Zuolin's order, Sun Liechen quickly rushed to the scene of the incident with a brigade of Fengjun soldiers. During this time, Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang's father and son
The cooperation was very pleasant, so as soon as he heard that they were threatened, Sun Liechen used all his capable forces.
The confrontation between China and Japan has lasted for more than an hour, which is not a short time. Nishimura saw Fengjun setting up machine guns and cannons in a desperate posture. He knew that he could not attack by force, but he was even more unwilling to just do it.
Withdrew in despair.
As a mid-level and senior Japanese military officer, Nishimura has an extraordinary sense of superiority. On the ground in the Far East, the Imperial Japanese Army is the undisputed boss, and China and Russia are not worth mentioning. He happened to be defeated by China again.
To save face, Nishimura was thinking about how to take revenge.
Even though there were machine guns and artillery on the opposite side, he was not too scared. Nishimura sent out small teams several times to try to bypass the front of Fengjun and disrupt Fengjun's formation. In response to Nishimura's risky actions, Zhang Zuoxiang had ordered his men to resolutely counterattack.
As the most powerful general under Zhang Zuoxiang, Sun Anhu personally found more than twenty capable soldiers among the soldiers, mounted the best war horses, and patrolled the perimeter.
Fengjun has a bandit background, and the army's combat effectiveness is not strong. However, this does not mean that Fengjun's individual soldier quality is not good. What Fengjun lacks is military discipline and tactical coordination. Fengjun is not weak in terms of individual soldier quality. Take Sun Anhu.
These selected people all have excellent marksmanship. They can shoot money eyes during the day and incense sticks at night. They are definitely sharpshooters with perfect shots.
In addition, their equestrian skills are also very amazing. What is hiding in stirrups, what is pulling flags with the wind, and they can do all kinds of tricks smoothly. They let go of their horses, like a whirlwind, and the small team sent by Japan also
Before they could get close to Fengjun, they were dispersed by them and were in a very embarrassed state.
This scene was all seen by Zhang Tinglan, and his impression of Fengjun also changed greatly. These bandit soldiers definitely used the wrong resources. Many of them can be selected and used as special forces.
What they need is strict records and excellent cooperation.
The three northeastern provinces did not receive large-scale immigration until the late Qing Dynasty. In the past, this area was virgin land. Because of its short development history, the government power and local clan power in the northeast were very weak, and the people were infected with the fierce spirit of the nomads.
Bandits are everywhere in the Northeast.
On the one hand, this is a huge threat to public security, but on the other hand, it is also a good thing. If used properly, Fengjun will have sufficient potential sources of troops and can quickly form a powerful army. Although now
They are still fighting against the Japanese, but Zhang Tinglan has already turned his thoughts to the future. There are so many good men in the Feng army. They cannot just serve as good soldiers in the civil war, but when it comes to defending the country, they will become a turtle with no shot.
If you let go, you will lose the three eastern provinces. No matter who is responsible, this is a shame for Fengjun.
As long as this incident is over, Fengjun should reorganize its armaments, seize the guns and money bags, and quickly become stronger. In the future, the little devils will never want to get involved in the three eastern provinces.
While Zhang Tinglan was thinking about the future, Sun Liechen led five hundred cavalrymen like a whirlwind from the direction of Fengtian City. His troops did not meet Zhang Zuo directly, but took advantage of the speed of the cavalry to penetrate Japan.
The soldiers' retreat surrounded them in the middle.
After Sun Liechen directed his subordinates to circle the Japanese soldiers, he took the initiative to come to Zhang Zuoxiang and asked loudly: "Fuchen, Tinglan, are you all okay? I'm late."
"It's not too late, it's not too late." Zhang Zuoxiang hurriedly came over, followed closely by Zhang Tinglan. He suddenly turned his eyes and had an idea: "Sixth Master, did you see that your troops are coming? We have already occupied the area.
We have the advantage, but those Japanese soldiers are still confident. We dare not take action if they are sure. If the confrontation continues like this, it will not look good on our face. I think it is better to disarm them all and let these little Japanese lose their face.
