Hirohito asked in disbelief, "Is this true? A Soviet general would defect?"
Konoe said excitedly, "This just shows that your majesty's kindness has spread far and wide overseas, and people are coming to you from all directions."
Hirohito shook his head and said, "That's too much. Did this general provide any important information?"
The guard suddenly became serious and said, "Indeed, Ryushikov reported that Stalin had assembled more than 500,000 troops in the Far East, and had more than 1,300 aircraft, more than 5,000 artillery pieces, and a large number of tanks, and in
There are hundreds of Soviet spies operating in our Manchukuo, and Stalin has a plan. Once China is in danger of total fall, the Soviet Union will send troops to intervene."
Hirohito snorted coldly and said, "It seems that our armistice this time was too easy. The Soviet Union should be punished more severely."
Konoe smiled and said, "But this time we have also figured out the Soviet Union's foundation. The analysis of the battle reports on the front line shows that they are not even as good as the China National Army. The hand-to-hand fighting score is 117:4. As long as they have a few warriors, they will not fight like this."
.There is really no one in the Soviet Red Army who can fight."
Hirohito nodded and said, "I think the plan reported by the Kwantung Army can be considered."
——Wuhan
Agent Jiang sighed, shook his head and said, "It's really disappointing that Japan and the Soviet Union have just called a truce."
He Yingqin raised his glasses and pointed at the map and said, "After Japan and the Soviet Union made peace, the Japanese army in the north immediately began to take action. The Japanese army divided into two groups, attacking Lu'an, the gateway to the Dabie Mountains, and Luoshan, Xinyang, and Wuhan. Our army
The exchange of fire with the Japanese forward troops has already begun."
Agent Jiang nodded and said, "Tell Li Zongren that all troops should resist continuously and don't give the Japanese army a chance to annihilate my main force. Before the Japanese army reaches Wuhan City, I hope he can make the Japanese army pay at least 100,000 casualties."
He Yingqin stood at attention and walked down. After a while, Dai Li walked in.
"Principal, we have found out that the young master borrowed the money from Wei Hua. Do you think we should warn Wei Hua?" Dai Li asked cautiously.
"Haha, this kid has found the right person." Instead of being angry, Agent Jiang laughed and said, "When Jianfeng grows up, let him go. He spent all the money on road construction and people's livelihood, which shows that he
He also knows what he should do. As for training a few officers who are close to him, it is normal. However, it is better to train this man by himself. Okay, you go down. By the way, send a message to Wei Hua. I haven’t read it for a long time.
That bastard is here, ask him to come to Wuhan."
Dai Li's heart tightened, knowing that another political force was about to rise. He nodded slightly and turned to leave.
Agent Jiang squinted his eyes and looked at Dai Li's back, wondering what he was thinking.
After September 18, the pseudo-"Manchukuo" was divided into 14 provinces, 2 special cities, and 1 special district in 1934. The political system was a constitutional monarchy, Puyi was the "Emperor", and the "Reign Title" was "Kant".
Although the Puppet Manchukuo also had various agencies and departments, the real power was in the hands of various "ministry" ministers who were Japanese.
The Puppet Manchukuo State has many ethnic groups, including Han, Manchu, Mongolian, Korean, Japanese, Russian and other ethnic groups. Among them, residents are divided by race, and there are class differences. Since the July 7th Incident, Japan's domestic economy has shown a short-lived prosperity, but
Only industry was prosperous, but agriculture was the first to feel the tremendous pressure. In 1938, Japan began to implement a raw material rationing system. Lao Dingfeng, who was extremely famous in later generations, could only receive a rationed bag of noodles and a few kilograms of sugar every day.
Later, we could only ration a small amount of mixed flour, and we could only use this amount of raw materials to produce dozens of kilograms of mixed flour biscuits every day.
——Wangye Temple
This is the border area of Xing'annan Province of the Puppet Manchukuo State. It is still a grassland area, with endless prairie everywhere. Dozens of fierce horses are running on the grassland. The turf and dust kicked up by the horses' hooves can be seen from a long distance.
"Boss, no, sir, there is a checkpoint ahead. I heard from the herdsmen in front that there are Japanese soldiers there." It was Wang Yong who spoke. Jiang Cheng and his party had been running on the grassland for a week and finally arrived at the Puppet Manchukuo.
's border.
"Everyone, please pay attention to your words and deeds. We will encounter a lot of Japanese in the future. Don't miss anything during the interrogation." Jiang Cheng tidied up his clothes and said, "Okay, let's go."
After a while, an official road appeared in front of everyone. Pedestrians could be seen coming and going from time to time on the official road. A boundary monument appeared in front of Jiang Cheng and others, but it was the boundary monument of the Puppet Manchukuo.
"Hmph!" Ye Jianying snorted coldly and held back his words. Jiang Cheng waved his hands and said, "Everyone, keep going. Don't be too humble. We are samurai of the Japanese Empire."
On the official road, Jiang Cheng could see the living conditions of the Puppet Manchukuo Kingdom. The state of the passers-by on the road could tell his ethnic origin. The Japanese always held their heads high, as if provoking something. Because of the good food, their complexions were relatively bright.
They are rosy, and although the Chinese are not thin, most of them are in a hurry, as if they are running away from something.
"Who are you?" A loud shout called Jiang Cheng out from the perspective of an observer, but when he saw that he was in front of the checkpoint, a dozen Japanese soldiers and puppet Manchurian soldiers asked him nervously, with two crooked hands.
Keep it to yourself, the Japanese military equipment here is much better than inside the pass.
Jiang Cheng took out an ID card from his arms and threw it in the face of the pseudo-Manchurian officer who asked the question, shouting in Japanese, "Baga, if I were the enemy and your entire army had been wiped out, is this how your instructor asked you to stand guard?"
"
When the pseudo-officer heard that it was in Japanese, he quickly raised his ID over his head and handed it to the Japanese soldier next to him.
When the Japanese soldier saw it, he immediately stood at attention and shouted, "Hello, Mr. Captain, I'm sorry, we didn't get the news that you want to pass. We need to ask our superiors for instructions."
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he whipped him with a horsewhip and cursed, "Bagh Yalu, don't you know that I am a member of the Special High-Tech Department who performs a special mission? Do you want everyone to know that this mission will not work? Is your head broken?"
Was it chewed by a dog?”
The Japanese soldier's rank was only a corps leader, while Jiang Cheng's rank was captain. This was a rank reserved only for squadron leaders or reinforced squadrons. There was no way a squad leader could provoke him, so he immediately did not dare to say anything.
At this time, a Japanese officer came out. Jiang Cheng couldn't help frowning when he saw his epaulettes, but he was a lieutenant.
"Lieutenant Jiulong, this is for safety reasons, please forgive me." The lieutenant said slowly, took Jiang Cheng's ID, looked at it, and said, "Why haven't I heard that there is a team like yours from THT?
go out?"
Jiang Cheng pointed at the level indifferently and said, "Then just call me. I was transferred from King De. Of course you haven't heard of it. You people know how to be suspicious, but you can't do anything about the real resistance."
, the higher ups had no choice, so they came to us."
The lieutenant looked at Jiang Cheng suspiciously, walked over and made a phone call.
"Master, do you want to take action?" Li Qian whispered in Jiang Cheng's ear.
Jiang Cheng touched the button in his pocket and said with a smile, "If he can get through this phone call, I will give you a box of candies."
The lieutenant frowned and looked at the phone in his hand, swallowed his saliva, and didn't know what was going on.
"I said, have you got through? The military situation is urgent. Is this how you did things in Manchuria?" Jiang Cheng shouted urgently, and the whip in his hand kept making cracking sounds.
The lieutenant lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked at the certificate in his hand. After confirming once again that it was genuine, he said with a smile, "The phone seems to be broken, but it's just a process. Captain Kowloon still has military matters, so let's go."
Seeing the Japanese soldiers put away their guns, Wang Yong and other people who could not understand Japanese secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Cheng nodded, put away his certificate, waved his hand and shouted, "Forward!"
"Slow!!" The lieutenant suddenly pointed at Li Qian and asked, "Mr. Captain, why are there women in your army?"
Li Qian was shocked at first, then leapt off her horse. A dagger appeared in her hand, flashed behind the lieutenant, and said softly in Japanese, "Iga Ninja Nazi, please give me some advice."
Jiang Cheng laughed loudly and said, "This is a ninja from Iga. He is here to learn. Mr. Lieutenant, you are too rare and strange."
The lieutenant let out an embarrassed chuckle, not daring to speak any more, and watched Jiang Cheng and his party leave.
"203, that scared me to death. How did you know that the call couldn't be reached?" Li Fuchun asked curiously.
"This is not easy. Our people must have cut the phone lines in advance, right?" Sister Cai said with a smile.
Jiang Cheng looked around and said, "Everyone, we have to decide how to leave. My opinion is to take the train to Harbin first."
Ye Jianying nodded and said, "Okay, the Northeast is densely covered with mountains and forests. As long as we reach the Songhua River, it will be easy."
Jiang Cheng pointed to the map and said, "Uncle Ye, Brother Wang, you see, most of our troops are east of Harbin, now called Sanjiang Province. After arriving in Harbin, we can go down the river to Sanjiang Province."
Ye Jianying and Wang Jiaxiang walked forward and took a look for a while, especially when they saw the dense checkpoints along the way from Harbin to Sanjiang Province, they couldn't help but take a breath.
"How come this little devil has built so many checkpoints here? How many times will we be questioned along the way?" Wang Jiaxiang asked worriedly.
Jiang Cheng said helplessly, "There is no way. In order to prevent the Anti-Japanese Alliance from getting supplies, the little devils adopted the system of group tribes, forcibly moving our villagers into them, rationing food for the villagers, and setting up a tight blockade. They established a large number of
In the uninhabited land, sometimes the Japanese Reclamation Corps separated our base areas. Here, don’t trust the people easily, because you don’t know who they are after, and they may even be Japanese.
"
Ye Jianying sighed and said, "The living environment here is too harsh. Guerrilla warfare without the common people is like a fish without water. It will not be easy for Commander Yang."
Jiang Cheng put away the map and said with a smile, "It will be easier with us. Okay, let's set off."
In 1938, train tickets did not require any documents. In fact, there were a large number of stateless people in Manchukuo at this time. Most of these people were Chinese or foreigners, such as Gypsies or Jews, who were unwilling to join Manchukuo.
At that time, there were about 70,000 to 80,000 people, so Jiang Cheng and others got on the train swaggeringly. Since they had military certificates, they could also take the train with guns and ammunition.
Walking eastward, looking at the fields and factories along the way, Jiang Cheng had no feeling that he was from a later generation, but Ye Jianying and others' eyes opened wider and wider. Especially when they arrived in Harbin, they saw wires, cars, and high-rise buildings everywhere, as if they were here.
It’s just like arriving in Shanghai.
"Xiao Liuzi's crime is unpardonable!!" Ye Jianying suddenly said through gritted teeth. Wang Jiaxiang, Li Fuchun and others also nodded in agreement.
Jiang Cheng pointed to the wires and said, "Japan regards this as its own homeland. If there are 100 industries in China, 80 are now in Northeast China, the other 10 are in Taiwan, and the last 10 are within the borders."
Ye Jianying said eagerly, "If we can't get a place like this back, we won't be able to see our ancestors when we go down there."
Jiang Cheng patted Ye Jianying's hand and said, "Yes, okay. We are here, and we have to walk the rest of the way by ourselves."
Jiang Cheng and others walked out of the train station. They thought that the social atmosphere in Northeast China during the war would be tense, but on the contrary, in Harbin, people of all ethnic groups could be seen living their normal lives everywhere. The roofs of Orthodox churches and Japanese shrines could be seen everywhere.
There are also fireworks at their peak, and from time to time in the restaurant you can hear loud singing in Japanese or Russian, but it is difficult to hear the laughter of the Chinese, the original owners of this land.
"Let's go, our contact person is here. There are too many of us. Wang Yong led everyone outside. Li Qian, Uncle Ye, Brother Wang and I went in." Jiang Cheng saw a restaurant called "Huo Hainan"
The hotel said.
As soon as Jiang Cheng entered, he saw Zhou Weiguo shouting loudly, "You guys, hurry up and serve the food. This prince, the sashimi should be to your taste. Oh, my friend, the vodka you want is coming soon."
Just come."
Jiang Cheng waved and said, "Boss, are the two private rooms I reserved available?"
When Zhou Weiguo saw Jiang Cheng, his hands shook, and he quickly said, "Boss, I've been waiting for you to come. Come on, come on, hurry up, send me to the private room and wait for you."
"Bageya Road, when will Chinese people be able to eat in restaurants?" A drunken ronin pointed at Jiang Cheng and exclaimed, stinking of alcohol.
Li Qian stepped forward and slapped the ronin to the ground, shouting in Japanese, "Do you want to die?"
Jiang Cheng waved his hand and said in Japanese, "Okay, let's go up. It seems we have to speak our native language to avoid getting into trouble." As he said that, he threw a few yen to the ronin.
The drunken Japanese who were drinking with the ronin saw the Japanese yen and heard that the voice was spoken in a pure Tokyo accent. They did not dare to provoke the ronin and quickly dragged the ronin out.
In the box, Zhou Weiguo stood at attention and saluted Jiang Cheng and said, "Master, I have been waiting for you here for more than ten days, and we are finally here."
Ye Jianying looked around and asked, "Is it safe here?"
Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "The two boxes next to us are also ours, and our box is very soundproof, but this store is still under surveillance by the Japanese. They must have discovered our group. I'm afraid it won't be long."
They will come to question you, I think it would be better for us to leave as soon as possible."
Jiang Cheng asked, "How do we get to the base area? By water or by land?"
Zhou Weiguo poured a cup of tea, dipped his finger in the water and said, "When the waterway reaches the river, we can no longer walk. We have to go ashore here, and then walk overland into the forest."
Ye Jianying immediately said, "Let's leave immediately. I'm afraid something will happen to the Japanese ronin just now."
Zhou Weiguo shook his head and said, "This kind of thing is very common here, but you are right, I have prepared a boat on the Songhua River, and we can set off immediately."
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, let's set off immediately."
