"Miss Chieko, Mr. Keizo Yokoji, are you here?" Shimoyoshi Morita tried to shout again.
There was still no response, only his slightly changed voice echoed in the empty hall: "Are you there... are you there..."
Shimoyoshi Morita felt a biting chill rush into his heart. Looking at the hall that he was usually familiar with but now had become a bit eerie, an inexplicable thought came to his mind, run! Get away from this place with a strange atmosphere as fast as possible.
He subconsciously moved his steps and walked towards the door. The outside of the door was washed clean by last night's rain, and he was now walking on Xu Street in the warm morning light...
Suddenly "Boom!" a loud noise came from under his feet, and then a huge force threw him up, and then a wave of air like a legendary tsunami rolled him up. Morita Shimoyoshi felt like he was a piece of cake.
The small leaves flying in the strong wind were pushed by the air waves through the shattered windows and through the yellow-leaved locust trees on the edge of Asahi Street.
He couldn't hear anything and couldn't see anything clearly. Morita Shimoyoshi didn't know that his eyes were covered with blood. He just subconsciously glanced at Yongjin Bank for the last time in the air, which was still spraying blood-red light into the sky...
…
Just before Morita Shioyoshi walked into Yongjin Bank, Toshi Moriyama, the deputy consul general of the Japanese Consulate in Tianjin, was talking on the phone with Kimurano Daisaku, the commander of the Japanese garrison in the Tianjin Concession.
In the past two days, Jun Moriyama was really overwhelmed by the impact and chaos caused by the September 18th Incident. He had been cursing the various female relatives of the Japanese Kwantung Army, who were bastards with only muscles and no brains.
You must know that when the Kwantung Army launched the September 18th Incident, it was an independent action carried out by the Japanese military to conceal the high-level officials of the Japanese government. Many high-level officials in Japan did not know about it at first. At that time, although the Japanese government had already regarded China as an enemy and
It is the target of future conquest, but it has not yet made any preparations for war, and it does not yet have the conditions for a full-scale war with China economically and militarily.
Therefore, the first few days inevitably brought about some passivity and confusion in terms of diplomacy and impact on the international community.
However, just a few days later, due to the non-resistance policy of Marshal Zhang of the Northeast Army and the National Army's busy encirclement and suppression of the red areas to launch a civil war, the principal still pursued the national policy of "reconciling the internal situation first" and was indifferent to the Japanese invasion. This allowed the Japanese to
Senior leaders saw an opportunity and shifted from opposing the Kwantung Army's unilateral military offensive to fully supporting the occupation of the entire Northeast China.
At present, Moriyama Shun would not have expected that the Kwantung Army, with less than 30,000 men, could fully occupy the Northeast. During the period when the Consul General returned to China to report on his duties, he could only follow domestic orders to appease the shock and anxiety from all walks of life in the Japanese Concession in Tianjin.
To ensure the social stability of Tianjin’s Japanese Concession.
Therefore, at the meeting of the Tianjin Japanese Concession Administrative Committee chaired by him yesterday, a motion was proposed that the security work in the Tianjin Japanese Concession should be fully taken over by the garrison army, but it was rejected by the commander of the garrison army, Kimura Noichi.
Kimurano believed that the cowardly Chinese people would not have the courage to carry out any retaliatory actions in the Japanese concession. The police in the concession already have sufficient deterrence and capabilities. Using garrison troops will only make the concessions of other surrounding powers laugh at Japan.
The imperial army is fierce in appearance and weak in appearance.
But after Moriyama Shun spent a sleepless night thinking and worrying, he called Kimurano Daisa again early this morning, trying to persuade this country man who he considered arrogant and vulgar.
"Kimura-kun, the order I received from the country is to ensure the security and stability of the concession during the Manchurian Incident. I believe that the Imperial Japanese soldiers taking to the streets to maintain law and order will bring confidence and encouragement to Japanese expatriates, and will also give potential enemies a
Deterrence. In this special period, this method is necessary. Please give Kimura-kun a lot of support."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Moriyama, but I still stick to my views and decisions at yesterday's meeting. The garrison cannot leave the camp before I get an order from the military headquarters."
"Kimura-kun, you are risking the lives of tens of thousands of expatriates in the concession. If any bloodshed occurs during this period, this responsibility can only be borne by you..."
As soon as Toshi Moriyama said this, "Boom!" he heard a violent explosion from the east, followed by a series of explosions. The vibration waves caused by the explosion instantly spread to the Consulate General, and even the teacups on the office table were shaken.
It started shaking.
Moriyama Shun was so shocked that his mouth opened wide. He stared blankly at the black smoke and fire rising in the distance, as if he didn't hear the shouts of Kimurano Daichi from the microphone: "Moriyama-kun, where is the explosion? Moriyama-kun...
"
The explosion of Yongjin Bank was of course Zhou Wen's masterpiece. The method of explosion was to use a homemade time bomb, which he learned from his brothers in the same mercenary group in his previous life.
Zhou Wen's purpose is to turn the robbery of Yongjin Bank into a just action to retaliate against Japan for launching the September 18th Incident. At the same time, he can also destroy the corpses and eliminate all traces of the scene, using an explosion and subsequent fire to remove all traces of the scene.
Completely disappeared in the gray smoke. This was the last little trick he left to Yongjin Bank. The explosion time was set at 8 o'clock the next morning, which was the bank's working hours.
A full 100 kilograms of T-NT explosives turned Yongjin Bank into a pile of burning ruins. When the Japanese cleared all the ruins and finally found that the bank vault had been looted, Zhou Wen and the others had already returned to Taiyuan by train.
.
After that, Toshi Moriyama urgently reported to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, in the context of the Japanese Kwantung Army's continuous invasion into the Northeast, any documents and protests from the Japanese side requesting the Chinese government to assist in investigating and tracking down the murderers were met with no response and no response.
repercussions.
Although the Yongjin Bank explosion in Tianjin, Japan (without any evidence to prove it was a bank robbery) appeared on the front page of famous domestic newspapers, it was regarded as a just act by Chinese civil servants to retaliate against Japan's invasion of Northeast China. The Chinese people only applauded and applauded.
, no one came out to condemn or criticize.
The Japanese side had no choice but to form an investigation team jointly by the Japanese Garrison in Tianjin and the Japanese Consulate General. After a period of identification of the remains of the corpses in the ruins of Yongjin Bank and the investigation of stolen vehicles from the concession trading company, it was basically deduced that the Yongjin Bank was robbed.
The general process. The investigation team believes that this is a premeditated, technical, and highly intelligent crime. It should be carried out by a professional criminal group with in-depth knowledge of Yongjin Bank. This criminal group is extremely cruel and vicious in its methods and highly skilled.
, the plan is comprehensive and does not rule out the possibility of an internal response (the number of bodies and objects in the ruins cannot be identified).
