Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Gunshots Outside Shanhaiguan

After Japan occupied the three northeastern provinces, it felt that it was not enough, and continued to advance to Shanhaiguan.The enemy is now, but there are contradictions and entanglements within the top leadership of the Kuomintang that cannot be treated by outsiders. What is the meaning of Chiang Kai-shek's three strategies for Zhang Xueliang? When Ma Zhanshan returned to China, another major event happened in the country, and the Nanjing Nationalist Government was in a mess. After the Japanese Marine Corps provoked an incident in Shanghai in the south, the army also did its part, and lit a fire in Rehe in the north like a competition.

The name Rehe is no longer known, and in the Republic of China, everyone knew it, and everyone knew it.Let's put it this way, the plateau area connecting the eastern part of Inner Mongolia, the north of the Great Wall and the northeast, just such a large area, belongs to Rehe Province. Didn't you just go to the Northeast? Who said this. The Japanese opened an atlas, and you see, on it, Rehe is drawn within our boundaries. Look at the atlas again, "Manchuria". According to the Japanese, Rehe is a "sacred and inviolable part" of the newly established "Manchukuo".

Didn’t Uchida, Minister of Foreign Affairs, say long ago that Rehe is a part of Manchuria? room"). But even if this is the case, that is something that "Manchukuo" has to care about. What's the matter with Qianqing? It doesn't matter why, Emperor Hirohito said that the Kwantung Army wants to protect "Manchukuo", the Nisman family, his business is my business. Anyway, the truth is what I said, no matter how round it is, it cannot be rounded. In fact, Lao Jiang is not ignorant of Japan's crooked idea of ​​attacking Rehe. To be honest, no one in this world is much smarter than anyone else.

However, it was inconvenient for him to intervene directly at the beginning, because Rehe was Zhang Xueliang's ground after all in terms of sphere of influence, and the latter was the leader of the Northeast Army and a well-known local power. Most people think that Lao Jiang is heartless and ungrateful, and he is very unkind to the honest boy like the young marshal.Speaking of it, this is the impression of people later.At the beginning, you only need to count with your fingers to know that Lao Jiang and his allies are fighting to the death, and he really treats one person better, and that is Xiao Zhang.

This reason is not complicated if it is explored.Lao Yan, Lao Feng, Lao Li, none of them are masters at playing tricks and fighting minds. With them, Lao Jiang felt that his brain cells were not enough. Compared with these "old turtles", Xiao Zhang seems much "simple", at least he doesn't need to spend so much brains, and at the important historical juncture of Lao Jiang's ups and downs, Xiao Zhang always stood by his side Not to mention the change of flags and banners in the far distance, and the entry into the customs to support Chiang during the Central Plains War, which is nothing more than a hard push on Chiang in the political arena-up.

This one wants to say, Xiao Zhang helped, but it was not free, didn't he give so much money? If you want to say that, you're going to be ridiculous, and there are still people who don't help after giving money, so who can you ask for reasoning.In the final analysis, money always has to be paid out, but if you pay out money, everything will not be all right, it depends on love.Furthermore, Xiao Zhang's request for money does not mean that he is short of pocket money. It is either "military pay" or "departure fee". Don't need money, there are also those who have done justice.Before the fall of Jinzhou, Lao Jiang was forced to step down. Naturally, the commander-in-chief of the land, sea and air forces was no longer suitable, and Xiao Zhang also resigned the deputy commander, and they advanced together.These old Chiangs are well aware of it.

Compared with Ma Zhanshan's illustrious name as "Resistance General", the Northeast Marshal was in a very bad situation at that time, and the newspaper gave him the title of "Non-Resistance General". In fact, this title was not obtained after the "September 18th" Incident, but after the loss of Jinzhou.It can be seen how sharp the public opinion of the ruling and opposition parties was at that time. Under such circumstances, Lao Jiang, who came back out of the mountain, not only did not criticize him, but appointed Zhang Xueliang as the director of the newly established Beiping Appeasement Office.

Everyone can see it, what is this called, this is called short-term protection. Not only ordinary politicians, but also soldiers are talking about it.Needless to say, Lao Jiang's Central Whampoa Department must have opinions. Even Weng Zhaoyuan of the 19th Route Army once wentssip about the Northeast Army and Zhang Xueliang behind his back. I said comrades, you really do not understand politics. Could it be that Lao Jiang deliberately protected Zhang Xueliang just because of his brother's loyalty? No, you have to look at the group of people standing behind him. The Northeast Army has hundreds of thousands of people, and they all follow the lead of the young commander. You think it's a joke.

I really fucked up Xiao Zhang, can they not be in a hurry with you?This kind of bad idea, if you say it to Sun Ke who just came to power, it's almost the same, but Lao Jiang is not so naive. Defending Rehe still depends on my brother Meng. But in fact, although Rehe is said to be Xiao Zhang's territory, it is another person who really dominates one side there. When Huang Xiansheng Huang Tiehan was the chief of Fengtian police, didn't he want to beat tigers?At that time, I met a huge tiger——Tang Yulin. Tang Yulin was the chairman of Rehe Province at that time. Not to mention, Tang Yulin and the tiger really have a fate, because he has a nickname, called Tang Erhu.This person is now a tiger enthusiast.As long as it has something to do with the tiger, he will treat it as calling him.There are tiger paintings on the wall, tiger skins sitting under the buttocks, tiger specimens on the table, and even the constellation is the black tiger constellation.

Someone even saw a photo in his home, which showed Tang Yulin riding on the back of a tiger with a machine gun in his hand, which was very cool.If you want to say that you didn't have much PS technology back then, it was difficult to fake it like the South China Tiger. I guess I found a folk circus to make it out. Of course, there was a reason why Tang Yulin wanted to be related to Tiger.Others are bullying others, but he is bullying others. He was not the only one who came up with this idea, and it was almost everywhere among Feng Jun's old-school figures. Wu Junsheng and Wu Datong claimed to be reincarnated from black bears. He usually raises several bears at home, and he even imitated the movements of Xiong Blind when he walked, shaking and shaking, very similar to that.When it was Zhang Haipeng's turn, instead of saying that he was a black bear spirit, he said that Zhang Fei was the reincarnation.For this reason, Zhang Mazi also brought Guan Yunchang in as a witness.Every time he went to a place, as long as he saw Guan Yu Temple, he would go in and kowtow, and call Guan Yu like his second brother without shame (if Guan Yu really knew about it, he would be pissed to death).

Compared with them, Tang Yulin also has his own signature moves.When he is sitting and talking with others, he has to make a fist with both hands, and then leans on the table, which is called "Tiger Might". This guy, I only have two words to describe him: bastard. The whole Rehe is governed by a tiger king like him.The key positions of all key departments are his sons, grandsons, seven aunts and eight aunts.After these important positions were installed, Tang Yulin packed up all the county magistrates, tax bureau chiefs, and police chiefs below, and sold them at a bargaining price according to the lack of fat and thinness and the effect. After these corrupt officials took office, they naturally squeezed the common people like crazy. According to the principle of economics, if there is investment, there must be returns. Provoked civil uprisings many times. To know how evil Tang Yulin was back then, and how miserable the people under his rule were, you only need to read Mr. Wu Si's and you will understand everything. It's really a tyranny fiercer than a tiger. Just like this, Tang Erhu still felt that the money came too slowly.He smuggles. When Huang Xiansheng beat the tiger back then, it was Tang Yulin's private goods that he investigated.After all, there is a young marshal behind Tie Han, if it is an ordinary person, let alone check his goods, just look at him more, maybe the next day he will not know how he died.So to him, Tie Han's behavior is nothing more than scratching him, not hurting him in the slightest. Just smuggling is not enough. At that time, the whole country was calling for a smoking ban, and Tang Erhu did his part. He set up a smoking ban bureau in Rehe, and his eldest son was appointed as the director of the smoking ban bureau. Do you think he's really keen on banning smoking?of course not. The so-called No-Smoking Bureau is actually the Bureau of Tobacco Planting. The task of growing opium is contracted out, and every county has to contract opium. In Rehe, opium sellers, opium transporters, and opium smokers must pay taxes according to the regulations, and this has become the biggest economic growth point of this country within a country. Tang Yulin himself extorted levies and extorted money, and kept making money, but after getting the money, he was extremely harsh on his soldiers.His troops often did not get a penny of military pay for months.In this regard, he also has a saying, which is called "If you have a million soldiers, you will lose your salary", which is full of the face of a stingy villain. Soldiers are not stupid. If you don’t pay me a salary, I will engage in “hidden rules”. Go down and pay yourself a salary.As a result, the common people became more and more poisoned by it and suffered unspeakably. As a result, the discipline and morale of the troops are naturally in a mess. 5 infantry and cavalry brigades, 30,000 horses, have never been trained much, and they don't even go to the playground.What are you doing? drug. From officials to soldiers, everyone likes this one. So they have two guns, besides the rifle, there is also a bong, which is nicknamed "Two Gunners".It is said that there are 30,000, but there are not 300 that can really be used for war.In my impression, the only one comparable to it is Wang Jialie's Qianjun in Guizhou. Lao Jiang is also a person who leads troops to fight all the year round. Rehe let such a treasure guard him, how can you let him feel at ease. Therefore, as early as the "Jan. 28th" Songhu Battle, Lao Jiang was afraid that the Kwantung Army would take advantage of the momentum to go south, so he planned to transfer Song Zheyuan and Sun Dianying, the former Northwest Army troops who had stayed in Shanxi after the Central Plains War, to Rehe to strengthen the local military strength. The combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army is praised by everyone. In the past few years after the Central Plains War, they have slowly recovered, especially Song Zheyuan's 29th Army, which is even more capable of fighting. But Lao Jiang didn't expect that his kindness would be unappreciated. Both Zhang Xueliang and Tang Yulin could procrastinate, but they didn't want to deal with this problem, so others couldn't get in. Lao Jiang immediately understood that the two dared to be wary of him, afraid that he would deploy troops and seize the territory. If you want to talk about the latter kind of thing, Lao Jiang has indeed done a lot. Otherwise, Wang Jialie would not have suffered such a bad luck. He lost his wife and lost his army. In the end, Guizhou was also controlled by the central government.But this time Lao Jiang was really wronged.He was also afraid that others would suspect that he had ulterior motives, so he let other North China local troops stationed in Rehe instead of the Central Army. Unexpectedly, he still could not be trusted. When the Northeast Volunteer Army was in full swing and the village was in a hurry, Rehe became even more important.The two military and political giants Jiang and Wang discussed and thought that this was an excellent opportunity to support the Volunteer Army through Rehe, but Tang Erhu was in the way, what should we do? So they called Zhang Xueliang over, meaning to ask him to do something about it, simply replace Tang Erhu, and let him go to Rehe to preside over it. "Don't be afraid of other people's wild words"). Zhang Xueliang was unwilling, and he robbed Wang Jingwei on the spot. The meaning is similar to what he said to Sun Ke back then, that is, why don’t you go, let me go, it’s not impossible to go, give money first (“self-defense must be prepared first, preparation is nothing but money”). Lao Wang is an old revolutionary at any rate. He came out with the pioneers. He is older than Chiang Kai-shek in the Kuomintang, and he is still the head of a country's government in name. You are a local military and political chief, so you don't give face? Lao Wang was so angry that his eyeballs almost popped out. This is an emotional guy, easily excited.He didn't know that the Northeast Marshal only gave face to one person in the country, and that was Lao Jiang. Even if you were buried by him, you had no choice but to admit that you were unlucky. If you don't go, don't go, this young commander is really too "innocent" to turn around and leak the news to Tang Erhu.You can't see through anyone, this bastard gets anxious when he hears it.He was originally a top-quality idiot for a fool, and now you want to smash his job, don't you want his life? Since then, Tang Erhu has broken his cans, pretended to be serious at first, but now he just tore his face, not only refused any troops to enter his territory, but also made more chaos in his sphere of influence, making Rehe a mess.There was even a strange phenomenon that the people here once hated Tang Erhu and hated the Northeast Army, and would rather "temporarily throw themselves into the arms of the enemy" in order to "avoid tyranny". What is particularly outrageous is that he even got in touch with the Kwantung Army secretly, intending to step on two boats.Later facts showed that before the Battle of Rehe started, the Kwantung Army Command's Intelligence Section and Government Affairs Section had already passed through the upper echelons of the puppet army and established a considerable "working foundation" in Tang Yulin's troops. Of course, the Japanese also have standards for recruiting traitors. Tang Yulin's reputation is so bad that he is not even qualified to be a traitor.To put it bluntly, Muto only used him, and he would throw it away after use. When things got to this point, even Lao Jiang couldn't hold back his face, and he was very annoyed inside. Originally, if Zhang Xueliang couldn't take this step, he could think of other ways. In a word, he couldn't let Tang Erhu, a jerk, mess up the whole situation in Rehe and even the Northeast.As a result, being disturbed by the young marshal made it worse and worse, and made him stiffer and stiffer. Lao Jiang is a person who knows how to observe words and expressions. Through this incident, he also saw that Zhang Xueliang revealed these "private words" to Tang Erhu, indicating that the former even intended to please the latter, that is to say, even if the other party knew Tang Erhu The two tigers should withdraw, but they dare not withdraw, and this is quite troublesome at a critical time. After the "September 18th" Incident, for the first time, he had doubts about the ability of his younger brother ("foolish and cowardly, incredible"), and began to lose confidence in Zhang Xueliang's ability to carry out his intentions ("hesitant to obey, dare not To move forward is to work together with sincerity.”). In fact, Zhang Xueliang also has his own ideas. The factional disputes in the Northeast Army have a long history.Tang Yulin is an old-fashioned general, a member of his father's generation, and he has lived in Rehe for a long time, and holds military power in his hands. For Lao Jiang, Zhang Xueliang is a prince, and for Zhang Xueliang, Tang Yulin is a prince. Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for Jiang to get Zhang. In the same way, how can Zhang get soup? This is the vicious circle of the Republic of China era. Everyone is connected with each other, just like the triangular debt. Everyone wants to get rid of it, but no one can get rid of it. Zhang Xueliang couldn't take Tang Yulin down, so he had to rely on luck: the League of Nations was still in a meeting, and the Kwantung Army might not make it so soon. The reason why he "pleased" Tang Erhu and refused to enter Rehe for a long time had another plan, which was to use Tang as a "buffer" between himself and the Kwantung Army. In fact, his idea happened to be used by the Japanese. The latter used this to "make Zhang with soup" repeatedly, that is, to use the contradiction between Zhang and Tang to install a "fifth column" in the troops of Rehe and Tang Erhu. It's not over yet.After Lao Wang was robbed, he felt a great loss of face, and at the same time he couldn't accept Zhang Xueliang's "extraordinary asking price". At that time, the financial situation of the Nanjing government was not ideal, and it was not easy to raise some money.Wang Jingwei did not expect to face such an embarrassing situation when he came to power again, so he stomped his feet and followed Sun Ke's example, resigned and went to Shanghai. Before leaving, he did not forget to use the power of the media to accuse Xiao Zhang with blood and tears. First, you have the largest number of soldiers, the largest army capacity, and Rehe is still within your defense zone, but you have not sent a single soldier, so you have to work hard for money. In the name of resistance, use things to collect"). Second, don’t I quit now, and you don’t have to, don’t be ashamed of being in that position (“I also thank the 40,000,000 people of the country by resigning”). That’s not to mention, Lao Wang was born with a pen after all, and he is very good at holding a gun and carrying a stick. At the end, he said: “Don’t let Rehe Pingjin be the successor of Jinzhou in the Northeast.” This... is too much, isn't it exposing scars? Sure enough, Zhang Xueliang jumped up when he heard it. Okay, didn't you ask me to resign, then I will resign for you. Immediately asked to resign from the post of director of the Peking Appeasement Office. It's lively now, everyone is clamoring to resign, as if resigning can blackmail the other party or something. Lao Jiang, as a middleman, really can't laugh or cry. You, old and young, all eat politics, so a little city is good.It's not from Lower Riba, one clamored to hang himself, and the other also said he wanted to hang himself, who will show you all to die? You can't say harsh words yet, because although the two quarreling have different identities, they are both easily agitated. Lao Jiang persuaded Lao Wang, you have such a high status, why should you bother with Yi Leng Tou Qing, it is unnecessary. On the other hand, I went to tell Xiao Zhang, President Wang is also for the country and the people, it is understandable to nod too much, you should put the overall situation first and bear with it. In this conversation, Lao Jiang actually had a purpose. If there is a tendency, he must be inclined to Lao Wang.Originally, the Northeast is where you made your fortune. You don’t care who cares. Now you have to pay us to pay for it. Is there any reason in this world? Of course, Lao Jiang still never forgot one thing, that is to tell Tang Erhu to go away. He thought that he was doing it for Zhang Xueliang’s sake. ). He also understands that the young marshal's resignation this time is actually no different from his previous resignation from the post of deputy commander of the navy, army and air force. It does not have much impact on his real power. Try resigning as the leader of the Northeast Army. Following this line of thought, he provided Zhang Xueliang with three strategies for him to choose from: Best policy: Don't resign, take troops to Jehol to fight against Japan. Medium strategy: Resign and take troops to Jehol to fight against Japan. Bad policy: resign, not to Rehe. Lao Jiang made these three strategies to give the opponent a step down.According to the psychology of ordinary people, what can be accepted is the best policy, and what is called the worst policy, it is used to set off the wisdom of the upper middle policy, who will choose it; One, that is, I hope that Zhang Xueliang will take the troops to Rehe to drive Tang Erhu away, so that he can concentrate on preparing for the war.Or to put it another way, whether you resign or not, it is best to go to Rehe. The meaning of this is very clear. What Lao Jiang Wan didn't expect was that Xiao Zhang was frowning when he heard about Shangzhongce, but he was happy when he heard about Xiace, saying that this is exactly what I want. Taking advantage of his joy, he also made a suggestion, requesting to set up the Beiping Branch of the Military Commission (Peking Military Branch) in accordance with the model of the Central Military Commission to replace the original Beiping Appeasement Office, so that he could be closer to his brother.Lao Jiang is the chairman of the committee. As the plenipotentiary representative of the chairman, he represents all important military and political affairs in Beiping. You can really talk, Lao Jiang is really depressed now. As a result of persuading the fight, Lao Wang was as stubborn as a donkey, unable to persuade him, insisting on refusing to reinstate his post, so he had to let his uncle Song Ziwen act as his representative.As for Xiao Zhang here, Lao Jiang had no choice but to use a trick to settle things down, which can be regarded as dismissing him from his post. However, at this time, Lao Jiang was obviously very disappointed with Zhang Xueliang. In his words, most of what he did was just thinking about the brotherhood of each other in the past ("not only for the country, but also for friends"). By the end of the 21st year of the Republic of China (1932), although there was no news from the League of Nations, Lao Jiang felt that something was wrong. Why? Ma Zhanshan went to the Soviet Union, and the Volunteer Army was completely dumbfounded.That means that the Kwantung Army can free up its hands. Didn't the Japanese clamor every day that Rehe belongs to "Manchuria"? Once they are full and have nothing to do, they will come to find fault. Things are a little serious. He quickly sent Zhang Xueliang a telegram, reminding him that "the Japanese pirates invaded the north, and the period is not far away." In order to add a little courage to the opponent, he gave some hints, both true and false: "(I) have prepared 6 divisions, ready to transport the northern aid at any time." Anyway, in a word, if you fight with the Japanese, I need people and guns here, and I will "coexist and die" with you. As for whether to resist the Japanese, Lao Jiang now has a deeper understanding than anyone else. Before and after the "September 18th" Incident, he believed that if he directly confronted the Japanese army rashly, due to the disparity in strength, he could only end up in the end of subjugation and extermination. He couldn't live with it, and then he fell into the bottom of his life and career. Although the subsequent "January 28th" did not win, it allowed him to regain his reputation among the government and the people.The comparison of the two made him understand a truth: there is no way out if there is only negotiation without resistance. Only by "resisting while negotiating" can he be invincible.On this point, he agreed with Wang Jingwei at the time, and there was no difference. He was almost using himself as an example to enlighten Zhang Xueliang: Fight, if you don’t hit the common people, you won’t buy it. Even if you win, it doesn’t matter, and the sky won’t collapse immediately (“Only a decisive battle can save people’s hearts, although Defeat can still survive"). Lao Jiang's words are not empty words, because there is already a crisis in Shanhaiguan. At this time, Shanhaiguan was stationed with Chinese and Japanese troops. Why are there ghosts in this place? It was all caused by the "Xin Chou Treaty" back then.There were many unequal treaties in the late Qing Dynasty, but when it comes to the most security threat to the Chinese mainland, I am afraid it is the only one. How harmful this treaty will be to China, I dare not say if it is too much, at least it will be harmful for 50 years. The "Xin Chou Treaty" clearly stipulated that all countries should be allowed to send troops to station along the railway from Beijing to Shanhaiguan, and Japan was of course included in the "countries". However, the so-called garrison is actually a symbolic meaning, and decades have passed, and the Qing Dynasty has disappeared. In addition to the changing international situation, by the time of the Republic of China, few countries were interested in sending troops here anymore. As far as Japan is very "persistent", it has never said that it will withdraw. The commander of the Tianjin Garrison at that time was Lieutenant General Kotaro Nakamura (21st Phase of Luda).He was classmates with former Kashii Kohei and Tomon Jiro, head of the Sendai Division.But the students have different fates, Domon is flourishing in Manchuria, but Nakamura can only watch the excitement from a long distance away. Who doesn't want to make contributions, but there are too few soldiers on hand. The Tianjin Garrison has a total of 10 infantry squadrons and 1 artillery squadron, with less than 2,000 people, not in one place, but scattered in Tianjin, Tanggu, Qinhuangdao, Shanhaiguan, etc., each with only a few hundred people. Kashii was not reconciled to such "inaction", so he followed Doihara to create a "Tianjin Incident", but there was a lot of thunder and rain, and no results were achieved.The reason is that the strength is not enough.You know, there are too many garrisons in Tianjin, and there are only less than 500 people when they are full.It's hard to do. If the conditions are simple, then create the conditions. Anyway, you can't just come to China for nothing like this.Nakamura thought so, and he did the same. Where to start?He set his sights on Shanhaiguan, because he could reach it there. Shanhaiguan has a Tianjin garrison garrison with hundreds of people.The Northeast Army stationed in Shanhaiguan also has a regiment - the 626th Regiment of the 9th Brigade of the Northeast Army (Shi Shi'an Regiment), with 2,000 people. Forcibly, Nakamura felt that he was not sure, so he should try the "peaceful" method first. It was the captain of the garrison, Major Ochiai Shojiro, who carried out this "peaceful" mission, and he was in charge of talking to He Zhuguo, commander of the 9th Brigade. Unlike most generals of the Northeast Army who are natives of the Northeast, He Zhuguo is from Guangxi, and is a double student at Baoding Military Academy and Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy.Ordinarily, the Guangxi Clique definitely wanted such a talent, but the trouble was that he studied cavalry in Japan, and Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi's troops were all infantry, so they didn't have this major. It's not impossible to do other things, but I always feel unwilling: So, aren't the years of studying in Japan completely wasted?At this time, a classmate from Baoding Military Academy happened to come to see him. This brother is from the Northeast. I heard that this is not easy. I recommend you to the Northeast Army. There are plenty of cavalry there, and you will definitely be able to use your strengths.In this way, He Zhuguo joined the Northeast Army. According to Ochiai, he hoped that He Zhuguo would establish an autonomous government in Luandong (east of the Luanhe River). The words are reasonable: Who is the Kwantung Army hating, not the entire Northeast Army, but Zhang Xueliang.With this self-government that is not under the jurisdiction of Zhang Xueliang as a buffer zone, the Kwantung Army will naturally not come to make trouble, and everyone will benefit. I don’t forget to add a sentence at the end: I am doing it for you, for your entire Northeast Army. He Zhuguo didn't say a word, didn't say yes, didn't say no, he dragged on. A brigade commander of the Northeast Army can be dealt with in two or three sentences, but Ochiai has no such delusion.He just thought that since He Zhuguo did not veto, the two sides still had room for discussion.Ideological work, how can it be so easy to do, take your time. He has this patience, the Kwantung Army can't wait. At this time, the 8th Division (Hongqian Division) was "clearing and suppressing" the Volunteer Army in western Liaoning, and intentionally or unintentionally wanted to "scramble" here in Shanhaiguan.The 5th Regiment of Suzuki's 4th Brigade (Guyi Regiment) drove an armored vehicle and fired 38 shells at Shanhaiguan in one go. There must be a reason for the shelling. The "reason" provided by Gu Yi is: seeing the Volunteer Army flash past in front of Shanhaiguan, so the shelling was not discussed. After all, these people are here to find fault and fight, which is what we usually call "friction".The cannon shooting is just a prelude, and the next step is to attack Shanhaiguan. But this made a person anxious. Who? Ochiai. Seeing that the ideological work is about to be completed, isn't it all ruined by your Kwantung Army's manipulation? No no no. He hurriedly acted as a peacemaker, introducing He Zhuguo to meet with Gu Yi, the captain of the 5th regiment, and asked the two parties to reconcile. Once Gu Yi didn't buy it, what's the matter, I would fire a few cannons to play with it if I was happy, to make up for it. Luohe was so anxious that he stomped his feet secretly, but he couldn't say clearly in front of He Zhuguo: I'm going to fool the Chinese people, don't come here to disturb the situation. Seeing that Gu Yiyi didn't give face, Ochiai had no choice but to hire another person to do the work together. Major Yoshioka Anzhi (Lu Da 37th Phase) had previously served as a senior staff officer at the Tianjin Garrison Headquarters, and at this time he was the staff officer of the Hirosaki Division. As soon as Ochiai clarified the stakes, Yoshioka understood, so he and another staff officer of the Tianjin Garrison found Yoshiichi Gu, and the latter was not completely careless, he understood immediately. . Oh, it turned out that our underground comrades were engaged in "lurking" work, a misunderstanding, and they left. Gu Yi's unit withdrew. The common people in Shanhaiguan, especially those merchants, were extremely nervous, thinking that this time the two sides would definitely meet each other, and Shanhaiguan would inevitably suffer a bloody disaster. Now this "enthusiastic person" in Ochiai only relies on a three-inch tongue. It's a good thing to say that the invading enemy has been retreated.dinner. This treat doesn't matter, it's really sending Ochiai to the crater. The most important thing about "lurking" is to keep it secret. Of course, it is impossible for Ochiai to leak the truth to the grassroots officers and soldiers below.The people in the garrison only saw that Gu Yi's unit retreated without a fight, and the Kwantung Army's attack on Shanhaiguan went bankrupt, and all this was because of their superior - Ochiai. Now he is accepting gifts from the Chinese people and going to their courts. This kind of behavior is not what "Japanese traitors" do. Although we are few in number, our ambition is high.Leaders are traitorous, we can't be traitorous, let's do it ourselves without Ochiai! But if you want to fire directly at the Northeast Army, after all, you still have a guilty conscience, what should you do? When I saw the Chinese police patrolling the street, I suddenly had an inspiration: try the knife on them first. On the afternoon of January 1, 22nd year of the Republic of China (1933), the Shanhaiguan garrison of the Japanese Tianjin Garrison Army, led by Lieutenant Kodama, launched a surprise attack and confiscated all the guns of the Chinese Nanguan police, and seized them. Chief of Public Security. This "success" surprised Kodama and others.It turns out that we can do what the Kwantung Army can do, so what are you waiting for, the opportunity to make contributions has come. At 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, the garrison team "spontaneously" launched an attack on Shanhaiguan on the pretext that they found a Chinese army grenade near their residence. Because Shanhaiguan is also known as Yuguan, this event is called the Yuguan incident in history. It seems that the juniors of Heben and Ishihara are really playing as they please. This time, they don’t need any props or preparations, they just need to make up an unfounded reason to start the fight. Gunshots broke out outside Shanhaiguan, and He Zhuguo asked Zhang Xueliang for instructions on what to do.The young marshal didn't hesitate this time, because he also knew the serious consequences if Shanhaiguan was lost. For the first time since entering the customs, he made a bold statement: the living are passers-by, and the dead are returnees. You must Hold on to me. With the young marshal's words, Brigadier He did not dare to neglect, and quickly commanded Shi Shi'an's regiment to fight. How do you say that the Northeast Army also has a regiment of 2,000 people, and if it is taken seriously, the Japanese garrison is certainly not an opponent. At this time, seeing that the matter was about to succeed, but suddenly faced with premature death, Kodama couldn't be reconciled after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and took a few people to climb the city wall of the south gate, throwing grenades into it non-stop as he climbed . Soldiers of the Northeast Army on the city wall also threw grenades down, not many, just one, and Kodama was reimbursed. The leader is finished, and the rest have to go back where they came from. But these guys have no reason to suffer from immediate losses. Soon, the headquarters of the Tianjin Garrison Army and the Hongqian Division Command received a telegram from the Shanhaiguan garrison: Woohoo, my brothers were beaten by the Northeast Army for no reason. It's so miserable, come and help. At 9 o'clock the next morning, the Hongqian Division went to Shanhaiguan and sent an ultimatum, demanding that the defenders withdraw from Shanhaiguan, but He Zhuguo refused of course. An hour later, the Japanese army began to attack Shanhaiguan. The Suzuki Brigade was the main force in this siege. The attack method was: artillery bombardment and Japanese plane bombing alternately for cover, and the stormtroopers climbed the city wall with ladders. Although the ancient city walls built by our ancestors are wrinkled and covered with vicissitudes, at this very moment, we still have to stand up to shield our descendants from bullets, and our bodies are full of trauma. On the afternoon of the third day, a huge gap was blown open in the southeast wall of Shanhaiguan, and Japanese tanks and infantry swarmed in. Shi Shi'an's regiment desperately sealed the gap, but according to the "Xin Chou Treaty", China could not build fortifications in Shanhaiguan ( I really abide by the treaty and can't think of other ways), which led to the fact that the troops were unable to prevent the enemy from entering the city despite heavy casualties in the absence of bunkers. Shi Shi'an saw that he was invincible, so he had to withdraw with the rest of his troops. In just 3 days (the siege battle lasted only 2 days), Shanhaiguan fell into the enemy's hands, and the Rehe line of defense suddenly opened up in flanks.The whole country was shocked for a while, and the public opinion was in an uproar.
