Jiang Qiang and his party had already arrived in Tianjin and lived in a courtyard in the French Concession. This place had been bought by Wang Tianmu and others. Huzi said, "Boss, this courtyard is really big. Didn't he buy it a long time ago?"
Jiang Qiang said, "You are just a fool. Could it be that those ghost guys gave it to you for free?" Hurry up and find a place where you live, and see what else is missing here before buying it. Also, Wang Tianmu's identity is now Japanese.
When you see a person's name, you must not come up to him and recognize him. Huzi, do you understand? Huzi said, "Yes." Tomorrow, Qin Siyu will lead everyone to understand the surrounding environment. This time, we will clear out those traitors. We must
All those traitors must be eliminated before the war. This will also give those who remain on the secret front a safe environment.
Jiang Qiang looked at the information given by Wang Tianmu, indicating that the war was coming soon. It was already March 1937. Jiang Qiang did not want to disrupt the pace of the Japanese war at this time. In later generations, many experts also expressed their opinions on the Sino-Japanese war.
After conducting research, if Japan takes advantage of the economic crisis to go all out and attack China on a large scale, it may be more likely to succeed, because at this time the Western countries are in economic decline and cannot take care of themselves, so the possibility of intervening in the war is extremely low, and because
Japan is "anti-red". After the war with China, even if it occupies China, its vitality will be severely damaged. Moreover, Western countries can also take advantage of the Sino-Japanese war to export their domestic surplus supplies. Whether it is China or Japan, they will definitely
It is extremely needed. No matter who wins by then, Western countries will have become creditors and can successfully get out of the economic crisis. Moreover, even if Japan occupied China, it would take several years or even decades to completely rule the country, and
The red polar bear in the north is watching eagerly. Japan will not pose a substantial threat to Western countries in the future unless the polar bear also loses to it.
However, this is impossible. The Western powers are not fools. If Japan dominates the world, they will have no way to survive! So in the end, Japan may become the most powerful country in Asia, but the polar bears will also rise to compete with it.
The country fell into a war and then perished together! History is history after all. In many cases, in the eyes of future generations, there are many ridiculous things in history, and there are also many opportunities that were missed and regrettable. Does Japan dare to do this? Dare not! Here is
There are too many uncertainties. Although the Japanese are unimaginably ambitious, they are still relatively rational and calm when formulating actual policies. Especially in the early stages of the war, the Japanese did not seem to be officially invading.
Queen China is so fanatical, they also want to take it step by step, instead of shouting the slogan "Occupy China in three months".
"Hattori-kun, look, how magnificent and beautiful the mountains and rivers here are!" Tojo Hideki, accompanied by Major General Hattori Hyojiro, visited the summer resort and exclaimed with infinite emotion. "Yes, Tojo-kun, China has a vast territory.
, rich in resources, much stronger than Japan!" Hyojiro Hattori nodded slightly. "What a pity!" Captain Tojo sighed. "What's a pity?" "It's a pity that the Chinese people are too stupid and cowardly, and they don't deserve to have such a thing.
This rich continent!" A fierce light burst out from Tojo Hideki's eyes! "Tojo-kun said it right, the Chinese people really do not deserve to have these, these should belong to the Yamato nation and the Japanese Empire!" "Yes,
If the Empire of Japan wants to become the most powerful country in Asia, and even the world, it must expand externally and obtain the land and resources we want. China is the most ideal expansion target!" Tojo Hideki clenched his fists and said. "Yes.
Yes, I have been in China for less than half a year, and I have already fallen in love with it. The great palaces and beautiful scenery. China once had a glorious history, but now it is all in the past. In the future, the Empire of Japan will replace it and become
Number one in the world!" Hattori Hyojiro shouted arrogantly. "Hattori-kun, let us work hard for the Empire of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Tojo-kun, although the combat effectiveness of the China Army to resist the alliance is not weak, there is still a big gap compared to the empire!" Hattori Hyojiro said. Tojo Hideki said, "The most worrying thing now is Tang Ju in Shanghai.
Five of their armies, as well as Wang Yizhe's army in Heilongjiang, are also very powerful. Once this war breaks out, what we are most worried about is the intervention of Shanghai's army." "The Tojo Army, our 14th Brigade and the Chinese Army are fighting against each other.
The 36th Division has had many contacts and fought more than a hundred times. According to our calculations, about two to three Chinese troops are equivalent to our army..." "Hattori-kun, I heard that in the past four months,
, your troops suffered a lot of casualties, why do you despise the China Army so much?" Hideki Tojo asked in displeasure. His subordinates suffered so many casualties. As a leading general, he should be vigilant. Hattori
Hyojiro actually has no interest in the China Army. Isn't this extremely irresponsible!
"Tojo-kun, you are just talking about the casualties of our army. Don't you mean that the casualties of the Chinese army are three to four times that of our army?" Hattori Hyojiro said unconvinced. "Even so, there is nothing to be proud of. Great Japan
The warriors of the empire should be equal to ten!" Tojo Hideki said coldly. Hattori Hyojiro was stunned. Hattori Hyojiro was stunned, "Hattori-kun, China has a vast territory. It has a large population and an inexhaustible supply of soldiers.
, once it is allowed to be unified, it will be difficult for the empire to conquer this country. Now, with the warlords fighting in China and the civil strife continuing, it is a good opportunity for us to launch a large-scale attack. However, although we have been preparing for so many years, the timing is still a little short of
, the worldwide economic depression has helped China, but also hindered our plans!" Tojo Hideki said unwillingly. This time the military plan is to start from Tianjin and capture the entire Hebei Province in one month.
The northern area, and then advance like Shandong, and the most important place to land in Guangdong is where to land in the south. This time, we will first defeat the Nanjing government’s army, and then have a duel with the Shanghai army. I want to see if the Shanghai army is really
It is very strong. This time General Matsui Iwane is leading the northern battle, and His Excellency Toshi Tada is commanding the south. The general direction has been set. You must pay attention to the situation of the 29th Army in Tianjin.
As a boy, Hideki Tojo was influenced by his family atmosphere. He longed to be a soldier and serve the emperor very early. As a boy, Hideki Tojo attended Yotsuya Elementary School, Gakushuin Elementary School, Johoku Middle School, and Tokyo Army.
Local infant schools and the Army Central Infant School. In order to cultivate his son's bushido spirit, Tojo Hideki specially hired someone to teach him the "Magical Sword Dance". In September 1899, Tojo entered the Tokyo Regional Army Infantry School.
School study. After entering the military academy, Tojo followed his father's example and aspired to become a "qualified officer loyal to the emperor" and "conquer meritorious service" for Japan. After studying in Rikuyou for three years, in September 1902, 19-year-old
Tojo Hideki entered the Army Central Infantry School. As the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China at that time, the Qing government was forced to sign the "Xinchou Treaty", which further stimulated the ambition of Japanese militarism to expand abroad. While Tojo Hideki was studying,
I felt the "ecstasy" in Japan over the successful invasion of China. Before and after the Russo-Japanese War broke out, Japan was mobilized nationwide. The Japanese government actively stepped up its arms expansion and preparations for war, while the military circles clamored for "revenge" on Russia and prepared for a war with Tsarist Russia.
A. Military schools at all levels that train officers serve the war of aggression and accordingly implement the "wartime education policy." On the one hand, they shortened the school system and intensified education and training, while on the other hand, they tried their best to instill militaristic aggression ideas in the students.
The Russo-Japanese War in 1904 (Meiji 37) was a crucial battle for the Japanese militarist government with "life hanging by a thread". Tojo Hideki was promoted from the Army Central Infantry School to the Army Sergeant School. Tojo Hideki often
He and a group of like-minded classmates went to the Ichigaya Terrace behind the Military Academy to have a talk. Tojo Hideki often jumped out to show everyone his not very professional "Magic Sword Dance". The bursts of cheers from the crowd made Tojo Hideki
He forgot about the opportunity, and his extreme excitement made him completely immersed in fantasies about the future and unable to extricate himself. After graduation, as part of the elite, Tojo entered the Ministry of War as an intern, and then he was appointed as the military attache of the Japanese Embassy in Germany.
Crown Prince Hirohito traveled to Europe and met with Japanese military attachés stationed in various parts of Europe. Under the introduction of Prince Kanin Miya Zaihito and other famous senior generals of the royal family, young officers headed by Nagata Tetsuzan swore allegiance to the Crown Prince and vowed to eradicate the Choshu clan in the military.
The elder forces to eliminate the interference of political party forces in the imperial power. Then Baden-Baden Sanhawu Karasu (Nagata Tetsuzan, Obata Toshishiro and Okamura Neji) drew up the outline of the plan. As the fourth person in Baden-Baden, Dong
Hideki Jo was responsible for guarding the door at the time. In the summer of 1921, he traveled to Germany. This was the only long-term contact with a non-Asian environment in his life. At the end of the year, after visiting the Washington Conference, he hurriedly took a train across the United States and returned.
Japan, he has a deeper impression of Germany than the United States. This may be because he understands German but not English. In August 1931, he served as the Chief of the Mobilization Section of the Maintenance Bureau of the General Staff Headquarters. During the September 18th Incident, Japan
The political parties were dissatisfied with the laissez-faire attitude of the military. Tojo immediately launched an "investigation" into the political parties' words and deeds that were unfavorable to the military, accusing them of "provoking military-civilian relations." In March 1933, Tojo was arrested.
Appointed as Army Major General, he was appointed as the Director of the Military Investigation Department in November of the same year. In March 1934, Tojo served as the Director of the Military Investigation Department for only four months before being transferred to the Army Noncommissioned Officer School, and then successively served in the infantry
24th Brigade and 12th Division Headquarters.
After Japan forcibly occupied Northeast China by force, in order to achieve the so-called unified rule over the Puppet Manchukuo, it issued the so-called "88" Resolution in 1932, and then reorganized Japan's institutions in the Puppet Manchukuo in 1934.
Rectification. From this time on, the Kwantung Army actually took control of the political, military, diplomatic and economic power of the puppet Manchukuo, and the commander of the Kwantung Army became the Supreme Emperor. Tojo Hideki's position as military police commander, according to regulations, was concurrently
He also held the important position of Director of the Japanese Administrative Affairs in Manchuria. After Hideki Tojo took office, the first thing he did was to cultivate his own party members. Before that, the Kwantung Army Military Police was only a team of only about 200 people.
Of course, this meager force could not meet Tojo Hideki's needs. So he quickly mobilized a group of capable officers from Japan, Taiwan, North Korea and other places, and arranged important positions for them in the military police and trained them in a short period of time.
A loyal confidant to him.
In the early morning of February 26, 1936, nearly 1,500 young soldiers from the "Kōdō faction" launched a military coup in Tokyo. They occupied important institutions such as the Prime Minister's Office, the Army Ministry, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the General Staff Headquarters, and also took control of the Asahi Shimbun.
》 Agency. Minister of the Interior Saito Minoru, Army Education Director Watanabe Taro, and Tibetan Minister Takahashi Korekiyo and others were killed by the coup soldiers. The coupers used the slogans of "Respecting the Emperor and Punishing Rape" and "Showa Restoration" to support Sadara Araki.
Husband and other leaders of the "Imperial Dao Faction" took power and formed a cabinet, established a fascist system, and immediately "moved north" to attack the Soviet Union. The coup plunged Tokyo into chaos. News of the coup soon spread to "Manchuria", and Dong Dong, who was the backbone of the "Total Faction"
Toutiao Yingji couldn't help but be secretly surprised, because there were many sympathizers of the "Imperial Way Sect" within the Kwantung Army, and he himself might have become one of the targets of assassination by the "Imperial Way Sect" elements. Soon, the situation became more critical - the military commander stationed in Harbin
Major General Zhenchuan of the 11th Task Force Brigade sent a telegram, claiming to support the domestic "military remonstrance"; the 16th Division stationed in "Eastern Manchuria" has dispatched on its own and rushed to "Xinjing"; a riot broke out in the Jiamusi garrison camp and has been occupied
East Station, intercepted the train. Faced with the crisis situation, Tojo Hideki showed his consistent style and launched a large-scale manhunt according to the instructions of the Kwantung Army's suppression order. He instructed his military police to act directly without consulting the commander of the unit during the manhunt. He informed each division
, the brigade and the gendarmerie officers scattered around the country issued secret telegrams and secret orders, ordering the immediate execution of the traitors and rebels. According to the "blacklist", the gendarmerie in Changchun acted quickly and arrested and killed all senior officers of the "Imperial Dao Sect" in Changchun.
On the other hand, Hideki Tojo lost no time in sending a telegram to the emperor and the military headquarters to express his position, declaring that the Kwantung Army opposed "military remonstrance" and firmly supported the emperor. The telegram said: "The traitors of the 'Imperial Road Sect' killed important imperial ministers in order to
They forced the palace by force, humiliated our emperor and disrupted our political platform, which caused the whole world to be outraged. Now all the Kwantung Army declares their loyalty to the eternal line of the imperial line, and will not hesitate to use force to annihilate any rebellion in order to appease the Kingdom of God. To this day, they have sworn to fight against rebellion. Please invite the army
The Ministry immediately issued an order to arrest the scum and clean up the country. If the 'Imperial Road Sect' rebels raised their weapons to surrender as soon as possible, they would be exempted from severe punishment. If they refused to resist, the Kwantung Army would fight with force and carry out heaven's punishment! "Hideki Tojo"
The decisive and powerful actions of the Kwantung Army stabilized the situation of the Kwantung Army, allowing the "control faction" to firmly control this "flower of the imperial army", calling Tokyo a "counter-insurgency" operation. On the 28th, the Tokyo Martial Law Command issued a "Following Order"
Ordered "to dispatch troops to suppress the "rebels". The next day, the rebels surrendered one after another. Later, the 17 leading "Emperor's faction" officers and fascist theorist Kita Ikki were executed, and the other major "Emperor's faction"
"Officers were dismissed and demoted, and the "Imperial Way Sect" forces were purged in the military headquarters. With the failed outcome of the "February 26" mutiny, the "Regulatory Faction" gained a dominant position over the "Imperial Way Faction"
Hideki Tojo's "results" in suppressing the anti-Japanese armed forces of the people in Northeast China and restoring "public order in Manchuria", as well as his loyal performance in supporting the emperor in the "February 26 Incident", won him the support and appreciation of the Central Military Commission.
On December 1, 1936, Hideki Tojo was promoted to Army Lieutenant General.
The Kwantung Army, with Hideki Tojo as its chief of staff, clearly supported the hard-liners' position. They used the excuse that the Chinese army's entry into Chahar would pose a threat to Manchukuo and strongly requested the General Staff Headquarters to allow it to launch an offensive into North China. The Kwantung Army
This attitude is naturally what the hard-liners want. Tojo Hideki, who has figured out the hard-liners' background, once again used his "razor" style and made a move to kill first and then play later - he acted without the permission of the General Staff Headquarters.
Next, a force was dispatched in advance to advance towards Chahar and continued to create false incidents. By mid-August, China and the Soviet Union concluded a non-aggression treaty, which gave Tojo more basis for his tough remarks.
Therefore, in the meetings held by the Kwantung Army on consecutive days, Tojo Hideki openly sought theoretical basis for the attack on Chahar, claiming: "The main purpose of this attack can be summed up in three points: First, it can change China's Japanese platoon
policy; secondly, to prevent the further growth of communist forces; thirdly, to help develop the economy of North China. If these three goals cannot be achieved, the security of the empire will not be guaranteed. "At the same time, the Kwantung Army independently drafted the "Review of the Times"
Bureau Handling Outline", which proposed five policies to launch an all-out armed attack to punish the Nanjing government and annihilate the Central Army heading north. It also stated: "Establish local political power to seek clarity in the areas bordering Manchuria, and in order to prepare for war against the Soviet Union,
It is crucial to ensure the security of the front. To this end, "at least the provinces of Chahar, Hebei, and Shandong must be completely independent." Their intention is very clear, that is, to use this Sino-Japanese conflict to establish a puppet regime in North China.
Divide China and prevent the surging anti-Japanese forces from forming a united front and posing a threat to Japan, thus affecting its preparations for the war against the Soviet Union. Under this circumstance, the Japanese General Staff Headquarters agreed to the Kwantung Army's request for the Chahar war.
However, as the situation further developed, at the cabinet meeting, Foreign Minister Hirota Koki proposed not to escalate the situation, while Tibetan Prime Minister Kaya Konobu stated from a financial perspective the various financial difficulties that Japan would face if the situation was expanded.
.But the actual situation is that the Kwantung Army is like a wild horse and has no other choice but to obey the development of the current situation. At this time, Tojo Hideki was impatient. He ignored the "instructions of the central government" and immediately set out to arrest the traitors.
The brand of the Chanan Autonomous Regime was sacrificed. The Japanese army also did a very "timely job" in its "propaganda" work. After the Zhangjiakou Battle, they quickly compiled a military song in praise of Tojo Hideki:
The wind blew dust and sand along the river, and the pastures of the Mongolian plateau were fragrant. They marched to Zhangbei, attacking the Great Wall at night without any hindrance, and the trenches were withered and filled with night scent. The two brigades of Yuasa Shichuan and Yuasa Shichuan under the Octagonal Terrace went straight forward and quickly captured Zhangjiakou.
Mignonette, Yuxiang, sweet grapes, Chanan Autonomy has been established.
The next day Jiang Qiang started his work in Tianjin. The first thing he did was to investigate the traitor Pan Yugui of the 29th Army. Pan Yugui, courtesy name Yansheng, was born in Yanshan, Hebei Province in 1884. His father had done
The prefect of Guangxi in the early Qing Dynasty, he himself was also a member of the Qing Dynasty. Pan Yugui studied in Japan in his early years. After graduating from Waseda University in Japan, he studied law. In 1917, Pan Yugui served as the director of the military law department of the 12th Division of Chen Guangyuan and concurrently as the director of the unified taxation of Jingdezhen, Jiangxi. In April 1923
Later, he served as vice president of the Mongolian and Tibetan Academy, counselor of the State Council, and deputy director of the Jinpu Railway Bureau. In June 1935, together with Shi Yousan and Bai Jianwu, he launched the "Beiping Autonomy". In December 1935, when Song Zheyuan was appointed chairman of the Hebei-Cha Government Affairs Committee, he was
Director of the Political Affairs Office and Senior Advisor of the Pingjin Garrison Command. It was this guy who ruined the 29th Army Student Corps. After receiving information from Pan Yugui, the Japanese army directly attacked the student army, which had little combat effectiveness, resulting in heavy casualties to the student army. There were 1,700 student soldiers.
There were less than 600 people who returned to Peiping alive, and Nanyuan was finally lost. Two generals, Tong Linge and Zhao Dengyu, also died heroically. In fact, according to the combat effectiveness of Zhao Dengyu's troops, they were fully capable of fighting Japan, but the Japanese army chose student soldiers as a breakthrough
, in fact, no matter where the student soldiers are placed, the Japanese army will take the lead in attacking these student soldiers, because Pan Yugui has already handed over the military deployment of the 29th Army to the Japanese. This time his arrival will definitely not let this tragedy happen again. Chapter 1
One of them was Pan Yugui. When Jiang Qiang was in Shanghai, he began to collect all the information on traitors in Peiping, and decided to eliminate those traitors first when the war came.
