Chapter 143 There are only six days until the July 7th Incident.
The assassination of Marine Corps Commander Okawauchi Denchi really made the Japanese Marine Corps go crazy. They constantly dispatched a large number of intelligence personnel to collect detailed information about the assassins.
It's a pity that no matter whether it was the infiltration of the Marine Corps, the Japanese base camp, Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro, or senior naval personnel, they all couldn't believe it. They actually spent five months collecting intelligence and still couldn't find the murderer behind the scenes.
And the time also entered July 1, 1937, less than a week after the July 7th Incident.
Since June 1937, the Japanese troops stationed in Fengtai have continuously held provocative military exercises.
The 29th Army tolerated such a blatant challenge by the Japanese army and did not engage in large-scale conflicts or battles with the Japanese army. However, the smell of gunpowder on both sides became increasingly intense and could explode at any moment.
At this time, Zhou Wenhua had already deployed his troops into Peiping for several months, but they were all disguised as workers in his various factories, security teams, and workers in shops.
Therefore, it did not attract the attention of the Japanese intelligence agents, military commanders, and officers and soldiers of the 29th Route Army.
"There are only 6 days until the July 7th Incident breaks out! It seems that the peace period will be gone forever. At the very least, we have to survive the long eight-year hard years of the Anti-Japanese War!"
"The Japanese invaders' intention to destroy our country has never changed!"
"So these stupid things should be killed!"
"It's just a pity that the 29th Route Army and Yan Laoxi from Taiyuan are no match for these Japanese troops. Especially Yan Laoxi from Taiyuan, they were defeated even more quickly!"
"Even my hometown of Taiyuan and the arsenal were completely occupied by the Japanese army!"
"I don't know how many Japanese troops I can kill in this battle!"
"Forget it! If you can kill more, just a little!"
"But it can definitely give these stupid Japanese troops a big surprise!"
"At least we have to kill more than one of his regiments, or even one division of his troops here in Beiping, or in Taiyuan! Then I will see how many divisions they have that can be deployed here!"
"Or they can be dispatched from here to Songhu to join the battle!"
Zhou Wenhua was sitting alone in a private room on the third floor of his restaurant, staring at the scene of people coming and going on the street, and murmuring to himself.
At the same time, he was eating and drinking.
And thinking about how many Japanese troops to annihilate in Beiping and Taiyuan.
On the Kwantung Army side,
The commander of the garrison, Lieutenant General Anichiro Tashiro, Lieutenant General Kozuki Kiyoshi, and the commander of the garrison's infantry brigade, Major General Shozo Kawabe, were also at their garrison, having dinner and chatting.
"Is Qingshui Jie, the squadron leader of the eighth squadron of the third brigade of the riverside brigade, following our combat instructions and preparing to start provoking those Chinese troops in six days?"
"This time we must provoke the 29th China Army into a battle. Then we can directly dispatch a large army to encircle and annihilate this unsightly China Army in one fell swoop!"
After taking a sip of sake,
The commander, Lieutenant General Amiichiro Tashiro, asked the brigade commander, Major General Shozo Kawabe.
"Yes! He has already followed our combat deployment and started leading his troops in the designated area, constantly provoking the bottom line of the 29th China Army!"
"Six days later, he will lead his troops from Fengtai to Marco Polo Bridge to continue the actual provocation. Of course, our final provocation destination is to encircle Wanping County where the Chinese Army is stationed and surrender this city to
Occupy it!"
"This is our first step in attacking China and Beiping. Our goal is to fully occupy the entire Beiping in China within a week, and then continue to move the army to Taiyuan to occupy as much of the northern area as possible.
Come down!"
"It's time to expand the territory of our empire and launch a new war!"
"The country of China must belong to our imperial army, not to these China armies with inferior weapons and equipment and zero industrial capacity!"
"For the prosperity of our empire, all of China must become an occupied area of our imperial army within three months!"
"By then, with the help of the vast land resources here, our empire will definitely be able to develop rapidly. By then, we will no longer need to be afraid of foreign troops. We will even be able to surpass these arrogant, damn foreign powers!"
"At that time, our empire will become a powerful country that attracts the attention of the world, standing here in the east!"
After the commander, Lieutenant General Anichiro Tashiro, finished speaking, Lieutenant General Kozuki Kiyoshi suddenly felt in a good mood and interjected.
He poured out the most ambitious goals and objectives in his heart.
