Chapter 656: Robbery of the bank and bombardment of the headquarters
On the road leading from Dongdaying to Jinmen, a large number of heavily armed Japanese troops lined up. Although the common people along the way hated the little Japs to the core, they encountered groups of little Japs head-on, and none of them could care less about their sprained calves. , or slide into the ditch on the side of the road, or get into the small woods next to it.
When the Japanese troops disappeared from sight, the people who were hiding could not help but heave a sigh of relief and gathered on the avenue again.
"Young and old men, it's really strange. These Japanese soldiers are heading towards Jinmen in a ferocious manner. What big thing happened in the city?" One person wore an earmuff on his head, shrank his head, and was about to leave as he spoke. Follow the Japanese troops behind and quietly watch the excitement.
Peiping and Tianjin are the political and commercial centers of the north. In recent years, the local people have been accustomed to wars and chaos. They have always been extremely sensitive in this regard, and there are many people who want to watch the excitement.
"Hey, you want to die. If you run into a little devil head-on, just be satisfied if you survive!" The other man quickly grabbed the person who was traveling with him, and then spat in the distance: "Bah, you bitch will die. That would be great!"
Nobuo Yumoto was sitting in the sidecar of the sidecar, his face was stern, and his uniform was even stained with blood.
The operation was smoother than expected. As soon as Yumoto Nobuo slapped the fan, the dissatisfaction of the Japanese soldiers in the East Camp was immediately aroused. They screamed for a so-called justice. The top officer of the military camp tried to suppress it. He was killed by Nobuo Yumoto and his men.
Soon after, a search team on horseback returned from the front. The leading Japanese soldier Cao Hui reported: "Sir, the telephone lines from the south and east of the city to the suburbs have been cut off!"
"Youxi!" Yumoto Nobuo was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately ordered the troops to speed up their march.
Encountering a stronghold along the way, the puppet army officer at the checkpoint bravely questioned him. Unexpectedly, Nobuo Yumoto stepped forward and slapped him twice, which made the puppet army officer's eyes flash with stars.
The kid in the artillery building wanted to call the city to inquire, but the call could not be connected. Soon the entire stronghold was controlled by the Japanese troops from Dongda Camp.
Due to the special nature of Jinmen, the Japanese troops stationed outside the city were not allowed to mobilize on a large scale without orders, not to mention that this group of Japanese troops were heading towards Jinmen.
This is why Nobuo Yumoto sent a search team to take the lead.
"Warriors, we are fighting for the empire on the front line, but the families of the warriors who died fighting for the empire are conscripted into comfort stations, and their pensions are forced to be saved. Why is this? Is this the treatment we deserve?"
"I even suspect that the Bank of South Manchuria withheld the wages sent to the country by the soldiers. The old people in my hometown no longer have rice to satisfy their hunger, they have no clothes to wear, and they were even forcibly conscripted into the factory!"
"We want to resist, we want to seek justice, and we want to go home!" Nobuo Yumoto raised his hands and shouted.
"Go home, go home!" the Japanese soldiers from Dongdaying behind him echoed with enthusiasm.
The few Japanese soldiers in the original stronghold did not understand what was going on. When they saw this scene, they immediately asked to join the mutiny team before they even asked about the specific actions of going to Tianjin.
Upon seeing this, Nobuo Yumoto nodded with satisfaction, feeling that I had the advantage: "Search Daisei!"
The puppet troops in the stronghold acted like quails one by one, for fear of getting into trouble. Then Nobuo Yumoto ordered two Japanese soldiers from Dongda Camp to hold on to the stronghold and guard the puppet troops. The large force once again moved towards Jinmen.
march.
The Japanese soldiers in the strongholds along the way, whether they were willing to participate in the mutiny or those who wanted to observe the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, were all coerced towards Jinmen in front of the barrel of a gun.
The conversation is divided into two parts, the office of the 41st Division.
Seeing that the time for the operation was getting closer, the members of the operation team were recuperating. Before the operation, Zhou Weiguo contacted the remaining personnel of the operation team at the freight station outside the city by phone as usual. Unexpectedly, he made many calls but could not get through.
"It's strange, why can't the phone call go through?" Zhou Weiguo had a bad feeling in his heart: "Dong Jiang, find Qiaokou Sanjian!"
After learning about the situation, Hashiguchi Sanken was also confused: "No, this line is a separate line of our 41st Division. It has only been used for less than a year. It is impossible for the line to age.
Besides, this is Jinmen, the public security is good, and it’s impossible for anyone to damage the lines!”
Hashiguchi Miken's words gave Zhou Weiguo a wake-up call, and he immediately asked: "Is there any other route? Try it right away?"
"Takeshita-kun, don't be so nervous!" Hashiguchi Miken is a good money maker, but he has been hanging around Jinmen for a long time and has lost his due vigilance.
"Nervous? Mr. Hashiguchi, we are putting all our lives and fortunes here. The sacrifice of the action team members is small, but the delay in the mission is big. The closer the critical moment is, the more cautious we must be. Please help us verify it, Mr. Hashiguchi!"
After Zhou Weiguo finished speaking, he bowed to Qiaokou Sanjian.
"Come with me!" Under the leadership of Hashiguchi Mitake, the two of them arrived at an office.
"The phone here uses the line that connects the National Defense Command to the train station!" Hashiguchi Miken said, dialing the phone: "Pick me to the station office of the East Station, what? I can't get through, okay, I understand!"
Hashiguchi Miken's face was gloomy and he hung up the phone decisively, obviously realizing something.
"It's broken, something really happened!" It's a serious crime to harbor the Eighth Route Army, not to mention that this is not Handan, the base camp of the 41st Division.
"Mr. Qiaokou, don't panic, maybe he's not here for us!" Zhou Weiguo's heart kept sinking, but now he still needed to stabilize Qiaokou's three health, and the term "we" changed from "we" to "we".
"How many troops can you contact in Handan?"
"A week ago, we just arranged for a group of soldiers to return home for vacation. Now there are more than 20 civilian staff in the office, and there is also a 13-person escort team. There is a small team of troops at the cargo station, and there are also Osaka residents working there.
More than a hundred people can be armed at any time, do I need to notify the division commander?"
"No, the situation is not clear yet, but no matter how far this matter develops, it cannot be linked to your superiors. Do you understand, Hashiguchi-kun!"
"Yes, yes, I understand!"
At this moment, Miken Hashiguchi also woke up from the initial panic. He would most likely die in the end. Isamu Terauchi has always been generous to his subordinates and would not treat his family badly. But if Isamu Terauchi is involved, once Isamu Terauchi falls, in the end
The interests of the entire 41st Division and even their families will be affected.
"Dong Jiang, ask Cao Dabao to lead people to investigate the surrounding area for any abnormalities, especially the situation at the city gate. If there are any abnormalities, be sure to get rid of the enemy and notify the comrades of the Jinmen Special Committee in a timely manner!"
"Mr. Qiaoguchi, the action team members are not familiar with the roads in Tianjin. You need to send someone to assist. In addition, you and I will use the radio to contact the personnel at the freight station outside the city at the same time and order them to conduct external investigations. Everyone should be armed and be on guard.
, ready to respond at any time!”
Although Zhou Weiguo was a guest, he was mainly a guest at this time. Qiaokou Sanjian was also quite convinced and immediately agreed.
After receiving the order, Cao Dabao immediately took several members of the action team and the Japanese troops from the office to go out for investigation. Cao Dabao's manpower was equivalent to testing unknown situations from the outside world.
If the enemy has surrounded the office, letting Cao Dabao and others go out is tantamount to revealing their intentions, and they will definitely take action in advance.
Cao Dabao and others dispersed and walked around the office, but there was nothing unusual at all.
"That's strange. You immediately return the way you came from and inform the captain of the situation. The others will go all the way to contact the comrades of the Tianjin Special Committee. They will go all the way to the detention place in the French Concession. They will also check the situation at the South City Gate on the way. I will lead them myself.
Go to the enemy headquarters to investigate!"
Cao Dabao issued the order in an orderly manner, and the troops were divided into three groups to continue the investigation. In addition to the main urban area, Jinmen also encompassed several concessions. Fortunately, there were Japanese troops who were familiar with Jinmen's office to lead the way.
At the same time, around four o'clock in the afternoon that day, the mutinous Japanese troops magically arrived at the east gate of Jinmen. The journey was extremely smooth, and they did not even encounter the slightest resistance. The number of troops increased from more than 500 to more than 600.
people.
The Japanese troops responsible for the defense of Jinmen City were from the headquarters of the 21st Division. They were not in the same system as Nobuo Yumoto and the Japanese troops who came from Shanghai, and they usually did not give each other face.
When a Japanese sergeant saw a large group of Japanese troops, he immediately ordered them to stop. Seeing this, Nobuo Yumoto jumped out of the sidecar in an aggressive manner, walked up to the interrogating Japanese sergeant, and said in a deep voice: "The Eighth Route Army personnel who have sneaked into the city are...
Following the order of the Defense Headquarters, our troops will enter the city to search, and anyone who dares to block it will be punished!"
"Sir, but we didn't receive the order!" The little Japanese soldier Cao Sa glanced at the murderous troops behind him and asked bravely: "Can I ask my superiors?"
"Baga, you've delayed something important, and you're going to have to go to court-martial!" Nobuo Yumoto took out a Southern Type 14 pistol and put it against the little Japanese sergeant's forehead, and said forcefully.
"Hi!" the little Japanese sergeant stood at attention and responded. Although he noticed something was wrong, he did not dare to say anything more. He could only watch helplessly as a small group of soldiers took over the city defense works.
After successfully entering the city, Nobuo Yumoto ordered one of his confidants and the second squad of Japanese troops to go to the north gate to take over the city defenses. Then, in order to avoid accidental injuries, all the remaining soldiers wrapped dog skin plasters and turbans on their foreheads. All the soldiers were divided into two groups and went straight to the city.
The other group of Nanman Bank was personally led by him to prepare for the capture of the Defense Headquarters.
At this time, the Japanese troops participating in the mutiny in the two battalions did not even have time to communicate more. However, the Japanese military leaders of the Defense Command and the Military Police Command have not noticed anything amiss so far. The senior officials of many Japanese organizations in the city are still immersed in the joy and wine.
middle.
Just as Nobuo Yumoto led his team towards the defense headquarters, they ran into a patrol in the city. Without allowing any reaction from the other side, the Japanese soldiers from the East Camp immediately opened fire.
After a burst of fierce gunfire, the ground on the opposite street was stained red with blood, and the Japanese soldiers on the patrol fell to the ground in confusion.
Of course Nobuo Yumoto understands that there is no turning back when the bow is fired, and it is important to move quickly. These colleagues in the clear sense are under the jurisdiction of the Military Police Headquarters. As law enforcers, they will naturally not participate in the mutiny, so they will not show mercy at all.
the meaning of.
"keep going!"
Originally, some Japanese patrols still had a trace of survival, but they were trampled by the mutinous Japanese troops and completely lost their lives.
Originally, wherever the mutinous Japanese troops passed, pedestrians and shops on the road retreated, but now there were gunshots again, and the nearby streets suddenly became empty.
The sudden fierce gunshots stunned both the enemy and ourselves in the city.
Cao Dabao was completely confused. Why didn't anyone in the action team take action?
"Which direction did the gunfire come from?"
"Hi, it's near the Defense Headquarters!"
Cao Dabao was even more confused after hearing this. He went to the Japanese Defense Headquarters to investigate, so how could there be gunfire?
Before everyone had more time to react, gunshots were heard from everywhere in Jinmen City, and they tended to become more and more intense.
"Are there often such large battles in Jinmen City?"
"Occasionally, the gendarmerie will chase underground gangs running around in the city, but this has never happened before!" the accompanying Japanese soldier replied honestly.
"Be careful and keep moving forward!" Cao Dabao said through gritted teeth.
At this time, mutinous Japanese troops from both East Daying and West Daying had entered the city. The situation in Jinmen City became increasingly chaotic, and many residents in the city were affected by the sudden fighting.
Jinmen Japanese Defense Command.
The commander of the 21st Japanese Division, Masaharu Honma, frowned as he listened to the fierce gunfire in the city. None of the personnel sent out have returned. So far, the Defense Command does not know what happened.
"The division commander, Chief Tatsumi Amamiya, said that Fukushima Street was under attack. The soldiers of the Nishi Camp stationed outside the city were suspected of mutiny. The personnel of the Military Police Headquarters are resisting with all their strength!" The adjutant on the side put down the phone and reported immediately.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Nani?" Masaharu Honma had some vague speculations in her mind after knowing that external communications were cut off, but she was still shocked when she received the confirmed news.
"Send personnel again, and order the gendarmerie and garrison teams to immediately gather at the gendarmerie headquarters or defense headquarters nearby. At the same time, contact the Manchuria Railway, Xingzhong Company and other institutions, and the armed foreigners in the concession will quickly participate in the counter-insurgency battle!" Slow down!
Honma Masaharu immediately realized that the troops in Jinmen City could not resist the mutinous Japanese army.
"Hi!"
After the adjutant left, Honma Masaharu gave the order again and again, asking people to contact the offices of each division in Jinmen City and request the vacation Japanese soldiers stranded in Jinmen to go to the arsenal to be armed and assist the military police in countering the rebellion.
At this time, the Japanese military police headquarters in Jinmen City was the first to be attacked. Soon after, the Nanman Bank, which had few security personnel, was captured by the mutinous Japanese army.
"Give me some!" Nobuo Yumoto shouted while hiding behind a street bunker, holding his command knife.
The enemy was engaged by more than a hundred puppet troops commanded by more than a dozen military policemen. Under the fierce firepower of the mutinous Japanese army, they retreated steadily. Then several artillery shells fell near the opponent's position, and the mutinous Japanese army surrounded them.
.
After defeating the stubborn enemy, Nobuo Yumoto did not disperse the pursuit, but concentrated his forces towards the defense headquarters.
Soon after, the heavily armed mutinous Japanese troops arrived at the defense headquarters. Nobuo Yumoto himself did not expect that the mutiny would go so smoothly, and the whole process did not encounter too much resistance.
The defense headquarters was right in front of him, and Nobuo Yumoto shouted with enthusiasm: "Soldiers, take down the headquarters and prepare for bombardment!"
"Tong Tong Tong!" The two Type 92 infantry cannons working together made a dull sound. After several rounds of shells, the defenses in front of the defense headquarters were submerged in the flames.
"Spread some!"
More than 300 mutinous Japanese troops divided into three groups and launched the final attack on the defense headquarters.
