In the dark and damp air-raid shelter, two guards held flashlights to explore the road ahead. Under the dim light, the tunnel that had not been ventilated for a long time seemed a bit eerie and closed.
Masaharu Honma followed behind. Although he was in a tunnel, but based on the approximate direction and the chaotic footsteps coming from the place, he was able to judge that he was still directly below the defense headquarters and heading toward the southeast of the main city.
With.
After the September 18th Incident, before the Japanese army occupied Tianjin, Pingjin and Tianjin became the forefront of the confrontation between China and Japan. Due to the concessions of various countries in Tianjin, the disputes between the two sides mainly existed in the Beiping area, and Tianjin became the Sino-Japanese
Negotiating table for both parties.
Everyone in the Nationalist Government knows that the fall of Beijing and Tianjin is the general trend and there is no way to reverse it.
Since Tianjin was always under the threat of Japanese aircraft bombing and naval artillery, the 38th Division of the 29th Army stationed in Tianmen at that time dug an air-raid shelter under its headquarters. Its other function was an escape passage. The exit of the passage
In the southeast corner of the main urban area, the Japanese Concession is to the southeast after exiting the tunnel, and the Public Concession is to the east. In times of crisis, you can avoid the pursuit of the Japanese army.
After the Japanese army occupied Jinmen, the Japanese had always been arrogant. In addition, Jinmen was located in the rear area, so there was no danger of being bombed, so the air-raid shelter was closed. How could Masaharu Honma have expected that it would come in handy one day.
Just as Honma Masaharu continued to move forward along the tunnel, a loud noise suddenly came from behind, and in an instant a wave of air hit along the tunnel. Fortunately, the corner weakened the power of the explosion, and Honma Masaharu and others were not affected.
It was affected, but it was still disgraced.
"Ahem, Bagaya Road, these traitors who have betrayed the empire will definitely not be spared when I get out, so move forward quickly!"
Defense Command.
Seeing that the headquarters was fully occupied, Nobuo Yumoto couldn't help but be overjoyed. However, when he heard the report, the joy on his face disappeared instantly: "Bagaya Road, what did you say? No body of Masaharu Honma was found?"
"Yes, sir, there is another exit from the air-raid shelter, but it was blown up. No trace of the division commander has been found so far!" a kid reported.
"Masharu Honma is a sinner of the Japanese Empire and a embezzler who withheld the wages of the warriors. He is not worthy to be the division commander of the warriors!" Yumoto Nobuo corrected angrily.
"Hi!"
Nobuo Yumoto quickly entered the tunnel and saw more than 40 corpses of Japanese soldiers lying in the open space of the air raid shelter. Another confidant was leading dozens of mutinous Japanese soldiers to clean up the blown tunnel entrance.
Masaharu Honma was the highest-ranking officer of the Japanese army stationed in Jinmen. Before the mutiny, Nobuo Yumoto had repeatedly issued orders to see people alive and corpses dead.
If Masaharu Honma escapes and enters the Japanese Concession, it is very likely that he will join forces with the Manchuria Railway and other Japanese settlement organizations to launch a counterattack.
However, Yumoto Nobuo and other Japanese soldiers who had just arrived did not know that there was an air raid shelter under the headquarters, and they had not yet captured the circuit map at the headquarters.
“How long will it take to clean it out?”
"Sir, it will take at least half a day!"
"There is no need for the warriors to waste their energy anymore. Immediately send people to block the passage from the main city to the Japanese Concession and conduct a strict search of the surrounding areas!" Yumoto Nobuo ordered.
After the searchers were dispatched, Matsubara Ryozo, the leader of the Japanese mutiny leader of the Nishi Camp, who was responsible for capturing the military police headquarters and the arsenal, arrived. After learning that Masaharu Honma had escaped, his expression also changed.
"Yumoto-kun, now the military police headquarters, defense headquarters and even the arsenal in the city are all occupied by us, but Masaharu Honma has escaped. I am afraid that the dispatched army headquarters already knows about the mutiny. What should we do now?" Matsubara Ryozo
At this time, I had also recovered from the fervor of the mutiny, and I couldn't help but feel confused about what to do next.
At that time, everyone decided at the first glance that now that the matter is over, there must be a way out.
The Japanese mutiny is an old tradition and is well-founded. The most famous one is the 226 Mutiny caused by the dispute between the Imperial Faction and the Domineering Faction in Japan.
Technocrats who are top academics who graduated from mainland China generally belong to the ruling faction; officers from middle and lower classes who graduated from Lu Shi belong to the imperial faction. Due to the dispute over core interests, the two factions were incompatible and finally saw the light of day.
As the conflict continued to intensify, the ruling faction demoted the leading figure of the Kodo faction, and the Kodo faction officers retaliated. Aizawa Saburo, who was proficient in swordsmanship, directly cut down Tetsuyama Nagata, the leader of the ruling faction, in the office, and was subsequently caught by the military police.
Of course, the Huangdao faction must have found a lot of defenses and prepared to find reasons for a lighter sentence, but the Controlling faction was in a high position and took advantage of this incident to transfer the core members of the Huangdao faction to die on the Chinese battlefield. The grassroots officers of the Huangdao faction were unwilling
Waiting for death, the February 26th Mutiny that shocked China and the world broke out.
The grassroots officers of the Kodo Sect mobilized about a thousand soldiers, shouted the slogan "Honor the emperor and punish the traitors, and punish the national thieves", and assassinated Japanese Finance Minister Takahashi Korekiyo and a group of navy ministers.
The mutiny started suddenly, similar to that of Yumoto Nobuo and others. It was probably decided with a slap on the head. The process was also rough, and the result was destined to fail.
Without clarifying the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction, and without distinguishing the relationship between enemy and friend, these grassroots officers tried to kill the so-called target person in order to gain the trust of the Japanese Emperor.
However, this internal dispute, which was originally limited to the Japanese Army, actually killed a group of Navy Ministers, which also caused a backlash from the Japanese Navy.
Yumoto Nobuo did not experience the February 26th Mutiny, but the seniors of the Imperial Way faction in the army regretted that if they had controlled the imperial palace, the military headquarters and other important military and political areas as soon as possible, the mutiny might not have failed.
So after the mutiny started, Yumoto Nobuo's main target was Honma Masaharu.
"Matsuhara-kun, please be patient. The current situation is favorable to us. Even if Masaharu Honma escapes to the concession or gets support from Manchuria Railway and other institutions, the arsenal is occupied by us and they do not have many weapons and equipment."
Expatriates, the next step is to take control of Jinmen East Railway Station, West Railway Station and Dongjuzi Airport immediately, and cut off contact with the outside world. Don't worry, I have my own plans for the follow-up matters!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hey, I'll let someone do it right now!" Matsubara Ryozo responded.
Yumoto Nobuo's mind is also a mess, but now the mutinous soldiers need him to stand up and stabilize people's hearts.
On the other side, because the members of the action team were wearing Japanese military uniforms, Cao Dabao was worried about being accidentally injured by the mutinous Japanese army. After Cao Dabao found out the situation at the Japanese headquarters, he immediately led his troops back. Along the way, he also met the special committee members who went to Tianjin.
Connecting team members.
Several people walked along the crossing street and arrived at the southeast corner of the main city safely, and were about to enter the Japanese Concession.
Cao Dabao immediately found an abandoned house and sent people up to the roof to investigate whether there were any searches at the entrance to the Japanese concession.
Unexpectedly, there was a rustling sound coming from the house below, followed by a few words in Japanese. Several people had already checked the house before, and there were no traces of anyone living in the house.
"Is this haunted? Go down and have a look!" Cao Dabao said softly.
The two accompanying Japanese soldiers from the office stayed on the roof. Cao Dabao and another team member climbed down gently, and the two hid at the door of the room.

I heard the creaking sound of the door that had been in disrepair for a long time, and three disgraced Japanese soldiers filed out. Without waiting to confirm who the visitor was, the two men immediately swept the door and knocked the person down.
Poor Honma Masaharu had just emerged from the dark tunnel, and before she could take a breath of fresh air, she was knocked down by Cao Dabao and the two guards. The two guards tried to pull out their pistols to resist, but their necks were trampled directly.
When something unexpected happened again, Honma Masaharu threw her legs up and tried to crawl into the house, but was pulled hard by Cao Dabao and staggered.
"Don't do it, don't do it. I am Honma Masaharu, the commander of the 21st Division. I am one of my own!" After seeing the nameplate on Cao Dabao's chest, Honma Masaharu hurriedly explained: "You are heading to the headquarters.
Reinforcements, how many people are here?"
After Cao Dabao and Cao Dabao learned the identity of Masaharu Honma, their eyes became red and their breathing became rapid.
The two looked at each other. It was really bad luck to capture a Japanese division commander alive, and in Jinmen, the Japanese base camp. What a great achievement, but it was also the first time for the entire Eighth Route Army.
Masaharu Honma seemed to also notice that something was wrong, and without allowing him to react further, the two of them pounced on him.
