In addition to Zhou Weiguo and Dong Jiang, the action team has a total of 120 people, and six people are accompanying them into the city this time.
Early the next morning, Cao Dabao and five soldiers set out one after another to verify the specific conditions of the French Concession and the public concession where the rescuers were detained.
After Zhou Weiguo discussed with Qiaokou Sanjian, he immediately called the remaining personnel of the action team at Jinmen East Station.
The content of the call was very clear. Except for the twenty response personnel left behind, the rest of the personnel entered the city in borrowed trucks.
In this operation, the 41st Division will not dispatch personnel to assist. Being able to dispatch trucks is the greatest assistance that Templeuchi can provide.
Shortly after the personnel arrived, Zhou Weiguo personally led people to conduct an on-site investigation of the Nanman Bank controlled by the Manchurian Railway in Jinmen City.
Before the Japanese army occupied Tianjin, there was a Banking Association in Tianjin. After the Japanese army came, they immediately intervened in the Tianjin Banking Association in order to control the financial development of North China.
Those that were taken over and reorganized by the Japanese and puppets included the China and Communications Banks, Salt Industry, Mainland China, and Zhongnan Bank, while the three banks directly controlled by the Japanese and puppets were Hebei, Jidong, and Citizen Banks.
As for the Nanman Bank, it is a separate existence. The reason why Zhou Weiguo chose the Nanman Bank is very simple. As a bank controlled by the Manchurian Railway, the Nanman Bank is rich, very rich. There must be a large amount of gold stored in the bank's vault. This is Qiaokou
Sanjian’s original words.
On the other hand, the Bank of Manchuria has no business with ordinary citizens. In addition to providing funds to various institutions under the Manchurian Railway, another important business is to transfer the wages paid by Japanese soldiers to their families.
Therefore, robbing the Nanman Bank will not cause financial harm to the citizens of Tianjin.
On the same day, investigators returned one after another, and Zhou Weiguo gathered them together again.
"Let's take action when it gets dark today. The Nanman Bank's defense force is not strong, but there is a police station nearby, so the force is not something to be afraid of!"
"The first target is the Nanman Bank. I will personally lead the team, Dong Jiang, Xu Hu, and you two to lead the team to the French Concession and the Public Concession for rescue. Trucks will directly pull the people to the cargo station outside the city, but the rescue time
Do you understand after the commotion in Nanman Bank?" Zhou Weiguo said.
"Understood!" The two men nodded in agreement. When the matter came to a close, no one present showed any fear.
With Mitake Hashiguchi, a local snake who is familiar with Tianjin, acting as a traitor, the action team has an extremely clear understanding of the situation in Tianjin.
Although the 21st Division has a large number of troops, its divisional area covers the vast eastern Hebei region including Jinmen, so its troops are actually stretched thin.
The main forces in Jinmen City include the Japanese gendarmerie and the puppet garrison, the detective team under the secret service, and the personnel of the division and regiment headquarters.
There are two military camps at Jinmen East Station outside the city and Jinmen Main Station on the west side. There are about 500 Japanese soldiers stationed here.
As long as you act quickly and are covered by the trucks of the 41st Division, the Japanese troops outside the city will arrive and it will not be a problem to send the rescuers to the office.
At noon, just as the action team was getting ready to go, an unexpected scene happened at the Japanese Army's East Camp near Jinmen East Station outside the city.
The officer who caused trouble at the Furong Hotel yesterday was named Nobuo Yumoto. He had the rank of captain and was a Japanese squadron leader of the Japanese army in the East Day Camp.
In the house, Nobuo Yumoto gathered several close officers and told them what happened yesterday. The few kidnappers present were filled with indignation and looked sad.
The Japanese government's act of forcibly recruiting and sacrificing the families of Japanese soldiers is tantamount to digging into its own foundation. Although a few little devils have heard about this kind of thing before, their superiors have always claimed that it is a myth. This time it can be said that it happened in
Evidence before your eyes.
"Baga Yalu, we are fighting for the empire on the front line. Our family members at home are working all day long and don't have enough to eat. Even our family members are forced to go to China to serve as comfort women. I don't understand why the warriors of the empire are treated like this.
!”
"Yumoto-kun, can you swallow this breath?" a Japanese officer roared.
Previously, the Japanese troops stationed outside the city were deeply resentful. The reason was that these Japanese troops were soldiers who had withdrawn from Shanghai and were preparing to return to Japan for the New Year.
At that time, nearly 3,000 Japanese troops arrived at Tianjin by ship from Shanghai, but the transport ship stopped at Dagukou.
Before boarding the ship, according to the orders issued by their superiors, this group of Japanese soldiers returned to China to recuperate and spend the New Year to reunite with their families. At first, these Japanese soldiers were very happy, but in fact they were sent to Jidong to suppress the Eighth Route Army, so
This group of Japanese soldiers was so excited that they almost broke out into a mutiny.
In the end, Masaharu Honma repeatedly promised that after half a year, everyone would take turns.
At this point, the Japanese troops gave up.
Afterwards, the Jinmen Japanese Army Headquarters uniformly distributed these Japanese troops. The original troublemakers were collectively placed in two military camps outside Jinmen City for suppression, and the remaining Japanese troops were sent to various places in eastern Hebei.
However, the good times did not last long. These Japanese troops often had contact with each other. Japanese officers in eastern Hebei accidentally discovered that the reason why they failed to return home in time was most likely because the soldiers of the 21st Division had returned home for vacation first.
There was a shortage of troops in the division's area, so they were detained as a group of enemies who happened to be passing by.
This news soon began to spread within this group of Japanese soldiers. After the New Year, the homesickness became more and more serious, and everyone was filled with anger.
It no longer mattered who gave the order. Everyone pointed their finger at Honma Masaharu, the highest commander of the Japanese army stationed in Tianjin.
Although the Japanese Communist Party brainwashed the soldiers, as the war continued, many people had come back to their senses.
Yesterday, the incident involving Nobuo Yumoto was like a fuse, threatening to ignite this powder keg.
"There is an old saying in China, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. We have done enough for the empire. There must be traitors in front of the emperor to deceive us. We must do something to attract the attention of His Majesty the Emperor!" Tang
Ben Nobuo said in a deep voice.
The people present included Japanese officers stationed in the East Camp, as well as officers from the West Camp. The kid's brain circuit was always different from that of ordinary people, otherwise he would not have been brainwashed by the Japanese, and he would all agree with what he heard.
Nobuo Yumoto called his close friends, but he actually had a plan: "After we returned, we mobilized soldiers with all heavy weapons on the grounds that the Nanman Bank withheld the allowances sent to the country by the soldiers. The soldiers from the East Camp were responsible for attacking the city.
The Gendarmerie Headquarters is responsible for seizing the South Manchurian Bank, and the soldiers of the Western Battalion are responsible for seizing the Defense Headquarters and seizing the arsenal!"
"What about the two military camp commanders?" someone asked.
"Sir, is it still the sir who is colluding with others to suppress the soldiers in our unit?" Yumoto Nobuo said with a sinister smile.
The Japanese army has always been in favor of the subordinates overcoming the superiors, and they did not put forward any different opinions on Yumoto Nobuo's proposal.
After the agreed time, many officers returned to their headquarters as if they were drunk.
A mutiny around Jinmen began, and the powder keg composed of Japanese soldiers outside Jinmen City was about to explode.
There was not much planning in advance for this mutiny. It was completely decided by a group of military officers at the drop of a hat. However, it reflected the current national situation where public opinion in Japan is boiling.
Judging from the current situation, although the mutinous Japanese army has an advantage in numbers, they are ultimately rootless. If they cause trouble domestically, the poor people living at the bottom of Japan will surely gather their influence, thus setting off an opposition to foreign wars.
