In the newly established office of the Doihara Agency in Peiping, Doihara was holding a telegram that had just been sent from Hong Kong, with a rather ugly face. In front of him, Tan Takahashi stood respectfully, not squinting, but with a look in his eyes. With a trace of curiosity, what was in the telegram that could make the head of the Doihara Agency, who is very deep in the city and easily calms down, be so rude?
Doihara scolded: "This bastard Matsui can't handle even a trivial matter. The same goes for this Xue Ying. Why don't you just kill Ouyang Yun?" If Ouyang Yun doesn't die, then Song Zheyuan will definitely not give in so easily. Then once the 10-day deadline is up, , Is the Kwantung Army really going to march into North China? Who will care about the anti-Japanese armed forces in the three northeastern provinces, which are regarded by His Majesty the Emperor as the future industrial and agricultural base of the empire. After scolding him, he frowned and thought for a while. Then asked Takahashi Tan: "You said that the National Government appointed Shang Zhen as Chairman of the Hebei Provincial Government."
"Hai."
The Nationalist Government's series of targeted arrangements in Hebei were not hidden from the Japanese. Takahashi Tan came here precisely to report the matter and discuss countermeasures. Shang Zhen was born in the Jin army and is currently the commander of the 32nd Army. He is a former Tianjin security guard. Commander, Dofeihara was no stranger to him. He carefully considered for a while and decided to take charge of three things. On the one hand, he continued to force Song Zheyuan to express his position. At the same time, he contacted Yin Rugeng and asked him to take the lead in setting up the "Anti-Communist Autonomous Committee" in Yidong and transfer the "Anti-Communist Autonomous Committee" to Yidong. The demilitarized zone stipulated in the Tanggu Agreement will first be turned into a small "Puppet Manchuria"; then we will win the support of Han Fuqu in Shandong, Yan Xishan in Shanxi, and Fu Zuoyi in Suiyuan to see if we can surround Song Zheyuan's troops in a circle Here, forcing him to accept the fact of "North China's high degree of autonomy",
In the evening, at the entrance of the village north of Nanjiazhuang in the southern suburbs of Duolun County, Chu Tiange and Zhang Xiaoquan were about to enter the village to buy some food. Suddenly they saw smoke and dust billowing from the south end of the village, and then the sound of gongs sounded in the village, followed by the sound of a strong man's voice. Shouting: "Wang San Mazi is coming, Wang San Mazi is coming..."
Wang Sanmazi is the nickname of a bandit leader who is active in the local area. He has hundreds of people and thirty-some guns under his command. He has always been one of the biggest dangers in the Duolun area.
Nanjiazhuang has been disturbed for a long time. Under the planning of the security chief Nanfang Ren, he organized a manpower to set up an anti-bandit self-defense force. Today, Nanfangren's nephew Nanda was responsible for the security duty. Nanda sounded a gong at the entrance of the village to warn Zhuangzi. The men inside took action one after another, rushing out with hunting forks, bows and arrows, and old sleeves, while the women began to yell at their children to go into the house and take shelter.
Nan Gouzi, who lives in the northernmost part of the village, picked up his hunting fork and rushed out of his house. When he saw Chu Tiange and Zhang Xiaoquan through the stone wall and iron gate at the entrance of the village, he was startled and shouted: "There are bandits here too." Then he quickly ran away. He ran behind the stone wall and put his hunting fork upright on the stone wall.
Several households adjacent to him heard Nan Gouzi's shouts, and several men rushed here immediately. The first man, about thirty years old, was holding a bird and hiding in front of Nan Gouzi's house. Behind a big tree, he began to aim at Chu and Chang.
Chu Tiange was startled and shouted hurriedly: "Fellow, we are not bandits, we are just passing by and want to buy some food. Please don't shoot."
I heard that he had a foreign accent and was wearing a suit. The man with the bird uniform stood up and directed everyone to surround them. He looked at them suspiciously and said, "Since you are a foreigner, you should leave quickly. , there are bandits coming here."
At this time, gunshots and shouts rang out from the south end of the village. Bandits had already rushed into the village on horseback. Chu Tiange pulled out his pistol and said, "We will help you fight the bandits." Zhang Xiaoquan nodded and also drew his pistol. draw a gun,
The villagers were shocked when they saw them taking out boxes of cannons. The man was more courageous and asked them with the bird in hand: "Sir, are you GCD?"
Chu Tiange thought for a while and said: "We are from the first column of the Yidong Special Police."
The man was overjoyed and said: "Then thank you two military masters." He hurriedly opened the iron gate and led them to the south end of the village.
Wang Sanmazi, whose real name is Wang Gangqiang, once served as a soldier in the Northeast Army. Later, he was fired and spent three years in prison for promiscuity against women. After he was released, he returned to Duolun, where he first made a living by petty theft, and later became the seat of Duolun County. The boss of the gangs in the south was spotted by the Japanese two years ago and given money and guns, so he mobilized his troops and became bandits. In the past two years, especially the Japanese forces, they have been able to legitimately enter the Yicha area. Later (the Japanese could enter the demilitarized zone in the name of reconnaissance), relying on the support of the Japanese, he did a bad thing. Nanjiazhuang was the target he had been waiting for for a long time. However, due to the attack of the first column of the Yidong Special Police existence, the villagers of Nanjiazhuang are very vigilant and have never succeeded. Not long ago, he received an order from the Japanese to let them move more frequently recently and occupy more territory to wait for Yin Rugeng to take over, so he decided to wait for an opportunity to conquer Nanjiazhuang. Jiazhuang, coincidentally, he got information yesterday that Zhang Qingyu had gone to Tianjin, so he chose to come and plunder at this time today.
In other villages, as soon as their gunfire rang out, the villagers were too frightened to say a word and allowed themselves to be slaughtered. However, Tangjiazhuang was an exception. They were discovered as soon as they appeared at the entrance of the village. When the gunfire rang out, the villagers did not make a fuss. The San, on the other hand, actually gathered together to fight against them. The terrain of Nanjiazhuang is very good. Behind the village is a mountain, and in front of the village is a stream about six meters wide. There are only two exits in the north and south, and there are stone walls at the exits. There were shooting holes on the wall, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. They then approached the stone wall. Several gunshots rang out. An old sleeve and a shotgun were fired at the same time. Two bandits were hit, and one fell to death on the spot. Next, another one was hit all over the face with iron sand, and his face was bleeding. He covered his face in pain and wailed.
Wang Sanmazi was very angry when he saw that the villagers were so tough and the bandits in the vanguard became timid. Their original plan was to take over Nanjiazhuang and get some money, so that they could wait for Yin Rugeng to come and collect them. Now, In order to boost morale, he announced that after capturing the village, all the men would be killed and the women would be left to their own devices. Then he pulled off his shirt, revealing his scarred chest, picked up two box cannons, and clamped the horse's belly with his feet. , rushed forward immediately,
When the bandits heard that they could do whatever they wanted with the women in the village, they became as lively as if they had been eaten. Seeing how brave the leader was, they started shouting loudly, and those with horses gave their horses a hard whip on the buttocks. Whip, those without horses also spread their legs and galloped, one by one bravely rushing towards the iron gate first.
Wang Sanmazi rushed to the front of the team, fired with both guns, and knocked down two villagers through the gap between the iron gate and railings. He then held the right pistol in his mouth, took out a grenade in his right hand and threw it behind the stone wall.
There was a loud "boom", and fireworks and flesh flew out from behind the stone wall, and screams continued.
Hearing the explosion, Chu Tiange frowned, took out a grenade captured from the Jaap, put the ring on his finger, and then rushed forward at a faster speed.
As the only soldier in the village, Nanfangren used an old sleeve brought back from the Northwest Army. He killed a bandit with the first shot, but this also attracted crazy revenge from the bandits. Wang San Mazi's grenade exploded just behind him. Wang San Mazi was indeed a soldier. He threw the grenade very skillfully, killing four villagers including him and injuring three others. He was afraid that the enemy would do it again. Throwing grenades, he hurriedly told everyone to lie down, and then crawled towards the iron gate. He decided to take the risk and deal with Wang Sanzi first. As the saying goes, "capture the thief first, capture the king first."
Wang Sanmazi used grenades to eliminate the opponent's firepower point, then stopped there on horseback, guarded the surroundings with his two guns, and asked his men to open the iron door.
The iron gate was locked with a chain. Several bandit soldiers on horseback rushed to the iron gate, jumped off their horses, drew out their blades and struck the iron chain with the back of their blades. At this time, Chu Tiange turned a corner and finally rushed to Litie. The door was less than a hundred meters away. When he saw the bandit soldiers smashing the door, he flipped his gun flat with his left hand and fired all the bullets.
Chu Tiange's marksmanship was average, but such intensive rapid fire still took care of all the bandit soldiers who smashed the door. Two of the bandit soldiers were killed and one was injured. Wang San Mazi and others behind found Chu Tiange and others, raised their guns and shot at them.
Chu Tiange shouted and fell down, rolled forward and rolled behind a tree, and shouted to Zhang Xiaoquan who was lying behind the wall: "Cover me." Before the gunfire stopped, he squatted down and leaned on the tree by the river. Jump forward,
"I didn't expect there would be serious trouble here." Wang Sanmazi was not flustered. Seeing that Chu Tiange cleverly used the big tree as a cover to rush here, he grabbed a 38-meter Gai from a bandit soldier. Ignoring Zhang Xiaoquan's shooting, he began to aim at Chu Tiange,
Zhang Xiaoquan was trapped behind the wall by the bullets of the bandit soldiers. He could only fire in bursts based on his feeling. Several rounds of bullets only hit a horse and failed to hurt a single bandit soldier.
Wang Sanmazi had concluded that only two of the other party had relatively formal firearms such as box cannons, so he aimed at Chu Tiange more confidently and decided to show off his marksmanship in front of his subordinates.
However, before Chu Tiange could escape from his side, Nanfang Ren, who climbed to the iron gate, took the opportunity. Zhang Xiaoquan and Chu Tiange attracted all the firepower of the bandits, and the bullets swished. After passing through the iron gate and going to the back, Nanfang Ren quietly stretched out the barrel of the gun and shot Wang Sanzi in the face.
Due to the extra sleeve on the barrel of the old sleeve, the gunshots emitted are a bit dull compared to other guns. The bullets used by Nanfang Ren are still round-headed bullets. The wounds caused by such bullets are often larger at such a close distance. , Wang San Mazi had no time to react before a big hole opened in his face,
The bandits who had guns were all shooting vigorously, while those without guns were waiting to see the master's heroic performance. However, they suddenly found a big hole in the master's head. They were all shocked into silence at first, and waited for the king. San Mazi's body fell off the horse and only then did he know what had happened. Suddenly someone screamed: "The boss is dead, the boss is dead."
When the shooter heard that the boss was dead, they all stopped shooting and gathered around his body. At this time, Chu Tiange was less than 50 meters away from them. Naturally, he would not let go of such a good opportunity. The grenade was the first Time passed, and then he stood in the middle of the road with a gun in each hand, and started shooting at the bandits in front of him.
The grenade exploded suddenly, killing six people and injuring more than ten people and horses. The bandits have not yet woken up from the shock of losing their backbone. If they suffer such a blow again, how can they dare to fight again? The horseman immediately turned his horse's head and ran away, while the horseless man rolled and crawled back. He was immediately defeated like a mountain.
