Anyone who knows the history of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident knows that the occurrence of the incident was closely related to Hideki Tojo, the commander of the Kwantung Army Military Police at the time. It can even be said that the old Japanese was the mastermind behind the plan.
In this time and space, Tojo Hideki appeared in Ouyang Yun's vision slightly later than before. He was supposed to go abroad to serve in the so-called "Puppet Manchukuo" in September 1935, but he arrived late due to various reasons. More than four months later, coincidentally, on his way to China, the Great Victory in Tianjin happened.
When I first read about the defeat of Tianjin in the newspaper, all the 108th Division commander Doihara and the cooks and grooms below were captured alive. Tojo Hideki thought he had seen it wrong, or that the newspaper had made it up. A piece of news to attract attention. He asked his men to grab this newspaper from the hands of an excited Chinese. At that time, it was just out of curiosity. Now he knows why the other person had such an expression. He frowned and took the newspaper. He read the news again, and then found the publisher. When he saw it read: Renqiu Daily, his brows furrowed even more tightly and his face became ugly. He was not familiar with the place Renqiu, and the reason why he is now I only have the impression because a Chinese named Ouyang Yun, whom I have been paying attention to, lives there. Shortly after Matsui Taitaro brought back the pistol with infrared aiming from Hong Kong, some senior Japanese military officials, including Tojo Hideki, began to Pay attention to the little person Ouyang Yun. Ouyang Yun may not be anything special. In their eyes, the so-called anti-Japanese heroes are nothing more than a mantis with a kind of loyalty. But that gun, when I think of that gun, Dong Tiao Yingji couldn't help but snorted loudly and cursed secretly: Those bastards at the ordnance factory have been tinkering with this for months. They almost dismantled the gun, but they couldn't find anything.
Regarding the origin of the gun, Tojo Hideki and others agreed after analysis and research that it should be an American military product. In order to understand the advanced technology contained in it, they increased their espionage efforts in the United States, but there has been no progress. , and at that time, with the end of the Second Battle of Wen'an, Ouyang Yun and the Xuebing Division began to appear as nails in the Kwantung Army's documents reporting to the Japanese base camp,
To Hideki Tojo, the rise of the Xuebing Army was legendary, like bamboo shoots in spring, but overnight, it stood like a mountain on the North China Plain. For Ouyang Yun, the Japanese army spent a lot of time After a lot of effort, he went to investigate and understand, and of course there were assassinations. However, it seemed that there was always something protecting Ouyang Yun, and every time he failed, he failed.
After the Bunan warriors ended, Tojo Hideki returned home after listening to the relevant war analysis. He wrote this paragraph in his diary that day: The only enemy of the empire in North China is the military.
Tojo Hideki came to China this time on a navy warship. After disembarking at Port Arthur, he took a car greeted by the Kwantung Army Headquarters and drove directly to the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Shenyang. After reading the article about "Tianjin After the news of "Great Victory", the old Japanese thought for a long time, then handed the newspaper to Onogawaji who was sitting next to him and said: "Ono, look at this."
Ono is about thirty years old, and his height reaches 1.75 meters, which is absolutely tall among Japanese people. After getting in the car, he looked respectful, with his back straight as high as the wallpaper, and his hands on his knees. Go up, look forward, see the newspaper handed over by the old devil, he nodded, took it and looked at it carefully, and later handed the newspaper back.
Taking the newspaper he handed over, the old devil glanced at him and saw that he still looked calm. He secretly admired him and felt that he was worthy of having studied in a German military academy. His calmness and calmness were quite the demeanor of a general. , asked: "What do you think of the battle in Tianjin?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, there is only one thing that makes me wonder. Are there really so many captured Imperial Army soldiers? Although Lieutenant General Doihara did espionage work before, as a general who is deeply admired by His Majesty the Emperor, I don't believe that he can even I don’t even have the courage to do so. There must be something fishy here. Although it’s my first time to come to China, I know a little about its military strength through various channels. I think that this time the 108th Division will definitely face more than just Zhang Zizhong. 38th Division.”
After listening to Ono's words, Tojo Hideki nodded appreciatively and said, "I think so too. What is certain is that Ouyang Yun and his Xuebingjun must have had a hand in it. Otherwise, in the future, In terms of the combat power of the 108th Division, not to mention the mere 38th Division, even if Song Zheyuan committed all the 29th Army, he might not be able to achieve such results. Ono, I don't say this because of how powerful the Xuebing Army is. , What I am taboo about are weapons that are the same as that pistol. The military quality of the Chinese soldiers may not be as good as our imperial soldiers, but in this era of hot weapons, as long as the weapons are good enough, I think it can make up for this, Xiaoye, that Ouyang Yun Have you ever heard of shooting down a plane with a rifle?"
"Commander, isn't that a rumor?"
Tojo Hideki shook his head and said: "No, I believe that is true." After a pause, he continued: "Our army's previous plan for a high degree of autonomy in North China seems to be unworkable. This student army must Those who must be eradicated resolutely, and if the Xuebing Army is not eradicated, it will be impossible for North China to become a new colony of the empire. Ono, have you ever heard of the Wolf Fang and the Big Sword?"
Ono shook his head. Although he was highly appreciated by Hideki Tojo, his military rank was too low, so he could not access some relatively confidential documents. Naturally, he did not know that there were two special units like this in the cadet army.
"Here, look at this photo." Tojo Hideki said, taking out a photo from his arms. This photo was actually taken from a newspaper, so it looked blurry, but even so, Ono Still, I quickly figured out: there was a person hiding among a lot of bushes. This person had a stick in front of him, which turned out to be a rifle.
The real author of this photo is Mei Lanshu, who took it when she visited the Wolf Fang training. After this photo was published, Ouyang Yun was very angry about it and ran away on suspicion of leaking military secrets. I went to the newspaper office and asked to stop selling the next day's newspapers, but because the newspapers had already been printed and distributed, not all of them could be recovered. This gave the Japanese spies the opportunity to obtain this photo and the big knife, Wolf Fang. secret,
