Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 305 The flames of war start, and the apprentices form an army (59)
Ouyang Yun attaches great importance to the power of the media. In today's underdeveloped communications, the media is the eyes of the public.Renqiu Daily, Renqiu Radio and Television Group, and some media from Nanjing, Beiping, Wuhan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and even Chongqing have journalists in the army.Now, when more than 38 devils headed by the fourth floor of Tomamidi were disarmed by the [-]th Division, these reporters were frantically taking pictures with their cameras, and some writers had already written their manuscripts, such as the most hearty and hearty one in more than two hundred years. Words like a victory abound in their minds.

Among the more than 38 Japanese captives, seven to eight thousand were seriously ill.But it was still a glorious victory. The officers and soldiers of the [-]th Division threw their guns and hats into the sky, cheering thunderously.When a group of senior officers headed by Zhang Zizhong walked into the battlefield, the soldiers went up to greet them one after another, reporting the news of victory to their most respected officer in their slightly hoarse voices: "Army, we have won!" "Army , We have captured thousands of little devils!"...Many people were crying, choked up and knelt on the ground, beside them were their relatives and closest comrades-in-arms.In order to win this battle and defend Tianjin, these unknown fighters have left everything they have on this land where they have lived, fought and fought.

In the direction of Tianjin in the distance, a large number of people are pouring over with generous condolences.The news of the victory has already spread into Tianjin City, and now, the whole Tianjin City is more lively than during the Chinese New Year—perhaps, some people are selfish and afraid of death, but no one wants to be a subjugated slave, no one wants to abandon their own home.

The two brigades that the Kwantung Army came to reinforce have now begun to retreat.Now that the 108th Division has been surrounded and wiped out, their reinforcements are meaningless.Do you want to start a full-scale war with the Chinese?Not only Nanjiro, the Kwantung Army, but even the Japanese government were not prepared for it.Of course, if the 38th Division fails to annihilate the 108th Division in one fell swoop, or, a big battle has already begun.

The battle that took place in Lizhuang, Tianjin, finally ended with the defeat of the 108th Division.Under the vigorous reports of the Chinese media, it is impossible for Nanjiro and the Kwantung Army to hide the news.The ridiculous thing is that one of the purposes of the Kwantung Army command center led by Nanjiro in launching such a war was to keep Nanjiro on the throne of the Kwantung Army commander, but now, Nanjiro has to bear the loss main responsibility.Just when the Renqiu Daily published the photos of Doihara and the fourth floor of Tomaidi on the front page, and marked his identity with the words "prisoner of war", Nanjiro was dismissed by the Japanese military.The old devil who was dismissed from office will return to China as a sinner, and what awaits him is a trial by a military court.And because of the impact of this incident, the "February 2 Incident" that should have occurred on February 26 broke out ahead of schedule in Japan's history to determine its fate in World War II.

Let us follow the marks of history to see what happened in Japan at this time——

In the 20s, life in Little Japan was not easy.Faced with the worldwide economic crisis at that time, Japan, an industrial country, was naturally not immune.But at this time, this small island country is still militaristic. As a result, military expenditures have increased year by year, and the total national budget has continued to increase year after year.With the outbreak of the "September 30th Incident", Japan's military expenditure accounted for 31% of the country's total fiscal expenditure.In 2, it surged to 1934%, and this year, it has increased to an astonishing 44%.This has led to a huge deficit in the Japanese government's budget.In order to make up for this and maintain the operation of the state machinery, the Japanese government had to frequently issue public bonds and print banknotes, which led to hyperinflation and the depreciation of the yen.The indirect social consequences brought about by it are: lower labor wages, lower rice prices, greatly reduced farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain, large areas of land deserted, small and medium-sized enterprises closed down one after another; .By the end of 47, Japanese farmers had an average debt of 7 yen. Every day, some people committed suicide by hanging from the beam, jumping into the river because of livelihood problems, and even desperate families committed suicide as a whole.

At this time, based on the stimulus of the so-called military supply boom, the industrial structure since the Meiji Restoration gradually shifted to the wartime system.The Japanese government promulgated the "Important Industry Control Law" to use state power to strengthen the control of the big chaebols over major industries.Under the protection of this policy, Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, Nissan, and Shendao grew one after another, forming huge monopoly capital.In order not to stagnate the expanded production, these big plutocrats, known as "death merchants", must induce a larger-scale war.In order to achieve this goal, they cooperate with the militant military and government-the war is never forgotten.

Here I have to mention a Japanese writer named Kita Ikki and his book "Japan's Transformation Plan".It's a bit ridiculous to say that this so-called writer who didn't graduate from middle school and relied on self-study, erudition, literary talent, and excellent eloquence, actually wrote this book in an apartment in Shanghai in August 1919.The purpose of Kita Ikki writing this book was because of the trend of socialism spreading all over the world at that time, lest Japan would repeat the mistakes of Russia and appear Lenin's regime or German socialism, so he went around lobbying and at the same time, using this book The book encourages Japanese soldiers and people with lofty ideals to carry out the so-called transformation of Japan.

At that time, due to the impact of the disarmament after World War I, many young soldiers in Japan were in a state of hesitation and depression. The appearance of Kita Ikki's book can be said to just open a window for them.For a while, the "Japanese Reform Plan" was regarded as the golden rule by these young soldiers, and Kita Ikki himself was not only revered by them as the godfather, but also favored by some right-wing groups.Among them, Okawa Shuaki, who is known as a right-wing theorist in Japan, even went to Shanghai to take him back to Kita Ikki, and pulled him into the right-wing innovative group "Yucunshe" he founded, making Japan's extreme right one of the most powerful. strong.

In the beginning, Okawa Shuaki and Kita Ikki were able to work together to instigate a violent revolution for the so-called "reform of Japan".However, as the young Japanese soldiers were divided into the "control faction" and the "imperial way faction", the two began to part ways because of their different positions.

The ruling faction emphasizes prudence, while the imperial way faction adopts radicalism.Among them, Lieutenant General Nagata Tetsuzan, then Chief of the Military Affairs Bureau of the Controlling faction, was headed, and the head of the Imperial Road faction was General Masaki Jinsaburo, Deputy Chief of Staff.In history, the planner of 108 was Bei Yihui, who was extremely active and revered as the patriarch by the Imperial Daoist School.The reason why the February [-] incident broke out in advance is naturally not unrelated to the defeat of the Tianjin [-]th Division.

Pulling your eyes back to reality, on January 1936, 1, when the army and civilians in Tianjin were celebrating their victory, Tokyo, led by Takaji Murakami, with officers and soldiers from the First and Third Wings of the First Division of the Japanese Army as the backbone. The power of the coup began to step onto the stage of history.The "18 Incident" that shocked the world happened.Except for the difference in time, the process of this incident is almost the same as in history-the two most critical points are, one: Prime Minister Keisuke Okada survived, and the army that caused the incident was finally identified as a rebel Second, the order to arrest Nanjiro and others proposed by the rebels failed to be implemented, and Kita Ikki was sentenced to death as the patriarch of the Kodo sect.As a direct result, the Japanese military officially stepped onto the stage of history, and the so-called Japanese government became a puppet.The indirect consequence is that because Nanjiro was not replaced by an officer of the imperial way faction, it led to the early outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War.

When there was a lot of trouble in Japan because of the military coup, there was also a lively scene in China. The victory of the 38th Division is tantamount to the rain after a long drought for the current China.The Chinese people face too much bad news every day. Under such circumstances, this news of victory is particularly important.Unlike the two victories fought by the Xuebing Army in Renqiu, this time, at the behest of Lao Jiang, the media in Nanjing also reported the battle.Lao Jiang even went to Tianjin in person to commend Zhang Zizhong and express condolences to the officers and soldiers of the 38th Division. He also intended to reorganize the 38th Division and Zhao Dengyu's 132nd Division into the 59th Army.This army, which was supposed to be formed at the end of August 1037, was born ahead of schedule because of the Tianjin War.Don't underestimate this incident. For the Xuebing army, no matter what the personal relationship between Ouyang Yun and Zhang Zizhong is, or what kind of friendship the two armies formed during the war against Japan, in this way, the two armies can be considered as one. The two tigers.As far as the Japanese government is concerned, the Nanjing government once again intervened in the affairs of North China, which is tantamount to a violation of the "Ho Mei Agreement"——

So far, the situation in North China has become unpredictable again.

As soon as the movement in Nanjing reached the ears of the high-ranking Xuebing Army, Li Tieshu, Guo Biao and others let alone mention it, even Zhang Zhen and Ji Xingwen couldn't sit still.This Tianjin Anti-Japanese War, on the surface, was a collision between the 108th Division of the Japanese Army and the 29th Division of the 38th Army. However, the Xuebing Army contributed a lot in it. The brigade was disabled.Not to mention other things such as intelligence and strategic materials, the artillery shells transported from the Xuebing Army alone are astronomical figures for the 38th Division's wealth.

As a result, the news that the 38th Division and the 132nd Division were to be merged to form the 59th Army came from Nanjing, and senior officials of the Xuebing Army went to Ouyang Yun's office at the Xuebing Army headquarters.
