Chapter 256 The Shanghai Incident

Longteng Company's plundering in Rehe did not cause any criticism. Since it was an occupation force, it would be abnormal not to do so. Although the Japanese did negotiate this behavior during negotiations, especially the issue of the ownership of those railways, the profits of the Beining Railway alone would be considerable in the year, not to mention that there are two of Ye Chi and Chengjin.

"When your team occupied these places, didn't it do the same?" Boss Yang said with a smile.

Hitaka Noburo was frustrated for a moment and said, "But the Chengjin and Yechi Railway are the assets of the Manchurian Railway. Since the peace between the two sides has been restored, they should naturally return these two railways to the Manchurian Railway."

"Okay, the Manchu Railway will first return all the benefits of the Beining Railway in recent years to our country, and add 50% of the compensation, and pay the fine for privately building these two railways without our permission. There is no need to give you ten tons of gold to make it a little bit. Although China and Japan are friendly neighbors with water, it is better to calculate the money clearly." Yang Feng said leisurely while drinking tea.

Hitaka Noburo's face turned a little blue when he was angry, but he could only helpless. He knew that there was no reason to talk to Yang Feng. Besides, there was no room for operation in this matter. Nowadays, whoever robs the person would belong to him. This is the rule of the game. He was just under pressure from Mandarin, so he had to negotiate this issue.

"Amistantor, we are all smart people. No one will spit out the meat we eat when we eat it. We will negotiate and protest against this trick that the weak can play. You should not take it out and make a joke. If you have the time, it is better to go back and think about how to snatch them back from me." Yang Feng said with contempt.

Just as he and the Japanese were negotiating on the armistice issue in Peking, good news came from the Soviet side, and Joseph agreed to his plan to retreat to the Anti-Japanese United Army. However, after the Anti-Japanese United Army retreated to Vladivostok, they had to hand over the weapons they were in their hands. This is understandable. It is unbelievable to have a foreign armed force equivalent to a group of troops openly traveling thousands of kilometers in their own country in any aspect.

In this matter, the Soviet cadres bought by Yang Feng played a huge role. Originally, Bruecher had submitted his response plan to Joseph. However, under the induced by countless close friends around him, and the detailed analysis report of Mecheris, whom he trusted most in the Far East, finally rejected Bruecher's plan.

In this way, Yang Feng's biggest problem was gone, and he soon reached an armistice agreement with the Japanese. Then the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces began to retreat to Vladivostok in batches, and then handed over weapons to the Soviets, and returned to China through Outer Mongolia as a refugee arrangement under the Soviet side.

Of course, the ceasefire does not mean peace. To put it bluntly, it is just to raise your strength and wait for the next round to continue fighting. Both sides did not relax their vigilance at all. On the southern front, the coalition forces built a series of reinforced concrete fortresses on the south bank of the Daling River, stretching from Jinzhou to Yixian.

The middle road is in Fuxin, and Xiaokulun stationed one division each. The northern line continues to improve the Kailu Fortress. At the same time, the two highways from Zhuan to Kailu, Chifeng to Kailu, and at the same time, the railway from Chengde to Chifeng was also started to be built. In addition, the remaining part of the Chengjin Railway was continued. The Japanese were preparing to build the entire Gubeikou. Yang Feng would continue to build the south and go to Peiping. This railway was invested by Longteng Company. Anyway, the old warlords had gained enough money this time, so they would not care about this investment at all.

As for the Japanese, they were doing a big job, digging ditches all over the west bank of the Liao River to Chenyang. Although Tani Shou was broken, it left a good legacy for Ryuki Kariya. During the entire battle, the only time the armored assault group was blocked was the anti-tank moor in Huludao, so now the Japanese army has learned this move.

Ryuki Katsurachi wanted to use anti-tank Hao to enclose all the cities on the outer defense line of Chenyang, including Panjin, Tai'an, Liaozhong, Xinmin, Liaoyang, and these cities on the outer defense line of Chenyang, and at least three circles. Finally, all the rivers outside Chenyang were connected by a manually excavated canal to form a circular water network of ten meters wide and two meters deep.

As for the previous linear defense lines, I won’t play with this one. Instead, I will replace them with small ring-shaped fortresses with anti-tank guns as the core. These fortresses are spread across major transportation routes from Jinzhou to Chenyang. In order to effectively deal with Yang Feng’s tanks, the Japanese army began to urgently develop 47mm war defense guns with larger caliber, as well as anti-tank grenades and explosive vests that are more suitable for the forward team.

"You can learn without a teacher? You actually learned to play in depth." Yang Feng was a little dumbfounded by Ryukari's transformation. He didn't expect to force this guy out of depth. Not only did he have a depth, but he even had a Dutch Fortress, which was also a talent.

"The next time will be less fun." Looking at the Japanese ring fortresses marked on the map based on intelligence, Wu Gang, the commander of the Second Armored Brigade, said with a frown.

After the end of this battle, at the unanimous request from the inside, Yang Feng also carried out a large-scale reorganization. Although the name of the Pingjin Security Division was still used to the outside, there were too many brigades below. One mountain brigade and two mechanized infantry brigades. These two brigades have also begun to be equipped with a heavier Tiger tank produced in Peking, and there are also simple versions of armored vehicles, which are actually armored conveyor vehicles. The tractor factory itself used the power system of the Tiger tank. It added a larger bulletproof shell outside and a half-open turret to install a large caliber machine gun on it. One car can be equipped with a squad of infantry.

Then the armored assault group was divided into two, and then a part of the tiger tanks was combined into two armored brigades. It turned out that the peacekeeping troops stationed in eastern Hebei were no longer suitable to call this name. Moreover, under Lao Lin, this group of people have been trained according to the standards he had when he led the special forces brigade. In addition, due to the resident relationship, they usually operate in the water network area, so they simply changed to amphibious combat brigades.

In addition, based on the original special brigade, a formal airborne brigade was officially formed, and a division could create seven brigades, which was also shameless.

"There is a use for me. This kind of circular defense is indeed not easy to deal with, but the question is where they were built. As the invaders, they circled themselves with the invaders full of hatred. I really don't know what Rakura Rakuten thought? One day I wanted to attack the army and surrounded them, and then threw tens of thousands of black gunpowder grenades directly into their defense line. I guess they would be done without us doing it." Boss Yang said with a traitorous smile.

Just as he and his men were discussing the new tactical works of Ryukari Takashi, a gunshot suddenly came from a Japanese restaurant near Hongkou Park in Shanghai. Then, under the astonished gaze of pedestrians outside, two young men wearing Chinese standing collars rushed out from the inside, and then rode on the two bicycles outside the door to disappear quickly into the crowd. Before leaving, one of the people took out a piece of paper from his arms and threw it on the ground. Then a middle-aged Japanese man in a kimono stumbled out with his stomach covering his stomach, shouting in Japanese: "Help, kill people! The Chinese have killed people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of Japanese police officers emerged from somewhere. Instead of sending the guy to the hospital immediately, they hurriedly asked the whereabouts of the murderer. The Japanese spoke a few words intermittently in a weak voice, and finally fainted with satisfaction.

That night, the Japanese Consul General in Shanghai urgently visited Shanghai Mayor Yu Hongjun, claiming that Shanghai Japanese expatriate Ichiro Ono was shot by two Chinese in a restaurant he opened. He was unfortunately killed an hour ago. The murderer left a leaflet with the words "Anti-Japanese and Killing Enemies in the restaurant, and then fled into the Chinese community. He asked the Shanghai Municipal Government to hand over the murderer within 24 hours. At the same time, it banned all unfriendly groups in Shanghai and ensured that such things would not happen again. Otherwise, the Japanese government would increase its troops in Shanghai to protect the safety of the Japanese expatriates by force.

"Everyone, please do your best. Please find out who did this? Now that the Japanese are aggressive, I don't think you want Shanghai to become a battlefield again, right?" Yu Hongjun, who looked depressed, bowed to the group of Shanghai Beach bosses who were invited and said.

"What else can be found? The thing happened in Hongkou. The Japanese did not protect their own people, and they would not be able to rely on us at all?" Yu Maoren said with a funny look. His current identity in Shanghai is on par with those of Du Yuesheng and others. Considering the terrifying god behind him, even these people have to be shorter in front of him.

"Boss Yu, but the problem is this thing." Yu Hongjun helplessly handed him a roughly printed flyer.

"What's the point of this thing? Anyone can use a mimeographer to print thousands of pictures by themselves." Yu Maoren said disdainfully.

"Brother Yu's words make sense, and no one has ever heard of this Yanhuang Anti-Japanese Group. Even if the Japanese make it up by themselves, it is not impossible. It seems that they are trying to find fault in this way." Du Yuesheng next to him looked at the flyer and said.

Yu Hongjun thought to himself, do you think I don’t know? But now the superiors are urging me to quickly find out and block the Japanese back. What can I do? How could I find such two people in Shanghai 24 hours? Besides, if they go to the concession, where will I check?

"Do you think this matter was directed and acted by them?" Yu Maoren suddenly said.

"It's possible, didn't they do that last time?" Du Yuesheng immediately said with great emotion.

The two of them guessed this correctly, because at this time the two so-called Chinese anti-Japanese elements and the dead Ichiro Ono were sitting together on a Japanese warship on the Huangpu River drinking!

"Mr. Ono, nothing is wrong?" One of the anti-Japanese elements asked Ono with concern.

"Kun Nakajima, your skills are so superb. The bullet did not hurt any internal organs. It just made a bullet hole on both sides." Ono said with a thumbs up.

"Nakashima Jun is also a top student at the School of Medicine of Tohoku Imperial University. This is a sure thing." Kawashima's sister who had not shown up for a long time said with a smile, then she turned her eyes to the commander of the Third Fleet next to her, Koshiro Oikawa, and said: "General, it's up to you next."

Lieutenant General Oikawa stood up with her waist and walked to the window together. Sister Kawashima, dressed in men's clothing, looked like a pair of glasses. Then he saw Oikawa holding up the wine glass in his hand with an intoxicated expression and said in a wet tone: "Please see the gift I give you below."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw a flash of fire below the head of the third fleet flagship Changpan, which was also anchored on the banks of the Huangpu River, and then an explosion that was not much stronger than a grenade.

Just like seeing fireworks, Kawashima sister couldn't wait to cheer.

While she was cheering, Yu Hongjun, who was talking to the same group of bigwigs, was so scared that he stood up suddenly by the sudden explosion.

"Where cannons be set?" He asked the secretary who rushed in with a hurried look forward to it.

"Mayor. The flagship of the Japanese Third Fleet, Changpan, on the Huangpu River, exploded. I don't know the specific situation yet." The secretary's words completely shattered his fantasy.

Within an hour, the Japanese Consul General in Shanghai and the commander of the Third Fleet, Oikawa Fushiro came to the door in a fierce manner.

"Mayor, my flagship was attacked by anti-Japanese elements in your country, causing casualties to more than a dozen soldiers. This is the evidence they left at the scene!" Oikawa Fushiro put a strip of cloth with a murderous look on his face, saying that the anti-Japanese and killing enemies was killed in front of Yu Hongjun.

Just as Yu Hongjun wiped his head, he continued: "Mayor, you can hand over the murderer within 24 hours and compensate us for the losses. We will publicly guarantee that similar incidents will not occur again. Otherwise, we will not rule out retaliation, including shelling Shanghai."

"General Oikawa, just a strip of cloth can prove that it was done by us Chinese. You are a bit ridiculous, right? Besides, the explosion just now, it's not so nice that even my car can't be blown up. Your armored cruiser with a total of more than 10,000 tons was killed or injured. Don't you think it's a bit incredible?" Yu Maoren came over and said with a smile.

"Mayor Yu, I am conducting an official negotiation with you. Is this gentleman who holds any position in your government and has the right to speak on your behalf?" Oikawa Fushiro didn't even look at Yu Maoren, but said to Yu Hongjun with a arrogant look on his face.

"General Oikawa, your conclusion is too arbitrary. Just a strip of cloth can't prove anything. I suggest that it is best to form a joint investigation team with the naval departments of the two countries, and the US, UK, and France in Shanghai, to conduct a comprehensive investigation team to investigate the explosion of the Takaba. If it is concluded that it is indeed the work of our people, then I think the National Government will give your country an explanation. I am just an administrative official in Shanghai, and you are a Japanese naval official. We do not have the right to negotiate on this matter alone." Yu Hongjun has now made a stubborn decision. How could Oikawa Fushiro be more capable of playing with a top student at St. John's University?

"Sorry, Mayor. This incident has aroused great indignation among our officers and soldiers. Now the army is in high spirits. If you delay too long, it will cause greater consequences. So I am an ultimatum to you. If you can't give me a definite answer in twenty-four hours, I cannot guarantee whether the angry soldiers will do something regrettable." Oikawa Fushiro said with a sneer. After saying that, he was not even polite to Yu Hongjun, and left proudly with the Japanese Consul General in Shanghai.

"Ma, these little Japanese are bullying too much!" Yu Hongjun, who has always been gentle, was so angry that he slapped the table directly. Now the matter is very clear. The Japanese are deliberately provoking trouble to give them an excuse to start a war. This is no longer something he can handle.

Yu Hongjun was not a fool either. He quickly reported to Nanjing while ordering his two security regiments to deploy defenses near Hongkou to prevent the Japanese army from raiding Shanghai.

"Boss Yu, you have to help this time." He said to Maoren very directly. The total strength of the Japanese Marine Corps in Shanghai is one more unit, and the two security groups in his hands will definitely not work if they fight.

Now the Chinese team closest to Shanghai is outside the city. If you cannot arrive for reinforcements in a short period of time, you must rely on the Jinyuan Security Team, which is the elite of Yang Feng's reinforcement battalion.

"In a word, I have no need to ask Mr. Yang for helping the Japanese." Yu Maoren said generously, of course, no matter how he ran back and called Yang Feng's long-distance phone number directly.

What happened in Shanghai confused Yang Feng. He really couldn't understand the behavior of the Japanese now. The north had just ceased to fight against the bald man immediately. So why did they do this in the first place and ruin the elite of the three multiple divisions in vain?

He didn't know that the Japanese were actually preparing to fight the bald man at the beginning, but in order to avoid joining in the fun when he went to war with the bald man, Japan wanted to teach this guy a hard lesson with his own considerable strength. Not to mention destroying him, but at least he had to force him to stay in Peking and quickly clean up Tang Juwu, so that he could scare Joseph so that he would not take advantage of the situation to rob him.

Who knew that not only did not teach the lesson, but Yang Feng was torn off a piece of meat from them. Fortunately, it also tentatively proved that Yang Feng was not very enterprising, especially Yang Feng took the initiative to let the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces retreat, which made them feel that their goal in deterrence had been achieved. Besides, the Japanese army in Northeast China is now full of heavy troops. Even if Yang Feng wanted to, he would definitely not be able to help the bald man.

In addition, the number of armored divisions and air force thunder fighters of the bald man is increasing, and it will be more difficult to fight if it is dragged on. Moreover, the development of Shanghai's industry in recent years has posed a huge threat to the Japanese economy. After the issuance of fiat currency, Nanjing is increasingly moving towards the United States. Adding up various factors, the Japanese finally can't wait.
