Wei Peng and the others also reacted extremely quickly, and immediately began to act after receiving Mo Xingguo's summons. Compared with the battle in the port, the battle in the city is both simple and complicated, simple because the defenders in the city are almost all second-line garrison troops, and the combat effectiveness is pitifully low in peacetime, not to mention at this time, there are only four or five patrols patrolling the streets, and each patrol team is only three or four people, which is far worse than the usual dozen or so people. However, the defenders at the city gate are more cautious than the defenders in other places, but there are also many people who have drunk a lot of wine, although the wine these people drink is not all adulterated, but the phrase drinking and mistaking things will never be outdated, those people are fine when they drink, but the attention of the people who drink is not able to concentrate at all, and more than 50 defenders at the east gate were all solved by the special combat team members in the city with knives in less than ten minutes from beginning to end.

After the city gate was opened, more than 1,000 special combat personnel quickly rushed to their respective targets, and the special combat personnel reacted quickly and had a clear goal, and more than 1,000 people acted together without the slightest panic. Garrison headquarters, barracks, concentration camps, arsenals, oil depots, and grain depots all have a special combat team rushing to attack, and there are also special patrols to clear the streets.

At 12:45, with a red signal bomb lifted into the air, announcing that the entire Weifang county has changed hands, although the Japanese army is not heavily guarded, but it can also be regarded as a well-defended Weifang county has been solved by less than a kilogram of "100 days drunk", a common drug on the rivers and lakes. A total of 1,467 defenders, including the more than 600 marines on the pier outside the city, were all annihilated, except for Prince Fushiminomiya whose identities were exposed, and Osawa Shaosa, commander of the Weifang Garrison Command, who were not immediately executed, all the rest were corrected on the spot without any escape.

After dealing with the Japanese puppet army in the city, Wei Peng, with the help of the local underground party, began to transfer the Allied expatriates and the Chinese imprisoned in the Weifang Ledaoyuan concentration camp, while the underground party in the city organized the people to start looting the Japanese puppet warehouses and the company.

Despite the large number of people, the transfer of hostages and the movement of supplies lasted an hour and a half. At 2:35 a.m. on the 13th, as 10 gunboats opened the way in front, in the middle were 25 large transport ships converted from steamers, in which 2,128 Allied expatriates and Chinese were detained, and in the back were more than 40 large cargo ships loaded with a large number of wooden boxes.

At 4 o'clock sharp, the flotilla joined the two cruisers at the mouth of the Wei River, and then the whole fleet headed north, towards the port of Tianjin. The Beiping Military Sub-district had entered a state of first-class combat readiness as early as the day before, and all the coastal defense units in the port of Tianjin were immediately put into battle, and even the heavy artillery that had been placed in the warehouse was all pushed out, and the only dozens of planes of the Inner Mongolia Military Region were all transferred to the Beiping airfield, ready to support Tianjin at any time.

When Okamura Ninji learned of the accident in Weifang, it was already more than one o'clock in the afternoon of the 13th, and when Wei Peng and the others retreated, they did not leave like that, but left a small detachment dressed as Japanese soldiers to continue to maintain order in the city. Last night, before the evacuation, the large army did a simple disposal of all the corpses of the Japanese puppet army, and the large warehouses that originally contained food and weapons were all piled up with the corpses of the Japanese puppet army, so the Japanese fleet did not find anything abnormal after several trips in the morning.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the small detachment that remained behind estimated that the large force had safely arrived at the port of Tianjin and quickly withdrew, and it was only then that the Japanese North China Front realized that something was wrong. The matter was reported one by one, and when it was reported to Okamura Ninji's desk, it was already 1:50 pm on the 13th, and it was about to be 14 o'clock. At this time, the fleet of Wei Peng and others had already anchored and disembarked at the port of Tianjin, and the entire army was organizing the landing of Allied expatriates.

Compared with the small county town of Weifang, the disappearance of Prince Fushimi Palace is what worries Okamura Ninji the most, you must know that this Prince Fushimi Palace is very different from ordinary royal family members. The prince's full name was Fushimi Miya, a Japanese field marshal and admiral. In the Pacific War, he served as the chief of the Japanese Military Command Department, became a naval admiral in 1922, entered the Marshal's Office in 1932, and succeeded the treaty faction Taniguchi Naoma as the chief of naval orders the following year. …,

Prince Fushiminomiya came to China half a year ago, and he came to China to carry out a secret operation for the Japanese imperial family. Due to the extreme secrecy of this operation, no one except Prince Fushimi Palace and several top commanders of the Chinese Dispatch Army Command knew about it, including Okamura Ninji. Even His Royal Highness's Guards were personally selected by him from among his most trusted Marines.

After learning that His Royal Highness's guards were wiped out and no one survived, and the news of His Royal Highness's disappearance, Okamura Ninji's first feeling was that the sky had fallen, and Okamura Ninji, who had always been honored and disgraced, was really anxious this time. Although His Royal Highness the Prince is 67 years old this year, no one in the entire Japanese military circles dares to underestimate His Royal Highness.

This is not just because he is His Royal Highness, but because of His Royal Highness's personal charm and superhuman abilities. Prince Fushiminomiya was an elite who returned from studying in Germany, participated in the Russo-Japanese War and the Sino-Japanese War and served as a naval commander at the time, and became a naval admiral at the age of 47 in 1922. In 1932, he entered the Marshal's Mansion and became the first marshal father and son of the Japanese army (the second pair was Terauchi Masatake/Terauchi Shouichi father and son). During his tenure, he tore up the London Naval Treaty, forced the Minister of the Navy, Otkaku Zensheng, to transfer operational command from the Ministry of the Navy to the Military Command Department, dismissed a large number of naval generals from the treaty faction, promoted Japanese and German naval cooperation, and forced the Navy to agree to war against the United States. Not to mention how His Royal Highness the Prince is, let's just say that his protégés and former officials all over the military circles are an awe-inspiring force, and if he learns that this is an accident for His Royal Highness in North China, then he, the commander of the North China Front, will also be able to do it.

On the one hand, Okamura Ninji sent a report to the Chinese military headquarters and the base camp to report the incident, and on the other hand, he hastened to take remedial measures. The most important thing now is to determine the whereabouts of His Royal Highness, as a high-ranking commander, Okamura Ninji knows how sensitive the identity of a high-ranking officer and member of the imperial family like Fushimi Palace is. The best-case scenario is not that His Royal Highness is still alive, but that he and his guards have been killed by the Shina people. Because a dead prince can only carve one more name on the wall of the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, but a prince, marshal, and general who has been captured by the enemy is a slap in the face of the empire, and his personal life and death gains and losses are small, and the honor and disgrace of the empire are the most important.

"Yamaguchi, where is Yamaguchi, let her come to me immediately!" Okamura Ninji's angry roar came from the office, and at this time, Okamura Ninji was the first person to think of was the head of the intelligence agency, Umeko Yamaguchi.

The guards hadn't seen Okamura Ninji angry for a long time, and replied nervously: "Report to Your Excellency the Commander's Pavilion, Your Excellency Yamaguchi Pavilion is now encircling and suppressing the Zhichina Special Combat Team in the Luxi area, do you want to send a report to her to come back?" ”

"Yaga, then let that bastard Yanagi come to see me, quickly, or else you will die!" Okamura continued to growl.

"Hay! Hail! ”

Soon Yanagi Jiro's voice sounded outside the door: "Report, Yanagi Jiro reports to you!" ”

"Come in, come in!" Okamura Ninji yelled anxiously.

Without waiting for Yanagi Jiro to speak, Okamura Ninji threw the telegram from the troops below on Yanagi Jiro's face, and at the same time said in an extremely stern tone: "Yanagi, this time His Royal Highness the Prince has an accident, and your intelligence agency must bear unshirkable responsibility. His Royal Highness the Prince came to Shandong, and when he came to Weifang, the commander of the front army, I didn't know any news, why is this, is it the dereliction of duty of your intelligence department or other reasons, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer, then you should go to seppuku to thank His Majesty the Emperor! ”

"Hai, report to Your Excellency Commander, it's not that our intelligence department is derelict in its duties, in fact, since His Royal Highness the Prince arrived at the Shandong boundary half a month ago, our special high-tech department has already found out, and is preparing to report to the headquarters. However, His Royal Highness the Prince has an order from the highest intelligence organ of the Empire, and asks us to keep it secret for him, otherwise military law will be involved, so he will suppress the news from his humble position, and ask His Excellency the Commander to punish him. Yagyu Jiro said loudly. …,

"Baga, how can such an important matter be handled so hastily, you are too bold to work. But you have to tell me, why did His Royal Highness the Prince go to that bullshit place in Weifang, and still allow that fool of Daze to hold a dust-washing banquet for him in such a high-profile manner, didn't he want to keep a low profile and keep it secret? Okamura continued to ask.

"This and this"

"You, if you have something to say, say it quickly, when are you still spitting, say it quickly!" Okamura Ninji saw that Yanagi Jiro seemed to have something unspeakable, but as he said, the main lord had already crossed the river and was not protected, so he had a lot of scruples.

"Hai, as far as I know, His Excellency the Prince went to a bronze treasure from Osawa Shaosa, a piece that Osawa Shaosa snatched from a landlord in China last year, no, it should be a complete set of bronzes from the Warring States period of China, this group of bronzes is extremely valuable, the market price should be about fifteen million oceans, and in fact, it is priceless. Originally, this matter was very secret, but somehow it was learned by His Royal Highness the Prince, so he went to Weifang. "This is not a glorious thing in the first place, and it is dishonoring to say it. After all, it was already shameful enough for the Imperial Japanese Army to rob the landlords of China, and if the imperial prince forcibly robbed the treasures of his subordinates, the face of the entire Japanese country would be lost to Java.

"Baga, you should immediately send all the intelligence personnel to work, and find the traces of His Royal Highness the Prince at all costs, quickly!" Okamura Ninji said angrily.

"Hay, Your Excellency, what should we do if we find out the whereabouts of His Royal Highness?" Yagyu Jiro asked again.

"Baga, then you have to find it, hurry up!" Okamura Ninji roared again.

"Hai, let's go!"

Yanagi Jiro quickly retreated, but Yanagi Jiro, who had his head down, didn't notice Okamura Ninji's tangled face. Just like the question Yagyu Jiro just asked, what should I do if I find His Royal Highness the Prince, yes, what should I do, even if I find His Royal Highness the Prince at this time, there are no more than two situations, the first situation is of course that His Royal Highness the Prince has been executed by the people of China, and all they found is a corpse or something like broken bones, this situation is the most ideal now, and it is also what Okamura Ninji wants to see the most. When the time comes, with Yanagi Jiro's testimony just now, he can be sure that he will not be worry-free, and no matter how unreasonable the base camp is, he will not let an army general who is not guilty of being martyred by His Royal Highness the Prince.

The second situation is much more terrifying, and the second situation is that His Royal Highness is still alive, but he has become a prisoner of the Chinese people. This situation is the worst, and it is the last thing that Okamura Ninji wants to see right now, but the probability of this happening is the highest. After all, almost none of the defenders in the city escaped the net, but only His Royal Highness the Prince and the fool Ozawa Shaoza were missing, and at the age of nearly 70 years old, His Royal Highness the Prince could not escape under the sudden blow of the Shina people.

What should the North China Front do if something really happened, and what should he Okamura Ninji do, this question Okamura Ninji can't answer now, just like he couldn't answer Yanagi Jiro just now.

Soon, Yanagi Jiro gathered a lot of information, and the first thing that could be determined was that it was none other than Han Yunhua of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, their old enemy, who attacked Weifang City. Moreover, the main motive for the sneak attack on Weifang by the people of China this time was not to know that His Royal Highness the Prince was in Weifang, but to rescue the 2,000 or so expatriates of the allied countries.

Secondly, last night there were a large number of ships through the Wei River into the sea, including a large number of gunboats and merchant ships, the special high-tech has basically judged that the Chinese troops immediately transported to the major coastal ports by merchant ships after rescuing the hostages, and among all the ports, only the port of Tianjin will have such a large berth for so many merchant ships to berth at the same time, and there are so many gunboats, so the special high-tech judgment that His Royal Highness is likely to be on the fleet leading to Tianjin now, or has now entered the city of Tianjin. …,

Okamura Ninji basically agreed with Yanagi Jiro's judgment, and now he can only believe that His Royal Highness the Prince is in Tianjin or is rushing to Tianjin. However, after reading the information gathered from all sides, Okamura Ninji also came to a similar result as Yagyu Jiro.

With a general goal, Okamura Ninji burst out with the demeanor of a famous general, and he quickly ordered the naval fleet of the North China Front stationed in Qingdao to pursue along the direction of Tianjin, and all merchant ships along the way, especially the flotilla of ships, regardless of the flag hoisted, must be inspected by the Imperial Japanese Navy, otherwise they will all be sunk. In addition, a large number of bombers and reconnaissance planes were also sent to the port of Tianjin to reconnoiter and bomb, and at the same time, the army units should also be prepared to go north at any time.

It is understandable that Okamura Ninji dispatched aircraft and warships to pursue Han Yunhua, after all, it has lost so many overseas Chinese from allied countries, and it can be regarded as a complete international heel for Japan this time. But to Han Yunhua's disbelief, almost all the land forces of the Japanese North China Front stationed in Lubei also moved, and even the chariot division that originally attacked Lunan was quickly transferred back, putting on a posture of not giving up.

Han Yunhua is really puzzled, is it necessary, isn't it just more than 2,000 nationals of the Democratic League, and there are still a large number of allied nationals and Jews in Shanghai, although this time the Japanese are a big heel, but it is only a little damage to the face, and the actual loss is only 2,000 prisoners of war who are not considered prisoners of war, and it does not play a decisive role in the overall situation, so Han Yunhua did not think that Okamura Ningji would start a full-scale war with the Inner Mongolia Military Region for the more than 2,000 Allied expatriates from the beginning, because both Okamura Ningji and the actual helmsman of the Japanese army base camp know that if the Japanese army dares to stick out its head and confront the Inner Mongolia Military Region at this time, then the final outcome will be that Han Yunhua's troops will have a blue nose and swollen face.

But now the posture of the North China Front Army is obviously not to scare and scare people, Han Yunhua's first thought is whether Wei Peng and others have done something that Okamura Ningji can't accept, of course, at the beginning, Han Yunhua thought of whether Wei Peng and others once again separated the corpses and heads of Japanese soldiers and put them in a pattern, or they were simply making a small Jingguan, and then Okamura Ningji was not dying, pestering.

However, the news that Wei Peng and others came back from Tianjin surprised Han Yunhua, and in addition to successfully rescuing all the allied expatriates and imprisoned Chinese, Wei Peng and others also hijacked more than 40 Japanese ships, and also brought back a Japanese prince and a major officer.

After learning that the name of the captured Japanese prince was actually Fushimi Palace Hiroko, Han Yunhua was immediately stunned, others did not know what this old guy was doing, how could he not know that this war madman war criminal with Chinese blood on his hands was full of evil, but the final outcome was indignant. Historically, after Japan's defeat in World War II, Fushimi Palace, as the chief of the Naval Command Department during the full-scale war of aggression against China, should have been tried as a Class A war criminal. But because he was a royal family and did not provoke the United States, he was not held accountable for war crimes. Just as the United States did not hold the first commander-in-chief of the invasion of China Dispatch Commander Nishio Shouzo and the head of Unit 731 Shiro Ishii accountable, they also did not hold Fushimi Palace accountable, *** Lao Wang Ba finally died of illness in 1946. And there is no such high-level Japanese prince captured in history, the highest-level imperial family is just Emperor Hirohito's cousin Akamoto, Han Yunhua secretly said that his appearance has really changed a lot in history, and even Fushimi Palace, the old bastard, has become his own captive, which feels - really good.
