After Yamashita Fengwen made the call, he felt that it was not safe, so he simply came directly to the garrison headquarters and wanted to discuss emergency measures with the commander in person. Unexpectedly, when I entered the door, His Excellency Commander Wanichiro Tashiro was now skewed at the corners of his mouth and foaming at the mouth!

Stroke!

I was fine when I called, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the commander of the command, His Excellency Lieutenant General Wanichiro Tashiro, suddenly suffered a stroke!

Yamashita Fengwen hurriedly called the doctor, but unfortunately it was too late!

Waiting for the military doctor to rush over, and then launched the rescue on the spot, two hours later, the military doctor could only say gloomily: "Your Excellency Major General Yamashita: Your Excellency Lieutenant General Tashiro suddenly suffered a heart attack and died in the line of duty!" ”

They were busy here, and in the blink of an eye it was getting dark.

The armored convoy did not know what had happened after they had gone, but made its way north to cross the town of Eagle Eagle before dawn. Only in this way can you enter the territory of Akagi before everyone reacts.

One of the little devils' tank brigade disappeared, and it was only at seven o'clock in the morning on July 16, 1937 that it was discovered.

The supreme commander of the garrison army suddenly "died in the line of duty", that is to say, within a week, the North China garrison army successively had a lieutenant general, a major general, a large leader, and a lieutenant commander (it has been ascertained that the captain and four squadron leaders of the tank brigade were beheaded) "died in the line of duty", and this does not include the equipment of the entire tank brigade disappeared!

In the blink of an eye, Yamashita became the supreme commander here. He didn't have any sense of how to deal with the mess in front of him, so a telegram was sent to the Minister of War on Monkey Island in the Pacific!

Although the commander died suddenly, Yamashita felt that he should still do something, so he led a group of men to the place of the incident.

All the barracks were left in ruins after the fire. In the original squad leader and squadron leader room, the skull that had not been burned was found.

In the rooms of the other soldiers, they also saw very neat skeletons, and some of the carrion on the bones had not been completely burned, so the stench was terrible.

Seeing this tragic scene in front of him, Yamashita Fengwen felt a cool air rising from his back, as if a gust of wind came through his bones: "Xuandao-kun, what do you think of this scene?" ”

The commander of the Second Infantry Wing, Xuan Dao, broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, please forgive me for being blunt, judging from the scene, there are quite a few in the entire tank brigade, and all of them were killed without resistance. So many soldiers were killed in their sleep. ”

"The captain of the group, Fukuda Mineo Shaoza, was killed in the war room and was brutally beheaded by the enemy. Several squadron leaders were also killed without resistance while they appeared to be drinking. Therefore, he believes that the murderer set fire to the scene in order to cover up a certain fact. ”

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, I think this matter needs to be investigated in depth!" Taikuro Matsui, the head of the Beiping secret service, took off his white gloves and threw them away, while wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead and said: "The sentry was killed at his own sentry post, and more than 700 people were killed in a dream, and it didn't cause the slightest movement, this is terrifying!" ”

Yamashita Fengwen frowned: "What does Matsui-kun mean by that?" ”

After all, Matsui Kutaro is also a fifty-year-old guy, and he was busy just now, and he was a little out of breath at first: "There was no trace left at the scene, but so many people were brutally killed, and my humble intuition told me that things are not simple." ”

Yamashita was most concerned about where the equipment of the entire chariot brigade went, so he asked a little impatiently: "Now please tell me Matsui-kun that a complete chariot brigade equipment cannot be hidden casually. Where is it? I thought, as long as you find the equipment, are you afraid that you won't be able to find the truth? ”

Matsui Taikuro bowed down and said, "The entire secret service is in action, there should be some clues." ”

In July and August in Beiping, it is actually quite hot. Although it was rainy during this time, the people were so hot during the day that they were a little cooler, so they naturally had to sleep well.

When Yamashita Fengwen led people to investigate the "tragedy" of the chariot brigade, and the Beiping secret service launched a comprehensive search for clues, not a single insider could be found.

Of course, there is no paper that can hold the fire. A large convoy of 24 armored vehicles and 12 trucks is impossible to say that absolutely no one sees it.

For example, in Wanping City, someone saw a complete chariot brigade marching away. But people just don't say it, what can you do?

He Jifeng, commander of the 110th Brigade of the 37th Division of the 29th Army, Ji Xingwen, commander of the 219th Regiment, and Jin Zhenzhong, commander of the 3rd Battalion, did not sleep in the second half of the night, and issued a gag order layer by layer:

"Recently, there has been a lot of peace in all directions, and last night it rained heavily, and everyone in the barracks is sleeping. The sentinels left the sentry to hide from the rain and are now in confinement! All in all, in short, I heard thunder yesterday, and I don't know anything else. ”

In fact, the commander of the 37th Division, Feng Zhi'an, had received He Jifeng's report, but now is the time of stormy weather, and more things are better than less. And the army commander Song Zheyuan's attitude is unclear, so let's rot some things in my stomach.

It is precisely because of this that when the little devil followed the car print to find the Yongding River, he specially sent someone to inquire, and all of Jin Zhenzhong's subordinates turned into shaking their heads - they didn't know anything about it.

Someone asked, so follow the tire print and continue to look for it?

How do you find it? Are Bai Shujie's soldiers fools? When I was by the Yongding River, it was a kind of "mighty army" of the Imperial Japanese Army, so it showed a posture of "arrogant" and "bright and bright", so the tire prints were retained!

After the convoy passed through Beiping City, you want to find the tire prints again, to hell!

Recently, the light rain has been pouring non-stop, and the road is full of mud, even if there was a trace of it, it has long been gone, not to mention that the team doesn't know how many bends it has detoured!

Besides, a reconnaissance company consisted of more than 200 war horses, and after sending the convoy out of the country, it was idle to do anything, and it walked back and forth on the roads in all directions nearby, causing all the roads around Beiping to become muddy ponds.

On the one hand, we have to destroy the traces of miè, and on the other hand, we have to see if there are any little devils chasing after them. If it weren't for the fear that Jin Zhenzhong, the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 29th Army, would have misunderstood, this reconnaissance company would have rushed to the vicinity of Wanping City and wandered around twice.

The equipment of a brigade of tanks is 100% gone!

Yamashita Fengwen was forced to be helpless, and even forced the flight squadron to be in danger of being struck by lightning, so he took off four sorties in the rain and reconnoitred the entire area around Beiping, but the result was still that there was no trace.

After Bai Shujie received a telegram from Zou Baoyin of the Chicheng Garrison Regiment, he immediately ordered the convoy to rest during the day and set off at night, rush to Guyuan County to rest for a day, and then return to Chengde through Duolun overnight.

Press how Bai Shujie will deal with the equipment of this loading brigade, and don't mention it for the time being.

It is said that after Zhao Dengyu, the commander of the 132nd Division of the Nanyuan Defenders, got the news, he began to calculate some possibilities in his heart. After all, Nanyuan is only more than ten kilometers away from Fengtai, and it is impossible for him not to know that there is such a big movement in the early morning.

Although the Japanese kept the news tightly closed and did not find out what was going on for a while, the scouts of Division Commander Zhao Dengyu did not eat dry food. After some overt and covert visits, I also heard some rumors more or less.

The people who came out of the town all said that in the second half of last night, it was called a lively! The entire barracks of the Japanese were in flames, and the sound of gunfire was like fried beans!

The only regret is that I didn't know who did it.

Division Commander Zhao Dengyu was also very confused: "Beiping can now be said to be rumored and everyone is in danger. Who has such a great ability to directly enter the little devil's barracks and make trouble in the Heavenly Palace? ”

However, it didn't take long for Master Zhao Dengyu to start a certain speculation in his mind!

Because there has always been a hot fight between his cousin Zhao Dengshun and Wei Chong, many of Wei Chong's actions have passed through Zhao Dengshun's defense area.

This time, there was such a sudden movement, and it made the little devil and everyone scratch their heads, Zhao Dengyu immediately thought of Wei Chong in Raoyang. Thinking of Wei Chong, Zhao Dengyu naturally thought of Bai Shujie of Rehe.

However, since Bai Shujie appeared, he has rarely engaged in any mess on the territory of the 29th Army. So if he did it this time, for what purpose? Why don't you have any scruples and make such a big commotion?

Also, after the Shagang explosion, all the news media reprinted the press release of "Chengde Frontline Daily", why did Bai Shujie know so clearly? Could it be that there are still any problems behind the Shagang explosion that are worth scrutinizing?

Zhao Dengyu had a hint of enlightenment, and immediately thought about it: "Dengshun, there's nothing going on lately, you also go to Raoyang for a walk, don't you understand that there are not too many shells?" Also, the little devils increase their troops every day, and now there are two more brigades from Tanggu, Tianjin. In case of a fight, our artillery has no shells, so it's a ball! ”

"Big brother, do you want a cannonball?" Zhao Dengshun is not a fool, now that the enemy is present, he actually said that there is nothing wrong, who believes it: "Do you need to verify something?" ”

"You can know it in your heart, but don't talk nonsense. Go and come back quickly, and you can't delay. Zhao Dengyu smiled slightly: "I hope the gods will show the way and get out of the predicament!" ”

Commander Zhao Dengshun, that is the army that Zhao Dengyu started. At the beginning, in order to rescue the big bandit Xu Erhei, he almost got involved with Zou Baoyin. Later, the misunderstanding made it clear, and Bai Shujie also gave him equipment for an artillery battalion.

Since then, as long as Zhao Dengshun has no emergency military information, he will often visit Rao'an. This has come and gone, and Zhao Dengshun, Wei Chong, and Wang Sanju have become good buddies.

Anyway, the bullets and small-caliber shells in the Sanxiandong Arsenal in Chengde are piled up, and Zhao Dengshun has opened the door to convenience in his own defense area, and Wei Chong's supplies will never pass by empty-handed.

However, the boundaries of Beiping have not been peaceful recently. Unexpectedly, Zhao Dengshun came to the door in the rain today, Wei Chong smiled and said to the deputy division commander Wang Sanju: "There must be a reason for the comeder, and the boss's affairs have been settled." Let's go out and greet you. ”

Wei Chong took Wang Sanju to the gate of the city: "The little devils in Tianjin have increased their troops in a big way, and Brother Zhao is not in Nanyuan to reorganize the army, how can you have time to come to me?" ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
