120. Ultimatum

Lieutenant General Hidetaro Hatata, commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army, was so angry that he went crazy when he saw the Associated Press's report on the Yuyan detachment: "Baga! This group of ignorant journalists, such bastards! They were so poor, they had nothing, and they almost wiped out all three of our reinforced squadrons! The face of the Imperial Japanese Army has been lost! Baga! Dead, dead, dead! ”

However, there are still 2,983 expatriates and 19 Japanese prisoners of war in the hands of the other side. How to get these people back and appease the anger against the Kwantung Army at home is the biggest headache for Lieutenant General Eitaro Hata at the moment. Zuihou, or Seishiro Itagaki this senior staff officer thought of a way: seek the help of the International Red Cross!

A month later, a group of three members of the International Red Cross came to Mukden. Soon sent out a message that he hoped to meet with the leader of the Youyan detachment. Because Bai Shujie was not there, Zhao Jinxi and Gan Tong and Zhao Jinxi did not see them.

After thinking about it for a while, the two of them felt that this was not very appropriate, so they asked Qin Yuefang and Yang Guihua to come forward. Anyway, whatever conditions are harsh, whatever conditions are proposed. Delay as much as possible and wait for Bai Shujie to return.

After Zhao Jinxi communicated with Gan Tong and Zhao Jinxi by telegram with the military directors of several quarters, they all agreed that this time it was necessary to uphold the consistent style of the detachment commander and submit compensation to the Japanese Government. Among them, Liu Zhiliang, who had carried out the previous two missions to blackmail Japanese imps, proposed a compensation plan to hand it over, but the Kwantung Army did not agree.

The two sides negotiated back and forth through the International Committee of the Red Cross, which dragged on for a month and a half. Three months have passed since the end of the war. The main purpose of the Youyan detachment is to delay time and wait for Bai Shujie to come back to get ideas.

Bai Shujie carefully inquired about the process of the battle and the casualties of his own people. When I heard that 20 people had died and dozens were seriously injured, I was furious! Shouted: "Power on immediately!" Continuous broadcasting! ”

"The commander of the Kwantung Army of Little Japan, Hidetaro Hata Lao Pifu: Lao Tzu is not negotiating with you, but giving you an order to zuihou! First, in order to ensure the personal safety of Japanese expatriates, Lao Tzu paid a huge sacrifice of more than 100 people, so you Lao Pifu must publish an apology! ”

"Second, 2,983 expatriates have raised you for three months, and you have to pay 29.83 million oceans for living expenses, accommodation, and nursing expenses! Must be converted into gold bars! Third, there are 19 little rabbit cubs, who killed Lao Tzu's brothers, and if you take out 1.9 million ocean Lao Tzu, you will release them! ”

"Fourth, because of your shamelessness, Lao Tzu's weapons and ammunition have all been exhausted! You must replenish Lao Tzu with 3,000 Type 38 rifles, 500 Type 38 light machine guns, 150 Type 38 heavy machine guns, 81 mortars 200, 60 mortars 300, 30,000 shells, 3 million rifle bullets, 1,500 cases of grenades, 1,500 boxes of anti-inflammatory drugs, and 20,000 first-aid kits! ”

"All of the above items are entrusted to the Red Cross! Lao Tzu gives you ten days to prepare. If you dare to play tricks, Lao Tzu will cut off all these mongrels and use them to pay tribute to Lao Tzu's brothers! You can use the Chinese people to create mass graves, and so will Lao Tzu! From today on, as long as you dare to touch Lao Tzu alone, Lao Tzu will kill you a thousand! Youyan Detachment: Detachment Leader Bai Shujie! ”

The reason why Bai Shujie is so tough is because of the sacrifice of his comrades. Another fundamental reason is that Zhao Jinxi and Gan Tong's counterattack is too sharp! Regarding the Qianjinzhai Coal Mine, he has long wanted to give it to him. But if you force the little devils to start a war in advance because of fear, it will be bad! So I held back and didn't move.

However, now that it is a fait accompli, it is a matter of improvisation. As the saying goes: when you get into a problem and can't find a solution for a while, then you have to make a bigger problem as soon as possible! Only in this way can you divert someone's attention and buy time for you to find a solution to your troubles!

When the Kwantung Army found the International Red Cross, they wanted to dress up as an innocent victim and save a little face. But now, Bai Shujie has made a huge trouble for the Kwantung Army! No matter what they do, they don't have any good fruit to eat! Shame, it must be all over Shijie!

The reason why the Kwantung Army could not make up its mind to send troops to the Northeast was that it could not figure out the true attitude of the Northeast Army. Now that Bai Shujie is doing this, he will completely muddy the water! The Japanese Kwantung Army originally suspected that this so-called Youyan detachment was made by the Northeast Army to deal with them.

As soon as this telegram came out, the next day's major newspapers published the full text on the front page! In the eyes of the Chinese people, although the language of the electricity is vulgar, it seems to be relieved! Regardless of the purpose of Little Japan, it was also published in full. This time the island exploded! Family members, relatives and friends have called the emperor to urge that the matter be resolved as soon as possible!

Originally, the International Red Letter Society also wanted to make big things small and small things into nothing. Now Bai Shujie directly issued a zuihou ultimatum, which caught them off guard. The International Red Cross is not all righteous men and gentlemen, and there are many people who give the Japanese ass to the bottom. Bai Shujie knew this, so naturally he would not let them succeed.

As for what others think and think of him as a madman, Bai Shujie doesn't bother to care. His people, now at the horse farm, the 2nd Cavalry Company was carefully counting the horses.

Seeing Hou Zide coming over, Bai Shujie asked with a smile: "Company Commander Hou, haven't you figured it out after a day?" ”

Hou Zide said happily: "Understood! A total of 987 horses! The first row is really good, most of them sacrificed their lives in exchange! However, forage is a big problem now, and our horse farm is too small. ”

"It doesn't matter! I arranged it before we went out! Bai Shujie said: "About 30 miles to the northeast, I built a secret base. There was a big cave there, and I named her Panlong Cave. Originally, there was no back road, but when I was there to survey the terrain, I accidentally opened the back passage. ”

"Guess what, I didn't expect it to be a completely enclosed mountain basin, about 6,000 acres in area. It's full of flowers and plants, man! A thousand horses are perfectly fine! As long as we regularly replenish the concentrate, it is fine. At the moment, barracks are being built there, and we will bring the horses there tomorrow. ”

Bai Shujie stared at Hou Zide seriously and asked, "How is it, do you have the confidence to command a cavalry battalion?" ”

"Although I haven't commanded, as long as I think about the tactics thoroughly and the usual drills are combined, there is no problem, right?" Hou Zide smiled and said, "Which general is born to command thousands of troops?" ”

Bai Shujie patted Hou Zide's shoulder vigorously and said, "Okay! That's what I want! Now that the people are ready, we are waiting for you to train and marshall! ”

After returning from the racecourse, Bai Shujie thought that it was necessary to sum up the lessons of this anti-encirclement and suppression, but it was not appropriate to hold a centralized meeting, and Zuihou could only send a telegram.

The biggest takeaway this time was that more than 7,400 laborers volunteered to stay. Among them, 3,600 people have come to Crouching Tiger Villa. If the troops are mobilized at a rate of 30 per cent, they will get about 1,100 people.

If a cavalry battalion is formed, according to the establishment of three cavalry companies, a guard platoon, and an artillery platoon, one battalion will be 745 people. After deducting the existing 207 men of the 2nd Cavalry Company, another 538 people are needed.

In other words, if 1,100 people are recruited, there will be 562 more. Together with the guard company, it can also be organized into a battalion. Now it's time to look at the seizure of Panlong Cave, if there is no equipment, it is still empty talk.

By questioning Zhao Jinxi and Gan Tong, it turned out that in this battle, the main thing seized was money. The secret warehouses of the two major banks and a club of the little devils have seized more than 87,000 gold bars, more than 130 million yuan in the ocean, and more than 4,000 yen in yen. There are also 27 sets of radio stations of various models and 97 telephones (hand-cranked).

A lot of cars were seized, and the key was that the bastards of the special platoon did not bring back gasoline. At present, there are barely enough barrels of gasoline for each car, and it has to be stopped after running 600 kilometers.

Since the relocation of the horse farm to Panlong Cave, Bai Shujie asked Hou Zide to find people from the laborers. Now the laborers have basically recovered, and they are now working as farmers on specially opened farms.

Time slipped away quietly in the process of Bai Shujie's deliberation on the construction of the troops, and in a blink of an eye, it was the seventh day of Bai Shujie's ultimatum. On this day, Yang Guihua received a specific reply from the Japanese Kwantung Army to the Zuihou ultimatum transferred by the International Red Cross:

First, do not apologize in the newspaper; second, the amount of compensation is 10 million oceans; third, 500 38 rifles, 50 light machine guns, 20 heavy machine guns, and 100,000 rounds of ammunition; Fourth, 150 boxes of anti-inflammatory drugs and 3,000 first-aid kits.

Bai Shujie saw that there was not even a tenth of it, and immediately ordered Yang Guihua: "Send a telegram: Hidetaro Hata old horseman, today is the seventh day!" If you insist on going your own way, Lao Tzu will create a mass grave made of the bones of little devils in three days! ”

Within two days, the International Red Cross and the Kwantung Army held urgent consultations, and on the ninth day, the first page of the "New Asia Daily" published a message released by the Japanese Kwantung Army: "The subordinate garrison acted recklessly and exchanged fire with the Youyan detachment without authorization, thus causing serious consequences, and the Kwantung Army Command expressed serious regret for this." ”

Bai Shujie saw the newspaper sent by the Red Cross, and he didn't pursue it too much. After all, the little devil in this period has just defeated the long-haired son, and it is the time when he is arrogant and extremely arrogant. It's been pushed too far, and the gains outweigh the losses. So he laughed it off, and it was regarded as admitting that the Kwantung Army had completed the first article.

To show his sincerity, Bai Shujie ordered Lan Caiqin to release 150 children and escort them to Fengtian City to be handed over to the Red Cross. Through the reporter's interview with these children, the public was relieved. Because the children actually said that the aunts there were all very good, and it was also fun there, and they didn't want to go home.

There are a few children who are more Chinese, and they can completely recite the Eight Catch-Laws and Seven Killing Orders! These contents are naturally what the reporters want the most, and all of a sudden, the "Eight Military Regulations and Seven Killing Orders" of the Youyan Detachment spread all over the world! The Youyan detachment is known as the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and it is known to the whole world.

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