Chapter 8 September 18 is ahead of schedule
The best way to judge Hamaguchi Yuyuki in a certain area is based on changes in the light at night.
Just after twelve o'clock on August 12, when Li Mai found that the lights in the direction of Hamaguchi Yuki's office had gone out, he knew that Hamaguchi Yuki was ready to go back to sleep, and immediately ordered all snipers to concentrate firepower and shoot in the corridor of the official house.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Thirteen PZB18 large-caliber anti-tank sniper rifles fired at the same time, and the powerful point 50-caliber armor-piercing blasting bombs were all concentrated on the corridor of the Prime Minister's Office.
It was an enclosed corridor, but it was all made of wooden structures and could not resist the attack of anti-tank sniper bullets.
Especially at this moment, the bullets are no longer the ordinary armor-piercing blasting bombs used by Zhang Meng back then, but are special 50-caliber special gun bullets for special forces produced separately by Haynes Arms Company, and their power is several times greater than before.
In an instant, broken wood flew everywhere, blood and flesh splattered. The wooden boards on both sides of the three-meter-long corridor were suddenly beaten to pieces by powerful special sniper bombs.
Yuyuki Hamaguchi was shot in the left leg, and his entire left leg disappeared at that moment, with sticky and bloody blood squirting wildly. Several bodyguards around him were caught off guard and were shot and killed. All of them were torn to pieces and flesh and blood were flying everywhere.
The gunshots came three seconds later, which immediately alarmed the nearby Japanese security guards.
They rushed to the corridor as soon as possible, confirming Li Mai's judgment that Yuyuki Hamaguchi must be in the corridor.
"Three-wheeled rapid fire!"
With a command, Li Ma pulled the trigger at the same time, and the muzzle trembled and ejected dazzling flames.
In just one minute, the corridor area of the Prime Minister's Office was completely razed to the ground, and then more than a dozen Japanese security guards who rushed to reinforce were all shot dead, and their bodies were torn to pieces everywhere.
Seeing the fire flashing in the distance, several experienced bodyguards knew that their pistols could not reach the other party at all, so they could only notify the army to reinforce. However, Yuyuki Hamaguchi was bleeding profusely and had to lead the other party away as soon as possible. So several bodyguards played Yuyuki Hamaguchi's clothes and escaped from different directions.
Sure enough, two snipers lying in the vicinity opened fire without hesitation and shot them dead.
They then sent out a signal flare of success. Li Ma knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time. Killing the Japanese Prime Minister would be annoyed the entire Japanese government, so he immediately ordered a retreat and directly withdrew all commandos from Tokyo overnight.
In fact, Yuyuki Hamaguchi died of excessive blood loss within one minute of the shot.
But the Japanese military and political parties who arrived later chose to block the news. The next day, he announced that Yuyu Hamaguchi was injured and hospitalized, which made Li Ma and others very upset when they received the news.
Time went back three hours ago.
Zhang Cheng, Consul General of the Tang Empire in China, was responsible for the affairs of the entire Greater China region. He has always followed Zhang Meng's orders to recruit talents from all walks of life from mainland China to the Tang Empire on a large scale.
With the outbreak of the Tang-Rich War, Zhang Cheng had another new task, which was to pay close attention to all the movements in the Northeast.
It has entered August 1931. The situation in the Northeast is becoming increasingly unstable, and there is constant friction between the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Northeast Army garrison. With the occurrence of the Nakamura incident, the Japanese Kwantung Army began to conduct large-scale military exercises near various command centers of the Northeast Army in Shenyang, which each time made the Northeast Army guarding there feel a lot of pressure.
Since the elite main forces of the Northeast Army were all helping Chiang Kai-shek fight the Central Plains War in the pass, the left-behind troops in the Northeast were no match for the Japanese army at all. Zhang Xueliang ordered the left-behind Northeast Army to "not resist or move, put the gun in the warehouse, stand up and die, everyone will be virtuous and sacrifice for the country." No matter how the Japanese army provoked, the Northeast Army must tolerate it.
Zhang Xueliang was short-sighted and did not see the real purpose of the Japanese planning to annex the Northeast. He thought that as long as he did not resist or provoke the Japanese, he could avoid the war. In the end, he proved that he was wrong and was a big mistake. He handed over the three eastern provinces to the Japanese and became a sinner forever.
The Northeast Army's family's wealth is solid. Zhang Meng cannot stop the Japanese from annexing the Northeast at present, but he is not happy to see Zhang Xueliang, a prodigal son, give all the rich family fortune left to him by Zhang Zuolin to the Japanese. If Zhang Xiaoge knew about it, he would definitely jump out of the coffin and scold Zhang Xiaoliuzi and beat him up.
Under Zhang Meng's special secret order, Zhang Cheng has always maintained close contact with senior officials and generals of the Northeast Army. Giving gifts when they should be given, and having feelings when they should be given, and trying to win over those who should be given the right to be given the right to be given the right to be given the right to be given the right to be given the right to be given the right to be given the right to be given the right to be given the right to be given the right to be given the right to be given the right to be given the right to be given
The Northeast Army was very strong. In particular, the Northeast Army, reorganized by Guo Songling, eliminated most of the bandit habits, built a new type of army, navy and air force troops, purchased aircraft, tanks and cannons, and set up military academies to train talents, so that the combat effectiveness could rise sharply. This is also the key factor in the Northeast Army being able to win the Zhi-Feng War. After Zhang Xueliang took over the Northeast Army, he still inherited Guo Songling's army-building ideas, so that the strength of the Northeast Army could be preserved and not weakened, and his family's foundation could be continued to expand.
If we only look at the family background, it can be said that the Northeast Army's family is stronger than the Central Army. The three armed forces, including equipment to combat personnel, to logistics support and training of reserve talents, are not comparable to Chiang Kai-shek, who had just gotten up from the Central Plains War.
But what Zhang Meng valued most was not the weapons and equipment and industrial facilities of the Northeast Army. Because he knew that those things were difficult to obtain, Zhang Meng was staring at the naval and air force combat troops within the Northeast Army, as well as the former former Guo Songling's former troops who were not bandit-like in the army, as well as the students of the military lecture halls of various subjects established by the Northeast Army.
The Tang Empire now needs to be equipped with equipment, money, food, and food, but it is just a shortage of people, especially trained naval and air force talents. The talent training of the Northeast Army began in 1922. At that time, Zhang Zuolin suffered a crushing defeat in the First Zhi-Feng War and began to start a large-scale school for the Army, Navy and Air Force to cultivate excellent command and combat talents. Therefore, by 1931, the outstanding command and combat talents of the Army, Navy and Air Force in the Northeast Army had exceeded 10,000, and the number of talents trained in the school was as high as 100,000, and these talents were really needed by Zhang Meng.
Among these talents in the Northeast Army, some of them changed jobs to the Tang Empire under the temptation of money and super high treatment, and some of them were in a state of uncertainty, but most of them were unwilling to betray the Northeast Army or leave the Northeast.
Zhang Meng knew that there were no political parties in the Northeast Army, and the officers and soldiers did not have their own clear struggle program. The only thing that supported them to stay there was because their homes were in the Northeast and no one was willing to leave their hometowns. Another factor was the word "righteousness" in the hearts of Northeast people. It was very shameful to betray the faithfulness and betray the Lord and seek honor. Since the era of Zhang Zuolin, the word "righteousness" in the world has taken root in the Northeast Army.
Zhang Meng admires such people.
Zhang Meng was not anxious because he knew that the Japanese were even more anxious than him. After the Japanese invaded the three northeastern provinces, these Northeast Army officers and soldiers who had persistence had to leave their hometowns. At that time, when they received repeated orders to resist, Zhang Meng believed that they would eventually give up following Zhang Xueliang and look for a new lord who supported their anti-Japanese and regained their homes.
Looking around the world, only Zhang Meng and his Tang Empire dare to fight against Japan head-on, so Zhang Meng believes that one day these Northeast Army he likes will be used by him.
But before that, Zhang Cheng was ordered by Zhang Meng to not force those talents in the Northeast Army who were temporarily unwilling to serve in the Tang Empire, as well as students from major military academies in the Northeast, but instead tried to get along with them, so that if they plan to leave the Northeast Army and leave the Northeast in the future, they will be the first to think of going to the Tang Empire.
Zhang Cheng also strictly followed Zhang Meng's orders. Although he didn't know why Zhang Meng asked him to prepare thousands of ships and transport ships, and they were all placed on the front line of the Bohai Bay such as Yingkou, Jinzhou, etc.
Is something big going to happen in the Northeast?
Zhang Cheng has thought this more than once. In his eyes, Zhang Meng is a person who is increasingly unable to see through, which makes him a little nervous, for fear that someone accidentally messes up the matter and makes Zhang Meng unhappy. After all, he is a person with a "criminal record".
It is precisely because Zhang Cheng was particularly concerned about what happened in the Northeast that some of the intelligence personnel under his command quickly reported to him a shocking secret, that is, the Kanto Army Command had secretly issued an order to attack Shenyang by force, because Japanese Prime Minister Yu Hamaguchi had been assassinated and no one could restrain the Kanto Army before the new government was established.
Zhang Cheng repeatedly confirmed the authenticity of the news, so he immediately sent an emergency telegram to the Ministry of National Defense of the Tang Empire.
It was precisely because of Zhang Cheng's secret telegram that Zhang Meng confirmed that the Blue Fox Special Service Team had successfully assassinated Yuyuki Hamaguchi three days ago, and the Japanese Kwantung Army knew that Yuyuki Hamaguchi was dead that they dared to take action.
