As for whether these two people bought houses and land outside, insiders don't know.
This is a bit tricky, but Fan Keqin doesn’t feel hopeless. It's just that it's more difficult to find such opportunities. After all, as long as they are individuals, they will definitely reveal their flaws.
For example, it's impossible for them not to come out. If they want to do something, there are some official matters. These two devils must come out. Even going out to have a meal, drink some wine or something, this must happen.
But it was definitely not enough for the time being. Fan Keqin asked Bai Fengtai to send four people to keep an eye on the Japanese military police headquarters. In addition, he also prepared six gunmen who were on standby at any time. As long as Kanaya Toshiaki and Okuda Yoshitomo Kako came out, they would be monitored immediately. , if you have the chance, you can kill him directly.
This is a bit passive, but that's okay. This is just to deal with these two devils. Fan Keqin doesn't need to take action personally yet, but he really has a target to deal with personally. It's another old devil.
This old devil is very powerful, his name is Shunichi Terauchi. Now he is one of the few generals among the Japanese. Originally, it was very difficult for Fan Keqin to get rid of these high-ranking officials in the army.
After all, official generals basically stay in military camps, headquarters, official residences, etc., surrounded by Japanese soldiers. Therefore, it is almost impossible to execute a Japanese general.
But now there is a chance. This is based on the New Year's Eve banquet that the Japanese and puppets wanted to hold years ago. The purpose of this banquet is to stabilize the Wang Puppet's internal affairs and to attract some gentry, celebrities, and people from all walks of life to support certain forces within the Wang Puppet's internal affairs. The specifications themselves are still very high.
Shunichi Terauchi, the Japanese general, had just returned from the battlefield in South Asia. When passing through Shanghai, you can participate. He has a high status, so if he comes to attend the New Year's Eve banquet, he will give Wang Puppet a very strong support. It can promote the stability of Wang Puppet. Even if it's just showing up at the banquet, that's totally fine.
Shunichi Terauchi himself has a relatively high status, and it is impossible for him to participate on time. It was also because of this that Shunichi Terauchi, who had not yet arrived, learned that there had been a bomb attack at the banquet. So I didn’t come at all.
After something like this happened, Shunichi Terauchi's security team would definitely have to turn a blind eye. Who is the target of the bomb attack? Is it just to ruin the New Year's Eve party? Or are you here just for General Shunichi Terauchi? You can't just ignore these things.
In the subsequent investigation, Shunichi Terauchi's security team was also involved. And this participation, the insiders of various Japanese agencies in the intelligence network that Fan Keqin had previously arranged played a role. They reported this matter to Fan Keqin.
In this way, Fan Keqin also knew that in Shanghai, a Japanese general, Shunichi Terauchi, was waiting to return to Japan.
What did Junichi Terauchi do when he returned to Japan? The answer is simple: accept the title of marshal. By the way, the battlefield this old devil is now responsible for is in South Asia, but before, he also committed numerous crimes against the country.
After Marco Polo Bridge, as the war expanded, the Japanese army continued to increase its troops on the mainland. At the end of August 1937, Shunichi Terauchi was appointed commander of the North China Expeditionary Force. He was in charge of eight divisions including the First and Second Army and the aviation corps of about 150 aircraft. His main tasks were: "Occupy the Pingjin area and nearby important places, and ensure the stability of this area. Depress the enemy's will to fight, obtain a situation that ends the war, and quickly annihilate the enemy in the central part of Heb Province."
Originally, the most suitable position for this position was the Japanese general Shinyuki Abe, who happened to match the old Japanese soldier Iwane Matsui in Central China. However, this is the incident of 226. General Masaki Jintaro is still in prison. In order to save Masaki from prison, he must be imprisoned. Masaki's Terauchi was transferred, and just like that, Shunichi Terauchi was transferred to the North China battlefield.
Shunichi Terauchi advocated a quick war and a quick decision, so he commanded the North China dispatched troops to attack the entire North China region wildly. When Yin Shi took office, he issued an order for the Baoding-Zhuozhou mobile operation. It was expected to face the main force of the Central Army of the Kuomintang heading north on the great plains in central Hebei. It relied on its firepower and mobility that exceeded that of the Kuomintang army to make a rapid breakthrough. As a result, the Central Army's front line was repeatedly broken by the Japanese army before it was formed, and the group armies fighting on the front line retreated. If we retreat again, the Baoding camp will be at a loss...
After occupying North China, Shunichi Terauchi, who was unable to expand the front line and had to be "idle" according to the orders of the base camp, took up another task, which was to rectify the "public security issues" in the occupied areas of North China. In late December 1937, Shunichi Terauchi promulgated the "Implementation Guidelines for Public Security Maintenance in Japanese-occupied Areas" in the name of the North China Front Army Headquarters.
Shunichi Terauchi pointed out in the "Implementation Essentials" that it was the activities of "bandits" and economic instability that led to the chaos of "public order". And "the crusade against gangs will focus on the Communist army, especially the established communist areas, and strive to destroy them as soon as possible."
In September, the Imperial Attaché to the Japanese Emperor, Touichi Terauchi, who had been inspecting the front line, reported: "The northern part of Shanxi and the mountainous areas connecting the Taihang Mountains where the imperial army has not reached are the nests of the Communist army, and its influence still affects North China. Therefore, it must be thoroughly Clean it up to avoid future troubles.”
Shunichi Terauchi also "worked hard" to establish a "new regime" for North China. The "new regime" he hoped to establish was not local, but a central government that would replace the Nanjing government. Although the base camp still had a glimmer of hope in inducing surrender to the government, it was in no rush to break with Chiang immediately. However, Terauchi Shunichi sent people to lobby the base camp forcefully while starting preparations for the "new regime".
Later, according to the outline, the head of the Peking Secret Service established the "Pingjin Public Security Federation". On the second day after the fall of Nanjing, under the direct "care" of Shunichi Terauchi, the Japanese finally put together a "Provisional Government of the Republic of China" with Wang Kemei as the center. After the provisional government was established, the police force and security group were cobbled together to act as accomplices of the Japanese invaders to suppress the anti-Japanese movement of the people.
After tidying up the "backyard", Shunichi Terauchi couldn't wait and began to prepare to lead his troops to the front line to charge into battle. After getting approval from the Japanese base camp, the old Japanese finally began to send his troops south. That is to say, in Xuzhou, this old devil also committed numerous crimes.
It can be said that Shunichi Terauchi's rank as a Japanese general was the result of countless crimes that were piled up bit by bit.
