At first, the chaos of the Japanese was just a conflict between some infantrymen and the military police. If they only arrested a few people, it would not cause much trouble, but now it has developed to the point where more than a dozen military policemen have been killed, and there is no way to solve it.
In the army, the military police are bigger than the sky. Killing the military police is tantamount to rebellion. This time there are still more than a dozen. The military police headquarters cannot give up.
In the past few days, the military police have arrested and killed people at will, causing anger and resentment among the garrison. Many soldiers have long wanted to vent their dissatisfaction.
The conflict between the Eguchi Squadron and the military police soon escalated to the point where the units were dissatisfied with the headquarters and even the base camp. They flocked to the military headquarters in droves.
A fierce battle broke out with the military police. As more and more troops joined, the few hundred military police were not enough, and they were quickly slaughtered by the angry soldiers.
Then they rushed into the headquarters of the 35th Army and killed everyone on sight. The commander and chief of staff of the 35th Army were completely dumbfounded and did not expect to trigger a mutiny.
It was already dark by this time. At first, only the Eguchi Squadron's wing participated in the riot, but later other wings joined in the riot, and finally all the garrison troops were involved.
Some of these troops support the headquarters, some want to surrender to the National Salvation Army and take the opportunity to cause trouble, and some are purely for self-protection.
"Your Majesty Commander, the rebels have rushed in, what should we do?"
The chief of staff, Major General Hanyu, hurriedly asked for instructions from the commander, Lieutenant General Suzuki. Suzuki was also panicked at this time. The mutiny was not something that he, the commander, could suppress;
All his power comes from the army, but now that there has been a mutiny, without the army he is just an old man, nothing in front of hundreds of rebels.
The noises, gunshots, and explosions were getting closer and closer, and they had already reached the headquarters gate. Suzuki could already faintly hear the voice of trying to capture him alive.
A sneer appeared on Suzuki's face. Those who clamored to capture him alive to seek justice for the soldiers were just trying to capture him and demand rewards from the Chinese people.
He took out an exquisite Browning pistol from the drawer, which was smuggled goods he obtained from the black market. He had no trust in southern pistols at all. How could he dare to use a pistol that was jammed at a critical moment to commit suicide?
He loaded the bullet and said coldly to Major General Hanyu:
"Hanyu-kun, I am a lieutenant general appointed by the empire. I will not fall into their hands and be humiliated. Today is the day when I will be loyal to the emperor. What about you?"
Major General Hanyu was completely dumbfounded and stammered:
"Of course I have to be loyal to Your Majesty. I will go back and get the dagger—"
Two soft gunshots rang out at the command post. Major General Hanyu fell down, and Lieutenant General Suzuki's gun was still smoking.
He looked at the fallen Major General Hanyu with a mocking look on his face, feeling very disappointed in his heart. He did not expect that the thick-browed Major General Hanyu would not want to die for Yu Ren, that loser;
And the reason why he chose to commit suicide was not really because of that trash, but more for himself. He didn't want to live in the world anymore and be a dog for the Chinese people.
After a while, gunfire rang out again, and Suzuki ended his sinful life with the Browning pistol he bought at a high price. Browning did not let him down, and it did not jam at the critical moment.
As soon as he fell, a group of rebel soldiers rushed in, and the second lieutenant who led the team chopped off his big head with a knife. If he took his lieutenant general's head to the National Salvation Army, he should be replaced by a squadron leader.
Major General Hanyu's head did not escape the fate of being chopped off, and was cut off by a soldier with sharp eyes and quick hands.
The mutiny did not end when Lieutenant General Suzuki was killed. The army is like a beast in an iron cage. It is easy to let it out, but it is difficult to lock it in again.
Once the mutiny broke out, no one could control it. After they killed all the high-ranking officials in the headquarters who usually gave orders to them, they began to flood into the civilian areas;
At first it was just robbery, but it didn't take long to develop into killings, forced driving, etc. The evil nature of the Tiaopanji nation burst out. Under the cover of darkness, they committed all the crimes that humans can think of in the city, and Beicheng became the world. Hell, decades of rapid development have been ruined.
When the rebels got to the back and there were no civilians left to rob, they started stabbing each other. You rob me and I rob you. It became a mess. Smoke billowed throughout Beicheng District, and the sound of war cannons was heard endlessly. No one knew what was going on.
At the Independence Army Command Headquarters, news of the riots in Marilla City quickly spread here. Lieutenant General Sekihara came over to ask for instructions on how to deal with it. Zhong Guoliang thought for a while and said:
"General Sekihara, you are working in vain now, the whole city is in chaos, no one can suppress it;
You just need to defend Nancheng District. Any soldiers who dare to rush through Nancheng District will be killed without mercy!
Even civilians must be controlled and dealt with only after their true identity is proven.
Wait until daybreak, after they have vented all night, they should become rational, and then you can enter forcefully;
Control everyone and kill anyone who dares to resist!
After everything is under control, identify all those who are taking the lead in making trouble in the city and let them accuse each other. At least one-third of them must be arrested;
At that time, we will hold a public trial and use their heads to calm the anger of the civilians in the city and shock Xiaoxiao!
Remember, you must use thunderous means to kill them out of fear. After killing them, they will never dare to cause trouble again. You will not tolerate mutiny under the excuse of a mission, otherwise you will not be able to lead such an army in the future. Do you understand? "
Lieutenant General Sekihara, who can become a general, will naturally not have low political awareness. The attitude of any army towards mutiny must be zero tolerance. The most important thing is to give an explanation to the civilians in the city.
In addition, Luzon belongs to Yingjiang, and this needs to be explained even more. The only way to calm the incident is to use the heads of these rebels.
This night was simply an unbearable nightmare for the civilians in Beicheng District. Countless people lost their homes and families this night, and their hatred of the Japanese had reached the edge of being uncontrollable.
After dawn, the rioters who had been crazy all night calmed down. The smart people began to hide the stolen property, and some even hid in the valley. They knew that a new round of violent storm was coming.
According to estimates by so-called experts after the war, the riot caused by insurgents killed and injured at least 50,000 residents in Beicheng District. The Japanese killed and injured each other, and more than 10,000 people were killed and injured. There were corpses everywhere.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the Foot Pot Chicken National Salvation Army marched into the city to quell the chaos. In just one morning, they completely controlled the rebels in the city. In the process, they killed at least 6,000 people and captured more than 30,000 people.
Next, under the auspices of Lieutenant General Sekihara, the key members of the mutiny and the executioners who massacred civilians were counted among the prisoners, and a total of more than 8,000 people were identified.
What happened in Beicheng made Yingjiang very angry. Luzon was developed through hard work. This mutiny brought Marilla's economy back to 50 years ago.
In order to calm the anger of all parties, Yingjiang and the Chinese Expeditionary Force established a collegial panel and conducted a public trial of more than 8,000 executioners. Hundreds of thousands of victims in Beicheng watched the trial.
They shouted in unison:
"Kill them! Kill these beasts!"
Later, more than 3,000 people were sentenced to death, and others were sentenced to several years or more than ten years in prison. All were handed over to the newly established Luzon Democratic Coalition Government for execution.
These Japs fell into the hands of the Luzon government. In order to please the people, they used various methods to deal with these thousands of Japs. It can be said that their lives were worse than death. In the end, less than a hundred of them returned alive.
Luzon is restored!
