April 15, 3 pm.
Xinjing.
In front of the Xinjing Office Building, the red carpet was spread from the road to the steps.
Kwantung Army Commander Honjo Shige, Kwantung Army Secret Service Chief Dohihara, and military and political officials from the three eastern provinces except Black Province were waiting in front of the building.
Utsunomiya Division Commander Furu Suzuki, and Tamon Division Commander Tamon Ergo stood to the left and right of Honjo Shigeru.
The two of them looked at the official who came to congratulate them with stern eyebrows.
Only Ye Anran and Ma Jinshan were not found.
Not even a single important military and political official from the provincial government came to attend the meeting!
Honjo Shige was very angry.
He expected that Ma Jinshan would not come to the meeting.
Although he had long thought that Ma Jinshan and Ye Anran were naturally rebellious and would embarrass him.
Seeing that they didn't come now, Ben Zhuangfan became angry with embarrassment.
He looked at Suzuki Buliang and asked, "What's going on with Ma Jinshan??"
Suzuki Buliang lowered his head, his brows furrowed a few times, "Commander, he and Ye Anran did not come to Xinjing."
"idiot!"
Honjo Shigeru was immediately furious, "As a low-class pariah of Tian Locust, he didn't come to attend the grand ceremony!"
"This is not taking the Locust Army seriously!"
"Send power to Ma Jinshan and ask him to give an explanation. If not, ask him and his troops to withdraw from Hecheng within one day! Ask him and Ye Anran to voluntarily resign as chairman and vice chairman of Heilongjiang Province!"
"Also, push you and the Duomen division forward and surround Hecheng. If Ma Jinshan still doesn't realize it, take back Hecheng by force immediately!"
"Hai!"
Fu Liang Suzuki and Domon Ergou both responded in unison.
The convoy drove to the Xinjing office building under the watchful eye of the Kwantung Army.
A man wearing a tuxedo and a traitor hat got out of the car.
Honjo Shige and Doihara came forward to greet them.
Amidst the shutters of many reporters, the servants announced their performance of duty and the era name "Datong" in the form of interviews with radio, newspapers, and international news reporters.
Just when he announced the reign of the puppet country, an "Anti-Japanese Declaration" issued by Ma Jinshan in Heilongjiang Province spread across the country like spring rain.
Jinling, Hucheng, Peiping;
Almost all news newspapers in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, and Northeast China were publishing and printing the "Anti-Japanese Declaration" of the Northeastern Majun on the front page.
Jinling.
In a villa near mountains and water.
Gao Shen entered Shangfeng's office with the headlines just published by Jinling Dazhong Daily.
"Up to the peak."
Gao Shen held up the newspaper with both hands and said, "Ma Jinshan and the Japanese are fighting."
Shangfeng's brows tightened. He caught the newspaper and read the content of the article carefully: "I have decided to fight the Japanese to the death, and lead more than 70,000 soldiers of the Northeastern Cavalry Army to protect our people and defend our land! From today on, the Northeastern Army will no longer Bow to the devil again!"
"In this difficult time for the country, as a soldier, it is the bounden duty of a soldier to defend the country and protect the people!"
"We, the Northeastern Cavalry Army, are determined to fight the Japanese to the death to protect the territory of the motherland and preserve the Chinese character! Signed: Ma Jinshan, Ye Anran!"
Shangfeng's face was livid, he was holding the newspaper and his teeth ached with anger.
He looked up at Gao Shen: "Niang Xipi! I told him to withdraw from the Northeast but he didn't listen!!"
"This is simply unreasonable!"
"Tell him not to mess around, otherwise, he will be sent to a military court!"
"And that Ye Anran, he is just a lieutenant colonel, and he also signed his name in the newspaper. What qualifications does he have to increase his presence?"
Shangfeng was very angry.
He didn't expect Ma Jinshan to be so ignorant.
Standing in front of Shangfeng, Gao Shen reminded him softly: "Shangfeng, Ye Anran is a lieutenant colonel, but he is also the vice chairman of the Black Province."
"It is said that in the Black Province, his prestige is very high."
"Niang Xipi!"
"He has high prestige and is an official given to him by the Japanese. He has nothing to do with Jinling. I warn Ma Jinshan not to act recklessly. The top priority is not to resist foreigners! We have to ask him to take into account the overall situation!"
"yes!"
Gao Shen responded, then turned and left.
He was going to send a report to Ma Jinshan, telling him to stop challenging the Japanese!
…
In a simple private house, a man held a cigarette between his fingers.
He paid attention to the contents of the newspaper, and his emotions were surging.
He was so mesmerized that he didn't even realize that the smoke was burning his fingers.
Until a boss came into the room and reminded him: "I said, what are you looking at? Wait for a cigarette and burn your hands."
Only then did the man realize that the cigarette had finished burning.
He smiled "haha" and handed the newspaper to the boss who was sitting over, "Two big things happened today!"
After the boss sat down, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Isn't it just one thing?"
"The Japanese occupied the three eastern provinces and established the puppet Manchukuo!"
The man lit a cigarette again, taking only one puff from the previous one. He held the match and pointed at the newspaper.
"Ma Jinshan of the Northeast Army announced that Hecheng would withdraw from the puppet Manchukuo regime and was determined to fight the Japanese to the end!"
"He has a saying that is very good. As a soldier, you should defend the territory of the motherland to preserve the Chinese character!!"
The boss lowered his head to read the newspaper.
"It's rare!"
"Ma Jinshan fired the first shot of the Northeast Anti-Japanese War, then took the initiative to lower the sun, and now he uses this to carry the banner of the Anti-Japanese War!"
"What a general!"
…
"Look at that signature again, Ye Anran. I heard that his prestige in the Northeast Army is second only to Ma Jinshan."
"There is information that Jinling asked him to withdraw from Crane City and transfer to the pass through the Lion's Gate."
"He has made it clear that he refuses to obey Jinling's orders. We must find a way to get in touch with Ma Jinshan."
"The Kwantung Army has strong soldiers and horses. Most of the more than 60,000 people in Ma Jinshan are recruits recruited in Hecheng."
"If you want to find a way, ask the Anti-League to contact Ma Jinshan!"
"Strive to unite the front with them. We cannot fight against the Japanese with tit-for-tat. We must engage in a protracted war! Guerrilla warfare!"
…
The boss put down the newspaper and echoed: "I will immediately notify the comrades of the Anti-Union League and ask them to find a way to get in touch with Ma Jinshan!"
When the boss's voice fell.
A guard came to the two of them and said, "Report, I have your phone number."
"Who's calling?"
He stood up and walked towards the house.
"It's an international call. The caller said he was an old friend of yours, Gal."
The man was slightly startled, then he entered the room and picked up the phone on the table.
He and Galen have a very good relationship.
As the first Soviet general to aid China, Galen had a close relationship with Mr. Sun and later assisted Mr. Sun in establishing the Whampoa Military Academy.
During the Northern Expedition and the Yuzhang Uprising, Gallen was the commander and leader.
Later, the Red Party established the Soviet Area Provisional Government.
Gallon also had contact with Him.
"General Gallen, why are you calling me when you have time? When will you come back to China?"
"Dear Davari, long time no see!"
"Have you read the declaration of resistance by the Northeastern Horse Army?"
Gallen didn't mince words, he got straight to the point and wanted to know what Su District thought of Ye Anran.
The man was stunned for a moment.
"Did the news spread so quickly? You already know it?"
"I just saw it, the brave men in the Northeast Army!"
"Does General Gallen have any instructions?"
"I want to know your opinion on the Northeast Army's move? Do you know about Ye Anran?"
"I don't know, but the Northeastern Horse Army is a heroic army! They were the first Northeastern army to fight against the Japanese after September 18th."
"If I want to support the Northeast Army, do you have any suggestions?"
He didn't expect that Gallon's call was to consider reinforcements to the Northeast?
"General Galen, the Northeastern Cavalry Army disobeyed Jinling's orders and vowed to shed blood. They should be isolated and helpless at the moment."
"Our army is beyond our reach and cannot provide reinforcements. If General Gallen can provide reinforcements to the Northeast Army, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the Soviet Area. Thank you!"
Far Eastern Army Command.
Gallen was holding the phone. On his desk were a grease gun and a strategic map of the three eastern provinces.
He received news that in order to capture Hecheng, the Kwantung Army's 6th Brigade, which originally planned to land in Bincheng, landed in Busan instead.
The Kwantung Army headquarters requested the 6th Brigade to arrive in Heilongjiang Province within four days and carry out a war of annihilation against the Northeastern Army that stubbornly resisted in Heilongjiang Province!
Galen is engaged in the army and intelligence, he is professional!
He was very clear about the current situation of the Northeast Army, and he also shared his worries and the military intelligence he knew with his old friends.
Hearing this, the man took the phone to the map. He looked in the direction of Crane City with great seriousness.
"I didn't expect that the Kwantung Army could spare hundreds of thousands of troops to fight against Ma Jinshan in a short period of time!"
"Coupled with the 6th Brigade that you just mentioned that landed in Busan, it seems that the Northeastern Horse Army is very dangerous!"
Gallen sighed.
He is not afraid of hundreds of thousands of Japanese.
As the commander-in-chief of the Far East Army, he can assemble hundreds of thousands of troops with just a single order.
However, the Northeast Army only has more than 60,000 people.
According to Ivanov, 50,000 of them had not received strict military training.
The actual combat strength is only more than 10,000 people.
The rest are all cannon fodder!
In addition, the equipment of the Northeast Army lags behind that of the Japanese, and it is certain that they will suffer a loss!
"Dear Davari, I will report to Moscow to study a detailed military aid plan."
"If possible, maximum military assistance will be provided to Ye Anran."
Ye Anran?
Hearing the name from Gallen's mouth again, he suddenly felt that this person was not simple.
"Are General Gallen and Ye Anran familiar with each other?"
"My old friend Mr. Ivanov, the former Consul General of Moscow in Crane City, said that he is a rare military genius."
"When I get the chance, I'd like to introduce you to you. I'm going to hang up the phone first. Goodbye, Davari!"
"goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, he also remembered the name Ye Anran.
Far East Command.
Galen picked up the grease gun that he regarded as a treasure. He was a thief and did not tell Su District that Ye Anran had the ability to make guns.
He immediately picked up the phone and called the border guard officer stationed at the Far East border.
"I'm Gal!"
"General."
The officer who answered the phone was so frightened that he received a call from the highest officer in the Far East for the first time! The whole person became energetic.
"Are there any Japanese at the border station near you?"
"General, there is a group of Japanese patrols patrolling the border between Hunchun and the Far East!"
"Are you going to resist the beating?" Galen asked!
If he wanted to send troops to assist the Northeast Army, he had to find a valid reason.
In a fight, whoever strikes first will suffer the consequences.
"Are you asking the Japanese to resist being beaten? Or are you asking me to resist being beaten?"
"Nonsense, of course you resist the beating!?"
"Report to the general, I haven't been beaten yet..."
"Okay, you bring some people, drink some wine, and go do something. You must find a way to annoy the little devil and get someone to beat him up. There is an old Chinese saying, "Suffering a loss is a blessing!"
"Well done, I'll give you double the allowance!"
"yes!"
The officer hung up the phone, picked up his binoculars and went to the lookout post, looking at the Japanese patrolling not far away.
After changing out of his military uniform, he took a few friends, held a miniature camera, sprinkled vodka all over his body, and walked towards the border warning area!
