"Read the newspaper, read the newspaper! Japanese agents assassinated the commander of the 17th Division, Zeng Qingyuan!”
In Changsha, the paperboy's clear voice was extremely loud.
Yang Duanliu stood in front of the Yang Residence and stopped a paperboy. He bought a newspaper and read it carefully.
It had been two days since Zeng Qingyuan was assassinated.
"... Okayama Hiroichi, born into a warrior family, graduated from the Imperial Japanese Army University, proficient in Kendo, Karate, graduated from Huangpu Sixth Grade, Commander of the 17th Division of the National Revolutionary Army..."
Yang Duanliu smiled bitterly in his heart. Twenty years ago, he cursed Yuan Shikai as a warlord and was thrown into prison. Now, he actually helped Wang Yi kill a commander of the national army in a shameful way.
In the entire Changsha City, only a few people knew the inside story other than him.
After a long silence, Yang Duanliu asked himself what would happen next if he didn't get rid of Zeng Qingyuan.
Based on his understanding of Zeng Qingyuan, Wang Yi would definitely end up in prison. He might even die tragically in prison before he could even wait for his trial.
Zhang Baochang was still a human trafficker and smuggler. During the Battle of Wu Han, he once again fled, causing a large number of soldiers to fall into a tight encirclement and die in vain.
After 20 years of ups and downs in the business world, Yang Duanliu was no longer the simple-minded young man with only ambition. He understood what loyalty was and what it meant to be unscrupulous to achieve his goals.
"Let future generations judge who is right and who is wrong!”Yang Duanliu smiled. It was as if there was a ray of sunlight shining through the dim sky and shining on his face.
……
"How did you come to Changsha? Who are your accomplices?”
In the interrogation room of Changsha Garrison Command, a few muscular men were interrogating Okayama Hiro.
"Hehe, stupid Chinese soldiers, don't even think about getting any information from me. The soldiers of the Great Japan Empire are invincible!”
Okayama Hiro sneered.
Although Okayama Hiroichi was not sure why he was released and killed a commander of the national army, he could conclude that this was the usual method of killing with a borrowed knife.
It didn't matter who wanted the life of the commander. As long as he insisted that he was the only one who did it, Okayama Hiro would be the hero of the Japanese Empire.
If Lieutenant General Okamura knew about this, he would definitely think of a way to rescue him. At that time, he would be able to return home in glory and be welcomed like a hero.
"How did you know that Okayama Hiro wanted to assassinate Zeng Qingyuan?”
In the Changsha Municipal Office, Tang Chengliu, the commander of the Hunan Military Station, stared at Shen Mengyao with eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. As an old man who had joined the Renaissance Society, Tang Chengliu was all too familiar with Shen Mengyao.
"When I was trying to assassinate Wang Tianmu, I found out that this person had a close relationship with Wang Tianmu. After I failed to assassinate Wang Tianmu, I fled Shanghai and ran into this person in Changsha.
I wanted to contact the people at Changsha Station, but this person was very cunning and moved quickly. I followed him all the way, but I was still a step late. Master Zeng Qingyuan…"
Shen Mengyao's voice gradually became low.
Tang Chengliu's expression changed. He nodded slightly and said,""You can go and rest first. I have already reported your matter to the director. The director will arrange it in a few days.”
Looking at Shen Mengyao's seductive back, Tang Chengliu glared at her plump and round butt before looking away resentfully.
"What a mesmerizing little vixen. It's just a pity that I'm not lucky enough to enjoy it.”Tang Chengliu leaned back and looked at the ceiling. He didn't care about Zeng Qingyuan's death, nor did he care why the Japanese wanted to assassinate Zeng Qingyuan.
Now, the vanguard of the Japanese army had reached the Xinqiang River, less than a hundred miles away from Changsha. The surrounding important towns such as Luofang, Huibu, Xiushui, Wuning, Jing 'an, and Fengxin had fallen one after another. Changsha was like an isolated city. He did not intend to stay here and wait for death.
"Instead of caring about Zeng Qingyuan's death, why don't we see where we can get some money?”
……
At this moment, Wang Yi was holding a newspaper in Yong 'an Town. Wang Yi did not feel guilty about getting rid of Zeng Qingyuan. If Zeng Qingyuan was a military general who could fight hard and was not afraid of sacrifice, Wang Yi would not have killed him.
In his previous life, Changsha City was breached because Zeng Qingyuan, who was in charge of defending the Yuelu Mountain artillery position, was headstrong. He ignored everyone's opposition and resolutely transferred the main force to the flank, causing the Yuelu Mountain artillery main position to open its door and be defenseless. It was taken down by the Japanese army in one fell swoop.
If the main artillery position of Yuelu Mountain was lost, the Japanese army could turn the muzzle and directly bombard the entire city of Changsha. In fact, if Yuelu Mountain was lost, it meant that the defeat of Changsha was set.
He also ordered Zhang Baochang's troops to defend the only passage behind Mount Jinhua. Zhang Baochang repeated his old trick. Before the battle began, he led the 83rd Cavalry Regiment to escape. As a result, the 99th Army, which was responsible for guarding Mount Jinhua, was cut off and surrounded by the Japanese army.
Especially Zhang Yiping's 3rd Regiment, they held on for 3 days and 3 nights, running out of ammunition and food, but no one surrendered, and in the end, the entire regiment died on the battlefield.
The national army had soldiers who dared to fight, and it wasn't that they didn't have loyal and brave generals, but there were always villains who stabbed them in the back.
Wang Yi tossed the newspaper aside and strode to a temporary platform.
At this moment, a person was tied up on the high platform. He was bloated and unkempt. It was Zhang Baochang, who had been imprisoned for two days.
"Hehe, Wang, you have guts. If you have the ability, don't let me go. Let's see how you end this!”
Zhang Baochang sneered at Wang Yi and said proudly.
"Isn't this Zhang Baochang from the 83rd Cavalry Regiment? Why is he tied up?”
Some of the scattered soldiers outside the camp had sharp eyes and had already recognized Zhang Baochang.
This news immediately caused an uproar in the camp. Zhang Baochang had always been domineering. When he was in Wu Han, he did not take the Hubei army seriously. However, he relied on his relationship with Zeng Qiangyu, a member of the Central Committee. No one dared to offend him.
Those who quarreled with him did not have a good ending. There was a security regiment chief in the Hubei army. Because Zhang Baochang had forcefully snatched a civilian girl, he had reported it to the commander of the Third Battle Area, Gu Zhutong. In the end, he only sent the woman back.
However, a few days later, the security chief died outside the camp, and the woman's house was burned down.
Coinciding with the war, who would care about the life and death of a security regiment chief and a villager? People knew that it was Zhang Baochang who did it, but there was nothing they could do.
After this incident, no one dared to offend Zhang Baochang again.
Now, someone actually dared to kidnap him. Not only him, but the entire 83rd Cavalry Regiment was also kidnapped.
This mess was simply bigger than the sky!
The news seemed to have grown wings and spread quickly in the camp. People quickly gathered around the high platform.
" Isn't this the committee member who came two days ago? He looks quite young…"
"Which part of the song is this?"
"Bah…None of the officials are good!”
"Look at this Councilman Wang. What kind of long gate array is this?”
