Film and Television Beacon Fire: I Have an Equipment Column

Chapter 354 July th Incident
July 7, 1937, is a day destined to be remembered by the Chinese people.

Regarding the significance of this day, I believe that almost every Chinese person has more or less understanding.

It was the beginning of Japanese imperialism's all-out war of aggression against China and the starting point for the Chinese nation's all-out war of resistance against Japan.

Precisely because the "July 7th Incident" has always been emphasized, many people subconsciously believe that the first shot of the "July 7th Incident" was fired on July 7th.

However, the fact is that at 12 o'clock in the evening on July 7, Matsui Kutaro, the head of the Japanese secret service stationed in Peiping, had a phone call with Qin Dechun, the mayor of Peiping, and asked for a search in the city regarding the issue of "missing soldiers."

In the end, Qin Dechun refused on the grounds that "it is late at night and we will discuss it tomorrow."

The Japanese army, which was rejected, began to take action at two o'clock in the morning on July 8, and finally fired the first shot of the incident at the commanding heights of Shagang outside Wanping City at five o'clock in the morning.

The person who fired the gun called himself Mutaguchi Lianye.

Mutaguchi Ren also relied on his status as "the first person to launch the Great East Asia War" and his relationship with Hideki Tojo. In the subsequent war of aggression, he rose through the ranks in the military, reaching the rank of lieutenant general.

At the same time, he also set a record in World War II, single-handedly wiping out nearly 100,000 people from three Japanese divisions.

"Yes."

The principal snatched the telegram away, glanced at it and closed his eyes again. After a while, he took a long breath and said:
"This day has finally come, but it's too fast, too fast!"

Dai Chunfeng raised his hand and handed over the telegram he had just received.

"Speaking of which, what happened?"

Early morning, summer resort.

After hesitating for a moment, the principal said again:
"Let's go ask the Japanese ambassador and see their attitude. That's it, let's do it."

The principal raised his hand and rejected Dai Chunfeng's kindness.

"Report to the principal, there is an urgent call from Peiping. The Japanese army attacked Wanping City last night."

Dai Chunfeng immediately took the order and left.

After taking a breath, the principal continued:
"We will send the United States, Britain, France, the Soviet Union and other countries to seek international help."

"Ask Mr. Bray to come over and inform Wen Bai of the situation. Also, talk to General Feng, General Fu, and Commander Yan."

"Darling, is there going to be a war?"

Seeing that the principal seemed to be shaking a little, Dai Chunfeng immediately stepped forward to give him a hand.

The principal was still asleep when he was awakened by a hurried knock on the door.

Behind the principal, the lady came over.

The lady who was also awakened by the side gently patted the principal, making his anger calm down a little.

"Mother Xipidi, why are you making such a fuss? Are you rushing to reincarnate?"

I will not go into details about the story of this "ghost general". I will only talk about the impact he had after starting the war in Shagang.

"Yes!"

After getting up and putting on his nightgown, the principal walked out of the bedroom and looked at Dai Chunfeng in front of him with an unkind expression.

Such a record can be said to be unmatched by almost all Allied generals.

"Yeah, there's going to be a war."

The principal shook his head.

In the past, he might not have been too worried about the situation in Pingjin, thousands of miles away.

But the possibility that Zhang Wenbai brought about that time made the principal extremely worried. If the Japanese take this opportunity and attack from the sea, will the capital be able to defend it?

However, if the troops are not sent north to help, once the Pinghan Line is cut off by the Japanese, the entire China will be cut into several pieces.

By then, the war situation will become more severe.

All the thoughts could only turn into a long sigh:
"Ah~"

Northern Shaanxi.

Because of Lu Feng's early warning, many senior leaders of the Red Party could be said to have stayed up all night, just waiting for news from Pingjin.

When the news came that Wanping City was attacked by the Japanese army, everyone couldn't help but look at each other in shock.

Many times, even if you are mentally prepared, it will still be shocking when it actually happens.

"Everyone, what do you say?"

"Brothers are fighting against the wall, and we are fighting against foreign aggression together. We can put aside the debts between us and the Kuomintang first. The most important thing is to get rid of these Japanese invaders first." "That's right."

"Agree."

"Agree."

After a simple vote, the Red Party quickly began to issue a statement explaining its position.

On the morning of July 8, the Red Party officially published "The Chinese Red Party Electrified the Japanese Army's Attack on Marco Polo Bridge" and once again proposed the matter of national unity in the war of resistance.

Privately, the Red Party also called the principal and Commander Song respectively, saying that the Red Party soldiers would never retreat on the battlefield against foreign forces.

on the beach.

Thousands of miles away, the sound of gunfire from Wanping City could not reach here.

So for most ordinary people, they have no idea that the war has started.

It wasn't until newspapers and periodicals received the news and began to publish extra headlines that everyone in Shanghai knew that there was another war in the north.

Afterwards, most people go on with their lives and do whatever they have to do.

For them, life is already very difficult, and it is undoubtedly a luxury for them to worry about any major national affairs.

The first to take action were the students.

Compared with other groups in society, only students have such leisure and enthusiasm to contribute their own efforts to things thousands of miles away.

On the afternoon of July 8, large and small groups of students appeared on many streets in Shanghai.

They held banners they had just made and shouted slogans such as "Down with Japanese imperialism!" "Resistance to Japan and salvation of the nation is everyone's responsibility." "Drive the Japanese devils out of China." and other slogans, and paraded on the street. stand up.

As time went by, these students began to gather in Japanese consulates, residences of Japanese dignitaries and other places, and the momentum became more and more massive.

Such actions naturally aroused serious dissatisfaction among the Japanese, and the patrol houses in the concession and the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai were mobilized.

Although these violent organizations dare not use guns on students, they still use batons to expel them and arrest the leaders very smoothly.

For a time, huge chaos broke out in these gathering places, and all kinds of screams, shouts, and reprimands were mixed together, forming a chaotic symphony.

At the same time, Lu Feng was in the resident office of the Baoshan Security Brigade, making combat arrangements to Fang Shengli and others.

Although the reply from the Red Party has never come, Lu Feng is already preparing to start his own "clearance" operation.

His first target was the spies lurking in Baoshan County.

Next, this security brigade station will become Lu Feng's temporary command center. He must clean his home first, and then he can safely sweep away the "dirty things" outside.

"My order for this operation is one: kill the enemy first. Those enemies will be killed without mercy unless they surrender voluntarily. Do you understand?"

Although Fang Shengli and others were very excited after hearing Lu Feng's murderous order, they couldn't help but ask:
"Battal Commander, will there be any problem if we are allowed to participate in the battle without an order from the peak?"

"What are you afraid of? This time you are cooperating with the Military Intelligence Investigation Division, and the targets are Japanese spies lurking around us. There will be no problem.

If anything happens, it will be my responsibility. "

Only now has Lu Feng realized the benefits of playing two roles.

That is extremely high autonomy of action.

At the same time, as the deputy captain of the Shanghai District Special Agent Brigade and the commander of the "Wind" Battalion, Lu Feng could mobilize his own methods and let the "Wind" Battalion cooperate with his various actions.

"Yes."

With Lu Feng's assurance, Fang Shengli and others no longer had any worries. Everyone immediately began to organize manpower and distribute equipment according to Lu Feng's allocation.

Although the main combat method of the "Wind" battalion is fire attack, this does not mean that they are not equipped with conventional weapons.

On the contrary, because of Zhang Wenbai's care, the weapons and equipment of the "Feng" Battalion are much more complete than those of other troops.

As the saying goes, good steel is used on the blade, so for the "Wind" battalion that is specially trained to carry out the task of overcoming difficulties, the logistics department of the national government can be said to be responsive to every request.

I don't dare to make any deductions at all.

After about half an hour, more than 700 people from the "Feng" camp were assembled.

When the sun went down, Lu Feng asked the captains of each team to inform their team members of their respective mission objectives and operational precautions.

Afterwards, he took Fang Shengli, Xu Hu and other direct security squad members out of the station first.

They want to pluck out several "eyes" around the station.
