Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

1 month 2 day,

Yokosuka Special Autonomous Region,

The sun shines into the Jialejia Department Store as usual. This is a five-story shopping mall located at the border between the autonomous region and Japan. Due to its good location, business is booming!

Salesperson Keiko Suzuki, like in countless ordinary days, stood at the door in neat work clothes, and greeted every customer with a smile.

The store is full of merchandise, surrounded by customers' whispers and cheerful laughter. It's another familiar day.

Since Keiko found a job here, her life has been so simple and happy. Her monthly salary has reached 3.2 yen, including performance bonuses, which is much higher than the average income of Japanese people!

Yokosuka Special Autonomous Region is a country within a country, nominally managed by the State of Haizhou. Although all the merchants and business owners there are Haizhou nationals, they inevitably employ a large number of Japanese personnel to provide services!

Just 20 minutes after the mall opened,

Suzuki Keiko suddenly saw a large group of people coming from the direction of Japan. The leaders were wearing black windbreakers and seemed to be local government officials.

Behind these officials were hundreds of Japanese in black uniforms! There were four words on their uniforms: Tax Audit!

These people, all with aggressive looks on their faces, actually crossed the border directly!

In order to facilitate trade, there were no roadblocks at this border, only a few patrol police from Haizhou State.

What surprised Suzuki Keiko was that this group of tax inspectors directly took control of these patrol police officers!

Suzuki Keiko actually felt a little happy and proud in her heart. When did the Japanese suddenly become so bold!

This group of uninvited guests soon arrived at the entrance of Jiajiale Shopping Mall.

The leading official shouted loudly,

"I'm Takashi Tanaka, the head of the Yokosuka Customs Inspection Division. Someone has reported that there is a widespread problem of tariff evasion here. We must investigate carefully!"

After saying that, he ignored the dissuasion of the mall staff, waved his hand, and hundreds of inspectors rushed in!

The inspectors were like a group of out-of-control wild beasts, rummaging around the store and throwing merchandise on the shelves everywhere. The originally neat display instantly became messy.

The customers were frightened and ran away in all directions, with screams and shouts coming one after another.

Suzuki Keiko stood aside in horror, watching all this, her hands unconsciously clenching the corners of her clothes, her heart filled with fear and confusion.

After a while,

Tanaka Takashi commanded his subordinates and actually started arresting mall staff.

There was a cruelty and greed in his eyes, as if he was enjoying the pleasure brought by this power.

The arrested Haizhou people and Japanese had faces full of fear and innocence. They struggled and shouted desperately, trying to prove their innocence, but Tanaka Takashi turned a deaf ear to them and coldly ordered the police to take them away.

At this time, the Haizhou police from the autonomous region arrived. The leader was none other than Long Liqun, the autonomous region police chief.

After he arrived at the scene with dozens of police officers, he realized something was wrong. Not only were there a lot of people on the other side, but many of them had bulges around their waists, obviously carrying weapons!

What is going on? Are the Japanese really that bold?

Although Long Liqun was puzzled, in order to avoid being at a disadvantage, he called a police officer and asked him to call the garrison at the base for help!

Afterwards, Long Liqun stepped forward and directly asked Tanaka Takashi to stop this unreasonable behavior and release the arrested persons.

Tanaka Takashi smiled contemptuously, crossed his arms over his chest, and said arrogantly: "According to the agreement signed that year, the autonomous region and Japan should carry out joint judicial jurisdiction. This is our law enforcement action, which is completely in line with the regulations."

After hearing this, Long Liqun was at a loss for words. The agreement was signed this way, but later on, the Japanese police were gradually squeezed out, and the Japanese seemed to have given up their jurisdiction over this autonomous region.

Long Liqun and the others got used to it and thought that this should be the territory of Haizhou Kingdom and they must follow the rules of Haizhou Kingdom!

The two sides began to argue fiercely, and the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed like it was about to explode. Suddenly, a Haizhou policeman pushed Tanaka Takashi, who immediately became furious and shouted loudly: "Hit me!"

In an instant, the police on both sides wrestled with each other, fists and feet flew, batons were swung, blood splattered on the broken goods and the messy ground, and screams of pain and angry roars intertwined.

During the conflict, there were sudden gunshots. No one knew who fired the gun in the chaos. Suddenly, the scene was filled with gunfire.

But on Long Liqun's side, since they did not carry heavy weapons and many people only had pistols, they immediately suffered a great loss. The police from Haizhou State fell one after another!

When the base's Marine Corps company commander Song Jiawu arrived with his troops, the Japanese had already controlled the intersection and two five-story buildings on the left and right!

He saw that three armored vehicles of the autonomous region's special police team were parked on the street, and the special police captain Wang Rui and more than 20 people were hiding behind the armored vehicles!

The downstairs of the two department stores opposite were in a mess, with daily groceries thrown everywhere, and more than ten corpses lying on the road!

Wang Rui saw Song Jiawu's SUV and immediately ran over to introduce it to Song Jiawu.

"There's no way to get through. They've set up machine guns on the building! Several of my brothers were killed just now!"

When Song Jiawu heard this, he was shocked.

"I heard it was a tax inspection. Where did they get the machine guns?"

As he spoke, he was looking through a telescope. What he saw really frightened him.

There were many swaying figures inside the two buildings, but it could be clearly seen from the windows that they were not tax inspectors at all, but members of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces!

At this moment, on the fifth floor of the Jialejia Building,

Tanaka Takashi was also observing the depths of Yokosuka Autonomous Region with a telescope in his hand.

Next to him, a major from the Japanese Self-Defense Force said,

"Your Excellency, the commander of the regiment, our 1st Battalion and 3rd Battalion have already arrived here, and the main force of the division is on its way!"

"Yoshi, no matter what, this time, we must wipe out all the troops of Haizhou Kingdom!"

Tanaka Takashi's true identity was actually the commander of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army. After receiving the order to declare war on the Kaishu Kingdom,

The division commander Hojo Hiroshi ordered the 1st Regiment to create disputes and take the opportunity to occupy some buildings in the Yokosuka Autonomous Region as a bridgehead for the attack base!

Tanaka Takashi has personally inspected these buildings for a long time. They are all reinforced concrete structures, which are perfect for fortifications!
