Peking, Japanese military base in Fengtai.

After taking the telegram handed over by Takuma Kamiki, a hint of madness began to grow in Itai Yudai's eyes.

Seeing this, Nakagawa Ken came over and said, "Itai, what did the general say..."

Itai Yudai raised his hand to stop Nakagawa Ken from speaking, looked at Ueki Takuma and said, "Call Taniguchi Mayu immediately, and start the operation. Bring people over from Peking immediately."

Takuma Kamiki didn't know the so-called plan, but it didn't affect his execution of orders at all.

After everyone left, Itai Yudai looked at Nakagawa Ken and said, "Nakagawa-kun, haven't you always been looking forward to fighting? Maybe this time you can get your wish!"

"Yoshi, hearing you say that makes my blood boil. Itai, who do you think we should fight?" Nakagawa Ken looked eager to try.

"Baga! Of course we are fighting against the Chinese, but we are not the main force. Come here, I will teach you what to do." Itai Yudai said, calling for Ken Nakagawa to come closer.

Elsewhere in the garrison, Mutaguchi Ren'ya, commander of the 1st Regiment of the Garrison Army Infantry Brigade, was talking with his deputy commander, Morita Toru.

Mutaguchi Renya was sitting behind his desk at this time, gently wiping a saber in his hand. Without raising his head, he asked, "How is the exercise going?"

Opposite the desk, Deputy Commander Morita Toru was holding some documents in his hand. These were information about the garrison in Wanping City sent by Matsui Takeo, the chief of the Peking Special Agency of the Northern Garrison Army.

"Captain, everything is going according to plan." As he spoke, Morita Toru looked at the watch on his wrist and continued, "It's ten o'clock now. In another hour, we can attack the Chinese."

"Yoshi, call and tell Kiyonao Ikki and Seishiro Shimizu that the plan has come to this point, so make sure nothing goes wrong."

"Hey! Please rest assured, Captain. I have already explained the importance of the matter clearly to them both. They will definitely not be careless." Toru Morita said seriously.

Then he put the documents in his hand on the office, and said with a little worry: "Captain, Master Banjing and Master Zhongchuan suddenly came to Fengtai with a squadron of military police. Is it related to tonight's plan? We must be careful to serve those two people."

Mutaguchi Renya stopped wiping his sword and sighed helplessly, "How could I not know? These noble young masters have been pampered since childhood, how could they understand the hardship in our army.

I went to meet them just now, and Master Banjing's eyes, wow, he looked me up and down.

He also said something like, "I hope you won't let me down. If you make a mess, you'll be in trouble." I feel uncomfortable thinking about that arrogance now."

Morita Toru looked at his captain with sympathy and said, "One is the son of the Itai family, and the other is the young master of the Nakagawa family. They are well-known playboys in Kyoto. Captain, you better be patient."

Mutaguchi Renya took the saber in his hand, waved it in the air twice and said, "Of course I have to endure it. Even General Tashiro has to be polite to them, not to mention a colonel like me. Well, let's not talk about it. They should just come here to get some credit."

Morita Toru nodded: "I hope these two young masters will just take a quick look and not do anything too fancy."

11pm.

Everything happened just as Ishiwara Kanji had planned. During a night exercise in the area north of Marco Polo Bridge, the Eighth Squadron of the Third Battalion of the First Regiment of the Fengtai Garrison Army, led by Seirō Shimizu, suddenly reported to Fengtai.

It was said that the troops under exercise were suddenly shot at by the Chinese army, resulting in the disappearance of one soldier.

Mutaguchi Ren'ya and Morita Toru looked at each other, and then ordered a call to the Chinese garrison in Wanping City, requesting to enter Wanping County for a search.

At the same time, Mutaguchi Ren'ya personally led the Third Battalion of the First Regiment and immediately headed to Lugou Bridge.

At around twelve o'clock in the evening, the Hebei-Chahar authorities received a call from Matsui Takehiro, the head of the Japanese spy agency in Peiping.

Matsui said that the Japanese army was conducting exercises outside Lugou Bridge when they suddenly heard gunshots. They immediately called the roll and found that one soldier was missing. They suspected that the shooter was the Chinese army stationed in Lugou Bridge, and believed that the soldier who fired the gun had already entered the city, so they demanded to enter the city immediately to search.

The Chinese garrison refused on the grounds that it was late at night and the Japanese army's entry into the city might cause local unrest, and the Chinese garrison was fast asleep.

Soon after, Matsui called the Hebei-Chahar authorities again and said that if the Chinese side did not allow it, the Japanese army would use force to enter the city and search.

At the same time, the Hebei-Chahar authorities received a report from the Chinese defenders at Lugou Bridge saying that the Japanese army had formed an encirclement and offensive posture against Wanping City.

In order to prevent the situation from escalating, the Hebei-Chahar authorities discussed with the Japanese side and both sides agreed to jointly send personnel to Lugou Bridge for investigation.

At this time, Mutaguchi Ren'ya had already led the Japanese army to the vicinity of Lugou Bridge, and a squadron of more than 200 military police led by Itai Yudai, Nakagawa Ken, and Kamiki Takuma also arrived.

When Mutaguchi Ren'ya saw the posture of the gendarmerie squadron, he couldn't help but twitch his eyes.

I saw a squadron of more than 75 military police, who brought eight mortars, two brand-new Type 92 infantry guns, two mm mountain guns, six Type heavy machine guns, a dozen Type light machine guns, and three supply trucks for transporting ammunition.

Looking at the equipment of the military police and then at the pitifully small amount of heavy firepower in the troops he led, Mutaguchi Ren'ya was howling in his heart, wondering who is the main force!

Not only did you military police bring heavy machine guns with you, you also brought infantry guns and mortars! Are you trying to steal the credit or overthrow Wanping City?

Seeing Mutaguchi Renya staring blankly at the military police imaginary artillery position, Itai Yudai stepped forward and frowned, "Colonel Muta, we're already at the location, are we just going to sit here and watch? Why don't you give the order to attack! Are you waiting for dinner?"

Mutaguchi Ren'ya turned around and asked stupidly, "Why don't you go through the formalities and negotiate, and just start fighting?"

Nakagawa Ken said with a look of disdain: "We are warriors of the Great Japanese Empire. Why do we have to come up with so many conspiracies and tricks! Hurry up, get your people to move forward! Try to capture Wanping City as soon as possible and give the Great Japanese Empire a good start!"

As he spoke, Ken Nakagawa excitedly took out his telescope and looked towards the other side of the Lugou Bridge.

Itai Yudai stepped forward and slapped him on the back of the head, shouting angrily: "What are you looking at in the dark! Hurry to the artillery position and be ready to fight at any time!"

At this time, the captain of the 1rd Battalion of the 3st Infantry Regiment of the Garrison Army, Ichiki Kiyonao, came up to Morita Toru and whispered, "Deputy Regiment Commander, something is wrong. Why did the military police set up the artillery position so far away?"

Morita Toru turned around and asked curiously, "Can't we take Wanping City?"

Yi Mu Qing Zhi was stunned for a moment, then whispered: "The maximum range is enough, it can bombard Wanping City, but it's a bit strange. According to common sense, the artillery position should not be set up so far away."

"Fool, have you taken over the Marco Polo Bridge?

We only remember to bombard Wanping City, but does Lugou Bridge not need artillery support?

The military police have kindly brought in heavy firepower support, and you are still here making irresponsible remarks! Get lost, quickly assemble the troops and prepare to launch an attack! "Morita Toru cursed in a low voice.

At the same time, I cursed in my heart, they have their own cannons, why do you care where they are placed! They can't be trying to bombard their own people...
