Tianyi County

Because Li Shaoyi's men had passed through their ranks, many people here were like frightened birds, unable to believe that all this was true. Didn't Commander Yamamoto just sign an agreement with Li Shaoyi a few days ago? How could they suddenly pass through us?

"No conflict?"

County Magistrate Wu Deming said with some fear.

"Those bastards on our border, don't you know who they are? When they saw those armored vehicles, they were so scared that they almost pissed themselves and immediately gave way."

A secretary-looking man next to him said with some disdain.

"You know nothing! If he doesn't clear the way, we'll all have to squat in the yard. Give orders immediately! No one can clash with them without an order from the county government."

County Magistrate Wu went up and slapped him. If everyone follows your idea, no matter how many of us there are, we won’t be enough to kill them.

"Is there still no news from Director Yin?"

Wu Deming shouted towards the house next door. When these people just rushed over, he had already asked them to report to the superior in Tangzhou. He didn't know if there was any news now.

"County Magistrate, there's no news from the Director yet. Wait until the Japanese headquarters gives us orders to strictly guard the border and prevent the Beiping Police Department from coming."

A radio operator came out jogging. He had received orders from the Japanese before and ran faster than when he received orders from his father. The orders from the autonomous government should be put on the back burner, and the orders from the Japanese should be put first.

When they heard this, everyone in the room frowned. Asking us to strictly guard the border?

Relying on a garrison regiment of less than 600 people?

From top to bottom, except for those who smoke opium, the others are just here to make up the numbers. There is even an old man in his fifties among them. How much combat effectiveness can such an army have? Not to mention the people from the Peking Police Department, any group of bandits can pay them off.

"Bullshit! The Japanese have already fled to Tangzhou, leaving us to hold them at the front. What can we do with them?"

County Magistrate Wu slammed the table and said, "Japanese, this is really too much. You all ran away long ago, and pushed us to the front line. Don't you know what our situation is? You let us go up and hold the line. You are just asking us to die."

"Telegram back to the Japanese and tell them that we had a fierce battle with the Peking Police Department, and that 200 men were killed. I don't think we could have 300, but let's say 400. Finally, without any support, the brothers fought hard and retreated to the second line of defense. Please support the Japanese headquarters."

The county magistrate rolled his eyes and immediately issued this order. He really lied in broad daylight without blushing. He didn't fire a single shot. When he saw the people from the Peking Police Department, he ran faster than a rabbit. But you described it as a fierce battle.

"County Magistrate, we have quite a few Japanese lackeys here. Even if we report this to them, the Japanese won't believe it."

The secretary covered his face and said that he had just said something wrong and was slapped by the county governor. Now he has to perform his duties.

"Tell those bastards in the garrison regiment to take note: drag all explosives to the vicinity of the checkpoint and detonate them. Use up all your bullets. If the Japanese come asking about it, just say they lost them in the battle. But make it clear to the police in Sanhe County in advance that we're trying to trick the Japanese, not fight them. If a fight breaks out over this shit, I'll kill him first."

He has been the county magistrate for such a long time. If he doesn't even have this ability, then he shouldn't keep eating at the Japanese bowl.

For county governors like them, the enemy is not strong and they run much faster than the Japanese.

If they were Li Shaoyi's men, they would immediately fabricate a fierce battle for you. Anyway, our personnel are incomplete, and in the end hundreds of people would die. They could still get money from the Japanese. Of course, the Japanese can also refuse to give, because if they don't, it will be even more difficult to accomplish anything in the future. So they would just throw the pot into the pot.

Although the people under his command felt that something was wrong, and that this outrageous lie was too unreliable, and that the Japanese would definitely be able to find loopholes in it, the problem was that there was nothing they could do now. How else could they report it?

There were three counties along the way, involving security teams from the three counties, as well as the Japanese army with all kinds of random names. No one dared to come out and intercept them. They were not fools. Looking at these angry policemen, if they really dared to go out, they would probably lose some parts of their bodies, and maybe even their lives.

As for the Japs' urging telegram, there are policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom. Just shoot as hard as you can along the way. Anyway, we did resist, but we couldn't stop them after the resistance. You can't kill us all, right?

At the same time, Japanese Ambassador to Peiping Hirohiro Ito set out from Peiping City and arrived in Tongzhou as quickly as possible to prepare to meet with Chief of Staff Cui.

Originally, the chief of staff wanted to let them wait for a while, but he was also afraid that the situation would really escalate and become out of control, which would not be of any benefit to us, so he met with the Japanese ambassador to Honpei at the Tongzhou County Government Office.

"Mr. Cui, we've already agreed on a non-aggression agreement. This is signed by our commander and your Commander Li. Commander Li just headed south, less than a day ago, and you've already breached our defenses and attacked our soldiers..."

When he met the chief of staff, Ito Hirohiro immediately began to speak and showed an aggressive attitude. However, the chief of staff sat calmly in the chair, tapping his cigarette box with his cigarette, and said, "Wait until you finish speaking, I'll speak later."

After a few minutes, Ito Hirohiro felt his mouth was dry. Looking at Chief of Staff Cui in front of him, he realized that he had lost his composure just now.

"Mr. Chief of Staff, are you really not afraid that the situation will escalate?"

Hirohiro Ito took a deep breath and tried to adjust his attitude.

"Mr. Ambassador, you probably don't know why our troops set out. This is the information we collected earlier. The father of one of our brothers was just going to the city to buy something when he was beaten by your soldiers for no reason. Now his life is in danger. Who breached the contract first?"

The Chief of Staff has collected information. There were three Japanese soldiers who beat people. They were from the guard team of the Japanese Office in Tangzhou.

"This was just a conflict. We will severely punish these three soldiers. Please, Chief of Staff, call your men back and refrain from creating a larger conflict..."
