What is causing trouble?
On the quiet road, I heard several knocks on the door from time to time. Looking down the sound, you can see five people dressed as monks walking on the road. They beat the flat drums, stopped and looked around from time to time. The five Japanese monks, headed by Tanizaki Jusheng and Xiu Xiu Shuifu, and the other three are Fujii Ji Guo, Goto Fangping and Heiyan Chaojiro.
Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd. is a famous domestic product industry in Shanghai. They are famous for producing triangle brand towels with high quality and low price. After "September 18th", the workers in this factory automatically organize volunteers to practice every day, and their interest is very high.
The unusual furtive behavior of these monks attracted the attention of workers and volunteers. They immediately sent someone to target these monks. The monk saw someone following him and ran away. When they ran near Zhao Jiaxiang, the workers stopped them for questioning.
At this time, a group of unidentified people, disguised as workers, joined the ranks of Sanyou social workers. They waved their fists and rained down on the monks, and some even picked up the boundary markers on the roadside and threw them at the monks. Several monks were injured, and three people immediately fled to Donghua cotton mill run by the Japanese not far away. One of them later died of his injuries. Unidentified "workers" ran away after hitting people.
This sensational "Japanese monk incident" in Shanghai became the fuse of the "1.28" incident.
The masterminds behind the "Japanese monk incident" are Japanese female spy Chuan Dao Liangzi and assistant military attache Tanaka Takashi of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai.
Kawashima Yoshiko, formerly known as the daughter of Prince Su of the Qing Dynasty. At the age of 6, when the Revolution of 1911 broke out, she lost her aristocratic status. Soon, she became the adopted daughter of Chuan Dao Su Lang, a Japanese spy, and went to Shinshu Women's High School in Japan for education.
Her special experience, specialty and activity ability immediately caught the attention of the Japanese military. The military specially trained her as a spy, which enabled her to learn many skills such as shooting and riding.
1927165438+10, Japan planned "Manchu-Mongolian independence". Chuan Dao Yoshiko was sent back to China and arranged for her to marry Ganzhur Chabu, the son of the Mongolian maharaja, to control the puppet. Unexpectedly, the Huanggutun car bombing incident caused an uproar in world public opinion, and the "Manchu-Mongolian independence" movement died. The marriage relationship between Kawashima Yoshiko and Ganzhuchabu was immediately dissolved and returned to Japan. Before and after the September 18th Incident, she was appointed by the Japanese secret service and came to China again.
1932, the kwantung army planned to concoct Manchukuo in the northeast. In order to hide people's eyes and ears and divert international attention, Sakamoto Seijiro found Takashi Tanaka in Shanghai and gave him an activity fee of 20,000 yen to make an excuse for Japan to send troops to Shanghai. To do this, Tanaka naturally thought of Kawashima Yoshiko.
Shanghai, an oriental metropolis, is a paradise for adventurers.
On many occasions in Shanghai, a mysterious girl often appears. She is romantic and chic, petite and exquisite. Those big black eyes are flashing. When a man sees it, his soul will be hooked by her. She disguised herself as a man and then showed her chest and arms; One moment he is a knight, the other he is a dancer. She can often be seen in salons of political dignitaries, serious classes in schools, heavily guarded military barracks, and murderous strongholds of the Green Red Gang. At this time, 26-year-old Kawashima Yoshiko is moving towards maturity and sophistication. In her frequent activities and extensive contacts with all walks of life, she mainly collected information, followed by organizational sabotage, bribing traitors and spreading rumors. The accuracy of the information she spied was even highly appreciated by Japanese leaders in Shanghai, such as Ji Ze, Masaaki Shirakawa and Okamura Ningji.
The "Japanese monk incident" was the first step for Kawashima Yoshiko to send troops to Shanghai under the pretext.
These monks belong to the Japanese "Japanese Lotus Word" school. "Japanese Lotus Seed" is a school of Buddhism that evolved after China Buddhism spread to Japan. Its right wing is famous for engaging in assassination activities. Kawashima Yoshiko used these people to "get burned", and those who pretended to be "workers" were traitors she bought.
The anti-Japanese sentiment of Sanyou Industrial Society has long aroused the concern and dissatisfaction of the Japanese in Shanghai. Originally, the iron anchor brand towel produced by Donghua Cotton Mill of Japanese merchant could not compete with the triangle brand towel produced by Sanyou Society, and the two sides had long-standing grievances. After "September 18th", Sanyou social workers organized volunteers and even aroused the hatred of the Japanese Marine Corps. It is premeditated that Kawashima Yoshiko chose to make trouble here.
In the second step, they used the "Japanese monk incident" to burn down the Sanyou factory and made a big fuss about it.
65438+1At 2 o'clock in the morning on October 20th, more than 70 people of the "Japan Young Gay Association" angrily went to Sanyou Industrial Society to "take revenge". When they passed Linqing Road, the Chinese on duty patrolled to dissuade them, and they immediately began to beat people. Chinese catcher Tian Runsheng died on the spot, and Chinese catcher Zhu Wulan called the police. Two fingers were cut off from the hand holding the receiver.
The fence around Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd. was pried open, and they poured gasoline and kerosene on the wall of the factory building and lit it. The fire immediately went up into the sky. It's not enough. I won't stop until I blow it up with a Grenade.
Third, in the afternoon, they held a meeting on the third floor of the Japanese club in the concession, demanding that the Japanese authorities and the Japanese Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai send troops to intervene and "protect overseas Chinese".
After the meeting, more than 1000 thugs held sticks and, under the cover of the Marine Corps, demonstrated arrogantly on Wusong Road and North Sichuan Road. Many shops along the way were smashed by them with sticks, trams were blocked by them, and the patrolman on duty was beaten again.
After this "trilogy" was sung, the air in Shanghai immediately became tense, and the excuse for the Japanese army to attack Shanghai planned by Kwantung Army was finally created.
65438+ October 23rd. In Longhua garrison headquarters.
19 the main officers of the route army and Longhua garrison headquarters are here, including commander-in-chief Jiang Guangnai, 19 the commander of the route army Cai Tingkai, the garrison commander Dai Ji, and the officers of their subordinate units.
Coldly commander Cai Tingkai stood up, glanced at everyone, and said to everyone in a low and firm tone, "The Japanese have been finding fault with us everywhere in Shanghai these days, oppressing us everywhere, harassing shops, insulting people, and sending more troops, planes and motherships to Shanghai. This is a great attempt to occupy Shanghai." "Brothers only have a firm heart and are willing to live and die with everyone."
Commander Dai Ji said publicly: "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. What is the plan for success or failure? What is the theory of life and death? Only by doing our duty as a soldier, defending our country and resisting aggression will we fight to the death with the Japanese slaves. "
Finally, Commander Jiang Guangnai instructed: "Our death can awaken the soul of China, and our blood can cool the internal organs of the enemy." "We know that we are no match for the Japanese aggressors materially, but this sincerity can open a road to victory, not to mention that we still have 20,000 to 30,000 people. Really can't save China? "
On the same day, a letter signed by Chen, Jiang Guangnai, Cai Tingkai and four generals told all officers and men of 19 Route Army that it was circulated among officials and guests, and the officers and men of 19 Route Army were full of blood. The statement said:
"Looking at China, the territory becomes discolored. In five thousand, Emperor Hua Tuo will become a slave, and horses and cattle will be beyond redemption. It is tolerable, and it is intolerable. If I don't save myself, who can save me? ! "
"We just used our patriotic blood to dye our last glorious history for emergency. Only by burying our martyr spirit in the hearts of 40 million people who have not died, will we not turn back. Whether we are defeated or blunt, we will die with one knife and one shot! "
"The god of freedom has sounded, and the blood that saves lives is boiling. We don't want to feel that our materials are inferior to others. We will overcome everything with great sacrifice, we will surely win, and we will surely save China. Brothers, brothers! Charge! We will always seek the final survival and victory in a pool of blood. We shouted together: Kill! Kill! Kill! "
The Chinese nation has always been inviolable! 19 all officers and men of the route army mobilized. They are determined to die in battle at any time, ready to meet the invading enemy with blood and life.
Japan stepped up its preparations for invading Shanghai.
As soon as the "Japanese monk incident" happened, the first Japanese expatriate commander, Yukichi Yanzawa, put forward four demands to Shanghai Mayor Wu Tiecheng. Wu Tiecheng humbly accepted all these unreasonable demands. However, the tense air has not eased, and the situation is more severe.
On the evening of October 23rd, 65438+ year 10, the Japanese light cruisers "Dajing" and 15 expelled 457 marines and special marines to Shanghai.
654381October 24th, the Japanese seaplane carrier "Nenglin" arrived in Shanghai.
65438+1At 20: 00 on October 28th, Koichi Iwasawa made a further unreasonable request, demanding that China's troops withdraw from Chuanbei Road, demolish fortifications and be stationed by Japanese troops.
At 2 1: 30, some Japanese troops landed. After meeting the Marines who were originally in the concession, they assembled at Tiantong 'an Railway Station in the night.
At 23: 30, Yanze ordered the invasion of Shanghai North Railway Station, preparing to cut off the military transportation of China defenders and expand foreign concessions.
