Chapter 621: Master Lin, I heard something happened in Tianjin?
Peking, North China Front Army Headquarters.
Shanshanyuan had been busy until midnight and had just fallen asleep.
The servant suddenly pushed the door open and woke Shan Shanyuan up.
He subconsciously reached for his gun, and then saw the panicked attendant, and couldn't help but curse, "Baga! Don't you even have basic manners? I really should send you to the front line! To teach you what the rules are!"
"General! Haiguang Temple Barracks, Haiguang Temple Barracks..."
Shan Shanyuan's caterpillar-like eyebrows were tightly furrowed, making her round, boiled egg-like head look even funnier.
"Haiguang Temple Barracks? Damn it, tell me, what happened to Haiguang Temple Barracks?"
"The Haiguang Temple barracks was attacked. The enemy used poison gas bombs. We suffered heavy casualties!"
Shanshan got off the bed and said, "What?!"
He was totally confused. What was going on? Why was the Haiguang Temple barracks attacked? Who attacked the Haiguang Temple barracks? And why did poison gas bombs appear?
Could it be that the South sent planes to bomb and drop poison gas bombs?
This is impossible!
Not to mention whether they had poison gas bombs, even if they did, they sent planes to bomb. How did the planes fly across such a distant occupied area to Tianjin?
How did they drop poison gas bombs so accurately?
No matter what, Shanshanyuan has to make a decision.
"Let the temporary air force go on alert, order the Fifth Mixed Brigade stationed in Peking to go to Tianjin immediately, order the Haiguang Temple Barracks to gather the troops immediately and start medical treatment and rescue, order the Tianjin Military Police Command, the Special Service Department's Tianjin Office, the North China Liaison Department, the Tianjin Police Department and the Police Corps to immediately close Tianjin, and all military and police officers must go to the streets. Anyone who takes advantage of the chaos to cause trouble will be shot!"
"Hayi!"
"Call Chief of Staff Yamashita and Minister Matsuzaki."
"Hayi!"
...............
Half an hour later, the phone at Lin Mansion was almost blown up.
The first person to call was Matsuzaki, who asked, "Lin-san, what happened?"
Lin Ze was surprised and said, "You mean the explosion and gunshots? I've asked someone to check it out. It shouldn't be a big deal. It's quite calm outside."
Naoto Matsuzaki was furious, "Lin-san! Something serious has happened! The Kaikoji barracks was attacked by poison gas bombs!"
Lin Ze exclaimed, "Mr. Matsuzaki, this is fake news? Poison gas bombs, where did the poison gas bombs come from in Tianjin?"
"Alas! I didn't believe it at first, but the headquarters has repeatedly confirmed with Haiguang Temple that the symptoms the soldiers are experiencing are either caused by Lewis gas or mustard gas. This is a poison gas bomb attack!"
"Mr. Matsuzaki, what kind of qi are you talking about? Is there such a thing in Tianjin?"
"This is the problem. Not to mention Tianjin, even the whole of North China..."
At this point, Naoto Matsuzaki stopped talking again. After all, the storage and use of this kind of thing are military secrets.
"No matter what, you should immediately arrange for people to go to the streets and maintain order. As for the investigation... you'd better not interfere. The headquarters has already sent people over. By the way, what's the gunshot you mentioned?"
"Oh, it's from Zizhulin Wharf. We heard a burst of gunfire at night. We've sent people to check it out. We don't know if it was a fight between thugs or if the rebels were sabotaging something."
Compared with the incident of the barracks being attacked by poison gas bombs, the shooting at Zizhulin Wharf was simply not worth mentioning, and Naoto Matsuzaki quickly hung up the phone.
At this time, Niu Saner knocked on the door and came in, nodding to Lin Ze.
Lin Ze knew that the place had been cleaned up.
"Well, send some people to patrol the streets to maintain order, and tell the brothers that they have worked hard. It's New Year's Day, so give them an allowance... ten yuan per person, maybe."
"Yes!"
Before leaving, Niu Saner added, "Duan Wenxuan was also nearby. It was said that Zheng Xiaji arranged for him to patrol the Zizhulin Patrol Pavilion. The person leading the liaison department was shot and killed by him. The body has been taken back to Warehouse No. 29."
Lin Ze nodded, "This kid is meddling in everything."
"Also... Chen Xianzhou has been brought back to the office. Do you want to meet him?"
Lin Ze thought for a moment and said, "I'll be there in a minute."
As soon as Niu Saner left, the phone rang again. This time it was Kitahara Ransuke.
"Lin-san, why did such a big thing happen?"
"Kitahara-kun, I'm also confused! Matsuzaki called just now and said something about a poison gas attack and something like that. I listened for a long time but didn't understand. But what does this have to do with us? Let alone poison gas, even if there was a bomb attack in the barracks, it's not something that spies can do, right? Could it be that a small group of troops sneaked in from the south or west?"
"We can't rule out this possibility. I'm calling to remind you not to show off at this time and not to send anyone to the scene. The headquarters has already sent someone over there and they'll probably be there before daybreak. Don't act rashly, or they'll be able to hold you accountable."
"Don't worry, Kitahara-kun. Even though I can't go back to Peking for the New Year, I still want to get together with you."
Kitahara Ransuke hesitated for a moment, but still revealed: "This matter should be taken over by the front army headquarters personally. It has little to do with your special agent agency in Tianjin. When martial law is lifted, maybe you can come back."
"That would be great!"
After hanging up the phone with Beiyuan, Gao Shengping and others called again, and even President Wang called to inquire.
Lin Ze always answered "I don't know" and I was also very puzzled.
After dealing with them, I wanted to go to the office to see Chen Xianzhou's grandson, but the phone rang again.
Lin Ze picked up the phone impatiently, "Hello?"
Jiao Zhenguo was on the other side. He hesitated and said, "Master Lin, I heard something happened in Tianjin?"
Lin Ze didn't give a perfunctory answer this time. He said unhappily, "Something happened. Two major things happened. The Haiguang Temple barracks was attacked. Also, there was an exchange of fire with unknown people at Zizhulin Wharf. One group of people ran away. Xiao Duan was still patrolling nearby, but he didn't catch anyone. It was a waste of a good opportunity to make a contribution."
Jiao Zhenguo really didn't expect Lin Ze to explain it so clearly. He had been planning to beat around the bush, but now, all the words he had prepared were useless. He was stunned for a moment.
"Okay, I have something else to do, Lao Jiao, I won't talk to you for now."
"Hey, hey, you are busy, you are busy."
Jiao Zhenguo hung up the phone and let out a long sigh.
It seems that Xiao Duan was right, this was really a fishing trip.
According to Mr. Lin’s description, the comrades from Tianjin should have left, and Xiao Duan is fine.
But does the attack on the Haiguang Temple barracks that Mr. Lin mentioned have anything to do with what happened at Zizhulin Wharf tonight?
Having not had a good night's sleep for several days, Jiao Zhenguo simply stopped thinking about these things. He hummed a little tune and left the office to go to the dormitory at the back.
