Helplessly, Li Du had to think of another way. Fighting with the Japanese until now, if you talk about Haojie in the northeast, it is none other than Ma Zhanshan in the north, although he has retreated to the small town of Helen, but it is still expected by all. Li Du was afraid that he alone would not be convincing, so he took Ding Chao with him to meet Ma Zhanshan (who had not yet publicly surrendered to the enemy at this time), hoping that the two sides could establish a unified military structure to jointly resist the Japanese and puppet attacks.
In Li Du's view, Helen has the border guard army of Ma Zhanshan and the self-defense army of Harbin City, and if it is united, it will certainly be able to form an iron fist in northern Manchuria, and the situation of the entire northeast war of resistance will change. There is no doubt that this is indeed a far-sighted strategic proposal. However, on the one hand, Ma Zhanshan was no longer the same Ma Zhanshan during the Jiangqiao War of Resistance, and his thinking was in the midst of a sharp wave; on the other hand, a chronic disease of the generals in the northeast was also exposed at this time, that is, he was not united and liked to fight his own calculations.
During the Jiangqiao War of Resistance, Ma Zhanshan did not see the Northeast Army of neighboring provinces and regions come to help when he was in the most danger. In turn, seeing that harbin was full of crises, Ma Zhanshan was also prepared to sit idly by and not save. To Li Du's suggestion, Ma Zhanshan verbally agreed, but in fact he did not go to his heart at all. He took the initiative to propose to Li Du and Ding Chao that if necessary, troops should be sent to reinforce, and half a million rounds of ammunition should be subsidized to give them Yunyun, which was actually a blank cheque -- watching Li Du and them come from a long distance, they were embarrassed not to say something nice, but perfunctory.
In this way, any good advice is in vain, and Harbin is dangerous.
As soon as Yu Datou failed, the Kwantung Army's attempt to spend nothing, and the whimsical idea of taking the city of Ha was also frustrated. The puppet army is rotten, and it has to be the same as when jiangqiao was there, and we went up on our own.
Excuses are readily available. Jilin hit Harbin, Chinese fight Chinese, it is purely your internal affairs, we did not want to care, the problem is that we have too many overseas Chinese in Harbin, what to do if they are killed by stray bullets, and they have to be protected by soldiers. It is really a reason to add to it, and there is no excuse for it.
The Kwantung Army immediately reported to the General Staff Headquarters that it would send troops to Harbin to "protect overseas Chinese." The report was handed over to Vice President Masazaki. Maki was also a radical in waging war, and the lesson of the original chief of staff of Kanaya was there, "Look ahead and look backwards, cower and tail, and can't do great things", who is this talking about?
Since the reasons are "sufficient" and the Soviets dare not squeak, what are they waiting for? Agree, fully agree.
On January 28, 1932, at 4:00 a.m., a reply telegram from the General Staff Headquarters on consent was sent. Ten minutes later, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Honjo Shigeru, issued an order to the Second Division to march to the city of Ha. In view of the increasing clarity of Ma Zhanshan's attitude, the fourth mixed brigade, which was originally stationed in Qiqihar City, also took a train south to prepare for the attack of the Second Division from the north of The city.
The first of the 2nd Division was the 3rd Brigade stationed in Changchun. Brigade Commander Hasegawa was impatient to get on the bus, but when he looked down, he found that he could not go--the Soviet iron boss would not let him go.
According to the agreement of the Russo-Japanese War, the Middle East Railway was divided into two, with the Japanese in the south of Changchun to Lushun, and the north of Changchun to Harbin under the joint management of the Chinese and Soviet Union (in fact, the Soviets). The station manager of the Soviet railway station took out the document of that year and showed it to Hase, saying that if you look at the white paper and black characters on it, it is clear and clear, and it is clearly written that "the North Manchuria Railway is limited to industrial and commercial operations." This is a civilian railway, used for business, and cannot be used for military purposes, so I do not agree with you Japanese troops using my railway.
Hasegawa ignored it and raised his hand to dial the document far away. If you want to mix here, you have to listen to me, take these broken things to the Imperial Army, and there is no door.
When the station master listened, it was as if he had been poured a basin of cold water, from head to foot.
