Chapter one hundred and eighty first blood loss
Huangmao Town is located on the side of the main road leading from Hongdu, Ganzhou, to Tanzhou, Hunan Province, but on both sides of the road about three kilometers west of the town, there are hundreds of people ambushing the grass on the hillside.
The firepower is quite powerful, equipped with Czech ZB-26 light machine guns, German-made MP18 submachine guns and mausoleum guns. There were more than a dozen trucks parked in the woods in the distance, and someone was guarding next to the radio.
This is the Military Bureau's Random Forces selected by Dai Li from the Zhongyi National Salvation Army. They are all veterans who have experienced many battles. Although there are not many, their combat effectiveness is quite strong. Major General Wu Gengshu, who fled back to the headquarters, served as the captain.
The Rangers performed secret missions of the headquarters, for example, this time, they were going to ambush the Southeast Trading Company's transportation convoy.
Southeast Trading Company is a special agency established by Mei agency to earn activity funds for the agents headquarters, and is also Li Shiqun’s largest source of income. Mei agency dispatched Nobuic Nakajima from the Special High School Class to supervise all aspects of the transaction.
The company purchased cotton yarn, hardware, Western medicine, rubber tires and other materials in the Shanghai market, and continuously transported them to Hangzhou to a certain amount. The local Japanese army issued a dispatch department and entered Hunan Province through Hongdu to exchange materials with merchants from the Guotong District.
Southeast Trading Company sold the exchanged tung oil, rosin, bristles, wood and other materials to Japanese merchants at the market price, and the difference belongs to the agent headquarters.
"Captain, has the information in Hongdu deviated? We waited here for more than two hours, but we didn't see the transport convoy coming." asked the captain of the First Rangers.
"This is the main road to Tanzhou. Since the transportation team has arrived in Hongdu, there is no reason not to come. The road may have been delayed and it is difficult to walk around. We must be a little patient." Wu Gengshu shook his head and said.
Without waiting for Chen Mingxiang to report the transportation information of the Southeast Trading Company, Dai Li ordered the Hangzhou Station of the Military Intelligence Bureau to secretly monitor the Southeast Trading Company's convoy and report the situation at any time.
The Military Administration had known that the convoy had set off in the past few times, but he endured it and did not take action. He was just surveillance along the way. On the one hand, the goods were not worth enough, so this kind of thing could not be done frequently, so it would be bad to alert the enemy.
On the other hand, we have to paralyze the convoy of Southeast Trading Company, and also paralyze Li Shiqun, making them think that this road is safe and used to walking here and getting into the trap step by step.
But this time it is different. According to the Hangzhou Station report, the fleet consists of twenty trucks, more than half of the cargo is twenty cotton yarn, about one thousand pieces. This one alone costs two million French dollars, and several trucks of tires and Western medicine!
Dai Li was overjoyed after receiving the information. This batch of goods is worth taking action. For example, cotton yarn can increase at least 50% of the profit in the Kuomintang-controlled area, and there is no problem of quadruple tires and Western medicines.
He immediately wanted to lead a ranger to find a suitable place at the junction of Hunan and Jiangxi to rob the batch of Western medicine, cotton yarn and tires.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared on the hill and the mirror reflected. This is a commonly used contact method.
"The fish bites the hook, tell the brothers to hurry up and prepare for the battle, don't let a living go, be careful, don't smash the goods, our Military Affairs Bureau is very poor now, and Boss Dai is waiting for the rice to be put into the pot!" Wu Geng said.
Others may not know, but as a major general of the Military Affairs Bureau, he is very clear about the financial situation of the bureau headquarters. In fact, the Ministry of Finance of the Shancheng Government only allocated 50,000 yuan of fiat currency per month as office funds, but this number is not enough for the monthly application fee of the Military Affairs Bureau Shanghai Stock Exchange District!
The salary of thousands of internal staff and field office workers, the activity fees for performing tasks, and the rental fees for houses in secret bases of each brigade. As prices soar, the application for fees in May actually cost 280,000 yuan, and Dai Li was also worried.
Will there be suspense in this battle?
The 120-person military commander's commander's team is equipped with such strong firepower and has a geographical advantage. It has more than 80 people, including the driver, and only a short gun. If it loses, the people from the squad will die, and they will be ashamed to death.
At least when Chen Mingxiang went to Li Shiqun's office to deliver dividends at the end of the month, he heard the sound of smashing porcelain from the office, and Li Shiqun's hysterical scolding.
"Xiao Meimei, what happened? Who has offended Director Li again? He actually got such a big temper?" Chen Mingxiang slipped into Chen Gengmei's office and asked in a low voice.
Boss Dai arranged this action, and there was no need to notify Chen Mingxiang in advance. Anyway, no matter whether the action was successful or failed, it would soon reach his ears, so this guy was unaware of it.
I thought that the Operation Corps and the Guard Corps had another dispute over what was going on, which angered Li Shiqun and was pissing off a tantrum!
"It's so miserable now. I just received news from Hongdu that a batch of valuable goods from the Southeast Trading Company was robbed on the border of Hunan and Jiangxi!"
"Our agent headquarters suffered heavy losses. Not only did this batch of goods worth more than three million French currencies be lost, the escort personnel were wiped out, and fifteen trucks were also stolen!"
"But the intelligence personnel at the agents' headquarters in Hunan and Jiangxi not only did not hear the wind in advance, but they still did not understand what forces were acting. Director Li was so angry that he smashed the teacup and teapot all the time." Chen Gengmei whispered.
This is more than three million French currency goods, not more than three hundred yuan. Even if Li Shiqun's entire possessions at this time, there would not be so much money. Half of the goods were purchased by the Mei agency.
The problem is that the Mei agency can afford to lose, but Li Shiqun can't afford to lose!
With more than one million yuan in procurement funds, Ye Jiqing used the funds from the agent headquarters and even received a portion of the cash from the newly established Litai Money House. Now, he lost all his money.
"How could this happen? Wasn't it quite smooth during the previous few transportations?"
Chen Mingxiang knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. This must be Boss Dai's masterpiece. He was busy building a purchase station and a tobacco factory, and forgot about collecting shipping information from Southeast Trading Company.
The headquarters probably understood that he was too busy, so he directly focused on the transfer station in Hangzhou. When he found that the goods were transported, he set up an ambush and set up a transportation team in the middle of the journey.
"Chen Sang, you are here too. Let's go to Li Sang's office to chat together." Haruka said in anger, standing at the door, followed by the second Lieutenant Nobuichi Nakajima with a pale face.
Such a big thing happened, Li Shiqun of course wanted to report to Mei's agency. When he heard this news, Qing Zuo was also shocked. He involved more than one million yuan in funds, so he hurried to the agents headquarters.
Chapter completed!
