Seeing that Miyazaki Kentaro still looked disapproving, his words and expressions were full of disdain for the Red Party's New Fourth Army, Imamura Hyoutaro didn't say anything, but directly opened the filing cabinet, pulled out a pile of documents and threw it to
he.
Cheng Qianfan took the document with both hands and opened it to read.
This is a stack of military intelligence records about the battle between the Imperial Locust Army and the New Fourth Army.
In June, the New Fourth Army attacked Hushuguan Station, an important imperial stronghold on the railway line, at night, annihilating more than fifty people under Imperial Guard Captain Yamamoto and a squadron of appeasement troops. At the same time, the New Fourth Army also blew up an iron bridge.
The explosion broke the rails, forcing transportation on the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway to be interrupted for three days.
In July, the New Fourth Army once again crossed the railway line and entered Qingpu, Shanghai, and fought four times within a week with the Qingpu security team, posing a great threat to the railway lines along Qingpu.
The New Fourth Army's entry into Qingpu was also a landmark event, which meant that the New Fourth Army had completely entered the western suburbs of Shanghai. This had a great impact on the empire's rule over Shanghai, especially the popular sentiment among the Chinese people in Shanghai.
The locust army in Shanghai is under great threat.
The empire immediately mobilized troops from various places, dispatched tanks, and armored vehicles to raid Qingpu Dongxiang.
In August, a fierce battle broke out between the Empire and the New Fourth Army near Guanyin Hall. The resistance of the New Fourth Army was very tenacious, and the locust army's military goal of sweeping away Guanyin Hall was thwarted.
According to imperial military statistics, the New Fourth Army has contained one-sixth of the Locust Army's strength in the occupied areas of central China.
In particular, half of the approximately twenty-six garrison troops deployed by the empire in central China regularly fought against the New Fourth Army. In addition, almost all of the nearly 100,000 "servant armies" of various types who defected to the empire were used to deal with the New Fourth Army.
According to statistics, in more than a year, the Locust Army has fought more than a thousand battles with the New Fourth Army, causing heavy losses.
…
"Nani!" Cheng Qianfan exclaimed, with an incredible expression in his eyes, "How can these poorly equipped peasant armies cause such a big problem to the locust army?"
"Although the Red Party's New Fourth Army has crude weapons and fewer numbers than the surrounding Kuomintang troops, they are determined to fight." Hyoutaro Imamura said with a serious expression, "The most important thing is that they will take the initiative to attack the Locust Army.
, instead of always fighting passively, this kind of military force must definitely be in the first strike sequence, do you understand?"
"Hai!" Cheng Qianfan nodded respectfully and said.
He understood what Hyoutaro Imamura meant. For those Chinese troops who ran around when encountering the locust army, it was just scabies and nothing to worry about. However, for those such as the Red Party and the New Fourth Army, they not only did not avoid it, but even
The Chinese army that takes the initiative to attack the locust army must focus its attacks to destroy the backbone of the Chinese army that dares to fight.
At this moment, Cheng Qianfan showed surprise. He actually saw a statistics on the results of the New Fourth Army's internal battles in this document.
This is a statistics showing the combat performance of the New Fourth Army from May of the 27th year of the Republic of China to the present.
Divided into captured results, blasting results, prisoners, and casualties between enemy and friend.
The seizure results are divided into: weapons and ammunition, military supplies and others.
The weapons and ammunition are divided into 3021 long guns, 164 short guns, 83 machine guns, 26 bayonets, 1 mortar, 1 small steel cannon, 6 grenades, 29 bombs, 1 poison gas bomb, and rifle grenades
2, 2 smoke grenades, 199 grenades, 84,041 rounds of ammunition, 7 boxes, 31 artillery shells, 16 boxes, etc.
The blasting results are also subdivided into combat equipment, transportation equipment, roads, electrical materials, etc.
These included destroying 1 enemy aircraft, 3 motorboats, 3 ships, etc.
91 Japanese soldiers and 1,449 puppet soldiers were captured.
The enemy suffered 13,317 casualties and ours suffered 3,953 casualties.
"This is impossible!" Cheng Qianfan was a little excited as he held the statistics sheet.
"Bag duck!" Imamura Hyōtaro scolded Miyazaki Kentaro, telling him to calm down, "Kentaro, you are too noisy!"
"Teacher, this report says that nearly a hundred Locust officers and soldiers were captured by the New Fourth Army!" Cheng Qianfan said emotionally, "They are spreading rumors. This is a slander and humiliation to the loyal and fearless Locust Army warriors."
"The Chinese army always likes to exaggerate its war results, so don't pay attention to it." Hyoutarou Imamura glanced at Kentaro Miyazaki and said calmly.
"Hai." Cheng Qianfan looked relieved when he heard what Imamura Hyoutarou said.
He was sneering in his heart.
On the one hand, Hyotarō Imamura was angry because of his disdain for the New Fourth Army, and reprimanded him to face up to the threats that the New Fourth Army might bring. On the other hand, he 'naturally' chose to slander the statistics of the New Fourth Army's results as deliberately exaggerating and spreading rumors.
.
The reason is very straightforward. The Japanese army has always been unwilling to admit that Japanese officers and soldiers were captured by the Chinese army. In the Japanese army's battle reports, the Japanese officers and soldiers were only brave warriors who fought bravely to bring glory to His Majesty the Emperor. There will never be any prisoners.
There will be no so-called 'deserters'.
…
"Chu Mingyu is still seeking the Executive Yuan?" Hyoutaro Imamura asked after taking a sip of tea.
"Yes, teacher." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Chu Mingyu's biggest wish is to take charge of the Executive Yuan."
As he said this, he couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, do you think Chu Mingyu has great hope?"
"Tell me your opinion first." Hyōtaro Imamura asked without answering.
Cheng Qianfan did not answer immediately, but thought for a while before saying, "Teacher, I still tend to think that Chu Mingyu has hope."
He paused and continued, "Chu Mingyu is still capable. The most important thing is that he is deeply trusted by Wang Quanhai and his wife..."
"At the appropriate time, you can persuade Chu Mingyu to seek the position of deputy dean." Hyoutaro Imamura shook his head and said.
"Vice dean..." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully, "Which dean is it, Chen Nanhai or Zhou Liang..."
He frowned slightly and looked at Hyōtaro Imamura, but when he saw Hyōtaro Imamura smiling, his heart moved, "What the teacher means is that Wang Qianhai will not delegate power, he will..."
"It's just speculation." Hyōtaro Imamura shook his head, "With Wang Qinhai's temperament..."
As he spoke, he smiled.
Cheng Qianfan nodded, understanding what Teacher Imamura meant.
Mr. Wang, who was crowned as a monkey, became more and more reluctant to give up power.
…
As the car drove through the streets of Hongkou, Cheng Qianfan sat in the back seat with his eyes closed and fell asleep.
During this visit to Hyōtaro Imamura, he came into contact with two important pieces of information.
First, according to Hyōtaro Imamura's judgment, Wang Takumi seems not to be at ease about handing over the position of President of the Executive Yuan to others, and he intends to concurrently hold the position of President of the Executive Yuan.
And based on Cheng Qianfan's understanding of Imamura Hyōtaro, this should not only be based on Imamura Hyōtaro's personal inference. In other words, it is possible that the Wang family has expressed similar demands to the Japanese side through some channels in a relatively subtle way.
Yes, Wang Chuanhai wants to concurrently serve as the president of the Executive Yuan as a 'leader', but it cannot be done without the nod of the Japanese.
There was another piece of information, which was the statistical table of the New Fourth Army's results that he saw in the document Imamura Hyoutarou and him looked at.
Judging from Cheng Qianfan's vision and experience, that report is true.
In other words, this is indeed a statistical report on the results of the New Fourth Army.
Such reports will only appear in the hands of staff at higher levels or in very critical positions.
So, the fact that the enemy actually had such a report on the results of the New Fourth Army in his hands had to make Cheng Qianfan highly vigilant. The more he thought about it, the more creepy he felt.
Was an important person arrested? Was this document captured by the enemy along with the comrade's arrest?
Or does it mean that the enemy obtained relevant information through some means?
If it is the latter, it means that there are important spies of the enemy within me.
Yes, the battle report itself may not be considered highly confidential, but the meaning behind this matter is not simple.
…
There was a squeak.
A sudden brake.
Cheng Qianfan's head hit the back of the seat. He almost subconsciously reached for his briefcase and pulled out his Browning pistol, his eyes dark and dangerous.
"Brother Fan, are you okay?" Haozi asked quickly.
"I'm fine." Cheng Qianfan said calmly, the finger of his right hand did not leave the trigger, and he looked at the front of the vehicle alertly.
This was when the mules in a mule cart suddenly became stubborn and blocked the road in the middle of the road. Haozi had to brake urgently.
Li Hao didn't get out of the car. The bodyguard vehicle stopped. The two people got out of the car and stood guard on both sides of Xiao Cheng's car. Hou Pingliang brought a man forward with a weapon to check the situation. The driver of the bodyguard vehicle did not turn off the engine.
Always be prepared for emergencies.
Bang bang bang.
Several gunshots were fired.
Cheng Qianfan raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He saw clearly in the car, as if he saw that the real owner did not get out of the car, and the other party could only take forceful action. The driver of the mule cart was about to pull out the short gun on his waist, and he
Hou Pingliang shot him in the arm and the gun fell to the ground.
At the same time, another bodyguard shot and killed the mule continuously.
This is the correct treatment. Mules are also a great danger.
Especially a frightened mule.
The gunshot startled a man behind a tree on the roadside. The man ran away. Hou Pingliang shot the man twice in the back. After being shot, the man gritted his teeth and ran away.
Hou Pingliang waved to another vehicle that was following him from a distance and was secretly on guard. He searched the surrounding area and confirmed that there was no danger. Then he asked Brother Fan to get out of the car and come over.
The injured coachman had been tied up with ropes.
Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette, and after taking a few puffs, he knelt down, slapped the assassin on the face with the gloves he had just taken off, and said, "Which way?"
The injured coachman said nothing.
Cheng Qianfan smiled brightly and said with a smile, "You have a strong bone."
As he said that, Cheng Qianfan took two puffs of cigarette, and then pressed the red and sparkling cigarette butt into the coachman's face, "Why bother."
A shrill scream came from the driver's mouth.
"Say, wo say, wo say."
"Wo, Wo are Boss Zhang's people."
…
At this time, Cheng Qianfan was indeed a bit unpredictable.
The person who assassinated him at the Bund Pier confessed that he was a member of the Sixth Group of the Military Tong Operation in Shanghai. It was the Military Tong who wanted to kill him.
After Cheng Qianfan thought about it carefully, he believed that the military commander should not take action against him at this time.
However, experience and intuition told him that the assassin named Xiang Wei was indeed a military commander in all likelihood, which also meant that the assassination on the Bund did come from the Shanghai District of the military commander.
As for the assassination attempt just now, the assassin who was captured alive quickly confessed.
Assassin Wu Mingfa, a Pengcheng native living in Shanghai, confessed that he was one of Zhang Xiaolin's men, and that he had assassinated "Mr. Xiao Cheng" of the French Concession on the orders of Boss Zhang's housekeeper Sui Ermu.
The torture room of the Central Patrol Room.
Cheng Qianfan looked at Wu Mingfa, who was tortured and bloody, with a gloomy and uncertain expression on his face.
There should be no problem with Wu Mingfa's confession and his confession is credible.
In other words, this person is indeed Zhang Xiaolin's man, and he came to assassinate him on the order of Zhang Xiaolin's housekeeper Sui Ermu.
However, Cheng Qianfan had a strange feeling. This feeling was that in this case, unless Zhang Xiaolin was crazy, he should not have sent someone to assassinate him at this time. This does not mean that Zhang Xiaolin didn't hate him.
, but to say that with Zhang Xiaolin's skill and hatred for him, in this situation where he had just been assassinated, he would either not choose to take action at this time, or once he did, he would use all his strength instead of sending
It took two crappy guys to do this.
Therefore, after interrogation, this attempted assassination incident seemed to be without any suspicion, but it was also mysterious.
Not far from Wu Mingfa, there was Xiang Wei, who was tied to the torture rack. This man was dead, and his death was strange——
This man was poisoned to death.
Lu Jiu took over his order and took Xiang Wei back from Jin Kemu. He tortured him again. Not long after, Xiang Wei became unconscious and foamed at the mouth.
Lao Huang, a medical officer with superb medical skills, first judged that Xiang Wei died of poisoning.
"Interesting", Cheng Qianfan glanced at Wu Mingfa who had passed out, and then at Xiang Wei who was poisoned to death. He muttered, and then gave a heavy cold snort.
Central Patrol Room, Chief Inspector's Office.
"Does Uncle Jin want to give his nephew an explanation for this matter?" Cheng Qianfan didn't have a cigarette in his mouth, nor did he hold a cigarette in his hand, but the lighter in his hand was flicking again and again.
He said with such a superficial smile.
…
No. 76, Jisfield Road.
"Director, after a preliminary search by my subordinates, no one with the nickname 'Little Taoist' was found." Rong Yunzai reported the secret investigation results to Su Chende.
"It doesn't matter whether you are a 'little Taoist priest'." Su Chende said thoughtfully, "It doesn't matter if the nickname contains 'Taoist priest' or 'Taoist chief'."
After a pause, he added, "Even a 'taoist nun' will do."
"Director," Rong Yun said, "My subordinates checked and found that there are six people with 'Taoist chiefs' and nine 'Taoist priests'."
As he said that, he gave a wry smile and said, "I'm so stupid that I didn't think of checking for anything with the word 'Taoist Nun' on it."
"However, my subordinates made an unexpected discovery during the secret investigation." Rong Yun said.
Su Chende nodded slightly and motioned for Rong Yun to continue.
"I won't talk about those fake Taoist priests with white faces, nor their nicknames like 'Taoist priests.'" Rong Yun said, "Many of those who are really good-natured have anti-Japanese tendencies."
