"Director Peng, there is news about the Third Independent Regiment." An Eighth Route Army cavalry soldier quickly dismounted and rushed in front of Peng Yuou who was inspecting the defense line.
Peng Yuou took the letter handed over by the soldier. It was a secret letter soaked in blood. His eyes paused for a moment, and then he opened it and read it.
The Japanese troops in the direction of Taiyuan suddenly made strange movements.
This directly stimulated the Japanese troops along the line to prepare for action.
With this back, the Third Independent Regiment lost contact with the Liao County garrison. Peng and Ou sent out all the cavalry on hand to inquire about the situation of the Third Independent Regiment.
This is a battle report dictated by Comrade Tang Zhongmin, deputy commander of the Third Independent Regiment, and written by Comrade Hong Ming, secretary of the Fanzhi County Party Committee.
The Third Independent Regiment was resting in Fanzhi and was attacked by the Japanese army in the middle of the night.
The two sides fought fiercely for six hours, and the Third Independent Regiment launched a breakthrough.
Regiment leader Nong Xuexiang and regiment chief of staff Zheng Guolu personally led the team to break out in two groups.
The regiment leader Nong Xuexiang died during the breakout. When the situation was very urgent, Comrade Zhang Min, the supply director, took over the command of the breakout. Unfortunately, he also died heroically. More than 80 commanders and fighters along the way were surrounded by Japanese troops and all died heroically.
Another group of breakout personnel led by the regiment chief of staff Zheng Guolu, not long after the breakout, the regiment chief of staff Comrade Zheng Guolu died, health captain Yang Shaokang, instructor Wu Xin, regiment instructor Lu Xiaoqi and others died one after another.
At the critical moment, deputy commander Tang Zhongmin commanded the remaining personnel to break out. Guard company commander Comrade Pan Xianqi took the initiative to lead the guard company to the rear. All members of the guard company sacrificed their lives. Only more than 20 members of the independent third regiment succeeded in breaking through, including deputy commander Tang Zhongmin.
Inside, all were injured.
After breaking through, Tang Zhongmin led the soldiers to the second-line position of the Japanese and puppet troops, where the puppet troops were stationed at machine gun positions, artillery positions and a small temple.
Tang Zhongmin did not hesitate at all and led his soldiers to launch an assault on the Japanese artillery position. The few remaining ammunition tilted towards the Japanese position. The Japanese army did not know what was happening and retreated one after another.
Subsequently, Tang Zhongmin led a team to attack the puppet army position in Xiaomiao. The puppet army was disarmed and captured without timely response.
In the end, more than 20 commanders and soldiers of the Third Independent Regiment changed into puppet uniforms and took advantage of the chaos to successfully break through.
…
"Where is Tang Zhongmin? How is he?" Peng Yuou asked immediately.
"Deputy Captain Tang was seriously injured and died."
Peng Yuou was stunned for a moment. He lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to wrap up the huge sadness and dissipate it with the smoke.
Comrade Tang Zhongmin's real name is Baixingshan, and he is his old comrade-in-arms. Comrade Baixingshan had previously used the pseudonym Fang Jinghua for a long time.
A name that once made enemies hate him to the core and make them fearful.
Peng Yuou looked carefully at the bloody letter in his hand. He wanted to find any private content, but he couldn't find it.
"Did Deputy Commander Tang say anything when he left?" Peng Yuou asked.
"Deputy Commander Tang said that he owes a comrade fifty oceans," the cavalry soldier said. "After the victory of the revolution, Director Peng returns to Shanghai and personally pays it to that comrade for him."
…
"Come on, come on, have a taste. This is a French meal that I invited the chef from the Recha Restaurant to cook at home." Cheng Qianfan warmly entertained Kawada Atsumu and Onodera Shogo.
"Miyazaki-kun, I came to visit you on the order of Commander Ikeuchi." Kawada Atsuto stabbed a piece of foie gras with a fork without paying attention to dining etiquette. He took a bite and said with a chuckle, "If you are
Your Excellency, Commander, knows that we are here to eat and drink, so I’m afraid it’s not good.”
"This is a private banquet, a family banquet." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "It's rare for Young Master Duren to come to the house, so I have to entertain him well no matter what."
"Let's talk while eating," Kawada Atsuhito said.
"Okay." Cheng Qianfan stood up and poured wine for Kawada Atsushi himself, while also filling Onodera Shogo's glass.
…
"What do you think about this matter?" Kawada Atsuhito told Miyazaki Kentaro what Junichiro Ikeuchi said.
Onodera Shogo also looked at Kentaro Miyazaki. He was quite satisfied with his answer when he faced Master Kawada's 'assessment', but he wanted to see how Kentaro Miyazaki performed.
"General Ikeuchi arranged for Onodera-kun to protect Master Atsuhito." Cheng Qianfan thought for a while and said, "This first shows that the commander is very aware that Onodera-kun is now Master Atsuhito's person, and he pointed this out directly.
."
"Why do you want to point this out?" Onodera Shogo couldn't help but ask. Of course, he was not disgusted with Miyazaki Kentaro saying that he was Master Atsuhito, but was instead happy.
"This point is pointed out precisely to point out the intention of arranging Master Atsuhito to join the investigation team." Cheng Qianfan said, he glanced at Onodera Shogo, "In other words, General Ikeuchi's intention is that he has something to say to Kawada
Your Excellency said."
Hearing this, Onodera Shogo frowned. He didn't understand the meaning of this, why it was related to Kawada Yuki again.
"The fire in the military police warehouse is very likely to involve a large-scale corruption incident, which will have a bad impact on Commander Ikeuchi," Cheng Qianfan said.
Onodera Shogo nodded, that was indeed the case.
Such things happened within the Gendarmerie. If the warehouse fire is just an incident that can be digested internally, if it is really proved that there is large-scale corruption and personal enrichment within the Gendarmerie Headquarters, the impact of this matter will be
This will not only be limited to the Military Police Headquarters, but Commander Junichiro Ikeuchi will also be adversely affected.
"For the Commander himself, these are all negative impacts." Cheng Qianfan said, "However, for some people within the Military Police Headquarters, especially those responsible for investigating the case, if the facts can be successfully investigated,
Uncovering the mastermind behind the scenes, or even the mastermind who exists within the Military Police Headquarters, will be a great achievement and will add a strong mark to his resume."
As he said that, he looked at Kawada Atsuhito and said, "Of course, Master Atsuhito deserves the credit for this."
He looked at Onodera Shogo again, smiled and said, "Of course, Onodera-kun is also a member of the investigation team, and he also gets a share of the credit."
…
Onodera Shogo glanced at Kentaro Miyazaki. The words Kentaro Miyazaki said were quite similar to his analysis at that time.
This made him couldn't help but take a closer look at Kentaro Miyazaki, a guy from a commoner background.
Although he came from an ordinary background, it is said that Kentaro Miyazaki was a disciple of Professor Hiroyuki Taniguchi, a famous scholar in the empire. Therefore, it is not surprising that Miyazaki-kun behaved like this.
However, he was still a little puzzled as to why Miyazaki Kentaro still mentioned Kawada Atsuhito's father, the current patriarch of the Kawada family, and member of the Imperial House of Nobles, His Excellency Kawada Yusuke?
Atsuto Kawada raised his wine glass, clinked it with Kentaro Miyazaki, and said with a smile, "Miyazaki-kun, you really did not disappoint me."
As he spoke, he took a sip of wine and sighed, "Miyazaki-kun is very talented, just like Zheng Zhi, he is quite talented."
"I have a dull talent. I was taught by Master Taniguchi first, and then Imamura." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "I was also taught by Master Atsushi and taught by words and deeds, so I made some progress."
Kawada Atsuhito laughed loudly, listen, this is Miyazaki-kun, he can talk, no wonder he likes Kentaro Miyazaki as a friend.
Onodera Shogo toasted to the side and joined in the fun. He smiled and tried his best to behave in line with everyone's expectations, so as not to reveal the embarrassment of not seeing through the hidden meaning.
Cheng Qianfan smiled and clinked glasses with Onodera Shogo, and continued, "His Excellency, Commander Ikeuchi, had a good plan. He promised Young Master Atsuhito's meritorious service, but he wanted Lord Kawada to speak well of him in Tokyo to cover up Shanghai.
An accident here."
When Onodera Shogo heard this, he suddenly realized that this was the case.
Then he felt annoyed in his heart. He had already thought that Junichiro Ikechi arranged Kawada Atsuhito into the investigation team in order to give credit to Kawada Atsushi, but he failed to think further. He saw that this was just a layer of window paper.
.
…
Annoyed, Onodera Shogo looked at Kentaro Miyazaki, and his impression of this man was further refreshed.
At the beginning, when he was in Qingdao, after learning the true identity of "Cheng Qianfan", Onodera Shogo's impression of Miyazaki Kentaro was not only lamenting the success of this man's latent work, but also the relationship between Miyazaki Kentaro and the Kawada family.
, he is more willing to regard Miyazaki Kentaro as a clown-like character who is trying to please Kawada Atsuto.
However, as he became more familiar with Kentaro Miyazaki, especially after coming to Shanghai, he got to know more about 'Cheng Qianfan' and felt more deeply that 'Mr. Little Cheng' was in Shanghai, especially in France.
Onodera Shogo had a new understanding of the power, status, and influence of the concession. He had a new understanding of this powerful guy who was good at dancing.
He must admit that it is very rare for an imperial agent to be as successful as Miyazaki Kentaro in hiding.
Not to mention anything else, as 'Cheng Qianfan', he can become 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' in Shanghai where the French, the Empire, the Shanghai Green and Red Gang, and other forces including the British and Americans are mixed.
, this is something that many excellent imperial agents find difficult to do easily.
Kentaro Miyazaki is a very good imperial agent. This is Onodera Shogo's evaluation of Kentaro Miyazaki.
And now, Kentaro Miyazaki has taught him another profound lesson!
He, Shogo Onodera, and even the children of the minor aristocracy did not see through Zheng Zhi's methods.
This made Shogo Onodera look at him with admiration.
Cheng Qianfan refilled Kawada Atsuhito's glass, and then poured wine for Onodera Shogo.
Onodera Shogo hurriedly took the jug, poured wine for himself, and also refilled Kentaro Miyazaki's glass.
Miyazaki-kun is extraordinary!
…
"Miyazaki-kun is indeed extraordinary." Onodera Shogo said with a smile, "I didn't see through the most important joint."
As he said that, he smiled bitterly and said, "Ashamed."
Then he said, "I admire you so much."
Onodera Shogo raised his glass.
"Ashamed, I've made a fool of myself." Cheng Qianfan clinked glasses with Onodera Shogo, but his inner evaluation of this person suddenly rose a lot.
"Is there anything wrong with the cargo list provided by Peter?" Kawada Atsuhito asked.
"There is nothing wrong with the cargo list." Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said, "Of course, the goods themselves may not be that valuable, but the current market price can indeed be as high as two hundred thousand silver dollars."
He smiled and said to the two of them, "This is how luxury goods are. The more in demand, the more people are after them, and the higher the price, the more people will rush to buy them."
Kawada Atsushi nodded slightly. The Kawada family was a great noble in Japan, so he naturally knew about this.
Onodera Shogo also nodded. He understood what Kentaro Whitezaki meant. This batch of goods was far less valuable, but there was no way. Luxury goods were priceless, and the price followed the market. The Military Police Headquarters wanted to find out the price of the goods.
I am afraid that not only will it be impossible to lower the price, but I will be surprised to find that the value of those luxury goods is far more than 200,000 silver dollars.
"For this batch of goods worth 200,000 silver dollars, Miyazaki-kun thinks that the Military Police Headquarters should solve the matter. How should we proceed?" Onodera Shogo couldn't help but ask.
"This batch of goods belongs to Pete's French trading company, or it can be said that this batch of goods was originally shipped from France in the name of Jiujiu Trading. However, Pete was too greedy, and he directly took away the goods at his own expense.
Most of the cargo." Cheng Qianfan said.
"I understand." Onodera Shogo nodded, "Miyazaki-kun means that Peter personally contributed the money, which means that this batch of goods occupies a considerable amount of Peter's personal property."
"As expected of Mr. Onodera." Cheng Qianfan said seriously, "If this batch of goods is from Jiujiu Trading, Pete will not be too anxious, because there are too many interests involved behind Jiujiu Trading. Pete knows that even the Military Police Headquarters,
We certainly dare not not compensate Jiujiu Trading for its losses."
He took a sip of red wine and said, "Now, this batch of goods belongs to Pete himself, so the impact seems to be smaller. However, precisely because this batch of goods belongs to Pete, he purchased the goods with real money..."
As he spoke, he chuckled.
This is a kind of gloating smile, "Pete will never give up. He will desperately seek compensation from the Military Police Headquarters and mobilize all his connections and methods in the French Concession, without hesitation."
…
Onodera Shogo nodded slightly, he understood and understood.
If you put yourself in his shoes, if this batch of goods belonged to him and were purchased with real money, he would definitely be fighting for justice.
However, understanding is understanding, understanding is understanding, but Peter, a Frenchman, actually wants to claim compensation from the empire——
How dare you take worthless goods and falsely claim them to be worth 200,000 silver dollars. This is blackmail!
"Why are you so gloating about your misfortune?" Atsushi Kawada suddenly pointed at Kentaro Miyazaki and asked with a smile, "Pete is your partner, and the one being sued is the Imperial Military Police Headquarters."
"There is no need to gloat." Cheng Qianfan opened his eyes to tell lies. He looked at Kawada Atsuhito and suddenly said with a serious expression, "Young Master Atsuhito, I personally think that Peter's claim for compensation is a normal and reasonable claim and should be fully compensated.
Understand and respect.”
