The Japanese Air Force somehow repeatedly bombed, strafed and strafed the convoy of the Japanese consulate...... The convoy of the consulate brazenly intruded into the military restricted area under the responsibility of our 159th Division......

The officers and men of our 159th Division scrupulously abided by international law and did not fire a single shot, but under the indiscriminate bombardment of Japanese Air Force bombers and fighters, the consulate convoy was all hit and overturned......

In the spirit of international humanitarianism, the officers and men of our 159th Division rescued the convoy of the consulate and rescued Toshihiro Aoyama, military attache of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, Hirono Kinoshita, a consular employee, and Riri Ohnogawa, the driver, and the rest were killed......

After simple treatment, three survivors were rushed to the nearest field hospital, among them, Toshihiro Aoyama was injured by bombs in multiple places, and was hit by two machine gun bullets from the aircraft, one in the thigh and one in the abdomen, and died after rescue efforts failed...... Kinoshita Hirono and Ono Kawari, who were rescued by doctors with all their might, survived.

Now, in front of you, are bullets, shrapnel, and evidence taken from Toshihiro Aoyama.

Our national government expresses its condolences to the victims, and expresses its strong dissatisfaction and protest against the convoy of the Japanese consulate that brazenly and forcibly entered the restricted military zone of our country. ”

Shanghai Mayor Yu Hongjun briefed reporters on the entire incident.

Because the incident occurred on September 23, it was again called the "September 23 Incident".

"Mr. Mayor." A journalist asked: "Why did the Japanese Air Force bomb the consulate convoy?" ”

"Mr. Reporter, I think you're asking the wrong person this question." Yu Hongjun replied lightly: "This, you should ask the Japanese Air Force to go." ”

"Mr. Mayor, according to reliable sources, after the convoy of the Japanese consulate overturned, Chinese agents appeared at the scene and shot or kidnapped Kong Rusen, a high-ranking Chinese general who escaped from the car and attempted to defect, is there such a thing?"

"This is a baseless slander, and we strongly deplore this rumor." Yu Hongjun raised his voice slightly: "Besides, assuming that this rumor is true, everyone, the place where the incident took place is not in the public concession, but on the territory of China, when that, who?" ”

"Kong Rusen."

"Yes, Kong Rusen, the moment he got out of the car and stepped on the land with both feet, it meant that he had stepped on Chinese territory. I would like to ask you, our agents, whether it is against international law to arrest a Chinese on their own soil, or to shoot a Chinese to death? Is this an internal matter for us Chinese? ”

At 6 p.m. on 24 September, Consul General of the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai Kimasa Okamoto held a press conference on the "23 September Incident" to brief him on the situation.

The Japanese side's briefing explained that the Japanese consulate convoy went out to carry out consular duties, and in the middle of the journey, because of incorrect intelligence, the Japanese Air Force mistakenly bombed the consulate convoy, and the driver of the convoy mistakenly entered the Chinese military restricted zone because he was not familiar with the road.

Twenty-two Japanese, including military attache Toshihiro Aoyama, were killed, and the survivors were Hirono Kinoshita, a consular employee, and Ri Ohnokawa, a driver.

The Japanese side expressed its gratitude to the Chinese side for its active rescue efforts. And a few hours ago, Kinoshita Hirono and Onokawa Ri had already been taken back to the Japanese consulate.

However, it will not say what attitude it will take towards the strong protest of the Chinese government, as the incident is still under further investigation.

Kinoshita Hirono and Rii Onokawa have been taken back to the public concession.

At the same time, Okamoto expressed a stern refutation of the rumor that the convoy contained a high-ranking Chinese defector, firmly denying that the Japanese consulate had sheltered any Chinese military general.

Well, that's the end of the incident.

The Japanese just expressed their gratitude to the Chinese side for treating the wounded, apologized? That was a matter of conflict between the two governments, and no one expected Japan to really apologize.

Kong Rusen?

Who is Kong Rusen?

The Japanese side has denied the existence of Kong Rusen, and the Chinese side resolutely refuses to admit any rumors such as Kong Rusen being kidnapped and shot.

It's a tacit understanding.

What is the truth?

Truth represents something that will be submerged forever.

The Japanese suffered a dumb loss.

And it's a big loss.

The Japanese consulate accused the army of indiscriminately bombing the consulate convoy without knowing the truth, because it bears full responsibility for the incident.

Matsui Ishone, the commander of the angry Japanese Shanghai Dispatch Army, angrily replied that the Japanese Army Air Force was only carrying out necessary combat missions, and the root cause was that the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai trusted the Navy and did not make any communication with the Army.

The Navy was then also involved.

The three parties blamed each other and made a lot of trouble. Later, the Japanese government had to directly intervene to mediate the conflict.

In the end, the three sides made concessions to each other, and unanimously agreed that the decision was made by Toshihiro Aoyama, military attache of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, which led to the tragedy of the accidental bombing incident.

There is always a need for scapegoats.

The hapless Toshihiro Aoyama......

As the real "mastermind" behind the "September 23" incident, Meng Shaoyuan was not rewarded for completing the impossible task and successfully assassinating Kong Rusen.

After all, there is no light in sight.

On the contrary, he received the second medal of his life for commanding agents and assisting the 952nd Regiment in the total annihilation of the Japanese Hamatani Infantry Squadron:

Because of "planning the battle and winning the opportunity", he was specially awarded the fourth-class special collar ribbon Yunlu Medal to Meng Shaoyuan!

At the same time, Dai Li, in the name of the military commander, rewarded Meng Shaoyuan with 5,000 legal currency.

You Dai boss has a good calculation, Young Master Meng deceived the Japanese of 8.4 million yen before and after, and divided your boss Dai 4 million, you are good, reward me with 5,000 legal currency.

"Mr. Dai, the whole people are fighting against Japan, and the country is in difficulty." Meng Shaoyuan was worried about the country and the people: "I can't collect the 5,000 legal currency, please donate it to the government." ”

"You, Meng Shaoyuan, really didn't make me mistaken." Dai Li kept exclaiming: "By the way, Shaoyuan, we have to settle the account." ”

"Mr. Dai, what do we have to do with it?"

"You cheated a total of nine million from Minoru Kusunoki, right?"

"Yes."

"Gave Minoru Kusunoki 600,000 kickbacks?"

"Yes."

"Then you actually got 8.4 million?"

"Yes."

"How much did you give me?"

"Four million."

"There is a problem with this account, Meng Shaoyuan, you are 200,000 less than me."

"Isn't it, Mr. Dai?" Meng Shaoyuan couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "You have to worry about me for 200,000? ”

"It's said that one person and half can't lose a penny." Dai Li's face was calm: "Also, there is interest on the money in the bank, and there must be interest on it." I'm not black-hearted, you give me 500,000 and forget it. ”

"Mr. Dai, you are more black-hearted than a loan shark, it's only been a few days, you want me to pay 300,000 interest?" If it weren't for Mr. Dai standing in front of him, Meng Shaoyuan was afraid that he would jump up on the spot:

"No, no, I've fallen for your trick. When I gave you 4 million, you deliberately didn't say that it was less than 200,000, and dug a pit here waiting for me to jump? ”

This is good, only he, Young Master Meng, has always dug a pit for people to jump, but now he has jumped into the pit that Mr. Dai had dug a long time ago.

Loan sharks aren't that ruthless.

"Mr. Dai." Meng Shaoyuan had a bitter face: "It stands to reason that all this money belongs to the military commanders, but it's difficult for me, the brothers in front of me are fighting and sacrificing, and this is all silver spent in vain." You said that since the start of the war in Shanghai, not only did I not ask you for a penny, but I tried my best to find money for you, and now you ......"

"Shaoyuan, I know it's hard for you, but it's even harder for me." Dai Li sighed softly: "You are only in charge of your subordinates, and I am in charge of the entire military command and the entire Chinese intelligence organization." You just need to take care of this mess in Shanghai, what about me? If you look at the whole country, the Japanese won't stop advancing when they hit Shanghai, right?

You gave me four million, a lot, but when it comes to various departments, districts, and stations, there is not much. I wasn't going to ask you for this money, but yesterday, Wuhan directly asked me for instructions, to carry out a big operation, it needs a lot of money, and for a while, who else can I pit you? ”

"Who else can I pit but you?"

Dai Li actually said such a thing to himself? It's something that only one's own people can say.

"Mr. Dai, I understand." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Nanmu Shilong is the God of Wealth in my eyes, and in your eyes, it is a big golden doll, and if you shake it, the money will fall." Cheng, pit, 500,000 yen, I'll send someone to you in the afternoon, do you think? ”

"Okay, Shaoyuan, just as I owe you personally."

"Don't, don't be your personal debt to me, I don't dare to ask you for money if you owe me three guts." Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly: "It seems that the smuggling business will be expanded." During this time, I was always busy with tasks and had not taken good care of the company, although it was going smoothly so far, but I was thinking that this line of work could be improved again. ”

Dai Li nodded: "This will be an important source of income for us for a long time to come." Shao Yuan, you are now the deputy chief of the Operations Section and the director of the Supervision Office, and I am going to give you another position, do you remember the secret killing group I considered setting up before the outbreak of the Battle of Shanghai? ”

"Remember, isn't this the task of the hoe team now?"

"Nope." Dai Li shook his head slowly: "The responsibilities of the secret killing team are more than that of the hoe team. In my mind, this organization has to shoulder the responsibilities of assassination, surveillance, surveillance, internal purge, and so on......"

Meng Shaoyuan's eyes lit up.

Dai Li immediately looked at him: "Big Golden Doll, I won't take your 500,000 yuan for nothing, and you don't dare to ask me to collect debts, so I sold this team leader to you, just the 500,000." ”

My dear mother.

That's half a million dollars.

The leader of the secret killing team doesn't sound like a big official, but the actual power in his hands is really great.

It can even be said that in the entire military system, except for Dai Li, he Meng Shaoyuan has the greatest power.

It doesn't matter how big or small the official is, it's real if he has real power.

"Thank you, Mr. Dai, Shaoyuan will definitely live up to expectations!"
