After the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, the 87th Division occupied Hujiang University, and the 88th Division occupied Wuzhou Cemetery, Baoshan Bridge, Bazi Bridge and other key points.

On the 14th, the Supplementary Brigade of the 2nd Division, which arrived in Shanghai, took over from the 88th Division to defend the Shanghai Patriotic Girls' School and Zhizhi University, and assumed the task of attacking the Japanese headquarters in Hongkou Park and Jiangwan Road.

On the 15th, Emperor Hirohito of Japan ordered Senior General Matsui Ishine to send a military commander to Shanghai to command the 3rd Division, the 11th Division and other troops directly under the army to attack Shanghai and further expand the war of aggression against China.

After the Japanese reinforcements landed in the rear of the Chinese army, the Chinese side was no longer able to destroy the Japanese marines, and the Chinese army high command headed by the chairman of the committee considered that it would be more convenient to fight in Shanghai than to fight in the far northern plains, and to avoid the Japanese army, which had superior mobility. Moreover, a war in Shanghai, which is leased by foreign countries, is very likely to provoke the intervention of the great powers, and may win a glorious peace with foreign mediation, and then thwart the Japanese army's ambitions in North China, which is extremely advantageous to the relatively weak China.

In the two-day battle, Meng Shaoyuan's armed forces killed four people and wounded two, including Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan was then sent to Nanjing to recuperate from his injuries.

The results are equally encouraging.

Meng Shao's original squadrons instructed the artillery to pull out three Japanese positions and discover a hidden position...... Meng Shaoyuan alone commanded the artillery to kill a Japanese heavy squad.

Of course, this credit was credited to a girl named Liu Meihua......

As for hoeing and raping, it's even more exciting.

Tian Qi's squad alone killed thirty-eight traitors at one time.

Have you ever been killed by mistake?

Nobody cares.

Therefore, these exploits need to be counted.

Before the war, Meng Shaoyuan was promoted to lieutenant colonel.

When he returned, with a blue nose and swollen face, Dai Li personally issued the appointment.

"Our army is regrouping and preparing for a new offensive." Dai Li's face was solemn: "I have to rush back to Nanjing in a while......"

Dai Lian is a strange person.

Meng Shaoyuan was convinced of this.

During the entire Battle of Songhu, he insisted on the Shanghai front during the day, and while he was busy organizing intelligence warfare against Japan, he tried his best to establish a military unified armed special force to assist the regular army in combat.

What is incredible is that he personally took a car from Shanghai to Nanjing every night to report the war situation and intelligence analysis to the chairman of the NPC National Committee.

At that time, the railway from Nanjing to Shanghai was no longer passable, and the cars could only drive with the lights off, and the Japanese planes continued to bomb and strafe.

His lust is famous, and his lust can actually help him keep his energy full.

He was busy all day during the day, and when he took the car to Nanjing, he had to take two female spies to sit in the back row with him, one on the left and one on the right, and asked to be beautiful, funny, cheerful, and good at laughing.

All the way from Shanghai to Nanjing, I laughed with the female spy to relieve his boredom, sometimes gave him a massage, and he didn't have to sleep, at most he leaned on the female spy to take a nap.

I went to meet the chairman of the NPC National Committee, and after the conversation, we went back to Shanghai together, and we talked and laughed all the way, and the next day we were full of energy and vigor.

Anyway, at this point, Meng Shaoyuan felt that he couldn't do it no matter how much he thought about it.

"There is a task that I must explain to you before I go to Nanjing." Dai Li immediately said: "Yao Muqing, a native of Shanghai, the chairman of Huatong Flour Mill, a traitor. In the past few years, the United Japanese businessmen have continuously cracked down on domestic products, causing a lot of losses to Chinese businessmen.

Two months ago, Ye Mingbao, a senior officer of our country, entered the concession, and because his father and Yao Muqing knew each other in their early years, he went to visit him. We suspect that Ye Mingbao's identity was accidentally exposed, betrayed by Yao Muqing, and kidnapped or killed by the Japanese special organs......"

This kid has done a lot of bad things, huh? Why don't you take him out? ，

Meng Shaoyuan was a little curious.

"After the Sino-Japanese Lugou Bridge war, the Japanese special organs and Yao Muqing had frequent contacts, and they intended to establish the Shanghai Business Federation in Shanghai, with Yao Muqing as the president, to compete with the Shanghai Federation of Industry and Commerce, and take its place as a pro-Japanese organization." Dai Li's face was solemn when he said these words:

Yao Muqing responded positively and ran in tandem, once he was made by him and supported by the Japanese behind his back, it would confuse a large part of the people, and let those who sway from side to side have a great possibility of defecting to the enemy. Therefore, after research, it was decided that the scourge of Yao Muqing must be solved as soon as possible. ”

"I see." Meng Shaoyuan immediately replied: "I'll go into the concession and try to kill him." ”

"You can't kill him."

Meng Shaoyuan was stunned.

Can't kill?

Why?

Dai Li seemed to have something unspeakable, and hesitated there for a while: "The words I said to you today, only you know. ”

"Understood."

"When the chairman of the committee was in Shanghai, Yao Muqing once helped him......"

With just this sentence, Meng Shaoyuan immediately understood.

"The chairman of the committee later mentioned this person to me, and said something about the general meaning of being a person." Dai Li smiled bitterly: "Others, if they kill them, they will be killed, but the people who have helped the chairman of the committee, kill or not?" Killed, what if Long Yan is angry? Therefore, the best way is to capture this person alive and send him to Nanjing to be handed over to the chairman of the committee. ”

It's hard.

Dai Li's consideration is not just about completing the task.

"In addition to the factor of the chairman, there is another reason." Dai Li's words were not finished: "Yao Muqing has two sons, the eldest son, who is our people. ”

This is a big surprise, right?

Lao Tzu is a traitor, and his son is an agent?

Dai Li smiled bitterly: "His eldest son, who has been in North China for a long time and cooperates with the Japanese on the surface, is actually our senior sleeper agent, codenamed 'Maple Leaf', who has successively passed on a lot of information to us. Last year, when I went to Beiping, I met him secretly, and after reporting to me, Maple Leaf made a request......"

Maple Leaf knew what his father had done, so he begged Dai Li, when it was really a last resort, please try to keep people under the knife, even if his father is sentenced to life imprisonment, please be sure to stay in his father's life.

"Maple Leaf" must be a particularly important undercover agent.

Meng Shaoyuan quickly made a guess.

In terms of Dai Li's character, he will not show mercy, but he seems to have agreed to the request of "Maple Leaf".

Who is Maple Leaf?

What is his identity as a collaborator with the Japanese?

Meng Shaoyuan didn't ask.

If Dai Li is unwilling to tell you about these things, it is best not to ask more.

"The chairman of the committee added the reason for the maple leaf, so I decided to keep Yao Muqing alive for the time being." Dai Li stared at his most proud subordinate in front of him: "Is there a way to take him to the rental world and send him to Nanjing?" ”

Kidnapping.

Kidnapping is much more difficult than assassination, and even if it is successful, how to bring the rental industry is a problem.

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Meng Shaoyuan still agreed without any hesitation.

"Okay, let's do it." Meng Shaoyuan took out a file from the drawer: "This is Yao Muqing's entire file, you study it carefully, within seven days, the task must be completed." ”

"Understood!"

Yao Muqing and Ji Yunqing met.

As soon as he saw the name "Ji Yunqing", Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but laugh.

I have dealt with him a lot in Shanghai, Nanjing and Wuxi.

To be honest, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is Ji Yunqing's nemesis.

Yao Muqing found a group of bodyguards from Ji Yunqing to protect his safety.

I don't know if Ji Yunqing is particularly good to him, or if Yao Muqing's check is fully opened, and Ji Yunqing's so-called "Thirteen Taibao" is protected by three people, long knives, short knives and fast guns.

Damn, it's still a long knife and a short knife. You try it against the machine gun.

Quick gun? How fast can it be?

Looking further down, Yao Muqing's eldest son is "doing business" in North China, the second son Yao Qiyi, who serves as the general manager of his flour mill, and a grandson, Yao Hongtu, is 6 years old.

Meng Shaoyuan probably knew it in his heart, and he called Wu Jingyi into the office: "Immediately transfer Tian Qi, Zhu Yanni, Lu Qinghong, and Tan Xinyi back to me, this order is urgent, and the team under command will be handed over to the deputy captain to deal with." ”

"Okay."

"Wait." Meng Shaoyuan stopped Wu Jingyi: "Assistant Wu, I heard that your husband works outside the concession?" ”

"Yes, their bank is outside the concession."

"You said that your husband's luck, most of the banks in Shanghai are in the concession, and only a few are outside the concession, but it is spread to your husband." Meng Shaoyuan took out a letter from the drawer: "HSBC general manager Collier and I are acquainted, I called him and asked your husband to resign immediately, take this letter of introduction, and go to HSBC to find Collier." ”

"Thank you, Director Meng." Wu Jingyi took the letter, but she didn't even say a word of thanks: "Then I'll go and inform Tian Qi and them first." ”

"Go ahead."

Meng Shaoyuan was very satisfied with his assistant.

There are some things that you don't need to say thank you for.

Just keep it in your heart.

However, one day Wu Jingyi needs to do something dangerous, Meng Shaoyuan believes that she will not hesitate for a minute or a second......

"Tian Qi, you immediately send a telegram to Wuxi, and ask Mi Zilang to dispatch eight capable militia members to Shanghai overnight and join me in the public concession."

"Got it."

"Also, let Mi Zilang come empty-handed, and distribute the weapons to them when they arrive in Shanghai. Then take a telegram to Kang Tianhao and ask him to help find a way to solve the traffic problem. ”

"Well, it's finally going to use the Taihu Mintuan?"

"It's not just about using it, it's about using it greatly." Meng Shaoyuan muttered: "In case Shanghai is lost, the Japanese army will inevitably invade further south, and when the time comes, these Taihu militia groups will be our guerrillas behind enemy lines." ”

Tian Qi knew that Meng Shaoyuan had started laying nets a long time ago, and now it was finally time for these hidden forces in the past to activate them.

He also had some curiosity.

Meng Shaoyuan seems to have anticipated this war for a long time.

Everything he had done before was to prepare for war.

And how did he know?

Maybe that's why he's been able to rise through the ranks.

Follow this person, and your future will definitely not be wrong.

Tian Qi could be sure of this in his heart.
