On March 23, 1938, the Battle of Taierzhuang officially began!

On March 24, under the cover of aircraft, artillery, and tanks, the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on Taierzhuang!

Before Meng Shaoyuan left Shanghai for Taierzhuang, he specially left Wu Jingyi behind and gave careful instructions.

Keep an eye on Shanghai!

Especially stared at the top-secret information sent by Miao Chengfang:

Yoshikawa Gomon!

The Yoshikawa Five Gates would arrive in Nanjing before the establishment of the puppet Nanjing Restoration government, and thereafter arrive in Shanghai at the end of the month, where they would stay for a while.

Meng Shaoyuan had already set his eyes on this person.

At this time, the news fed back from Nanjing was that due to the killing of Shi Qingzhi, the puppet Nanjing government fell into great passivity.

Wang Kemin, the puppet chairman of the puppet Beiping government, sent a harshly worded telegram, demanding that the Nanjing side thoroughly investigate the matter and arrest the murderer, and that the Nanjing side give Shi Qingzhi's family a huge amount of condolence money.

Neither of these things can be done by the puppet Nanjing government.

Hunt for the killer?

Where to catch?

Huge condolence money?

The puppet government does not have its own financial rights at all, and it is completely controlled by the Japanese.

Let them pay out of their own pockets? That's categorically impossible.

And this incident also laid the root cause of serious discord between the two puppet governments of the north and the south, which were already full of contradictions......

……

At this time, Meng Shaoyuan arrived in Xuzhou.

Good guys, big battle.

Almost all of the powerful factions of the Military Command Headquarters have arrived.

In particular, Meng Shaoyuan's temporary action section was exhausted.

At least a couple of squadrons came.

All of them are under the temporary command of Wang Nanxing, deputy chief of the Operations Section.

"Section Chief Meng."

As soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan, Wang Nanxing hurriedly saluted: "I have pulled several veteran squadrons to Xuzhou." ”

"What's the situation?" Meng Shaoyuan asked.

"I don't know." Wang Nanxing said in a low voice: "It seems that an important person has arrived in Xuzhou, and we are responsible for the perimeter guard." ”

Important people?

It can't be the number one person in China, right?

Meng Shaoyuan remembered that in the Battle of Xuzhou, the big man arrived at the front line several times to inspect.

"Section Chief Meng, Secretary Mao just called, saying that as soon as you arrive, you will immediately rush to the No. 3 warehouse of Xuzhou Railway Station."

"Got it."

……

Meng Shaoyuan saw Mao Renfeng again.

Warehouse 3 was converted into a temporary office.

As soon as he saw Mao Renfeng, the secretary didn't say any greetings: "Mr. Dai is here, and he is in that office." ”

"Got it, Secretary Mao, what big guy has arrived?"

"Go ask Mr. Dai."

Meng Shaoyuan entered the office, where Dai Li was instructing work.

After waiting there for a while, I heard Dai Li say, "Go and do it immediately, without delay." ”

"Yes, Director Dai."

When these people left, Dai Li moved his arm: "Are you here?" ”

"Here we are." Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly stepped forward: "Why do you still call you Director Dai, shouldn't you be called the director?" ”

"You don't have to be smooth with me, this reorganization is still in progress. Don't scream everywhere. Dai Li said angrily: "You were assassinated when you went back from Wuhan last time, and you also passed back the information, after checking, it was really done by someone around me, guess what department it will be?" ”

"Logistics." Meng Shao didn't want to blurt it out.

Dai Li was stunned: "So sure? ”

"The secrecy work is so solid, the people who can sell the information must be the people around you." Meng Shaoyuan replied: "There are not many other departments that can know about such a secret operation, but there is one thing, when Secretary Mao arranged my retreat, he definitely couldn't bypass the logistics department, especially under the dispatch of vehicles, so I guess the problem is here." ”

"yes." Dai Li sighed: "You are a smart person and quick to react. In the logistics area, one arranged the vehicle and the other arranged the local pick-up, both of whom were Japanese traitors. After touching each other's heads, they summarized the information they had, and the general context was clear. It's terrible, I have Japanese spies all around me! ”

"Mr. Dai, I have something unpleasant." Meng Shaoyuan said: "As for this kind of thing, if you kill one, a batch will pop up." If you kill a batch, there will be hundreds of thousands of desperate ones. Can't kill, can't kill. I have killed many traitors in Shanghai, but those traitors are still springing up one after another. ”

"Yes, the national nation is in danger of dying so far, but these people are still ......" Dai Li shook his head: "Forget it, don't talk about these infuriating things, do you know why you came to Xuzhou this time?" ”

"I heard that a big man is coming." Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly said: "I was ordered to transfer two additional squadrons to Xuzhou, calculate the time, and it will be there in the afternoon." Mr. Dai, is it a commission? ”

"You're pretty smart." Dai Li did not deny it: "The battle situation in Xuzhou is very important, and the heavy troops of China and Japan are hoarded here, and the whole body will be affected by one shot." The commission attaches great importance to it, and this is the second time he has come to Xuzhou to inspect the war situation. The first time was a few days ago, but on that occasion, we got information that someone was going to disadvantage the commission. ”

This is also normal.

The Japanese have always wanted to assassinate the commissioner.

During the Battle of Songhu, the commission went to Shanghai to inspect, and for the sake of safety, it was recommended that the commission sit in the car of the British ambassador and hang up the British flag, but the commission suddenly canceled the trip when it set off the next day. On the same day, the British ambassador's car was bombed and strafed by the Japanese army, and the ambassador was wounded.

The second time was on August 30, 1937, when the "Prime Minister's Memorial Week" meeting was planned to be held at the Whampoa Military Academy.

In the end, the person who broke into the venue was killed, and a bomb was found on his body, and Chiang Kai-shek escaped again, and there were two accidents in a month, which made the committee shudder, and the murderer behind the scenes must be found, and there must be a traitor leaking secrets in this matter.

As a result, it was finally found out that it was Huang Jun, the confidential secretary of the Executive Yuan of the Nanjing Government, who leaked the information to the Japanese.

This time in Xuzhou, a similar incident occurred.

"At that time, I suggested that the commission change its route, and just after the change, the Japanese planes bombed the place where the commission was supposed to inspect, which made us even more convinced that the whereabouts of the commission had been leaked." Dai Li's face was grim: "Due to the rush of time, I didn't have time to investigate thoroughly, so I handed over this matter to Wang Guofan, the stationmaster of Xuzhou Station, and asked him to supervise the matter......"

Wang Guofan!

Well, Meng Shaoyuan really knew this person.

It's not that I know Wang Guofan, but I only know that the "Biography of Zheng Chenggong" he wrote later is recognized as "the most authoritative historical material for studying Zheng Chenggong" across the Taiwan Strait.

He also has a son who is a member of the future Taiwanese basketball team, which is not famous. The most famous is his granddaughter:

Wang Zuxian!

It's that big star, goddess-level Wang Zuxian!

No matter how wise Dai Li is, he would never guess that his subordinate actually thought of someone else's future granddaughter: "Wang Guofan used to be a primary school teacher, and he also served as the head of Qianrenqiao District, and later took refuge in me and rose all the way to his current position. This man is diligent, loyal and reliable, but less capable.

Before, we also framed some suspicious lists, but after checking and checking, we didn't find the final suspect, and I came to Xuzhou this time, and I also lost my temper with him. The Great War broke out in Xuzhou, but we had spies inside, which was terrible. So this time I transferred you here to find this traitor and completely eradicate the hidden danger! ”

There was a slight pause: "I have explained to Wang Guofan that this investigation is carried out secretly, nominally led by him, but in fact you are the main one. In addition to the military restricted area, the entire Xuzhou, you can go wherever you want, and in the process of investigation, your people are also leading. Before leaving Xuzhou, you must find out the traitor for me! ”

"Mr. Dai, when will the commission leave Xuzhou?"

"The evening after tomorrow."

Yes?

The evening the day after tomorrow?

Are you sure this isn't a joke?

"Mr. Dai." Meng Shaoyuan looked embarrassed: "I came day and night, and I didn't even care about the Japanese army along the way, so I finally got here, I didn't drink a sip of water, I didn't eat a bite of food, and it was almost noon, so you left me such a little time?" Two and a half days? I don't know how to go on the road in Xuzhou. ”

"Easy task, I'm looking for you?" Dai Liban's face was raised: "I don't have water to drink, go out and drink." If you don't have anything to eat, buy two steamed buns as snacks. In short, before the evening of the day after tomorrow, you can't catch this mole, and don't do it to you, the section chief and director! ”

"Wronged." Meng Shaoyuan shouted loudly: "The matter of Xuzhou, what does it matter to me, the director of Shanghai?" I came all the way, more than 500 kilometers, one day and two nights, I slept in the car, and you want to get me dismissed? ”

"Meng Shaoyuan." Dai Li's tone suddenly became stern: "What do you do?" You are a member of the party-state! More than 500 kilometers? Two nights a day? At the beginning of the battle of Shanghai, I went to Shanghai in the morning and returned to Nanjing in the evening, basically every day, I didn't run more than you? I don't complain of suffering, what do you call suffering? ”

You're energetic, you're a strange person, you can't compare everyone to you.

Dai Li's tone softened slightly: "It's not a particularly difficult task, and I won't find you." I also told you that the commission is also very concerned about this case, he said that there has been a Huang Jun before, what is the Jun this time? If these traitors are not found out as soon as possible, the soldiers on the front line will not be able to fight well, and they will not be able to sleep well!

Think about it, if the intelligence is leaked, the Japanese army will send fighter planes to intercept it, how terrible it will be? China can do without me, Dai Li, or you Meng Shaoyuan, but not without the commission. How many people are thinking about something happening? How many people want to surrender to the Japanese? Why are you so ignorant? ”

"Cheng, I was wrong." Meng Shaoyuan decided to surrender: "I didn't sleep for the past two days, and I tried my best to help you find this traitor, it's finally done, right?" ”

"It's not about trying to find a way, but you must find this traitor!"
