Chapter 951: Re-entry into Wuhan
With the escort of Jiro Wakisaka, there is no danger along the way.
The reason why it is called a frightening danger is that there were two guerrilla attacks along the way.
I don't know if it's the guerrillas of ** or the guerrillas of the Fourth Route Army.
In short, the table tennis is very lively.
The five Japanese soldiers in charge of escorting were still very military-qualified.
As soon as they were attacked, they set up a defence on the spot.
They do not take the initiative, but rely on cars and terrain defense.
They were also well aware that these guerrillas, once the attack was unfavorable, feared that they would attract Japanese troops nearby, and would soon retreat.
Meng Shaoyuan also thought there, he had lived nine deaths and lived a lifetime, and if he really died in the hands of his own people, it would be too cost-effective.
Fortunately, Meng Shaoyuan entered Wuhan alive.
Meng Shaoyuan is such a person, you can't give him a gap, but as long as he sees a glimmer of light, he will get into it like a loach.
Jiro Wakisaka became his talisman.
A talisman used to allow him to move relatively freely in Wuhan.
After the fall of Wuhan, Wuhan became a hell on earth.
When the Nationalist government troops retreated from Wuhan, they left a lot of food piled up in the Catholic Church in the third district of Hankow, ready to feed the refugees who had not had time to leave.
After the Japanese army invaded and occupied Wuhan, they drove out all the refugees in the special three districts, and the refugees' food was completely taken away by the Japanese army.
However, although the Japanese army took away the mountains of grain, they could not carry it, and they could not pull a single strong man when they traveled all over the city of Wuhan.
In the name of "pity for the refugees", he printed many leaflets and distributed them in the refugee areas, stipulating that each refugee could bring his own basket to the Catholic church to buy rice, and each load of rice was only 5 yuan in legal currency, as a sign of relief. Anyone who buys rice, as long as he has a basket with him, can pass through the enemy sentry post without a pass, and after arriving at the Catholic church, he first pays the fee to receive the certificate, and fills in the "laborer", "businessman", and "self-eater" on the card, and then picks the rice with the certificate.
Hungry refugees, get this news, I don't know if it is the enemy's tricks, have gone to buy rice, sure enough, there is no difficulty along the way, and when picking rice, each stone of rice can also send another bucket or several liters, the Japanese soldiers and traitors present said to the refugees: This is a special favor of the imperial army.
After picking out the Catholic church, the road was full of sentry posts and sentinels, ordering the refugees to walk according to their designated routes, and soon they reached the river, and all the rice was forced by the enemy soldiers to pick up the enemy transport ship, and the refugees knew that they had been deceived.
After boarding the boat, the baskets were not allowed to be taken away at all, and those who were not strong were driven ashore, and those who were slightly stronger were detained on the boat to be used by the enemy.
In addition, the Japanese army also penetrated and looted property everywhere in Wuhan, such as the "Pacific Ocean", "Xuan Palace", and "Yangtze River...... The equipment and belongings of the big hotel were all transported to the enemy ship and loaded.
The doors and windows of ordinary residents were also demolished by enemy troops and Japanese ronin.
The citizens of Wuhan are even more miserable.
The most famous is three bricks and eight dollars.
At this time, the citizens of Wuhan completely lost their freedom, and if they did not have the "pass" bought by the traitors or Japanese ronin, they would not want to go out.
Even if you have a "pass" in hand, you have to be careful when you travel, and when you pass the enemy sentry, you must take off your hat and bow before you are allowed to pass, otherwise you will have to taste the punishment of "three bricks".
The so-called "three bricks", one brick pits on the knees and kneels, one brick is held high in both hands, and one brick is on the head.
In this situation, there is another kind of person who takes the opportunity to collect money and make a living pass, and that is White Russia.
Anyone who has to go out without a "pass" must ask a White Russian to lead the way, salute the Japanese sentries along the road, and then they can pass, and the price of this kind of leading the way is eight legal dollars each time, and it is guaranteed to be delivered.
A few people living in the French Concession used this method to travel from the French Concession to the Special Third District, and from the Special Third District back to the French Concession. This was an organized method of collecting money by the Japanese army, and only a small part of the leading fees obtained by the White Russians could be collected, and most of them had to be donated to the Japanese army.
In addition to the "pass", there is also a "certificate of good citizenship".
The Japanese army was very strict in the management of Wuhan. Only the resident population of Wuhan could be issued with a so-called "Good Citizen Certificate", which could not be obtained by those who had fled to Han from other places.
Residents who hold this "good citizen certificate" should put the certificate on their bodies every day for random inspection.
At that time, checkpoints were set up on many major roads in Wuhan, and people who did not have a "good citizen certificate" could be arrested at any time. The Japanese army bound all the residents to every 10 households, and promised each other that they would not violate the management of the anti-Japanese army and would not participate in activities such as underground resistance organizations.
If any one of the 10 households has a family member who commits the above acts, the other nine families may be implicated or even killed.
As for Meng Shaoyuan's era, the scenes of Chinese agents who came and went freely in Wuhan in movies and television to kill Japanese traitors were impossible at all.
There were clandestine resistance groups, but at best they could only carry out a few small acts of sabotage near the Japanese garrison.
And their greatest achievement is to secretly pass on the intelligence in Wuhan.
The military commander once wanted to carry out a riot in Wuhan, but the result was still preparing, and it was because of the "good citizen certificate" and the "joint sitting method" that this operation was completely exposed, and four military commanders were killed and 14 were captured.
The "Certificate of Good Citizenship" is a major "invention" of the Japanese, and this small certificate helped the Japanese a lot in the early and middle stages of the Anti-Japanese War.
However, from another point of view, just as the "police station" was brought by the Japanese, the "certificate of good citizenship" can be regarded as the prototype of China's modern household registration system.
The one responsible for managing Wuhan is divided into three departments.
One is the "Headquarters of the Military Police Hankow Team" stationed in the building of the Hankou Ice Factory. Captain Miza Tokijo became Osa.
One is the "Wuhan Public Security Maintenance Association" with Ji Guozhen, the leader of the Anqing Gang, as the president.
The organs of the maintenance association were controlled by the "entrustment" sent by the Japanese army, and the "general entrustment" was the Japanese Asami Toshihiko.
The third is the Wuhan Special Municipal Government, which is being prepared for establishment.
The mayor designated by Japan in this puppet regime is called Zhang Renli.
Zhang Renli may not be known by many people, but when it comes to his father, he is famous:
Zhang Zhidong, a famous minister at the end of the Qing Dynasty!
Zhang Renli is the thirteenth son of Zhang Zhidong!
In charge of intelligence work in Wuhan was Yoshiga Norie Osa, head of the Japanese secret service in Wuhan, who worked closely with the gendarmerie.
All organs are under the leadership of the Supreme Commander of Japan's Central China Dispatch Army.
After the fall of Wuhan, Luojia Mountain became the headquarters of the Central China Dispatch Army of the Japanese invasion of China, and in order to comfort the homesickness of the Japanese army, cherry blossoms were introduced from Japan and planted in front of the old house of Wuhan University.
Who would have thought that decades later, the cherry blossoms of Wuhan University would become a scene.
Meng Shaoyuan entered Wuhan, and with the blessing of Jiro Wakisaka's people, it was naturally unimpeded.
He was also generous and gave a sum of money to the five Japanese soldiers who were responsible for protecting him along the way, and the Japanese soldiers thanked him repeatedly.
But Meng Shaoyuan had just begun, and he took Sophia, Allison and five Japanese soldiers straight to the gendarmerie Hankow team. As soon as he arrived at the door, he asked the leader Cao Chang to report, saying that he was from the Xianning Defense Area, and asked to see Mei Zashi when he became a big Zuo.
I heard that it was Jiro Wakisaka who came from Wakisaka, and that he was an international journalist, and that Shisei, who was tasked with ensuring the smooth convening of the Wuhan Goodwill Conference, did not dare to slack off and immediately sent someone to bring them in.
"Well, then, that's it." Meng Shaoyuan immediately said to the five Japanese soldiers: "Along the way, it's been hard. ”
"That's what we should do, and we'll see you again in the future." Captain Cao, who led the team, bowed deeply to Meng Shaoyuan.
This is what Meng Shao originally wanted.
Miza Tokinari will soon know.
The person who came was very close to Jiro Wakisaka.
Not only did he send someone to escort him personally, but the escort also had special respect for "Takuya Kimura".
The headquarters of the Hankow Gendarmerie was divided into four divisions.
General Affairs Division in charge of finance, maintenance, and personnel; Police Division, which is in charge of policing and traffic; the Judicial Division, which administers military discipline in the Japanese military; and the prestigious special high school course in charge of military, political, and economic intelligence.
Meng Shaoyuan asked Sophia and Alison to stay outside and wait, and went to meet Shicheng alone with Meiza.
"Your Excellency." As soon as he entered, Meng Shaoyuan immediately said, "It's my honor to be able to see you here. ”
"Kimura-kun, hard work." Meiza Shicheng nodded: "I think you also know the importance of this Wuhan goodwill conference, and those international journalists must make full use of it." ”
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Meng Shaoyuan then said: "I have two requests to see you this time. The first was to arrange a place for the two reporters to live. ”
Shicheng picked up the phone and quickly completed the matter.
"They've arranged it, and I can say the second thing." Meng Shaoyuan's face was serious: "I beg you to let His Excellency the Minister of Fanghe Zejiang come here immediately." ”
"Oh, is there something going on?" As soon as he heard that he was going to ask another director of the Wuhan intelligence work to come, Mei Za Shicheng asked.
"Your Excellency, I don't have to hide anything." Meng Shaoyuan said extremely seriously: "I am actually neither called Takuya Kimura nor Andy Lau, my real name is Narumi Shimamoto, codenamed 'Jiaoyang', under the direct leadership of the Guangzhou intelligence agency Zuoka Saho, I was ordered to conduct deep infiltration in Nanjing, after the empire occupied Nanjing, I then arrived in Changsha to continue to lurk!" ”
This is the second time he has used Narumi Shimamoto's identity, the previous time was when he first met Koichi Hawara!
It's a lot of fun.
"Sun" Narumi Shimamoto is real, he was ordered to lurk in depth and move freely, and Miza Tokinari will definitely verify his identity, and the results obtained are true.
But except for Ooka Saho himself, no one really knows who Narumi Shimamoto is!
Sure enough, as soon as he heard these words, Shicheng immediately paid attention to it, and he picked up the phone on the desk again: "I'm Meiza, please immediately ask Yoshiga Daisa to come to me." ”
Meng Shaoyuan knew that his new performance was about to start!
