Chapter 450: A Photo
The military commander's retaliation was more violent than the Japanese could have imagined.
On the night of the rescue of Chen Hua, the Japanese army was attacked at the same time at two liaison points at Jing'an Temple and Yuyuan Road, resulting in five dead and two wounded.
But that's just the beginning.
The Japanese agents, who rushed to the rescue after hearing the news, were attacked again on the way, killing two people again.
Overnight, the Shanghai Tang Public Concession was in a bloody storm.
The Japanese would never give up on their laurels.
All-out war.
If it was said that after the Japanese army occupied Shanghai, under the strong request of the Ministry of Industry, the two sides tried to exercise restraint as much as possible, then now they have no scruples.
It's up to whoever can persevere.
The board of directors of the Ministry of Industry was so worried about this situation that it met with the responsible persons of both China and Japan several times, but both sides flatly denied the bloody case that took place in the public concession.
No one would be stupid enough to admit that they did it.
"You must be temperate." Sir Greenwood, emaciated, put it this way: "I don't care when the war between China and Japan will end, but this is a public concession, and no one can provoke a war here." ”
"The war has already happened." This is Meng Shaoyuan's answer at that time: "How it happened, everyone knows it in their hearts." I hate war, but I am not afraid of war, goodbye, gentlemen. ”
And this is Meng Shaoyuan's answer......
……
"Madam, we have been waiting in Lao Fu Ji for two days, and Meng Shaoyuan still hasn't appeared."
"Keep waiting, he'll definitely go."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Do you remember all the photos?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"This is the only photo of Meng Shaoyuan that we can find, and Du Changshui helped us get it. It's important to remember that if you see the person in the photo, shoot and kill! By the way, it was the drunkard Iji who was responsible for the assassination? ”
"Ma'am, it's him."
"I heard he likes to drink and almost missed a mission?"
"Yes, ma'am, but this man's marksmanship is accurate, and he doesn't want to die. He does like to drink, but this time he brought a total of six people, four in the noodle shop and two outside, as long as Meng Shaoyuan appeared, he would definitely be able to successfully assassinate him. ”
"Tell them that as long as they can kill Meng Shaoyuan, they will be rewarded with five thousand yen each."
……
Iji Qiancao has been at the Lao Fu Ji Noodle Restaurant for two mornings.
He was curious about the form of these Chinese eating noodles.
Three or four simple side dishes, a bowl of noodles per person, followed by white wine or rice wine, can be drunk for a morning.
He couldn't help but give it a try.
It's really unique.
Especially when he learned from the Chinese and poured white wine into the noodles, he found that the noodles were not rotten.
It's amazing.
How did these Chinese invent this method?
I don't like to drink rice wine Iji Qiancao, and Chinese baijiu is far stronger than Japanese sake, but I have a very good appetite for Iji Qiancao.
Four people, he asked for two bottles of wine.
His men advised him to drink less, but Iji didn't care.
He told his men that the more he drank, the more accurate his gun would be.
That's what every drunkard would say.
He was originally a subordinate of Akagi kinyuki, and since Akagi's death, no one can control his drinking anymore......
……
The sun is good today.
It had been raining for several days, and the sun was showing its head in a rare way.
The old beggar sat numbly, motionless, as if it were a statue.
It's been ten years, and he's been begging here for ten whole years.
He doesn't have a legendary and bumpy background, just an ordinary person.
Ten years ago, he brought his wife and children to Shanghai to beg for a living, but he accidentally offended the people of the Green Gang.
At that time, his temper was twisted, and he refused to bow to the Green Gang.
As a result, his wife and children were thrown into the Huangpu River in a sack in front of him, and five fingers of his left hand were also chopped off.
At that moment, he knew he was dead.
Man is alive, but the heart is dead.
I watched my wife and children die in front of me.
But he had to force himself to live.
His only wish is to find the murderer of his wife and children, and avenge their mother and son with his own hands.
So in his arms, he always carried a sharp knife.
But it's been ten years, and he's never met that villain.
There was a burst of laughter.
The old beggar knew that it was the four men who had come out.
The day before yesterday, they came to the store to drink, and today is the third day.
Every time they come back from drinking, they tease themselves.
Today is certainly no exception.
These four people are certainly not Chinese.
Two of them are very fluent in Chinese, and two of them barely speak.
Yesterday, probably not early, one of them finally spoke up and persuaded him to leave.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the old beggar heard that his Chinese was stiff.
A smell of wine came to my nose.
Yiji Qiancao squatted in front of the old beggar, holding half of the leftover bun in his hand: "Today, do you want to eat it?" ”
When he saw the beggar on the first day, he decided to tease him to satisfy his boredom.
The strong always have to show their strength in front of the weak, especially in front of these Shina people.
The old beggar nodded numbly.
"Then, follow me."
The old beggar stood up silently and followed them into a small alley next door.
Iji Qiancao is also afraid of revealing his identity, and only feels relieved in this place where no one is around: "If you want to eat, just like yesterday, learn to bark." ”
"Woohoo."
The old beggar did not hesitate to learn to bark.
A wild laugh emanated from the mouths of the four Japanese.
Half of the bun was thrown to the ground.
The old beggar grabbed it.
However, Iji Diving Grass kicked him down.
The old beggar knew what was going to happen.
Four Japanese punched and kicked him in laughter.
The old beggar endured and remained motionless for them to be tormented.
Finally, Iji had enough of venting on the grass, pointed to the old beggar lying there on the ground and said: "Pigs, these people are all pigs, and they can do without any dignity for a bite to eat." ”
They're gone.
The old beggar's body moved and moved again, and then he stuffed the bun that he had just protected tightly into his mouth little by little, little by little.
He doesn't care, he wants to live. These Japanese not only have buns, but also guns.
Really, what he saw, they all had guns in their waists.
Before avenging his wife and children, he didn't want to die like this.
What is that?
The old beggar suddenly saw something in front of him, it must have been accidentally dropped by the Japanese when they beat him, right?
That's a picture......
……
"How's the operation going?" Meng Shaoyuan poured a cup of tea.
Why is Shanghai cold like this in November?
Even if it's not raining outside, it's still cold.
"My squads are on the move. Today, an attack will be carried out on the Japanese contact point on Chengdu Road. Wu Jingyi quickly reported: "It turned out that they were preparing to storm the contact point on Gordon Road, but the Japanese also knew that the contact point had been exposed, so they evacuated in advance." ”
Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Japanese expatriates mainly gather on Tangen Road, where there are many contact points of Japanese secret agencies, can we do a vote there?" ”
"There's a certain amount of difficulty." Wu Jingyi replied without thinking about it: "The Japanese capture house is responsible for the security there, even if we can force our forces there, it will be very difficult to retreat." ”
"Oh, forget it."
The phone on the desk rang, Wu Jingyi picked up the phone and listened for a while, then put down the phone: "Sinclair is here." ”
"yes, it's still here?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Please let him in." ”
"Meng, your complexion looks good." Sinclair said enthusiastically as soon as she entered.
"Mr. Chief of Police, you look good too."
"No, no, I'm not good, very bad." Sinclair sighed: "You kill the Japanese, the Japanese kill you, fight back and forth, originally we thought that the Chinese army retreated, Shanghai can finally be peaceful, but the result is not like this, now even the public concession is in the flames of war."
Meng, you know that I am your friend, and I have always supported you, but this time the incident is too big. The board of directors held several meetings in quick succession and asked me to find a way to stop the war immediately and restore peace in the public concession, but I knew that the war would not stop without your permission, so I sought your help in the future. ”
"Mr. Commissioner of Police, I will know your purpose as soon as you come." Meng Shaoyuan said: "In front of you, I don't need to lie, the Japanese killed many of our agents, as revenge, we must do so." No one can punch me and be unharmed, that's not my character. ”
Sinclair shrugged: "How the hell is the war going to end?" ”
"I don't know." Meng Shaoyuan replied very frankly: "Maybe wait until Japan fully withdraws its troops from China?" ”
My God.
Sinclair couldn't help but mutter.
So the war will never end?
"Sinclair, you said we were friends." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "I won't make it too difficult for you, you can arrest a few Japanese, you can also arrest a few of my subordinates, I can let my subordinates lock you up for a few days." Of course, you have to make sure they are safe, and after a few days, you release them. ”
"Forget it, the Japanese won't believe this kind of superficial article, and the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau won't believe it." Sinclair didn't want to do that: "I just want you to do your best to control and not continue to expand the war." On the board's side, I'll help you delay as much as I can. God, I hope I can do it. ”
Since Meng Shaoyuan helped him take back the position of police commissioner, Sinclair has become Meng Shaoyuan's hardcore ally.
However, he also took on a lot of pressure from all sides, but it seems that Sinclair does not care.
He knew very well that at a critical moment, Meng Shaoyuan, an ally, would already help him without hesitation!
