Chapter 404: Project Scarlet

On November 6, 1937, Meng Shaoyuan, who had been staying in Shanghai, ordered the "Blood Operation" to begin!

The so-called "Operation Blood" had only one goal, to concentrate the forces remaining in Shanghai and carry out a large-scale assassination operation against the traitors.

Traitor is always an indignant, but helpless thing.

If you kill a batch, another batch will pop up, and you can't finish killing it, you can't kill it endlessly!

But the harm it causes, to some extent, far exceeds that of an army.

The location of the headquarters of Hu Zongnan's 17th Army Corps was discovered by the traitor Takashi Kaneda and secretly reported to the Japanese.

The Japanese army quickly sent a unit to advance lightly and raided the headquarters of the 17 Corps.

As a result, Hu Zongnan's staff officers and guard company of the headquarters were almost completely wiped out, and Hu Zongnan, who was the chief of staff of a dignified large army, escaped with only a few staff officers.

The rampant cooperation between the traitors and the Japanese army has reached a very serious point.

Especially in a situation where the situation in Shanghai is becoming more and more favorable for the Japanese side.

Those who had already taken refuge in the Japanese before were elated and shouted for the Japanese masters. Those who were still wavering before quickly turned themselves into traitors.

And the number of people in this team continues to grow.

In order to combat the arrogance of these people, Meng Shaoyuan specially formulated the "Blood Color Plan", in his own words:

Let Shanghai, turn red!

There is no specific goal, a plan given to each person.

There is only one point:

Distract the action, traitor, kill! If there is a suspicion of defecting to the enemy, kill! Those who advocate Japan, kill!

The task was mainly completed by the detachment of Yuan Zhonghe and Zhu Yanni who stayed in Shanghai.

The agents commanded by Wu Jingyi carried out the cooperative operation.

And the big traitor Jin Tianxiao, who almost assisted the Japanese in killing Hu Zongnan, will be executed by Meng Shaoyuan himself!

The task is challenging.

Kaneda Takashi lived in the Japanese-controlled area, and although he did not receive direct protection from the Japanese, the streets were full of Japanese soldiers, and the slightest carelessness would lead to arrest.

Because of this, Takashi Kaneda arrogantly shouted the slogan "I am a hardcore traitor, and I am dedicated to serving the Japanese Empire".

Arrogant to the point of being unstoppable.

It is said that except for Meng Shaoyuan, the rest of the military commander's agents also had murderous intentions against him.

Such a person, continuing to keep him alive, obviously has great harm.

Meng Shaoyuan left the public concession that he was familiar with and made him feel like a fish in water.

Every step is terrifying.

If he is not careful, he will become a prisoner of the Japanese.

Everywhere you look, you can see the retreating Chinese troops.

No one cares about this young man who turned back and headed for the Japanese control zone.

Overhead, there is a Japanese machine that constantly roars by.

"Stop! Hold it! ”

A few bright bayonets were aimed at Meng Shaoyuan.

Finally, I encountered the Japanese army.

Meng Shaoyuan calmly raised his hand: "Japanese, Kudo Shinichi, I'm Kudo Shinichi!" ”

A Japanese second lieutenant came over with suspicion: "Japanese? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Officer." Meng Shaoyuan put down his hand: "I am from the Public Concession, my name is Kudo Shinichi, a native of Kyoto." ”

The Japanese accent with a Kyoto accent had reduced the ensign's suspicions a lot.

Then, Meng Shaoyuan's next sentence made the second lieutenant completely believe him:

"The head of the Asama detachment, General Akutagawa Asama is my friend. Also, Captain Hashimoto is also a friend of mine, and they can prove my identity. ”

"Ah, you know General Asama." The second lieutenant motioned to the people around him to put down their guns: "I also saw the Asama detachment yesterday, their casualties were very large, and the task of continuing to advance has been replaced by the Guoqi detachment of the Tenth Army. Also, I got the news that Captain Hashimoto was killed. ”

"What?"

Meng Shaoyuan had a surprised expression: "Not long ago, I also saw Captain Hashimoto, who was taking his soldiers to raid the positions of the Shina people. ”

Saying this, the second lieutenant no longer had any doubts: "Yes, it was during that raid that he was met with a frantic counterattack by the Shina people, and the brave Captain Hashimoto served His Majesty the Emperor at that moment. ”

It's a pity.

It's not that it's a pity that Hashimoto died, but Meng Shaoyuan will have one less guy to use in the future.

"The Asama detachment is repairing the Rikuguchi Bridge." The lieutenant helped him in the direction: "All the way from here, it's all under our control, except for those damn military commanders, you don't have to worry about being attacked anymore." ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

Along the way, Meng Shaoyuan encountered more than one such Japanese army, but with his fluent Japanese and the sign "Asama Akutagawa", there was no danger every time.

There were even two wounded Japanese soldiers who retreated, and took the initiative to take him to the Lukou Bridge.

No one thought that this young man, "Kudo Shinichi", was a senior Chinese agent who was regarded as a thorn in the side by the Japanese secret services.

Obviously, the war has been going on until now, and the Asama detachment, which has participated in countless battles large and small, has indeed suffered great losses.

Wounded soldiers awaiting treatment can be seen everywhere.

The long battles exhausted the Japanese soldiers. Some sat there drinking water, trying to get the rice balls to their mouths, and some simply lay on the ground and fell asleep.

The three-month-long war made these Japanese soldiers, who were full of confidence before, know that it was not as easy as they imagined to conquer a country like China.

A Japanese soldier with a broken leg was moaning incessantly.

Meng Shaoyuan made a few movements, he first squatted down and comforted the soldier in a low voice, then stood up and shouted, "What about the doctor? Bastard, where is the doctor! ”

"Kudo-kun."

Akutagawa Asama's voice sounded behind him: "There are too many wounded soldiers, and they are being treated there in batches. The troops on the front line are advancing one after another, and they need doctors even more. ”

"General Asama."

Meng Shaoyuan turned around and bowed: "It's great to be able to see you again." ”

He deliberately made those few actions, in order to make the Japanese soldiers here full of good feelings for him.

Akutagawa Asama is an old friend with him, and through "Kudo Shinichi", he also made a lot of money, plus he witnessed the actions of "Kudo Shinichi", which made him even more satisfied:

"Kudo-kun, I'm also very happy to see that you are safe and sound, did you bring back that person last time?"

"Yes, it was successfully brought back."

"Is there something wrong with you coming this time?"

"I'm representing the Japanese expatriates in the concession, and I'm here to do something for the empire." Meng Shaoyuan took out some medicines from the bag he was carrying:

"The expatriates worked hard to buy some medicines and asked me to bring them out, hoping to save a few more soldiers of the empire!"

What a childish, but lovely expatriate.

This is the idea that came to Akutagawa's mind.

This medicine is not important at all, but after all, this is the heart of the expatriates.

"Thank you, Kudo-kun, and thank you on my behalf."

Meng Shaoyuan immediately said: "I think I can let the people here do more things for us." ”
