On July 26, 1938, the Battle of Lushan began.

The commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, Okamura Ninji, who was full of ambition, had no idea at this time what kind of fierce resistance he would encounter in Lushan.

Before that, it was this Okamura Ninji who put forward a "ancient and unprecedented" proposal before the outbreak of the Wuhan Defense War:

Sign a combat contract!

That's right, a combat contract that is absolutely rare in the history of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign wars really happened to the arrogant Japanese army!

Before the outbreak of the Battle of Wuhan, since the Japanese army attacked Wuhan from Nanjing, mainly along the banks of the Yangtze River to the west, the fire cover and military transportation on the surface of the Yangtze River became necessary.

So how did the Japanese Army and Navy negotiate in Central China? Sign the contract!

The need for two branches of the armed forces of a country to sign a "cooperation agreement" in combat operations is definitely a major "innovation."

Okamura Ninji, who first proposed this "pioneering initiative," explained to his immediate boss, Shunroku Hatata, "commander of the Central China Dispatch Army": Since the attack on Wuhan requires the use of the Yangtze River waterway, the army and navy will cooperate and contact at all times, so the dispatch army should sign a series of agreements with the navy to ensure that the army and navy will not buy each other in the campaign, otherwise there will be no peace.

Okamura's request was not groundless, and in the previous operations to occupy Qingdao and Lianyungang, the Japanese army and navy had many disputes, and the navy, which regarded itself very highly, often made the army full of anger but helpless.

For example, when entering Qingdao, because the Marines took the lead and requisitioned many good buildings in the city, the troops of the 5th Division of the Army, which were late to the party, could not find a house to live in, and the two sides even drew their guns and almost fought each other.

As for Lianyungang, an important port in Jiangsu, the army staff headquarters originally planned to use the 101st Division to occupy it, but the navy took it upon itself to send marines to occupy it first, which provoked a great deal of anger for the army.

As for whether to attack Wuhan from North China or from Nanjing to Jiangxi, the Japanese Navy, which had always been working against the army, vigorously supported the latter plan for the first time.

Admiral Shunroku Hahata believed that Okamura Ninji's suggestion was very reasonable, "it was inevitable", so under the coordination and witness of the representatives of the Tokyo base camp, the Central China Dispatch Force and the 11th Army Command of the Japanese Army, and the "Chinese Fleet" of the Navy, the "11th Sentai Team" specifically responsible for implementation, and the Army Air Force, a series of agreements were generally signed.

This "terrific" contract was not a glorious thing in the first place, it was top secret, and I don't know how it was leaked.

It was first revealed by an American newspaper, and then large and small newspapers at home and abroad published the anecdote.

This has made the Japanese Government and the army and navy lose face, and while they are anxious to deny it, they are also strictly investigating internally who leaked the news.

Meng Shaoyuan put down the newspaper and couldn't help laughing for a long time.

Japan is such a strange country, sometimes I really don't know what is going on in their heads.

"Boss Meng, it's on the shore."

I'm back in Shanghai.

It's a good feeling.

And this time I came back, and I was relaxed.

All the family members were sent to Chongqing, and they no longer had any worries.

handed the newspaper to Gan Ning: "Here, the signing of the combat contract between the Japanese army and the navy, seize the opportunity to make a big fuss for me." The bigger the noise, the better. ”

"Understood. Boss Meng, get off the boat first. ”

The one who came to pick up Meng Shaoyuan was still Wu Jingyi.

As soon as he got in the car, not long after the report, Meng Shaoyuan, who was in a good mood, gradually became gloomy.

Kenji Dohihara is finally here.

The Soil Hibara Mechanism has officially started to operate!

In fact, this has always been news that Meng Shaoyuan has not been willing to hear, although he also knows that this will happen sooner or later.

"It's already done to us." Wu Jingyi's face was serious: "Many of our contact points have been destroyed. ”

"Did you fight back?"

"Fought back." Wu Jingyi said: "We have also launched a surprise attack on the contact points of the Japanese army in the public concession that we have mastered, although we have achieved certain results, but the Japanese of these contact points have obviously received warnings before, some have withdrawn in advance, and some have put up fierce resistance, causing us some casualties. ”

"It's a different day."

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly muttered.

The sky in Shanghai is about to change.

"Bang, bang, bang"!

Suddenly, gunshots rang out.

The driver made a turn, stepped on the accelerator, accelerated for some distance, and at a corner, slammed on the brakes to stop the car.

"The tires were punctured." The driver was calm: "Get out of the car!" ”

Almost imperative.

Meng Shaoyuan and Wu Jingyi opened the car door and rushed out at the same time.

Bullets are desperately pursuing in this direction.

The driver was still very calm, took out his pistol and fired back a few shots: "Cover me!" ”

Wu Jingyi looked at the place where the gunshots came from, and emptied a magazine in one go.

Under her cover, the driver took out two submachine guns from the trunk, threw one to Wu Jingyi, and then swept out with a shuttle of bullets.

Meng Shaoyuan lit a cigarette, and it seemed that the shootout that was taking place had nothing to do with him.

The crossfire of the two submachine guns quickly stopped the killer.

In a moment, there was another dense burst of gunfire around.

It's just that this is shooting at the killer position.

The military protection agents have arrived.

Obviously, the killer knew that the best opportunity for assassination had been lost, and without too much entanglement, he quickly evacuated the place in an orderly manner.

A cigarette has not yet been smoked, and the assassination crisis is resolved.

"Boss Meng, the killer escaped." Gan Ning walked over: "Safe." ”

Meng Shaoyuan nodded and glanced at the driver: "Name." ”

"Wei Feng."

"Wei Feng? Down? ”

Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "You dare to order me, you are quite bold." ”

"Report to the chief, the situation was urgent, and I took protecting the chief as my first priority, and I didn't think much about the rest."

"Daring, excellent driving, good." Meng Shaoyuan looked satisfied: "From now on, you are my full-time driver, and your salary will be doubled." ”

"Thank you, sir." Wei Feng didn't look happy.

A new car, or Wei Feng drove, as soon as he got in the car, Wu Jingyi said: "It was my negligence that caused you to be in danger, and I ask for punishment." ”

"Not an assassination against me." Meng Shaoyuan muttered there: "If the Japanese want to kill me, there won't be only such a little movement. Judging from the gunfire just now, there were only seven or eight killers. So many people want to get rid of me? The Japanese don't take me too seriously. Against you? There are also too few people coming. ”

"The killer was prepared." Wu Jingyi frowned: "However, when to set off and what tasks are all notified by me before departure." It is impossible for the Japanese to know in advance. ”

"Sir, I probably know what's going on."

Wei Feng suddenly spoke.

This time, Meng Shaoyuan and Wu Jingyi became interested at the same time: "Let's talk about it." ”

"That's right, you have a habit, Assistant Wu." Wei Feng was not afraid of anything: "Every time before a mission, although you give an order before you set off, you always go to the parking lot to check the vehicle. Often at this point, I know that there must be a task. ”

Meng Shaoyuan heard something: "You know? This is what you found? ”

"Yes, I found it." Wei Feng admitted frankly: "And I can roughly guess who leaked this operation." ”

"Say it." Meng Shaoyuan was interested.

"A few days ago, I found that Assistant Wu went to check the car again, and said to my good friend Lu Yuji, who is in a dormitory with me, that he was ready to go on a mission soon. As a result, an hour later, a mission really came. When I returned to the dormitory in the evening, Lu Yuji asked me how I knew, and I thought it was nothing, so I told him why. ”

Meng Shaoyuan also understood when he heard this: "Therefore, the one who betrayed the information was either Lu Yuji, or he told others about it." As long as the breakthrough is opened from this direction, the truth will be known. ”

Wei Feng stopped talking.

"When did he come?" Meng Shaoyuan asked.

"It's a newcomer sent by He Ruyi from the Taihu Lake training base." Wu Jingyi quickly said: "It's been two months since I came, and I'm still in the assessment stage. He Ruyi's evaluation of him is, 'Good at observation, calm and composed, but slightly less disciplined, the upper limit is the person in charge of the district and station, and the lower limit is the squadron leader.' ’”

Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Wei Feng, the person in charge of the district and station, is very different from the squadron leader, do you know why your teacher will pull your upper and lower limits so far?" ”

"Discipline." Wei Feng didn't think about it and said: "The teacher's evaluation is not wrong, my discipline is indeed problematic, I should not tell my roommate what I found, but should report to Assistant Wu." ”

"Wu Jingyi, what about you?" Meng Shaoyuan asked again: "Driver, important position, discipline is a big problem, why do you let him be in charge of driving?" ”

Wu Jingyi said lightly: "There are many people who obey discipline in our military command, but they are good at observation, calm and composed, which is a high evaluation, and there are not many such people." This cannot be cultivated, but discipline can be cultivated. ”

Meng Shaoyuan said "um": "Wei Feng's performance just now was very good, and he was not chaotic in the face of danger, and I have already given him a double salary, which is a reward." However, he told others what he found without authorization, which seriously violated discipline and gave him a punishment. After going back, locked up for three days, Wei Feng, reflect on himself. ”

"I accept the punishment." Wei Feng drove very steadily: "In the past three days, I will copy the organization's discipline three hundred times. ”

This newcomer is still very promising, especially the person personally recommended by He Ruyi, who will always be wrong.

From Gan Ning and others before, to Yu Yanchu later, and then to Wei Feng in front of them, these people will soon take on heavy responsibilities!
