"Yoshikawa Gomon is dead, and the Japanese will not be able to launch a new offensive for the time being."

Early in the morning, Meng Shaoyuan summoned some people to hold a meeting in the office, and judging from the tone of his voice, there seemed to be no special excitement about the death of Yoshikawa Gomon.

It's no wonder how Yoshikawa Gomon died, and who killed him, is not known at all.

What's there to be excited about?

"The Battle of Taierzhuang is over, and our army has achieved a brilliant victory." Meng Shaoyuan's voice was not fast: "In Shanghai, our intelligence front has also won some victories one after another, the Japanese secret service has suffered heavy losses, and the traitors have also been terrified of our army. But during this period, we have been ignoring a force, which has even caused us some trouble. Green Gang! ”

As for gang organizations, they have always ranked relatively low in the work of military commanders.

One is that the gangs are loosely organized and not easy to pose a great threat.

Second, from the beginning of the Lixing Society, a large number of members of the Green Gang were used, and even in the early days, the main force was these gang members.

However, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the situation began to change.

Huang Jinrong retired, Du Yuesheng avoided Hong Kong, and let the Green Gang have no leader and less constraints.

The rest of the big guys, except for Zhang Xiaolin, is Ji Yunqing.

It's just that these two people are bent on taking refuge in the Japanese.

The Green Gang also gradually began to deteriorate.

Meng Shaoyuan's gaze fell on Wu Jingyi: "Assistant Wu, tell me about the situation." ”

"Yes." Wu Jingyi quickly said: "The 'Zodiac Society' under the Shanghai Youth Gang organization 'Anqing General Association' was formed by Chang Yuqing, and has now completely degenerated into a traitor organization.

On January 28, the Shanghai Incident, Chang Yuqing and the traitor Hu Lifu organized the Zhabei Local Residents' Maintenance Association, taking advantage of the war to poison the people and do evil.

After the Songhu Armistice Agreement was signed, Hu Lifu was arrested and ambushed, and Chang Yuqing absconded to Dalian under the protection of the Japanese army.

After the outbreak of the Battle of Shanghai on August 13, Chang Yuqing returned to Shanghai. He originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos with Su Xiwen to set up the 'Shanghai Avenue Government' and control the puppet regime in Shanghai with Su Xi, but because he was one step late, he was not accepted by Su Xi.

Subsequently, under the personal organization of Inoue Hiaki, Chang Yuqing used the Anqing Association as the capital to form an armed spy organization of the Zodiac Society, acting as the eyes and ears and thugs of the Japanese army. And Inoue Hisaaki specially sent Yuta Tsukamoto to serve as an advisor to the Zodiac Society, planning and directing its specific actions. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Jingyi paused slightly and continued:

"Sanyuqing is the main assistant that Inoue Hisaaki used to collect traitors, puppet soldiers, and bandits. The main means they use are, in addition to cajoling with sweet words or appointing catchy titles, as well as issuing guns, ammunition and funds for their activities, depending on the situation.

After obtaining the consent and support of Inoue Hiaki, Chang Yuqing gave the bandit leaders the convenience of smuggling and drug trafficking, so that they would be grateful to Dade and obey the manipulation and command of the Japanese after making huge profits.

In addition, Chang Yuqing often sent his subordinates to distribute sabers, leather boots, raincoats, beer, cigarettes and other physical goods to the bandit leaders, or awarded certificates and bonuses to show encouragement.

He sometimes invited the officers of the puppet army and the leaders of the bandits to the Japanese brothels in Hongkou to drink and have fun, and he also gave small favors to the families of the puppet army and bandit leaders, distributing Japanese bedding, porcelain and other daily necessities, as well as children's fruits, toys, and so on, so as to contact them with affection.

Under the lure of Inoue Hisashi and Sanyuqing, those traitors were all determined to serve the Japanese......"

"The role played by a traitor and the energy he exerts are often unimaginable." Meng Shaoyuan's voice was calm: "The Japanese want to kill, and the traitors also want to kill, why do I sometimes put a lot of energy into hoeing rape?" There is only one reason, and after cutting off these minions, the activities of the Japanese in Shanghai have become tied.

For example, this Chang Yuqing, the Japanese formulated a plan, and he was responsible for the specific implementation, he was familiar with Shanghai, he was a member of the Green Gang, and there was also some zodiac. The Japanese don't have to worry about it at all. His role in the destruction of the war cannot be ignored. Assistant Wu, the Zodiac and Chang Yuqing's specific situation, continue to report. ”

"Yes."

Wu Jingyi then said: "There are more than 100 disciples in Chang Yuqing's official opening of the incense hall, and the disciples of the disciples are not counted. These people are some executioners who kill people without blinking.

At the behest of Yuta Tsukamoto, an advisor to the ronin, members of the Zodiac Society often infiltrated the concession in disguise to investigate the activities of anti-Japanese progressives in the concession. Whenever anti-Japanese progressives are discovered, they will write letters of warning and intimidation, or kidnap and assassinate.

Han Maungran, a scholar and patriot who returned from studying in the United States, and Pan Qipei, a reporter from the Southern Evening News, were both assassinated by people from the Zodiac Society, especially Pan Qipei, who had been spending so much money that he left orphans and widows and could not live at all.

What's more, Chang Yuqing also kidnapped Pan Qipei's daughter Pan Yejuan, whose whereabouts are still unknown. Panchipei's wife cried everywhere, but it was useless......"

Wu Jingyi sighed softly:

"The headquarters of the Zodiac Society is on the third floor of the New Asia Hotel, next door to the Inoue Mansion. It is said that the puppet government of Nanjing will also move to the fourth floor of the New Asia Hotel in Shanghai today......"

"New Asia Hotel."

Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "It's also a stronghold of Japanese and traitors?" Now that Inoue Hisaaki himself is in trouble, this is an opportunity.

The Zodiac has never been attacked by us, relying on the support of Inoue Hisaaki behind his back, arrogant, and openly came to the public concession to kidnap and kill people? ”

The public concession, to a certain extent, has become a forbidden area in Meng Shaoyuan's heart.

Here, he could not have allowed anyone to do whatever he wanted here:

"Now, the first important thing is to find Pan Qipei's daughter, named Pan ......"

"Pan Yejuan."

"Yes, Pan Yejuan."

Meng Shaoyuan groaned and said: "I want to see people in life, I want to see corpses in death, I don't care what her situation is now, I must have her whereabouts." ”

"Director Meng, leave this matter to me."

It was Shen Li who took the initiative to ask for help.

He came to Shanghai from Chongqing with Meng Shaoyuan.

I've been in Shanghai for a while.

Now, indeed, the time has come for these people to do their jobs on their own.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Meng Shaoyuan thought about it for a while, but still agreed: "At the same time, it is necessary to use the shortest time to find out how many people in the Zodiac will enter the public concession, and Gan Ning is responsible for this matter." ”

"Yes."

"Also, New Asia Hotel."

Meng Shaoyuan mentioned the name again: "Relying on the Japanese-controlled area, I think we have nothing to do with them, and now even the puppet regime in Nanjing has to move there?" ”

One is in Chen Zheng's house, and the other is in the New Asia Hotel.

In the eyes of the Japanese and traitors, these two places seem to be the safest places in Shanghai.

Meng Shaoyuan's mind had already moved to these two places.
