After the meeting, the three secret service captains immediately went down to convey the instructions.
Of course, even for the dozen or so backbone party members of the special agent brigade, Wu Han would not tell them all, but would only say that there would be a big operation in the near future to prepare them.
At the same time, Xu Rui called Digua in and asked him to go to the West District again.
It was so late, and of course Di Gua was unwilling to do so, but this was Xu Rui's order and he had to obey it. Immediately, Di Gua hurriedly went downstairs, stopped a rickshaw on Broadway Road, got in the car and went straight to the West District of the Concession.
, the man-powered rickshaw driver rushed all the way and finally delivered the sweet potatoes to the West District more than two hours later.
The reason why I ran for more than two hours was to make sure no one was following me.
Sweet Potato threw two pieces of gold to the coachman, and then entered the Italian military camp.
However, at this time, the Italian military camp had become the headquarters of the patrol battalion.
Here, the British have firmly betrayed the Italians, because during the entire negotiation process between the Lone Camp and Minister Steve, representatives from the United States, France, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg were present, but Italy was not represented.
, this can also be regarded as a small warning to Germany for going back on its word.
Therefore, Steve pretended not to see the patrol battalion occupying the Italian military camp.
Of course the Italian government was very angry. Prime Minister Mussolini openly came forward and threatened the Chinese with war, but no one paid attention to him. Having experienced this before, this time Chairman Chiang behaved when facing the Italians.
I had to be more forceful and said directly to the Italian Minister in Chongqing, Clinder, if you have the guts, just come!
Then, there was no more, Italy's strength was not strong enough to send an expeditionary force, traveling thousands of miles to attack China!
The officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion guarding the gate already knew Sweet Potato, so they let him go directly.
It was already past two o'clock in the morning, but Xie Yuan had not gone to bed yet and was checking the post.
Checking posts is a must-do for junior officers, especially company and platoon-level officers. Before going to bed every day, they must go around the dormitory to see if anyone has not returned or if anyone has escaped? Once it is found that someone has
If there is any abnormality, we can respond immediately, but there are relatively few inspections by chief officers above the battalion level.
However, Xie Yuan still insisted on checking the post every day, even when he was in custody.
The result was of course nothing abnormal. The two-year detention not only failed to weaken the morale of the soldiers of the Gujun Camp, but actually made their will stronger!
After returning to the office after checking the post, Xie Yuan saw sweet potatoes at the door.
"Sweet potato, why are you here?" Xie Yuan turned off the flashlight and asked.
Digua said: "Battal Commander Xie, the commander asked me to convey an order to you."
"Order?" Xie Yuan glanced left and right out of habit and asked, "What order?"
Digua said: "The commander asked me to inform you that starting from tomorrow, we will conduct a security crackdown in the entire western area of the concession, and arrest all those who cheat, kidnap, rob, rob, and kill!"
"That's it?" Xie Yuan said, "Why don't you just find a public phone booth and make a call?"
Xie Yuan is a soldier in the traditional sense, and all he can think about is obeying orders.
If you were to change this to another person, you might ask, why does a good person suddenly want to crack down on security?
Because tightening public security is not something that can be achieved easily, it requires a lot of manpower and material resources to be invested, and it may cause some trouble. The patrol camp has just been established and has not yet gained a stable footing. In fact, the safest way is to keep a low profile, but...
Xie Yuan did not question Xu Rui's order, but just felt that Di Gua did not need to make the trip himself.
"It's better to be careful. Phone calls can easily be eavesdropped by people at the telephone office." Digua shook his head and continued, "Battle Commander Xie, I have conveyed the order. Don't forget to execute it."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to you." Xie Yuan nodded solemnly.
(Dividing line)
The next day, the patrol battalion adapted from the Gujun Battalion launched a strict security crackdown in the western area of the concession.
Here, it must be explained that the public security in Shanghai has always been very chaotic. There are hundreds of people and all kinds of people. What's more, after the Songhu Battle, more than two million refugees poured into the concession, which made the security in the concession even worse.
, petty theft is nothing at all, robberies and murders often occur on the street.
Just yesterday evening, a murder case occurred at the gate of the patrol camp. A squire who was said to have escaped from Jiangsu revealed his money when he was buying steamed buns to eat. Two young gangsters from the Qing Gang targeted him, and then he was killed in the street.
Robbery and murder occurred, and although the patrol camp guards arrived quickly, they were still too slow, and the squire was still dead.
After the squire was killed, only a seventy-year-old mother and an underage daughter were left.
What's even more annoying is that the two hooligans escaped punishment because they were familiar with the nearby terrain and disappeared after turning into the alley.
Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a severe crackdown in the western part of the concession.
However, the reason why Xu Rui ordered the patrol camp to carry out a severe crackdown was not only to improve public security, but the main purpose was to obtain a group of death row prisoners! Yes, he needed death row prisoners! And he needed not one or two, but a group
, there must be at least a hundred people, and even better if there are thousands of people! Although the crime of cheating, cheating, and abduction is not punishable by death, who made you hit this wind? It’s only your fault!
The next morning, the patrol battalion was dispatched in large numbers and the crackdown began.
At the intersection of Xiafei Road, a pickpocket had just gotten off the tram and took out the wallet he had just stolen from his pocket. Before he could count the money in the wallet, two heavily armed patrol policemen pounced on him and pressed him down.
He fell to the ground, then grabbed his hands and tied them up.
The pickpocket shouted in pain: "Hey, what have I done? Why do you arrest me?"
The two patrolmen didn't pay attention at all, because they had already received instructions from their companions lurking on the tram just now. This was a pickpocket, and it was absolutely impossible to arrest the wrong person.
In a small alley near Fukaisen Road, two young gangsters from the Qing Gang stopped a beautiful female college student. The female college student backed away step by step until she had no way to retreat.
"Hey, girl, where are you going?"
"Did you steal our stuff just now?"
"I didn't steal." The female college student said angrily, "I haven't even seen you."
"You said you didn't steal, so you didn't steal?" One of the hooligans chuckled, "You just stole it."
"That's right, you were the one who stole my wallet just now." Another hooligan said with a lewd smile, "Otherwise, you want us to search and see if you have a wallet on you?"
"You?" the female college student said anxiously, "Shameless!"
"Toothless?" The two little hooligans laughed lewdly at the same time, "Toothless is right. If you had teeth, you wouldn't be a monster. We wouldn't dare to look for you, hehe." While talking, the two little hooligans said
He kept looking at the female college student's lower body with his eyes, and the female college student's face suddenly turned pale.
Just when the female college student thought that she had no luck, three patrol policemen with loaded guns suddenly rushed in.
The two young hooligans were quite calm at first. The Qing Gang's power in Shanghai is so vast that even the senior patrol officer in the concession must give them face when he saw them. Otherwise, the Qing Gang boss behind them would be divided.
It took only a few minutes to teach them how to behave, but this time these two hooligans miscalculated.
As soon as the three patrolmen came up, they swung their rifle butts and beat him on the head and face.
"Let you bully female students, let you bully female students. What I hate most is men who bully women." The three patrolmen muttered while beating him violently.
Two young hooligans were beaten, but they were still not honest. One said that my old man was so-and-so, and the other said that my godfather was one of the four kings of the Qinggang. How dare you beat me? I want you to look good! But the two young hooligans
It's useless for a gangster to remove his backer, oh, no, it's still useful.
The effect of this was that the three patrol officers gave him an even harder beating.
The two young hooligans couldn't stand the beating anymore, so they knelt down and knelt down to beg for mercy. However, it was still in vain. Three patrolmen beat the two young hooligans half to death, and finally dragged them away like dead dogs.
At the intersection of Bishop Yao Road, more than a dozen members of the Ax Gang were fighting with more than 20 young hooligans from the Green Gang.
Since the gang leader Wang Yaqiao was killed, the Ax Gang fell apart overnight and was divided into more than a dozen gangs. At this time, one of the gangs was merging with the Green Gang. Because the neighborhoods where protection fees were collected were highly overlapping, the two gangs
There will be a war between people every once in a while, but this time the scale of the war is slightly larger.
As a result, there was a fight, and suddenly there was a flood of footsteps from both ends of the alley.
The more than 30 gangsters who were fighting subconsciously turned around and saw dozens of armed policemen rushing in from both ends of the alley. Moreover, these dozens of policemen were completely different from the policemen they had encountered before.
They were armed with batons, and they would warn before taking action, but these patrol officers were armed with guns, and without saying a word after rushing in, they shot and killed two young hooligans who tried to resist.
When the remaining hooligans saw this, they quickly put their heads in their hands and squatted down.
After a while, more than thirty hooligans with bruises and swollen faces were escorted out of the alley.
Similar scenes are constantly being staged in the streets and alleys of the Western Concession. Even the Old West District and the French Concession adjacent to the Western Concession are affected, because there is no clear distinction between the Western Concession, the Old West District and the French Concession.
boundary, so the patrol battalion crossed the border and arrested many green-skinned gangsters.
After the news spread, all the young gangsters in Shanghai were in panic. Big gangsters like Huang Jinrong and other youth gangs took action immediately, making appointments and even visiting in person the police chiefs and inspectors of each concession. These gangster tycoons were afraid that the concession workers would
The department was determined to deal with them, and everyone was extremely anxious.
