Chapter 554: The Withering of the Flower of the Empire 6
In an alley on Lincoln Road in the public concession, there are rows of small yards, all with red brick exterior walls, Shikumen architectural style that combines Chinese and Western styles, two-story small buildings, and the environment is very quiet. 5v八5v八

Ichikawa and his men watched as Su Chengsheng's line entered a courtyard. He immediately sent someone to contact the Special Section 1 and asked for military police support, and at the same time sealed the front and back doors.
But they didn't expect how far the wealthy Chen Mingxiang could go. In a small building in a courtyard at the entrance of the alley, someone was monitoring their actions and using a mirror to send an alarm to the contact point diagonally opposite.
"The Japanese dog agents have followed you here. Hang the shouliudan on the front and back doors. We will evacuate when they attack." Li Qiao said calmly, taking out a cigarette and lighting one.
No one expected that the wall between this contact point and the neighbor's house next to it was actually connected. In other words, two adjacent yards were rented. This is rare in the public concession where land is at a premium. It can be called
Generous.
Why wait until the enemy attacks before retreating?
It's very simple, because the area around the back door is also blocked by the enemy. When the time comes to carry out the arrest, it will definitely be a pincer attack from the front and back. There can only be a few people at one contact point. There is no need to spread out and cause a panic.
About ten minutes later, more than 20 Japanese military police patrolling the concession arrived, with a dozen at the front door and seven or eight at the back, waiting for instructions from the Special Section 1 to carry out the attack.
Li Qiao and his men pushed open the wardrobe in the bedroom, and a hole appeared that could allow adults to pass through. They easily went from this yard to the next yard.
In fact, there is another small passage over the courtyard wall, but they have to wait patiently in the house because there are military police watching nearby.
"Report to the team leader, we are ready to arrest, shall we launch an attack immediately?" said a Japanese spy.
"It is now ten-fifteen. At ten-twenty we will launch an attack from the front and back at the same time. The people inside must not be allowed to escape!" Ichikawa looked at his watch and said.
Will this act to alert the enemy and expose Su Chengsheng's "rebellion"?
Of course not. First of all, the Special Section did not arrest Su Chengsheng at his home or during the meeting, which eliminates his suspicion. Secondly, there are Japanese spies in the public concession, so it is reasonable for the contact point to be exposed.
, who knows when he was targeted?
"Boom, boom!"
This time it was indeed a pincer attack. Four military policemen were killed on the spot, and five military policemen and secret agents were seriously injured. There were shouliudan hanging on the front and rear doors, and they would ignite as soon as the door was pushed!
The sound of baozha attracted all the nearby military police who were on guard duty to the scene of the incident. This was a normal reaction. Taking advantage of the panic, Li Qiao and his men climbed up the wall and entered the small passage, and then quickly escaped.
"It's so cunning. This is definitely not an ordinary agent. He is very calm and experienced in combat. Moreover, this intelligence station is very powerful. It rented two yards as contact points at one time just to deal with the current situation!" Ichikawa gritted his teeth.
said.
His arm was injured by the fragments of Shouliudan, and his forehead was so painful that he was sweating. However, there were so many casualties in this operation, and he was also worried that he would be held accountable by the Military Police Headquarters. The pain was secondary, the key was fear.
Nanzou Yunzi ignored Ichikawa. Her attention was attracted by the harvest in the house. She actually found a radio station and some scattered messages, especially the latter, which were of immeasurable value.
"Mingxiang, Nan Zaoyunzi saw what we asked her to see. According to the telegram, she will definitely think of Lin Zhijiang." Wang Zhen looked at Chen Mingxiang with some admiration.
Up to now, every step of Chen Mingxiang's plan has been perfect, and Nan Zao Yunzi has been completely led by the nose.
"Once Nan Zao Yunzi suspects Lin Zhijiang, he will send someone to monitor him and tell Li Qiao to ask his subordinate Song Sihai to bring samples of tobacco soil to Lin Zhijiang. Contact him several times and slowly negotiate terms." Chen Mingxiang said.
Major General Kinoshita Sakae's face turned dark again. If Yunzi Minami hadn't seized the radio station and important documents of the underground military organization this time, he would have slapped her again.
Four died on the spot, and two were sent to the hospital without resuscitation. That's six military policemen, and it can be considered a major casualty incident.
Of course, it's not a big deal, just report and transfer a few over. There are plenty of recruits in the Tokyo Military Police School. During the war, no one will die. Isn't that a fantasy!
"Humph, I've said it before. Nan Zao Yunzi has always failed more than succeeded. If you ask her to do something, you have to make some mistakes. A bunch of stupid pigs don't know how to climb the wall and put them behind the door.
Shouliudan, these military reunification elements are almost worn out, and they still haven’t learned their lesson!” Kinoshita Eichi said.
"Your Excellency, General, Miss Yunzi has gained a lot this time. Please stop blaming her. Mistakes will inevitably occur at work, and mistakes will be made when doing things."
"For every military policeman who sacrifices his life for the empire, I will provide a pension to his family according to the rank of second lieutenant. It is about two hundred US dollars a year, and I will give each person four hundred US dollars." Chen Mingxiang said very generously.
According to the exchange rate between Japanese yen and U.S. dollars, it was four to one before the war. These four hundred U.S. dollars are equivalent to sixteen hundred yen. Now the exchange rate is even more, which is really a lot.
"Chen Jun is indeed a loyal follower of the Empire of Japan and our Military Police Headquarters. I would like to thank you on behalf of these families. You must have something to do with me, right?" Kinoshita Eiichi said with a smile.
"Your Excellency, General, it's like this. You also know that the group of British and American directors in the public concession had some friendship with me before. They came to me to plead with Your Excellency, General. The food is really not enough. If this continues, people will die."
"What they mean is that Fenghua Company's grain store will supply one hundred shi of rice and one hundred shi of corn to the public settlement every month to maintain the normal survival of foreigners. For this, they have a small kindness. I will wait for you tonight
Delivered to your home." Chen Mingxiang said.
"The quantity is not large, so it can barely keep the consumption at a minimum, but this is against the imperial army's prohibition. You will really give me a problem!"
"Okay, do it in a subtle way, don't make a fuss and end badly, just enter this number and I'll say hello to the Huxi Military Police." Kinoshita Eichi said.
One hundred stones of rice and one hundred stones of corn per month was nothing to him. He didn't even bother to take a commission. He didn't have much money in total and couldn't open his mouth. What's more, what Chen Mingxiang said was definitely true.
Very generous and much more affordable than commission.
Kinoshita Sakae also knew that since Chen Mingxiang was willing to be the middleman and supplier, he must have reaped a lot of benefits. The actual amount of grain transported to the public settlement must be more than this number.
But food is not a weapon and does not pose any threat.
What's especially important is that half of it is corn, which is in line with the requirements of the imperial army. All people eat in Shanghai is rice, so just turn a blind eye and forget it! 11
