At eight o'clock in the evening, it was already the time agreed with Zhou Wei. Xu Bing turned on the radio, then skillfully sent a telegram and started to contact Zhou Wei.
After about ten minutes, he finished sending the telegram, and then said to Li Yunsheng: "Section Chief, I have already sent a telegram to the sparrow, informing him of your visit to me, and asking him to come over to see you as soon as possible, and the sparrow has done the same.
The reply was that he would be there around nine o'clock in the evening."
Li Yunsheng nodded and waited patiently for Zhou Wei's arrival.
Just after nine o'clock in the evening, there was a knock on the door outside, and Xu Bing walked out immediately. Within a minute, Zhou Wei, wearing a suit, walked in quickly under the leadership of Xu Bing.
When Li Yunsheng saw that Zhou Wei didn't look embarrassed, he smiled and said, "It seems that this war has no impact on you," with a hint of joking in his tone.
Zhou Wei said carefully: "With the large financial support provided by the section chief, and the fact that the section chief has reminded me many times before the war, how could my subordinates be in such a panic?" Now Zhou Wei was also a little nervous in his heart. He already knew that his
The intelligence team used a lot more money than others, especially compared with the people at the Shanghai Station. There was a huge difference between the two. However, his intelligence team did not produce any decent results, so he was a little worried.
Li Yunsheng didn't say anything. After all, he sent Zhou Wei to Shanghai just for future plans, and more importantly, as a liaison, so he said, "Can you still contact Crow now?"
Zhou Wei immediately said: "I can get in touch. Since I was notified by the section chief that a war will break out in Shanghai in the near future, my subordinates have made preparations and opened an Oriental Bookstore in the French Concession. When the war is about to start, my subordinates
I entered the French Concession. Since I didn’t know when the section chief would activate the mahjong, I made an agreement with the mahjong to have him come to meet with me every other week unless there was any major accident. The mahjong would always come at the agreed time.
Meet me."
Li Yunsheng nodded, thinking that Zhou Wei was quite smart, so he said, "You will meet him in a few days. Do you have any emergency contact information?"
Zhou Wei immediately replied: "The day after tomorrow is the day that my subordinates and Crow agreed to meet. The time is set at five o'clock in the afternoon. However, my subordinates have no emergency way to contact Crow. After all, as soon as the war started, the Japanese recruited a large number of expatriates.
I armed them so that my subordinates would not dare to enter the Japanese Concession easily, lest they capture the young men, so they could only let the crows contact me."
Li Yunsheng thought for a while and felt that he should not be too anxious. After all, it was a war period. If he contacted Murakami Rokuzhu rashly, he might be noticed by others. It was better to wait patiently, so he said: "At five o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow,
I will go to your place to meet the crow, but you have to be careful so that no one notices me."
Zhou Wei nodded immediately, and then reported the situation of the intelligence team to Li Yunsheng, specifically explaining that he had established several newspapers and trading houses in the concession, and also sent people to the police station in the concession.
When Li Yunsheng learned that Zhou Wei had made so many achievements during this period of time, he couldn't help but be very satisfied, and then said: "Well done, let your people follow you in the concession as much as possible, and follow up with all aspects of the project."
Everyone can be contacted so that useful information can be obtained in the future."
Zhou Wei nodded again, and then asked carefully: "Section Chief, we did not show defeat in this battle. Will the result really be what you said before? We will definitely fail."
Li Yunsheng sighed and said: "Shanghai will definitely fall. After all, the national power gap between China and Japan is huge, otherwise I would not have sent you to Shanghai early. And you have also seen the previous battles. We sent two of the most elite
German armorers, a heavy artillery regiment, and the air force assisted in the battle, but even this failed to wipe out thousands of Japanese marines. Now the Japanese reinforcements have arrived. Although on the surface, the battle is evenly fought, in fact we are behind.
Liafeng, just watch, we will definitely lose this battle."
After hearing Li Yunsheng's explanation, Zhou Wei grimaced, and then the two discussed some things, and Zhou Wei left.
Two days passed quickly, and when the appointed time arrived, Li Yunsheng followed the address left around him and arrived at Oriental Bookstore.
Looking at the location of Dongfang Study Room, Li Yunsheng nodded, thinking that Zhou Wei was still very discerning. Although the study room was not large, it was quite elegant, especially the location was chosen very well. It is also located on Xiafei Road.
It is also not far from the Hongkou Japanese Concession, so it is very convenient for Murakami Liuzhu to come and contact us.
After entering the study room, Zhou Wei took Li Yunsheng to the back room and said, "Section Chief, the crow hasn't come yet, please wait here."
Li Yunsheng said softly: "It's not the appointed time yet, so don't worry. Go out and keep an eye on it first so that no one notices anything unusual."
After listening to Li Yunsheng's words, Zhou Wei turned around and went out without talking nonsense.
But after Li Yunsheng waited for two hours, the bookstore was closed, and Murakami Six Pillars did not come. Seeing this, Zhou Wei on the side couldn't help but said: "Section Chief, there may be some emergency, so the crow didn't
come over."
Li Yunsheng was a little anxious, so he asked: "Has this happened before?"
Zhou Wei replied doubtfully: "This kind of thing has never happened before. Every time the crow comes on time, I don't know what happened this time." He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, thinking that there was no accident every time, but he rushed
When the section chief asked for him, he didn't come.
Li Yunsheng immediately guessed that the Japanese should be taking action. Otherwise, with Murakami's performance in the past two years, he would never break the promise. He did not dare not to come, so he said calmly: "It is wartime after all, maybe there is
It might be an emergency. Let's keep waiting. Maybe he will come in a while. Even if he doesn't come tonight, he will definitely come in the near future."
Zhou Wei also felt that the Murakami Six Pillars would definitely come. After all, he had always attended appointments on time and had no accidents at all, so he waited with Li Yunsheng.
But at ten o'clock, Murakami Rokuzhu didn't come, so Li Yunsheng had to rest all night at Oriental Bookstore, hoping that Murakami Rokuzhu would come tomorrow, but in his heart he was wondering what happened to Murakami Rokuzhu, which prevented him from coming on time.
Fortunately, in the afternoon of the next day, Murakami Liuzhu came on time, and Li Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his voice.
When Zhou Wei in front saw Murakami Rokuzhu coming in, he saw that there was no one else, and immediately said: "What happened yesterday? Why didn't you come as promised?" There was a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone, and he said, "What happened yesterday?"
While pulling Murakami's six pillars towards the back.
The two of them had met several times and got along well, so Murakami Rokuzhu didn't take Zhou Wei's dissatisfaction seriously and said very calmly: "I had something important to do yesterday, so I didn't come over, so don't complain.
There is a war going on right now, so it would be great if I could come out. If I hadn’t been the Minister of Military Procurement and purchased living supplies from the concession, I wouldn’t have been able to come out at all.”
Zhou Wei immediately said: "I'm not complaining, the section chief has been waiting for you all day, but you really didn't come at the critical moment," and then led Murakami Rokuzhu into the back room.
Murakami Liuzhu was shocked when he heard Zhou Wei's words. After entering the room, he saw Li Yunsheng sitting upright in the room. He was a little scared. He thought about why this devil was here. He really didn't want to deal with him, so he said
: "I had something important to do yesterday, so I didn't come over. I'd like to trouble Takeda-kun to wait."
Li Yunsheng immediately said: "Mr. Murakami, if you have something important, why don't you tell me and listen." When Murakami Liuzhu said that he had something important, Li Yunsheng immediately guessed that there must be some military situation, and it was probably the mobilization of Japanese troops.
Murakami Rokuzhu said softly: "I was about to report to you. Yesterday afternoon we held an emergency meeting. It was the brigade commander who conveyed the secret order from his superiors to other officers, so that our Marine Corps should be prepared to serve as the vanguard in two days.
Drive to Hangzhou and prepare to attack Jinshan Guard. Reinforcements have also arrived from China. The reinforcements will land directly from Jinshan Guard, surround the Chinese army from the side, and send troops to attack directly in the direction of Nanjing to cut off the Chinese army's retreat."
The news brought by Murakami Liuzhu surprised Li Yunsheng. Unexpectedly, Japan had increased its troops again, and planned to attack Shanghai from the side and prepare to cut off Shanghai's retreat. Once such a situation happened, the Chinese army would be in danger, so
He immediately said: "What else do you know? Do you have any specific circumstances?"
Murakami Rokuzhu said helplessly: "I'm just a major and a member of the Logistics Department. How can I know the specific situation? It's already very difficult to get this news. If General Kimura hadn't valued me very much, I wouldn't have been able to participate.
Yesterday’s meeting.”
Li Yunsheng was a little disappointed, but then he thought about it. It was very rare to get this news. After all, this was top-secret military information. With this news, the Chinese army could respond in advance and reduce a lot of losses, so he didn't say more, and then thought of himself
The purpose of coming to see Murakami Rokuzhu was, so he said: "You have been to the Nagato No. 1 that is docked by the Huangpu River."
Murakami Rokuzhu immediately said: "Of course I have been there. Nagato is the pride of Japan. Every navy wants to board this battleship to have a look. Since it has sailed to Shanghai, our officers in the Shanghai garrison naturally want to go up and have a look.
"Then he asked with some confusion: "Why do you ask this?"
Hearing that the Murakami Six Pillars had boarded the Nagato, Li Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a sneer: "Of course I plan to blow it up and let Japan's pride sink to the bottom of the sea."
Hearing Li Yunsheng's words, Murakami Rokuzhu immediately looked dumbfounded, and then stammered: "Takeda-kun, you are not kidding, are you planning to sink the Nagato," with a look of disbelief in his tone.
Li Yunsheng said seriously: "Of course it's not a joke, I will blow it up and sink it. Is Murakami-kun surprised?" After saying that, he looked at him with a half-smile.
Hearing that Li Yunsheng was really going to blow up the Nagato, the Murakami Six Pillars froze there, looking at Li Yunsheng with dumbfounded eyes, not knowing what to say.
