Seeing that Kentaro Miyazaki still looked dissatisfied with his expression, his expression was full of disdain for the New Fourth Army of the Red Party. Hitotaro Imamura did not say anything, but opened the filing cabinet directly, took out a pile of documents and threw them to him.
Cheng Qianfan took the document with both hands and took it apart.
This is a pile of military minutes about the battle between the Empire Locust Army and the New Fourth Army.
In June, the New Fourth Army attacked Hushuguan Station, an important imperial stronghold on the railway line at night, and wiped out more than 50 people below the Imperial Guard Captain Yamamoto and a squadron of appeasement. At the same time, the New Fourth Army also blew up an iron bridge and blew up the railway tracks, forcing the transportation of the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway to be interrupted for three days.
In July, the New Fourth Army crossed the railway line again and entered Qingpu, Shanghai, and fought four battles with the Qingpu Public Security Team within a week, greatly threatening the railway line along Qingpu.
The entry of the New Fourth Army into Qingpu is also a landmark event, which means that the New Fourth Army has completely entered the western suburbs of Shanghai, which has greatly affected the empire's rule over Shanghai, especially the Chinese people in Shanghai, causing a great threat to the locust army stationed in Shanghai.
The empire immediately dispatched troops from various places, dispatched tanks and armored vehicles to launch a large-scale mobilization of Qingpu Dongxiang.
In August, the Empire broke out in fierce battles with the New Fourth Army near Guanyin Hall. The New Fourth Army's resistance was very tenacious, and the locust army's military target of sweeping Guanyin Hall was frustrated.
According to statistics from the Imperial Military, the New Fourth Army has already restrained one-sixth of the Locust Army's troops in the occupied areas in central China.
In particular, half of the about 26 garrison troops deployed by the Empire in central China often fought against the New Fourth Army. In addition, nearly 100,000 other "minister troops" who defected to the Empire were almost all used to deal with the New Fourth Army.
According to statistics, in more than a year, the Locust Army had fought more than a thousand battles with the New Fourth Army, and suffered huge losses.
...
"Nani!" Cheng Qianfan exclaimed, with an incredible expression in his eyes, "These simple-equipped peasant army actually caused such a big trouble to the locust army?"
"Although the New Fourth Army of the Red Party is simple and the number of people is smaller than that of the surrounding Kuomintang troops, their will to fight is firm." Imamura Hitaro said with a serious expression, "The most important thing is that they will take the initiative to attack the locust army instead of being constantly engaged in combat. This kind of military force must be in the first strike sequence, do you understand?"
"Hayi!" Cheng Qianfan nodded respectfully and said.
He understood what Imamura Hitaro meant. For those Chinese troops who fled around the locust army when they encountered it, it was just a scabies, and it was not worth worrying about. However, for Chinese troops such as the Red Party New Fourth Army that not only did not hide, but would even take the initiative to attack the locust army, they must focus on attacking the Chinese army and destroy the backbone of the Chinese army's daring to fight.
At this moment, Cheng Qianfan showed surprise. He actually saw a statistics on the results of the New Fourth Army in this document.
This is a statistics of the combat record of the New Fourth Army from May 27th to the present year of the Republic of China.
It is divided into seizure results, blasting results, captives and enemy casualties.
The seizure results are divided into: weapons and ammunition, military supplies and other.
Among weapons and ammunition, there are 3021 long guns, 164 short guns, 83 machine guns, 26 bayonets, 1 mortar, 1 small steel cannon, 6 grenades, 29 bombs, 1 poison gas bomb, 2 rifle grenades, 2 smoke bombs, 199 grenades, 84041 rounds of gun bullets, 7 boxes, 31 shells, 16 boxes, etc.
The blasting results are also subdivided into combat equipment, transportation equipment, roads, electric materials, etc.
These include destroying one enemy aircraft, three motorboats, three ships, etc.
91 Japanese officers and soldiers were captured and 1,449 puppet army officers and soldiers were captured.
There were 13,317 casualties from the enemy, and 3,953 casualties from our side.
"This is impossible!" Cheng Qianfan was a little excited when he held this statistics list.
"Bag Duck!" Imamura Hitotaro scolded Kentaro Miyazaki and signaled him to calm down, "Kentaro, you're too noisy!"
"Teacher, this report says that nearly a hundred Locust Army officers and soldiers were captured by the New Fourth Army!" Cheng Qianfan said excitedly, "They are spreading rumors. This is a slander and humiliation of the loyal and brave Locust Army warriors."
"The Chinese army has always liked to exaggerate the results of the war, so I don't have to pay attention to it." Imamura Hitotaro glanced at Kentaro Miyazaki and said lightly.
"Hai." Cheng Qianfan heard what Imamura Hitotaro said, and his face showed a sigh of relief.
He sneered in his heart.
On the one hand, Hitaro Imamura was angry because he was dissatisfied with the New Fourth Army and scolded him for facing the threats that the New Fourth Army might bring. On the other hand, the slander of the New Fourth Army's results statistics "taken for granted" was to deliberately exaggerate and spread rumors.
The reason is very direct. The Japanese army has always been unwilling to admit that there were Japanese officers and soldiers who were captured by Chinese troops. In the Japanese army's war reports, only the warriors who bravely fought for His Majesty the Emperor, would never be captured, let alone the so-called "desergeants".
...
"Chu Mingyu is still seeking the Executive Yuan?" Imamura Hitotaro asked after taking a sip of tea.
"Yes, teacher." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Chu Mingyu's biggest wish is to take charge of the Executive Yuan."
As he said that, he couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, do you think Chu Mingyu has great hope?"
"Tell me your opinion first." Imamura Hitaro asked resentfully without answering.
Cheng Qianfan did not answer immediately, but thought for a while before speaking, "Teacher, I still prefer that Chu Mingyu has hope."
He paused and continued, "Chu Mingyu is still capable, the most important thing is that he is deeply trusted by Wang Baihai and his wife..."
"At the right time, you can persuade Chu Mingyu to seek the position of vice president." Imamura Hitotaro shook his head and said.
"Vice President..." Cheng Qianfan thought, "That president is, is it Chen Nanhai or Zhou Liang..."
He frowned slightly at Hitotaro Imamura, but when he saw Hitotaro Imamura smile, his heart moved, "The teacher means that Wang Baihai will not delegate power, he will..."
"It's just speculation." Imamura Hitotaro shook his head, "With the temperament of Wang Baihai..."
As he said that, he smiled.
Cheng Qianfan nodded and understood what Teacher Imamura meant.
Wang, who was so arrogant that he became more and more reluctant to give up his power.
...
The car was walking through the streets of Hongkou, and Cheng Qianfan sat in the back seat with his eyes closed and pretended to sleep.
This time he visited Hitaro Imamura, he was exposed to two important information.
First, according to Imamura Hitaro's judgment, Wang Baihai seemed not at ease to hand over the position of President of the Executive Yuan to others, and he intended to also take over the position of President of the Executive Yuan.
And based on Cheng Qianfan's understanding of Imamura Hitaro, this should not only be derived from Imamura Hitaro's personal inference, or in other words, it is possible that Wang has expressed similar demands to the Japanese side through some channels.
Yes, Wang Baihai wants to serve as the President of the Executive Yuan as a "leader". It would be impossible without the Japanese nodding.
There is another information, which is the statistics table of the New Fourth Army's battle results that he saw in the documents he saw with Hitaro Imamura and him.
Judging from Cheng Qianfan's vision and experience, the report is true.
In other words, this is indeed a statistical report on the results of the New Fourth Army.
Such reports will only appear in the hands of staff at higher levels or very critical positions.
Then, the enemy actually had such a report on the outcome of the New Fourth Army in his hands, which made Cheng Qianfan highly vigilant, and even the more he thought, the more he felt creepy.
Is it that an important person was arrested. Was this document captured by the enemy along with the arrest of this comrade?
Or did the enemy obtain relevant information through some means?
If it is the latter, it means that there are important spies with enemies within me.
Yes, the war report itself may not be considered highly confidential, but the meaning behind this matter is not simple.
...
A squeak.
A sudden brake.
Cheng Qianfan's forehead hit the back of the seat. He almost subconsciously touched the briefcase, pulled out Browning's short gun, his eyes were too long and dangerous.
"Brother Fan, is it okay?" Haozi asked quickly.
"I'm fine." Cheng Qianfan said lightly, his right finger did not leave the trigger, and he looked ahead of the vehicle alertly.
This is when a mule cart suddenly became stubborn and blocked the middle of the road. Haozi had to brake urgently.
Li Hao did not get off the car, and the bodyguard vehicle stopped. The two got off the car and guarded them alertly on both sides of Xiao Cheng's car. Hou Pingliang brought a person forward with a weapon to check the situation, while the driver of the bodyguard vehicle did not turn off the engine and was ready to respond at any time.
Bang bang bang bang.
Several gunshots.
Cheng Qianfan raised a sneer on the corner of his mouth. He looked in the car very clearly, as if he saw that he, the master, had not got out of the car, so the other party could only force himself to act. The driver who drove the mule cart was about to pull out the short gun from his waist. He was shot by Hou Pingliang and the gun also landed on the ground.
At the same time, another bodyguard shot and killed the mule in succession.
This is the right way to deal with it, and a mule is also one of the great dangers.
Especially the frightened mules.
The gunshot shocked a man behind the tree on the roadside. The man ran away. Hou Pingliang shot the man twice in the back. After being shot, the man gritted his teeth and fled.
Hou Pingliang waved and signaled another vehicle on the periphery to follow from a distance, secretly alerting him to come. He searched around and confirmed that there was no danger. Then he invited Brother Fan to get out of the car.
The injured coachman has been tied up with a rope.
Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette, took a few sips, then squatted down, whipped the assassin's face with the gloves he had just taken off and said, "Where's from?"
The injured coachman said nothing.
Cheng Qianfan smiled, smiling brightly, and he said, "It's hard bones."
As he said that, Cheng Qianfan took two sips of cigarettes, and then pressed the red sparks on the coachman's face, "Why do you have to?"
The coachman let out a shrill scream.
"Say, Wo said, Wo said."
"Wo, the Wo are Boss Zhang's people."
...
Cheng Qianfan was really unpredictable at this time.
The person who assassinated him at the Bund Pier and confessed that he was the sixth group of the Military Control Commission in Shanghai, and that the Military Control Commission wanted to kill him.
After careful consideration, Cheng Qianfan believed that the Military Control Commission should not do anything to himself at this time.
However, experience and intuition told him that this assassin named Xiang Wei was indeed the Military Control Commission, which also means that the assassination on the Bund did come from the Military Control Commission Shanghai District.
In the attempted assassin just now, the assassin who was captured alive quickly confessed.
Assassin Wu Mingfa, a native of Pengcheng who was seeking life in Shanghai, confessed that he was Zhang Xiaolin's man and assassinated the "Xiao Cheng" of the French Concession under the order of the boss Zhang's housekeeper Sui Erqi.
Torture room in the central police room.
Cheng Qianfan looked at Wu Mingfa who was tortured and bloody, and his expression was gloomy.
Wu Ming’s request for supply should be no problem, and the confession is credible.
In other words, this person is indeed Zhang Xiaolin's person, and he was ordered by Zhang Xiaolin's housekeeper Sui Erqi.
However, Cheng Qianfan had a strange feeling. This feeling was that, unless Zhang Xiaolin was crazy, he should not have sent someone to assassinate him at this time. It was not that Zhang Xiaolin did not hate him anymore, but that with Zhang Xiaolin's wrists and hatred for him, in this situation where he had just been assassinated, he would either not choose to take action at this time, or he would give all his strength once he did it, instead of sending such two crappy guys to take action.
Therefore, after interrogation, this assassination incident, which seemed to be without any suspicion, was also strange.
Just like not far from Wu Mingfa, Xiang Wei was tied to the torture frame. This person was dead, and his death was strange.
This man was poisoned to death.
Lu Jiu decoupled his order and took Xiang Wei back from Jin Kemu. Not long after he was tortured again, Xiang Wei became unconscious and foamed at the mouth.
After the medical officer Lao Huang, who is skilled in medicine, initially judged that Xiang Wei died of poisoning.
"Interesting", Cheng Qianfan glanced at Wu Mingfa who had fainted, and then looked at Xiang Wei who was poisoned to death. He muttered, and then snorted heavily.
Central Police Office, General Administration Office.
"Don't Uncle Jin want to give an explanation to my nephew?" Cheng Qianfan did not hold a cigarette in his mouth, nor did he hold a cigarette in his hand. He just tweaked the lighter in his hand and said with a slight smile.
...
No. 76, Jisifeier Road.
"Director, after a preliminary search by his subordinates, no one was found nicknamed "Little Taoist"." Rong Yun was reporting the secret investigation results to Su Chende.
"No matter how you are a 'little Taoist priest'," Su Chende pondered, "You can be a 'taoist' and a 'taoist priest' in your nickname."
After pausing, he added, "Even, the 'Tao Niang' can do it."
"Director." Rong Yun said, "I have investigated it. There are six people with the Taoist priest and nine people with the Taoist priest."
As he said that, he smiled bitterly, "I am stupid and didn't expect to check for the words "Tao Niang".
"However, my subordinates made an unexpected discovery during the secret investigation." Rong Yun said.
Su Chende nodded slightly and signaled Rong Yun to continue speaking.
"I won't say those fake Taoist priests in white, nor do I say those nicknamed "Taoist priests" or something." Rong Yun said, "Many of those real bulls have an anti-Japanese tendency."
