Lost and Spy

Chapter 414 The Scarlet Project

On November 1937, 11, Meng Shaoyuan, who had been staying in Shanghai, ordered "Operation Scarlet" to begin!
The so-called "Operation Scarlet" has only one goal, which is to concentrate the forces remaining in Shanghai and carry out large-scale assassination operations against traitors.

Traitors are always an indignant, but helpless thing.

Kill a batch, and another batch will emerge, endless killing, endless killing!

But the harm it brings, to some extent, far exceeds that of an army.

The location of Hu Zongnan's 17th Corps Headquarters was discovered by the traitor Kaneda Takashi, who secretly reported it to the Japanese.

The Japanese army quickly dispatched a force to advance lightly and raided the headquarters of the 17th Army.

As a result, Hu Zongnan's headquarters staff and guard company were almost wiped out. As the chief of staff of a large army, Hu Zongnan managed to escape with only a few staff officers.

The rampant cooperation between the traitors and the Japanese army has reached a very serious level.

Especially when the situation in Shanghai is becoming more and more favorable to Japan.

Those who had taken refuge in the Japanese before were elated and cheered for the Japanese master.Those who were still wavering before quickly turned themselves into traitors.

And the number of this team is still expanding.

In order to combat the arrogance of these people, Meng Shaoyuan specially formulated the "Scarlet Project". In his own words:
Let Shanghai become red!
There are no specific goals, a plan given to everyone.

Just one thing:
Scatter action, traitor, kill!Anyone suspected of collaborating with the enemy, kill them!Those who advocate Japan, kill!

The task was mainly completed by the Yuan Zhonghe and Zhu Yanni detachments who stayed in Shanghai.

The agents under the command of Wu Jingyi carried out cooperative operations.

And the traitor Kaneda Takashi who almost helped the Japanese kill Hu Zongnan will be executed by Meng Shaoyuan himself!
This task is still challenging.

Takashi Kaneda lived in a Japanese-controlled area. Although he was not directly protected by the Japanese, the streets were full of Japanese soldiers, and he would be arrested if he was not careful.

It is precisely because of this that Takashi Kaneda arrogantly shouted the slogan "I am a hardcore traitor, and I am dedicated to serving the Great Japanese Empire".

So arrogant.

It is said that apart from Meng Shaoyuan, the other military agents were also intent on killing him.

If such a person continues to keep him alive, it is obviously extremely harmful.

Meng Shaoyuan left the public concession he was familiar with and made him feel like a fish in water.

Startled at every step.

If he is not careful, he will become a prisoner of the Japanese.

Chinese troops retreating can be seen everywhere.

No one cared about this young man who was going upside down and heading towards the Japanese-controlled area.

Above the head, there are Japanese planes whizzing past.

"Stop! Stop!"

Several sharp bayonets were aimed at Meng Shaoyuan.

Finally, he encountered the Japanese army.

Meng Shaoyuan raised his hand calmly: "Japanese, Kudo Shinichi, I am Kudo Shinichi!"

A second lieutenant of the Japanese army came over with suspicion: "Japanese?"

"Yes, sir." Meng Shaoyuan put down his hand: "I'm from the public concession, my name is Kudo Shinichi, and I'm from Kyoto."

The second lieutenant's doubts had already been reduced a lot by speaking Japanese with a Kyoto accent.

Then, Meng Shaoyuan's next sentence made the second lieutenant completely believe him:

"The captain of the Asama Detachment, General Asama Akutagawa is my friend. Also, Captain Hashimoto is also my friend. They can prove my identity."

"Ah, you know General Asama." The second lieutenant signaled the people around him to put down their guns: "Yesterday I also saw the Asama Detachment, their casualties were heavy, and the task of continuing to advance has been defeated by the Guoqi Detachment of the Tenth Army. Replaced. Also, I also got news that Captain Hashimoto died in battle."

"what?"

Meng Shaoyuan had a surprised expression: "Not long ago, I also saw Captain Hashimoto, who was leading his soldiers to raid the Chinese positions."

Having said that, the Second Lieutenant no longer had any doubts: "Yes, it was during that raid that he was attacked by the Chinese people crazily. The brave Captain Hashimoto served His Majesty the Emperor at that time."

such a pity.

It's not that it's a pity that Hashimoto died, but that Meng Shaoyuan will lose a guy who can be used in the future.

"The Asama Detachment is undergoing repairs at Lukouqiao." The second lieutenant pointed him in the direction: "We have already controlled everything from here, except for those damn military agents, you don't have to worry about being attacked anymore."

"Thank you, sir."

Along the way, Meng Shaoyuan encountered more than one Japanese army like this, but with his fluent Japanese and the brand of "Asama Akutagawa", he was safe every time.

Even, there were two wounded Japanese soldiers who retreated and took him to Lukouqiao on their own initiative.

No one thought that this young man "Kudo Shinichi" was a senior Chinese spy who was regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the Japanese secret service.

Obviously, the war has progressed to the present, and the Asama Detachment, which has participated in countless battles, large and small, has indeed suffered a lot of losses.

Wounded soldiers awaiting treatment can be seen everywhere.

The long-term battle exhausted the Japanese soldiers.Some sat there drinking water, trying to get the rice balls into their mouths, and some simply lay on the ground and fell asleep.

The three-month war let these confident Japanese soldiers know that it is not as easy as they imagined to conquer a country like China.

A Japanese soldier with a broken leg kept moaning there.

Meng Shaoyuan made several movements. He squatted down and comforted the soldier in a low voice, then stood up and shouted, "Where is the doctor? Bastard, where is the doctor!"

"Kudo-kun."

Asama Akutagawa's voice sounded behind him: "There are too many wounded soldiers, and they are being treated there in batches. The troops advancing one after another on the front line need doctors more."

"General Asama."

Meng Shaoyuan turned around and bowed: "It's great to see you again."

He deliberately made those actions in order to make the Japanese soldiers here feel good about him.

Asama Akutagawa and him are old friends, and through "Kudo Shinichi", he also made himself a fortune. In addition, he witnessed the actions of "Kudo Shinichi" with his own eyes, which made him even more satisfied:
"Kudou-kun, I am also very happy to see that you are safe and sound. Did you bring the person from last time back?"

"Yes, I brought it back successfully."

"Is there something wrong with you this time?"

"I am representing the Japanese expatriate in the foreign concession, and I am here to do something swift and capable for the empire." Meng Shaoyuan took out some medicines from the bag he carried with him:
"The expatriates worked hard to buy some medicines and asked me to bring them out, hoping to save a few more soldiers of the empire!"

What a childish, yet adorable expatriate.

This was the thought that came to Asama Akutagawa's mind.

This amount of medicine is not important at all, but this is after all the wishes of the expatriates.

"Thank you, Kudo-kun, thank those expats on my behalf."

Meng Shaoyuan immediately interjected, "I think the Chinese people here can do more for us."
