Lost and Spy

Chapter 803 Newcomer Performance
On July 1938, 7, the Lushan Defense War started.

Neiji Okamura, the smug commander of the No. 11 Japanese Army, had no idea what kind of fierce resistance he would encounter in Lushan.

Prior to this, it was Neiji Okamura who put forward an "unique and unparalleled" suggestion before the outbreak of the Wuhan Defense War:

Sign a combat contract!
That's right, the combat contract, which is absolutely rare in the history of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign wars, really happened to the arrogant Japanese army!

Before the outbreak of the Battle of Wuhan, since the Japanese army attacked Wuhan from Nanjing mainly westward along the banks of the Yangtze River, fire cover and military transportation on the Yangtze River surface became necessary.

So how did the Japanese Army and Navy in Central China negotiate?Sign the contract!

The two military services of a country need to sign a "cooperation agreement" during combat operations, which is definitely a major "innovation".

Neiji Okamura, who first put forward this "innovation", explained to his immediate boss "Commander of the Central China Dispatch Army" Hata Shunroku: Since the attack on Wuhan needs to take the Yangtze River waterway, the army and navy will cooperate and contact each other at all times, so the dispatch army should Sign a series of agreements with the navy to ensure that the army and the navy will not buy each other in the battle, otherwise there will be no peace.

Neiji Okamura's request is not groundless. In the previous battles to occupy Qingdao and LYG, the Japanese army and navy had many disputes. The navy with high self-esteem often made the army angry but helpless.

For example, when entering Qingdao, because the Marine Corps took the first step, they requisitioned many good buildings in the city, but the troops of the 5th Division of the Army, which arrived late, could not find a house to live in. Rush situation.

As for LYG, an important port in Jiangsu, the Army Staff Headquarters originally planned to use the 101st Division to capture it. As a result, the Navy decided to send the Marine Corps first and occupied it, which angered the Army.

As for whether to attack Wuhan from North China or to go west from Nanjing to Jiangxi, the Japanese navy, which has always been opposed to the army, strongly supports the latter plan for the first time. Without it, if it attacks along the Yangtze River, the navy can justifiably blend in. went in.

The Sixth General Hata Toshi believed that Neiji Okamura's suggestion was very reasonable, "it is inevitable", so under the coordination and witness of the representatives of the Tokyo base camp, the Central China Expeditionary Force, the 11th Army Command, and the Navy's " Between the "Chinese Fleet", the "11th Squadron" responsible for the implementation, and the Army Air Corps, a series of agreements were usually signed on a revolving door, and the war can only start after all devils, big and small, are they weird?
This "remarkable" contract was not a glorious thing in the first place. It was a top secret, and it was leaked out of nowhere.

An American newspaper was the first to disclose it, and then Chinese and foreign newspapers, large and small, published the anecdote.

This made the Japanese government and the army and navy feel ashamed. While eager to deny it, they strictly investigated who leaked the news internally.

Meng Shaoyuan put down the newspaper and couldn't help laughing for a long time.

Japan is such a wonderful country, sometimes I really don't know what is going on in their minds.

"Boss Meng, we're docking."

Back to Shanghai.

It feels so good.

And this time I came back with ease.

All the family members were sent to Chongqing, and I no longer had any worries.

Handed the newspaper to Gan Ning: "Here, the signing of the combat contract between the Japanese army and the navy, seize the opportunity and make a big fuss for me. The bigger the noise, the better."

"Understood. Boss Meng, let's get off the boat first."

It was still Wu Jingyi who came to pick Meng Shaoyuan up.

As soon as he got in the car, it didn't take long to report. Meng Shaoyuan, who was in a good mood, gradually turned gloomy.

Kenji Doihara finally came.

The Doihara Agency has officially started operation!
In fact, this has always been the news that Meng Shaoyuan didn't want to hear, even though he also knew that it would happen sooner or later.

"We have already done something to us." Wu Jingyi looked serious: "Many of our contact points have been destroyed."

"Did you fight back?"

"Counterattack." Wu Jingyi interjected: "We also launched a surprise attack on the contact points of the Japanese army in the public concession that we have mastered. Although some results have been achieved, the Japanese specialties of these contact points have obviously received warnings before. Some have already evacuated ahead of schedule, and some have put up fierce resistance, causing us some casualties."

"It's changed."

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly murmured something.

The sky in Shanghai is about to change.

"Bang, bang, bang"!
Suddenly, gunshots rang out.

The driver made a turn, stepped on the accelerator, accelerated for a certain distance, and at a corner, slammed on the brakes to stop the car.

"The tire is punctured." The driver was very calm: "Get out of the car!"

Almost imperative.

Meng Shaoyuan and Wu Jingyi opened the car door and rushed out at the same time.

The bullet chased desperately in this direction.

The driver remained calm, took out his pistol and fired back a few shots: "Cover me!"

Wu Jingyi emptied a magazine at the place where the gunshots came from.

Under her cover, the driver took out two submachine guns from the trunk, threw one to Wu Jingyi, and then swept out the bullets.

Meng Shaoyuan lit a cigarette, and it seemed that the ongoing gun battle had nothing to do with him at all.

The crossfire of two submachine guns quickly stopped the killer.

After a while, there was another intensive gunshot around him.

It's just that this is shooting towards the killer's position.

Military protection agents have arrived.

Obviously, the killer knew that the best time to assassinate had been lost, so he evacuated here in an orderly manner without too much entanglement.

A cigarette has not been smoked yet, and the assassination crisis is resolved.

"Boss Meng, the killer has escaped." Gan Ning walked over and said, "It's safe."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded and glanced at the driver: "Name."

"Wei Feng."

"Wei Feng? Prestige?"

Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "You dare to order me, you are quite courageous."

"Report sir, the situation was urgent at that time, I took protecting the chief as the first priority, and didn't think much about the others."

"You are courageous and your driving skills are excellent, very good." Meng Shaoyuan looked satisfied: "From now on, you will be my full-time driver, and your salary will be doubled."

"Thank you, sir." Wei Feng didn't look happy.

Another car was changed, and Wei Feng was still driving. As soon as she got into the car, Wu Jingyi said, "It was my negligence that caused you to be in danger. I request punishment."

"It wasn't an assassination against me." Meng Shaoyuan pondered there: "If the Japanese wanted to kill me, there wouldn't be only such a small movement. Judging from the gunshots just now, there were only seven or eight killers. So few people think Get rid of me? The Japanese don’t take me too seriously. For you? There are also too few people.”

"The killer is prepared." Wu Jingyi frowned: "However, I notified when to leave and what tasks to do before departure. It is impossible for the Japanese to know in advance."

"Sir, I may know what's going on."

Wei Feng said suddenly.

This time, Meng Shaoyuan and Wu Jingyi became interested at the same time: "Tell me."

"It's like this. You have a habit, Assistant Wu." Wei Feng is not afraid of anything: "Every time you have a mission, although you give the order before departure, you always go to the parking lot to check the vehicle. Often By this time, I knew there must be a mission.”

Meng Shaoyuan heard something: "You know? You discovered this?"

"Yes, I found out." Wei Feng admitted frankly: "And I roughly guessed who leaked this operation."

"Let's talk." Meng Shaoyuan was very interested.

"A few days ago, I found out that Assistant Wu went to check the car again, so I told my good friend Lu Yuji, who shared the same dormitory with me, to get ready, and the task was about to start. It turned out that an hour later, there was a real task. When I returned to the dormitory at night, Lu Yuji asked me how I knew it, and I thought it was nothing, so I told him the reason."

Meng Shaoyuan also understood when he heard this: "So, the one who betrayed the information was either Lu Yuji, or he told other people about it. As long as we open a breakthrough from this direction, we can know the truth."

Wei Feng stopped talking.

"When did he come?" Meng Shaoyuan asked.

"It's a newcomer sent by He Ruyi from the Taihu training base." Wu Jingyi quickly interfaced: "It's been two months since I came here, and it's still in the assessment stage. He Ruyi's evaluation of him is, 'good at observing, calm and composed, but disciplined. Slightly inferior, the upper limit is the person in charge of the district and station, and the lower limit is the squadron leader.'”

Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Wei Feng, the person in charge of the district and station is very different from the squadron leader. Do you know why your teacher stretched your upper and lower limits so far?"

"Discipline." Wei Feng said without thinking: "The teacher's evaluation is not wrong, my discipline is indeed problematic, I should not tell my roommates about my findings, but should report to Assistant Wu. "

"Wu Jingyi, what about you?" Meng Shaoyuan asked again: "The driver is an important position, and there is a big problem with discipline. Why do you let him be in charge of driving?"

Wu Jingyi said lightly: "In our military command, there are many people who obey discipline, but they are good at observation and calm, which are highly praised. There are not many such people. This cannot be cultivated, but discipline can be cultivated. "

Meng Shaoyuan said "Yes": "Wei Feng performed very well just now, and he was not chaotic in the face of danger. I have already given him double salary, which is a reward. But he told others what he found without authorization, which is a serious violation of discipline. Give him a punishment." After going back, we will be locked up for three days, Wei Feng, please reflect on yourself."

"I accept the punishment." Wei Feng drove steadily: "In these three days, I will copy the discipline of the organization three hundred times."

This newcomer is still very promising, especially the person recommended by He Ruyi, who can never be wrong.

From Gan Ning and others before, to Yu Yanchu later, to Wei Feng in front of him, these people will soon take on important responsibilities!
