Lost and Spy

Chapter 951 Entering Wuhan Again
With Wakisaka Jiro's escort, the journey was safe and sound.

The reason why it is called "near danger" is that it was attacked by guerrilla armed forces twice along the way.

I don't know if it is the guerrillas of the National Army or the guerrillas of the Fourth Route Army.

In short, the table tennis was very lively.

The five Japanese soldiers who were in charge of the escort were still of high military quality.

After being attacked, they immediately built a defensive line on the spot.

They do not take the initiative to attack, but rely on automobile and terrain defense.

They also knew very well that once these guerrillas attacked unfavorably, they would soon retreat for fear of attracting nearby Japanese troops.

Meng Shaoyuan also thought there, he has come here after a narrow escape, and if he really died at the hands of his own people, it would be too uneconomical.

Fortunately, Meng Shaoyuan entered Wuhan alive.

Meng Shaoyuan is such a person, you can't give him a crack, as long as you let him see a glimmer of light, he will slip in like a loach.

Wakizaka Jiro became his talisman.

An amulet used to allow him to move relatively freely in Wuhan.

After the fall of Wuhan, Wuhan became a hell on earth.

When the troops of the Nationalist Government withdrew from Wuhan, they left a lot of food piled up in the Catholic Church in the Third District of Hankou, preparing to feed the refugees who had not left in time.

After the Japanese invaded and occupied Wuhan, they drove out all the refugees in the special third district, and the food for the refugees was completely deprived by the Japanese army.

However, although the Japanese army took away the mountains of food, they could not carry it, and they could not get a single strong man in the urban area of ​​WH.

So it was whimsical, in the name of "compassion to refugees", printed many leaflets and distributed them in refugee areas. The leaflets stipulated that every refugee could bring his own pole and basket to the Catholic Church to buy rice. ;Anyone who buys rice, as long as he has a pole and a basket with him, can pass through the enemy's outpost without a pass. After arriving at the Catholic Church, he must first pay for the certificate and fill in the certificate as "worker" and "businessman" , "Self-eater", and then pick the rice according to the voucher.

When the hungry refugees got the news, they didn't know it was a trick of the enemy, so they went to buy rice one after another. Sure enough, there was no trouble along the way. Moreover, when they picked rice, they would get another bucket or several liters for every stone of rice. The refugee said: This is a special favor from the imperial army.

Unexpectedly, after the Catholic Church was picked out, there were sentries and sentries along the way, ordering the refugees to walk along the route they designated. Soon they reached the riverside, and all the rice was ordered by the enemy soldiers to be picked up on enemy transport ships. Only then did the refugees know I was fooled.

After boarding the boat, the poles and baskets were not allowed to be taken away at all, and those who were not strong were driven ashore, and those who were slightly stronger were detained on the boat and listened to by the enemy.

In addition, the Japanese army also entered and looted property everywhere in Wuhan, such as "Pacific Ocean", "Xuan Palace", "Yangtze River"... etc. The utensils and objects of big hotels were transported to enemy ships and taken away.

The doors and windows of ordinary residents were also demolished by the enemy and Japanese ronin.

The citizens of WH are even more miserable.

The most famous ones are three bricks and eight dollars.

At this time, the citizens of WH completely lost their freedom. If they did not have a "pass" bought by traitors or Japanese ronin, they would never even think about going out.

Even if you have a "pass" in your hand, you have to be careful when you walk. When you pass the enemy's guard post, you must take off your hat and bow before you are allowed to pass, otherwise you will have to taste the punishment of "three bricks".

The so-called "three bricks", kneel down with one brick on the knees, hold one brick in both hands and lift it up high, and put the other brick on the head.

In this situation, there is another kind of people who take the opportunity to collect money and use it as a living pass, and that is Belarus.

Anyone who had to go out without a "pass" had to ask a white Russian to lead the way, salute the Japanese sentry along the way, and then pass.

A few people living in the French Concession used this method to go from the French Concession to the Special Third District, and then back to the French Concession from the Special Third District.This was an organized way for the Japanese army to collect money. Belarus could only collect a small part of the guide fees earned by the Belarusian army, and most of them had to be dedicated to the Japanese army.

In addition to the "passport", there is also a "good citizen certificate".

The Japanese army's management of Wuhan was very strict.Only the resident population in Wuhan is likely to be issued a so-called "good citizen certificate". People who fled from other places and came to Han cannot obtain this certificate at all.

Residents who hold this "good citizen certificate" have to put the certificate on themselves every day for spot checks.

At that time, inspection checkpoints were set up on many main roads in Wuhan, and people without "good citizen certificates" could be arrested at any time.The Japanese army tied all the residents together in every 10 households, and promised each other not to violate the management of the Japanese army and not to participate in activities such as underground resistance organizations.

As long as any one of the 10 households has the above-mentioned behavior, the other 9 households may be implicated or even killed.

As for Meng Shaoyuan's era, the scenes of Chinese spies who came and went freely in Wuhan killing Japanese invaders and traitors in movies and TV shows were simply impossible.

There were clandestine resistance groups, but at best they could only do minor sabotage near Japanese garrisons.

And their greatest achievement is to pass on the information in Wuhan secretly.

Juntong once wanted to carry out a riot in Wuhan, but it was still in preparation. It was because of the "good citizen certificate" and "sit together law" that this operation was completely exposed. Four people from Juntong were killed and 14 were captured.

The "Certificate of Good Citizens" is a great "invention" of the Japanese. This small document helped the Japanese a lot before and during the war of resistance against Japan.

But from another point of view, just like the "police station" was brought by the Japanese, the "good citizen certificate" can be regarded as the embryonic form of China's modern household registration system.

Those responsible for the management of Wuhan are divided into three departments.

One is the "Gendarmerie Hankou Headquarters" stationed in the Hankou Libing Factory Building.Captain Miza Tokisari.

One is the "Wuhan Public Security Association" whose chairman is Ji Guozhen, the leader of the Anqing Gang.

The various organs of the maintenance committee are controlled by the "entrustment" sent by the Japanese army, and the "general entrustment" is the Japanese Asami Toshihiko.

The third is the Wuhan Special Municipal Government, which is under preparation.

The mayor designated by this puppet regime in Japan is Zhang Renli.

Few people may know Zhang Renli, but when it comes to his father, he is famous:

Zhang Zhidong, a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty!
Zhang Renli is the No.13 son of Zhang Zhidong!

The person in charge of intelligence work in Wuhan was Norio Hoga, the head of the Japanese spy agency in Wuhan who worked closely with the gendarmerie.

All agencies are unified under the leadership of the Supreme Commander of the Central China Expeditionary Force of Japan.

After the fall of Wuhan, Mount Luojia became the headquarters of the Central China Dispatched Army of the Japanese invaders. In order to comfort the homesickness of the Japanese army, cherry blossoms were introduced from Japan and planted in front of the old house of Wuhan University.

Unexpectedly, decades later, the cherry blossoms at Wuhan University would become a scene.

When Meng Shaoyuan entered Wuhan, with the support of Jiro Wakisaka, it was naturally unimpeded.

He was also generous, giving a sum of money to the five Japanese soldiers who were responsible for protecting him along the way, and the Japanese soldiers thanked him repeatedly when he got them.

But Meng Shaoyuan had just begun. He took Sophia, Alison and five Japanese soldiers straight to the Hankou Military Police.As soon as he arrived at the door, he asked the leader Cao to report that he was from the Xianning defense area, and asked to see Meizuo Shicheng.

I heard that it was from Wakisaka Jiro, who was also an international reporter, and Miza Tokima, who was responsible for ensuring the smooth holding of the Wuhan Goodwill Conference, did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent someone to bring them in.

"Then, let's go here." Meng Shaoyuan immediately said to the five Japanese soldiers, "I have worked hard along the way."

"That's what we should do. See you in the future when we have a chance." Leader Cao bowed deeply to Meng Shaoyuan.

This is what Meng Shaoyuan wanted.

Miza Shisung will know soon.

The person who came was very close to Jiro Wakisaka.

Not only did he send someone to personally escort him, but the escort also respected "Takuya Kimura".

The headquarters of the Hankou Gendarmerie is divided into four departments.

The general affairs department is responsible for finance, supplies, and personnel; the police department is responsible for police affairs and transportation; the judicial department is responsible for the management of Japanese military discipline; and it is responsible for military, political, and economic intelligence.

Meng Shaoyuan asked Sophia and Alison to wait outside, and went to see Meizuo Shicheng alone.

"Your Excellency." As soon as he entered, Meng Shaoyuan immediately said, "It is my honor to meet you here."

"Kimura-kun, thank you for your hard work." Miza Shicheng nodded: "I think you know the importance of this Wuhan Goodwill Conference. Those international reporters must make full use of it."

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Meng Shaoyuan continued, "I have two requests when I see you this time. The first is to arrange a place for the two reporters."

Meizuo Shicheng picked up the phone and quickly settled the matter.

"They've made arrangements, so I can talk about the second thing." Meng Shaoyuan said with a serious expression, "I beg you to let Fang He Zejiang, the director of the agency, come here immediately."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Meiza Shicheng asked when he heard that another agency chief in charge of intelligence work in Wuhan was going to come.

"Your Excellency, I don't have to hide anything." Meng Shaoyuan said very seriously: "In fact, my name is neither Kimura Takuya nor Andy Lau. My real name is Shimamoto Narumi, and my code name is 'Scorching Sun'. Nagaoka Saho directly led and was ordered to carry out a deep ambush in Nanjing. After the empire occupied Nanjing, I then went to Changsha to continue ambush!"

This is the second time he used the identity of Shimamoto Narumi, the previous time was when he first met Habara Koichi!
This is a very interesting thing.

"Scorching Sun" Shimamoto Narumi is real, he was ordered to lurk deeply and act freely, Miza Tokisari will definitely verify his identity, and the result is true.

But apart from Ooka Saho himself, no one really knows who Shimamoto Narumi is!

Sure enough, upon hearing these words, Mizuo Shicheng immediately paid attention, and he picked up the phone on the desk again: "I am Mizuo, please ask Master Fanga to come to me immediately."

Meng Shaoyuan knew that his new performance was about to start!
