Those who are unfaithful and unfilial shall be killed! Those who commit adultery and plunder, kill them! Those who are timid and timid will be killed! Anyone who resists orders will be killed! Anyone who leaks secrets will be killed! Those who have liaison with foreigners shall be killed! Anyone who betrays his comrades shall be killed! "
No. 892, Albert Road, Shanghai.
The law of military unification and family resounded here again.
All squadron leaders, deputy team leaders, and team leaders have arrived.
Meng Shaoyuan's face looked extremely solemn: "Everyone, the war is about to begin. Our soldiers are about to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army. I am ordered!"
He paused deliberately there:
"Our army unites all Shanghai agents to participate in the war. Our mission is to collect intelligence at all costs, lurk personnel to work in Japanese-controlled areas, complete battlefield investigations, indicate targets for artillery units, identify the results of battles, and eradicate traitors! Pass on to Director Dai. !”
With a "swish" sound, everyone stood up straight.
"Family law is the top priority, all gentlemen, please work hard! Defend the country and protect the family, just die! Those who are afraid of war will be killed without mercy! Those who rebel will be killed without mercy! Those who run away will be killed without mercy!"
"Those who are afraid of war will be killed without mercy! Those who rebel will be killed without mercy! Those who break the family law will be killed without mercy!"
This was the answer from all the agents.
"Brothers." Meng Shaoyuan glanced at these brothers and sisters one by one: "In the past, we were called agents, but now we are called agents. In fact, the meaning of agents is the same, but the name is different, but We Chinese people don’t recognize the term spy, dog spy, how many times have we been scolded?
Well, the war has begun, and it's time for us agents to clear our names. I can also tell you that Director Dai is personally supervising the battle in Shanghai. Don't be afraid of fighting, and don't think about surrendering and running away. I can't protect you in the face of family law. When I kill you for breaking the family law, I promise that I will not be lenient.
I don't know how many of these brothers and sisters here will survive when the war is over. Those who die should be loyal to the country. Your family, your living brothers will take care of you. Everyone, everyone, please, I, Meng Shaoyuan, am here, thank you, thank you! "
Then, Meng Shaoyuan bowed deeply to them...
"Seventh, have everything been arranged?"
When the combat order was issued, Meng Shaoyuan left Tian Qi alone.
"The arrangements were made according to your order a month ago." Tian Qi quickly said: "We have people at Hujiang University, Baziqiao, Gongda Cotton Factory, etc., and we will try our best to provide instructions to the troops. Shelling, attacking targets.”
"Okay, I'll go to Hujiang University in person."
"Director Meng, isn't it too dangerous?" Tian Qiyi was startled: "Hujiang University is in the war zone. The Japanese army has already set up positions on the only way to pass. In the university, there are also Japanese spies who are frequently active there. If a war breaks out, the university will inevitably be affected. It became a command and supply base for the Japanese army."
"Dangerous? Once the war breaks out, besides the public concessions, are there any places in Shanghai that are not dangerous?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Mr. Dai held a meeting for us in Shanghai. We section chiefs, section chiefs, station chiefs, and district chiefs, Everyone must be prepared to die for their country. Mr. Dai is personally supervising the battle in Shanghai. Lao Qi, who do you think dares not to muster the spirit of 120,000 points?"
Tian Qi asked: "Let's prepare carefully. This battle shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Not difficult to fight?
Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly.
This kind of sentiment is not only among the people, but also among the military commanders and even the army. It is also filled with blind optimism.
At least on the surface, it really isn't that difficult to fight.
Elite German weapon divisions have entered Shanghai. Two heavy artillery regiments equipped with German artillery, as well as tanks and air force to assist in the battle, on paper have an absolute advantage.
"Old Seven, it is difficult to fight." Meng Shaoyuan sighed softly: "And with the massive reinforcements of the Japanese army, it will be a hard fight. We have a standard infantry division with 11,000 people, 3,800 rifles, and machine guns. Three hundred and twenty-eight, forty-six artillery pieces. But most divisions simply cannot meet this standard, especially those local miscellaneous troops.
A Japanese division has 22,000 men, 5,800 horses, 9,500 rifles, 600 machine guns, 108 artillery pieces, and 24 tanks. The comparison of strength is just there. Putting aside the command quality and individual combat quality, how can we fight with this strength?
Lao Qi, it will be a hard battle, extremely difficult. Give up the fantasy. Maybe, when the war is over, you and I will all be killed. "
Bah, what a bad luck.
Tian Qi murmured in his heart.
Meng Shaoyuan cheered up: "Okay, call Xiang Shounong in."
Xiang Shounong?
What's up?
After a while, Tian Qi came in with Xiang Shounong.
Meng Shaoyuan took off his clothes and was shirtless.
what are you doing?
Tian Qi and Xiang Shounong looked at each other. When did Master Meng become an exhibitionist?
Meng Shaoyuan frowned: "Hit me."
Misheard? Hallucinating?
But Meng Shaoyuan really hugged his head: "Hit me, don't hit me too hard, but don't hit me too lightly, just leave me with minor injuries."
Tian Qi was delighted.
Xiang Shounong is eager to try.
"Lao Qi, let me just say that Master Meng is a pervert." Xiang Shounong said in a low voice.
"This is the first time I've heard such a strange request." Tian Qi sneered: "Then do it."
Xiang Shounong smiled darkly and quietly took out an iron ring and put it on himself.
Within a moment, the miserable cry of Meng Shaoyuan, director of the Military Command Shanghai Supervision Office, came from Meng Shaoyuan’s office:
"Easy... Damn it, Lao Qi, don't kick me in the stomach... Xiang Shounong, you bastard, what are you trying to hit me with?"
People passing by the office door were all surprised as to what was going on inside.
Zhu Yanni also heard it and was anxious, worried that something might happen to Meng Shaoyuan. She was about to go in, but was stopped by Meng Shaoyuan's assistant Wu Jingyi: "Team leader Zhu, Director Meng has an order. No matter what happens inside, no one is allowed to go in."
"Don't slap me in the face, this is how you make a living."
Meng Shaoyuan's miserable screams came out again.
For a moment, the Marshal of the Flower Country who appeared at her birthday party popped up in Zhu Yanni's mind.
National hatred and family feud came to mind.
Zhu Yanni asked in a low voice: "Are you beating that guy?"
Wu Jingyi nodded silently.
"Then, let me go in too." Zhu Yanni begged: "Is there a chance to kiss Master Meng once?"
Wu Jingyi thought for a while and turned sideways silently.
When Zhu Yanni went in happily, Wu Jingyi whispered: "In my cabinet on the left, there is a pair of high heels."
"Thank you, Sister Jingyi."
One minute later.
Meng Shaoyuan screamed in an earth-shattering voice: "Zhu Yanni, you are avenging yourself...you are wearing high heels and kicking me...help me, stop hitting me!"
When Zhu Yanni, Tian Qi, and Xiang Shounong came out of Meng Shaoyuan's office, everyone had happy smiles on their faces.
Being able to do such a satisfying thing before the war is of great benefit to boost morale.
Joyful and happy.
There's something wrong with the young master's brain. Do you want others to hit you?
Who will care?
As for why Meng Shaoyuan did this, the person involved has been tight-lipped.
Different opinions have been circulating since then. The more reliable one is:
At that time, the military command major Meng Shaoyuan got a Shaolin secret book and was practicing to become indestructible. It is said that after completing the training, no Japanese bullets could penetrate his body...
"Where is Meng Shaoyuan?"
Tang Zong appeared in the office.
Wu Jingyi stood up in a hurry: "Director Meng has been out for half an hour. He said he would be away for a few days and didn't tell us where he was going."
"This boy."
Tang Zong shook his head helplessly.
The various groups commanded by Meng Shaoyuan were all dispersed into small teams. Each team was responsible for an area and acted alone. No one knew the other's mission.
This prevents one squad from being implicated in another squad after being destroyed.
Meng Shaoyuan only took care of a few team leaders and ignored the rest.
Originally, according to Dai Li's wishes, Meng Shaoyuan could just sit in the public concession and take command.
But everyone knows that this Young Master Meng has always been a master whom he can't help but dislike.
"I originally wanted to tell him the good news in person."
Tang Zong muttered: "Xiao Wu, when Meng Shaoyuan comes back, tell him that he has been promoted to lieutenant colonel."
He instigated an uprising by the Tongxian Security Team and cracked the Japanese secret code, making Meng Shaoyuan's promotion unimpeded.
Originally, Dai Li wanted to help him apply for another medal, but considering that he had just received the sixth-class Yunhui Medal and that the war was about to begin, the matter was temporarily postponed.
Otherwise, this young master Meng might show off to something else.
"Chief Tang, as soon as Director Meng comes back, I will tell him personally."
"Well." Tang Zong was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, when I came here, I heard that Meng Shaoyuan was beaten, or was he beaten at his own request? What happened?"
"Chief Tang, I'm not particularly sure. It seems that Director Meng is practicing some kind of kung fu, right?"
"This Meng Shaoyuan is incomprehensible and acting nonsense."
Hujiang University, Japanese army position.
The person in charge here is a squadron of the Japanese Marine Corps, squadron leader Captain Hirotaka Yamada.
At the same time, a 50-member Japanese expatriate volunteer team was assigned to the flank of the position.
The volunteer team was commanded by Hiroyuki Matsumoto, who had been injured while fighting for Japan and retired.
Captain Hirotaka Yamada and Hiroyuki Matsumoto have known each other for a long time.
He has always respected this retired imperial soldier very much, and now that they have the opportunity to fight side by side, it is a great honor for Yamada Hirotaka.
"Sir Matsumoto, you said the Chinese would attack..."
"Someone!"
Before Yamamoto Hirotaka could finish his words, a sergeant pointed in front and said: "A person."
"Bring it here and check if there are any weapons on you."
After a while, the sergeant led a soldier and brought the man who suddenly appeared in front of the position.
He was young, his body was covered with bruises, his face was still covered with bruises, and his pair of glasses were broken, so he hung them from his ears by one of the spectacle legs. He looked as embarrassed as he could.
"Who are you?" Yamamoto Hirotaka looked up and down. How could you be beaten like this?
This person's voice was weak, but he spoke pure Japanese:
"I am, Rukawa Kaede."
