"Tomorrow, Yoshikawa Gomon will visit Japan's Hongkou Naval Base."
When Meng Shaoyuan said this, Wu Jingyi did not ask him where he got the information: "The time is too tight. We cannot make a proper deployment in such a short time."
Assassination is not a matter of simply mobilizing manpower.
Route, time, how to evacuate safely...
All of these must be considered in all aspects.
Otherwise, the sacrifice will be in vain.
The information came too suddenly.
This is the information sent by Tian Qi at his own risk.
Tian Qi has always had a one-way contact with Meng Shao.
Unless absolutely necessary, he would not use Niu Xuewen as a contact point and risk being exposed by pretending that others would send the information out.
No, is Tian Qi sending a message to himself?
I sent the information, but once something happens to Yoshikawa Gomen, the Japanese will inevitably follow the line of "Lachlan Watch Company" to investigate?
Regardless of whether Niu Xuewen sold the store, ran away, or even died, the Japanese would be suspicious.
The real intelligence front was not like what was shown in movies and TV shows of that era. The Japanese suspected that they had fallen in love with a person, but in the end they had to foolishly confirm the person's suspicion.
He asked Niu Xuewen to spread the word about selling the store half a year ago.
And soon, someone will go to the store to inquire about the price, find a guarantor according to normal procedures, and transfer the store.
All formalities will be done flawlessly.
Then Niu Xuewen can leave Shanghai.
The excuse was to go to Chongqing to see business opportunities.
His son and family, who know nothing about what he did, will all stay in Shanghai.
They may be secretly arrested by the Japanese in an attempt to torture something out of them.
His family, of course, knew nothing.
In their eyes, Niu Xuewen is a responsible husband and diligent father.
It's a bit cruel, but Niu Xuewen has had this awareness since the first day he entered the organization.
But this is all based on the fact that Yoshikawa Gomen cannot be assassinated.
They will catch Tian Qi without hesitation and torture him about his relationship with "Lachlan Watch Company".
Even if Tian Qi survives the torture, he will completely lose the trust of the Japanese.
Tian Qi used this method to convey information, telling himself:
Don't act rashly!
Maybe he and Miao Chengfang are going through a particularly difficult time now, right?
Meng Shaoyuan roughly guessed why Tian Qi did this.
Well, on the contrary, Miao Chengfang did not pass on any information in this regard.
He should also know the information about Yoshikawa Gomon, but he did not take any action.
He is protecting himself!
Tian Qi arranged the lurking on his own, and he was one of his own in the true sense.
Therefore, even if it is dangerous, he must fulfill his duty to pass on the information.
His loyalty to himself was unquestionable.
Miao Chengfang was not one of his own.
Meng Shaoyuan is also a human being. As a human being, he will have feelings.
At this moment, even without Meng Shaoyuan noticing it, he had already unknowingly classified Tian Qi and Miao Chengfang in his mind!
"Do not move."
Meng Shaoyuan made up his mind.
"Do not move?"
"Don't move. The time is too short. We have no chance to make proper arrangements. Moreover, there are several roads to choose from from the Hongkou Naval Base to the public concession. We have no way to determine which road Jichuan Wumen will take."
Meng Shaoyuan pondered: "Placing manpower on every road will only disperse the power, and may even expose a large number of our secret contact points. Even if the assassination is successful, the gain will not be worth the loss."
In fact, he still had a real thought in his heart:
No matter what, Tian Qi cannot be exposed.
For this reason, he would rather give up this assassination opportunity.
"Yoshikawa Gomon will continue to stay in Shanghai for a while, and we have plenty of opportunities. Maybe the day he leaves Shanghai will be our best opportunity to assassinate him."
Meng Shaoyuan felt that this matter was really tricky.
According to this trend, every time I get information, I am in a hurry, making it impossible for me to dispatch my troops calmly.
It can also be seen that the Japanese arranged this deliberately.
Just don’t give yourself time to deploy.
The most important thing is, how can we avoid exposing our inside information?
Challenge?
"No matter how precise the layout is, there will definitely be flaws."
Meng Shaoyuan murmured: "Deploy a few more groups of people to closely monitor Chen Lu's family. Also, as for the bodyguard, try to contact him to see if you can get any information from him."
…
Meng Shaoyuan was still disappointed.
Liu Haishan, the Northeastern bodyguard beside Chen Lu, did not receive any information.
Meng Shaoyuan's people didn't even have a chance to see Liu Haishan.
But there's something strange:
Since Yoshikawa Wumen left Chen Lu's house, he has not come back.
It's been two days.
Is it possible to stay at the Hongkou Naval Base in Japan to discuss any secret operations?
"On March 31, the Chinese defenders completely surrounded the Segu detachment that entered the Taierzhuang area. At that time, the Sakamoto detachment turned from Linyi to Taierzhuang to rush for reinforcements, arrived in the Xiangcheng and Aiqu areas, and flanked the 20th Army. The Army was ordered to The 52nd Army and the newly arrived 75th Army besieged the Sakamoto Detachment. Fierce fighting lasted for several days, inflicting heavy losses on the Japanese army and causing their plan to rescue the Setani Detachment to fail."
Gan Ning pointed to the map of Taierzhuang on the wall and reported:
"On April 3, General Li Zongren issued a general attack order. The 52nd Army, 85th Army, and 75th Army of Tang Enbo's 20th Army launched a fierce offensive against the enemy near Taierzhuang. The Japanese army fought hard and occupied most of the streets. The country The army launched barricade warfare, counterattacked one after another, eliminated the enemy, and recaptured the streets occupied by the Japanese army. On April 6, Li Zongren rushed to the vicinity of Taierzhuang and personally commanded the troops to launch a full-line counterattack. Sun Lianzhong's troops also launched a counterattack at the same time..."
Meng Shaoyuan was a little absent-minded.
A great victory in Taierzhuang will definitely happen.
Others don't know the outcome of the battle, but I know it clearly.
This great victory will completely inspire the determination of the military and civilians across the country to fight to the end.
Moreover, the offensive posture that the Japanese army has maintained will also be curbed.
From now on, the Japanese army will fall into a huge dilemma.
The people he sent out were desperately developing guerrilla forces behind enemy lines.
Maybe it won't be long before he becomes a "general" with tens of thousands of troops.
Meng Shaoyuan didn't feel happy at all.
Is Yoshikawa Wumen still in Shanghai?
How can we kill this person?
Wu Jingyi opened the door and walked in. She saw Gan Ning making a military report and stood there silently.
"What's up?"
"The emergency came from Hongkou."
Upon hearing the news from Hongkou, Meng Shaoyuan quickly said: "Report."
"Yes, I just received reliable news that Yoshikawa Gomon was assassinated and killed!"
"What?"
Meng Shaoyuan was confused: "Jichuan Wumen is dead?"
"Yes, dead."
"Who killed him? Zhou Weilong or Cheng Yiming's people."
"neither."
"Who is that?"
Wu Jingyi hesitated for a while before saying:
"you!"
"who?"
"You, Yoshikawa Wumen, were assassinated by your Meng Shaoyuan!"
