Although it seemed calm on the surface, the deaths of Kazuo Kaibei and Gomon Yoshikawa still plunged Japan's Shanghai secret service into huge trouble.
Especially the death of Yoshikawa Gomon caused an uproar.
His brother, Sadao Yoshikawa, the head of the secret service agencies of the five provinces of North China, sent a telegram as soon as he received the news of the death of his beloved brother.
There was only one word on the telegram:
sorrow.
It is sorrow for the death of his brother, and also sorrow for the working ability of Shanghai's secret service.
Even, it is sad about the prospect of cooperation between the North and South spies.
No one can argue with that.
This is a disgrace to the Japanese spy community!
Two big living people were killed right in front of their eyes.
From the first day Meng Shaoyuan arrived in Shanghai, he was making waves in the city.
He seemed to have truly become the master of the city.
Although, the Japanese had already occupied the city.
The defeat of the Japanese means the victory of the Chinese.
It stands to reason that a successful assassination of an important enemy figure should be as low-key as possible to avoid angering the enemy and triggering bloody revenge.
But this time it's different.
It was the Japanese who initially leaked the news. Mr. Gomon Yoshikawa, an important figure from North China, was assassinated by Meng Shaoyuan.
Where is the source of the leak?
No way of knowing.
The Japanese rarely reveal their shortcomings.
Then, the military commanded the Shanghai latent area and announced a major victory in the war against the enemy:
Under the leadership of Meng Shaoyuan, director of the Shanghai Special Office, he successfully assassinated Yoshikawa Gomon, the director of the Operations and Surveillance Section of the five Japanese provinces in North China!
This is a huge win!
To this end, Dai Li also sent a special commendation message.
In the telegram, Meng Shaoyuan and his colleagues in Shanghai were praised, and he hoped that they would continue to work hard and continue to win in new struggles!
Not only on the intelligence front, but also on the frontal battlefield, the Chinese army also achieved an exciting victory:
Great victory in Taierzhuang!
This war that took place from early March to April 8 is called the "Battle of Taierzhuang" in Chinese war history, and the "Annihilation Operation in Southern Shandong Province" in Japanese war history.
Regarding the number of Japanese casualties in this battle, China and Japan have different opinions.
The results announced by China were 11,984 Japanese casualties, 719 prisoners, and the seizure of 31 cannons...
As for the Japanese statistics on the number of casualties, based on information from all parties, the Japanese army itself admitted that the number was 5,400.
War is like this. One side needs to try its best to exaggerate the numbers, and the other side needs to try its best to reduce the number of casualties in propaganda.
The purpose is to serve the war.
But even according to the Japanese side, the Japanese army suffered a disastrous defeat after the war between China and Japan.
Don't underestimate these 5,400 people. The Japanese army suffered such huge losses despite being equipped with a large number of artillery. This is quite rare in the Japanese army's operations in North China.
See you from this, the Battle of Taierzhuang was a real victory achieved by the Chinese army!
This great victory not only inspired the determination of the military and civilians across the country to fight to the end, but its important impact on future battlefields is also immeasurable!
The outcome of the Battle of Taierzhuang was a defeat in the Japanese offensive.
This is the first time since the Japanese invasion of China.
For the Japanese army, this was not only a loss in strength, but more importantly, a spiritual defeat.
The myth that "the Imperial Japanese Army is invincible" was shattered.
The Anti-Japanese War, starting from Taierzhuang, has quietly taken a turn!
At this time, Meng Shaoyuan was not present.
A new plan is being planned.
This was a plan he had been planning for a long time.
Liao Yuting!
The existence of this person has always been a huge threat to Meng Shaoyuan.
It even made Meng Shaoyuan feel that he shouldn't live in this world at all.
Peng Bilan was sitting in front of him.
She no longer has to be locked up in a dungeon.
At this time, Peng Bilan was still charming and heartwarming.
Just a little more tranquility.
She just sat there quietly, not saying a word.
But there was attachment flashing in her eyes.
Deep attachment to Meng Shaoyuan.
Sometimes Meng Shaoyuan's slight movement of his body would make her feel very nervous.
It seemed as if he was about to lose this man.
Meng Shaoyuan was very satisfied with the result.
As an expert in psychology, he had carefully studied "Stockholm Syndrome" but had never had the opportunity to test it.
He never expected that in this era, he would have such an opportunity.
"I told you before that I was going to let you go."
Meng Shaoyuan just said these words, and Peng Bilan immediately became nervous and scared: "No, I won't leave, I won't go anywhere, I will stay here, just by your side."
This is also a drawback of "Stockholm Syndrome":
If you are too dependent, you may even experience symptoms of anxiety if you are not seen for a few minutes.
Meng Shaoyuan held her hand.
Sure enough, all Peng Bilan's anxiety disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"listen."
Meng Shaoyuan's voice was deliberately lowered: "I need help, and you are the only person in the world who can help me now."
"You...what do you need me to help you with?"
Peng Bilan asked carefully.
"Liao Yuting!"
"Liao Yuting?"
Peng Bilan seemed to be very unfamiliar with this name: "Why did you mention this person's name?"
Liao Yuting no longer exists in her heart.
At first, after Liao Yuting met Peng Bilan, it took a long time for Peng Bilan to be devoted to him and even willing to die for him.
However, it only took Meng Shaoyuan a short time to make all Liao Yuting's efforts come to nothing!
"He wanted to kill me." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly.
"He is a bastard, no one can kill you, no one." Peng Bilan said dreamily: "Can you give me a gun? I will help you kill him."
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"For you, I'm not afraid of anything."
"Listen, you don't have to use a gun to kill someone." Meng Shaoyuan still held Peng Bilan's hand tightly: "As long as you follow what I said, return to him and continue to be his subordinate, then everything will be over soon. finished."
"You...you didn't lie to me? I, can I really come back?"
"I promise." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Don't forget, you are my woman!"
You are my woman!
Just this sentence made Peng Bilan stop caring about everything in an instant.
You are my woman!
I am Meng Shaoyuan’s woman!
"You say, I will do it!" Peng Bilan said firmly: "For you, I will do anything you ask me to do!"
"You have to listen carefully."
Meng Shaoyuan told his plan in detail.
Peng Bilan listened very carefully, for fear of missing a word.
This is the task Meng Shaoyuan assigned to himself.
It must be completed without compromise.
"It won't take long to succeed." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "I will pick you back soon!"
