"If there is anything important, you can say it now, Shimamoto-kun."
A long time later, Meng Shaoyuan had another nickname, "Variety Master Meng". Even he couldn't remember how many identities he had used.
Even if he comes to Wuhan again this time, he has already used three names in one breath:
Kimura Takuya, Andy Lau, Shimamoto Narumi!
"Your Excellency, Colonel Meizuo, Your Excellency Colonel Fonghe!" Meng Shaoyuan looked as serious as possible: "You can check the authenticity of my identity. But now, I have obtained an important piece of information in Changsha, so I used this This opportunity gave me the opportunity to serve as an interpreter for the Americans and came to Wuhan to deliver this information."
"Why did you come to Wuhan to deliver information?" Fanghe Zejiang asked.
"First, because the Japan-China Goodwill Conference is being held in Wuhan, I have reason to be with the Americans." Meng Shaoyuan blurted out without even thinking: "In addition, because I am operating in a single line, single line operations mean the difficulty of transmitting intelligence. Wuhan is the place where I can send information out the fastest, and time is the most important thing for this information."
Fanghe Norijiang nodded: "You have considered it very carefully, so please tell us what kind of information this is."
Meng Shaoyuan took off his coat, asked for a knife, and carefully opened the clothes.
He took out one neatly folded piece of paper after another.
There are probably dozens of them.
Miza Tokinari and Hoga Norie's eyes lit up.
The more information there is, the more valuable it is.
"Fortunately, it is winter now, so I can hide so much information in my clothes." Meng Shaoyuan breathed a long sigh of relief: "Your Excellency, the two colonels, the Chinese army has deployed a defense map south of Xiushui, as well as all defense points and unit number, down to the company-level commander.”
Miza Tokinari and Hoga Norie almost cheered.
Everyone knows that if this intelligence is true, then there will be no secrets left in front of the Japanese army against China south of Xiushui!
"Shimamoto-kun." Norie Yoshiga looked at every piece of information carefully, not wanting to leave his eyes for a moment: "Did you ever get this information?"
"I have my intelligence source." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "But please forgive me for not being able to tell you."
Fanghe Zejiang understands very well.
Every deep-lurking agent has his own source of intelligence. They would never disclose the source of this information unless absolutely necessary.
"Miza-kun." Norie Hoga seemed to be holding a priceless treasure: "Please transfer this information to your Excellency the Commander immediately."
History, at this moment, quietly took another turn...
…
In March 1939, the Battle of Nanchang, which was part of the Battle of Changsha, kicked off.
In early March, Xue Yue received a top-secret telegram from Shanghai. The telegram stated that the Japanese army had been convinced of the military deployment south of Xiushui and would dispatch tank groups for attack operations.
Xue Yue immediately forwarded the telegram to the former enemy commander.
The telegram ended with only one signature:
Meng!
Meng Shaoyuan's Meng!
On March 20, the Japanese army launched a fierce attack.
At 19:30, the 106th Division began to forcibly cross Xiushui from Qiujin.
On the evening of the 20th, the Japanese 101st Division also began to cross the river from the north of Tujiabu.
What they attacked was the weak point in the defense south of the Xiushui position of the Chinese Communist Party.
The repaired water was about 30 meters wide. Due to continuous rain, the river water rose by about 3 meters. Although it made it more difficult for the Japanese troops to cross the river, many defenders' positions were flooded and most of the water obstacles were washed away.
Two Japanese divisions broke through the front lines of the defenders and carried out continuous assaults at night. By dawn on the 21st, they occupied a beachhead position 2 kilometers deep and covered their engineers in erecting pontoon bridges.
At about 8 o'clock, the Japanese tank group passed the pontoon bridge, attacked the Dongshan defenders from the front of the 106th Division, and then detoured toward Nanchang along the west side of Nanxun Road.
At 21:30 on March 22, the Japanese leading tank group moved out to Fengxin.
Everything was carried out smoothly according to the intelligence previously possessed by the Japanese army.
The Japanese army made extremely smooth progress.
So much so that the Japanese commander on the front line said:
"This time, our intelligence officers finally achieved meritorious service!"
But just as the tank group rushed into the Dulian River Bridge, the Nanchang Defense Battle and the Lian River Artillery Battle took place!
The 38 artillery pieces of the Chinese *** team lined up in a row and violently bombarded the Japanese tank group!
The sudden blow caused the unsuspecting Japanese tank group to suffer huge losses under the fierce artillery fire and had to retreat to its original position again.
In the next few days, the Japanese tank group was never able to restore its original combat effectiveness.
This bought enough time for the smooth progress of the Nanchang defense battle and the subsequent calm retreat of the Japanese army!
At the same time, this also laid a good foundation for victory in the upcoming battle to defend Changsha!
And everything that happened started when an intelligence agent sent a piece of true information to Wuhan.
And that telegram from Shanghai.
"This kid didn't disgrace his father!"
Xue Yue, who had not shown a smile since the beginning of the Nanchang Defense War, finally smiled after learning the news that the Japanese tank group had suffered heavy losses.
That cry of "Uncle Xue" was not in vain. The one month's salary that Xue Yue lost and the ten guards sent to him were also worth it!
…
"Shimamoto-kun, thank you for your hard work!"
Hoga Norie was satisfied. He knew very well that once this information was confirmed to be true, not only Shimamoto Narumi, but also himself and Miza Tokinari would make great contributions:
"The Japan-China Friendship Conference is about to begin. Shimamoto-kun, you have the cover of being a translator. Stay and see the glory of the Japanese Empire in Wuhan!"
"Of course." Meng Shaoyuan immediately responded: "I will never miss this opportunity. Ah, His Excellency Colonel Hoga, I still have some personal matters that I need your help with."
"I will do my best for Shimamoto-kun's personal matters."
Meng Shaoyuan finally showed his despicable face: "The American reporter who came with me, her name is Sophia. She is very beautiful. The Japanese Empire is invincible on the battlefield, and the men of the Yamato nation are also invincible!"
Hoga Nori and Miza were startled for a moment, and then they understood. Hoga Nori asked with a squinting look: "Shimamoto-kun is so romantic, how do you want me to cooperate with you?"
"First of all, the identity I told you, Sophia is my lover..."
Meng Shaoyuan was the most thick-skinned person in the history of the Republic of China, and when it came to his insidious, despicable and lustful nature, he was also one of the best.
Although he is Sophia's boss, as long as he shows his true nature as a wolf, Sophia will immediately take advantage of him. Meng Shaoyuan didn't know how many times he had been beaten by Sophia. The most recent time, his hand was almost broken.
Master Meng has long thought of this tone.
The problem is, he can't beat Sophia and is no match for this beautiful woman.
When he came to Wuhan, he had already considered everything. This time he not only wanted to connect with the "pigeon" and let the Japanese be fooled, but he also wanted to completely expose the bad breath Sophia brought to him in Wuhan.
This is called killing three eagles with one stone.
Of course, only Master Meng could think of such a shameless method.
Hehehe, you dare to hit me?
Let me show you what it means to be a manly man!
So much so that later, someone once commented like this:
"Meng Shaoyuan, when facing the Japanese aggressors, he is also an absolute master in intelligence work. There is no task that he cannot complete, but his personal ethics are beyond words..."
"Is there a woman he's afraid of?"
"Yes, why not? And there are three of them. One is Cai Xuefei, his eldest wife, who respects him. One is his former assistant Wu Jingyi, who has tens of thousands of handles on him. The other one is Sophia. . Hey, speaking of this Sophia, it’s so miserable. Meng Shaoyuan’s future will be really miserable.”
"What kind of cruel method?"
"A man can't beat a woman. It's true. Sophia knows French fighting skills, British boxing, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. She also learned some practical combat skills in China. You can think about it for yourself..."
…
Meng Shaoyuan and his party were arranged in a hotel near Jiqingli.
After the fall of Wuhan, the Japanese army set up a comfort station here.
Jiqingli is one of the comfort stations in Wuhan with better facilities and the largest concentration of comfort women.
Contrary to expectations, not just any Japanese can enter the comfort stations.
It has strict requirements on internal structure and service objects.
There are even restrictions on the Japanese military services that can be served.
In order to prevent Chinese from conducting espionage work and assassination, Chinese were never allowed to enter. Japanese naval officers and soldiers and Japanese overseas Chinese are also not welcome.
The Japanese army built a brick wall at the main entrance of Zhongshan Road in Jiqingli and set up a "gate post" with military police standing guard. All other passages were closed.
In addition to various commercial buildings, the private houses on both sides have become the house numbers of various prostitutes. There are branches opened by prostitutes in Fukushima and Matsubara in Japan, many of which bear the name of our own shop. Such as Osaka Seinan Tower (Osaka), Seirō Tower (Kobe), and Haneda Bessou (Hiroshima). In addition, there are 9 towers such as Kiyoshi Fuji Tower, Zhanjiexi Tower, Matsumoto Tower, Katsu Kaikyo Tower, and Matsuura Tower.
In addition, there are 11 buildings run by Koreans such as Samhao Building, Qingshan Building, Samseong Building, Taiping Building, Pinghe Building, Hanano House, and Wuhan Building. There are about 130 Japanese comfort women and about 150 North Korean comfort women, for a total of about 280.
The comfort station was managed by the Hankou Depot of the Japanese Army Central China Expeditionary Force, and its first commander was Colonel Ryu Ikeda.
There is also a special clinic of the Japanese Army in Hankou, which specializes in treating comfort women for X disease. The person in charge is Lieutenant Nagasawa Kenichi, a military doctor.
Therefore, the entire Jiqingli is heavily guarded and well-defended, making it almost impossible for Chinese resistance organizations to sneak in and carry out sabotage activities.
And today, a Chinese ace agent swaggered in.
"What do they do?" Sophia opened the curtains and looked at the women coming in and out outside, asking curiously.
"Selling yourself to serve those Japanese soldiers."
Meng Shaoyuan's answer made Sophia react quickly: "Poor woman. One more thing, why did you let the Japanese put us in the same room?"
Meng Shaoyuan replied extremely seriously: "Why? Because the Japanese don't believe you, and I need to ensure your safety, but please don't worry, I am a well-educated and good person, and I will strictly control myself here!"
