May 14, 1939, 8 a.m.
The Central Bank on Albert Road opened its doors as usual, with two security guards standing on each side of the door.
People began to walk into the bank one after another.
Boxes of silver coins have been prepared.
Bei Zuyi and Gu Xichen walked back and forth, looking uneasy.
Today is the day to transport silver coins.
The dignified head of the Shanghai District of the Military Command Bureau didn’t even show up?
It's too unserious, too unserious.
Once something goes wrong, who is responsible?
Xu Zhu was the first to enter the central bank.
He stood at the window and looked outside through the iron bars.
Opposite, two agents from No. 76 appeared on time as if they were on duty.
Every day is divided into two halves, four in the morning and four in the afternoon, monitoring every move of the central bank.
"Mr. Xu, when will we start taking action?"
Bei Zuyi couldn't bear it anymore.
"I'm waiting for the signal."
"What signal?"
"Mr. Bei, a signal is a signal, and it will definitely appear when it should appear!"
…
8 am.
"Are they all in ambush?"
"Yes, we're all set in ambush."
"Once the team arrives, aim at the tires and never hit the car body. We have no way of knowing whether the experts are on the car or not."
"yes!"
Hikari Hahara looked around.
Most of the elite soldiers and generals that Japan can mobilize in the public concession are already here.
Where is Miyomichi Hiroshi?
Why didn't he show up?
Hahara Koichi didn't think that much...
…
Time passes by minute by second...
…
10 am.
People appeared from several directions and began to gather on Albert Road.
More and more people.
The patrols obviously noticed something was wrong.
There were even many trucks carrying people showing up!
"Quickly, report to the Board of Directors!"
…
"What then?"
A special agent from No. 76 was surprised to find so many people suddenly appearing.
"It seems to be a parade. I heard that two coachmen and a certain president were arrested."
"Damn it, when did the stinky cart pullers also have a guild?"
"Hey, look, isn't that the bald old man?"
"Really? That, Ma Qingpi, do you see it? That's Ma Qingpi right there."
"Damn it, is that the old man's men are out? The French are having fun now. Hey, brothers, stay away, the old man's people are very ruthless!"
…
Thousands of people have gathered.
The foreigners on Albert Road were obviously frightened.
The nearby shops also quickly closed.
Several trucks carrying people stopped at the entrance of the Central Bank, and the people on the trucks immediately jumped out.
Then, banners were pulled up one after another:
"Give back my compatriots"!
"Protest against the brutal treatment of rickshaw pullers in the French Concession"!
The darkness covered the entire road!
…
"start to act!"
Xu Zhu's face suddenly became serious: "Group of four, each group has a box, and they will be transported to the truck in the shortest possible time. Anyone who attempts to do evil will be shot to death!"
…
The number is still increasing.
It is estimated that more than 2,000 people have arrived.
And there are still people coming here.
Albert Road, dark clouds are coming!
"about there."
Chang Chizhou, the commander-in-chief in charge of this operation, checked the time: "For those who haven't arrived yet, don't wait any longer, let's start!"
"Give back my compatriots!"
Someone yelled with a loudspeaker.
"Give back my compatriots!"
The earth-shattering cry sounded, deafening.
At 10:30 am on May 14, 1939, the Shanghai Albert Road Parade broke out!
According to the report from the French Concession patrol room afterwards, this was a premeditated and violent demonstration.
At least more than half of the people in the parade carried short sticks, iron bars and other weapons.
This is not a rickshaw driver!
no!
…
"Do it!"
Inspector Du threw away the cigarette butt.
Several patrolmen quickly rushed towards the marching crowd!
…
"He's beating someone, the patrol is beating him!"
"Fight them!"
The originally endless procession quickly became chaotic.
The parade turned into a riot!
…
In Meng Shaoyuan's spy career, he rarely used violence to complete a mission.
The "disguise" plan is an extremely rare example of his use of violence to solve problems!
To this end, Jinghu old man Zhang Renkui mobilized all the forces he could mobilize in the shortest possible time!
The Green Gang, on this day, showed their greatest strength!
…
"action!"
Xu Zhu gave an order loudly!
At 10:30 a.m. on May 14, 1939, the Central Bank began to withdraw its 10 million reserve silver dollars!
…
"action!"
Wu Jingyi gave the order coldly!
At 10:30 a.m. on May 14, 1939, thirty-nine returnees from Italy began to evacuate!
…
"action!"
Li Zhifeng checked the weapon.
At 10:30 a.m. on May 14, 1939, five captured Japanese financial experts began to evacuate!
…
Code name, disguise!
Three fronts move together!
The locations of the action are all concentrated in one place:
Albert Road!
The Central Bank, the Shanghai District Headquarters of the Military Unification Bureau, the secret detention location of the Military Unification Bureau Shanghai District, and the Henglong Company's Grand Warehouse!
Operation Commander:
Xu Zhu, Wu Jingyi, Li Zhifeng!
Meng Shaoyuan did not participate in the specific actions.
He didn't even show up.
Any problem with any of these three points is a serious matter.
But at such an important moment, Meng Shaoyuan disappeared!
…
Itomaru.
Xiaozhong stood at the pier, holding a cup in one hand.
This is the signal.
If any unexpected situation occurs, as long as the cup falls to the ground, the people on the ship will immediately detonate the Ito Maru.
…
It’s chaos, it’s all chaos!
A large number of patrols and French soldier reinforcements arrived on the scene.
Batons, gun butts, short sticks, and wooden clubs flew everywhere.
Blood splattered everywhere.
The special agents originally responsible for surveillance had long been dispersed.
Two agents were particularly unlucky. They were treated as paradegoers and received more than a dozen sticks!
Most of Albert Road has completely turned into a "battlefield"!
…
"Report, loading is complete!"
"Retreat immediately!"
The scene is getting out of control.
If Chang Chizhou had not arranged a large number of manpower in advance to forcibly isolate a buffer zone between the parade and the Central Bank, I am afraid that the Central Bank would have been affected!
But this buffer zone is becoming increasingly unsafe!
…
"Quick, here, here."
Several gang members with white cloth strips tied on their arms shouted hello.
Wu Jingyi, who was sitting in the car, smiled bitterly.
When did the military commanders actually need the protection of these Youth Gang members?
Two cars and two trucks covered with hoods roared past.
Remember what these Youth Gang members did for the anti-Japanese war.
From the beginning of the riots on Albert Road, they have always maintained this unimpeded life channel!
And just not far from this life passage is a roaring battlefield, a hell of flesh and blood!
This is May 14, 1939.
The military commander is on the move, the Youth Gang is on the move!
Code name, disguise!
