"The so-called Seven Tigers of Military Reunion refers to the folklore of China."
At a regular meeting of the Japanese Army's spy agency in Shanghai, Kawamoto Kojiro introduced the newly joined members of the spy organization:
"However, this is also the capital from which Meng Shaoyuan started, and the early core of his organization. These seven tigers refer to the pantian tiger Meng Shaoyuan, the smiling tiger Yuan Zhonghe, the Tuotian tiger Yue Zhenchuan, the descending tiger Wei Yunzhe, and the creeping tiger Xiang Shounong. The tigress Zhu Yanni, and the bald tiger Tian Qi who has surrendered to the Japanese Empire. These seven people are known as the Seven Tigers.
In addition to the seven tigers, there are six leopards. The Chinese people have rich imaginations and always like to mythologise these characters. Add some special nicknames. Among the seven tigers, Xiang Shounong died in the Battle of Shanghai, Tian Qi broke away from the seven tigers, and Zhu Yanni retreated. This time, we successfully killed Yue Zhenchuan in Changshu. In other words, Meng Shaoyuan lost 40% of 70%.
Although Meng Shaoyuan had the upper hand many times in his battles with us, his own strength was also severely damaged. This provides us with another idea. Can we start by cutting off his party members, slowly isolate him, and finally turn this so-called pantian tiger into a sick and dead tiger without claws and teeth? "
Hahara Koichi said nothing.
This was what he and Kawamoto Kojiro agreed upon.
In fact, we can know from Chinese folk stories that the talent pool of the Meng Shaoyuan Group is very rich.
After the seven tigers, there are six leopards.
There is also a steady stream of talent coming in.
The killing of Yue Zhenchuan this time was an unexpected surprise.
Needless to say, military victory is more important if it creates an advantage in public opinion and boosts one's own morale, and it is more important to use this incident to undermine the enemy's confidence.
All participants in this meeting are Japanese.
Also "Nagashima Thirteen Guns", there are also newly added Kurimoto Nagazo, Masaki Naomi, Shiratori Kazuhiro and others.
These people will be the greatest force to compete with Meng Shaoyuan in the future!
The public enemy of Japan and the most powerful agent on the surface. This is what they heard as soon as they arrived in Shanghai.
Although they say they don't care, in fact they are still under a lot of psychological pressure.
How to eliminate this pressure has become what Hahara Koichi has to consider.
An excellent agent must not only have excellent work ability, but more importantly, must have strong psychological quality.
The death of Yue Zhenchuan undoubtedly provided the Japanese with convenience in this regard.
This was also personally approved by Kage Sasaki and handed over to Koichi Hahara and Kojiro Kawamoto.
After Kojiro Kawamoto finished the introduction, he turned his attention to Koichi Hahara.
Hahara Guangyi stood up and said: "Everyone, to be fair, in the past, in the competition with the military commander, we were at a disadvantage. The reason for repeated failures was not only Meng Shaoyuan's super personal ability, but also his large and well-trained team. .
But this victory in Changshu has opened up a new way of thinking for us. In Shanghai, could Meng Shaoyuan personally direct? It is difficult for us to find flaws in him, although it sounds frustrating.
However, on his periphery, please pay attention to the composition of Meng Shaoyuan's forces, with Shanghai as the center and a large number of military hidden agents and the Loyalty and National Salvation Army as auxiliary wings.
In Su, Xi, and Chang, Yue Zhenchuan, Wei Yunzhe, and Wang Jingzhong were known as the Iron Triangle, causing the empire's henchmen to worry. But with the addition of the Peace Army, the situation changed instantly.
His subordinates' abilities are uneven, and they will make mistakes, and huge mistakes. How can a peaceful army create such brilliant results? This is something we have never thought of before. "
Our past thinking was to use China to control China, but after saying this for a long time, our mentality was actually to use the Chinese people while guarding against the Chinese people, which resulted in constraint in our actions.
I asked Your Majesty Ying Zuo for instructions, and with your consent and reporting to superiors, the First Regiment of the Peace Army will become a 'model regiment' and a model for all friendly armies in China! "
Model group!
Simply put, the First Regiment of the Peace Army will be publicly recognized by the Japanese as the "No. 1 Regiment in the World" among all puppet armies!
Without paying any financial rewards, giving them a false name and wearing a big hat can make the first regiment and other puppet troops work more wholeheartedly for the Japanese.
This idea of Hahara Koichi can be regarded as painstaking.
"Around Shanghai, we will continue to focus on the Peace Army and local security forces, and there will be fewer layers of local resistance organizations." Koichi Hahara continued:
"In Shanghai, our recent focus is to ensure the smooth establishment of Wang Jingwei's government. The military will not sit idly by and watch. Although they are unable to change this fact, they will definitely wreak havoc!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of a question.
Yue Zhenchuan is dead. He was Meng Shaoyuan's sworn brother. Will he just swallow his anger and watch helplessly?
Could he no longer be in Shanghai and take the risk of going to Changshu?
possible.
This is his character.
"Kawamoto-kun, are there any current actions by the military commander?"
"Yes, starting from the day before yesterday, the armed action teams of the military command have successively attacked our contact points, but they often just shoot and run away. It is unclear what they are going to do."
Kawamoto Kojiro's answer made Hahara Koichi feel relieved a lot.
Yes, this is Meng Shaoyuan's style.
Before he carries out a big operation, he always plunges Shanghai into chaos, and then calmly implements his real plan.
In the past, I have suffered this loss many times.
"We must understand the true purpose of military reunification."
Koichi Hahara frowned and said, "I guess Meng Shaoyuan's real purpose is to deal with Wang Jingwei."
This is also the focus of his work during this period.
Since there is such chaos, Meng Shaoyuan must still be in Shanghai.
It is difficult to change a person's consistent style of doing things.
…
"A little more chaos."
Gracie looked at the map of the concession: "Here, here, and here, throw in a few more armed forces to form a siege on Wuxin Warehouse, the joint office location of Rite and No. 76.
Once the Japanese received reinforcements, they immediately evacuated to Fourth Avenue. At the same time, they organized their forces to conduct a short assault on Huide Trading Company and Shantong Factory, and dropped more bombs. "
"What's the ultimate goal?" Wu Jingyi didn't particularly understand.
"There's no end goal."
Gracie said calmly: "It's just one word, chaos!"
…
"While I am away in Shanghai, the military command will be under the unified command of you and Wu Jingyi!"
Before leaving Shanghai, Meng Shaoyuan specially summoned Gracie: "You have only one mission, to create an illusion for the Japanese. I am still in Shanghai and have not left!"
"Okay, Master."
Gracie said without thinking.
She had studied the master's style carefully. He particularly liked fighting. In the chaos, he suddenly revealed his ferocious minions, revealing his true purpose.
And now, what she is executing is her master's order!
