The bloody battle at Shanghai Bank has reached an intensified stage.
The competition between the two sides on the financial front has already given people the smell of a fight to the death.
On February 6, the Shanghai Central Bank's Yalpe Road branch was bombed, killing seven people and injuring 20 others.
On the same day, the Bai Ke Road branch was bombed, killing three people and injuring 26 others, six of whom were seriously injured.
Two branches were bombed, forcing the Central Bank to suspend operations.
These two places were bombed, making it impossible for Meng Shaoyuan to come to Taiwan.
He arranged for someone to protect him, but he was still hard to guard against.
Especially Albert Road.
The Shanghai District Headquarters of the Military Unification Bureau is on Albert Road.
Although the branch of the Central Bank is far away from the Shanghai headquarters, Meng Shaoyuan still became furious:
"When I go to work tomorrow, will I see that my office has also been bombed?"
No one dares to interface.
It was indeed careless.
The Shanghai district headquarters on Albert Road was a restricted area for the Japanese and puppets.
The place is heavily guarded, with open and hidden sentries everywhere.
There are many light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, and even an Italian mortar.
The Japanese and puppets would not dare to attack here under any circumstances.
But there happened to be an explosion on the Albert Road.
"The protection inside is tight, but it's a mess outside." Meng Shaoyuan looked gloomy that day: "If you are careless, you will kill people."
Casually, he ordered with a cold face:
"It's time to take action."
Wu Jingyi listened and then asked: "Where have you been these days?"
"Me? Didn't I go anywhere?"
"You've been missing for a few days and you actually said you didn't go anywhere?"
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly smiled.
…
"Big Sky Wing" took off his glasses and tore off his mustache.
Then, what appeared in the mirror was no longer "Da Kongyi".
His name is Meng Shaoyuan!
Li Zhifeng muttered there: "Why do you spend so much effort? Can't it be solved with one shot?"
"Solved with one shot?"
Meng Shaoyuan took off his watch and carefully handed it to Li Zhifeng: "Don't use force, be careful. What Daniel sent is really a treasure.
Kill Yuta Sakaki? I kill him like a dog. But what's the use of killing him? Japan can send another inspector general at any time, which will not fundamentally solve the problem.
Killing Yuta Sakaki will only give Japan an excuse to madly attack our military commander. The only so-called 'neutrality' left by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce will be gone. From now on, our military commander's life in the concession will become very difficult. . "
Li Zhifeng listened very carefully. He could always learn something when he was with his superior.
"I want to fundamentally solve this problem." Meng Shaoyuan lit a cigarette: "This time, I want to make the Japanese completely defeated.
I have to thank Okaman Yosuke for providing me with all the information about Sakazuki Yuta. His living habits and preferences allow me to fully understand this person.
It stands to reason that given Yuta Sakaki's work style, he is a very decisive and strong person, but he likes to read Liu Yong's poems? This reveals the true side of him, that he is lonely. "
"What? He is lonely?" Li Zhifeng was startled when he heard this.
"Not only lonely, but also a little sentimental." Meng Shaoyuan smiled sarcastically: "Japanese people like a lot of Chinese culture, a lot of Tang poetry, but a lot less like Song poetry. Tang Wenhua has a deeper influence on the Japanese.
Most of the lyrics written by Liu Yong are about romance, romance, love and affection. A Japanese inspector general, known for his tough attitude towards China, actually likes Liu Yong's words?
Sakazaki Yuta has very few friends, so few that he can probably count them on one hand. He is very wary of people, but if it is someone who does not know his identity, has nothing to do with him, but has common interests, Where are people? "
Li Zhifeng seemed to understand somewhat.
Is this why the commander transformed into "Osora Tsubasa" and made friends with Yuta Sakaki?
But after doing all this, what is the next step, sir?
Li Zhifeng couldn't figure it out.
"Don't be anxious, there will be a good show to watch."
Meng Shaoyuan smiled.
A play must be performed bit by bit.
The climax will arrive soon.
…
Mrs. Bankaki deposited 30,000 yen into the Jing'an Temple Branch of Japan Bank.
Jing'an Temple is the busiest place in Shanghai, with several banks here.
Chinese, Japanese
In view of the beginning of the bloody battle in the bank, the security here is very tight.
Everyone who enters the bank is closely monitored.
As soon as some guests put their hands into their bags, there were immediately guards standing next to them, holding gun handles and staring closely at them.
Who knows if what was taken out of the bag was money or a bomb?
Banks have their own special characteristics and there is no way to carefully check the guests coming in and out.
Otherwise, who would come to visit you?
Therefore, we can only keep an eye on each guest quietly.
When Mrs. Banki came in, the security guard greeted her with a smile.
She is a frequent visitor here, and he is also the wife of Inspector General Banki.
Do you still expect such a person to do anything detrimental to the Empire of Japan?
The deposit business handled by Mrs. Banki went smoothly.
When he left, the manager personally sent her to the gate.
At this time, there was some commotion behind.
The manager thought something was wrong.
When I went in, I saw that a guest was feeling unwell and vomiting.
The guest apologized profusely.
Although the manager was unhappy, it was hard to say anything to such a guest.
The guest felt much more comfortable after resting for a while, and then left with an apology.
"Hurry up and clean up, that's unreasonable." The manager said with a stern face.
The person in charge of the bank's sanitation and chores is a Chinese, and everyone calls him Lao Hou.
Whether it is the Japanese consulate, bank, or other departments, the people responsible for general hygiene are Chinese.
Who among the Japanese will do this?
Lao Hou came in with a guarantor and has been here since the first day the Jing'an Temple Branch of Zhengjin Bank opened.
He is very honest and conscientious in his work, and has won the trust of the Japanese people.
Lao Hou swept the floor without saying a word.
His hands and feet are very nimble and he doesn't need anyone to worry about him at all.
There were seven or eight customers handling business, all of them Japanese.
Good Chinese people, who would come here?
The manager was busy smiling.
The guard looked at everyone nervously.
Lao Hou turned his back to everyone and dragged the ground hard.
Then, he took out a leather bag from the glove box and quickly put it under the stool.
After cleaning, he didn't say anything and silently pushed the glove box and left.
…
"boom"!
An earth-shattering explosion shook the whole of Shanghai!
At 9:30 a.m. on February 6, 1941, a shocking explosion occurred at the Jing'an Temple Branch of the Japan Bank.
This explosion was extremely violent!
It resulted in tragic casualties of eleven dead and fifteen wounded.
Seven of them were seriously injured.
The manager, security guard and others died on the spot.
Ordinary explosives would never cause such severe casualties.
Unless, there is an explosive called "RDX"!
