In Yueyang City, Japanese troops, puppet troops, and detective teams with loaded guns can be seen everywhere.
The Chinese people here live completely under high pressure.
The Japanese army was so heavily guarded for their own reasons.
Yueyang is not only an important town in northern Hunan and the forefront of the Changsha battle, but it is also an important gathering place for supplies for the Japanese army.
Most of the supplies for the frontline combat troops are stored here.
The highest military commander and military police commander of the Japanese army in Yueyang was a major general, which shows the importance of Yueyang in the minds of the Japanese army.
The air here has a suffocating feeling.
You have no idea whether you will be killed by the Japanese because of an inexplicable thing the next second while you are walking on the streets of Yueyang.
In Yueyang, the atmosphere of war is already very strong.
Everyone knew the war was about to begin.
Even the headquarters of the Japanese 11th Army has begun to move forward in large numbers.
In Yueyang City, various agencies affiliated with the 11th Army Headquarters can be found everywhere.
For example, the Intelligence Section and Counter-Intelligence Department have already been relocated to Yueyang.
There is a certain confusion here too.
It stands to reason that the highest military commander of the Japanese army in Yueyang was Major General Suzuki Nikihiro.
However, he was unable to manage the departments of the 11th Army Headquarters.
Even for the Japanese soldiers walking on the street, you belong to the Yueyang garrison, he belongs to the General Staff, and I belong to the Secret Service.
The Japanese themselves can't tell the difference.
What's more, the main force of the Japanese 11th Army gathered in Yueyang and Linxiang, and in Yueyang City, there were many numbers of Japanese troops.
The headquarters of the 14th Independent Artillery Regiment, which the Japanese army secretly dispatched to the front line, was established in Yueyang.
And part of the plain detachment of the 14th independent mixed brigade that had just arrived at the front line was temporarily stranded in Yueyang.
Therefore, Japanese troops were everywhere inside and outside the city.
Meng Shaoyuan, who had always been well-informed, felt dazzled.
Where the hell did so many Japanese come from?
Are you preparing for the New Year here?
Damn it, if only I had a huge bomb in my hand now, even if I die with these little Japan?
Forget it, forget it, there are still so many Chinese in Yueyang City.
It’s better to save those huge bombs for use in Japan.
Danger is everywhere and there is a possibility of exposure anytime and anywhere.
But in Meng Shaoyuan's opinion, this is the safest place.
The more complex it is, the more mixed up the place is, the more protective it can be.
In Yueyang City, there is another famous "character":
Dou Xiangwen!
The reason why this person is famous is entirely because on the day Yueyang fell, Dou Xiangwen was the first to warmly welcome the "imperial army" into the city.
Every time the Japanese army occupied a city, they needed a group of people like Dou Xiangwen.
Because of this, Dou Xiangwen quickly gained the trust of the Japanese.
"Dou Sang, a friend of the Imperial Army."
Almost every Japanese officer who knew Dou Xiangwen said so.
With the full support of the Japanese, Dou Xiangwen not only served as the president of the Puppet Maintenance Association, but also opened a "Dongting Pavilion".
The so-called Dongting Pavilion is actually a place for eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling.
The largest entertainment center in Yueyang City.
Dou Xiangwen earns a lot of money every year, and his share of filial piety to the Japanese is absolutely indispensable.
He was prosperous, but the Chinese hated him with gnashing of teeth.
But what can you do?
Not only does he have the support of the Japanese behind him, but he also has an armed force dedicated to protecting him.
This is also specially approved by the Japanese.
As soon as Meng Shaoyuan entered Yueyang City, the first place he went to was Dongting Pavilion.
It's almost evening.
The curfew in Yueyang City became useless with the advent of war.
As soon as we walked into Dongting Pavilion, it was even more lively inside.
Since the war is about to break out, the front lines are mobilized frequently and the tasks are heavy, so the Japanese can no longer be seen, almost all of them are Chinese.
Everyone's face turned red as they drank, shouting and drinking.
I was so excited after drinking that I took out a lot of money just to make the girl next to me smile.
"Hey, who are you?"
"Three." Meng Shaoyuan glanced at Xu Lexheng and Wu Long beside him: "Give me a private room."
"What a coincidence, there is only one private room left. Three distinguished guests, please take a private room!"
Meng Shaoyuan was taken to the private room.
Xu Lesheng did not go in, but stood at the door of the private room.
Meng Shaoyuan and Wu Long went in together.
Wu Long, the life assistant, seems to have an unusual status.
Xu Lesheng also felt this.
Along the way, Wu Long hardly spoke.
However, Chief Meng has always been very polite to this ordinary life assistant.
Don't know why.
As soon as he entered the private room, Meng Shaoyuan took out two yen and put them on the table: "Please ask President Dou to come."
"Oh, you are?"
"Please tell President Dou that I am the shopkeeper of Qingyuntang from Nanjing."
"Okay, wait a moment, do you want to call the two girls in first?"
"No need, your boss Dou will arrange it."
With that said, Meng Shaoyuan took out his cigarette and lit it.
Wu Long on the side also took out a cigarette and lit it for himself.
Neither of them spoke.
After a while, Dou Xiangwen, the owner of Dongting Pavilion, came over after receiving the news.
With an arrogant look on his face, he walked to the door of the private room, looked at Xu Lexheng standing there, and without saying anything, he opened the door and walked in:
"Who is from Nanjing?"
"I am."
"Hey, how is business at Qingyuntang?"
"It's okay, let's live a good life." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "On the day I left, we happened to take an order and made 3,333 yuan."
Dou Xiangwen said: "What a coincidence. The profit must be 666 yuan, right?"
"You guessed it right."
Dou Xiangwen smiled, closed the door, and sat down opposite Meng Shaoyuan: "Brother, the profits here are not as high as yours. Although my business is booming, I have a lot of expenses. This year, not many of them fall into my hands." .”
"Gold or ocean?"
"How do you calculate it?"
"Count it as gold!"
Dou Xiangwen was silent for a moment, and then whispered: "Hello, sir."
"Sorry, sir, sir, you have to work so hard to see a person." Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "Boss Dou, you are happy and happy in Yueyang and never take the initiative to contact your family. Before I came, I asked you, have you forgotten your family? There are brothers and sisters at home who are suffering there, but those we leave outside may not even remember this home."
Dou Xiangwen looked calm: "Sir, Dou Xiangwen is outside and does not dare to contact his family too much, because his enemies will know that he still has a family. But Dou Xiangwen has always been thinking about his family, and Dou Xiangwen's heart is red."
"Really? I hope it's as you said..."
"Don't you dare ask the officer's name?"
"Me? My surname is Zhou, Chow Yun-fat!"
