September 16, 1941, the tenth anniversary of the September 18th Incident!
At that time, the Second Battle of Changsha was in full swing.
Massive parades broke out in Chongqing and other places to commemorate September 18th and support the Changsha Anti-Japanese War!
On the same day, a report came out:
A Japanese reporter in China.
This report uses a large number of detailed words to record the brutality of the Japanese army and the suffering of the Chinese in the occupied areas in the eyes of a Japanese reporter.
The so-called Japanese army treated the Chinese people well and was welcomed by the vast majority of the Chinese people. All of this is a lie!
In the occupied areas, the Japanese army killed people, set fires, raped people, and committed all kinds of evil.
Not only the report, the Shanghai newspaper distributed several photos.
One of the photos shows a Japanese soldier stabbing an infant baby to death with a bayonet with a grin on his face.
As soon as this report came out, it caused a sensation all over the country!
Foreign journalists reprinted it one after another.
Lies are always lies!
The person who wrote this report is named Yuma Nakahama.
Even in Japan, he is still a well-known reporter!
And now...
As soon as this article came out, Chongqing, Yan'an and other places published reports one after another, exposing Japan's crimes in China and the ugly face of the Japanese communists.
Therefore, no matter what price we pay, it is completely worth it to rescue Yuma Nakahama!
The Japanese government has fallen into an extremely embarrassing situation in terms of public opinion.
However, these are not what Meng Shaoyuan has to consider when he returns to Shanghai.
The headache is not the big event that is going to happen in more than two months.
Rather, Xue Yue's "forced debt"!
Xue Yue was deceived by Meng Shaoyuan and took away an entire reinforced platoon. How could he just let it go?
He himself is directing operations in Changsha and will definitely not be able to come.
But he has a liaison officer in Shanghai!
Lieutenant Colonel Yuan Jian!
Since Yuan Jian came to Shanghai, he has been conscientious and has been doing his job well.
This is also an important bridge between Meng Shaoyuan and Xue Yue.
Meng Shaoyuan hasn't returned to Shanghai yet. As soon as the Shanghai District of the Military Command Bureau goes to work, Yuan Jian will report on time.
Why?
"Debt!" Yuan Jian said with a straight face.
"What kind of debt do you want?" Wu Jingyi was confused.
"Chief Xue's death order, District Chief Wu, do you want to listen to Chief Xue's telegram?"
"What?"
"Meng Shaoyuan, this street boy, send me all my forty-five men. If there is one missing, I will send him to the front line as a death squad leader!"
"I'm very busy, you can do whatever you want!"
This is Wu Jingyi’s answer.
Has Master Meng not done enough rogue things like this?
Are you asking Master Meng for the things he deceived? Are you okay?
Military orders are like mountains!
Yuan Jian is a soldier. Since his superior has given an order, he must execute it absolutely faithfully!
Therefore, when Meng Shaoyuan happily returned to Shanghai with a large group of people, the first thing he saw when he entered the office was Yuan Jian.
"Where are the people?"
Without any polite greetings, Yuan Jian opened his mouth and said.
"Who is it?"
"The person you deceived from Chief Xue!"
"Old Yuan, are you okay?" Meng Shaoyuan heard that this was what happened and said nonchalantly: "You are asking all over Shanghai, but I, Meng Shaoyuan, can you take back the things I got?"
Still carrying something like this?
Yuan Jian sneered: "How dare you lie to Chief Xue's people?"
Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "Have you, Commander Xue, been deceived enough by me?"
Yuan Jian sneered: "Commander Xue ordered, if you don't return the person, you will go to the front line and become a death squad."
Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "Young Master, I am the military commander, Xue Yue can't control me!"
Yuan Jianlen... couldn't laugh anymore.
On the beach, who doesn’t know Meng Shaoyuan’s shamelessness?
"I said, Lao Yuan, you are a salary earner, why are you worrying about this?" Meng Shaoyuan said seriously: "So in the battle of Changsha, these forty-five people are missing? If there are forty-five people, we will be able to do it immediately. Victory, I will send them back now!
Besides, Xue Yue asked me to pick these people. Why can he not keep his word since he is the commander? There is no way for me to return the favor! "
Yuan Jian is an honest man, how can you say anything better than him?
But he recognized a fatal truth. He must do what his superiors told him.
It's definitely impossible to say.
Since you can't talk it through, use actions to collect the debt.
Anyway, from then on, Yuan Jian went to Meng Shaoyuan's office every day, sometimes staying there for half a day.
He didn't bother Meng Shaoyuan when he was doing business, but Meng Shaoyuan was free, and Yuan Jian opened his mouth and said:
"Give them back!"
Meng Shaoyuan was so upset by him.
Isn’t this like meeting a fool?
Yuan Jian also couldn't understand. The longer this delay was, the more detrimental it would be to him.
What kind of person is Master Meng?
The forty-five people headed by Yi Mingyan were treated as distinguished guests by Meng Shaoyuan from the moment they arrived in Shanghai.
Not only did everyone's salary triple, and the previously promised bonuses were not mentioned, they were also given an extra half-year's salary as their expenses in Shanghai.
Once he stays here for a long time, won't everyone be saying good things about him, Master Meng?
As for the ultimate figure who assassinated the Emperor of Japan?
Suspend, suspend.
Meng Shaoyuan was not in a hurry to use them immediately.
The guards around him must be absolutely loyal.
These forty-five guards are definitely warriors on the battlefield.
Can someone crawling out of the dead be wrong?
But when they change their environment, will they still be the same?
That's hard to say.
Shanghai is a colorful world.
Slaughter those who cannot yield, but money and women will change some of them.
Forty-five soldiers arrived in Shanghai with complete freedom of movement.
Meng Shaoyuan even arranged a local guide for them.
Everything they ate, drank and had fun was charged to Meng Shaoyuan's account.
Sure enough, in less than ten days, something happened to someone.
A soldier named Xiang Guogen got acquainted with a secret prostitute, and soon they became passionate and went there almost every day.
As a result, he told the prostitute all his identity.
When this information was sent to Meng Shaoyuan, Meng Shaoyuan felt helpless and crossed out Xiang Guogen's name from the list of guards:
"Give him a sum of money, give him to Yuan Jian, and let Yuan Jian take him back."
"What? Leave it to Yuan Jian?" Li Zhifeng was a little confused.
"Are you stupid? Doesn't Yuan Jian come to me every day to ask for people?" Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "We are not deadbeats. Can we pay the head office in installments? Those who are eliminated will be handed over to Yuan Jian."
"Understood."
"Of these forty-five people, if we can keep half of them, it is a victory." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "They came to Shanghai from Changsha with me. Although they are not adapted to the life here, we can't treat them badly. Some people are bloody. They are not afraid of rain and wind, but when the environment changes, their hearts will naturally change."
Does this seem to mean something?
