In mid-to-late March 1943, the Second Guerrilla Zone, under the command of Wu Guanqi, launched a large-scale offensive across Guangdong!
The Self-Defense Forces and assembly brigades of the fifth and seventh guerrilla districts also spontaneously went into battle at the same time.
At the same time, the Dongjiang Column, Pearl River Column, and Chaoshan Hanjiang Column of China Engineering Group gathered most of their people to cooperate with the operations in the second guerrilla zone.
Jiangmen, Foshan, and Panyu simultaneously sounded the clarion call for the Chinese military and civilians to fight back!
The scale of this attack and the amount of force invested were rare after the fall of Guangzhou.
The Japanese and puppets huddled in strongholds and county towns, desperately resisting.
At that time, the main force of the Japanese army was mopping up in northern Guangdong, leaving Guangzhou with an empty frontline force.
As for the puppet regime, Chen Yaozu was assassinated, and Lu Rongchun had just assumed the post of commander-in-chief of the Peaceful National Salvation Army. Military and political orders were in chaos, and they were unable to coordinate operations.
This makes the counterattack, like a prairie fire, burning!
In the city of Guangzhou, the latent agents of the military command and the plainclothes teams of the national army also began to take frequent operations to deal a heavy blow to the Japanese puppets in Guangzhou!
On the day after Chen Yaozu's death, Guan Zhenliang, a famous traitor in Guangzhou, was completely wiped out.
The tragic deaths of Chen Yaozu and Guan Zhenliang made the traitors in Guangzhou panic.
But at this time, the leaders of the puppet regime in Guangzhou were already fighting for the power vacuum left by Chen Yaozu, with their eyes red!
Li Daoxuan is determined to win this position.
And he also knows very well that with his own personal strength, the competition he has to face is too fierce.
He must find a strong ally.
And Lu Chunrong is obviously the most suitable candidate.
They had a "pleasant" cooperation in the Pan Yunge gold case.
Moreover, Lu Chunrong has already assumed the post of commander-in-chief, so he will naturally not have another chance to get involved in the position of senior official of GD Province.
This time is the best time to win over him.
As long as Lu Chunrong can agree, and the police force, the secret service, and the Peace National Salvation Army join forces, even the Japanese will have to be wary.
What he didn't know was that at this time, although Lu Chunrong was in the excitement of winning the post of commander-in-chief, he was also in distress at the same time.
One hundred and fifty thousand dollars!
what to do?
He was convinced that Wu Yan's grandfather and son had played a great role in getting this position.
Now, it's time for you to fulfill your promise and pay back.
Some people can do good things, but they can also do bad things.
He is indeed the commander-in-chief, but the word "agent" still clearly hangs there.
An "agent" can become a regular employee at any time, and can also be replaced at any time.
The secret lies in this.
One hundred and fifty thousand US dollars is an astronomical sum.
Even Lu Chunrong was unable to gather such a large amount of funds in a short period of time.
what to do?
Lu Chunrong had a headache.
But Li Daoxuan's wooing allowed Lu Chunrong to see a glimmer of an opportunity when he was at his wits' end.
…
The city of Guangzhou fell into chaos.
As the initiator of all this, Meng Shaoyuan was sitting in a cafe, tasting coffee that he didn't like drinking very much.
Guangzhou is an open city.
Even after the fall, Western restaurants and coffee shops still survived tenaciously.
The operator of this cafe is a handsome and charming proprietress in her thirties.
Meng Shaoyuan, who had a mustache, started flirting with the proprietress from the moment he entered the cafe.
What kind of customers has the landlady never seen?
What kind of rumors have you not heard?
She has seen many guests with evil intentions like this.
There was a smile on his face, and he was perfunctory on his lips, but he said "poof" in his heart.
He is nothing more than a deceiver with two dollars in his hands.
After a while, the door of the cafe opened and Gao Yinglan walked in.
He ordered coffee and snacks and sat across from Meng Shaoyuan.
Outside, a police car roared past.
"It's not peaceful." Meng Shaoyuan sighed.
"It's not peaceful." Gao Yinglan also sighed.
Then, he stirred the coffee: "Eight o'clock tonight, Guandi Temple."
"Have you all been notified?" Meng Shaoyuan said nonchalantly.
"Yes, Li Alin from Hongmen and Shao Weimao from Jingdong Hall were notified and attended on time."
"Jingdongtang? Are you a courier?"
"What? Express delivery?"
"Ah, it's nothing. I thought I know someone who does transportation, also named Jingdong. What a coincidence, what a coincidence."
Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Where are the things?"
Gao Yinglan took out a cowhide bag and handed it to Meng Shaoyuan.
Meng Shaoyuan took it, opened it and looked at it.
Inside, there was a pistol and two magazines.
"I've done what you asked me to do."
Gao Yinglan then said: "The man's name is Shen Tonghe. He used to be a coolie. Later, he got lucky and was appreciated by his employer, who gave him a sum of money to do some small business in Guangzhou.
As a man, he is an honest man. After his wife died, he lived alone and had no children. I told him that he doesn't mind her identity as a shipgirl and is willing to live a good life with her. "
Meng Shaoyuan nodded.
That boat girl was Xi Xiaoyue, whom he had spoken to on Xu's boat.
Meng Shaoyuan has always been a very emotional person.
Since he met Xi Xiaoyue by fate, he started to think about it in his mind.
The boat girl was very miserable. Xi Xiaoyue was only twenty-one years old, but she was about to face the fate of being old, sick, and abandoned.
Why can't we give them a good ending?
There are too many sad stories in this world.
Why can’t there be more comedy?
Gao Yinglan is the leader of the Beggar Clan. He has a wide network and has many friends.
He entrusted the matter to him.
"I also made an agreement with the mother on the ship about the ransom fee." Gao Yinglan continued, "You don't have to worry about these things."
"Okay, then I'll let you worry about it."
Meng Shaoyuan didn't even say "thank you".
Gao Yinglan actually felt very satisfied.
He is a local snake in Guangzhou, so it is easy for him to handle this matter.
If Meng Shaoyuan keeps saying "thank you" and pays for it himself, that means he has not regarded Gao Yinglan as one of his own.
Meng Shao was originally their immediate boss, and now that they had such a good opportunity to make friends with him, Gao Yinglan would seize it at all costs.
Moreover, when he assassinated Chen Yaozu, Meng Shaoyuan also specifically asked Beggar Clan disciples to participate.
The Beggar Gang and Gao Yinglan also became famous in one battle!
In the future, when rewards are given based on merit, one's own share will definitely not be missed.
Such a person can be friends with, and is worthy of deep friendship.
Gao Yinglan looked at the time: "It's almost there."
Meng Shaoyuan said "Oh", took out the pistol from the leather bag, and pulled the bolt.
At this time, they were the only customers in the cafe.
Gao Yinglan suddenly said to the proprietress: "Lian Niang, let me use your place to kill someone."
The landlady muttered: "Don't get blood everywhere."
"Ah, do you know each other?" Meng Shaoyuan touched his head.
"I've been attracted to her for a long time." Gao Yinglan said with a smile, "But the line girl just doesn't like me."
