"You can enter and leave the Japanese military camp at will?"
When waiting for Shang Heng again, Meng Shaoyuan asked.
"Most of the time." Shang Heng said, "But if the Japanese take action, there is no way for me to get in.
As for other times? I became familiar with them from time to time, and I would often go to the military camp to help them with things, and no one would bother me. "
"That's good."
Meng Shaoyuan nodded slightly: "Two things. First, contact Xu Zhu as soon as possible. The sooner the better. Don't do this."
"I'll let Xie Changcheng go." Shang Heng replied immediately: "He is smart and familiar with Xu Zhu's activities."
"Okay, let him leave immediately." Meng Shaoyuan continued: "There is something else I need you to do. When Yoshida entertains Sichuan at a banquet tonight, is there any way you can find out the news?"
"what news?"
"How many people did Shangchuan bring and when did he leave?"
Shang Heng didn't hesitate at all: "Okay."
"So you're sure?" This time, Meng Shaoyuan was a little curious.
Shang Heng smiled: "Yoshida likes to eat chicken. I once cooked one for him. He was full of praise for the food and asked me to cook chicken in the future.
Brother, just now he asked me to buy wine to entertain Sichuan. I used this idea at that time to see if I could find out what was going on, so I bought a chicken specially. "
Meng Shaoyuan knew that he really no longer needed to worry about these young agents.
The speed of their growth far exceeded their imagination.
What are the good qualities of an agent?
Be well prepared before something happens.
Obviously, Shang Heng is like this.
"What's the origin of this Shangchuan?" Li Zhifeng asked curiously.
"The captain of the 61st Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Fourth Division." Shang Heng immediately said: "After the Fourth Division was transferred from the Philippines to Thailand, one regiment and two regiment captains stayed. "
"What do you mean?" Li Zhifeng was confused.
Shang Heng continued: "Isn't it because the Fourth Division can't leave behind their property? The Thirty-seventh Osaka Infantry Regiment keeps delaying the transfer of orders from their superiors, but their superiors can do nothing about them.
Another one is this Shangchuan. After he arrived in the Philippines, he did a lot of business, but he really couldn't leave his business behind. Therefore, when the 61st Infantry Regiment was mobilized, he said that he was ill and could not follow the troops for the time being.
As a result, the disease has persisted to this day. What kind of inspection? Just wandering around the Philippines, looking for business. As for the troops in Thailand, he threw them directly to his deputy. "
Li Zhifeng was dumbfounded.
What kind of officer is this?
"Don't mention it, the Japanese army really relied on the Fourth Division to capture the Philippines. This is probably one of the few battles they won, right?" Meng Shaoyuan said at this time: "And among them, the most dedicated That’s the 61st Infantry Regiment.”
"Ah? The Fourth Division can also fight?" Li Zhifeng didn't believe it at all: "They are notorious on our domestic battlefield."
"The wording is not accurate." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "You should say that the Fourth Division is notorious among the Japanese army, but it is extremely beneficial to us."
Among the Japanese invaders, the Japanese Fourth Division had the lowest casualty rate and the most intact equipment and materials.
Since Yamashita Fengfumi became the division commander of this division, his reputation as a "strong general" has also been greatly affected.
However, when Yamashita Fengfumi brought the Fourth Division to Southeast Asia, this unit showed extraordinary "combat effectiveness" and was commended by the Japanese base camp many times.
Building roads and bridges, looting wealth, digging holes to hide treasures, as long as it is not a dangerous task, the Fourth Division has completed it very well; if it is a task involving money, this Japanese army will simply fight for their lives. , victory after repeated battles.
】
Therefore, Yamashita Fengfumi cherished this unit, which was derogated as the "most useless division" by his peers, and specially asked them to perform some special tasks to avoid the front line.
This special mission is to "rob the wealth of Southeast Asia"!
The commander of the Japanese 14th Group Army, Masaharu Honma, led his troops to invade Southeast Asia, and Tomofumi Yamashita was also transferred to cooperate with the attack.
Masaharu Honma had long heard of the infamous 4th Division and left them in Shanghai to rest.
However, as the war became increasingly tense, Masaharu Honma, who had been unable to penetrate the US defense line, finally transferred the 4th Division at the suggestion of Yamashita Tomofumi.
The mission of the 4th Division is to attack the Bataan Fortress, where tens of thousands of U.S.-Philippine coalition troops are stationed.
Before the arrival of the 4th Division, the Japanese 16th Division also violently attacked the Bataan Fortress. However, the so-called elite 16th Division struggled in front of this fortress for more than two months. In the end, more than half of them died and returned home defeated.
After the Japanese 4th Division arrived, they leisurely spent every day building roads, building bridges, and constructing artillery positions. In their spare time, they continued to do business.
After learning all this, Masaharu Honma angrily ordered the 4th Division to attack at all costs.
The 4th Division solemnly stated that it would carry out the order, but also insisted on the deployment of enough artillery units and aircraft.
In the next few days, Japanese artillery and aircraft bombarded the Bataan Fortress indiscriminately. The 4th Division also poured more than 10,000 artillery shells in its inventory onto the position day and night.
The powerful artillery fire frightened the US-Philippine coalition forces trapped in the fortress. After only holding on for 5 days, they chose to surrender!
In this battle, the 4th Division only suffered 600 casualties, killed and wounded more than 5,000 coalition troops, and captured more than 60,000 U.S.-Philippine coalition troops!
Masaharu Honma was surprised and delighted. He did not expect that this "weakest division" unit could actually attack the Bataan Fortress, which was said to be "impenetrable in three years."
Therefore, he personally asked for credit for the 4th Division, and also praised Yamashita Nobumi at the base camp for recommending him the 4th Division.
However, after that, the 4th Division relapsed and only thought about business.
He doesn't care if you are from the resistance organization or someone else. As long as you have money, there is no business that they dare not do.
Even when they were mobilized, there was still one wing and two wing captains who refused to leave.
Relying on Yamashita Fengwen, others can't do anything to them.
"It was this Shangchuan who led the regiment that was the first to attack the Bataan Fortress." Shang Heng curled his lips: "Shangchuan fell down and cried out. He announced that he was the first to charge. Injured.
After that, when he was transferred, he repeatedly said that his injuries had not healed yet, and he openly stayed in the Philippines. "
"I'm convinced, I'm really convinced." Li Zhifeng sighed: "It's really strange for Japan to have such officers and troops."
"It's a good thing for us. I'm a little reluctant to kill Shangchuan." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "It is beneficial to us that such a person is alive. But I have no choice. He can only be treated as a bad luck for our plan. Egg!"
