When Ono Jiro handed over the task to Xie Xuan, it had to be done beautifully, at least on the surface.
After leaving the gendarmerie, Xie Xuan quickly reported Jiang Changli's decision to come to Shenpu and prepare to lead his troops in rebellion at any time.
Jiang Changli's troops are in Taizhou, surrounded by the territory of the New Fourth Army. If he becomes a puppet army, he will be a huge threat to the New Fourth Army and Han Side's department.
Xie Xuan didn't know Jiang Changli very well, nor was he familiar with the situation of his troops, but he felt that since Jiang Changli had come to Shenpu, he could not be allowed to go back.
This is considering the issue from the perspective of an agent. From the perspective of the national army, Xie Xuan feels that Shancheng may not strongly object to Jiang Changli's surrender to the enemy.
As long as Jiang Changli promises that after becoming a puppet army, he will not fight with the national army and will only cooperate with the Japanese army to deal with the New Fourth Army, Shancheng will even acquiesce in Jiang Changli's surrender to the enemy.
This is the result that Xie Xuan least wants to see. If Shancheng has no objection to Jiang Changli's surrender to the enemy, it means that Shancheng really makes anti-communism a top priority.
In fact, Shancheng's attitude can be seen from the Wannan Battle at the beginning of the year.
They can no longer tolerate the Communist troops. During the several years of the war of resistance against Japan, the Nationalist army became weaker and weaker, while the Communist army fought more and more, becoming stronger and stronger. Of course, Shancheng was afraid.
Yamashiro was worried that after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the National Army would no longer be a match for the Communist Army.
If this is the case, wouldn’t this arduous war of resistance serve as a wedding dress for the Communist Party?
Therefore, Xie Xuan made a vague suggestion to Shancheng. If it didn't work, he could order the New Fourth Army to attack Jiang Changli's tribe.
Before Xie Xuan left the Military Police, Ono Jiro specifically told him that his plan could not be launched until the order from the Special High School Division.
Xie Xuan knew that the Japanese must still be holding back something bad.
No matter what other conspiracy they have, Xie Xuan should do his own thing first.
The Japanese's purpose is to pull Jiang Changli's troops over, while Xie Xuan wants to keep this troops.
A force of 7,000 people can be called two armies in the national army.
In addition to Gong Bing's line, Xie Xuan also sent a telegram to the Shenpu office of the New Fourth Army, asking them to inform the head of the New Fourth Army to prevent Jiang Changli from defecting to the enemy.
Before Omu Yuri went to Taizhou, he met Jiang Changli.
Jiang Changli had a lot of fun in Shenpu. Yuri Omu waited until midnight at the Xinxin Hotel before seeing Jiang Changli.
Yuri Ohgi said seriously: "Mr. Jiang, according to the information we have received, Han Side already knows that you have come to Shenpu."
Jiang Changli said disapprovingly: "It's okay. I told him before coming here that I wanted to go out and relax."
Ohgi Yuri reminded: "It's one thing for you to go out to relax, but it's another thing to go to Shenpu. Besides, you have also been in contact with us. What if Han Side tells the mountain city personnel of Shenpu and asks them to investigate?"
Jiang Changli said disapprovingly: "I haven't had a few contacts with you. Besides, I'm just playing in Shenpu. It's okay if I find out."
Jiang Changli was so stubborn, Ohri Yuri didn't try to persuade him anymore.
Ohki Yuri did not send a report to Xia Peiwen immediately. Xie Xuan's suggestions can be listened to, but not completely.
After Xie Xuan left, he discussed with Ono Jiro again and reported his plan to the General Staff Headquarters.
The General Staff ordered the Thirteenth Japanese Army Corps to cooperate with Oki Yuri's plan.
Although Jiang Changli is willing to surrender, he must also be prepared for Jiang Changli's betrayal.
At night, in Dai Li's office at No. 19 Luojiawan, a mountain city, he was carefully reading the telegrams sent from Shenpu Station 3.
Dai Li was originally very serious and his face always looked livid. After seeing this telegram, his face became so gloomy that he could shed water.
Since the establishment of the Wang Puppet Government in Nanjing, many people who had been unsatisfactory in the national army have turned against each other.
For a little military pay, a little equipment, or even nothing, they transformed themselves into the Imperial Association Army.
In the Sulu-Anhui guerrilla column, Jiang Changli had always focused on preserving his strength. In the previous Battle of Huangqiao, he had reached a tacit agreement with the New Fourth Army, allowing Han Side's troops to fight head-on with the New Fourth Army. As a result, Han Side's troops were beaten to a pulp, and Jiang Changli Changli is like a bystander.
In southern Anhui at the beginning of the year, Jiang Changli cooperated with Han Side's troops to besiege the headquarters of the New Fourth Army.
However, Jiang Changli's troops behaved very cunningly, following the main force to grab the credit, and avoiding tough battles if they came up.
The old man has long been dissatisfied with Jiang Changli's troops, but Jiang Changli is fighting guerrillas in the rear. As long as they do not surrender to Japan, Jiang Changli will be allowed to preserve his strength.
But now, Jiang Changli wants to betray the country and nation and become a puppet army, which is absolutely not allowed.
Early the next morning, Dai Li took the telegram and went to see the old man.
Dai Li said: "Jiang Changli arrived at Shenpu, secretly contacted the Japanese, and prepared to surrender to the enemy."
"Mother Xipi, when the country is in danger, these people want to become traitors for their own personal gain!"
Dai Li lowered his head and did not dare to reply.
It was rare for the old man to curse. Once he said "Niang Xipi", it meant that he was really angry. At this time, silence is the best response.
"Don't just listen, tell me what you think too."
Dai Li pondered: "From the perspective of an agent, my people can punish him at any time in Shenpu. However, if Jiang Changli dies, will his troops mutiny immediately? Once a war breaks out with Han Side's troops, our losses will be maximum."
Jiang Changli wanted to be a traitor, which really disgusted him.
But if things are irreversible, then you must choose a method that minimizes losses or even turns losses into gains.
Last night, Dai Li stayed up all night just so that he could come up with an effective countermeasure when facing the old man today.
The old man said angrily: "You mean, just watch him become a puppet soldier?"
Dai Li said: "Currently, the Communist Army is our biggest opponent. If Jiang Changli can remain anti-Communist, when he gets there, it will reduce the pressure on our logistics supply."
"Jiang Changli only knows how to preserve his strength, how can he fight against the New Fourth Army?"
Dai Li said: "Then let the New Fourth Army attack Jiang Changli's tribe!"
The old man nodded slightly: "This is okay."
To him, Jiang Changli's troops were just a miscellaneous army. If they were not consumed in the war of resistance, would they still be retained to create obstacles for him after the victory of the war of resistance?
Letting the New Fourth Army attack them not only eliminated Jiang Changli's troops, but also consumed Jiang Changli's troops. It was really killing two birds with one stone.
Soon, Xie Xuan received a call back from Shancheng, who would send a special commissioner to contact Jiang Changli.
Xie Xuan knew that Shancheng had already made a resolution, and this resolution was definitely not to sanction Jiang Changli.
Xie Xuan felt very sad. When foreign enemies invaded, the country could not unite to fight against the outside world. How could we fight this war?
Three days later, Xie Xuan suddenly received an order from Ono Jiro to prepare for action.
Since Shancheng wanted to acquiesce in Jiang Changli's surrender to the enemy, Xie Xuan hoped to use his own methods to prevent the incident from happening as much as possible.
