After a long while, Xie Jinyuan changed the subject: "Platoon Leader Yang, do you know the origin of Mr. Yan Yan?"
"To be honest, I don't know." Yang Deyu said truthfully, "Lao Yan suddenly appeared from the waterway, just after midnight on October 31, less than ten minutes after you left."
"What? You don't even know his origins?" Shangguan Zhibiao was stunned.
"Is origin important?" Yang Deyu said, "As long as he is Chinese, he can fight the Japanese."
"We really don't know his origins." Wu Jie shook his head and continued, "But there is a high probability that he is an overseas Chinese, and he must have been a soldier and received a military school education."
Yang Deyu said: "Tuanzuo, don't you also suspect that Lao Yan is a spy?"
"I don't doubt it. How could Mr. Yan be a Japanese spy?" Xie Jinyuan shook his head quickly and said, "I'm worried that he might be from over there."
"Over there?" Yang Deyu asked in confusion, "Where is it?"
Wu Jie obviously understood, but he didn't explain much because he didn't know the answer either.
Xie Jinyuan ended the topic: "Let's not talk anymore. Everyone is tired today, so let's go to bed early. We'll talk about anything tomorrow. It's not urgent anyway."
…
"Where did this severity come from?" Bao Daizhen also asked the same question.
After several consecutive losses, Bao Daizhen finally began to face up to the national army in Sihang Warehouse, or in other words, began to face up to the seriousness. If he didn't face it, he would have to deal with this madman in the future.
"Who knows where he came from? He's a fucking lunatic. He's ready to self-destruct and drag the entire concession to pay for his burial." Langdale cursed.
Bao Dezhen turned his eyes to Sophia and asked: "Sofia, didn't you do an exclusive interview with him? Then do you know the origin of this person?"
"I didn't ask about this, but I think even if I asked, he might not be able to tell." Sophia shook her head.
"Oh, by the way, this guy asked me to bring you a message." Langdale shrugged and added, "He said that the account for the detention of the national troops has not been settled yet, and the concession board has to make it public. Apologize and provide necessary compensation."
"Wishful thinking!" Bao Daizhen was furious again when he heard this, "He really dares to speak."
Sophia said: "Uncle, I advise you to settle this matter as soon as possible, otherwise you will only lose more."
"What do you mean?" Bao Daizhen's face turned even uglier. "Can't you see that this is a threat? If you satisfy him this time, he will only ask for more next time, and he will never be satisfied."
"Of course I know this is a threat." Sophia spread her hands and said, "What I mean is that we can at least have a good relationship with him. One is to pay a price but have a good relationship, and the other is to pay the same price, but both parties have a good relationship. The power is like water and fire, uncle, which one do you prefer? If it were me, I would definitely choose the former."
"The public concession will not be led by anyone, not the Japanese, and even less so the Chinese." Bao Daizhen snorted coldly and said, "England's dignity does not allow anyone to provoke!"
"Well, you're right." Sophia shrugged.
…
Shimomura Masuke and Maeda Ritsu have returned to the headquarters located at 2121 North Sichuan Road.
"Ono-kun, has there been any reply from the intelligence department?" Ritsu Maeda called the intelligence section chief Naoto Ono over.
"Chief of Staff, the intelligence department has responded, but there is very little information." Naoto Ono said, "So far, we have only found out that this person's name is Jun, nicknamed Living King of Hell. He has been a soldier, and may have received a Western military school education."
"Is that all?" Ritsu Maeda frowned. What's the use of such information?
"Baga!" Masasuke Shimomura said with a dark face, "These losers in the intelligence department are really disappointing."
Ritsu Maeda was not angry, and just told Naoto Ono: "Let the people from the intelligence department continue the investigation."
After sending Naoto Ono away, Ritsu Maeda said to Masasuke Shimomura: "Your Excellency, Commander, although the intelligence department has not been able to obtain much information about this serious situation, it can still be concluded from the analysis of the battles in the previous two days that this serious situation not only has the past He has great tactical commanding skills and is very good at seizing opportunities.”
"So, what do you want to say?" Shimomura Masasuke asked.
Ritsu Maeda said in a deep voice: "We must beware of a breakout by the Chinese army."
"Breakthrough?" Masasuke Shimomura said in astonishment, "You mean the Chinese army dared to break through?"
"Yes, the Chinese Army will never sit still and wait for death. There is a high probability that it will break through head-on!" Ritsu Maeda said, "So it is necessary for the Zhabei detachment to set up defenses on the west and north sides of the Sixing Warehouse."
"Yoshi." Shimomura Masasuke said with a smile on his face.
It is difficult for the national army to fight if it hides, but it is easier to deal with if it runs out.
…
In the Liuyuan Canteen in Suzhou, Chairman Standing Committee was so busy that he had dinner.
In addition, Zhang Wenbai, Chen Cixiu and other senior officials were accompanying him.
One thing to say is that although Chairman Standing Committee is politically weak, he is still relatively frugal in life, at least not like Empress Dowager Cixi who ate hundreds of dishes and hundreds of taels of silver for a meal.
While eating, Chairman Standing flipped through today's briefing.
The so-called briefings are summaries of various newspapers excerpted by the attendant's office.
As a result, after reading a few articles, Chairman Standing Committee felt that today’s porridge was no longer tasty.
Because without exception, these briefings are severe praise of the "Living King of Hell".
"Where did this living king of hell come from?" Chairman Standing put down the briefing with a gloomy expression.
"You are really acting arrogantly. You dare to do whatever you want with a single platoon, and you even broke away from the 88th Division to form the Songhu Independent Regiment?"
"But it is impossible for such a person to be unknown. Either he came back from studying abroad like Sun Fumin, or he came back from Germany like Qiu Yu'an, or he came back from France like Liao Jianchu. But it is impossible to suddenly Coming out of Sihang Warehouse, I couldn't help but ask, what on earth is going on?"
There is no problem with the logic of the Chairman of the Standing Committee. He has studied abroad, has a high cultural level, excellent military quality, and also has extremely outstanding tactical command capabilities. If he can possess these characteristics at the same time, it is absolutely impossible to borrow them from an unknown person.
Do you think a young overseas Chinese who returned from overseas to participate in the Anti-Japanese War could have such outstanding tactical command capabilities? How can he still have such excellent military qualities? Stop fucking talking, it’s absolutely impossible!
Several of the dignitaries accompanying the meal put down their bowls and chopsticks in unison, not daring to breathe.
"Wen Bai, you are the old commander of the 88th Division. Even you don't know?" Chairman Standing directly named him.
Zhang Wenbai, who was sitting diagonally opposite, quickly stood up and said with some embarrassment: "Commissioned, I really don't know this person because of his humble position. How about calling Sun Yuanliang to ask? Maybe he can know."
"Forget it." Chairman Chang finally shook his head.
Anyway, it won’t be able to bounce around for a few days, and it will soon be wiped out by the Japanese.
However, how many days can a strengthened platoon be able to sustain a fight?
However, before this thought was finished, Qian Moyin, the director of the attendant's office, walked in hurriedly.
"Commissioner, I just received a call from Chen Shunong from Shanghai. The 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment, who was detained in Hebang Building, has been picked up by the Songhu Independent Regiment."
The chopsticks that Chairman Standing had just picked up stopped in mid-air.
This slap in the face really caught him off guard. He had just been thinking that the Songhu Independent Regiment only had a reinforced platoon of about fifty people, and they would be wiped out by the Japanese army in a few days. However, before he could finish his thoughts, Qian Mo Yin Que came to say that the Songhu Independent Regiment had picked up the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment, which was previously detained in Hebang Building. There were more than 300 people there!
Moreover, these more than 300 people are all veterans, veterans of hundreds of battles in the true sense!
Zhang Wenbai, Chen Cixiu and other senior officials accompanying him also looked at each other, this matter was a bit complicated.
Finally, Chen Cixiu said cautiously: "Commissioner, although the more than 300 officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment were picked up by the Songhu Independent Regiment, they may not necessarily join their Songhu Independent Regiment."
"It doesn't matter if you join the Songhu Independent Regiment. After all, it's still the National Army. As long as it resists Japan, it's fine." Chairman Standing dropped his chopsticks while he was still in the air, picked up a chopstick and said, "I Chang still have such a big heart." of."
Ah, yes, the committee member is right. Liu Xiang, who is lying in Hankou Wanguo Hospital, fully agrees with this.
