The 197th sanctions cannot solve the problem
On January 10, 1938, the Japanese Navy Air Force dispatched 50 aircraft to cover the landing of the Marines along the island city, and then entered the city. The island city was immediately lost. By the 17th, the entire Jiaoji Railway was also occupied by the Japanese army.
At this point, the Japanese base camp used the island city as a bridgehead and military station base for the war of aggression against China, and stationed a large number of armed forces in the island city. In addition to the geographical location of the island city, this was also due to the economic status of Shandong Province.
Shandong Province has a vast territory and rich resources, with coal, iron and other underground minerals, as well as rich agricultural and livestock products. These resources and specialties can be quickly transported to Japan by sea, and the funds consumed are very small. It is not surprising that the island city, as the transfer center, is so valued by the Japanese authorities.
Dai Chunfeng sighed when he thought of this, and recalled the Japanese army at the Isle City Forces Department's Office, and said worriedly: "According to the previous information at the Isle City Station, the Japanese army stationed in the Isle City are divided into two parts: Army and Navy.
The number of naval personnel is more than 5,000. The person in charge is Lieutenant General Sanghara Qinggen, who is in charge of the island urban areas, the sea surface around the Shandong Peninsula and the coastal land. His strength is even stronger than that of the pre-war national navy.
It has 1 medium-sized aircraft, more than 40 aircraft, 1 8,000-ton cruiser, 2 3,000-ton destroyers, 3 1,000-ton destroyers, 2 Marine Corps brigades, and several field war airport garrisons.
The army's forces are mainly the 5th Mixed Brigade codenamed Tong, which is under its jurisdiction, the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th battalions and direct teams, with a total of more than 5,000 people. In addition to the forces of the suburbs and the strongholds in eastern Shandong, the total strength is about 8,000.
It is equipped with dozens of light combat vehicles, more than 200 light and heavy machine guns, hundreds of large and large artillery pieces, more than 200 cars, and 3 reconnaissance aircraft. Its maneuverability and firepower are the best among the Japanese troops stationed in China.
Including the local military police, Japanese police station, Marine Corps, Navy Fourth Fleet, Soldier Station, Air Force, Hospital, Naval School and other institutions, there are more than 30,000 Japanese troops in the small island city.
The whole city is like a hedgehog with a thorn. It is carrying out intelligence operations in such a place. The island city station has little sacrifice. I am afraid that even this will not be able to punish those rebellions. Be careful, what do you think should be done in this operation?"
In his eyes, compared with someone's order, dozens of lives at the island city station are nothing. If this is the price that must be paid, he will not hesitate at all.
As the saying goes, kindness does not control the army. War itself is anti-human. Sometimes, in order to achieve a certain purpose, even if you know it is going to die, you must make up for the general.
Zuo Chong did not answer his question directly, but asked Lao Dai a question after careful consideration: "Teacher, do you think it is important for the committee to kill those rebellions, or is it important to negotiate with the Japanese?"
Dai Chunfeng was stunned and said with some uncertainty: "It is important to kill rebellion?"
As he said that, he thought about it and quickly changed his mouth: "No, it is important to have peace talks with the Japanese!"
Zuo Chong shook his head slightly and whispered his opinion to the other party: "Teacher, the students think that it is most important to make the Japanese no longer believe in Ji Ni and others, at least to make the Japanese doubt the reliability of the pseudo-government.
Otherwise, if a few traitors are killed, more traitors will emerge, which will not be able to fundamentally solve the problem. Only by destroying the relationship between Japan and puppet can the strategic purpose of the Commission to occupy an advantageous position in the peace talks with Japan be achieved.”
"Yeah? Keep talking."
After hearing this, Lao Dai became interested, relaxed his body and leaned on the sofa, signaling Zuo Chong to continue talking. He wanted to see what surprises his proud disciple would bring to him.
"Okay, teacher."
Zuo Chong straightened his back and replied, and then said what he thought: "Instead of spending a lot of manpower and material resources to let the brothers risk their lives to punish traitors, it is better to find a way to instigate one or two important officials of the pseudo-government.
We want them to surrender publicly, or even personally testify against Ji's despicable behavior of selling off the country for glory, so as to undermine the legitimacy of the so-called new government and expose the other party's conspiracy to establish a new central government, which is what the committee hopes to see.
In this way, the Japanese will inevitably have suspicion of other senior executives of the pseudo-government. With the suspicion of the Japanese, the stolen listen, investigation, and even arrest and torture, it will be inevitable. This will greatly blow the morale of the traitors and make them afraid.
In the final analysis, this matter is a political governance problem. When political governance is solved, military means will be inferior. Of course, this is just a little immature view of the students. What should I do? Students listen to your orders from the teacher."
Instigate, publicly testify, discord...
A few keywords flashed through Dai Chunfeng's mind, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally he showed a faint smile, looking at Zuo Chong and pretended to be unwilling.
"Be careful, I actually kept my teacher in a silence. Say, I know you and never fight unprepared battles. If you say that, you must have a specific plan. Let me tell you, where are you going to start taking action?
I have to remind you that Ji Ni is all his old subordinates who have been with him for many years and are very loyal. Otherwise, they would not have followed him to rebel against the enemy. It is probably not easy to instigate such people. Be careful of the other party’s counter-espionage plan.”
On the one hand, Lao Dai praised Zuo Chong's suggestion, and on the other hand, he also expressed his concerns. Qin Hui had three other good friends, not to mention Ji Mouren, the top two figure in the national government.
Regarding the worry of the cheap teacher, Zuo Chong nodded slightly to agree, and then took out a stacked document from his pocket, expanded it and handed it to Dai Chunfeng to report to him.
"Teacher, this is the latest information sent back by the "pangolin". After he and the defected Central Commission for Intelligence Director Mou Zhiye entered the Japanese-occupied area, they were first locked up in the Jinling Gendarmerie for screening. After several rounds of interrogation, they were sent to his uncle's office.
The other party is the deputy minister of the interior of the puppet government in preparation, and the people who are interacting with the top Japanese and puppet officials. According to Pangolin's inquiry, Ji Ni has recently seized the negotiation process with the Japanese. The two sides are likely to sign a new sell-country agreement, and the content of the agreement still needs further investigation.
At present, only those responsible for the negotiations are Zhou Fushui, Mei Siping, Tao Xisheng, and another representative Gao Zongwu said that he had not gone to illness, but one thing is very interesting. Gao and Tao, the two confidants of Ji Ni, have become marginalized in the pseudo-government."
Since the last time in Wanzhou, this is the first piece of information that Xing Hanliang sent back to the Military Control Commission. The content is not much but very important. It is precisely because of this piece of information that Zuo Chong decided to use the method of indictment rather than sanctions to complete someone's task.
While being happy for his old classmates, he was also worried about the other party and successfully passed the screening. This sentence is easy to say, and the process must be thrilling, even full of blood and pain.
"oh?"
On the other hand, Dai Chunfeng exclaimed and immediately sat upright, took the document and read it quickly. The information was indeed the same as Zuo Chong said. In the currently tentative list of pseudo-government positions, Gao Zongwu and Tao Xisheng are one of the deputy ministers of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the other are the director of the Propaganda Department, and they are not considered core positions.
Their old colleagues, such as Chen and Zhou Fushui, are at least the real power ministers, and they all hold heavy power. Even some juniors from the reorganized faction have obtained higher official positions than them. If Tao is resentful, the answer is inevitable.
Not to mention anything else, like Gao Zongwu, a famous "Japanese expert" within the Gory Party, he reorganized the veterans. He had happened in the East Asia Club and had been with Ji for more than ten years. He also took the risk of beheading Ji and fled to Hanoi to preside over and participates in many negotiations with Japan, and has obtained a lot of benefits for Ji.
Now he has only obtained a mere position as deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You should know that in the 24th year of the Republic of China, Gao Zongwu, who was only 29 years old, became the director of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If he did not defect to Ji, the position of deputy minister would be stable.
Compared with the two, Dai Chunfeng doesn't believe that the other party will have no other ideas. Political governance is the art of dividing spoils. He pays more and gets less. Not to mention superiors and subordinates, even fathers and sons will turn against each other.
The same is true for Tao Xisheng. When he was in Shancheng, he was a member of the National Defense Senate. He participated in politics. He had a noble status. When he became a traitor, he only got a nameless director of the propaganda department. He probably regretted it.
After reading it, Dai Chunfeng shook the information in his hand and said excitedly: "Be careful, okay, if Gao can be won over, Tao will come and let them publicly testify against Ji, it is more effective than killing ten thousand traitors!"
He said, raising his head and sighing: "Your old classmate is not simple. He can pass the Japanese's identification so quickly and convey such important information. I want to remember great achievements for him."
Remember great achievements?
Just don't be cleared after victory.
Zuo Chong complained in his heart, and said something gratitude to Xing Hanliang, thanked Lao Dai one by one, and then said the plans that had been formulated long ago, asking Dai Chunfeng for approval and authorization.
Dai Chunfeng waved his hand and took all the measures to solve someone's troubles fundamentally without spending too much resources. He had no reason to object.
Soon, a radio wave was sent from the Military Commission Telecommunications Office and was instantly transmitted thousands of miles away. It was finally received by a radio station in a residential dark room in Jinling.
On that day, there was an inconspicuous advertisement on the exterior wall of the Confucius Temple Tycoon Nightclub. This was just a program trailer for ordinary people, but for some people, it was a code to notify emergency contacts.
On the other side of the city, Yihe Mansion Road was as quiet as before the war. The traces of the war had long disappeared. In the sunlight, two young men walked out of a villa with a Du Mansion sign hanging.
One of them stopped on the side of the road and bowed to thank him: "Brother Xing, thank you for introducing Deputy Minister Du to me today. I will never thank you for your kindness. If you have any use to your brothers in the future, I will speak as much as possible."
The person who spoke was Mou Zhiye who stole the list of agents in the Central Commission for Discipline, and Xing Hanliang was naturally standing opposite him.
At this time, Xing Hanliang no longer had the hesitation of that day. He was dressed in a suit and tie, half-finished leather shoes, and was dressed in a small K-shirt. He was so handsome that he seemed to have suffered a little injury on his legs and limped when walking.
Hearing Mou Zhiye's thanks, Xing Hanliang waved his hand in a grand manner: "Hey, you don't have to be polite. You and I survived the death of the mountain city. It can be called a friend of life and death. It is just a matter of raising your uncle. Why do you have to thank me?
But if you really want to thank me, why don’t you invite me to the Tycoon Nightclub. I heard that there were a group of Japanese singers there, and their bodies were very graceful. I haven’t tasted this Japanese woman’s taste, hahaha~”
