Less than 120 hours after the famous Prince Hatohiko of Shanggong arrived in Shanghai, he was assassinated in broad daylight in the Japanese concession, and it was absolutely a shame for Japan that a dignified member of the imperial family was assassinated, and the Shanghai garrison, which had more than 10,000 troops, could not find any trace of the assassin. In order to assassinate Prince Kaomiya Hatohiko in Shanghai, the Japanese cabinet sent a number of special envoys to Shanghai, and at the same time, the emperor also sent imperial envoys to Shanghai to deal with the matter.

The major newspapers and radio stations in the Kuomintang region were once again busy, and only a few days ago they reported the news that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had jointly attacked many Japanese airfields in the enemy-occupied areas, and in the blink of an eye, there was another big news in the newspapers that made the people in the Kuomintang region unbelievable: a prince of the Japanese imperial family was assassinated and killed in Shanghai by anti-Japanese fighters. Although the description in the newspapers and radio is not very clear, this does not prevent the people in various parts of the Kuomintang from spontaneously organizing celebrations, and the death of the Japanese imperial prince in Shanghai by the Chinese is in itself an exciting event for the Chinese people.

"This Zhuo Fei, when I agreed to let him go north, I was still a little hesitant, but now it seems that Zhuo Fei is more suitable to appear in the enemy-occupied area, and it seems a bit overkill to force him to stay in the rear." The high-level officials in the joint command have been in a very good mood recently, because Zhuo Fei has brought them too many surprises. First successfully attacked many airfields of the Japanese army, and then killed the old spy Kenji Dohi, and now it is the turn of Prince Kanomiya Hatohiko, and I don't know if the next one will be the high-ranking person in the Japanese army.

"At the beginning, I also disagreed, always thought that there were only two of them, I thought that Zhuo Fei had something to hide from us, but now it seems that I am a little cautious. Guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines does not depend on the number of people, but on the smoothness of intelligence and the rhythm of action. ”

Mao Zedong's self-criticism attracted the nods of several other people, but in fact, when Zhuo Fei asked to leave Chongqing and prepare to go north alone, none of them agreed with Zhuo Fei's decision. Although these high-ranking officials no longer have to engage with the enemy on the battlefield, after all, they are also people who have fought and led troops, and they all know the dangers and difficulties on the battlefield. But they never expected that although Zhuo Fei and the others were only two people, they did something terrifying to the enemy in the enemy-occupied area, which was undoubtedly an unexpected result.

"Now it seems that Zhuo Fei's guerrilla warfare plan behind enemy lines should be feasible, although the Japanese army is still pressing step by step, but on the whole, the pace of the Japanese army has been contained." Zhou Enlai, who was overworked, showed a trace of tiredness on his face, but his voice was still loud when he spoke, "Most of the Japanese army is now in a state of confrontation with our side, and I think it is time to order the guerrillas that have been scattered and infiltrated into the enemy-occupied area to move." In this way, it can not only disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army behind enemy lines, but also make the Japanese army mistakenly believe that our side has no strength to fight again, and can only use attack tactics to delay time. ”

Zhou Enlai's words made Chiang Kai-shek nod slightly, and at the same time agreed, "That's right, En's words are good, the training of the new army still needs time, and what we lack most at present is time, it is time to let those guerrilla troops move." Regardless of the results of the battle or the number of enemies killed, we should try our best to contain the living forces of the Japanese army, as long as we can completely mess up the enemy-occupied areas. Chiang Kai-shek actually had another meaning that he did not say, Britain and France had already sent special envoys to Chongqing to try to persuade China to make every effort to contain the Japanese army. Chiang Kai-shek also looked forward to receiving some aid and help from Britain and France.

Chiang Kai-shek's words were not finished, but the high-level people present knew very well that the matter of contact with the British and French envoys was decided by them together, and why they didn't want to send things to their doors. "I think we have to be patient now, the British said that the road will be closed, if it weren't for Zhuo Fei's side in the name of transporting Jews, the batch of heavy equipment received by the new army behind might be in vain. Now it's their turn to ask for help, but we have to knock on the bamboo pole a little harder, otherwise we will waste such a good opportunity. ”

Mao Zedong's words caused a burst of laughter in the conference room, the Germans were attacking in Europe, and although the British and French forces joined forces to contain it, it still could not weaken Germany's foreign expansion. The intelligence points arranged by the military commanders in Europe have continuously transmitted information, and the current situation of Britain and France is not very good, after jointly declaring war on Germany, the German army has already cleared many small European countries and turned around to attack France.

It is said that Britain and France are the old European empires, and in the First World War, Britain and France were still the victorious side, but unfortunately the British and French forces fought with the German army several times, and each time it ended with the German victory. "I'm also in favor of taking a look first, let's not be in a hurry to choose allies now, after all, when we declared war with Japan, those European countries have been watching the excitement. Now it's their turn to sit on wax, and we don't need to act as a pioneer, get the benefits we want, and only then can we talk about things, otherwise we will always be able to eat and drink for them, and the right is that there are a few more European refugees in Chongqing. ”

A series of changes after the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have made the high-level leaders of the joint command full of confidence, and the 100,000 new troops promised by Zhuo Fei have been reorganized into the last batch. Although most of the 100,000 new troops have not been trained for more than half a year, the equipment and weapons of the new army are the strongest in the whole of Asia, and once these 100,000 new troops form combat effectiveness, they will definitely be a sharp knife in the hands of the joint command.

What's more, in the Jewish settlement of Ruili, Zhuo Fei's umbrella company has also formed more than a dozen Jewish infantry regiments and two armored units, and the number of Jewish soldiers who have been armed and trained has already exceeded 150,000. Although the intelligence department of the joint command could not enter Ruili to find out the relevant information, the office of the Yunnan provincial government in Ruili was very respectful of the Jewish troops, saying that if they had another six months of training, they could be pulled into the battlefield and fight directly.

There were 100,000 new troops allotted state-of-the-art weaponry, and the Umbrella Company had more than 150,000 Jewish troops, including 250,000 well-equipped reserves. Although the 250,000 troops cannot be transferred to the battlefield in one go, as long as these troops are used well, the Japanese army will definitely be exhausted to deal with them, and this is where the confidence of the high-level people sitting in the joint command lies. Finally with the back-up preparations, when the high-level people faced the British and French envoys, they naturally showed less enthusiasm, after all, it was Britain and France who were in a hurry to stabilize the backyard.

In the ultimate plan formulated by Zhuo Fei, one of the steps was to take advantage of the Japanese occupation of South Asia and the British and French colonial powers were unable to counterattack, and to draw superior forces to take the opportunity to go south to control South Asia in the name of driving out the Japanese army. China and Japan are belligerents, and the Chinese army that turned the tide of the war expelled Japan, which occupied South Asia, which no country in the world can find fault with. When Zhuo Fei explained this plan to the high-level officials, many colonial countries were the only obstacle to the plan, but the war in Europe was irreversible as Zhuo Fei expected, and at this time, there were still high-level people who did not agree with Zhuo Fei's plan.

The high-level leaders in Chongqing were discussing how to knock on the bamboo poles of Britain and France, but the Japanese troops in Shanghai had already blockaded the whole city and carried out a close search for several days; apart from searching for a number of members of the so-called underground organization from North Korea and some intelligence personnel from the Soviet Union, the Japanese troops in Shanghai had not found the whereabouts of Zhuo Fei and the others, and even the intelligence personnel of the military commanders and the Chinese Communists had not found a single one. As soon as the news of the assassination of the Japanese prince spread, the commander of the military commander's intelligence station in Shanghai had already foreseen the possible troubles and immediately sent all the intelligence personnel who might be exposed out of Shanghai.

The cargo ship that was waiting for the two of them on the dock belonged to the umbrella company, and the European crew on board were all German Jews, and the Japanese could not tell the difference between German Jews with fake passports and real Germans. Going north to Tianjin was not on the whim of Zhuo Fei, but because Zhuo Fei received a telegram from Angela, saying that the guerrilla troops trained in Ruili were all scattered and infiltrating the enemy-occupied area, and Zhuo Fei went north this time to guide these guerrilla troops to take root behind enemy lines.

A total of 10,000 guerrilla soldiers, a number that would have attracted the attention of the Japanese army even on a frontal battlefield, but if they were to be divided into pieces and placed in enemy-occupied areas, they would be somewhat inconspicuous. "Don't underestimate them, they haven't shown their value yet, and once the guerrilla tactics are effective and effective, you will find that they will not achieve much less results behind enemy lines than your frontal troops." This sentence is what Zhuo Fei said to those senior officers in the new army when he was still in the Ruili training camp, except for the officers from the Eighth Route Army, others have always been very skeptical of Zhuo Fei's words.

"Then I'll show you the power of guerrilla tactics, give me three months, and I can turn the whole of North China into a hell and a grave for the Japanese army." Looking at the dock that was getting closer and closer, Zhuo Fei, who was standing on the deck in the wind, couldn't help but tilt the corners of his mouth to show a smile. In his mind, he already had a rough plan, and as long as he successfully connected with the guerrilla troops who had infiltrated North China in batches, his guerrilla plan would have a chance to be carried out.

"North China, I'm here, damn the Japanese, are you ready for war?" Zhuo Fei, dressed in Western-style clothes, stepped on the gangplank and boarded the dock, looking left and right, the noisy dock did not make Zhuo Fei feel happy, but made his eyes unconsciously reveal a strong killing intent towards the Japanese soldiers on the dock.
