Devil's Cave No. 76 is a spy agency that Wang created to suppress patriotic anti-Japanese elements without the support of the Japanese.

Wang's original vision was to stand up and clean up the mess after the country's military defeat on the battlefield of resistance against Japan. Then take charge of it and do it all you want, and live the addiction of a leader as you wish.

Even if he knew that such a leader could only take refuge under the wings of the invaders and endure humiliation, he would not hesitate to do so.

At the beginning, when I approached the Japanese, the Japanese agreed to everything. As long as he was willing to come out and reorganize the Nanking government, the Japanese promised that they would gradually withdraw their troops in the future.

Moreover, not only did he promise that he would have full leadership over the future administration of the whole country, but the Restoration government was also abolished. Even the coalition government in North China was under his command and the Sino-Japanese treaty was re-signed......

In short, everything is according to his heart.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived in Shanghai, everything changed.

The political situation in Peiping is fundamentally untouchable. The Nanjing Restoration government also did not leave, and only agreed to merge. And Shanghai's puppet mayor Fu Xiaoan refused to give way, and the Japanese supported each of these aspects.

The conditions that were initially discussed were all in vain.

Of course, the Japanese also have good reasons for defaulting on their debts. When Wang Wei first approached them, he boasted about Haikou, saying that as long as he raised his arms, at least 20 divisions of the national army would follow him.

Moreover, he also confidently said that after he made a statement, there would be at least tens of millions of people across the country who would welcome and support him, and half of the Kuomintang cabinet politicians would follow him.

It's just that the follow-up facts show that none of what he said can be fulfilled.

At this time, Wang Wei lived in Hongkou and shrank back everywhere in Japan's sphere of influence. As a traitor, going to the concession is even less popular, including safety is a big problem.

In this situation of confusion, his first action was to let his subordinates take out a huge amount of money to buy the 76th assassination agency. And it expanded aggressively, gathering a large number of so-called sharpshooters, intending to use pistols to solve external resistance.

Located at No. 76 Sifeier Road North in the West of Shanghai, No. 74 to the east and No. 75 across the road are all garden houses built by foreigners who purchased land from the Daotai Yamen, and the house number is the white house on a blue background of the public concession.

Before the fall, it was the residence of Chen Tiaoyuan, chairman of Anhui Province, with a western-style building, a new-style bungalow, and a large garden.

The gate is Western-style. On the east side of the gate, after the Sixth National Congress of the Wang Puppet Kuomintang was held on September 1, 1939, and before the "return of the Nationalist Government to the capital" in March 1940, more than 20 Chinese-style bungalows were built on two long strips facing each other in the north and south, which were used as the Social Department of the Central Committee of the Wang Puppet Kuomintang.

To the east of the gate is a lookout facing Jisfeier Road. Those who want to enter the gate must have a light blue pass.

The second gate was originally Western-style, and the "76" number was changed to the archway type, with the doorway in the middle, and the plaque above was "the world is public" with white characters on a blue background; The left and right rooms are built as gun holes, and two machine guns are erected for security purposes. Those who want to enter the second gate must have a pale red pass.

On the east side of the second gate, more than 20 Chinese-style bungalows were built in two long strips facing north and south. The westernmost one in the south is the office of Wu Shibao, the captain of the guard group. The westernmost one in the north is the interrogation room. The rest were the garrisons of the Guard Brigade, which later became the offices of the various offices of the "76".

Diagonally across from the west side of the second gate, is a three-story western-style building, called "high western-style house", and people who want to enter the high-level western-style house must have a special sign behind the collar.

When you walk up the stairs, you will be greeted by the hall and the stairs. The first room on the east side of the first floor is the reception room, which has two courtesans as receptionists. Behind the reception room is an inside and outside room, and outside is a telephone operator, with three male operators on duty in three shifts, and two courtesans sometimes come to help; The inner room is a storage room.

Opposite the reception room is the large dining room (dining room), which has a door to the conference room at the back, which is also the oath room for the new "76" spies.

There is a long and narrow corridor that leads to the guest rooms and the large hall to the west of the tall bungalows. Another corridor leads to Wu Shibao's bedroom at the back, and there are two small cells for female prisoners next to the corridor.

Two rooms on the third floor are prisoner rooms, with iron bars at the staircase and guarded by special personnel.

In front of the high bungalow is a large garden, and a large flower shed on the west side of the garden has been converted into a detention center. A two-room building was built to the west of the trellis to serve as an electrical office and the radio station was located here. In front of the trellis is a three-room bungalow, with a novel architectural form, which was used as a supervisor of the Japanese military police.

There is a three-room two-entry shikumen building on the west side of the high western-style house, and later the downstairs room was opened, the patio was set up with a glass ceiling, and a podium was set up, which was changed to a large hall that could accommodate more than 200 people, and Wang Wei's "Sixth National Congress of the Chinese Kuomintang" was held here.

After the Sixth National Congress of the Wang Puppet Kuomintang was held on September 1, 1939, and before the "return of the Nationalist Government to the capital" in March 1940, part of it was used as the Purge Committee, and the other part was used as the Social Department of the Central Committee of the Wang Puppet Kuomintang.

"No. 76" is a dead end in Huacun to the west, which was occupied on September 1, 1939 when the Sixth National Congress of the Wang Puppet Kuomintang was held, as the residence of the representative, and later as the residence of the senior officials of the "No. 76", the Purging Committee, and the Central Social Department of the Wang Puppet Kuomintang.

For this reason, the spies closed the door of the alley in Huacun, opened a door on the west wall of "No. 76", and entered and exited through the gate of "No. 76". After continuous expansion, No. 76, which was originally just a bungalow, has expanded to the point where cars are needed to travel to and from the interior, which shows the large area of the house.

There are three agencies within 76, namely the Puppet Agent Headquarters, the Social Affairs Department, and the Purge Committee.

The pseudo-social department is nominally organizing people's organizations to engage in popular movements, but in fact it is to recruit scum from all walks of life to join the traitor organization. The puppet purge committee specially incorporated stragglers from Chongqing.

Most of the tasks of the Purge Committee are concurrently held by special agents, such as Wang Mutian, who had fallen into the water earlier, and many of them were veteran military commanders who had renegade and turned to military work. They have the natural advantage of being very familiar with the contact methods and internal structures of the Central and Military Commands, as well as the personnel, and they are quite destructive.

Wang's puppet agent headquarters has incorporated many scattered units such as the "Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army" of military commanders in various localities and expanded them into a special agent operation team. Changshu, Kunshan, Songjiang, Qingpu and other places have also formed such a rabble of agents, which has strengthened the momentum of Wang's puppet agent headquarters.

In addition, there is also a police officer training class, that is, the special agent training class, which is called "Juchuan College" to the outside world.

From August 28, 1938, when Wang's puppet "Sixth National Congress of the Kuomintang" was held, to April 26, 1940, when Wang's puppet government "returned to the capital", the No. 76 secret service headquarters achieved rapid development in just half a year.
