Chapter I: Emergencies
At night in 1939, the neon lights were shining brightly, and it was a prosperous scene.
Although it has been occupied by the Japanese invaders, the lives of the common people have to go on.
It's been more than a year since I left the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Chen Mingxiang walked back to the house he rented, looking at the night scene of the surrounding streets, and felt very cordial in his heart.
It's not even ten o'clock, and it's the busiest time on the streets.
He came out to buy a pack of cigarettes, don't look at the fact that he is only twenty-four years old, but his addiction to smoking is not small.
With the sound of the engine, he turned his head to see two six-wheeled trucks with machine guns, full of Japanese soldiers, passing by.
There were about forty or fifty people, with armbands on their arms, and at a glance they knew they were Japanese military police.
There were also two Ford sedans behind the truck, and I didn't see who was inside, but Chen Mingxiang thought it should be an important person.
"Bang Bang!"
Chen Mingxiang, who was more than 200 meters away from his residence, suddenly heard a burst of gunshots, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground.
Thinking of the Japanese soldiers who had just sailed by, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
The gunfire became more and more intense, and Chen Mingxiang sneaked near the house he rented, and saw the scene that worried him the most, the Japanese military police were exchanging fire with the people in the hotel next to him.
The surroundings are all blocked, and the people inside will definitely not be able to escape, and even the fool knows what happened, and the mission has leaked!
Paralyzed, this has just arrived in Shanghai, how do the Japanese know?
Out of the traitor, this was Chen Mingxiang's first thought.
But he didn't think much about it, ran a few meters quickly, grabbed the courtyard wall of the rented house with a bouncing hand, quickly climbed into the courtyard, and observed the situation of the Japanese from the gate.
There was a loud "boom", the ground trembled slightly, and the gunpowder smoke next to it was full of dust, and the huge explosion force shattered the glass of some surrounding residents.
At the same time, there was a rush of screams and shouts of terror.
Chen Mingxiang clenched his fists in pain, and his nails almost pierced his palm.
He knew that this was the comrades of the special task force of the military command in the hotel, who set off the explosives and died with the Japanese military police!
Next to a Ford sedan, stood a pretty figure in a trench coat, half of her face covered by sunglasses, and her true face could not be seen.
There was a guy standing next to her, groveling and saying something.
Chen Mingxiang looked at this bastard, his eyes almost burst into flames, and he wanted to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.
Qin Zhongliang! The operational liaison of the Shanghai Special Administrative Region of the Military Command, and it was he who arranged for the Einsatzgruppen to be at this hotel this afternoon.
No wonder the Japanese knew about it on the first night of coming to Shanghai, and the contact person defected, how could it be safe?
Chen Mingxiang is not afraid of death, and when he participated in the Qingpu special training class, he already had such an awareness.
This mission actually died before the division was launched, and this result is unacceptable, and the key is that it is a secret from a traitor to the military commander.
"You are the contact person of this Einsatzgruppen, the military commander estimates that he will not receive accurate news until tomorrow, I will arrange for you to stay in the Hongkou Hotel and send someone to protect you, do you understand what I mean?"
To Chen Mingxiang's surprise, the woman actually took Qin Zhongliang to speak near the gate hole in her small courtyard, and she couldn't help but carefully suppress her breathing, for fear of being heard by the two.
"When the military commander of the Shanghai Special District learned that the Einsatzgruppen was completely wiped out, he must have guessed that I did it, as long as the section chief set up an ambush in the hotel, they would definitely throw themselves into the net, and the military commander would never hesitate to pay any price to traitors." The guy said.
Neither of them thought that what it means to have ears on the wall, and all these words were heard by Chen Mingxiang inside the door.
"Report to the section chief, a total of five members of the Military Command Einsatzgruppen are all there, but unfortunately there are no survivors, and we have also lost eight gendarmes, and four were wounded." The head of the gendarmerie squad said.
"Takahashi-kun, it's hard work, although it's a pity, but to be able to have a complete Annihilation Ranger has achieved its goal."
"Count them lucky this time, if they are captured alive, I will chop them up and fry them and feed them to the wolf dogs!" The woman said lightly.
Her voice is very good, with a peculiar charm, but the viciousness exposed between the lines makes Chen Mingxiang stand on end.
Chen Mingxiang and the rangers, although they had only met briefly in the afternoon, he could feel that these brothers were really good men who regarded death as home!
As the liaison officer of the Einsatzgruppen, Chen Mingxiang did not appear on the docking list of the headquarters because he had other tasks to perform.
This time, he rushed to Shanghai ahead of schedule to prepare a secret radio station, so he did not take a boat with the Einsatzgruppen to the wharf, but picked up his head at the hotel.
Fortunately, Qin Zhongliang didn't know that there were six people in the Einsatzgruppen.
"Chen Gongshu, a bastard with no eyes, actually arranged a renegade liaison for the Einsatzgruppen, and he, as the head of the Shanghai Special Economic Zone of the Military Command, disappointed me too much." Boss Dai was furious when he received the news.
This special unit was selected from the backbone of the spy group of the Qingpu special training class, and was proficient in techniques such as explosives, assassination, and shooting.
"Bureau, Chen Gongshu has not been in Shanghai for a long time, and the personnel have not yet become familiar with it, and they are still used by Wang Tianmu's team in the past, so he can't be blamed for it." Confidential Director Pan Qiwu said.
"Send him a telegram immediately, asking him to kill this traitor within two days, or at all costs, we can't let the Central Commander see our jokes!" Boss Dai gritted his teeth and said.
"Bureau, Chunfeng is more aware of this matter, did he also temporarily join the hoeing team of the Shanghai Special Economic Zone?" Pan Qiwu asked.
"I was very surprised by Chunfeng's performance, he was not afraid of danger, and he also found out the hiding place of the traitor, which proved that the training of secret students was very effective."
"He continues to carry out his original plan, and he cannot have direct contact with anyone other than you, nor can he reveal his identity, and I expect more surprises from him." Boss Dai said.
Chen Gongshu, who received the order from the headquarters, scratched his head a little when he looked at the message, the Einsatzgruppen wiped out this mistake, and the responsibility was indeed his.
You said that you can't choose anyone, you chose a traitor, and Boss Dai scolded him for being blind, and what he said was not wrong at all.
"The Einsatzgruppen team was wiped out by the special high school as soon as they arrived in Shanghai, no wonder the boss was angry, but now is not the best time to assassinate Qin Zhongliang, the Japanese have laid a net and are waiting for us to go!" The captain of the operation said with a frown.
"Do you see the boss's order, we must eradicate this traitor at all costs, even if we are all dead, we have to complete this task, let's think about how to carry it out!" Chen Gongshu said helplessly.
Chen Gongshu didn't know what the consequences would be if this matter was rushed.
At present, Shanghai is not the territory of military control, and it is the sphere of influence of the Japanese outside the concession.
What's more, this mission was carried out at the Hongkou Hotel, which is where the Japanese live, and it is a problem to escape.
But Boss Dai's instructions must not be discounted, Chen Gongshu knows this very well, since the hole was poked out by himself, he must fill it up by himself.
"It's strange, how did the headquarters know that Qin Zhongliang lived in the Hongkou Hotel, could it be that there were other intelligence officer activities in the special high class?" The captain of the operation was puzzled.
