Chapter 974: Dig a Small Pit Seven
Ying Zuo Zhenzhao supported the Wang puppet government in China and acted as a tool for Japan to enslave the Chinese people, and he was the most direct mastermind behind the scenes, and Chen Mingxiang was of course happy to see him unlucky.
It's just that it seems that the spy leader who created the Mei Agency was a little unlucky, and he was only assigned to Rabaul Fortress, and he was still appointed as the division commander of the B pack horse division, which is very disappointing.
"Welcome to the Shanghai market, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are still in style!" Chen Mingxiang saw Ying Zuo Zhenzhao who stepped off the plane, hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands vigorously.
"I'm just going to visit the old place again, and I won't be in Shanghai for long this time, but I feel very content to meet you." Kagesa said with a smile.
The airport is not a place to talk, the four of them got in the car and came directly to the Mara Villa, a large group of people from the Mei Agency were waiting here, and when they heard the car horn, they all ran out of the living room, which shows that Ying Zuo Zhenzhao still has some prestige in the hearts of his subordinates.
"Your Excellency General, welcome to the Humble House, please come to the tea room for a cup of tea, the chef is preparing, and you will be ready to dine soon." Wang Zhen bowed to Ying Zuozhen and said, this is etiquette.
"This time I came to Shanghai, I caused you trouble, I was also very sorry not to go, my friend brought me Japanese Gyokuro tea, just as a little of my heart!" Kagezo Zhenzhao also bowed in return.
He also heard that every time a joint intelligence meeting was held, a group of generals would come to Chen Mingxiang's house to drink tea.
Major General Youji Okada and Toshiharu Kaneji, economic advisers to Wang's puppet government, and military advisers Osaku Hamada, Nakamori Osa, Okada Osa, Saito Osa, and Captain Shinichi Nakajima bowed to their former bosses, Kagesa Zhenzhao.
Subsequently, under the guidance of Chen Mingxiang, a group of people entered the specially set up Japanese-style tea room, sat on the tatami mats and chatted, and Wang Zhen personally made tea, and there were two rows of long tables next to the tea table.
"Your Excellency, you haven't seen you for so long, you must have a lot to say, I'll go to the kitchen to see how lunch is prepared." Chen Mingxiang turned around and was about to leave.
"Chen Jun, you are not only the owner of Marat Villa, but also not an outsider to us, so there is no need to be too restrained. I came to Shanghai this time either to hold a military meeting or to get together with everyone, what do you have to avoid? Ying Zuo Zhenzhao pointed to the opposite side of him and motioned for Chen Mingxiang to sit down.
In fact, Chen Mingxiang didn't plan to leave, he was just making a show to them, actively staying and passively staying, giving people a completely different feeling, he wanted to maintain his consistent image.
But he knew that Ying Zuo Zhenzhao would definitely not let him go, this old devil is now the commander of the division, and the station is still in the distant Rabaul Fortress, and there are no military secrets to say, they are all mixed up in this one, and their mentality will also change a lot.
"When I first came to work at the secret service headquarters, Chen Jun was so cautious, I'm afraid this is a habit, of course, in the intelligence agency, it is right to be careful. But today is a gathering of friends, and it is also a gathering of old bosses and old subordinates, and you are a little out of sight when you do this. ”
"I've also heard that Kitazawa Ping, the new intelligence director of the Mei Agency's intelligence group, is always looking for trouble when he stares at you, which is very similar to his old superior, General Shibayama, and they are all the type of tricks and conspiracy." Qingqi Qingyin said with a smile.
In order to deal with Li Shiqun, Shibayama Kaneshiro actually abolished the Qingxiang Committee, and also said bad things about Kagesa Zhenzhao to the base camp, which already made him feel very unhappy.
But Chen Mingxiang didn't recruit anyone and didn't provoke anyone, this Bei Zeping just stared at it, as an old friend, he naturally wanted to complain about Chen Mingxiang.
He worked in the North China Front Headquarters, and he could not exert influence in Central China, but the people present were the core strength of the Mei organ.
Counting it up, Qingqi Qingyin is the first intelligence director of the Mei Agency, and then Nanzao Yunzi and Kojima Nariko, Kitazawa Ping's qualifications cannot be compared with him.
"Actually, Kitazawa did not have a good impression of the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army, and I heard the Chief of the General Staff, General Matsui Taikuro, say that this time Commander Isamu Yokoyama of the 11th Army mobilized the main force to launch a large-scale campaign against the Chiang Tong area, and the intelligence group of the Mei organ was ordered to be responsible for monitoring the enemy's movements."
"Kitazawa Ping personally went to the front line to reconnoitre, and came to the conclusion that the enemy did not see through the confusion of Commander Isamu Yokoyama, and there were no obvious signs of adjustment in the deployment, so the battle was carried out according to the original plan."
"However, the course of the battle was unexpected, the first round of attacks in the area of Anxiang Nanxian County, there was actually an enemy reserve, the battle went very smoothly, the Toda detachment and the Xiaochai detachment suffered heavy losses, two group leaders and seven squadron leaders were killed, and it took three days to achieve the goal than originally scheduled."
"Obviously, this is an advance arrangement made by the enemy, if it weren't for the pressure on the northern front, we would have suffered a big loss this time, and the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army and the Headquarters of the Eleventh Army have questioned Kitazawaping's intelligence capabilities, but they just didn't say it." Hamada Daisa, who is in charge of the military mobilization of Wang's puppet government, said.
The large-scale operation launched by the 11th Army did not make any major breakthrough in terms of strategy, so it was said to have failed, killing and wounding more than 30,000 Yamashiro government troops at the cost of more than 5,000 casualties, and Isamu Yokoyama's command was also criticized by the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army.
In this battle, there was also a black pot, that is, Kitazawa Ping, whose intelligence work was also listed as one of the reasons for the failure, but the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army did not announce it, and in the minds of several important generals, this guy's ability is really not very good.
"Your Excellency General, the Qingxiang Committee has been revoked by the head of the Chai Shan Organ, Li Shiqun's spirit seems to have been stimulated now, he is worried that his strength will be weakened step by step, I always feel that something is going to happen." Chen Mingxiang said.
"Shibayama Kaneshiro's cancellation of the headquarters of the Qingxiang Committee is not a good move, not to mention Li Shiqun's personal problems, in fact, the existence of the Qingxiang Committee is very necessary."
"The work of clearing the countryside was very important for consolidating the rule of the Jinling government and safeguarding the interests of the empire, especially the blockade of the Chiang Tong area and the underground party base area, which achieved great results."
"If there is no strong leadership and power is given to the local provincial governments and special cities to operate on their own, it will quickly become a mess, and at the same time, it will also weaken the control of the Mei organ over the Jinling government and reduce its own power." Kagesa said.
