In fact, Seventy-Six did already smell something strange. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the past three months, No. 76 has been committed to revitalizing the black industry in the Japanese-occupied area, but unfortunately, it has been hit hard by the patrol camp, whether it is a big smoke house, a casino or a brothel, whether it is a big smoke house, a casino or a brothel, the opening of one, the patrol camp will smash one, tossing back and forth for more than three months, not a penny was earned, but tens of thousands of boxes of opium were lost!

For this matter, Li Shiqun and Ding Mocun were scolded by Ying Zuo Zhenzhao.

Now that the war is imminent, the revitalization of the black industry has been stopped by Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao.

The spies of No. 76 had nothing to do, and wandered on the street all day long, but several people were arrested by the patrol camp as hooligans of the Green Gang, and then they inadvertently discovered that the patrol camp was arresting the Green Gang hooligans and street gangsters, and Liu Zichen, who first discovered this matter, reported it to Wu Shibao.

Wu Shibao immediately reported it to Li Shiqun.

Li Shiqun immediately sniffed a strange breath from it.

When Li Shiqun arrived at the Nakamura office, he had just come out of the office building and was about to get into the car, because he was going to the headquarters of the Ninth Division to attend an operational meeting this evening.

"Your Excellency Dazuo, Your Excellency Dazuo." Li Shiqun hurriedly stretched out his hand to say hello.

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao was about to bend down and get into the carriage, when he heard someone shouting behind him, he got up again, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Li Shiqun, so he immediately frowned and said, "Li Sang, why are you here again?" Ying Zuo Zhenzhao also said that Li Shiqun came for the black industry, and he didn't have the time to accompany Li Shiqun to grind his teeth now.

"Your Excellency, I want an important military report." Li Shiqun saw the impatience in Ying Zuo Zhenzhao's expression, so he hurriedly trotted to the front of Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, and then said, "Our informant at No. 76 has just discovered important military information. ”

"Really?" Shadow Zuozhen sighed lightly and asked, "You say, what important military information?" ”

Li Shiqun said: "The patrol camp is arresting the Green Gang, hooligans and street gangsters in various districts of the concession. ”

"That's the important military information you said you were going to report to me?" Two black lines immediately floated on Ying Zuo Zhenzhao's head, and then he glared at Li Shiqun fiercely, and said, "Li Sang, it seems that you people on the seventy-sixth are too idle!" ”

"Your Excellency!" Li Shiqun hurriedly said, "This thing is unusual, I thought there must be a mystery." ”

"What's the mystery?" Ying Zuo Zhenzhao said angrily, "A few months ago, the patrol battalion began to arrest the Green Gang hooligans and street gangsters in various districts of the concession, in fact, in the past few months, their strike hard operations have not stopped, but now that the big war is imminent, the patrol battalion has intensified its crackdown in order to clean up law and order!" ”

"The big war is coming?" Li Shiqun said blankly, "What war?" Is there going to be a war? ”

Although Li Shiqun was the deputy director of No. 76 and the most loyal eagle dog of the Japanese, he did not know that the Japanese Seventh Division and the Twentieth Division were about to leave for Shanghai.

This is also the highest level of secrecy in the entire Japanese military system.

"Li San, tell you a secret." Ying Zuo Zhenzhao beckoned Li Shiqun to put his head up, and then attached Li Shiqun's ear and said, "The patrol camp is not as simple as you think, in fact, the patrol camp has long been secretly absorbed by the Communist Party, and their commander is your old acquaintance Xu Rui!" ”

"What?" Li Shiqun gave a cold shiver and said in a trembling voice, "Xu Rui?!" ”

Hearing the name Xu Rui, Li Shiqun's mind immediately floated a nightmarish scene.

More than half a year ago, Xu Rui came to Shanghai with the Wolf Tooth Brigade and launched a violent attack on their 76th like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and even the 76th headquarters was sniped by the Wolf Tooth snipers, and the captain of the 76th Guard Brigade, Sun Mingqi, was sniped by the Wolf Tooth in that operation.

"So, be careful." Seeing Li Shiqun being scared like this, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao immediately felt cruel pleasure, and then patted Li Shiqun's shoulder and turned to get into the car.

It wasn't until Ying Zuo Zhenzhao's car went far away that Li Shiqun shrunk his neck, looked left and right first, and then bent down and got into his seat, at this time, Li Shiqun had already forgotten his original intention of coming to the Nakamura office, and immediately ordered Wu Shibao to drive quickly, and then temporarily changed the route and took a long detour back to No. 76.

Let's not talk about Li Shiqun, a traitor, and then go back and talk about Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, and soon arrived at the headquarters of the Ninth Division.

The headquarters of the 9th Division was located in the former Japanese Navy Headquarters, which was a square building, and from the gate into it was a large playground in a zigzag shape, and at this moment, the large playground inside the building was already full of vehicles, including tanks, armored vehicles and trucks, and the number of side three-wheeled vehicles was also quite large.

Next to these vehicles, there were also large groups of Japanese soldiers lined up.

The sound of passwords one after another resounded throughout the playground, and even the air was filled with the tense atmosphere before the war, and after feeling this breath, Kageza Zhenzhao couldn't help but get nervous.

When I went upstairs, I was greeted by the war room of the Ninth Division.

Hearing the report of the guards, several generals and more than a dozen adjutants in the war room turned around one after another, holding the sand table with both hands, and standing in front of the sand table with the rank of lieutenant general, he was the division commander of the Ninth Division, Yoshizumi Ryosuke, and beside Yoshizumi Ryosuke, there were two major generals, who were the brigade commanders of the Sixth Brigade and the Eighteenth Brigade.

Kagesa Zhenzhao strode up to Ryosuke Yoshizumi, and immediately saluted, "Division commander!" ”

Yoshizumi Ryosuke returned the military salute, then frowned and said, "Kagesa-kun, why didn't Nakamura-kun come?" ”

Ying Zuozhen Zhao paused and said: "Back to the division commander, the commander of the Nakamura organ has entrusted the task of assisting the Ninth Division with full authority, please rest assured that our Nakamura organ will fully cooperate with the preparatory work of the Ninth Division, if the division commander has any requirements, despite the orders, we will definitely do our best." ”

"Okay then." Yoshizumi Ryosuke bowed slightly, and then turned back and continued to deploy the action plan.

At first, Yoshizumi Ryosuke was actually not in favor of initiating this battle, because the 9th Division was nominally one of the 17 permanent divisions, but it was only in name, and in fact, the 9th Division had already suffered two fatal losses in the Chinese theater, one in Huainan.

In the first stage of the Battle of Xuzhou, the 9th Division and the 13th Division, as the northward vanguard of the Central China Army, took the lead in advancing into the hinterland of the Central Plains, but because of the lone army, they were besieged by hundreds of thousands of elite nationalists in Huainan and the Beng Shell line, and the communication line of Feicheng was also cut off by Xu Rui, and the two permanent divisions were almost wiped out.

The second time was on the Huaiyin battlefield, when the Ninth Division was still stationed in Huaiyin, because of the friction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Itagaki Seishiro saw the stitches and prepared to join Han Deqin to kill the New Fourth Army in the central and northern Jiangsu regions, but was disrupted by Xu Rui, Han Deqin in turn cooperated with the New Fourth Army, and wiped out the Akiyama detachment sent by the Ninth Division and based on the Sixth Infantry Brigade, and the detachment leader Akiyama Yoshiyo was also killed.

After suffering two heavy losses, the Ninth Division was suddenly seriously injured and had to withdraw from the front line and be transferred to the relative safety of Shanghai to take on the garrison duty, so until now the structure of the Ninth Division is still not very complete, and the Sixth Infantry Brigade has just rebuilt a skeleton, and the strength is far from being replenished.

That is to say, the Ninth Division is nominally a division, but in fact there is only one brigade, and since the Huainan battlefield was hit hard, the technical equipment such as artillery, cavalry, and engineers has not yet been fully in place, especially the Ninth Wing of Mountain Artillery, in fact, there is only one mountain artillery brigade.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke has already suffered two big losses under Xu Rui, and he has a shadow on Xu Rui.

So at first, Yoshizumi Ryosuke did not agree to launch this military operation in any way, and he insisted that it should not be too late to wait until the 7th and 20th Divisions arrived! However, after reading the detailed action plan submitted by Xu Rui in the name of Liang Wuyi, Yoshizumi Ryosuke changed his mind.

Xu Rui's plan can be called perfect, when the main force of the patrol battalion enters the bar, there are marines in the east to intercept it, and the 19th Infantry Wing and the 36th Infantry Wing to the north and west are respectively, and the south is the most difficult, because the south side of the Sixing Warehouse is next to the Suzhou Creek, and the south bank of the Suzhou Creek is the middle area of the concession.

Although the media in Japan were building momentum for the Japanese army to enter the central and western areas of the concession, the British and French governments had already issued solemn warnings prohibiting the Japanese troops from entering the central and western areas of the concession and the French concession.

If the south side of the Sixing warehouse cannot be blocked, there will be a gap in the entire encirclement.

The emergence of the Broadway building has closed this gap and formed a closed loop.

Because the Broadway building belongs to civilian clothes, not the regular army, as long as they do not wear military uniforms, even if they poke a big hole in the sky in the central area of the concession, the Japanese government is not afraid.

It's just that Ryosuke Yoshizumi still has some doubts about the combat effectiveness of the Broadway Building.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke frowned and said, "Kagesa-kun, is the combat power of the Broadway Mansion really as strong as you described?" ”

"Hello!" Ying Zuozhen Zhao paused and said, "Division Commander, the combat effectiveness of the Broadway Building is still trustworthy, because since the establishment of the Broadway Building, in many confrontations with the patrol camp, there are also mutual victories and defeats, which cannot rule out the suspicion that the patrol camp is deliberate, but it is also an indisputable fact that the Broadway Building can fight." ”

After a pause, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao continued: "Moreover, Liang Sang promised me with his head that their Broadway building would definitely be nailed to the south bank of Suzhou Creek like a nail, and they would never take half a step back unless the division commander gave an order!" ”

"Yo Si." Ryosuke Yoshizumi said happily, "Then there will be no problem." ”
