Although the 77 riots were well planned and the operation was very smooth, there were still unexpected mistakes.

The uprising, which began in the early morning of 7 July and lasted for two days, dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance and morale of the Japanese army, and boosted the fighting spirit and confidence of the people of the whole country.

The rebellion was finally quelled when the American authorities dispatched troops and the British authorities dispatched White Russian mercenaries.

In this riot, Kenji Dohihara almost died under the sniper rifle of Chen Baohua, the head of the Shanghai District of Zhongtong, which made him extremely angry, and he hated Chen Baohua of the Shanghai District of Zhongtong even more!

The riot also strengthened Kenji Dohihara and established the idea of establishing a powerful secret service.

At the time of the uprising, because many Japanese were in the U.S.-controlled concession, the Japanese military authorities asked for permission to send troops to assist the U.S. army in maintaining order in the public concession, but the U.S. commander refused.

However, the US military promised that they would provide everything possible to protect the Japanese population.

The concession authorities mobilized all military and police forces, including the White Russian Volunteers, to prevent unrest.

During the 24-hour patrol after the end of the riots, nearly 1,000 suspects were arrested in the patrol room of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, and hundreds of suspects were arrested in the patrol room of the French Concession.

One of them, Jiang Haisheng, was arrested with a grenade in his hand.

Jiang Haisheng was actually a peripheral organization of the military command that participated in the July 7 Shanghai Riot, and was a member of the action group of the China Youth Salvation Association.

Jiang Haisheng is a native of Jinjiang who was born in Nanjing.

In July 1937, while Jiang Haisheng was studying in Shanghai, he saw a recruitment advertisement in the newspaper and participated in the China Youth Salvation Association led by Zhao Gangyi and Sun Yaxing.

After the outbreak of the Battle of Shanghai on August 1, members of the China Salvation Association began to build fortifications in Nanxiang, Shanghai, and later received training to participate in the three detachments of the Einsatzgruppen under the Action Committee of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, led by Zhu Xuefan.

At the beginning of November 37, Jiang Haisheng's detachment and the police corps were ordered to hold Nanshi and cover the retreat of the army.

In mid-November, Jiang Haisheng and others, after receiving the order, retreated to the French Concession, and Jiang Haisheng and some others were interned in a refugee camp.

Subsequently, Sun Yaxing, the leader of the China Salvation Association, got in touch with Dai Li in Hankou, and returned to Shanghai in April 1938 to engage in anti-traitor activities.

At the beginning of July, after Jiang Haisheng and Sun Yaxing got in touch, before the riot, they were assigned to Yu Songqiao's second action group, under the leadership of Zhao Gangyi, who was already a member of the military command, and accepted the tasks assigned by him.

On the day of the riot, at 4 p.m. on July 7, Sun Yaxing, Jiang Haisheng and other activists gathered in the park to accept the new task assigned by Yu Songqiao.

At 8 p.m. they left the park and rented a room at a restaurant to play mahjong for the night.

At half past four in the morning, after receiving Yu Songqiao's order to act, they set off.

The others were all going well, except Jiang Haisheng, who was intercepted by patrols on the road of the mansion at 5:20 a.m. when he was taking a rickshaw to the mission site.

At that time, Jiang Haisheng was still holding a grenade in his hand.

After interrogation, Jiang Haisheng confessed that he had ties to the underground organization of the military command.

Fan Keling, director of the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, asked the US and British embassies to bring the matter to the attention of the Chinese Government and cooperate with the authorities of the Shanghai Concession to prevent the recurrence of terrorist activities in the future.

After the riot subsided, the British ambassador read out Fan Keling's letter when he met with Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek assured the British ambassador that he had nothing to do with these crimes, but that he would use all his influence to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

On the day of these events, under the chairmanship of Kenji Dohihara, the heads of the Japanese Consulate, the Japan Shimbun, the Japanese gendarmerie, and the various military intelligence agencies of the Japanese army, about 30 people, held a meeting at the Japanese Club on Bunjishiji Road, and adopted seven resolutions, which were submitted to the concession authorities:

1. The Consulate General sets a time limit for the immediate arrest of terrorists by the concession authorities;

2. Demand that the concession authorities allow the establishment of a Japanese secret service and allow the agents of the Chinese puppet government to exercise their functions and powers, so as to facilitate the investigation of anti-Japanese elements;

3. The Japanese authorities are free to exercise police powers, including arrest and investigation powers.

4. Demand that the authorities of the two concessions suppress the anti-Japanese organizations in China;

5. Police officials from the Shanghai Restoration Government will be sent to the two concessions to guide the investigation;

6. The intelligence officers of Japan and the Restoration Government should redouble their efforts;

7. Members of the Anti-Japanese Organization shall be punished with death.

In addition, the decision to request the police department of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau to increase the number of police stations in Shanghai, West, Japan and China was added.

These terms were actually made by Kenji Dohihara and Ryuichi Hiraoka, as well as Daisa Kuroda of the Japanese military police headquarters living in Shanghai, who studied brewing together.

In response to this decision of the Japanese, the Ministry of Industry and the Police Department took three measures.

The first was the organization of an operational team dedicated to the investigation of terrorist activities.

As soon as the concession authorities received the seven-point resolution from the Japanese, this task force began to operate in the Laozha Capture House, with the goal of eradicating terrorist activities in the public concession and concentrating on the investigation of assassinations and other terrorist activities.

The members of the task force are cadres drawn from various capture houses.

The second measure taken by the Bureau of Industry was to try to restrain the anti-Japanese elements in China from using the French Concession as a refuge.

The authorities of the French Concession also wanted to curb terrorist activities in the concession, but the jurisdiction of such cases was under the jurisdiction of the Third Branch of the Jiangsu High Court and the District Court of the Second Special District of Shanghai in the French Concession.

The judges of these two courts, appointed by the Nationalist Government, usually regarded such cases as patriotic acts of resistance against Japan rather than terrorist crimes, and adopted a rather lenient attitude when sentencing.

In fact, sometimes the courts have been instructed by the National Government to rescue people who have failed to do so.

Therefore, the police department of the Ministry of Industry hopes that the French Concession authorities will not hand over the terrorists to the Chinese courts for trial, but will directly extradite them to the Japanese.

The direct extradition of terrorists to the Japanese is the third measure taken by the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry of the Public Concession.

As early as the beginning of 1938, the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry claimed: "Anyone who commits a crime against the armed forces in the public concession may be extradited to the armed forces involved." ”

On July 19, after the riots, the Ministry of Industry revised this rule to read: "Anyone who carries weapons or explosives without the permission of the concession authorities, or who is connected with terrorist activities, shall be expelled from the concession." ”

Although the U.S. consul believed that if this was the case, the Japanese would abuse the accused without a public trial in an attempt to extract information about terrorist organizations, and therefore opposed this provision.

However, this regulation was still promulgated, and the Ministry of Industry tried to curry favor and appease the Japanese by prohibiting terrorists and using the public concession as a base for activities.

The next day, the patrol of the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry took Jiang Haisheng across the Waibaidu Bridge and extradited him to the Japanese military police.

This is despite the fact that the Nationalist Government, in submission to the U.S. and British governments, submitted a formal letter of protest stating that the extradition violated the agreement of the Shanghai Provisional Court.

However, since then, the police department of the Ministry of Industry has continued to hand over the so-called terrorist suspects they have captured to the Japanese military police on the other side of the Waibaidu Bridge.

Since then, some people have compared the Waibaidu Bridge to the Bridge of Sighs!

That is, the bridge that connects Venice to the Dorjee Palace and the National Penitentiary Execution Ground.

Feng Chen's intelligence team has been paying close attention to these changes in the policies of the concession authorities, and promptly reported these regulations of the concession authorities in detail to the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau in Chongqing.

According to the intelligence of Feng Chen's intelligence group, the Military Command Headquarters requires all organizations in the Shanghai Concession to abide by three regulations when carrying out assassinations and bombings in Shanghai:

1. The heads of the operational organizations must carefully examine and consider the thoroughness of the plan before implementing it, so as to avoid arrest of the operatives during the operation.

2. If the operatives fail to escape, they must shoot themselves.

3. Operatives must be dispensed with poison for use in situations where they cannot shoot themselves.

The reason why there are the latter two provisions is because once they are arrested by the concession patrol, they will eventually be extradited to the Japanese military police, and it is better to end it as soon as possible than to suffer the cruel torture of the Japanese military police.

After Feng Chen received this order from the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau, he immediately conveyed it.
