Hearing that General Wang Geng was being followed at the Charlie Hotel, Hua Yinghao and Feng Chen stopped talking, pushed the car door and got out of the car, Hua Yinghao said: "Brother Feng, let's rush over and see who is following General Wang." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Feng Chen beckoned to his car behind, Mo Sanqiang immediately understood, got out of the car, ran over quickly and asked, "Team Leader Feng, is there a situation?" ”

"This is Captain Hua of the Anti-Japanese Death Squad, his people are in the Chali Hotel in front, and they found that someone is following General Wang Geng of the tax police regiment, why don't you follow me over to have a look." Feng Chen simply introduced Hua Yinghao to Mo Sanqiang.

The parking place was near the Chali Hotel, Feng Chen and Hua Yinghao hurried over and rushed into the lobby of the Chali Hotel, but they were already one step too late.

In the lobby, Takayoshi Tanaka and more than a dozen Japanese plainclothes spies confronted a patrol team led by Liu Shaokui, who rushed to the public concession patrol room.

Takayoshi Tanaka was pointing at Wang Geng with a Wang Ba box, and shouted loudly: "This person is a spy and has committed acts that violate the security of the Great Japanese Empire, and we will take him away for interrogation." ”

"This is the public concession, you can't arrest people here casually, if there is anything to do in the patrol room!" Liu Shaokui said without any room for negotiation.

"Yaga!"

"Jiuga can't do it, what are you doing here Baga?! This is not a Japanese concession, this is a public concession. Liu Shaokui teased Takayoshi Tanaka without being soft or hard.

Mo Sanqiang, who was standing behind Feng Chen, asked in a low voice, "Team leader, what should I do?" How about we forcibly snatch General Wang away? ”

"Don't act rashly, lest you hurt General Wang." Feng Chen replied in a low voice.

"Brother Yinghao, what do you think should be done?" Feng Chen tugged at Hua Yinghao's clothes and asked softly.

"Suppress Tanaka Takayoshi's momentum first, and don't let him take people away from here and mediate again in the patrol room." Hua Yinghao replied in a low voice.

"Good! I'll go up and entangle Tanaka Takayoshi first, and you arrange for someone to keep an eye on his men. Feng Chen commanded in a low voice.

"Isn't this Tanaka Shaosa?" Feng Chen walked to the front of the crowd and greeted Takayoshi Tanaka in a loud voice.

"You ......, Feng Sang, why are you here?!" Tanaka Takayoshi was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that it was Feng Chen.

"I came here to visit a friend, but I didn't expect to meet Tanaka Shaoza here to brush up his prestige, aren't you afraid of making trouble in this public concession, and it's not good to report to Consul General Hiraoka?" Feng Chen knew very well that the contradiction between Ryu Hiraoka and Takayoshi Tanaka was very deep.

"Feng Sang, it's not your business here, please leave quickly!" Takayoshi Tanaka said as if he hesitated.

Feng Chen could see from the subtle changes in Tanaka Takayoshi's demeanor that he was tracking Wang Geng without Hiraoka Ryuichi knowing, so Feng Chen concluded that Tanaka Takayoshi was also afraid of making things bigger.

At this moment, more than a dozen people rushed into the lobby of the hotel, all with shell guns in their hands, and came in and surrounded Takayoshi Tanaka without saying anything.

Seeing this, Liu Shaokui said loudly: "Don't move around, don't kill any mess!" ”

As soon as Liu Shaokui's words fell, a large number of patrols came in from outside the door, holding guns, and surrounded everyone in the hall under the command of the first foreign patrol.

"Give me all the guns here!" The foreign patrolman ordered.

Feng Chen glanced at Tanaka Takayoshi, stepped forward and said, "Tanaka Shaozuo, I think you'd better go to the patrol room to solve it, lest you be beaten by chickens and eggs." ”

Takayoshi Tanaka thought for a while, put away the gun in his hand and said, "Let's go!" Go to the patrol house. ”

Feng Chen took advantage of the chaos to walk to Wang Geng's side and said softly: "General Wang, after you arrive at the patrol room, you must hand over your briefcase to the patrol surnamed Liu just now for safekeeping." ”

Wang Geng nodded slightly at Feng Chen.

The patrols escorted Wang Geng and Tanaka Takayoshi and their party towards the outside of the Chali Hotel, Feng Chen quickly approached Liu Shaokui and said in a low voice: "Inspector Liu, you must try to keep Mr. Wang's briefcase, if it falls into the hands of the Japanese, you will be in great trouble!" ”

"Go, go, go! Leave quickly! Liu Shaokui looked at Feng Chen and nodded, shouting loudly.

Seeing Wang Geng being taken away by the patrol, Feng Chen instructed Mo Sanqiang: "Sanqiang, you rush back immediately, report the situation here to Chief Zhang, and report it to the Fifth Army Headquarters, to prevent the leakage of military secrets, I will go to the patrol room with Captain Hua." ”

……

In the early morning of the next day, the Japanese army began to launch a full-scale attack, and Shirakawa Yoshinori learned the lesson of the failure of the previous three commanders in the frontal attack, and decided to land on the Liuhe River, the flank of the defenders, which was weakly defended, and flank the defenders of Songhu on both sides.

At three o'clock in the morning, the 9th Division and other units attacked Song and Shanghai head-on, and escorted the 11th Division into the mouth of the Yangtze River with the 3rd Fleet, and suddenly landed at the mouth of the Liuhe River, Yanglinkou, and Qiyakou, and quickly outflanked the rear road of our defenders.

This time, the Japanese army launched an offensive on all fronts in Naobei, Jiangwan, and Miaohang.

They first bombarded with heavy artillery, field artillery, steel cannons, and aircraft, while the infantry took advantage of the situation to attack, and both sides fought with each other, suffering heavy casualties; At the same time, Shirakawa secretly ordered the 11th Division, taking advantage of the weakness of China's weak forces on the Liuhe side, to forcibly land at Qiyakou, Yanglinkou, Liubinkou and other places to occupy Liuhe.

The fall of the Liuhe River seriously threatened the flanks and rear of the Chinese army, and our defenders had no choice but to retreat to the second line of defense in the areas of Jiading and Huangdu.

The Chinese defenders lost this battle, and the battlefield situation was urgent!

The next day, the major newspapers competed to publish a piece of news:

"Wang Geng, the commander of the Fifth Army, left the defense area without authorization and had a private meeting with his ex-wife Lu Xiaoman in the public concession, and was captured by Japanese spies, and the Japanese intelligence officer found the military map carried by Wang, thus revealing the deployment of the 19th Route Army, and as a result, the Japanese army used the information to land at Liuhe and thwarted the 19th Route Army's defense of Shanghai."

Seeing this news, Feng Chen threw the newspaper on the ground in an angry manner and scolded to himself: "It's pure fart!" These reporters are really going to gossip! ”

Just finished scolding, I saw Zhang Chong come in with a newspaper in his hand and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"It's made up by those journalists!" Feng Chen replied.

"Are you sure that Wang Geng's briefcase did not pass through the hands of the Japanese?" Zhang Chong asked.

"Sure, I followed to the patrol room at the time, and after Liu Shaokui transferred General Wang's briefcase, he gave it to me directly, and I came back immediately after I got the briefcase." Feng Chen replied.

"It seems that Wang Geng is in prison, this Lu Xiaoman is simply Wang Geng's nemesis." Zhang Chong sighed.

Feng Chen knew that Zhang Chong had a pretty good personal relationship with Wang Geng.

"Chief Zhang, I will come forward to testify to General Wang when the time comes."

"Alas! Our army has retreated from the second line of defense this time, and someone must take responsibility! Zhang Chong sighed.

"Sir, we also checked the briefcase, it was a check and a list, and there were no other valuable military secrets, besides, this briefcase was not touched by the Japanese at all." Feng Chen explained.

"After the great victory of the temple, there are many generals, especially the Guangdong generals, when they are tired on the battlefield, they often sneak to the concession to enjoy it, these situations Chairman Jiang of Nanjing has long been aware of, has been very annoyed, Wang Geng hit the muzzle of the gun this time, don't you say he is ridiculous? What's so good about that Lu Xiaoman who brought him a green hat?!"

"General Wang came to the concession, not only to see Lu Xiaoman, but also to hear another statement." Feng Chen said.

"Oh? What is the statement? Zhang Chong stared at Feng Chen and asked.

"I heard that General Wang came to the Public Concession to meet his classmate Smith at the West Point Military Academy at the US Consulate in Shanghai, and to study with Smith why he commanded the artillery aimed at the Japanese General Headquarters, but he always failed to hit the target because of a slight mistake, and his classmate Smith was the first class counselor of the US Consulate in Shanghai." Feng Chen replied.

"I'm afraid that doesn't excuse him!" Zhang Chongdao.

"In the matter of General Wang Geng, Hua Yinghao of the Anti-Japanese Death Squad also participated in the whole process, and they were the first to discover that General Wang was being followed by Takayoshi Tanaka, and he could also come forward to prove that military secrets were absolutely not leaked." Feng Chen exonerated Wang Geng.

"Even if military secrets are not leaked, during the war, as a commander, leaving the command post without authorization, this crime is not small!" Zhang Chong shook his head helplessly.
