When he learned the news that the Japanese had once again increased their troops on a large scale, Chiang Kai-shek instructed He Yingqin: "If the Japanese army attacks again and the war officially begins, the planes should also participate in the war. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

At 9 o'clock on the morning of 5 July, the 6th and 7th Flying Squadrons of the Central Air Force of the Kuomintang took off from Nanjing's Minggong Airport and rushed to Shanghai to participate in the war, including 5 bombers and 4 fighters.

As the group passed through Kunshan, a brief air battle ensued with the Japanese naval air force.

At about 11 o'clock, the fighter plane landed at Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport and was refueling and hanging bombs to prepare for an attack on the Japanese warship, when suddenly the Japanese plane attacked, and our fighter plane immediately took to the air to meet the battle.

During the battle, Huang Yuquan, the deputy captain who had just finished his marriage, died in a crash due to mechanical failure, becoming the first person of the Chinese Air Force to die in the War of Resistance against Japan.

On the same day, the Nationalist Government telegraphed the 9th Division of the Nationalist Army, which had suppressed the Communists in Jiangxi before the September 18 Incident, to Shanghai for reinforcements.

On February 6, the traditional Chinese festival - the Spring Festival, Chiang Kai-shek came from Luoyang to Pukou, Nanjing, and Zhang Zhizhong, director of education of the Central Army Military Academy, went to greet him and expressed his willingness to lead the central troops to reinforce Shanghai.

On the same day, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the 88th Division to enter Nanxiang, and the 261st Brigade of the 87th Division moved east from Nanjing to Kunshan.

On February 7, the second day of the Lunar New Year, 10,000 men of the 12th Division of the Japanese Third Fleet and the Kurume Mixed Brigade of the Army arrived in Shanghai and landed at Wusongkou.

The new commander of the Japanese army, Nomura Kichizaburo, changed the point of attack and attacked Wusong with the Kurume mixed brigade, and the marines attacked Jiangwan in an attempt to break through from the right flank of our defenders.

Our 19th Route Army was limited to its strength, and selected the line from Wusong to Hujiazhuang and connecting Miaohang, Dachang, and Pengpu as the main line of resistance, with Jiangwan and Zhabei as the advance positions.

The 61st Division of our army relied on the Wusong Fortress and the Fuzaobang water network area to engage in a fierce battle with the Japanese.

After the fierce battle began on February 7, Chiang Kai-shek, at the request of Chen Mingshu, commander-in-chief of the Beijing-Shanghai garrison, instructed He Yingqin to transfer an artillery battalion to urgently reinforce the 19th Route Army.

On the same day, two regiments of the Independent Brigade of the 88th Division, which was reorganized from the Tax Police Corps of the Ministry of Finance, urgently assembled in Hongqiao.

On the afternoon of 7 February, Xu Enzeng, chief of the Investigation Section of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang Party, and Zhang Chong, director general of the Investigation Section, were ordered to secretly come to Shanghai from Nanjing and stationed in the Shanghai Social Bureau.

Xu Enzeng and Zhang Chong had just arrived at the Shanghai Social Bureau, and they didn't bother to take a break, so they asked Director Wu Wenxiong to immediately notify Feng Chen, Fang Xiaoman, and Mo Sanqiang to come to the Social Bureau for a meeting.

When Feng Chen and the others rushed to the conference room on the third floor of the Social Bureau, Wu Wenxiong, director of the bureau, Shen Yulin, director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and Wang Bin, chief inspector of the Shanghai Garrison District and captain of the detective team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, were already seated in the conference room.

Feng Chen and the three of them had just sat down behind Wu Wenxiong, and Gu Shunzhang was followed by two people swaggering in, glanced towards the conference room, and took the two people to sit down in front of Wang Bin, the captain of the detective team, and muttered something to Wang Bin with his bow.

Feng Chen leaned slightly in front of Fang Xiaoman, and asked in a low voice, "Xiaoman, who are those two people behind Gu Shunzhang?" How come I haven't seen it? ”

Fang Xiaoman replied in a low voice: "The one who is a little fatter and has pockmarks on his face is called Ma Shaowu, who is the commissioner of the Central Party Department living in Shanghai, and the thin man is called Wang Sicheng, who is the secretary assigned by Section Chief Xu to Gu Shunzhang." ”

"Oh, Gu Shunzhang's style is not small." Feng Chen said in a low voice.

While Feng Chen and Fang Xiaoman were talking, Xu Enzeng was in front, and Zhang Chong followed closely and walked into the conference room, and the two sat down side by side at the main seat of the conference table.

After Zhang Chong sat down, he glanced at everyone, and said first: "The personnel have arrived, and now we welcome Chief Xu to give you a lecture!" ”

The crowd applauded in unison.

Xu Enzeng raised his right hand and pressed it downward, and when the applause stopped, he said: "Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, everyone should have reunited with their families and spent the festival together, but the Japanese invaders despised faith, undermined peace, and provoked wars. ”

Xu Enzeng generously slipped Jiang Gong's words and made an opening statement.

After a pause, he continued: "More than 10,000 Japanese reinforcements have arrived in Shanghai today and landed at Wusongkou, and are now fighting fiercely with our 19th Route Army; At this moment, the underground organization of the Communist Party was waiting for an opportunity to make trouble in the rear, and on the orders of the peak, he summoned all the kings to shoulder the heavy burden. Next, Director General Zhang of the Central Investigation Section will assign tasks to you. ”

Zhang Chong cleared his throat and began to assign tasks to everyone.

"In view of the recent situation in Shanghai, Feng Chen, Fang Xiaoman, and Mo Sanqiang, cadres of the Shanghai Social Bureau, are hereby ordered to be the first investigation team, responsible for collecting strategic intelligence and military intelligence on the Japanese side, and Feng Chen is specifically responsible."

"Order Gu Shunzhang, Ma Shaowu, and Wang Sicheng of the Central Investigation Department to be the second investigation team, responsible for investigating and monitoring the various activities of the Communist Party's underground organization in Shanghai, and Gu Shunzhang will be specifically responsible."

"Order Wang Bin, captain of the detective team of the Shanghai Special City Public Security Bureau, to lead all members of the detective team to be the third investigation team, responsible for fully cooperating with the actions of the other two teams."

The meeting was very short, and after it was over, Zhang Chong called Feng Chen to an office alone, and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, the things you asked me to do last time have been done, but you have to tell your friend that 20,000 US dollars should not be missing." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Chong took out an envelope and handed it to Feng Chen.

Feng Chen opened the envelope and took out a small note three inches long and one inch wide from it, with two lines of Russian written on it, Feng Chen looked at it carefully, and said with a wry smile: "Commissioner, I don't know Russian, how do I know if this note is true or false?" ”

"Ha, ha, ha, this note can never be fake, I looked at Niu Lan's writing, you give this note to your friend, he can naturally judge the authenticity." Zhang Chong laughed twice, looked at Feng Chen and replied.

"Okay, then I'll go to my friend."

"Tell that friend that you'd better send the dollars in two days, otherwise...... You get the idea! Zhang Chong said meaningfully.

After leaving the Shanghai Social Bureau, Feng Chen took a note and walked around the street in a big circle, and found that no one was following him, so he rushed to the Walsha West Restaurant on Xiafei Road.

Seeing Sorge, Feng Chen handed the envelope containing the note to Sorge and said, "Mr. Sorge, can you see if this note is useful?" ”

Sorge took the envelope, took out the note and glanced at it, and said excitedly: "The real thing, it's real!" I know Niu Lan's handwriting, Mr. Feng, thank you so much! ”

"Mr. Sorge, what is written on the note?"

"Oh? Mr. Feng doesn't know Russian? This was written by Niu Lan herself, and I was imprisoned in Nanjing Laohuqiao Prison, and everything was fine. With this thing, the Comintern could openly rescue Niu Lan and his wife. ”

"But Mr. Sorge, when Mr. Zhang Chong of the Investigation Section handed me this envelope, let me tell you that you must give him $20,000 within two days."

Sorge got up, tinkered with a small safe behind the desk for a long time, opened the safe, took out a small leather case from it, handed it to Feng Chen, and said, "Twenty thousand US dollars, a lot of money, please hand it over to Mr. Zhang Chong." ”

With a huge sum of 20,000 US dollars, Feng Chen did not dare to wander on the street, and went directly back to the Shanghai Social Bureau to hand it over to Zhang Chong in person.

Zhang Chong took the suitcase, opened it and looked at it, closed the suitcase and said with a smile: "Brother Feng is bold and shrewd, and he is worthy of a heavy responsibility!" The work of some time ago was deeply appreciated by Chief Xu Enzeng, do it well, and the future is immeasurable! ”

"Thank you for the commissioner's cultivation!"

"Brother Feng, this time I am still responsible for supervising the collection of intelligence on the Japanese army, if you need any support, please feel free to ask, equipment, personnel, etc., ready to deploy for you."

"What about Gu Shunzhang's group?"

"Gu Shunzhang's group is personally responsible for Section Chief Xu Enzeng, and no one else is allowed to interfere."

"But...... Commissioner, you know, Gu Shunzhang has been secretly spying on me and making trouble for me everywhere, what should I do if this affects my work? ”

"Don't worry about this, I also reported this matter to Section Chief Xu, Section Chief Xu said, don't say that you are not a Communist Party, even if you are really a Communist Party, it is not something that he Gu Shunzhang can manage, do your business well, don't think too much."

"Commissioner, I'm going to go to the front line of Wusongkou to see how the battle is going."

"Okay, be sure to stay safe!"
