After the Japanese reinforcements landed in Shanghai, the battlefield situation began to stalemate on September 2, and the Chinese army had lost the opportunity to destroy the Japanese marines. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Similarly, the arrogant Japanese army did not achieve the goal of quickly destroying the Chinese army and getting the Nationalist government to surrender.

However, the superiority of the Japanese army in equipment and technology has already tilted the balance of war, and the goal of the Japanese army to completely annihilate China's elite troops is about to be achieved.

According to the situation on the battlefield, Song Ziwen, minister of finance of the Nationalist Government, proposed a method of mediation in accordance with the "Nine-Power Pact" to hold the Japanese government hostage and agree to armistice and peace talks.

The so-called "Nine-Power Pact" refers to the "Treaty of the Nine Powers on the Principles and Policies Applicable to the Incident in China," signed by the United States, Britain, France, Japan, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal, and the Beiyang Military Government of China at the Washington Conference on February 6, 1922.

The main content of the Nine-Nation Convention is that, in accordance with the principle of "China's open door", all signatories enjoy equal opportunities to trade and set up businesses in China.

Soong Ziwen proposed that the Nationalist Government should use the "Nine-Power Pact" to invite the European and American powers to mediate, interfere, and sanction the Japanese Government.

Although, diplomatically, because of the China issue, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has forcefully withdrawn from the League of Nations, which has attracted the attention of the world, but in terms of military and economic strength, Japan is far from being ready to confront the whole world.

If the signatories of the "Nine-Power Pact" intervene in the Sino-Japanese war, the Japanese Government will indeed be in a passive position for a while and will have no choice but to take countermeasures.

It was in this context that Minoru Kusumoto came on the scene.

As Dai Li's analysis, there are three main tasks for Minoru Kusumoto to come to Shanghai:

1. It is to quickly steal the deployment of the Chinese high command to fight against Japan.

2. It was Song Ziwen, the core figure who was waiting for an opportunity to assassinate and proposed to use the "Nine-Power Pact" method to resolve the Sino-Japanese dispute and presided over the mobilization of diplomatic mediation.

3. It was to secretly carry out the "fishing plan" among the units of the national army fighting in Songhu, bribe and win over high-ranking officials of the national army on the battlefield in Songhu, and give up resistance.

Buying off the Chinese side's vacillating personnel, knowing the benefits and disadvantages, and giving them wealth is the most common, direct, and effective method used by the Japanese.

This is how Minori Kusumoto has bought countless Chinese who have betrayed their ancestors in northern China, and this time he came to Shanghai to collect information about people who could be used by him through the eyeliner that was ambushed everywhere.

Minoru Kusumoto never buys ordinary small people, he buys people who directly hold power or have direct access to core secrets.

Before coming to Shanghai, someone had already entered Minoru Kusumoto's sight, and this person was his classmate at the Japanese Army University, Yang Zhenhua, chief of staff of the 88th Division of the National Revolutionary Army.

Why did Minoru Kusumoto target Yang Zhenhua?

This is because when Yang Zhenhua and Minoru Nanmoto were classmates, the relationship between the two was really good.

What's more, Yang Zhenhua used to be the chief of staff of the 87th Division, the best equipped and most advanced German armor division known as Lao Jiang's Imperial Forest Army, and now he is the chief of staff of the 88th Division, the elite main division on the Songhu battlefield.

In the ongoing Songhu War, the Kuomintang's elite German 87th and 88th Divisions were deployed north of Yangshupu and Hongkou in Shanghai, and were responsible for the main force of frontal combat.

These two elite German armourers dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army and caused great casualties to the Japanese army.

Yang Zhenhua's ability to serve as chief of staff in such an army shows the importance of this person, and it can also be expected that he has connections in military and even political circles.

How would Minoru Kusumoto give up this tempting big fish?

Shanghai is such a strange city, here, the corpses of the two armies are all over the field, the guns are pouring down like a torrential rain, and the soldiers of both China and Japan have already killed the red eyes.

In the concession, however, the hostile personnel of the two countries were able to drink and enjoy wine and food.

Sure enough, after arriving in Shanghai, Minoru Kusumoto threw out the bait, and after tentatively contacting his old classmate, Yang Zhenhua took off the mask of shame and agreed to Minoru Kusumoto's conditions, and at the same time offered a high price.

A day later, Yang Zhenhua told Kusumoto that there was a major general of the Nanjing Military Commission, Gao Shen, who had a military defense plan for the entire Beijing-Shanghai line.

At the same time, Yang Zhenhua provided a message to Minoru Kusumoto, a major general who was very pessimistic about the current situation, so he wanted to use the information in his hand in exchange for a huge amount of money that had fled overseas.

Hearing that there was such a good thing, Minoru Kusumoto was overjoyed.

Minoru Kusumoto agreed, as long as the information is accurate, money is not a problem at all.

……

A day ago, when Yang Zhenhua had secret contact with Nan Ben Shilong for the first time, he was already targeted by his two subordinates, Feng Wu and Liu Geqing of the pistol company of the first battalion of the 524th Regiment.

The information soon reached Feng Chen's hands, and Feng Chen felt that the matter was serious, so he immediately sent a telegram and reported the matter to Dai Li in Nanjing.

When Dai Li received the telegram, Yang Zhenhua was talking with him in secret.

"Chief of Staff Yang, look at this telegram." Dai Li handed the telegram in his hand to Yang Zhenhua.

"Yang Zhenhua, chief of staff of our 88th Division, had a secret conversation with Japanese spy Minoru Kusumoto in the French Concession last night, and the specific content of the conversation is unknown. Sea snake. ”

After browsing the content of the telegram, Yang Zhenhua's forehead began to have beads of sweat the size of beans, but he was a little glad in his heart, thanks to the fact that he found Dai Li in time to report, and did not fall for the old Japanese classmate.

"Director Dai, Zhenhua's loyalty to the party and the state can be seen by the sun and the moon!" Yang Zhenhua took out the handkerchief on his body, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and said.

"Chief of Staff Yang, I know that you are a loyal and brave man of the party-state, and Minoru Kusumoto wants to buy you? He also underestimated our Chief of Staff Yang! Dai Lian wore a high hat for Yang Zhenhua.

"Director Dai, what do you think I should do?" Yang Zhenhua asked.

"Whatever is planned!" Dai Li said.

"Will it be calculated?" Yang Zhenhua was a little puzzled.

"Yes, you have a golden cicada shell, and recommend someone to Minoru Kusumoto to contact him." Dai Li said.

"Who do you recommend?" Yang Zhenhua asked.

"Colonel Wen Qiang, Colonel of the Special Service Department of the Military Commission, Shanghai Office." Dai replied word for word.

"Wen Qiang?" Yang Zhenhua looked at Dai Li and asked.

"However, when Chief of Staff Yang recommended him to Minori Kusumoto, he said that this person was Li Wenfan, a senior staff officer of the Military Commission, and I would add Li Wenfan's name to the roster of incumbents of the Military Commission."

Dai Li told Yang Zhenhua in detail about Wen Qiang's plan to pretend to be Li Wenfan, a major general of the Military Commission, and he wanted Wen Qiang to contact Minoru Kusumoto head-on.

"Director Dai, what can I do?" Yang Zhenhua asked.

"As long as you pull the line and build a good bridge, it is a great credit, and Wen Qiang has come forward in other things." Dai Li said.

"Director Dai, who is the sea snake?" Yang Zhenhua remembered the telegram just now, and suddenly asked a question that should not be asked.

"Haha, Chief of Staff Yang, don't worry, I know your loyalty to the party-state, rest assured, my people have never spied on you, the sea snake may have just discovered you when he was spying on Minoru Kusumoto."

Dai Li laughed twice, cleverly avoiding Yang Zhenhua's question.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, Director Dai, it's a bit reckless." Yang Zhenhua smiled awkwardly.

"It's okay, Chief of Staff Yang, I will telegraph the sea snake, I must ensure the personal safety of Chief of Staff Yang in secret, Nanmoto Shilong's poisonous snake is very vicious!"

Dai Li's pun and words exerted invisible pressure on Yang Zhenhua, so that Yang Zhenhua would not have two hearts in this double reed play.

"Okay, Director Dai, I will listen to your arrangements after listening to everything, when do you see when I will introduce Wen Qiang, no, no, it should be General Li Wenfan, go to see that Nanben Shilong?"

Yang Zhenhua wanted to leave Dai Li's place as soon as possible and be with Dai Li, he always had a feeling of depression and depression, and he felt uncomfortable all over his body.

"I'll arrange it right away, and you will get in touch with Minoru Kusumoto when you go back, the sooner the better." Dai replied slowly.

"Okay, Director Dai, goodbye!"

Leaving Dai Li's residence, Yang Zhenhua's body was still sweating, this Dai Li was too insidious, fortunately, Lao Tzu didn't want to betray his ancestors and be a traitor.
