That night, Dai Li arranged for someone to interrogate Huang Jun and Nanzao Yunzi overnight. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Huang Jun confessed to being a traitor to himself.

The task was completed, and the next morning, Feng Chen took Fang Xiaoman and Xu Jian to Dai Li's office to bid farewell to Dai Li, and prepared to rush back to Shanghai.

"Major General Feng, it's not simple, on behalf of the Second Division of the Military Command Bureau, I would like to commend your Shanghai Intelligence Group, if you have any needs, please feel free to bring it up." Dai Li looked excited.

"Chief Dai, our personnel are a little too small, I have an idea, in view of the inextricable battle of Songhu, in order to better carry out intelligence work and support the national army on the frontal battlefield, our intelligence group wants to form an action team." Feng Chen made a request to Dai Li.

"I agree, if you have the right candidate, you can recruit your intelligence team, report to the headquarters for the record, and after a while, I will send you a few more competent personnel." Dai Li gave Feng Chen a lot of face.

"Chief Dai, there is one more thing that must be reported to you." Feng Chen thought that his identity in the Japanese cherry blossom festival must be told to Dai Li.

"Say anything." Dai Lian nodded.

"A few days ago, the consul general of the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, Ryuichi Hiraoka, approached me, and he wanted me to come forward to set up a Japanese translation agency. Feng Chen reported carefully.

"I agree, this will be more conducive to you to conceal your identity, and once Shanghai falls in the future, it will also be conducive to you lurking in Shanghai, and I will record it for you at the headquarters." Dai Li agreed without hesitation, and the stone that Feng Chen was pressing in his heart finally fell.

"Thank you, Sir Dai, then we'll rush back to Shanghai today." After the matter was discussed, Feng Chen was ready to leave.

"Slow, there's a special mission."

Dai Li shouted at Feng Chen.

"In order to support the national army in the Battle of Songhu, our Military Command Bureau has decided that your intelligence group will come forward and try to blow up the ammunition depot of the Japanese marines in Hongkou." Dai Li's assignment was a very difficult task.

"Chief Dai, before the war, I went to this ammunition depot on August 11, the ammunition depot is located in the northwest corner of Hongkou Park, it was originally the warehouse of the Japanese merchant Dahua towel factory, it is heavily guarded, and it may be very difficult to blow it up."

Feng Chen did not agree, nor did he refuse.

"Hehe, if it's easy to blow it up, I won't give you this task, you know, your Shanghai intelligence group is a sharp knife in the Second Division of our Military Command Bureau, you have to insert it into the heart of the Japanese criminal!" Dai Li encouraged Feng Chen.

"Resolutely complete the task!" Feng Chen stubbornly agreed.

On the way back to Shanghai, Xu Jian drove the car, Feng Chen sat in the passenger seat, Fang Xiaoman sat in the back, and planes roared overhead from time to time.

Along the way, a steady stream of national troops marched towards Shanghai.

Since the start of the war on August 13, Zhang Zhizhong's Ninth Group Army, after several days of hard fighting, the 87th Division occupied Hujiang University, and the 88th Division occupied Wuzhou Cemetery, Baoshan Bridge, and Bazi Bridge.

Beginning on the 14th, the 9th Group began to launch a general attack on the Japanese troops in the city, and the 87th Division fought fiercely for 10 hours, once breaking through the Japanese army's more positions and entering the Japanese Navy Club.

The Japanese dispatched armored vehicles to contain the offensive of the Chinese army.

On the 15th, Japan officially announced the formation of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, with Senior General Matsui Ishine as the commander, leading two divisions to Shanghai for reinforcements, further expanding the war of aggression against China.

After the Japanese reinforcements landed in the rear of the Chinese army, the Chinese were no longer able to destroy the Japanese marines.

The Chinese army high command headed by Lao Chiang considered that it would be more convenient to fight in Shanghai than in the far northern Great Plains, and that it could avoid the Japanese army, which had superior mobility.

At the same time, there are foreign concessions in the Shanghai area, and after the war expands, it is very likely that the British, French, and American forces will intervene, and it is possible to win a glorious peace through the mediation of these countries, and then thwart the Japanese army's ambitions in North China, which is extremely advantageous to the relatively weak China.

On the 16th, the Japanese army retreated to Jiangwan, with the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters as the central stronghold, and the Chinese and Japanese sides continued to invest troops in Shanghai

On the 18th, the 87th Division broke through the area of Yuezhou Road in the Yangshupu Concession, and Zhang Zhizhong decided to take this direction as the main attack and assaulted at the Huishan Wharf on the bank of the Huangpu River, in an attempt to cut off the Japanese defense line in one fell swoop.

At this time, the third German Division, the 36th Division, arrived at the front line of the Songhu battlefield and was deployed in this direction overnight, preparing to launch an assault on Huishan Wharf.

After the 36th Division was quickly engaged in battle, it attacked the Huishan Pier under the cover of combat vehicles, and at the same time, the Air Force again dispatched to cooperate and bomb Japanese targets on the ground and on the Huangpu River.

However, due to the inferior equipment and insufficient firepower of the national army, they were at a loss in the face of the Japanese reinforced concrete fortifications.

At 1 a.m. on 20 August, the 51st Division of the National Revolutionary Army received a telegram from the Military Commission ordering it to enter Shanghai to join the war, and within four hours it assembled its headquarters and drove from the Baoji Railway Station to Songhu to participate in the Shanghai operation.

From the morning of August 20 to August 22, the attacks of Song Xilian's 36th Division, Wang Jingjiu's 87th Division, Sun Yuanliang's 88th Division, and Xia Chuzhong's 98th Division were all blocked, with heavy casualties.

The battle situation reached a stalemate, and the Japanese army retreated to the stronghold and stubbornly resisted and waited for reinforcements.

At dawn on August 23, the reinforcement vanguard of two divisions led by General Matsui Ishine of the Japanese Army, under the cover of naval and air force firepower, landed in Shishilin, Chuanshakou, Zhanghuabang and other areas.

When Lao Chiang heard the news, he appointed Chen Cheng, vice minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, as commander-in-chief of the 15th Group Army, and commanded the 98th and 11th Divisions, as well as the 67th and 14th Divisions that had just arrived in Jiading, to quickly go to various places to resist the enemy's landing.

At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek made personnel adjustments to the Third Theater, and Feng Yuxiang went to the newly established Sixth Theater to serve as commander, and Chiang Kai-shek himself concurrently held the post of commander of the Third Theater.

After both China and Japan increased their troops, the fierce fighting between the two sides became more intense.

From August 23, the 3rd and 11th divisions of the Japanese army, under the cover of intensive naval artillery fire, landed at Wusongkou Railway Wharf, Shishilin, and Chuanshakou, and attacked Baoshan, Yuepu, Luodian, Fuzaobang and other Chinese positions.

Zhang Zhizhong sent Wang Jingjiu as the commander of the former enemy in Songhu to command the troops under the jurisdiction of the 9th Group Army to resist the landing of the Japanese army.

At the same time, the newly formed 15th Army, under the command of Luo Zhuoying, launched a counterattack against the enemy who landed at Baoshan and Chuanshakou, and the 98th Division repelled the Japanese army that captured Lion Forest on August 24, annihilating thousands of enemies.

The 11th Division of the Nationalist Army braved the heavy bombardment of Japanese planes to recapture Luodian; Unwilling to be defeated, the Japanese army mobilized tanks, planes and heavy artillery to counterattack, and launched a tug-of-war around Luodian, and the defenders' positions changed hands several times.

On the 29th, Luodian fell into the hands of the Japanese army again, and Huang Wei, who had just returned from Germany and went to the front, led the 67th Division to break through, but was immediately repulsed.

At dawn on August 31, the Japanese army attacked Wusong with more than 30 planes and naval guns, and forced the landing, and the other part of the Japanese army landed at the ferry terminal.

A regiment of the 61st Division of the Chinese defending Wusongkou suffered more than half of the casualties and did not retreat, but the Wusong Fort was still held by the Shanghai Security Corps.

Zhang Zhizhong then transferred Liu Xing's 6th Division to Yanghang and Wusong to expel the enemy who had landed, and on the night of the 31st, the division attacked and advanced to Wusong, and encountered the enemy in the area north of Yanghang, and a fierce battle ensued.

The 61st Division was reduced to a regiment due to heavy losses, the division commander Yang Bufei was dismissed, and the Ministry of Military Affairs ordered the 2nd Division to supplement the brigade to reorganize the division.

After the reorganization, the 61st Division had two brigades, Zhong Song as the division commander, Yang Wenjin as the commander of the 181st Brigade, and Deng Zhongmei as the commander of the 183rd Brigade.

Subsequently, the 61st Division was ordered to block the Japanese army along the right bank of Fuzaobang on the line of Tangjiazhai and Chenjiaxing, and fought back and forth with the 9th Division of the Japanese Army.

China and Japan are committing more and more troops, and the war has become a stalemate.

"What time is it today?" The car jolted, and Feng Chen, who was napping, woke up and asked.

"Number 31." Xu Jian, who was driving the car, replied.

"It seems that the Battle of Songhu will continue, you look at this steady stream of troops rushing to Shanghai, wearing all kinds of clothing, indicating that they are from different places." Feng Chen pointed to the troops marching outside the car and said.

"Team leader, we still have to discuss what method to take to blow up the Japanese army's ammunition depot." Fang Xiaoman, who was sitting in the back, proposed.
