After selecting the people, Bai Fei didn't let them be idle, but sent them all to Fu Nianzu to help, and helped rebuild the ship in the dock during the day, which can be regarded as familiarizing himself with the environment in advance; In the evening, Bai Fei personally went out to explain to them the use of various weapons on the ship, and occasionally asked Sun Kai, Zhang Wenhao and other navy veterans to tell others about the precautions of the navy.

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

During this time, something worth mentioning took place both inside and outside the island. First of all, the island, first of all, the various mineral deposits urgently needed in the arsenal, under the auspices of von Zack, were excavated in various parts of the island one after another. And the corresponding smelting facility, under the auspices of his girlfriend, is slowly being formed. In order to make up for the shortage of labor, Bai Fei directly ordered that all the thousands of Taiwanese soldiers captured a few days ago be sent to the mine to mine, which can be regarded as letting them be reformed through labor.

Immediately afterwards, Tan Shenglin's 463 Brigade was ordered to be transferred back to Guangdong due to the tense war in northern Guangdong, so it had to be withdrawn from Hainan. In this regard, Bai Fei was not easy to keep, so when Tan Shenglin left, he gave him a personal gift of 5,000 yuan of ocean, and asked him to help bring 50,000 yuan of ocean to Zhang Fakui as a thank you gift. Remembering that if Zhang Fakui hadn't sold his face and sent the 463 Brigade to the island to help him, it would have been hard to say what would have happened in Hainan. Bai Fei is not an ignorant person, since others have helped, he naturally needs to be rewarded.

As mentioned above, although the Qiongzhou Strait was basically open to the public as early as when the Japanese army was driven away from the island, due to the recent harassment of Japanese ships from time to time, the sea route from Xuwen to Haikou is still not absolutely safe. Bai Fei originally planned to persuade Tan Shenglin to leave a few days later, and then send them across the sea when his warship was transformed and had the ability to attack. However, Tan Shenglin politely declined because he was anxious about the war in northern Guangdong. In desperation, Bai Fei had no choice but to use a few freighters that had not yet been renovated to send them to the opposite shore in batches at night.

A few days after sending Tan Shenglin away, news suddenly came that after the Japanese army failed to attack Hainan Island, they turned to target many islands and reefs in the South China Sea, and soon they occupied China's Nansha Islands, and announced the news to the outside world.

After Bai Fei learned of this situation, he scolded angrily, and secretly made up his mind in his heart that after the transformation of the warship was completed, he must personally sail the ship to the sea to find out the bad luck of the small Japanese Navy ship.

However, the major renovation of the ship is not something that can be done in a day or two, so he can only endure the anger in his heart and gather without making a move.

The time entered May, and at this time, bad news came from outside the island one after another. At dawn on May 1, the main forces of the 16th and 13th Divisions of the Japanese Army and the 4th Cavalry Brigade stationed in the direction of Zhongxiang and Jingshan, with the support of aircraft and tanks, launched an attack from Zhongxiang against the 37th and 180th Divisions of the Chinese Army's Right Army.

On the same day, the Nationalist army's counterattack on Nanchang failed, and Chiang Kai-shek was furious, and ordered the commanders-in-chief of the troops participating in the Nanchang war to go to the front line to supervise the battle in person, and to conquer Nanchang before the 5th.

On the 3rd, Chongqing, the capital of China, was bombed by the Japanese army, destroying more than 1,200 houses in the urban area, killing more than 4,400 citizens and wounding more than 3,100 people, resulting in heavy losses.

On the 6th, Chen Anbao, commander of the 29th Army and division commander, was ordered to lead his troops to attack the enemy in Nanchang, and Japanese reinforcements arrived, and the battle intensified. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, a white-knuckle fight with the Japanese army was launched on the Longli Zhang side, and Chen led several officers and soldiers of his entourage to rush to supervise the battle under heavy artillery fire. Unfortunately, he was killed by several bullets. Subsequently, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the cessation of the attack on Nanchang, and the ministries returned to their original position. The laborious but thankless Nanchang counteroffensive plan has finally come to an end.

On the same day, after arriving in Shanghai from Vietnam, Wang Zhaoming sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, publicly surrendering to Japan and preparing for the establishment of Wang's puppet regime.

What needs to be explained here is that although Wang Ching-wei had fled to Vietnam at the end of 38 years and issued a series of telegrams in Vietnam in response to Japan's policy toward China, he was in an ambiguous state of rhetoric after all, so this telegram to Chiang Kai-shek can be regarded as a sign of formal surrender to the enemy.

It is worth mentioning that as early as a few months ago, the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang held an extraordinary meeting, at which a decision was made to dismiss Wang Ching-wei from public office, deprive him of his membership in the Kuomintang, mobilize the whole country to expose Wang Ching-wei, and order "strict arrest and punishment of traitors." After that, Chiang Kai-shek secretly ordered Dai Li to immediately draw up a plan of action to sanction Wang Jingwei, and asked him to send people "to Hanoi to finish off Wang Zhaoming to thank the world." ”

After receiving the order, Dai Li did not dare to underestimate it, and hurriedly contacted a large number of veteran agents to form an assassination team. The members include Yu Lexing, a special agent technical expert, Chen Gongpeng, the head of the Tianjin Station of the Military Command, Wang Luqiao, Dai Li's personal guard, Tang Yingjie, an instructor of the Chongqing martial arts training class, and 18 people, including Wei Chunfeng, Zheng Bangguo, and Chen Buyun, who are called "Eighteen Arhats" by the military commanders.

It can be said that the people who went to Hanoi to carry out the assassination mission were all the elite team of the military commander, among them, Chen Gongpeng was the famous "number one killer" in the military command, who was wise and brave, bold and careful, designed and organized the assassination of many traitors, successfully completed the mission many times, and served as the leader of the Hanoi action team; Yu Lexing can speak French, and he has convenient access to Hanoi as a French colony, and he is quite researched in operational work, shrewd and capable, and has devised a set of methods of kidnapping and assassination, which can play a role as a liaison and high-level staff in the operation; Wang Luqiao is a student of the Hangzhou special training class, who has followed Dai Li for many years, within 100 steps, with 100 shots and 100 shots, and has participated in the pursuit of Wang Yaqiao; Tang Yingjie has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and it is said that he has the skill of flying eaves and walking on walls, and is regarded as a stranger in the rivers and lakes by Dai Li.

In order to ensure the smooth completion of the mission, Dai Li also sent the weapons that had been prepared in advance to Hanoi through special channels. In mid-to-late March, Dai Li received information from various quarters that Wang Ching-wei would leave Hanoi in the near future, so on 19 March, with Chiang Kai-shek's approval, he ordered the action group and Chen Gongshu to immediately "impose severe sanctions on Wang Ching-wei without delay." Chen Gongshu then immediately took action.

However, perhaps Wang Zhaoming's fate should not be extinguished, otherwise it is difficult to explain that so many elite agents have failed several times in a row in the assassination operations carefully designed against him, which is really regrettable.
