Matsushima Trading Company, which is in the first place of the public concession, is a grand trading company. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info President Matsushima was stunned by the seventh generation of the Matsushima family's heirs who were in business for twenty generations, fifteen years ago before the coming-of-age ceremony was ostracized by the family brothers, and came to China alone in a rage to pan for gold, and now he has become the richest person in the entire Matsushima family, because he has been bullied by his six brothers since he was a child and ridiculed by the family's subordinates, Matsushima Hyakuo, who has a stubborn personality but is extremely patient, is full of unwilling selfishness and resentment, and has developed a cunning and cunning character for many years. However, with a sincere smile and polite conversation, he was deeply liked and trusted by the Japanese concession authorities, and for many years not only dumped a large number of commodities on the Japanese island into China, but also obtained the franchise right to supply various materials to various Japanese military organs stationed in Shanghai all year round. Shops in Songdao are all over the river, and even Hankou, Shashi, Chongqing and other places have his branches.

Due to the tense situation, the lights in the Hongkou Dojo were no longer lit, and the more than 300 samurai from all over Japan in the dojo all put on military uniforms, took up arms, and killed more than a dozen people in several battles.

Through the window of the villa, Matsushima glanced at the black dojo sign diagonally opposite, and slightly opened the placket of the kimono with the words "Matsushima Maru" printed on it, so that the front chest that was beginning to become obese was a little cooler, and he took a drink from the wine glass. Without looking at his wife, who knelt respectfully on the side of the low table to serve him, as if speaking to herself:

"Or is Chinese wine cooler and more delicious than Japanese sake, it seems that the price will be more expensive in the future, and when the trade routes are cut off in a war, the logistics are not passable, and the price will naturally come up, Sachiko, did you hear what I said?"

Sachiko buried her head lower: "Hey! Sachiko didn't pay attention for a while, Sachiko was thinking that after the army requisitioned 60 of our able-bodied clerks, and then requisitioned seven trucks of our trading company, for a few days, the people complained that they were working hard, and the turnover had doubled."

"Yaga, shut up!"

Matsushima slapped the table angrily: "You are a woman's opinion!" It's a woman's opinion! Sixty young people from our hometown of Shikoku were looked up to by the 6th Army of the Imperial Japanese Empire, and that was their honor, the honor of our trading company, and the honor of our Songwu family! As long as Shanghai is successfully occupied, the next step will be to occupy Nanjing. By occupying Suzhou and Hangzhou, occupying the populous and very wealthy emerging city of Lao Nanchang, and occupying all the important merchants along the Yangtze River, our commodities will be unimpeded throughout China, and our turnover will increase thousands of times.

There is a Chinese proverb that says: If people have no long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries! You, if you have time, read more Chinese books, after coming to China for twelve years, children have given birth to four" You can't even read the Chinese version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I'm really ashamed of you. ”

"However, if you have to take care of your future interests, you can't relax your business now! Trading companies are struggling these days, especially in recent times, due to a severe shortage of manpower, and I have had to show my face. Now even the remaining two big trucks can only hire Chinese clerks to drive them" I can't believe the Chinese clerk named Yang Jinbiao, there have been rumors in the store that this man takes the high salary we give and goes to the ** every time, and every time he looks at us Japanese women, he doesn't look at his face, only his breasts, lower body and thighs. The ladies in the neighborhood were disgusted with him and fired him, okay? ”

Sachiko was quite annoyed and made a request, and when she saw that the wine glass in front of her husband was empty, she hurriedly kneeled forward and poured the wine diligently.

Matsushima was not impressed. Raise your head and laugh: "Man, this is how it should be, otherwise there will be no vitality and leakage." There are men who look at your breasts, lower body, and thighs. Prove that your body has a fatal attraction to the opposite sex, you women are duplicitous, and if you say you're unhappy, are you really unhappy in your heart? Haha, I'm really upset, okay. Don't frown, when the next batch of clerks arrives from Japan, I will send this Yang Jinbiao to Shi "Jun of the military department to serve, Ishikawa-kun also takes a fancy to this person, we just can't keep it if we want to!"

You don't know, Yang Jinbiao's other identity is a thug of the Shanghai Tang Hui Gang.

This emblem is complex. It is not only against the Nanjing government, but also against our great Japanese empire, and its gang leader Wang Qingyu (Wang Yalou) has plotted the assassination of Chiang, Song, and Wang De for many years, and is famous all over the world; since last year, after 918, he began to support the anti-Japanese resistance in a high-profile manner, and supported Ma Zhanshan to resist our army's occupation of Manchuria, and sent his apprentice Sheng Yu to the northeast to organize the anti-Japanese volunteers, which can be described as a great crime. However, many people in the Hui Gang have a good impression of us. Yang Jinbiao was named and warned for complaining. In a fit of rage, he came to work in my shop. Yang Jinbiao is tall and handsome, and his ability is also good, although he is illiterate, he can speak Japanese and a little English. What is rare is that he is very ruthless to his Chinese compatriots and has a sense of identification with our great Japanese empire. If you have a good hunting dog, you can become a good hound for our Imperial Japanese Army! ”

"I see," Sachiko understood. ”

Sachiko lowered her head again and bowed deeply

Matsushima nodded in satisfaction. Picking up the wine glass, he suddenly remembered something, and put it down again: "Is the batch of canned fish sent to the military operation completed?" ”

"Soon, I heard that the logistics director Xiaolujun said that it will be shipped tonight at the latest, and the military logistics officer will deliver all the money to the store tomorrow afternoon." Lianzi replied with a smile.

Matsushima laughed with satisfaction. Touching his chin and nodding repeatedly: "Yo Xi!" The military and our Matsushima trading company are really close to each other, hehe! Come on, Sachiko, come to me, strip naked, I'll touch and see, you look lazy lately, are you in your stomach again

At eleven o'clock in the evening, a fully loaded truck slowly drove out of the No. 17 warehouse of the wharf, turned onto the highway along the river, and gradually added. Driving to the Japanese concession, when entering the first intersection of the city, a rickshaw suddenly rushed out of the street on the right, the truck braked urgently, there was a piercing sound, and the rickshaw driver was almost frightened by the driver of the rickshaw who hit it and hurriedly turned around, who knew that because it was too sudden, the rickshaw rolled over in the middle of the road, and the customer in the suit and leather shoes sitting on the car fell down in the middle of the wet road with the coachman, lying on it struggling and moaning, but could not get up, it seemed that the fall was not light.

Yang Jinbiao, who was tall and wearing a black silk short suit, was furious, pulled the car door and jumped out of the car, approaching the driver is a beating, the passenger in a suit and leather shoes got up and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him, the Japanese soldier who was sitting in the passenger seat and escorted the car rushed out of the car in annoyance, picked up his rifle and couldn't help but give the young man who persuaded him a rifle butt, beat the young man to "wow" and screamed, threw himself to the ground, hugged the injured shoulder and had tears on his face, and the unlucky driver who was hit by the front of the car was beaten into a ball. was lifted high by the powerful Yang Jinbiao and thrown out hard. The young man screamed miserably, and was crushed under the coachman who had passed out with blood on his face, shaking his hands and feet, crying and begging for mercy, but he couldn't get up.

The Japanese soldiers, who were still full of "Baga", enjoyed watching it, gave Yang Jinbiao a thumbs up, and praised loudly in Japanese: "Yang Jun, very good, your martial arts are first-class, and your loyalty to our imperial army is even more commendable!" Well played, clean and neat, hehe" "Oda-kun has won the prize. It is an honor for me Yang Jinbiao to be able to serve the Imperial Japanese Army. Let's go back, this is the last truckload of goods, to the barracks to unload the goods, it is estimated that it is late at night, Oda-kun is tired for most of the day, it is time to take a good rest, how about I invite a guest to have a drink? ”

Yang Jinbiao respectfully smiled and raised his hand to make a gesture of please, and soon climbed into the cab with the satisfied Japanese soldiers to start the car. Yang Jinbiao, who was disgusted, was not satisfied, increased the accelerator and turned the steering wheel, and suddenly crashed into the rickshaw that fell on the road, and the rickshaw flew out of more than ten meters with a "pop" sound, and smashed on the huge plane tree on the sidewalk opposite.

The car went away, and two agile figures suddenly rushed out of the dark part of the street with few pedestrians, and the two of them vigorously helped up the young man and the coachman on the ground, and asked anxiously.

The driver sat up and wiped the blood from his face with his sleeve, glanced in the direction where the truck had passed, and let out a "puff". Turning to the young man who was helping him up, he asked in a low voice, "On the ground, is the explosives loaded?" ”

"Team leader, please rest assured that the 30 kilograms of explosives can be stuffed into the place between the fuel tank and the inside of the girder, and it will be very stable without reinforcement. Thanks to the "wings, the drawings and information provided by the eldest brother are exactly the same!" The demoman, disguised as a coolie, replied in a low voice.

"*** Wang Shuangxiao pressed Lao Tzu even if he didn't care, his elbow was just against Lao Tzu's urine, and Lao Tzu struggled desperately. You *** just don't move, alas, the colonel quartermaster Zhang Yang, who was already dirty in a suit, covered his lower body, squatted in a puddle and grinned.

When the brothers saw this, they wanted to laugh, but they did not dare to laugh. Leng Jiang, the leader of the detachment, raised his flamboyance and persuaded in a low voice: "Don't let the chief come, the chief wants to come." There is no way for subordinates! Let's go, don't delay, the car is turning, let's rush back for a cup of tea, I guess we'll hear the sound.

Twelve fifteen. More than 30 Japanese officers and soldiers lined up in two teams to unload boxes of canned fish from the Japanese mainland from the truck compartment in a relay manner, and the driver, Yang Jinbiao, was smoking and chatting with Lu, the director of the trading company who came to sign, and the captain quartermaster. In a row of barracks more than 20 meters south of the warehouse, there is still a faint dim light, and doctors and nurses in white coats come and go from time to time. The painful groans of more than 200 wounded were faintly heard, and there were sentries with loaded guns standing guard at the north and south exits.

After chatting for a few words, Xiaolu respectfully asked: "Yamazaki-kun, I heard that in this engagement, Dubin Shaozo of the Suono Brigade was unfortunately seriously injured?"

"yes, I didn't expect that. The squadron dared to resist so stubbornly, alas! and Murakami Shaoza was also injured, a refracted stray bullet jumped up from the railroad tracks, hit him in the neck impartially, and finally came back to life after more than ten hours of rescue, it's not easy! The quartermaster looked at the wounded barracks and shook his head slightly.

"It is necessary to let the Chinese have blood debts" I wish your army an early capture of Shanghai

"Boom"

As soon as Yang Jinbiao's flattering voice fell, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly sounded, and the moment the flames came out, the fragments torn by the small entire cargo truck shot out, and the dazzling pillars of light and the thick smoke of gunpowder rose into the sky, and Yang Jinbiao, Xiaolu, the quartermaster, and more than 30 unloading Japanese soldiers, together with the fragments of the truck and the entire warehouse, were wiped out in a blink of an eye.

Thirty kilograms of high explosives combined with the help of gasoline from the fuel tank, a huge shock wave destroyed all buildings within a radius of fifty meters. Fragments of steel and limbs were thrown out 100 meters away, the double walls of the barracks were toppled like papier-mâché, the wide warehouse and the wounded barracks 20 meters away almost completely disappeared, the raging flames flew in all directions, igniting many surrounding houses, most of the glass windows within 200 meters were instantly shattered, and countless fragments of masonry and broken wood were sprinkled like torrential rain, making bursts of "crackling" sounds. After all the loud noises in the moment when the sky shook and the earth shook, the alarm sounded violently, soaring into the sky, the fire in the Japanese overseas Chinese area was blazing, the wailing and crying sounded loudly, and a few messy gunshots added to the tense and fearful atmosphere.

Immediately sirens sounded and whistles sounded in the public concession and the French concession, the streets were filled with frightened people, running soldiers and policemen, fire trucks and liaison vehicles roared, the telephones of embassies and consulates of various countries rang in one after another, all the ships on the Huangpu River turned on their lights, and the entire city of Shanghai was shrouded in endless terror.

The British consul awoke from his slumber and stood in front of the broken window in a panic, facing the bitter cold wind. Looking nervously in the direction of Hongkou, the footsteps in the U.S. Consulate were mixed, the shouts were endless, and the chaotic voices were asking in a loud voice.

In the Du Mansion, Du Yuesheng, who was wearing an overcoat, walked into the front hall quickly, stretching out her hand to refuse the tea handed by the next person. anxiously asked his beloved disciples Wan Molin and Xin Yi: "What's the matter?" What the hell is going on? ”

"There was an unprecedentedly violent explosion in the Japanese concession, there were no other signs of fighting, and after a few shots, all the voices shouted for help, and it is estimated that the Japanese were unlucky." Wan Molin replied with some confusion.

Du Yuesheng pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked: "This loud noise is too powerful, my bed has shook, such a powerful explosion, I don't know if it is malicious revenge?" ”

Xin Yi and Wan Molin glanced at each other, thought about taking half a step forward, and said in a low voice: "No, although the Nineteenth Route Army was blown up and the headquarters was destroyed, they would not have thought of such an extreme means of retaliation, this method is more like the handiwork of our Jianghu Gang, could it be Wang Jiuguang (Wang Yalou) of the Hui Gang?" It is not surprising that he was jealous and hateful, and hated the Japanese. Otherwise, the Japanese were careless in transporting arms and were so tired that they would suffer. ”

"Hmm. These are all possible" Du Yuesheng nodded in a deep voice, suddenly remembered something, and raised his head to ask Xin Yi: "Didn't Commander An secretly arrive at the front line?" Have you been in contact with them in the past two days? ”

"Nope. Since receiving the five new cars as a gift from Commander An's entrusted office three days ago, Tu'er has not had any contact with them. ”

Xin Yi looked calm. The words were peaceful, and the whole person was the same as usual, and there was no difference in the slightest

Du Yuesheng sighed: "Alas, I'm afraid the world is going to be chaotic, inform the people below, give me some restraint during this time, stay at home honestly, don't go out to make trouble." ”

"Yes!"

Wan Molin and Pingyi quietly retreated, Du Yuesheng walked out of the balcony on the second floor, looked at the Japanese concession with the fire and smoke, and couldn't help shaking his head.

In the Yi Garden, not far from the Du Mansion, nine brothers including Yang Fei, Zhang Yang, and Liu Hao sat together and toasted together.

Yang Fei picked up the wine, stood up and faced Chen Shishi: "Lieutenant Chen, thank you, you let my An Jiajun and the brothers of the 19th Route Army out of a bad breath. ”

Chen Shi hurriedly stood up: "No, no! As a soldier, my subordinates are deeply honored to be selected into the special operations team, "Master, thank you, Master, I salute Master!" ”

The short colonel instructor Han Xianzhi laughed: "Sit down, what's polite?" Chief Yang, please take a seat, "If you really want to thank me, don't thank me Han, but thank Chief Yang for his careful and complete plan." Thank you Commander for giving the brothers this courage and blood, and thank you for our strong backing to all the brothers of the An Jiajun! ”

"Well said! Old Han. Drink! ”

"Drink!"

The brothers raised their glasses and drank bitterly, and Zhang Yang, who had changed into a clean nightgown, leaned back lazily: "I said Old Han, when did you become polite when you spoke?"

Han Xianzhi put down the cup and laughed at himself: "Staying with a group of instructors all day long, the students in the last year are more educated and cultivated than the original students, so I can't always scold and scold, to paraphrase the commander, it's time to keep pace with the times, hehe."

Everyone burst into laughter, and Zhang Yang suddenly asked, "What do you say the commander is doing now?" ”

"Watch the fireworks!" Liu Hao smiled slightly after speaking.

After all the brothers were stunned for a moment, they laughed loudly again, and after laughing, Xiao Liu Hao and the other brothers said solemnly: "I suggest that all groups be ordered to return, except for the third group, all return to the newspaper printing house and the office to work as temporary workers, the Japanese are likely to launch a crazy retaliation from tomorrow, and we must pay attention to concealment." In addition, it is convenient to convey actions when they are concentrated. I'm afraid the next step is more

Yang Fei nodded: "Agreed, each group will execute!" ”

"Yes!"

"Hey, what am I doing?" Zhang Yang asked.

Liu Hao replied kindly: "You will go back to your house as soon as it is dawn." Go back and spread rumors, understand? This is also a very heavy task, and you must be the son of a celebrity in Shanghai. ”

Zhang Yang scolded a little discouraged: "***, Lao Tzu, a colonel quartermaster, actually went to do the business of spreading rumors and confusion

"Any comments? Okay, I'll ask the commander for instructions to let you go back. Yang Fei said seriously.

"No, no! No! I'm willing to do it, right? It's been so long since I've been away from home, and I haven't been home yet, so I'll talk about it. I have to meet the girl I was photographed at home! You guys all have wives and children. Lao Tzu can't be too far behind, isn't he?"
