readx; Chen JG and his entourage stayed in the famous Jialing Hotel, with the green mountains behind and the surging Jialing River in front, the environment is quite beautiful, but the guard is very strict. He felt depressed and uncomfortable www.biquge.info surrounded the hotel by armed police and plainclothes agents.

The magnificent buildings in Jialing New Village are all private residences of big officials; Even the high-end and luxurious Jialing Hotel was actually opened by Kong Xiangxi, who had served as the finance minister and the premier for a long time. All of this greatly shocked Chen JG.

For Chen JG, a highly respected overseas Chinese leader, the Chinese side also respects and attaches great importance to it. Dong Biwu, Lin Boqu, Ye Jianying, etc., who are in charge of Chongqing, specially visited Chen Lao and presented three sheepskin jackets produced in northern Shaanxi. They invited Chen JG to Hongyan Village, Hualongqiao to participate in the welcome tea party held by the Chongqing office, and Chen readily agreed. After contacting the person in charge of China and G, Chen JG felt particularly cordial admiration in his heart, so he decided to visit Yan'an.

As for Chen JG's decision to visit Yan'an, Chairman Jiang was of course unwilling, but he could not forcibly stop it, so as not to offend the "God of Wealth." Therefore, he gave a banquet to Mr. Chen JG, and after the stop was ineffective, he thought of a tactful way, that is, to first invite Mr. Chen JG to visit the model area of the Anti-Japanese War behind the enemy line - the Shandong-Henan-Anhui Border Area, which is probably the only anti-Japanese base area behind the enemy line that the government can handle.

In his mind, "the Nationalist Government of China is the only government trusted by 470 million compatriots inside and outside China, and the proposition of the Nationalist Government is the proposition of the whole Chinese people." All the donations raised in Nanyang were also handed over to the national government. Therefore, Mr. Chen JG agreed to Chairman Chiang's request, or suggestion.

To reverse Mr. Chen JG's bad opinion of the national government and offset the possible influence of China and G, Chairman Chiang still has high hopes for Yang Tianfeng. After all, he understands the situation in the Shandong-Henan-Anhui border area, and it is indeed very similar to that of the rear. Now, he is still somewhat glad that he has not interfered too much in the political and military affairs of the border areas.

When Chen Bui heard that Chairman Jiang had already made arrangements, he couldn't help but nod his head and say yes, "Yang Tianfeng is thoughtful, and with the reminder of the chairman, it will definitely satisfy Chen JG." ”

"Thoughtful, indeed." While appreciating Yang Tianfeng, Chairman Jiang also had a heart of three points of precaution, but he never did it clearly, "He did not immediately assume the post of commander of the group army, because he was worried that the appointment of senior officers by the national government would affect his control over the army, right?" Well, that's definitely what I thought. Therefore, the government can pay the military according to the actual number of people, and does not force him to take office. After all, the number of the New Seventh Army was not faked, and the results were real. Unlike some soldiers in our country, they lie about their achievements and are shameless to the extreme. ”

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in order to boost morale and boost the morale of the people, the Nationalist government would exaggerate its own achievements and at the same time reduce its own losses. As far as the Nationalist Government and Chairman Chiang were concerned, the propaganda of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was not only aimed at the people at home, but also the factors of falsely reporting the achievements of the war and advocating a "great victory" were also factors for foreign countries to see.

Since the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Chinese army has been defeated again and again in the face of the Japanese army, and a certain great victory has suddenly emerged.

In fact, this is a false phenomenon that exists in all countries during wartime. But too much and too much falsehood will have the opposite negative effect. For example, the United States has made a lot of criticisms about China's "untruthful" handling of war news, saying that "the results of such propaganda have made Washington's Arms Agency believe that there is no need to immediately increase aid to China, because the Chinese* army can defeat Japan on its own." ”

Moreover, propaganda that was originally intended to boost the morale of the people was used by some generals as a shortcut to exaggerating military exploits in order to seek promotion. As a result, it is quite common for generals at the theater level to middle- and lower-level officers to falsely report their achievements and exaggerate their military exploits in the front-line units.

But it is not a false report, and the amount of water that is falsely reported can actually be seen from the number of captures and prisoners. Just as Chairman Chiang said in his speech at a military meeting: "With such a strong force and such a good posture, we will certainly be able to defeat the enemy, capture many of the enemy's officers and men, and capture the enemy's countless heavy weapons!" Even if there are not ten thousand captives, there should always be a thousand! There is no thousand, there must be a hundred! Not a hundred, at least ten, but now you don't have even ten captives! How can you be worthy of your duties? ”

Yes, there are not even ten prisoners, how can we destroy tens of thousands of enemies? Well, it cannot be ruled out that some prisoners were killed by angry officers and soldiers and civilians, but the gap would not be so huge that even those with a little common sense would feel wrong.

On the other hand, although the New Seventh Army has also made some false reports in its previous operations, it has mastered this degree very well. Take captives, kill them, and keep them; What about the loot, report it truthfully. The battlefield record group organized by Yang Tianfeng took a large number of video materials, which can objectively show the enemy's defeat and the results of the New Seventh Army.

Chen Bui also had a certain understanding of what Chairman Jiang said, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "If according to the battle record, Yang Tianfeng is promoted to the commander of the group army, it is also well deserved. However, he has his own ideas, and the chairman of the committee does not have to force it, and he can give more rewards in other aspects to reward his merits. ”

"Well, this is nature." Chairman Jiang nodded, "I basically approved his application. Yang Tianfeng has done a good job in this regard, and he is not the kind of person who is greedy and unrestrained. If the modified aircraft really worked, it could deal a heavy blow to the Japanese aircraft, and it would be nothing to let him keep a few of them. ”

As he was talking, Dai Li came to ask for a meeting, and Chairman Jiang and Chen Bui ended their discussion.

……………

In 1937, after the end of the war in Shanghai, although the Kuomintang retreated, it left behind a terrible "legacy" - terrorist activities and the Blue Coat Society.

According to a foreign observer: "The police in the Public Concession and the French Concession could have easily eradicated this monster, but they allowed it to grow, and even raised tigers, so that the monster would from time to time find some sacrifice to satisfy its appetite." ”

In fact, the foreign observer's observation was obviously still superficial, and he did not know that many of the people in the patrol houses in the concession had been bought by the military or the central government.

At that time, if the Japanese army wanted to openly arrest people in the concession, the Japanese gendarmerie had to come forward and notify the authorities of the patrol house in the concession in advance, and the patrol house would send personnel to go together. However, most of the military and central unification organizations in Shanghai gave monthly allowances to the officers of the patrol houses in the two concessions, and they shared the same voice.

Therefore, it often happens that when the Japanese army wants to go to the concession to arrest people, it is often the Japanese gendarmerie that has just greeted the patrol house, and those patrol house personnel who have been bribed by the military commander and the central command will "release the cage" (secretly notify) in advance to let the arrested person escape. Even if some important personnel belonging to the military command and the central command are arrested because they do not have time to "release the cage," the patrol and arrest room will remain in difficulty in many ways, and even refuse to "extradite."

Beginning in June 1938, there was a sudden wave of strong "patriotic fervor" in Shanghai, where the banner of Chinese nationalists was flown at all anniversary celebrations. Many tabloids published editorials advocating force, and regular newspapers wrote articles encouraging young people to join or organize guerrilla groups. Subsequently, terrorist attacks on collaborators began to be staged frequently.

Public opinion differs on the evaluation of this series of terrorist activities. There are some indications that this is a struggle and strife between opposing factions of collaborators, all of whom want to gain political favor and financial support from the Japanese, disguised as a patriotic event, but in fact are fighting for the spoils of war against Japan.

However, most people believe that this was an activity of some organization in Shanghai and that the assassinations were all motivated by patriotism. Most people believed that this organization was the Blue Coat Society, a fascist society that was fanatically loyal to Chairman Chiang.

The name "Blue Shirts" has been used for a long time because of its strong symbolic meaning, especially when the brown and black shirts were all the rage in Europe. On the other hand, the blatant commission of terrorist activities on the "isolated island of Shanghai" is by no means something that one or two organized command centers can accomplish.

The political assassination, which originated from the National Salvation Movement of the early thirties, led to the emergence of partly man-made, partly spontaneous organizations and institutions among the "petty citizens" of Shanghai, who acted both patriotic and self-interested. Sometimes they join forces with the government's military secret services, and sometimes they go it alone.

Whatever the purpose, in the initial "isolated island of Shanghai", the initiative of terrorist activities was in the hands of Kuomintang agents, and although the pro-Japanese Zodiac Society and the Fuxing Society also fought back, it was the Kuomintang resistance that prevailed in the autumn and early winter of 1938.

However, in 1939, when Li Shiqun and Ding Mo Estate set up a secret service organization at 76 Jisfeier Road, the situation began to change quietly. First of all, Li Shiqun quickly recruited seven former agents of the Central Command and members of the CC Department to form a core, and as his backbone, he also won the loyal service of Wu Shibao, a member of the Green Gang. This swarthy and swarthy sadist recruited local gangsters and other active collaborators for him.

Subsequently, the Li-Ding combination facilitated the defection of key military agents Wang Tianmu and Chen Mingchu and others, and destroyed their secret service organization, which was quite a significant victory.

And the chain reaction that ensued was almost catastrophic for the military commanders. Because No. 76 arrested many military commanders, including even another group of secret agents sent by Chongqing to assassinate Wang Jingwei. Japanese newspapers, such as the Tokyo Daily News, have expressed their trust in Ding Mocun, Li Shiqun, and others.

In the face of the unfavorable situation, the newly established Shanghai District of Military Command formulated a plan: Japanese people in military uniforms should be targeted for execution, regardless of their rank or position, and they would be killed on the spot if they succeeded, regardless of their rank or position, and the place of execution would be limited to the Japanese-occupied areas and their spheres of influence. The plan was escalated to Dai and approved.

It was under this circumstance that Wu Jinsuo and the other three were transferred by Yang Tianfeng, and after urgent training and selection, they were secretly sent to Shanghai to participate in the assassination activities. He was accompanied by the head of the Yudong Intelligence Group, Yu Wenzhong, and two of his subordinates.

When they first arrived in Shanghai, Wu Jinsuo and others were still shocked by this completely unfamiliar world, although they were instilled with a lot of introductions to big cities.

The clanging of trams, the different costumes of city dwellers, the bustling streets, the towering buildings, the fluttering flags of various countries......

There were no vast fields, no flying wars, no familiar everything, as if they were from another world.

The rows of merchants and shops are all open for business as always, the wives and ladies sitting on the rickshaws swaggering through the market, the smiling women in thick clothes soliciting customers on the street, the taverns and restaurants are still doing thriving, and the sound of shouting five drinks and six cups is endless.

Wu Jinsuo and the others were stunned and at a loss. Xiao Wenzhong and the others had obviously expected this, and when they settled down, they took them into groups to familiarize themselves with this strange thing.

a yellow-haired foreign soldier with a tall horse; a movie theater where Chaplin's new film is being screened; a brothel that opens its doors and accepts customers; a shopkeeper with a professional and humble smile; It's like a colorful place of joy floating on a sea of neon advertisements; In the "Great World Theater", which is similar to the Colosseum, the high-pitched Yue Opera singing is accompanied by the cheers of the audience and the noisy gongs and drums......

All this is not so easy to adapt to and get used to, but the three soil buns still saw the world and saw a different world outside. After the guns and ammunition were smuggled in batches, they picked up familiar weapons again, and realized that they were soldiers who had come to kill people in this glamorous world of flowers.

The drizzle was dashing, and the river breeze hit the drizzle on people's faces, like many cold little insects slowly wriggling.

Wu Jinsuo and Xiao Wenzhong came to the vicinity of the ancient temple on Jing'an Temple Road, and the two entered the ancient temple one after the other pretending not to know each other.

Regarding how to act, who to kill, and who to see this time, Wu Jinsuo didn't know, and he didn't want to know. I was curious, but I wasn't terrified.

The main entrance of the ancient temple was locked, and Wu Jinsuo could only pass through the filthy side door. The beggars squatting on the stone steps immediately gathered around, and the sound of carts and horses and the cries of hawkers made the noise of people. I finally entered the temple and found myself in a dim and stale silence.

Surrounded by heavy and warm air, in front of him are three colorful Bodhisattva statues, Wu Jinsuo walked slowly in the temple. After passing a dusty ancient bell and passing through the brick-paved courtyard, I saw a life-size Bodhisattva dressed as a Qing Dynasty official. The Bodhisattva sits on a small altar with an embroidered curtain, the edges of which are turned gray by incense.

A young woman lit a pillar of incense in front of the Bodhisattva, bowed three times, folded her hands in front of her forehead, and bowed a few times.

Wu Jinsuo looked up, this Bodhisattva made him feel weird, wearing a gorgeously colored Dharma robe, red face, and a long black beard, is this a Bodhisattva? A thick wisp of cigarette smoke rose and drifted over the Bodhisattva's gentle smiling face. Laughing at everyone, or is it just me seeing? (To be continued.) )
