Chapter 56: The Bombing of the Japanese Chieftain
Chen Zikun thought about it for a while. I couldn't think of any important events on the 29th, so I simply asked her directly: "What is the big deal, don't swallow it." ”
Tang Yan said: "I also got the information by chance, Wang Yaqiao and a group of North Koreans are working on high-explosive bombs, and they require that the goods must arrive before the 29th, and the specific ones are not clear, if you are interested, just check it." ”
"Well, thank you." Chen Zikun shook hands with Tang Yan and turned to leave.
Tang Yan sent it to the door and watched Chen Zikun get into the car, and he never looked back.
The car was gone, Tang Yan closed the door, and two lines of tears fell silently.
When Chen Zikun returned to his residence, he was still puzzled, so he asked Liu Ting what was famous on the 29th.
"Do you mean April 29th? It was the birthday of Emperor Hirohito of Japan, a major Japanese holiday, the Tencho Festival. Liu Ting replied.
Chen Zikun gasped, this Wang Yaqiao is really powerful, he actually wants to block the Japanese on the day of the Tianchang Festival, grand festivals are often when crowds gather in large numbers, the bomb goes off, and there are heavy casualties, this day is really good.
But after thinking about it carefully, this piece of information is of little use to himself, so he can't tell the Japanese, and the only way is to pass on this information, and there are two friends in the intelligence port, one is Cheng Ziqing of the Political Department of the French Concession Patrol and Arrest Room, and the other is Dai Li, who is not reliable after all, and it is more appropriate to sell this information to Dai Li.
So Chen Zikun made a phone call to Dai Li, and said the matter lightly, Dai Li understood, immediately hung up the phone, and pieced together some of the fragmentary information he had, and suddenly became enlightened, he and Wang Yaqiao were old acquaintances, and admired the courage and courage of this old man. It is likely that there will be an explosion against the Japanese on the day of the Tencho Festival.
As soon as the Songhu War stopped, the Chinese hated Japan to the core, and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek even bitterly scolded the Japanese in his diary every day for being insatiable and gaining an inch.
The Party Affairs Investigation Section is a spy organization of the CC faction, and Dai Li's communication investigation team is Chiang Kai-shek's descendant spy organization, Dai Li himself has been Chiang's attendant, and he has a very close relationship, so he can report anything directly, and the Shanghai headquarters of the Party Affairs Investigation Section was destroyed by Chen Zikun himself, and the matter was not made public, of course, Dai Li's side was clear, and it was regarded as a joke, Li Jiawen rushed to Nanjing to cry to Xu Enzeng, and Section Chief Xu reported to Chen Lifu, and he was delayed for two days. Dai Li's information has just been sorted out.
When Dai Li went to report, Chen Lifu had just come out of the chairman's office, frowning, as if someone owed him 200 oceans, as the leader's most taboo subordinates who bullied him, Chen Zikun could offend Chen Lifu miserably this time.
"Hello Minister Chen." Dai Li politely bowed and saluted, Chen Lifu nodded and passed, Dai Li looked at his back, sorted out the military appearance shouting report, and entered the office.
Chairman Jiang was sitting precariously, reviewing official documents, and he didn't raise his head: "Say." ”
"Chairman of the National People's Committee, based on our analysis of recent intelligence, we have judged that the DPRK exile organization will carry out an explosion and assassination in Hongkou on the 29th of this month, targeting high-ranking Japanese military and political officials."
"Oh?" Chiang Kai-shek sat up straight, looking very interested.
Dai Li gave a detailed description of the situation, of course, he did not mention that this information was obtained from Chen Zikun.
"Very good, continue to pay close attention, and you can support Jin Jiu and them when the time is right." The chairman of the committee made instructions, and Dai Li straightened his waist: "Yes!" ”
Turning around and about to leave, Chiang Kai-shek stopped him again, "Yunong, what do you think of Chen Zikun, what are your shortcomings?" ”
Dai Li said with a smile: "General Chen's loyalty to the party-state is not to be said, but to talk about shortcomings...... There are also, it's just a better woman, he married a three-room wife, and there are several small ones outside, and he is very pampered, hehe, who can be a sage if he is not a sage. ”
Chiang Kai-shek smiled: "Okay, you go down." ”
Dai Li, bowing slightly, went out backwards.
Chiang Kai-shek finished handling official business, when he went home for dinner, he was still frowning, Song Meiling asked him why he was troubled, he said: "Chen Kunwu led people to sweep the headquarters of the Party Affairs Investigation Department in Shanghai, and killed three people, Chen Lifu sued me all the complaints, Songhu battle, Kunwu contributed a lot, I just want to reward him, this kind of scandal, doesn't it make me in a dilemma." ”
Song Meiling said: "What should I do, Darling, I know about this matter, Xiao Chen went to the French Concession to find a girlfriend, but was arrested by Xu Enzeng's people as ***, two ribs were broken, and he was forced to extort a check, think about it, Xiao Chen is a strong person, how can he suffer this dumb loss, once he gets out, he will not make much trouble in the Heavenly Palace, let me see, only three people were killed That is Xiao Chen's subordinates showed mercy, saved face for Lifu, changed his previous temper, and did not bloody the investigation department." ”
Chiang Kai-shek said: "Kunwu is too, his temperament is too impatient, but it is understandable that Chong Guan is angry and red-faced." ”
The next day, Chiang Kai-shek called Chen Lifu to understand the situation, and Chen Lifu also listened to the words of his subordinates, and did not know that Chen Zikun was beaten and blackmailed by the Investigation Bureau, so he immediately said that he would go back to strictly investigate.
As a result, it is conceivable that Chen Zikun still has two living mouths left on his side, and the relationship between the people has been to his wife, and he can blow the pillow wind at any time, so Chen Lifu had no choice but to swallow this bad breath and report to Chiang Kai-shek that there is indeed such a thing, but it is all done by the temporary personnel of the Investigation Bureau, and the quality education of personnel will be strengthened in the future.
It seems to have passed like that.
But within the Party Affairs Investigation Section, it is far from over, Xu En has been severely criticized by Chen Lifu, the investigation department is comprehensively rectified, and the person in charge wants to write a profound review, of course, the most unlucky thing is the recently captured group of *** people, the Party Affairs Investigation Department sprinkled a bad breath on them, and several key criminals who should have been interrogated in depth were all pulled to Yuhuatai by a car and executed.
In the Central Daily the next day, a list of the bandits who were shot was published, the sun was shining in Nanjing in April, Mai Ping walked on the street, bought a newspaper, caught a glimpse of a familiar name, and his breath suddenly became short, this person was his superior, codenamed ONE, was actually shot by the Kuomintang authorities, it seems that the party organization has been devastated, but for himself, it doesn't seem to be too bad, at least no one knows about his departure from the party, after all, Lu Ping is just a pseudonym, In these years, there are no more than a dozen or twenty people in the newspaper who have announced their separation from ***, as long as ONE is not alive, who can remember himself.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, wondering if it was time to go back to his hometown to see, his son, I am afraid that he will be able to make soy sauce at this time.
……
On April 29, the Tianchang Festival was approaching very quickly, and the Japanese side decided to hold a grand ceremony in Hongkou Park to celebrate the emperor's birthday and the Songhu War Celebration Meeting; in order to prevent Chinese from making trouble, Chinese people were forbidden to enter, and only Westerners, Japanese, and Koreans were allowed to participate.
At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the news came, an explosion had occurred in Hongkou Park, the casualties were unknown, an assassin was arrested, and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, more specific news came out from the hospital, Kawabata, chairman of the administrative committee of the People's Republic of China stationed in Shanghai, was killed on the spot, General Shirakawa Yoshinori, commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, was seriously wounded, Vice Admiral Nomura, commander of the Third Fleet, was blown blind in one eye, Vice Admiral Kenkichi Ueda, commander of the Ninth Division, and Shigemitsu Aoi, minister stationed in China, were both blown off one leg, and Murai, consul general in Shanghai, was injured.
The next day's "Declaration" promptly published a report entitled "Japanese dignitaries were bombed yesterday afternoon, Luoyang paper was expensive for a while, and firecrackers rang out one after another in the Chinese concessions, and the patrols did not ask questions, but the Hongkou area was lifeless and shrouded in a sad atmosphere.
In the next few days, the declaration has been tracking and reporting on the matter, and the signature at the end of the report is actually Tang Yan, it turns out that she has not taken refuge abroad, for a reporter, encountering this kind of major news and letting her not interview and report is more difficult than killing her.
However, the Party Affairs Investigation Department no longer dared to trouble Tang Yan, even if she was really ***, she could only let it go.
After the explosion in Hongkou Park, Dai Li's investigation and communication team intervened in the investigation, but found that the case was not so simple, ostensibly it was done by someone from the North Korean government-in-exile, but in fact the bomb came from the Shanghai Arsenal, and the in-depth investigation was carried out, not only with the support of Wang Yaqiao, but also with the help of Cai Tingkai and others of the 19th Route Army, and finally found the commander of the Beijing-Shanghai garrison, the head of the Cantonese boss Chen Shuming.
Dai Li did not dare to conceal it, and submitted the investigation report to Chairman Chiang's desk, Chiang Kai-shek didn't say anything when he saw it, but he felt a problem in his heart, Chen Shuming and Wang Yaqiao are also old acquaintances, and these people are mixed up and hooked up, which is not a good thing for the harmony and stability of the national government.
Because Dai Li's intelligence was accurate and reused, he was appointed as the director of the special service department of the Blue Coat Society, and his funds and personnel were strengthened, and he could faintly compete with the Party Affairs Investigation Section of the Organization Department.
On 5 May, China and Japan signed the "Songhu Armistice Agreement" under the mediation of Britain, the United States, France, and Italy. The Japanese army returned to the pre-war defense area, and the Chinese army temporarily stayed in the current station, and the combat area was classified as a demilitarized area. Since then, the Chinese army has withdrawn from Shanghai, and it is a great shame that they cannot garrison troops on their own territory, but the inferior army and the Japanese army have been tied, although the defeat is still glorious.
On the other hand, the Japanese army, occupying the superiority of the sea and air, fought for a month, did not advance an inch, and relied on the commander-in-chief, lost troops and generals, and in the end, even the senior generals were served by the Korean assassins, and this so-called victory was not less ridiculed by Britain and the United States behind their backs.
The war finally ended, but the 19th Route Army, which had made great contributions, was transferred by Chiang Kai-shek to Fujian to suppress the Communists, just as the so-called rabbit dead dog cooked, the bird was hidden by the bow, and the miscellaneous troops just couldn't escape the fate of being cannon fodder, and the highest authorities in order to appease the people's hearts, the work on face was still very beautiful, and Jiang Guangding and Cai Tingkai were both awarded the highest honor of the National Government Military Medal -- the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal.
Chen Zikun was also awarded the Baoding Medal for his outstanding performance in the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, and was also appointed chairman of the Aviation Committee under the Military Commission.
It seems that Hu Banxian's calculation was quite accurate at the beginning, and Chen Zikun's official fortune has come to an end.
