Greater Shanghai is a place where all countries gather, and Dodge and Ford run on the streets of the Bund, and these vehicles representing property class can be seen everywhere on the street; Europeans in suits and top hats, Japanese with mustaches, people in robes and glasses reading, and dock coolies with towels and shorts and shirts...... This is Shanghai, the largest metropolis in the Far East, and behind the prosperity there are a pair of greedy eyes staring.

In a European-style restaurant on the Bund street, a man with a mustache and a vest suit sits by the window, his name is Tsuyoshi Fujita, who works for the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters and has lived in China for nearly ten years.

At the moment, he is tasting delicious salmon, which is the most delicious food for this man from the island nation.

A sharp knife slowly cuts down, and the texture of the salmon meat is revealed, revealing a hole that looks like a child's mouth; He picked up his fork and stabbed it hard, then eagerly put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"It's delicious!" As he tasted the delicacy, he let out a sound of admiration.

Quack! The old wooden door of the restaurant was slowly pushed open, and a woman in a satin cheongsam and a black cloak walked with frivolous steps. After coming in, the warm waiter politely asked her, and when she said the table number of the meeting, the waiter politely ushered her over.

After giving the tip, the woman sat down without the other party's invitation, she lit a cigarette, spit out a smoke ring, and said in a slightly critical tone: "Mr. Fujita is really interested, the Wehrmacht of the Northern Expedition is like a bamboo, I heard that it is almost to Shanghai now, it is rare that you still have such a good leisure and elegance." ”

Fujita, who was tasting salmon, picked up the tablecloth in front of him and wiped his mouth, he smiled: "Miss Ouyang is so worried, I heard that you didn't have a one-night affair with Huang Ke, the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces?" What does it matter if the Northern Expeditionary Army hits Shanghai, will Commander Huang still be difficult for you? ”

Ouyang Hui was not annoyed after hearing Fujita Gang's emphasis, as an important spy planted by the Japanese intelligence agency in China, it is normal to sleep with others, what is it to be said a few words?

"It's old, this surnamed Huang not only doesn't miss the old feelings, but also transferred me out of the "Declaration"; Fortunately, I am familiar with other high-level officials in the southern government, and now I have been transferred to work in the party department. ”

Fujita Tsuyoshi smiled: "It seems that Miss Ouyang's reputation as a 'big Shanghai courtesan' is indeed worthy of its reputation, and the empire did not choose the wrong person after all." ”

Ouyang Hui picked up the coffee in front of him, added some sugar, and stirred it gently with a spoon: "It's useless to say anything now, Huang Ke has become suspicious of me, and it is estimated that I can't find anything from him." ”

Fujita Gang shook his head and disagreed with Ouyang Hui's opinion, "Huang Ke has been included in the list of first-level target figures of the imperial intelligence department. Unfortunately, we have not been able to inquire about any previous experiences with this person. ”

"His experience? From what I have met, he is not only proficient in English, but also very knowledgeable about European and American culture and history, and I also know from him that he studied in the United States, and his accent is still northern. ”

"It's not that simple," Fujita continued, "We also found out that he came back from studying in the United States and Europe, but we didn't find any information about him in the school he said, and what is even more strange is that we never found any information about this person before the seventh year of Taisho, so this person is a big mystery to us." Now, we'd like you to be able to find the relevant information, please. ”

Ouyang Hui is actually not a purebred Chinese, half of her blood is Japanese, and she is fluent in Chinese, Japanese and English.

A few years ago, when she was living in Japan, she was developed into an intelligence agent by Fujita Gang, and soon she devoted herself to Shanghai, because of her charming appearance, so many warlords and government elders had a night affair with her, stealing a lot of important information for the Japanese intelligence agencies.

It's just that the boat capsized at Huang Ke's a few years ago, and Huang Ke took advantage of it and didn't provide her with information; But this made her have a different view of Huang Ke, and when she thought of Huang Ke, she would also stir up the throbbing of a girl.

The corners of Ouyang Hui's mouth naturally showed a hint of a smile, and Fujita Gang, who was carefully observed, saw it in his eyes: "Miss Ouyang, what are you thinking?" ”

Ouyang Hui came back to her senses at this time: "Mr. Fujita, do you mean to let me go to Huang Ke now?" You must know that he is now the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and even if I have great ability, it is impossible for me to get close to him at this time. ”

Fujita Jun's serious face slowly relaxed: "I know this, I didn't let you go immediately, you just need to seize the opportunity in the future." ”

As soon as Fujita finished speaking, he leaned his head over and said softly: "We have found out that Wang Jingwei and others have been planning to carry out the party purging action recently, and Sun himself's physical condition is gradually deteriorating; So we want to use this opportunity to create internal chaos in China and let the country continue to be divided. ”

As soon as she heard this, Ouyang Hui's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with a slightly weird smile: "Understood!" ”

With that, she stood up lightly, then elegantly put on her cloak and picked up her bag and left the restaurant. Tsuyoshi Fujita also stood up shortly after, and after walking to the counter to settle the bill, he also left the restaurant slowly.

Most of Jiang Xianyun and Lin Zuo, who had marched from Fujian, had already begun their offensive, and these two young generals, who were rarely seen even in Chinese history, showed a wise sophistication disproportionate to their age in the first battle.

Most of Fujian was in Sun Chuanfang's hands at the time, and when Cui Wu's troops took the lead in attacking Hunan and other places under Wu Peifu's control, Sun Chuanfang did not take sides.

When Huang Ke was sworn in as commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army in Guangzhou, Sun Chuanfang was playing chess with several people in Hangzhou. When the news of the Northern Expedition came from the military intelligence, he opened the telegram and smiled indifferently, still smiling.

A few people don't know what he thinks, and they don't know if this chess can continue to play, everyone knows that Sun Chuanfang is a smiling general, and he laughs at big things, so it makes people puzzled.

"Hey, why don't you move? Next, play chess, don't care about state affairs, come on, let's continue to play chess. Sun Chuanfang waved the pu fan in his hand to urge people to continue playing chess, Hangzhou's spring neck is short, and it is already hot in early summer, which makes Sun Chuanfang a little uncomfortable, so he takes the pu fan in his hand when he is fine.

"The chairman is really a general, as Su Xun said in "Heart Art", Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged" and Sun Chuanfang was playing against a local celebrity, and Sun Chuanfang couldn't help but slap his beard.

Hearing someone compliment himself like this, Sun Chuanfang couldn't help laughing loudly, "I know that the Wehrmacht, although it is claimed to be 100,000, but less than half of the experienced old troops, and most of the others are mud legs who have just joined the army, if such an army wants to win the Northern Expedition, it must adopt various policies to break through, so he Sun Cannon and Huang Haired Boy (Huang Ke) will definitely not attack me and Wu Peifu at the same time." Now that Wu Peifu is fighting, my side will be fine. ”

After speaking, Sun Chuanfang moved the chess pieces in his hand and pressed them on the chessboard made of stones, making a snapping sound.

"Chairman Sun is far-sighted, and naturally he is confident, so is Chairman Sun uniting with Wu Peifu to take the Southern Revolutionary Party? The old man sees that this world will eventually be Chairman Sun's. The old man continued to compliment, but at the same time as the compliment, he couldn't stop tempting.

"Why send troops? Now it's two tigers fighting, and when they all fight down, I'll clean up together" After that, Sun Chuanfang snapped and moved the chess pieces in his hand, and then shouted, "General!" ”

The old man saw that Qipanshan had been "checkmated" by Sun Chuanfang, and he hurriedly clasped his fists and smiled: "The old man has lost, the old man has lost!" ”

Although he said that he was waiting to see what happened, in private, he still made some adjustments to defend against the attack of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and at the same time to prepare for the next step of cleaning up the other two armies. On the third day of Huang Ke's oath, Sun Chuanfang, as the commander-in-chief of the allied forces of the five provinces, commanded the troop movements of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Anhui, and Jiangxi provinces.

The barrier of defense has been formed, Sun Chuanfang believes that even if the Northern Expeditionary Army attacks him, it will be difficult to break through his first line of defense, and at the same time, he also gathered reinforcements from the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui into five front armies and a general reserve to assemble on the borders of each province, ready to stand by at any time as the second echelon.

Although the wishful thinking was crackling, what he never expected was that the Northern Expeditionary Army actually attacked his defense area, and his first line of defense only lasted one day, and he was torn open by Jiang Xianyun and Lin Zuoda, two yellow-haired boys.

Jiang Xianyun's army is also strong, compared with Cui Wu's army, his troops are of higher quality and more powerful in combat.

Before the attack, Jiang Xianyun first ordered the reconnaissance troops to cross the defensive line in camouflage and enter the Fujian and Jiangxi regions, where they heavily propagated the agrarian revolution and fully mobilized the support of the local people; The rest of the armies were stationed in place, neither in a hurry to attack nor to retreat.

Sun Chuanfang's troops stationed on the front line couldn't understand it, and it was not easy for them to attack without an order to attack, so they desperately mobilized reinforcements to the front of the defense line, and took Jiangxi as the focus of defense. For a time, several important cities in Jiangxi were overcrowded, and the number of troops was several times that of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

At this time, Jiang Xianyun knew that the opportunity had come, and the night before the attack, he ordered Lin Zuoda to lead the main force of the troops to attack from the Fujian border, and he himself led a small number of troops to feint.

The Wehrmacht's 122-caliber cannon roared again, and the battle for the Northern Expedition began again.
