Chapter 217: The End

After two days and two nights of fierce fighting, the smoke of gunpowder in Nanshi finally came to an end.

Regardless of the Japanese efforts, Nanshi is the big rear, there is no army at all, and if they want to continue to send more troops, they can only be surrounded and reinforced, so the Japanese can only vent their dissatisfaction with bombing, and then fade away and continue the offensive in Zhabei.

However, the wing stranded in Nanshi ran back to the ship and fled, and the rest were all killed.

And the plainclothes team of 250 people and about 90 intelligence officers sent by Kojiro Takeda could only come out and surrender after running out of bullets.

What to vote for?

Boss Dai doesn't need to be captured, kill it, it's a hundred!

Nanshi's victory made Boss Dai's heart surge, and the Third Theater Command also praised Nanshi's unexpected victory.

In just two days, with their own very small losses, they captured a Japanese wing and hundreds of elite agents, plus two ships, which is also unique among all the current wars.

The principal asked Boss Dai to personally send a letter of commendation to Zhou Qinghe.

"On the day of success, I will personally wear the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal for Qinghe in recognition of its irreplaceable role in the war against Japan!"

There is a gap between the weight of the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal and the previous medals, and other medals are medals, but this medal has a substitute for death charm in the party, which is equivalent to the previous Danshu iron coupon, even if it is a capital crime, it can be used to avoid a death, and there are very few people who get it.

Everybody is famous.

The defeat of the Japanese army in Nanshi and the accumulated anger were all poured out in the artillery fire of Zhabei, and the more arduous war of resistance continued.

And because of the bombing of the drug warehouse, cholera drugs were cut off, and the death harvest in the rear of Hongkou began.

If there was no medicine, the result would be constant diarrhea, which would be useless despite the skill of the doctors, and a large number of Japanese would die.

Zhou Qinghe, with a painful and helpless expression, accompanied the Japanese on their last journey, and then asked the gendarmerie to pull their bodies to be burned.

Don't pollute the environment.

The situation changed two days later, and cholera had no medicine to wait for death, and the process of death was extremely painful and miserable, which caused a very bad panic in the army.

The Japanese had no choice but to let the plane start transporting medicines from their home country and fill in first, as much as they could.

Airplanes were precious, and large quantities still had to be transported by ship, and after a few days, the cholera storm finally subsided.

The deceased is gone, but the living are liberated, and I do my best to comfort Captain Fujita, who has been with them.

The thousands of soldiers who have come these days are quite grateful, everyone's condition is improving, and when they see Zhou Qinghe, they all have to thank them respectfully.

The plans of the staff were stopped.

No one dared to mention the cholera that continued to be carried out on the Songhu battlefield.

The process after the lack of medicine is too scary, if it is poisoned again, and then there is cholera, the division commander who leads the team can peel off the skin of these people in the staff department.

As soon as the cholera stopped, Zhou Qinghe was called by Shinozuka Shintomi.

"Fujita, in view of your hard work in this cholera incident and the positive impact on the war, the General Staff Headquarters order!

On behalf of the Military Department and the Shanghai Dispatch Army Command, I hereby promote you to the rank of Zhongzuo! Promoted to second-class military doctor! I hope that you will make more efforts to make greater contributions to the great cause of the Great Japanese Empire! ”

"Long live the Emperor! Fujita will do your best! ”

If it weren't for the fact that war is a romance for soldiers, this promotion would be much easier.

Zhou Qinghe, under the watchful eye of everyone in the gendarmerie, calmly accepted the title of Shinozuka Shintosa.

Shinozuka Masako looked at Zhou Qinghe's face and chuckled, "Fujita, you don't seem to be very happy." ”

"Chief of Staff, you know me, I don't value this kind of thing."

If you pretend to be forced like this, Akio Tojo, who is watching from the sidelines, is jealous and just wants to roll her eyes.

It's only been a long time since he was the same as Fujita and Kiyo, and he was overtaken again, and it's very unpleasant to think about it, and he still thinks about one day being Fujita Kazukiyo's boss.

It's annoying.

Shinozuka Makotomi patted Zhou Qinghe's upper arm: "There is a saying in China, those who are capable work harder, like this cholera incident, how can you do it without you?" The soldiers you've treated are full of praise for you.

I've heard that when they go back, they say that you didn't hold the chief's shelf, and they are all carefully treated, and you comfort them with your heart during the lack of medicine, and accompany them through the difficulties.

As the military police headquarters in charge of military law, we have always had a bad relationship with other troops, and you can have such a reputation, I think it is a good thing for the work, and I am optimistic about you. ”

"Thank you, Chief of Staff." Zhou Qinghe nodded and smiled lightly.

"Alright, let's get busy." Shinozuka Makomi is also a busy man, and after dealing with this matter, he has to return to the headquarters to work.

As soon as he left, his subordinates congratulated Zhou Qinghe one after another.

Tojo Akio also has to offer, although his heart is not so happy, but after a few days of getting along, he has also learned to be smarter, so as not to be beaten by Zhou Qinghe, this attitude is still much better.

"Congratulations."

"Go to work."

Although the cholera has stopped, the work of treating the seriously injured will always be there, so it is still necessary to be busy.

The war continued, and under the powerful firepower of the Japanese army, the disadvantage of the agricultural country against the industrial country appeared.

The situation in Shanghai became more and more difficult, and the Japanese army occupied more and more territory.

The battle line was expanded, and the living space of the agents became larger, the gunfire in Hongkou restarted, and Boss Dai sent more agent teams, and assassinations and sabotage circuits emerged one after another.

During this period, Zhou Qinghe inevitably suffered two assassinations and paid the price for the death of several heroic gendarmes.

In the second half of October, Boss Dai came to him, and the two met in the concession.

"Qinghe, the times are difficult, this is probably the last time I can come to you."

Now that they are out of the concession, they are still Japanese except for the Japanese, and there are fewer and fewer safe roads left to pass.

The war has been fought so far, and the huge casualties have made all the military directors feel unbearable, and they are all asking the leaders to temporarily retreat, abandon Shanghai, and preserve their strength.

Boss Dai is also leaving.

"The Japanese have already begun to organize clean-up operations in the occupied areas, to drive out all Chinese in the occupied areas, and to completely put an end to the sabotage and assassination operations of our secret services, and our countrymen dare not stay; as soon as they leave, there will be no room for the activities of our special services, and besides, the casualties will indeed be too great."

Although the 10,000 people organized by Boss Dai have been gained, and because of Zhou Qinghe's intelligence, they have really made a lot of achievements.

But the casualties are real, the battle fatality rate has reached 20%, the current space is compressed, and staying down again is of little significance to the war situation.

"Director, we're going to win, what do you need me to do?" Zhou Qinghe is emotionally stable.

Boss Dai looked at Zhou Qinghe's firm face, a little surprised, ordinary people hearing this kind of remarks about about retreating, it is inevitable that they will have mood swings, depression, and frustration, but they can't see it on Zhou Qinghe's face at all.

Even Zhou Qinghe should be the one who is depressed, because the withdrawal of their large army means that Zhou Qinghe is like this concession, the concession is an island, and Zhou Qinghe will also be an island, and he will be isolated.

What followed Boss Dai was the warmth of being infected.

Wei Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Qinghe, the thing I value most in you is that you are not arrogant or discouraged, which is very good!" How many people in the party are demoralized and say discouraged words, and there is even no shortage of generals who lead troops, all of whom have shameless remarks, how can such people win battles? ”

"I'm not them, we're going to win." Zhou Qinghe smiled.

"Okay." Boss Dai also lifted his spirits, and after smiling lightly, he ordered solemnly: "In order to deal with the Japanese cleanup, the Shanghai District Secret Service will all evacuate Shanghai, this must be temporary!"

But you also have to know that you will have no reinforcements for a certain period of time, think twice before doing things, don't do anything if you can't do it, and save yourself is the first priority. ”

"Qinghe understands."

"The second thing is to improve your status in the hearts of the Japanese as much as possible, your existence is the sharp knife we insert in their chests, the faster and more stable your position climbs, when we want to recapture Shanghai, your knife can be inserted more steadily and deeply."

"Yes."

"The third thing is to do our best to lay out the layout in the concession area, in the SH urban area, and after the Japanese take control of Shanghai, they will definitely continue to develop Shanghai's economy.

It is impossible for them to give up the interests of the largest metropolis in the Far East, and the prosperity of Shanghai can bring them more benefits, and your layout in the concession and SH urban area is to prepare for the counteroffensive of our secret service, and the more fully prepared, the easier it will be for us to come back. ”

"Understood." Zhou Qinghe nodded.

"Don't be soft-hearted, sometimes even if you need to do something bad, it's a choice between last resort, as long as it's good for the top, as long as it's good for the overall situation, everything is worth it."

Boss Dai made it clear that he wanted to get closer to the Japanese, Zhou Qinghe understood, and chuckled: "I'm a doctor, and I don't need to do bad things, but I understand what the director means, and I won't be soft-hearted when it's time to sacrifice others." ”

"Well, do you need to keep more people for you? It's still too late to enter the concession. ”

"No, I'll have enough for the time being."

The manpower in Zhou Qinghe's hand was completely preserved, and it was enough for the time being.

And for him, after all the personnel are evacuated, there will be no unexpected moths, and he can completely let go of his hands and feet to do things.

In November, the order to retreat was issued, and thus the Battle of Songhu, which had lasted for more than three months, came to an end.

The Japanese began to clean up the battlefield at a deeper level and carve up the interests of Zhabei and Nanshi and other places.

Traitors and lackeys, agents began to jump on the stage to show off their might.

The headquarters of the Japanese army dispatched troops to prepare a reward for meritorious deeds.

The rebuilding of the land in ruins in the concession began, and the building of the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters was the first to be activated.

The puppet government is in preparation, and the list of officials is being agreed.

Zhou Qinghe, on the other hand, received a telegram from Japan that his brother Fujita Hidetake was coming to Shanghai, and his future father-in-law, Kenichi Yasuda, would also come to Shanghai.
