Chapter 401 Without faith and pursuit, we are just a mob
Xiang Chu and Zheng Zhili walked into the private room, and Bao Ge followed in with a telegram folder.
He bowed 90 degrees and handed the telegram folder to Xiang Chu with both hands, saying respectfully:
"General Fujiwara! There is an incoming call and a secret letter."
"it is good!"
Xiang Chu smiled and nodded, then took the telegram folder.
One was a telegram from Yamashita Yoshiharu, saying that he would bring 190 young members of the Yamashita Group to Shanghai at noon tomorrow and happily join his gendarmerie inspection team.
"This guy! He actually recruited so many people to join the army."
Xiang Chu couldn't help laughing and handed the telegram to Zheng Zhili.
Zheng Zhili took the message and said with a smile, "General Fujiwara! It seems that your Yamashita Group is very supportive of you."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Under the general situation, young people in Fusang have no future unless they join the army."
"That's right! Public opinion alone will overwhelm them."
Zheng Zhili smiled bitterly and returned the telegram paper to him.
Xiang Chu took the telegram, handed it to Bao Ge, and ordered: "Pingxiang Bao Ge! Give this telegram to Captain Tojo and tell the kitchen to prepare Fuso meals for lunch tomorrow."
"Hello!"
Bao Ge hurriedly accepted the order.
Xiang Chu unfolded the secret letter and read it. Long Ling said in the secret letter: "General Fujiwara! Xia sent someone to throw a threatening letter into the door of Chuyue Hotel, threatening that if you don't reply to his telegram before 11 o'clock in the morning, he will frame you and make you a loser."
"It's absolutely crazy!"
Xiang Chu cursed inwardly and calmly closed the telegram folder.
It is now one o'clock in the afternoon, and Xia Shengyuan's frame-up should have begun.
In a bookstore in the International Settlement, a Japanese sailor walked out of the store.
"Bang! Bang!" Two gunshots.
The Fuso sailor fell in a pool of blood and died.
The masked killer threw a piece of white cloth with red words written on it at the Fuso sailor and ran away.
Soon, the concession police came running over after hearing the news. The leading police chief picked up a white cloth and read:
"Swear to destroy the Japanese pirates, Xiang Chu!"
The same situation also occurred in many areas of the public concession.
Killing the Japanese in the concession will only make the concession officials furious.
Xiang Chu naturally became the target of the Shanghai International Settlement's ultimatum.
Needless to say, this was a vicious plot by Xia Shengyuan to retaliate against Xiang Chu for not contacting him.
Moreover, he even boasted to Liu Fang, who was sent by Niu Fangxiong to inquire about Xiang Chu's situation: "Old Liu! It's easy to make Xiang Chu show up. You might as well kill the devil and put the blame on him, so that the devil can find him. Even if they can't find him, let Xiang Chu attract the devil's firepower for us."
"Stationmaster Xia! Your plan is really brilliant."
Liu Fang praised and hurried back to convey it.
Niu Fangxiong nodded and said, "That's a good idea. Let's kill a few devils in Zhabei and blame it on Xiang Chu."
"Yes!"
Liu Fang hurriedly accepted the order.
He ordered the gang members he had recruited: "Mumu! Kill any Japanese soldiers and frame Xiang Chu."
But Mumu made a condition to him: "Deputy District Chief Liu! Killing a devil will cost at least 100 yuan."
Liu Fang immediately got angry and refused, saying, "Ten dollars at most. If you don't want to kill me, get out of here."
Mu Mu was furious, but he remained calm and held out his hand, saying, "Ten dollars is fine."
Liu Fang said angrily: "How can you ask for money right away? I'll give it to you after I kill you."
"Row!"
Mumu left angrily.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He went to a telephone booth and dialed the Japanese gendarmerie's reporting number, revealing the hiding place of Niu Fangxiong and others.
After receiving the report, Akita Haruka immediately called the duty phone of Shanghai Special High Section in order to please Xiang Chu.
Upon hearing this, the officer on duty smiled bitterly and said, "Captain Akita! General Fujiwara has gone to his military police squadron."
Akita Haruka couldn't wait, so he said with a smile, "Okay! Just send a few people to follow our military police, and it will be counted as your contribution."
"Yes!"
The officer on duty hurriedly received the order.
Although Xiang Chu gave the Special High Section personnel a holiday, many of them were bachelors and lived in the Special High Section's dormitories.
The duty officer called the dormitory building and falsely conveyed Xiang Chu's order, tricking more than 20 bachelors into going to the Japanese gendarmerie.
Soon, hundreds of Japanese military police and more than 20 Special High Section agents drove to the telephone booth where Mu Mu was.
Under Mu Mu's guidance, the Japanese military police and agents rushed into the secret residence of Niu Fangxiong, Liu Fang and others.
There was a burst of gunfire at once. Niu Fangxiong and others were shot to death, Liu Fang and others were captured alive, and only a few people escaped.
Liu Fang surrendered immediately and revealed Xia Shengyuan's hiding place in the International Settlement.
Akita Harukatsu informed the International Settlement Police Station that he was trying to capture the terrorists who assassinated the Fuso sailors and that his target was limited to an apartment building.
The International Settlement Police Department was delighted and immediately agreed to let him bring the military police into the concession.
The Japanese military police and agents rushed into Xia Shengyuan's residence and arrested Xia Shengyuan and others on the spot. Jia Hai escaped because he was out, but the radio station, telegram paper and code book all fell into the hands of the Japanese agents.
What’s even more terrible is that Xiang Chu’s radio call sign was actually recorded on a telegram paper.
In order to please Xiang Chu, Akita Haruka put all the captured people into the Special High Section Prison.
Then, he drove to the Military Police Supervision Brigade with the seized radio, code book, and the telegram paper with the call sign.
Xiang Chu and Zheng Zhili just walked out of the canteen door and met Akita Chunhe who was beaming with joy. He smiled and said, "Chunhe! Are you going to get promoted or get married?"
Akita Haruka said with a smile, "First-class leader! Haruka just led the military police and your Special High Section men to wipe out the China Shanghai Intelligence Station and the Shanghai District's base in one fell swoop. Almost no one escaped, and they also seized the radio station, the code book and the call sign of this radio station."
After he finished speaking, he handed Xiang Chu the telegram paper and code book with Xiang Chu's radio station call sign.
Xiang Chu took the code book and telegram paper and took a look at them. He was extremely shocked. If Akita Haruka had not delivered them to him diligently, and the other party had the code book, it would only be a matter of time before he was exposed.
"Thank you, Haruka! Thank you so much!"
Xiang Chu said excitedly, took out a bunch of banknotes and a gold bar and stuffed them into his pocket, and said with emotion,
"Chun He! I never thought that you would give such a big credit to your brother. You are truly brothers."
"Yes! Brother."
Akita Haruka was also very moved. He asked the driver to move the radio down and bowed,
"Daike! Haruhe has official duties to attend to, so I'll excuse you."
Xiang Chu patted his shoulder and said gratefully:
"Okay! Get busy."
"Hello!"
Akita Haruka left happily.
"Chili! You wait in the car. Pingxiang-kun! You come with me, holding the radio."
Xiang Chu gave an order and immediately ran into the office of the captain of the gendarmerie supervision team.
He quickly sent several telegrams to notify that his call sign was invalid and a new call sign was activated.
This time, he did not dare to tell Dai Nong the new call sign, and told others not to disclose it.
Ning Caiwei, who was a graduate of telecommunications, immediately sent a message:
"Brother Chu! Since your call sign has been leaked by the Shanghai Intelligence Station, why don't I put your call sign on my radio to deliberately give the illusion that you are still in Chongqing."
Xiang Chu immediately replied: "Sure! One hour later, you can also take the initiative to reply to the call sign of the Shanghai Intelligence Station and reply that Xiang Chu is in Chongqing and if you have any questions, please contact the military police."
Ning Caiwei replied to the message: "OK!"
Xiang Chu gave Bao Ge some instructions, then immediately took the radio and returned to the Special High Section with Zheng Zhili.
He handed the telegram paper with his call sign to Zheng Zhili and said with a wry smile:
"Zhili! It was almost ruined. From now on, my radio call sign will be set one-to-one."
Zheng Zhili took the telegram, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:
"Oh! It's a blessing. But who has so many radio stations to set up call signs one by one?"
Xiang Chu thought for a moment and said, "Then use a separate call sign for those people you are worried about."
Zheng Zhili smiled bitterly and said, "What kind of people did the acting director of the Military Police Department use?"
Xiang Chu said bitterly: "Without faith and pursuit, we are just a mob!"
