Chapter 411 I Want to Ask for Credit for You
Setting up checkpoints privately and pretending to be Japanese soldiers to massacre villagers are all capital crimes.
However, Xiang Chu wanted to interfere with the Japanese battlefield and did not intend to execute him on the spot.
He thought for a moment and ordered Yamashita Yoshiharu: "Yiharu! These extremely evil criminals must be brought to the front headquarters tomorrow morning. Your squadron is responsible for guarding them. Put them all in a truck."
"Hello!"
Yamashita Yoshiharu hurriedly accepted the order.
"Stay away from the village and camp immediately."
Xiang Chu gave an order and led his troops to camp away from the village.
A small building in Shanghai International Settlement.
Jia Hai, the telegraph operator who had escaped last time, climbed over the wall into the yard and knocked on the door rhythmically.
Soon, the door opened and he was pulled into the room. The lights in the room came on.
Jia Hai saw the two people in the room and exclaimed, "Mu Tian! Fang Nan! Did the director send you two guys here?"
"Shh!"
Mu Tian made a gesture to silence him and shouted in a low voice: "Jia Hai! I am now the colonel station chief, and Lao Fang is also the lieutenant colonel assistant secretary. You can't call him by his name."
Jia Hai said excitedly, "Stationmaster Mu! Did the director promote me?"
Mu Tian was stunned for a moment. In order to calm him down, he smiled and said, "Good brother! You are a veteran in the Intelligence Department, and you have more experience than Secretary Fang and I. As long as you make some small contributions, you will definitely do it."
Jia Hai got angry when he heard this and complained, "I haven't been exposed. I found a secluded house and contacted so many brothers hiding in Shanghai. How can the director not promote me?"
Mu Tian was worried that he would betray him, so he hurriedly said, "Good brother! I will immediately report your heroic deeds to the director and request your promotion to lieutenant colonel deputy station chief. Don't worry!"
"OK then."
Jia Hai nodded helplessly.
When Fang Nan heard that he was going to be better than him, he immediately became angry.
However, he remained calm and asked with a smile: "Lao Jia! Where do you live?"
How could Jia Hai tell him this? Thinking of the place where he had been to get free porridge many times, he made up his mind and said nonsense: "Oh! I live in the dormitory of the Red Heart Trading Company that provides relief to refugees."
Fang Nan praised: "No wonder they couldn't catch you. The Red Heart Company does business with the Japanese, and the boss has connections everywhere."
When Mu Tian heard this, he ordered, "You two! This Red Heart Trading Company is under close surveillance by this stationmaster. If we control the boss of the trading company, wouldn't it be easy to get the information?"
"Yes!"
Jia Hai hurriedly accepted the order.
"Well! There's no danger in watching the public concession!"
Fang Nan refused to obey the order and made sarcastic remarks instead.
Seeing that he did not accept the order, Mu Tian ordered: "Secretary Fang! Why don't you keep an eye on Long Wei in the Shanghai District. I heard that he has been lurking in the Red Party's lair for many years, and he must have other connections in Shanghai.
You must find out his background by all means, and use his power to facilitate our undercover work in Shanghai."
"All right!"
Fang Nan said very reluctantly.
The next morning, Xiang Chu led the gendarmerie supervision brigade to escort more than 30 "fake devils" back to the command post of Kageo Ishida's headquarters.
Xiang Chu went to see Ishida Kageo alone and said bitterly: "Commander! Last night, I caught 35 expatriates pretending to be imperial soldiers in Shitou Village. They killed and burned people and slaughtered Chinese villagers. They said they were instructed by Captain Sato to make money for him. It's really abominable!"
But Ishida Kageo smiled disapprovingly and said, "First-generation! This kind of thing happens all the time, don't take it too seriously."
Xiang Chu was immediately annoyed and said sternly, "Commander-in-Chief! I was appointed by the leader to supervise the battle. If I catch anyone slandering the imperial soldiers, I will never let them off easily. Since you don't care, I will report it to the headquarters and see how they decide."
Ishida Kageo suddenly became anxious and said hurriedly: "Don't be angry, First Commander, I didn't say I don't care. You can kill these bad apples immediately to set an example for others!"
Xiang Chu wanted to make things worse, otherwise he would have killed him last night. He shook his head and said, "No! The mastermind behind the scenes must be severely punished. Otherwise, if this evil trend is not stopped, how can the empire carry out the holy war in China?"
Ishida Kageo hurriedly advised, "First-class leader! Captain Sato's uncle is Captain Sato, and their family is also aristocratic. If you anger this uncle and nephew, you may get into trouble."
Xiang Chu deliberately waved his hands excitedly and yelled: "Nobles?! I have killed so many nobles who dared to take bribes and break the law, not to mention this uncle and nephew from the Sato family.
Ishida-kun! You don't have to worry about this matter. I will solve it by myself to repay the boss for his kindness. "
After saying this, he turned around and rushed out of Ishida Kageo's command post.
Yan Junliu looked at his back and said with a wry smile, "Commander! The Yamada leaders are loyal to the end. It seems that the Yamada leaders can be ruled out as the ones who leaked the information from the combat meeting last night."
Ishida Kageo rolled his eyes at him and whispered, "How could anyone leak the secret? It was just that old fox Doihara Ken'er who made random suspicions. Don't mention this matter again. It's not good for both you and me."
He paused, smiled mysteriously and said, "But this commander is very much looking forward to the first generation being able to severely punish the Sato family's domineering and disobedient uncle and nephew."
Yan Junliu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there will be bloodshed!"
Ishida Kageo ordered, "Yan-kun! You'd better go there in person to prevent the situation from getting out of control."
"Hello!"
Yan Junliu hurriedly accepted the order.
Linhuai Pass, Sato Battalion Command Post.
Xiang Chu, with the military police supervision brigade and 35 "fake devils", came aggressively.
On the way here, he reported the enemy's base camp in the form of a plain text telegram.
One is to portray themselves as the embodiment of justice, and the other is to prevent the Chinese people from suffering from the double harm of real and fake devils.
Captain Sato was organizing his troops to storm Linhuai Pass. The war had reached a critical juncture. The vanguard troops had already reached the front line of the Chinese army and started hand-to-hand combat. Unexpectedly, a troublemaker came.
Xiang Chu saw it and was anxious, so he rushed into his command post with Yamashita Jichun and others.
Captain Sato instinctively yelled, "Baga! Who are you? How dare you interfere with my command of the battle?"
Xiang Chu drew out his command knife, pointed at him and yelled, "Captain Sato! You allowed refugees to pretend to be imperial soldiers and disrupt the order of the battlefield. The Military Police Supervision Brigade is here to arrest you."
Captain Sato was only a colonel, and when he saw that the person who came was a major general, his arrogance subsided a little, but he still waved his hands and said angrily: "Supervisory team! This captain is commanding the battle and is about to break through the Chinese defenders' positions. Are you capable of wasting the opportunity?"
At this time, the loud voice of Captain Terashita rang out from outside the command post:
"Captain Sato! You're the one who asked us to do this. Please save us."
Needless to say, before entering the command post, Xiang Chu deliberately asked Yamashita Yoshixia and others to beat up the "fake devils" and let them interfere with Captain Sato.
"How dare you slander this captain!"
Captain Sato roared and rushed out angrily.
He snatched the Type 99 light machine gun from the guard at the door and fired at the "fake devils".
"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"
After he had used up all the bullets in his Type 99 light machine gun, more than half of the "fake devils" were killed.
Xiang Chu rushed out, kicked him away, and roared:
"How dare you kill someone to silence him?!"
Captain Sato fell to the ground and pulled out his pistol to shoot Xiang Chu.
"Bang!"
Xiang Chu dodged and the bullet hit Yamashita Jichun behind him.
"idiot!"
Yamashita Yoshika was so angry that he picked up the light machine gun and fired a burst of bullets at Captain Sato.
Captain Sato was beaten to a pulp and died instantly.
At this time, the radio operator in the command post was calling the entire brigade via radio:
"The captain was beaten to death! All the troops crossing the river, come and take revenge!"
"Ida! What nonsense are you talking about?"
A Japanese lieutenant colonel in the command post rushed forward and pushed the radio operator away.
However, the order had already been issued, and all the Japanese soldiers who had rushed into the Chinese army positions on the other side began to turn back and gather towards the battalion command post, showing signs of mutiny.
Xiang Chu shouted loudly: "The Military Police Supervising Team! Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes!"
The entire gendarmerie supervision brigade set up light and heavy machine guns on the river bank.
Captain Sato's trusted soldiers fired towards the command post without hesitation.
"kill!"
Xiang Chu roared.
Light and heavy machine guns opened fire fiercely, strangling the Japanese soldiers who retreated to the river.
In an instant, the water of the Huai River was dyed red by the blood of the devils, and countless corpses floated on the river.
The retreating Japanese soldiers became frightened and turned around and rushed desperately towards the Chinese army positions on the other side of the river.
Unexpectedly, the Chinese troops on the other side of the river abandoned their positions and retreated to the rear.
"Why don't you join me in strangling these devil soldiers?"
Xiang Chu was filled with hatred in his heart, and he watched helplessly as the Japanese soldiers occupied the positions on the other side of the river and cheered continuously.
At this time, Yan Junliu rushed over with a large number of Japanese soldiers.
He couldn't help but praise what he saw: "Yamashige leader! I want to commend you for your contribution."
