Jun Watanabe stood at the bow of the boat, smoking a cigar comfortably.

Jiangnan in February is still very cold. The wind blows on his face with water vapor, just like shaving with a knife. After a long time, Jun Watanabe felt his face stiff, but he did not return to the cabin.

Jun Watanabe likes this feeling very much. Although it is colder, it can make his thinking particularly clear. In this case, some questions that cannot be thought through in normal times may be understood.

In the first month of this year, the Wang Puppet Government officially planned to establish the Central Reserve Bank, and immediately established the first branch in Shanghai, and then set up branches in Wuhan, Nanchang, Jiujiang, Hefei and other places.

The Central Reserve Bank is nominally controlled by the Wang Puppet Government. The presidents of the head office and even the branches are all sent by the Wang Puppet Government. However, the real control is actually in the hands of the Japanese.

This is because the Japanese government has set up advisory groups for the headquarters of the Central Reserve Bank and even branches. For example, the head office and Shanghai branches, the advisory groups have as many as forty or fifty Japanese borrowing consultants.

The advisory group has a very great power. All personnel appointments and removals from the head office and even branches above the branch must be approved by the advisory group. Large amounts of loans exceeding a certain amount must be signed by the advisory group.

Jun Watanabe is the chief consultant of the advisory group of the Wuhan Branch that is about to be established. It is no exaggeration to say that compared to the president of the Wuhan Branch appointed by the Wang Puppet Government, Jun Watanabe is more like the president.

However, as a top student from a financial family and receiving systematic finance education in Germany, Jun Watanabe's ambition is not limited. His ultimate goal is to control the entire Japanese finance.

Not long after, it got dark, Watanabe's assistant came out of the cabin and persuaded Jun Watanabe to return to the cabin to have a meal, but Jun Watanabe refused again. He still had some questions but didn't think about them clearly, so he wanted to sort out his ideas.

The day in early spring is not long, and it quickly turns completely dark.

At this time, the gunboat happened to sail into a river beside. On the left side of the river beside is a large delta. Two small rivers flow into the Yangtze River, with yellow reeds growing in the middle. The river breeze blew and made a loud noise, which was very ugly.

A naval officer came over and said to Jun Watanabe: "Mr. Watanabe, there are often guerrilla activities here. For your safety, please go back to the cabin."

Jun Watanabe was not a militarist. He cherished his life extremely. When he heard that there were guerrilla activities nearby, he no longer dared to stay at the bow of the gunboat, and turned around and walked towards the cabin.

However, the moment he turned around, Jun Watanabe seemed to see some light flashing among the reeds in front of him, but when he looked closely, he saw nothing.

Jun Watanabe thought he was confused, so he didn't care. He followed his assistant and bent into the cabin.

Of course Jun Watanabe didn't miss it. What he had accidentally seen was the signal light emitted by the guerrillas using flashlights to contact the 5th Battalion. Because it only flashed three times and was hidden, it did not attract the attention of the Japanese naval officers and soldiers on the gunboat.

In a moment, the guerrillas received more than 20 elite troops from the 5th Battalion from the Yangtze River. Then more than 20 guerrillas worked hard to fuck the slurry, and six or seven small sampans rushed towards the middle of the river like arrows.

The location and time selected by the 5th Brigade are very particular.

The hidden location of the 67 small sampan is five miles upstream of the Delta. The river here narrows sharply, the water flows rapidly, and the sampan goes downstream. It takes only a few minutes to meet with the Japanese gunboats that cross the river.

It's time for dinner again, and most of the Japanese soldiers on the gunboat have dinner in the cabin, and the sentry left on the sentry are also absent-minded. In addition, more importantly, in order to save electricity, the searchlights on the gunboat will not be turned on so early.

If the operation goes smoothly, the 5th Battalion and the guerrillas that cooperate with the operation can continue to go downstream. Before the Japanese Navy reinforcements arrive, they enter the delta with rivers. Once they enter the delta, Japan will no longer be able to catch the guerrillas.

The entire action plan seems very simple, but in fact it was repeatedly discussed by Gao Shenxing, Li Mu, Zhou Mantian, Xiao Maque and other guerrillas, and all the factors that can be considered are taken into account.

The river surface was dim and I couldn't see anything more than ten meters away. However, the Japanese gunboat with lights shining out from the cabin was like a lighthouse, guiding the guerrilla sampan to travel accurately.

In less than a few minutes, six or seven small sampans had already met with the little Japanese gunboat in the middle of the river. In an instant, six or seven pivots had already flew out of each sampan. After a jingle, they firmly hooked the side of the little Japanese gunboat.

The Japanese sentry hidden in the shadow heard a strange noise, and soon saw six or seven small sampans that had hooked the gunboat. Without any hesitation, the Japanese soldiers standing guard pulled the plate machine.

However, due to darkness, the Japanese soldiers failed to hit the target.

When the Japanese soldier pulled the bolt and pushed the bullet into the load, he was about to continue firing the second shot, he had no chance. The gunfire and the flames bursting from the muzzle had already exposed his hiding position.

Li Mu raised his hand and shot the Japanese soldiers who shot on the spot.

The next moment, more than 20 members of the 5th Brigade jumped onto the Japanese gunboat, rushed to the front, Yan Laosi, who was dragging a grenade, pulled the fuse and threw it into the cabin door.

With a bang, the dazzling fire light sprayed out from the open hatch accompanied by the rolling smoke, and there were a lot of debris and debris in the middle. After the explosion, there was a wailing inside.

(Split Line)

Yan Sanqin walked into the office of the old Japanese devil Haneda, nodded and said, "Your Excellency Colonel, are you looking for me?"

Yan Sanquan was like a young hero who could not be beaten to death. He fell several times and got up again several times.

Last time in Hulu Valley, he not only ruined his cousin Yan Weixin and all his confidants, but later, in order to buy his life, he also spent all the money accumulated by the Yan family for generations.

However, this is still not enough to hit Yan Sanfu.

After saving his life and fleeing back to Chikou, Yan Sanquan quickly gained the trust of Haneda, who had already been transferred to the captain of Chizhou military police, and then transformed into becoming the captain of Chizhou plainclothes team again.

After all, at this stage, Japan is not enough to control the entire China, and it must rely on the power of the Chinese. Therefore, traitors who betray their ancestors like Yan Sanquan will not have to worry about finding a way out.

"Yan Sang." Haneda raised her head, looked at Yan Sanquan steadily, and said, "I want to ask you to go back to the Dragon's mouth to awaken the Silent Eagle."

"Return to Longkou?" Yan Sanquan's face changed slightly. If he had a choice, he would not want to go back to Longkou. However, the old Japanese devils had already spoken, so he was afraid he had no choice.

"Yeah." Haneda nodded and said again, "The Silent Eagle has been sleeping for a while. It's time to wake him up."

Yan Sanquan scratched his head and asked carefully: "Colonel, can you let others go? Why don't I choose someone smart from the plainclothes team?"

"I'm afraid not." Haneda shook his head and said, "You must go there in person for this matter, otherwise it will not be enough to win the trust of the Silent Eagle, and you don't have to worry about your safety. The Imperial Army has arranged a brand new cover identity for you."

Yan Sanquan could only hold his feet in front of him and responded to Hayi.

At this moment, the phone on Haneda's desk suddenly ringed.

Haneda grabbed the microphone and Masashi greeted her. Then, she didn't know what the other side said. Haneda's face turned pale and Yan Sanquan stood beside her, trembling with fear.

I am afraid that something big will happen, but something big must have happened. Yan Sanquan thought to himself.

Sure enough, Haneda put down the microphone and said, "Yansang, you don't have to go to Longkou for the time being. Hurry up and gather in the plainclothes team and follow me to Liaojiawan, where a gunboat was attacked by guerrillas."

"Guerrillas attack gunboats?" Yan Sanquan smiled in a daze, unable to believe his ears.

It is said that guerrillas attacked Japanese naval gunboats. In July of the Republic of China, the New Fourth Army water guerrillas ambushed the Japanese naval gunboats.

The New Fourth Army also killed Colonel Kato Intaro Kato, the supervisor of the Asakusa warship and the first minister of the Port Department. This caused a sensation at the time. The old devil Kato Intaro was also fortunate to become the first naval colonel to be killed on the Chinese battlefield.

However, this is just a coincidence.

In most cases, the New Fourth Army guerrillas dare not fight head-on with the gunboats of the Japanese Navy, because water guerrillas and land guerrillas are completely different concepts.

On land, the guerrillas can't beat them and just drill into the deep mountains and forests, and it's fine. But on the river surface, you can't find a place to hide, jump to the river to escape? Stop making fun of it. Jumping into the Yangtze River is simply like suicide.

What's more, the firepower of the Japanese naval gunboat is not ordinary brutal. Not only is the large caliber naval gun, but also a large number of carrier-based machine guns. The firepower intensity of a gunboat can be comparable to that of a large infantry squad.
