Chapter 316 The God of Wealth is coming(1/2)
Meng Shaoyuan brought back extremely important information.
And it's within the specified time.
However, it is obvious that Huo Kuizhang, commander of the 14th Division, could not fully believe the intelligence report that the Japanese defenses north of Luodian were empty.
The attack was imminent. After urgent consultation with Chief of Staff Guo Rugui, they decided to adopt two attack plans.
The 83rd Regiment launched a frontal attack, and the 79th Regiment detoured back to the north of Luodian according to the intelligence and attack route provided by Meng Shaoyuan.
After dark, the 14th Division, which was fully prepared, launched an all-out attack on Luodian with two main regiments.
At the same time, the 11th Division and the 67th Division will also cooperate in the attack at the same time.
The battle to retake Luodian begins.
Gao Kuiyuan, commander of the 83rd Regiment, who was responsible for the main frontal attack, commanded the troops to launch the attack. Because the troops had just arrived in Shanghai and the terrain was unfamiliar, they were blocked by a small river not far away. They finally found a small bridge across the river, but unexpectedly the Japanese army
Waiting by the bridge.
The Chinese troops were in the open, and the Japanese troops hiding in the dark fired at the Chinese troops with machine guns. Many officers and soldiers fell to the enemy's guns before they could figure out what was going on.
The 83rd Regiment was blocked by the bridge and could not approach Luodian.
At the same time, the 79th Regiment began to attack in a roundabout way according to the intelligence.
The intelligence and route provided by Meng Shaoyuan were very accurate. The 79th Regiment successfully detoured back to the enemy's rear, rushed into the enemy's station north of Luodian, killed two Japanese commanders, and seized a large number of guns and ammunition.
The 11th Division advanced rapidly and, with the cooperation of the 79th Regiment, completely controlled the north of Luodian. The 67th Division also occupied Luodian, and Luodian returned to the hands of the Chinese army.
Military agents once again played a huge role in the battle to retake Luodian.
Meng Shaoyuan, who had made outstanding achievements in this battle, quietly returned to the public concession.
Because, he received a secret message that Dai Li personally passed to him:
Japan's ace agent "Venom" is about to arrive in Shanghai.
Kingsman?
Poisonous snake?
Holy shit!
The God of Wealth is here!
Meng Shaoyuan finally remembered this so-called Japanese ace agent "Venomous Snake"!
This is going to make a fucking fortune, and a big fortune!
In his time, countless film and television works always portrayed how magical and capable Japanese agents were, as if they could do anything in heaven or on earth.
In fact, after Akashi Genjiro, the "God of Japanese Agents" during the Russo-Japanese War, Japan has not produced many decent agents.
Even Akashi Genjiro, his greatest skill is spending money.
Spend a lot of money. Spend money on the revolutionary party to make a revolution, and spend money on the soldiers to make a mutiny. In short, it will keep Russia in trouble and make the tsar have no time to visit.
He opened his mouth and asked the Japanese military department for 1 million yen.
The total military expenditure of the Japanese army is only 3 million, and Akashi just opened his mouth to get 1 million. This is not an international joke! If the military department has no money, it can only think of other ways.
He discovered that European roulette seemed to have certain mathematical rules to follow. So he rushed into the casino with his savings. Unexpectedly, he was able to raise some funds with his mathematical talent.
There are only two people in the Japanese army who can rely on mathematical calculations to conquer casinos. The other one is the Navy's "God of War" Yamamoto Isoroku, who once claimed that he could help the Japanese army win a battleship in the casino.
Akashi used the gambling money to buy guns and ammunition from German arms dealers, and gave them free of charge to the Russian Revolutionary Party, the Caucasus Rebels, Polish nationalists and Finnish independents.
The more they caused trouble in Tsarist Russia, the more likely the Japanese army in the Far East would win. After seeing the effectiveness of Akashi's money-spreading plan, the Japanese military became extremely generous.
Of the 3 million military expenditures, Akashi alone spent nearly 1.5 million.
The final result was that the Czar watched helplessly as the Russian army in the Far East collapsed, but did not dare to transfer Europe's elite eastward. After the war, Akashi Genjiro was ordered to return to his country and was soon promoted to general.
He wrote his experience of causing trouble for Lao Maozi into the "Insurrection Guide" and it became a required course for Japanese spies.
Although he did a good job, throughout his entire spy career, Akashi Genjiro relied on constantly spending money, spending money, and spending money. As a result, he became the "God of Japanese Agents" by spending money.
Fucking, shitty agent god.
The only thing about him that Meng Shaoyuan admired was his gambling skills.
After that, the Japanese secret service rarely had outstanding achievements.
For example, looking at the entire Battle of Songhu, in the early stage, the Chinese side quietly transported the main force into Shanghai and pretended to be a security team, while the Japanese special agencies were almost unaware of it.
In the mid-term, the Japanese special agencies seemed to be completely blind to China's strong determination to resist, as well as various troop movements and military deployments.
Those omnipotent Japanese agents... Bah!
There was even a time when Japanese agents were forced by military agents in Shanghai's public concessions to the point where they could no longer stand.
Only later, when Doihara Kenji reorganized the Shanghai agency and Li Shiqun and other big traitors joined in, did the Japanese special agency finally reverse its passive situation.
The same is true for the so-called ace agent "Venom".
In his own time, Meng Shaoyuan heard his friend Xiao Yan say that Dai Li was bad and bad. After fully grasping the movements of the "Poisonous Snake", he constantly provided false information to the "Poisonous Snake" and then set up a trap:
He actually defrauded "Venomous Snake" of four million yen!
What an astonishing number this is?
This "ace agent" later went to Guangzhou and prepared to instigate Li Fulin's ministry. As a result, Li Fulin became even worse. He pretended to surrender and defrauded a large amount of weapons and money from Shitaka Kusumoto, and also provided a large amount of false information.
When the Japanese "Zhangwu Team" attacked Humen, they were almost wiped out because of these false intelligences.
Since then, Japan's ace agent "Venom" has been permanently transferred out of the intelligence community.
The name of this poisonous snake is Kusumoto Shitaka!
Thank you Japanese agents.
Thank you Mr. Dai.
Dai Li's order was to let Meng Shaoyuan kill Kusumoto Shitaka in Shanghai to avenge the death of the Chinese agent.
Shitaka Kusunoki has been active in North China, Inner Mongolia, Northeast China and other places for a long time. He is a well-known China hand. He once killed dozens of Chinese agents. The nickname "Viper" was given to him by the Chinese.
Kill Kusumoto Shitaka?
Just kidding, just kidding.
He is a treasure worth four million!
You, Mr. Dai, discovered that he was actually a fool, so you changed your assassination plan and made a fortune.
But now history has quietly changed.
Meng Shao is here!
The assassination mission was handed over to your Master Meng. More importantly, Dai Li gave Meng Shaoyuan full responsibility for the matter.
If Master Meng doesn't make enough money, he will never stop.
Four million? No, too little!
If you don't get a lot of fat, the sky will be dark and the earth will be dark, this matter will not be over!
Master Meng rushed out of the office and lit three sticks of incense in front of the statue of Mr. Guan placed there, praying again and again.
"What's going on?"
Wu Jingyi and a left-behind person did not know why.
"Quickly, Assistant Wu, and whoever else, come and pay homage to the God of Wealth... No, Master Guan!"
Meng Shaoyuan refused to argue and forced them to worship Mr. Guan.
"No, Director Meng, what is going on?"
"What's the matter? What a great thing!" Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "Have you ever seen the God of Wealth? The real God of Wealth?"
Wu Jingyi and the agents who stayed behind shook their heads in confusion.
"I'll see you soon. Anyway, I'm about to see you."
…
"According to the intelligence we have, the 'Venomous Snake' came to Shanghai with the purpose of stealing the Chinese command's strategy and deployment for the war against Japan."
Wu Jingyihui reported: "The inside line we deployed to the Japanese reported back. After the war in Songhu began, the Chairman quietly adjusted his combat strategy against Japan, shifting the battlefield from north to south, and establishing a new battlefield in Shanghai.
Hundreds of thousands of troops from our army rushed to Shanghai day and night. They included the Central Army and armed warlords from all over the country. They united in an unprecedented way for the sake of national justice.
The Songhu battlefield has fallen into a state of anxiety, which makes the Japanese army, which hopes for a quick solution to the Shanghai problem, extremely anxious. They urgently need to understand China's attitude and military strategy. This is the purpose of this trip, nicknamed Kusunoki Shitaka."
Meng Shaoyuan's mind was not on this at all. He was carefully conceiving a shocking fraud plan.
Probably the biggest fraud scheme of this era!
Well, combined with the plan that Dai Li had implemented that I heard from Little Glasses, I would complete it myself and try my best to make this plan watertight and perfect.
Meng Shaoyuan also set a "small goal" for himself:
Minimum 5 million yen! No upper limit.
To be continued...
