On July 26, 1938, the Battle of Lushan began.

The smug commander of the Japanese Eleventh Army, Okamura Neiji, had no idea at this time what kind of fierce resistance he would encounter in Lushan.

Previously, it was this Okamura Neiji who put forward an "unprecedented" suggestion before the outbreak of the Wuhan Defense War:

Sign a combat contract!

That's right, a combat contract that is absolutely rare in the history of Chinese and foreign wars in ancient and modern times actually happened to the arrogant Japanese army!

Before the Battle of Wuhan broke out, since the Japanese army attacked Wuhan from Nanjing mainly along the two banks of the Yangtze River to the west, fire cover and military transportation on the Yangtze River became necessary.

So how did the Japanese Army and Navy in Central China negotiate? Sign a contract!

The two military services of a country need to sign a "cooperation agreement" during combat operations, which is definitely a major "initiative".

Okamura Neiji, who first proposed this "initial initiative", explained to his immediate superior, "Commander of the Central China Dispatch Force" Shunroku Hata: Since the attack on Wuhan requires the Yangtze River waterway, the army and navy will have coordination and contact at all times, so the dispatch army should

Sign a series of agreements with the navy to ensure that the army and navy do not agree with each other in battle, otherwise there will never be peace.

Okamura Neiji's request was not groundless. In the previous battles to occupy Qingdao and Lianyungang, the Japanese army and navy had many disputes. The navy, which regarded itself highly, often made the army full of anger but helpless.

For example, when entering Qingdao, the Marine Corps took the lead and requisitioned many good buildings in the city. However, the troops of the 5th Army Division who arrived belatedly could not find a house to live in. The two sides even almost came to blows.

A fight situation.

As for Lianyungang, an important port in Jiangsu, the Army General Staff Headquarters originally planned to use the 101st Division to capture it. However, the Navy took the initiative and sent the Marine Corps to capture it, which made the Army very angry.

As for whether to attack Wuhan from North China or go west from Nanjing to the Yangtze River, the Japanese Navy, which has always been opposed to the Army, has unprecedentedly strongly supported the latter plan. Without it, if it attacks along the Yangtze River, the Navy can legitimately join in the attack.

Went in.

General Hata Shunroku believed that Okamura Neiji's suggestion was reasonable and "this is inevitable", so under the coordination and witness of representatives from the Tokyo base camp, the Central China Expeditionary Force of the Japanese Army and the 11th Army Headquarters, together with the Navy's "

A series of agreements were signed in a revolving door manner between the "Chinese Front Fleet", the "11th Team" specifically responsible for implementation, and the Army Air Force. The war can only begin after all the devils, big and small, have signed. Isn't it strange?

This "amazing" contract was originally not a glorious thing, it was classified as top secret, and it was leaked out somehow.

An American newspaper was the first to disclose it, and then newspapers of all sizes at home and abroad published this strange news.

This made the Japanese government and the army and navy lose face. While they rushed to deny it, they conducted a rigorous internal investigation to find out who had leaked the news.

Meng Shaoyuan put down the newspaper and couldn't help laughing for a long time.

Japan is such a weird country, sometimes I really don’t know what is going on in their minds.

"Boss Meng, we've docked."

Back to Shanghai.

This feels so good.

And this time I came back feeling relaxed.

All my family members were sent to Chongqing, and I no longer had any worries.

He handed the newspaper to Gan Ning: "Here, the Japanese army and navy signed a combat contract. Seize the opportunity to make a big fuss for me. The bigger the noise, the better."

"Understood. Boss Meng, please get off the boat first."

The person who came to pick up Meng Shaoyuan was still Wu Jingyi.

As soon as they got in the car, not long after the report, Meng Shaoyuan, who was originally in a good mood, gradually turned gloomy.

Kenji Doihara finally came.

Doihara Agency has officially started operation!

In fact, this has always been news that Meng Shaoyuan was reluctant to hear, although he also knew that this would happen sooner or later.

"They have already taken action against us." Wu Jingyi looked serious: "Many of our contact points have been destroyed."

"Did you fight back?"

"We have counterattacked." Wu Jingyi said: "We have also launched raids on the contact points of the Japanese army in the public concession that we have grasped. Although we have achieved certain results, the Japanese special forces at these contact points have obviously received warnings before.

Some have evacuated in advance, and some have put up fierce resistance, causing us some casualties."

"The sky has changed."

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly murmured something.

Things are going to change in Shanghai.

"Bang, bang, bang"!

Fiercely, gunfire rang out.

The driver turned a corner, stepped on the accelerator, accelerated for a distance, and at a corner, slammed on the brakes to stop the car.

"The tire was punctured." The driver was very calm: "Get out of the car!"

Almost imperative.

Meng Shaoyuan and Wu Jingyi opened the car door and rushed out at the same time.

The bullets were desperately chasing in this direction.

The driver remained calm and took out his pistol and fired back a few shots: "Cover me!"

Wu Jingyi faced the place where the gunfire came from and emptied a magazine in one breath.

Under her cover, the driver took out two submachine guns from the trunk, threw one to Wu Jingyi, and then fired out a hail of bullets.

Meng Shaoyuan lit a cigarette, as if the ongoing shootout had nothing to do with him.

The crossfire of two submachine guns quickly stopped the killer.

After a while, intensive gunshots were heard all around again.

However, this shot was aimed at the killer's position.

Military protection agents have arrived.

Obviously, the killer knew that he had lost the best opportunity to assassinate him, so he quickly evacuated the place in an orderly manner without any further entanglement.

Before he finished smoking a cigarette, the assassination crisis was averted.

"Boss Meng, the killer has escaped." Gan Ning walked over and said, "It's safe."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded and glanced at the driver: "Name."

"Wei Feng."

"Wei Feng? Majestic?"

Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "How dare you order me? You are very brave."

"Reporting to the commander, the situation was urgent at that time. My first priority was to protect the commander, and I didn't think much about anything else."

"You are brave and your driving skills are excellent. Very good." Meng Shaoyuan looked satisfied: "From now on, you are my full-time driver and your salary is doubled."

"Thank you, sir." Wei Feng didn't look happy.

They changed to another car, and Wei Feng was still driving. As soon as he got in the car, Wu Jingyi said: "It was my negligence that caused you to be in danger. I request punishment."

"It's not an assassination targeting me." Meng Shaoyuan pondered there: "If the Japanese wanted to kill me, there wouldn't be only such a little movement. Judging from the gunshots just now, there were only seven or eight assassins. Such a small amount of people would think

To get rid of me? The Japanese don't take me seriously. To target you? There are also too few people coming."

"The killer has made preparations." Wu Jingyi frowned: "But when to set off and what mission, I informed before departure. It is impossible for the Japanese to know in advance."

"Sir, I may know what's going on."

Wei Feng suddenly said.

At this time, Meng Shaoyuan and Wu Jingyi became interested at the same time: "Let's talk about it."

"It's like this, you have a habit, Assistant Wu." Wei Feng was not afraid of anything: "Every time before a mission, although you gave the order before departure, you would always go to the parking lot to check the vehicle. Often

By this time, I knew there must be a mission."

Meng Shaoyuan heard something: "You know? Did you discover this?"

"Yes, I discovered it." Wei Feng admitted frankly: "And I roughly guessed who leaked this operation."

"Tell me." Meng Shaoyuan was very interested.

"A few days ago, I found that Assistant Wu went to check the car again, so I told my good friend Lu Yuji, who lives in the same dormitory as me, to get ready and go on a mission soon. But an hour later, a mission really came.

When I returned to the dormitory in the evening, Lu Yuji asked me how I knew, and I thought it was nothing, so I told him the reason."

Meng Shaoyuan also understood after hearing this: "So, the person who betrayed the information was either Lu Yuji, or he told other people about it. As long as a breakthrough is opened from this direction, the truth can be known."

Wei Feng stopped talking.

"When did he come?" Meng Shaoyuan asked.

"It's He Ruyi who sent him from the Taihu training base." Wu Jingyi quickly responded: "I've been here for two months and is still in the assessment stage. He Ruyi's evaluation of him is, 'Good at observation, calm and composed, but disciplined

The gender is slightly worse, the upper limit is the district or station leader, and the lower limit is the squadron leader.'"

Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Wei Feng, the person in charge of the district and station, is very different from the squadron leader. Do you know why your teacher pushed your upper and lower limits so far?"

"Discipline." Wei Feng said without thinking: "The teacher's evaluation is not wrong. There is indeed a problem with my discipline. I should not tell my roommates what I found, but should report it to Assistant Wu.

"

"Wu Jingyi, what about you?" Meng Shaoyuan asked again: "The driver is an important position and has huge discipline problems. Why should he be responsible for driving?"

Wu Jingyi said calmly: "In our military commander, there are many people who obey discipline, but good observation and calmness are highly praised. There are not many such people. This cannot be cultivated, but discipline can be cultivated.

"

Meng Shaoyuan said "Yeah": "Wei Feng performed very well just now. He stayed calm in the face of danger. I have given him a double salary as a reward. But he told others about his findings without permission, which is a serious violation of discipline. I will give him a sanction."

.After going back, I will be shut up for three days, Wei Feng, and reflect on myself."

"I accept the punishment." Wei Feng drove steadily: "In these three days, I will copy the organization's discipline three hundred times."

This newcomer still has a lot of future, especially someone recommended by He Ruyi personally, who is always right.
