Chapter 468: Strike first to gain the upper hand
Shanghai, Zhabei District, Yixihuan Restaurant.
It is called a restaurant, but it is actually a brothel.
During this period, the entertainment industry in Shanghai was quite developed. After all, this place's reputation as a foreign land was well-deserved.
Whether in the concessions or the Chinese areas, the most common businesses were brothels, opium dens and gambling dens.
The reason why the Shanghai Stock Exchange can create countless myths of gold everywhere is because some people can become rich overnight here.
Of course, there are more cases where one becomes ruined and loses everything overnight.
Inside the box, Ma Yongzhen hugged the woman and drank with Gao Tianjiu and others, toasting each other and having a great time.
"Second brother, why don't you sit down? Do you look down on us?" Gao Tianjiu drunkenly pointed at Wang Jiu who was next to Ma Yongzhen.
"Brother Jiu, the brothers have spoken, you should sit down and have a drink too." Ma Yongzhen said to Wang Jiu.
"No, I promised my master before I left. I won't drink, smoke or gamble."
"Please do as you please, I'll just watch." Wang Jiu's serious answer made everyone laugh.
Fang Shijie said: "Fortunately, Brother Wang Jiu didn't say that he would give up sex, otherwise, I would have thought you came from a temple."
Ma Yongzhen waved his hand and said, "Ninth Brother is just like this, but his skills are really amazing."
"By the way, Brother Fang, did the boss agree to what I told you about those northerners last time?"
Fang Shijie was reeking of alcohol and said, "Second Brother, why don't you ask the boss about this yourself?"
Ma Yongzhen took a sip of wine and said, "Brother Fang, you know that I am now in the Green Gang, and my every move will be watched."
"It's not a big deal, how dare I go to the boss."
"Those people wanted to buy the information, but the price was not high. I was worried that my boss would think I was meddling in other people's business."
Gao Tianjiu laughed and said, "The boss is still very caring towards us. I told him about your situation, but he didn't give a definite answer."
"Some time ago, a Japanese colonel came and messed up the things that the boss was in charge of."
"He just gave me a form and asked me to take it and report it to you."
As he spoke, Gao Tianjiu took out a train schedule written in Japanese from his arms.
Ma Yongzhen looked it up and down for a long time but still couldn't understand what it meant.
"Brother Jiu, take this with you first, don't drop it."
As he spoke, Ma Yongzhen casually handed the form to Wang Jiu.
Wang Jiu took the form, and a flash of joy flashed across his eyes...
The next day, in Shanghai, at Yingchun Teahouse.
"Comrade Yunqing, you're here." In the box on the third floor, Pan Hannian saw Hu Yunqing coming and quickly stood up to greet him.
"Comrade Hannian, Haidongqing has obtained the train dispatch list."
Hu Yunqing took off his coat and said, "But it's a bit troublesome."
"what is the problem?"
"The other party has just taken over, and it is not yet certain which train it is. My advice is to strike first."
"I heard that many people in Shanghai know that the national treasure will be sent from Shanghai to Japan."
"Among them are quite a few patriots, but there are more ruffians and so-called martial arts masters who want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune."
Pan Hannian nodded and said, "Yes, money has always moved people's hearts."
"Each of these national treasures is priceless. Just taking a few of them would be enough to last a lifetime."
"With such a huge temptation, naturally some people will take risks."
"The organization's response is that we must not let the national treasures leak out. If you have any ideas, we can study them."
Hu Yunqing handed the form to Pan Hannian and said, "Now I have marked out the most likely trains."
"With our current manpower, it is impossible to take care of everyone. I would like to ask comrades from Anhui Province for help."
"These trains coming from Peking all pass through Anhui Province. I wonder if they can make the first move."
Pan Hannian nodded and said, "I will report your idea to the organization and see how to arrange it."
"That's good." Hu Yunqing took a sip of tea, picked up his clothes and said, "I'm leaving first. I'll contact you when I have news."
Anhui Province, the Red Party’s Anti-Japanese Base in Central Anhui.
This base was centered on Shucheng, Tongcheng, Lujiang and Chao County, and backed by the Dabie Mountains. It was an extremely important base newly opened up by the Red Party during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
The founder of this base was Gao Jingting, the leader of the New Army's Fourth Detachment who had been wrongly executed.
At the beginning, according to the instructions of the organization meeting,
Gao Jingting's troops were ordered to advance along the Wanshan Mountains and fight between Bengbu, Xuzhou and Hefei.
In mid-March 1938, Gao Jingting led his troops to the central and eastern Anhui regions to open up a new base.
This became the first place where the Red Party marched into the enemy's rear.
After entering eastern and central Anhui, Gao Jingting took the initiative to look for opportunities to fight. In the one year and four months before his death, his command unit fought with the Japanese and puppet troops more than 1 times.
Among them, they fought against enemy groups of more than 4 people four times and blocked local transport convoys of 80 to 500 vehicles six times.
During several operations, more than 2300 enemies were killed or wounded, including more than 1000 Japanese troops and more than 1300 puppet troops.
At the same time, a large amount of supplies were seized, and the enemy was dealt a heavy blow.
After the main force of the Red Army chose to move north, they took advantage of the opportunity when the Japanese army suffered heavy losses due to successive battles.
The central Anhui base area achieved greater development.
On the side of the railway, a group of soldiers wearing simple military uniforms and holding a variety of weapons were carefully ambushing on both sides of the road.
This is the main force of the base. In order to carry out the organization's orders, the base has invested a huge amount of money this time.
Each soldier involved in the battle was issued eight to ten bullets.
You know, in normal operations, no one usually has five bullets, and they will have more bullets during special operations.
"Are they coming?" On the side of the road, Lin Quan, the captain of the detachment in charge of this operation, held a Mauser pistol in his hand and looked in the direction of their arrival with a serious expression.
According to the combat orders issued by their superiors, they had attacked many trains within three days, but still failed to find the train that the organization said was carrying the national treasure.
Moreover, because of their frequent attacks, they have attracted the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops in the eastern Anhui region.
This is the last time. After the operation, all members must withdraw to the base.
"Here it comes, here it comes." Along with the voices of the reconnaissance team members, the sound of a train running was heard in the distance.
"Keep hidden, engineer company, blow up the railroad tracks, everyone, get ready for battle."
As orders were issued one after another, all the soldiers pulled the bolts of their guns and aimed at the slowly approaching freight train...
I'm sending someone to Hangzhou tomorrow, so I'll take a day off. If I can get back in the evening, I'll try to post a picture...
