Chapter 720 The Red Party also started selling supplies
The news that the Osaka Chamber of Commerce is going to sell its stores and warehouses spread like wildfire in the Shanghai Stock Exchange...
Chen Yang could not have imagined that Shimazu Yoshio would be so resolute. As soon as he saw that things were not going right, he immediately decided to cut off his own arm and survive.
What's more, he could not have imagined that Shimazu Yoshio would withdraw from the Shanghai Stock Exchange and go to the southwest to make plans.
That is the territory of the National Government, and the Osaka Chamber of Commerce is Japanese.
Of course, Chen Yang also had to admire Shimazu Yoshio's idea. At this time, he had such courage. This vice president was indeed much better than Yamamoto Yoshisaburo.
At least he knows how to write the four words "able to bend and stretch".
Even if Yoshisaburo Yamamoto had half of his wisdom, he would not have committed suicide just because of Chen Yang's words "A world where people eat each other is not suitable for you".
If it were Shimazu Yoshio, he would just smile indifferently, keep these words in mind, and wait for the right time to say them back.
That's the difference between people.
Shanghai Stock Exchange, Meihua Building, Joint Transport Department.
Chen Yang sat behind his desk, holding the phone in one hand and a cigarette in the other, listening to Gao Tianjiu opposite him reporting on the acquisition.
"Boss, we have taken over most of the material warehouses and stores of the Osaka Chamber of Commerce."
"Right now, two shops in the International Settlement were snatched away by a group of people from the north, and the remaining marginal areas were divided up by the five major commercial companies."
"The rest is ours. Mr. Ino has already deposited the deposit into the account. We will discuss the specific business matters with him later."
Chen Yang was a little surprised. The locations of the two shops in the International Settlement were very good, and the prices were even better.
According to his calculations, no one would compete with him for it.
Of course, he is doing so many things now, also wanting to whitewash Xiaotongqiao step by step.
He has always had a cooperative relationship with the five major trading companies, but this cooperation cannot continue forever.
We went through so much trouble to seize the sales network of the Osaka Chamber of Commerce, not just to give the big five businesses a bargain.
He had his own plans, and no matter what, he wanted to prepare an alternative path for his brothers.
Chen Yang put out the cigarette in his hand and said slowly: "Old Nine, those two berths are good locations for moving supplies. They are less than two kilometers away from the material warehouse in southern Shanghai. A little further north, there are all dock warehouses."
"If they're not dealing in supplies, then they're of no use at all?"
"We are the ones who are handling all the supplies for the entire Shanghai market. Who is the one who is interfering in this?"
Gao Tianjiu was silent for a moment, but still gave a name.
Chen Yang was stunned when he heard this. This was an acquaintance.
The name Gao Tianjiu reported was none other than Tang Xin, codenamed Qilin.
By the way, why did the Red Party suddenly start doing supplies business?
This requires us to complain about the commander of the North China Front Army, the most stubborn commander in the history of the Japanese army, Tada Shun.
Since the great raid campaign began on August 20, 1940, Tada Shun finally realized the consequences of having poor interpersonal relationships.
More than 100 regiments of the Red Party attacked from all sides, quickly expanding the battle from both sides of the Zhengtai Line to a larger area.
In these battles, the Red Party changed its previous combat attitude and was almost unsparing, using all the weapons it could.
In particular, various homemade "heartless cannons" are everywhere.
The explosive packs no longer had to be held by people as before, crawling little by little towards the bunkers of the Japanese and puppet troops. Instead, they could be thrown directly at them from a distance of one or two hundred meters, and almost every hit was accurate.
This thing is specifically designed to attack bunkers and pillboxes. Once the outer perimeter is blown up, the inside will be shattered. Unless it is made of reinforced concrete, ordinary pillboxes and fortifications can't resist it at all. A few explosives surround and bombard it, and it will be done in a few hits...
The most disgusting thing is that under this kind of tactical impact, people will die faster if they stay inside the bunker than if they stay outside.
This simple artillery can even take out the Japanese's thin-skinned tanks...
The large-scale use of "unscrupulous cannons" is just a small microcosm of this battle.
After this battle, the Red Party seized a huge amount of spoils. Not only did the troops quickly get a large-scale replacement of their equipment, but the various supplies they had also increased dramatically. We can't say that we have escaped poverty and become rich, but we are much richer than before.
Faced with the almost all-round attack from the Red Party army, the Chief of Staff of the Japanese North China Front Army, Yukio Kasahara, who stayed in Beijing to command the battle, was somewhat overwhelmed.
It’s not that his level is not good enough, the key is that he doesn’t have enough troops.
North China is so vast. In order to control the newly occupied North China, nearly half of the expeditionary army’s troops were sent here.
Although there were reinforcements from puppet troops, except for a small number, the combat effectiveness of most of the puppet troops was even lower than that of the bandits who occupied the mountains and acted as kings, and they could only deal with ordinary people.
So, Yukio Kasahara felt like an old fisherman in Hokkaido, using a giant net that could catch whales to deal with a large school of tiny sardines.
Letters of emergency were constantly sent back to the headquarters, and Tada Shun was also overwhelmed when looking at the devastated battlefield in North China.
After many days of thinking and shamelessly seeking help from all sides, Tada Shun finally gathered 100,000 troops and began to prepare for a counterattack plan.
Faced with the humiliation inflicted by the Red Party, this time, he was almost driven crazy.
He personally gave orders, asking his troops to force the common people to pass through various passes in North China.
It is undeniable that this trick is very shameless, but we have to admit that it is very practical.
Faced with such a shameless tactic, the Soviet bombers flying over the Japanese army had no choice but to abandon their bombing missions.
For a time, the battlefield in North China became lively again.
In order to replenish the consumption as quickly as possible, the Red Party planned to sell the supplies in their hands on the market and exchange them for weapons to supplement the rear.
Originally, it didn't need to be so troublesome, as Xiaotongqiao had a large amount of ammunition to replenish.
However, the last time Chief of Staff Qingshui went to Shanghai and made a scene, everyone knew that it was Chen Yang who sold weapons to the Red Party, but no one said anything.
General Nishio only symbolically told him to be careful and not to be caught by others.
Therefore, even though the Red Party came to his door several times to make demands, Gao Tianjiu could only grit his teeth and say he would not sell it.
There was no other way. They couldn't force the sale, so they had to try another approach and find new sellers by selling the supplies in the Shanghai market.
After understanding the whole story, Chen Yang could only smile helplessly.
Those two shops were really nothing to him, but the Red Party was too bold.
This Qilin has been exposed more than once. Last time, Li Qun didn't dare to touch her because he had no idea whether she had any relationship with Chen Yang.
If Chen Yang had no intention of having any involvement with the other party, Li Qun would definitely jump out and arrest him and put him in Cell 76.
"Knock, knock, knock." Before she could finish her thoughts, there was a knock on the door. He Yuehua pushed open the door of the office and said, "Director, there is a lady outside looking for you."
"She said you invited her to your office for coffee."
