Chapter 537: Persistence and Hope
"Su Chengsheng, 35 years old, was once in the Special Service Company of the 11th Division of the 18th Army of the Shancheng Government. Later, he was injured in the Battle of Songhu. During his recovery, he was trapped in the Shanghai market and never returned to the army."
"He has been wandering in the public concession and the French concession areas. He is not only a fruit dealer, but also has some connection with the Qing Gang and often participates in the fight between gangs for territory."
"According to our investigation, Su Chengsheng's life has changed a lot in the past two years. I judged that he joined the underground organization of the Yama Castle Government and received funding for the activity." Ichikawa said.
The efficiency of the special high class is very high. In just two days, Su Chengsheng's general situation was found, which is also the identity information disclosed by Zhou Guojun's group.
During the Battle of August 13, the Shancheng government's army retreated hastily, and a large number of wounded people had to stay in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. They then lost contact with the army and became foreign residents in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. This is not surprising.
"His social relations and identity are the best cover for carrying out tasks. If an untrained person is to carry out surveillance tasks, the organization behind him is probably not much stronger. He is too underestimated by the agents of the Great Japanese Empire!"
"You continue to monitor and see how much the organization behind Su Chengsheng attaches importance to him, and whether it is worth it. We will use a long line to catch big fish." Nanzao Yunzi said.
The busy Shiliupu Wharf in the past seems much more desolate now. The public concession was occupied by the Japanese army, and a large number of British and American enterprises were implemented for military control or occupied by Japanese enterprises, which also led to a much lower production capacity in the entire Shanghai market.
The pier is full of local ships and Japanese ships. Although there are still a large number, there is no such lively and prosperous scene after all.
Mao Sanmu and his wife Hu Dezhen got off the ship and gave the captain a red envelope as a thank you. Because it was a ship of Huatong Trading Company, he was also treated with special preferential treatment, and the military police did not conduct detailed inspections at all.
"This Huatong Trading Company has a strong relationship in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and even the Japanese military police have to give face." Hu Dezhen whispered.
"Nothing is strange. The backstage of this company is the military police headquarters. The boss is very good at hand in the Shanghai market. Ordinary Japanese people dare not provoke him. They pick up our car." Mao Sanmu said.
A black Ford sedan was parked on the side of the road, a man wearing sunglasses and wearing a Zhongshan suit was smoking beside the car, and a ring was actually wearing a thumb. There was a book called "Talking about Yue Quan Biography" on the windshield of the car.
It was not convenient for the three of them to speak in this environment. Mao Sanmu and Hu Dezhen got into the car directly. Zhongshan suit, ring and "Shuo Yue Quan Biography" were the way to connect. They had already confirmed it through the radio station before they came to the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
The driver was Wang Fuqian, the former leader of the Fifth Operations Brigade in Shanghai, and because he had been arrested by Su Chengde, Chen Gongshu ordered him to lead the team to retreat to the suburbs in the first batch. He is currently the temporary person in charge of this group of evacuated personnel.
"How are your brothers in the state? Are there any practical difficulties?" Mao Sanmu shook hands with Wang Fuqian after getting in the car, and then said.
"Chen Gongshu and other large groups of senior executives in the first district of Shanghai have indeed had some impact on everyone's psychology. Fortunately, they do not contact each other in normal times, and their determination to fight against the Japanese and puppets has not changed."
"Our funding is seriously insufficient. The district authorities did not give much money when they retreated. Life is very difficult now. The guerrillas of the Zhongyi National Salvation Army provided some assistance, which means they could barely starve to death." Wang Fuqian said.
"I'm here, the funding is not a problem. It can be solved within a few days. Will the system of each brigade and intelligence team remain intact?" Mao Sanmu asked.
"When evacuating, the backbone personnel of various institutions were ordered to stay in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, but more than half of them were captured by the secret service headquarters. According to the instructions of the bureau headquarters, we have been assisting the guerrillas of the Zhongyi National Salvation Army during this period, and some of them have been seconded."
"There are more than 400 people, of which more than 100 are internal staff members of the offices of district agencies and subordinate agencies. The rest are temporarily organized into four operation brigades and two intelligence groups, waiting to establish an operation brigade." Wang Fuqian said.
The car came to the backyard of a grocery yard in Jinqiao Town, Chuansha County. More than 30 people were waiting for the arrival of their superiors. Sheng Zhicheng, the former leader of the Fourth Intelligence Group of Shanghai District 1, was a brother-in-law with Wang Fuqian. He was also the middle-level evacuated early and is currently the person in charge of the evacuated personnel.
"Brothers, Boss Dai decided to form the Shanghai Stock Exchange Operation Corps of the Military Control Commission on the basis of the evacuated personnel in the first district of Shanghai. The 6th continued to add new forces. Our directly subordinate department is the newly established Shanghai Stock Exchange Experimental Zone of the Military Control Commission. Everyone is familiar with the district mayor. He is Wang Yixin, the secretary of the Shanghai Stock Exchange District of the former Military Control Commission."
"Boss Dai ordered Mao Sanmu to serve as the captain of the Shanghai Market Operations Corps of the Military Affairs Bureau, Wang Fuqian served as the deputy captain, responsible for specific actions, and Sheng Zhicheng served as the secretary-general, responsible for intelligence and general affairs."
"My lover Hu Dezhen serves as the radio inspector of the Operations Corps, but he does not contact information or operations, and only does the work of collecting telegrams and assists Sheng Zhicheng in doing a good job in general affairs, especially in terms of funds."
"Brothers, Boss Dai had a teaching before I came. He would overcome all difficulties and not be afraid of sacrifice. He would let the people in the Shanghai Stock Exchange know that the Shancheng government did not give up on fighting!" Mao Sanmu stood up and said seriously.
"Abide by the command of the bureau!" Everyone stood up and said.
The bureau headquarters made arrangements for the former Shanghai-first district personnel and the arrival of the new leader also had a backbone. Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. They were really panic during this period, fearing that Chen Gongshu and others would be implicated and dragged down.
"Give everyone seven days of preparation time to deal with personal problems and prepare to participate in the battle. I have to solve the funding problems of the Operation Corps first, which will also relieve everyone's worries."
"Wang Fuqian is responsible for contacting the guerrillas of the Zhongyi National Salvation Army in the region. They are responsible for supporting guns, ammunition and explosives. Sheng Zhicheng arranged intelligence personnel to sneak into the city to rent houses and set up new lurking strongholds."
"The fighter jets are fleeting, and I will give you the most power. As long as you capture the right opportunity, you can decide to act, assassinate Japanese and puppet personnel, blow up military facilities, destroy railways, burn warehouses, etc. Don't be obsessed with the form, let's give the Japanese and puppet flowers everywhere." Mao Sanmu said.
Although more than 300 operational personnel and intelligence personnel are not as large as the 1,000-manned population at the peak of Shanghai District, there are indeed enough at this stage. The Shanghai Stock Exchange and surrounding areas are all the Japanese and puppet areas. The more people the number, the bigger the target. It is more realistic to break it into small groups to fight in groups.
Mao Sanmu also adopted the same method as Chen Gongshu. Only Wang Fuqian and Sheng Zhicheng knew about his address. In addition, there was his special internal traffic officer at the transportation station, who was responsible for contacting various brigades and intelligence groups.
