"How capable is Wang Hengyi?" Cheng Qianfan asked the two after taking a sip of tea.
"Although it seems now that Wang Hengyi was able to be promoted step by step and was eventually appointed as the captain of the Hangzhou Station Special Operations Team, this was due to the support and cooperation of the Japanese." Sheng Shuyu thought for a while and said, "However, this person himself is also capable."
"That's right." Cheng Qianfan nodded. "Du Ziyin and Liu Yangji are originally Wang Hengyi's subordinates. These two brothers have already registered with the Japanese. They are not suitable to stay with the main force."
He thought about it and said, "Well, you can assign brothers Du Ziyin and Liu Yangji to Wang Hengyi. In this way, Wang Hengyi will have a nearly full special operations team."
"I understand your idea." Sheng Shuyu nodded and said, "Then I can entrust Wang Hengyi with an important task and assign him part of the task of assassinating Gangcun."
"This is a good idea." Song Fuguo nodded slightly. "On the one hand, it can eliminate hidden dangers, and on the other hand, it can also deepen the inducement of the enemy."
"I have arranged for my men to investigate Qimin Hospital and find relevant information about the treatment of Gangcun's son in Qimin Hospital." Cheng Qianfan said, "You can inform Wang Hengyi of the relevant information and situation and order him to keep an eye on Qimin Hospital."
"When the time is right, you can arrange for someone to secretly report to the police station." He chuckled and said, "Leave the rest to me."
"Do you want to use this method to promptly discover the 'assassination plot' against Gangcun, and then use it as an excuse to get close to Ping Chongyangyi?" Song Fuguo thought about it, understood Cheng Qianfan's plan, and asked.
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded. "It's related to the safety of Gang Village. I informed Ping Chongyang immediately. This is reasonable."
"There is a problem. Wang Hengyi was arrested, but what about his brothers?" Sheng Shuyu asked.
Although Wang Hengyi has problems, those brothers are innocent and loyal to the party and the country.
"Among Wang Hengyi's troops, it is possible that some of them may have been dragged down by Wang Hengyi." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully, "Of course, the vast majority of the brothers should be fine."
He glanced at Sheng Shuyu and said, "In this way, Wang Hengyi will be secretly arrested by the police station, and you will take those brothers away in time and properly place them."
"Okay." Sheng Shuyu nodded. "I'll arrange for Li Jinhao to secretly monitor Wang Hengyi's troops. Once Wang Hengyi is arrested by the police station, Li Jinhao will promptly warn and bring him out."
……
"It is extremely difficult to assassinate Gangcun, so Gangcun is just a cover to attract the enemy's attention." Song Fuguo said thoughtfully, "Then, who is our real target?"
"I provide three targets here for you to choose from," said Cheng Qianfan.
"Tell me about it." Song Fuguo nodded and said, "You are now the local boss in Shanghai and you know the situation here best."
"Nishimura Ozo of the Nishimura Special Agent Squad of the Japanese Army in Shanghai."
"Nishimura Ozo?" Song Fuguo pondered.
Of course, he knew something about Nishimura Ban and Nishimura Ozo.
In fact, the Xicun Class existed before the fall of Shanghai. This spy class sent instructors to various parts of Shanghai to engage in activities such as bribing and dividing the military and political personnel of the Kuomintang government and assassinating anti-Japanese patriots.
When Song Fuguo was working at the Shanghai Station of the Secret Service, he had a fight with the Xicun class.
After the fall of Shanghai, the Xicun class supported Su Wenxi to establish the pseudo Shanghai Municipal Avenue Government and actually controlled the pseudo government, as well as the subsequent Municipal Supervisory Office, now the Shanghai Special Government, including the district governments under its jurisdiction, and its public name is the "Municipal Government Advisory Department."
"It can be listed as one of the target options." Song Fuguo nodded slightly.
"What else?" Sheng Shuyu asked.
"Junichiro Ikeuchi, the commander of the Japanese military police in Shanghai." Cheng Qianfan said, "However, although it is not as difficult as assassinating Gangcun, it is not easy either."
"Who is the other target?" Sheng Shuyu asked with a frown.
"The third one is Seiichiro Toda, the major general and commander of the newly formed 5th Reserve Brigade of the Japanese Army." Cheng Qianfan said.
After saying that, he looked at the two of them and said, "We can discuss these three goals."
……
"Junichiro Ikeuchi!" Sheng Shuyu said directly, "Gangcun is not easy to kill. If we can kill Junichiro Ikeuchi, it will be worth the trip."
Then he asked Cheng Qianfan, "Gangcun stopped in Shanghai secretly, so his whereabouts are hard to track. Is it possible for you to track down Junichiro Ikeuchi's whereabouts?"
"Although it is still difficult, it is not impossible." Cheng Qianfan nodded.
"Then I choose Junichiro Ikeuchi." Sheng Shuyu said.
The reason why he chose Junichiro Ikeuchi is the simplest and most direct:
Junichiro Ikeuchi had the highest military rank. Compared with Junichiro Ikeuchi, the Japanese military police general, neither Nishimura Ozo nor the Japanese reserve general Toda Seiichiro was in his eyes.
"It's not easy to take action against Junichiro Ikeuchi." Song Fuguo said after thinking.
He looked at the two of them, "My suggestion is to choose between Nishimura Ozo and Toda Seiichiro."
Song Fuguo said, "Nishimura Ozo's Nishimura Squad poses a considerable threat to us. Although Nishimura Ozo's military rank is not high, he is definitely a heavyweight target."
"As for Toda Seiichiro," Song Fuguo paused for a moment, and asked Cheng Qianfan, "How did this person come into your sight and be chosen by you?"
Song Fuguo was very curious, "Have you been watching this person for a long time?"
Although Toda Seiichirō was also a Japanese general, he was the general of a reserve brigade, not a regular division (brigade). If Cheng Qianfan hadn't mentioned this person, Song Fuguo and Sheng Shuyu wouldn't have known about this Japanese general.
"We are indeed keeping an eye on Toda Seiichiro, but we are not focusing only on him." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "I am more or less keeping an eye on the high-ranking Japanese generals in Shanghai, and I have some information on them."
……
Cheng Qianfan took a sip of tea and continued, "There are two considerations for choosing Toda Seiichiro."
"First, Toda Seiichiro's status is not as prominent as that of other generals of the Japanese Army's regular divisions and brigades. Generally speaking, they would not think that we would assassinate him."
"Secondly, Toda Seiichiro is lucky. According to the information we have, the day after tomorrow is Toda Seiichiro's birthday. This person is greedy by nature. On that day, he will use the name of celebrating his birthday to hold a banquet for guests and make a lot of money." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Celebrating birthdays and holding a banquet for guests?" Song Fuguo's spirits perked up. "So, there will be many Japanese soldiers and traitors present?"
"Of course." Cheng Qianfan smiled slightly, "It's just right to cook it all in one pot."
Song Fuguo nodded, and he and Cheng Qianfan looked at Sheng Shuyu.
"Although the target is of high status, he is not very noticeable. We can catch the enemy off guard." Sheng Shuyu pondered and said, "And we hope to catch a lot of fish in one go."
He flicked the ash off his cigarette and said, "Okay."
The three reached a consensus on the action goal. Cheng Qianfan smiled with satisfaction. He lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and said, "Toda Seiichiro was previously in the 114th Division of the Japanese Army."
As soon as these words came out, Song Fuguo and Sheng Shuyu's faces changed.
"The Toda Regiment of the 114th Division?" Sheng Shuyu asked gritting his teeth.
"It's this person." Cheng Qianfan nodded.
"That's him!" Sheng Shuyu said murderously, "If I can't get rid of this beast this time, I'd rather kill myself!"
In October of the 26th year of the Republic of China, the Japanese Army Headquarters expanded the 114th Division in Uto, Japan based on the reserve personnel of the 14th Division, and then went to China and was incorporated into the combat sequence of the 10th Army.
During the Battle of Nanjing, the Japanese Central China Front Army launched a general offensive against Nanjing, and the 114th Division attacked from the directions of Moling Pass, Fangshan, Yuhuatai, and Zhonghuamen.
On the 13th, the 114th Division broke through the Zhonghua Gate and subsequently carried out an inhumane massacre.
According to information later obtained by the Military Intelligence Bureau, the division stabbed nearly 2,000 unarmed KMT wounded and prisoners of war with bayonets that day alone. Afterwards, it massacred tens of thousands of civilians like beasts, committing an unforgivable crime!
In 1938, the division was transferred to the direct command of the North China Front Army and participated in the Battle of Xuzhou.
In July last year, the 114th Division was ordered by the Japanese Imperial Headquarters to return home for rest and recuperation. In August, the 114th Division was disbanded.
However, it was unexpected that although the 114th Division was disbanded, the commander of its Toda Regiment, Seiichiro Toda, was still in China and was promoted to major general and commander of the newly formed 5th Reserve Brigade of the Japanese Army, and was stationed in Shanghai.
"Well said!" Cheng Qianfan clapped his hands and said, "I swear to kill this beast!"
"Then let's reach a final decision." Song Fuguo looked around at the two of them, "Kill Toda Seiichiro at all costs!"
Cheng Qianfan and Sheng Shuyu looked at each other and nodded solemnly.
Dai Chunfeng's telegram allowed them to act at their own opportunity, but the three frontline workers in Shanghai used the words "at all costs" when deciding on the action.
"Let me tell you about the specific arrangements." Cheng Qianfan flicked the ash off his cigarette and then put it out. "If there are any deficiencies, the old commander and Brother Sheng will help me fill in the gaps."
……
Gowen Road.
Tyumen hotels.
"Team leader, all the brothers are settled." Si Qijun came in to report to Wang Hengyi.
There were a total of eight people who followed Wang Hengyi to Shanghai this time, and they booked three rooms at the Qiumin Hotel.
Wang Hengyi looked tired, with four or five cigarette butts thrown on the ground.
"I'm going to go out and try to get in touch with Chief Sheng and the others as soon as possible," Wang Hengyi said. He told Si Qijun, "Tell the brothers to stay in their rooms and don't go out unless necessary."
His expression was serious. "The struggle situation in Shanghai is even more severe than that in Hangzhou. We must not be careless."
"I understand." Si Qijun nodded seriously.
He thought about it and asked Wang Hengyi, "Team leader, it's not safe for you to be alone, do you want to bring a brother with you?"
"No need." Wang Hengyi shook his head. "There are too many people and two grown men will easily arouse suspicion."
"I see." Si Qijun thought about it carefully and realized that what the team leader said made sense.
……
Half an hour later, Wang Hengyi arrived near a telegraph office on Qiuwen Road.
He first looked around vigilantly, then lit a cigarette and walked to the window with the cigarette in his mouth.
"I need a phone call." Wang Hengyi handed over two bills, lowered the brim of his hat, and said in a hoarse voice, "Excuse me, step aside for a moment."
The staff at the telegraph office took a look at the banknotes and knew that one of them was for him. A smile appeared on his originally impatient face, and he took the banknotes and left the telegraph office.
"I want Haomin Commercial Bank at 103 Xiafei Road." Wang Hengyi took a look and saw that the staff at the telegraph office had indeed left, so he drew lots for the phone number.
The call will be connected soon.
"Hello, I'm looking for Boss Zhao. Yes, Boss Zhao Risheng." Wang Hengyi said.
"I'm from Hangzhou, my last name is Wang."
"Okay, Yilin Cheese Shop, the innermost seat on the north side, I got it." Wang Hengyi hung up the phone.
He looked around vigilantly, lowered the brim of his hat, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
……
Shanghai Special High Section.
Jingle Bell.
The phone in the office of the Special High Section Operations Team Captain rang.
"Moshimoshi." Araki Harima picked up the phone.
"Captain, Wang Hengyi has arrived in Shanghai. He contacted us on his own initiative. I have made an appointment with Wang Hengyi to meet at Yilin Cheese Shop as planned."
"Very good." Araki Harima nodded, "But you see..."
But he suddenly changed his mind and said, "I will go and meet this person in person."
"Hay."
……
At the door of Yilin Cheese Shop, Wang Hengyi looked around, his eyes sweeping over the bustling crowd on the street. He lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and pushed open the door of the shop with the cigarette in his mouth.
He stood at the door and looked around. He saw that someone was already sitting at the window seat on the northernmost side. The other person looked up at him and nodded slightly.
Wang Hengyi quickly put out the cigarette in an ashtray on an empty table and then walked inside.
"Is that Boss Zhao Risheng?" Wang Hengyi asked with a smile.
"Mr. Wang from Hangzhou?" Araki Harima glanced at Wang Hengyi and said.
"It's me." Wang Hengyi was overjoyed. He took off his hat, bowed slightly, and then sat down.
Araki Harima looked at Wang Hengyi, his hands did not stop, and he gently stirred the coffee spoon.
"Mr. Wang, you are late." Araki Harima snorted coldly.
"Please forgive me, Mr. Zhao. I am not familiar with the streets of Shanghai, so I am late." Wang Hengyi quickly explained.
"Are you not familiar with the road conditions? Can't you call a rickshaw?" Araki Harima frowned and asked.
"You got it wrong." Wang Hengyi said with a wry smile, "Boss Zhao was talking about Yilin Cheese Shop. I heard it as Yilin Cheese Shop, Yi as in "意" and Yi as in "安逸"."
"Damn it!" Araki Harima cursed, and it was unclear whether he was scolding his subordinate for not reporting carefully enough on the phone, or scolding Wang Hengyi for not asking clearly.
