Chapter 391 Intelligence Feedback
Li Hao drove Cheng Qianfan home.
“Brother Fan, isn’t the 903 warehouse our own warehouse?” Li Hao asked.
Li Hao is naturally aware of the relationship between Baffin & Company and Brother Fan’s Jiujiu Trading Company.
"Haozi, if you don't know about this and you heard that someone robbed our goods, what do you think? What should we do?" Cheng Qianfan did not answer him, but asked slowly.
“Kill them.” Li Hao gritted his teeth and said.
“Isn’t that right?” Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, stroking his hands.
Grab your own warehouse.
Cheng Qianfan will not suffer any loss, and Baffin Matheson dare not not compensate him.
At the same time, you can use the side door of Baffin Bank's warehouse to raid the Japanese warehouse.
This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone.
On the surface, it is indeed just that.
…
Cheng Qianfan’s current sphere of influence is mainly in the central area of the French Concession. He has always wanted to further expand his sphere of influence, and his top priority is to get involved in the Mailan District.
reason?
Mailan District and the Eastern District are bordered by the old county seat and across the river from the rest of the Chinese community. They are important checkpoints for communication with the Chinese community.
Once Shanghai falls and the Chinese border becomes an occupied area occupied by the Japanese, the important role of Mailan District and East District will become even more prominent.
Among them, Mailan District borders the old county town of Shanghai, is across the river from the Chinese border, is connected to Xiafei District and the East District, and borders the British and American Public Settlement.
In addition, Pier 2 area is in Mailan District.
Once Shanghai fell, the most important communication channel between the concession and the outside world and the channel for material exchange was water transportation.
This is particularly important.
Therefore, in Cheng Qianfan’s eyes, Mailan District is too important in the increasingly severe struggle situation in the future.
His goods were robbed at the wharf in Mailan District.
Neither Cheng Qianfan nor Peter will give up.
This incident will become an excuse for Inspector Xiao Cheng’s forces to infiltrate into Mailan District.
This is the third strategy of killing three birds with one stone.
…
“Be careful when driving on the road.” Cheng Qianfan got out of the car and warned Li Hao.
“Brother Fan, do you want me to take you to your door?” Li Hao asked.
“No need, it’s a matter of two steps.” Cheng Qianfan said.
He stood on the roadside, lit a cigarette, watched Li Hao drive away, took a deep breath of cigarette, but was choked and coughed repeatedly.
Cheng Qianfan’s home is in Yandeli, and his current location is Lai Sangu Lane.
Go a few dozen steps ahead from Sangu Lane and turn into Yandeli.
The time is now a quarter past nine in the evening. Most of the houses have turned off their lights and everything is quiet.
Cheng Qianfan was walking leisurely in Laisangu Lane.
He glanced seemingly casually at Lai Sangu No. 11, who was a dozen or so steps ahead.
This is a house next to a garbage dump. In summer, it exudes an unpleasant stench. Citizens passing by want to block their mouths and noses completely.
There was a war in Shanghai, and the landlord Feng Asan took his mother-in-law to Nanjing, so the house was temporarily vacant.
Passing by the door of the house, Cheng Qianfan glanced around alertly, picked up the brass lock of the door and touched it, frowning.
With a twist, the copper lock opened. Cheng Qianfan shook his head, and a wire appeared in his palm. He fiddled with it twice before locking the copper lock.
…
Cheng Qianfan continued to walk for more than twenty steps, turned into Yandeli, walked for another two or three minutes, and knocked on his door.
At this moment, the lights came on at the neighbor’s house next door.
"Why are you drinking so much again?" Bai Ruolan couldn't help complaining.
“It’s just for socializing.” Cheng Qianfan yawned and said.
The door was quickly closed.
Cheng Qianfan winked at his wife, meaning to praise her reaction.
“Is Xiaobao feeling better?” Cheng Qianfan asked softly.
Xiaobao has a cold.
"The fever is gone." Bai Ruolan poured her husband a glass of cold water. "During dinner, my daughter kept saying that you haven't been home for several days."
“I’ll try my best tomorrow.” Cheng Qianfan drank half a glass of water, said with a smile, kissed his wife’s forehead, and pointed to his study room on the second floor, “I want to go out for a while.”
"Be careful." Bai Ruolan said softly, trying not to let Cheng Qianfan see the worry in her eyes.
“I understand.” Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
Watching her husband go up the stairs, with gentle steps in order not to wake Xiaobao up, Bai Ruolan's eyes were full of love.
Soon, she heard the sound of the study door opening and closing gently.
…
Bai Ruolan's delicate and beautiful face showed a trace of worry.
She put away the teacup on the table, thought for a moment and took out a small wine jug from the cupboard, filled the wine bucket with rice wine, prepared a stack of salt-fried peanuts, and went up to the study on the second floor.
Cheng Qianfan is no longer in the study.
The cat was lying on Cheng Qianfan's bed. He looked up lazily at the hostess, seemed to yawn, and then continued to sleep.
Bai Ruolan pursed her lips and smiled, then placed the wine bottle and peanuts on the desk.
Close the door and leave.
Her husband did not smell of alcohol. She had just said in a hurry that Cheng Qianfan was drinking. This loophole needed to be filled.
…
Cheng Qianfan climbed out of the second floor window.
With a few dexterous movements, he climbed over and fell gently, disappearing into the night.
A few minutes later.
Arriving at the back door of No. 11 Lai San Gu Lane, Cheng Qianfan took a running start and climbed up to the second floor lightly.
He did not move immediately, but waited for half a minute before ducking to the second floor and gently knocking on the window.
Peng, Ou and Cheng Qianfan looked at each other through the window.
The window is open.
Cheng Qianfan climbed through the window and entered the house.
Peng and Ou put away the Webley Corto revolver they were carrying.
The two people did not turn on the light, so they talked in the dark.
…
“The target is determined to be the 903 warehouse of Mitsubishi Corporation at Mailan Wharf.” Cheng Qianfan said.
He briefly introduced the action plan.
“Enter from Baffin & Co.’s warehouse, and then capture Mitsubishi’s warehouse by surprise.”
"Isn't Baffin's the same company as Peter's father-in-law?" Peng and Ou asked in surprise.
Peng and Ou were shocked to hear that Cheng Qianfan had arranged to rob their warehouse.
"That's right." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "That's exactly what I want to say."
"In the cargo hold of Baffin Company, there are medicines, a large amount of medical sanitary napkins, gauze, bandages, straps, and medical alcohol. In addition, there are military uniforms, military boots, blankets, compressed biscuits, cans, and military kettles from two Annan infantry battalions. Wait for the equipment.”
Every time Cheng Qianfan said something, Peng and Ou's eyes became brighter and brighter.
“The other part is red wine and cigarettes.” Cheng Qianfan continued.
"Following my instructions, my men will move and hide the supplies as much as possible. Of course, some of the medicines and medical supplies will be transported to the other side to support the national army." Cheng Qianfan said.
“Medicine and other supplies can be transported away as much as possible. The military equipment of the Annan Infantry Battalion cannot be used by the national army.” Cheng Qianfan said, “This can be transported away as much as possible during the chaos.”
Among the coolies and transport fishermen found by Jiang Mulezi, Peng and Ou will arrange for their own people to infiltrate them and take advantage of the chaos to transport some supplies:
Because the purpose of this operation is not actually to seize a lot of Japanese supplies for our own use. Because the matter is urgent, a considerable part of the supplies will inevitably be burned and destroyed because there is no time to transport them, and even the transport personnel are allowed to take them by themselves. ,take away.
Therefore, no one can find out which materials were transported and which were burned. This is a good opportunity for our personnel to fish in troubled waters.
"That's great." Peng Yuou happily held Cheng Qianfan's hands, "Comrade Huo Miao, on behalf of the comrades in the team, thank you."
He has had a lot of contact with "Mr. Miao" in the past two days.
“Mr. Miao” tells how the comrades in the guerrilla zone in southern Zhejiang fought resolutely and bravely against the enemy under difficult conditions.
Peng and Ou were also deeply shocked and moved by the hardships of the comrades in the guerrilla zone in southern Zhejiang.
The enemy uses battalions and companies as units to form a "clearance and suppression" team. They set out into the mountains every morning for "clearance and suppression" and return to their base in the evening.
The enemy will use methods such as "listening to sounds, watching fireworks, and following footprints" to search for the guerrillas, and will send plainclothes detectives to disguise themselves as red troops, either to ambush the guerrillas in the mountains or forests, or to harass the people in villages, destroying the relationship between the red guerrillas and the people. flesh-and-blood connection.
In addition, and most importantly, the enemy implemented an economic blockade to cut off the red guerrillas' sources of supplies.
Restrict people from purchasing grain, oil, salt and other daily foods.
The enemy will strictly control some items, such as cloth, rubber shoes, batteries, etc., especially salt, and will not allow people to transport them into the mountains.
Once discovered, the whole family will be executed on the charge of "collaborating with bandits" or "helping bandits".
In order to cooperate with the military "clearance", the Nationalist Government specially promulgated the "Regulations on the Compilation and Inspection of Baojia Household Registration in Counties in the Bandit Suppression Areas".
It is stipulated that every county and village in the "Bandit Suppression Front" shall be organized into Baojia in the form of ten households as one A, ten A's as one guarantee, and five guarantees as one joint guarantee, and the joint guarantee system shall be implemented.
That is to say, if one household is found to be "complicit in bandits", ten families will be implicated, and all the families will be executed.
And men between the ages of 18 and 45 in Baojia were organized into the "Red Redemption Volunteer Team" to closely monitor and control the movements of the masses.
Due to the long-term military "clean-up" and strict economic blockade by the Kuomintang army, the life of the red guerrillas was extremely difficult, especially after the 24th year of the Republic of China, they entered the most difficult stage.
guerrillas built bamboo huts, cedar bark huts and thatch huts to live in the deep mountains.
More than a dozen people are crowded into a big bunk bed, with an average of five or six people having only one ragged blanket, and everyone takes turns using it.
After the National Government implemented the resettlement and merging of villages, the guerrillas had no food and had to eat wild fruits, vegetables, and bamboo shoots to satisfy their hunger.
The guerrillas lived in the open, sleeping day and night, almost living like savages.
Under such extremely bad circumstances, the people still took risks and secretly supported the red team.
The masses buried their own daily necessities such as food rations and salt, marked them, and left them with their relatives and guerrillas.
The masses put rice, salt, and information in bamboo poles, and took advantage of the opportunity to go up the mountain to chop firewood. They left it with the red guerrillas, and they put on newly cut bamboo poles to carry firewood down the mountain.
However, the national army later discovered the secret and issued an order. If they saw people going deep into suspicious areas to cut firewood, 'but if they have any suspicion, they can be shot without asking for permission to act as bandits.'
In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, the red guerrillas did not dare to make fires to cook in severe cold weather. They ate raw wheat bran, tree bark, and drank sewage. Their military uniforms were in tatters and could not keep out the cold. Ordinary colds and colds could lead to the sacrifice of soldiers.
The red commanders and soldiers had no shoes to wear and walked barefoot. The enemy deliberately threw nails soaked in **** water in the areas where the red guerrillas were. The soles of the soldiers' feet were pierced by these nails. In order to avoid being exposed, they could only endure the pain and screamed. Without saying a word, they gritted their teeth and moved forward step by step. Some soldiers fell down as they walked and died silently.
The military equipment of these two Annan infantry battalions, in the eyes of Peng and Ou, are the precious lives of countless soldiers!
“These materials and equipment, especially military uniforms, must be handled well to prevent the enemy from following the pictures..." Cheng Qianfan said.
Peng Yuou interrupted Cheng Qianfan, "Don't worry, the guerrilla comrades have experience in handling these."
…
“About the ‘Zhonghua Treasure Island Guizong Society’ that you reported last time, the organization has conducted an investigation.” Peng Yuou said.
“Have you found any clues?” Cheng Qianfan asked immediately.
A few days ago, Cheng Qianfan reported to Peng Yuou on the situation of the "China Treasure Island Guizong Society" through the dead mailbox, requesting the organization to conduct relevant investigations and try to contact these patriots.
“We have found no information about the Lin Zhen you reported.” Peng Yuou said, “However, we have some clues about the person you mentioned about Zheng Qingshui’s comrade who died in Keelung.”
ˆ Peng Yuou told some of the information he had.
During the first cooperation between Guohong University and Guohong University, Guangdong Sun Yat-sen University and other Baodao students formed the "Guangdong Baodao Revolutionary Youth League" and issued a "Letter to Chinese Compatriots" calling for:
“The treasure island is China’s treasure island, the nation is China’s nation, and the land is China’s land.”
After the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup, some members of the regiment returned to Baodao to participate in the anti-Japanese activities led by our party.
“In the 23rd year of the Republic of China, Comrade Feng Huiqi of our party was captured and sacrificed by the Japanese army in Baodao. Comrade Feng Huiqi was sent by our Shanghai party organization to Baodao to organize the anti-Japanese struggle. Baodao including Zheng Qingshui Many of the anti-Japanese comrades were influenced by Comrade Feng Huiqi’s red patriotism and anti-Japanese ideas.”
“The comrade of Zheng Qingshui you mentioned is currently hiding in Shanghai, there is a preliminary guess from the organization.” Peng Yuou said.
"Comrade Feng Huiqi and his wife were arrested at the same time and were later killed by the Japanese invaders. After the two died, information came out from the organization that Comrade Feng Huiqi's wife and brother survived and escaped from the treasure island. Later, this There is no news about people." Peng Yuou said.
“Comrade Feng Huiqi is from Wenzhou, and his wife is from Shanghai. Based on the information you provided, Comrade Feng Huiqi’s brother-in-law is probably the person you mentioned.”
"Do you have more detailed information about this person?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"There is no more information." Peng Yuou shook his head. His heart was sad. He had had contact with Comrade Feng Huiqi, or was a member of the Shanghai Red Party who knew Comrade Feng Huiqi and his wife. In the cruel underground During the struggle and repeated raids by the enemy, most of them were sacrificed.
“Is there any information that I can refer to about Comrade Feng Huiqi’s wife, for example, what is her name and where did she live?”
Peng Yuou still shook his head. He looked at Cheng Qianfan and finally said, "The comrades who understood the situation have all died."
“Can more information be found in Zhejiang?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Although Feng Huiqi is from Wenzhou, he left Wenzhou very early and worked in Shanghai before going to Baodao." Peng Yuou said.
