Begin with Zheng Yaoxian

Chapter 772 After the declaration of war
In the early morning of December [-], [-], more than [-] carrier-based planes of the Japanese Navy attacked Pearl Harbor, the base of the US Pacific Fleet in Hawaii, and the airfields of the US Navy and Army on Oahu were simultaneously attacked.

The Japanese Navy also participated in the battle with five miniature pocket submarines, but they were discovered and destroyed by the U.S. Army, and the Pacific War broke out.

At [-] o'clock in the morning the next day, Yutoyo Mio, Yosuke Imai and the Japanese navy began to move. The British gunboat Haiyan sank, the American gunboat Wick surrendered, and the Japanese navy moved inward from the Bund.

In order to maintain the image of Shanghai as an international city, the Japanese army allowed the Shanghai Public Concession Bureau of Industry and Commerce to operate as usual.Since then, nationals from enemy countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States were successively arrested and sent to concentration camps, and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce was completely controlled by Japan.For the citizens, the Baojia system was implemented and control was strengthened.

Qi Rui had given them the information long ago. The United States and the United Kingdom acted as if they knew nothing. They did not take protective measures for ordinary expatriates, and even the gunboats did not evacuate. The purpose should be to let the Japanese carry out their actions. plan of.

As Qi Rui expected, immediately after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the United States, which was originally divided in opinions, was united and united to defeat Japan. Roosevelt also designated December [-] as the National Humiliation Day.

However, the strategic intention of the Japanese was not achieved. This sneak attack only sank four US capital ships, and none of the three main target aircraft carriers was in the port.

On December 20, more than [-] countries including the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, and the Netherlands declared war on Japan, and the Chongqing government declared war on Japan on December [-].

Some people say that the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor made Hitler furious. In fact, it was not the case. On the contrary, Germany had long expected Japan to go to war with the United States, because the United States had long since declared war on Germany, and Germany had endured the United States for a long time.

Imai Yosuke, the commander of the Gendarmerie Command, thought that the opportunity had come. He personally led the Gendarmerie into the public concession to conduct a large-scale raid on the underground party, the military command, and the Central Command. But to his disappointment, the harvest was very small. After three days of hard work, he only caught Killed several militants and Central Union agents.

Masako Takahashi and Miko Yagyu haven't heard any news from the God-killing Action Team or the Jellyfish Assassination Team in the past few months. The No. [-] Special Agent Team has also disappeared, and the military command has also disappeared under the leadership of Zheng Yaoxian.

Because the French Vichy government had surrendered to Germany at that time, Japan did not occupy the French Concession, so some strongholds in the French Concession were retained under Qi Rui's suggestion.

According to Qi Rui's intention, Li Dingchuan has compromised with the Japanese, and he has become a traitor businessman on the surface. In fact, the Japanese know only one or two out of ten of the Li family's property. Most of the American and British industries in the public concession are owned by Li. home control.

"Ninth brother, everything is going according to plan, sister-in-law and the others are all safe in the French Concession." Su Wenqian came back to report,

"Wen Qian, did you give Brother Six the information?"

In order to cooperate with the offensive against the US and British troops in Southeast Asia, the Japanese army mobilized more than 5 divisions and more than 10 troops to attack Changsha for the third time. This information Qi Rui has already been given to Zheng Yaoxian by Su Wenqian, and the Japanese army’s battle plan is attached. .

"Yes, Sixth Brother notified Chongqing in front of me."

"I hope this time we can win a big victory!" Because the Americans participated in the war, Chongqing also gained a lot of confidence. It can be seen from their declaration of war against Japan. The all-out war of resistance has been fought for more than four years, and war has only been declared now.

At this time, the Chongqing government also wants to show its great role to the allies, so this battle is still very critical, because the victory will get more military assistance and cooperation from the United States, and the most important thing is that Chongqing strongly hopes to get the support of the allies. recognized.

"Ninth Brother, Sixth Brother will be transferred back to Chongqing, and will leave soon. Sixth Brother asks if you have anything else to do."

"Wherever the sixth brother goes, we can contact him. Do you know who the next district chief is?" Qi Rui asked,

"Chongqing didn't say anything, but just told Sixth Brother that the new district chief of Shanghai is already on his way."

Qi Rui guessed that the information this time was too important. Chongqing wanted to know the details. After all, a lot of information in the telegram could not be conveyed, so he let Brother Six go back. He really should go back because he still has a A battle plan for the third attack on Changsha by the Devil No. 11 Army.

"Ninth brother, shouldn't we also take action?"

Qi Rui nodded and said: "At this time, we really need to take big actions to create influence. We must let the allied forces see that we Chinese have been fighting!"

Qi Rui has been making plans for a long time, and he also wants to do some sensational actions at this time, so that the world can see our Chinese's resolute fight against the Communist Party.

"Ninth brother, do you have a plan?"

"There will be a large-scale celebration in Shanghai in a few days. At that time, important figures from the puppet government and the dispatched army headquarters will participate. The place of celebration will be Paramount in the public concession." Qi Rui also just got the news. He did his defense work well in advance.

"Ninth Brother, will Hata Junliu, Harem Jun, and Dohashi Yuitsu come by then?"

"It is still uncertain, but this time there will be many Japanese military officers and traitors attending the event."

"Ninth brother, but there must be many of my own people who will be invited to participate in such an event, such as Mr. Li." Su Wenqian said,

Li Dingchuan is still in Shanghai, and the Japanese will definitely invite him to such an event. Qi Rui thought of this a long time ago and said: "So he must not be allowed to participate in this event."

"Then Mr. Li has no reason to refuse. This will definitely make the Japanese dissatisfied."

"So, we have to assassinate him in advance. Now he is a traitor businessman, and it is reasonable to be assassinated by a passionate patriotic youth."

"I understand. I will inform Mrs. Jiu and ask him to be hospitalized in the next two days."

"The assassination must be completed within two days, and Mr. Li must be really injured, so this operation must be a master, because there must be no accidents, only Mr. Li is injured, and it looks serious, but lifeless The dangerous kind."

"I understand that Jiusao also knows Mr. Li, and she will definitely send the most reliable person to carry out this mission."

"Tell you Jiusao, don't let the devil see that the assassin is a master, but pretend to be a novice."

"I see."

"You don't need to tell Mr. Li in advance, it will be more realistic."

"By the way, Ninth Brother, Mr. Li has several powerful bodyguards by his side, what if he is accidentally injured?"

"Mr. Li has four bodyguards, two of them were sent to him by the Japanese, so they can kill and maim, but it's best not to kill him."

"Understood!"

Assassinating Li Dingchuan will also make the Japanese trust him more. Qi Rui originally wanted to send Song Jian, Tang Rui and Tan Lin to carry out this mission, but because the intelligence department sent to protect Li Dingchuan's spies could not be killed, so Fu Yingxue could only let him Send people to act.
