The Customs Foreign Intelligence Service reported to the headquarters of the station. On March 21, Lieutenant General Takeshita Yoshiharu led the main force of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army and took a train through Shanhaiguan.

Subsequently, the North China Intelligence Office reported that the 27th Division took a car along the Ping-Han Railway to continue to Muye. At the same time, the Japanese Third Tank Division also pulled out from the station and marched towards Beiping.

The 37th Division and the 62nd Division of the First Army of the North China Front Army, the 110th Division of the North China Front Army directly under the Japanese Army, independently mixed the 7th Brigade, the 9th Independent Infantry Brigade and the 4th Cavalry Brigade, All have already begun pre-war preparations.

A large amount of ammunition, fuel, grain and other materials shipped from the country are being rushed to Muye, which should be the main logistics base for this battle.

"In a call from the bureau's headquarters, Boss Dai gave all the staff at the direct station a record of great achievements, asking us to continue our efforts and continue to monitor the movements of the Japanese army, provide more detailed intelligence for this campaign, and provide a basis for the combat plan of the First Theater Command."

"The summary of the Japanese North China Front Army's combat plan you provided this time has made an outstanding contribution to resisting the Japanese attack and gaining time for preparation. In the name of the Shancheng Government Military Committee, I will give you a secret record of special merits and a reward of US$20,000. Block." Wang Zhen said with a message.

Chen Mingxiang has now reached the peak period, there is no way to be promoted, and there is no higher medal, only to record merits and pay bonuses.

"I am not much interested in the so-called meritorious deeds. What I am most concerned about is whether the first theater can withstand the Japanese attack. This is one of the few Kuomintang-controlled areas on the south bank of the Yellow River. Once the actions of the Japanese army work, most people in Henan Province, It will fall under the cruel bullying of the Japanese army." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Mingxiang, we are just intelligence personnel. Performing our mission and doing our job well is the greatest help to the Shancheng government and bureau headquarters. As for whether the first theater can smash the enemy's offensive and preserve the existing territory, that is not Things we can consider."

"The sequence of the offensive forces of the 12th Army of the North China Front Army of the Japanese Army is now very obvious. The dispatching army's 11th and 13th Army's response and reinforcement operations, company numbers and destinations, and even time are very clear. We did what we needed to do."

"Under such circumstances, if the first theater cannot withstand the enemy's offensive, it is its own incompetence, not the issue of the military reinstatement bureau, let alone the direct subordinate station." Wang Zhen said.

Chen Mingxiang knew that Wang Zhen’s words were right. The responsibility of the intelligence personnel is to obtain the enemy’s intelligence and provide combat support to the Shancheng government army. This is a very important condition for victory. Now, he has basically completed the mission. The first round of attack The outline of has clearly emerged.

The strength of the Twelfth Army of the North China Front Army of the Japanese Army consisted of four C divisions, half a chariot division, two brigades and a cavalry brigade, plus the direct units, which was about 140,000 men.

The military establishment of the first theater is forty-two infantry divisions plus three brigades, which is four times the number of the recent army. Although the weapons and equipment are a little bit inferior, there is a good chance to resist the Japanese attack and protect the people of Henan Province. of.

While waiting towards the end of March, the Executive Yuan of the Jinling Government passed a resolution to elect Chen Mingxiang as an administrative committee member and as the administrative supervisor of the Shanghai Special Municipal Government. In the eyes of all officials of the puppet government, this is a typical rise.

Chen Mingxiang has another job. The Deputy Director of the Social Bureau and the Commissioner of the Foreign Affairs Office are still serving concurrently. That is, he has his own office in the office building of the municipal government.

Chen Mingxiang appointed He Bingxian and He Zhuoxian as his office secretaries. They can come to work or not. Anyway, the secretary of the police department, Wu Ziying, is in charge. They just get an extra salary, which also means that he does not forget. Chen Gongbo's support.

"Old Xiong, why did you come to me when you have time?" Chen Mingxiang asked Xiong Jiandong.

This guy is now the director of the Shanghai Stock Exchange’s security department, the original security headquarters. The commander is naturally also Chen Gongbo and Lu Ying is the deputy commander. But because Chen Gongbo handed over the Shanghai stock market to Chen Mingxiang, he temporarily exercised it. The functions of the commander.

"Commissioner Chen, this morning our security forces participated in the imperial army's operation to encircle and suppress the underground party guerrillas. More than 30 died and more than 20 people were injured. I have to ask you to approve a sum of funeral and medical expenses. The secretary-general will not give you any money." Xiong Jiandong said with a smile.

Although he has been with Zhou Aihai and the tide has risen, he became the deputy chief of the tax police corps and also served as the security officer of the Shanghai stock market, but he knew very well that Chen Mingxiang could not afford it.

Chen Mingxiang is the confidant of Chen Gongbo’s confidant. This is something that all walks of life in the Shanghai stock market know. Chen Gongbo took over Wang Jingwei’s work and immediately promoted Chen Mingxiang to a member of the Executive Yuan's political affairs committee. He was also responsible for the supervision of government work in the Shanghai stock market. Kind of status?

Xiong Jiandong knew about Zhou Aohai’s connection with the Military Statistics Bureau, but the big people wanted to use the Shanghai stock market as a life-saving capital. Xiong Jiandong was not only optimistic about the Tax Police General Corps, but also very optimistic about the security department. Life-saving capital.

As for Chen Mingxiang, in addition to his close personal relationship with Chen Gongbo, he also has a close personal relationship with Zhou Naohai. It is one of the few people who can directly affect him. If the two have a conflict, Chen Mingxiang will turn his face. He is not only paying attention. The Police Headquarters couldn't get along, and the entire Shanghai stock market had no place for him.

"Where did the firefight cause so many deaths and injuries? What about the casualties of the imperial army? Is the loss of the underground party big?" Chen Mingxiang frowned and asked.

"Yesterday, in the area of ​​Zhujiadian in Nanhui, the search force of the imperial army was attacked. This guerrilla group retreated to Fengxian's Northern Song Dynasty and hid. Unexpectedly, the eyeliner of the extra-high class was discovered. So this morning, thousands of people were gathered. A siege was carried out."

"As a result, let’s not say that we suffered heavy losses. The imperial army died a dozen and injured a dozen, and the underground party died 20 or so, but did not catch alive, making the 17th mixed brigade the imperial army. The captain was furious, and he is still searching in the Northern Song Dynasty!" Xiong Jiandong said.

Chen Mingxiang thought of a situation. The guerrillas have gone through this hard fight. There must be some wounded who need timely treatment, and the environment they are in is too bad to have such conditions.

After Xiong Jiandong left, he quickly came to his clinic, took some anti-inflammatory drugs and bandages, drove to Yunhua Restaurant, and handed it to Zheng Tonghui along with a sum of money.

The Japanese army's operation was in the suburbs of Shanghai. Chen Mingxiang's intelligence force had not yet expanded to this level. He had no confidant at the security office, and he didn't know that it was normal.
