At the time when the 11th Army of the Dispatch Army temporarily stopped attacking Hengzhou, the battle of Mariana Islands went into intense heat. It defeated the US Navy, the main force of the combined Japanese navy fleet, and began to turn around to support the Marine Corps and the Army. The offensive of the Navarre Islands.

Under such circumstances, Saipan was the first to be under tremendous pressure, and the defenders on the island were gradually compressed to a corner and were dying.

Amidst the lively firecrackers, the Shanghai Municipal Higher Police School of the Police Department of the Ministry of the Interior held a graduation ceremony for its first graduates. Chen Mingxiang and the three deputy directors of the Police Department, and the deputy directors of the Shanghai Municipal No. 1 and No. 2 police stations Director, of course, he must be present.

For this reason, Secretary of the Interior Mei Si commented on behalf of the senior officials of the Jinling government to attend the ceremony at the school and gave a speech to the graduates on behalf of Chen Gongbo. The Secretary General of the Municipal Government and the senior leaders attended the ceremony to congratulate him.

In North China, Lieutenant General Kato Tomaji, the commander of the Military Police Headquarters dispatched by North China, and Men Qingyuan, Supervisor of the Public Security Office of the North China Political Affairs Commission, attended the ceremony to congratulate him.

On the Japanese market in Shanghai, Lieutenant General Shibyama Kenshiro, head of the Ume Agency, Major General Kinoshita Eiichi of the Gendarmerie Command, Major General Yoshitaro Kawamoto, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Dispatch Army, Major General Ichiro Ohno of the Marine Corps Command, and Yujo Horiuchi, Consul General in Shanghai Waiting for someone to participate in this ceremony.

It was July, and the temperature was quite high. Chen Mingxiang didn't make it too cumbersome. Maybe these graduates would faint from heat stroke.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Kenshiro Shibayama spoke first, followed by Major General Kinoshita Sakae and Mr. Mei. As the Chief of Police and the principal, he made a final summary, and then reviewed the phalanx of the students and issued a diploma. This lasted approximately. Within two hours, the graduation ceremony was announced.

Chen Mingxiang held a grand banquet in Wang Baohe restaurant to entertain all the parties participating in the graduation ceremony. This is also a rare lively scene.

"Mr Gangcun, I really want to congratulate you this time. I have brought the Shanghai suburbs intelligence station, which has been in the Shanghai stock market the longest, to a pot. This will deal a heavy blow to the military control bureau’s influence in Shanghai and is of great significance to stabilizing the Shanghai stock market. It can be called a great achievement." Chen Mingxiang said to Gangcun Nakazu with a smile on the side of the rostrum.

"In fact, from finding clues to tracking and monitoring, and then deploying arrests, this is all the credit of Wanlilang. I just assisted by the side, but no matter what, it is always beneficial to the empire. All that came during this period was bad. News." Gangcun Shizo said, shaking his head.

He is not greedy for the merits of Wanli Lang. As a super-high section chief, as long as it is beneficial to Japan, he must do his best to support it.

"Chen Jun, I have taken over as the commander of the military police since I came to North China. You have not been there yet. When will you come to Peiping to sit down and I can treat you?" Kato Tomajiro said with a smile.

"It's not because the North China Front Army is fighting. I think you have a lot of affairs, so I didn't bother you. When the war stabilizes, I am definitely going to visit the general." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Director Chen, this is Men Qingyuan. Welcome to North China to inspect police affairs in the future." Men Qingyuan said.

The police system in North China is under the jurisdiction of the General Public Security Administration. Men Qingyuan is the highest-level leader, but in fact, he should be regarded as Chen Mingxiang's subordinate, because nominally, North China is also under the rule of the Wang puppet government.

Seeing that Chen Mingxiang and Lieutenant General Kato Tomaji, the commander of the military police dispatched by North China, were so familiar, he was also secretly lucky. Fortunately, he did not oppose the police department to arrange personnel to the police station in North China. Otherwise, he would be unlucky.

Chen Mingxiang has a close relationship with the former commander Major General Yano Otosaburo. He knows this. He didn't expect that the successor command is also an old one. The boss of the police system really has hands and eyes.

"In a while, I will go to Beiping. This time the police academy will assign personnel to the major police stations in North China, and I will also ask the door supervisor to take care of it and implement the distribution requirements." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Please don't worry about this. I am in charge of this aspect of the work. There will never be a problem with the implementation. Besides, this is also a good thing. The students are all trained by imperial experts and they must have real skills." Men Qingyuan Said somewhat flatteringly.

Successively, the headquarters of the Military Statistics Bureau forwarded the US Navy and Army’s attack on the Mariana Islands to Chen Mingxiang. In general, the process was fairly smooth.

On July 6th of the 33rd year of the Republic of China, the battle of Saipan came to a close. The commander of the 43rd Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Saito Yoshiji, and Lieutenant General Tadaichi Nanyun, commander of the Mid-Pacific Fleet of the Japanese Army, went to Tokyo Base Camp. The final farewell telegram was sent.

Then the highest commander of the navy and army gathered the remaining five thousand officers and soldiers on the island and deployed the final decisive attack.That night, Lieutenant General Saito Yoshiji committed suicide by laparotomy with a samurai sword, and Lieutenant General Tadaichi Nanyun ended his life with a pistol.

The commander of the U.S. Fifth Army, Lieutenant General Smith, knew the habits of the Japanese army very well. He anticipated that the opponent would definitely commit suicide attacks before the final defeat. He went to the division headquarters of the 27th Division of the Army and told his subordinates to strengthen their guard. Strictly guard against suicide charges by the Japanese army.

However, the officers of the 27th Division of the Army did not take this seriously. They were paralyzed in their minds. Because they had never seen such a scene, they lacked the necessary preparations for the battle. Even the joint between the two battalions of the US Army was nearly 3,300 meters wide. Big gap.

At 4:45 on July 7, more than 5,000 Japanese soldiers suddenly launched a decisive charge. The officers wielded sabers, and the soldiers took the lead and rushed to the forefront. The soldiers with guns carried guns, while those without guns carried bayonets and Clubs, even the wounded with bandages on their heads and crutches in their hands, limped up, ignoring the US military's shooting.

The Japanese army broke into the U.S. line from the gap between the two battalions of the 27th Division of the U.S. Army. One battalion of the 105th Regiment was immediately disintegrated under the crazy Japanese charge, and the other two battalions suffered. By the time he suffered a misfire by artillery fire, he suffered heavy losses.

After the battle lasted for several hours, the 27th Division even incorporated the rear personnel into the combat force, and only then did the attack smash. It was just this decisive charge that caused US casualties to reach 2,000. More than four thousand Japanese soldiers died in battle.

On July 9th, the U.S. forces advanced to the northernmost tip of Saipan and basically occupied the entire island.During the Saipan landing campaign, more than 3,400 US troops were killed and more than 13,000 wounded.

In the sea and land garrison of Saipan, the Japanese army, including those who were attacked and killed during reinforcements, totaled 41,000 people killed.Among them, there were more than 26,000 people in the army, more than 15,000 people in the navy, and more than 2,000 people were captured.
