Lost and Spy

Chapter 276 Tenacious Resistance
Tomorrow, I must talk to my boss about the salary increase, or I will resign!

However, the boss is away on a business trip the next day, and you have to continue your work and prepare to wait for the boss to come back before talking about the salary increase.

But in the past few days of waiting for the boss to come back, you had a major accident at work. Of course, there is no need to talk about a salary increase. It is hard to say whether you can keep your current job.

This is what happens to many people in real life.

A perfectly calculated plan is often destroyed by a small problem.

Even, this small problem will change your life's destiny!

Such is the case with Hiroo Watanabe.

He discovered that there was a problem with the "Sakuragi Flower Road".

He must report to Shigeru Hosaki immediately.

"Major Watanabe, the chief of the agency is not here, he has gone to the Xuandao United Team."

"understood."

When Hiroo Watanabe hurried to the Xuandao United team station and asked for an interview, the reply he got was:
"Your Excellency, the Captain, is holding an emergency military meeting. Please report everything after the military operation is over tomorrow. This is what your Excellency the Chief of the Agency meant. At the same time, your Excellency, the Captain, asked Your Excellency, Major, why you are not staying in the security team when the military operation is imminent." Supervising those Chinese officers and coming here? Please return to your combat post immediately!"

In a few hours, the attack on the 29th Army in Tong County is about to begin!
All Japanese officers are busy.

There is nothing more important than annihilating the Chinese army in Tong County.

This is also Hiroo Watanabe's helplessness.

He is the Major.

But his duty is to keep an eye on the officers of the security forces.

The rest is not his business.

Factional fighting in the Japanese army was equally serious.

Unfortunately, Hiroo Watanabe and Captain Kawashima are not in the same faction.

The leader of the Kawashima United was transferred from the third division of the so-called first-class division, and Hiroo Watanabe was in charge of the garrison mission in Kyoto at first, and was then transferred to the second-class division, stationed at the No. 19th Division, and then was photographed in Tong County as a consultant.

Therefore, the captain of the Xuandao United didn't look down on him at all, and usually made things difficult for Hiroo Watanabe everywhere.

As for Shigeru Hosoki, he is a very good friend with Captain Kawashima, and his position is also obvious.What's more, a major military operation is about to start soon, whether it is the captain of the Kawashima United or Shigeru Hosoki, the focus is here now.

Hiroo Watanabe's right is to supervise the security team. Without the security team, he has no right to arrest a "Japanese".

In particular, he only had doubts about "Sakuragi Flower Road". If he caught the wrong one, he would not be able to bear the responsibility at all...

If Shigeru Hosaki could meet him...if Koo Watanabe could see Meng Shaoyuan even one day sooner...if Koo Watanabe could be braver and control "Sakuragi Flower Road" first...

in case……

No if.

A fatal negligence of Meng Shaoyuan brought him to his death.But the special circumstances that happened in Tong County temporarily saved him.

Perhaps, fate has doomed everything somewhere...

……

Back at the residence, although he was worried, Meng Shaoyuan still called Song Deng over: "How long has Pan Baolai been away?"

"It's been 12 hours. I believe he has already sent the information to our Battalion Commander Xu of the 29th Army in Tong County."

"Okay. I hope Battalion Commander Xu will be ready to face the Japanese invaders!"

……

1937 at 3 a.m.

The Xuandao Regiment of the Japanese Army in Tongxian County suddenly launched an attack on the Xu Xihao Battalion of the 29rd Division of the 143th Army of the Chinese Army stationed outside the south gate of Xincheng, Tongxian County.

The battalion had already received information about the upcoming Japanese attack in advance. The fortifications were complete and the firepower was properly equipped. The officers and soldiers of the battalion were ready to face the battle.

At the beginning of the Japanese attack, under the command of Battalion Commander Xu Xihao, all the officers and soldiers of the battalion were united as one, and all the light and heavy firepower was fired on the position to deal a severe blow to the invading Japanese army!

The Japanese army never expected to encounter such tenacious resistance. In the first charge, they dropped more than a dozen corpses on the position and retreated in embarrassment.

The fierce battle lasted until 5:[-] a.m., but the camp Xu's position stood still, while the casualties of the Japanese army continued to increase.

"Report to the battalion commander, the Tongxian security team on our flank is full of gunshots."

"Don't worry about the security team, they won't attack." Xu Xihao waved his hand, turned to Pan Baolai beside him, and asked quietly: "All my soldiers are on the front line, are you sure the security team won't attack us? What if ...that's going to be a big deal."

"Don't worry, Battalion Commander Xu." Pan Baolai was full of confidence: "Our Director Meng is watching over there personally."

"You said that Meng...Meng Shaoyuan, is he really so courageous to stay with the Japanese and call the shots?"

"Commander Xu, don't worry, there is nothing in this world that Director Meng dare not do."

"That works." Xu Xihao picked up the binoculars: "Damn it, the brothers fought the Japanese to the death at Lugou Bridge. It's calm here. Now I can finally let me fight with my hands and feet. Orderer, go tell Brothers, we belong to the 29th Army, and there are no cowards in the 29th Army! Give me a hard beat! Die, let me die forward!"

This battle is for the "Battle of Tongxian County".

The Xu Xihao Battalion of the 29rd Division of the 143th Army fought alone with the strength of a battalion without reinforcements.

At dawn, Japanese planes appeared over the position and bombarded the camp Xu's position in coordination with ground artillery.

As soon as the sound of the guns stopped, those Chinese soldiers got out of the mud one after another, remounted their weapons, and shouted "Aww", all of them with red eyes, and poured bullets at the swarming enemies.

In this battle, the Xu Xihao Battalion stood firm from 3:8 am to [-]:[-] am. Facing the Japanese army's artillery superiority in all aspects, the position stood still and killed more than a hundred Japanese invaders.

After 8 o'clock, Xu Ying received an order from his superiors and immediately broke through and retreated!

The only thing they were worried about was that they would fight fiercely for several hours, and the brothers would also suffer heavy casualties. Once the Tongxian security team intercepted, Xu Ying would be attacked head to tail, and it would be impossible to break through.

However, there is one person who will make sure this doesn't happen:
Meng Shaoyuan!
……

The Beijing opera "Yellow Crane Tower" was playing on the phonograph.

Meng Shaoyuan was lying on a rocking chair with a glass of wine in his hand, humming Peking Opera while shaking his head.

Actually...Master Meng doesn't know anything about Peking opera...

You have to pretend.

Could it be that in this era, you let the gramophone play the song "The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain"?
With Young Master Meng like this, he is calm and composed, fearless in the face of danger.

To be honest, he was so nervous that he didn't know what it was like.

What happened to the brothers of the 29th Army?

Are their casualties high?
What if any of the officers in the security team disobeyed the command?
What about Zhang Qingyu and the others?

Why haven't you reported yet?
what are they doing?
"Director Meng."

Zhang Qingyu finally rushed in.

"What's the matter?" Meng Shaoyuan asked lightly.

Seeing Meng Shaoyuan like this, Zhang Qingyu really admired him.

It's like this outside, Director Meng is still in the mood to listen to Peking Opera and have a drink. After all, he has received professional training.

"The Japanese attack is not going well." Zhang Qingyu said with joy on his face: "The brothers of the 29th Army fought very tenaciously. Just now, the Japanese called again and asked us to reinforce immediately!"

it is good!
Meng Shaoyuan was overjoyed.

The hard-working soldiers of the 29th Army, with the strength of a battalion, actually stubbornly blocked until the Xuandao United Unit was about to ask the security team for reinforcements.

"Ignore them." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Let the brothers fight more lively on the ground, light machine guns, heavy machine guns and cannons, fight hard! If the Japanese call again, they will say that the security team's position has been violently attacked. , It is really impossible to mobilize troops for reinforcements."

"understood."

"Zhang Qingyu, why didn't you send reinforcements, why did I see your men shooting at the sky!"

At this moment, Kou Watanabe rushed in angrily with an interpreter.

When he saw at a glance that "Sakuragi Flower Road" was actually here, he was stunned: "You, why are you here?"

He suddenly understood what was going on, and quickly touched his waist.

"Bang" sound.

The gun in Meng Shaoyuan's hand fired ahead of time.

The bullet pierced Watanabe's thigh.

The translator fell to his knees on the ground with a "plop" in fright.

"Put it down, it seems. Koo Watanabe leaves it to me."

Meng Shaoyuan got up and came to Koo Watanabe, who was lying on the ground clutching his legs, but gritted his teeth and refused to hurt his feet. He still said in the arrogant Kyoto dialect:

"You farmer from Nagahama, tell me, where is my flaw? You must have found my flaw, haven't you?"

Hiroo Watanabe smiled miserably: "You pretended to be very similar, and I was also deceived by you. However, two months ago, I received a letter from my sister saying that Mae Matsu Takamoto had drowned."

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly realized, and slapped his head: "No wonder, no wonder, I said that I acted very similarly. Baga, Takamoto Qianmatsu, this bastard, why did he have to be drowned?"

"Who are you?" Hirofu Watanabe asked unwillingly.

"I must be a Chinese agent, you are asking too much." Meng Shaoyuan took out a deck of playing cards from his pocket: "When I saw this card, I had an idea. Whenever I complete a task, Kill a Japanese and leave a card on him.

Originally, you were not a spy, and in your capacity, you were not entitled to my card.But I have completed so many tasks, you are still the first to see through my identity.Well, I have to reward you. "

He took out a block A from the playing card: "Did you see it? When I kill you, this block A will be rewarded to you."

Hiroo Watanabe couldn't laugh or cry.

Is this a reward?

"Really." Meng Shaoyuan said very seriously: "From the A of diamonds to the K of spades, when I used the K of spades, I thought, the war is over, and you are the first person to receive my playing cards."

"Who will get the King of Spades?" Kou Watanabe asked unwillingly.

"Who knows? Maybe it's your Emperor?" Meng Shaoyuan said indifferently: "Anyway, he must be a very important person, but you must not know it by then."
