Inside the Ping'an Restaurant, Zhang Tianhao sat in a private room, looking at Zhao Chuan and Afeng in front of him, with a slight smile on his face.

"What do you two think?"

"Master, all of these thirteen Fushoutangs are run by the Japanese. To take them all down, we need at least five hundred people, or maybe even more."

"In addition, you said that you also want to take down the Shanghai headquarters of Fu Shou Tang. There are at least 40 to 50 Japanese warriors there. Add to that the 12 branches, and there are at least 250 Japanese warriors. Isn't this a bit too much of a commotion?"

"That's true, Master. Isn't it true that the noise is too loud? Besides, they have the advantage of the terrain, which makes it even more difficult for us."

Zhang Tianhao came here this time, naturally he had his own plans. As for the underground party, it might be difficult to take over a branch. After all, the strength of more than a dozen members of the action team was obviously not enough to take it down.

What's more, it would be even more difficult to take it down quietly.

"Afeng, how many branches can you clean up here?"

"Two. If there are more, it will attract the attention of those who are interested."

A Feng thought for a moment, then slowly said, "The Japanese are keeping a close eye on us now. Any slight disturbance may lead to reports from interested parties."

"Okay then, you two."

"Zhao Chuan, can you take one down here?"

"No, they are good at underground work, but they are not good at taking action. You know their situation better than I do. So I will not participate in this operation."

"That's fine! I'll figure out the rest. After all, I'm really broke now. If I don't make some extra money, I'll be starving."

"Master, you have no money?"

"You don't think I'm rich, do you?"

Zhang Tianhao rolled his eyes at the two of them and shook his head.

"You all know my industry, and there is a lot of smuggling, but you all know where the money comes from, and you also know how much it costs, so I am really poor now and need to find some subsidies."

"How about I take down four of them, Master?"

"No, we will move the day after tomorrow night. You can choose any branch. You can keep the money you earn as funding. I may not be able to provide funding for a long time. After all, although my shabby bookstore makes money, it's not much, and it's all small amounts."

"understand!"

"By the way, the night after tomorrow, Afeng, keep a close eye on that young master Kuroda. Before you take action tomorrow night, call me and tell me. I'll be waiting for your call at home."

"Row!"

……

Soon, Zhang Tianhao found a few more people and prepared to take action together the day after tomorrow night.

Of course, not many people were found. The action team only found a group, which were the people he had secretly trained. Since arriving in Shanghai in 38, he had been secretly training some people.

These people usually stay hidden, and no one knows of their existence.

The purpose is to give himself an extra way out. After all, he knows that there will be many times of negligence and it is impossible to take care of everything, so he finds another team to prevent accidents.

"Master, No. 3 reports to you."

"No. 3, how have you been these past few days?"

"Master, we are doing well. With your support, we are doing OK." "No. 3, have you fallen behind in training?"

"No, we have been training here all the time, and all the brothers know that if they fail for a moment, they will lose their lives directly."

"That's good. The night after tomorrow, drive a truck and bring all your team members to prepare to support our operation. You know the biggest Fu Shou Tang, right?"

"Know!"

"Tomorrow night, I will bring a few people over to practice. When you go over, be careful to enforce martial law and have trucks pick you up to prevent any accidents."

"understand!"

It can be said that these people are all death warriors, and the purpose of their training is to deal with emergencies.

"Okay, I'll go first. If I need anything later, I'll come find you."

After arranging various things, Zhang Tianhao went directly to Qin Yuxiang's place. After all, since he had time to come out, he was willing to go over and take a look.

However, before going, he still had to sort out other things at hand, especially the matters of each squadron. If they were handled well, that would be even better. If they were not handled well, the losses would not be just one or two people, but thousands of people.

Although each squadron fought independently and supported each other, the overall framework was still under the control of Zhang Tianhao. Although he did not send many telegrams, he received intelligence from all parties from time to time to understand the latest battle situation.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

By now, Zhang Tianhao finally understood that the forces attacking the Jiangsu squadrons were a Class B division and two Class C divisions transferred from the Japanese country, totaling more than 50,000 people, plus the local Japanese battalion and the puppet troops transferred over, forming a large-scale army to encircle and suppress them.

Except for the New Fourth Army that was deployed against Yancheng using a Class B division, other places were mainly equipped with Class C divisions, plus the local Japanese garrison battalion.

Even with this calculation, the total number of Japanese troops reached more than 70,000, which far exceeded the numbers that Zhang Tianhao had obtained in the intelligence.

Or he ignored the local Japanese garrison battalion and made a misjudgment of the situation, which led to the heavy losses this time.

Of course, Zhang Tianhao also knew that even if his judgment was correct, the losses would not be much smaller, because there were too many Japanese devils.

Even the Japanese campaign of clearing the countryside was combined with this campaign to encircle and suppress the major anti-Japanese armed forces, and the number of people had to expand further.

……

Inside the Japanese garrison headquarters in Nanjing, the commander sat there, looking at the battle reports received from all parties today, his expression quite grim.

Except for the decisive victory in Yancheng, a large number of the enemy's troops withdrew, and other aspects were not satisfactory.

There were 5000 Japanese troops in Xuzhou, plus two divisions of puppet troops. As a result, only one and a half battalions of Japanese troops and three regiments of puppet troops were left, and the enemy had already withdrawn.

In Lianyungang, out of the same number of troops, only more than 200 Japanese soldiers and a small number of puppet troops escaped. It can be said that the entire army was wiped out.

The troops in Huaiyin, Yangzhou and other places also suffered heavy casualties, with losses exceeding half.

The fighting in the Nanjing area went relatively smoothly, and the anti-Japanese armed forces were successfully defeated, with the loss of almost two battalions and a puppet army division, and the other side also left behind four to five thousand corpses.

Although they won the battle in the Suzhou area, the enemy's main force was not lost and basically escaped, leaving only two or three thousand corpses. However, they paid a considerable price, which was the loss of two battalions and four puppet legions.

Even the Japanese did not expect that the anti-Japanese armed forces based in Jiangsu would be so powerful. It was simply ridiculously strong.

More importantly, they underestimated the combat effectiveness of these anti-Japanese armed forces and suffered a great loss. They fought for more than a month and it was quite difficult for them.

"Everyone, please read the battle report. I won't say much. We mobilized such a large-scale force this time, but the result was unexpected. We underestimated our opponents and overestimated ourselves. These troops are more powerful than the troops in Chongqing."

"So, we must completely eliminate these anti-Japanese armed forces, and I suspect that this is a unified organization, and the uniforms are the same." (End of this chapter)
