Chapter 330 The August 7th Uprising () (Before the Donkey Cart God of War comes online)
Matsushiro Yoshitaka knew military commanders very well.

He had noticed this intelligence agency as early as when the Secret Service was still a secret investigation team. This was also the reason why he was able to grasp Dai Chunfeng's movements.

Now, when the intelligence on the military unification operation was gathered into his hands, Yoshitaka Matsuro immediately realized that his opponent this time was a "newcomer"!
The reason is simple, because he understands military rule.

Everyone at the top of the military command has a different style. In such a large-scale operation like this, he could not see any "familiar" style of the senior military command - this kind of large-scale operation that integrates intelligence and operations. , is actually the weakness of the military commander. Except for Zhang Shihao, who came out of nowhere and defied the expectations of heaven, the current military commander, among the people he knows, there is absolutely no such talent!
Since the September 18th Incident, Yoshitaka Matsuro has been secretly observing the Secret Service.

In the eyes of Matsumuro Yoshitaka, the Secret Service is better at intelligence collection, and even instigating rebellion is actually very average.

However, after the July 7th Incident and the Battle of Songhu, the Secret Service grew rapidly.

But except for Shanghai, the secret services in the occupied areas and the current members of the military command are still very average-in terms of intelligence, they are doing well, but in terms of operations, there is really nothing outstanding.

Especially in the context of the Shanghai Navy Commander.

For more than a year, Matsuro Yoshitaka has come into contact with all these opponents.

But now in Shanghai, the opponent he encountered behaved very strangely - in addition to Zhang Shihao, the military commander actually produced another "master"?
[Whether he is a master or not depends on the situation at the Extra High School and No. 76! 】

[If the evacuation can be completed under the eyes of the imperial army, then this opponent will undoubtedly be an absolute master! 】

[A master second only to Zhang Shihao! 】

Just as Matsuro Yoshitaka was thinking about it, his subordinates received information:

"Chief of the Agency, news came from the Military Police Headquarters that by the time the two squadrons of the Military Police were deployed in three ways to support No. 76 Jisfeier Road, the resistance elements had already evacuated!"

"They and the imperial troops who arrived later surrounded the combat area and are now conducting a large-scale search. They guarantee that the resistance elements will be trapped in the encirclement!"

"Guarantee?" Matsuro Yoshitaka sneered. He was not optimistic about being able to contain this group of resistance elements. Many past facts have proved that the resistance elements have many hidden tunnels. Unless they dig deep into the ground, the result will be only one:
The resistance elements disappeared before their eyes!

"This opponent should have no one left in his hands now."

"Although it feels like an anticlimax, he can make so many moves under my nose, and he can make so many moves under my nose, so he is worthy of the title of master..."

He was studying his opponent in his mind when his secretary hurried over:

"Captain, something happened! Something big happened!"

Matsuro Yoshitaka looked at the newly elected secretary with dissatisfaction:

"what's up?"

“The (violence) reaction!”

“Many factory workers are rioting and rebellious!”

Matsushiro Yoshitaka, who had just been secretly complaining about his secretary's inability to bear the trouble, exclaimed in disbelief:
"what?"

……

After the Revolution of 1911, although national enterprises continued to appear, their lives were not good.

However, during the World War, the great powers were unable to look away, which allowed immature national enterprises to develop vigorously during this golden period.

But after the smoke of war, the good days of national enterprises have come to an end. Although the National Government has replaced the Beiyang Government, the door of the country is still open unscrupulously. Facing the dumping and barbaric economic plunder of the great powers, there is no The National Government, which truly achieves national independence, cannot protect these young shoots.

China's domestic industry is struggling so hard.

Then, a full-scale war between China and Japan broke out!
War serves politics, and politics serves economic considerations. The Japanese who occupied Shanghai launched an unscrupulous "suppression" of China's immature industry.

Either the factory will be sold to the Japanese, or it will go bankrupt completely due to unfair competition!

During the Battle of Songhu, those factory owners who listened to the advice dragged their families and families away from this place of right and wrong, but more factory owners were unable to abandon their pots and pans and could only bear it passively.

In the past year or so, countless factories had to be sold to the Japanese or shut down, and the rest were also struggling even more.

If the factory owners are like this, how can the workers inside be any better?
When the factory closed down, they had no choice but to go to the Japanese-owned factory - they could endure hardship, but in the Japanese-owned factory, they worked hard to endure hardship, but it was still difficult to support their families.

The factory has not closed down, and they are struggling to survive with the factory owner. Even the most benevolent factory owner has no choice but to cut workers' wages during the difficult period when profits have dropped crazily and even have to lose money.

The Chinese nation is the most hard-working nation, but when they have endured all the hardships but still cannot see hope, what can they... do?

Once upon a time, someone said: If you die now, you will die if you make great plans. If you wait for death, is it okay for the country to die?

As a result, they set off a wave of burying Da Qin.

And now, after almost a year of despair, these workers, who are slaves of the subjugated country, are finally faced with the choice made by their predecessors more than 2,000 years ago:

If you keep going on, you will die, resist, or die. It's all death. So it's better to... resist happily!

As a result, more than 1,400 workers in 39 factories roared in anger at this moment!

……

Zhang Anping had been planning to instigate an uprising among factory workers long before the July 7th Uprising, and he even used the help of the underground party at that time.

However, Zhang Anping planned to make a big fuss on August 13th, so he made first-hand preparations:

Use the Shanghai Chamber and Special Second District to follow the factory owner's route and prepare for the second uprising.

Preparing for the uprising this time was actually easier than the first time.

Because the July 7th Uprising is the best example. The former has a perfect evacuation example. Taking this as an example, it is not difficult to mobilize these factory owners, especially since the military command promised to help them establish factories in the rear.

So, after a period of careful deployment, the factory owners of these thirty-seven factories rose up, took the weapons sent by the Special Zone 2, led their workers, and successfully launched!

Led by members of the military command, they launched attacks on the puppet police stations, puppet government agencies, and Japanese-owned factories!

Suddenly, Shanghai was in flames!

And this is just the beginning.

……

"Secretary, the uprising went very smoothly!" Zhang Anping reported to Dai Chunfeng and said: "Since the first 'horse' of the chain horse has moved, it is time for the second 'horse' to move as well!"

Boss Dai picked up the phone and said majestically after answering the call:

"Give me the order to activate!"

At this moment, Boss Dai seemed to see countless workers roaring and rushing towards the Japanese.

"Anping, I have to say, you have thought very carefully!" Although he had said this with emotion when he first heard about Zhang Anping's plan, after the "horse" was launched in the second lesson, Boss Dai still couldn't help but say it again Read it again.

"Hey, it's mainly because when I read history, I saw too many examples of failures because the scope was too broad."

Zhang Anping said: "Especially for the Yellow Turban Uprising, they were so well prepared, but at the critical moment they had to act hastily because of a traitor's informant."

“That’s why I didn’t expand.”

When Zhang Anping said that he did not expand the scope, he was referring to the number of factory owners who revolted - if it is limited to the majority of people, he will definitely pursue the goal of attracting more people to join the uprising.

The greater the number of people and the greater the scale, the greater the joy.

But Zhang Anping did not do this.

He carefully selected thirty-nine factory owners and told them about the uprising only an hour before the uprising.

The agents responsible for contacting these factory owners only learned of the uprising three hours before the uprising.

This ensured that secrets would not be leaked—which is why Zhang Anping chose to lead the uprising through factory owners.

But how can Zhang Anping do things "just like that"?
These thirty-nine rebellious factory owners and more than a thousand workers were only the first wave of the uprising!
More factory owners are just in Zhang Anping's "potential list". They are the second horse in this chain of horses. When Zhang Anping laid out the first "horse", he sent people to other factories. The Lord contacted secretly.

However, they did not identify themselves, but maintained relatively close contact.

Until August 13, more than thirty agents were responsible for gathering the "lines" in their hands in the name of a party.

One person can contact five or six factory owners and more than thirty agents, and he can summon nearly two hundred small, medium and micro factory owners together.

When the first "horse" took the step of uprising, these people began to show their cards.

The conditions for military reunification are very tempting:

Immediately launch a workers' uprising, follow the command, and after fighting out of Shanghai, the military commander will be responsible for helping these factory owners rebuild their factories in the rear. If you are willing to join the military to kill the enemy and serve the country, you can join the Loyalty and National Salvation Army!

Do these factory owners, who are "dead now and waiting for the death of the country," have any other choice?
No!

"The Japanese won't let us live! Then we will fight with the Japanese! Only by fighting will we have a way to survive!"

"Director Zhang is right! Let's fight! We lost our family business with our lives! Now at this critical moment of life and death, isn't it all about fighting for your life? Fight like hell!"

Amid angry roars, the owners of more than a hundred small, medium and micro factories mobilized workers to stage an uprising. After blowing up the factories they had worked so hard to guard, they attacked their targets with endless anger.

Japanese factories, various traitor institutions, pseudo government departments, pseudo police stations, etc. are all targets of their attacks!

...At the same time, several puppet armies in Shanghai also...revolted.

However, compared with the battalion-level uprising during the explosion of the arsenal group, the uprising within the puppet army this time was very weak - mainly because after the last time, the Japanese purged the puppet army and also restricted the power of the puppet army officers. restrictions, a large number of Japanese consultants are filling it.

Therefore, this uprising within the puppet army did not become as devastating as the last time - even if Zhang Anping deliberately did not use the nails in the puppet army during the July 7th Uprising, this uprising did not completely destroy Shanghai. of puppet military power.

Although it did not get out of control like last time, the uprising within the puppet army also effectively delayed the puppet army's actions, making them afraid to suppress the uprising within Shanghai at the first time.

After the rebel army had to break away from the fighting and relocate, the puppet army did not enter Shanghai to suppress the uprising.

Because the proposal of a traitor was strongly approved by most Japanese consultants:
"Everyone, Taijun, we can't go out now!"

"Last time Zhang Shihao instigated a rebellion! Although Zhang Shihao is dead, who knows whether he deployed a large number of people? This time our internal rebellion feels like it started in an anticlimax and ended in a tailspin. Is it possible that the resistance elements did it deliberately? ?”

"They want us to think that the restless elements inside have been exposed, so that we can enter Shanghai with confidence - if we enter Shanghai and have to divide our forces, and the resistance elements hiding among us rebel, there will be chaos. Make a ball!”

This conjecture was strongly agreed by the Japanese advisers, and then... the puppet army actually did not participate in the next operation, and even after the incident, a brutal purge was launched within the puppet army.

It is said that the traitor who made the suggestion presided over the purge afterwards, and his cruel methods won unanimous praise from Japanese consultants.

Well, this traitor, his name is... (Waistcoat, occupy it quickly!)

……

Matsushiro Yoshitaka's face was extremely dark, even darker than when he was a consultant in the Northwest Army.

The whole of Shanghai is in chaos!

"Captain, there are at least one hundred and fifty revolting mobs!"

"It will take at least three hours for the imperial army to move in on a large scale."

"During this period... we... we are afraid we will suffer heavy losses."

"Bullshit! They are all losers!" Yoshitaka Matsuro roared angrily: "The entire Shanghai Special City police system has more than 6,000 police officers!"

"Extra-high school, No. 76 has thousands of agents!"

"The Military Police Headquarters has three thousand military police!"

"There are four regiments of appeasement troops outside the city!"

"But why would the military commander make such a fuss!"

"Chief Tsukamoto, where are the people from the Special Higher Education Course?"

"Director Li, where is the person on No. 76?"

Faced with the cross-examination of Matsuro Yoshitaka, Tsukamoto and Li Lixing did not answer.

What about people?

Aren't their people responsible for the security work here at the Great People's Association?

After the angry questioning, Matsuro Yoshitaka took a deep breath and calmed down, then gritted his teeth and said:
"All events at the Da Min Association are cancelled!"

"Section Chief Tsukamoto, Director Li, please lead your people to put down the rebellion!"

"I hope that before dark, you can cooperate with the pacification army, the imperial army and the military police to clear out all the mobs!"

"Yes (Hi Yi)!"

As soon as Tsukamoto and Li Lixing stood up, Matsuro Yoshitaka's secretary rushed in with a happy face:

"Director, Director, good news!"

"Mr. Okamoto gathered his merchant escorts together and summoned the overseas residents to distribute weapons. Now there are thousands of people gathered!"

"There are more overseas Chinese who are responding to Mr. Okamoto's call and actively joining the escort team to defend Hongkou!"

This is really good news. At this time, this news is considered good news.

Matsushiro Yoshitaka looked at the map marked with groups of mobs. Suddenly, he let out a sigh and said, "In the direction of Hongkou, are there only a few groups of mobs?"

The secretary guessed: "Hongkou is a gathering place for our expatriates. During the Songhu War, a large number of our expatriates actively participated in the escort and had extensive training. The resistance elements should know this, so they did not put their main force here. Bar."

Matsushiro Yoshitaka suddenly said strangely: "So, Hongkou is safe, right?"

The secretary didn't know why, so he nodded cautiously.

"The rebellion within the pacification army was delayed. The manpower of No. 76 and the Special High School Section was delayed in the old city south of the concession. The mobs were mainly in the west and north of the concession."

"There are many mobs north of the concession, and the threat is not small. If... Okamoto's people attack..."

Yoshitaka Matsushiro murmured: "Using trained guards to fight against mobs is naturally a matter of capturing them - the mobs north of the concession will be wiped out quickly, and the mobs in the area west of the concession will be surrounded on three sides! "

The more he murmured, the more excited Matsuro Yoshitaka became.

Okamoto Heiji's people are actually the key to breaking the situation!
He immediately picked up the phone and dialed Okamoto Heiji's number - he had memorized this number before but never dialed it.

Fortunately, the call was connected!

"This is Yoshitaka Matsumuro, Okamoto-kun, please answer the phone!"

After a while, the other end of the phone replied: "Mr. Okamoto said he is not here!"

Then, the phone was hung up.

Matsuro Yoshitaka was angry and called one after another. The person on the other end always maintained this humiliating rhetoric.

After several attempts, Yoshitaka Matsuro knew that Okamoto hated him and could not negotiate.

He could only contact the garrison headquarters and ask the garrison headquarters to send troops to Okamoto Hei.

……

"Hey, this little guy has actually gathered more than a thousand people?" Boss Dai looked at the latest information and whispered to Zhang Anping:

"You brat, you can't take off your clothes, can you?"

The reason why Boss Dai asked this was because the intelligence just said that in Hongkou, the Japanese powerful Okamoto Heiji gathered an armed force of more than a thousand people and fought out of Hongkou.

In Zhang Anping's plan, this force was calculated.

Because...Zhang Anping relies on this power to deliver guns!
He was not a professional arms dealer. He did not bring an arms system, and the weapons he prepared for the revolting workers only amounted to just over 2,000.

Therefore, he arranged the weapons as much as possible in the area west of the concession.

North of the concession, the revolting workers had only a few hundred weapons in their hands.

It is relatively difficult to capture multiple police stations and police armories with these weapons.

Therefore, Zhang Anping planned to ask Jiang Sian to send a gun - but the estimated number was eight hundred!
But now, the number has doubled!

Jiang Sian is one of his own, but the armed forces assembled by Jiang Sian are orthodox Japanese!

More than a thousand people came in force. How could the rebellious workers north of the concession capture them with hundreds of guns?

"Don't worry, Chief! Because... I have prepared a donkey-cart war god for them!" Zhang Anping comforted his cousin with confidence.

Boss Dai looked confused:
"Donkey-cart war god?"

What the hell?

What am I asking? What was your answer? !

Zhang Anping explained:

"The Song Dynasty had a war that theoretically could not be lost, but the Song Dynasty had a god of war!"

"He staged a donkey-cart drift on the Sorghum River and turned the tide of the war around."

"You...you..." Boss Dai had never heard of such a joke about the ancients. He was speechless immediately, but when he thought about it, he felt that it was very right - Zhao Guangyi ran away in a donkey cart and the Song army lost the emperor. A huge defeat. Even so, the Liao army was defeated miserably, and it was difficult to expand the results. If he didn't run away...

He paused and asked, "What do you mean?"

"On the Japanese side, the leader of the team is Xu Zhongyi, the new era god of donkey-cart war that I prepared for them!"

Zhang Anping held back his laughter and told him his arrangement.

Xu Zhongyi, he is... so familiar with doing this kind of thing!
