Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

For the Japanese, is the pseudo Fourth Division trustworthy?
Believable!

Because the spies stationed in the puppet 4th Division could communicate directly with the garrison headquarters.

Because the Japanese spies stationed in the puppet 4th Division told the Security Command with certainty:

The Fourth Division did not encounter any problems at all in their hands!
At this time, the Japanese army needed to defeat the puppet Fifth Division right under their belly with a thunderous force.

In this way, we could fight the enemy first, break the "momentum" created by the Military Control Commission, and then annihilate all the rebellious puppet troops, leaving them no chance to attack Shanghai.

For the Japanese, it didn't matter how many puppet troops rebelled. With the strength of the Shanghai garrison, they wouldn't care even if all these puppet troops were replaced by national troops, let alone that they were just a few puppet troops.

The only thing they didn't want to happen was Shanghai being attacked.

In the past, a small group of Military Control Commission members could cover up any noise they made, no matter how big it was. But if they were attacked by several regiments, they would lose face in front of the whole world.

This is what they don't want to happen.

[The Military Control Commission thought that by creating such a "momentum", they could win a great victory, but this is war, not Go! War depends on the combat capabilities of both sides, not the so-called "momentum"! ]

[The Military Control Commission, they are good at plotting and scheming, but when it comes to fighting, they are the weakest of the weak! ]

This was the unanimous opinion of the Japanese officers. On the premise of trying their best to prevent the rebels from attacking Shanghai, they did not think that this battle would be difficult to fight.

"One battalion! In half an hour, four regiments of rebels will be wiped out!"

These were the exact words of the captain of the Japanese battalion who was ordered to go out. Bringing the 4th Division along was just to let them clean up the mess instead of expecting them to fight.

……

Just when the Japanese were preparing to deal with the Fifth Division, various supporting news came from various places. For example, news came from Taicang County claiming that a group of Imperial Army came to take over the county town, but was driven away by the militia led by the chairman of the maintenance association.

Various pieces of information confirmed the accuracy of the intelligence on this large-scale rebellion, and the Japanese no longer hesitated and decided to end this farce as quickly as possible.

On the way to the designated location, the Kawasaki Battalion encountered the Fourth Division which had hurriedly arrived. The Japanese soldiers ignored this friendly force that was cleaning up for them, and after arriving at the designated location, they deployed their troops without hesitation. After a round of artillery fire, they launched an attack on several bases of the puppet Fifth Division.

This is the consistent arrogance of the Japanese. They looked down on the Chinese. One battalion dared to chase after a division of the National Army. Facing the puppet army that they personally supported but never took seriously, would they ask them to say hello before fighting?
The puppet Fifth Division was confused. How could the Imperial Army defeat them?
Before the Kawasaki Battalion launched the attack, they specially sent people to inquire, but they happened to encounter the attacking Japanese army. The Japanese army ignored the shouts of the puppet army and shot them to death with accurate shooting.

The pseudo Fifth Division was stunned. What the hell was going on!
But in the face of the Japanese's constant shooting and artillery bombardment, even if the Japanese spies stationed in power howled at them not to fight back, even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered, not to mention the puppet soldiers carrying fire sticks.

They started fighting back.

This counterattack made the Kawasaki team even more certain:
The Fifth Division rebelled!
……

The Kawasaki Battalion launched an attack on the Fifth Division in full swing. With one charge, they easily captured one position after another.

Just when the Kawasaki Battalion thought they could easily defeat the rebels, the situation on the 4th Division's side suddenly changed.

The spies of the Special High Section were patrolling everywhere. Facing the 4th Division, whose military appearance and discipline were acceptable, the spies were very excited at this time.

During this major change, only the 4th Division did not move and fully cooperated with the Imperial Army's attack. This is all thanks to them!

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but praise the translator Xu Tian who was following them.

"Xu Tianjun, we are grateful to you this time. We will repay you generously in the future!"

Facing the Japanese compliments, Xu Tian remained silent and maintained his "grace" until the Japanese soldier next to him exclaimed:

"Huh? Why are they converging towards us?"

"Xu Tianjun, why don't you ask them what they are going to do?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Tian did not translate as usual, but answered directly:

"Ikeda-kun, they...are planning an uprising."

"uprising?"

"It's a mutiny."

"Baga!" The Japanese spy shouted angrily at first, but then reacted and looked at Xu Tian in disbelief.

Xu Tian stared at the Japanese spy motionlessly.

Ikeda responded quickly: "Are you a resistance member?"

The spies around looked at Xu Tian in horror, unable to believe it.

Xu Tian said casually in Japanese: "Deputy Chief of the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station and Head of the Eighth Intelligence Group."

嘶

The spies gasped and could hardly believe their ears.

Someone wanted to draw his gun, but the moment he moved, countless black gun muzzles were pointed at him at the same time.

"Everyone, your mission is accomplished. You can go to hell and meet your emperor now."

Xu Tian said this lightly and turned around. The moment he turned around, a series of gunshots rang out. These Japanese spies who were still complacent a second ago went to hell at the same time.

Some lucky ones saw the members of the special committee appear in front of Xu Tian and call him "Commander" before their consciousness faded.

Unfortunately, their luck ended there, and they were unable to force themselves to ask:
Why is this happening!

"Commander Xu, can we start now?"

Xu Tian took out a white towel and tied it around his left arm. Following his action, everyone started to do the same. When everyone had tied the towel around their arms, Xu Tian said in a deep voice:
"The uprising begins!"

The uprisings within the puppet army were actually all coerced.

That is: there are only a few participants, and the vast majority of people are forced to participate.

Therefore, after an uprising, it is usually necessary to resolve the existing officer system as soon as possible, then quickly control the military power and achieve the goal through coercion.

But the current conditions of the Fourth Division are really too favorable.

Almost all the stubborn officers were caught and detained. Most of the officers were acting or acting officers. It was very easy for the officers in power to revolt.

In addition, the Fourth Division had mixed in a lot of "sand" during this period. At the first moment of the uprising, these sands represented the "public opinion", which enabled the uprising to proceed smoothly. All the troops of the Fourth Division completed the change of flag at the first moment.

It can be said that the uprising of the pseudo Fourth Division was easier than the later uprising of the National Army!
The Special Committee was still in power, which meant that the existing command system of the Fourth Division had not been greatly changed, so the Special Committee issued a combat order at the first opportunity:

Attack the Japanese army in front of us! Although most of the rebel soldiers were afraid instinctively, in a mass action, individual will had no effect at all. Unless the attack was frustrated or hit by the enemy, this army without sufficient structure, faith and will would inevitably collapse.

But...how could Zhang Anping not think of this?

The real killer is not them, but the Songhu Corps!

When the pseudo Fourth Division revolted, the hidden Songhu Corps also arrived at the designated battlefield. When the Fourth Division launched an attack on the Japanese chrysanthemums, the Songhu Corps, which had been sharpening its knives, completely showed its fangs!
……

The Kawasaki team was stunned by the sudden change.

Its current situation was as if a flood was about to occur, but at this moment, someone stabbed its anus with a weapon.

It was clear that the "rebels" were about to be completely defeated, but the friendly forces behind them suddenly turned into evil spirits?

What's the situation?
The most tragic thing was the artillery unit belonging to the Kawasaki Battalion. They were originally in the rear, but suddenly it became a battlefield. The artillery units with close combat capabilities were almost zero and were surrounded and engaged in close combat. How could they have any chance of survival?
The morale of the 4th Division, which easily captured the artillery unit of the Kawasaki Battalion, soared. Thinking that the Japanese invaders were no more capable than them, they rushed towards the Japanese army with howls.

But they saw a scene they would never forget.

A fresh force came out from the side and attacked the Kawasaki Battalion, which was sweeping away the Japanese army like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, right under their noses. The Japanese army, which usually looked down on others, was completely helpless against the attack of this fresh force!

The sudden appearance of the Songhu Corps, the 4th Division that was ready to go, and the pseudo 5th Division that was about to be defeated but had been inexplicably defeated, these three forces sandwiched the Kawasaki Battalion in the middle. As soon as the battle started, the Kawasaki Battalion lost all its support units and logistics units. Under such circumstances, a large number of Japanese devils were killed in confusion.

Even if the remaining Japanese soldiers wanted to organize a defense line and resist, where would they find the time to do so?
Their fate was determined the moment they stepped onto this battlefield!
The puppet Fifth Division, which had been badly beaten by the Japanese, didn't care about anything at this time and carried forward the spirit of hitting the drowning dog, and attacked the Japanese to death. They would surely lose if they played against the wind, but their combat effectiveness would rise sharply if they played with the wind.

Faced with the sudden change in the war situation, Kawasaki personally experienced the fall from heaven to hell. When his troops were about to be completely wiped out, he sent a farewell message to the Security Command with endless anger:
The Chinese cannot be trusted! They are all liars! The Fourth Division is full of liars! All the Imperial Army has rebelled! Long live the Empire! Long live the Emperor!
Kawasaki destroyed the radio and code book with his own hands, issued the order to commit suicide, and then leaned on his command knife to show his bravery to the Chinese before his death.

However, the fastest counterattack was by the puppet 5th Division. They were hit hard by the Japanese and were almost wiped out. They were inexplicably on the road of no return. After seeing the culprit, they no longer cared about the Japanese's Bushido spirit. A group of infantry rushed forward, and Captain Kawasaki was pierced by countless bayonets and died while screaming.

Before his death, Kawasaki saw many of his men raising their weapons in surrender, which was hard for Kawasaki, who was deeply influenced by Bushido and militarism, to believe:
"Eight……"

Before he could finish his words, his vitality disappeared in an instant as the bayonet was pulled out.

As the last gunshot fell silent, this sudden, fierce but short-lived battle came to an end.

The command of the Fourth Uprising Division looked at the battlefield in a daze, unable to believe that they had actually wiped out an entire Japanese battalion!
"We win! We win!"

While the soldiers were celebrating to their heart's content, the core members of the Special Committee still could not believe that they had achieved such a victory.

It was not until the fifty or so prisoners who were being escorted passed by them that they confirmed that they had really won.

They did not have much experience in cleaning up the battlefield after defeating the Japanese, but the Songhu Corps next door had no shortage of experience.

Liu Xinjie and Li Xingyu were busy at a rapid pace, dealing with the prisoners while handling the remnants of the Puppet Fifth Division.

The puppet Fifth Division had nothing to do with the uprising, but it did make a contribution in the final attack on the Japanese invaders. At this time, they were waiting for treatment at a loss. Liu Xinjie made a decision on the spot and decided to merge the remnants of the puppet Fifth Division with more than 1,000 people in three battlefields into the uprising Fourth Division and treat it as a battlefield uprising.

"Clean up the battlefield! Prepare to evacuate!"

……

Songhu Corps Command.

Zhang Anping looked at the good news and smiled.

He had not expected the puppet Fifth Division, but unexpectedly this puppet army became the main force to deal with the Kawasaki Battalion. Although nearly a thousand people ran away, Liu Xinjie was able to recruit more than a thousand people into the uprising Fourth Division, which strengthened the power of the uprising.

"A division defected and a battalion was completely wiped out. The Japanese must be having a hard time at this time!"

Zhang Anping looked far away in the direction of Shanghai with a creepy smile on his face.

Before I could even play my cards, it seemed like the Japanese had run out of cards.

Ha, now we have to “mobilize troops to assist the king”!
……

Security Command.

The Japanese officers did not dare to make a sound.

A battalion, which could chase an entire division of the National Army on the battlefield in the past, was completely wiped out in just over twenty minutes!

The "most trustworthy" Fourth Division defected at a critical moment, and a battalion was completely wiped out. This was not only a sign of one side gaining while the other lost, but also proved that the enemy's ambitions were incredibly big.

Maybe the other party really wants to take over Shanghai!

Finally, the person in charge of the headquarters spoke:

"Gentlemen, the Kawasaki Battalion's defeat was an accident! But the most important thing right now is to protect Shanghai and not let the enemy's conspiracy succeed!"

The Chief of Staff said in a serious tone: "Sir, mobilize the troops! The Imperial Army currently in Shanghai is more than enough for defense, but it is not enough to suppress the rebels in a short period of time."

"And if Shanghai's emptiness is exploited by the enemy, it will be even more humiliating!"

At this time, on the Japanese map, those puppet troops were still "rebels", which meant that they had almost no chess pieces to use.

As I said, they scoffed at the combat effectiveness of the puppet army, but Shanghai must not be besieged and attacked by the puppet army, otherwise they would lose face!

"Mobilize the troops! Immediately mobilize them from Hangzhou and Suzhou! They must reach Shanghai in the shortest possible time!"

"Shanghai, we must not let them attack!"

"Absolutely not!"

……

"Did you move?"

Zhang Anping received telegrams from Suzhou and Hangzhou. He sent people to keep an eye on the situation early and report immediately if the enemy made a move.

Now, the enemy moves!
The situation was better than he had expected. Through his maze, he successfully made the Japanese believe that he was going to block the reinforcements from Nanjing on the Suzhou-Kunshan-Taicang line. Therefore, the Japanese transferred several squadrons from near Suzhou, resulting in the number of Japanese garrisons in Suzhou being only three infantry squadrons plus a regiment of puppet troops.

The reason why the Japanese army made such a misjudgment was that Kawasaki claimed in a telegram before his death that he had been ambushed by the main force of the Chujiu Army.

The Zhongjiu Army was a major threat to the Japanese army in Shanghai. When they learned that the main force of the Zhongjiu Army had secretly arrived near Shanghai, they naturally ignored other places.

And in the current situation where the puppet army is "changing flags" on a large scale, one can guess with one's eyes closed what the situation of this puppet army regiment is.

The expected situation of the main force of the Loyalist Army versus the Japanese army battalion turned into the main force of the Loyalist Army defeating three infantry squadrons. This situation is simply amazing!
After checking the time, he gave the order: "Send a telegram to Commander-in-Chief Xu, and start in half an hour! In one hour, I want to see the telegram about Suzhou changing its flag!"

"Yes!" (End of this chapter)
