Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

December 12, 7 a.m., Songhu Command Center.

The Songhu Command was theoretically one of the six major commands of the Loyal Rescue Army, but in many cases it was often "hooked up" with the General Command, serving as a part-time member of the General Command of the Loyal Rescue Army.

The same is true this time.

Xu Baichuan, who had "occupied the magpie's nest", stood in the command center, his eyes fixed on the sand table in front of him. His gaze seemed to pass through the space, through the sand table, and directly landed on the real area.

There, the main force of the Songhu Column, which had been secretly assembled, was bluntly saying to a speeding Japanese army train:
Robbery!

The battle broke out suddenly.

The Japanese recruits, who had just arrived from Shanghai by train at seven in the morning, were "eating hot pot and singing songs" in the stuffy carriage, and then... then the explosion occurred.

After the sudden explosion, the military train overturned. Before the Japanese soldiers in the carriage could recover from the sudden rollover, shouts rang out all around them. In the blink of an eye, countless ambushes rushed out from both sides of the track. Before the Japanese soldiers, led by grassroots non-commissioned officers, could organize an effective defense, crackling long-range firepower poured down first.

Bazookas, mortars, and grenade launchers, the three major firepower fired simultaneously, made the already confused and chaotic Japanese soldiers even more confused - they ignored the crazy shouts of the grassroots officers and rushed around everywhere in the chaos.

This scene was completely different from what they had imagined after being indoctrinated with militarist ideas. There was no heroic fighting on the battlefield, only reckless rushing through their own chaotic camp.

Many new recruits completely collapsed after seeing the remains of their comrades or facing the calls for help from their former comrades. They actually burst into tears in fear at this time.

The non-commissioned officers tried their best to re-establish order, but the most precious time was wasted by these stupid new recruits. By the time they had regained order by killing people under the bombardment, the Loyal Rescue Army had already rushed into the range.

Bullets began to pour down like raindrops.

The Japanese soldiers were confused. Didn't it mean that it would take several Chinese soldiers to get a grandfather-level rifle that had been used for decades?
How come...their firepower is so terrifying? !

The order that was organized with great difficulty collapsed in an instant.

The Japanese non-commissioned officers once again tried to control the recruits by killing them, but it was too late. The Zhongjiu Army had already rushed to within a hundred meters of them, alternating between cover and attack, and the pouring bullets completely suppressed them.

In the past, an entire squadron of the Japanese army would be killed in battle without a single soldier surrendering.

But that was only once!

Not to mention the new recruits who were sent to reinforce the front line - when people around shouted "surrender your weapons and you won't be killed" in Japanese, countless Japanese recruits put down their weapons in fear.

Although there were still Japanese soldiers resisting, facing such a great situation, all resistance was in vain.

Surrounded from the front and back by the Loyal Rescue Army, the last resistance finally calmed down after a storm.

As the fighting subsided, a telegram was sent to the Songhu Command.

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, Commander Li called and said that the battle is over. A total of 91 Japanese soldiers were killed and 580 were captured. The battle lasted... 13 minutes and 32 seconds."

After hearing the staff officer's report, Xu Baichuan couldn't help but laugh: "The time is still zero and the whole number, haha, this Li Xingyu!"

Shaking his head, he said, "Tell Li Xingyu to quickly clean up the battlefield and retreat."

……

The news of the attack on the military train was immediately transmitted to the Shanghai Garrison Command.

The Japanese officers in the security command were almost furious. They set out from the North Railway Station at 7 o'clock and were attacked in less than an hour - this was like a slap in the face at the gate of Shanghai.

Because the military train could not be contacted, the security command quickly sent an armored train for support and also sent a reconnaissance aircraft to investigate the situation on the battlefield.

Before the armored train arrived, the reconnaissance plane flew back and handed over several pictures to the security command.

then……

Then the security headquarters fell apart.

Baga, how can the warriors of the empire surrender?
Baga, how could the warriors of the empire surrender on such a large scale?
The angry garrison commander issued two orders:

1. Dispatch the Shanghai garrison to pursue and encircle the Songhu Column of the Loyal Rescue Army from multiple directions - it is a rare opportunity to encounter the Songhu Column at the gate of Shanghai, so how can we waste the opportunity to pursue and encircle it?
2. Send out aircraft to carry out bombing indiscriminately against friend or foe.

The Japanese army considered surrender as a disgrace, and suddenly hundreds of soldiers surrendered. They would not allow these surrenders to become a point of shame. Moreover, Zhang Shihao was particularly good at public opinion warfare. If these surrendered soldiers were finally controlled by the Military Control Commission, Zhang Shihao would certainly use public opinion to attack them on a large scale.

That's why such an order was issued.

As the order from the garrison headquarters was issued, another battle between the Songhu Column and the Shanghai garrison began.

……

East Field Army.

After disguising himself, Doiyuan temporarily lived secretly in the East China Field Army's headquarters. The "general" stayed at the Army Hotel as usual. Doiyuan even deliberately showed his face inside the Army Hotel an hour ago.

At this time, Feiyuan was staring at the map of Shanghai in a daze. Faced with the increasingly transparent actions of the Military Control Commission, out of the vigilance of an old spy, he always felt that something was wrong.

Especially since he and Higashino had discussed the situation before, and the two of them had surprisingly consistent judgments - this strengthened Higashino's determination, but also made Tobihara alarmed.

The opponent is Zhang Shihao, an opponent who is more cunning than a fox, more ferocious than a hungry wolf, and braver than a wild boar. He even has an appetite comparable to that of a brown bear. When he and Dongye agree on the plan of the Military Control Commission, this is very likely, or even certain, to be the result that Zhang Shihao wants.

But the fat guy did not say anything. Since this was the result that Zhang Shihao wanted, he just went with the flow and let Dongye step on the landmine. He could jump out of this framework and look at the opponent's plan from a higher level.

Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what Zhang Shihao's real purpose was.

Tu Feiyuan withdrew his gaze from the map, thought for a while, and finally decided to call the navy - he knew that the navy's approximate action time would be this month, but the specific time was not very clear. Seeing that the activities of the Military Control Commission were becoming more and more transparent, he felt it necessary to find out more.

But after the call was made, several soft and hard rejections came mercilessly.

A dignified army general was simply ignored by that damn navy idiot.

Even though Tu Feiyuan thought he had good manners, he was still so angry that he gnashed his teeth and cursed:
Baka, all the navy idiots should work hard!

At this time, Tu Feiyuan even thought maliciously: If the Military Control Commission's action this time is aimed at those damn navy idiots, I must wait until they are almost dealt with before I go over to clean up the mess.

The fact that the army general could develop such malice shows how humiliating these soft and hard nails were to the fat guy.

He walked around the room angrily for more than ten times before he finally controlled his emotions.

He dismissed the ill will in his heart, but he also made up his mind to use his influence to increase restrictions on the navy in the future and let them know who the fucking General of the Imperial Army is!
I put my thoughts back into the plan for the Military Control Commission. While I was thinking, my secretary came in quietly to report:
"Sir, Chief Dongye wants to see you."

Tu Feiyuan calmly put away the straw paper on the table, then gestured for him to come in.

As soon as Dongye came in, he went straight to the point:
"Sir, the Security Command has received news that a military train carrying new soldiers was attacked by the Loyal Rescue Army in the suburbs of Shanghai. The Security Command has urgently dispatched two battalions to encircle and suppress the attack. In addition, a division and a brigade of the Imperial Army are being mobilized."

"In addition, according to the information I have, about 400 recruits were captured in the attacked military train."

After hearing this, Doiyuan's eyes flickered. He looked at Dongye, waiting for Dongye's next words.

Dong Ye took a deep breath: "Based on Zhang Shihao's layout habits, I suspect he is about to take action!"

"Yes, he is about to take action..."

Tu Feiyuan murmured, and then said solemnly: "Mr. Dongye, do you think Zhang Shihao knows the time when the Empire will take action against the United States?!"

Through the [Blue Star Animal Kingdom], it can be determined that the Military Intelligence Bureau has learned of Japan's strategy, but intelligence is a mixed bag of truth and falsehood. The Shanghai spy agency has been using false news to deny the speculation in the Animal Kingdom. Judging from the information feedback from the concession, the effect is still remarkable.

The concession was convinced that the content on Animal Kingdom was "sensational".

With Zhang Shihao's ability, he was able to guess Japan's next strategy, and neither Higashino nor Doi-Yuan found it strange.

But if the other party can grasp the exact time, it would be terrifying!

Dong Ye was shocked and said in disbelief:
"That's impossible, isn't it? As far as I know, even the Navy Headquarters in Shanghai doesn't know the exact time."

"Don't they know?" Fatty sneered and his heart moved slightly. If there was really intelligence that could confirm that Zhang Shihao knew the exact time, he could use it to suppress the navy.

Retracting his scattered thoughts, Tu Feiyuan said thoughtfully:

"From what I understand, the Navy Red Deer should be launching an operation in the near future—"

He had rarely mentioned this topic before, and even when he did, it was usually hinted at, but now he said it explicitly:

"Mr. Dongye, I don't think you need to be restrained any longer. Now focus on dealing with the Military Control Commission!"

The Japanese during this period had a problem that tormented them, which was that they had to restrain their hands and feet and not let the concession see that they had the intention of swallowing up the concession. Apart from taking advantage of Kato's reputation to make a big fuss, they often tied their own hands and feet and plotted against the Military Control Commission.

The situation was already being crushed by Zhang Shihao, and now he had all his strength but was unable to use it. It would be a blessing if the chief of the agency could survive.

Dong Ye was overjoyed when he heard that the restrictions on him had been lifted, but he asked cautiously, "Sir, if it affects the empire's strategy, the navy will be in trouble..."

"I told you that the Navy will take action soon. Even if the Concession guesses our purpose, it will take enough time to verify and discuss it!"

"Hi Yi!"

Dongye was completely relieved and left while suppressing his excitement.

In this case, from now on, he will concentrate the strength of the entire East China Field Army and wait for the Military Control Commission's offensive to launch!
After Dongye left, Tufeiyuan's eyes became profound.

When he was thinking before, he always couldn't figure out what the Military Control Commission was going to do. Even if he rejected Zhang Shihao's plan, he still couldn't be sure what the Military Control Commission would do. Now, he still couldn't figure it out.

He even had this idea in his mind:
Is Zhang Shihao thinking about taking over Shanghai?

He knew that this idea was ridiculous, and even suspected in his heart that Zhang Shihao might have "mobilized troops" just to make his side think wildly. But after thinking about it, Tu Feiyuan made up his mind:
Since you, Zhang Shihao, used the Loyal Rescue Army as bait to "transfer" two battalions from Shanghai, I will secretly prepare three battalions!

If everything is under control, these three battalions are naturally useless. But if Zhang Shihao has really calculated his own situation, then these three armed forces that were beyond Zhang Shihao's expectations can naturally change the situation at the critical moment.

He is an army general. Although he is not currently serving in the China Expeditionary Force, as a general, it is not difficult for him to secretly mobilize three battalions to Shanghai.

……

With the intervention of Doihara, the Japanese army in Nanjing secretly mobilized three battalions of Japanese troops and rushed to Shanghai by train.

In order to keep it secret, Nanjing also put in a lot of effort. First, they used the pretext of an attack on the railway line to temporarily send three battalions of Japanese troops to Nanjing. After that, they quickly restored the operation of the railway line. The reason for restoration rather than temporary martial law was to make everything reasonable.

The Japanese troops in Nanjing even took control of Nanjing's railway dispatching room in an attempt to temporarily block the news.

……

Nanjing, underground party’s secret communication station.

Six o'clock in the evening.

The courier hurriedly delivered a sealed intelligence and informed his comrades:
"This is information from the dispatch room. Japanese spies suddenly and secretly blocked the dispatch room. Comrade 'Water Ghost' finally sent this out through the sewage pipe."

The comrades at the communication station immediately realized that the intelligence was extraordinary. After receiving the intelligence, they immediately sent someone to pass it on to their superiors via relay.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the underground party leader in Nanjing received the information and immediately began to translate it.

[At 1:00 p.m., the Japanese army secretly requisitioned several locomotives to head toward Shanghai, stopping at Baohua for an hour.]

"Baohua Station?"

The person in charge's eyes narrowed. There are Japanese troops stationed in Baohua. Could it be that the Japanese secretly mobilized these locomotives in order to transfer troops from Baohua?
If it is a troop deployment, where is the destination?

He asked someone to find a way to contact Baohua, but found that the phone at Baohua was unreachable. He immediately realized that the Japanese had done this deliberately to block the news.

The person in charge originally planned to secretly send investigators to Baohua for investigation, but his deputy objected:
"The superiors have instructed that any recent intelligence on Japanese troop movements must be reported first. The Japanese army is suspected of secretly transferring troops from Baohua, so we must report this immediately!"

"You also said it was suspected! We must be responsible for the authenticity of the intelligence!"

"We will send someone to investigate later. Let's report the intelligence first and let our superiors make the judgment."

The deputy's insistence attracted the attention of the person in charge. After thinking for a while, he decided to follow the deputy's suggestion and report the information first, and then discuss the details after the investigation.

At 8:16 p.m., intelligence from Nanjing was transferred to Shanghai.

Comrade Li's expression changed drastically after receiving this information, and he couldn't help but murmured:
"Are you coming here for Shanghai?"

A Japanese mixed brigade is stationed in the Baohua area of ​​Nanjing. It is a garrison force specially used to garrison Nanjing after the Japanese suffered losses. As the New Fourth Army and the Loyalty Rescue Army have been extremely active recently, the Japanese are reluctant to send out the mixed brigade in Baohua.

Now, the mixed brigade suspected to be Baohua has been arranged by the Japanese army to come to Shanghai?
There were only a few hours left before the uprising, and in the morning, the Songhu Column of the Zhongjiu Army took the risk of angering the Japanese and transferred two Japanese battalions. If this brigade went straight to Shanghai, then the uprising in Shanghai would be in jeopardy...

Sister Qian said, "Commander, maybe this Japanese army is coming for the Songhu Column."

"If they are coming for the Songhu Column, they shouldn't be so secretive - let's go now and meet Zhang Shihao!"

Comrade Li did not dare to delay and immediately took Sister Qian to the Military Control Commission's base.

8:53pm.

Zhang Anping hurried to the joint command center which would not be officially established until 11 o'clock, and met Comrade Li who was anxiously walking around in this secret base.

"Mr. Li, what information is so urgent?"

Comrade Li handed the re-copied intelligence to Zhang Anping without saying a word.

After Zhang Anping took a quick glance, his expression became cautious.

He made the judgment without hesitation:

"Here we go for Shanghai!"

The basis for Zhang Anping's judgment was very simple. If they were to assist the Shanghai garrison in dealing with the Songhu Loyalist Rescue Army, then the departure time would definitely be earlier than two o'clock.

After making the judgment, Zhang Anping closed his eyes and pondered.

It takes less than six hours to travel from Nanjing to Shanghai without stopping. However, in order to cooperate with the actions of the Songhu Column, the Southern Jiangsu Command of the Loyal Rescue Army carried out a large-scale railway line explosion in the Suzhou section. Based on the time the Japanese army took to repair the railway in the past, it would take the Japanese about three to four hours to deal with the aftermath of the explosion at the Southern Jiangsu Command.

In other words, if we don't take any blocking into consideration, an unknown number of enemies will arrive in Shanghai around 12 o'clock.

"We must stop it!"

Zhang Anping opened his eyes and said sternly, "We need to stop them for at least 24 hours."

"The Southern Jiangsu Command is now an empty shell," Wang Tianfeng said quickly. "The troops of the Southern Jiangsu Command have arrived in Jinxi and will join forces with the Songhu Column. The Southern Jiangsu Command has no more than 500 people in the Suzhou section, including two squadrons of new recruits."

As he spoke, he had already spread out the map and quickly searched for a suitable area for blocking based on his memory. He soon found a target and pointed at the map:

"If we want to stop them, it would be best to stop them in the area between Yangcheng Lake and Loujiang River, but we still need to face the Japanese troops from Suzhou and Kunshan."

“24 hours, it’s difficult.”

Wang Tianfeng raised the difficulty.

Zhang Anping withdrew his gaze from the map and said through gritted teeth, "We must fight no matter how difficult it is!"

"Send a message to Suzhou Station, gather all available forces to assist, send a message to the Southern Jiangsu Command, make sure to cut off the railway, make sure to stop this enemy force for more than 24 hours—"

"Tell them that they have no choice but to hold on! The Songhu Command will find a way to mobilize forces to support them. No matter what, 24 hours is the minimum requirement!"

Having said that, Zhang Anping turned and looked at Comrade Li.

"Mr. Li, the arrow is on the string and must be shot! We cannot retreat now - the blocking has begun in Yangcheng Lake, I hope your troops will do their best to support our troops!"

"If you can spare some manpower, I hope that your army will put aside past grudges and defend the Yangcheng Lake position with my Loyal Rescue Army!"

Comrade Li said solemnly: "Don't worry, we won't just watch the Japanese army rushing to our aid."

Zhang Anping nodded, and then said: "I suspect that after seeing that we transferred two battalions of Japanese troops from Shanghai, Tu Feiyuan felt uneasy and was eager to transfer troops."

"In this case, it won't be just one brigade, but at most 2 to 4 battalions."

"I've learned about Baohua's mixed brigade. It's barely second-rate. We can hold out for 24 hours!"

The sudden news interrupted the pre-arranged arrangements. After making the decision, Zhang Anping immediately set up a joint command center and all the preparation personnel were quickly in place.

Although both sides were anxious and angry, they had to be patient and wait and endure.

December 1941, 12, Hawaii time.

6:20 pm.

On the calm sea, a fleet of numerous steel behemoths, with 183 fighters and bombers, took off on time and rushed towards their targets.

Their goal is to...

Pearl Harbor!
6:30 minutes.

An American supply ship spotted a submarine outside Pearl Harbor.

6:45 minutes.

The US destroyer USS Ward attacked the submarine and it was sunk.

6:53 minutes.

The destroyer USS Ward reports attack on a submarine.

The war had actually broken out at this time.

But a dramatic scene occurred.

At 7:15, the U.S. Air Defense Command, which received the report of the attack submarine, also received a report that the radar station had discovered many aircraft (the Japanese second wave of attack flights).

Therefore, the Air Defense Command ordered:

This is our own B-17, which can shut down the radar station.

Pearl Harbor lost its last chance. (End of this chapter)
