Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Even when the three battalions transferred from Nanjing were blocked, Tu Feiyuan still couldn't guess what Zhang Anping was going to do.

It’s not that Fatty is so stupid that he can’t guess it, but from all the current signs, Zhang Shihao is clearly planning a large-scale action.

It even made Feiyuan think that Zhang Shihao wanted to occupy Shanghai.

Is there any criminal record for something like this?
Have!
Not only are there, but there are quite a few!

However, no big city has ever fallen because of this. Even looking at all the cases of county towns falling, it can be found that what Zhang Shihao is best at is to achieve his real goal by feinting attacks on big cities.

The four major cities of Nanjing, Hangzhou, Shanghai and Suzhou have experienced this false feint several times.

To sum up, it can be summarized as:
Use various means to drain the garrisons in large cities, and then create a momentum to attack and occupy the large cities. When reinforcements from various routes gather in the large cities, concentrate your forces to capture an unexpected county town.

Although this method is "low-level", it has been proven to be effective.

The reason for this was actually that they took advantage of the Japanese generals' fear of losing a large city.

This time Zhang Shihao showed such a trend again, and tried to stop the three infantry battalions transferred from Nanjing at all costs, but he suffered too much loss, so the fat man would not believe it at all.

Therefore, he specifically sought out Heiji Okamoto and mobilized the overseas Chinese guard team.

In the Shanghai of the past, the Overseas Chinese Guards and the Marines blocked the attack of the Nationalist Army, buying time for the mainland to dispatch troops for support.

This time, if Zhang Shihao still wants to play the tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, he will let Zhang Shihao know what it means to have countless soldiers fighting in an empty city!

Although he had made various plans, Dou Feiyuan was still filled with doubts:
"Zhang Shihao, what exactly are you going to do?"

……

The warehouse area near the Cigarette Bridge.

The warehouse district was still busy at midnight.

For various orders negotiated during the day, after midnight is a good time to prepare and deliver goods.

The coming and going of carts, rickshaws, and cars, and the silent working crowd, add fuel to the prosperity and evil of Shanghai at night.

The people who make a living here have become accustomed to this kind of busyness and believe that this kind of busyness will continue forever.

In a large warehouse, a group of guys were busy lifting hidden boxes one by one and loading them into carts. The owner of the warehouse looked at the boxes that were about to be shipped out, and the smile on his face was so big that even a tank could not suppress it.

Low price, high selling price, ten times the profit. After completing this deal and receiving the subsequent balance, I can live on it for at least another three years.

"Atai, have you counted everything?"

"The inventory is complete."

"Then just give it to Boss Wang as a pledge. Once the final payment arrives, I'll give it to the brothers..." The black businessman habitually promised a blank check, but this time, before he could finish his words, A Tai, whom he relied on as his confidant, took out the pistol in his arms, changed his previous servility in front of him, and raised an indescribable expression on his face.

But what is certain is that there is at least six points of joy.

"Atai," the black businessman said, trying to suppress his fear: "What are you going to do?"

The sudden change did not seem to scare the guys busy in the warehouse. It was only then that the black businessman noticed that many of the guys seemed particularly unfamiliar.

"Actually my name is not Zhao Tai."

A-Tai said with a hint of nostalgia: "But, I also forgot what my name was."

The black businessman looked at his confidant in astonishment, still finding it hard to accept that his confidant had pulled a gun on him.

He started out as a small hooligans and eventually got acquainted with a foreigner who was engaged in the black market trading of arms. Step by step he built up such a fortune, and his confidant A Tai played a great role in this.

But now, this confidant was pointing a gun at him.

Atai said to himself:

"It seems like it's been a long time, so long that I've forgotten what my original mission was."

"I just remembered now that my original mission was..."

"Lying in wait for orders for a long time."

"Zhao Tai, formerly of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Special Intelligence Unit, has been ordered to take over the weapons in your place."

The black businessman looked at his confidant in shock, unable to believe that the other party would suddenly reveal himself to be a Military Intelligence Bureau agent.

It was not until the crowd squeezed into his warehouse and picked up the brand new rifles with a little excitement that the black businessman realized that what A Tai said was indeed true, and he really was a member of the Military Control Commission.

"My...gun!"

After seeing the weapons being divided up by these people, the black businessman realized that it was his gun and he couldn't help but let out a soul-piercing howl.

"This is not your gun."

"Do you think pie will fall from the sky?"

"You are just keeping it for our district chief temporarily."

Artest explained to his former employer earnestly: "Now, the property has been returned to its original owner."

This scene was played out simultaneously in multiple warehouses in the warehouse area of ​​Cigarette Bridge. The eight black market merchants in Shanghai were stabbed in the back by their confidants at the same time, and they knew at the same time:

It's not your gun, you're just holding it in trust.

Then, they watched the troops gather silently with sad faces - but surprisingly, when fierce gunfire was heard from the direction of the security headquarters, this group of people did not immediately engage in battle, but waited silently.

……

Kato and his men were waiting patiently.

The target he was lurking was the person who was going to buy the arms.

Zhang Anping supported the eight major arms dealers in the black market. The Japanese were not stupid, so they naturally wanted to recruit these eight people. The eight major black market dealers were going to sell more than 1,500 guns at the same time. How could the Japanese ignore such information?
Isn't the purpose of recruiting black marketeers to catch resistance elements at a critical moment?
So Kato took his men to set up ambushes at multiple trading locations early on, waiting for the traders to appear and then catch them all in one fell swoop.

Another capable general of Dongye was also setting an ambush.

The target of Kato's ambush was the target of the arms trade, while the target of this agent's ambush was nearly a thousand guns stored in several secret storage points.

After all, Shanghai was the Japanese's home turf at that time. The Military Control Commission secretly transported arms to Shanghai. As long as there was a problem in one link, the Japanese could easily find out the fact of the arms transportation by following the clues.

However, after finding out, Dongye did not act rashly, but secretly sent people to monitor the situation.

Because he knew that this batch of secretly stored weapons was to be used to attack the Hongkou Garrison Command - rather than losing control after seizing them now, it would be better to monitor them secretly. Once the other party intends to use these weapons, they can be caught off guard.

On the other side, Dong Ye was silently waiting for feedback from both sides.

Time passed little by little, and soon it was one o'clock in the morning.

"The handover time for the arms is three o'clock, and the Military Control Commission will definitely take action later than three o'clock. Dawn?"

"Do you think that the time before dawn is an easy one?"

Dongye closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, thinking about Zhang Shihao's ideas again.

Suddenly, a series of gunshots rang out.

Dongye suddenly opened his eyes.

"Where's the gunshot?"

"Chief, it should be the direction of Hongkou."

Hongkou?

Dongye's eyes were particularly frighteningly cold at this moment.

He did not order anyone to call the two persons in charge of the ambush - after confirming that the dense gunfire came from the direction of Hongkou, Dongye had already realized a fact:
No matter it was an arms deal or the arms under his surveillance, it was a cover used by the other party to confuse him from the beginning to the end!

"Zhang Shihao, you are worthy of it!"

Dongye couldn't help but sigh that although he was fooled, it didn't matter. Everything had just begun.

……

The underground party launched its attack on the Hongkou Headquarters on time.

However, the attacking troops were not the ones that had completed the weapons distribution in the Xiangyan Bridge storage area, but rather the forces armed with weapons provided by the Military Control Commission.

They quickly advanced to Hongkou from three directions and headed straight for the garrison headquarters.

The battle became intense from the very beginning. The Japanese army's hidden firepower points appeared around the Hongkou Command Headquarters, as if they were providing a layer of armor for the garrison headquarters.

Although the main force of the underground party's armed forces were workers, like the factory protection team armed by Zhang Anping, the core leaders were the guerrillas and the backbone of the New Fourth Army. They had spent a long time with these workers and knew them very well, so they were not thrown into disarray by the Japanese army's precautions.

Instead, they took advantage of the terrain and launched a well-planned attack.

Faced with this offensive, some Japanese veterans suddenly had the illusion that they were facing guerrillas and the New Fourth Army.

"Strange, they are clearly the Military Control Commission!"

At the same time as the attack on the garrison headquarters in Hongkou was launched, two armed forces also emerged at the Army Hotel.

Upon hearing that the Army Hotel was attacked, Higashino Taketa, who had always been confident of victory, finally changed his expression.

"wrong!"

"Zhang Shihao has tricked me!"

Both Dongye and Doiyuan believed that the Army Hotel was one of the targets of the attack, but Dongye was more convinced that the Army Hotel was the real purpose of the Military Control Commission.

If that was the real purpose, the Military Control Commission should not have launched the attack at this time.

Dongye realized that he had been tricked, and resisted the urge to tremble in his legs, and looked at the map covered with various symbols.

The Army Hotel is a cover, and the Security Command is also a cover, so what does he want to do?
At the same time, Fatty had the same doubt.

The two faced different yet similar maps and fell into complete confusion.

Where exactly is Zhang Shihao's target?

……

Public concession.

The British army gave up so quickly that even though the factory protection team resolved the battle in less than twenty minutes, they still couldn't believe it.

The extremely powerful British army was just beaten into submission by them?

The factory protection team can be confused, but Zhang Anping cannot.

Because at that time, a big drama was going on in the International Settlement.

There are more than a dozen police stations in the International Settlement, with more than 6,000 patrolmen. Once this force is gathered together, it will be a terrifying force that cannot be ignored.

We must take over all the police stations quickly during the night shift.

Only by occupying the police station can we avoid the gathering of patrol police, and occupying the police station also means the initial control of the concession.

After the factory protection team dealt with the British army, Zhang Anping ordered the transport team that had been prepared long ago to appear, and then used the transport team to quickly deliver the factory protection team to various police stations. The factory protection team assisted the other rebel forces in capturing the police stations.

With the capture of the police station, the concession was in complete chaos, and the news inevitably reached the ears of the Japanese.

Doiyuan and Higashino's reactions were surprisingly consistent:
"Nani?"

"Concession?"

"The Military Control Commission is attacking the concession?!"

After confirming that the news was not a joke, the two people who were working in two different offices sat down at the same time.

How can it be a concession?

How dare the Chinese attack the concessions?

Both of them were so shocked by the news that they were speechless. By doing this, aren't they afraid of angering Britain and the United States?

Doiyuan couldn't understand it, and Higashino was even more confused.

So, the two people who couldn't figure it out came together.

"Your Excellency, we cannot allow Zhang Shihao to act recklessly in the concession. He must want to take the opportunity to destroy the concession and leave a concession full of holes for the empire."

When Dongye saw Doiyuan, he hurriedly told him his guess.

Wouldn't the fat man have thought of this? He did!

You have to know that his only mission in coming to Shanghai was to smoothly take over the concession and plunder the wealth in the concession as military expenses.

Faced with Higashino's hasty advice, Doiyuan could not make up his mind easily.

First, he had not yet received instructions from the headquarters. If he led troops into the concession at this time, it would create an established fact of a surprise attack by the Japanese army.
Secondly, he wanted to lead troops into the concession at this time, but the military strength in the entire Shanghai was limited, and it was impossible to concentrate a large number of manpower!
The fat man in a dilemma couldn't help but murmur: "No wonder he sent people to stop us in Kunshan!"

"No wonder we easily learned that he was going to take action in Hongkou and the Army Hotel."

Dongye was anxious and urged: "Sir, you must make a decision soon!"

Dongye was the most anxious one. He had gambled everything on this battle, but it was proved from the very beginning that he had been fooled from beginning to end during the entire planning process. If he could not remedy the situation, he, who had rushed over from the Central China Secret Service Agency to put out the fire, would become another agency chief who committed disembowelment!

Tu Feiyuan looked at Dong Ye angrily, "You are urging me now, why didn't you think of keeping a hand when you were planning it before? !

The Security Command Headquarters and the Army Hotel tied down a large number of troops stationed in the urban area of ​​Shanghai. Since the North and South railway stations were repeatedly targeted by the Military Control Commission, these two places naturally had to be heavily guarded.

In addition, the areas where high-ranking officials gather, banks, and important factories all need to be heavily guarded. These places tie down the garrisons in the city, making it impossible for Tobihara to gather a large number of troops in the first place.

If troops must be mobilized, they can only be deployed from around the garrison headquarters.

But according to feedback from the security headquarters, the number of enemies attacking them was at least over a thousand. If they deployed troops, they would not be able to encircle them next - if an armed force of more than a thousand people could not be surrounded in time and were allowed to flee into the overseas Chinese area in Hongkou, the consequences would be disastrous!

Tu Feiyuan has another special worry:
If we have to gather manpower at this time, what if Zhang Shihao shows his backup plan in the control area?
He was weighing the pros and cons, but Dong Ye couldn't help but urged:
"Sir, Zhang Shihao's target is definitely the concession. We hope to take over a wealthy concession. He wants to throw a destroyed concession to us!"

This sentence made Tu Feiyuan make up his mind:

"Send a telegram to the headquarters and ask whether to declare war on the United States. Also... I will go find Okamoto Heiji. We don't have much manpower to use right now. Let's leave the attack on the concession to the Overseas Chinese Guard!"

Fatty made this decision after weighing the pros and cons.

The Japanese army has the habit of subordinates rebelling against their superiors. If grassroots officers encounter such a problem, they will lead their troops into the concession without hesitation.

But Tu Feiyuan couldn't do that. He was an army general and he absolutely couldn't allow himself to do something shameful like attacking first and declaring war later.

This is probably the helplessness of being in a high position. He must make sure to declare war before taking action.

……

What Zhang Anping needs most is time!
Defeating the British troops in the concession and controlling all the police stations was only the first step. In order to maintain secrecy, the underground party only organized the most core part of the workers when mobilizing them.

Now that the situation has been thoroughly exposed, the underground party can carry out large-scale mobilization, but this will take sufficient time to complete.

Moreover, our two major armed forces in the concession (the factory protection team and the first uprising team) are currently in a dispersed state.

If the Japanese intervened directly at this time, the factory protection team might be able to hold on, but the workers who were being mobilized and the first batch of uprising teams would inevitably collapse at the first touch.

After dealing with the British troops, Zhang Anping returned to the headquarters. Without even taking a breath, the staff officer reported the current situation:
"Commander, the attack from the Security Command has been blocked. The Japanese army has already launched a siege."

"The Japanese troops at the Army Hotel show signs of splitting up, and they may withdraw their forces to press on the concession."

"The Japanese escort team in Hongkou is gathering on a large scale. Five minutes ago, Hongkou adopted a blockade strategy. Currently, there is no source of information. The last message from Team Leader Li is that we should be on guard against the possibility that the Japanese escort team will reinforce the Security Command."

"On the concession side, only the Hongkou Police Station failed to capture the city. The factory protection team has already intervened in the battle and is expected to capture the city within an hour."

Zhang Anping quickly absorbed the information and asked:

"The second team of the Cigarette Bridge Storage Area hasn't started yet, right?"

"No."

"Let them move out!"

Zhang Anping gave the order without hesitation. What he needed most was time. The offensive and defensive battle of the Hongkou Garrison Command had to be fought vigorously so that the Japanese would not easily send troops to the concession.

It takes time here in the concession, and it takes plenty of time.

Comrade Li said at this time: "District Chief Zhang, the battle has been going on for more than an hour. The Japanese troops in the suburbs may have entered the city. Should we take action against the Datong Company dock?"

Zhang Anping took a deep breath and said, "Wait a little longer."

Chase Company Terminal, controlled by global trade.

Global trade is the Japanese's closest partner. After the United States imposed an oil embargo and economic sanctions on Japan, the role of global trade for the Japanese became even more prominent.

Currently, a large amount of materials are stored in the Chase Company's dock, all of which are about to be delivered to the Japanese as part of global trade.

But it is also a heavily guarded area for global trade.

Seeing Zhang Anping's refusal, Comrade Li said no more. He knew who was the boss in global trade.

Zhang Anping looked at the map full of arrows and ordered: "Accelerate the action in the concession. The first line of defense must be completed before eight o'clock!"

……

Okamoto Heiji is indeed an ardent patriot.

At 1:34, a -strong expatriate guard team was assembled, and he personally risked his life to hand over this armed force to Doiyuan.

"General, I have stepped up the mobilization. After daybreak, I will definitely hand over another expatriate guard team of at least 3,000 people to you!"

In the face of Okamoto Heiji's timely help, Doiyuan naturally highly praised Okamoto Heiji's patriotism, and then a fatal question was thrown in front of him:

With the only mobile force he currently has, should he attack the concession or support the garrison headquarters?

The Security Command was originally a hedgehog, and with the ambushes prepared around it, it was enough to surround and annihilate the Military Control Commission's feint attack troops.

But just now, Doiyuan realized that the ones who attacked the Security Command were not the Military Control Commission at all, but the underground party!
Moreover, it was not an expected upward attack. In addition to the first wave, the underground party actually prepared another force of nearly a thousand people. This force was not only large in number, but also fully armed.

This means that if the so-called dumpling-making plan is not handled properly, it is very likely that the dumplings will not be made, and the extremely solid bait of the Security Command will be eaten.

Even if the garrison headquarters is safe and sound, what if this huge force gives up attacking the garrison headquarters and instead "wanders around" in Hongkou?

Hongkou is basically a Japanese community, with a large number of Japanese living here. If the battle is moved to Hongkou, it will not only affect the assembly of the Overseas Chinese Guards, but will also cause the morale of the Overseas Chinese Guards under his command to collapse.

But in the concession, Zhang Shihao had just started the rebellion. Although he seemed to have defeated the British army and occupied most of the police stations, he had not yet gained a foothold. If the overseas Chinese guards charged in, they could disrupt the enemy's rhythm of action. Once they were free after daybreak, the offense and defense would shift immediately!

After weighing the pros and cons for a while, Tobihara finally did not choose the latter. The situation in the concession was seriously unclear. If there was no follow-up force, the Expatriate Guard would most likely be fooled by Zhang Shihao if they were deployed there.

He gritted his teeth and decided to throw the overseas Chinese guard team into the encirclement and annihilation.

The Security Command may not be a feint as imagined, but the real purpose of the Military Control Commission - Zhang Shihao is full of malice towards the underground party, and it is very likely that he will give the underground party enough support, and then use the Security Command as a grinding wheel to calculate both sides!
"Everyone, time is on our side!"

"This is the darkness before dawn. As long as we can survive this period of darkness, it will be time for us to give the Military Control Commission a good beating!"

"Then, we will avenge our previous shame!"

Doiyuan encouraged everyone in the command center, which made Higashino feel strange.

The darkness before dawn? It seems familiar...

……

Zhang Anping won the bet again:
The Expatriate Guard was not sent to the concession by the fat guy!
Upon hearing the news, everyone in the joint command center breathed a sigh of relief. Time for the first wave had finally been gained.

Although the concession will still require a lot of time, this wave of time is also the most important. If we cannot build enough defensive positions to complete the first line of defense, and the Japanese army launches an attack during the day, we will be in big trouble.

Fortunately, the opponent chose to play it safe. Between eagerly cutting into the concession and protecting the garrison headquarters, the opponent chose to protect the garrison headquarters.

After determining the exact movements of the Japanese army, the concession entered into a busy and intense state.

4:47 am.

A telegram arrived from across the ocean:
At 12:7 a.m. on December 7, Hawaii time, Japanese aircraft launched a surprise attack on the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor.

Twenty minutes later, at 1:40 p.m. Washington time, the Japanese submitted a declaration of war—a declaration of war that was successfully submitted after a sneak attack.

This telegram made Lieutenant Colonel Zok furious.

According to Zhang Anping's previous statement, the Japanese declared war first and then attacked Pearl Harbor. Although they only gave half an hour, they declared war first after all.

But the current situation is that the Japanese will fight first and then declare war!

This American lieutenant colonel, who had already made up his mind to follow Zhang Anping, angrily announced to his subordinates that the United States and Japan were at war, and without saying a word, he led his troops to join Zhang Anping's command.

By the way, the arsenal was opened and the stored equipment and ammunition were made available to friendly forces.

Lieutenant Colonel Zoke thought thankfully at this time:

Many thanks to that stupid logistics officer. If he hadn't made a mistake in the numbers and sent so much extra ammunition, I wouldn't have the confidence to be generous now!

……

5:17 am.

Zhang Anping, who had been watching the "offensive and defensive battle" of the Hongkou Garrison Command, received a secret message:

The Japanese army, together with the Japanese overseas Chinese guard team, has completed the encirclement of the Hongkou Uprising Army.

The core purpose of the uprising army in Hongkou was to buy time for the concession. It was also for this reason that they missed the best time to evacuate and were surrounded by the Japanese with absolutely superior forces.

Although the core members of the uprising army were experienced guerrillas and members of the New Fourth Army, they were a group of new soldiers after all. At night, they could still fight the Japanese under the cover of darkness and the complex environment of the city. However, once dawn came, the Japanese only needed to continue the blockade with the overseas Chinese guards and attack with elite infantry. This army, which bought time for the uprising in the concession, faced only one outcome:
completely annihilated!

So we must save them.

He said to himself, "The Japanese must think that we are gathering strength in the concession and will not act rashly. This is the time when they are least prepared for us."

After talking to himself, he immediately ordered: "Lao Wang, you lead the factory protection team to fight out and help the Hongkou Uprising Army retreat into the concession."

"Mr. Li, the second team of the Army Hotel can take action. Army Hotel, take it!"

The Army Hotel was the "focus" before the war, but after the action, our side showed signs of fatigue, and the Japanese army had deployed heavy troops here.

After the action took place, the Japanese realized that the so-called focus was complete nonsense, and they divided their troops without hesitation, sending half of their forces back to Hongkou, causing the battle at the Army Hotel to become stalemate.

At this time, our side also showed signs of fatigue and even made the illusion of evacuating.

But in fact, Zhang Anping was determined to take over the Army Hotel. Of course, it was not because of the fat guy, but to make the Japanese feel heavy pressure and prepare for the next "Chatung Company Wharf".

Once the factory protection team attacks Hongkou, the Japanese will certainly mobilize all the forces they can to entangle them, and the Army Hotel will become a blind spot. At this time, if we take them down in one swoop and capture some Japanese politicians, we can make the Japanese angry to death!
……

"What? Zhang Shihao broke out of the concession?!"

After hearing the news, the fat man almost vomited blood.

Countless intelligence proved that Zhang Shihao was eager to build a defense system in the concession, so how come he suddenly launched an attack?
But bad news comes one after another.

Not long after, news came from Hongkou that the armed forces that broke out from the concession joined forces with the armed forces in Hongkou and broke the encirclement of Hongkou. The armed forces in Hongkou were moving to the British and American controlled areas in the concession under cover - the duck that was at hand just flew away!

Another piece of news made Tu Feiyuan explode:

The resistance elements attacking the Army Hotel suddenly made a move and fresh troops joined the battle. In just forty minutes, the Army Hotel fell. The resistance elements were moving to the nearby concession.

"asshole!"

The fat guy was so angry that he started cursing and fighting for the whole night, but in the end all his opponent's goals were achieved.

So what did they do for most of the night?
At this time, Dongye was already disheartened.

It's over, it's over.

The Military Control Commission took control of the concessions.
The Army Hotel fell.

The battle of Hongkou lasted for half a night, but the enemy escaped unscathed.

It's over, it's over.

……

The whole of Shanghai was sleepless that night.

At 6:30, as the sun peeked out from the horizon, the bustling city of Shanghai also welcomed the dawn.

Concession.

Countless residents hid behind closed doors, quietly observing the situation outside.

Everyone has one question:
What happened during the night of gunfire?
At this time, a truck was approaching from a distance, and someone was holding a loudspeaker and repeating a sentence in Chinese and English:

"After the Japanese Navy attacked Pearl Harbor, they declared war on the United States. Japan and the United States are in a state of war. The Japanese are about to attack the concession. All residents of the concession are requested to hide their property and prepare for the darkest moment ahead!" (End of this chapter)
