Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

March 12, 8 am.

Doiyuan received a telegram from the headquarters. The telegram had arrived a long time ago, but the first reply did not tell Doiyuan the specific time. After two rounds of negotiation, the headquarters finally confirmed:

The navy has successfully launched an attack on Pearl Harbor, the US Pacific Fleet has been destroyed, and Asia has become the Asia of Empires.

Unfortunately, this boastful telegram was of no use to the fat guy.

Because he had already received the news from his opponent.

"Damn those navy idiots, hiding things from their own people, haha, in the end the enemy knows how many holes there are in their crotch pants better than they do!"

Fatty cursed the navy angrily. In his mind, all the blame for Shanghai's repeated defeats this time was attributed to this group of naval idiots.

If it weren't for the Navy's so-called confidentiality, how could he be deceived by Zhang Shihao's various tricks?

The car stopped in front of the security headquarters. Feiyuan calmed himself down, regained his stern expression, got out of the car, and strode into the security headquarters amid the salute of the Japanese soldiers, who were covered in smoke.

"Your Excellency, General."

"Your Mightiness."

In the conference room, a group of Japanese officers greeted Doiyuan, but Doiyuan ignored them. He sat down, leaning on his sword, and glanced coldly at the faces of the Japanese officers one by one.

"Gentlemen, I am... curious as to why the situation in Shanghai has deteriorated to this point!"

Of course, Feiyuan knew why it had become so corrupt.

But he had always been hiding behind Dongye and had never directly intervened in the military affairs of the Shanghai Garrison Command. At this time, he could naturally ask with righteous words:
Why?

A general stood up and bowed his head and said, "General, it was our intelligence error that underestimated Zhang Shihao's wolfish ambition."

"Information?" A sneer appeared on Tu Feiyuan's lips, and his hand holding the knife slammed down on the table:
"Just because of the intelligence?"

All the Japanese officers stood up and bowed their heads, waiting for the coming storm.

Doiyuan took a deep breath and changed the subject: "Dongye-kun will take full responsibility for the intelligence. I will not hold you responsible for what has happened, but I hope you can make up for your mistakes and not let the empire become a laughing stock in the world!"

Today should have been Japan's highlight moment. The Combined Fleet easily wiped out the Pacific Fleet that had made them wary for years. From now on, the entire Asia will be at the mercy of Japan.

However, a huge joke happened in Shanghai, the vital city. The enemy, relying on a group of rabble, took control of the concession first, and even killed a lot of people in the core security headquarters controlled by the Japanese army and then left.

In other words, when the Navy deer won a highlight moment for Japan, the Army deer successfully stuck their butts out and took off their crotch pants for the world to see.

This kind of shame will most likely require them to wash away with blood.

Therefore, after hearing that Tobiru said that he would not pursue responsibility, the officers finally felt relieved.

The officers expressed their views:
"Please rest assured, General, we will resolve the issue of the concession as soon as possible."

Tu Feiyuan's cold eyes swept over everyone present once again, and he said indifferently:

"I hope that you will be well prepared and take over the concession in one fell swoop!"

"Besides, what the empire needs is a prosperous concession, not a destroyed one!"

"Hi Yi!"

The failure in the intelligence war made the fat man, who was very careful about his reputation, alert, so he was very cautious and did not choose to directly intervene in the next battle.

……

at the same time.

Yangcheng Lake blocking position.

The Japanese army launched a frantic attack from midnight. More than 800 soldiers of the Loyalty Rescue Army under the Southern Jiangsu Command experienced the most dangerous and cruel battle since they joined the army.

For a full nine hours, on two fronts more than one kilometer wide, countless soldiers of the Loyalist Army and the Japanese were engaged in a fierce battle. But as the faint light brought by dawn continued to grow and until daylight completely fell, the Japanese began to use their numerical advantage to break through the Loyalist Army's positions piece by piece.

"Half an hour!"

The Japanese commander shouted with red eyes and hoarse voice: "Half an hour to take the position! Kill all the Chinese on the position without mercy!"

Three infantry battalions, plus friendly forces coming to support from Suzhou, totaling to almost four battalions in size, were blocked for nine hours by a position that was only more than one kilometer wide!

Faced with the urging telegrams sent from Shanghai every half hour, the Japanese commanders were under tremendous pressure.

At this moment, he finally saw hope of victory.

On the battlefield filled with corpses, an officer of the Loyal Rescue Army cried out:
"Sir, we can't hold on any longer. Let's retreat!"

The battle for this position was the most intense, and soldiers of the Loyalty Rescue Army were buried here one after another, but they were also filled in one after another. In the end, there was no one left in this Loyalty Rescue Army with only more than 800 people, so the column leader moved in with the wounded.

"We have to hold on even if we can't!" The column leader, who was covered in bandages, grabbed the officer's collar and said, "Commander Zhang has given a death order. Even if we all die here, we have to defend our position!"

"If you continue to undermine the morale of the army, I will chop you to pieces!"

The officer, whose body was drenched in blood, stiffened his neck and said, "Sir, I am not afraid of death! If the Japanese come up, I will tie a grenade to my body and throw it into the enemy's path!"

"But we don't have many old brothers left! Please at least leave some seeds for us!"

"If we leave the seeds behind, Commander Zhang's plan will be ruined! Commander Zhang will not issue such a death order unless it is absolutely necessary!" The captain of the column could not bear to execute the old brother who had followed him for several years on the spot. He threw him aside and said angrily:

"Do you think Commander Zhang is hiding in the back watching the show?"

"Let me tell you! No! Commander Zhang is also fighting, and it's a big fight! The worst that can happen today is that we have to spend all our money here - don't worry, brothers, Commander Zhang will get ten times the return from the Japanese in the future!"

The column leader yelled, "Signalman!"

"Sir, the signalman is dead and the radio station is broken."

"Damn it, this guy left pretty fast - then I won't send you a farewell message, brothers, let's..."

The commander of the column looked at the sparse figures on the battlefield and said: "At worst, we can go to the underworld to fight the devils!"

……

Concession, Joint Command.

Sister Qian hurried in with a few pieces of paper, and after finding Zhang Anping, she reported:

"District Chief Zhang, we just did a rough count and there are probably more than 10,000 people."

The underground party's base in the concession is mainly among the workers. The core of those who participated in the uprising last night were workers, more than 10,000 people, which is almost the total number that the underground party can influence.

But among these more than 10,000 people, there are only two groups that are really worthy of being used. One is the original factory protection team that was organized into one regiment, and the other is the uprising army that was withdrawn from Hongkou and organized into the second regiment. The core members of these two regiments are all experienced backbones, and can be considered barely worthy of being used.

As for the other regiments, they may be able to fight smoothly, but they certainly cannot fight tough battles. It would be good enough if they can have a certain degree of discipline.

Zhang Anping, who knew this well, nodded and asked, "How is the situation of joining the army?"

"More than a dozen registration points are full of people. The people are very willing to join the army."

When the sky was bright, Zhang Anping carried out propaganda in the concession. The people realized that the concession was bound to fall. They knew too well the brutality of the Japanese army and knew that they had to fight, so they signed up enthusiastically.

Zhang Anping said: "Let your people conduct assault training for these people. I will not send them to the battlefield. I just hope that they can maintain a certain level of discipline during the transfer."

But compared to the armed forces organized by workers, these new recruits who joined the army because they had to fight had no organization and discipline at all. Zhang Anping accepted them not to make them cannon fodder, but to transfer the elite population.

Shanghai will be a closed city in the future, and it will be extremely difficult for ordinary people to move out. It is better to take this opportunity to move out, which is why they are asked to join the army.

This was something that had been discussed before the meeting, so naturally no one jumped out to blame Zhang Anping. Sister Qian nodded to indicate that she understood and then went about her business. Zhang Anping turned around and asked the staff officer for other information.

"Does the Third Column of Southern Jiangsu have a telegram?"

The staff officer shook his head: "No, we have been out of touch for fifty minutes."

Zhang Anping couldn't help but clench his fists, and after forcing himself to open them, he asked again:

"Where is Xu Baichuan?"

"It was a call back from two hours ago. I can't get through now."

The blocking battle near Yangcheng Lake was fought suddenly. The only force Zhang Anping could mobilize was the Third Column of the Southern Jiangsu Command. However, although it was called a column, it was actually just a battalion of people.

For this purpose, Zhang Anping urgently called for manpower.

The most reliable one at this time was naturally the Songhu Command. After he issued the blocking order last night, he urgently sent a telegram to the Songhu Command, requesting the Songhu Command to gather all available manpower as much as possible to quickly support the Su'nan Third Column.

After learning about the situation, Xu Baichuan chose to lead the team to provide support personally.

But the straight-line distance of more than 100 miles between the two was like an insurmountable chasm - Zhang Anping didn't know whether his beloved soldiers of the Songhu Column could create a miracle of forced march like the Volunteer Army.

Once the blocking position is breached and the Japanese army rushes to Shanghai, the time left for the uprising troops in the concession will be very short.

He finally made up his mind: "Mr. Li! Wang Tianfeng!"

Comrade Li and Wang Tianfeng walked over quickly upon hearing this.

"Each of you take a team of people to go to the banks, the Municipal Council warehouses, and the factories. Blow up what can be blown up, destroy what can be destroyed, and take away everything that can be taken away!"

Wang Tianfeng frowned: "Do it now?"

According to Zhang Anping's plan, the concession must be destroyed on a large scale to prevent the Japanese from leaving behind complete factories and huge amounts of property like the Northeast Army.

But it cannot be done lightly, otherwise the Japanese will attack with all their might. The rebels cannot fight a tough battle. Once the Japanese attack, there will be loopholes and breaches everywhere - so a large number of fortifications are needed to resist the Japanese attack.

Therefore, the plan was to wait until the Japanese were ready to attack or until their own fortifications were completed before carrying out major destruction, so as not to provoke the Japanese.

Now the various rebel groups in the concession are racing against time to set up defensive fortifications. They are inexperienced and it is difficult for them to speed up the process. If they carry out massive destruction at this time, if the Japanese attack, can they stop them?
"The situation over at Yangcheng Lake is unclear. The Third Column of Southern Jiangsu may have lost its blocking position. Two hours ago, Xu Baichuan was still thirty miles away from the Yangcheng Lake blocking position. He may not be able to catch up. At least four battalions of Japanese troops will arrive in Shanghai by noon at the latest. We don't have much time left!"

Zhang Anping's words startled the two of them.

"Okay, I'll deal with it now."

They both agreed.

"Wait a minute..." Zhang Anping said solemnly, "Foreigners will kowtow to the Japanese, but if they face us, they will definitely refuse to do anything."

"You should bring some people from the US Marine Corps with you. We must use tough measures when the time comes."

Wang Tianfeng hesitated for a rare moment: "Isn't this...not good?"

"The arrow is on the string and has to be shot! Besides, we have even taken over the concessions. Too many lice won't itch!"

Wang Tianfeng nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

Yes, now that we have come this far, do we still need to care about a few more lice?
"Pay attention to military discipline and do not extend your evil claws to the people. If anyone violates the discipline, they will be killed without mercy!" Zhang Anping's face was full of murderous intent - there had been many cases of looting in the concession before, but fortunately, those who did this were not the rebels, but gang members.

In this situation, Zhang Anping showed no mercy and directly issued an order to kill without mercy.

"know."

After Wang Tianfeng and Comrade Li left, Zhang Anping thought about it and decided to let Xu Tian stay at the command center while he went to the front line to take charge.

Once the concession begins to be destroyed on a large scale, the Japanese will inevitably be unable to restrain themselves from attacking. We must stop them and make them realize that they cannot take over the concession with their current manpower.

……

Soon a rumbling sound was heard in the concession, accompanied by a series of explosions and mushroom clouds rising up.

The Japanese immediately learned the intelligence that the Military Intelligence Bureau had blown up all the factories in the concession.

"idiot!"

The Japanese were furious and were eyeing the concessions covetously. Weren't they targeting the massive factories and banks in the concessions?
"Zhang Shihao is taking advantage of the world to seize the concession just to destroy it. Gentlemen, we can't wait any longer!"

At the military meeting, an officer said anxiously: "If we wait any longer, what will happen even if we wipe out all these enemies? If we cannot take down an entire concession, it will be a complete failure for us!"

"Mr. Inoue, we only have two infantry battalions and the expatriate guard team at our disposal. If we fail to capture the concession after the attack, our strength will be exposed!"

At this time, both sides were actually afraid of both ends. The Japanese had no confidence in their own combat effectiveness, and the troops coming to support from southern Jiangsu were blocked at Yangcheng Lake.

Due to the frequent transfers of the Third War Zone, northern Zhejiang adopted a defensive position on the front line, thus draining the garrison forces, resulting in a lack of mobile forces to be mobilized in the entire northern Zhejiang.

They could only count on the reinforcements that were blocked at Yangcheng Lake. If they acted rashly now, if they could not win the battle in one go and their two infantry battalions were badly depleted, if Zhang Shihao launched a counterattack, the war would most likely spread to the whole of Shanghai.

If this happens, it would be terrible!
Someone suggested: "How about trying the Imperial Army?"

Almost everyone objected at the same time: "No!"

The combat effectiveness of the puppet army was originally low, and Zhang Shihao was the best at planning and bewitching the people. There had already been cases of defections from the Imperial Army at the division level. If the Imperial Army from the suburbs was transferred here and the other side rebelled after entering the city, then they would be completely doomed.

This is also the reason why the Japanese did not dare to send out both infantry battalions in full force. They had to guard against the puppet troops.

"This is not okay, and that is not okay. Are we just going to watch Zhang Shihao wantonly destroy the concession?"

The Japanese officer who first proposed the idea said angrily, "Gentlemen, General Dobi is watching us from behind. If we do nothing and allow Zhang Shihao to destroy the concession, will the general let us go again?"

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Ultimately, they had to make a decision:
"Then fight! Send a battalion with the expatriate guards to the concession to fight!"

……

June 12, 8:9.

Zhang Anping, who was personally supervising the battle on the front line, received a piece of news that made him breathe a sigh of relief:
Xu Baichuan personally led more than 700 people from the Sixth Battalion of the Songhu Command to the Yangcheng Lake blocking position. When the Japanese army was about to break through the position, they engaged in battle and successfully repelled the Japanese attack.

In addition, a guerrilla force of the Communist Party of China joined the battle before Xu Baichuan's troops. It was because of the addition of this guerrilla force that the Third Column of Southern Jiangsu was able to hold out until reinforcements arrived.

Although the blocking position was held, the number of people after the three forces joined together was less than a thousand. Facing more than 4,000 Japanese troops, Xu Baichuan had no idea how long he could hold out.

"I wonder if Li Xingyu can spare some strength... If not, Old Xu can only hold on until the evening."

Zhang Anping sighed secretly, feeling very worried.

This is also the reason why he has never made up his mind to take advantage of the situation. After all, it is like dancing on the edge of a knife.

Just like now, even if both sides have integrated their strength and united, the situation is still extremely serious!
The Japanese did not give Zhang Anping much time to sigh. At 9:34, the Japanese army assembled a large number of troops and began to attack the concession.

It was obvious that the large-scale destruction of the concession disrupted the Japanese strategy of waiting for reinforcements to arrive in Shanghai and then launching a concerted attack on the concession with the forces at hand.

This time, the Japanese attack lasted from 9:30 to more than 12 noon. During the nearly three hours, the Japanese army launched attacks on many streets. An infantry battalion, supported by thousands of overseas Chinese guards, pressed down like a mountain.

This was the most tragic and helpless battle Zhang Anping had ever fought since he returned to China. Although the 1st and 2nd Regiments were formed with the backbone of the Loyal Rescue Army and the New Fourth Army, and had undergone certain military training before the uprising, and had even tried their hand at fighting the British last night, they were not well-trained veterans after all.

In terms of marksmanship, tactical execution, fighting will, etc., they are several levels behind the Loyal Rescue Army.

Fortunately, because of Zhang Anping, the Japanese army was wary of the puppet army and did not send another battalion into the battle, otherwise the first two lines of defense would have collapsed.

During the nearly three-hour brutal offensive and defensive battle, hand-to-hand combat broke out several times between the two sides. The Japanese army repeatedly tried to use hand-to-hand combat to defeat the rebels, but at the critical moment they were rescued by the commandos led by Zhang Anping, resulting in the failure of the Japanese army's conspiracy.

Despite this, the rebels eventually lost their first line of defense.

Fortunately, this was all within Zhang Anping's tolerance range, and the first and second regiments entered the second line of defense one after another.

The Japanese morale soared, and under the strong command of the Security Command, they began to attack the second line of defense.

A line of defense was lost in three hours. The performance of the 1st and 2nd Regiments exceeded Zhang Anping's expectations - the worst preparation he had made was that it would be lost in an hour and a half.

I didn’t expect to hold on for more than three hours!

Faced with the Japanese troops who were attacking without knowing the consequences, Zhang Anping couldn't help but laugh.

"Your crotch pants... are showing!"

After laughing, Zhang Anping ordered someone to pass on a message, which was three words to be exact:

"Set off fireworks!"

……

When the Japanese army launched an attack on the second line of defense in the concession, with the signal of "fireworks", an armed force appeared at the Chase & Co. dock in the Japanese-occupied area.

Their target was this pier.

As mentioned before, this terminal stores global trade supplies for the Japanese, including countless quantities of oil, rubber, chemical materials, etc.

For the convenience of storage, global trade also built special oil storage tanks here - the Japanese also temporarily stored the oil they plundered here.

Of course, the defense here is also extremely strong, and Global Trade has created a guard team to guard here.

After the chaos broke out in the concession, global trade attracted more people here.

But now, an armed force of more than 200 people rushed towards the Chase Company's dock.

The guarding force exceeded a thousand, and a mere two hundred people should have been like moths to a flame. However, once the war broke out, some of the guards turned against the enemy, and the tight defense line was immediately exposed.

The two "scared" heads of global trade frantically asked the Japanese for help.

The garrison command was shocked. Millions of dollars worth of supplies were stored here. If it exploded, the loss would be no less than that of a tank regiment!

They had to hastily send troops to support, and the reinforcements passed through the French Concession and arrived at the dock. With their appearance, the situation on the battlefield suddenly turned upside down, and the "rebels" who turned against their sides and the Military Control Commission fled in panic.

The Japanese then took over the core defense, but unexpectedly, a mushroom cloud appeared into the sky as soon as they took over.

A huge amount of oil was detonated, and the flames spread in an instant. More than 300 Japanese soldiers collectively met their great grandmothers in an instant...

As the saying goes, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone.

The Chase Company's dock had just swallowed up three hundred elites, and the Military Control Commission launched a counterattack on the front line of the concession.

The core force of the counterattack was the US Marine Corps.

Because half of the manpower was sent to assist Wang Tianfeng and Comrade Li, there were only more than 300 Marines involved in the battle. Although there were only 300 people, these American soldiers were full of anger and went into a frenzy state after joining the battle.

With the collapse of several points, the Japanese offensive line experienced a complete collapse.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the defense lines that the Japanese army had painstakingly fought for three hours were all lost, and they were even forced into Hongkou at one point.

Fortunately, Zhang Anping had no intention of occupying Hongkou and chose to withdraw his troops at this time.

But even so, the Japanese were completely defeated. They fought from morning to afternoon, and not only did they vomit out all the meat they had eaten, but they also lost more than a thousand people.

After these two losses, the two most critical core infantry battalions were reduced to only one battalion.

But the reinforcements are still out of reach! (End of this chapter)
