The spy career of a surgeon

Chapter 217 The End

After two days and two nights of fierce fighting, the smoke in Nanshi finally came to an end.

No matter how hard the Japanese tried, Nanshi was the rear area and there were no troops at all. If they wanted to keep sending more troops, they could only be encircled for reinforcements. Therefore, the Japanese could only use bombing to vent their dissatisfaction, then fade away and continue to attack Zhabei. offensive.

As for the regiment stranded in Nanshi, except for some people who ran back to the ship and escaped, the rest were all killed.

The 250 plainclothes team and about 90 intelligence officers sent by Takeda Kojiro had no choice but to surrender after running out of bullets.

Surrender to what?

Boss Dai doesn't need any prisoners, just kill them and it will be over!

Nanshi's victory made Boss Dai feel excited, and the Third Theater Command also praised Nanshi's unexpected gains.

In just two days, with minimal losses, they captured a Japanese regiment, hundreds of elite agents, and two ships. This achievement is unique among all current wars.

The principal asked Boss Dai to personally send a letter of commendation to Zhou Qinghe.

"On the day of success, I will personally wear the Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun for Qinghe in recognition of his irreplaceable role in the war against Japan!"

The weight of the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal is quite different from the previous medals. Other medals are medals, but this medal has a death talisman in the party, which is equivalent to the previous iron book of alchemy. Even if it is a capital crime, you can be exempted from it. Go die, very few people get it.

Everyone is famous.

The Japanese army's defeat in Nanshi and the accumulated anger were all poured into the artillery fire in Zhabei, and the more arduous war of resistance continued.

And because of the bombing of the medicine warehouse, cholera drugs were cut off, and the death harvest in the rear area of ​​​​Hongkou began.

Without medicines, the result would be constant diarrhea. No matter how good medical skills were, it would be useless, and large numbers of Japanese would die.

Zhou Qinghe, with a painful and helpless expression, accompanied the Japanese on their last journey, and then asked the military police to take their bodies and burn them.

Don't pollute the environment.

The situation changed two days later. There was no cure for cholera and he could only wait to die. The death process was extremely painful and the death was miserable. This caused a very bad panic in the army.

The Japanese have no choice but to let the planes start transporting medicines from their own country to fill them first, saving as many as they can.

Airplanes were precious, and large quantities had to be transported by ship. After a few days, the cholera crisis was finally suppressed.

The dead are gone, and the living are relieved. Captain Fujita, who has been accompanying them all the time, does his best to comfort them.

The thousands of soldiers who came these days are very grateful. Everyone's condition is getting better. When they see Zhou Qinghe, they have to express their gratitude respectfully.

The General Staff's plans came to a halt.

No one dared to mention the continued cholera incident in the Songhu battlefield.

The process after the lack of medicine is too scary. If poisoning occurs again and cholera breaks out again, the division commander leading the team will be able to skin the people in the staff department.

As soon as the cholera stopped, Zhou Qinghe was called by Shinozuka Maomi.

"Fujita, in view of your hard work in this cholera incident and the positive impact it has had on the war, the military headquarters orders!

On behalf of the military headquarters and the Shanghai Dispatch Army Headquarters, I would like to promote you to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel! Promoted to the rank of second-class military doctor! I hope you will make more efforts and make greater contributions to the great cause of the Japanese Empire! "

"Long live the Emperor! Fujita must work hard!"

If we didn't say that war is the romance of soldiers, this promotion would be much easier.

Zhou Qinghe, with everyone in the military police looking on, calmly accepted the title personally awarded by Shinozuka Maomi.

Shinozuka Maomi looked at Zhou Qinghe's face and chuckled: "Fujita, you don't seem to be very happy either."

"Chief of Staff, you know I don't value this kind of thing."

Such pretense made Akio Tojo, who was watching, so jealous that he just wanted to roll his eyes.

It had only been a long time since he had been the same major as Fujita Kazuki, but he was overtaken again. It was quite unpleasant to think about it. He also thought about one day becoming Fujita Kazuki's boss.

Really annoying.

Shinozuka Maomi patted Zhou Qinghe's upper arm: "There is a saying in China that those who are capable work hard. How can we do this cholera incident without you? The soldiers who were treated by you are full of praise for you.

I heard that when they returned home, they said that you did not act like a superior, but treated them carefully, comforted them with your heart during the period of lack of medicine, and accompanied them through their difficulties.

As the Military Police Headquarters in charge of military law, we have never had a good relationship with other troops. If you have such a reputation, I think it is a good thing for the work. I am optimistic about you. "

"Thank you, Chief of Staff." Zhou Qinghe nodded and smiled.

"Okay, let's get busy." Shinozuka Maomi is also a busy man. After handling this matter, he has to return to the headquarters to work.

As soon as he left, his subordinates congratulated Zhou Qinghe one after another.

Tojo Akio also has to offer it. Although he is not so happy in his heart, after spending so many days together, he has learned to be smarter and avoid being beaten by Zhou Qinghe. His attitude is still much better.

"congratulations."

"Go to work." Although cholera has stopped, there will always be work to treat the seriously injured, so you still have to be busy.

The war continued. Under the strong firepower of the Japanese army, the disadvantages of agricultural countries against industrial countries became apparent.

The situation in Shanghai became increasingly difficult, and the Japanese army occupied more and more territory.

As the battle line was widened, the living space for agents also became larger. The gunfire in Hongkou restarted. Boss Dai sent out more agents. Assassinations and destruction of circuits occurred one after another.

During this period, Zhou Qinghe inevitably suffered two assassinations and paid the price with the death of several heroic military policemen.

In the second half of October, Boss Dai came to see him, and the two met in the concession.

"Qinghe, times are difficult. This is probably the last time I can come to you."

Now outside the concession, only Japanese are still Japanese, and there are fewer and fewer safe roads left.

As the war continues, the huge casualties have made all military leaders feel unbearable, and they are all asking their leaders to temporarily retreat, abandon Shanghai, and preserve their strength.

Boss Dai is also leaving.

"The Japanese have begun organizing clean-up operations in the occupied areas. They want to drive out all Chinese in the occupied areas and completely put an end to the sabotage and assassination operations of our secret service. Our countrymen do not dare to stay. Once they leave, the activities of our secret service will There is no space left, and besides, the casualties are indeed too great.”

Although the 10,000 people organized by Boss Dai have made some gains, and because of Zhou Qinghe's intelligence, they have actually achieved a lot.

However, the casualties were real, and the battle fatality rate reached 20%. The space was now compressed, and staying any longer would have little significance to the war situation. It would be wiser to conserve strength in order to fight again later.

"Director, we will definitely win. I need to do something." Zhou Qinghe was in a stable mood.

Boss Dai looked at Zhou Qinghe's determined face and was a little surprised. Most people would inevitably have mood swings, depression, and frustration when hearing such remarks about their imminent retreat, but this was completely invisible on Zhou Qinghe's face.

Even Zhou Qinghe should be the one who is depressed, because the withdrawal of their large forces means that Zhou Qinghe is just like the concession. The concession is an island, and Zhou Qinghe will also be an island, and he will be isolated and helpless.

What came next to Boss Dai was the infected warmth.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "Qinghe, what I value most about you is that you are not arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat. This is very good! How many people in the party are losing popularity, saying depressing words, and even there are many generals who lead troops? How can a person like this win a war if he makes shameless remarks?"

"I'm not them, we will definitely win." Zhou Qinghe smiled.

"Okay." Boss Dai also cheered up, smiled lightly and said seriously: "In order to cope with the Japanese sweeps, the Shanghai District Secret Service will all evacuate Shanghai. This must be temporary!

But you also need to know that you will not have reinforcements within a certain period of time. Think twice before doing anything. Don't do anything if you can't do it. Preserving yourself is the first priority. "

"Qinghe understands."

"The second thing is to improve your status in the hearts of the Japanese as much as possible. Your existence is like a sharp knife we ​​have stuck in their chests. The faster your status climbs, the more stable it will be. When we want to take back Shanghai, your Only then can the knife be inserted more firmly and deeper.”

"Yes."

"The third thing is to do our best to lay out the concessions and the SH urban area. After the Japanese take control of Shanghai, they will definitely continue to develop Shanghai's economy.

They cannot give up the interests of the largest city in the Far East. Only the prosperity of Shanghai will bring them more benefits. Your layout in the concession and SH urban area is to prepare for the counterattack of our Secret Service. The more prepared you are, the more benefits you will have. The easier it will be for us to come back. "

"Understood." Zhou Qinghe nodded.

"Don't be soft-hearted. Sometimes even if you need to do some bad things, it is a last resort choice. As long as it is beneficial to the superiors and beneficial to the overall situation, everything is worth it."

Boss Dai made it clear that he wanted to get closer to the Japanese. Zhou Qinghe understood and said with a chuckle: "I am a doctor. I generally don't need to do bad things, but I understand what the director means. I will not be soft-hearted when it is time to sacrifice others. .”

"That's good. Do you need to leave more manpower for you? It's still too late to enter the concession."

"No, that's enough for me for now."

The manpower in Zhou Qinghe's hands was completely preserved and was enough for the time being.

And for him, after all the personnel are evacuated, nothing unexpected will happen, and he can completely let go of his hands and feet to do things.

In November, the order to retreat was issued, and the Battle of Songhu, which had lasted for more than three months, came to an end.

The Japanese began to clean up the battlefield in a deeper level and carve up the interests of Zhabeinan City and other places.

Traitors and lackeys, agents began to jump on the stage to show off their power.

The Japanese army dispatched its military headquarters to prepare rewards based on merit.

The land that had been reduced to rubble in the concession began to be rebuilt, and the building of the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters was the first to be started.

The puppet government is in preparation, and the list of officials is being negotiated.

Zhou Qinghe received a telegram from Japan. His brother Fujita Hidetake was coming to Shanghai, and his future father-in-law Yasuda Kenichi was also coming to Shanghai.
