King of Secret Service

Judging by her serious expression, you can tell that this telegram is not trivial.

Liang Xiao received the telegram and looked at it, and was immediately amazed that Wu Tian's assassination team actually kidnapped the family members of the Japanese commander Xiangyue Qingji.

Xiangyue Qingsi has been busy with the war these days, and has not taken good care of his family's safety, and Wu Tian's assassination team was active in the Jiangwan area last night, just in time to rake grass and beat rabbits, and kidnapped Xiangyue Qingsi's family members.

"Send a power call to the assassination team and tell him to send someone to send Xiangyue Qingji's family members here immediately."

Liang Xiao said.

"Yes."

Tang Menghan immediately sent a telegram.

Chapter 5 and Two

Special Operations Brigade, Temporary Command.

Liang Xiao was sitting on the chair, with his legs crossed, a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, and he was puffing.

In front of him, stood two women dressed in kimonos, the older one was about 40 years old, and she still had charm.

The younger one is about eighteen or nineteen years old, elegant and refined, with a pair of hazy eyes shining like stars, skin as soft as fat, so tender that water can be squeezed out with a pinch, petite and exquisite, belonging to the delicate and lovely type beauty.

"You are the wife and daughter of Kiyoshi Kazuki"

Liang Xiao asked in Japanese.

The two women in kimonos were trembling, not daring to take a breath.

In their eyes, soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty are... devils.

This has a lot to do with the propaganda and education of the Japanese. Since the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], Japan has promoted the Chinese people as demons in order to occupy the territory of the Chinese Empire.

Many Japanese believed it was true, thinking that the Celestials were...human-eating demons.

Including Kazuki Kiyoshi's daughter and wife.

After they came to Shanghai, they had almost no contact with the Chinese.

Firstly, there is a language barrier and there are barriers to communication.

Secondly, they think that the people of the Celestial Dynasty are devils, and only the warriors of Amaterasu can not fear the devils.

This time they were captured by the devil, and their hearts were full of fear.

"answer my question."

Liang Xiao stared fiercely, and said in a sharp tone.

"My name is Suzuki Minako, and I am Kazuki-kun's wife."

The older woman hurriedly said.

"My name is Keiko Kozuki, and my father is Kiyoshi Kozuki."

Keiko Keiko followed closely and replied.

Liang Xiao looked at Xiangyue Qingji's wife and daughter. For a moment just now, he had the idea of ​​threatening Xiangyue Qingji with Suzuki Minako and Xiangyue Keiko, but this thought disappeared in a flash. Do not do what you do, now the two armies are at war, threatening wives and daughters, not what a man does.

After all, a decisive battle on the battlefield and an intelligence contest are two different things. A battlefield confrontation does not involve family members, while an intelligence contest involves all means. No matter how despicable the means are, no one will say anything.

Besides, the army of the Celestial Dynasty has already reached the Jiangwan headquarters, and it won't be long before Xiangyue Qingsi will become his prisoner, so why bother to force his wife and daughter against each other.

"Come here, take them down and treat them with delicious food and drink."

Liang Xiao waved his hand.

"Traveler, these are Japanese girls. It's kind enough for us not to kill them, and to entertain them with good food and drink."

A staff officer said indignantly.

"what do you mean"

Liang Xiao said coldly.

"Humble position...Humble position for a while...Forgive your words, I forgive you."

Only then did the staff member realize that what he said just now was questioning the order of the traveler.

"Without my order, no one is allowed to touch them, otherwise, military law will be followed."

Liang Xiao knew the virtues of these arrogant soldiers under his command, if he didn't tell them to go on, the mother and daughter would walk out of the headquarters with their front feet and back feet, and their back feet would be ruined by the wolf-like soldiers.

This kind of thing is very common in the national army, take Song Xilu as an example, yesterday they caught several Japanese women, and the soldiers ruined those Japanese women on the spot.

For things like this, the officers will turn a blind eye, as long as they don't go too far, they won't be held accountable.

After all, the soldiers under him were born and died, if they were punished for this kind of thing, it would chill the hearts of their brothers.

But this kind of thing is never allowed to happen in the special warfare brigade.

Japanese women are also raised by their fathers and mothers, as long as they did not participate in the aggression against the Celestial Dynasty, Liang Xiao would not vent his anger on them.

...... 03:30 p.m.

The vanguard of the Special Operations Brigade advanced another 600 meters, and it was only 200 meters away from the Japanese Army Hospital.

The Japanese army resisted desperately, because behind them was the army hospital, where thousands of Japanese soldiers lived. If the Chinese army occupied the army hospital, thousands of Japanese soldiers would die in vain.

The vanguard of the Special Operations Brigade saw that the Army Hospital was 200 meters away, but they were unable to break through for a long time. The armored vehicles continued to attack the Japanese army, but they were all repulsed by the Japanese artillery fire.

There was a river of blood at the entrance of the hospital, and the Japanese soldiers fell one after another, but they all bravely stood in front of them.

The frontline commander Sun Bing saw that the casualties were too high, so he used mortars to cover them again, destroying the Japanese defense line with fierce artillery fire.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the leading troops advanced 200 meters after paying huge casualties.

Immediately, the vanguard stopped attacking and searched for bunkers on the spot for defense.

The follow-up troops followed closely, and under the command of Sun Bing, rushed into the Japanese Army Hospital.

The officers and soldiers were so jealous that after rushing into the hospital, all those wearing Japanese military uniforms were shot dead. As for the nurses and doctors in the army hospital, they were all taken away in accordance with the method of dealing with prisoners of war.

As for the medical equipment and instruments of the Army Hospital, all the medical equipment that can be taken away will be taken away.

In less than an hour, an army hospital in Nuoda was looted.

Command.

Liang Xiao ordered the 36th Division and the 98th Division to stop advancing, and each unit defended on the spot.

He has already sent someone to send the deployment map of Jiangwan troops that he detected to the hands of the heavy artillery regiment commander Gao.

"Commander Gao, are the heavy artillery ready?"

"Report to the general, our department is ready to fire at any time."

"The bombardment will start in 10 minutes, and I will turn the Jiangwan headquarters into scorched earth, do you understand?"

"Humble job understands."

hang up the phone.

Liang Xiao issued an order to the Special Operations Brigade, the 36th Division, and the 98th Division through the mobile walkie-talkie, and all troops retreated ten kilometers.

Song Xilian and Xia Chuzhong didn't understand what kind of medicine he was selling in this gourd, and they managed to reach the Jiangwan headquarters with great difficulty, so they retreated so easily, wouldn't they give the Japanese army a chance to breathe.

However, Liang Xiao was the commander in chief of the former enemy in the Shanghai War, his words were... orders, no one can disobey, even if they have big opinions, they have to withdraw their troops before reporting to the higher authorities.

The ministries retreated in an orderly manner.

Seeing that the Celestial Army had withdrawn, the Japanese army cheered, thinking that the Celestial Army was powerless to attack.

Ten minutes later, all the ministries had withdrawn from the Jiangwan headquarters six to seven kilometers away.

Boom.

Suddenly, with the Jiangwan headquarters as the center, an earthquake occurred in a radius of more than ten kilometers.

The retreating German troops felt particularly strong. The ground seemed to be trembling, and some soldiers were unstable and crumbling.

Immediately afterwards, a tsunami-like roar shook the soldiers' eardrums.

"Quick retreat, this is the sound of howitzers."

An officer yelled.

Only then did the soldiers let go...the footsteps retreated.

This is just the beginning, and the next step is the main event. After the heavy artillery fired a few rounds in advance, the large-scale bombardment began.

Chapter 5 retreat, dive back

After half an hour of howitzer bombardment, the narrow Jiangwan area was almost reduced to scorched earth.

A whole ton of shells hit the Jiangwan area. Looking through the binoculars, the Jiangwan area is full of smoke and ruins, and there will be a huge crater every certain distance.

Under such shocking artillery fire, almost no one in the Jiangwan area could survive.

As soon as the gunfire stopped, Liang Xiao ordered all the troops to rush into the Jiangwan area to deal with the remnants of the enemy.

A ton of shells from the heavy artillery fired over, killing and injuring thousands of Japanese troops.

After all, Jiangwan was only the size of a palm, and tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers were crowded at once. Almost a howitzer could kill dozens of people.

The Japanese army originally wanted to fight a protracted offensive and defensive battle with the Chinese army in Jiangwan with the Jiangwan headquarters as the center. Unexpectedly, Liang Xiao used the power of a ton of artillery shells to directly razed the Jiangwan area to the ground.

At present, there are almost no people who are breathing in the Jiangwan area, and even if they occasionally encounter a Japanese soldier with signs of life, they are still half dead.

After the Chinese army marched into Jiangwan, they immediately searched for the body of the commander of the Japanese dispatched army in Shanghai, Kazuki Kiyoshi.

But no matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find the old devil's body. It might have been blown to pieces.

However, when the soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade were cleaning the battlefield, they picked up a general-level command knife from under the ruins. Judging by the word "Xiangyue" engraved on the handle, it should be the command knife of Xiangyue Qingji.

For...Japanese military officers, the command sword is...their life, they would rather lose their lives than lose their command sword.

It can be seen from this that Xiangyue Qingsi must be buried in the artillery fire.

The soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade presented this... the command saber engraved with the word "Xiangyue" to Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao played with the saber for a while, then sent someone to clean the command saber, and the guards escorted this...commander saber to Nanjing, and presented it to the commissioner as a good news of the Jiangwan battle.

In this battle, the Shanghai Expeditionary Army was completely wiped out, thousands of Japanese troops were blown to pieces, and thousands of Japanese soldiers were seriously injured and lost their ability to move.

When the Celestial Army was cleaning the battlefield, all the seriously wounded Japanese soldiers would be sent away with bayonets. This was Liang Xiao's order.

The hands of the dispatched troops from Shanghai are stained with the blood of soldiers and civilians of the Celestial Dynasty, keeping them alive is... disrespect to the dead.

Liang Xiao has never been kind to the aggressors, let alone abide by the Geneva Conventions.

He only believed in one principle, all those who participated in the invasion of Japan, no matter men, women, old or young, as long as they fell into his hands, they would never enjoy the so-called prisoners of war treatment.

.........As soon as the Jiangwan battle was over, Liang Xiao immediately sent the victory report to Nanjing, and before the Nanjing side could respond, he withdrew from the Shanghai battlefield with the First Regiment of the Special Operations Brigade.

After several days of hard fighting, more than 1000 people were killed in the special operations regiment, more than 1000 people were lightly or seriously injured, and nearly half of the combat personnel were lost.

This made Liang Xiao's heart ache. The elite soldiers he had cultivated with all his painstaking efforts gave his life to battle in the field. Thinking about it, he felt wronged.

However, the change in the battle situation in Shanghai has extraordinary significance for the entire Songhu battle.

Now that the Japanese army in Shanghai has been wiped out, the remaining small Japanese army is nothing to worry about.

As for the outcome of the next Songhu battle, it is not up to him to decide.

That night, he led a special combat regiment to evacuate from Shanghai and went to the suburbs. He called Sun Bing and asked him to lead the troops back to Hangzhou to rest. It is very clear that the annihilation of the Japanese army in Shanghai will not change the outcome of the Battle of Songhu.

Japan's national power is strong and its industry is developed. In terms of firepower, they have sea and air artillery support.

Although the Japanese army's attack was slow for the time being and failed to tear through the defensive line of the Celestial Dynasty army, if it takes a long time, as more and more Japanese troops land from the sea, the Japanese army will not be at a disadvantage in terms of military strength. , Occupying Shanghai is a matter of time.

Liang Xiao wanted to completely destroy the Japanese secret service before the main force of the two divisions led by Matsui Iwane occupied Shanghai.

.........French Concession.

A hidden courtyard.

Takeo Imai, wearing a black suit, holds a special secret service meeting in a secret room.

Before the war, the spy agencies deployed in Shanghai were uprooted by the Chinese intelligence department, causing the secret agencies to be blind and deaf in the Shanghai war.

The General Staff of the Japanese Army Base Camp was greatly annoyed by this matter. Although he has not been held accountable for the time being, if the intelligence work of the secret service still does not improve, one can imagine what will happen to him.

In this Jiangwan war, fortunately, he made a wise choice and withdrew to the French Concession ahead of time with the backbone of the secret service, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
