Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 240: Big fire and (6)

Di Siwei Road (today’s Shanghai Liyang Road) has always been the core area where Japanese military and police intelligence agencies gathered in Hongkou. On the one-kilometer fork at the intersection of Sichuan Road, there are densely packed with Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Intelligence Team and Army Staff The headquarters of the Intelligence Department in Shanghai, the 13th Army Command and Intelligence Liaison Office, the Shanghai-Japan Super High-Tech Sasaki Agency, and even the notorious "Yongle Hall" comfort station are also located here.

On the opposite side of "Yonglekan", there is an izakaya called "Bongtenya". The owner is a 40-year-old Japanese veteran named Nogawa Kenta.

Nogawa once served in the Kwantung Army. He was commanding a heavy machine gun unit with the rank of Special Agent Cao Chief (Warrant Officer). In an "suppression" operation, he was broken by a bullet from the Anti-Union’s thigh bone because of the battlefield. His medical conditions were limited. By the time he was sent to the Shenyang Army Hospital, the wound had already become infected. The Japanese military doctor cut off four or two pieces of rotten meat, and finally saved his leg.

It’s just that Nogawa will no longer be able to rush to the battlefield. According to the Japanese army’s practice, after his injury stabilizes, Nogawa Kenta Cao will honorably retired from the imperial army, while still receiving half a year’s salary and a disability. Grant.

Nogawa was unwilling to drag a stubborn leg like this, and returned to the poor and backward mountain village in his hometown. Besides, he was at home in Japan, and there was no relative at this time. Nogawa joined the Imperial Army after graduating from junior high school at the age of sixteen. He was thirty-seven years old at the time. He could barely do anything except lead soldiers to fight. And disabled people like him who had no work skills were at the time. It can be said that Japanese society is quite difficult to survive.

He has received letters of help from veterans on more than one occasion. Japan’s domestic economy is sluggish. Many former imperial soldiers now can only make a living by doing odd jobs everywhere.

Just as Nogawa was hesitating and helpless about the future, he met a fellow townsman who was working in the Fengtian branch of the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department. The other party saw that he was recruited into the intelligence branch because everyone had come from a bird county. , So this former army spy chief Cao turned into a hidden spy.

In the summer of 1935, Nogawa came to Shanghai alone with simple luggage and a yen check. He opened a Japanese restaurant on Sichuan Road in Hongkou, selling sake and Japanese meals.

The chefs of the restaurant are hired from Japanese expatriates in Shanghai, and the sake is authentic Japanese. Because of the low price and good quality, the owner is very kind and the business is very good.

The boss of Nogawa treats all customers equally. Even if Chinese guests come in, he welcomes them with a smile. So this hotel in Hongkou, where Chinese scholars gather, quickly gained a lot of popularity. What others don't know is that the owner of this hotel is actually a Japanese military spy, and this hotel on Sichuan East Road is basically a hidden intelligence station.

Before the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, Nogawa’s hotel had always been a secret point of contact between the Japanese plum agency and the internal secret agents of the government. In March 7th, the military commander unintentionally cracked a spy team working for the Japanese army, and Kenta Nogawa’s identity as a Japanese spy was finally revealed. However, before the military reunification took action, in the second month, the tragic Songhu battle broke out. Then the mountains and rivers shattered Jinling and bloodied, and the military reunification did not have the energy to come to Ye Chuan's trouble.

Nogawa was also tired of spying work at that time. He simply retired from the army, then closed the restaurant on Sichuan Road, ran to Desiwei Road and opened this Fengtianwu, and became a hotel owner wholeheartedly.

As mentioned earlier, at that time, there were a bunch of various intelligence agencies on Deswell Road, and any piece of tile could be smashed into a Japanese spy. There is no identity background to open a shop here, and it is obviously impossible to be safe. Passed. Nogawa happened to be a "owner" with a "reliable background", and the shop was opened opposite the comfort station, which attracted a large number of military and police agents to patronize, and business can be said to be extremely prosperous.

As a result, Nogawa made a fortune, and at the same time accumulated a number of relationships and contacts. This is sometimes more important than money in Shanghai today.

"Yokawa, get some more bottles of wine." Major General Maeda shouted, shaking the white porcelain bottle in his hand.

"Hey! Please wait a moment and bring it right away." Nogawa nodded respectfully, while placing the plate with yakitori in front of Maeda, and after bowing to the guests present, he picked it up and gave it away. The tray of food limped out of the room.

"Nogawa is a reliable man, you should know him very well." Maeda picked up the jug in front of him and filled Li Shiqun's glass with sake.

"Thank you very much, General." Li Shiqun looked flattered and held the small sake cup with both hands.

"Don't be so polite, Li Sang, you must have fun today.. By the way, and you Ding Sang, you have worked hard for this time." Maeda turned his face and put it in the cup in Ding Mo Village Pour the sake.

"You praised, sir, for the common cause of our two countries, everything I have done is what I should do." Ding Mocun sternly bowed to Qiantian.

"Well said, Ding Sang. You are one of the best Chinese people I have ever met. You can rest assured that the Empire of Japan will not treat real friends badly." Maeda put down his hip flask. , And then raised the wine glass in front of him.

"Two, let us first wish His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Queen be healthy, and a toast." Maeda raised his head and drank.

"Cheers!" The two traitors hurriedly toasted and drank.

"Xishi, come again." Maeda just wanted to pick up the hip flask on one side, but Ding Mo village hand quickly took it over.

"General, I should fill this glass for you." Ding Mocun held the jug steadily and poured the sake for Maeda.

"Nani? Dingsang, why do you say that?" Maeda reached out and picked up a bunch of chicken from the plate.

"This time what happened on the Bund, thank you for your presence in the military headquarters, helping us cover up, otherwise we must not be able to escape the investigation by the military police headquarters this time." Ding Mocun was respectful and sincere.

"Oh, it's nothing. If Commander Sawada caused too much trouble this time, I wouldn't be able to secretly suppress the matter." Maeda tore a bite of the chicken and chewed it, Ding Mo Village He hurriedly nodded and said yes with a smile, so that he did not notice the chill flashing in Maeda's eyes.

"Your Excellency~IndoMTL.com~Take this opportunity, I congratulate you on your promotion to the position of Commander of the Thirteenth Army. From now on, military and political affairs in Shanghai, Nanjing, Jiaxing, Suzhou and Hangzhou will be yours. It is really gratifying to make a decision in one word." Li Shiqun smiled and picked up the wine glass, snatching the topic from Ding Mo Village.

"Well, I am only acting commander now. I am temporarily acting commander. According to the rules of our Japanese army, the military will appoint another military commander in a few weeks." Maeda raised his glass and looked up. Begin to drink up.

"Your Excellency, call us here this time, not just to invite us to have a meal. If you have anything we need to do, you can tell us directly." Seeing Li Shiqun's **** hitting his horse's feet, Ding Mocun's heart was secretly refreshed, but the atmosphere at the scene became a little awkward, he quickly turned the topic off, and raised his own question by the way.
