Chapter 129: Dohihara Kenji’s Punishment
“Zhou Lihua? The person the 29th Route Army met with today is named Zhou Lihua? Are you sure it’s this name? It couldn’t be a fake name, could it?”
Dohihara Kenji, after listening to the report from the intelligence group leader under him, also asked back with a face full of suspicion.
“It shouldn’t be! Because our infiltration capabilities are still quite strong, we’ve basically infiltrated the 29th Route Army seven or eight parts, many of their officers!”
So the Japanese group leaders all responded quite affirmatively.
“Then immediately investigate this Zhou Lihua’s background thoroughly for me, I need to report it to Imperial General Headquarters!”
“And Kwantung Army Headquarters!”
“There will be major actions from the Army side next, we absolutely cannot disrupt their deployment!”
“Additionally, within three days, I want to obtain all the background details on this Zhou Lihua you mentioned, including all his industry chains and background in Shanghai! I want to know exactly what kind of person and what forces have been continuously supporting the 29th Route Army!”
Dohihara Kenji, however, issued strict instructions.
“Hai!”
“Hai!”
“Hai!”
All the Japanese intelligence group leaders agreed in unison.
Then they hurriedly left the intelligence station where Dohihara Kenji was located and immediately went to carry out the orders.
Three days later,
Dohihara Kenji harshly cursed all the intelligence group leaders.
“Baka Yarou! Are you all trash? You didn’t investigate that there is such a powerful merchant force in Shanghai, or even such a person? Are you all trash?”
“Three days ago, weren’t you swearing confidently that the intelligence was absolutely correct?”
“What exactly does this mean now?”
“Baka Yarou! You all like eating dry rice so much and are ineffective at your duties, so start from the bottom for me!”
“I will select suitable people anew to take on your group leader positions!”
Next, all the Japanese intelligence group leaders were fiercely cursed by Dohihara Kenji with a ferocious face and irritable temper.
And their group leader positions were also revoked.
In response, all the Japanese group leaders didn’t even dare to breathe,
and allowed Dohihara Kenji to punish them.
At this time, Zhou Wenhua had also already begun his deployment in Beiping.
At the moment when Dohihara Kenji dismissed all the ineffective Japanese intelligence group leaders,
Zhou Wenhua’s German-equipped Company elite troops had also already arrived in Beiping City from Shanghai, and had moved into a large courtyard house deployed here by Zhou Wenhua.
And Zhou Wenhua also entered this courtyard house to live.
At the same time, from the plantations in various cities, elite security teams were continuously taking trains to come to Beiping to report to Zhou Wenhua.
For a time,
Zhou Wenhua was also busy arranging accommodations for the increasingly large number of personnel, and they needed to be somewhat concealed.
He didn’t want to be investigated by Japanese intelligence officers,
or to let the 29th Route Army’s high-level officials discover any unusual situation.
Although his relationship with these 29th Route Army high-level officials was now very good,
things that needed to be kept secret should still be kept secret.
This was also to catch the Japanese troops off guard during the Marco Polo Bridge Incident later, to kill Japanese soldiers.
As for whether to return to Shanghai for New Year, Zhou Wenhua was also thinking about this issue, and on the 129th Division side, whether he should personally go meet Division Commander Liu,
that was also under consideration,
finally, Zhou Wenhua decided to return to Shanghai on the eve of New Year to reunite with Zhou Weiguo’s father for a family dinner.
As for the 129th Division side, he decided for the time being not to show up personally.
