Chapter 425: Boat Gang
Chapter 425: Boat Gang
"The war with the Japanese is imminent. During this period, you must train your troops well to ensure that when the enemy goes to war, there will be no deserters or cowards in the face of overwhelming firepower bombardment."
"In ten days, a battle plan will be issued. As commanders of regiments and battalions, you must be familiar with the tasks of each unit."
"I will have Liu Wei contact you later. Please write a list and report immediately if you need any equipment or supplies."
Ye Feng stood up, walked to the door, turned around, and said seriously:
"After your respective units are assigned tasks, whatever clever ideas you have in mind, keep them to yourself."
"Even if your head is about to fall off, you must complete the combat mission 100% for me."
"If anyone does something weird..."
When Ye Feng said the last sentence, his eyes were fierce. That terrifying look seemed to materialize and could kill people.
Even Ye Feng's body was surging with a bloody aura, which was the powerful sense of oppression displayed after killing enemies on the battlefield, and its deterrent power was amazing.
"Yes!"
Everyone stood up and shouted, "Make sure to complete the mission!"
After leaving the army, Ye Feng led the division's troops and headed straight to the Sanwan Port on Shanghai Beach, which was the territory of the Liangchuan Gang.
During these few days, Ye Feng received many intelligence documents about the Liangchuan Gang in the building.
This Shanghai gang was extremely arrogant and did not take the anti-Japanese armed forces seriously at all.
They smuggled for profit, killed people for loot, and dominated the market, doing all kinds of shady businesses.
When the law and order maintenance team passed by, the Liangchuan Gang did not give them any face and even allowed their men to injure people. Not only did they injure people, they also smashed, looted and burned other businesses around them. Relying on their large numbers, they were extremely arrogant and domineering, with their noses almost up in the air.
What made Ye Feng most angry was that when you were making huge profits, you didn't even share a part of the profits with us.
Don’t I, Ye Feng, have any face?
You are such a shitty leader of the Liangchuan Gang, what kind of guy is that? Do you know who has the final say in Shanghai now?
Relying on the support of Shancheng and the foreigners, they are so disrespectful.
Since you don't give me face.
Ye Feng said that your Liangchuan Gang no longer has any need to exist.
"Commander, according to intelligence, the Liangchuan Gang is backed by the Shancheng intelligence department, and the foreign devils have invested in the company to share in the profits. Moreover, almost half of the Liangchuan Gang's huge profits every year go to the boss of the Shancheng special agent department."
Zhang Ye, the co-pilot, continued his analysis:
"If we touch the Liangchuan Gang, those Shancheng agents in Shanghai will definitely cause trouble and create chaos. Even the foreign devils with money and connections will use international channels to put pressure on our Yan'an headquarters."
Ye Feng didn't even raise his eyelids, and said expressionlessly, "Do I, Ye Feng, need to obey his orders from Shancheng? Do I need to show some mercy to the foreign devils?"
Since the Japanese were driven out of Shanghai, the anti-Japanese armed forces, with Ye Feng's special authorization, launched many battles directly into the concessions, resulting in many foreign concessions being reduced to ruins and many casualties. The so-called "concessions" were actually in name only.
If it weren't for the fact that these foreigners could get some equipment and ammunition, Ye Feng would have wiped them out long ago.
In Ye Feng's opinion.
I'm giving you face by sparing your lives, foreigners. Don't be so shameless.
The same goes for the Shancheng Intelligence Department. I allow you to continue jumping around in Shanghai because we are all Chinese. If you don't know how to restrain yourself and behave yourself, I can only do it myself.
today.
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
Ye Feng said, "Xiao Zhang, I heard that among the many old gangs in Shanghai, the largest and strongest one is the Shiqing Gang?"
Zhang Ye said, "Yes, the Green Gang is the most powerful old force. It has many followers and countless gangs. Its business covers all industries, including restaurants, casinos, dance halls, bars, and other factories, shipping and cargo. It is the biggest destabilizing factor that can affect the stability of Shanghai."
Ye Feng asked, "It seems there is no news about the Qing Gang now?"
Zhang Ye said, "Commander, because we have pulled away a large number of people from the Green Gang, especially those at the bottom. Many of them have joined our anti-Japanese armed forces. In addition, with you, an anti-Japanese hero, in charge in Shanghai, the Green Gang bosses know that they cannot beat the big guys, so they have kept a low profile and even donated a lot of money and food supplies to protect themselves."
Green Gang.
These two words are almost the representative business card of the old forces gangs in Shanghai.
It is a modern secret society, also known as the Qing Gang and the Anqing Gang.
Legend has it that it originated from the folk religion Luojiao in the Ming Dynasty. It was originally distributed in Beizhi and other places, and later developed southward along the canal and continued to grow in Shanghai.
In the beginning, his disciples mainly made a living by transporting grain in various ports along the canal, and were also called grain ship gangs or grain gangs.
It is said that the gang has its own rules and rituals, and distinctions between seniorities. It recruits disciples based on seniority, and has long maintained its feudal gang status in canal shipping. Its members are required to "assist with funerals and weddings, and relieve the poor and the needy," thus winning the support of the majority of grain ship sailors and the lower classes.
"They were engaged in the secret sale of salt or in tax evasion."
Its membership became increasingly complex. In addition to bankrupt farmers, unemployed handicraftsmen and lumpen proletariat, many laid-off soldiers also joined, and there were also a few landlords and gentry.
The main figures are Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin, known as the Three Tycoons.
Some Green Gang leaders colluded with warlords and politicians, recruited many followers, occupied a certain area, opened casinos and brothels, trafficked drugs, kidnapped and extorted, and divided the spoils on the spot.
Some used the huge amounts of money they had looted to invest in industry and commerce. These people were arrogant, lawless, and harmful to the local area.
Zhang Xiaolin’s 50th birthday, the completion of the Huang Family Garden built by Huang Jinrong and the construction of the Du Family Ancestral Hall by Du Yuesheng became a "grand ceremony" that caused a sensation in Shanghai at that time.
In Ye Feng's eyes, the Green Gang is a cancer in Shanghai that must be eradicated.
Because the Green Gang had the blood of too many innocent people on their hands. For example, after the Japanese captured Shanghai, many members of the Green Gang colluded with the Japanese and acted as traitors, causing the deaths of countless people.
These debts must be repaid with blood.
"Xiao Zhang, tomorrow, ask Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng, and Zhang Xiaolin from the Green Gang to come to my office."
"If you don't show up by then, you will bear the consequences."
The Liangchuan Gang has a mountain city and is backed by the foreigners. I, Ye Feng, am ready to destroy it.
You are a member of the Qing Gang.
You used to collude with the Japanese and harm the people. How can we keep you here?
Shortly after.
Ye Feng and others arrived at the Liangchuan Gang's territory, a relatively bustling port terminal.
"Commander, according to records, some time ago, the Liangchuan Gang also donated some food supplies to our anti-Japanese armed forces."
Zhang Ye continued:
"There are rumors that the Liangchuan Gang and the Qing Gang were originally one family hundreds of years ago, but later separated for various reasons. If we destroy the Liangchuan Gang, the Qing Gang may not be able to stay calm either."
"Do we need to contact our guard team in advance to deploy targeted defenses in various locations?"
Ye Feng shook his head and said, "I am the commander of a party organization, and I am afraid of a small gang like him?"
The so-called gangs are nothing but small scoundrels and clowns in front of the army which has money, people and guns.
The Qing Gang is restless?
That's even better, wait for it to show up and then destroy it together.
