Brief introduction of Ihara Hirasaburo

After Japan launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, Hangzhou fell, and Chihara became the director of the intelligence department of the Japanese secret service in Hangzhou. He was sent by his immediate superior, Ichir Watanabe, the head of the Japanese Secret Service in Hangzhou, and sneaked into Ningbo in the early spring of194/kloc-0 through the relationship between Tianning Temple and monk Qingshan in Ningbo (it is said that Mushan was also a Japanese ronin, and he went to China with Chihara to escape military service, and was a member of Chihara Intelligence Group. He assumed the alias of Xu Zhitong and pretended to be a rice merchant in Hunan. I first lived in a foreign automobile (sewing machine) shop in the western suburbs. Usually wearing robes and mandarin jackets, sometimes wearing suits, sunglasses and fedora, personable, dabbling in officialdom, making friends in business circles, going in and out of restaurants, hotels and brothels, just like a good family. In addition to running the so-called "business" (smuggling), he also went in and out of the homes of some leading figures of the Kuomintang in Ningbo as a guest through various relationships; He is also close to hooligans and local ruffians. For example, he often goes to Park Road Dahua Barber Shop to shave, make friends with the owner Tang Amao, and then mingle with Shen Xiangting, who used to be an adjutant in Zhenhaibao. Shen introduced Guo Yimin, the manager of Dongjie New Dyeing Shop, Yang Zhennan, the owner of Zhenchang Car Shop in front of Gulou, Zhu, Zhou Gengfu, the head of Shounan Township in Yinxian County. At that time, Yu was still the county magistrate of Yinxian. He once invited Zhiyuan to attend a meeting to prepare food for the outside world. Zhiyuan said on the spot that he was willing to buy 2000 tons of rice from Shanghai as long as Yu allowed the import to solve the food shortage problem. As a result, rice was brought in, but the sailboat was blown up by the Japanese plane when it approached the ocean near Haikou, a small town (this matter may also be mysterious). Since then, Zhiyuan has received more and more attention from the society in Ningbo. Those officials and businessmen, those who are also officials and businessmen, and even the scum of society have become the hunting targets of Qianyuan. So he moved to 33 Ming Kai Street in public. The military, political and economic secrets of the Kuomintang were sent from this magic cave to the Japanese base camp to provide them with information on bombing and occupying Ningbo. When Ningbo fell, Zhiyuan flaunted through the city in its true colors, and people suddenly realized. Yu, the local authority of the Kuomintang, heard about it in the mainland and found it ridiculous.

194 1 On the eve of the Japanese invasion of Ningbo in April, Zhiyuan bought off Shen Xiangting, the adjutant of Zhenhaibao, and others with a lot of gold bars and dollars. Japanese ships attacked Zhenhai, but the fortress didn't fight back. The Japanese army landed easily, and Wang Jinfu, commander of the battery, and194th Division left without a fight. At the same time, there are strange advertisements at the end of Ningbo Street: rectangular paper with thick lines around it, imitating the Chinese book "Ren Dan" in the Song Dynasty, which is divided into two types: straight and horizontal. It turns out that this is Zhiyuan's "masterpiece". Horizontal type means that the streets and lanes are impassable, and the straight type can pass, which is a sign of the Japanese army guiding the way. The Japanese army fully understood the passive resistance of the Kuomintang through the pervasive intelligence espionage activities, and had no intention of sticking to eastern Zhejiang. At that time, the Kuomintang garrison 194 Division was just a facade, and there was nothing to do. 194 1 (30 years of the Republic of China) In mid-April, Japanese soldiers invading China were divided into two roads: the first army advanced along the Xiaoyong line; On the other hand, the navy cooperated with the air force to land in Zhenhai and invaded along the banks of the Yongjiang River. 194 division can't hold on, Ningbo has fallen. At this time, Chihara showed his true colors, and instructed Guo Yimin and Shen Xiangting to gather a group of scum with slogans such as "China-Japan friendship", "Greater East Asia * * * glory" and "China-Japan support" on the morning of April 20 to welcome Japanese invaders Matsui Shigen's troops into the city, and Ichir Watanabe, the head of Hangzhou spy, also went to Ningbo with the army. Since then, the people in the suburbs of Ningbo and its neighboring counties have been in dire straits for more than four years.
