Chapter 147: The Darkest Hour in Jiangcheng District

The guns rang out all night, and when they came together in the morning, they could see Japanese soldiers with loaded guns everywhere on the streets, fierce and vicious, as if they were going to eat people.

When the people saw it outside, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to go out.

"Teacher Qin, are you still going to work at school today?"

"yes, it's not the weekend." Luo Yao really went out, although it was safest to stay at home like this, but he couldn't get any news, so he was even more anxious.

"A bowl of noodles."

"Okay, Mr. Qin, wait a minute." They are all regular customers, and the business of the noodle restaurant today is particularly bleak, in the past, there could be at least fifty percent of the attendance rate, but now it is less than one percent.

"The Japanese entered the French Concession last night......"

"Guns are being fired everywhere, and I've heard that a lot of people have been arrested."

"Really......"

"Just over there on Dongting Street, it seems that some building has surrounded the Japanese, and the exchange of fire has lasted for about ten minutes, and the scene is too scary."

"Hey, these little Japan, how can we little people live?"

"Be quiet, let people hear, tell you ......"

“……”

Luo Yao sat down, and the conversations of the diners came to his ears, and it was difficult for him not to listen, although the common people were hearsay, but the French Concession was so big, if something happened, in a few hours, it would spread throughout the city.

The Japanese would not directly send troops to break into the French Concession for no reason, and it was also a very troublesome thing to cause a diplomatic incident.

However, the arrogant and unreasonable Japanese Navy and Army have always been no matter how difficult the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is, and their contradictions have been going on for a long time.

Luo Yao didn't have the heart to listen to these discussions.

After eating half of a bowl of noodles, I couldn't eat it, so I pressed the money under the bowl and left.

Luo Yao spent the day at school in a nervous mood, of course, he was quite calm to the outside world, trying not to be seen.

When he got off work, he went to Sunshine Coffee House as soon as possible.

Seeing the "in business" sign hanging diagonally at the door, Luo Yao was sure that Gong Hui and the others were safe, according to the agreement, if the "in business" sign was hanging, it meant danger, and evacuated immediately when they saw it, and the sign "hanging diagonally" meant that they were safe and could come in.

These small details are all able to convey information to the outside world, and only the core members of the 'River God' group know about it.

Although there are no Japanese soldiers on the streets, today the French Concession is under martial law, and not only are there few pedestrians on the streets, but there are also not many shops and restaurants that are open.

Naturally, there are very few coffee drinkers, Luo Yao pushed open the door and went in, and found that there were three or two foreigners sitting in the café, which was deserted, and this little turnover would definitely not be able to recover the cost of a day.

It was cold and it was raining lightly.

Luo Yao's cotton robe was wet, and when he went out in the morning, he forgot to bring an umbrella.

Gong Hui asked someone to bring a basin of hot water into the office.

"Wash your face first and warm it up." handed Luo Yao a towel and said, this is her usual personal use, and others will definitely not be able to do it.

Luo Yao, who is not so particular, reached out and took it, put it in hot water, washed it, then took it out, squeezed it dry, wiped it on his face before he smelled the familiar fragrance, and realized that this was Gong Hui's own towel.

It's all used, and it's not appropriate to say hypocritical words again.

"What happened last night?" Luo Yao asked while wiping his face, he was now anxious to know who the surprise action of the Japanese was aimed at last night and how much he lost.

"According to the current situation, it should be directed towards the Jiangcheng District of the Military Command, and more than a dozen points are exposed at the same time and arrested at the same time, which is extremely unusual." Gong Hui's mind was not on the coffee house all day, she was all inquiring about the news and summarizing the news through various channels.

She knew that not only Luo Yao would ask, but also the Shancheng headquarters would explain once she asked.

"There is only one explanation for this situation." Luo Yao and Gong Hui glanced at each other, and both of them thought of a situation at the same time.

Mole!

This is definitely the work of a traitor, and the level of this traitor is not low, otherwise it would be impossible to know so many points in Jiangcheng District, and even the district organs have been exposed.

"Check, you must find out this traitor!" Luo Yao commanded.

"This is an internal affair of Jiangcheng District, and we are meddling, isn't it right?" Gong Hui hesitated.

"It's not a matter of meddling, it's a matter of cold lips and teeth, if this traitor knows a lot, then he must be eliminated before he tells everything he knows!"

"It's all already mutinied, will it be kept?"

"I don't know, I hope this guy isn't that stupid." Luo Yao couldn't figure out how much this traitor had said, but this traitor had to die, otherwise, the consequences of this "demonstration effect" would be too serious.

"I'm going to use all of our power to investigate this." Gong Hui nodded, the "River God" team had already laid out an intelligence network in Jiangcheng, and its tentacles touched all aspects, Gong Hui was the existence of the "big housekeeper", and this network was all managed by Gong Hui.

Luo Yao basically didn't ask about the specific situation.

With Gong Hui's ability, it is no problem to be alone.

The intelligence network of the "River God" group is actually two networks, one is the "intranet", which is mainly controlled by Gong Hui, and the personnel are all students of the temporary training class, who are sent into various industries in Jiangcheng, focusing on lurking in some key positions, such as the telephone bureau, post office, railway and police system, their position is not high at the beginning, and it is not easy to suspect, for example, Luo Yao asked several female students from the temporary training class, except for two who stayed to be responsible for translating and sending telegrams, the others were arranged into the telephone bureau and the telegraph office.

Then the extranet is the spy brigade mastered by Liu Jinbao in the past, which is latent into zero, mainly in the field of people's livelihood services, car dealers, docks, etc., which touch the bottom of the society, mainly used for monitoring, tracking and other work.

There is also an action group.

This action group is composed of core members, and in most cases it is dormant, gathering and transmitting intelligence, as well as tracking and surveillance.

For example, Yan Ming, Mancang, and Su Jing are now taking over from Liu Jinbao in charge of the work of the extranet.

In addition, there is a "backup" system that Gu Yuan is responsible for.

The latent organizational structure designed by Luo Yao can be said to take into account everything that can be taken into account, and what cannot be considered is also arranged according to local conditions.

Of course, this architecture is not perfect, because of time issues, many ideas are not realized yet, and many are now just planting seeds, and there may be a little seedling arching out of the ground, far from the time of harvest.

Therefore, the role is limited now.

"What about the losses?" Luo Yao asked, this is the key, the military commander Jiangcheng District is the largest latent unit of the Nationalist Government in Jiangcheng, if you count the peripheral organizations and underground armed forces under control, there may be one or two thousand people.

In comparison, the "River God" direct group does not add up to more than two hundred people, and these two hundred people have to lurk, counting the special service brigade that has been reduced to zero.

If this part is removed, in fact, the total number of people in the entire "river god" group does not exceed 100, and it may only be about 70 or 80 people.

This part is basically from the temporary training class, and only a very small number of people from other departments, such as Song He, who was originally subordinate to the Logistics and Transportation Department of the Ninth Theater and later joined in.

Because they are all classmates, relatively speaking, the degree of trust and cooperation is much higher than that of Jiangcheng District, and the systematically trained agents have far more abilities and skills than those directly recruited from the society, although they are still a little immature in some aspects, but as time goes by, when they mature, it will be different.

"There are casualties, and there are more arrests, because it is at night, many people are arrested in their sleep, and at present, the destruction of Jiangcheng District under the military command is very serious, and the command system is paralyzed, and it is difficult to calculate the specific losses for a while." Gong Hui explained.

"Do you know where the arrested people have been caught?"

"Gendarmerie Special High Division Detention Center."

"Oh?"

Luo Yao's eyes lit up, he had been there in that place, and he was very familiar with it.

But this idea came together, and it was immediately extinguished, and after arresting so many people, it must be heavily guarded, and with the strength of the "River God" group, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save people.

And saving people is not only to rescue people from the detention center, but also to arrange for people to retreat and transfer, this land passage and water passage are heavily guarded by the Japanese army, and there is no chance at all.

Rescue is unlikely.

"How is Boss Li?"

"I don't know." Gong Hui shook her head, Boss Li is Li Guochen, the mayor of Jiangcheng District.

"Ignore him for now, take what we know, and immediately make a report to Dad, tonight, you have to guard the radio, Dad has instructions at any time." Luo Yao commanded.

"I see, what if Daddy instructs us to rescue us?" Gong Hui asked a very tricky question.

"We don't even know what the situation is now, how to rescue, blind rescue will only put us in it, Dad will not give such an unrealistic order." Luo Yao thought for a moment, shook his head and said.

"Yes, I see." Gong Hui nodded, "You pay attention to safety." ”

"Hmm." Luo Yao nodded, at this time, it is impossible to be too careful.

……

Early the next morning, not long after Luo Yao got up, he was freshening up downstairs, and the phone in the study upstairs rang, so he quickly wiped his face and went upstairs to answer the phone.

The phone was called by Ah Cheng, and he said an address.

Luo Yao knew that if it weren't for an emergency, Xiao Qi wouldn't have called his home directly.

He thought about it, put on a coat and went out.

When he arrived at the address that Ah Cheng said, he didn't see Ah Cheng, but saw a person he didn't expect, Tang Xin wearing torn cotton wool, a torn felt hat, and a pair of cotton shoes with his big toes exposed!

Tang Xin clasped his hands, shivering in the cold wind, his unbearable bloated figure was like a fat duck, stepping on the ground, which made people laugh.

Luo Yao knew that he shouldn't laugh, but he couldn't help laughing.
