Tang Cheng has been running around, looking for various connections and opportunities to make the plan to rescue the lone army camp more perfect and safer, but as time passes, Tang Cheng's mood gets worse and worse. With the Japanese army pressing forward step by step and the outbreak of war on the periphery of Nanjing, what Tang Cheng had been worried about finally happened, and Tang Shengzhi, who served as the commander of Nanjing's city defense, was determined to defend Nanjing.

As a descendant, Tang Cheng knew that it was just a joke to defend Nanjing, and in the face of the Japanese army's pressing and great advantage, the people should first find a way to evacuate the civilians in Nanjing, and then use street fighting to gradually resist the Japanese army. Even if you want to defend Nanjing, you should talk about some strategy and use your weaknesses to deal with the enemy's advantages, and in the end, this kind of battle can only end up with a loss of troops and more than you lose.

On the 12th, an American reporter who was stranded in the city of Nanjing used a commercial radio station to send a report to the newspaper office in Shanghai, saying that the Japanese troops besieging Nanjing had broken through the Guanghua Gate and that the Nationalist troops stationed in Nanjing had fought their own battles. Hans had been paying attention to the movements of the newspapers in the concession for the past few days, and after learning that Nanjing had been invaded by the Japanese army, Hans was surprised and immediately called Tang Cheng.

After hanging up the phone call from Hans, Tang Cheng locked himself in the study upstairs, hesitation and grief filled Tang Cheng's heart, Tang Cheng knew that if history had not deviated, what he had been fearing was about to happen. The battle in Nanjing was tragic, with more than 300,000 soldiers killed and wounded in the city, Tang Cheng wanted to do something but was unable to return to the sky, and Tang Cheng, who locked himself in his study, was waiting for another call at the moment.

After the loss of Jurong on December 6, Tang Cheng used letters to contact the Shanghai underground party, which contained a piece of Japanese military information forged by Tang Cheng in Japanese. Since that day, Tang Cheng has not contacted the Shanghai Underground Party again, but according to Tang Cheng's covert observation, after receiving his letter, the Shanghai Underground Party has not been indifferent, but Tang Cheng has not yet known the specific effect of the Shanghai Underground Party's actions. Tang Cheng didn't eat or drink, and locked himself in the study, Edmund and his wife were a little worried, but Tang Cheng had locked the door, and even if Edmund and his wife were worried, they couldn't do anything.

"I'm fine, go and rest! Just leave me alone! Edmund plucked up the courage to knock on the door again, Tang Cheng in the study finally reacted, listening to Tang Cheng's voice was still quite clear, the Edmund couple was relieved. Time passed little by little in Tang Cheng's anxious waiting, and the phone call he was expecting to appear did not come, until night fell, and the phone in the study finally rang. Tang Cheng grabbed the phone almost reflexively, the voice on the phone sounded a little wooden, and when he spoke, it was like reading from a book, but Tang Cheng didn't care about this, he only cared about the content of the phone.

The third brother said that the uncle had returned to his hometown, but there were many children in the family, and only half of the children who followed his uncle back to his hometown. My uncle is still on the way at the moment, and the situation at the head office is still unclear, but according to estimates, this year's business is afraid to be lost. The content of the phone call sounds like a family affair between relatives, but Tang Cheng knows that the third brother, uncle, children in the family, head office and business on the phone are all code words. The person on the other end of the phone repeated the same content and hung up the phone immediately. Tang Cheng held the phone for a while, and linked the code words just now to Nanjing, and the content of the phone immediately plumped up.

This kind of news is definitely not what Tang Cheng wants to hear, Tang Cheng suddenly regretted it at this moment, regretting that he had dragged it out until after Jurong fell, and then sent an alarm to the Shanghai underground party. "What's wrong with you? Edmund also called me and said, you don't eat or drink for a day! Tang Cheng shut himself in his study for a day and a night and did not come out, and early the next morning, a worried Edmund called Hans. Knowing that Tang Cheng was not in a good state, Hans immediately rushed over after receiving the call, and after meeting, there seemed to be nothing strange about Tang Cheng, and Hans hated to be curious about what Tang Cheng was doing.

"Don't talk about me yet, what's going on with what I'm asking you to do? I can tell you, if the matter of the lonely camp can be resolved smoothly, your ship will be able to work for several more years. In front of Hans, Tang Cheng didn't want to expose his feelings, and he didn't want Hans to know, he was secretly worried about Nanjing, so he immediately began to change the topic. When Hans saw that Tang Cheng was no different, he had already put his mind at ease, Tang Cheng intended to change the topic, and Hans immediately entered the set.

"Things are almost arranged, I have secretly contacted a lot of people, and the trucks carrying daily necessities have now been concentrated in the afternoon to enter the concession. Some of the trucks that are unloaded leave after dark, and some leave early the next morning. At first, the patrol room was inspected more carefully, but since yesterday, the patrol room has weakened a lot, which may be the habit you said! ”

Hans looked a little complacent at the moment, because he knew that these trucks entering the taxi world were the key to transporting the soldiers of the lone army camp out of the concession. Tang Cheng handed over such an important matter to himself, obviously he didn't treat himself as an outsider, and the news from the level proved that his efforts these days were not in vain. Hans was leisurely, and Tang Cheng did not hesitate to praise Hans, as long as the problem of entering the rental boundary was solved, the operation to rescue the lone army camp would be half completed.

Hans brought good news to Tang Cheng, but unfortunately Tang Cheng's good mood did not last too long, according to the agreement between Tang Cheng and the Korean National Salvation Army, just today, Tang Cheng will help the Korean National Salvation Army smuggle weapons and equipment into Hongkou District according to the agreement. After lunch, Tang Cheng left his residence, and according to the agreement with the Korean army, after an hour, Tang Cheng had to rush to another contact point of the Korean National Salvation Army in the French Concession, where there was a part of the weapons and ammunition in the Korean National Salvation Army's stockpile.

The Korean National Salvation Army (DPRK) has been operating in Shanghai for many years, and it also has its own proxy brokers in the black market. According to custom, Tang Cheng rushed to the agreed place in advance, but he did not come to the door immediately, but secretly observed the movement in this street first. This is not the first time Tang Cheng has dealt with the people of the Korean National Salvation Army, but Tang Cheng is still cautious, because he knows that among the North Koreans, they are not monolithic.

Tang Cheng, who was wearing a peaked cap on his head and a beard on his face and chin, looked very old, and there were many passers-by dressed like him on this street, so Tang Cheng didn't look conspicuous. Following the passers-by to walk back and forth in this street, Tang Cheng, who did not find anything abnormal, finally put his mind at ease, and looked at the time when it was almost up, and Tang Cheng, who turned around and came back, looked at it as if nothing had happened and got into a small shop on the side of the street.

Tang Cheng entered a small shop that made cooked food, and the owner and men in the store were all women, and they looked like mother and daughter. Tang Cheng entered the store and walked to the counter, stretched out his right hand, and a piece of paper with a strange pattern appeared in the palm of his hand. "I'm here to pick up something, Cui Si asked me to come." The piece of paper in Tang Cheng's hand was like a token of a joint, and the female boss, who was originally busy behind the counter, instantly became a little flustered after seeing the piece of paper in Tang Cheng's hand.

Looking up at Tang Cheng, the panic in the female boss's eyes flashed away, and then she lowered her voice and said to Tang Cheng. "Go out and go to the left, and the man in the flower turban will take you to get something." When the landlady spoke, the young girl in the shop was already standing at the door of the shop and gesturing, Tang Cheng turned around, and through the street window of the shop, he happened to see a woman wearing a flower headscarf walking outside the store. Tang Cheng smiled secretly in his heart, nodded lightly to the female boss behind the counter, and then left the shop and walked left behind the flower turban.

The flower turban is not too fast, out of habit, Tang Cheng, who is following behind, secretly observes the flower turban in front, just because he has looked at it a few more times, Tang Cheng suddenly found that something seems to be wrong. The flower turban leading the way in front of him has a steady foot, and his figure when he walks looks like he has been trained, according to Tang Cheng's understanding of the Korean National Salvation Army, there will definitely be no such good hand among them.

Tang Cheng's heart moved, and while his pace slowed down, his expression remained impassive, but the corner of his eye had already secretly skimmed across the street. Sure enough, there were a few sturdy and cold-faced guys faintly appearing in the shop across the street, and Tang Cheng didn't feel that these guys with cold faces were here to go shopping.

Where did the difference occur? Tang Cheng's pace remained the same, but he thought quickly in his mind. Leaving the shop and walking out to the left about forty meters, the flower headscarf walked into an apartment building, Tang Cheng did not hesitate at all, and followed the flower headscarf into the apartment building. Everything looked the same, but Tang Cheng was careful in his heart, just when the flower turban was walking down the stairs from the second floor to the third floor, Tang Cheng, who had been following behind the flower turban, suddenly jumped out from the back window of the stairs on the second floor.

Tang Cheng's movements came so fast that the flower bandana didn't react immediately, and by the time she reacted and screamed to give the signal, Tang Cheng had already jumped down from the back window on the second floor and landed in the narrow alley behind the apartment building. "Smack!" The flower headscarf leaned out of the back window of the stairs on the second floor and shot at Tang Cheng in the alley, but the muzzle of her gun could not lock on to Tang Cheng, and the bullet only hit the empty space.
