Chapter 32: When the Action Takes Place (1)
Yang Yongjie was contacted through Boss Yu, and after meeting Huang Han through Yang Yongjie, Tang Cheng informed the two of the preliminary preparations for the rescue plan after determining the patriotism of the two. In the next two days, Tang Cheng learned about the movements of the Japanese army and the special high-tech department in Shanghai through Hans, and at the same time began to recruit foreign doctors. The Zodiac Society has broken most of its manpower, and Tegaoke, who has always wanted to extend its tentacles into the concession, had to use the power of the Green Gang to enter the concession to investigate clues related to the attack on the New Asia Hotel.
But the Qing Gang is only a gangster force after all, even if there are Japanese plainclothes agents among them to guide them, the execution and action of the gang still fail to meet the requirements of the Shanghai headquarters of the special high-tech department. Under this situation, Tang Cheng began to recruit foreign doctors, and Boss Yu, who learned about it, was naturally very worried. "Xiao Tang, it's better for you to be careful, the Japanese are obviously jumping over the wall in a hurry now, and the hooligans and ruffians who can be seen everywhere on the street must be the handiwork of the Japanese."
"Uncle, don't worry! Of course, the hooligans were the work of the Japanese, but I felt that there were more anti-Japanese people in the concession. In the warehouse of the tea house, Tang Cheng, who had already changed his outfit, was sticking his beard to his chin in front of the mirror. Tang Cheng's current appearance, even if someone familiar sees it, I am afraid that it will not be possible to recognize it at the first time, if he wears a hat and glasses, he looks like a twenty-six or seventeen-year-old adult.
"The condolence group has been arranged, and the doctor's affairs must be accelerated, otherwise the plan will be disjointed." Tang Cheng, who had a good beard, turned around and looked at Boss Yu, "Within this week, the condolence group must go to the lonely military camp once, Chief Xie's personality is good, he is a model of a soldier who strictly abides by military orders, and if it is ugly, he is dead-brained and does not know how to be flexible." Before the whole plan was launched, I had to lobby Chief Xie through Huang Hanxian, and if the Lone Army Battalion did not cooperate, my rescue plan would not be successful. ”
Tang Cheng said this, how could Boss Yu not know, but he himself had never met Xie Jinyuan, and Boss Yu also obtained his understanding of Xie Jinyuan through the Intelligence Department. "It's better to be safe, that's what the headquarters mean!" When Boss Yu said the word safe, there was obvious fluttering in his eyes, Tang Cheng's idea of rescuing the lonely army camp, Boss Yu had already transmitted it to the headquarters of the Intelligence Department through the radio, but he still did not receive a reply from the headquarters of the Intelligence Department.
Boss Yu's expression changed, and he did not escape Tang Cheng's eyes, "Uncle, at this time, we may only be able to rely on our own strength!" Tang Cheng paused slightly, and after a few pauses, Tang Cheng continued. I have already received news that the Japanese army is preparing to besiege Nanjing next, ** there means to defend Nanjing, but I have received the news that the military may take the initiative to abandon Nanjing when the war is unfavorable. Therefore, the headquarters of the intelligence department in Nanjing may have been on the way to evacuate Nanjing at this time. ”
Tang Cheng, who knew the direction of history in his heart, suddenly found that he couldn't do anything at this time, and he had no way to explain the result of the loss of Nanjing to Boss Yu in detail. "Abandoning Nanjing?" Boss Yu was completely shocked by Tang Cheng's words, Nanjing is the capital of the national ** and the political center of the country. "No, ** will never give up Nanjing, the troops who retreated from Shanghai are all gathered in Nanjing..."
Boss Yu shook his head hard, but before he finished speaking, he couldn't continue. The casualties and losses of the national army in the battle in Shanghai were far beyond the speculation before the war, and Boss Yu, who was a member of the intelligence department, could not know. The soldiers of the national army did not lack the courage and bloodiness to fight to the end with the Japanese soldiers, but the disadvantages in weapons and equipment could not be made up for by courage and bloodiness alone. With the results of the Shanghai War in front of him, Boss Yu couldn't help but secretly deduce the results of the Nanjing War, and found that it was not very ideal.
The loss in Boss Yu's heart was already on his face, Tang Cheng took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to help Boss Yu sit down on the box behind him. "Uncle Yu, China is very big, although she is still very weak, but as long as we do not give up resistance and actively resist, Japan's vain attempt to occupy China will not become a reality. One of my elders often said that it is not our strong point for professional people to do professional things and face the enemy head-on, but when it comes to the ability to lurk in enemy-occupied areas, we are not weaker than the Japanese. ”
"Killing one is enough, killing two to earn one, although it is very happy, but it is a reckless style. People like us can't always think about earning one, we should earn a hundred or a thousand, or even more Japanese lives. I came to Shanghai this time not only to assassinate a few traitors, but to give them fear and pain to the bones when the Japanese were most proud, so that they would know that the Chinese will never bow their heads. ”
"According to the current comparison of troops, the national army obviously has an advantage, but you and I both know that the national army troops assembled in Nanjing are uneven, and it is impossible to do everything, and the Japanese army will also select the weak army of the national army to attack. Nanjing's city defense is not as impregnable as the Ministry of Defense said before, and it is only a matter of time before it is lost, but those of us lurking in Shanghai must not relax. Because, when the Japanese army in Shanghai was getting carried away with the celebration, it was the best time for us to rescue the lone military camp. ”
In order to encourage Boss Yu not to lose hope, Tang Cheng told the time of his rescue of the lonely army camp for the first time, but all this still depends on the reaction of the Japanese army in Shanghai before making a decision. Under Tang Cheng's persuasion, Boss Yu's mood gradually calmed down, but the loss in his heart could not be completely dissipated. "I will continue to get in touch with the headquarters, and even if the headquarters does not agree to this action, I will do everything in my power to help you implement this plan."
Tang Cheng had no way to change the direction of history, but he was willing to use his ability to help those who were willing to resist Japan, and the lone military camp imprisoned in Jiaozhou Park was one of these people. Leaving Boss Yu's tea house, Tang Cheng, who was wearing a top hat and a coat, immediately rushed to a foreign clinic in the French Concession. The owner of this clinic was a friend of Hans and a member of Hans's intelligence network, and Tang Cheng had come here to recruit foreign doctors in the concession.
"Tommy, thank you so much this time." Tang Cheng, who worked overtime with patients, watched the entire recruitment process in this clinic, no matter what the purpose of the foreigners who came to the clinic today, Tang Cheng could be sure that many of these foreigners did have the quality of doctors. Tommy, who was sitting with Tang Cheng drinking coffee at the moment, was the attending doctor of this clinic, but he was willing to help with this, not because of Hans's order, but because of the four gold bars that Tang Cheng took out.
Tang Cheng was quite satisfied with today's recruitment, and reached out to push the gold bar on the table to Tommy's hand, "Tommy, according to what we said before, as long as the people who come tomorrow will be considered an advance payment for each person." In the future, whenever they go to the lone camp once to treat the wounded soldiers there, I will pay a certain amount of money. As he spoke, Tang Cheng took out a cloth bag from his pocket, opened the cloth bag, and what caught Tommy's sight was a dozen yellow and clear gold bars.
Unlike Hans, Tommy is a typical money lover who, in his words, is willing to serve the devil as long as his employer gives him enough money. Tang Cheng is not the devil, but Tang Cheng can come up with enough money, so Tommy has a good attitude towards Tang Cheng. "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to do this to your satisfaction!" Tommy, with a glint in his eyes, took the cloth bag full of gold bars, although these gold bars did not belong to him, but this did not prevent Tommy from carefully stroking the gold bars in the cloth bag at close range.
Tommy's greed for money did not prevent Tang Cheng from handing over the recruitment of doctors to the other party, and through the contact between the palms of the two just now, Tang Cheng had already determined that Tommy's appearance was deliberately pretended. As for why Tommy pretended to be heartless and loved money, Tang Cheng didn't show interest, after all, Tommy was Hans's person, and Tang Cheng knew that he couldn't conflict with Hans at this time.
There were only a dozen foreign doctors who received an invitation and came to Tommy's Clinic. A dozen doctors were faced with a lone army camp of more than 300 people, which was obviously not enough doctors, but Tang Cheng did not accept Tommy's suggestion to further expand the recruitment of doctors. "Tommy, thank you for the reminder, but the lonely military camp is too sensitive in Shanghai, and there are more doctors going there, so it may not be a good thing."
Tang Cheng's explanation made Tommy pause slightly, and then scolded in a low voice, "Damn the British! When the lone battalion retreated into the concession, it didn't say that it would imprison them afterwards! They are all heroes and they don't deserve to be treated like this! If this had happened in the United States, that damned British major would have been imprisoned in a military prison long ago, because his actions had tarnished the title of hero! ”
Whether it is now or in the era when Tang Cheng came, the Americans have always flaunted their concept of freedom, but Tang Cheng did not expect that Tommy would curse the British major who forced the lone military camp to surrender his weapons before retreating into the concession in front of him. "Yes, the British major is indeed a very hateful one, and if he had said at the time that he would have imprisoned the lonely barracks after surrendering his weapons. I think that the soldiers of the lone army camp at that time would rather die in the Sixing warehouse than withdraw into the concession. Tang Cheng echoed.
The performance of the lone army camp in the Sixing warehouse at that time, all the foreigners in the concession saw it, even if the national ** finally lost the battle of Shanghai, but the lone army camp has already been regarded as a hero by many foreigners in the concession. If this were not the case, there would not be so many faces of foreigners in the groups that went to the lonely military camp to pay their respects.
