Chapter 39: When the Operation Goes Through (8)

Xie Jinyuan's figure doesn't look very strong, and even a little thin, but whether he is sitting or standing, Xie Jinyuan's figure looks very tall. Before entering the lonely military camp, Tang Cheng hadn't really seen Xie Jinyuan, the Xie Jinyuan he saw was just a photo, but at this moment, he saw the living Xie Jinyuan. "Sir Xie, fortunately, I am the specific implementer of the rescue operation, codenamed Ghost." Even when he met Xie Jinyuan, Tang Cheng disguised himself and did not say his real name.

Xie Jinyuan was very puzzled and turned his head to look at Tan Wensong, who came together, he heard his wife say that Tang Cheng was a young man, but at this moment he was standing in front of him a dark-skinned adult. Tan Wensong glanced at Tang Cheng before explaining to Xie Jinyuan in a low voice. "Sir Xie, I'm very sorry, I don't suspect that you and your subordinates, among the people who enter and leave the lonely barracks, there are Japanese plainclothes agents. In order for the plan to be carried out smoothly and successfully, the necessary precautions are indispensable, including my true identity and my life. Tang Cheng said sorry, but looking at his expression, it seemed that this move was taken for granted.

Xie Jinyuan had obviously never seen someone who acted so strangely as Tang Cheng, so he paused slightly, and then shook his head at Tang Cheng and laughed. "Lao Xie, you are a good hand in war, but when it comes to the means of messing up in the Japanese theater, you are no match for him." Tan Wensong had already informed Xie Jinyuan about the night attack on the New Asia Hotel in Tangcheng, and Xie Jinyuan also saw the news of the opinion in the concession newspaper, and Tan Wensong was talking about this at the moment.

"Sir Xie, time is limited, so let's make a long story short." The condolences who came in and out of the lonely military camp were mixed with plainclothes spies, and Tang Cheng naturally couldn't stay with Xie Jinyuan for a long time, so he chose to go straight to the point. "What I told Mr. Tan before is not the whole plan, I want to know your clear attitude now, Chief Xie. If you oppose this plan, I will leave here immediately, and I will not mention this plan again, so as not to expose the matter and implicate more people. ”

Having said this, Tang Cheng paused to speak, and seeing Xie Jinyuan's thoughtful expression, Tang Cheng grinned. "In other words, if you want to know the full content of the plan, you have to agree with it. Only by unifying the opinions and attitudes of the two of us can this plan be successfully implemented. Tang Cheng's words made Tan Wensong, who was playing a spectator on the side, hold back a smile, and said in his heart that Xie Jinyuan, a stubborn person, can be regarded as a nemesis.

Xie Jinyuan's stubbornness comes from his bones, and his long-term military career has made his heart as hard as iron, even if the brutal battle in the Sixing Warehouse that day did not make him lose his mind. But at this moment, in the face of Tang Cheng, he couldn't beat or scold him, even if he had the rank of lieutenant colonel, Tang Cheng was not a soldier, and the set of rules in the army could not be used on Tang Cheng. Looking at Tang Cheng silently for a while, Xie Jinyuan forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and had to nod wordlessly to express his attitude.

Through the previous few times Tan Wensong and Mrs. Xie's repeated lobbying and temptation, Tang Cheng had already judged that Xie Jinyuan was moved, and the reason why he did not express his position for a long time was just that he was worried that the failure of the operation would lead to unnecessary casualties in the failure of the lone army camp. is even more willing to lay down his arms at the cost of exchanging his soldiers for the safe withdrawal of his soldiers into the concession, which shows that Xie Jinyuan really values these soldiers under him, for such a commander, Tang Cheng feels that the use of lobbying methods may not be effective.

So after he saw Xie Jinyuan today, and had a short exchange with Xie Jinyuan, he immediately chose to use the method of forcing the palace to force Xie Jinyuan to express his attitude, and now it seems that this trick is still effective. "Since you have agreed to my suggestion, Sir Xie, let's talk about my plan first. The camp of the lone army camp was guarded by the White Russian regiments of the International Merchant Regiment, and these White Russian regiments were not real soldiers, they could only be regarded as mercenaries who took money to do things. ”

"To deal with them, no tricks or means, I have prepared the smoke, just wait for the windy weather, light the smoke at the upwind position, and I will ensure that none of these White Russian soldiers can escape. The most difficult part of the entire rescue plan is how to send all 300 of you out of Shanghai, as long as one person has a problem, the entire rescue plan may be exposed. Tang Cheng took out a cigarette as he spoke, and took the initiative to light a cigarette for Xie Jinyuan like many people who came to the lonely military camp to condole.

"I came to Shanghai last year and knew a few foreigners in the concession, and although we only have a relationship of interest, I can only choose to trust them now. According to my plan, after the lonely military camp left Jiaozhou Park, with the help of my foreign friends, he would leave the concession as soon as possible. There will be American merchant ships waiting on the dock, and no matter how strong the Japanese army is, they will not dare to rashly search the American merchant ships on the dock. ”

"In other words, as long as you get on the boat, you're completely safe. In the next few days, I still need to figure out the situation of the concession checkpoint, and only after clearing the checkpoint will you not have trouble when you leave the concession. Although it was simple to listen to Tang Cheng, Tan Wensong and Xie Jinyuan understood that Tang Cheng must have paid unimaginable hardships to get so much help.

"Mr. Tan asked me before, why didn't I ask someone from the Shanghai Station of the Intelligence Department for help in this plan, and now, I have to explain it to the two of you. First of all, the Shanghai station is now too busy to take care of itself, and from the first day I came to Shanghai, the news of the Japanese army's encirclement and suppression of the Shanghai station has been continuously published in the newspapers. At this time, contacting the Shanghai station to participate in the operation will only attract the attention of the Japanese, but it will make the rescue plan face the most annoying. ”

"Second, most of the participants in my rescue plan were foreigners living in Shanghai. I don't know what the ability of Shanghai Station is, but I have long heard of the ability of Shanghai Station to drill camps. The rescue plan should have started quietly, and then ended quietly, if the identity of those foreigners was known by the Shanghai station, I was worried that this matter would be turned out by the Japanese afterwards, and used it to discredit the national ** and the lonely military camp. ”

"The third is my personal reason, I am not from the intelligence department, and I only came to Shanghai to be entrusted and inspired by my elders. I don't want to get involved with the Intelligence Department because of this, whether it is before or after the operation, and the foreigners who promised to help are only my personal relationship. Tang Cheng's three reasons were said, Xie Jinyuan and Tan Wensong secretly glanced at each other, they didn't expect that there were so many inside things they didn't know.

"More than 300 people leaving the concession is not a simple matter!" Although Xie Jinyuan has already expressed his attitude, he is still a little worried in his heart. If there were only a few dozen people in the lonely barracks, Xie Jinyuan might have already agreed with Tang Cheng's plan, but now there were more than 300 living people in the lone barracks, and Xie Jinyuan was worried that because of his attitude, these soldiers who were lucky enough to survive would face the test of life and death again.

"It is true that it is a troublesome task to send more than 300 people out of the concession, but I already have preliminary plans and preparations. Chief Xie, what you need to do now is to carry out some necessary training as much as possible, and it is best to let everyone recover their physical fitness and fighting spirit as soon as possible before the plan is implemented. If you don't have enough physical fitness, even if you are rescued from here, I am afraid it will be difficult to support you to evacuate to a safe place. ”

"From today onwards, I will arrange more condolence groups to visit the lonely military camp, and I hope that Chief Xie will not refuse the condolences they send again, because these things are sent to help you recover. In particular, the foreign doctors who came with the condolence group were specially recruited from the concession by me through some friends, and the wounded soldiers under your command can only recover as soon as possible through professional treatment. ”

The three of Tang Cheng were talking in a low voice, and a second lieutenant officer not far from the three of them suddenly raised his right hand at Xie Jinyuan. "There is a situation!" Xie Jinyuan, who had been paying attention to the movements around him, changed his face, and then issued a warning. Someone planned to rescue the lone soldier and leave Shanghai, Xie Jinyuan only privately told a few of his cronies, and when Tan Wensong brought Tang Cheng to meet him, Xie Jinyuan arranged a manpower guard around his side, and the second lieutenant officer who gave the signal at this moment was one of the guard posts.

"Look, that's a destabilizing factor, and that's the main reason why I didn't tell me all about my plans in advance." As Tang Cheng spoke, he took out a notebook and a pen from his pocket. "I was prepared before I came, even if someone saw us talking together, the things in this book are enough to explain." Tang Cheng's identity at the moment is the assistant of Huang Han, vice president of the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce, and the record in the book is the general record of this condolences.

The Guangdong Chamber of Commerce came to the lonely military camp several times to condole, according to Tang Cheng's arrangement, Huang Han would always arrange for someone to show Xie Jinyuan the general list of condolences to Xie Jinyuan, even if someone saw Tang Cheng and Xie Jinyuan talking together, as long as there was that directory of condolences products, people who peeped secretly would never think of the difference. "Yours is yours!" Knowing that Tang Cheng had made preparations in advance, Tan Wensong secretly gave Tang Cheng a thumbs up while relieving his heart.

"Of all the failed operations in this world, most of the main reasons for failure are because of leaks in advance, and the main reasons for leaks are not all because of the existence of traitors and traitors, as well as omissions in details." Tang Cheng grinned, looking as if he was deliberately explaining to Xie Jinyuan and Tan Wensong, but in fact, when he was talking, the corner of his eye was paying attention to the suspicious people around him.
