After all, political cadres are professionals. In just two days, the two political cadres interrogated the three traitors separately under the guise of a resistance organization according to Pu Su's reminder, and the information and intelligence obtained were very valuable. And completely figured out the ins and outs of the three people.

In the farm, Pu Su looked at the three thick stacks of interrogation materials spread out on the table, but he was really unprepared. A cursory glance at Xu Enzo's materials showed that the down-to-earth and meticulous style of the political work comrades in the border area had really reached a level that surprised him. All the confessions are clearly marked with the year and month, even to the date, and other participants.

Xu Enzuo, then 32, was the son of a mobile trader from Jingjiang. He came to Shanghai at the age of 14 after five years of primary school and three years of private school, after which he lived with an aunt on the corner of Jing'an Temple Road and Hatong Road. After six months of primary school, he spent a year at a middle school in Hankou before returning to Shanghai to learn the watch business at a friend's shop of his father. During his four-year apprenticeship as a jeweler, he also attended a private evening school. It can be described as self-improvement and more inspirational.

At the beginning of 1931, when his apprenticeship expired, he planned to open his own jewelry store, called "Xingxiang", near the Eight Immortals Bridge in the British Concession. A few months later, after the Manchurian Railway Incident, Xu Enzuo immediately ceased business and joined the International Chamber of Commerce to serve the motherland in a more beneficial way.

Mr. Xu was a member of the 500-member Shanghai Citizens' Volunteer Corps, and a lawyer named Wang Bingnan opened an office using a silk shop on Fuzhou Road. On January 28, 1932, after some training at the public recreation hall in Minami, 300 of the young men were willing to take part in the war against Japan.

Xu Enzuo was appointed by Wang Bingnan as the leader of a detachment, and Wang Bingnan led the team to Baoshan. Here, they were incorporated into the squadron and attached to the 19th Route Army. During the Japanese War of Resistance, the Citizen Volunteers suffered minor casualties. After that, they withdrew to Songjiang for further military training. However, before they could return to the front, Chang Kaishen sent the 19th Route Army to Fujian, the Citizen Volunteer Corps was disbanded, and Xu Enzuo returned to Shanghai.

In the winter of 1932-1933, Hsu Enzo organized a "Qunyi Society" in which more than 50 members with different life experiences gathered in his shop at Baxian Bridge to "increase political knowledge." However, political interests were not materialized, and as early as late 1933, Hsu had to disband the group in view of financial difficulties. Xu Enzuo spent 2,000 yuan on his mother, who lived in Hankou, to open a money exchange shop at the corner of Julaida Road and Notre-Dame Road, which he optimistically named "Huaxing".

The exchange shop was barely able to make ends meet, but he refused to join the "hoe gang" with other comrades of the Civic Volunteer Corps in order to blackmail merchants who did business with the Japanese. Instead, when the world recession finally affected Shanghai, he closed his shop and sneaked into an apartment on Pope Road with a student friend. When he learned that his father was ill, he returned to Hankow in November of that year, but his father had died before he could reach home.

In February 1934, Xu returned to Shanghai with two friends—one was an editor at Chung Hwa Book Company, and the other was a university student at Nanyang College, whose parents in Beijing were wealthy. With the help of his classmates, he opened a Asian American watch shop at the corner of Gongguan Road and Baxian Bridge Road. The watch business was so prosperous that Xu Enzuo opened a branch on Jing'an Temple Road, moved his head office to Ningxing Road, and held evening classes to improve his education.

Xu Enzo has always been patriotic. He went from self-help to mutual aid again, and organized a "One Heart Group" in Zhabei in September 1936 with another college student and a cigarette shop owner. The Ichshin has 30 members, most of whom are laborers, and its ostensible purpose is:

to raise the political awareness of the people and promote salvation activities".

The rescue campaign led to his reuniting with Wang Bingnan. In October 1936, the Ichishingu joined the Citizens' Volunteer Corps as a "Einsatzgruppen", and in January 1937, the Einsatzgruppen members underwent military training and received the promise that if war broke out, they would be provided with weapons to fight the Japanese behind enemy lines. However, this promise was never kept, the members left, and the Einsatzgruppen was disbanded.

Seeing this, Pu Su paused. Ask yourself, until now, what Xu Enzo did before the outbreak of the war is very admirable. When his family and country were in danger, he did not sit idly by, but actively participated in various anti-Japanese and salvation activities.

"How's his injury?" Pu Su looked at the political cadres on the side, and Lao Liu asked.

"It was very serious when I came, but now I have given him some anti-inflammatory medicine, and he is much better. The main thing is that he broke his ribs at the time, and he has not been treated, and after speaking, he caused a trachea ......"

"After a long cough, the fracture site cannot be completely fixed and healed by shock, and the rib cage can only be recovered by resting......

After listening to the introduction, I knew that Xu Enzuo was fine, and there was no way to put a splint on the fracture of the ribs, so I could only tie the restraint belt to recuperate. Let the hygienist here eliminate his inflammation first.

No matter what Xu Enzo did after that, how he took refuge in No. 76, things must not be so simple when things change. At least until then, he did better than most. And he contributed money and efforts, joined the organizations he could contact several times, and also initiated mutual aid after disbandment, and established a patriotic organization. Relying on the support of meager operating income, until it could no longer hold on, after raising money, he once again joined the anti-Japanese movement, and these alone are really admirable.

After taking care of the comrades in custody, increasing Xu Enzuo's nutrition, and ensuring water hygiene, Pu Su continued to watch.

On July 8, the day after the Lugou Bridge Incident, Xu Enzuo and Zhao Guangyi (who had already arrived in Chongqing and were agents of the military command) decided to organize the China Youth Salvation Association. Xu Enzuo sold the Liangyi watch shop for 1,000 yuan and set up a preparatory office in the Guandi Temple of Laoximen in Nanshi. On July 15, 1937, after posting advertisements, the China Youth Salvation Association was officially established in Guandi Temple, and a training camp was established here. More than 1,000 people attended and listened to speeches by the president of the Salvation Association, Zhao Guangyi, and the director of administration, Xue Enzo.

Some of the people who came at that time and later in response to advertisements in the JoongAng Ilbo were received by Suh Eun-joo and asked to write down the reasons for his membership in the Salvation Society. Three of them went on to become members of Hsu Enzo's assassination team, with 23-year-old factory apprentice Wang Zhigu, 19-year-old student Jiang Haidong, and 25-year-old printer Zhou Shougang. The fourth man, Sun Jinghao, threw a bomb at the Japanese triumphal procession on Nanjing Road on December 3.

In the days that followed, the new members (all students, apprentices or shop assistants) attended a number of lectures on the current political situation. On 21 July, an official representing General Zhang Zhizhong gave them the address and asked them to rush to the outskirts of Shanghai to assist the army in building fortifications. About 200 people, most of whom were between the ages of 18 and 20, went to Nanxiang as volunteers, led by Xu Enzo, to join the 87th Division. The following month, they dug trenches with access to food but no pay. When fighting broke out on 13 August, they worked mainly at night to escape the Japanese bombardment. Conditions were so difficult that 50 of the first 200 people fell ill and quit their jobs.

At the end of August, Xu told them that they had been reorganized into the secret service and would be undergoing military training. On September 2, 1937, they were transferred to Longhua and reorganized into the 3rd Company of the 7th Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Special Service Regiment. The head of the regiment is Zhu Xuefeng, who is the chairman of the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions and a disciple of Boss Du. After a month of grueling military training, they were armed with grenades, pistols, rifles, and learned how to use them. At this stage, many people are eliminated because of illness.

In late September, the company was transferred to the East Asian Sports College in Nanshi and was assigned to patrol the area around the Laoximen Judge Advocate General's Command. As long as they deem it necessary to "hoe the traitor", they have the right to take any measures, and if they arrest a person who has "committed traitorous acts", they will be tried in a military court within the headquarters, and if they are found guilty, they will be summarily executed.

At the end of October 1937, this special service company was sent to the police station on the Bund in Nanshi to assist the Japanese attack from the direction of the Huangpu River in the area of the police reserve. This was the last line of defense defended on November 11, the last day of the Battle of Shanghai.

Foreign reporters witnessed the street fighting after the Japanese crossed the Huangpu River from the perspective of neutrality in the French Concession

"We saw the Japanese hiding behind the tanks the whole time, advancing cautiously, and the tanks stopped and retreated after driving a few feet, and the air was filled with the sound of crackling fire. Opposite us, close enough to see a ball, a squadron machine gun spewed fire from the square mouth of a concrete bunker built on the left bank of a small river that flowed from Xujiahui, and the huts supported by wooden posts along the bend were lined with Chinese snipers......

Demomen appeared, causing a cascade of incendiary damage...... I watched as the Japanese soldiers quietly approached the remnants of the wall on the other side of the river, and prepared to cross the river to attack. Several tanks drove up and fired at a pillbox located at the crossroads...... A trench mortar hit it directly, and I saw the Chinese in helmets crouching down and retreating.

Today, artillery fire illuminates the entire South City...... The Chinese retreated. ”

Hsu Enzo's company fought side by side with the police reserve until dusk. At that time, the Chinese police became frightened and fled into the French Concession. The spy company followed closely behind, hiding inside a small iron gate at the southern end of Minti Niyin Road.

The French police stood there, surrounded them, forced them to drop their weapons, and sent them to a prisoner camp on the campus of the Institut Française. Xu Enzo took the initiative to think of a way, and slipped away with five other partners of the other company on the way.

A week later, Xu Enzo changed from one hotel to another, and finally found a room in an apartment on Yu Qiaqing Road. He was still determined to continue his "hoeing activities", so over the next month he began to amass a small armory of explosives, pistols, a revolver, and a few Browning automatic pistols.

Some of these ordnance were obtained from former comrades of the 3rd Company. Some were purchased from members of the Special Forces who had served in the 8th Battalion. He hid guns, grenades, etc., in his former shop, in the attic of the Asian American watch store on Ningxing Road.

In the early morning of December 3, when Xu Enzo and his team learned that the Japanese General Matsui was planning a triumphal parade on Nanjing Road, Xu Enzo and the other three, including Sun Jinghao, took some grenades and crowded into the crowd on the main road of Shanghai.

As the Japanese troops marched, the police expelled onlookers from the streets, so Xu and his two comrades had to stay at an alley 30 meters from the procession. However, Sun Jinghao was closer, he squeezed out of the crowd, rushed to the street in time, threw a grenade, and injured several Japanese soldiers and patrols. Sun Jinghao was shot dead on the spot.

The other three were terrified and fled immediately. A few days later, on 16 December, when he heard rumors that the Japanese would arrest all those who had been part of the special service, he decided to leave Shanghai by ship and rush to Ningbo, from where he would change trains to Hangzhou.

In the interrogation materials, Xu Enzuo claimed that after meeting with the chairman of the provincial government in Hangzhou, he was sent to Shaoxing County as a police officer until the end of February 1938. At that time, he returned to Shanghai and "wanted to bring all the members of the Third Company of the Special Service Corps who remained in Shanghai to Hankou to further carry out rescue activities."

So at a shelter on Alabasto Road, Xu told Jiang Haidong and a group of former secret service "plainclothes detectives" that they should join the rescue in Hankou and that he would arrange for the repatriation through the local townspeople's association.

So Xu Enzuo and some people left Shanghai for Hong Kong in advance. He left Guangdong in the middle of the month and arrived in Hankou by train. In contrast to the three confessions, another detainee, Jiang Haidong, confessed that Xu Enzuo had told him that he would take a British steamer to Hong Kong on February 23, 1938, as a means of transportation for his former medical staff to leave Shanghai, and that he would follow the same route to Hankou two days later.

Prior to this, Xu Enzo was already in Hankow. Earlier, when he was in Shanghai, he came across a newspaper report claiming that the head of the China Youth Salvation Association, who was himself, was in Shanghai. So he immediately left Shanghai in a hurry with a few people. When they arrived in Hankow, they found that some former colleagues of the China Youth Salvation Association had set up an office and were receiving hundreds of thousands of yuan a month from the government.

Part of the money from the Secret Work Fund was used to fund the thousands of members of the Salvation Society. Some of them were members of the former secret service group that came to Hankow on their own.
