In August, the drifting floodwaters near Haigu rose sharply, and the Japanese Haigu Army secret service was worried that the flood would pour into the Japanese concession, so they ordered Wen Peishi to blow up the right embankment of the canal in Yangliuqing Town and Sangyuan, and the flood water immediately rushed to the southwest depression area.

However, the water level of the city's rivers is still rising, and the right embankment of the South Canal has lost its resilience.

Three days later, the flood rushed to the outside of the Dawei embankment, which means that the urban area of Haigu is surrounded by heavy water.

The continuous flooding has made everyone very worried.

Although Lu Chengzhou is in the British Concession, he is a native of Haigu, which is his hometown, where his fellow villagers live.

If there is no war, Lu Chengzhou will definitely go all out to control the water.

However, Lu Chengzhou, who was standing on the Dawei embankment, looked at the ocean outside the Dawei embankment, and Lu Chengzhou could only pray secretly, hoping that the water would recede.

"Mr. Lu, if this rain doesn't stop, I'm afraid the embankment will burst." Zhang Guanglin said worriedly.

"It's going to rain, and there's no way around it. I reckon that the levee will burst. You instructed the Daxing grocery store to prepare more goods for emergencies, and no one knows when the rain will fall. Lu Chengzhou admonished.

At present, the prices of flour, rice, and cornmeal in urban areas have increased.

The price in the concession is a little lower, but not much.

"Mosquito coils, matches, candles, and even pickles, soy tofu, and shallots have been prepared." Zhang Guanglin nodded.

"You can put all the money into it, and if it's not enough, I'll go get some more money. The current prices are quite cheap, and once the water enters the city, the prices of these daily necessities will rise day by day like a flood. Lu Chengzhou reminded.

"How can I use your money?" Zhang Guanglin said embarrassedly.

"At that time, as long as we sell at a low price, we can also make a lot of money, which is an opportunity to make a fortune." Lu Chengzhou smiled, his superiors had not contacted him, so he couldn't help if he wanted to provide funds to the organization.

Lu Chengzhou has already accumulated tens of thousands of yuan in hand, and if you add the funds of the military commanders he can call, it will be even more.

Of course, under the orders of Lu Chengzhou, the military commanders also began to hoard supplies.

If the flood does rush into the city, all kinds of prices will inevitably rise.

Although Fang Nansheng can contact the Haigu City Committee, it is not the same line as Lu Chengzhou after all.

According to the discipline of underground work, Lu Chengzhou must not have horizontal contact with the Haigu City Committee.

"Okay." Zhang Guanglin nodded.

So far, he still hasn't fully figured out what kind of person Lu Chengzhou is.

On the surface, Lu Chengzhou is very loyal to the Japanese, and what he does is also in line with the behavior of a traitor.

However, Zhang Guanglin didn't see Lu Chengzhou's crimes.

Of the 20,000 yuan awarded by Chongqing this time, Lu Chengzhou left 10,000 yuan as the activity fund, and Fang Nansheng shared 3,000 of the remaining 10,000 yuan.

Suddenly getting so much money, Fang Nansheng was also very excited.

Chongqing does not agree with the Union Bank, and their only preference is fiat currency.

Therefore, the money rewarded by Chongqing is also measured in fiat currency.

Haigu's current common currency is the Union Bank Bills, which have been depreciating since the Union Bank Bills were listed, and the original Union Bank Bills and the fiat currency were one to one, but now they are afraid that they have dropped to two to one, or even three to one.

Among the common people, fiat currency is the real currency.

Although the Union Bond can be used in the Concession, the Concession prefers fiat currency to the Union Bill.

Therefore, the 3,000 yuan that Fang Nansheng got in his hand was at least equivalent to more than 6,000 Union Bank Coupons.

For the Haigu City Committee, this is a huge amount of money.

Almost the moment he received the money, Fang Nansheng had only one thought in his heart, to hand over the money to the organization and play a greater role.

As an underground party member of the Haigu City Committee who broke into the military command, Fang Nansheng directly contacted Gu Sanshi, the secretary of the Haigu City Committee.

"Secretary Gu, this is the 3,000 legal currency rewarded by the military commander, please hand it over to the organization for me as my party fee." Fang Nansheng solemnly handed over the money he had just gotten to Gu Sanshi.

"Your performance this time is also very good, and your superiors have praised you." Gu Sanshi took the money, held Fang Nansheng's hand tightly, and said happily.

"If it weren't for the flames, I'm afraid Haigu Station would have to be finished this time, let alone get rid of Nozaki." Although Fang Nansheng slashed Nozaki, thinking about it now, he still felt afraid.

Lin Fan was arrested and defected, if it weren't for the flames to find a way to get in touch with the headquarters, I'm afraid the Haigu station would not have done anything, let alone lead the gendarmerie detachment to the Daguang Cinema, so that the Haigu station would take advantage of the situation.

"Who the hell is this flame?" Gu Sanshi said a little strangely.

"I've always been curious, but so far, I don't know who he really is." Fang Nansheng shook his head.

The flame was suddenly airborne by the stationmaster, and he didn't have much contact with the people at Haigu Station.

Just like the original matches, orders are mainly conveyed through BFIPU.

"As long as he is truly anti-Japanese, by the way, what do you think of the flame's attitude towards the CCP?" Gu Sanshi asked.

"People who are really in command of the military will not have a good attitude towards us." Fang Nansheng said slowly.

"Secretary Gu, how is the situation at home recently?" Fang Nansheng asked.

"Everything is fine, by the way, according to the decision of the higher party organization, from now on, the use of secret radio stations in the city will be stopped. In the future, our contact with the superior organization can only be through secret traffic officers. Gu Sanshi asked.

This is an order from a higher party organization, and although it is convenient to use the radio, it is also easy to be exposed.

Isn't the exposure of the radio station at Haigu Station because it is used too frequently?

Moreover, our party's conditions are far inferior to those of the military command, and even if the secret radio station in Haigu continues to be used, there will not be a radio station on standby 24 hours a day in the base area.

"What if there is an urgent message?" Fang Nansheng said in surprise.

"This is an order from a superior, even if it is an urgent order, it cannot be turned on again." Gu Sanshi said firmly.

"Okay." Fang Nansheng said helplessly.

On August 16, 1939, outside the west and south of Haigu, the water depth reached 5.1 meters, and the embankment was unsupported.

At 11:50 a.m. on the same day, the Nanda Wai embankment burst west of Chentangzhuang, and the flood water rushed to the foot of the small embankment.

By the 20th, the southwest wall of Haiguang Temple broke the embankment, the flood water entered the city, the water depth of the general street was about 1 meter, the water depth of the new warehouse area was 1.8 meters to 2.4 meters, and the deepest place actually reached 4 meters.

Except for a few highlands in the city, it is a vast ocean.

The next day, the flood continued to rise, with 80 percent of the city flooded, 650,000 people affected, and countless houses collapsed.

Prices in the city are rising, plague parades, floating corpses are drifting, and it is unbearable to see.

In the city, all cars are not allowed to drive, and citizens can only travel by boat.
