In the private room on the second floor of a theater in the French Concession, Ning Zhiheng looked at Zheng Hongbo opposite, he hadn't seen him for a month, Zheng Hongbo looked much older and haggard, his brows were tightly locked, and his face was sad.

"Stationmaster, I think you also received a message from the seat, it seems that you are about to start the attack operation, I wonder what your specific arrangements are?" Ning Zhiheng asked softly, he knew that Zheng Hongbo's life must be difficult, he did not have a lot of financial support, and in this place in the French Concession, the placement of his subordinates was very difficult.

Zheng Hongbo was indeed extremely laborious during this time, he served in Shanghai for many years, but most of the facilities such as back-hand and safe houses were in the former Chinese occupation area, which later became the main battlefield of the war between China and Japan, and now it is in ruins, and it is impossible to hide.

After the latent order was issued, he could only enter the concession to hide, but it was too late, and it took a lot of energy and financial resources to settle his group of people during this time, which really made Zheng Hongbo quite troubled.

On the stage directly opposite the box, a big drama was being performed, but Zheng Hongbo was not in the mood for appreciation, his face was tired, and he said slowly: "The telegram from the seat is very clear, I am responsible for sniping Japanese officers and traitors, and you are responsible for sabotage and blasting important military targets, and do your best to achieve the purpose of slowing down the Japanese army's offensive and gaining time to prepare for the defense of the national capital Nanjing." ”

Before the seat, the division of labor between the two people was also clear, and he thought that Ning Zhiheng's ability was far superior to Zheng Hongbo, so he handed over the most difficult sabotage work to Ning Zhiheng, and the less difficult assassination work to Zheng Hongbo.

After all, this assassination target was decided by Zheng Hongbo himself, and he was flexible and controlled, even if he walked on the street and saw the Japanese, as long as he thought that he could do it, he could shoot a black gun and kill him, and it was not very difficult.

However, it is much more difficult to blast important military targets, after all, such military targets are heavily guarded and heavily defended, and it is difficult to get out of them.

Ning Zhiheng picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, and said lightly: "It is too difficult to order me to destroy the three most important supply depots of the Japanese army in Shanghai.

It's all in the heart of the Japanese, surrounded by heavy soldiers, and the precautions are too tight, I'm really a little embarrassed! ”

In fact, the highlight of this mission is Ning Zhiheng, what did he do to kill a few Japanese? The overall situation at this time is of no use, unless you assassinate the high-level of Japan's invasion of China, but that kind of target is simply unapproachable.

However, the target designated by Ning Zhiheng was precisely since the first Shanghai Incident, when the Japanese army was in Shanghai, and built three military warehouses on its own, which were specially used to transport military materials, mainly weapons and ammunition.

Japan's military industry is extremely developed, the weapons and ammunition consumed in the previous wars are transported from Japan to China, since the opening of the East China battlefield in China, for the sake of safety, a special wharf and warehouse have been built, only for the use of the military, which stores a large amount of military materials, and the daily material throughput is amazing, and the scale is very large.

Blowing up any of them would cause great losses to the Japanese army's logistical supplies, which is why the department chose to target them.

Of course, Zheng Hongbo knew that Ning Zhiheng had received an extremely difficult task this time, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice that destroying such a military target was completely beyond his ability, and he didn't want to think about it at all.

Ning Zhiheng thought for a while and asked again: "I don't know if you still have any reserves of explosives there, preferably TNT explosives, my situation here is new, and there is a shortage of materials, especially arms, please support the stationmaster more!" ”

When Zheng Hongbo heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he said with a bitter face: "Zhiheng, I'm not crying poor for you, some of the previous arrangements were all blown into ruins, and the seat promised me some supplies before leaving, but the retreat order was issued too suddenly, and the troops were in chaos in an instant, and the hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed in a blink of an eye, and the defeat was like a mountain, and they were all messed up into a pot of porridge, and I didn't have time to receive the supplies at all, and the Japanese came up, so I didn't have anything saved here." ”

This time Zheng Hongbo did tell the truth, and gave him a lot of promises at that time, but the incident happened suddenly, no one expected that this retreat was so sudden, almost like an avalanche, so that everyone was caught off guard, so everything became a blank check, and there was a lot of material shortages in his hands, not even standard explosives, let alone TNT explosives.

Ning Zhiheng actually asked tentatively, he estimated that Zheng Hongbo's family would not be too rich, otherwise he would not look like this.

It seems that everything has to be figured out by itself, but unfortunately there are no goods such as arms in the Pudong warehouse, during this time, the whole of Shanghai has been blocked strictly, and even the black market has no supply of arms, so you can only solve it by yourself, but fortunately, you have plenty of funds, and you can still think of a way.

"Alright then, I'll think of a way from somewhere else, but it's too difficult to destroy, I've already returned to the office, and it will take a while to prepare." Ning Zhiheng said again.

He wanted to explain the situation to the authorities, and the preparation for such a big operation was extremely cumbersome, requiring careful planning, and every step had to be precise and not rash.

He gave Ning Zhiheng a period of forty days, according to his judgment, a Songhu battle was fought for three months, Nanjing is the national capital, hundreds of thousands of troops are guarded, no matter how bad it is, it will be supported for two months, as long as the warehouse is blown up during this period, it can be regarded as the past.

To be honest, the top level of the Kuomintang was not optimistic about the future of the Sino-Japanese war at this time, and the Battle of Songhu, which was launched by the whole country, ended in a disastrous defeat, and now everyone knows that fighting against the Japanese army on the frontal battlefield suffered too much loss, not because the soldiers were not heroic, but because the military equipment was too poor, and the lives of the soldiers could not be consumed.

Therefore, he did not think that he could stop the Japanese attack by relying on the attack in the rear, at most he just made some trouble for the Japanese and delayed the time of the attack, after all, he had to make some movements, otherwise how to explain to the high command.

So in terms of time, there is still a lot of room for Ning Zhiheng.

Zheng Hongbo is also an experienced old agent, so he naturally knows the difficulties, he nodded and said: "Zhiheng, you still have to be careful, our strength is limited, and we can't easily break it down." ”

"Yes, I'll be careful." Ning Zhiheng hurriedly nodded and agreed, Zheng Hongbo's words still have to be listened to, even if it is just a superficial article, after all, he is the stationmaster and his boss.

Ning Zhiheng thought about it and felt that there were some things that should still be asked clearly, so he pondered for a while and asked again: "Stationmaster, I don't know what Luo Xingchao's current situation is?" After all, in the eyes of the Japanese, he is still a nail inserted by the Japanese into the Shanghai stationmaster, I don't know how you deal with it! ”

In fact, Zheng Hongbo and Ning Zhiheng each led their own group of people, and they should not inquire about each other's secrets, but Luo Xingchao was a spy screened by Ning Zhiheng himself, and it would not hinder him to ask about Luo Xingchao's arrangements.

Zheng Hongbo had no intention of concealing it, so he replied bluntly: "Since you asked, I will inform you of the situation, just after you left Shanghai after performing the hoeing mission, we finally identified the Japanese spy who broke into our Shanghai station through a photo of Taro Sagawa, the head of the Japanese Special High School, and one of his assistants, this person is Pang Yingcai, a cadre of the General Affairs Office, and the assistant of Taro Sagawa is Pang Yingcai's upline.

Later, Section Chief Bian decided to put a long line to catch a big fish, using Pang Yingcai as bait to trap the senior spy behind him, but just twenty days later, when the war was about to begin, he finally waited for the appearance of this big fish, but unfortunately the critical moment fell short, Pang Yingcai found out our whereabouts, raised the alarm, and finally we killed Pang Yingcai and two Japanese agents, but still let the main target escape. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Hongbo couldn't help but smack the table hard with regret, making a bang, "What a pity!" It's just a little bit, but we also hurt this guy badly, but I don't know if he survived.

But after that, the Japanese never contacted Luo Xingchao again, I estimate that there are two situations, one is that this important target is also the senior agent in charge of commanding Luo Xingchao, his sudden attack made the Japanese suspect that Luo Xingchao had a problem, but his contact, the owner of the grocery store, as usual, did not look unusual, let alone escape, so this is unlikely.

There is also a possibility, that is, this senior spy was seriously injured and died, and Luo Xingchao was not online, so he was temporarily in a blank period and put it on hold.

After that, the Battle of Shanghai began, all the Japanese withdrew, and the owner of the grocery store also withdrew, I didn't arrest him, let him go, after all, Luo Xingchao's identity as a double agent was still useful, and all contacts were broken after that, and no Japanese came to contact him until now.

It is estimated that we have not found our hiding place yet, and Luo Xingchao cannot be contacted, or there is a problem with his line, and now Luo Xingchao cannot be taken care of, in short, he is now in a state of loss of contact with the Japanese, and I am also observing the movement at all times, and I will see how the Japanese react. ”

It turned out that there was still this situation, Ning Zhiheng was really surprised, the two photos in Zheng Hongbo's mouth should be the photos he gave to Bian Ze, Sagawa Taro and his assistant, Zheng Hongbo used them to find out the hidden spies.

Later, he also hit the senior spy hard, resulting in Luo Xingchao now being vacant, it seems that his previous disposal was correct, there are too many problems in this Shanghai station, and now I can't have more contact with them, otherwise it will be easy to put my own team into it.
