Four hours before Ning Zhiheng was assassinated, in a room in the Shanghai Public Concession, Huo Yueze, chief of the Shanghai Intelligence Section, was listening to a report by Ji Hongyi, head of the First Intelligence Group.

"Section chief, at about five o'clock this afternoon, a large number of personnel from Shanghai Station suddenly left the French Concession." Ji Hongyi said.

He was mainly responsible for gang intelligence and surveillance, and the Shanghai station was always under his surveillance.

"Where exactly?"

Huo Yueze was not surprised by this, since the Intelligence Bureau sent a secret telegram warning to the headquarters, he estimated that the Shanghai Station should have responded.

According to the agent's guidelines, the Shanghai station should immediately rescind its plan to attack the banknote printing base by force, and it now seems likely that this is evacuating personnel.

Ji Hongyi replied: "There are only three of us on duty to monitor, I left one to monitor in situ, and the other two tracked to the public concession, but these people are all acting separately, and our people can't track all of them, only know that some of them have entered the downtown area of Shanghai, some have entered the public concession, and finally they have tracked a residence in the public concession, and they are now being monitored." ”

Huo Yueze nodded, and said: "I know this situation, a few days ago, I found that the Japanese special high school is frequently transferred, and a large number of personnel are unknown, and I suspect that the Japanese are going to make a big move, so I sent a report to the headquarters and asked them to warn the Shanghai Station, now it seems that they are evacuating people, but I didn't expect Wang Hanmin's action to be so big, and simply evacuated everyone to the public concession, I estimate that now the French concession is empty, this person has no other strengths, but this point is worth learning." , it is not unreasonable for the bureau to be able to promote him to the stationmaster of Shanghai Station, by the way, did you find that Duan Tiecheng and Wang Hanmin showed up? ”

Ji Hongyi shook his head and said, "No, there are too many people evacuated from Shanghai Station this time, and our monitoring personnel are limited, so we didn't see these two show up." ”

Huo Yueze didn't ask much, he just thought that the behavior of the Shanghai Station this time was quite normal, because returning from the French Concession to southern Jiangsu, he had to pass through the Public Concession and the downtown area of Shanghai, and it was also expected for the evacuees to enter the urban area.

"I'll send a telegram to the Governor tonight to report on the situation, you keep an eye on that residence, and the Governor has said that the Shanghai Station must be under our surveillance, and they can't let them cause us trouble."

"Yes!" Ji Hongyi nodded in agreement.

Huo Yueze didn't expect that things were just the opposite of what he expected, Duan Tiecheng insisted on going his own way, ignored the early warning telegram from the headquarters, and started an offensive operation this evening.

He didn't expect that things were so coincidental, Duan Tiecheng actually took the director as an assassination target, and almost succeeded, allowing Ning Zhiheng to walk on the edge of life and death.

It wasn't until the evening when he rushed to the Tan Mansion to send the telegram that he realized that something was wrong, it turned out that the two parties agreed that every night at 0:00 was the time when the Tan Mansion and Fujiwara would be powered, and once this time passed, they would no longer accept messages.

Because the two locations are close to each other, there is no need for the transmission of the relay station in between, so after the message is sent, in order to ensure that both parties receive the message, the receiving party will generally send back a confirmation message after receiving the message.

But this time, Huo Yueze sent the telegram over, and he didn't receive a call back from the other party for a long time, and he was suddenly a little worried.

The radio station of Fujiwara Club is controlled by Yi Huaan himself, and he never pretends to others, so he is on duty at Fujiwara Club every night and never leaves.

But this time, when Yi Huaan heard that Ning Zhiheng was assassinated, he immediately took someone to protect him, and he didn't turn on the radio to receive the signal at all, so Huo Yueze quickly noticed that something was wrong, and he suddenly felt as if he had neglected something.

When he returned to his residence, Ji Hongyi hurried to report again.

It turned out that their team members found that in the middle of the night, the originally quiet and uninhabited Suzhou Creek, suddenly cruising many patrol speedboats, searchlights were shining back and forth, and the six bridges leading to the city were all on guard.

This abnormal situation was quickly fed back to Ji Hongyi, who contacted the abnormal situation this afternoon and felt that something was wrong, so he immediately rushed to report it to Huo Yueze.

"Section chief, tonight our people heard the sound of gunfire and explosions on the other side, and now the Japanese have blocked the Suzhou Creek again, could it be something done by Shanghai Station, maybe they didn't evacuate at all, but are ready to do something brutally and attack the Japanese banknote printing base?"

When Huo Yueze heard this, he was shocked, it seemed that he was careless, he didn't think of this, and when he contacted Yi Huaan just now that he didn't receive the message, his heart was extremely uneasy, could it be that this operation of the Shanghai Station had anything to do with Fujiwara Kaisha?

He secretly decided that tomorrow he had to cross the river in person, enter downtown Shanghai, meet Ning Zhiheng, and learn the latest situation.

At two o'clock in the morning, Lianjia's old house, Duan Tiecheng and Wang Hanmin were walking around the house anxiously.

They don't know what the outcome of this operation will be, and whether the members of the Einsatzgruppen have completed their mission, but judging by the current situation, the Japanese seem to be prepared.

Whether the whole operation is completed or not is the issue they are most concerned about, they have put all their net worth up, if this mission fails again, waiting for the two of them will be severely sanctioned.

"Brother Tie Cheng, what do you say Jiang Guotao, how are they doing now? Was the operation successful? Wang Hanmin asked worriedly.

Duan Tiecheng's face was dark, and he shook his head and said: "Now that we are trapped here, we can't get any news, I hope they can succeed in their action, but the most important thing for us now is to think about ourselves!" Whether our operation succeeds or not, tomorrow the Japanese will definitely conduct a city-wide search to arrest those who have slipped through the net; although this house is not small, there are no secret rooms and passages to hide, how can so many of our personnel evade the Japanese search? ”

Of course, Wang Hanmin also knew this, he couldn't help but shake his head regretfully and said: "This old mansion really doesn't have any place to hide, the only secret room has been filled by us, and it's too late to prepare now, besides, we have too many people to hide at all." ”

Duan Tiecheng was also anxious when he heard this, and he asked again: "If you can't hide it, you can only get through the tricks, don't you have forged identity certificates?" I've explained it before the action, do you want to bring it, try to see if you can get through! ”

Wang Hanmin spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "It's useless, although we have made a lot of good citizen certificates before, but after all, it is fake, it is okay to simply deal with the inspection on the street, tomorrow's search will be very strict, if someone finds the door, the Japanese will definitely bring the people from the police station to search together, they all have household registration in their hands, as long as they check the household registration will be exposed, so we have to find another way." ”

As soon as these words came out, both of them were speechless, the Japanese were careful, and after occupying Shanghai, the management of household registration was much greater than that of the original Chinese government, which greatly restricted the activities of the Chinese agents.

Wang Hanmin was extremely cautious, knowing that his foundation was still shallow, so he had never planned to enter downtown Shanghai for activities, and his good citizen certificates were all forged.

The situation of the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau is naturally different, they can easily get a real certificate of good citizenship with the connections and money in their hands, and they can also arrange new identities at will, and the gap between the two can be seen.

After Duan Tiecheng heard this, he couldn't help but become even more anxious, he knew that his identity and Wang Hanmin's identity was important, and if he fell into the hands of the enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He took a deep breath, looked at Wang Hanmin tightly with his eyes, and said again: "Then what should I do now?" Hermes-Epitek, then I have something to say bluntly, if we can't hide tomorrow, it's a big deal if the fish dies and the net is broken, but you and I must not fall into the hands of the enemy, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, what if we can't survive the torture? You also know the family rules of our Military Command Bureau, for the defectors and the mutineers who have caused heavy losses, their families will definitely be liquidated, you and I are both small families, we can't let them be buried with us! ”

Wang Hanmin looked at the fierceness in Duan Tiecheng's eyes, knowing that this was the other party warning him, he nodded and said with a reluctant smile: "Brother Tiecheng, please rest assured, although I am not talented, I still have the determination to kill myself, if I really go to that point, I will never let myself become a sinner of the country." ”

Duan Tiecheng nodded, he took out a pistol from his waist and looked at it, sighed and said: "I didn't expect this time to come to Shanghai to be so dangerous, but unfortunately I haven't left a word for my family, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back this time!" ”

Just when the two of them were secretly sad, Wei Xuehai suddenly pushed the door in, came to the front in a few steps, and said urgently: "Stationmaster, someone is knocking on the door, what should I do?"

"What?" Duan Tiecheng and Wang Han both jumped up at once.

Wang Hanmin asked suspiciously: "Could it be that the Japanese came to the door?" ”

Duan Tiecheng shook his head and said, "Shanghai is so big, if you want to search the whole city, it's not easy to say, it's impossible for the Japanese to move so fast!" Besides, it's impossible to find this place right away, so let's check it out! ”

The two of them walked out quickly, only to see that the action team members outside the door were hiding in the shadows, fully armed and nervously guarded.

They came to the gate, only to hear a knock on the door.

"Da-da, da-da-da!" The sound is not slow or urgent, slightly rhythmic!

Ordinary people knock on the door in a chaotic manner, and this rhythm is usually a need to convey some kind of message.

Wang Hanmin waved his hand to Wei Xuehai, and said softly: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, if the Japanese come to the door and everyone is ready, you can only fight to the death!" ”

Wei Xuehai leaned close to the door, listened to the movement outside, felt that it was quiet outside, and then asked softly, "Who is it?" ”

The person outside the door also said in a very low voice: "I want to find Boss Duan and Boss Wang to talk about business!" ”
