With the withdrawal of the troops guarding the Sixing warehouse into the concession, the Battle of Songhu, which lasted for three months, came to an end. The National Revolutionary Army fought very tenaciously in this battle, but it still could not hide the outcome of a total rout.

In the face of the Japanese army's pursuit, the Nationalist Government, which retreated to Nanjing, also began to pay attention to the defense of Nanjing. For Hu Biao and other people left behind in Shanghai, no one cares about it after a long time.

For Hu Biao, who is staying in the hospital at the moment, accepting the promotion order sent by the military is more about a legal identity. If he wants to go to war next, this status is very necessary.

Without this identity, Hu Biao was also worried that when he was fighting behind enemy lines, he did not die in the hands of the little devils, but let his own people shoot black guns. With this promotion order and his military exploits, Hu Biao is also well-known in the National Revolutionary Army.

Fame is a double-edged sword, and if it is used well, it can also bring a lot of convenience to Hu Biao. On the other hand, this kind of fame will also make the little devil hate it even more, and find a way to solve the so-called anti-Japanese hero like Hu Biao.

Hu Biao, who successfully escaped being imprisoned, has not slept well outside in the past few days. On the first night of being admitted to the rear hospital, Hu Biao rarely slept peacefully. In a short period of time, at least don't worry about the little devil calling.

Although the time for the visit was set, after Hu Biao got up the next day, he said hello to Xu Sandao and prepared to leave. Knowing that Hu Biao was leaving, Xu Sandao was a little curious: "Then will you come back at night?" ”

"It depends on the situation! Staying in the hospital was panicked, and I wanted to go out for a walk. Whatever you want to eat, I'll bring you some when I get back! ”

"Get some cigarettes and alcohol, eat sick meals every day, and your mouth fades out of a bird."

"You can bring two packs of cigarettes, but drink less alcohol. You're still recuperating from your injuries, and it's not good to drink! ”

Smiled and replied to Xu Sandao, holding a new identity document, Hu Biao changed into a common person's clothes, and left the hospital gate under the watchful eye of the sentry. For Hu Biao, he still needs to stay in the concession during this time.

With the full withdrawal of the Nationalist Army, the Japanese army, which had completed the actual occupation of Shanghai, also began to take over the security of Shanghai. Perhaps the only thing that was not controlled by the Japanese was the public concession controlled by the coalition forces.

In a short period of time, the public concession controlled by Britain and the United States and other countries was relatively safe. At least Hu Biao knew that the military commanders and other intelligence agencies under Lao Jiang must have set up intelligence stations on the concession side to probe the Japanese army's military intelligence in Shanghai.

Correspondingly, the Japanese army also set up intelligence stations in the public concession to probe the military intelligence of the national army and collect intelligence information useful to the Japanese army. All in all, if Shanghai wants to really be peaceful, I'm afraid that there is no possibility.

Hu Biao, who walked on the street, always felt that it was difficult to integrate into this era. Many times, he looks at the people and things around him with the mentality of a tourist. This sense of loss through travel made Hu Biao also feel a kind of loneliness from the heart.

"Although I am used to loneliness, this loneliness seems to be deeper than in my previous life!"

Whether he was a mercenary in his previous life or a commercial spy later, Hu Biao rarely trusts others for safety. But in any case, Hu Biao at that time could blend in well with the crowd, but he tried to make himself appear less conspicuous.

But for Hu Biao at this moment, standing on the street, he always felt that he was a little out of place with the crowd around him. This feeling of incompatibility must be solved in Hu Biao's opinion, otherwise there will be problems sooner or later.

"I'm in a bad mood and need to vent! Just right, look for a chance to do a ticket in the evening. I'm about to leave, and it's necessary to get some money and supplies. Hopefully tonight's goal won't disappoint me too much! ”

Hu Biao, who muttered a few words, quickly blended into the flow of people on the street. In the evening, Hu Biao appeared near a trading house with a plaster flag. This firm is the target of Hu Biao's action tonight.

A few days ago, outside the lonely army camp, the little devil who was killed by Hu Biao was hiding in this trading house. From the outside, this trading house was engaged in the business of grain, rice, oil and cloth, but in fact it was an intelligence station set up by the Special High Division in the concession.

Although the little devils have fully occupied Shanghai at present, on the side of the public concession, Britain and the United States and other countries also control a lot of territory. In this public concession, there have always been many imp expatriates and businessmen living there.

The nail that finally got in, how could the little devil give up so easily? As long as they can't produce conclusive evidence, Britain and the United States, which are responsible for the security and defense of the concession, will not be able to expel these little devil trading companies that have been set up in the concession early in the morning!

Hu Biao, who had been here twice before, knew that there were three little devils in this firm. In addition, in order to look more like a trading house, this trading house, like other trading houses, hired local associates.

Most of the employees of the trading houses are responsible for carrying or selling goods. Large-scale trading, as well as financial management, are naturally in the hands of the little devils of the trading house. But in Hu Biao's opinion, the three Japanese employees should all be intelligence agents.

The boss and lady of the business house should be husband and wife informants. But for Hu Biao, since he decided to do it tonight, the three little devils of this business house will all become the ghosts of the knife.

What Hu Biao has to do is to try not to alarm the patrol team in the concession in the process of doing it. Perhaps knowing that the concession has not been peaceful recently, Britain and the United States and other countries have also sent additional patrol forces to ensure the security and stability of the concession.

Of course, this kind of patrol force is also limited to areas where there are many activities of foreigners in the concession. As for the slums in the concession, these patrolmen naturally don't care. This also leads to the fact that most of the nights in the places where the poor live are not peaceful.

As night fell, the originally lively commercial streets gradually quieted down. Although the electricity supply here in the concession is good, there are actually not many people who dare to go out and wander around at night.

The real bustling street at night is naturally the Shili Yangchang in the concession, where there are many casinos and nightclubs. People who have money in their pockets and a little power are also willing to go there to buy drunk. On this side of the commercial street, naturally no one does business at night.

From the moment the flow of people on the street began to decrease, Hu Biao hid on the roof of a building next to the firm. Most of the buildings on this side of the shopping street are two- or three-story brick houses, with shops in the front and warehouses in the back.

If you live in the house, most of them live on the second floor. The building where Hu Biao is hiding is a three-story building. Because most of the buildings in this neighborhood have eaves and vertical walls, so even Hu Biao, who hides on the roof, is not worried about being discovered.

As there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets, major commercial houses are also closing. Compared with some foreign firms, most of them hire compradors to force their business for them. In some foreign firms, merchants and employees live in the store.

And the trading house that Hu Biao planned to attack tonight, except for the three little devils, the rest of the local employees did not live in the store. The intent of this is understandable, as having other employees living in the store increases the likelihood of the station being exposed.

Hu Biao, who was hiding on the roof, always looked at the little devil firm that was only separated by a wall. Looking at the owner of the business house, who was also closed, he was staying in the kitchen in the backyard of the business house at the moment, dining with the other two members.

Although he couldn't hear what the three of them were talking about, Hu Biao could still feel that the boss and the proprietress of this business house didn't seem to be as affectionate as they seemed during the day. Not long after he sat down to eat, the boss got up and left to go back to the second floor of his residence.

"It's hard to get together. If you are separated, you will have more chances! This damn weather, if it continues to blow, I guess it may really freeze later. Grab some clothes and keep warm! ”

Considering that now is far from the time to do it, Hu Biao took out a cotton coat from his personal space that he had robbed in Shili Yangchang before. After covering it, continue to stare at the merchant house not far away.

To Hu Biao's surprise, as the boss hurriedly finished the meal, the proprietress who stayed in the kitchen and the little devil who was in charge of the finances of the business house seemed to drink a little wine affectionately. In a short time, the proprietress had already reached the lap of Mr. Ledger.

Seeing this scene, Hu Biao couldn't help but vomit: "Damn, these two guys, they won't stage a hand-to-hand fight in the restaurant!" If that's the case, wouldn't Lao Tzu have to have a needle's eye? ”

Fortunately, the two seem to be quite restrained, although the two have begun to warm up in the restaurant, but in the end, the hand-to-hand combat does not seem to be placed in the restaurant. After a full meal, the proprietress followed the bookkeeper to the room where the bookkeeper lived.

After the door was closed, Hu Biao, who was lying on a high place, could see clearly through the light what the two were doing and what they would do next. On the other hand, looking at the boss's room on the second floor, Hu Biao didn't see it very clearly.

"Fake husband and wife? This boss is quite decrepit, he cuckolds every day, and he is unhappy! Looking at this situation, this boss lady should not be simple, and she is the person in charge of this intelligence station. ”

It is clear that the little devil is very particular about the relationship between respect and inferiority, and if the boss is the person in charge of the intelligence station, he will definitely not tolerate his subordinates doing this. This also means that the person in charge of this intelligence station is either the female boss or the bookkeeper who is in charge of finances!
