Chapter 183: Zhang Cheng's Second Plan
"Not at home, just in the café; Not in the café, just on the way to the café. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" is a popular mantra on the streets of France, from which you can appreciate the French people's love for coffee.
French coffee culture has a long history, a cup of coffee with an afternoon of sunshine and time, this is a typical French coffee, the important thing is not the taste, but the kind of casual attitude and style.
French people drink coffee in particular about the environment and mood, reading, writing, talking, and killing time at the small coffee table on the side of the road. Coffee houses have often become centres of social activity, clubs for intellectual debate, and even a quintessential symbol of French society and culture.
The Chinese who had taken refuge in the concessions, especially those who worked for foreign companies, also tried to learn the French way of life and pastime, as if sitting at the white table in Henry's Cafe, holding basket-colored coffee cups in their hands, listening to melodious music, they could stay away from the Japanese artillery fire and forget the fear and troubles of the destruction of the country.
Unlike the small street shops in France, in a sense, being able to enter and exit Henry's Café frequently in the concession was a status symbol. There are even some depressed and reluctant people who walk into Henry's Café and drink a cup of bitter and unpalatable coffee, as if they have taken a flight to the land of France on the other side of the ocean, and deceive themselves into living in a distant daydream.
Zhang Cheng and Zhao Ziqing used Henry's Cafe as a joint location.
When Zhang Cheng approached Henry's Cafe, he found that a few streets away, there were many more seemingly idle Japanese ronins than usual, and continued to walk forward, pretending to be passers-by in plain clothes abounded.
When he reached the nearest intersection to the café, he found two familiar figures, lighting cigarettes at each other's corners. As he walked up to them, one of them inadvertently glanced at him.
"Yo, sir," the man greeted Zhang Cheng awkwardly, "such a coincidence?" ”
The other turned around and looked, and immediately Zhang Cheng nodded and laughed dryly: "Hehe, hello, hello." ”
The two of them were the Central Commanders who followed Zhu Jun on the mission that night, and now they are detectives, the thin and tall surnamed Wang, and the short and fat surnamed Li.
"Oh, it's you?" Zhang Cheng pretended to ask casually: "What, you are on a mission again?" ”
"Hey, hey, eat with a mouthful." The one surnamed Wang replied.
"By the way, I was in a hurry last time, and I don't know the names of the two honorific surnames?"
"My surname is Wang, and everyone calls me Skinny."
"My surname is Liu, and everyone in the team calls me Fat Dun."
"Well," Zhang Cheng patted them on the shoulder: "Brother, they are all out to mix rice, if you do it in moderation, don't do evil!" ”
"That's, that's." The two replied in unison.
Zhang Cheng smiled at them, turned and walked towards Henry's Cafe.
Song Hu received Zhang Cheng's telegram and took the special combat team into Shanghai in batches. According to the address given by Zhang Cheng, Song Hu and the special combat team members quickly found the three houses that Zhu Ping had bought in Shanghai. Looking at the empty house, Song Hu smiled and hid on the spot according to Zhang Cheng's instructions.
A day later, the special combat personnel who had infiltrated Shanghai in batches converged. After the convergence, Song Hu said straight to the point: "Let's take a little rest today!" Tomorrow we will split up to familiarize ourselves with the terrain of Shanghai, and two days later we will start the mission! Hearing Song Hu's words, Jiang Bin asked seriously: "Captain! We're all focused on Lend-Lease right now! I don't think it's safe! After all, there are too many of us! It's easy to get noticed! ”
Hearing Jiang Bin's words, Song Hu nodded and said, "I've already considered this!" So I have an immature idea! Saying that, Song Hu looked at the other three battalion commanders and said, "We can launch a surprise attack on Shanghai, Hangzhou, Wuxi, and Nanjing at the same time, what do you think!" ”
Jiang Bin thought for a while and said, "Captain! In fact, as long as we are divided into two groups, one group of people will attack Wuxi, and the other group will attack Shanghai, so that the little devils will not be able to figure out our whereabouts! Hearing Jiang Bin's words, Song Hu thought for a while and said, "No matter what, let the military seat decide!" ”
More than ten minutes later, Zhang Cheng received a telegram from Song Hu. After reading the contents of the telegram, Zhang Cheng frowned and thought about it, and just when he wanted Zhao Ziqing to call back, Zhu Jun walked in. Seeing the sudden arrival of Zhu Jun, Zhang Cheng frowned slightly and asked, "Stationmaster Zhu, why are you here!" ”
Zhu Jun smiled and said, "Commander, you also know what I do!" I'm not going to play any dumb riddles! I'll tell you the truth! I'm asking your brother to help! Hearing Zhu Jun's words, Zhang Cheng suddenly became confused, looked at Zhu Jun with a puzzled face and asked, "Stationmaster Zhu, if I have anything to help you, you just have to speak!" ”
Zhu Jun smiled, took out a telegram from his jacket pocket, handed it to Zhang Cheng and said, "Jun Sit, you will understand after reading this telegram!" Zhang Cheng took the telegram, looked at it seriously and said, "Stationmaster Zhu, I will definitely help with this favor!" Whether you want to live or die, you just say it! ”
Zhu Jun said with a smile: "Refreshing! This operation can be done live or dead! Hearing Zhu Jun's words, Zhang Cheng nodded and handed the telegram to Zhao Ziqing and said, "Forward this telegram to the special combat team immediately!" Tell them I want to see the heads of all the people of the Japanese Imperial Family Condolence Group! ”
"Yes!" Saying that, Zhao Ziqing turned around and left. After Zhao Ziqing left, Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "Stationmaster Zhu, I want to personally interrogate that Japanese spy in a few days, do you think it's okay!" Zhu Jun said with a smile: "This little thing, there is no problem!" Just let me know when you want to go! Saying that, Zhu Jun looked at his watch and said, "Okay, Jun sit brother, I won't bother you!" I'll take my leave! After speaking, Zhu Jun walked out of Zhang Cheng's temporary headquarters.
Back in his car, Zhu Jun said lightly to Wang Shouzi: "You immediately inform our people in Shanghai that they are not needed for this operation!" Let them continue to lurk! Hearing Zhu Jun's words, Wang Slender nodded and said, "I understand!" Do it right away! After speaking, Wang Slender got out of the car.
More than ten minutes later, Song Hu received a telegram from Zhang Cheng. After reading the telegram, Song Hu smiled and said, "Okay! This time we don't have to separate, there is a new battle order from the military seat! In addition to the assassination mission and the shelling of the Japanese headquarters, let's solve the Japanese Imperial Family condolence group that came to China this time! After speaking, Song Hu gave the telegram to the four battalion commanders.
After the four of them circulated it to each other, Liu Liang frowned and said, "Captain! We don't know when this delegation of the Japanese royal family will arrive, how to deal with them! Song Hu smiled and said, "I've already thought of this!" I guess there will be other arrangements for the military seat at that time! ”
Xu Wei, who had been silent on the side, said: "The Japanese imperial family condolence group is nothing more than a boat and a plane!" But according to the number of people in the Japanese Imperial Family condolence group, I tend to favor the little devils to come by boat! We can get the brothers to get into the warehouse near the docks! Wouldn't it be nice to set up temporary observation points there! ”
When Song Hu heard Xu Wei's words, he thought about it and nodded, "The matter of establishing an observation point will be handed over to your three battalions!" Saying that, Song Hu said to Jiang Bin: "You are the most thoughtful among us, what opinions can you put forward!" Jiang Bin thought for a while and said, "There are no other opinions!" When is it time to do it to the Japanese army headquarters and the target of the Japanese assassination! ”
