"When are you going to leave again?" She asked.
"Don't worry about my safety, although I am not afraid of life and death, but I have more important missions on my shoulders, and after all, I can't serve the country on the battlefield for a long time. Today, the entire Battle of Songhu will enter a period of large-scale operations, which will become a war of millions of troops, and I can't do anything else. Han Lin said with a smile.
"You wait, I'll buy you breakfast." Lu Manyin said.

Han Lin stood on the porch of the living room and looked at the sky, overcast, windy and rainy, this is because of the coming typhoon, and today, the heroes of the Jinling government air force will drive the war eagle and attack the Japanese army first.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, the 35th Independent Flying Group of the Jinling Government Air Force at Jianqiao Airport, five American-made biplane twin-engine Curtiss BT-32 bombers, flew to the Gongda Yarn Mill where the Japanese Marine Corps was stationed in Shanghai, and dropped bombs and hit the armory.

"Do you have an inside line in the secret service in Shanghai?" Boss Dai was amazed.
"That's right, you also know that she is the female spy of the prison robbery, codenamed Red Rose, and she is the secretary of the secret service in Shanghai." Han Lin said.
"Great, you must be very cautious when connecting, and you must protect her safety, which can play a very important role in the future. In addition, her activity funds and intelligence rewards can be given more, but the expenses of our two places are stretched, and I can't come up with much money, so I can only rely on you! Boss Dai said a little embarrassed.
