July 8, the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China.
The first day of the sixth lunar month.
In the far north, many people did not realize what it meant when gunshots were fired at Marco Polo Bridge in Wanping County.
The ordinary citizens who are busy making a living do not know or pay attention to it.
Of course, it’s not that there is no concern at all. When neighbors were chatting, someone occasionally mentioned that there was another war in the north.
Then we are concerned about whether the prices of vegetables, rice, flour and oil will be affected.
The first people to react to the sound of gunfire at Marco Polo Bridge were students.
Although it was only the morning, students began to gather. They held high the banners they had just made and shouted anti-Japanese slogans.
"Down with Japanese imperialism!"
"Drive out the Japanese invaders!"
"Support the 29th Army in the war of resistance!"
Cheng Qianfan stood on the side of the road, watching the students marching past him while shouting slogans.
He looked calm, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
Suddenly, he saw Tang Xiaoye in the crowd.
"This is a handsome-looking patrolman with long legs as strong as a sprinter. He rushed up and grabbed classmate Tang and asked her loudly..."
A female student who participated in this demonstration wrote this in her diary later.
…
"Why are you fooling around?" Cheng Qianfan grabbed Tang Xiaoye's arm and asked.
Tang Xiaoye was startled when he was suddenly caught. Then he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was his brother, and then he was scolded.
"Everyone has a responsibility to resist Japan and save the nation." Tang Xiaoye said angrily, "Let go."
"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Two male students came over.
"Go away!" Cheng Qianfan glared at the male student and let go of Tang Xiaoye's arm, "Go home quickly! Don't follow this nonsense!"
"Officer, I don't agree with your statement. How could we be fooling around?" A female student next to Tang Xiaoye was filled with indignation. "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. The Japanese invaders occupied the Northeast and Rehe. Now, they are going to attack Pingjin again. If we don’t resist, we will only be slaves to the subjugation of our country in the future.”
"Students, the most important thing is to study." Cheng Qianfan frowned and said.
"Is the most important thing for patrolling to be to listen to foreign adults?" The female student bared her teeth and choked.
Cheng Qianfan glanced at her. She was a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old, with short ear-length hair. She was not very beautiful, but she was very energetic. She showed her little tiger teeth, which should have been very cute. At this moment, she was biting her teeth angrily. Ya wanted to express his anger, but it didn't have much deterrence.
"I'm not as knowledgeable as you." Cheng Qianfan turned to look at Tang Xiaoye and sighed, "I know you won't listen to what I'm saying now. Go home early. If anything happens, tell me your name."
After saying that, he left directly.
I couldn't hear the comments behind me, so they probably weren't good words.
"Xiao Ye, who is that person?" a classmate asked.
"I don't know him." Tang Xiaoye shook his head and said, 'my brother' on his lips, and finally turned into these three words.
…
Cheng Qianfan was extremely anxious.
As an agent, especially an agent who broke into Japan, he knew better than most people what it meant to open the station in North China.
The appetite of the Japanese army will never be satisfied in Wanping County.
This is most likely a signal of war for the Japanese army to plot against Tianjin.
However, this is just his inference and he needs information to confirm it.
In the patrol room, the patrol officers did not seem to be affected by the gunfire from the north.
If you like playing cards, continue to play cards 'sneakly'.
Qin Di, who was very enthusiastic about his work, caught a guy touching a woman's butt on the street, and was beaten up by a policeman who had lost money to vent his anger on him.
Cheng Qianfan hummed a tune and came looking for Pete with a happy face.
"Is there anything that deserves you to be so happy?" Peter asked, yawning with tape on his eyebrows.
This was the second lieutenant who secretly had a tryst with Armand's wife and was severely beaten by the French businessman.
After returning home, Peter explained to his pregnant wife Linda that he was the one who bravely caught the thief and was injured in the line of duty.
"You don't know?" Cheng Qianfan stretched out his finger and gently poked the tape at the corner of Pete's eyebrows, his eyes filled with joy, "Shots are going off in the north, and the war is about to begin."
"We have hoarded so many goods during this period, and we are going to make a fortune this time."
Peter looked at Cheng Qianfan, whose eyes were shining, and shook his head, "Qianfan, sometimes I really find it difficult to see through you."
"What do you mean?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"You are a good person, a kind person, and a person who treats his friends very well." Pete said, "But when it comes to national affairs, your attitude makes me, well, makes me uncomfortable."
As he spoke, he shrugged, "Now your country is being invaded, but you are happy to get rich."
"What has this country given me?" Cheng Qianfan asked with a sneer, "My parents bled and sacrificed for this country. As for me, I have no parents and am forced to live in a nursing home with no one to care about or ask questions."
As he spoke, he stood on tiptoe slightly and put his right hand on Peter's shoulder, "My friend, I can see that you are very sad for my country, so you should take less of the dividend this time."
"Get out! You bastard! That's my money, why should you take less of it?" Pete said angrily.
"Look, you are just like me." Cheng Qianfan took a puff of cigarette and exhaled a stream of white mist, "Both like money."
"We're different," Pete said, shaking his head.
"Damn it, it's different." Cheng Qianfan threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with the toes of his riding boots. "I'll go out in a minute. Someone is interested in our batch of goods."
Watching Cheng Qianfan leave, Peter lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and threw the cigarette on the ground.
"asshole!"
His cigarettes were secretly replaced by Cheng Qianfan at some point.
…
He changed into plain clothes and left the patrol room.
Cheng Qianfan called a rickshaw.
As if overnight, college students, middle school students, and even high school students all appeared in Shanghai.
They gave speeches and shouted slogans in the streets.
Distribute flyers.
"Resist Japan and save the country!"
"Compatriots, Beijing and Tianjin are in danger! North China is in danger! The Chinese nation is in danger!"
one student yelled, thrusting the flyer into his hands.
Cheng Qianfan picked up the flyer and looked at it, only to see it read:
"Compatriots all over China, Beijing and Tianjin are in danger! North China is in danger! The Chinese nation is in danger! Only the whole nation's resistance war is our way out!"
Hongkou District, the secret base of the Shanghai Special Higher Education Institution.
Cheng Qianfan met Sanbenjiro.
He asked excitedly, "Section Chief, is the empire taking action in North China?"
"Yes, the shameless Chinese army secretly captured an imperial soldier, and the First Regiment of the Imperial Riverside Brigade was forced to fight back in Wanping County." Sanbonjiro said.
"Damn Chinese people, they are provoking the Japanese Empire!" Cheng Qianfan was filled with indignation, "Section Chief, in the small town of Wanping County, the empire is at your fingertips."
"Wanping County?" Sanbonjiro shook his head, with a look of pride on his face, "Have you ever seen a tiger open its mouth just to eat a person's finger?"
