After contacting Yang Yongjie through Boss Yu and meeting Huang Han through Yang Yongjie, Tang Cheng informed the two of them of the preliminary preparations for the rescue plan after confirming their patriotism. In the next two days, while Tang Cheng learned about the movements of the Japanese army and THT in Shanghai through Hans, he began to recruit foreign doctors. The Zodiac Society had lost most of its manpower, and Ttech, which had always wanted to extend its tentacles into the concession, had to use the power of the Qing Gang to enter the concession to search for clues related to the attack on the New Asia Hotel.
But after all, the Green Gang is just a gang force. Even if there are Japanese plainclothes agents among them to guide them, the execution and action capabilities of the gang still fail to meet the requirements of the Shanghai High-Tech Shanghai Headquarters. Under this situation, Tangcheng started recruiting foreign doctors. Boss Yu was naturally very worried when he learned about this. "Xiao Tang, you'd better be careful. The Japanese are obviously very impatient now. The gangsters who can be seen everywhere on the streets are at least the work of the Japanese."
"Uncle, don't worry! Although the gangsters are the work of the Japanese, I think there are more anti-Japanese people in the concession." In the warehouse of the tea house, Tang Cheng, who had changed his clothes, was looking at the mirror and chin Stick a beard on it. Even if someone familiar with Tang Cheng's current appearance saw it, it would be impossible to recognize him immediately. If he put on a hat and glasses, he would look like an adult in his twenties or seventies.
"The condolence group has made arrangements, and the doctor's affairs must be expedited, otherwise the plan will be out of sync." Tang Cheng, who had put on his beard, turned to look at Boss Yu, "The condolence group must go there once within this week. In Gujun Camp, Commander Xie's character is good at being a model of a soldier who strictly abides by military orders. But in bad terms, he is stubborn and doesn't know how to adapt. Before all plans are launched, I must lobby Commander Xie through Huang Han first. If Gujunying doesn't cooperate, my This rescue plan has no chance of success."
How could Boss Yu not know what Tang Cheng said, but he himself had never met Xie Jinyuan. Boss Yu also obtained his understanding of Xie Jinyuan through the Intelligence Department. "It's better to be safe. That's what the headquarters meant too!" When Boss Yu said the word "safe", his eyes were obviously wandering. Tang Cheng's idea of rescuing the Gujun Camp had already been sent to the Intelligence Department via the radio. Headquarters, but he still has not received a reply from the Intelligence Division headquarters.
The change in Boss Yu's expression did not escape Tang Cheng's eyes, "Uncle, at this time, perhaps we can only rely on our own strength!" Tang Cheng paused for a moment, and after a few breaths of pause, Tang Cheng continued. . "I have received news that the Japanese army is preparing to besiege Nanjing next. The Japanese side means to defend Nanjing, but the news I have received is that the military may voluntarily abandon Nanjing when the war is unfavorable. Therefore, the Intelligence Department is The headquarters in Nanjing may already be on the way to evacuate Nanjing at this time."
Tangcheng, who knew the direction of history in his heart, suddenly found that he could do nothing and could not explain to Boss Yu the consequences of the fall of Nanjing. "Abandon Nanjing?" Boss Yu was completely shocked by Tang Cheng's words. Nanjing is the capital of the Kuomintang and the political center of the country. "No, the Communist Party will never abandon Nanjing. The troops that retreated from Shanghai have all gathered in Nanjing..."
Boss Yu shook his head hard, but before he finished speaking, he couldn't continue. The casualties and losses suffered by the Chinese army in the Shanghai War were far beyond what the Communist Party had predicted before the war began. How could Boss Yu, a member of the Intelligence Department, not know this? The Chinese soldiers did not lack the courage and bloodiness to fight the Japanese soldiers to the end, but the disadvantages in weapons and equipment could not be made up for by courage and bloodiness alone. With the outcome of the Shanghai War ahead, Boss Yu could not help but secretly infer the outcome of the Nanjing War, but found that it was not very ideal.
The disappointment in Boss Yu's heart was already reflected on his face. Tang Cheng took two steps forward and reached out to help Boss Yu sit down on the box behind him. "Uncle Yu, China is very big. Although it is still very weak, as long as we do not give up resistance and continue to actively fight, Japan's attempt to occupy China will not become a reality. One of my elders often said that professional people will When it comes to professional work, facing the enemy head-on is not our strength, but when it comes to our ability to lurk in enemy-occupied areas, we are not weaker than the Japanese."
"Kill one is enough, kill two and earn one. Although it is very satisfying, it is a reckless way of doing things. People like us can't always think about earning one. What we want to earn should be one hundred A thousand or even more Japanese lives. My coming to Shanghai this time is not just to assassinate a few traitors. I want to inflict fear and blows that penetrate into the bones of the Japanese when they are most proud. , let them know that the Chinese people will never bow their heads."
"According to the current comparison of military strength, the National Army clearly has the advantage, but you and I both know that the National Army troops assembled in Nanjing are mixed, and it is impossible for the Japanese army to be comprehensive, and the Japanese army will also select the weak troops of the National Army to carry out attacks. Nanjing's city defense is not as impregnable as the Ministry of National Defense said before. It is only a matter of time before it falls. However, those of us lurking in Shanghai must not relax. Because when the Japanese army in Shanghai is celebrating and getting carried away, it is our last chance to rescue the lone army camp. Good timing.”
In order to encourage Boss Yu not to lose hope, Tang Cheng revealed for the first time the time when he would rescue the Lone Army Camp, but all this would depend on the reaction of the Japanese army in Shanghai before making a decision. With Tang Cheng's comfort, Boss Yu's mood gradually calmed down, but the loss in his heart could not be completely dissipated. "I will continue to get in touch with the headquarters. Even if the headquarters does not agree with this action, I will do my best to help you implement this plan."
Tang Cheng had no way to change the direction of history, but he was willing to use his own abilities to help those who were willing to resist Japan. The Lone Army Camp imprisoned in Jiaozhou Park was one of these people. After leaving Boss Yu's teahouse, Tang Cheng, wearing a hat and a coat, immediately rushed to a foreign clinic in the French Concession. The owner of this clinic is a friend of Hans and a member of Hans' intelligence network. Tang Cheng came here to recruit foreign doctors in the concession.
"Tommy, I really want to thank you this time." Tang Cheng, who works overtime as a patient, watched the entire recruitment process in this clinic. No matter what the purpose of the foreigners who came to the clinic today, Tang Cheng was sure Many of these foreigners are indeed qualified as doctors. Tommy, who was sitting drinking coffee with Tang Cheng at the moment, was the attending doctor of this clinic. But his willingness to help was not Hans's order, but the four gold bars that Tang Cheng took out.
Tang Cheng was quite satisfied with today's recruitment, and reached out to push the gold bar on the table to Tommy's hand, "Tommy, as we agreed before, as long as everyone comes tomorrow, one gold bar per person will be considered as advance payment. In the future, as long as they go to the lonely army camp and treat the wounded soldiers there, I will pay a certain amount of remuneration." As he spoke, Tang Cheng took out another cloth bag from his pocket, opened it, and met Tommy's sight. What was in the middle were more than a dozen yellow gold bars.
Unlike Hans, Tommy is a typical money-lover. In his words, as long as his employer gives him enough money, he is willing to serve the devil. Tangcheng is not a devil, but Tangcheng can spend enough money, so Tommy has a good attitude towards Tangcheng. "Don't worry, I can definitely do this to your satisfaction!" Tommy, with a glint in his eyes, took away the cloth bag filled with gold bars. Although these gold bars did not belong to him, they did not This did not prevent Tommy from carefully touching the gold bars in the cloth bag at close range.
Tommy's greed for money did not prevent Tang Cheng from leaving the recruitment of doctors to the other party. Moreover, through the contact between their palms just now, Tang Cheng had determined that Tommy was acting like this on purpose. As for why Tommy pretended to be careless about money, Tang Cheng did not show any interest. After all, Tommy was Hans's man. Tang Cheng knew that at this time, he must not follow Hans clashed.
There were only a dozen foreign doctors who received the invitation and came to Tommy Clinic. A dozen doctors faced a lone camp of more than 300 people. This number of doctors was obviously not enough. However, Tangcheng did not accept Tommy's suggestion and further expanded its recruitment of doctors. "Tommy, thank you for your reminder, but the Lone Army Camp in Shanghai is too sensitive. There are more doctors going there, which may not be a good thing."
Tang Cheng's explanation made Tommy stunned for a moment, and then he cursed in a low voice, "Damn British guys! When the Lone Army Battalion retreated into the concession, they didn't say they would be imprisoned afterwards! They are all heroes and do not deserve to be punished. Such treatment! If this incident had happened in the United States, that damn British major might have been imprisoned in a military prison long ago, because his behavior tarnished the title of hero!"
Whether now or in the era when Tang Cheng came, Americans have always flaunted their concept of freedom. However, Tang Cheng did not expect that Tommy would curse in front of him, forcing the lone army camp to hand over its weapons before withdrawing. A major of the British army entering the concession. "Yes, that British major is indeed very hateful. If he had said that he would imprison the Solitary Army Camp after handing over his weapons. I think that the soldiers of the Solitary Army Battalion at that time would rather die in the Sixing Warehouse than withdraw. Concession." Tang Cheng echoed.
The performance of the Gujun Battalion at the Sihang Warehouse was seen by all the foreigners in the concession. Even though the Kuomintang finally lost the battle in Shanghai, the Gujun Battalion was already regarded as a hero by many foreigners in the concession. If this were not the case, there would not be so many foreign faces frequently appearing among the groups that went to the Gujun Camp to offer condolences.
