Xie Jinyuan's figure does not look very strong, and is even a bit thin, but whether he is sitting or standing, Xie Jinyuan's figure looks very tall and straight. Before entering Gujun Camp, Tang Cheng had not really seen Xie Jinyuan. The Xie Jinyuan he saw was only a photo, but at this moment, he saw Xie Jinyuan in person. "Sir Xie, thank you for meeting me. I am the person who carried out the rescue operation, codenamed Ghost." Even when meeting Xie Jinyuan, Tang Cheng disguised himself and did not tell his real name.

Xie Jinyuan turned to look at Tan Wensong who came with him in confusion. He had heard from his wife that Tang Cheng was a young man, but the person standing in front of him now was an adult with dark skin. Tan Wensong glanced at Tang Cheng and then explained to Xie Jinyuan in a low voice. "Sir Xie, I'm very sorry. I don't doubt you and your men. There are Japanese plainclothes spies among the people going in and out of the isolated camp. In order to ensure that the plan can be implemented smoothly and succeed, necessary preventive measures are indispensable. , including my true identity and life." Tang Cheng said sorry, but looking at his expression, it seemed that this was a matter of course.

Xie Jinyuan had obviously never seen someone acting as strangely as Tang Cheng. He was slightly stunned, then shook his head at Tang Cheng and laughed. "Lao Xie, you are a good fighter, but when it comes to the means of causing chaos in the Japanese war zone, you are no match for him." Tan Wensong had already informed Xie Jin about Tangcheng's night attack on Xinya Hotel Yuan, and Xie Jinyuan also saw the news of his opinion in the concession newspaper. This is what Tan Wensong is talking about at the moment.

"Sir Xie, time is limited, so let's keep the story short." Among the condolences coming in and out of the lone army camp were plainclothes spies. Naturally, Tang Cheng couldn't stay with Xie Jinyuan for a long time, so he chose to get straight to the point. "What I told Mr. Tan before is not the whole plan. Now I want to know your clear attitude, Mr. Xie. If you object to this plan, I will leave here immediately. I will not mention this plan again, so as not to expose the matter and make it more complicated." Multiple people.”

At this point, Tang Cheng paused and grinned when he saw Xie Jinyuan's thoughtful expression. "In other words, Commander Xie, if you want to know the full contents of the plan, you must agree with it. Only by unifying the opinions and attitudes of the two of us can this plan be successfully implemented." Tang Cheng's words made Yi Yi act. As a spectator, Tan Wensong suppressed his laughter and said to himself that Xie Jinyuan, a stubborn man, had met his nemesis.

Xie Jinyuan's stubbornness comes from his bones, and his long military career has made him as hard-hearted as iron. Even the brutal battle at Sihang Warehouse that day could not make him lose his mind. But now facing Tang Cheng, he could neither hit nor scold him. Even though he had the rank of lieutenant colonel, Tang Cheng was not a soldier, and the rules in the army did not apply to Tang Cheng. After looking at Tang Cheng silently for a while, Xie Jinyuan suppressed the anger in his heart and could only nod wordlessly to express his attitude.

Through the previous repeated lobbying and testing by Tan Wensong and Mrs. Xie, Tangcheng had concluded that Xie Jinyuan was interested. The reason why he had not expressed his position was because he was worried that the failure of the operation would lead to the failure of the lonely army camp and unnecessary casualties. He was even more willing to lay down his weapons in exchange for the safe withdrawal of his soldiers into the concession. This showed that Xie Jinyuan really valued his soldiers. For such a commander, Tang Cheng felt that lobbying might not be effective.

So after he met Xie Jinyuan today and had a brief exchange with Xie Jinyuan, he immediately chose to use the method of forcing Xie Jinyuan to express his attitude. Now it seems that this method is quite effective. "Since you have agreed to my suggestion, Sir Xie, let's talk about my plan first. The camp of the Gujun Camp is guarded by the White Russian regiment members of the All Nations Merchant Group. These White Russian regiment members are not considered real soldiers. They can only They are considered mercenaries who work for money."

"There is no need to use any strategy or means to deal with them. I have already prepared the smoke. I just need to wait for the wind to pick up and light the smoke at the upwind position. I will ensure that none of these White Russian soldiers can escape. In the entire rescue plan , the most difficult thing is how to send all three hundred of you out of Shanghai. As long as there is a problem with one person, the entire rescue plan may be exposed." Tang Cheng took out his cigarettes as he spoke, and like many people who came to the Gujun Camp to express condolences, He took the initiative to light a cigarette for Xie Jinyuan.

"I came to Shanghai last year and met a few foreigners in the concession. Although the relationship between us is just a relationship of interest, I can only choose to trust them now. According to my plan, after the Gujun Camp leaves Jiaozhou Park, it will be surrounded by my With the help of foreign friends, we left the concession as soon as possible. There will be American merchant ships waiting at the pier. No matter how tyrannical the Japanese army is, they will not dare to rashly search the American merchant ships on the pier."

"In other words, as long as you get on the ship, you will be completely safe. In the next few days, I still need to figure out the checkpoints in the concession. Only by clearing the checkpoints, you will not appear when you leave the concession. Trouble." Although Tang Cheng said it was simple, Tan Wensong and Xie Jinyuan understood that Tang Cheng must have gone through unimaginable difficulties to be able to contact so much help.

"Mr. Tan asked me before why I didn't ask people from the Shanghai Station of the Intelligence Department to help me with this plan. Now, I need to explain it to you two. First, the Shanghai Station has too much to take care of itself. Since I came to Shanghai, From the first day on, the newspapers have been publishing news about the Japanese army's siege of Shanghai Station. Contacting Shanghai Station at this time to participate in the operation will only attract great attention from the Japanese, but will put the rescue plan in trouble."

"Second, most of the participants in my rescue plan are foreigners living in Shanghai. I don't know the capabilities of the Shanghai Station, but I have long heard of the Shanghai Station's ability to drill camps. The rescue plan should have started quietly and ended quietly. If the identity of those foreigners was known to the Shanghai Station, I am worried that this matter will be revealed by the Japanese afterwards and used to discredit the people* *And Lonely Camp.”

"The third reason is my personal reason. I am not from the Intelligence Department. I came to Shanghai only because of the entrustment of my elders and the inspiration of righteousness. Whether it was before or after the operation, I did not want to get into trouble with the Intelligence Department because of this matter. Together, and the foreigners who agreed to help are only my personal relationships." After Tang Cheng said the three reasons, Xie Jinyuan and Tan Wensong looked at each other secretly, they did not expect that there were so many things they didn't know. The inside story.

"It is not a simple matter for more than 300 people to leave the concession!" Although Xie Jinyuan has made his attitude clear, he is still a little worried in his heart. If there were only a few dozen people in the Gujun camp, Xie Jinyuan might have already agreed to Tangcheng's plan, but now there are more than 300 living people in the Gujun camp. Xie Jinyuan is worried that because of his attitude, these lucky survivors will be killed. The soldiers who came down once again faced the test of life and death.

"Indeed, sending more than 300 people out of the concession is a troublesome matter, but I have already made preliminary assumptions and preparations. Sir Xie, what your lone camp needs to do now is to conduct some necessary training as much as possible, and finally It is good to allow everyone to recover their physical fitness and fighting spirit as soon as possible before the plan is implemented. If your physical fitness is insufficient, even if you are rescued from here, you may not be able to support yourself enough to evacuate to a safe place."

"From today onwards, I will arrange for more condolences groups to visit Gujun Camp. I hope that Commander Xie will not refuse the condolences they send, because these things are sent to help you recover. Especially They are the foreign doctors who came with the condolence group. These people were specially recruited from the concession through some friends. The injured soldiers under your command can only recover as soon as possible through professional treatment."

The three people in Tangcheng were talking in low voices. A second lieutenant officer not far from the three people suddenly raised his right hand towards Xie Jinyuan. "There's a situation!" Xie Jinyuan, who had been paying attention to the surroundings, his expression changed and he immediately issued a warning. Someone planned to rescue the lone army and leave Shanghai. Xie Jinyuan only told a few of his trusted officers in private. When Tan Wensong brought Tang Cheng to meet with him, Xie Jinyuan placed manned guards around him. At this moment The second lieutenant officer who gave the signal was one of the guard posts.

"Look, this is an unstable factor and the main reason why I didn't inform all the plans in advance." Tang Cheng took out a notebook and a pen from his pocket as he spoke. "I was prepared before I came. Even if someone sees us talking together, the things in this notebook are enough to explain." Tang Cheng's identity at the moment is the assistant to Huang Han, the vice president of the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce. It is recorded in the notebook This is a summary of the condolences.

The Guangdong Chamber of Commerce came to Gujun Camp several times to offer condolences. According to Tang Cheng's arrangement, Huang Han would always arrange for someone to show the total list of condolences to Xie Jinyuan for review. Even if someone saw Tang Cheng talking to Xie Jinyuan at this moment, as long as there was that In this catalog of condolences, no one peeping in secret would ever think there is anything wrong with it. "It's really yours!" Knowing that Tang Cheng had made preparations in advance, Tan Wensong felt relieved and secretly gave Tang Cheng a thumbs up.

"Of all the failed operations in the world, the main reason for most of the failures is due to early leakage of secrets. The main reason for leaking secrets is not only the existence of traitors, but also the omission of details." Tang Cheng grinned and looked at It was as if he was deliberately explaining to Xie Jinyuan and Tan Wensong, but actually when he was talking, he was paying attention to the suspicious people around him from the corner of his eye.
