Although Ma Ye, who was entrusted with the important task next to Tang Cheng, was from the Jianghu, and there were many operational experts from the Jianghu in the military command, neither Tang Cheng nor the bureau chief was very interested in Jianghu people. However, the Chongqing underground party organization has a completely opposite attitude towards Jianghu people. Those Jianghu people who are not hostile to the underground party are the people with whom the Chongqing underground party organization can unite and develop. The underground party members who appeared on the dock at this moment were able to sneak into the dock so quickly with the help of the Jianghu forces on the dock.
Tang Cheng accidentally discovered that people from the underground party appeared on the pier, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his mind. However, he did not reveal the identities of these underground party members, but secretly observed the activities of these underground party members. The underground party members who were mixed in the dock seemed to be on their own, but what Tang Cheng secretly observed was that these underground party members seemed to be observing the situation on the dock. They even pretended to be laborers and carried out inspections on the ships on the dock. Investigation.
What is this scenario? Tang Cheng became even more confused. He originally thought that the underground party was taking action on the dock, but he began to realize that something was wrong. Fortunately, the whole day passed without any incident on the pier, and the underground party members who were mixed in on the pier did not make any attention-grabbing actions. At the agreed time, Tang Cheng went to the backyard of Buzhuang that night and successfully obtained the information that Huang Ping had prepared long ago. The underground party organizations in Wuhan have taken active actions. Although they still haven't heard more detailed information, they also know something about the secret Japanese army.
Among the information that Tang Cheng received tonight, there were messages obtained from the Wuhan underground party organization. After Tang Cheng carefully looked through the information, he immediately set fire to the information and burned it. According to the summary of the underground party organization in the information, the number of this Japanese secret force loaned by Wuhan Special High School from outside the customs was about 30 people, and they had quietly left Wuhan two days ago without knowing their whereabouts. Tang Cheng, who had read the information, sneered secretly at this moment, thinking that where else could this secret Japanese army go? Isn't it just coming to Chongqing?
Although Wuhan is not close to Chongqing, two days is enough for them to travel south to Chongqing by water. I set up a net around the dock, but there was no sign of the other party. Could it be that this secret Japanese army suddenly changed its route south? Another question arose in Tang Cheng's mind. This was what he was most worried about. Once the other party temporarily changed the way and route of travel, all the arrangements he had made in the early stage would be in vain.
Early the next morning, Tang Cheng appeared on the pier as usual, but today, Tang Cheng's expression was a little more vigilant and determined. "Notify everyone, cheer up. I have a hunch that our opponent may appear in the next two days." In the private room of the tea house, in front of Zhang Jianghe, Zhao Dashan, who was summoned by Tangcheng, Others were reminded face to face by Tang Cheng for the last time. "According to the list sent by Brother Pao at the dock, for all the ships that I have marked, our people do not need to come close to investigate. Our people only need to pay attention to the newly docked ships."
Tang Cheng did not say it clearly. He also asked Brother Pao for help and placed people on the dock to help. Among the ships that were separately marked by Tang Cheng in the list, there were ships belonging to Brother Pao's power in the city. Zhao Dashan and others, who had been reminded by Tang Cheng, then broke into pieces and left through the back door of the teahouse, blending into the crowd at the dock again. Zhang Jianghe, who had been silent all this time, finally put down the teacup in his hand and looked up at Tang Cheng, who was looking thoughtful.
From the moment Zhang Jianghe entered Tangcheng and saw it, he noticed that something was wrong with Tangcheng today. They were the only two left at this moment, so Zhang Jianghe spoke. "If you feel that there are not enough manpower, I can call and ask the bureau to lend some manpower to help." Zhang Jianghe's words were not to test Tang Cheng, but sincerely wanted to help. Although he knew that Tang Cheng didn't want to get involved too much with the military commander, Zhang Jianghe, who had roughly guessed the reason, couldn't bear it when looking at Tang Cheng's current state.
When Tang Cheng heard this, he shook his head gently and rejected Zhang Jianghe's good intentions of asking for help from the military commander. "Just ask the military commander for help! The Shanghai Station has never sent back more detailed information. Perhaps even the bureau itself does not know whether this Japanese secret force really exists. Neither did the prisoners we handed over to the Second Division before. If we ask for help from the bureau now, we may not be able to succeed in confessing the relevant content. If they really come, relying on others may not necessarily give them an advantage."
Tang Cheng's words made Zhang Jianghe dumbfounded. At this moment, he didn't know that Tang Cheng actually kept even his uncle in the dark. It seems that Tangcheng has concentrated almost all the search team's manpower at the dock. In fact, the dock is not the focus of Tangcheng's defense. Ever since Tang Cheng obtained the relevant intelligence information, Tang Cheng had been considering the other party's way of infiltrating into Chongqing. To this end, he had also taken the initiative to visit several Pao Ge bosses who were engaged in the smuggling business.
Through secret discussions with these big bosses who were engaged in the smuggling business, Tang Cheng realized that the best way to enter and leave Chongqing was not to take the waterway from the dock. At the beginning, Tang Cheng didn't know if the bureau chief was entrusting this matter to him to continue testing himself or to take a test. Therefore, he did not hesitate to interrupt all the current surveillance operations of the search team, thereby concentrating all the search team's manpower to control the dock. However, as time passed and intelligence provided by Chongqing's underground party organization emerged, Tangcheng began to adjust its defensive deployment.
Zhang Jianghe didn't know that Tangcheng had deployed all the search team's manpower here at the dock, firstly to confuse the military commander, and secondly to guard against possible oversights. The apprentices left by Mr. Ma in the small street and the 12-person arrest team of the search team have already been arranged in other places by Tang Cheng. In other words, Tang Cheng played a trick of attacking in the east and attacking in the west. Even Zhang Jiang and were kept in the dark by him. That's why Tang Cheng rejected Zhang Jianghe's proposal, not to mention that he had the secret help of Brother Pao's forces in the city.
Using the people left by Mr. Ma was already Tang Cheng's last resort, because compared to veteran policemen like Zhao Dashan, Tang Cheng believed in his own people more. Another day passed, and there was still no movement on the dock. He watched the two plainclothes agents from the military command headquarters leaving from a distance. Tang Cheng, who was standing in front of the window of the teahouse private room, had a sneer on his face. Just when he turned around and was about to leave the private room. , there was a sudden knock on the door, and it was Tangcheng's familiar knocking code. The people who knocked on the door of the private room at this time were definitely not members of the search team, because they did not know the rhythm code for knocking on the door.
The person knocking on the door at this moment was Heizi who had changed his name to Tang Mo. Heizi, who had followed Mr. Ma to travel to the Yunnan-Myanmar border for more than a year, was no longer the thin young boy he was before. Heizi was over 1.7 meters tall and had a bright face. He already has a more stable and sturdy look. "Brother, the situation is exactly as you guessed before!" Heizi opened the door and came in. He greeted Tang Cheng with a smile, then pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Tang Cheng.
"An hour ago, someone came ashore at the ferry. There was also news from Jiangbei, saying that a group of strangers appeared at the Li family in Jiangbei." Heizi took the initiative to ask Ying to help Tangcheng this time. The news he brought , which made Tang Cheng, who was originally not in a good mood, very happy. Now that the opponent has revealed his whereabouts, the next thing will be easier to handle. After a brief discussion with Heizi, Tang Cheng left from the back door of the teahouse and immediately returned to the military.
Tang Cheng kept Zhang Jianghe secret and used Ma Ye's apprentice. Now that the enemy's location and whereabouts had been basically determined, Tang Cheng wanted to explain the situation to Zhang Jianghe first, lest Zhang Jianghe would be angry with him if he found out later. When Tang Cheng returned to the military camp, Zhang Jianghe was still in the office as expected. However, when Tang Cheng knocked on the door and entered Zhang Jianghe's office, Zhang Jiang and his adjutant and secretary were all in the office. Tang Cheng had known for a long time that Zhang Jianghe's adjutants and secretaries were all members of the underground party, so he was not surprised.
However, Tang Cheng immediately changed his decision. He decided to continue to hide Zhang Jianghe's information because he did not want Zhang Jianghe to be involved in this matter. It was normal for Zhang Jianghe to still be in the office at this time, but it was somewhat unusual for him to have an adjutant and secretary in his office, at least in Tang Cheng's eyes. Tang Cheng pretended not to care that there were other people here, and just lay down lazily on the sofa familiarly, then took out cigarettes, lit one for himself and started smoking.
Tang Cheng's behavior at this moment only made Zhang Jianghe frown slightly, but he did not rebuke Tang Cheng. With Tang Cheng present, Zhang Jianghe could not continue discussing secret matters with his adjutants and secretaries, so he could only use his eyes to hint them to leave first. After watching Zhang Jianghe's adjutant and secretary leave, Tang Cheng, who was lying on the sofa, slowly sat upright under Zhang Jianghe's white eyes.
Zhang Jianghe also went to the dock today. Naturally, he knew that the search team still found nothing today. But seeing Tang Cheng's lazy look now, Zhang Jianghe couldn't help but get angry. Fortunately, Tang Cheng had realized that Zhang Jianghe wanted to teach him a lesson, so he explained his purpose of coming first, "Uncle, can you call the bureau chief and ask if there is any new news coming back from Shanghai Station? We are all staring at the dock. It’s been quite a while, but I haven’t even seen a single Japanese hair, so everyone can’t stand it any longer!”
Tang Cheng's excuse was just right, and it was also the reason why Zhang Jianghe couldn't make a decision. After being slightly stunned, Zhang Jianghe could only pick up the phone on the table. Zhang Jianghe dialed the number of the military command headquarters, but unfortunately, the bureau chief was no longer in the headquarters office at this time, and the bureau secretary who answered the phone did not explain the bureau chief's whereabouts. Zhang Jianghe put down the phone and spread his hands towards Tang Cheng, expressing that he was helpless, but Tang Cheng was suppressing a smile in his heart for fear that Zhang Jianghe would see the flaw.
