The New Year is getting closer and closer.

Although this land is suffering from the suffering caused by the war, the traditional festival of Spring Festival is the most important festival for every Chinese.

No matter how difficult it is, we must make it through the New Year.

Leave all the worrying things until later in the year.

Although Shanghai suffered from three months of war, the public concessions did not suffer much damage, and the flavor of the New Year is still very strong in this city.

Foreigners who have lived in China for many years are also willing to participate in this annual feast for the Chinese.

"Well, don't worry, I'm fine here. It's okay. Some of my colleagues in the unit are celebrating the New Year with me. I won't be able to make it for a while, and I'll ask my boss to find a solution as soon as possible. The phone bill is quite expensive, please help me kiss the children.

.See you."

Wu Jingyi hung up the phone.

The call between Shanghai and Hong Kong was opened in February 1937, a full year later than the call from Shanghai to Tokyo. Moreover, the telephone fee is extremely expensive. If it is not a particularly urgent matter, everyone would rather choose to contact us by telegraph.

of.

The husband lives in Hong Kong with his children. Until now, he still doesn’t know Wu Jingyi’s true identity.

Wu Jingyi's husband also had no idea that his wife, who was usually weak and devoted to taking care of the family, was actually a heroine who made the Japanese fearful and a great figure who commanded countless agents.

Under the mediation of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau of the Public Settlement, the Chinese and Japanese secret services temporarily stopped the bloody assassinations and counter-assassinations that lasted for three months.

The Shanghai Public Settlement has temporarily entered a period of peace.

But no one can tell how long this period of peace can last.

Perhaps an hour later, an accidental gunfire incident would quickly involve Shanghai into the war.

"Report."

"Come in."

Ye Rong walked in: "There are three new Japanese agents at Jing'an Temple's Laodongpu Pharmacy... There on Yuyuan Road, a group of our agents had a head-on conflict with Japanese agents while following them, and one person was slightly injured.

The patrol room took everyone away and interrogated them for an hour before releasing them... In addition, our surveillance agents near the Japanese consulate were ordered to change their posts..."

Seemingly bits and pieces of trivial matters constitute the entire struggle between the enemy and ourselves in the Shanghai Public Concession.

"Let our people exercise restraint as much as possible." Wu Jingyi said after listening to the report: "Also, get in touch with Zhou District Chief Secretary Cheng. Although the situation is relatively stable now, it has become more complicated..."

Perhaps influenced by Meng Shaoyuan, Wu Jingyi also attaches great importance to training new people. Shen Li, Ye Rong and other agents who were just transferred from Chongqing are Wu Jingyi's key training targets.

If she has free time, Wu Jingyi will find authentic old Shanghainese people, teach them pure Shanghainese, and tell them some of Shanghai's special living habits, customs and customs.

They will live here for a long time in the future. In this case, they must quickly integrate into this city.

Others are easy to handle, but more than half of these new agents are Chongqing natives. It is really difficult for those born and raised in Chongqing to learn Shanghainese.

But Wu Jingyi was almost harsh on this matter.

"I don't want you to stay in Shanghai. I want you to integrate with Shanghai. When you perform tasks, you will make others think that you grew up in Shanghai. Shen Li, your hometown accent is very Chong, when others hear it, they will know that you are from Chongqing. Where is Chongqing? In our rear area, your opponents will naturally be wary of you when they hear your accent, which will make your mission complicated. It’s extremely difficult.”

This is what Wu Jingyi said to these new agents.

These people all studied very hard, especially Shen Li, who was almost harsh on himself. He wrote down some difficult-to-learn Shanghainese words in his notebook with homophonic pronunciations. No matter whether it was day or night, he would learn them whenever he had free time. Take out your notebook and practice.

When he met local Shanghai spies, he would always pester them to learn how to speak.

The most talented among these people is Ye Rong. Without much effort, she learned the Shanghainese dialect in a decent way, and she also mastered the dress, accent, and lifestyle of Shanghai's fashionable women.

Talent is something that cannot be envied.

Some people work hard and are still not as good as they want, but some people are far ahead of their peers even though they are playing around and don't see how hard they work.

"The news came from the Yanzi detachment of our guerrilla force that Meng Shaoyuan has left Nanjing. Counting the time, if the journey goes well, he has entered Shanghai by now."

This is the contact title that Meng Shaoyuan thought of.

The Yanzi detachment is a guerrilla detachment commanded by Zhu Yanni.

Upon hearing this, Ye Rong immediately said: "The most difficult thing is how to enter the public concession through the Japanese-controlled area. Commander-in-Chief, do you want to send personnel to respond?"

"No need, no one is more familiar with Shanghai than the commander-in-chief." Wu Jingyi is not too worried about this: "What's more, we still have a large number of agents active in the Japanese-controlled area. Director Meng will find a way himself."

Ye Rong discovered that these old agents in the Shanghai Public Settlement all had a kind of heartfelt, almost blind trust in Director Meng.

From their point of view, there seems to be nothing that Director Meng cannot do.

It’s just that Wu Jingyi seems a little colder, right? Director Meng is their top commander after all. Now that the commander wants to reach the public concession from the Japanese-controlled area, there is still a lot of danger. Is she really not worried at all?

"Okay, let's go do something."

Wu Jingyi said expressionlessly.

As soon as Ye Rong left, Wu Jingyi signed her name on a file, and then picked up the phone: "Mr. Sollats, this is Wu Jingyi, please assign me a few patrolmen to arrange for them to be patrolled south of the public concession. At the entrance. Okay, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, he took out a pistol from the drawer and put it in his bag.

…

The black car was waiting there calmly.

Two hours have passed.

Wu Jingyi just sat in the car calmly.

According to the agreement between himself and Meng Shaoyuan, if he cannot return to Shanghai according to the normal route, he will enter the public concession from here.

Wu Jingyi will be personally responsible for handling the matter.

In the entire military command Shanghai latent zone, anyone can have trouble, except Meng Shaoyuan. No one knows this better than Wu Jingyi.

However, she couldn't show anything in front of her subordinates.

She wants everyone to know that one person's life is far less than the overall interests.

Several patrolmen were walking back and forth not far away, just in case.

There are still thirty minutes left.

If it doesn't appear after this point, it will have to be tomorrow.

Fixed place, fixed time.

There will be no exceptions.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Why haven't you come yet?

Could something happen?

At this time, Wu Jingyi looked calm and composed on the surface, but in fact she was more nervous than anyone else in her heart.

The patrolmen clicked their watches at this point, which meant that it was time to get off work.

Wu Jingyi rolled down the window and nodded.

The patrols left.

They will not take the initiative to work overtime.

It looks like it won't come today.

Just as Wu Jingyi was about to leave, a familiar voice suddenly came from the car window:
Chapter completed!
