For a whole day, Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin did not take the initiative to contact Meng Shaoyuan.

And the eight Japanese prisoners didn't seem to have anything unusual.

Meng Shaoyuan was not in a hurry.

When the bait is put down, the fish always have to test it.

The longer the time, the more likely it is to catch a big fish.

Moreover, I also need time to prepare here.

Guo Chan is also constantly creating opportunities for Meng Shaoyuan.

Meng Shaoyuan raised his head and looked at the sky.

My wives should have flown out of Wuhan.

I hope they can arrive in Chongqing safely.

"Report."

Even though he was a prisoner, Second Lieutenant Xiaolin still had great military discipline. He suddenly stood up.

"explain!"

"I feel uncomfortable in my stomach and I want to see a doctor." Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin suddenly made such a request in blunt Chinese.

"Sir, let me take him there." Meng Shaoyuan knew that this was the signal sent to him by Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin.

"Well, go ahead and remember to put handcuffs on him."

"clear."

Meng Shaoyuan put handcuffs on Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin, then pushed him: "Quickly leave!"

"idiot!"

Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin also cursed in a decent manner...

…

"Rukawa-kun, are you really willing to help me?" When no one came out, Second Lieutenant Xiaolin stopped and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin, I don't want to stay in this place any longer." Meng Shaoyuan looked like he wanted to take out his heart and show him whether it was red or black.

"In my pocket, there is a note."

Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin looked around: "Take it out."

Seeing Meng Shaoyuan take out the note, Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin looked a little nervous: "Send this note to Benli Trading Company on Pinghe Street immediately. The code is 'The price of rice seems to have dropped a bit'. You must be quick. Otherwise, I'm afraid,

It’s too late.”

Meng Shaoyuan knew why the other party was so eager.

Pinghe Street is located in the Japanese Concession of Hankou.

This is the base camp for drug trafficking in Central China. There are all kinds of drugs such as opium, red pills, and white noodles. The Japanese ronin relied on the shelter of the concession to sell drugs, guns, and run rampant.

Therefore, a popular saying in Hankou at that time was "Go to the Japanese Concession." Here, "Going to the Eastern Concession" does not mean going to the Japanese Concession, but it means doing bad things.

On July 7, 1937, the Anti-Japanese War broke out in an all-round way, and the overseas Chinese in the Japanese Concession in Hankou began to evacuate back to China for fear of being affected.

On June 3, 1938, Wu Guozhen, the mayor of Hankou City, reported to He Chengjun, a senior official of Hubei Province, to take back the Japanese concession, but put forward different suggestions on whether to set up a special zone like the previous German, Russian and British concessions.

The establishment of special zones is a transitional method because the concessions returned by various countries are not in the same system as local governments and are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the National Government.

In the past, the concession areas of Germany, Russia, and the United Kingdom were renamed Special Area 1, Special Area 2, and Special Area 3.

Now that the Japanese Consulate and overseas Chinese have evacuated the Japanese concession area, there are no diplomatic concerns in handling it. Consideration can be given to setting up a police station to be directly managed by the Hankou Municipal Government.

There are currently very few Japanese expatriates in the Japanese Concession, but the Nationalist Government did not immediately send police in considering that it would trigger a chain reaction in foreign concessions, so there are still some sporadic Japanese expats in the Japanese Concession.

In addition, in order to gain international support, the Nationalist Government also made it clear that as long as these Japanese overseas Chinese wanted to, they could leave Wuhan safely.

Second Lieutenant Kobayashi wanted to send this information to Benli Trading Company so urgently because he was also worried that Benli Trading Company might be empty.

"Don't worry, Second Lieutenant Xiaolin." Meng Shaoyuan made his "serious" promise: "I will definitely deliver it safely."

…

"Benli Trading Company?" Wan Guocai said as soon as he heard this: "I know that this trading company has a very good relationship with the French and has a lot of business dealings. After the war broke out, most of them evacuated, and only two or three people remained inside.

In the past two days, I have also submitted an application to leave Wuhan. What do you think, do you want to send someone to arrest him?"

"No need." Meng Shaoyuan shook his head: "This should be planned by Gao An. Since he dares to do this, he is not afraid that we will catch people from Benli Trading Company."

"What does the intelligence say?"

"I didn't look at it." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Did you see the way the paper was folded? It was done with some manipulation. If I opened it quietly and looked at it, the other party might find out."

Since you want to act, you must perform the full set of the most realistic scenes...

…

The once prosperous Japanese Concession was now in a state of depression.

When Meng Shaoyuan walked into this trading company and said, "The price of rice seems to have dropped a little," the Japanese who received him immediately closed the door:

"Who sent you?"

"have no idea."

Faced with such an answer, a trace of satisfaction flashed across the Japanese's face.

"This is what they asked me to forward to you."

The Japanese received the information.

He did not open it immediately, but examined it carefully.

Sure enough, some manipulation was done.

After confirming that it was correct, the Japanese opened the intelligence, read it for a while, and their expression changed slightly: "Tomorrow night, they will bomb Wuhan, a night attack? The general direction of the bombing, and ask who is coming..."

He looked at Meng Shaoyuan.

"Carry out bombing centered on Liuzhong Road."

"Okay, it's a good thing you're here now. If you're a step too late, I'll be ready to destroy the phone and retreat." The Japanese quickly replied: "The intelligence also requires you to prepare a truck tomorrow night and take advantage of the bombing.

It’s a chaotic time to kill the China Sentinels. Will it be more difficult for you alone? But I don’t have any helpers around me now.”

"Leave it all to me."

Meng Shaoyuan said resolutely: "I will definitely complete the task successfully."

"Then please, I will send a telegram now. This is the last telegram I will send in Wuhan."

…

Gao An's plan is very clear.

Let the Japanese army carry out night raids and bombings on Wuhan, and take advantage of the chaos to use "Rukawa Kaede" to find ways to escape.

"Gao An is amazing." Meng Shaoyuan lit a cigarette: "One of his telegrams was able to mobilize the Japanese Air Force? I think his old boss Honma Masaharu must be eager to rescue him, right?

"

"The more this happens, the more we need to find this person as soon as possible." Wan Guocai said: "I have prepared trucks and submachine guns for you, all of which are blank ammunition. When the time comes, the soldiers at the door will cooperate with you."

"Okay, it's time for Gao An to show up on his own initiative!"

A smile flashed across Meng Shaoyuan's lips...

…

The whole day was calm and calm.

When Meng Shaoyuan saw Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin, he quietly nodded to him.

Everything is ready...

…

Night has shrouded Wuhan.

A sharp air raid siren suddenly pierced the city's night.

Night attack!

The Japanese actually started to attack at night.

The sound of violent bombing suddenly sounded.

Sounds of bombings were heard continuously near the yard where Japanese prisoners were detained.

Everyone is in chaos.

There were even a few sentries who left on their own initiative...

…

"Your Excellency Gao An, it's begun!" Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin was a little excited.

"Has it started yet?" Gao An's lips showed a hint of a cold smile: "Then, let's let the show take place."

…

"boom"!

The door was kicked open, and "Rukawa Kaede" carrying a submachine gun appeared: "Second Lieutenant Xiaolin, let's go, everything has been solved, let's go!"

"Ah, Rukawa-kun, thank you for your hard work!"

The eight Japanese left the house where they were detained in an orderly manner.

Outside, lying the "bodies" of two Chinese soldiers...

…

A truck is ready outside.

"Get in the car quickly!" Meng Shaoyuan greeted loudly.

"You drive." Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin said: "Yihe Street, Liberty Trading Co., hurry!"

"Yihe Street, Liberty Trading Co., got it!"

Meng Shaoyuan replied loudly.

…

Explosions kept ringing around.

Driving around and around, trying to avoid the bombardment.

Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin was sitting next to Meng Shaoyuan.

"How far is it?"

He kept asking urgently.

"Hurry, it's just ahead."

After driving for a few more minutes, the truck suddenly stopped: "We're here!"

"Boom...boom!"

Two violent explosions sounded nearby, and then flames rose.

"Get off the car, get off the car!"

Meng Shaoyuan greeted loudly.

Seven Japanese people jumped out of the car behind...

…

Meng Shaoyuan and eight Japanese rushed into Libao Trading Company and knocked on the door hard.

A middle-aged man opened the door. When he saw these people, he didn't panic at all: "Your Excellency Gao'an?"

One of the eight Japanese was startled, and then said: "It's me."

"Come in quickly, General Honma's order has arrived."

The middle-aged man immediately took them in and closed the door.

The eight Japanese who were temporarily safe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Excellency Gao An, we don't have time to say more."

The middle-aged man took out two pistols, handed one to Takagishi and the other to Second Lieutenant Kobayashi: "General Honma ordered us to rescue you at all costs. We don't have many weapons, so use them for self-defense.

"

"Thank you very much." Gao An took the gun: "Has the retreat route been arranged?"

"Everything is arranged." The middle-aged man took out the map: "Look, we are preparing to evacuate from here..."

"Ah, you can arrange all these."

Takaan doesn't seem to care about this: "Rukawa Kaede."

"I am here."

"Rukawa-kun, thank you very much for your efforts."

"Thank you, Your Excellency Gao An, it is my honor to be able to work for you."

"There is one more small question." Gao An smiled: "Rukawa-kun, although I don't know your real name, do you think I really don't know that you are a Chinese agent?"

Meng Shaoyuan's whole body froze there.

Gao An raised his gun as if nothing had happened and pointed it at Meng Shaoyuan: "I don't want to know who you are. I'm not interested. Do you think you can deceive me like this? I'm just using you to get away."

"Listen to me..." Meng Shaoyuan said in a panic.

"No need to say more. I think I will miss you occasionally in the future."
