The entire Broadway Building is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. It feels like facing a formidable enemy.
This incident happened so suddenly that no one was mentally prepared. Therefore, Wang Husheng had to prepare for the worst. After all, no one knew how much the Japanese knew. They only knew that Xu Rui was from the patrol camp.
Where is the commander? Or does Liang Wuyi and Xu Rui also know about it?
If the Japanese only knew that Xu Rui was the patrol battalion commander, that would be okay.
If the Japanese knew about both Liang Wuyi and Xu Rui, they would be in big trouble!
Therefore, Broadway must prepare in advance and be ready to go to war with the Japs at any time!
From the outside, there was nothing unusual about the Broadway Building. So we did what we were supposed to do. In the evening, the Third Brigade of Special Agents even sent a squadron to ambush the patrol battalion on Xiafei Road. There was a melee between the two sides, and the patrol battalion dropped ten people.
Several corpses were hurriedly withdrawn to the west area of the concession, and more than a dozen of the Third Brigade of Special Agents died.
But on the core floor of the Broadway Building, tensions were already rising.
Wang Husheng was so anxious that he became an ant on the hot pot and was pacing back and forth in the office.
At this time, Wang Husheng really complained about Xu Rui. As the commander, he was not at home at this time! The key point is that he, the political commissar, is not a military cadre at all, and he cannot hold up the scene!
After walking back and forth for a long time, Wang Husheng stopped again, turned around and asked Liu Mei: "Yi Zi, there is no news about Lao Xu?"
"Not yet." Although this is the fifth time Wang Husheng has asked this question, Liu Mei is not impatient at all. On the one hand, it is because she loves Wang Husheng deeply, and on the other hand, because she can deeply feel that this time
At this moment, Wang Husheng was feeling anxious. Because Xu Rui was not here, the lives and fortunes of more than 10,000 officers and soldiers in the patrol camp and Broadway Building, as well as the future and destiny of the entire Songhu Military Division, all depended on him. Could he not be nervous or anxious?
?
At this time, Liu Mei could not help Wang Husheng, she could only encourage him.
At that moment, Liu Mei came forward, gently held Wang Husheng's hand, and said softly: "Husheng, you can do it."
With Liu Mei's support, Wang Husheng calmed down a little, but at this moment, Wu Han hurriedly walked in.
Seeing Wu Han walking in, Wang Husheng immediately perked up and asked, "Xiao Wu, is there any news about Lao Xu?"
"No, there is no news from the commander." Wu Han shook his head and then said solemnly, "But the transportation station in Nanjing just sent back a strange telegram, just two words!"
"A telegram with two words?" Wang Hu said with a change of expression, "What two words?"
"Warning!" Wu Han handed over the telegram copy paper in his hand and said, "Just these two words."
"Warning?" Wang Husheng's face immediately darkened, and a very bad premonition flashed through his mind.
The two words "warning" obviously cannot be the complete content. There should be other content behind the warning. This can only explain one thing. The Nanjing traffic station stopped sending the complete telegram before it could be sent out.
Report, and there is probably only one reason why Nanjing Traffic Station stopped sending reports.
That is, the Nanjing Traffic Station has been destroyed by the Japanese!
Thinking of this, Wang Husheng's heart immediately tightened.
The Nanjing Transportation Station has been exposed and damaged. Does this mean that Lao Xu has also been exposed? He just sent an urgent telegram to the Nanjing Transportation Station, asking them to send someone to contact Lao Xu. Now the Nanjing Transportation Station
Has been destroyed, does it also mean that Lao Xu has been exposed?
At this moment, Wang Husheng felt like his intestines were about to turn green.
If I had known this, I shouldn't have asked Nanjing Traffic Station to send someone to contact Lao Xu. It's all my fault that I couldn't calm down!
What's worse is that this transportation station in Nanjing was responsible for the one-way communication with the shadow. They knew that our party had a spy who had infiltrated the high-level Japanese army. Will this lead to the shadow being exposed? Although the shadow was directly connected to the
The several traffic officers I contacted have all gone to Dameishan, but they still know many secrets.
As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. Because of caring, countless possibilities flashed through Wang Husheng's mind.
Wang Husheng even had a premonition that the Ninth Division in Shanghai had opened a huge net, and that the net was slowly falling over their heads.
Wang Husheng had a further premonition that a war was imminent.
At that moment, Wang Husheng ordered: "Xiao Wu, you immediately send out ten reconnaissance teams. Send reliable people to all the streets around the Broadway Building and monitor them closely. Once you find a large group of Japanese approaching, you will immediately fire warning shots and fire warning shots."
Yes, immediately send someone to deliver the message to the patrol battalion so that they can prepare for the response."
"Yes!" Wu Han also realized that the situation was serious, agreed, and left in a hurry.
As soon as Wu Han walked away with his front legs, Jiang Nan came back with his hind legs and was running out of breath.
Before Jiangnan could take a breath, Wang Husheng immediately asked, "Jiangnan, is there any news about the military commander?"
It turned out that Jiangnan was looking for information from acquaintances of the military commander. Although there may not be any news from the military commander, Wang Husheng was also a dead horse. What if he found valuable news?
However, Jiang Nan shook his head and said: "After Wang Tianmu took office, he purged a large number of Li Hongsong's subordinates. I didn't find any acquaintances when I went out this time. The contact person who contacted me on a single line also didn't know anything about it. I didn't understand anything at all. But
I did find out some other information from him."
Jiang Nan is the trump card of Li Hongsong, the former district chief of the military-tong Shanghai District. He has always been in single-line contact with Li Hongsong, so the whole Shanghai knows that Li Hongsong has a prickly black rose, but does not know the specific details of this black rose.
Who is it? After Li Hongsong was transferred back to Chongqing, he did not transfer Jiangnan to Wang Tianmu. Instead, he sent another informant to contact Jiangnan.
The world only knows that there are many hills within the National Army, but they don’t know that there are also many hills within the military command. The mountain owners of each hill want to keep their capable officers in their own hands and will not hand them over to others. Because of this, until now, the military commander
No one knows that Jiang Nan is beside Xu Rui and has a close relationship with Xu Rui.
Otherwise, the military commander would have given Jiangnan an order to assassinate Xu Rui.
As for Sai Hongfu, the Zhongtong side also had the idea of letting her assassinate Xu Rui. After all, the matter between Xu Rui and Sai Hongfu was not a secret. Even Sai Hongfu's pregnancy was not discussed by the Zhongtong side.
It was clear, but the second son of the Chen family sent informants to Damei Mountain several times to contact Sai Hongfu, but they failed to contact him.
Sai Hongfu was even more ruthless than Jiangnan and immediately cut off contact with Zhongtong.
"Other news?" Wang Husheng frowned and asked, "What news?"
Jiang Nan replied: "The military hurricane team has suspended all assassination operations against high-level officials of Wang's puppet government. It seems that there have been some big moves recently, but I don't know the specific details."
"Is the military commander going to make a big move?" Wang Husheng said solemnly, "Isn't it also aimed at us?"
"Probably not." When Liu Mei heard this, he quickly comforted, "On other fronts, the National Army may make some small moves behind the scenes, but on the secret front, especially in Greater Shanghai, regardless of whether the military commander or the central commander, we have nothing to do with them.
The underground party has a tacit understanding, and there has never been any friction, and this time will definitely be no exception."
This is also true. In the vast occupied areas of Shanghai, Nanjing, Tianjin, and Peking, the secret fronts of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the three parties have always cooperated closely. This is also because they have the Japanese Special High School and the Wang Puppet No. 76.
Although we are powerful enemies, the two parties and the three parties have always cooperated closely. This is a fact.
Therefore, Liu Mei does not think that the military command will do anything detrimental to the Shanghai underground party of the Communist Party of China.
"Then let's ignore this for now." Wang Husheng frowned and said, "Let's try to contact Lao Xu first."
Wang Husheng is now more worried about Xu Rui's safety than anything else. He also knows that Xu Rui is highly skilled and it would be even harder for the Japs and No. 76 agents to control him. However, without knowing Xu Rui's safety,
Before the news, Wang Husheng's heart was always in doubt. He had to contact Xu Rui before he could feel relieved.
After a pause, Wang Husheng turned to Jiangnan and said: "Jiangnan, you immediately send a telegram to the military headquarters and ask the head of the military department to immediately send traffic personnel to Nanjing to find Lao Xu. No matter what, we must find Lao Xu! Also,
No matter what, tell him that he must not show up, must not show up..."
Before he finished speaking, a correspondent suddenly walked in in a hurry.
"Political commissar!" the correspondent gasped, "Commander, urgent call!"
"Old Xu? Give me the telegram quickly!" Wang Husheng didn't doubt it, because Xu Rui carried a radio in the trunk of his Mercedes-Benz, which was reserved for emergency contact at critical moments. It was precisely because of this
, Wang Husheng was even more worried, because Xu Rui had not contacted his family for such a long time, and the possibility of something happening was even greater.
At that moment, Wang Husheng hurried over and took the telegram from the correspondent's hand.
Jiang Nan cared more about Xu Rui than Wang Husheng. Before Wang Husheng finished reading, he asked: "Political Commissar, what did Ah Rui say?"
"Lao Xu asked us not to rush." Wang Husheng sent out a telegram and said, "Don't make any provocative moves, especially don't take military action against the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai easily. We'll wait until he comes back."
"Political Commissar, is he injured?" Jiang Nan asked again. She was worried about Xu Rui's safety.
"Lao Xu didn't say anything in the telegram." Wang Husheng shook his head and added, "However, since he didn't say anything, it should be fine. It seems that the incident at the Nanjing Traffic Station was just an isolated incident, and Lao Xu was not affected." There was a pause.
Next, Wang Husheng said again, "As for Shadow, we must remind him that he should try not to contact us in the near future."
