In Xiao Dianrong's mind, Lu Chengzhou had a sense of justice and was very patriotic.
Lu Chengzhou has always been the one he strives for, and he even proposed to the organization that he should win Lu Chengzhou to join the party.
However, when he learned that Lu Chengzhou was actually cooperating with Chen Deming to sell Japanese goods, he was really stunned.
When Cheng Ruian heard about this, he became furious.
At that time, he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to work with Lu Chengzhou.
When it comes to buying and selling Japanese goods, ordinary merchants are nothing more than profiteers.
However, Lu Chengzhou was also involved in smuggling Japanese goods, and the nature was different.
This is typical traitorous behavior!
"You are the one who got the bullets fired by the Japanese today." Cheng Ruian stood up and glared angrily.
The man next to him also stood up and looked at Lu Chengzhou warily.
When he saw this person just now, Lu Chengzhou couldn't figure out why he wanted to bring someone he didn't know. Now he realized that Cheng Ruien had found a helper.
"This is Captain Liu Yongcai of the 38th Division." Xiao Dianrong introduced.
"Captain Liu, I have long admired you." Lu Chengzhou clasped his fists.
Regarding Liu Yongcai, he only heard his name but did not recognize him.
While in Yangcun, Lu Chengzhou only dealt with Chen Deming and Li Wanliang.
Liu Yongcai glanced at Lu Chengzhou contemptuously and snorted coldly.
He is an upright soldier with patriotic sentiments. He serves as the security captain in Yangcun and never lets his subordinates take advantage of businessmen.
However, even so, two moths still appeared.
No, it should be said that he is a traitor!
Chen Deming has admitted that he not only did business with Lu Chengzhou and smuggled Japanese goods, but also accepted bribes from the Japanese and provided intelligence about the Yangcun Security Brigade to the Japanese secret service.
Fortunately, Chen Deming, Li Wanliang and others were discovered before the war. Otherwise, if they suddenly rebelled during the battle, the entire army would be ruined in their hands.
Therefore, Liu Yongcai was particularly grateful to the military commanders who provided intelligence to the 38th Division.
As a member of the army, he is actually very resistant to military agents.
However, the intelligence provided by the military commander before the war created extremely favorable conditions for the 38th Division's counterattack.
Although the military commander did not participate in the battle, this information was enough for a regiment.
"Chen Deming and Li Wanliang were both shot for betraying their country and seeking glory. Officer Lu, I hope you will carefully consider where to go from here." Xiao Dianrong said very disappointed.
He saw neither regret nor fear in Lu Chengzhou's eyes.
The plainness in Lu Chengzhou's eyes made Xiao Dianrong feel deeply sorry for him.
When the police wanted to arrest him, Lu Chengzhou reported it in time.
Now, Lu Chengzhou has fallen into the eyes of money, and he is afraid that he will not reach out to rescue him again.
"When I did business with Chen Deming, I was just looking for profit and did not involve betraying the country. In addition, these Japanese goods were taxed in the British Concession and were legal goods in the British Concession. Therefore, I did not break the law. Besides, even if
If you break the law, you shouldn't be the one to pursue it." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
"I'm so unrepentant!" Cheng Ruien clenched his fists tighter and tighter, wishing he could beat Lu Chengzhou severely.
He originally hoped that Lu Chengzhou would turn around.
However, Lu Chengzhou's words showed no regret at all, which made him extremely heartbroken.
Seeing that his childhood friend, who was closer than a real brother, has now become such a stranger, he feels more sad than anyone else.
"China and Japan have gone to war, and all Chinese people should unite and contribute to the fight against Japan." Xiao Dianrong said.
"I have done my duty by maintaining the security of the British Concession and allowing you to settle here. Of course, if you need me to do anything, as long as it is within my ability, it will be no problem." Lu Chengzhou said eloquently.
From the bottom of his heart, he especially envied Xiao Dianrong, Cheng Ruien and others.
They are patriotic and can say it out loud.
They resisted the Japanese, they could take direct action, and they could also rush to the position and fight the Japanese in person.
However, Lu Chengzhou couldn't do it.
His mission is to lurk in the Japanese secret service and obtain Japanese secrets.
Once the Japanese know that he is actually a resister, not only will his mission fail, but he himself will not survive.
"Let's go." Xiao Dianrong sighed.
Lu Chengzhou's tone was very firm. Although Lu Chengzhou agreed, it might be to help with some things, but it was just perfunctory.
"I think Lu Chengzhou is a traitor!" Cheng Ruien said bitterly after going out.
"Judging from his current behavior, we can't make this conclusion yet." Xiao Dianrong shook his head.
"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Cheng, I have to go back to the army." Liu Yongcai came to explain the situation to the National Salvation Association.
After Xiao Dianrong learned his identity, he specially asked him to come for a trip.
Liu Yongcai also hated Lu Chengzhou, but this was not his mission.
"Thank you for your hard work, Captain Liu." Xiao Dianrong held Liu Yongcai's hand and said gratefully.
"By the way, I smelled gunpowder smoke on Lu Chengzhou just now." Liu Yong just walked a few steps and suddenly turned around and said.
"The smell of gunpowder smoke?" Xiao Diannong said in surprise.
"He is an inspector and often shoots. He smells like gun smoke. It should be normal." Cheng Ruien said casually.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it. Goodbye, you two." Liu Yongcai waved his hand without thinking too much, turned around and strode away.
As a soldier, and a soldier who was about to go to the battlefield, he didn't want to stay for a moment.
Even if you go to the battlefield, you may die.
However, he felt that he had no regrets in dying on the anti-Japanese battlefield.
"Mr. Xiao, are we going to let Lu Chengzhou go like this?" Cheng Ruian complained after waiting for Liu Yongcai to leave.
"Classmate, do you think the anti-Japanese national united front is so easy to achieve? People like Lu Chengzhou, as long as they don't betray the country and don't follow the Japanese wholeheartedly, are the ones we strive for." Xiao Dianrong smiled.
He was indeed disappointed with Lu Chengzhou, and he also knew that Lu Chengzhou's thoughts had changed.
However, he still had to find a way to win over Lu Chengzhou.
"Boom, boom, boom."
When Cheng Ruien was about to speak, he suddenly heard an explosion in the distance.
His expression changed. The Chinese army did not have such artillery, only the Japanese.
"Look, that's a Japanese bomber." Xiao Dianrong suddenly pointed in the air.
"It seems to be in the direction of Nanjing University." Cheng Ruien's expression changed.
Since dawn, all Japanese aircraft have taken off to support Japanese operations.
In addition to the Japanese Concession and Haiguang Temple, the Security Corps Headquarters, the Municipal Government, the Court, Ningyuan, the Municipal Telephone Office, and the Municipal General Post Office were all bombed.
Moreover, after the Japanese army learned that Nankai University had a reserve battalion of Chinese troops, they dispatched more than a dozen aircraft to bomb Nankai University in turns.
The Chinese troops in the reserve camp were killed and injured more than a hundred people.
Nankai University's Siyuan Hall, Xiushan Hall, library, professor building, and nearby houses were bombed into ruins.
The water conservancy experimental hall just built by Hebei Institute of Technology, which cost 300,000 yuan, was also bombed.
The Japanese hated Nankai University so much that the progressive students of Nankai University suppressed Japanese goods, expressed condolences to the national army, and even actively asked to join the war.
They have done a lot of work in maintaining public order, protecting traffic order, preventing rape, and calming people's minds.
Especially since September 18, progressive students at Nankai University have been promoting anti-Japanese propaganda.
The Haigu detachment of the Democratic Pioneer Corps is also located at Nankai University.
The party organization also has a branch at Nankai University.
Now that they have the opportunity, it would be strange if the Japanese army did not blow up Nankai University.
The sound of explosions in the distance made Lu Chengzhou worried. He didn't bother to take a shower and climbed to the roof.
Seeing the Japanese planes dropping bombs recklessly over Haigu, Lu Chengzhou was filled with indignation.
With the strength of the 38th Division and no foreign aid, it was no match for the Japanese army.
Lu Chengzhou had expected this a long time ago.
In the war between China and Japan, Lu Chengzhou firmly believed that victory must belong to China.
However, the process must be difficult and dangerous, and may even cost several generations.
After taking a shower, Lu Chengzhou couldn't sleep at all.
Xiao Dianrong and Cheng Ruien came to see him today. Although they exposed his mask, they also allowed Lu Chengzhou to completely draw a clear line between the National Salvation Association and the National Salvation Association.
Kawasaki Hiroshi and Shigekawa Hidekazu always wanted Lu Chengzhou to contact progressive students and find ways to lurk within anti-Japanese groups.
However, Xiao Dianrong's visit completely ended this road.
Lu Chengzhou could confidently report to Kawasaki Hiro that because of Chen Deming's betrayal, he could not gain the trust of the anti-Japanese groups.
It was not until the afternoon that the gunfire in the city slowly subsided.
Lu Chengzhou knew that this was because the 38th Division was evacuating or even being wiped out.
Lu Chengzhou knew that next, it was time for him to start to really make a difference.
After leaving home, Lu Chengzhou rode his bicycle and drove around his area.
He found that there were suddenly many people in the British Concession. These people were all bringing their families, some were carrying burdens, and some were pushing wheelbarrows.
The entire Haigu, except for the British, French and Italian concessions, fell into the hands of the Japanese army.
Seeing these Chinese people who were living and working in peace and contentment and leading a hard life just a few days ago, Lu Chengzhou felt very guilty.
The country is weak and the army is weak. It is really shameful that we cannot protect the safety of the people in our own land.
After get off work, Lu Chengzhou rode his bicycle to the Japanese Concession.
After dark, there were few pedestrians on the street. Although the Japanese army did not impose a curfew, in fact, it was no different from a curfew.
Along the way, although Lu Chengzhou encountered several Japanese sentry posts, he spoke fluent Japanese and was going to the Japanese Concession, so he was not blocked.
"Teacher Kawasaki, Mr. Shigekawa, can I make great achievements next?" Lu Chengzhou said with a proud look on his face.
After leaving the British Concession, Lu Chengzhou has been adjusting his mentality.
"Don't worry, you have time to do things." Kawasaki Hiroshi said with a smile.
The Chinese army was really vulnerable. In just one day, the Imperial Japanese Army occupied Haigu.
At this rate, it will only take three months to occupy the entire China.
