The captured American officers made some noise when they arrived at the dock, which made the Japanese navy soldiers helpless but did not dare to stop them.
Especially the American Lieutenant General Wright, seeing that the Japanese were very restrained towards them, sang loudly on the dock to attract the attention of others.
These captured American officers had indeed achieved their goal, and news about them spread quickly.
The Military Command Shanghai Station also received this information immediately.
Because of the target's image and the restrained attitude of the escorting soldiers, Li Yunsheng felt that there was a 90% chance that these people were the mission targets of the Military Command Bureau.
Li Yunsheng was naturally unhappy at being involved in such an arduous task, but he could not refuse, so he could only think of countermeasures.
"The top priority now is to find the whereabouts of these prisoners, and then we can study how to rescue them."
Since the matter cannot be evaded, Li Yunsheng naturally has to take action and cannot openly disobey orders.
"This is easy to handle. Our people have already taken action and will get the news soon."
Xu Bing responded immediately with a very confident tone.
This is also because the captured American officers made eye-catching actions as soon as they left the warship, which attracted the attention of military intelligence agents.
Originally, the Shanghai Station was investigating information about American prisoners. Now that this clue has been discovered, it is natural to continue to pursue it.
Therefore, when the Japanese Marine Corps escorted away the captured American officers, the intelligence agents of the military command immediately began to use various means to trace them.
There are many gangs in Shanghai and all kinds of informants are everywhere, so this news cannot be hidden from anyone.
"Show the photos sent by the headquarters to people who have seen these prisoners to avoid mistaking the target."
Li Yunsheng made another suggestion, secretly hoping that these people should not be targeted.
Although Li Yunsheng knew that the possibility was very low, he still held on to a glimmer of hope.
Xu Bing nodded and did not raise any objections. After all, all actions must clarify the identity of the target.
At this time, Xu Bing remembered something again and said with a smile: "Stationmaster, these captured American officers have such a good attitude that they can actually sing on the dock."
Li Yunsheng said disdainfully: "Where is the good attitude? I guess they did something to attract attention on purpose."
"Why?"
"These captured American officers are not low-level soldiers or low-level officers. Everyone has a clear head. As long as there is any trouble, they will notice something.
So these captured American officers must have noticed the change in the situation and thought that the U.S. government would send people to rescue them, so they did what they did."
Li Yunsheng was a shrewd man, so the thoughts of the American officers could not be hidden from him.
This was also the case for the captured American officers. Their approach was somewhat obvious. Although they could hide it from ordinary soldiers, they could not hide it from people who knew the inside story.
"These prisoners are pretty smart!"
After hearing Li Yunsheng's explanation, Xu Bing was a little surprised. He didn't expect that an American officer who was a prisoner of war could behave like this.
"The Pacific War broke out not long ago, and these Americans were not captured for long, so they naturally did not lose their cool."
Li Yunsheng didn't think there was anything remarkable about these captured American officers.
Because some situations are indeed easy to judge, then it is reasonable and reasonable to make the most advantageous choice.
After the two discussed for a few more words, Xu Bing turned around and left, and arranged for intelligence personnel to investigate the whereabouts of these captured American officers...
The intelligence agents of the military command worked very quickly, and it took only two hours to find out the whereabouts of the target person.
Xu Bing also met the military commander on the dock and brought bad news to Li Yunsheng, breaking his fantasy.
"Stationmaster, I personally took the photos and asked people who have seen the American prisoners to identify them. It has been confirmed that they are our targets."
Since the Military Command Headquarters issued the mission, information about a dozen prisoners was passed to Shanghai.
It's just that the matter needs to be kept secret, and not many people have seen the photos, so Xu Bing went out to confirm.
"Where are these prisoners held by the Japanese?"
Although Li Yunsheng was disappointed, the answer was already within his expectation, so he didn't have any special reaction.
Because the previous idea was just an expectation, and the possibility was inherently low.
"The captives were locked up in the Bai Mansion on Xiafei Road and were very tightly guarded."
"The White Mansion, where could it be?"
Li Yunsheng was a little surprised, because Xiafei Road was one of the most prosperous places in the former French Concession. It not only had convenient transportation, but also had a very elegant environment.
As for Bai Gongguan, it is also very famous. It was once the residence of a tycoon of the Republic of China. It was only expropriated by the Japanese army two years ago when the Japanese attacked the concession.
Therefore, Li Yunsheng felt surprised, because the environment of Bai Mansion was so good. Even if he wanted to break his head, he never thought that the Japanese would keep American prisoners there.
Because this kind of preferential treatment is really excessive and not like the Japanese style.
"Yes, it's Bai Mansion!"
"This is not like Little Japan's style. What are their plans?"
Li Yunsheng immediately became vigilant and began to think about the Japanese's purpose.
After all, the environment of the White Mansion was so good that even if it was confiscated by the Japanese military, no one would live in it. It had always been used as a place to entertain distinguished guests.
"Stationmaster, no matter what the Japanese's purpose is, they are here in Bai Gongguan, so it is convenient for us to save them."
Xu Bing immediately spoke and expressed his opinion.
"That makes sense!"
Li Yunsheng also agreed with this view, because although Bai Mansion has a good location and elegant environment, it is not a hidden place.
Moreover, Li Yunsheng is also familiar with the situation inside the Bai Mansion, so it is very convenient for him to move around.
"How is the security situation at Bai Mansion?"
The Japanese plan had nothing to do with military unification, so Li Yunsheng asked about the security situation at Bai Mansion. After all, this was something related to the mission.
"We don't know much about the guards inside the Bai Mansion. We just have a small team of Marines guarding them on the surface."
The time was too short, and the intelligence agents of the military command could not find much information and could only see the superficial situation.
"A squad of guards!"
Li Yunsheng muttered to himself, then changed the topic and said: "Let our people continue the investigation and figure out the situation in Bai Mansion as soon as possible.
You can start from the service staff in Bai Mansion and the material transportation staff."
Since the Japanese locked up captured American officers in Bai Gongguan, it can be proved that these prisoners were treated well.
Then a dozen Americans would need at least a few service personnel, so Li Yunsheng planned to start investigating from this aspect.
Because it is easier for ordinary people to deal with than sneaking into Bai Mansion or attacking Japanese soldiers.
"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away."
Xu Bing nodded immediately, because the suggestion made by Li Yunsheng was indeed very feasible.
While Li Yunsheng and Li Yunsheng were discussing countermeasures, a dozen American prisoners in the Bai Mansion were also thinking about what to do.
Especially Wright and Donald, they gathered together and whispered something...
