Shanghai in the 190s was a strange city. On one side of the iron bridge was the sound of cannons. On the seventh side, you could still drink coffee leisurely, hold a telescope in a high-rise building, or watch the live broadcast of the war on the other side in a bunker by the river. The soldiers on both sides had no way to escape, and they could also escape into the concession, disarm the British or French troops, and then they could be viewers.

Since the war in Shanghai began, the concessions have become more crowded. Countries have transferred their troops into the concessions and built barricades on major transportation roads. The British, American and French Far East fleets have cruising on the sea surface of the Bund. Marines from various countries have entered the concessions, and the major transportation roads have built barricades.

Wars were raging in Shanghai, and citizens fled into the concession. A large number of citizens flocked to the concession every day through Waibaidu Bridge and Suzhou River. All public facilities in the concession were filled with refugees. Refugees who had no place to live had to sleep on the streets. Residents in the concession spontaneously formed an ambulance team to send relief porridge every day.

Wang Xiaoshan is holding a leather bag in his hand and wearing a 70% new suit. He looks like a small businessman who just came out of the city, looking for business opportunities on the streets. There are too many such people in the concession recently.

He walked slowly along the street, and children's crying and irritable screams and scolding from both sides came from time to time. The place he agreed upon was ahead. He called the newspaper boys who were selling along the street, bought a newspaper, and sat at a nearby shoe shining stall. The shoe shining children were very happy and careful to start shining his shoes. At this time, the competition for shining shoes was much fiercer, and the entry threshold for this industry was too low.

Wang Xiaoshan opened the newspaper, but his mind was not on the contents of the newspaper. As soon as the Lugou Bridge Incident occurred, Zhuang Jihua secretly called him to the western Sichuan exercise field from Chongqing to meet secretly. This time, even Lee Zhilong was hidden. Zhuang Jihua gave him a secret mission, going to Peking and Tianjin to find Park Wenyong (Li Gao Zisuke) and Kim Zhihao (the second Korean in Guangzhou back then). If he couldn't find it, he would go to Shanghai or Qingdao to try his luck. If he found it, he would immediately notify his family and find a way to establish a contact channel for them.

He stayed in Peking for three weeks, and did not wait for anyone, and then went to Tianjin. Even after the loss of Peking, he still traveled between the two places, but the two men seemed to have disappeared without any information.

In disappointment, he went to Qingdao, but there was no news in Qingdao. He was disappointed, and gritted his teeth and returned to Peiping again, and sent a call signal in the newspaper again. But what disappointed him was that there was still no news, so he completely gave up and went south to Shanghai. The reason why he did this was because in his opinion, Li Gao Nosuke was the most valuable spy. Jin Zhihao had no news, and his value was impossible to estimate. Li Gao Nosuke appeared in Peiping last time, and the most likely person in the Kwantung Army was also Peiping Tianjin.

Shanghai is also very familiar to Wang Xiaoshan. For people like him, danger and safety have increased several times at the same time, so he must be extremely careful.

After sending the summoning signal in the newspaper, he went to this small cafe during the day to wait, from twelve o'clock, or at night to the Jisi Dance Hall on Jing'an Temple Road, from 9 o'clock to 10:30. Such a waiting lasts for five days. This is a boring waiting and a dangerous waiting, because you don't know if the person you are waiting for is your own person. If not, what you may be waiting for may be a bullet.

In just a few minutes, Wang Xiaoshan observed the surrounding situation clearly and found no accidents. He put away the newspaper and walked into the small coffee shop. He quickly looked at the environment in the store, but unexpectedly saw Lian Xiaosen and Mei Youlan. His heart skipped a beat. This was an unexpected accident. He quickly evaluated what problems this accident would bring to him.

When Wang Xiaoshan walked towards Mei Youlan with a smile and Lian Xiaosen, the expressions of the two were slightly different. Mei Youlan was very happy. Lian Xiaosen was a little puzzled.

"Why are you here?" Wang Xiaoshan asked first after sitting down.

"We are here to interview the Songhu battlefield." Mei Youlan said, "Why are you here? Are you here?"

People from the mainland in the base know that Mei Youlan is not her brother Mei Yuntian. This is a special name for Zhuang Jihua. His biological brother was cancelled.

"How could he come to Shanghai at this time? He couldn't be busy with things there." Wang Xiaoshan said with a smile, but ignored the question of why he went to Shanghai: "How is it? Have you interviewed those big names?"

Wang Xiaoshan knew that as soon as the news was mentioned, Mei Youlan would turn her attention to this. She had no time to pay attention to the reason why he was here. Sure enough, Mei Youlan immediately frowned and pouted and said, "It's a big shot. Those big shots are very busy. They all have no time."

With this pout, the posture of a child appeared again, but this image can only be seen by the people closest to Zhuang Jihua, and it is impossible for Xin Ruimin and others to see it.

"That's right, the battle situation is tense and no one has time." Wang Xiaoshan did not vent his anger for Mei Youlan, but nodded in agreement to express his understanding.

If Lian Xiaosen said this, Mei Youlan would definitely retort on the spot, but this was what Wang Xiaoshan said, Mei Youlan couldn't say anything. Among the people around Zhuang Jihua, two of them were treated like this, Song Yunfei and Wang Xiaoshan, especially

Fei, I don’t know why Mei Youlan was worried about these two people, and she didn’t know whether it was.

"I went to interview Commander Song Xi last night. I saw that they were actually retreating. I couldn't figure it out. I clearly blocked the Japanese's attack, so why did I retreat?" Mei Youlan asked Wang Xiaoshan for answers to the question in her heart.

"It's hard to say," Wang Xiaoshan said, taking a look at the gate. He always paid attention to everyone who came in outside the gate: "The Japanese artillery fire is too fierce. Retreat for a distance, which is beneficial to defense. War is not a matter of one or two days."

"But..." Mei Youlan remembered the article she had finally completed last night. If that were the case, wouldn't that article be scrapped?

"It is normal to advance and retreat on the battlefield. Back then... your elder brother took us with him, that's not surprising. Didn't your elder brother say that you should read two books carefully to evaluate war?" Wang Xiaoshan said, and raised his eyebrows.

A man in his thirties came in outside the door, holding a newspaper in his hand, wearing a dark brown suit and a gray top hat on his head. Everything except the newspaper was in line with the conditions for summoning.

Wang Xiaoshan continued to observe without moving. The movement inside and outside the store. After a while, he concluded that the person was here alone and continued to chat with Mei Youlan for a while. He put the newspaper in his pocket, stood up and said sorry, "I'll go to the bathroom."

After passing by Brown West, he saw the newspaper "Zhilinxi" on the table. Yes, everything was right. When he didn't contact him immediately, he let the man's gaze rotate on him and then disappeared. After entering the bathroom, he quickly looked at the bathroom. Fortunately, no one was there. He took out a pistol from his waist, loaded the bullet, and then inserted it on his left waist. Then he took out two flying knives, one on his ankle, and the other tied to his forearm. When he came out of the bathroom, he was already holding a newspaper in his hand.

When passing by the bar, he sat in front of the bar, asked the waiter for a glass of wine, and then walked back with the wine. Today he decided to take the risk and contacted the person under Mei Youlan's nose. This was the third day, and the other party came here on the third day, which means that his situation is not easy for him to come out. I don't know how many days it will take to come out next time.

"Sorry, sir, what time is it now?" Wang Xiaoshan suddenly turned around and approached him when he asked when he passed by the man.

The man showed vigilance in his eyes. When he saw the newspaper in Wang Xiaoshan's hand, he said calmly: "I'm sorry, my watch is slow and the time is not accurate."

"Oh," Wang Xiaoshan was extremely disappointed: ".Your suit is very beautiful. Did you buy it in Shanghai?"

"No, I bought it in Guangzhou, but the hat was bought in Hongkou." The man's face remained calm. After saying that, he asked back: "Did you buy your leather shoes in Shanghai?"

"Not it, it's Nanjing."

"Nanjing also produces such beautiful leather shoes, I thought it was imported from the United States."

The code was met, but Wang Xiaoshan had no expression at all: "Subduing the dog's arhat."

The man finally smiled on his face: "Mr. I'm wrong, it's Jianghu." After saying that, he lowered his voice: "My name is Osawa Magoro?"

"How long can you stay here?" Wang Xiaoshan nodded slightly.

"At most three hours, it will cause suspicion if it is more."

"Leave here immediately and go to xx's xx shop to wait for me." After Wang Xiaoshan finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Back at Lian Xiaosen Mei Youlan's table, Lian Xiaosen asked strangely: "Who is that?"

"I don't know each other," Wang Xiaoshan said lightly.

"I haven't known each other for so long." Lian Xiaosen was a little disbelief.

Wang Xiaoshan smiled and said, "Is there any way? I've come to you. Forget it, let's talk about you. To be honest, retreating to the other side of the Suzhou River is not wrong. According to me, you reporters should not question tactics or discuss tactics. To be honest, I'm better than you."

"Then what do you think we should report on?" Mei Youlan asked tentatively.

"You should be better than me, you are a professional." Wang Xiaoshan smiled slightly and changed into Zhuang Jihua's tone.

"Don't learn from my elder brother." Mei Youlan rolled her eyes: "You can't learn from you either. You are too serious. Be careful of learning to walk."

Wang Xiaoshan did not refute, his purpose was to cover up this passage.

"But you are right, I thought about it just now," Mei Youlan sighed: "Maybe I'm a little too radical. I shouldn't talk about tactics, but focus on the deeds, just like the Hero Report Group."

"That's right," Lian Xiaosen finally breathed a sigh of relief. If this happens, Mei Youlan's chances of going to dangerous areas are much less. The heroes will either die or lie in the hospital, and there are very few living.

Wang Xiaoshan chatted with him for another ten minutes, asked where they lived, then got up and said goodbye, and after leaving, he called a rickshaw and headed straight to xx store on xx Road.
