Chapter 744: Capture the Concession
When she came to the hospital, An Yinong saw that Yang Wan had recovered well. Yang Wan didn't expect An Yinong to see him.
"Is it okay?" An Yinong asked.
"It's much better, you don't have to send someone to protect me anymore, just withdraw it." Yang Wan felt that An Yinong's sending someone to protect her was too obvious, and she was worried that it would be detrimental to An Yinong.
An Yinong shook her head and said, "It's okay."
An Yinong sent someone to protect Yang Wan, not because he was worried that Yang Wan was killed by anti-Japanese elements, but because he was worried that Toshio Shirakawa would attack Yang Wan, but he didn't know.
Although I could not stop Shirakawa Toshio's actions by sending someone here, if Shirakawa Toshio forcibly arrested people, I would know it as soon as possible.
Moreover, An Yion said in front of Toshio Shirakawa that Yang Wan might have been murdered by anti-Japanese elements, and it would be unreasonable not to send someone to protect Yang Wan.
When An Yinong saw Yang Wan’s current appearance, he asked, “When are you going to be discharged from the hospital.”
"Depending on the situation, I think it's almost the same now. If it doesn't work, go home to recuperate. It's enough for half a month." Yang Wan was bored in the hospital, and it's natural that he could go home.
But An Yinong said, "Wait for another month."
"What's wrong?" Yang Wan was a little nervous. She didn't know why An Yinong had to wait for a month herself. Is there any danger?
An Yinong shook her head and said, "No, but now you can't get to work when you go back. Why not stay in the hospital and let the Japanese relax their guard against you."
Yang Wan has not left the hospital once a month, so the Japanese will naturally relax their vigilance against Yang Wan. Although a month has been a long time, Yang Wan had to agree after thinking about it.
After seeing Yang Wan, An Yinong left. The work of cleaning the countryside outside the city was handed over to Qin Fanghao. He had exchanged fire with anti-Japanese elements and had damage to each other.
An Yinong thought this was good, at least letting the Wang puppet government and the Japanese know that Qin Fanghao was outside the city and attacked the Japanese elements.
Things in the city are much simpler. Searching and arresting, collecting intelligence, and arresting anti-Japanese elements are actually the same.
Shirakawa Toshio didn't say anything, and An Yinong deliberately shifted the focus of his work to the Qing Township in order not to let Shirakawa Toshio say he was doing nothing.
As for the people from the Wang Puppet Government, they now have a lot of trust in An Yinong because An Yinong helped them break the balance and gave them more benefits.
They regarded An Yinong as their own person, and now An Yinong's status in the Wang puppet government has been greatly improved.
As the days passed day by day, An Yinong became more and more nervous. He knew that the day for the Japanese to conquer the concession was coming soon.
"Don't go out with Xiaolan these days, just stay at home if you have nothing to do." An Yinong said to Liu Wei.
"What's wrong?" Liu Wei asked.
"The Japanese army may need to take action." An Yinong said.
"War?" Liu Wei asked immediately, because An Yinong did not use the Japanese here, but the Japanese army, which made Liu Wei a little sensitive.
An Yinong nodded and said, "Yes."
"Do you want to participate?" Liu Wei was a little worried and peaceful.
"No." An Yinong said. An Yinong and his people are not regular soldiers, and they do not need to participate in these things.
But An Yinong said, "We don't need to participate now, but after the Japanese army fought, we were a little busy."
There are many anti-Japanese elements in the concession. After the Japanese army is occupied, these people will be dealt with immediately. An Yinong and the others will of course be busy at that time.
An Yinong had already told Qiu Gang about this, but the organization did not arrange for a retreat because it was an intelligence system that the organization worked hard to establish. You let those people retreat at this time.
Not to mention that the organization is unwilling, those people themselves will not be willing, because these intelligence systems are built at the expense of many talents.
And they would have some luck in their hearts, that is, even if the Japanese army invaded, they would not find them.
But An Yinong felt it was very dangerous. If the Japanese army captured it, everything would be troublesome. However, he couldn't persuade him. He said what he should say, and now he could only wait and see what he had changed.
However, An Yinong did nothing. He called Qiu Gang and asked Qiu Gang to inform the comrades in the French Concession that they must be careful and that they should be extra careful when doing activities during this period.
When Liu Wei heard An Yinong say this, she felt relieved and said, "Okay, I understand."
Liu Wei was relieved that An Yinong didn’t have to go to war. Shanghai was a little calm these days, but An Yinong knew that these were just the tranquility before the storm came.
December 8.
Before dawn, guns and cannons rang out on the beach of Shanghai, and the Japanese army began to attack the Shanghai Concession. The concession's resistance seemed a little weak at this moment.
Only one British warship wanted to escape from the Huangpu River, but was sunk by Japan and another American warship surrendered.
The streets of the Shanghai Public Concession were filled with Japanese soldiers standing guard. The Japanese army soon took over the French Concession, and the entire Shanghai became an occupied area.
Shanghai fell quickly, and the concession had become a past tense, and now it has been occupied by the Japanese.
An Yinong arrived on the 76th in the morning and kept paying attention to the situation outside. The last festival was similar to An Yinong’s expectations.
An Yinong immediately contacted Sun Xiaolong and asked Sun Xiaolong to contact Qiu Gang, and he wanted to meet Qiu Gang.
Because he didn't meet today, there might not be time to meet tomorrow. Sun Xiaolong knew that this time the matter was serious, so Sun Xiaolong quickly notified Qiu Gang and said he would meet tonight.
In fact, Qiu Gang has no time because he has a lot of things to deal with, but after thinking about it, it seems that he can't deal with it immediately.
The Japanese army had already succeeded. They were too late to do anything now. At this time, Qiu Gang could only let everyone in the concession hide, and he met An Yinong tonight.
When the three of them met in the evening, An Yinong asked directly: "Are the comrades in the concession safe?"
"I don't know." Qiu Gang said.
"I don't know what it is." Sun Xiaolong was anxious first.
Qiu Gang said: "Everyone has already hidden himself, but the Japanese army has just occupied it and has not started searching yet. I don't know what will happen in the future."
"Is there any other news?" An Yinong asked.
Qiu Gang looked at An Yinong and said, "Your intelligence is correct. The Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor in the United States."
Qiu Gang just learned about this news not long ago, because there was too much news coming today, so it was a bit slow.
"What else?" An Yinong asked.
Qiu Gang continued: "The Japanese army in North China also occupied the British Concession in Tianjin and the American Barracks, and also occupied the British and American Barracks in Beijing."
"They disarmed all the Americans and British soldiers who did not evacuate the area as prisoners of war, and at the same time they also concentrated the British and American overseas Chinese in the city and sent them to concentration camps."
"So many." Sun Xiaolong thought that it was just that Shanghai was captured by the Japanese army, but he did not expect that the Japanese army's actions were far more than that.
But An Yi Nong knew that it was not finished yet, so he asked, "Where is Hong Kong?"
"The Japanese army dispatched a division of troops living in Guangdong and launched a fierce attack on Hong Kong with the cooperation of aviation naval ships. Japanese planes first bombed British ships anchored on the sea of Hong Kong, and the infantry immediately launched an attack on the Kowloon Fortress."
"But the Japanese army encountered a great counterattack in Hong Kong and should not be able to capture it in a short period of time." Qiu Gang said.
"If it's not out of this month, Hong Kong shouldn't be able to hold on." An Yinong said, because he knew that at the end of the month, Hong Kong would also fall.
"Our current situation is very unfavorable. All these places have fallen, and the only few islands of refuge have disappeared." Qiu Gang said.
Qiu Gang thought it was not a good thing, but An Yinong said: "I don't think things are that bad. The island of refuge for us Chinese is actually provided by foreigners, which is ashamed to say."
Qiu Gang and Sun Xiaolong all understood the question An Yinong mentioned, and they were all a little angry at this time.
An Yinong continued: "What the Japanese do now is not only a harm to us, but also a provocation to the United States and Britain."
"They occupy the concession and seize the property and property of the United States and Britain, and they will anger these countries, which will be detrimental to the Japanese army."
"And they will anger us Chinese even more and inspire our Chinese people's determination to fight the war to the end. In doing so, the Japanese will only accelerate their demise." An Yinong knew that this time was a turning point, no matter which country, especially the battlefield situation of China.
This turning point is crucial and has promoted the demise of the Japanese army in many ways. An Yinong wants to cheer everyone up.
In fact, Qiu Gang also understood what An Yinong said. Qiu Gang said: "This action by the Japanese army will make Britain, the United States and other countries decide to fight against the Japanese army."
"But the battle situation in our country will be even more cruel, and the Japanese invasion of us will be even more cruel. Without the protection of the concession, the battlefield of us underground workers will be even more tragic, and our test."
An Yinong nodded and said, "Yes, so we must hold on. This is the darkness before dawn, we must hold on."
"We can definitely." Sun Xiaolong said.
Qiu Gang said to An Yinong: "The Japanese will ask people to go to the concession to investigate. Well, there is no concession anymore. You don't need to help deliberately. Do whatever you should do. This time, the matter is not something you can solve alone."
Qiu Gang knew that An Yinong was going in and searching for anti-Japanese elements and anti-Japanese forces, so he didn't have to ask An Yinong to do anything.
Because An Yinong can't do anything now, An Yinong may be suspected, and even if An Yinong doesn't do these things, some people will do them.
An Yinong said: "If you have anything, I can help you. Just tell me that it is inconvenient to enter and exit now. I can pass on the news."
After the Japanese occupied the concession, they first blocked them because they wanted to arrest anti-Japanese elements, so they naturally would not make the inside mess.
