Chapter 13 It's going to be a needle eye!
As the troops guarding the Sihang Warehouse retreated into the concession, the Battle of Songhu, which lasted for three months, came to an end. The National Revolutionary Army fought tenaciously in this battle, but still could not hide the end of the total defeat.
Faced with the Japanese chasing and pursuing, the National Government, which retreated to Nanjing, began to focus on defending Nanjing. No one cared about Hu Biao and others who remained in Shanghai for a long time.
For Hu Biao, who is staying in the hospital at this moment, accepting the promotion order sent by the military is more of a legal identity. If he wants to participate in the war next, this identity is very necessary.
Without this identity, Hu Biao was also worried that he would not die at the hands of the Japanese when fighting behind enemy lines, but instead let his own people shoot black guns. With this promotion order and his military achievements, Hu Biao was also quite famous in the National Revolutionary Army.
Fame is a double-edged sword, and it can bring many conveniences to Hu Biao if it is used well. In contrast, this fame will also make the Japanese hate him even more, and find ways to solve the so-called anti-Japanese hero like Hu Biao.
Hu Biao, who successfully escaped being detained, has not slept well outside these days. On the first night of staying in the hospital in the rear, Hu Biao had a rare sleep. In a short period of time, at least there is no need to worry about the Japanese calling him.
Although the visit time has been decided, after Hu Biao got up the next day, he greeted Xu Sandao and prepared to leave. When he learned that Hu Biao was leaving, Xu Sandao said curiously: "Then will you come back tonight?"
"Let's talk about the situation! I'm so nervous when I stayed in the hospital. I want to go out for a walk. What I want to eat, I'll bring you some when I come back!"
"Get some cigarettes and alcohol, eat sick food every day, and the mouth fades out."
"You can bring you two packs of cigarettes, but if you drink less. You are still in the recovery period, it is not good to drink alcohol!"
He replied with a smile, holding his new ID card, Hu Biao changed into a commoner's clothes and left the hospital gate under the gaze of the sentry. For Hu Biao, he still needs to stay in the concession during this period.
As the National Army retreated completely, the Japanese army that completed the substantial occupation of Shanghai began to take over the public security in Shanghai. The only one that was not controlled by the Japanese army may be the only public concession controlled by the coalition forces.
In a short period of time, the public concessions controlled by Britain, the United States and other countries were relatively safe. At least Hu Biao knew that the military command and other intelligence agencies under Chiang Kai-shek would definitely have intelligence stations on the concession to inquire about the Japanese military's military intelligence in Shanghai.
Correspondingly, the Japanese army also set up intelligence stations in the public concession to inquire about the military intelligence of the National Army and collect information useful to the Japanese army. In short, if Shanghai wants to be truly peaceful, it is afraid there is no possibility.
Hu Biao, who was walking on the street, always felt it was difficult to integrate into this era. Many times, he looked at the people and things around him with the mentality of a tourist. This feeling of loss through time makes Hu Biao feel a kind of loneliness from the bottom of his heart.
"Although I've become accustomed to loneliness, this feeling of loneliness seems to be deeper than in my previous life!"
Whether he was a mercenary in his previous life or later became a commercial spy, Hu Biao rarely trusted others for safety. But no matter what, Hu Biao was able to integrate well into the crowd at that time, but just tried to make himself look less eye-catching.
But for Hu Biao at this moment, standing on the street, he always felt that he was a little out of place with the people around him. In Hu Biao's opinion, this feeling of incompatible must be solved, otherwise there will be problems sooner or later.
"I'm in a bad mood, so it's necessary to vent! It just so happens that I'll find an opportunity to do some votes in the evening. I'm leaving soon, so it's necessary to get some money and supplies. I hope that the goal of tonight will not disappoint me too much!"
Hu Biao, who muttered a few words, quickly got into the crowd on the street. In the evening, Hu Biao appeared near a business with a plaster flag. This business was Hu Biao's target tonight.
A few days ago, the Japanese Special High School Intelligence Officer who was beheaded by Hu Biao was hiding in this business. From the outside, this business operates a grain, rice, oil and cloth business, but in fact it is an intelligence station located in the concession of the Special High School.
Although the Japanese have now occupied Shanghai in full, the public concession, Britain, the United States and other countries have also controlled a lot of territory. In this public concession, there have always been many Japanese expatriates and merchants living there.
How could the Japanese give up the nails that were finally stuck in? As long as they cannot produce conclusive evidence, Britain, the United States and other countries responsible for the security and defense of the concession cannot expel these Japanese trading companies that opened in the concession early in the morning!
Hu Biao, who had come here to reconnaissance twice earlier, knew that there were three Japanese devils in this business. In addition, in order to look more like a business, this business hired local staff like other business companies.
Most of the employees in the business bank are responsible for transporting or selling goods. The bulk transactions and financial management are naturally the Japanese in the business bank. But in Hu Biao's view, the three Japanese employees should be intelligence officers.
The boss and the boss's wife of the business should be husband and wife intelligence officers. But for Hu Biao, since he decided to take action tonight, the three Japanese devils in this business will all become dead souls under the knife.
What Hu Biao has to do is to try not to disturb the patrols in the concession during the action. Perhaps we know that the concession has not been peaceful recently, and Britain, the United States and other countries have also sent more police forces to ensure the stability of the concession.
Of course, this patrol force is limited to areas where foreigners in the concession are more active. As for the slums in the concession, these patrol members naturally don’t care. This also leads to the fact that most places where the poor live are not peaceful at night.
As night fell, the originally lively commercial streets gradually became quiet. Although the electricity supply in the concession was good, there were actually not many people who dared to come out to wander around at night.
The truly prosperous streets at night are naturally the ten-mile foreign markets in the concession, where there are many casinos and nightclubs. People with wealthy and powerful pockets are willing to go there to get drunk. On this side of the commercial street, no one does business at night.
When the street crowds began to decrease, Hu Biao hid on a roof next to the business. Most of the buildings on the commercial street were two or three-story brick and tile houses, with shops in the front and most of the back as warehouses.
If you live, most of them live on the second floor. The building where Hu Biao is hiding is a three-story building. Because most of the buildings in this block have eaves and walls, Hu Biao, who is hiding on the roof, is not worried that he will be discovered.
As there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets, major commercial banks have also closed down one after another. Compared with some foreign companies, most of them hire compradors to trade for them. Some foreign companies, merchants and employees live in stores.
The business that Hu Biao planned to attack tonight, except for the three Japanese, the other local employees did not live in the store. The intention of doing this is understandable. Having other employees lived in the store will increase the possibility of exposure of the intelligence station.
Hu Biao, hiding on the roof, always stared at the Japanese business company separated by a wall. Looking at the business owner who was also closed, he was staying in the kitchen in the backyard of the business company and having a meal with the other two members.
Although I couldn't hear what the three of them were talking about, Hu Biao could still feel that the boss and the boss's wife of this business did not seem as loving as the daytime. Not long after I sat down for dinner, the boss got up and left to return to his residence on the second floor.
"It's hard to start when we get together. If we separate, we will have a better chance! Keep blowing this damn weather. I guess it's possible that it will be frozen after waiting. Add a piece of clothing and keep warm!"
Considering that it is far from the time to do something, Hu Biao took out a cotton coat that he had robbed from the Shili foreign market from his portable space. After covering it, he continued to stare at the business not far away.
What surprised Hu Biao was that as the boss hurriedly finished the meal, the boss's wife who stayed in the kitchen and the Japanese who were in charge of the business finance seemed to have a deep drink. Soon, the boss's wife had already reached the leg of the accountant.
Seeing this scene, Hu Biao couldn't help but complain: "Mom, these two guys won't be in a hand-to-hand battle in the restaurant, right? If that's the case, wouldn't I have needle holes?"
Fortunately, the two seemed to be quite restrained. Although they had already started to warm up in the restaurant, the final hand-to-hand combat did not seem to be placed in the restaurant. After drinking and eating, the boss's wife followed the accountant's house to the room where the accountant lived.
After the door was closed, Hu Biao, who was lying on the high place, could see clearly through the lights of what the two of them were doing and what they would do next. In contrast, Hu Biao didn't see very clearly when he went up to the boss's room on the second floor.
"Fake a couple? This boss is quite indifferent. He is cuckold every day. It's certain that he is unhappy! Depending on this situation, this boss's wife should not be simple. Maybe she is the person in charge of this intelligence station."
