It was drizzling, and the whole of Shanghai was shrouded in rain and fog. The continuous sound of gunfire made citizens hide in their homes and pray for God's blessings. There were also people who had to run around for their families' livelihood and were walking hurriedly on the streets. They were only a few meters away from the Suzhou River.
The small white building ten meters away was extremely busy. This was a safe house at the Juntong Shanghai Station.
"Tang Cheng, 19 years old, unknown parents, an abandoned baby adopted by American priest Robert when he was missionary in Shandong, and has been living with Robert. It is reported that two days before the Battle of Shanghai broke out, Robert had just obtained a U.S. passport for Tang Cheng." He was dressed in military uniform.
Xiao Yalan, who had shed his student youth, was holding a document in his hand. On the first page was a small photo of Tangcheng. Wang Lantian, who had been to the church, was also wearing the same military uniform, but Xiao Yalan was standing, while Wang Lantian
He was sitting, and there were several other people in the room.
"Robert is an American. It is reported that he joined the army when he was young. The reason why he came to China is unknown. He has lived in many places in Shandong, Henan, and Peiping. He came to Shanghai after 128.
"Glancing sideways at Wang Lantian, Xiao Yalan turned to the second page of the information. There was a photo of Robert and some information. After reading the book according to the script, Xiao Yalan closed the folder and stood upright without saying a word.
"Okay, I believe everyone has a preliminary understanding of Tangcheng." Seeing that other people in the room did not seem to be very interested in Tangcheng, Wang Lantian, who presided over the meeting, smiled, "But these are just the things on the presentation.
, is the information our people obtained through normal channels, but we also have information related to Tangcheng, which I believe you will be interested in."
After receiving Wang Lantian's hint, Xiao Yalan took out a few pieces of paper marked confidential from the folder and held it in his hand, "Tang Cheng, 19 years old, unknown place of origin, an abandoned baby whose parents died, raised by American priest Robert.
He received a good education. Tangcheng is a generous person, has friends in three exchanges, is proficient in English, Japanese and German, and is believed to have been taught by Father Robert."
"Two days before the Battle of Shanghai broke out, that is, on the night when Robert obtained a U.S. passport for Tang Cheng, Robert was attacked and poisoned to death by the Japanese. Tang Cheng, who was keeping vigil for him, disappeared for no reason two days later. When he was found again, Tang Cheng was in a family home.
In the hospital treating wounded soldiers, and the time is already 24 days later." Xiao Yalan's words aroused the interest of others in the room. They are all elite members of the military command, and analyzing data is their strength.
"We found the Red Cross personnel who escorted Tang Cheng to the hospital that day and the German nun Emma, who proved that Tang Cheng once held a shell gun and fought with five Japanese infiltration troops who had lost their way. It is said that Tang Cheng first used the shell gun at close range
He shot four Japanese soldiers, then threw a shell gun that had no bullets and hit the last Japanese soldier. He then subdued the two surviving Japanese soldiers in close-quarters combat. During the hand-to-hand fight, he suffered multiple injuries, including one of the most serious stab wounds.
"
"Our people searched all the people who had contact with Tang Cheng that day, but could not find the shell gun. They suspected that the German nun Emma hid it and returned it to Tang Cheng. This is what the wounded soldiers in the same ward as Tang Cheng can
Confirm this." Speaking of the wounded soldiers, Xiao Yalan took out another piece of paper full of handwriting, "This is the oral record of the wounded soldiers. According to them, there is still a bullet in Tang Cheng's thigh.
The scratches were probably caused by Japanese light machine guns, and Tang Cheng likes to ask about battles on the battlefield. The wounded soldiers said that Tang Cheng smelled of gunpowder smoke and murderous intent, so he must have been on the battlefield."
"How's it going? Doesn't it sound interesting?" Wang Lantian, who was holding a cigarette in his hand, smiled happily. Tang Cheng was the person he tried his best to win over the army. Being able to tell that Tang Cheng was special showed that Wang Lantian had a good vision.
Okay. When Wang Lantian paid attention to Tang Cheng, it was only because Xiao Yalan said that Tang Cheng could speak Japanese and English. Unexpectedly, the dead Robert actually taught Tang Cheng German. Such a guy is just a living treasure. It would be a waste to let him mix among the people.
.
"The type of shell gun used in Tangcheng. I have found out the corresponding gun type based on the descriptions of people present at the time. It is a red9 Mauser pistol made in Germany. We also import this shell gun in China, but as far as we know,
None of our troops participating in the Battle of Shanghai this time had an officer wearing a shell gun of this type." Xiao Yalan took out a photo from the folder and handed it to Wang Lantian. It showed a shell gun that was exactly the same as the red9 in Tangcheng.
"Could it be that Tangcheng purchased it from a gang member? I didn't just say that Tangcheng has a lot of friends. There should be quite a few gang members among them. They like to use shell guns very much." The military intelligence officer who asked the question
He was a member of the Youth Gang. Gangs in Shanghai, especially those in the Youth Gang, really like to use shell guns.
"No" Xiao Yalan responded directly to the intelligence officer's question, "Shanghai gang members do like Mauser pistols, but this red9 Mauser pistol uses a bullet bridge instead of a magazine, and its loading method is
Fill the pressure from the top. It took us three days to find all the people in Shanghai who had channels to deal with arms. It proved that the pistols used in Tangcheng had nothing to do with the gangs in Shanghai. However, we found it with a gangster named Mao Wu from the Qing Gang.
Got some interesting information."
"According to Mao Wu, Tang Cheng once purchased some 0.45-inch Colt pistol bullets from him. Based on this clue, we determined that Tang Cheng still had an m1911a1 pistol. But why did Tang Cheng encounter those five Japanese soldiers?
When you don't use the m1911a1 pistol to fire directly, its power is much more powerful than the red9 Mauser pistol." Xiao Yalan paused and deliberately gave everyone in the room a chance. After receiving Wang Lantian's signal,
Xiao Yalan held back her smile and continued to speak.
"Based on this clue, we found the remnants of a battlefield where the battle ended a few streets away from where Tang Cheng rescued people." Xiao Yalan took out a few more photos and handed them to Wang Lantian and everyone. If Tang Cheng
You will definitely exclaim here, the photo is the battlefield where the motley company fought with the Japanese army. "We found an m1911a1 pistol on one of the ** captain's bodies, but as we know, in the ** lieutenant's body
No officer of the first rank carries such a pistol."
Xiao Yalan seemed to be going too far, and the military intelligence agents in the room were a little confused. Only Wang Lantian, who had read the report a long time ago, smiled and remained calm. "A pistol alone cannot explain the problem.
But we found a shell gun holster on a Japanese officer. Please note that it was an empty holster. Our people searched the entire battlefield and could not find the shell gun."
The intelligence agents in the audience seemed to hear the connection, but someone still asked, "What does this mean? Could it be that Tang Cheng took away the shell gun from the Japanese officer because his original m1911a1 pistol was
**The captain is greedy for ink? Didn't the Japanese army take away the shell gun when they were cleaning the battlefield?" He asked several questions confidently, but there was indeed some truth in it, which made several other intelligence officers nod.
.
"You are wrong again." Xiao Yalan laughed directly at this moment, "The Japanese army couldn't just take away a pistol when cleaning the battlefield. When our people felt that battlefield, the Japanese troops had just arrived. The entire battlefield
Basically, it has maintained its original appearance. All the Japanese corpses, weapons and ammunition are still there, and there is absolutely no suggestion that the Japanese army has cleaned up the battlefield."
"So that means that during the few days when Tang Cheng was sent to the hospital, he was fighting with the Japanese army in this miscellaneous company?" The intelligence agent who was ridiculed by Xiao Yalan didn't care about that and immediately said what he was thinking.
He came out, and this time he got Xiao Yalan's nod of approval. "Since his original authorization was corrupted by the captain, it means that Tang Cheng may not have voluntarily joined the army to fight, but was temporarily captured as a young man, and then the whole company and people were
The Japanese army was exhausted, but he was the only one who survived, and then he rescued the Red Cross people during their escape, and was eventually injured and sent to the hospital."
"That's right, after analyzing all the relevant information and clues, we came to the same conclusion. Otherwise, these things related to Tangcheng cannot be explained." Seeing that someone finally understood the value of the information in his hand,
Xiao Yalan smiled happily. If he had not seen this information with his own eyes, even Xiao Yalan would not have thought that Tangcheng had the experience of close combat with the Japanese army. Moreover, Tangcheng also narrowly escaped death and fought a positional battle with the Japanese army.
"Tangcheng can speak English, German and Japanese, and has experience fighting with the Japanese army. Such people are urgently needed by our military commander. Let you participate in this analysis meeting, so that you can have an understanding of Tangcheng first. When Tangcheng joins us
Juntong Shanghai Station, you old Juntong people remember not to give him a hard time." Wang Lantian now seems to have regarded Tang Cheng as a member of Juntong Shanghai Station. Under his gaze, all the Juntong intelligence officers present nodded in agreement.
Wang Lantian is already the new station chief of the Juntong Shanghai Station, and no one with a discerning eye dares to touch his bad luck.
"But webmaster, we have visited twice. Tang Cheng was vague every time. If he is still vague this time, what should we do?" Wang Lantian planned to visit Tang Cheng three times. This time
It was the third time, and the executioners were Xiao Yalan and two intelligence agents, but Xiao Yalan was unsure.
"Don't be afraid. We only have our sincerity after visiting the thatched cottage. If this Tangcheng recognizes his identity, forget it. If he doesn't, you can just use your means to bring him back to me." Wang Lantian took a leisurely puff of cigarette and said with a smile, "Don't
Forgot, Tang Cheng fought with that miscellaneous company, so he is a soldier. If he refuses to come, we will treat him as a deserter. We are not afraid that he will not submit."
