The news brought by Hans made Tangcheng confused. This Japanese major general named Yokomoto Ichiro had been in Shanghai for two days. Hans, a guy who claimed to be well-informed, had not heard anything about it. This seemed a bit strange.
It was normal. Before Tang Cheng could ask, Hans took the initiative to explain, "My informant at the Military Police Headquarters has never had a chance to spread the news. This time, let alone me, actually even the British, the United States and France
The intelligence officers also didn’t hear any news.”
"General Heng Yuan is from the Japanese military, so when he came to Shanghai this time, he was in charge of receiving the Japanese Military Police Headquarters, and the Special Higher Education Course couldn't get involved at all. Moreover, the reception staff selected by the Military Police Headquarters were in this Heng Yuan
Before General Yuan left Shanghai, he was not allowed to leave the place where Heng Yuan was staying. My insider spent a lot of effort to find out this information. Before you took action, this information was enough to sell it for a good price on the black market."
It has to be said that Hans's ability to collect intelligence is very strong. One day ago, Tang Cheng only knew the name Yokomoto Ichiro. A day later, he got more detailed information. The summary of the information Hans gave to Tang Cheng was pretty good.
In detail, after reading this compiled information, Tang Cheng finally had a preliminary understanding of the Japanese major general named Yokomoto Ichiro, and he finally knew why the military command headquarters wanted him to assassinate this man.
This Japanese major general named Yokomoto Ichiro was not actually an officer in the combat force. Yokomoto Ichiro, who was nominally affiliated with the Kwantung Army, was an intelligence officer of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in his early years. After the outbreak of the war, Yokomoto Ichiro went north to serve as a bacterial force in the Japanese army.
Logistics supervisor, and was awarded the rank of major general. Yokomoto Ichiro's reputation was not prominent. If the underground party members lurking in the Kwantung Army had not risked their lives to spread the news, perhaps no one would have known that the Japanese army had established a bacterial force outside the Kwantung Army.
Yokomoto Ichiro's visit to Shanghai this time was actually just returning to Japan on a navy ship from Shanghai. The military command headquarters suspected that this Yokomoto Ichiro was not only returning to Japan to report on his duties, but he was also probably carrying information related to the germ force in preparation.
He returned to his hometown to make a detailed report to his superiors. Tang Cheng, who was looking through the information, had not yet understood the second mission of the military command headquarters. He simply planned to kill Yokomoto Ichiro in Shanghai.
"Tang, I'm not optimistic about your action this time!" As an intelligence provider, Hans was worried that his friend Tang Cheng would get into trouble because of this assassination operation. He also held on to some illusions and tried to persuade Tang Cheng to change this unfair situation.
A reliable decision. Han
Si's persuasion only made Tang Cheng's eyebrows slightly raised. If Hans had said this before Tang Cheng opened this summary of information, Tang Cheng might have changed his decision. But now, this Yokomoto Ichiro has become Tang Cheng's sure-fire target.
"Hey! We are old friends after all. Fortunately, I worked hard to help you find the information. Did you just turn around and leave without saying thank you?" The purpose of Tangcheng's visit to Hans was to get the information.
Now that he had obtained the information related to Yokomoto Ichiro, Tang Cheng no longer had the mood to stay here. But before he could turn around and leave, Hans started shouting. He really didn’t think highly of Tang Cheng.
To assassinate Yokomoto Ichiro.
Tang Cheng, who had already stood up, did not speak. Instead, when he walked to the door of the office, he turned around and made a cheering gesture to Hans. After getting the information, Tang Cheng had no shortage of weapons and equipment.
After leaving Hans' restaurant, Tang Cheng immediately returned to the hotel and made a comprehensive disguise for himself. Heng Yuan Ichiro came to Shanghai for two days and stayed in the Hongkou District, which was tightly controlled by the Japanese army. If Tang Cheng wanted to successfully assassinate
This Heng Yuan Ichiro must first enter Hongkou District.
When Tang Cheng came to Shanghai this time, he also brought a fake identity document that he had used many times before. This time, he planned to repeat his old trick and pretend to be a Japanese expatriate who came to Shanghai to seek life. Thanks to the previous times, he sneaked into Hongkou
With the district’s experience, Tangcheng spent no effort at all after disguising himself. With his fluent Japanese and the certificate that had been used many times, he successfully passed the Japanese army’s checkpoint and entered Hongkou District. Among the intelligence provided by Hans, there was Ichiro Yokomoto
The specific location in Hongkou District is that there is no way in Tangcheng to get close to where Heng Yuan Ichiro lives.
Looking at the Japanese military police patrolling outside Yokomoto Ichiro's residence from a distance, Tang Cheng did not choose to continue approaching, but immediately turned around and left. Knowing that something cannot be done but still forcefully doing it is called recklessness rather than bravery. Tang Cheng has always believed that he is not brave.
He was not a reckless person. What he saw in front of him did not allow Tang Cheng to take any action, so Tang Cheng planned to do the same as before, waiting for it to get dark and using the cover of night to sneak in here quietly.
Hongkou District, which was tightly controlled by the Japanese army, was not a concession. The concession was filled with refugees and gangsters.
However, military police patrols appear from time to time. If Tangcheng wants to wait for it to get dark in such an environment, it is impossible to just hang out on the streets. The only solution is to find a place to live and settle down temporarily. In front of Tangcheng
Several times he sneaked into Hongkou District, using a false identity and staying directly in a hotel in Hongkou District, but this time, he did not intend to do so.
There is a Korean resistance organization hiding in Hongkou District. Hans personally told Tang Cheng before he left the restaurant, and Hans also thoughtfully told him the two addresses he knew. The Korean National Salvation Army has the most active activities in China.
The most active place is Shanghai. After the outbreak of the war, some members of the Korean National Salvation Army followed the National Government to withdraw from Shanghai, and some of their people were lurking in Hongkou District. However, the impact of Tangcheng on the Korean National Salvation Army was not good.
, and he has used the Korean National Salvation Army before, and this time will naturally be no exception.
By asking passers-by, Tang Cheng quickly found the kimchi restaurant Hans mentioned. This kind of shop with a front store and a back store made Tang Cheng secretly happy. Both the boss and the clerk in the kimchi store were women, although
Tangcheng heard that they spoke Korean, but their clothes were Japanese. It could be seen that the business of this kimchi shop was good. Residents living in Hongkou District came in and out of this kimchi shop from time to time. See you in Tangcheng.
I had no choice but to slowly walk around to the back of the kimchi shop.
In addition to walking through the main entrance, the only way to enter the kimchi shop is through the backyard. Tangcheng didn't want to alarm the people in the kimchi shop, so he had to climb over the back wall. The backyard of the kimchi shop is not big, and there are many kimchi jars.
After quietly climbing over the wall, Tang Cheng took a closer look at the situation in the backyard, then ducked out from behind the kimchi jar used to cover his body and hid directly in the utility room in the backyard. Looking at the mess in the utility room,
But after entering Tangcheng, a sudden palpitation flashed through my heart.
Something is wrong! Tang Cheng, who was squatting half-crouched and already holding a Luger pistol in his hand, seemed motionless, but his eyes were actually observing the situation in the utility room quickly. The utility room seemed normal, and Tang Cheng was not.
I didn't see anything unusual, but I don't know why. Tang Cheng, who was in the utility room at the moment, felt that something was wrong here. Tang Cheng was not a suspicious person, and this sudden strange feeling had already
He has saved Tang Cheng’s life many times, so Tang Cheng must treat it with caution.
Tang Cheng secretly slowed down his breathing, and his whole body quickly
Entering a mysterious realm, it was as if everything had slowed down. Tang Cheng could even clearly see the dust slowly floating in the light. An inaudible breathing sound soon entered Tang Cheng's ears.
Cheng tilted his head slightly, and what he saw in his sight was an old wooden box. There must be something weird about this box! After noticing the strangeness, Tang Cheng slowly tilted his mouth and showed a smile, raised his hands, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the box.
box.
The box that Tang Cheng pointed at with his pistol didn't look very big. It was impossible for such a box to hide a big living person. Seeing that the box was placed directly on the ground, Tang Cheng was more inclined to think that the person was hiding under the box.
Place. Tang Cheng, who has watched the movie "Tunnel War" more than once in later generations, is not unfamiliar with tunnels. Moreover, when he used the Korean National Salvation Army before, he found that the Korean National Salvation Army was very keen on digging under their residences.
typical.
This kimchi shop was a secret stronghold of the Korean National Salvation Army in Hongkou District, so Tang Cheng concluded that there was a high possibility of a tunnel or a hole under the box. Slowly approaching the box, Tang Cheng held a gun in his right hand and stretched out
His left hand was about to open the box. At this moment, Tang Cheng, who had already touched the lid of the box with his left hand, suddenly heard someone talking in the yard, and it sounded like the voice was coming from the utility room. The voice became clearer and clearer, although Tang Cheng
He didn't understand Korean, but he could tell that the speakers were two people, a man and a woman.
He quickly glanced at the utility room and found that there was no place for him to hide in the utility room. Tang Cheng simply gritted his teeth and opened the lid of the box in front of him. As expected by Tang Cheng, the wood placed directly on the ground
The box was just a decoration. When he opened the lid, Tang Cheng saw a dark cave entrance at the bottom of the box. Hearing voices in his ears, they had already appeared at the door of the utility room. Tang Cheng jumped in without thinking.
In the box.
The box was used to cover the hole. Tang Cheng stepped into the box with his left foot and stepped on the top of the ladder. Tang Cheng, who had calmed down a little, immediately moved down the ladder in the hole. In the end, he did not forget to close the box.
After entering the cave, Tang Cheng found that the ladder was not very long, about three or four meters long. Then when he landed with his feet on the ground, he discovered that a tunnel had been dug out to the right of the cave. The tunnel that Tang Cheng saw after opening the triple eyepiece
It was not straight, so he couldn't tell how long the tunnel was. He faintly heard the door of the utility room above his head being opened. With no room left at this moment, he could only bite the bullet and move deeper into the tunnel.
