After Hans carefully considered Tang Cheng's suggestion, he finally sent a telegram back to Berlin to truthfully report the situation in Shanghai. The leak of news about the new weapons had come to an end, and Tang Cheng, who was basically fine, began to prepare to leave.
Things happened in Shanghai, but at this moment, Bai Zhanshan suddenly activated the dead mailbox to contact Tang Cheng. Seeing the emergency mark under the dead mailbox, Tang Cheng had no choice but to go to a cafe in the French Concession to meet Bai Zhanshan at the agreed time.
When Tang Cheng rushed to the cafe, Bai Zhanshan, who was dressed in a suit, had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Tang Cheng coming in, Bai Zhanshan just gave a vague wink. Tang Cheng sat down behind Bai Zhanshan and told him about the cafe.
After the waiter, Tang Cheng pretended to read the newspaper and asked Bai Zhanshan softly. "Uncle Bai, are you so anxious to see me? Did something happen?"
Bai Zhanshan, who turned his eyes to the shop window facing the street, chuckled upon hearing this, "Let's just say you are a smart man! News came from the headquarters that a senior official of the Japanese Kwantung Army will be coming to Shanghai in the near future and is preparing to board a warship from Shanghai to return to Japan.
The headquarters wants us to intercept and kill this high-ranking official of the Kwantung Army in Shanghai. You also know that the current situation at Shanghai Station is difficult, so I want to ask for your help!" Bai Zhanshan explained the purpose of his visit honestly and politely, but Tang Cheng did not answer immediately after hearing this.
.
Tang Cheng did not answer after hearing the words, and Bai Zhanshan also remained silent, quietly waiting for Tang Cheng's reaction. After a while, while waiting for the waiter in the cafe to bring coffee to Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng finally spoke in a low voice. "
Uncle Bai, you know me. I don’t want to get too involved with your military commander because of my mother’s wishes. I believe I have done enough when I come to Shanghai this time. According to my plan, I will return in the next few days.
I'm in Chongqing, but you suddenly come to me like this, it's hard for me!"
Hearing that Tang Cheng seemed to mean to refuse, Bai Zhanshan became a little anxious, but before he could speak, Tang Cheng continued. "But since you, Uncle Bai, have spoken, I still have to give you this face! How about that?"
Okay, you provide me with the necessary information, and I will carry out the specific actions. As for the action plan, you don’t have to worry about it, I will act according to your ultimate goal!"
"At this time tomorrow, we will still meet here. I want to get relevant intelligence information." Tang Cheng put down the coffee he had only drank a sip and stood up without giving Bai Zhanshan a chance to speak. Bai Zhanshan felt helpless.
He could only swallow the words that reached his lips. He knew that if it weren't for the personal relationship between him and Zhang Jianghe, maybe Tang Cheng wouldn't have done it at all just now.
I will promise myself.
Tangcheng, who was already preparing to leave Shanghai, suddenly received a new mission. No matter who it was, he would feel uncomfortable. After leaving the cafe, he felt extremely melancholy and wandered around the concession without any purpose.
Get up. Almost two hours passed, and Tang Cheng felt a little better. He casually found a place to eat on the street, and then he began to think about what Bai Zhanshan said.
According to Tangcheng's understanding of Juntong, Juntong also has intelligence stations outside the Pass. Although the size and number of the intelligence stations outside the Pass are not comparable to the Shanghai station, the intelligence agents deployed by the Juntong outside the Pass are not mediocre people. But why did Juntong want to kill them?
The target was not solved directly outside the customs, but it had to be eliminated here in Shanghai? Tang Cheng suddenly realized that he had left the cafe too suddenly before and did not ask Bai Zhanshan carefully about the reason.
One day passed quickly. At the same time as yesterday, Tang Cheng went to the cafe again. As expected, Bai Zhanshan was waiting here early. The difference from yesterday was that as soon as Tang Cheng entered the door today, Bai Zhanshan, still dressed in a suit, came early.
He said hello and motioned for Tang Cheng to sit with him. Tang Cheng, who was fearless in his heart, did not show any surprise and just sat down opposite Bai Zhanshan.
"There is not much information transferred from the headquarters. Yesterday I asked my people to collect some more. I hope it can be helpful." After Tang Cheng ordered coffee from the waiter in the cafe, Bai Zhanshan went straight to the topic. It was just what he said.
The intelligence information was actually just two pages. "When the target was in the Kwantung Army, he always lived in seclusion, so we don't have much relevant information on hand." Bai Zhanshan's words made Tang Cheng secretly raise his eyebrows.
Tang Cheng calmly opened the two pieces of paper and glanced at them briefly. He found that the only useful information in this intelligence information was the name of the target, his military rank and the time he came to Shanghai. "This thing is basically useless!" he secretly said.
Tang Cheng curled his lips, and then handed the two pieces of paper back to Bai Zhanshan. "That photo is just a side face, and it doesn't even have the target's height characteristics. No wonder you said yesterday that Shanghai Station can't do anything!"
Bai Zhanshan is also a veteran in intelligence work. How could he not understand the meaning of Tang Cheng's words? His face immediately turned red, but he didn't
Explained. "Forget it, I won't embarrass you anymore! Fortunately, I already know the specific time when the target will come to Shanghai. I will do the rest! There is only one thing, the weapons and equipment needed for the operation, but you are needed
Come provide it! And I may need some fried yao, which requires you to come up with a solution, and the amount cannot be less than 2 kilograms."
When Tang Cheng mentioned fried yao, Bai Zhanshan felt his heart skip a beat. Especially when Tang Cheng said he needed 2 kilograms of fried yao, Bai Zhanshan almost couldn't help but jump out of his chair. "You want so much."
What are you doing with the explosive yao?" It's not that Bai Zhanshan can't get 2 kilograms of explosive yao, he just doesn't understand what Tangcheng needs so much explosive yao for. If it's just a simple assassination operation, Bai Zhanshan feels there is no need to use explosive yao.
Something powerful.
Hearing this, Tang Cheng did not answer Bai Zhanshan directly. Instead, he glanced sideways at Bai Zhanshan and then said slowly, "Uncle Bai, why do things that can be solved outside the customs have to be done in Shanghai? Uncle Bai, do you think this matter is very important?"
Is it easy to do? Then I'd better leave it to you, Shanghai Station, to handle it yourself!" Tang Cheng's answer left Bai Zhanshan speechless. He contacted Tang Cheng urgently, wasn't it just because Shanghai Station didn't have the ability to perform this task?
Moreover, strictly speaking, Tang Cheng is not a member of the military commander. Tang Cheng came to Shanghai to help because of the bureau chief and Zhang Jianghe's face. He, Bai Zhanshan, is not qualified to command Tang Cheng to do this or that! If he has the opportunity,
Tang Cheng was not polite when he caught Bai Zhanshan and asked for something. Not only did he ask for 2 kilograms of explosives, but he also asked for two m1911 pistols, more than a hundred rounds of pistol ammunition and fifty rounds of Mauser rifle ammunition.
"Uncle Bai, according to my estimation, after the target comes to Shanghai, he will probably live in Hongkou District. If you want to kill the target in Hongkou District, the movement will be huge, so if you prepare less ammunition for me, the final result will be
, I can't guarantee it!" Seeing the pained expression on Bai Zhanshan's face, Tang Cheng felt very relieved in his heart, because from the moment he met Bai Zhanshan, Tang Cheng only saw Bai Zhanshan taking advantage of others.
Bai Zhanshan really felt pain in his body, but now he was begging Tang Cheng for help. Although his body hurt, he could only hold his nose and agree. He made an appointment with Bai Zhanshan for the time and place to hand over weapons and ammunition, and Tang Cheng was just like yesterday.
, left the cafe first. Bai Zhanshan was unable to provide detailed information, so Tang Cheng could only look for it again.
Hans, because he helped get rid of Bilski and Coulson, Hans owed Tang Cheng a favor, and now it's time to repay the favor.
Hans's informant in Hongkou District was indeed effective. Before dinner time, Hans had already obtained relevant information. Although from Tangcheng's point of view, this information was not detailed, it was better than what Bai Zhanshan had obtained.
Those two pieces of paper were much more detailed. "Tang, this Shenmu Colonel of the Kwantung Army must be no ordinary person! Although I don't know much about the Kwantung Army, I know that in the Japanese army, a mere colonel should not be equipped with six personal guards.
qualifications!"
Hans reminded that Tang Cheng had already seen from the newly obtained intelligence. Of course he knew that the Kwantung Army commander named Shenmu was not simple, otherwise the military command headquarters would not have ordered this person to be eliminated in Shanghai. "That's why.
People are not simple, that’s why I have to take action! Thank you for your reminder! If you don’t want me to come back, just prepare some ammunition for me! I have a hunch that things may be more troublesome this time!”
The premonition and trouble mentioned by Tang Cheng were actually just to deal with Hans' questioning. However, he did not expect that his joke almost made him stay in Hongkou District. Tang Cheng combined the information provided by Bai Zhanshan and Hans
Based on the two pieces of information, that night, two action plans with different contents were formulated, and action deductions were conducted for both of them. Tangcheng has long been accustomed to doing action deductions before starting the operation. But tonight, Tangcheng repeatedly did
After several action deductions, the final result was a mixed success or failure.
Tang Cheng, who couldn't help feeling a little bored, immediately stood up and walked to the window. He lit a cigarette silently and looked out at the dark night outside the window. Since arriving in Shanghai, Tang Cheng has attacked the Japanese in Hongkou District many times.
He pretended to be a spy and created chaos, but he had never been as unsure about the upcoming action as he was now. After smoking a cigarette, Tang Cheng gradually calmed down, and then refocused his energy and began to think about the previous things.
In the next two days, Tang Cheng successively obtained the weapons and ammunition needed for the operation from Bai Zhanshan and Hans. The equipment bag had grown to more than 30 kilograms, which was enough for Tang Cheng to carry more weapons and ammunition with him.
Weapons and ammunition. The day of the operation is approaching day by day, but the action deduction in Tangcheng is still a mixed success or failure. He has difficulty in making a decision, so he simply interrupts the continuous action deduction. He, who has always been tough, plans to
