The New Year is getting closer.

Although this land is suffering from the war, the traditional festival of Spring Festival is the most important festival for every Chinese.

No matter how difficult it is, you must pass the year.

Save all the worries for the next year.

Although Shanghai was subjected to three months of fighting, it was not damaged much in the public concession, and the flavor of the New Year was still very strong in the city.

Foreigners who have lived in China for many years are also willing to participate in this annual feast for Chinese.

"Well, don't worry, I'm fine here. It's okay, some colleagues in the unit are celebrating the New Year with me. I'm going to be overwhelmed for a while, and I'll ask the boss to get over it as soon as possible. The phone bill is quite expensive, help me kiss the children. Well, goodbye. ”

Wu Jingyi hung up the phone.

The telephone between Shanghai and Hong Kong was opened in February 1937, a full year later than the telephone between Shanghai and Tokyo. Moreover, the telephone bill is extremely expensive, and if it is not a particularly important matter, everyone would rather choose to contact by telegram.

Her husband lives in Hong Kong with her children, and until now, she doesn't know Wu Jingyi's true identity.

Wu Jingyi's husband also didn't know that his wife, who was usually weak and devoted to taking care of the family, was actually a heroine who made the Japanese tremble, and a great man who commanded countless agents.

Under the mediation of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of the Public Concession, the Chinese and Japanese secret services temporarily stopped the bloody assassination and anti-assassination that had lasted for three months.

The Shanghai Public Concession has temporarily entered a period of peace.

It's just that no one can say how long this period of peace can be maintained.

Maybe an hour later, an occasional misfire** will quickly involve Shanghai in the war.

"Report."

"Come in."

Ye Rong walked in: "Jing'an Temple's 'Old Dongpu Pharmacy', there are three new Japanese spies...... On Yuyuan Road, when a group of our agents were tracking, they had a head-on confrontation with the Japanese and slightly injured one person, and the patrol room took everyone away and asked for an hour to release ...... In addition, in the vicinity of the Japanese Consulate, our surveillance agents were ordered to change the guard......"

What seems to be a trivial matter constitutes the whole of the struggle between the enemy and us in the Shanghai Public Concession.

"Let our people try to exercise restraint as much as possible." After listening to the report, Wu Jingyi said: "Also, get in touch with Secretary Cheng of District Chang Zhou, although the situation is relatively stable now, it has become more complicated......"

Perhaps influenced by Meng Shaoyuan, Wu Jingyi also attaches great importance to cultivating new talents. Shen Li and Ye Rong, a group of agents who were only transferred from Chóng Qìng, are Wu Jingyi's key training targets.

If she has free time, Wu Jingyi will find authentic old Shanghainese, teach them pure Shanghainese, and tell them some special living habits and customs of Shanghai.

They will live here for a long time to come, and since that is the case, they will have to integrate into the city quickly.

Anything else is fine, but more than half of the new agents are Chóng Qìng natives, and it's too difficult to learn Shanghainese from Chóng Qìng.

But Wu Jingyi is almost harsh in this matter.

"I don't want you to stay in Shanghai, I want you to be integrated with Shanghai, and I want to make the other party think that you grew up in Shanghai when you are on a mission. Shen Li, your hometown accent is very strong, and as soon as others hear it, they will know that you are from Chóng Qìng. What is Chóng Qìng? In our big rear, your opponents will naturally become wary of you when they hear your accent, which can make your mission extremely difficult. ”

That's what Wu Jingyi said to these new agents.

These people all studied very hard, especially Shen Li, who was almost harsh on himself. He wrote down some difficult Shanghainese dialects in a homophonic way, and whenever he had time, he would take out the notebook to practice, whether it was day or night.

And when he encounters those local spies in Shanghai, he will always pestering each other to learn to speak.

The most talented of these people is Ye Rong. It didn't take much effort for her to learn Shanghainese dialect well, and she also mastered the dress, tone, and lifestyle of fashionable women in Shanghai.

Talent is such a thing, I can't envy it.

Some people work hard and can't do as well as they want, but some people, playing and playing, don't see how hard she works, and they have far surpassed her peers.

"News came from the swallow detachment of my guerrilla that Meng Shaoyuan had left Nanjing, counting the time, if the road went well, he would now have entered Shanghai."

This is the contact title that Meng Shao originally thought of.

The Swallow Detachment was a guerrilla detachment commanded by Zhu Yanni.

When Ye Rong heard this, she immediately said: "The most difficult thing is how to enter the public concession through the Japanese control area. Commander-in-chief, do you want to send personnel to respond? ”

"No need, no one is more familiar with Shanghai than the commander-in-chief." Wu Jingyi wasn't worried about this: "What's more, we still have a large number of agents active in the Japanese control area, and Director Meng will think of a way to do it himself." ”

Ye Rong found that these old agents in the Shanghai Public Concession all had a heartfelt, even almost blind trust in Director Meng.

In their opinion, there seems to be nothing that Director Meng cannot do.

It's just that Wu Jingyi seems to be a little cold, right? Anyway, Director Meng is their supreme commander, and now the commander is still in great danger from the Japanese control area to the public concession, she is really not worried at all?

"Alright, let's get to work."

Wu Jingyi said expressionlessly.

As soon as Ye Rong left, Wu Jingyi signed her name on a file, and then picked up the phone: "Mr. Sollatus, I'm Wu Jingyi, please send me a few patrols and arrange them at the south entrance to the public concession." Ok thanks. ”

Hung up the phone, took a pistol out of a drawer and put it in his bag.

……

The black sedan waited there calmly.

It's been two hours.

Wu Jingyi sat in the car so calmly.

According to the agreement between himself and Meng Shaoyuan, once he could not return to Shanghai according to the normal route, then he would enter the public concession from here.

Wu Jingyi will be personally responsible for the response.

In the entire military command of Shanghai's hidden area, anyone can have an accident, only Meng Shaoyuan can't have an accident. No one knows this better than Wu Jingyi.

It's just that she can't show it in front of her subordinates.

She wants everyone to know that one person's life is far less than the good of the whole.

Several patrols walked back and forth not far away, and that was just in case.

Thirty minutes to go.

If it doesn't happen after that point, then it's going to be tomorrow.

Fixed place, fixed time.

There will be no exceptions.

Time passed minute by minute.

Why hasn't it come yet?

Could something be wrong?

At this time, Wu Jingyi seemed calm and calm on the surface, but in fact, she was more nervous than anyone else.

The patrolmen tapped their watches to the point, meaning that it was time to get off work.

Wu Jingyi rolled down the window and nodded.

The rangers left.

They don't take the initiative to work overtime.

It looks like it won't come today.

Just as Wu Jingyi was about to leave, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the car window:

"To Albelu?"
