Another tumultuous day passed.

Today, the plainclothes team of No. 76 had another fierce exchange of fire with the Sassoon guards in the Public Concession, and the result of the exchange of fire still made Ding Mo Chuen and Tang Huimin feel helpless.

The Sassoon guards turned out not to be fooled.

They threw in the bait again and again, trying to lure the Sassoon guards to Hongkou, but the Sassoon guards seemed to have seen through their scheme, so they only ate the bait, but absolutely refused to set foot in the Japanese-occupied area.

Today, the two squads that served as bait were once again bloodied by the Sassoon guards, and more than 100 people, and in the end, less than 30 people came back alive.

Yan Ling didn't say anything, but Pan Ren and Han Ze couldn't bear it anymore.

Yan Ling's special service team had good skills and marksmanship, and the casualties were not large, and almost all of them came back, but Pan Ren and Han Ze's men suffered heavy casualties.

They were very worried that if they continued like this, the First Brigade and the Second Brigade would cease to exist.

So after coming back, Han Ze and Pan Ren rarely hit the director's office in Ding Mo Estate together.

Coincidentally, Tang Huimin is also in the office of Ding Mo Estate.

As soon as he entered the door, Pan Ren took the lead in complaining: "Director, Director Tang, you can't do this, the Sassoon guards are ghostly, they are not fooled at all!" ”

"yes." Han Ze also said, "The Sassoon Guards are too cunning, it doesn't take the bait all the time, and if it continues to fish like this, it won't be able to catch it even if the bait is eaten up, so I think we have to change the way." ”

"Another way? It's lightweight. Tang Huimin said angrily, "You say, what is the other way?" ”

"Isn't that easy?" Han Ze said, "The concession authorities and Western governments prohibit the imperial army from entering the concession, but as long as the imperial army takes off its military uniform and changes into our plain clothes of No. 76, isn't there no problem?" Even if the concession authorities knew about it, we could excuse it as a civilian armed force. ”

"That's a good idea." Tang Huimin first praised him, then turned his face again, and yelled at Han Ze, "But you went to tell the imperial army yourself?" ”

Han Ze subconsciously turned his face away, so as not to be sprayed by Tang Huimin.

"Okay, don't mess around with bad ideas, the imperial army will not easily get involved in the concession, you two go down first." Ding Mochun waved his hand and drove the two out of the office like flies.

After driving away Han Ze and the two, Ding Mocun said to Tang Huimin again: "Brother Huimin, if the situation continues to deteriorate, I'm afraid we can only ask the imperial army to take action." ”

Tang Huimin shook his head and said, "Lao Ding, you don't know, in fact, I have already probed General Yamada's tone." ”

"Oh, really?" Ding Mocun knew that General Yamada that Tang Huimin was talking about was Yamada Otosan, the commander of the Central China Front, and immediately said, "What did General Yamada say?" ”

Tang Huimin said: "General Yamada said that at present, the climate of the Sassoon Guards has become a good thing, and if the Japanese army is rashly sent in, whether they wear military uniforms or not, it is very likely to trigger a large-scale war, and even if the Japanese army occupies the two concessions in Shanghai, even if the Western powers swallow this bitter fruit, Shanghai will most likely be reduced to ruins." ”

After a pause, Tang Huimin said again: "What the Japanese want is a bustling metropolis, not a ruin, Lao Ding, do you understand?" ”

"I see." Ding Mochun sighed, "The Japanese are also raising tigers, if they were the first to exterminate the Sassoon Guards with a thunderous force at the first time, that is, when the Sassoon Guards were first established, how could there be so many broken things now?" Now we are almost unable to gain a foothold in the concession on the 76th. ”

"You can't blame the Japanese for being sluggish." Tang Huimin said, "Who the fuck would have thought that that Mi Guoyan George could make such a big battle in such a short period of time?" ”

"Speaking of which, I also find it strange." Ding Mocun said, "Those veterans of the national army stranded in Shanghai are very arrogant in their bones, and it is not that there are no rich foreigners who have recruited them before, and even the Qing Gang has beaten their ideas, but except for a very few people like Han Ze who have no integrity, the vast majority of national army veterans would rather starve to death than accept recruitment, but this time, how did they all accept George's solicitation one by one?" ”

"Huh......" Tang Huimin said, "Lao Ding, when you say that, we seem to have ignored important clues?" ”

After a pause, Tang Huimin said again: "I really didn't expect it before, but after you said this, I found that so many veterans of the national army accepted George's recruitment, and it is really abnormal, could there be any other mystery in this?" For example, did Chongqing give instructions to these veterans? ”

"Not really." Ding Mochun said, "I have already checked this. ”

After a pause, Ding Mocun said: "I have secretly tied up a few veterans a long time ago, and tortured them, their statements are completely consistent, they said, the soldiers have spoken, temporarily accommodate themselves in the Sassoon Guard, raise soldiers, and wait until the opportunity comes, and then pull the troops outside to fight guerrilla warfare, that is to say, they are also vain." ”

Tang Huimin said: "The snake is still beating so hard, it's really damn good." ”

Ding Mocun sighed: "This is mainly because our people are too unbeaten, don't you see that the special service team is fine?" There were almost no casualties in so many operations. ”

Tang Huimin said: "In other words, there is no better way for us to continue fishing." ”

"Seems like so." Ding Mochun nodded, and then continued, "At least for now, there is no better way. ”

"Okay, then I know, I'll get off work first." After Tang Huimin finished speaking, he grabbed the wide-brimmed hat from the coat rack and walked out.

Ding Merton sent Tang Huimin to the door of the office, and specially advised: "Brother Huimin, you must be careful on the road, it is best to let Yan Ling personally escort you back." ”

"No, you don't." Tang Huimin waved his hand and said, "The target of the front and back hugging is too big, but it is more dangerous, and the light car is actually safer." ”

Seeing that Tang Huimin didn't listen to persuasion, Ding Mocun didn't say anything more.

Seeing off Tang Huimin, Ding Mochun returned to the office to read the newspaper for a while, and then prepared to go back to the safe room to sleep.

At this moment, the phone on the big table suddenly rang, and Ding Mocun grabbed the telephone microphone casually and said, "This is No. 76, who are you?" ”

"Ding-san, it's me, Hatoda Taka." On the other end of the phone, Hatoda Taka said a little stiff.

"General Hatota!" Ding Mochun subconsciously straightened up and said, "What do you have orders from Your Excellency General?" ”

Hatoda said, "I'm at Yoshinoya diagonally across from your seventy-sixth, you come to see me right away, I have something very important to discuss with you!" ”

"Okay, I'll be right there." Ding Mochun put down the phone and hurriedly put on his suit.

Then grab the wide-brimmed top hat from the coat rack and buckle it on your head, then turn and walk out.
