The middle-aged man who was called Uncle Goat by the young man glared at him, opened his mouth and scolded, "I said that you kid is also a dignified company, a person who has been to school and drank foreign ink, and the goods in his stomach are much coarser than those of us like us. The young man was not annoyed when he touched his nose, but the men walking next to him couldn't help but laugh.

"Laugh at the fart, you guys change the way you walk, damn, you know at a glance that you are carrying guns, look at the people on the street, there is one like you who straightens his waist? Dog, do you still think this street is a playground in our barracks? Give Lao Tzu all the momentum. The middle-aged man had to put a dirty word in every sentence, and the few men who couldn't help but snicker didn't even dare to raise their heads, if they hadn't looked at the many people around them, I'm afraid the middle-aged men would have slapped them on the back of the head.

As long as someone looks closely, the walking posture of their group is indeed not quite the same as that of others, not to mention the murderous aura they carry between their gestures, that is, the frequency and posture of several people walking are exactly the same, no wonder the middle-aged man wants to scold. At first, a few people still walked the streets like others, but as they walked, they faintly became two columns, and everyone's stride was almost the same, didn't this clearly tell others that they were soldiers?

"A few of you dogs are scolded, Uncle Goat is a veteran pole in our company, even I, the company commander, have to be respectful and afraid, you guys still dare to rush up to the top, you deserve it." Watching the middle-aged man scolding these guys under him, the young man continued to cheer on the fire in a low voice, and sure enough, before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged man called Uncle Goat glared again, and the two boys who were close to each other also received a chestnut slap.

The group of people who rescued Tangcheng are all from the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division of the National Army, the young man headed by him is called Xie Bo, is a captain and company commander, and the middle-aged man who is called Uncle Goat by the young man is called Liu Cunyi, when he was young, his family was poor and lived by free-range to the landlord's family, and later he was arrested and entered the army to make a living. On the contrary, few people know Liu Cunyi's real name.

After the Lugou Bridge, war between China and Japan was inevitable, and although Chairman Chiang Kai-shek was still counting on the mediation of the international community, the various units under the command of the Nationalist Government had already begun to be mobilized and assembled under the command of the Ministry of Military Affairs. As early as 1932, during the 128th Shanghai Anti-Japanese War, the elite 88th Division of the National Army had made great contributions and was one of the few elite troops in the hands of the Nationalist Government. It was no accident that the men of the 88th Division appeared in Shanghai this time, and more than 10,000 officers and men of the whole division rushed to Shanghai after receiving orders, and they also came with the 87th Division, which is also the elite of the national army.

After the Lugou Bridge Incident in 1937, the Japanese army actively planned to occupy Shanghai while expanding the war in North China. On 9 August, Lieutenant Yuo Oyama and soldier Saito Yoshizo of the Japanese Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai drove into the Hongqiao military airfield to provoke and were shot dead by Chinese soldiers. The Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai used this as an excuse to blackmail the Chinese government into withdrawing the Shanghai security forces and removing all fortifications. After Japan's unreasonable demand was rejected by China, it mobilized 4,000 marines stationed in Shanghai and more than 10,000 people from the "Japanese Overseas Chinese Volunteer Corps" to prepare for war.

On the 11th of the same month, Zhang Zhizhong, commander of the Beijing-Shanghai garrison, led the 87th and 88th Divisions to Shanghai to deploy defenses north of Yangshupu and Hongkou, and the main force of the Chinese Air Force also began to assemble from North China to the direction of Shanghai. Among more than a dozen people, only the veteran Liu Goat has been to Shanghai, but that was a few years ago, and now Shanghai has changed a lot, and Liu Goat wants to find a place he is familiar with but has no clue.

The group easily found Xinmin Road and then walked east along Xinmin Road, and soon came to the Baoshan Road intersection, which was the Japanese concession in front. It is not accurate to say that this is the Japanese Concession, and it is accurate to say that it should be the Japanese occupation area of the Public Concession, which has to start from the 128th Shanghai Anti-Japanese War in the 21st year of the Republic of China. The Shanghai Concession was expanded several times, and finally took shape in the thirties, encompassing almost the entire urban area of Shanghai, but the Nationalist Government only controlled the Zhabei and Nanshi districts, and the entire concession was roughly divided into the French Concession and the Public Concession, with the French Concession in the south and the Public Concession in the north.

The public concession is divided into the central district, the west district, the north district and the east district, of which the north and east districts are north of Suzhou Creek, after the 128th Shanghai Anti-Japanese War, the Nationalist Government and the Japanese government signed the Songhu Armistice Agreement, the Nationalist Government is not allowed to garrison troops in Shanghai, and the north and east districts of the public concession are actually controlled by Japan, and Baoshan Road is the dividing line between the Chinese and Japanese concessions. At the intersection of Xinmin Road and Baoshan Road, there were Japanese sentry posts and barricades, but the wooden barricades wrapped in wire were open, and two Japanese soldiers were standing guard with rifles on their backs, but they turned a blind eye to the endless flow of people in front of them.

"Damn, it's really strange today? Why can't you see any Japanese people on the street? Didn't you know that our 88th Division was here, and we all rushed back to their hometown? The group walked all the way, but they didn't see a single Japanese, and Xie Bo, who came to the bottom of the reconnaissance mission, was naturally a little disappointed. Is it a young man, Xie Bo's disappointment was evident on his face, and Liu Goat, who was walking next to him, hurriedly played Ha Lu Ha to amuse, trying to divert Xie Bo's attention, but looking at Xie Bo's expression, his efforts should have been in vain, because Xie Bo's brows were already furrowed.

"yes, where are all the Japanese? It's kind of weird. When Liu Goat tried to divert Xie Bo's attention, he didn't know that Xie Bo himself was also muttering to himself in his heart. Shanghai is a metropolis, Baoshan Road is a Japanese theater here, it stands to reason that there should be a lot of Japanese expatriates or Japanese soldiers here, they have already reached the barricades in the Japanese theater, but except for the two Japanese soldiers standing guard, they haven't seen a single Japanese, this thing is indeed weird, Xie Bo seems to smell the smell of conspiracy, but he still doesn't know what this conspiracy is.

Xie Bo was the company commander and the commander of this reconnaissance mission, and when he stopped, the others naturally stopped. The people who followed Xie Bo to carry out the reconnaissance mission were all the good men of their 2nd Company, and as soon as everyone's footsteps stopped, they naturally surrounded Xie Bo in the middle, and the fast one had already put his hand on the handle of the gun hidden under his clothes. The group of people who were already attracting attention were even more noticeable due to Xie Bo's hesitation and the natural reactions of his soldiers, especially the one who was looking left and right with his hand on his waist.

Although Xie Bo and his party stopped, their actual location was only a dozen meters away from the two Japanese soldiers standing guard, and as long as they drew their guns and shot at such a distance, the two Japanese soldiers would definitely become corpses, not to mention that Xie Bo and they had more than a dozen short guns. The change in the aura of more than a dozen people made the two Japanese soldiers standing guard frequently look sideways, but they did not make a verbal warning or normal warning action, just looked at the statue-like standing straight in front of them, if it weren't for the violent rise and fall of their chests, everyone would definitely regard them as two statues and not real people.

"Huh?" Xie Bo naturally also noticed the strange performance of these two Japanese soldiers, in Xie Bo's impression, the Japanese, especially the Japanese soldiers with weapons, are not so easy to speak, saying that the sow can go up the tree Xie Bo may believe it, but if it is said that the Japanese put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot, Xie Bo will not believe it. But now these two Japanese soldiers standing guard turned a blind eye to their own group, as long as they were not blind, they could see that their group was not a good man and a woman, but the two Japanese soldiers standing guard the barricade kept pretending not to see themselves, and Xie Bo's doubts in his heart deepened.

"Take the most elite people of your 2nd Company, you must figure out what the Japanese army in Shanghai is doing and what you want to do, and don't fall into the name of our 88th Division." This is when Xie Bo accepted the mission, the battalion commander conveyed the words of the regiment commander, and Xie Bo, who was bent on meeting the Japanese, kept it firmly in his heart. Xie Bo is a young man with a lively mind, and he is also a protégé of the Son of Heaven who was born in Huangpu, has received systematic study and training, and is also the youngest and most courageous among all the battalion and company commanders of the 524th Regiment, so the regiment decided to carry it out as soon as he received the order from the division headquarters.

Xie Bo is an ambitious person in his career, but if he wants to go further, he must get the corresponding military merits, when he received this task, Xie Bo was ready to wander in danger, but now the situation he encountered made him puzzled, and the thoughts in his stomach disappeared in an instant like seeing the dew of the poisonous sun. "Damn" Xie Bo suddenly burst out with a foul word, and then moved his gaze to the Japanese Theater Concession behind the barricade, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and at this moment he made a bold decision, a decision that a normal person would never make, he wanted to break back to the so-called Japanese Concession with a gun.
