The drizzle is misty, the whole of Shanghai is shrouded in rain and fog, the continuous sound of gunfire makes citizens hide in their homes and pray for the blessing of the gods, and there are also people who have to run around for the livelihood of their families hurriedly walk on the streets, and the small white building only a few dozen meters away from the Suzhou Creek is very busy, which is a safe house at the Shanghai Station of the Military Command.

"Tang Cheng, 19 years old, parents unknown, an abandoned baby adopted by American priest Robert while he was a missionary in Shandong, has been living with Robert, and it is reported that two days before the outbreak of the Battle of Shanghai, Robert had just obtained a U.S. passport for Tang Cheng." Xiao Yalan, who had taken off his military uniform and was a student, was holding a document in his hand, and a small photo of Tang Cheng was pasted on the first page. Wang Lantian, who had been to the church, was also dressed in the same uniform, but Xiao Yalan was standing, while Wang Lantian was sitting, and there were several other people in the room.

"Robert, an American, it is reported that this person once joined the army when he was young, and it is unknown why he came to China, but he has lived in Shandong, Henan, and Beiping, and he came to Shanghai after 128." Glancing at Wang Lantian obliquely, Xiao Yalan opened the second page of the information, which contained a small photo of Robert and some information, and after reading the book according to the book, Xiao Yalan closed the information folder and stood silent.

"Okay, I believe you already have a preliminary understanding of Tang Cheng." Seeing that the other people in the room didn't seem to be very interested in Tang Cheng, Wang Lantian, who was presiding over the meeting, smiled, "But these just now are just things that are indicated, and they are information obtained by our people through normal channels, but we also have a piece of information related to Tang Cheng, I believe you will definitely be interested." ”

After receiving Wang Lantian's hint, Xiao Yalan took out a few pieces of paper marked with the word confidential from the folder and held them in his hand, "Tang Cheng, 19 years old, unknown origin, abandoned baby whose parents died, was raised by American priest Robert and received a good education. Tang Cheng was a bold man, who had friends in all three exchanges, and was fluent in English, Japanese, and German, and judged to have been taught by Father Robert. ”

"Two days before the Battle of Shanghai, that is, on the night when Robert obtained an American passport for Tang Cheng, Robert was attacked and poisoned to death by the Japanese, and Tang Cheng, who was guarding his spirit, disappeared for no reason two days later, and was found again in a hospital for wounded soldiers, and it was 24 days later." Xiao Yalan's words made the other people in the room interested, they were all elites of the military command, and analyzing data was their strength.

"We looked for the Red Cross personnel and German nun Emma who escorted Tang Cheng to the hospital that day, and proved that Tang Cheng had fought five Japanese infiltration soldiers who had lost their way and straggled, armed with a shell gun. It is said that Tang Cheng first shot four Japanese soldiers at close range with a shell gun, and then threw a shell gun that had been depleted and smashed the last Japanese soldier, and then subdued the two surviving Japanese soldiers in hand-to-hand combat, who were wounded in many places during the hand-to-hand combat, and there was one with the most serious knife wounds. ”

"Our men searched for all the people who had contact with Tang Cheng that day, but they couldn't find the shell gun, and it was suspected that the German nun Emma hid it and returned it to Tang Cheng, which can be confirmed by the wounded soldiers in the same ward as Tang Cheng." Speaking of the wounded soldiers, Xiao Yalan took out another piece of paper full of handwriting, "This is the oral record of those wounded soldiers, according to them, Tang Cheng also had a bullet abrasion on his thigh, which should have been caused by a Japanese light machine gun, and Tang Cheng likes to inquire about the battlefield and fighting, and the wounded soldiers said that Tang Cheng has the smell of gunpowder and murderous aura on his body, and he should have been on the battlefield." ”

"How? Sounds interesting, right? Wang Lantian, who was holding a cigarette in his hand, smiled very happily, Tang Cheng was the person he tried his best to pull into the military system, and he could see that Tang Cheng was unusual, which showed that he Wang Lantian had a good vision. At the beginning, Wang Lantian paid attention to Tang Cheng only because Xiao Yalan said that Tang Cheng knew Japanese and English, but he didn't expect that the dead Robert actually taught Tang Cheng German, such a guy is a living treasure at all, and letting him mix in the folk is Lang Fei.

"The kind of shell gun used by Tang Cheng, I have found out the corresponding gun type according to the description of the people present at the time, it is a German-made Red9 Mauser pistol, this kind of shell gun is also imported from China, but as far as we know, none of our troops who participated in the Shanghai Campaign this time wore this type of shell gun." Xiao Yalan took out a photo from the folder and handed it to Wang Lantian, which was exactly the same shell gun as the Red9 in Tang Cheng.

"Could it be that Tang Cheng bought it from someone in the gang? It wasn't said just now that Tang Cheng has a wide range of friends, and there should be a lot of gang members among them, they like to use shell guns very much. "The military intelligence officer who asked the question was a former member of the Qing Gang, and the gangs in Shanghai, especially the Qing Gang, were indeed very fond of using shell guns.

"No," Xiao Yalan responded positively to the intelligence officer's question, "The gang people in Shanghai do like Mauser pistols, but this Red9 Mauser pistol uses a bridge instead of a magazine, and its loading method is to fill from the top." It took us three days to find all the people in Shanghai who had access to arms dealing, and it was proved that the pistol used by Tang Cheng had nothing to do with the gangs in Shanghai, but we got an interesting piece of information from a gangster named Mao Wu. ”

"According to Mao Wu, Tang Cheng once bought some 0.45-inch Colt pistol cartridges from him, and according to this clue, we determined that Tang Cheng also had a M1911A1 pistol in his hand. What can be said that Tang Cheng did not directly use the M1911A1 pistol to fire when encountering those 5 Japanese soldiers, but its power was much stronger than the Red9 Mauser pistol. Xiao Yalan's words paused, and deliberately bought a pass for everyone in the room, and after receiving Wang Lantian's signal, Xiao Yalan held back a smile and continued to say the following.

"According to this clue, we found a battlefield remnant that had ended the battle a few blocks away from where Tang Cheng rescued people." Xiao Yalan took out a few more photos and handed them to Wang Lantian and the others, if Tang Cheng was here, he would definitely exclaim, the photos were the battlefield where the miscellaneous companies and the Japanese army were fighting. "We found a M1911A1 pistol on one of the captains of the National Army, but we know that no one in the ranks of the National Army Captain wore such a pistol."

Xiao Yalan seemed to be getting farther and farther away, and the military intelligence officers in the room listening were a little confused, only Wang Lantian, who had already read the report, smiled and remained silent. "A pistol alone doesn't tell the story, but we found a shell holster on a Japanese officer, mind you, an empty holster, and our men searched the whole battlefield and couldn't find the shell gun."

The informants in the audience seemed to hear the connection, but someone asked, "What does this mean?" Could it be that Tang Cheng took the barge gun from the Japanese officer, because his original M1911A1 pistol was greedy by the captain of the national army? Didn't the Japanese army take away the shell gun when they cleaned up the battlefield themselves? He asked a few questions with a reasonable attitude, but there was indeed some truth, and several other intelligence officers nodded their heads again and again.

"You're wrong again" Xiao Yalan laughed directly, "It is impossible for the Japanese army to clean up the battlefield by only taking away a pistol, and when our people felt that battlefield, the people of the national army had just arrived, and the entire battlefield basically remained the same." All the corpses, weapons and ammunition of the Japanese army are there, and there is absolutely no saying that the Japanese army has cleaned up the battlefield. ”

"So that means that Tang Cheng was sent to the hospital for a few days in this ragtag company and fighting against the Japanese army?" The intelligence officer who was ridiculed by Xiao Yalan couldn't care about that much, and immediately said what he thought in his heart, and this time he got Xiao Yalan's nod of affirmation. "Since it was his original authorization that was greedy for ink by the captain, that is to say, Tang Cheng may not voluntarily join the army to fight, but was temporarily captured by the strong man, and then the whole company and the Japanese army were exhausted, and he was the only one who survived, and then rescued the Red Cross people on the way to escape, and was injured and sent to the hospital."

"That's right, after analyzing all the relevant information and clues, we have also come to the same truth, otherwise these things related to Tang Cheng would not make sense." Seeing that someone finally understood the value of these materials in his hands, Xiao Yalan smiled very happily, if he hadn't seen these materials with his own eyes, even Xiao Yalan couldn't have imagined that Tang Cheng actually had the experience of hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army, and Tang Cheng had also fought positional battles with the Japanese army in the formation of the Japanese army.

"Tang Cheng knows English, German and Japanese, and has the experience of fighting with the Japanese army, such a person is urgently needed by our military commander, let you participate in this analysis meeting, is to let you have an understanding of Tang Cheng first, and when Tang Cheng enters our military command Shanghai station, you old men of the military command remember not to be embarrassed for him." Wang Lantian now seems to have regarded Tang Cheng as a part of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, and under his watch, all the intelligence officers of the Military Command present nodded and said yes, Wang Lantian is already the new head of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, and no one with a clear eye dares to touch his moldy head.

"But stationmaster, we have come to the door twice, Tang Cheng is vague every time, if he is still vague this time, what should we do?" Wang Lantian's plan for Tang Cheng was to use three visits to the thatched house, this is the third time, and the executor is Xiao Yalan and two intelligence officers, but Xiao Yalan has no bottom in his heart.

"Don't be afraid, only our sincerity is our sincerity, if this Tang Cheng knows each other, forget it, if he doesn't know each other, you can directly bring him back to me." Wang Lantian took a leisurely puff of cigarette and said with a smile, "Don't forget, Tang Cheng fought with that miscellaneous company, then he is a soldier, if he refuses to come, we will punish him as a deserter, I am not afraid that he will not comply." ”
