"Diya, why are you here? Didn't I ask you to wait for me at Liang Mansion?" Xu Rui asked in surprise.
Xu Rui openly crossed the river from Pukou alone. Of course, it was impossible for the Langya Brigade and the propaganda team to come to Nanjing with Xu Rui. Instead, they planned to pass through the Suzhong Army Division and then sneak into Shanghai from near Qidong via Chongming Island, because in There, there is a secret communication line leading to the Shanghai Special Committee.
Digua winked at Xu Rui and said loudly: "Second Young Master, I'm already waiting impatiently."
Xu Rui immediately understood, and then after paying attention for a moment, he immediately noticed two suspicious people not far from the pier. Although the two tried their best to pretend to be casual, Xu Rui could still tell at a glance that these two guys They were always watching the sweet potato from the corner of their eyes, which meant that they were always staring at the tip of Er Gua.
"Why are you so anxious? It's still early." Xu Rui responded lazily.
As Xu Rui approached, Digua whispered, "Hurry up and buy some fish."
Xu Rui listened carefully and immediately heard someone not far away selling saury. He immediately walked over with sweet potatoes and saw a fisherman hawking the freshly caught Yangtze saury. Xu Rui looked around for a while and found the fish. The dozens of swordfish in the basket were all very fresh, and the longest one weighed at least two pounds.
In the era when Xu Rui traveled through time, Yangtze saury had been sold at sky-high prices.
However, in this era, Yangtze saury is a common commodity and not expensive at all.
Xu Rui took out two pieces of ocean and bought a basket of saury, then handed it to the sweet potato behind him, and then the two of them walked out of the pier in a hurry.
During the whole process, the two tails followed unhurriedly.
Xu Rui walked out and asked, "What's going on with those two tails at the back?"
Digua whispered: "Just now, a comrade from the Nanjing underground party came to meet me. These two tails followed that comrade. It seems that we were exposed at the traffic station in Nanjing. I had already covered him. The comrade at the meeting left first and is now preparing to shake off the two tails behind him."
"Get rid of them?" Xu Rui's eyes flashed with a sharp look, and he said in a deep voice, "It's safer to kill them!"
After finishing speaking, Xu Rui winked at Digua, and Digua nodded knowingly. The two of them walked towards the downtown not far ahead. This downtown is just outside Xiaguan Pier. It is usually very lively, and the morning market is still busy. It becomes even more lively when there is a night market, and the flow of people can be said to be overwhelming and crowded.
It was the evening market at the moment, and when they got outside the crowd, Xu Rui and Di Gua squeezed in without hesitation.
The two tails arrived outside the crowd, hesitated for a moment, and finally squeezed into the crowded crowd. However, by this time they had already lost sight of their target figure. The two of them ran around in the crowd like cats trying to catch a blind man, but they Nothing happened, and now the two tails were very anxious.
In fact, these two tailmen were spies of the Nanjing plainclothes team.
It must be admitted that the captain of the Nanjing Gendarmerie, Goyang Jiro, is quite capable. Since he became the captain of the Nanjing Gendarmerie, this little devil has immediately made great efforts to rectify his plainclothes team. He not only gave the plainclothes team enough funds, but also gave them enough respect, so the Nanjing plainclothes team is more loyal to the dog Yangjiro than the dog.
Moreover, Gouyang Jiro also formulated a special incentive system.
Since the Opium War, many men in China have suffered from rickets and cannot stand up straight when facing foreigners.
Later on, it even evolved into being proud to have sex with foreign women. For Chinese men in this era, if they can have sex with Oriental women, it is nothing less than bringing glory to the country.
In response to this, Inukai Jiro formulated a special incentive system. As long as the members of the plainclothes team can achieve one level three meritorious service, they can go to the comfort station for free once, five times for free for level two meritorious service, and even more for first-level meritorious service. It’s free forever. Of course, it’s actually impossible to award first-level merit.
After the implementation of this incentive system, the enthusiasm of the Nanjing plainclothes team was unprecedentedly high.
Then, the underground Nanjing Communist Party and the Nanjing Station of the Military Command suffered a bloody misfortune.
The liaison station that Wang Husheng stayed in Nanjing City, the Wang Ji Car Repair Shop that he used to communicate with Shun Nakamura on a single line, was dug out by the Nanjing plainclothes team.
Then, the Nanjing plainclothes team followed the clues and found the sweet potato.
Just when the two agents from the plainclothes team didn't know what to do, they suddenly felt someone tapping them on the shoulder.
The two agents felt someone tapping their shoulders at the same time, so they turned their heads to check, only to find that one of the targets they had been searching for just now was actually beside him. The next moment, the two agents The agent felt a huge crisis at the same time, and when he was about to shout, it was already too late.
Digua and Xu Rui reached out their hands at the same time and covered the mouths and noses of the two agents. Then, with a slight shake of their hands, the two daggers hidden in their sleeves slipped down, and then stabbed the two agents like lightning. Under the agent's left armpit, a sharp blade penetrated between the second rib and the third rib, straight through the heart.
As soon as Xu Rui and Digua succeeded, they quickly turned around and left. The whole process took less than a second. Due to the cover of the bustling crowd around them, no one noticed this scene until Xu Rui and Digua walked dozens of steps away. , the two agents who had been stabbed in the heart slowly collapsed to the ground.
Then, the entire Xiaguan Evening Market immediately broke into commotion.
But at this time, Xu Rui and Di Gua had already boarded the car.
As soon as he got on the car, Digua said: "Commander, this old devil Itagaki Seishiro came to Liang Mansion. Fortunately, Liang Hongzhi protected you and said that you came to the pier to buy fish for him. Fortunately, you arrived in Nanjing in the afternoon and asked for it." Otherwise, the secret would be exposed, and no one would have thought that the old devil Itagaki would actually come here in person."
"Let's not talk about it for now." Xu Rui waved his hand and said, "What urgent matter does Lao Wang have with us?"
Di Gua is not a traffic officer on the secret front, so it is impossible for the comrades of the Nanjing underground party to know him, let alone come to him rashly to contact him. Then there is only one possibility, that is, Wang Husheng came to them in an emergency and came to Di Gua to contact him before. The person must be the intelligence agent of Wang Ji's car repair shop. Before leaving, Xu Rui told Digua the secret code for contact.
Therefore, the people who came to contact Digua just now could only be Wang Husheng's people. In other words, Wang Husheng must have something urgent to find them, otherwise his secret intelligence line would never be used.
Digua hummed softly and said, "The political commissar really has something urgent, something big."
After a pause, Digua continued: "The political commissar said that the Japanese Emperor Hirohito has just held an imperial meeting and has decided to transfer the 7th Division stationed in Hokkaido and the 20th Division stationed in North Korea to Shanghai to coordinate with the original plan. Let the Ninth Division stationed in Shanghai work together to encircle and suppress us. Because the matter is so important, the political commissar wants you to return to Shanghai quickly."
"Really?" Xu Rui said with a sinister smile, "Young man Hirohito really thinks highly of our patrol camp, and he actually dispatched three permanent divisions." At this point, Xu Rui suddenly frowned again and said, "That's not right. Why did little Hirohito suddenly pay attention to the patrol camp? What was he doing in the past few months? "
It’s no wonder that Xu Rui is confused. It’s not been a day or two since the patrol camp popped up. Hirohito would never have heard of it. If he really valued the patrol camp, he would never have delayed it until today. But if he didn’t pay attention to it, , how could one guy dispatch three divisions to deal with the patrol battalion? And there are three permanent divisions!
Hearing this, Digua quickly said: "Commander, I forgot to tell you just now. There is another thing. Your identity seems to have been exposed. The Japanese already know that you are the commander of the patrol battalion. However, the political commissar also said that Liang Wuyi The cover may not be revealed yet, but let’s prepare for the worst.”
Xu Rui suddenly nodded and said, "That makes sense."
With a slight snort, Xu Rui added: "But this has been expected for a long time. If the Japs come, just come. Aren't they just three permanent divisions? It's not like we haven't learned from them before."
Ergua asked again: "Commander, where are you going now? Go back to Shanghai directly, or go to Liang Mansion?"
Xu Rui said happily: "Didn't you just say that old Japanese Itagaki went to Liang's mansion? If I guessed correctly, it was a lie that this old Japanese went to visit Liang Hongzhi, but it was true that he wanted to meet me. So, if we If I don't go back to Liang Mansion, this old devil Itagaki will definitely become suspicious of me."
"But what if this is a trap?" Digua said, "Wouldn't returning to Liang Mansion be a trap?"
Xu Rui smiled and said: "Didn't you just say that Liang Wuyi's identity hasn't been exposed yet? Since it hasn't been exposed yet, how can old Japanese Itagaki be unfavorable to me?"
Digua frowned and said, "What if it's been exposed? The little devil is just trying to lure you, but what if you're waiting for you to fall into the trap?"
It must be admitted that Digua's worries are justified. Since the Japs can see through the commander of the patrol camp, they can also see through Liang Wuyi's true identity. After all, the Japs' spies are not vegetarians. Although there is no news from Shadow, from Logically, the shadow is also at risk of exposure.
If the shadows have been exposed, then Liang Wuyi must have been exposed.
The reason why the Japs haven't moved Shadow or the Broadway Building yet is simply because he's still outside. Once he, the core figure, gets in, maybe the Japs will take action directly! Therefore, the safest thing to do at this time is to order Broadway Building to prepare for action, and then not show up first.
For a moment, Xu Rui also hesitated, wondering whether he should go to Liang Mansion.
After all, Xu Rui is not God, and he cannot see the truth behind the many doubts.
Digua continued: "The political commissar also said that you should go back to Shanghai quickly, but do not appear in public. He also said that the Broadway Building is ready, so you don't have to worry."
