Chapter 34.
Since Cheng Mo had joined the Lixing Society and had been ordered to sneak down here, naturally he had a mission attached to it, but he had refused Yu Mingshan to give him manpower.
Also at the same time, he refused the Shanghai Special Administrative Region to give him manpower and equipment.
He asked to set up a separate action team, and for this reason, Yu Mingshan specially asked Dai Yunong, after all, he also knew Cheng Mo’s special relationship with Dai Yunong, and this kind of person was really treated in a special way.
Dai Yunong did not even think about it and agreed, because Cheng Mo through the Cheng Hua this layer of relations, not with the Shanghai Special Administrative Region has a horizontal relationship, it may be a good thing.
Yu Mingshan is also a smart person, since Dai Yunong agreed to let Cheng Mo lurk alone, naturally did a favor, Jiang Yun also out of the Shanghai Special Administrative Region’s list of lurkers, separately assigned to Cheng Mo leadership.
Of course, Jiang Yun still doesn’t know that the leader of the line she was ordered to sneak down is Cheng Mo.
There were only three people in Cheng Mo’s action team, Cheng Mo and Jiang Yun, who didn’t know the situation yet, and one more was Shen Mo.
Shen Mo was his chief traffic.
After returning from the special training class, Cheng Hua didn’t interfere too much in his activities, probably also knowing that he had joined the Power Action Society now, and was disciplined, and there were a lot of things that she, as a sister, couldn’t ask too much about.
In fact, Cheng Mo himself has been secretly looking for a house, he can’t keep squeezing into a small apartment with his sister, in that case, it’s inconvenient for him and inconvenient for his sister.
However, it was really hard to find a suitable house in the rental sector now, there were so many refugees in the rental sector, the houses were basically filled up, and the rent had risen several times.
So, one can only continue to make do with what one has.
Lone military camp into can, the British did not do hard requirements, and even reporters interviews and mass condolences can be.
But there are merchant soldiers standing guard outside the lone army camp, how many people go in, how many people come out, want to bring out people from inside, it is difficult.
Cheng Mo’s sure if Wu Jianfeng and the others are inside, if they listen to themselves, they might not need to go through so much trouble.
Rented area-Shanghai Red Cross Hospital.
This hospital, which usually only high-ranking officials and dignitaries were qualified to stay in, had a good environment and spacious wards, and now housed dozens of wounded soldiers who had been evacuated from the Four Row Warehouse.
Because of their wounds, they were fortunate enough not to be put into an isolated military camp.
When they were wounded, as long as they didn’t go to the Lone Army Camp themselves, no one would lock them up, and they were rather more fortunate than those who were intact.
They got the best medical treatment, and at the same time gained their freedom.
Cheng Mo also asked around before learning that the wounded soldiers from the Four Row Warehouse were first sent to Happy Valley, and then sent here for follow-up treatment.
It’s been a month.
I don’t know if these guys have already left, but he reminded them in the beginning, just don’t know if they will listen to themselves.
After all, if they were faking their injuries, they would have to be discharged after a week at most, otherwise, it would not be a waste of medical resources.
If they were to make a fool of themselves and return to the team and run back, then it would be troublesome.
Cheng Mo was also lucky to actually see Lao Miao’s name in the roster of wounded soldiers, Lao Miao was in the process of retreating and accidentally fell down the stairs, directly breaking his calf.
Wounded but at least a hundred days, which can not walk, can only be in the hospital to keep, anyway, food and drink, especially when he just came in, every day people come over to sympathize, to see him as a hero.
When Cheng Mo saw him, this guy has gained a whole circle of weight, and the wrinkles on his face have been smoothed out, it’s like a different person.
“Brother Mo?” When Lao Miao saw Cheng Mo, he also froze for a moment, and didn’t recognize him at first, after all, Cheng Mo’s temperament and image had changed greatly, completely different from a month ago.
“Old Miao, how is it, can you still compete with Kui Zi now?” Cheng Mo walked over smilingly and hugged Lao Miao on the hospital bed.
Lao Miao laughed “hehehe”, between men, there was no need to say anything more.
“Brother Mo, I’m so happy to see you again.” Lao Miao’s eyes red, recalling the time when they fought together, that kind of comradeship, that kind of life and death brotherhood of giving each other’s backs to each other, who in this life can forget? “Where are Kuizi and Dachun?”
“Kui Zi injury has long been well, half a month ago discharged from the hospital, the day before yesterday also came to see me, said to find a job, and so I was discharged from the hospital, and then together back to the army, Dachun and Wu Lian vice didn’t listen to you, it is estimated that is now closed in the lonely military camp.” Lao Miao said.
“Hey, forget it, how is your leg?” Looking at Lao Miao’s calf that was wrapped in a plaster, Cheng Mo inquired with concern.
“I did it on purpose, I didn’t expect to really break my leg, I’m old and useless.” Old Miao was embarrassed.
“Quizi didn’t tell you where he lives?”
“Rather mentioned a mouth, in what sixteen stores dock place, what exactly do I do not also do not know, but I see his face black, fingernails in the black, estimated to do hard labor.” Old Miao used to be a jianghu mixer, and his ability to read people’s words and colors was first-rate, and he would be a good helper to lurk in the rented world in the future.
“Well, if he comes to you, just tell him, don’t go back to the army, follow me.” Cheng Mo said.
“That would be great, I heard that the army is retreating and preparing to defend Nanking City to the death, isn’t it?” Lao Miao agreed in one breath, Cheng Mo’s ability he had seen with his own eyes. “I’m not very clear about the specifics, anyway it’s very chaotic is all, you guys can’t necessarily find the old troops even if you go to look for them now.” Cheng Mo picked up an apple and peeled it.
“Brother Mo, what are you doing now?”
“I haven’t thought about it, my sister found me a job at the Ministry of Public Works Bureau, I don’t know if it’s suitable for me, if it’s not, I’ll quit and start my own business.”
“Mo brother child, in fact, we all know that you are capable of people, fighting so powerful, that do other things as well, I am in my early forties, stay in the army, can not work for a few years, maybe one day will be honorable, I can not not not give the old Miao family to leave a posterior it ……”
“Okay, come on, eat an apple, get well, I’ll come back to see you in a couple days.” Cheng Mo left a phone number for Old Miao and told him to call this number if he had something to do.
Kui Zi is working as a laborer at the 16th store dock, Wu Jianfeng and Dachun are at the Lone Army Camp, so it’s better to have news than no news at all.
It’s better to have news than no news at all. Let’s find Kui Zi first.
Wu Jianfeng and Dachun will not be in trouble for a while.
The 16th store dock is not small, no less than tens of thousands of hard laborers, and now the refugees are pouring into the Concession, the 16th store dock belongs to the French Concession and the Public Concession, belongs to the three unregulated area.
Although this area is unregulated, but it does not mean that there is no order, and to maintain the order and rules here is the youth gang.
If you want to find someone here, by your own strength alone, it is really too difficult unless you have the luck of the gods.
Docks to do hard labor are a series of illiterate illiterate, so the newspaper to find people, that sometimes no use at all.
Only the power of gangs.
Sixteen stores pier is Huang Jinrong’s territory, even if he is now hiding in the French Concession as a fugitive, but his disciples throughout the mountain beach, the influence is still very large.
But find a hard labor such a small matter, do not need to ask to “Boss Huang” in front of, that is also too low.
Cheng Mo’s status in the gang came into play.
In less than three days, he got the news about the coal yard where Kui Zi is located, of course, also spent some money, there is no letting people work for free.
Kui Zi is not a local, and a black family, although it is drying the lowest level of hard labor, but also from time to time to be bullied, a hero in the battlefield to fight against the Japanese and kill the enemy such an encounter, really let a person look at the heartbroken.
He didn’t even dare to reveal his identity, otherwise he would be recognized, but there would be a lot of trouble.
Cheng Mo found him, it was the time when the drudges put their lunch at noon, each person two black steamed buns, cold, plus a bowl of soup with floating leaves and pickles, these things are not only not nutritious, people eat for a long time, the body is going to eat more and more bad.
“Kuizi!”
Suddenly hearing such a familiar voice, Kui Zi looked up, and when he saw Cheng Mo, the big and burly man instantly couldn’t help the tears from falling down.
“Let’s go, let’s quit this job, I’ll take you to dinner!” Cheng Mo stepped forward and dragged Kuizi away.
Kuizi was the best observer, and also had the talent of a sniper, he shouldn’t waste his youth on this meaningless drudgery.
After taking Kuizi for a meal and going to buy him a set of clothes, he took a bath and changed into new clothes before going to the Red Cross Hospital to see Lao Miao.
“Lao Miao, Kuizi, the reason why I didn’t agree to enlist with Battalion Commander Yang is actually that I joined another organization a long time ago, so, I can only refuse.” Cheng Mo also told his thoughts to the two Ming, they were all brothers who had lived through life, there was no need to hide some things.
“Brother Mo, you wouldn’t have joined that what’s-his-name Communist Party, right?”
“Old Miao, you still know about the communist party?” Cheng Mo was slightly shocked.
“I know a little bit, this communist party is really fighting the little Japanese, they seem to have won a big battle over in Shanxi, I haven’t heard much about it in the hospital these days.”
“You’re talking about the great victory of Pingxingguan.” Cheng Mo said, “I’ve also heard about it, taking out a whole brigade of ghosts, but I didn’t join the Communist Party, I joined the Lixing Society, and my official identity is the head of the Second Division of the Military Commission’s Bureau of Investigation and Statistics’ action team in Shanghai SAR.”
“Brother Mo, you’ve become an official?”
“Team leader, not much of an official, I heard that all the officers and soldiers of the Lone Battalion have been promoted by one rank, Lao Miao, you and Kui Zi’s rank have been raised, and your treatment has also been raised.”
“I was promoted to second lieutenant on the battlefield, I don’t know if the upper peak recognizes me?” Before Kuizi was wounded was a staff sergeant was status acting platoon leader, according to the national government’s commendation order, Kuizi is now a serious second lieutenant officer.
“Before the war Lao Miao was a private, merit awards raised a level, is a corporal, now another level, that is a sergeant.”
“Brother Mer, what rank do you have?”
“My rank is granted by the Second Division of the Military Coordination Bureau, and it’s a captain for now.” Cheng Mo said.
“Then the few of us will have to call you sir from now on.” Lao Miao joked, seeing each other again was that the relationship between the three had quietly changed.
