Chapter 45.
“I’m going to make a trip to the Lone Army Camp.”
“Team Leader, the matter of the Lone Army Camp has nothing to do with us, so don’t make an issue out of it.” On the tram, Shen Mo gave a word of advice.
“I have two people to get out of the Lone Army Camp, and they will become members of our group.” Cheng Mo explained.
“Team leader, how do you know the people from the Lone Army Camp?” Shen Mo was surprised.
“Do you know why I was able to get into the Qingpu class as an instructor?” Cheng Mo said, “That’s because I participated in the entire battle in Zhabei, and the unit I was in was the Lone Army Battalion at the Four Row Warehouse.”
“What, Team Leader you are actually one of the eight hundred strong soldiers, then if Team Leader you go, won’t your identity be easily exposed?” Shen Mo was shocked, this lone army battalion of people must have seen the process of silence, the risk of exposure of him lurking in the rented world is great.
“The lone army camp is imprisoned, as long as they have not seen me, my identity naturally will not be exposed, furthermore, my name is not on the roster of the lone army camp.” Cheng Mo said, “Besides, my current appearance is somewhat different from that time. ”
“Then you still want to go in?”
“I have two brothers in there, I have to go and bring them out.” Cheng Mo said, “Aren’t we short-handed? Add two more people and our group will be able to complete the mission on our own.”
“It’s too risky, what if you’re recognized?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll mix in with the people transporting the supplies and put on some makeup and disguise, no one will recognize me.” Cheng Mo sidled over and said in his ear, “I’ll give you a mission ……”
“Will this work?” Shen Mo was surprised after hearing this.
“At the moment this is the best way, helping one or two people get away is not a big problem, more will not work.” Cheng Mo said.
“Okay, I’ll go prepare, when will we act?”
“Wait for my news.” After Cheng Mo finished speaking, he got up and got off the tram.
At her sister’s home on Erma Road, Cheng Hua took the clothes she had prepared long ago to Cheng Mo: “This is for you, after you change into it later, someone will pick you up downstairs.”
“Thank you sis.”
“This is the identity and information of the person you’re replacing, if someone asks, don’t say it’s wrong.” Cheng Hua was well prepared.
Cheng Mo had read it once and memorized it, shorthand method, this was one of the essential skills of an agent.
“Xiao Mo, remember, be careful.” Cheng Hua exhorted.
“Sis, is there any news from Nanjing?” Cheng Mo couldn’t help but ask, today was December 12th, the first anniversary of Double Twelve, and also the day before Nanjing fell.
“The situation is very bleak, it’s not expected to last long.” Cheng Hua’s eyes dimmed for a moment, she was indeed much better informed than the average person.
“Sister, I know best about the inferiority of Japan as a nation, from the way they attacked Nanking on this journey with their performance of burning and looting, I’m afraid that once they enter the city of Nanking, I’m afraid that they will prey on the innocent people.” Cheng Mo said.
“You’d better worry about yourself.” Cheng Hua gave him a blank look, “Hurry up and change your clothes, people will come to pick you up in a while.”
“Got it.” Cheng Mo smiled sarcastically, saying more would give away the truth.
He changed into the worker’s clothes and put on a little make-up to make his skin dark and rough, so that even people who were familiar with him wouldn’t recognize him at first glance.
Traveling to the Lone Army Camp to deliver supplies were two trucks, which were approved and agreed to by the Bureau of Public Works, otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to pass the blockade of the White Russian team.
Cheng Mo’s current status was that of a porter accompanying the truck.
The materials loaded on the trucks were all donations from the public, and part of them were raised by the “Shanghai Working Committee”.
They are some of the necessities of life and daily necessities, rice, flour, grain and oil, as well as towels, soap, and of course, cigarettes and wine.
The people are very generous to the soldiers who protect the country with their blood.
Orphan camp conditions are very poor, there is no brick and wood construction of the barracks, only tents, tents, although it can protect from the wind and rain, but can not block the heat and cold, in December in Shanghai, the temperature has been below zero, and also a few small snowfalls, which is cold straight shivering.
A thin layer of snow can be seen on the roof of the tent.
It is this kind of weather, the generals and soldiers of the lonely army camp, but also on time out of drill, training, with the usual time is the same when not fighting.
Such serious military discipline was rare in the Kuomintang army.
In the line of training, Cheng Mo, who drove into the playground of the Lone Army Battalion in a truck, saw the two men, Wu Jianfeng and Dachun, at a glance.
How about meeting with these two alone?
Cheng Mo’s brow furrowed in calculation.
In addition to delivering supplies, there were also condolences and interviews with reporters, and the Lone Army Camp didn’t want to be disturbed from their normal life every day, so they also set up the rule that they only received interviews and condolences from the outside world during the weekends.
This is still now more lenient, the further they go, I’m afraid they even send out the news to the outside world is difficult.
The supplies warehouse of the lone army camp, this is not only a confidential place of the lone army camp, but also guarded by people, Cheng Mo and another person car supplies unloaded one by one, and then handed over to the lone army camp party to register and then into the warehouse.
Coincidentally, this registration officer Cheng Mo is actually recognized, it is the regiment vice Shangguan Zhibiao.
This was much more convenient.
“Regimental Vice Shangguan, I, Cheng Mo.” Cheng Mo carried a box of goods and came directly to Shangguan ZhiBiao, reporting his name.
Shangguan ZhiBiao was startled, they had only met twice, when he saw Cheng Mo’s face clearly, he immediately revealed a surprised smile, “Cheng Mo, it’s you, why are you here?”
“Shangguan regiment deputy, I want to see Wu Jianfeng and Da Chun, can you help?”
“This is no problem, I’ll make the arrangements.” Shangguan ZhiBiao nodded, Cheng Mo must have something going on when he disguised himself as a porter delivering supplies into the lone army camp, otherwise there was no need to do this.
“Thanks a lot.”
“In a moment, you pretend to be in an internal emergency and go over there, I’ll arrange for the two of them to find you.” Shangguan Zhibiao lowered his voice and said.
This arrangement was also just what Cheng Mo wanted.
Shangguan Zhi Bei summoned a person to take over his registration work, he straightened his lapel and headed towards the direction of the playground.
On Cheng Mo’s side, he also followed what Shangguan ZhiBiao said and went to wait in one of the tents he designated on the grounds of a sudden internal emergency.
Without letting him wait for long, two familiar footsteps came from outside the tent, and after the tent was lifted, two familiar faces quickly came into view.
“Old Wu, Da Chun!”
“Brother Mo.”
The three people were reunited after a long time and embraced each other tightly.
“Old Wu, Da Chun, didn’t I tell you guys to pretend to be injured and go to the hospital for treatment when you enter the Concession so that you don’t have to go back to the Orphan Barracks?” After the three separated, Cheng Mo asked.
“Xiao Mo, we are soldiers, how can we be deserters with this method?” Wu Jianfeng immediately said.
“Deserters, you should have withdrawn from Shanghai in the first place, but it was the British who didn’t keep their word and detained you, how can this be considered desertion?” Cheng Mo asked rhetorically.
“Brother Mo, leaving the army privately is desertion, you’ve never been a soldier, this is a military rule, you don’t understand.” Da Chun also explained.
“But do you guys know what the price is for coming back?” Cheng Mo sighed, how miserable the last situation of the orphaned battalion, he is more than clear, more than four hundred people, in the end less than a quarter of the survivors, this is if the sacrifice on the battlefield, it is still considered to be a good death, the key to these people are either sick to death, or in the infighting in the death of their own people, Xie Zhongmin is even more tragic, so that the wang pseudo-bought traitors to assassinate the rest of the Japanese were captured in Southeast Asia as a laborer, and in the end, a lot of people died in foreign lands.
“XiaoMo, you were able to find us, do you know what happened to LaoMiao and Kuizi?”
“Lao Miao and Kui Zi are together, I rented a house for them, it’s not necessary for him to stay in the hospital with that leg, so he might as well go home and recuperate.” Cheng Mo said.
“That’s good, they have you to take care of them outside, we are relieved.” Wu Jianfeng nodded.
Cheng Mo said, “But I want you guys to go out for me and help me.”
“Help you, what do you mean?” Wu Jianfeng and Da Chun looked at each other, somewhat not understanding what Cheng Mo meant by that.
“I won’t hide it from you guys, after I left the Four Row Warehouse, I joined the Li Xing Society, and now I’m the leader of the Li Xing Society’s Shanghai Infiltration Team, and I’m now short of manpower under my command, so I’m here this time, just to come over and invite you guys to join me.” Cheng Mo opened the door and said.
Li Xing Society, Wu Jianfeng naturally knew, he did not expect that Cheng Mo would have joined Li Xing Society, and also acted as the head of the infiltration team, this identity change was a bit surprising.
“Xiao Mo, we don’t know anything about this infiltration and secret service work, what can we do?” Wu Jianfeng was actually not willing to be stuck in a lone military camp, but if there was another option, of course he was willing to leave, it was just that as a soldier, he could not leave without authorization and be a deserter.
“Hoe traitors.”
Kill the traitors!
Wu Jianfeng and Da Chun’s eyes both flashed with a glint of excitement.
“You’ve all fought alongside me, life and death brothers who can be trusted, so if I don’t look for you, who can I look for?”
“But we are trapped in the Lone Army Camp, we don’t go out at all, and even if we do, both of us have no identity, so if we are discovered, won’t that bring you trouble?”
“I don’t know how many refugees there are in the Concession, and not many of them have identities, so you don’t need to worry about your identities, it’s just that the traces and habits of the military are too heavy on you, this needs to be changed on your own initiative, to completely transform yourselves into a commoner, that’s the first element for you to survive in the Concession, it won’t be too late for me to talk to you about all this when you’ve gone out. ” Cheng Mo saw that Wu Jianfeng and Da Chun were already interested, so naturally he struck the iron while it was hot.
“What should I explain on Xie Regiment Seat’s side?”
“Just say that you guys are also going out to fight against the Japanese and kill the devils, Xie Regiment seat is able to understand.”
