Chapter 813 The Japs are coming
At 9 o'clock in the morning, on a high-rise building in the French Concession, Zhang Yunhe stood on the roof and looked at the International Settlement with a telescope. In the camera, a long team of Japanese soldiers walked onto the Baidu Bridge. The leading Japanese officer rode a tall horse, looking very majestic.
The number of troops stationed in the concessions by various countries was not large, and even if all of them were added together, they would not be enough to withstand several rounds of bombardment from the Japanese warships and guns anchored in the Huangpu River.
After the large Japanese army entered the concession, they marched openly on the main road of the concession, showing off their power. Many residents of the concession stood on both sides of the street. Some of them were organized by traitors and held up plaster flags and shouted slogans welcoming the imperial army. More residents and people stood silently on the street and watched these Japanese troops.
It can only be said that the foreigners in the concession are very aware of the current situation. They have a deep understanding of the saying "He who understands the current situation is a hero". Another more appropriate saying can be used to describe their behavior at this moment: "A good man will not suffer a loss in front of him."
The foreign troops stationed in the military camps throughout the concessions all knew that they could not win the battle at all. In this case, they might as well surrender.
Therefore, when the Japanese troops arrived at the military camps of various countries, the garrisons of each country had already collected their weapons, equipment and ammunition and piled them on the playground, and lined up on the playground waiting for the Japanese to come in and accept their surrender.
The Japanese officers leading their teams from all over were quite shocked when they saw this scene. They thought there would be several fierce battles to fight and had already prepared for the battles. However, they didn't know that these Western devils didn't even have the courage to fight. Where did the arrogance of these foreigners go?
"Brother, the wind is strong on the roof, let's go down. The Japs have entered the concession. No matter how long we wait, they will not retreat!" Ai Cao's voice sounded behind him, and a woolen suit coat was draped over him.
Zhang Yunhe put down the telescope, turned around and sighed, "Aicao, the Japanese are coming, and my business in the International Settlement can no longer continue. From now on, I will have no income and can only rely on you sisters to support me!"
Ai Cao threw herself into Zhang Yunhe's arms and said in a sweet voice: "Brother, you will always be my brother. Everything that Ai Cao has is given by me. Ai Cao is yours in life and your ghost in death."
"Hahaha, silly girl, no matter how poor I am, I won't go without a bite to eat. Let's go, I've missed you so much lately, let me take good care of you!"
"Yes!" Ai Cao agreed with a blushing face.
"Hehe, I just like your energy!"
In the evening, Zhang Yunhe called Fan Biao.
"Hey"
Hearing Fan Biao's voice coming from the phone, Zhang Yunhe changed his voice and said, "I am Mr. A!"
Fan Biao on the other end of the phone quickly said, "Mr. A, do you have any instructions?"
Zhang Yunhe said, "The Japanese have entered the concession. Life will be difficult for everyone in the concession from now on. Your mission is to keep your current position. On the premise of keeping your own position and safety, do your best to protect the residents in the concession and don't let the Japanese harm the residents at will!"
"Of course, I know it's difficult, just try your best!"
"Yes, Mr. A!"
After finishing the call with Fan Biao, Zhang Yunhe called Ma Dazhi at the French Concession Police Department.
"Hello, who is this?" Ma Dazhi's voice came through the microphone.
Zhang Yunhe said, "It's me. How have things been these past few days?"
"What do you mean?"
"The activities of intelligence personnel from all parties in the French Concession!" said Zhang Yunhe.
Ma Dazhi said: "After the Japanese moved the clown's cheese, the intelligence personnel from all sides in the International Settlement realized that something was wrong. In the past few days, the intelligence activities in the French Concession have increased a lot. Many intelligence personnel from all sides who were hiding in the International Settlement are now hiding in the French Concession!"
Zhang Yunhe said, "Find a way to find out the information about these intelligence personnel, but don't alert them! The Japanese will definitely continue to send spies into the French Concession. We must monitor the Japanese spies entering the French Concession!"
"understand!"
The next morning, just as the sky was getting light and Ai Cao was still sleeping soundly beside him, Zhang Yunhe noticed that Tiexue's computer was vibrating. Someone was calling.
He immediately got out of bed and left the room, then went to the rooftop and answered the phone.
"Sir, Mrs. Hua Xinzi is about to give birth, probably within the next two days; in addition, the situation on the other side is not right. The Japanese have assembled a large number of troops and heavy weapons on the opposite side, and it seems that they are preparing to take action!" Ah Gui's voice came from the phone.
After listening to this, Zhang Yunhe said, "I understand. I'll go see Hua Xinzi after the next round. We'll talk then!"
"You're back to Hong Kong Island?" Ah Gui asked in surprise.
Zhang Yunhe didn't answer and hung up the phone.
Before leaving Shanghai, Zhang Yunhe sneaked into the HSBC building and took away all the banknotes, gold, silver and other valuables in the vault. The safes were filled with valuables stored by depositors, including many antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and ancient books.
When the Japanese officer who took over the place came to work in the morning, the vault was empty. He was furious and immediately launched an investigation, but he found nothing.
After having breakfast with Ai Cao, Zhang Yunhe said to her, "I'm going to be out for a while. Don't wander around during this time, and don't leave the French Concession!"
"Brother, when will you come back?" Ai Cao asked reluctantly.
Zhang Yunhe said, "Maybe in a month, if everything goes well!"
After leaving Ai Cao, Zhang Yunhe drove the spacecraft landing craft back to Hong Kong Island, and then drove to the Mid-Levels South villa where Hua Xinzi was housed.
Seeing Zhang Yunhe get out of the car, Ah Gui immediately walked over from the front of the villa: "Sir!"
Zhang Yunhe nodded and asked, "How is Hua Xinzi?"
"The amniotic fluid broke half an hour ago. The doctor came to see me and said I should be born soon. I just called the hospital and the ambulance will be here in three minutes!" said Ah Gui.
"Let's go and see her!" Zhang Yunhe said as he walked into the villa.
Hua Xinzi slept in a room on the first floor. Zhang Yunhe walked into the room, came to her bed and held her hand: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. How do you feel now?"
"He's kicking around in my stomach. I feel like he can't stay in there anymore and should be coming out!" Hua Xinzi felt much more relieved when she saw Zhang Yunhe coming.
The ambulance arrived quickly, and Zhang Yunhe and Agui followed them to the hospital. Only two hours later, Hua Xinzi gave birth to a baby girl.
Zhang Yunhe named the child Yufei.
After comforting Hua Xinzi and her daughter, Zhang Yunhe finally had time to find Ah Gui to ask about the situation.
At the end of the corridor outside the ward, Zhang Yunhe asked while smoking, "What's the situation here? Has the Governor's Office made any defensive arrangements?"
Ah Gui replied, "The foreigners may have considered that the Japanese might attack us a long time ago, so they built a lot of defensive fortifications on one side of the river. When the Japanese increased their forces and deployed heavy artillery on the other side, the Governor-General's Office immediately sent more troops to defend!"
"The Governor's Office has also sent orders to our Merchant Corps to send troops to assist in the defense. Furthermore, they have set up locations throughout the city to recruit volunteers to transport supplies, weapons, and ammunition!"
"Tian Tao said that they can only dispatch the troops after you return and give the order. Now the soldiers are ready to go, just waiting for your order!"
