Occupied

From late December 1941 to mid-January 12, the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government and the Japanese fought in Changsha for the third time, which is known as the third Changsha Battle in history. So far, the Allied Forces have finally won their first victory in terms of battles.As far as the Chinese battlefield is concerned, this battle was a breakthrough victory in the strategic stalemate stage marked by the end of the Wuhan Battle, which dealt an effective and practical blow to the Japanese army.

The day Ah Ci received the victory report was already in the middle and late January of 1942. He forwarded the telegram to the underground CCP organization in Shanghai, and passed on the situation in Shanghai as usual.As the war has intensified, Japan has continued to launch new policies in Shanghai. In order to appease the big bourgeoisie in Shanghai and at the same time smoothly enter the various concessions in Shanghai, Japan has adopted a strategy of advocating stability and uniting the tycoons of the concessions on the one hand, and dispatching special agents on the other. Arresting and assassinating people from all walks of life in Shanghai, and arresting anyone who threatens the overall Japanese military plan, No. 76 Gesfield Road in Huxi has completely become a famous "devil's den" on the beach.Witnesses said that bloody heads were hung under the street lamps at No. 76, and there were inhumane tortures in the room, which was extremely terrifying.It is even more vicious against the Communists, using all means and methods.

"In the past two years, they have caused more than a thousand assassinations and kidnappings every year. For those who were killed, I can even hear them crying blood in my ears!" A Ci angrily clapped the case Don't say that he himself has been cruelly treated by No. 76, just say that he is a bloody man, no matter how good he is, how can he hold back the anger in his heart when faced with such a bloody fact? Didn't those compatriots who died died in In the hands of the Japanese, the leaders and participants of the so-called No. 76 were all Chinese, all traitors, and all "Chinese" who loyal to the Japanese army after defecting to the enemy and treason!It's ridiculous that the cruelest thing is done by the hands of "our own people"!How can people not hate, not cast aside!

"Because they used to be Chinese, they hate their identity as Chinese even more at this moment, and they will kill their compatriots even more. Because they are afraid that the Japanese have never trusted them, and they will one day. Get rid of by the Japanese." Ah Chu brought a cup of tea to Ah Ci, and slowly analyzed with him: "This kind of person will do everything possible to please the Japanese." "I just hate those bastards! I hate them even more because they are not Japanese!"

"Right now, the Japanese are not getting any benefits in the war. As far as the good news you just received, they may still suffer a defeat. Although they still look dangerous now, their spirits are not as good as before." Ah Chu analyzed. He said: "Right now, we have no other choice but to continue to wait. Or there will be a proper opportunity to catch them all in the near future."

"I understand. In fact, with your personality, big brother, I'm afraid you are more unwilling to wait than I am." Ah Ci lowered his head. "Yes..." Ah Chu squeezed the teacup tightly, his eyes showed sharp hatred, not only the hatred of the family and the country, but also his extreme anger towards those who hurt his brother: "Don't worry, these years The hiding has taught me how to restrain myself. Although it is difficult, I have learned to control it. I can guarantee that I will hide until a certain day, and there will be an appropriate time to recover all the blood debts at once. "

"Big Brother is Big Brother." Looking at Ah Chu's gritted teeth, Ah Ci knew that no matter how much Rong Chu had learned to forbear and hide in these years, he was still the same Boss Rong in essence.

"Uncle!" Ah Fu ran up to the attic cleverly, and turned his eyes to look at Ah Chu: "Mr. Xia is here, and he is still at the same place. I saw a note on the wall to let Uncle go over there." Yes." This year, Ah Fu is also 11 years old, and the child grows very fast. In just a few years, he has grown taller like a young bamboo shoot, and he looks like a lean boy. He looked like he was no longer the thick-headed and tiger-brained child he used to be.

This child who has followed them through wind, frost, rain and snow since childhood is now more capable, calm and sensible. Although he can't get rid of the child's playful temper, he is more secure in handling things.Ah Chu and Ah Ci looked at each other, "Then I'll go out now, Ah Fu, you look at home."

"Hey, okay." Ah Fu agreed.

"Be careful." Ah Ci reminded cautiously.

"I will." Ah Chu put on his coat and walked out the door. He paused when he stepped out of the door: "Ah Fu, if I come back late, remember to cook."

"I know." After hearing Ah Fu's smooth answer, Ah Chu walked out.

Walking through the familiar alleys and stepping into the small cloth shop, the current situation is chaotic. Such a small cloth shop with a cold door seems to be unsustainable in Shanghai. The cloth shop owner nodded to him twice as a gesture.Only then did Ah Chu quickly walk up to the second floor.

Sure enough, Xia Yuechun was waiting for him.

Seeing him coming in, Liu Ah Si bowed obediently to Ah Chu, and then went out to guard the door for the two of them. "What's the matter? Dean Xia has a serious look on his face. I remember Ah Ci telling me that you just won the battle?"

It's rare to see Xia Yuechun who doesn't joke when they meet, but Ah Chu was a little surprised and made a joke. "But No. 76, Gesfield Road, captured almost half of the brothers in our group, and the few remaining brothers, I can only ask them to stay put." Xia Yuechun turned around, without a smile on his face: "If it wasn't for you Let Ah Si follow me, I am afraid that the continuous assassinations and kidnappings and all kinds of methods used in the past few days will cause me to die a long time ago."

Hearing what his friend said, Ah Chu couldn't laugh anymore. He saw the tiredness on Xia Yuechun's expression, which was the kind of distress that anyone suffers from under high pressure. How much pressure has Xia Yuechun, who is extremely hunting and killing, been under these days.

"Tell me in detail." Ah Chu leaned against the window lattice with his arms folded.

"The real spring of No. 76 is in the hands of Li Shiqun." Xia Yuechun said briefly: "Li Shiqun was a double-faced agent of the Communist Party and the Nationalist Government. He was finally arrested by the Japanese and then treasoned and became a pawn of the Japanese. He is the number one arrest target on the list of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. The people he trained or recruited in No. 76 were excellent agents from the Communist Party of China and the Nationalist Government. Our combat methods and action habits, our people can only avoid it, and cannot confront it head-on.”

"Then what if..." Ah Chu thought for a moment, "I mean, what if you also choose to assassinate Li Shiqun?"

"Impossible, this man is very cautious, not to mention that our people can't get close to him, even the Japanese can't get close to him. It is said that when he eats, more than ten attendants must test the poison for him, and he is even more concealed when he goes out. , and he is also very cautious in his private life. He has no mistress, no lover, and there is only one person who takes care of him on weekdays, a middle-aged woman in her 40s surnamed Zhu. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has no information about this person. Everyone in No. 76 Call her Mother Zhu, our people also thought about attacking this woman before, but I didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary woman has a strong skill. She not only protected Li Shiqun but also the brothers we sent Captured alive. Very scary, and...don't you forget that Li Shiqun himself is also a very good agent, even much better than us."

"But no matter what, this woman is still a breakthrough. She may be Li Shiqun's right-hand man, right? Then don't you have any ideas for so long?" Ah Chu still looked at Xia Yuechun calmly.

Xia Yuechun sighed a little tiredly: "To be honest, Ah Chu, maybe he is a fan of the authorities. I really can't think of any better way. I also thought about fighting hard..." Xia Yuechun leaned on the window sill and looked outside. The sky, the sky is gray and a little depressing. "And then?" Seeing that he had spoken halfway, Ah Chu couldn't help answering.

"But this is unrealistic. Today is different from the past. We don't have so many people to fight against. Moreover, in this situation, if we take risks...that's really..."

"Then let's use our strength to fight." Ah Chu stared at Xia Yuechun with a pair of eyes.Xia Yuechun raised his head suddenly, "What do you think?"

"For more than two years, my only thought was to make the director of the Japanese agency Misawa Ryu die." A Chu smiled with his lips curled up, and answered word by word.Xia Yuechun was sad for a moment: "I'm telling you the truth."

"Am I not serious?" Ah Chu raised his brows: "I have been hiding for more than two years, and he has been looking for me for more than two years. At this point, if he has not given up, he must have been in the infinite Driven mad by endless searching, what do you think will happen if he accidentally sees me on a certain occasion?"

Xia Yuechun didn't speak, but showed a surprised expression.

Ah Chu went on to say: "If an accident can happen at an appropriate time to make the Japanese fear and doubt No. 76, do you think the Japanese can tolerate those traitors?" He said this When he spoke, his eyes were very sharp, as deep as a secluded pool: "A traitor is a traitor, no matter who it is in the eyes, it is not worthy of trust, whether it is the employer or the sufferer..."

"You..." Xia Yuechun finally understood the meaning of Ah Chu's words, and exclaimed in shock: "This is too dangerous, you are crazy!" He categorically rejected Ah Chu's suggestion: "I thought you had already learned how to deal with it in the past two years. I didn't expect you to be so arrogant!"

"But this plan is feasible, isn't it?" Ah Chu smiled.

"No way!" Xia Yuechun dragged out without thinking.

"Unless you have a better suggestion, you are in no position to say no."

Such an understatement made Xia Yuechun speechless. After thinking for a long time, Xia Yuechun finally asked unwillingly: "Aren't you afraid of Ah Ci's objection or worry?"

Ah Chu hesitated for a moment with his usual understatement, but soon laughed again: "So you are not allowed to tell my brother about this."

Xia Yuechun said seriously: "That's impossible, because this matter must be approved by the organization, and Ah Ci sent the telegram."

Ah Chu's face froze for a moment, and finally replied with a smile: "But he will believe that I can, just like I believe in him."

At this point, Xia Yuechun could only sigh and had nothing to say. He understood that once Ah Chu got serious, no one could stop what he was about to do.

"What's your plan, tell me carefully." Xia Yuechun could only acquiesce to Ah Chu's risky and bold suggestion.

"Okay." Ah Chu laughed: "First of all, let's start with the nuns..."

The early morning mist cleared a little, the door of the apartment next to Joffre Road was pushed open with a "squeak", and a woman in a woolen shawl and royal blue velvet cheongsam walked gracefully into the black car door that had been opened for her inside.

The car started quickly.

The sun showed a glimmer of light, and quickly pushed away all the fog.

Shanghai Stock Exchange.

A woman in a sapphire blue velvet cheongsam walked through the gate, carrying a black leather suitcase in her hand.

"Hello, how can I help you?" The service staff in the hall quickly surrounded him eagerly.

At the same time, some people in the hall who were sitting on their seats and watching the queue quietly stood up, some approached intentionally or unintentionally, and some left as if they were impatient.

The woman talked for a while in a low voice with the attendant.

"Okay, ma'am, follow me." The service staff showed her the way very respectfully.

Intentionally or not, the lady surnamed Zhu pulled up her woolen shawl as she left with the service staff.The fingers hooked up, as if holding something to hide it under the shawl.

A man in a top hat stood up, walked to the service desk, and stood near her.

Soon, the woman in the sapphire blue velvet cheongsam seemed to have finished her work, and walked out of the gate alone, leaving the stock exchange.

Someone from the public telephone booth outside the gate of the stock exchange dialed the number: "Hello."

One hand picked up the phone: "Hello."

"The butterfly flew out."

"Have you left that rose?"

"Just after flying, it may fly to the jasmine next to it. Do you need to catch it as a specimen?"

"Continue to observe and don't rush."

"Ok."

The phone hangs up.

At the same time, the woman in the sapphire blue velvet cheongsam has turned into the alley. Instead of taking the black car that brought her over at the beginning, she walked into the alley by herself in the all-night tavern .

A few figures followed silently...

The woman didn't seem to be aware of being followed, and turned into a dark and deserted alley alone.She walked forward slowly, until she reached the deepest point and stopped at a wooden door.

The wooden door is very old, with faintly mottled paint marks telling the endless years.

Someone approached silently from behind.

"Da" a slight sound.

She stepped on a dead branch that had fallen on the ground in front of the door.

Suddenly, at the moment when the dead branch broke, the originally dignified woman suddenly lifted the luxurious and graceful woolen shawl, and shook the woolen cloak out with her hands. The woolen cloak flew out together.

Swish, swish, count, as fast as a shooting star, and without a sound.

The woolen cloak was still in her hand.

But there was blood, gushing out from the punctured throat, and violent blood froth came out.Several strong men twitched but couldn't make a sound. They were still alive but fell powerlessly to the ground, clutching their necks in pain and gasping in pain.

Blood froth came out of several of their slit throats.

The lady who looked noble at the moment showed an expression like that of a hell Shura.

She held a gun in her hand, but she used darts to kill people, because the darts hit the target accurately, and the darts would not make unnecessary sounds to attract others' suspicion.

For a well-trained person, such confidence is also inevitable.

Her name is honored as Mother Zhu. She is an excellent agent who has been immersed in No. 76 for many years. How can she not be recognized when she is being followed? She sneered contemptuously, as if mocking those who tried to assassinate her How stupid to not know that this hidden place is her hometown

He intended to bring them in so that they could quietly get rid of such waste.

After so many years, she no longer knows how many people like this have been dealt with.

There were no dead bodies lying on the ground, and the nuns put on their woolen cloaks and were about to leave across the corpses.

When she just raised one foot, suddenly a hand grabbed her ankle.

Corpse!

It's a corpse!Caught her feet!

A sudden sense of fear made her panic.

During these few seconds of trance, a burst of white dust rose up and caught her eyes by surprise.

A faint!

The last scene that the so-called experienced nuns saw before they fell into a coma was a corpse that fell on the ground and slowly stood up from the ground again.

Even showed her a smiley face.

"Ah Chu, thank you for coming up with such a method, you can even pretend to be a dead person like that, I really start to admire your acting skills a little bit."

"Do you know what it means to be a soldier who never tires of cheating?"

These were the last two words Zhu Mammy heard before she passed out, and then she fell to the ground.

Ah Chu returned to Little Stone Alley after going out for two days.

Although he had asked Liu Ah Si to inform him.

But when he entered the room, Ah Fu's worried expression instantly became relieved, and Ah Chu smiled and patted the boy's head to show his approval.

He rarely goes out for so long.

The child was afraid to be worried.I'm afraid Ah Ci in the attic is even more anxious.

Before he could take off his coat, he ran up to the attic.When the door was pushed open, there was no figure of Ah Ci leaning over the desk in the past.

Ah Chu was slightly taken aback.

"Brother." Ah Ci quietly sat on the chair and waited for him. Seeing Ah Chu coming, he just called out: "You are back."

"En." Ah Chu didn't know why he was a little afraid to face Ah Ci's calm eyes.

He knew what he had done in the past two days, Ah Ci must have known it clearly, but he was so calm.The calmer Ah Ci was, the less he dared to explain further.

"Aren't you hungry? I'll ask Ah Fu to order some noodles for you." Ah Ci stretched out his hand to drag Ah Chu away from the chair: "What are you doing standing at the door in a daze? Sit down?" ...hey...you can't force it...you feel like I'm going to cook a bowl of instant noodles for you if you're hungry.)

"It's okay, when I came here, I ate at Yuechun's." Ah Chu sat down on the chair, "Uh..."

"Then what are you going to say to me?" Ah Ci said suddenly.

"Ah..." Ah Chu faltered.

Ah Ci couldn't hold back any longer, and yelled loudly, "You made such a big commotion, and you didn't tell me or discuss it with me beforehand. If you told me, would I definitely stop you? You... I This news came from someone else! You are a fucking bastard!"

"I..." Ah Chu yelled at Ah Ci in a daze, he was always eloquent, but seriously, this time, it was really difficult to explain to Ah Ci.

"Sorry." After thinking for a while, Ah Chu decided to give in and apologize obediently.After all, he was the one who made Ah Ci so worried.

"I finally found out today." When Ah Chu lowered his head, Ah Ci said suddenly.

Ah Chu asked in surprise, "What?"

"I finally know today, brother, how do you feel about worrying about me all these years." Ah Ci looked a little depressed after being excited, and said sullenly: "Actually, I'm the one who makes a fool of himself, isn't it? Brother..."

Ah Chu's heart warmed up, he stretched out his hand to hook Ah Ci's shoulders, hugged him tightly, and put a gentle kiss on his trembling lips: "Fool." Ah Chu sighed pitifully. Nan: "I still have you, how could I die? Didn't I come back well?"

"But..." Ah Ci couldn't help but his eyes were a little red, and being embraced by Ah Chu's warm embrace, the fear and hesitation in his heart were unreservedly revealed in his expression.

"Trust me." Ah Chu looked at Ah Ci seriously.

After a long time, Ah Ci slowly opened his mouth: "I believe in you."

No matter the wind, frost, rain or snow, no matter the road is full of thorns, I will trust you, but big brother... Please don't be in danger...

It wasn't until today that I discovered that the fear of losing someone is so, so heart-wrenching.

It turns out that I used to... always make you sad.

Ah Ci didn't speak any more, he just awkwardly responded to Ah Chu's lingering kiss when he kissed him.

Lips and teeth stick together, as if time has frozen.
