The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 33 Great Retreat
  The battle situation changed three times a day. The Japanese troops who landed at Jinshanwei were overwhelming and attacked cities and territories one after another. The Chinese army continued to retreat, abandoning their helmets and armor. The Qingpu squad also received a formal order to retreat.

The instructors and students are all packing their bags and making preparations for evacuation.

Groups of students were interviewed.

All the students who accepted the interview obviously graduated early and left. They had to interrupt their studies and embark on another journey in life.

The last remaining students all followed the westward retreat, and those who left early were arranged to lurk or serve in the Loyalty and National Salvation Army.

Why do lurkers need to be arranged in advance? This is also for the sake of confidentiality. If the lurkers are left at the end, the information of the last group of people will be easily exposed.

If you arrange to leave in advance, even if the list of people in advance is exposed, you can't verify whether they are lurking or sent elsewhere.

Cheng Mo did not leave early and waited until the final moment to evacuate.

It was Shen Mo who sent him off when he came here, and it was Shen Mo who picked him up when he went back, but this time Shen Mo was not driving a car.

They were arranged to set up a latent team, with Cheng Mo as the team leader and Shen Mo as the team's transporter.

Because the car target is too big, if they go back, they can only take public transportation or walk on iron feet.

Because the national army retreated too fast, they were flying around like a group of wild ducks.

Along the way, people fleeing could be seen almost at any time, and the Japanese troops followed them all the way, "burning, killing, looting," and committing all kinds of evil.

During the Battle of Songhu, they robbed and slaughtered ordinary people every day, and everyone's hands were stained with Chinese blood.

And some timid, traitorous people who sought glory also began to take notice of the situation and defected to the Japanese invaders one after another, acting like a groveling, servile person.

There was also a bloody storm in the concessions in Shanghai. It was said that murders occurred every day in the cross-border road construction areas. The anti-rape operation team of the Lixing Society Secret Service was killing traitors every day, and blood was shed everywhere.

The Japanese are also preparing to support a puppet government in Shanghai and invite some roosters, dog thieves, and monkeys to perform on the stage.

The entire Jiangnan region is in panic.

After returning to his sister's home after a month's absence, Cheng Mo fell asleep. This month's intensive teaching and training had left him in a tense atmosphere. If he didn't relax a little bit, this string would be destroyed. It's about to break.

While he was drifting off to sleep, he felt someone entering the room. As a reflex, Cheng Mo reached out and touched under the pillow.

"Get up, I've been sleeping all night." Cheng Hua walked to the window and opened the curtains, letting in the sunlight.

"Sister, this is my room. Why don't you come in and knock on the door?" Cheng Mo retracted his hand from under the pillow, turned over, and planned to continue sleeping.

"Xiao Mo, get up and go out with me?"

"What?"

"Make you some outfits."

"No, it's not like I don't have anything to wear, so what are you going to do with that wasted money?" Cheng Mo said holding the quilt.

"You are going to work in the Ministry of Industry Bureau in the future. How can you do it without a few decent clothes?" Cheng Hua said, "Listen to my sister and get up quickly. I will take you to eat first and then pick out clothes."

"What, the Ministry of Industry Bureau? My brother-in-law has abandoned you and ran away. Can we still be left with the position of the Ministry of Industry Bureau?" Cheng Mo said. Yang Hu, as the Shanghai garrison commander, had already abandoned his responsibilities and ran away, leaving the city behind. The president is still dealing with the situation in the concession.

"It doesn't matter if he runs away. He has a military position. Even if he is in the concession, the Japanese will not let him go easily." Cheng Hua said.

"Where's Mr. Dai, have you seen him later?"

"I don't know. I never ask about his affairs, so don't ask around." Cheng Hua urged, "Get up quickly."

Cheng Mo was ordered to get dressed quickly and go to work at the Ministry of Industry Bureau. He didn't know what he could do. He couldn't do the job of serving foreigners, and his English wasn't that good either.

"I don't want to go to the fire department. I spend the whole day either sprinkling water or putting out fires. I can't do this job." Cheng Mo said while getting dressed.

"Then where do you want to go?" "The general office or the police department can be used." Cheng Mo thought for a moment. The general office has access to a lot of information, which will inevitably involve a lot of intelligence, and the police department is the concession police The highest leading body of police officers and patrols, the department that has the most dealings with various religions and religions, is the most anti-convenience operation, and can also legally possess weapons.

"It's impossible for the General Office. In the past, Mr. Fei could still sell some face to your brother-in-law, but now I'm afraid that's not possible. If you go to the police station, you will be a handyman. Those in power are all foreigners. If you want a stable job, It’s not impossible to work…”

"Sister, how about forget it, just because I came back from studying abroad, I can't find a high-paying job in the concession?" Cheng Mo said.

"Go and have a look first. If it doesn't work, ask Mr. Cao Da to greet you at the police station and recruit you into the police station. Starting as a police officer."

"Sister, that Miss Cao and I are really not suitable for each other. Please don't mess with us." Cheng Mo couldn't tell what Cheng Hua was thinking.

"I'm not asking you to get married now, so let's get married first..."

"But I already have a girlfriend, sister, you know that."

"Is that the little nurse named Jiang Yun in the field hospital?" Cheng Hua had obviously investigated it, otherwise he wouldn't have known so clearly.

"What's wrong? Isn't the nurse bad?"

"Miss Jiang, it's okay to be a lover, but not a wife. She won't be of any help to your future. Miss Cao is different. She is Mr. Cao Da's youngest daughter. If you marry her, Mr. Cao Da will give you a slight push. With just one, you can go up, understand?" Cheng Hua said.

"Sister, I have the final say on what kind of woman I marry. No matter how good Miss Cao is, she is not my cup of tea. Being together is a lifelong matter. Everything else can be discussed. This matter is absolutely No!" Cheng Mo said firmly.

If you can't make your own decisions about marriage and faith, what's the point of living in this world?
  "Miss Cao is a top student at the Paris Academy of Arts. She is the kind of man that many people dream of, but you actually dislike her so much?"

"Sister, what should we have for breakfast?"

"Noodles, wontons, soy milk, and fried dough sticks!"

"They eat milk and bread, we drink tea from our ancestors, and they drink coffee. Their living habits are all different. How can we be happy if we are forced to be together?"

"What's the matter? She can adapt to your taste. You can also try to eat bread, it's very milky..."

"This is just an example. I can't take care of a pretty lady like her who is full of artistic talents." Cheng Mo said. He doesn't have that many literary and artistic talents. He is not as good as someone who can pronounce "Shakespeare" and "Beethoven" when he opens his mouth. topical.

If a couple can't even find a common topic, and if both parties have strong personalities, it would be a disaster.

Cao Lina may be new to her for a while, but as time goes by, many problems will arise, which Cheng Mo can almost foresee.

Besides, he already has Jiang Yun, and he doesn't want to be a half-hearted scumbag.

Seeing Cheng Mo's firm attitude, Cheng Hua knew that if he tried to persuade her again, it would be counterproductive, so he decided to solve the work problem first.

"Sister, can I enter the lonely army camp?"

"What do you want to do?" Cheng Hua frowned slightly.

"There are a few brothers who have fought together. I want to see if I can fish them out?" Cheng Mo said directly without hiding anything.

"Impossible, don't even think about it. The Japanese are watching. No one can come out of the camp unless they give them permission."

"Damn it, this is in the concession, isn't Japan's control too lenient?" Even though he knew this was the result, Cheng Mo couldn't help but curse.

"Xiao Mo, in this world, the strong are respected. The strong will not make friends with the weak. There is a collusion of interests between Japan and Britain and the United States. We want them to fall out unless their core interests are touched." Cheng Hua said.

Cheng Mo couldn't help but be amazed after hearing this. It was really impressive that a woman of such a background could have such understanding and be able to tell the root of the problem in one word. No wonder Dai Yunong treated her completely differently from other women.

"I want to try it out."
