The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 34 Brothers reunited

Since Cheng Mo joined the Lixing Society and was ordered to lurk, he naturally had side tasks, but he refused Yu Mingshan to arrange manpower for him.

At the same time, he also refused the Shanghai Special Administrative Region to equip him with manpower and equipment.

He asked to set up a separate action group. To this end, Yu Mingshan specifically asked Dai Yunong for instructions. After all, he also knew the special relationship between Cheng Mo and Dai Yunong. Such people were really treated specially.

Dai Yunong agreed without thinking, because Cheng Mo had a relationship with Cheng Hua, and it might be a good thing if he didn't have a horizontal relationship with the Shanghai Special Administrative Region.

Yu Mingshan is also a smart man. Since Dai Yunong agreed to let Cheng Mo lurk alone, he naturally did a favor and removed Jiang Yun from the lurking list in the Shanghai Special Economic Zone and assigned him to Cheng Mo's leader alone.

Of course, Jiang Yun still doesn't know that the upline leader she was ordered to lurk in is Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo's action team currently only has three people, Cheng Mo and Jiang Yun who don't know the situation yet, and the other one is Shen Mo.

Shen Mo is his chief traffic officer.

After returning from the special training class, Cheng Hua stopped interfering in his activities. She may also know that he has also joined the Lixing Society and is disciplined. As a sister, she cannot ask too many questions about many things.

In fact, Cheng Mo himself was already secretly looking for an apartment. He couldn't always squeeze in a small apartment with his sister. This would be inconvenient for him and neither would his sister.

However, it is really difficult to find a suitable house in the concession now. There are so many refugees in the concession, the houses are basically full, and the rent has increased several times.

Therefore, we can only continue to make do.

The lone army camp was allowed to enter, but the British did not impose any strict requirements. Even interviews with reporters and condolences from the masses were allowed.

But there are soldiers from the merchant corps standing guard outside Gujun Camp. How many people go in and how many people come out. It is very difficult to bring people out from inside.

Cheng Mo was sure whether Wu Jianfeng and the others were inside. If they listened to him, they might not need to go to such trouble.

……

Concession·Shanghai Red Cross Hospital.

This hospital, where only high-ranking officials and dignitaries are usually allowed to stay, has a good environment and spacious wards. Now it is home to dozens of wounded soldiers who were evacuated from Sihang Warehouse.

Because they were injured, they were lucky enough not to be imprisoned in the lone camp.

After the injuries are healed, as long as they don't go to the lone camp, no one will lock them in. On the contrary, they are luckier than those who are intact.

They received the best medical care and at the same time gained their freedom.

Cheng Mo also inquired in many ways and learned that the wounded soldiers in Sihang Warehouse were first sent to the Racecourse and then sent here for follow-up treatment.

It’s been a month.

He didn't know if these guys had left. He had warned them before, but he just didn't know if they would listen to him.

After all, if you pretend to be injured, you will have to be discharged from the hospital within a week at most. Otherwise, this is not a waste of medical resources.

If they were stupid and rejoined the team and ran back, they would be in trouble.

Cheng Mo was also lucky to see Lao Miao's name in the wounded list. During the retreat, Lao Miao accidentally fell down the stairs and broke his calf.

His muscles and bones were injured for at least a hundred days. He couldn't walk and had to be kept in the hospital. Anyway, he had no worries about food and drink. Especially when he first came in, people came to express condolences every day and saw him as a hero.

When Cheng Mo saw him, the guy had gained a lot of weight and the wrinkles on his face had smoothed out. He was completely different.

"Brother Mo?" Lao Miao was stunned for a moment when he saw Cheng Mo. He didn't recognize him at first. After all, Cheng Mo's temperament and image have changed drastically. He is completely the same person as he was a month ago.

"Lao Miao, how are you? Can you compete with Kui Zi now?" Cheng Mo walked over with a smile and hugged Lao Miao on the hospital bed.

Lao Miao laughed "hehe". Between men, there is no need to say anything more.

"Brother Mo, I'm so happy to see you again." Lao Miao's eyes were red, recalling the time when we fought together, the kind of comradeship, the kind of life-and-death brotherhood that gave each other's back. , who in this life can forget?
  "Where are Kuizi and Dachun?"

"Kuizi's injury has long been cured. He was discharged from the hospital half a month ago. He came to see me the day before yesterday and said that he had found a job. He would wait until I was discharged from the hospital and then return to the army together. Dachun and Deputy Wu Company didn't listen to you. I guess they didn't listen to you. Now he is being held in Gujun Camp." Lao Miao said.

"Hey, forget it, how are your legs?" Looking at Lao Miao's calf wrapped in plaster, Cheng Mo asked with concern.

"I did it on purpose. I didn't expect that I actually broke my leg. I'm old and useless." Lao Miao said embarrassedly.

"Kuizi didn't tell you where he lives?"

"I did mention that he was at Shiliupu Wharf. I don't know what he was doing specifically, but I saw that his face was dark and his fingernails were also dark. He was probably working as a coolie." Lao Miao went over. He is a good helper in the world of gangsters. He is a good helper when lurking in the concession in the future.

"Well, if he comes to see you, just tell him not to go back to the army and just follow me," Cheng Mo said.

"That's great. I heard that the large forces are retreating and preparing to defend Nanjing City, right?" Lao Miao agreed. He had seen Cheng Mo's abilities with his own eyes. "I'm not very clear about the specific situation. It's just a mess. Even if you look for the old army now, you may not be able to find it." Cheng Mo picked up an apple and started peeling it.

"Brother Mo, what are you doing now?"

"I didn't think about it. My sister found me a job in the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau. I don't know if it is suitable for me. If not, I will quit and start my own business."

"Brother Mo, in fact, we all know that you are a capable person. If you are so good at fighting, it is the same with anything else. I am already in my early forties. If I stay in the army, I will not be able to serve for more than a few years. Maybe one day I will be glorious. Well, I can’t help but leave a queen for the old Miao family..."

"Okay, come on, eat an apple and recover well. I'll come see you in two days." Cheng Mo left a phone number for Lao Miao and asked him to call him if he had anything to do.

Kui Zi was working hard at Shiliupu Wharf, while Wu Jianfeng and Dachun were at Gujun Camp. Any news was better than no news.

Let’s find Kuizi first.

Wu Jianfeng and Dachun will be fine in Gujun Camp for a while.

Shiliupu Pier is not small, with tens of thousands of coolies working hard. Now refugees are pouring into the concession. Shiliupu Pier is between the French Concession and the Public Concession, and is a no-nonsense area.

Although this area is unattended, it does not mean that there is no order, and the Qinggang is the one who maintains the order and rules here.

If you want to find someone here, relying solely on your own strength, unless you are extremely lucky, it will be really difficult.

The coolies at the dock were all illiterate people who couldn't read, so sometimes it was useless to search for people in newspapers.

Only the power of gangs.

Shiliupu Wharf is Huang Jinrong's territory. Even though he is now hiding in the French Concession and building an apartment, his disciples are all over Shantang and his influence is still great.

But for such a trivial matter as finding a coolie, you don’t need to go to “Boss Huang”, which is too cheap.

Cheng Mo's status in the gang came into play.

In less than three days, he got the news about Kuizi's coal yard. Of course, he also spent some money, so there was no way anyone could work in vain.

Kuizi is not a local, and he is a gangster. Although he works as a coolie at the lowest level, he is bullied from time to time. This kind of experience for a hero who fights against the Japanese and kills the enemy on the battlefield is really sad to see.

He didn't even dare to reveal his identity, otherwise he would be in a lot of trouble if he was recognized.

Cheng Mo found him when the coolies were having their lunch. Each person had two cold black steamed buns, plus a bowl of soup with floating vegetable leaves and pickles. Not only were these foods devoid of nutrition, they would be difficult to eat for a long time. , the body will get worse and worse the more we eat.

"Kuizi!"

Suddenly hearing such a familiar voice, Kui Zi looked up and when he saw Cheng Mo, the tall and thick man couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Let's go, we won't do this anymore, I'll take you to dinner!" Cheng Mo stepped forward and dragged Kui Zi away.

Kuizi is the best observer and also has the talent of a sniper. He should not waste his great youth on this meaningless hard work.

I took Kuizi to have a meal, bought him a set of clothes, took a bath, put on new clothes, and then went to the Red Cross Hospital to see Lao Miao.

"Lao Miao, Kui Zi, the reason why I didn't agree to Camp Commander Yang's enlistment is actually because I had already joined another organization, so I had no choice but to refuse." Cheng Mo also told the two Mings about his thoughts. Brothers of destiny, there is no need to hide some things.

"Brother Mo, you're not going to join the Communist Party, are you?"

"Old Miao, do you still know about the Communist Party?" Cheng Mo was slightly surprised.

"I know a little bit. This Communist Party team is really fighting against Japan. They seem to have won a big victory in Shanxi. I've heard a lot about it in the hospital these days."

"You're talking about the Pingxingguan victory, right?" Cheng Mo said, "I've also heard that a whole brigade of Japanese were killed. But I didn't join the Communist Party. I joined Lixingshe, and my official identity was the Second Division of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission. Leader of the action team in Shanghai Special Economic Zone."

"Brother Mo, are you an official?"

"Team leader, I'm not an official. I heard that all the officers and soldiers in Gujun Camp have been promoted to one level. Lao Miao, your and Kuizi's ranks have been raised, and your salary has also been improved."

"I am a second lieutenant on the battlefield. I wonder if Shangfeng recognizes me?" Before Kui Zi was injured, he was a sergeant and acting platoon leader. According to the commendation order of the Nationalist Government, Kui Zi is now a serious second lieutenant officer.

"Lao Miao was a first-class soldier before the war. He was promoted one level for meritorious service and became a corporal. Now he is promoted one level and he is a sergeant."

"Brother Mo, what is your military rank?"

"My military rank was awarded by the Second Division of the Military Regulation Bureau. I am currently a captain." Cheng Mo said.

"Then we will all have to call you sir from now on." Lao Miao joked. When we met again, the relationship between the three of them quietly changed.

PS: Thanks to Boss Zhuo and the previous brothers for their rewards, Xiaofeng would like to thank you!
