In the blink of an eye, a week passed, and it has been half a month since Lu Xiyan returned to Shanghai.

The situation is still very simple, and there is basically no good news in the newspaper. Either it is lost or it is captured there.

The Japanese army still had an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield, but their offensive momentum slowed down a little.

But on the front battlefield, the Kuomintang army is not their opponent, and they are almost beaten without the strength to fight back. The biggest problem of themselves is that the front line is too long!

There is also the issue of military strength.

Although some people realized this problem, the war commanders on the front line had already been blinded by victory, and they kept moving forward and moving forward again!

Under the stimulation of a series of victories, when I turned around, I saw that the fewer and fewer soldiers under my command were fighting?

In addition to the damage to the war, we also have to divide the troops and fight each other's traffic. Otherwise, the supply line will be cut off, and no matter how sharp the Japanese army's armor is, it will be useless.

Because this is modern warfare, not the kind of cold weapons in ancient times, their way of fighting with war is of great useless to fight.

Although the national army is very weak and incompetent, one thing that is to do is to strengthen the walls and clear the fields.

Without ammunition, advanced weapons cannot exert combat effectiveness, without gasoline, tanks, cars cannot drive, and inland China, intra-land traffic, warships cannot board the shore, heavy weapons cannot be towed, even airplanes must be subject to the weather...

This kind of rise and fall of the other can be seen and felt, and this is the benefit of the large earth and complex climate.

Even if the Japanese did a lot of detailed homework before the war started, the difficulties were much greater than they expected when they were put into practice.

What's more, behind the area they occupied, hundreds of thousands of people spontaneously anti-Japanese armed forces rose up one after another, and launched a resolute resistance movement in the countryside and mountainous areas where they were less than tentacles.

This is a war that determines the fate of the entire nation. Even if only one-tenth of the Chinese people took up weapons, it was unbearable for the Japanese army.

Therefore, while winning over Wang Zhaoming, the Japanese kept using threats and intimidation to lure Chongqing to surrender.

"Xiyan, the Huamei Evening News said that Chongqing was bombed by the Japanese army again yesterday, killing many people." Meng Fanxing looked a little depressed when he came home from school after class.

"When the two countries fight, the civilians attack, the Japanese army has no limit on humanity. This war is to live to the death, only one survives." Lu Xiyan also knew that since last year, the Japanese Army and Navy Aviation began to bomb Chongqing.

The Kuomintang army suffered heavy losses in the early stages of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Although the Soviet Union later assisted some fighter jets and even sent air teams to assist in the war, it was ultimately defeated by the Japanese army, allowing the Japanese army to control most of China's sky to air supremacy.

If there is no air supremacy, you will have to be bombed.

"Today, the Shanghai Professional Women's Club and the Women's Rescue Association had more than a dozen other women helping themselves. The self-rescue group launched a fundraising campaign to donate to the Chongqing people who died in the bombing. I also donated a thousand yuan." Meng Fanxing said.

"Well, it should be fine. In the future, when encountering such a thing, it's okay for us to donate money, but we should also pay attention to the degree and not let people catch the handle." Lu Xiyan reminded that he did not object to Meng Fanxing's donation for the anti-Japanese patriotism, but sometimes if you do it, you will easily be targeted by traitors and spies.

This kind of thing is not about donating as much as you have. You have to pay attention to the way of struggle and protect your own safety. If every underground worker works with his passion, it is to give heads to the enemy.

"I know that the number I donated is not the most. Even if someone pays attention, I won't pay much attention." Meng Fanxing nodded. There is still some experience in fighting.

"You'd better go to these gatherings less. The public concession is now undercurrents. The Japanese support No. 76 and threaten and harm anti-Japanese patriots. The authorities of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce are turning a blind eye to them. There are many rebels who have been arrested by the Military Control Commission, and there are endless traitors." Lu Xiyan also felt the huge threat from the '76'.

His intuition was not wrong at the beginning. After Ding Mocun and Lin Shiqun became the Japanese minions, their destructive power was far greater than that of the zodiac and other gangster gangs supported by the Japanese.

"Madam, someone downstairs called you?" He Xiaofen knocked on the door and reported.

"Who is it, did she say it?"

"I'm a woman, said she was a long-distance call, and she called from Hong Kong."

"Hong Kong, is it Mengyao?" Meng Fanxing and Lu Xiyan looked at each other, and they all thought it was Xi Mengyao. The phone number in Hong Kong, everyone who knew about the family was all from the family.

"I'll go down and answer the phone, especially Mengyao and Xiaohao have a quarrel." Meng Fanxing was a little worried. The couple was really worried about being sisters.

...

"Hey, Mengyao..."

"Fanxing, can't even hear my sister's voice?" The other end of the phone was obviously the voice of a woman who was a little older, obviously not Xi Mengyao.

This scared Meng Fanxing. She didn't tell her number to outsiders, especially in Hong Kong, she had no female friends.

"Who are you?"

"You have only been back to Shanghai for a few days and forgot my sister. We are neighbors."

Neighbor? A flash of inspiration flashed in Meng Fanxing's mind. In Hong Kong, the only one who knew the neighbors she knew at home was the one who knew the phone number at home.

"Hello, Mrs. Zhou, sorry, the voice on the phone is a little distorted. I really didn't hear it for a while." Meng Fanxing said hurriedly, it was Zhou Fuhai's wife Yang Shuhui.

This was really surprising. She remembered that she had indeed given her phone number at home, but she didn't expect that she would actually call her back.

"Yes, the phone has been transmitted for thousands of miles, and the sound is a bit different. Besides, I have been making a sound these days..." Two coughing sounds came from the other end of the phone.

"Mrs. Zhou, I'm so embarrassed. I've been very busy since I came back and didn't call you. Besides, I dare not call your phone number, for fear of disturbing Mr. Zhou..."

"It's okay, it's okay, our Fuhai people are very open-minded." Yang Shuhui laughed happily on the other end of the phone, "Sister Fanxing, my sister misses you. On the Hong Kong side, I can't understand a single word they said..."

"Yes, I'm very troublesome to listen to Cantonese..."

...

"Sir, your coffee."

"Xiao Le, why is it you, Meimei?"

"My wife is talking on the phone downstairs and asked me to send it to you." Xiaole explained.

"How long has it been since she talked about the phone? She is still talking about the phone. Why are the two brothers and sisters the same? This is a long-distance phone call. It's really not a good deal for phone bills." Lu Xiyan twisted his hat and stood up and said, "I'll go down and take a look. What do you mean? Can't you tell a long story?"

"Xiyan, I found that Xiaohao is right. The richer the person is, the more stingy he is. That's what you are like. Isn't it just a phone call? Do you keep it all day long?" Meng Fanxing walked in from outside the study room and ridiculed Lu Xiyan mercilessly.

"Didn't you say that the family's expenses are getting bigger and bigger, so you should pay attention to saving? Am I thinking about the problem from your perspective? Are you still blaming me?"

"I can't tell you, by the way, guess who called me just now?" Meng Fanxing asked.

"Sir, Madam, I'll go out first." Xiaole bowed slightly and said.

"Well, you go down and rest first." Lu Xiyan nodded. Although Xiaole is his own person, it is best not to say something in front of her.

"It's Yang Shuhui and Zhou Fuhai's wife." Meng Fanxing approached Lu Xiyan and said.

"She?" Lu Xiyan was surprised this time. He never thought that the person who made the call was Zhou Fuhai's wife Yang Shuhui, and it was at this time.

It was midnight, if it weren't for someone close to you, how could you call you?

"What did she tell you?"

"I didn't say anything, I just made some homework, asked about the weather, prices, etc. in Shanghai," Meng Fanxing said, "There are some women's words."

"Homework?" Lu Xiyan frowned slightly. Meng Fanxing had contacted this woman because she saved Yang Shuhui's son once, but the contact between the two parties was still maintained at a certain distance.

"Tell me what she asked you in detail." Lu Xiyan said.

At this time, Meng Fanxing had also thought about it and came. The phone call tonight did not seem ordinary, and they were just ordinary neighbors in Hong Kong. They only occasionally made an appointment to go out for a few walks.

"She asked me about the weather in Shanghai these days and the prices in the concession. By the way, she also asked about the public security situation in Shanghai, and seemed to have unusual concerns about this." Meng Fanxing is also an underground intelligence worker. Although she does not need her to obtain information, she can immediately detect a trace of unusual smell from Yang Shuhui's phone clock just now.

"Meimei, a person far away in Hong Kong, what is she doing for her care about the situation in Shanghai?" Lu Xiyan asked.

"She is coming to Shanghai, inquire about the situation in advance and prepare."

"A very logical inference is that Yang Shuhui will not come to Shanghai alone, just a woman. If she wants to come, she must have been with Zhou Fuhai. It seems that the Japanese have had substantial contact with Wang Zhaoming." Lu Xiyan analyzed and judged.

"Yes, Xiyan, you are right in your analysis. Zhou Fuhai is coming to Shanghai, so it is very likely to be a call to Wang Zhaoming for a front station. Otherwise, why do they have to come to Shanghai?" Meng Fanxing said excitedly. Yang Shuhui's phone call revealed such top-secret information.

"However, we know that they are coming in time, and there is no way to organize it, because we don't know when they will come or what kind of transportation they take. Moreover, the Japanese will definitely protect them closely. Even if they know the itinerary, it will be difficult to get started." Lu Xiyan said.

"What should I do?" Meng Fanxing's mood was as if he was poured from head to toe by a basin of cold water.

"At least we can warn in advance to minimize the harm before Wang Ni officially surrenders to the enemy." Lu Xiyan said.

"us?"
