Cao Ning had no choice but to take out the pen and paper, and according to the numbers on the broadcast, he received it.

After collecting it, Cao Ning translated the password.

"Suspend all actions! Wait for notice."

Cao Ning excitedly threw the telegram into the sky. However, the paper was very light and could not be thrown up. It flew slowly to the ground on Cao Ning's head.

At this time, the Battle of Songhu had been fighting for a week.

After several days of hard fighting, the 87th Division of the National Army occupied Hujiang University, and the 88th Division occupied Wuzhou Cemetery, Baoshan Bridge, Bazi Bridge and other key points. The Supplementary Brigade of the Second Division (renamed the Independent 20th Brigade) replaced the 88th Division (Sun Yuanliang's troops) to defend Shanghai Patriotic Girls' School, Zhizhi University, and was responsible for the task of attacking the Japanese Command of Hongkou Park and Jiangwan Road.

Emperor Hirohito of Japan ordered General Matsui Ishione to command the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army, commanding the 3rd Division, the 11th Division and other troops to attack Shanghai, further expanding the war of aggression against China.

After the Japanese reinforcements landed on the rear of the Chinese army, China was no longer able to destroy the Japanese Marines. The Chinese army commander led by Chiang Kai-shek considered that fighting in Shanghai was easier than fighting in the far northern plains and avoiding the Japanese army with superior power. Moreover, going to war in Shanghai, where foreign leased loans, was very likely to cause interference from major power forces, and it might win a glorious peace with foreign mediation, which would then thwart the Japanese army's ambitions for North China, which was extremely beneficial to the relatively weak China.

On the day the Japanese army captured Cao Ning, a huge fleet led by the Japanese Nagamon and Muo battleships transported about 10,000 vanguards of the Japanese Shanghai Expeditionary Army from Japan to the Ma'an Islands. In the evening, the Japanese army took a light cruiser in the Ma'an Islands and then drove into Chuansha Town and Wusongkou area respectively.

At this point, the Kuomintang successively invested 8 armies and 48 divisions, 15 independent brigades, 9 temporary brigades, the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps, the 7th Artillery Regiment, the Tax Police Corps of the Ministry of Finance, 1 military police regiment, the Shanghai Security Corps, the Shanghai Police Corps, the Jiangsu Provincial Security Corps, and the 3 naval fleets, with a total number of troops exceeding 600,000. The Japanese army invested 5 divisions and 1 brigade and reached 130,000.

After the Chinese and Japanese troops increased, the fierce battle between the two sides became more intense.

Starting from August 23, under the cover of dense firepower of naval guns, the 3rd and 11th Divisions landed at the Wusongkou Railway Wharf, Lion Forest, Chuanshakou, and attacked the Chinese positions of Baoshan, Yuepu, Luodian, and Lizaobang.

Zhang Zhizhong sent Wang Jingjiu to be the commander of the front enemy in Songhu, commanding the troops under the 9th Army to fight against the landing of the Japanese army. At the same time, under the command of Luo Zhuoying, the newly formed 15th Army launched a counterattack against the enemy landing in Baoshan and Chuanshakou. The 98th Division defeated the Japanese army that captured the Lion Forest on August 24 and annihilated thousands of enemies.

The 11th Division braved the planes to bombard Luodian; the Japanese army was unwilling to fail and mobilized tanks, aircraft and heavy artillery to counterattack, and launched a tug-of-war around Luodian. The defending positions changed hands several times. On the 29th, Luodian was caught in the enemy again. Huang Wei, who had just returned from Germany to the front line, led the 67th Division to break in and was immediately repelled.

At this time, the generals of the Military Commission stared at the Military Commission and other intelligence departments and asked for information. However, the intelligence department could not produce valuable information.

"Director Dai, where is your ace? At this time, it is the time to be needed. Why doesn't he provide information?" Minister He asked.

One admiral said, "It must be a fear of the devil."

When Dai Li saw those people want to make trouble, he reported to the old man: "The last time Huangniao took the risk of sending back information to Nanjing, he suddenly lost contact. We estimate that he had a critical situation."

The old man asked: "Diet? Or captured?"

"Our people learned in Shanghai that the Japanese army surrounded his sending place that day, and after a fierce battle, he escaped."

In fact, many people present had heard of this. The ace agent of the Military Control Commission was almost gone.

When the old man heard that Cao Ning was not dead, he felt relieved: "Can you contact him?"

Dai Li said: "I call him every day, but no one who went to Shanghai to contact him was able to contact him. I guess he was seriously injured and was recovering from his injuries and could not hear our calls."

Having said that, no one has paid attention to Cao Ning anymore.

Just as Dai Li was dealing with the generals, Cao Ning saw a newspaper in Shanghai, which was actually the recruitment notice in the newspaper.

This was Han Xue's notice, she arrived in Shanghai.

Since leaving Nanjing, Cao Ning has not seen Han Xue for twenty days.

The next day, according to the contact address, Cao Ning came to Shanghai Dahua Cotton Weaving Factory.

In a row of shops in front of Dahua Cotton Weaving Factory, Cao Ning saw the sign of the Warm Towel Shop.

Dahua Cotton Weaving Factory mainly produces towels. Therefore, merchants from all over the country will come here to purchase goods. Over time, there are hotels, restaurants, small restaurants, daily necessities, bathhouses and massage rooms.

The most common one is the towel shop. The owners here are all opened by people who have a relationship with Dahua Factory. They receive customers from all over the world and supply them.

Cao Ning didn't expect that Han Xue could open a towel shop here.

When Cao Ning entered the store, Han Xue was busy discussing business with the same man and woman. For the price of one cent, she took more than ten minutes.

Cao Ning admires Han Xue for her role.

At this time, Han Xue smiled and greeted Cao Ning and asked him to sit down and rest.

"The boss is here, please wait. I'll receive you after I finish my work."

Han Xue smiled and said to Cao Ning.

Han Xue was very happy to see that Cao Ning was intact.

"You are busy! I'll go out to smoke a cigarette."

Towel shops are all flammable, so you can't smoke here.

After Cao Ning came out, he walked around the market.

This place is pretty good. In an emergency, you can hide in the factory. If you want to break into the factory and catch people, you need to spend some effort.

And it’s very noisy here, so I don’t worry about hearing it.

Cao Ning couldn't help but praise: "What a place where fish and dragons are mixed."

After changing the terrain, Cao Ning returned to the Warm Towel Shop.

I was just meeting Han Xue to send the guest out.

The two returned to the store and Han Xue closed the store door.

"Tell me your situation." Han Xue said seriously.

Cao Ning told all about his behavior in Shanghai.

"Yan'an is very worried about you!" Han Xue said this after hearing this.

"Thank you!" Cao Ning thanked both Yan'an and Han Xue.

Han Xue took Cao Ning to the basement.

This basement was originally owned by the shop owner, who built this basement with a storage product. The basement is not big, and it is also 6 or 7 square meters.

"Yan'an asked me to ask you how you got the information from the Japanese army."

Cao Ning was shocked! He was too arrogant in his work.
