The Public Concession is the earliest concession in the history of the Celestial Concession, with the longest existence, the largest area, the most prosperous economy, the most perfect laws, the largest management organization, and the most fully developed.

Due to the outbreak of the Battle of Song and Shanghai, the Japanese army, which also enjoyed the interests of the concession, completely occupied the concession north of the Suzhou River with the advantage of victory. As for the public concession on the other side of the river, the other interest countries in the concession were jointly managed and defended.

Faced with the vigilance of other interest countries, the Japanese army, which had decided to invade the Celestial Empire in an all-round way, could only give up the ambition of annexing the public concession. The Japanese army and all parties to the concession interest countries ignored the existence of the Celestial Empire and reached a private agreement to maintain the status quo.

With the end of the Sihang Warehouse Defense Warehouse Defense gunfire that had resounded throughout Shanghai seemed to have subsided. But for the warehouse defenders who had withdrawn into the concession, the result after withdrawing into the concession was something they did not expect.

Looking at the officers and soldiers of the first battalion who were guarded by soldiers of the Wanguo Merchants Regiment in the Concession, they still felt a little angry. In their opinion, the foreigners in the Concession guarded them like prisoners of war.

Although there is no need to worry about food and clothing, some soldiers still said dissatisfied: "Why should these foreigners lock us up here? Didn't you say that you would go back to the old army after retreating? Why did you let us disarm and send troops to guard us?"

"Who knows! I heard from the troupe that Shangfeng is negotiating with foreign devils, wait and see! Staying here is not bad, at least you don't have to worry about food and clothing. If you really want to go out, you will probably have to have sex with the devils!"

"Just eat it! I'm afraid of a ball! Those who have all died once are still afraid of fighting with the Japanese?"

Listening to the private discussion of these soldiers, Qin Tianyou, the third squad leader of the machine gun company, was also curious: "Company Commander, what do the regiment commander say?"

"You ask me, who will I ask? The group is now locked up here like us, so let it go!"

Lei Xiong, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth, was actually very frustrated and angry. During the days when they fought fiercely with the Japanese in the warehouse, they all felt that they were heroes. When they received the order to retreat, they felt that they had finally completed the combat mission successfully.

Logically speaking, they should be rewarded and promoted. But in fact, they ruthlessly poured a bunch of cold water on them. First, they were persuaded by Shangfeng and confiscated their weapons to the foreign devils. Then they were deceived by the foreign devils and were forcibly detained in this ghost place.

Although they don’t have to worry about food and clothing, the taste of losing their freedom still makes the officers and soldiers feel wronged and cowardly. But their upsurge always persuades them to be more patient and give them some time to deal with negotiations.

For many officers, they knew in their hearts that they would have to wait for a long time to reach a conclusion when they were expected to reach a peak. If life safety was not temporarily guaranteed, they would be afraid that many officers and soldiers would find ways to escape.

"Oh, I don't know how that boy Biaozi is doing! That boy shouldn't die that easily, right?"

Thinking of Hu Biao who resolutely went to the river to bomb a ship when he retreated, Qin Tianyou was still very worried about it. But seeing his situation at this moment, he suddenly felt that Hu Biao's departure was perhaps the wisest choice.

If Hu Biao was still alive, he would have felt glad that he was not imprisoned in the lonely military camp like them. But in Qin Tianyou's heart, he felt that the patrol ship was bombed at that time, and I was afraid that Hu Biao's ending would not be too wonderful.

The most important thing is that the weather is so cold now that Hu Biao, who has been in the river for a night, is unlikely to survive!

Faced with Qin Tianyou's worries, the company commander Lei Xiong also sighed: "That boy, I still owe him a drink!"

Thinking of Hu Biao's resolute arrival at the time, Lei Xiong felt very sad. As the company commander of the machine gun company, Lei Xiong had seen the sacrifices of too many subordinates. But for some reason, he always felt guilty towards Hu Biao.

In fact, the two of them didn't know that they had been worried about these days. Hu Biao, who was discussing at this moment, was standing not far from the military camp, paying attention to the situation in and around the military camp.

Seeing that the detained comrades were fucked as usual, Hu Biao said with some relief: "It seems that they will not be in danger of life in a short period of time. I just want to save them, but I am afraid it will be very troublesome!"

Hu Biao, who successfully got into the public concession, knew very well that there were countless pairs of eyes like him, paying attention to the situation of this lonely army. In fact, the telescope he used at this moment was also obtained from a Japanese spy.

Even from the Japanese spy who was resolved, Hu Biao also came to a conclusion that was very angry and later felt very reasonable. That is, the foreign devils agreed to evacuate the first battalion by way of passage, more so to deceive the first battalion.

The reason is very simple. The Sihang Warehouse guarded by the first battalion is next to the concession. The foreigners on the other side of the Suzhou River heard the sound of gunfire from the warehouse and were worried that the Japanese army might take the opportunity to attack the concession.

For the foreigners in the public concession, they were naturally very angry at the Japanese army's brazen invasion of Shanghai. The problem is that as long as the Japanese army does not infringe on their rights, they do not want to cause too much trouble.

The military strength shown by the Japanese army at this moment still made these foreigners very afraid. In their opinion, becoming a neutral person on this battlefield is most in line with their interests.

Both the Japanese army and the national government that is ruling at this moment need to seek their support. But to a certain extent, these foreigners are not willing to offend the Japanese army, and are even more unwilling to be involved in this war.

"Birds of a feather! It's a pity that Chiang Kai-shek is still hoping that all countries can mediate this war and stop the Japanese military operations. But he didn't know that the Japanese are already heading towards his lair at this moment. How can we not lose in this kind of war?"

Compared to later generations, Hu Biao, who had experienced the Anti-Japanese War at this moment, felt that many problems could be seen more clearly. Even Hu Biao believed that many people understood this truth, but still could not stop the national war from spreading.

The safety of a country is entrusted to the mediation of other countries. How can this manifestation of lack of confidence be respected by others?

After staying outside the lonely military camp for a while, Hu Biao finally chose to leave. Even if he wanted to start a rescue, Hu Biao felt that Xie Jinyuan and others might not leave as he wished. From the moment he was detained, fate seemed to be destined.

To put it simply, leaving the barracks alone must obtain the consent of the National Government. Forcibly breaking through the siege or fighting fire with the guarded foreign troops will only anger the high-ranking foreigners in the concession. The other end is light and the other end is heavy, and the answer is self-evident.

Hu Biao, who thought about this clearly, sighed: "It is undoubtedly a very sad thing to place your destiny on others. It seems that this soldier cannot be regarded as. Even if you fight the Japanese, you must have the final say!"

The experiences of these comrades-in-arms made Hu Biao full of distrust of the bosses of the National Government. With Hu Biao's own personality, he felt that it would be better to leave his destiny to him.

Through the observations over the past two days, Hu Biao decided to find an appropriate opportunity to sneak into the lonely barracks to inquire about the situation. If possible, he still hopes to save a few people. Even if he fights the Japanese, he still needs help!

After leaving the lonely military camp, Hu Biao quickly arrived at a hospital behind the concession. After changing into military uniforms, Hu Biao successfully got into the rear hospital for treating the injured. This time he came to the hospital, he also found some contact.

According to the information I found out in the past two days, many wounded soldiers were sent here in the troops evacuated into the concession earlier. Compared with those detained comrades, these injured people who were sent to the hospital in the rear were lucky to escape.

Looking at the wounded soldiers who were being treated in the hospital, Hu Biao felt that the rear hospital would be withdrawn in a short while. As the Japanese continued to advance towards Nanjing, the hospital had to be transferred to the rear.

If possible, Hu Biao also hopes to purchase some medicines to store them. With the outbreak of war, drugs will become scarce products in the future. Whether it is value-preserving or life-saving, it is very useful.

Just as Hu Biao was looking for someone to visit, a familiar figure appeared in front of Hu Biao. Seeing the other party leaning against the wall and smoking, Hu Biao suddenly stepped forward and said, "Xu Sandao!"

"arrive!"

In places like hospitals, the wounded are naturally forbidden to smoke. But Hu Biao knew in his heart that in this era of chaos, the discipline of soldiers was extremely limited. In particular, most of the wounded soldiers who had been on the battlefield seemed unruly.

Xu Sandao, who instantly snatched the cigarette in his hand, was frightened by the sudden sound. When he turned around, he looked at Hu Biao with a smirk and said in shock: "Brother Biaozi, Oh my God! You are still alive!"

"What! With the little Japanese kung fu, they are still a little tender if they want my life!"

After giving Hu Biao a heavy hug, Xu Sandao said carefully: "How did you get in?"

Xu Sandao naturally knew about the first battalion being detained. In his opinion, Hu Biao suddenly appeared in the hospital and was definitely not coming in openly. If Hu Biao showed his ID, I believe the guards would take him away as soon as possible.

The reason is very simple. Hu Biao didn't know that at this moment he had been recognized as a lone hero by the military headquarters. If he was alive, he would definitely be promoted by the hero. But Hu Biao thought he was not interested in being such a hero!
