Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

Chapter 199 Late Night Meeting

At twelve o'clock in the night, Li San dragged his lame leg into the public rental apartment.

Chen Yan patted his shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, San'er.

This battle must be fought, we must stand firm and not let that woman look down on us."

"I understand, brother. We don't need to talk about this."

Then Chen Yan looked at Li Yunlong: "Old Li, let San'er have a rest, we will go out to do something."

"Okay," Li Yunlong nodded efficiently.

At the same time, Tang Caiying sat on the sofa in the villa, so angry that her breathing became rapid.

"Okay, I understand. You don't have to worry about this matter anymore," she said, then hung up the phone and fell into thought.

"Sister, let Brother Yan beat up those thugs you called."

"Hmph~", Tang Caiying looked at Rudy unhappily.

"I have advised you before, but you refused to listen. Is my brother Yan someone that the Shanghai idiot can deal with?

Let me tell you this, when the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield heard that it was Brother Yan’s troops, the first thing they did was to write a collective suicide note.

You are far away from Shanghai, so there are some things you are not clear about.

In our northwest Shanxi, there is a book called: The Japanese devils killed by Chen Yan in those years... "

Listening to Rudy chattering about Chen Yan, Tang Caiying kicked the red wine glass into pieces, turned around and walked up the stairs angrily.

"Why did my family raise a traitor like you?"

When Rudy heard this, his face changed and he yelled at Tang Caiying who was going upstairs:

"Sister, don't be too ruthless. The Eighth Route Army has the support of the people, but it doesn't mean the Kuomintang can keep its throne.

If that day comes, don’t regret not leaving yourself a way out today."

Tang Caiying suddenly stopped and said coldly after a long while:

"Xiao Di, you are now so powerful that you dare to challenge me.

Okay, if you want me to help, I have to see how capable Chen Yan is first."

After saying that, Tang Caiying turned around and went back to the room on the second floor.

Rudy looked at the direction Tang Caiying left, staring blankly.

......

At night, two men wearing black windbreakers and top hats came to the door of No. 68, Lane 23, Hengmaoli.

"Old Li, this is the house, go inside."

The two men checked the surroundings, used the help of the gun to gain leverage, and easily climbed in.

The room was pitch black, and it didn't look like anyone was there.

"Chen'er, has that group of people moved away?"

Chen Yan didn't say anything, but took out his pistol and signaled Li Yunlong not to speak.

He loaded the bullet and said calmly to the inner room:

"Friend, if you have something to say, let's talk face to face."

At this time, Li Yunlong vigilantly pulled out his gun and pointed it at the inner room.

Chen Yan discovered clues in the room through the sound of breathing. Although the other party tried to weaken and reduce the frequency and intensity of breathing, it still could not escape Chen Yan's ears.

Not long after, a burly figure walked out of the room and gradually became clear in Chen Yan's vision.

It was him, the man called Brother Wang last night.

The man walked forward and stretched out his right hand, "Hello, Comrade Chen Yan, I am Wang Hu from the Shanghai Underground Party's Sophora japonica Action Group."

"Hello, how is that lady?" Chen Yan asked, holding Wang Hu's hand.

"Team Leader Li has woken up. She asked me to stay here and wait for you. Let's go."

Wang Hu spoke crisply and clearly, and Chen Yan did not waste time either, following behind him with Lao Li.

As soon as he came out of the alley, he saw a car waiting there. After Chen Yan got in the car, he was put on a black hood.

Chen Yan didn't say anything, but Li Yunlong complained dissatisfiedly: "It's obvious that you don't trust us."

Chen Yan didn't have so many thoughts on this. He just wanted to meet the contact person as soon as possible and resolve the equipment issue quickly.

To be honest, he didn't want to stay in Shanghai for a moment.

About an hour later, the car drove into a private alley. It was very remote and a bit out of place with the prosperity of Shanghai. There was only one homestay with lights on in the entire row.

Chen Yan followed Wang Hu into the lighted room and saw that the person lying on the bed was the woman Chen Yan had rescued last night.

The person in a white coat next to him should be a doctor or a nurse.

Wang Hu briefly spoke to the man in the white coat, then came to the bedside and called softly:

"Team Leader Li, I have invited the people."

The woman opened her eyes slightly, looking very weak, and said softly: "Help me up, please ask the comrades of the Eighth Route Army to come."

She leaned against the head of the bed, barely supporting her body, and stretched out her right hand: "Hello, Commander Chen, I am your contact Li Hong."

Wang Hu: “!!!”.

What? This young man in front of me is actually the commander of the Eighth Route Army. How old is he?

Wang Hu's eyes were full of doubts, but after thinking about it, he seemed to understand.

After all, the current organization of the troops is very chaotic. Even if he is in charge of 1,800 people, there are people called commanders, but it's just a title.

I guess he is just a regimental-level cadre at most. How could a senior commander come to Shanghai in person to carry out the mission?

Chen Yan stepped forward quickly and grasped the woman's hand, "Sister Li, you are so badly injured, don't be bound by conventional etiquette, just lie down."

“Commander Chen, you are indeed a young and promising man. This time, thanks to you, I was saved from No. 76, otherwise I would have been in big trouble.

Oh! I didn’t expect that the connection would be closed on the first day, and it almost got you into trouble."

Chen Yan poured a cup of hot water for Li Hong, placed it on the bedside, and said with a smile:

"Sister, it is already very difficult for you to operate under the enemy's nose. You don't have to blame yourself. However, I don't think this matter is so simple. It's not easy for you to be the head of the family."

Chen Yan stopped talking and didn't continue, but the look in his eyes spoke for itself.

To put it bluntly, if you have been pointed out, there must be a traitor. Investigate it immediately to avoid any further disaster.

Li Hong looked pale and nodded, "I understand what Commander Chen said.

Don't worry, Wang Hu and I are the only ones who know about this place, it's very safe."

Li Hong looked at Wang Hu again, "Old Wang, take the doctor and this comrade out for a while. Commander Chen and I want to discuss some work alone."

The comrade she was referring to was Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong saw Chen Yan nodding at him and then went out.

"Commander Chen, your mission this time to Shanghai is to obtain a batch of military equipment. My superiors have already informed me and I will fully cooperate. Please tell me what work you need me to do at this stage."

Hearing this, Chen Yan said seriously: "Sister, we are all from other places and have no connections in Shanghai, so our current difficulty is finding channels to get this batch of equipment."

Li Hong frowned and said with melancholy on her face: "This work is indeed very difficult!"

"Yes, the pressure is indeed great, and the time is tight and the task is heavy. However, this batch of equipment is related to how much combat effectiveness the Eighth Route Army can exert on the battlefield in the future, so we must get it.

You just need to provide the connections, and we’ll see whether to grab it or buy it when the time comes.”

"What?" Li Hong couldn't help but exclaimed, "In Shanghai, you still plan to rob? Don't do anything stupid."

Chen Yan curled his nose and said, "Sister, don't get excited, I just had this plan.

What's wrong with robbing? If pushed to that point, I wouldn't dare to touch even the Japanese Navy Special Marine Corps Headquarters."
