Chapter 907 Decides to Take Action
Feeling frustrated and anxious, Fan Biao picked up a cigarette from the stool next to him, lit it, and pondered how to rescue his men while smoking.
"Oh, sir, the doctor said you can't smoke during your recovery period, you can't smoke! Why don't you listen?" The old servant came out of the kitchen and saw Fan Biao smoking. He hurriedly came over and said.
Fan Biao, puffing on his cigarette, waved his hand and said, "You can't completely trust what doctors say. Old Tan, I want to go out tonight to make a phone call. Could you go buy me a wheelchair and push me out after dinner?"
The old servant knew that Fan Biao might really be in trouble, so he agreed, "Okay, but where can we buy this wheelchair?"
Fan Biao said, "Go to the hospital and ask around. Those patients with wheelchairs should know where to buy them. Be careful not to be seen on your way back."
"Yes, old slave, go now!"
Old Tan didn't return until 2 PM, bringing back a large cardboard box on a handcart.
It was already 4 p.m. when the wheelchair was loaded. After Fan Biao sat in the wheelchair, Lao Tan went to make dinner. The two ate together and waited until after 9 p.m., when most of the nearby residents had gone home to rest, before they went out.
"Let's go here!" Old Tan pushed Fan Biao for several miles until they arrived at a public telephone booth.
During this time, they passed several phone booths, but Fan Biao did not stop at any of them because they were too close to his residence.
At this time, apart from the French Concession, the Japanese could be said to have controlled everything in Shanghai. All telephone lines of the telephone exchange had long been monitored, and if the Japanese wanted to, they would know which telephone any call came from.
Hong Kong Island.
After dinner, Zhang Yunhe was urging his two children with Liu Huilan to study. With their mother gone, he, as their father, had to take charge of their education. It was unreliable to leave them in the care of his two aunts. It wasn't that he didn't trust them; after all, these two children weren't their biological offspring. If these two children were to be raised with their own children, it would be impossible for anyone to treat them equally.
"Read carefully, Dad is going to the bathroom," Zhang Yunhe patted the two children's heads, then got up and left the room.
Upon arriving at the villa's study, Zhang Yunhe closed the door, took out his Ironblood computer, and pressed a button to answer the phone.
"Hey?"
Fan Biao's voice came through the phone: "Something's happened!"
"What happened?" Zhang Yunhe's eyes narrowed.
"More than 120 of my dock gang members were captured by the Japanese. More than 50 of them succumbed to torture and temptation and became traitors. The other 70 refused to surrender and were sentenced to death. The Japanese have decided to execute them in half a month," Fan Biao said on the phone.
Zhang Yunhe frowned: "Weren't you hiding away to recover from your injuries? How did you know about this?"
"This was even in the newspaper, how could I not know? Old Tan bought the newspaper this morning; he buys a newspaper every morning when he goes out to buy groceries."
Upon hearing Fan Biao's words, Zhang Yunhe immediately realized that this was a vicious scheme by the Japanese. He said, "The Japanese deliberately had someone publish this story in the newspaper to lure you out. As soon as you go out, the ubiquitous agents of the 76th Division and the Special Higher Police will find you!"
Fan Biao, with a bitter face, held the receiver in the public phone booth and said, "Of course I know this is a vicious trap set by the Japanese to lure me out. I know it's a trap, but I have no choice but to jump in. Those 70-plus people are my brothers in arms. How can I watch them be killed one by one by the Japanese?"
Zhang Yunhe asked, "So what were you thinking when you made this call to me?"
Fan Biao said, "I have to take action. I can't watch them die. Given my current situation, it's very likely I won't be able to come back. I'm afraid I won't be able to continue fighting the Japanese with you in the future!"
Zhang Yunhe said decisively, "Your legs are still injured, how can you move? Alright, you don't need to worry about this. Just stay hidden and recover from your injuries. Don't cause me any trouble. I'll figure something out!"
Fan Biao quickly said, "Sir, this is clearly a trap set by the Japanese. There are more than 70 people, and the number of Japanese soldiers guarding them is definitely not small. It is almost impossible to rescue them all. You cannot take the risk!"
"I know what I'm doing and won't act rashly. You stay there and hide well, don't reveal your whereabouts. After you finish the call, go back immediately. That's an order!"
Zhang Yunhe hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking, not giving Fan Biao a chance to continue.
After lighting a cigarette and thinking for a while, Zhang Yunhe dialed Ma Dazhi's home phone number again.
"Hello?" Ma Dazhi's voice came from the phone.
Zhang Yunhe asked, "It's me. Have you seen today's newspaper? The Japanese have arrested more than 120 dockworkers, and they've decided to execute the die-hards in two weeks."
Ma Dazhi said, "I read the newspaper. This is clearly a Japanese conspiracy; anyone with eyes can see it! By the way, was Fan Biao rescued last time?"
"He's been rescued and is currently recuperating in a secret, safe place!" Zhang Yunhe said.
Upon hearing this, Ma Dazhi immediately said, "It's obvious that the Japanese are doing this to lure Fan Biao out. I bet they've prepared a big feast for this!"
"Whether it's a big meal or a banquet, we must save those people. We can't let the Japanese devils get away with this. I want you to use your informants to find out where they're being held!" Zhang Yunhe said.
Ma Dazhi asked, "Is it enough to just find out where they are being held?"
“Yes, just finding out where they are being held is enough. If we investigate further, we might expose ourselves!” Zhang Yunhe said.
"Okay, I know!"
Zhang Yunhe recalled the intelligence Matsui had secretly reported to him that morning and said, "I have some intelligence here. It seems that the Japanese are about to organize forces to attack Zhejiang and Jiangxi. This time they will use the 11th Army and the 13th Army, a total of 7 main divisions, 3 mixed brigades, 4 detachments and 1 air regiment, about 100,000 troops!"
"What is the specific time and plan for launching the attack?" Ma Dazhi asked immediately.
Zhang Yunhe said, "There's no specific attack time or plan. At least I don't have an accurate operational plan. But we can estimate it will launch within a week. The remaining intelligence will have to be analyzed by the military's intelligence department."
"Understood, I'll find a way to contact the Blue Shirts headquarters right away!"
The following morning, Zhang Yunhe came to the headquarters and summoned Tian Tao to give instructions: "I have some confidential matters to attend to in the next few days. You will be in charge of the headquarters for the time being. Keep a close eye on the Japanese 51st and 104th Divisions across the way. If the Japanese launch an attack, immediately order the troops to counterattack!"
"I'll be home every night. If there's anything you need to report, come and talk to me then!"
Tian Tao replied, "Yes, sir!"
After sending Tian Tao away, Zhang Yunhe immediately drove the landing craft to the French Concession in Shanghai.
