Chapter 480 Military Horse Farm (Please subscribe and vote monthly)
"Ward Road" is taken from Wall, the leader of the "Foreign Gun Team" at that time.
Wal is a native of Massachusetts, USA. During the pre-Qing Dynasty, he was hired as the first captain of the foreign mercenary Chang Sheng Army.
First served as a soldier on the Qingshui Division gunboat "Kongfuzi".
He made great achievements in Qingpu, Shanghai, and married a woman from the Yang family, a wealthy businessman who was the president of the Shanghai Chinese Chamber of Commerce at the time.
Huade is another transliteration of Hua'er. There is also a saying that Shanghai people think that Hua'er is a notorious executioner and don't like to use the name Hua'er. Over time, everyone calls it "Huade Road".
The "Mingyuan Dog Running Track" on Huade Road is the earliest dog running track in Shanghai and one of the three major dog running tracks in Shanghai.
The dog running track is branded as "entertainment", but it is actually a disguised "casino".
Shanghai newspapers often publish tragic news about "running dogs" that have ended up on the streets and many families have been destroyed.
“Mingyuan Dog Running Park” has long been closed.
At the end of the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese army occupied Shanghai, and the "Mingyuan Dog Racing Ground" was seized by the Japanese army and turned into a "military horse farm".
“The military horse farm was surrounded by barbed wire and isolated from the surrounding area, and the Japanese army set up sentries.”
“A Japanese cavalry squadron is stationed here. As far as we know, there are hundreds of Japanese army horses inside.”
Li Hao took out an envelope from his body and handed it to Cheng Qianfan.
Cheng Qianfan opened it and saw that it was a photo of the military horse farm and the surrounding environment taken by Qiao Chuntao's intelligence team.
The Mingyuan Dog Running Ground occupies a large area. The Japanese army chose this place as a military horse racing ground. One reason is that there is only such a large space on Huade Road in the public concession. There is also another very important reason:
This place is of great military value.
Huade Road goes deep into the public concession and controls this area and can radiate most of the nearby areas.
In addition, the largest prison in the Far East and the Public Concession Prison Department is located on Huade Road. Shanghainese are accustomed to calling it Tilanqiao Prison.
Tilanqiao Prison has a large number of criminal and political prisoners. At its peak, there were nearly 10,000 "inmates" in the prison.
This criminal prison once imprisoned many famous revolutionaries. Mr. Zhang Xuecheng and martyr Zou Rong were both imprisoned here. Zou Rong was tortured and sacrificed in prison.
In addition, Comrade Ren Peiguo and Comrade Zhang Duanxu of our Party were arrested and detained here.
If the Japanese army attacks the concession, they can directly occupy Tilanqiao Prison. All buildings in Tilanqiao Prison are five-story reinforced concrete structures. Once occupied, it can be used as a strong fortress to control most of the public concession.
These were all figured out by Cheng Qianfan himself. Although he was an infantry major at the Central Army Officers' School, he was outstanding in all subjects during his schooling. If it hadn't been for the accident caused by the traitor, he would have continued to stay in After completing his studies at the Army Officer School, our party will also have an outstanding officer with a professional background.
“Go to Taozi’s house.” Cheng Qianfan put away the photo and said.
"yes!"
…
"Miss Chunxiang, it's already late at night, and a man and a woman alone can easily attract criticism. Please go back." Qiao Chuntao said with a straight face.
Chunxiang's pretty face turned cold, but looking at Qiao Chuntao's face, which was even more handsome than a woman's, she softened her heart and said, "Then I'm leaving. Remember to eat red bean cake."
"Thank you." Qiao Chuntao clasped her hands in her hands, "How much is it, I'll give it to you."
"Who cares about your money?" Chunxiang gritted her silver teeth and stood up angrily, "Whether you want to eat or not!"
After saying that, he opened the door and left angrily.
Looking at the girl's leaving figure, Qiao Chuntao's eyes flashed with sadness, and then returned to a cold look.
He is not a blockhead, and he can feel the affection of his daughter's family for him.
Chunxiang, who is young, beautiful, lively and lively, reminds him of his third junior sister.
The third junior sister who died tragically under the sword of the Japanese army, she was lying there quietly, her face and body were covered with knife marks, and her blood was soaked in the snow. She was surrounded by other senior brothers and sisters who died tragically.
Qiao Chuntao’s fists were clenched tightly:
Master, Master, Master, Brothers, Sisters, I have avenged you and come to find you!
…
The stalled car parked quietly in the alley.
A girl came out of the house angrily and did not notice the car.
“Chunxiang?” Cheng Qianfan was slightly surprised.
How could Xia Wenqiao's girl appear in Qiao Chuntao's home?
I immediately thought that this woman liked to sing opera and played in the opera troupe under the stage name Chunxiang. Qiao Chuntao was lurking in the Zhao family class. It was not surprising that the two knew each other.
“Brother Fan, are you going over now?” Li Hao asked.
“Wait a moment.” Cheng Qianfan shook his head.
About a quarter of an hour later, the lights in the house went out.
…
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Qiao Chuntao with a dagger in his hand and an alert look on his face.
Cheng Qianfan nodded with satisfaction.
If Qiao Chuntao didn't notice a car parked in the alley and fell asleep peacefully, he would have been disappointed.
“Team leader.” Qiao Chuntao put away the dagger.
“Talk inside.” Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly and walked inside. His eyes drifted over the plate of red bean cakes on the table, but he didn’t say anything.
“Map!” Cheng Qianfan said.
Li Hao took out the map from his body and laid it out on the desk.
“Team leader, where should we attack?” Qiao Chuntao’s eyes lit up and she asked.
"Huade Road Military Racecourse." Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice, "You are responsible for monitoring this place. I will give you five minutes to think about it. I will listen to your report after five minutes."
"yes!"
five minutes later.
Qiao Chuntao took out a pencil from the drawer and drew on the map while talking.
“According to the latest information, the cavalry squadron in the military horse farm is not full, there is only one small squadron, and the rest of the Japanese troops have been temporarily transferred to the battlefield.”
“Wait a minute, how do you know the specific number of Japanese troops?” Cheng Qianfan interrupted Qiao Chuntao and asked.
"The brothers rescued a girl who escaped. Before she died, the girl told the situation inside." Qiao Chuntao said with a grim face.
Citizens near the Huade Road Military Racecourse reported to the Public Settlement Patrol Room that a female family member was missing at home. The Patrol Room only accepted the case, but had no intention of investigating the case.
The intelligence team rescued a girl who escaped from inside last night.
To be precise, it was the girl who was thrown out of the camp by the Japanese army. She probably thought that the girl had been tortured to death by them.
The poor girl died soon after describing some of the circumstances inside.
…
“Asshole!” Li Hao gritted his teeth angrily.
“Where is the body?” Cheng Qianfan asked coldly.
“Throw it back where it was.” Qiao Chuntao replied expressionlessly.
“Qiao Chuntao, you bastard!” Li Hao scolded angrily, and then he heard—
“That’s right.” Cheng Qianfan nodded.
“Brother Fan!” Li Hao looked at Cheng Qianfan.
"The Huade Road Army Racecourse has now become a forbidden area for Chinese people. No one dares to go near it. If the woman's body disappears soon, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the Japanese." Cheng Qianfan patted Li Hao on the shoulder, "Haozi, in my heart If you have hatred, kill a few more Japanese invaders to avenge her and be worthy of your dead compatriots!"
Li Hao gritted his teeth and nodded. After all, he couldn't calm down and punched the wall with his fist.
"Tomorrow you accompany me to Huade Road to check the scene." Cheng Qianfan thought for a while, but still felt that he needed to go and investigate in person before he felt relieved.
This will be the first time that the Shanghai Special Intelligence Team launches an attack on the Japanese army, and no one can be too cautious.
“Yes.” Qiao Chuntao nodded, his eyes shining with hatred.
When leaving, Qiao Chuntao suddenly said, "Team leader, I have nothing to do with the girl just now."
“I understand.” Cheng Qianfan nodded.
"Chun Tao will only live for revenge for the rest of his life, and his children's personal love has nothing to do with me." He added.
“I believe you.” Cheng Qianfan patted Qiao Chuntao on the shoulder and turned to leave.
He believes in Qiao Chuntao, this is a person who only lives for revenge.
However, he keenly sensed that Qiao Chuntao was not without affection for Chunxiang, otherwise, he would not have emphasized it twice:
Perhaps, Qiao Chuntao herself doesn’t know this affection.
Perhaps he was aware of it in his heart, but he just didn't want to admit it, or maybe Taozi's heart couldn't tolerate any tender affection.
The car drives in the night on Shanghai Beach.
Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette.
“Haozi, arrange for someone to check Chunxiang.”
“Understood.” Li Hao paused and nodded.
