,

spn Along the Huangpu River, low-rise private houses seem to be about to collapse at any time. It is now past five o'clock in the morning, and even the houses are sealed from the inside with black paper. The area is not small, and dozens of people have been standing together all night

Sleepless person.

"Although this demonstration was within our expectations, we did not expect it to be so hasty. Of course, the collusion between the Japanese and the British was also unexpected."

As the captain of the action force that went to Shanghai to carry out this special mission, He An also received top-secret information two hours ago that the Japanese would collude with the British to suppress the college students' demonstration.

The information that Shanghai college students will hold demonstrations in these two days was detected by agents of the Special Intelligence Department during the day. The college students made a mistake at this time. They thought that their well-organized demonstrations would be much better than before.

, but in fact, the Japanese still obtained this information later that day.

Japan's espionage activities in China have become pervasive, especially in large coastal cities like Shanghai. The actions that students think are confidential cannot escape their eyes and ears.[

When they learned that the students would organize demonstrations that were far larger than before, the special intelligence agents made an emergency report and organized their own analysis, believing that the Japanese would not just sit back and watch the students march. Judging from past experience, the Japanese may collude with the police department.

, blocking students inside the school gate.

But this time, the intelligence obtained later made the agents unbelievable.

A concession spy developed by the Special Intelligence Department urgently reported his superiors. A Special Intelligence Department agent said that later in the evening, a Japanese visited the British Concession Patrol House Ai Fusen, and then the British Concession Patrol House recalled the vacation patrol overnight.

And added some "medicine".

It was already 1 o'clock in the morning. After receiving this information, the Shanghai Special Intelligence Division immediately smelled the smell of a huge conspiracy. The Japanese were going to take action, and they probably wanted to borrow the help of the British.

Although the British and French concessions in Shanghai have always tried to play a detached civilized identity in recent years, the staff of the Special Intelligence Division know that this is just an illusion. Apart from anything else, judging from the education and knowledge they have received,

Look, the essence of imperialism is hegemonism. Compared with a weak China, it is aggression, and the form of concession is naked aggression. As long as they do not withdraw from China for one day, then their lives in China will be

Show their bad nature to the fullest.

Therefore, the joint government of the three provinces has absolute wariness and hostility towards imperialism. The order issued by the Special Intelligence Department headquarters a year ago about infiltrating key departments such as the concessions has finally worked.

Let the Special Intelligence Department harvest this top-secret information at the most critical moment.

However, there was too little time left for the special intelligence agents and action teams. They did not even have time to prevent the students from leaving the campus, let alone prevent the students from leaving the campus.

Because judging from another piece of campus information obtained, in order to prevent the police from blocking the school gate again, college students went home one day early, or left school, and went directly to the British Concession to gather near the next day.

"Just now, Chairman Zhang of the Joint Government has personally approved this operation." He An took out an order he had just received. The people present immediately stood at attention and saluted, waiting for him to read out the order: "This is to order the action troops

, we will use all means to fight back, fire resolutely, and protect the marching students from retreating."

"Yes!! Resolutely obey Chairman Zhang's order." The members of the action force roared in unison, each one like a tiger that had just emerged from the wild, even their eyes turned red.

He An nodded, handed the order document to the team members next to him, and motioned for everyone to read it again, and then ordered: "Based on the terrain of the British Concession and analyzing the intelligence, we believe that the parade will have a major meeting in front of the patrol house of the British Concession.

pause. In such incidents, the procession always

Once it stops at an important location, the conflict will reach its peak. Therefore, in addition to the Intelligence Department agents closely following the parade and monitoring the movements of the Japanese troops in Hongkou, and reporting the situation at any time, our main ambush location this time will be near the patrol house in the concession. As follows.

I announce a specific action plan..."

It’s 5:30 on May 15th, Shanghai time, and 1:40 noon, San Francisco time.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Kenneth, this is an emergency transoceanic telegram order that has just been received. You must execute the order immediately."

A special worker pulled the two of them up from their naps with a tense face, but they did not complain at all, just because he was the emergency liaison assigned by the joint government in San Francisco. He woke them up.

People means that something big is happening in the country.

"Um...what!!!" Li Chunyang picked up the telegram and took a look at it. He suddenly jumped up in fright, and then Kenneth jumped up too. The two simply said a few words and immediately rushed towards

In the telegraph room, the matter is urgent and orders can only be executed immediately.

At six o'clock in the morning, it was already bright.

The Japanese barracks in Hongkou, Shanghai suddenly opened wide, and large trucks carrying troops drove out. The Japanese soldiers on them all carried 38-inch caps with bayonets in their hands, and drove out of the barracks with murderous intent, heading towards the Bund.

In a room on the third floor in the distance, the curtains were open and closed again, and then the sound of dialing the phone rang in the room. "The wild dogs came out of their holes to look for food. The wild dogs came out of their holes to look for food."

At half past six, Shanghai Beach once again showed a busy scene, but the streets today were different from before. First, there were many people dressed as students walking through the crowd, all heading towards the Bund, and then some

People who heard the news also began to go to the Bund spontaneously.[

At seven o'clock, I don't know where the specific news came from: Shanghai college students will go to the concession to jointly petition, and the parade will soon arrive at the concession.

After receiving the news, many citizens immediately decided to go to support the students. Of course, more importantly, they were prepared to watch the excitement. This is a "nature" that Chinese people can never change.

“Boycott Japanese goods!!”

"Hand over the murderer!!"

"Improve wages in cotton mills and compensate workers for their losses!!"

At around eight o'clock, the entire British Concession was blocked by a procession of more than 3,000 people consisting of nearly 2,000 students from various classes and more than 1,000 citizens. Together with the crowd of onlookers, the entire Bund was packed with people.

Time is full of people.

The students held banners high and, under the command of representatives from each school, shouted out slogans and slogans. The students in the parade were excited. Many of them unbuttoned their clothes and shouted loudly with blushing faces.

.

At the front of the parade were the organizers of this parade, representatives from major universities, holding hands and leading the parade forward with a fearless spirit.

“Strengthen the nation and boycott Japanese goods!!”

The slogans that were shouted out loud not only raised the enthusiasm of the parade to the highest level, but also the onlookers on the sidelines joined in. Some were bankrupt handicraft workshop owners, some were bankrupt small traders, some were craftsmen, some were rickshaw drivers, and some were workers.

Some are intellectuals, some are even housewives...

More and more people are joining the demonstrations. The February 28th massacre some time ago and the subsequent reports on the Northeast Incident, the Concession Incident, the Southwest Incident, and the previous multiple Japanese massacres in China have made the country

Many people of insight have realized the aggressive nature of the Japanese, and domestic anti-Japanese sentiment has reached an all-time high. As the most enlightened place in Shanghai, although money worship and admiration for foreigners are relatively rampant, those who are concerned about the country and the people

Not in the minority either.

It was only around nine o'clock, and the parade had already reached nearly 10,000 people. For Shanghai at this time, it could be said that the streets were truly deserted.

In response to the growing scale of demonstrations, the leaders of the movement decided to immediately enter the concession.

"Mr. Avosen, the Chinese parade will be here soon. I hope you can keep your promise. The empire will still have a great heart to offer you." After learning about the progress of the parade, Hisaga Hosoda asked him again.

Avoson confirmed.

In front of the British police station, Avosun was dressed in a police uniform. While supervising the patrol officers in the station to set up roadblocks, he ordered the patrol officers to check their firearms and medicines.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hosoda. I admire my father very much because he can shoot at the barbaric and backward Chinese people. I have been in China for so many years and it is very difficult to get this opportunity. I think we will cooperate happily.

"Yes." The pot-bellied Afusen said longingly, holding a pipe in his mouth.

"Mr. Avoson's father has been to China?"

"To be precise, I've been here several times. Let me think about it, damn, the last time was more than 20 years ago." Afuson admired his father very much, because he always told Afuson that he once led a team.

Having conquered an ancient nation that was once backward, I couldn't help but secretly decide, "I will also make my descendants proud of me."

"Yoshi, Mr. Avosen's whole family is a brave soldier." Hosoda Kuchana complimented with a sinister smile.

"Boycott Japanese goods and hand over the murderer!"

…

When the slogan finally came, there was no one on Nanjing Road. There were only two people on the entire wide street. On one end were the roadblocks set up by the patrol house in the concession, and in the entire patrol house there were more than 200 British and Indian police officers. On the other side was the procession that was gradually arriving.

Demonstration team.[

Although the street was very wide, it seemed narrow compared to the size of the parade. From time to time, the entire front of the police barricade was blocked by marching students and citizens.

"Boycott Japanese goods..."

"Japanese get out of Shanghai..."

"Punish the murderer and compensate the workers..."

…

Under the organization of student representatives, wave after wave of slogans seemed to be able to turn the ancient Bund upside down. The timid British and Indian patrols even trembled slightly nervously.

In this country, there are frequent incidents of random people killing people during demonstrations.

However, the civilized students not only did not commit murder or arson, nor did they take advantage of the "chaos" to vandalize or loot, they even abided by order. Instead, they were only carrying out real demonstrations and petitions.

Ten minutes later, a little chaos broke out in the parade.

The marchers at the front tried to climb over the roadblock, but were pulled down by the patrol officers on the opposite side and arrested on the spot.

Not only did the British authorities not listen to any of the students' opinions, let alone accept their petitions, they brutally arrested the students, which immediately aroused public outrage.

"Abolish the concession, return us the power to govern, and imperialism get out of Shanghai..."

"Abolish the concession, return us political power, and imperialism get out of Shanghai..."

"Abolish the concession, return us political power, and imperialism get out of Shanghai..."

"Abolish the concession, return us political power, and imperialism get out of Shanghai..."

…

For a time, the entire Nanjing Road was shouting this kind of slogan.

The students originally thought that Britain, France and other countries were enlightened countries, and many students even had a good impression of these countries themselves. They thought that these countries would listen to their petitions, and then mobilize the power of civilization to come out to help the students.
