Liang Hongyun judged that early assembly was related to the bad weather, but it was true.

Subsequently, the commander of Guangde Air Force Base took the stage to announce the latest order from the Aviation Commission:

"Can't wait until all preparations are completed, the troops gather immediately to prepare for bombing the enemy ships in Shanghai and the enemy concession base areas."

One of the important reasons that prompted the Chinese Air Force to decide to launch an attack in advance, or even a little hasty, is the impact of heavy rain caused by the typhoon in Shanghai yesterday.

The Aviation Commission predicts that due to the severe weather, it will be difficult for all troops to assemble before dusk on August 14 as scheduled.

In addition, what is even more worrying is that after aerial reconnaissance, "the enemy ships shelled the city's government near Wusongkou last night. Most of their warships were about ten, and they still gathered on the eastern sea of ​​Chongming Island."

"In addition, according to the information provided by the National Government Secret Service, near the Gongda Spinning Mill, the temporary airport built by the Japanese army with the original golf course will be completed, and we cannot wait any longer. Once the temporary airport of the Gongda Spinning Mill is built, it will provide a base for the Japanese Air Force."

During the First Battle of Shanghai, the Japanese army bombarded the positions of the National Army with large caliber ships, and aircraft cooperated with ground troops to attack the Wusong Fort, which left a deep impression on the Chinese generals.

Therefore, the Air Force must first kill the Japanese warships, and at the same time, it cannot allow Japanese planes to find a place to settle down. This is the arduous task of the Chinese Air Force in this Battle of Shanghai!

Therefore, in the face of many factors such as bad weather affecting the assembly speed and the upcoming completion of the temporary airport of the Gongda Spinning Mill, the Chinese Air Force must launch an attack in advance without making all combat preparations.

On August 14th, 2:15 am.

A lightning strikes the high-voltage line on the opposite street, and sparks splash.

Cheng Qianfan stared at the window and looked out of the window silently at the scene of the fire trees and silver flowers.

At this moment, the Chance Walter O3U-2 reconnaissance aircraft, Hawk II fighter, Northrop 2EC light bomber and other models from Guangde Air Base took off from Guangde in batches according to the established plan, and went straight into the storm and rain. They will go to Shanghai via Huashan!

...

Cheng Qianfan left the "Tianya Photo Studio" at around 4 a.m. and came to the Central District Police Station on Xuehuali Road.

The dusty Commander Xiao Cheng drove the night shift policeman home to rest.

He also called his confidant Haozai to stay and continue on duty.

He went into the lounge and slept with his head covered.

After about half an hour, Xiao Cheng, who was "can't sleep", came out to let the water go.

I saw Haozi bought Shengjian and Xiaolongbao and was feasting on the desk in the capture hall.

"Chopsticks." Cheng Qianfan sat down directly, took a pair of chopsticks and started eating.

"Did you find out?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

He knew that Haozi went out to buy breakfast just now, but in fact he took the opportunity to obtain information.

"No." Haozai took a bite and whispered, "We stared at Fei Li. There was no follow-up action yesterday, and we didn't see him contacting Ekou, but..."

"But what?" Cheng Qianfan picked up a Shengjian, stared at it, then pulled out a piece of hair, cursed in his mouth, and directly 'threw' Shengjian' to Haozai, "You eat it."

Haozai immediately subconsciously glanced out with his light, and it was true that something was wrong.

He saw a figure walking around the corner of the corridor under the steps outside the capture hall, "It was Inspector Zhao, and the Political Department arranged for him to be on duty yesterday."

"Well, keep talking, but what." Cheng Qianfan didn't eat Shengjian anymore. He pinched a small bun, gently whipped a small gap in his teeth, sucked the juice gently, and then ate the meat filling, and finally swallowed the skin of the bun that had been whipped into two pieces.

"However, yesterday I tried my best to take my subordinates to inspect several hotels in Chuanhongbang in the name of eliminating hidden dangers of the thugs." Haozai said.

"Which companies?" Cheng Qianfan immediately became interested.

...

"Hongyun Hotel, Damin Hotel, Limin Hotel." Haozai said as he took out his notepad, took a look, and continued, "Haoyun Hotel, Wenjia Hotel, and Baiyun Hotel."

Cheng Qianfan took it over and took a look, recalling the name that Haozai said just now, and comparing it with the name on Haozai's notepad.

Hongyun Hotel is a rooster with a solid point behind it.

Damin Hotel, is it? It seems to be a bowl of rice? There is a small circle behind it.

Limin Hotel is a sickle and a bowl of rice, and behind it is a small circle.

Cheng Qianfan understood a little. The solid point is the hotel and the hollow circle is the hotel.

A rooster represents good luck.

"What is this rice?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

"Damin." Haozai replied.

"Where is a sickle and a bowl of rice?"

"Benefit the people."

Of course, I know it's the great people and the benefit of the people. The question is how did you associate these "paintings" with these names?

Suddenly, Cheng Qianfan's heart moved and he understood.

He glanced at Haozai. This kid was really a fucking talent.

...

"It is actually a matter of screening suitable hotels for the Japanese according to the requirements of the Japanese." Cheng Qianfan took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth, "It means that the Japanese are already taking action. All we have to do now is to continue to keep a close eye on it."

"yes."

"You can change your mind and keep a close eye on the hotel to see which one will suddenly buy a lot of groceries and cook."

"Understood."

"How is Eguchi Hideya's family situation checked?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

"I arranged for Zhao Yi to investigate, but there is no news to be reported yet." Haozai said.

Cheng Qianfan nodded, "I'll go to sleep and get some sleep, you can stare at it."

"yes."

...

7:00 a.m.

Boom!

A loud noise came from afar.

"Where is it blowing up again?" Cheng Qianfan rushed out of the lounge in the office and shouted in a white shirt and coat.

"It looks like it is in the direction of Hongkou." Haozai said.

Hongkou?

Cheng Qianfan's heart moved, did the Chinese army launch an attack on the Japanese army?

Cheng Qianfan’s guess is correct.

This is the Chance Walter O3U-2 reconnaissance aircraft of the 35th Squadron of the Chinese Air Force that raided the Japanese armory of Gongda Spinning Mill.

More than an hour later, just as the police officers came to the police station to work one after another, the Chinese Air Force's bombing of the Japanese stronghold in Hongkou officially kicked off.

The Chinese Air Force's 21 Northrop 2EC light bombers began to carry out a second wave of air strikes on Gongda Spinning Mill and Japanese warships.

The entire police room was also noisy. The police officers ran to the top of the caution hall building from time to time and looked towards Hongkou and Huangpu River.

Cheng Qianfan did not go to the rooftop, he smoked in the corridor on the second floor.

He remembered his third brother and was a little worried. He didn't know if Chen Huaiming participated in the military operation.

At this moment, he saw Pete wearing a straight French army uniform and quickly descending from the upper floor.

"Do you want to watch the air battle?" Peter raised an ID in his hand.

Cheng Qianfan did not answer, and threw the cigarette butt on the ground and quickly followed.

...

"What kind of certificate is this?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

Pitt, who was driving, ignored him, and Cheng Qianfan took it to see it himself.

"Is this written by you yourself, stamped by yourself?" Cheng Qianfan recognized that this was Pitt's handwriting and asked.

This so-called military observer's document of the French Concession was seen through by Cheng Qianfan at a glance.

"That's right." Pi Te nodded with a proud look on his face, "But it's useful."

It's really useful.

Needless to say, the French Concession is, even in the public concession, this so-called special military observer's certificate is unimpeded.

Cheng Qianfan had no doubt about this, because the seal stamped not only included the seal of the Political Department of the French Concession, but the most outrageous thing was that there was also the seal of the Industrial Department of the British and American Public Concession.

"How could there be a seal from the Public Concession Industrial Department?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

He turned his head and looked at the roadside, and many citizens were rushing towards Hongkou. Obviously, these people also wanted to "watch" the air battle.

However, police officers in the public concession have begun to be dispatched to maintain order, and police officers in Annan wield batons to beat the Chinese.

The jeep Cheng Qianfan was riding drove over from the side. He looked at the scene coldly without reacting.

"If my compatriots were beaten like this by the Annan people, I would shoot him in the head with one shot." Pete said with a sneer.
