The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 138 Tracking
By the way! How did this girl Annie appear in the Sihang Warehouse?
To talk about this, we need to go back a little bit in time, to last night.
In fact, this is a very special girl. The so-called "special" does not mean that she has a beautiful face and a hot body.
But other girls usually pay most attention to how to maintain their skin, cosmetics, clothing, bags, celebrity gossip, etc.
Because Annie is a model and actress by profession, she usually pays more attention to the above aspects.
But in comparison, some of the things she paid more attention to and was interested in were the hobbies of some gentlemen.
For example: the latest international situation, various current and antique weapons and equipment, Chinese and foreign historical allusions and figures, major events, online novels and serious literature, etc.
Especially in terms of historical allusions, characters and stories, the level is several stories high.
After chatting with Hu Biao, this kid would have really shown his weakness in front of Annie if he had not been catching up on the history of the Anti-Japanese War whenever he had free time recently.
So, when she woke up in the Modu Huizhong Hotel, she took a thick stack of old newspapers and studied them for almost half the night. She had already figured out a lot of things.
Not only was the time today confirmed, it was October 26, 1937.
We knew that the Battle of Shanghai had entered its later stages and was about to end.
Tomorrow at the Sihang Warehouse in Zhabei, the defense battle arranged by the bald principal and others purely for political show purposes will begin.
I also know that I'd better rest and get some rest now, because I have to go to the opposite side of the Sihang Warehouse early tomorrow morning to observe it closely.
Because after some research, she believed one thing:
There is no love without reason in the world, no time travel without reason, and no time travel without reason.
She couldn't figure out what kind of existence it was and what magical means it used to get her to the Magic City 88 years ago, but it must be to achieve some purpose.
According to the description in the newspaper, there was a story about Hu Biao, Major Hu and Annie, the top performer at the Paramount Ballroom.
After careful thought, she came up with some guesses that were close to the truth.
This Hu Biao, Major Hu, was actually the big pig's hoof that he knew. He did not die while attacking the Japanese heavy artillery position as the newspaper said.
He just traveled back to the modern world and opened a shop called "Deyuelou Shop".
She even had an inexplicable intuition that Hu Biao had also traveled through time and was now waiting for her help in the Sihang Warehouse.
Perhaps the above situation is the biggest reason why I was chosen by that mysterious place and teleported here.
Besides, that Annie, the top girl at the Paramount Ballroom, must be my past life, right? Otherwise, there is no way to explain why I have such a deep affinity for Deyue Tower and Hu Biao.
Wow! It must be fate from a past life, but this feels pretty good too.
The only thing that made Annie a little uncertain was what identity the mysterious being had assigned to her after she traveled through time.
Although she was in the room, she searched for a while.
In a wardrobe filled with beautiful clothes, I found a 'citizenship certificate' which served as proof of identity, as well as a number of invitations and letters.
The "citizenship certificate" is a handwritten piece of paper without even a photo on it.
It only shows her gender, age, address, etc., and there is not even an official seal; and on this simple "citizenship certificate", it shows that her name is also Annie and she is from a certain area in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province.
As for the content on the invitation, they all asked her to participate in some balls, salons, etc., which were basically held by foreigners.
The contents of the letters were love letters written by several different men, using some corny words that even gave her goose bumps, to express their admiration for her.
Combining all the above, it shows that her identity should be a socialite in Shanghai, and a relatively popular one.
However, Annie instinctively felt that this socialite identity was probably untrue, or at least just a cover-up...
******
Anne's suspicions about her identity were confirmed early the next morning.
At that time, Anne changed into a dress with a big hat and walked out of the Huizhong Hotel. She was just about to call a rickshaw to the opposite side of the Sihang Warehouse.
Suddenly, a passerby passed by and very secretly slipped a small note into her hand. It must be said that Annie has a good psychological quality.
Although he was a little panicked, he did not shout out loud. Instead, he calmly took the note and walked forward a short distance before opening it and taking a look when no one was around.
It can be found that there is an address written on the note: Mai Rui Coffee Shop.
After hesitating for a while, Annie hailed a rickshaw and gave this address.
After arriving, she found a secluded table, ordered a latte, asked the waiter for today's newspaper, and waited patiently.
As a result, the wait this time was surprisingly long.
Annie waited until almost noon. When she thought she was being played a trick on, a middle-aged man with at least half a bottle of Stancom hair oil on his head sat in front of her.
The first thing he said was, "Annie, you have a new and urgent task."
After ordering a cup of coffee and sending the waiter away, the man pushed a brown paper bag over to Annie. When she opened it, the first thing she saw was a photo of Hu Biao, the big pig's hoof.
Thanks to her profession as an actress, Annie did not reveal any flaws despite the shock of her mind.
She pretended to be calm and said indifferently:
"Hu Biao? Didn't he die? He died in the battle to destroy the Japanese heavy artillery position. The newspapers were all about this news the past two days."
After hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression became a little strange, and there was a hint of greed in his eyes:
"Hu Biao is dead, but he was involved in the source of a drug called 'penicillin,' an anti-inflammatory drug far superior to sulfa and of astonishing value.
Boss Dai instructed that they must be obtained at all costs.
When you come into contact with those foreigners on a daily basis, you must pay attention to inquiring about this information; Boss Dai said that whoever finds the source of "Penicillin" will be rewarded handsomely.
Oh, and be careful during this process.
It's not just us who are tracking him down, but also those idiots in the Central Bureau of Investigation, some bigwigs in the National Government, people who work for local marshals, people from the underworld in the Magic City, foreigners, and even the Japanese devils."
After hearing the above statement and looking at some relevant information in the bag, Annie almost wanted to cover her head if the man hadn't been there.
The information did not contain much information, it just mentioned the transaction between Hu Biao and his men and Director Sun, the quartermaster of the 134th Division of the Sichuan Army.
Then Director Sun and his team turned around and sold the penicillin on the black market in Shanghai, making astonishing profits, which immediately attracted the greedy eyes of various forces.
How can this big pig's hoof be so careless?
Don’t they know that the interests represented by this thing are so great that even the bald principal would be jealous, let alone other people; for the sake of interests, there is nothing they can’t do?
That is, everyone thought Hu Biao was dead, otherwise so many forces would dig deep into the ground to find him...
In short, because of the delay caused by this unexpected situation, when Anne finally arrived opposite the Sihang Warehouse, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
After seeing the poisonous gas, the girl became extremely nervous.
Fortunately, this worry did not last long. There were dense gunshots and even loud explosions in the warehouse.
Soon after, no more than a dozen Japanese soldiers escaped from the warehouse in a very embarrassed manner.
But the Japanese soldier who escaped the farthest only ran about 20 or 30 meters before he was knocked to the ground by a bullet coming from behind.
It turned out that even though the Japanese used such despicable means as poison gas bombs, they still failed to capture the Sihang Warehouse and instead suffered a crushing defeat.
Upon seeing this, the hundreds of people watching on the south bank of Suzhou River burst into cheers.
Amid such cheers, Anne's heart was filled with indescribable pride, because her big pig's hoof was in the warehouse, participating in this glorious battle.
At the same time, Annie made a decision in her heart:
Tonight, I must secretly swim across the Suzhou River and find Hu Biao in the Sihang Warehouse.
On the one hand, it is to remind them of the crisis they are currently facing and that they must hide their identities well; unless it is absolutely necessary, they must not reveal their identities.
On the other hand, I wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help...
