Chapter 1103 The Great Crisis
Ma Sinan Road.
Luo Yannian took the herbal tea handed over by Cen Xu, took a sip, and sighed comfortably.
“Old Cen, the herbal tea you made is really relaxing.” He gave a thumbs up to Cen Xu.
Then, with a serious expression, he continued to preach, "More than half a month ago, Comrade Liu crossed the river overnight and ventured into Taizhou to visit Li Shiguang, the deputy commander-in-chief of the guerrillas in the Sulu-Anhui Border Region, and Li Huanghe. He had a relationship with the "two Lis" made initial contact.”
“Are the teams preparing to open the passage to the north?” Cen Xu asked with expectant eyes.
Half a year ago, he secretly visited the team. He was shocked and distressed by the crude combat weapons and harsh environment of the New Fourth Army. The determination and morale of the soldiers and civilians to fight the enemy to the end shocked him and made him cry.
"Comrade Liu had contact with the comrades we sent here. The team did intend to open the northbound passage. However, an emergency occurred on the east road and the plan had to be abandoned." Luo Yannian said with a heavy expression. Even more unwilling and angry.
Just when the elder Comrade Liu was working hard to open up the northbound passage and connect the south and north of the Yangtze River, an urgent military situation emerged: the Loyalty and National Salvation Army intended to surround "Jiang Kang". Fortunately, "Jiang Kang" noticed it. "Jiang Kang" was in Wuxi, The border area of Jiangyin was forced to resist and was in a confrontation with the Loyalty and National Salvation Army.
In fact, in the past six months, the government’s hostile attitude towards the New Fourth Army has become increasingly apparent.
In the middle of the year, the Military Department forwarded a telegram from the Chairman: Danyang was separated from the New Fourth Army’s defense zone.
In addition, the Kuomintang sent heavy troops to advance on the east road and blocked the gate from the north.
“How could they do this?” Cen Xu was furious.
Go eastward!
Go north!
This is an active offensive that is extremely beneficial to the overall situation of the war against Japan. Seeing that the anti-war situation in the Jiangnan region has improved slightly, we are faced with this order.
“Comrade Liu has already sent a report to Jiang Kang,” Luo Yannian said in a low tone, “Avoid a decisive battle and retreat westward!”
Cen Xu clenched his fists hard and waved them fiercely. How could he retreat? !
Although the number of "Jiang Kang" is not as good as that of the Kuomintang reactionaries, "Jiang Kang" has strong combat capabilities and has the support of the masses, so it is completely sure of victory.
In the past six months, "Jiang Kang" has been galloping in Su Changxi.
On the railway line, in the reed swamps, in the big cities and small villages and towns, the achievements were outstanding. The entire Jiangdong was full of vitality due to the activity of "Jiang Resistance", and the anti-Japanese momentum was strong.
When they first entered the East Road, "Jiang Kang" had less than 700 people, but now it has grown to 6,000. The tattered weapons in their hands have been replaced by "38-style" and "Czech-style" in one color.
Even, every squad is equipped with a light machine gun, and every company has a heavy machine gun.
In addition, "Jiang Kang" also supported a large number of light and heavy weapons to the military headquarters and Maoshan base area.
“The occupied Jiangdong has begun to turn green, and the seeds of anti-Japanese resistance have sprouted.” Cen Xu said with excitement, “How many Jiangdong anti-Japanese warriors shed blood and sacrificed their lives for the rebirth of this anti-Japanese land.”
He looked at Luo Yannian and said, "Comrade, the blood flowing in the Hubang River Port in Jiangdong is the blood of Jiang's martyrs."
“We can’t withdraw!” Cen Xu’s tone became more and more agitated. He coughed repeatedly, “The blood of our comrades must not be shed in vain!”
“This is an organizational decision.” Luo Yannian said with a serious expression.
Looking at the emotional Cen Xu, he regretted saying this to Cen Xu.
As an old comrade with rich experience in underground work, Cen Xu had fought guerrillas in the mountainous areas of western Zhejiang for many years. He was a proven old red fighter. He had deep distrust of the Kuomintang and was also very concerned about the team. Therefore, every time Luo Yannian met with him, Cen Xu would ask him about the situation of the team.
Facing Luo Yannian’s serious gaze, Cen Xu punched the sofa. He sighed, “There is no guilt in resisting Japan!”
Luo Yannian knew Cen Xu very well. This was a comrade who had an extraordinary enthusiasm for revolutionary work. As long as work was mentioned, Cen Xu could quickly calm down.
“How is the situation over there with Comrade Cui Mai?” Luo Yannian asked.
Cen Xu lit a cigarette, calmed down, and said, "Comrade Cui Mai has initially gained Chu Mingyu's trust, but my suggestion is-"
He looked at Luo Yannian and said, "Comrade Cui Mai had better stay hidden for a long time and not move easily."
In terms of organization, it is not easy to successfully place people around a big traitor like Chu Mingyu. Comrade Cui Mai must be protected.
“That’s what I mean too.” Luo Yannian nodded.
The organization is very concerned about the traitors of the Wang family, especially after the Wang family secretly convened the Sixth Puppet National Congress of the Kuomintang, and judged that the Japanese have put the formal establishment of the Wang family's puppet regime on the agenda.
In this case, planting nails within the Wang puppet regime as early as possible is very important for the anti-Japanese situation that may become increasingly severe in the future.
“Comrade Cui Mai also responded to one thing.” Cen Xu said.
"Please say."
“Cheng Qianfan from the French Concession is relatively close to Chu Mingyu, and it is said that Wang Quanhai also admires Cheng Qianfan very much.” Cen Xu said.
"The situation you mentioned has been grasped by the organization." Luo Yannian nodded and said.
Comrade Xiu Yuman once conveyed to Cui Mai the relevant situation reported by Comrade Li Shiyun, and Comrade Li Shiyun strongly suggested that the organization take action against Cheng Qianfan.
Luo Yannian was still thinking carefully about whether to take action against Cheng Qianfan, an executioner and traitor whose hands were stained with the blood of his comrades.
However, his heart is inclined to take action.
This person is a complete reactionary in killing the Red Party members. This is just because the Anti-Japanese United Front, in principle, must unite all people who can be united. As long as Cheng Qianfan is not determined to be a traitor, even if he has a blood feud with this person, the Red Party members You can't do anything to it either.
However, now, Cheng Qianfan attended the Sixth National Congress of Wang Puppetry and was received by Wang Chuhai, which is enough to prove that Cheng Qianfan is a traitor.
Now, the reason why Luo Yannian is hesitant is very straightforward:
Cheng Qianfan is not easy to kill!
This person has the power of the patrol house in the official world, and privately maintains a large number of bodyguards and thugs. In addition, Cheng Qianfan also has a very close relationship with the Qinggang.
The most important thing is that this person has many enemies, especially Zhang Xiaolin, which makes Cheng Qianfan pay special attention to his life safety and has a large number of bodyguards when traveling. If you want to attack such a person, the chance of success is very small, and you may have to endure it. Mentally prepare for huge losses.
"Is it almost time?" Luo Yannian took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.
At 1:30 noon, it is the time to contact the Yanzhou headquarters.
However, under normal circumstances, Shanghai contacts Yanzhou at night.
The reason why I chose noon today is not the safest night.
It was because the information to be reported this time had just arrived in Luo Yannian's hands. The information was urgent and could not wait until night, so he could only choose to send it at noon.
If the report is sent at noon, only Comrade Cen Xu, who lives in the wealthy area of Masinan Road, is the safest place.
"It's almost time." Cen Xu stood up and led Luo Yannian to the bedroom on the second floor.
Seeing Luo Yannian's familiarity with the furnishings in the room, Cen Xu couldn't help but be curious. However, he knew the organizational discipline and didn't ask any more questions.
Luo Yannian saw the curiosity in Cen Xu's eyes, so he naturally wouldn't explain anything.
The house that Cen Xu is renting now is the previous residence of Comrade Peng Yuou. Luo Yannian is naturally very familiar with this place.
…
Cheng Qianfan looked carefully at this so-called radio locator.
An adjustment dial.
There is also a pointer that looks like a compass.
“Did Xin Xiangyin explain how to use this thing?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
"He was just told to keep an eye on when the red dot would light up. He didn't know anything else." Hao Zai said, "But maybe this guy kept it secret on purpose. Do you want another trial?"
“Wake up.” Cheng Qianfan glanced at Xin Xiangyin and said calmly.
Hao Zai's method of waking up Xin Xiangyin was very simple and direct. He directly picked up a ladle of salt water and poured it on Xin Xiangyin's swollen cheek.
"ah!"
Xin Xiangyin was physically awakened and opened his mouth wide to scream. Then a torn towel was stuffed into his mouth.
"Don't shout, don't scream." Hao Zai played with a dagger in his hand and said in a cold tone, "I will take out the towel and stab it when I hear you shout."
Xin Xiangyin’s eyes widened.
His eyes first looked at Hao Zai, and then stayed on Cheng Qianfan.
When he was interrogated before, he recognized that one of the two people who arrested him was Inspector Zhong Guohao from the Central Patrol Room of the French Concession.
Now, when I woke up again, I saw the famous "Mr. Xiao Cheng".
He was a little confused and didn't understand why it was Cheng Qianfan who arrested him.
He thought those who arrested him were anti-Japanese elements.
"Did you hear that?" Hao Zai slapped Xin Xiangyin's cheek with a dagger, "Nod your head when you hear it."
Xin Xiang nodded fiercely.
Hao Zai plucked out the rag from Xin Xiangyin's mouth.
“Mr. Cheng, Mr. Cheng, there’s a misunderstanding. It’s all a misunderstanding. I also work for the Japanese.” Xin Xiangyin’s mouth was ‘released’ and he quickly shouted, “We are our own people.”
“One of our own?” Cheng Qianfan looked at Xin Xiangyin with a half-smile.
“Yes, we are one of our own.” Xin Xiang nodded fiercely.
"What are you doing sneakily on Father Jin Road?" Cheng Qianfan said. Seeing that Xin Xiangyin still wanted to defend himself, he waved his hand, "Forget it, I just want to know now, how much do you know about this thing?"
Xin Xiangyin looked at Cheng Qianfan suspiciously.
From Cheng Qianfan's words, he could not determine Cheng Qianfan's identity, or to be precise, he could not determine the identity of Cheng Qianfan who was questioning him.
Also working for the Locust Army?
Or just as ‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’?
Anti-Japanese elements?
Xin Xiangyin shook his head in his heart. He did not think that Cheng Qianfan was an anti-Japanese element. Everyone in Shanghai knew that this man was close to the Japanese.
As long as they are not anti-Japanese elements, no matter what identity Cheng Qianfan cross-examines, he feels that there must be some misunderstanding.
Xin Xiangyin felt hope of survival in his heart.
“Brother Fan is asking you something.” Hao Zai threatened.
"Ogasawara Taijun told me to keep an eye on the instrument, saying that if the red light lights up, it means someone is using the radio to send a message. The faster the red dot flashes, the closer to the radio station." Xin Xiangyin said quickly, he is a smart man, I knew it was best to listen to Cheng Qianfan's instructions at this time.
A person like him is nothing in the eyes of Cheng Qianfan, and killing him is just a matter of a thought.
After speaking, he looked at Hao Zai and said, "Brother Hao, I have said everything I know. I really have said it all."
Cheng Qianfan waved his hand.
“Shut up.” Hao Zai glared at Xin Xiangyin fiercely.
Cheng Qianfan studied the locator carefully.
He is proficient in telecommunications, and he soon figured out some tricks.
This microphone should be placed against the ear to transmit sound to the ear.
He picked up the microphone and put it to his ear. Experience told him that this should be a relatively advanced silent microphone.
As for the pointer, Cheng Qianfan speculated that it should be used to point, pointing in the direction of the sound, which is the direction of the location of the radio station.
Although if you want to study it clearly, you may need to dismantle this instrument and study it carefully, but just from these superficial instruments, Cheng Qianfan has basically guessed its most basic principles and methods of use.
If it is true as Xin Xiangyin said, if a radio station is sending a report, the red dot on this instrument will flash, and the closer to the sending location, the faster the red dot will flash -
Cheng Qianfan immediately realized how harmful this set of equipment was to our party, the military commander, the central commander, and other secret anti-Japanese groups!
He, 'Mr. Little Cheng', is the closest enemy to the secret front in the entire French Concession and even the entire Shanghai Bund. He is also the person closest to the latest technology. He has never even mastered the existence of such an instrument that can detect and capture radio signals. , not to mention other anti-Japanese groups.
He could already imagine that if the enemy secretly used this instrument to investigate in places they considered suspicious, there would be many unsuspecting secret radio stations captured and exposed by the enemy.
“Why did you choose to do this on Father Jin Road?” Cheng Qianfan asked Xin Xiangyin.
The first thing he needs to figure out now is why the enemy is targeting Father Jin Road, or to be more precise, has the enemy already targeted Zhou Ru?
"Ogasawara Taijun and I were assigned to Father Jin Road." Xin Xiangyin said. Cheng Qianfan didn't want him to yell for mercy anymore, so he carefully mentioned the special high school to remind Cheng Qianfan. "Everyone works for the Japanese and is one of our own people," and "Xin Xiangyin has a backing."
Cheng Qianfan immediately noticed the meaning contained in Xin Xiangyin’s words:
Being assigned to Father Jin Road?
This means that there are other people assigned to other streets and alleys?
It means that this time the Special High School is a multi-pronged large-scale secret operation to seize the radio station.
“Except Father Jin Lu, where are the others assigned to?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
Xin Xiangyin fell silent, not because he had the courage not to say anything, but because he suddenly felt that Cheng Qianfan's questioning of him and his interrogation attitude seemed not quite right.
"Say." Hao Zai went up and used a big ear-scratcher, which caused one of Xin Xiangyin's front teeth to fly out.
“I don’t know.” Xin Xiangyin said with a sad face, “I was directly assigned to Ogasawara.”
Cheng Qianfan glanced at Xin Xiangyin. This kind of **** is indeed very smart. Xin Xiangyin obviously realized that something was wrong. He no longer calls him "Ogasawara Taijun" anymore.
“Before Ogasawara got out of the car and left, where did he tell you to go and what to do?” Cheng Qianfan asked immediately.
“Ogasawara asked me to go to Masinan Road.”
“What to do on Masinan Road?”
“Go to Captain Nohara and tell him…”
"tell what?"
“Tell Captain Nohara that Father Kim discovered the radio station on Magal Lane.”
