On December 29, 1938, Wang Jingwei published the infamous "Yan Dian", openly defecting to the enemy!

This telegram in response to the equally notorious "Konoe Statement" put Wang Jingwei, a former revolutionary leader, on the road of shameful traitor!

On January 1, 1939, the chairman of the National People's Congress delivered a "New Year's Day speech" in Chongqing.

In his speech, the chairman of the NPC National Committee angrily denounced that both the "Yandian" and the "Konoe Statement" were conspiracy attempts to split the Nationalist Government and disintegrate the Chinese nation's determination to resist the war to the end!

And denounced that both telegrams were "really hidden mechanical blades in their bones!" This is the general confession of all the delusional conspiracies of the enemy to swallow China as a whole, dominate East Asia, and then try to conquer the world; It is also the total exposure of all the contents of the enemy's plans to destroy our country and our nation! ”

Wang Ching-wei's open defection did plunge the initial Nationalist Government into chaos, but it was short-lived, and it also brought unexpected benefits to the Chairman himself and the Nationalist Government.

The chairman of the NPC National Committee took this opportunity to purge the "pacifists" within the government in one fell swoop, eradicate most of Wang Jingwei's forces, and consolidate his absolute dictatorial position as the sole leader of the country!

Second, after the collusion between Wang and Japan, Western countries issued statements one after another to uphold the "Nine-Power Pact"; The U.S. Congress soon passed a loan to China; Britain and France even mobilized troops to strengthen the defense of the Far East before the outbreak of war in Europe.

The dawn of the War of Resistance is emerging!

On January 10, 1939, Japan held a goodwill conference in Wuhan.

Meng Shaoyuan, acting head of the Shanghai Hidden District of the Military Control Bureau, went to the meeting alone, successfully completed the connection with the "pigeon", the sleeper agent of the Military Control Bureau, successfully brought back intelligence, and eradicated the traitor Ji Guozhen, chairman of the "Wuhan Security Association" in Wuhan.

After the Japanese discovered that Ji Guozhen was missing, they searched all over the city, and on the third day, they finally found Ji Guozhen's body in a room of the Ankang Hotel.

In winter, Ji Guozhen's body did not appear **.

From the on-site investigation, all the belongings on Ji Guozhen's body were looted, and on the surface, it looked like a robbery and murder case, but Miza Shicheng and Fang He Zejiang knew that this case was not so simple.

But the difficulty now is that Ankang Hotel is an industry under the name of another big traitor, Zhang Renli.

According to the law formulated by the Japanese, Zhang Renli will certainly not be able to get out of it, but the "Wuhan Special City Government" is about to be established, and the mayor appointed by the Japanese has been arrested by the Japanese.

Subsequently, in a pawnshop in Wuhan, Ji Guozhen's looted watch and expensive snuffbox were found.

By the way, the gendarmerie quickly found the person who was these things:

Zhang Renli's cook!

According to the cook's explanation, this was a young man who stopped him when he was buying vegetables, saying that he was a pickpocket, and he had stolen something, and invited him to the pawnshop, and the money he got was divided in half.

The greedy cook agreed in one bite.

However, the so-called "pickpocket" was not found all over the city.

The Japanese have to face the same problem:

It's Zhang Renli again!

It is also an object that cannot be implemented by the method of joint sitting.

"It's all a conspiracy." Meiza Shicheng was a little helpless: "Zhang Renli was framed, but we can't help but give an explanation to the dead Ji Guozhen." ”

So, the Japanese finally published the results of the investigation:

Ji Guozhen's death was an occasional robbery and murder, and the murderer has been caught and the case has been solved.

In private, because Zhang Renli was involved many times, the Japanese decided that Zhang Renli would compensate Ji Guozhen's family with a large amount of compensation.

Being a traitor is really not that simple.

At this time, Meng Shaoyuan, the initiator of all this, had already left Wuhan and completed the rendezvous with Xiaozhong and Li Zhifeng's Ten Guards.

Xiao Zhong and Li Zhifeng have been waiting in Dayu Bay for a long time, especially Li Zhifeng, who wanted to go to Wuhan to find the chief several times, but was persuaded by Xiao Zhong.

Now that I see that the chief has finally returned safely, this heart can be regarded as relaxed.

"Sir, this is Li Songye, the president of the Dayuwan Carver Guild, and he is also my family." Li Zhifeng introduced the old man who came out to greet Meng Shaoyuan together.

"Thank you, Chairman Lee." Meng Shaoyuan shook hands with him.

The carver's guild here is not an official point of contact for the military command, but only a peripheral organization.

"You're welcome, sir." Li Song always looks like he is in his sixties, but his spirit looks good: "We people don't have any other skills, we will do carving skills, after the Japanese occupied Wuhan, the young and strong descendants all joined the anti-Japanese army, leaving us old women, women and children, today can do something for the chief, it is also our honor." ”

Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "It's inconvenient for us to stay here for a long time, the Japanese are very likely to come here, and we have to leave." ”

Li Song also suddenly asked, "Is the chief going back to Shanghai?" ”

"Yes."

"How are you going, sir?"

Belch.

Meng Shaoyuan was stunned for a moment.

Yes, that's easy to say, but how do you go back?

"Actually, there is still something I want to ask the chief for."

"President Lee, please speak."

"Sir, please come with me."

Then, Meng Shaoyuan saw a group of children.

The eldest is twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest is probably only six or seven years old.

I clicked it, and there were twenty-eight.

What do you mean?

"Sir, this." Liu Song also called the eldest child: "His name is Shang Heng, his father is Professor Shang Yetongshang of Wuhan University, and his mother is a journalist. And this. ”

He called a six-year-old child again: "His name is Wu Zhikuan, his father is the commander of the second company of the second battalion of the Wuhan Military Police, he was martyred when defending Wuhan, his mother died early, and his only relative, aunt and uncle, when he was evacuated from Wuhan, he encountered the Japanese, and they were all killed by the Japanese in order to protect him." ”

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly understood: "These children are all orphans? ”

"That's right, they're all orphans." At this time, a voice sounded, and then a person came out from the next room with two children who were no more than seven or eight years old: "This boy, named Jiang Mingchun, is the son of Jiang Xunke, chairman of the Wuhan 'Anti-Japanese Mobilization Pioneer Association', and this girl's name is Qin Fandie, the daughter of Qin Guangchun, the captain of the fourth brigade of the third column of Wuhan's 'Loyalty and Righteous Rescue', and they are all orphans now." ”

As soon as he saw this person's dress, Meng Shaoyuan suddenly had a headache.

This is not the Fourth Route Army, where else can it be?

"Hello, Mr. Meng." This person let go of the two children and shook hands with Meng Shaoyuan enthusiastically: "Let me introduce myself, I am Lu Kunlin, the instructor of the third battalion of the 40th Regiment of the 14th Brigade of the Fifth Division of the Fourth Route Army. I am currently the head and political commissar of the second detachment of the Southern Hunan Guerrilla Column, and I am very happy to see you here, and I hope we can have further cooperation. ”

The other party called himself "Mr. Meng" when he came up, and he didn't have to think that he already knew his identity.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't have to hide anything anymore, and laughed a few times: "Fortunately, Meng Shaoyuan, the acting head of the Shanghai Hidden Area of the Military Command Bureau, is in the lower military command." ”

"Mr. Meng is famous, like thunder." Lu Kunlin said with a smile: "Mr. Meng went in and out of Wuhan alone, as if he was in a no-man's land, and the strongest agent on the surface was worthy of his name, and he understood it. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the children: "They are all orphans, their parents died in the war of resistance, some of them came here by themselves, some of them were rescued by us, and some of them were protected by President Li regardless of their lives. However, Wuhan has been controlled by the Japanese army, and they will come to Dayu Bay anytime and anywhere, and it is not safe for children to stay here. ”

"What do you mean?"

"We would like to ask Mr. Meng to take these children to Shanghai or some other safe place." Lu Kunlin Zhengse said: "Their parents are heroes, so it can be regarded as something we have done for them." ”

Meng Shaoyuan asked: "Your troops are crisscrossing behind enemy lines, making the Japanese invaders fearful, and it is not difficult to take these children away, right?" ”

"It's hard, it's not hard." Lu Kunlin said: "But my second detachment has just been formed, and there is no need to hide these children if they are not strong enough to escort these children." And I reported this situation to my superiors, and the opinion of the superior leaders is that most of these children have lived a good life since childhood, and you also know that the conditions of our Fourth Route Army are very difficult, and I am afraid that they will not be used to it, and in order for them to continue their education, it is still necessary to send them to a safe big city. ”

"After the hero, it's okay for me to protect the original." Meng Shaoyuan pondered there: "But to be honest, we are in danger from Wuhan to Shanghai, and we have so many children, once something happens, my parents and I are in the spirit of heaven, and we can't explain it!" Captain, I can't afford that. ”

"If even the strongest agent on the surface can't handle it, who else can bear the burden?" Lu Kunlin smiled and said: "We have designed two routes for you to return to Shanghai, one is the northern route, east out of Wuhan, to Huangshi, through Huangmei, through Hefei, and then to the southeast, across the Yangtze River to Nanjing, through Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou to Shanghai."

The other is the southern line, out of Wuhan to Huangshi, turn south across the Yangtze River to Jiujiang, through Lushan, turn southeast to Jingdezhen, cross Wuyuan, east out of Jiangxi, reach Huangshan and then east is Hangzhou, West Lake, and then to Shanghai. In contrast, the northern front seems to be more suitable, where not only do you not have to cross the river, but there are also our guerrillas and the guerrillas of the military command who can meet them. ”

Okay, you've arranged everything for me, and I can't do it if I don't take the task?

Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while: "Since Captain Lu has said this, then I am also duty-bound." It's been a tough journey, but I'll do my best to protect these children. Captain, do you have a radio? ”

"There's one."

"Generous, the radio has it." Meng Shaoyuan gave a thumbs up: "You help me send a telegram to Shanghai, just say, 'Lao Tzu is in trouble, take the child, take the northern line, Wuhan back to Shanghai, and answer!'" ’”

What kind of telegram is this?
