Chapter 144: Evacuation
That night, Zhu Muyun returned to Chaoyang Lane alone. In the afternoon, An Qinghui invited several workers to dig at Hu Mengbei's residence. What Hu Mengbei wants to protect must be the most important thing. Shi Xixia concluded that there must be something very important in the basement below.
Shi Xixia didn't know that it was just a secret passage below. Of course, it also serves as a basement. But the basement is more of a cover, and even if someone finds out, no one cares about this secret passage.
Taking advantage of the black, Zhu Muyun went back to the house opposite. After returning, he looked around carefully to make sure there were no suspicious people before returning to his house. After entering, Zhu Muyun didn't turn on the lights, and went straight to the basement. After locking the entrance, Zhu Muyun lay outside the secret passage door leading to Hu Mengbei, listening carefully to the movement.
The door could only be opened in one direction, and it was thick, and it was made of iron with a layer of mud on the outside. When the door was closed, whether it was from the basement on Zhu Muyun's side or the secret passage on Hu Mengbei's side, it looked like it was tightly sealed, and it was difficult to see the flaws.
After listening for a while and feeling that there was no danger, Zhu Muyun took out his gun, put the bullet on his head, carefully opened the door with his left hand, and waited with the gun in his right hand.
Except for a puff of dust blowing in front of him, there was no one else in the tunnel. Zhu Muyun found a flashlight and looked at the secret path carefully. Although the explosion was the entrance, the place was also involved. A layer of dust has fallen from the top of the dark tunnel, and it is easy to leave traces if you step on it.
But at this time, he couldn't care so much, and quickly found the location of the radio station and moved the radio station and codebook back to his basement. After closing the door of the secret tunnel, quickly install the radio station, connect the antenna, and look at the password while turning it on. And the pistol, casually placed next to it.
Zhu Muyun looked at the password very quickly, he looked at ten lines at a glance, his brain was running at high speed, and he tried to remember what he saw in his mind. Of course, tonight, he only needs to send a warning call, see the required ciphercode, and write it down first.
When the radio station was connected, Zhu Muyun quickly sent out a set of codes, the content of which was only a few simple words: Hu has been exposed, on standby. There is only one word in the inscription: grass.
In order to ensure that the organization can receive it, Zhu Muyun sent it twice, which is also a common practice. The more important telegrams are usually sent twice, and can only be completed after the other party receives them correctly. The content of the telegram was inherently short, and if a word was missed, the content would be completely reversed.
Take off the headphones, turn on the flashlight in his left hand and hold the gun in his right hand, and open the door of the dark passage again, he must check the dark passage once to make sure that he does not leave any usable clues for the enemy.
It's just that the entrance has completely collapsed, and Zhu Muyun will definitely not be able to dig up anything with his hands. Even if he had the tools, he wouldn't be able to dig out what was buried underneath. Based on Zhu Muyun's understanding of Hu Mengbei, there may be some materials at the entrance of the dark passage, such as party documents, some progressive books, and the like. In addition, it is possible that the pistol that was not found was there.
When Zhu Muyun heard the tick of the signal received by the radio, he quickly ran back to the basement on his side. He glanced at the time, and only fifteen minutes had passed between the time the telegram was sent and the time it was received back.
This time is very short, from the other party receiving the telegram, to translating the telegram, sending it to the chief, and then calling back, encoding, and sending the report, the whole process is full of calculations, and it takes about 15 minutes. That is, the chief received the telegram as soon as possible and reacted in the shortest possible time.
When receiving telegrams, Zhu Muyun does not need to record, which is his biggest advantage. While pressing the code, he quickly flipped through the code book, and soon, Zhu Muyun was stunned.
Because the return call of the organization was also short: Comrade Weeds, please evacuate quickly.
What Zhu Muyun was thinking about was how to rescue Hu Mengbei. But the organization is concerned about his safety. But how could he evacuate under such circumstances? The reason why the organization allowed him to evacuate was because he did not understand Hu Mengbei's situation. But Zhu Muyun believes that Hu Mengbei is extremely loyal to the revolution and will never betray the organization.
Therefore, there will be no problems with your own safety and there will be no need to evacuate. The most important thing now is to rescue Hu Mengbei. He immediately sent another report with his thoughts and the steps he had taken.
Soon, however, he received another harshly worded reply: Comrade Weeds, please observe discipline, evacuate first and then try to rescue.
When he was officially engaged in underground work, Zhu Muyun worked out an evacuation plan with Hu Mengbei. However, as his position changed, the evacuation plan was often revised. Like Hu Mengbei's evacuation plan, it is completely possible to leave from the dark passage and go out of the city directly from the north of the city. Even if the spy has three heads and six arms, don't try to catch him.
But Hu Mengbei underestimated the situation and did not make the right decision, resulting in imprisonment. Needless to say, Zhu Muyun's importance will be exposed, and if he is exposed again, it will be a great loss to our party.
Zhu Muyun had no choice but to call back: ask for leave tomorrow and leave Guxing in the afternoon.
When the telegram was sent, Zhu Muyun felt a sense of powerlessness. For an underground worker, being evacuated due to an unexpected circumstance meant a mission failure. Moreover, leaving behind his comrades-in-arms and comrades, and leaving in order to survive, can Zhu Muyun feel at ease?
After Bian Mingze received Zhu Muyun's last telegram, a smile of relief finally appeared on his face. Hu Mengbei's exposure was very unexpected. But it also shows that there is no room for negligence or luck in intelligence work. Mistakes in any one area can lead to fatal consequences.
Our party's first principle for underground workers has always been to put safety first. No matter how important the intelligence is, personal safety must be considered first. The party organization has never encouraged the sacrifice of lives for the sake of intelligence. This point is very different from that of the military commander and the Japanese puppeteers.
Immediately, Bian Mingze's face became cold again, Hu Mengbei was arrested, and the weeds intelligence group was disbanded. With this, Zhu Muyun will face great danger. He had to understand this matter in detail before he could know the whole story.
But no matter what, the most important thing at the moment is to rescue Hu Mengbei. Bian Mingze also firmly believes that Hu Mengbei is a loyal revolutionary fighter and will never be a traitor. However, this is the way of organizing. When one comrade is exposed, the comrades of the entire line must be transferred or hidden.
Zhu Muyun is a public figure, he can't move or hide, and the only way is to evacuate. Of course, there will also be temporary and permanent evacuations. Zhu Muyun meant that he was only temporarily evacuated and waited for further news.
In view of the importance of the Weeds Intelligence Group, Bian Mingze did not dare to make the decision alone. He took the telegram and went to the head of the column to report. After the Eastern Hubei guerrillas were defeated, the Kuomintang army finally stabilized. However, the troops of the New Fourth Army still did not return to Zhupo Mountain. Therefore, the inaugural meeting of the Fifth Division has never been held.
Zhu Muyun hid the radio station in his basement, and in the basement on his side, there was also a dark room, which was specially used to store the most important things. In order to cover the secret passage, he deliberately put some gold bars, oceans and other things in the basement. Real secrets, kept in a dark room.
The radio station was placed inside, but the codebook was burned by him. After reading it several times in a row, Zhu Muyun was convinced that he had memorized the codebook backwards. His dark room, even if someone finds out, even if they know that he has a radio station, it can be explained. But if the codebook is discovered, it is not going to be recruited.
In the dark room, there were also two grenades, this thing was extremely powerful, Zhu Muyun thought about it and took them out. walked into Hu Mengbei's secret passage, and also made two tricks. If the agent digs a tunnel, they will trigger these two grenades as soon as they walk in.
As for the traces of the secret passage, he carefully removed them with a broom. Actually, there is no need to clear it. As long as the spy dares to enter the secret tunnel, it will definitely trigger a grenade. At that time, the entire tunnel will be destroyed again, and all traces will be removed.
It's just that, in order not to destroy the door of the secret passage, Zhu Muyun placed the grenade as much as possible on Hu Mengbei's side. Although the door of the secret passage is very strong, if it is impacted, the camouflage on the door will fall off, and there will be endless trouble.
Zhu Muyun's task is not to prevent things from developing to this point. Although he reported to the organization, he asked for leave tomorrow and evacuated in the afternoon. But what if you don't take time off? Is it okay to evacuate the day after tomorrow?
Maybe the organization will criticize itself for being unorganized and undisciplined, but Zhu Muyun feels that as long as Hu Mengbei can be rescued, even if he is criticized, he is acceptable. He can walk away now, but what if something happens to Hu Mengbei? I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life.
Hu Huiqin's fierceness left a deep impression on Zhu Muyun. If Hu Mengbei also sacrificed, wouldn't it be too cruel?
After taking care of everything, Zhu Muyun locked the door of the secret passage, and at the same time carefully closed the entrance to the basement on his side. The entrance on his side is more complicated than Hu Mengbei's, and it is similar to Baishi Road. There is a mechanism at the entrance that locks the door from the outside. Moreover, the place where the control mechanism is located is some distance from the entrance.
Open the mechanism, the entrance will not open, and you must also open the entrance manually. If you don't open the mechanism, the entrance is completely locked, and you won't know that it's a basement entrance. This double layer of protection ensures maximum security at the entrance.
After returning home, Zhu Muyun couldn't sleep. His own latent work has been going well. However, just one negligence exposed Hu Mengbei. Recalling when I first joined the party, I had to listen to Hu Mengbei's lectures every night, how beautiful it was at that time.
Thinking that Hu Mengbei may be being tortured, that kind of inhuman punishment, even if you think about it, makes people chill. But Zhu Muyun tried his best to drive this idea out of his mind, and he thought of a reliable and safe way to rescue Hu Mengbei. I have such a wide network and a lot of relationships that can be used, so there will definitely be a way.
PS: Keep asking for votes.
