In the early morning of the third day of the first lunar month, there was a cold drizzle in the sky, and a man wearing a coat and a hat rushed to Guyang in the dust. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As soon as he arrived in Guyang, he immediately went to the barracks of the 118th Regiment.

"Lao Xie, why are you here?" Liu Er was very surprised when he saw Xie Chunlei, according to the regulations, Xie Chunlei should not come to the joint until the day after tomorrow.

"This is a letter from the head of the column to Mr. Yang, please forward it to him immediately." Xie Chunlei tore open his clothes and took out a letter rolled into a stick.

"I have something to report to the chief, and the situation has changed......," Liu Er said, "On the first day of the first month of the 118th Regiment, someone came to labor the army, and he was so generous that it naturally attracted his attention.

The 118th Regiment did not have a party organization before. But after Liu Er came in, he soon developed a group of party members and established the 118th Regiment Party Committee. The 118th Regiment was indeed preparing for an uprising, but it was not him who did the work for Zhang Baomin, but Yang Jingqu, a patriotic businessman in Guyang and president of the Guyang Chamber of Commerce.

Yang Jingqu has been doing Zhang Baomin's work, and last year, Zhao Wenhua came to the 118th Regiment under the pseudonym Li Hua to investigate the matter of the Communist Party, which is not groundless. It's just that Li Hua only investigated the 118th Regiment, and did not find Yang Jingqu, and has been running for the 118th Regiment.

"The head of the column already knows what is happening here, and I am here for this." Xie Chunlei said.

"The chief knows?" Liu Er's face was stunned, and suddenly, he thought of Zhu Muyun, it couldn't be him, right? But soon, he dismissed the idea. Zhu Muyun is a member of the Political Security Bureau, how can he be a comrade of our party? There were quite a few people who came that day, and if he had to choose, he would rather trust the chariot and horse shop.

"The military commander has intervened, the 118th Regiment must speed up the pace, and the date has been set. You hurry up and let me know, I'm still waiting for a reply. Xie Chunlei said that there are Japanese strongholds on the periphery of the 118th Regiment, and if the 118th Regiment withdraws to the base area, it will definitely have to get the cooperation of the New Fourth Army.

Moreover, according to the news from the underground party, in order to prevent the 118th Regiment from falling to the New Fourth Army, the military commander may join forces with the Japanese. This situation is very urgent, and the heart of the Communist Party will not die, so it has to be guarded against.

After Zhang Baomin sent Liang Dexun and others away, he explained the situation to Yang Jingqu. After Yang Jingqu learned that the military commander had already set his sights on the 118th Regiment, he had actually persuaded Zhang Baomin to take matters in advance. Now that he has the letter from the leader of the column, Yang Jingqu has more confidence in his heart. This is a letter written by Commander Li of the column, himself. Commander Li's words were sincere, he could understand Zhang Baomin's concerns, and he also knew the difficulties of the 118th Regiment, and at the same time made arrangements. He very much welcomed the 118th Regiment to return to the embrace of the people.

Zhu Muyun arrived in Guyang from the Bank of China, and he wanted to ask Qian Jiacheng for dinner, but he couldn't find anyone. I went to the barracks and found that martial law was on. Zhu Muyun went to Zhang Baomin's house again, and was told that Zhang Baomin was in the barracks. The explanation Zhu Muyun received was that the 118th Regiment had military operations.

Zhu Muyun went to the highest restaurant in Guyang, stood on the third floor, looked in the direction of the barracks, and found nothing abnormal. Originally, Zhu Muyun planned to return to Guxing the next day, and even if he didn't see anyone, he couldn't go back.

At dawn the next day, the carriage of the hundred miles of carriages came to pick up Zhu Muyun. On the first day of work today, Zhu Muyun went to Zhennan Hardware Factory and did not see Li Bangfan. The principal officers of the Political Security Bureau meet either in the special high school section, in the city hall, or at the garrison headquarters.

At noon, Zhu Muyun first went to the underground party's dead mailbox, and after finding that there was no information, he returned to the dock. He believed that Gu Yang's affairs were already known organizationally. Before receiving a reply from the organization, he could not rashly meet with Deng Xiangtao.

In the evening, Zhu Muyun came home from work and finally found a reply from his superiors. The organization told Zhu Muyun that the 118th Regiment was scheduled to be held on February 12, and asked him to cooperate. No information can be disclosed before 8 a.m. on February 12. After eight o'clock, in order to ensure their own safety, they can reveal it to the Japanese puppet organs and win their trust.

"Stationmaster, something is wrong." Zhu Muyun went to see Deng Xiangtao at night, but deliberately delayed it until after ten o'clock, even if he told Deng Xiangtao the information and fed back to Chongqing, it would be early in the morning. And the officials in Chongqing, I am afraid that the reaction will be after eight o'clock tomorrow.

"What's wrong?" Deng Xiangtao asked, he did not doubt that Zhu Muyun only came to meet in the evening. After all, Zhu Muyun is still the head of the first investigation section, and he has his own job, and he can only come to meet him on the premise of ensuring safety.

"When I arrived in Guyang yesterday afternoon, I didn't see any of the people from the 118th regiment. It is said that there is a military operation, and after I came back today, I inquired that the Sixth Division has not done anything recently. Zhu Muyun said. Since there are people in the 118th Regiment in the military commandery, Deng Xiangtao should also know the information he provided.

"No wonder." Deng Xiangtao groaned and said that Liang Dexun also went to Guyang today, but so far, no news has come back.

"Stationmaster, the 118th regiment, will you have to do something?" Zhu Muyun asked.

"Very likely, in this way, you don't leave yet, I'll report to Chongqing." Deng Xiangtao said: If the 118th Regiment really throws itself at the New Fourth Army, the consequences will be very serious.

The contact with Chongqing was originally in charge of Xu Huiying of the Telecommunications Division, but when it came to the telegrams of the "rooster", he personally coded and sent the telegrams. The military commanders are rich and well-equipped, and Deng Xiangtao and Xu Huiying both have radio stations.

But Deng Xiangtao's telegram was sent out like a stone sinking into the sea. Two hours passed, and there was still no callback. Zhu Muyun knew that either Chongqing was in contact with Liang Dexun, or the gang of officials had already returned home from work, and there was no one who could be the master.

"Why don't we meet again tomorrow morning?" Zhu Muyun said that waiting for a call back was uncomfortable, and the more he waited, the more anxious he became.

"Now that the commissioner is not in Guxing, we must take drastic measures. If Chongqing agrees to my plan, you will immediately report the situation in Guyang to the above. If Chongqing vetoes my plan, don't be surprised. Once Chongqing calls back, I will reply outside your home, 1 yes yes, 2 no. Deng Xiangtao said.

"Yes." Zhu Muyun thought about it, tomorrow he will go to the Zhennan Hardware Factory, just around eight o'clock. When the time comes, if you delay a little time, you can not only cooperate with the 118th regiment anyway, but also pick yourself out.

In fact, no matter how Chongqing responds, Zhu Muyun can use the first plan. It's just that if that's the case, it's not good for him to mention it to Deng Xiangtao. Early the next morning, Zhu Muyun rode out, and on the telephone pole at the mouth of the alley, he saw a "1" and two small white dots underneath. This is the mark left by Deng Xiangtao, and Zhu Muyun understands it.
