Chapter 253: Reeds Swing Deliberations
"I don't know when Chief Liao will leave for Taihang Mountain after the matter in Chongqing is over?" At the banquet, Huai Yuanliang and Liao Fan sat together. Eん.
"Everything has been arranged, I plan to take the brothers back to Taihang Mountain tomorrow, and as for the liaison office in Chongqing, I hope that Brother Huai will take care of it." Liao Fan knew that if he wanted to open up the situation of the independent 33rd Division in Chongqing, he had to rely on Chen Cheng, otherwise they would not be able to stand in Chongqing at all.
"Doesn't Chief Liao want to stay in Chongqing for a few more days?" Huai Yuanliang didn't expect Liao Fan to go back in such a hurry.
Liao Fan waved his hand, and did not answer the question raised by Huai Yuanliang directly, a soldier saw Liao Fan waving, immediately ran into the room, took out a list and handed it to Liao Fan.
"This is the list of fifteen people who stayed in Chongqing, and I also trouble Brother Huai to hand him over to General Chen, as for the later stage, we will send a telegraph operator over, and we will definitely explain it to General Chen." Liao Fan handed the list in his hand to Huai Yuanliang.
Huai Yuanliang opened the list and carefully browsed it, there were indeed only fifteen people on the list, and these fifteen people were set by Liao Fan last night and asked for the consent of the soldiers this morning.
"I will definitely give this list to General Chen, and then give each of them a pass in Chongqing." As for this matter, Huai Yuanliang and Ben didn't need to report to Chen Cheng, he could decide for himself that Chen Cheng sent him over just to supervise Liao Fan and they really left.
Liao Fan raised his glass to thank Huai Yuanliang for his help, and a celebratory banquet with only one guest quickly dispersed.
That night, Liao Fan and the others had already prepared everything for the return to the north.
"Brother, the rest of the liaison points you left in the city should be dormant for a year for the time being, I need to set up the liaison office first, and I can't let the brothers take risks for the time being." Under the light, Liao Fan looked much better, and Liao Jundong said.
"I have already sent someone to contact them, and Xiao Zhou will be in charge of everything in the future, so that the brothers left behind will listen to Xiao Zhou's dispatch." Liao Jundong glanced at Xiao Zhou, who was sitting on the side, and told Xiao Zhou, "Those contact points are mainly for the purpose of making money, if you lack funds for activities in Chongqing, you can temporarily embezzle some money from them, but you must not hurt the capital." ”
"Brother Liao, don't worry, I'll live." Although Xiao Zhou is young, he still has the ability to take on things.
"Brother Wang, the things I handed over to you, you must not be in a hurry, wait for us to leave for a month before acting, as for the ghost house, try to go in the middle of the night, and when you go, you must see if there is a tail behind you." Liao Fan was most worried that the ghost house was revealed by the people of Chongqing, this was his secret agent who left in Chongqing, and all the information in Chongqing would be transmitted from them to Taihang Mountain.
Except for Brother Wang and Chu Pengtian, the rest of the people present didn't know what the ghost mansion was for, but Liao Fan didn't say it, and they wouldn't ask.
That night, Liao Fan wrote a letter overnight, handed the letter to Xiao Zhou, and asked Xiao Zhou to send it to Chen Cheng's mansion after he left, and in the letter to Chen Cheng, there was nothing special, just a thank you to Chen Cheng, as for why Xiao Zhou was sent it, after all, Xiao Zhou will be mixed in Chongqing in the future, and it is good for him to show his face in front of Chen Cheng.
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was bright, and Liao Fan and his party left the wharf in Chongqing by boat, and the wharf was still as lively as when Liao Fan and the others came, and even the fixed position of the spy did not change. Of course, Liao Fan can see through them, but it is not about his own safety, so Liao Fan is too lazy to deal with them.
When the spies on the dock confirmed that Liao Fan and his party had left Chongqing, they immediately went back to report the situation to their master.
Outside the city, there is still that reed, Liao Fan and Chu Pengtian have hidden here, and they are no strangers to the surrounding environment.
"Chu Pengtian, you take two warriors to be responsible for fishing, I take two warriors to take the soldiers to find some pheasant and duck nests, brother, you take the rest of the people to find a sheltered place to set up a camp." Liao Fan arranged for people to prepare to camp here tonight.
"Brother Fan, it's not yet noon, and you've just left Chongqing, why are you camping here?" A soldier heard Liao Fan's arrangement, why don't you hurry at this time tomorrow.
Liao Fan just smiled at him and didn't speak, and led the two warriors into the depths of the reeds, leaving everyone with puzzled faces.
"Let's go, I'll make you braised carp to eat today!" Chu Pengtian didn't understand what Liao Fan meant, so he simply didn't care, and walked directly to the river with the two soldiers.
In the afternoon, Liao Jundong had already led the soldiers to build three sheds with reeds to shelter from the wind and rain. Liao Fan came back with a few pheasants and threw the pheasants in his hand to Chu Pengtian and asked him to clean them up.
"Fanzi, you tell us the matter clearly, otherwise the soldiers will not be at ease with this meal." Liao Jundong pulled Liao Fan to sit beside him, and the surrounding soldiers surrounded him, and they also wanted to find out why Liao Fan ordered them to rest here.
Liao Fan looked at so many people and didn't understand, and deliberately cleared his throat: "When we got on the boat from the dock, did you have anything abnormal?" ”
"Brother Fan, I'll tell you!" Chu Pengtian held his dirty hand and shook it in front of Liao Fan, when he went out fishing just now, he was carefully wondering why Liao Fan didn't continue to go.
Liao Fan nodded and motioned for Chu Pengtian to continue talking about the current matter.
"When we first entered Chongqing, those people arranged a lot of manpower at the Chongqing wharf in order to arrest Brother Fan, waiting for Brother Fan to throw himself into the net," Chu Pengtian clearly remembered the situation they encountered when they took the boat to the wharf, "This time I went back, and I saw that there were still many spies hidden in the crowd on the wharf. ”
"There are so many people on the docks, how do you know that they are spies?" A soldier didn't understand how Chu Pengtian knew that there were spies in the crowd.
Chu Pengtian cleared his throat and deliberately made himself speak a little majestic, but before he could speak, Liao Fan took a piece of mud from the mud next to him and threw it on Chu Pengtian's face. When the soldiers saw the flying mud, they were stunned at first, and then they all laughed happily when they saw Chu Pengtian's face covered with mud.
"You haven't been an official yet, and you're going to be an official when you speak?" Liao Fan criticized Chu Pengtian, and then took over the conversation, "Most of the people on the dock are laborers who transport goods, and only a small number of people are bosses, but the bosses are not drinking tea on the dock, eating melon seeds and reading newspapers, so those people must be spies." ”
"Also, they were neatly dressed, and although they had newspapers in their hands, their eyes kept looking around, and they didn't pay any attention to the newspapers in their hands, so they must have been watching us at the docks." After Chu Pengtian wiped his face clean, he snatched Liao Fan's words and continued.
"Chu Pengtian's observation is good, you continue to tell me why I let the soldiers camp here instead of hurrying away?"
When Chu Pengtian heard Liao Fan's question, he stammered and didn't know what to say: "That... This one... Brother Fan's actions are unfathomable, and of course those of us who are subordinates can't guess what Brother Fan means. ”
"Haha" Seeing that Chu Pengtian couldn't answer, the soldiers laughed again, and Chu Pengtian just laughed with everyone in embarrassment.
"Hey! Someone in Chongqing wants our lives! Liao Fan lowered his head and broke the reed pole in his hand.
The soldiers who were originally laughing heard Liao Fan's words, and instantly fell silent, only to hear the sound of the wind sweeping the reeds, and the sound of fish slapping in the water not far away.
"Fanzi, are you saying that some people in Chongqing want to borrow knives to kill people?" Hearing Liao Fan's words, Liao Jundong was shocked into a cold sweat.
They walked from Chongqing to Taihang Mountain, on the way through countless checkpoints and blockade lines of little devils, and most of the time they were walking in the enemy war zone, if someone deliberately leaked their whereabouts to the Japanese, then if they wanted to return to Taihang Mountain on this road, I am afraid that the road was a hundred times more dangerous than when they came.
Liao Fan didn't speak, just nodded at the soldiers who looked at him, telling them that the way back was more dangerous now.
"Brother Fan, we can live in this reed swing for ten days and half a month, and when the little ghost loses patience, we will go north." Chu Pengtian suggested.
"It's a good way, but once my whereabouts are leaked, the little devil will definitely be difficult for the troops in Taihang Mountain." Liao Fan was really worried about the safety of the 33rd Independent Division, the troops had just separated, especially since Li Weimin's troops were now stationed at the former division commander Chen's troops, and they must have been the first to be attacked by the little devils.
"This ......"
Most of the soldiers were worried about their safety, they didn't expect that the troops in Taihang Mountain would face such a big danger, and for a while, everyone had no idea, and the reeds fell silent again.
"Brother Fan, what can you do, but tell everyone quickly, this is a big matter related to the life and death of the troops." A soldier is in a hurry, he came out of Taihang Mountain, once the troops in Taihang Mountain are wiped out, the people of Taihang Mountain will not be much better.
"Today we live here temporarily, tomorrow morning our soldiers will divide into two roads, Chu Pengtian and I will still take the same road we took when we came to Chongqing to return to Taihang Mountain, and my brother will take the rest of the people to take the road where Brother Wang came, and by the way, we will find the wounded on the road and take them away." Liao Fan arranged the task.
"Fanzi, you can bring a few more people, I don't need so many people here." Liao Jundong was worried about Liao Fan's comfort, after all, Liao Fan was now carrying the lives of thousands of people.
"No, Chu Pengtian and I are enough to deal with the situation on the road, that is, so many of you act, strive to rest during the day and rush at night, and the little devil's checkpoint can be bypassed, so we can bypass it." Liao Fan continued to add, "Chu Pengtian and I will leave early tomorrow morning, brother, you take the rest of the soldiers and leave tomorrow night." ”
Liao Jundong nodded, and did not argue with Liao Fan about the safety of the road, now it is not safe for them to go any way, so they can only try their best to ensure their safety.
