Chapter 111: The Point of No Return
At three o'clock in the afternoon of March 10, it rained in Nanxun Town, which was dripping, sparse and dense, and the rainwater flowed into a stream of water on the eaves, and fell in the corner of the wall along the dripping eaves. The scenery of the entire water town is blurred in the spring rain. The special operations team led by Tian Chengxi arrived at the designated location ahead of schedule and hid in various parts of the town. Tian Chengxi set up the temporary headquarters and a radio station on the second floor of an old-style inn more than 500 meters away from the liaison station of the third column. Nanxun Town, like the bustling Shanghai, most of this water town is full of blue bricks, white walls and gray tiles, and this two-story building stands out from the crowd.
At half past four, Tian Chengxi saw Ruan Bo carrying a small wicker box and holding an oil-paper umbrella on the street corner. A few dozen meters behind him was Ni Xin, wearing a top hat and a half-worn blue cloth robe. More than 100 meters behind Ni Xin are two plainclothes officers of the No. 76 Task Force dressed as vegetable sellers.
The liaison station of the third column is a teahouse that also sells all kinds of tea and refreshments, and at this time, the Pingtan artists who are invited to cheer up the entertainment every day are performing the famous "Antang Confession", and the dozen or so tables in the teahouse are almost full of tea guests. Ruan Bo stopped at the door, he didn't know that this was a road of no return......
A guy with a towel on his shoulder greeted him and beckoned business: "Hello boss, give me the umbrella." Come in. What do you drink? I'll get you a seat first. ”
Ruan Bo walked to the counter and said to the shopkeeper, "I'm here to buy tea." Double scented jasmine tea, how much is a tael? ”
The shopkeeper replied, "Listening to the accent of the gentleman, it doesn't look like a northerner." In the north, especially in Beiping, the water quality is not good, so flower tea is drunk. We all drink Longjing here. The small shop has a dragon well of a lion run. This year's new tea is coming down, last year's tea is 50% off, don't you want to order? ”
Ruan Bo replied: "I am from Fujian, although I am not from the north, but I like to drink flower tea. If you don't have one here, forget it. ”
The code is right. The shopkeeper smiled: "It's raining so heavily outside, even if Mr. doesn't have the tea he likes, please come in to take shelter from the rain and rest before leaving." ”
Ruan Bo looked at the sky and said, "Okay." But I don't understand the commentary. Please find me a seat, and if you have something to eat, give me something. ”
In the corner of the teahouse, in a semi-partitioned single room separated by wooden boards, the shopkeeper personally brought two refreshments: Sun Chunyang's zongzi candy, Suzhou's scalded dried silk, and a bowl of Yangchun noodles. Whispered, "Are you...... Why are you alone? ”
Ruan Bo replied, "I'm Ruan Bo. At 11:50 last night, I went to find Yang Shuang as originally planned, but I didn't see a gardenia that said it was safe, so I left alone. I waited for two hours in the spare place two stops away from Qixian Bookstore, but I didn't see Yang Shuang, so I had to leave first. I don't know Yang Shuang's current situation. I haven't been here before, and I don't dare to ask for directions, so I have to look for you all the way. So delayed but now. ”
The shopkeeper of the teahouse is none other than Lao Zhao, a boatman who used to accompany Zhou Chengbin to recuperate on a lonely island. He replied: "My surname is Zhao, and Stationmaster Zhou ordered: I must consult him first, and then decide whether to go to the station, or make another arrangement." ”
Ruan Bo replied: "I understand that Stationmaster Zhou has always been cautious, and this is right. ”
After a while, Ni Xin also left the teahouse, he seemed to be very interested in commenting, and stood there and listened. The guy hurriedly stepped forward and greeted: "Sir, what do you want to drink?" ”
"Find me a seat and make a drink of a regular dragon well. Man, this rain won't stop for a while, do you sell umbrellas here? ”
The guy was very enthusiastic: "Sir, you come here, share a table with these two bosses, and sit together." I'm going to buy you an umbrella. But sir, the afternoon tea price of our teahouse has doubled, isn't this because there are reviews? You don't care about the little money, sir, do you? ”
Hearing that the tea price had doubled, Ni Xin seemed to hesitate, looked at the sky, and the rain was tight, so he had to say: "Okay, then you go and buy me an umbrella first, and then give me a plate of rose pumpkin seeds." ”
Outside the teahouse, two vegetable vendors, dressed in plain clothes, set up a stall selling fresh camellia and water chestnuts through the eaves of the teahouse.
After receiving a telegram from the liaison station, Zhou Chengbin discussed with Dai Ru, and Dai Ru said: "Is something wrong with Yang Shuang?" What is the current situation in Shanghai? Can we try to find an inquiry? ”
At present, except for the two separate lines of Kong Wenqing and Liu Zezhi at Shanghai Station, the evacuation of other people is concealed and hidden. Kong Wenqing did not have a radio station, and the headquarters of the Chongqing Bureau did not issue an order to use it. Last time, Zhou Chengbin contacted him privately to deal with Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, and he was severely reprimanded by Shangfeng. If you want to inquire, you can only contact Liu Zezhi.
Since being accidentally rescued by Liu Zezhi in April last year, it has been a year since the two cooperated. Although they didn't meet much, there was a tacit understanding between the two. Zhou Chengbin knew that if Liu Zezhi felt the need to contact him, as long as there was a little possibility, he would contact the headquarters of the Chongqing Bureau through Xu Jianxue's radio station, and even risk contacting him directly.
He shook his head: "There is no way to inquire, we can only make our own judgments." I don't know Ruan Boqi well, but he has been in the military for six years, right? After the fall of Nanjing, he broke into the Wang puppet group through guò connections and went undercover in the Nanjing Municipal Police Station, which should be trustworthy. ”
Dai Ru replied: "Then call the liaison station and send him to the station." It's raining now, and it's hard to walk on the road, so it's estimated that I'll be there at eleven or twelve o'clock tonight. ”
"Okay, you can do it."
At six o'clock in the evening, Lao Zhao came to the elegant seat and said in a low voice: "Stationmaster Zhou called back: An hour later, that is, at half past seven, we will set off and rush to the station." ”
Ruan Bo nodded slightly, and a bitterness welled up in his heart. He was afraid that he would lose his temper in the teahouse, so Lao Zhao could see the flaws, and said: "It's not good that I've stayed here for too long, maybe it will arouse suspicion." I went out for a walk and came back an hour later when it was dark. ”
At this time, it happened that the performance of "Antang Recognition" was over, and it was time for dinner, and the tea guests chatted about the plot just now, and walked out one after another. Ruan Bo walked out of the teahouse with the crowd, the cold wind of early spring wrapped in rain and hit his face, looking out, his vision was blurred, maybe at this moment, it was not only the rain that blurred his vision, but also the sour and helpless tears, right?
Ni Xin counted the tea money, and also walked out of the teahouse, holding the black cloth umbrella that the guy had newly bought, and walked forward in the rain. In a narrow alley paved with bluestone slabs, he and Ruan Bo came together. Ruan Bo whispered a few words. Ni Xin didn't speak, and the two passed by.
Ni Xin came to the second floor of the inn, Tian Chengxi was waiting for him, Ni Xin said: "Captain Tian, Ruan Bo reports: Zhou Chengbin called back, asked the liaison station to leave at half past seven o'clock, and sent him to the station of the Third Corps. The fish took the bait. ”
Tian Chengxi was also very excited, and replied: "Just now, General Yingzuo Zhenzhao called, the troops have been arranged, and they have arrived at a location twenty kilometers away from here. The general told not to move this liaison station first, so as not to alert Zhou Chengbin. The general also ordered us to use four or five of the most elite men, carrying a radio station, to follow Ruan Bo and his entourage, find out the specific location of the third column, send a report directly to the general, and then evacuate immediately. After receiving the telegram. The general will complete the encirclement within two hours and completely annihilate this military command that dares to oppose the Japanese Empire. ”
Ni Xin nodded and said, "Starting from here, I estimate that they will take the waterway." There are two piers in Nanxun. In this way, the ships were immediately arranged at both piers. ”
"You're right, two camouflaged iron speedboats have been on standby for a long time. I immediately ordered someone to do it, and set up a radio station in each of the two boats in advance, so that I would be caught off guard by then. It is also possible for them to go overland. The two of us and Yamaki Ryuzo each led a team and set up an ambush at the intersection of the two piers and the exit of the town in advance. No matter which way they go, they can't escape our tracking. Let's get started. ”
After getting off work on the 10th, he left the 76th and returned home, Liu Wu was in an extremely depressed mood. Since Liu Zezhi was locked up, this young man felt that he had lost his backbone. I finally met with my brother in the morning, listened to my brother's hints, and went to find Zhang Keqing, but I didn't expect to hit a big nail. Could it be that my brother's judgment was wrong? Or did you understand what your brother meant? No way? He recalls the conversation with his brother word by word, and is confident that there will be no tacit understanding between the brothers. What's going on here?
Liu Wu remembered that Liu Zezhi also asked him to go to Xu Jianxue, of course, he asked him to send information, but he was empty-handed and didn't have any valuable information. For a whole day, he paid close attention to observation, only to find that Tian Chengxi and Shan Mu Longsan were not at No. 76, could it be that he went to northern Jiangsu with Ni Xin and Zhang Keqing?
Liu Wu was puzzled, so he had to cook some food first, and wanted to wait a little later, when the people who could call the shots in the office building were almost gone, and then find a way to find some excuse to meet his brother. But what excuse do you make? Will those people buy it? It is estimated that it is enough, and the relationship with each other is relatively good, Ni Xin is not here, Zhao Jingdong is no longer a person from No. 76, and he can't help. Others...... Alas, even Zhang Keqing, who usually has a close relationship with his brother, has become so powerful, who else dares to wade into this troubled water?
After dinner, Liu Wu walked around the room, not knowing what to do, and a few hours passed, at a loss. It was getting late, so I had to make my bed. Wait, Liu Wu suddenly remembered that Ni Xin said that his brother would not have any big deals, judging by his expression and attitude when he spoke, as well as his willingness to help his brother meet, this was not to comfort himself. In this case, why should Zhang Keqing be in a hurry to draw a clear line and refuse to be thousands of miles away? I went to him myself, and I only said one sentence except for the sentence that drove me away...... What did he say about that? Liu Wu remembered: Do you want to ask me about your brother? Liu Wu, it's not that I don't want to help you, I can't speak. Besides, you see I'm busy here, and I'm about to leave for northern Jiangsu......
I'm about to leave for northern Jiangsu...... Ni Xin also went to ...... Northern Jiangsu, northern Jiangsu is a guerrilla zone of the third column! And this is something that shouldn't be asked, it's confidential. I'm so stupid! Liu Wu understood that he had come over, so many people on the 76th hurried to northern Jiangsu, this is the intelligence! As for what this information says, he doesn't need to know, all he has to do is find Xu Jianxue immediately and report this information to her! Alas, more than ten hours have passed, and I hope I haven't missed a big thing.
