Chapter 001: Shocking
"Just now, Chen Chunpu, the provincial chairman, personally called, asking us to catch the murderer as soon as possible. He said that the order was given by Vice Admiral Ryozo Fukuda, commander of the Japanese fleet on the Chinese side. Your police force must do its best! I'm telling you, if my mayor's position is not secured, I'll dismiss you first!" "Wang. Zhang Zhuokun, the mayor of Guangzhou, who had just taken office for more than a year after the Jingwei regime took office, was extremely angry. He could never have imagined that something so big would happen in his jurisdiction.
Just half an hour ago, the port of Guangzhou, where the Second Dispatch Fleet of the Chinese Fleet of the Empire of Japan, a friendly country, was temporarily stationed, and a Japanese transport ship carrying military rations exploded and caught fire. The fire soared into the sky, dyeing the quiet midnight red, and half of Guangzhou could be seen.
"Please rest assured, Lord Mayor, I will do my best." Guo Weimin, then the chief of the Guangdong Provincial Police, assured. Although he does not accept the jurisdiction of the mayor, this matter is a major matter for the Japanese, and it is not allowed to be sloppy. "Mayor Zhang, this. It's too godly, the Japanese fleet is still parked in the harbor, and they can actually light a fire there. Guo Weimin said cautiously.
"They're really everywhere. The Japanese are not having a good time right now. It was a ship carrying military rations that was bombed. It was originally planned to be shipped to Hankow early tomorrow morning. Zhang Zhuokun and Guo Weimin usually have some friendships, and in his opinion, there is no need to hide the secrets of the Japanese from his brothers.
"Mayor, has Nanjing considered the current situation? I heard that someone is in contact with Chongqing. Shouldn't we also think about a way out? Guo Weimin asked heartily. The Japanese army suffered successive defeats on the battlefield, some Wang. Jingwei government officials are worried about their future. The Nanjing Wang puppet government is already discussing reunification with the Chongqing Nationalist Government. There is also a lot of news from the military and political dignitaries below.
"It's time to think about it. However, we still have to take care of the things in front of our eyes first. Don't let this go wrong. "Zhang Zhuokun also doesn't have much confidence in the Japanese." Immediately send people to block the wharf, prohibit all ships from entering and leaving, and search all hotels and restaurants in the city. By the way, we also have to send people to keep an eye on major hospitals and clinics. It is heard that some of the people who carried out the bombing were wounded by gunshot wounds. ”
"Yes, I'll do it." Guo Weimin saluted and left the mayor's office.
It was February 1945. Although it is southern, the winter nights are also a little cold.
In February 1945, Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union signed the Yalta Agreement, which stipulated that the Soviet Union should declare war on Japan within three months after the end of the war in Europe. China was not invited to participate. Because the United States and Britain sacrificed China's sovereignty (such as recognizing the independence of Outer Mongolia) in exchange for the Soviet Union's dispatch of troops to Japan, it is also known as the "Far Eastern Munich" conspiracy.
After February 1945, although the Japanese warlords had basically opened up the mainland communication lines after the Battle of Henan-Xiang-Gui, due to the frequent attacks of the American Air Force from the interior, coupled with the increasingly tight Pacific theater, the Allied forces were gradually approaching the Japanese mainland.
At this time, Chen Gongbo, who succeeded him as acting "chairman" of Wang's puppet regime, chairman of the Military Commission, president of the Executive Yuan, and other important posts, was "reorganizing party affairs." This is because the party departments of the puppet Kuomintang at all levels, from the central to the local, have become virtually non-existent, and very few people are in charge of them. To this end, he "reorganized party affairs" in three steps: the first step was to restore the activities of the established puppet party departments at all levels; The second step is to sort out the party membership; The third step is to elect delegates to the National Congress of the Puppet Kuomintang.
In a dark alley, two young men were running in a woman wearing a Japanese colonel's uniform, the woman's stomach was slightly bulging, she was still holding a gun in her hand, she had a gunshot wound on her chest, blood was gushing, and she was a little delirious.
"It's coming soon, you hold on." A young man was relieved that he couldn't let her fall asleep.
"Thank you, Huazi, give birth to a son, I can still hold on." The woman replied stiffly. She didn't know the severity of her injuries, but she felt that half of her body was numb, and her mind was also chaotic, and she relied on instinctive reactions to speak.
Several people came to the door of a small courtyard, and one of them came up and knocked on the door. "Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock", three, two, four, this is the signal they agreed. The operation tonight was successful, but it also came at a heavy cost. The captain of the operation died, and several comrades were also hitched along. The planned escape route was secretly ambushed, and it is estimated that there is a mole. The woman was also shot and rescued by someone who came to answer her.
Someone inside also knocked on the door, "Knock knock".
"Knock knock, knock knock, knock", the people outside responded with a different rhythm.
The courtyard door was opened a small crack, and several people squeezed in. The courtyard was silent, and there was no electric light in the house, and a few figures flickered faintly. The door opened, and someone shouted, "Come in quickly." Someone was hurt? Hurry up and go to the basement. ”
The bookshelves in the room were moved about half a meter away, and a hole appeared in front of them, and bright light reflected from inside. Several figures walked down one after another.
"The operation was successful, but the captains and they all died." The woman's voice was faint, almost inaudible.
"Comrades have worked hard, and the price we paid for victory is too great. But their sacrifice was worth it. Your actions have succeeded in crushing the enemy's plot. Blowing up the little devil's grain ship is a trivial matter, and blocking the enemy's fleet from the port is the real meaning of your operation. I will apply to my superiors for the first-class merit of all comrades in this operation. A middle-aged man said to the unconscious woman.
"Put her on the bed. Dr. Nie, hurry up and operate on him. This operation is thanks to her. Another middle-aged man sighed. The woman had studied in Japan and joined while she was still in school. After returning, he worked as a doctor in a Japanese military hospital and was awarded the rank of colonel by the Japanese army.
"yes, she made us all blush. With a big belly, he said he wouldn't let her go, but he still didn't stop her. Director Chen smiled embarrassedly.
"There's no way, none of us can get in, only her identity can do. But it's a pity that after this operation, she was completely exposed. The information we have received from her over the years has helped us so much. When she recovers, she will have to be sent to Yan'an. ”
"Her husband died last year, and now she doesn't even have anyone to take care of her. I heard that her mother-in-law also died in that battle? Director Chen asked.
His husband also joined the underground party in Guangzhou, worked as a small clerk in Wang's puppet Guangdong Provincial Government, and in order to better cover each other's identities, the organization agreed to the public marriage of the two. In October last year, her husband received information on a provincial government document about Yongding County, Fujian Province, where his mother was the head of the women's department of the Yongding County Party Committee. So he acted privately, didn't report to the organization, and rushed to report the news overnight, but it happened that the Yongding Kuomintang security group raided. The Yongding County Party Committee was unfortunately sacrificed. Her mother-in-law, suffering from severe arthritis of the foot, was unable to break through with the guerrillas and took the initiative to take on the task of covering. He committed suicide with his gun raised when fighting to the last bullet, and he also died a heroic martyr. ”
"What a martyr. It's all good", Director Chen sighed sincerely, "She must be saved!" We must not let our comrades chill their hearts. ”
"Director Chen, I can only take out the bullet for her to stop the bleeding, but her injuries are too serious, and she is eight months pregnant, so she must have a blood transfusion immediately. You can't do it here. Dr. Nie examined it and said to one of the middle-aged men.
"Now the Japanese side must be on full alert, and no hospital can go to it. Doctor Nie, let's operate on her first to stop the bleeding. Comrade Zeng Sheng immediately tried to send her to Hong Kong for treatment. Director Chen gave two orders.
"Director Chen, do you still have to think about it, it's too difficult to send her to Hong Kong. Now the gang of doglegs in the police department must have blocked all the main roads out of the city. The port of departure must also be tightly guarded. Not to mention going to Hong Kong, it is difficult to go to Shantou. Another middle-aged man patiently retorted.
"Commissar Huang, she is an anti-Japanese hero, the only survivor of this operation. His life must be saved. Let's activate the secret passage! Director Chen slapped the board firmly.
"It's okay to activate the secret passage, but to go to Hong Kong their offer is ten gold bars." Zeng Sheng next to him said.
"Give them a bunch of moths. Sooner or later, this account will have to be settled. Comrade Zeng Sheng, it's up to you to do this. You have to do it yourself, and you can't make any mistakes. During this time, the people we absorbed were not very pure, the censorship was not in place, and it is estimated that there were traitors appearing. Director Chen said hatefully.
"In order to expand the ranks, it is true that the members admitted in the previous paragraph were not subjected to strict scrutiny. I've heard that some areas are simply perfunctory, as long as the ingredients are in line with all the absorption, it's no wonder that this doesn't cause chaos. In the future, we will strengthen our work in this regard. "Director Huang also has some hatred for iron and steel.
Political censorship is his main job, but the whole Guangdong Province is too big, and it is Wang. Jingwei's nest and Wang's puppet government attach great importance to the control of Guangdong Province. Underground work is inherently difficult, and it is difficult for them to even gather intelligence without a large number of teams. As the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression drew to an end, resisting Japanese aggression was the desire of the people, and at this time, as underground leaders, they relaxed their vigilance and relaxed the restrictions on recruiting underground workers.
They arranged to send this female underground party to Hong Kong, and Dr. Nie, who was separated by a curtain, also completed the operation on her, took out the bullet, and performed a simple bandage. She was still unconscious in bed. It was the morning of the next day, and there was a lot of noise in the streets, with police blowing whistles everywhere and arresting people everywhere.
