Volume I, Chapter 25
It was a night when the north wind was raging, and a figure in the darkness rushed to the door of Wang Yunqing's house, and he looked back vigilantly while banging on the door. When the door opened, he whispered a few words to the janitor and then dodged in, and the door was gently closed.
Wang Yunqing was reading a book in the study, and the servant reported outside the door: "Master, a gentleman has something very important to see. ”
Wang Yunqing thought to himself, who has something important to see me at such a late hour? He told the servant, "Please tell the man his name." ”
The servant said, "Sir, the gentleman said that he would report his name after seeing you, and he is now waiting in the courtyard." ”
"Then let him in." Wang Yunqing got up to greet him.
The door was opened, and a man in black walked into the study with a cold wind, and when the man stood in front of Wang Yunqing, he was stunned, he never thought that the person who came would be Ma Liangchen! Wang Yunqing's eyes widened in surprise, and he didn't know what to do for a while. Ma Liangchen dusted off the dust on his body, bowed his head and knelt on the ground to ask for peace: "Father-in-law is above, my son-in-law has saluted you!" ”
"Who is your father-in-law? The Wang family has already severed relations with you, you will give me out immediately! I don't want to see you! Wang Yunqing has long been deeply acquitted of this son-in-law, and he pointed out the door and issued an eviction order.
"You are not welcome in the master, hurry up!" The servant who was standing aside stepped forward and dragged Ma Liangchen......
Ma Liangchen raised his head and begged, "Slow! I know you don't want to see me, and I don't think I have the face to see you, but it's not too late for you to listen to me first and then push me away. ”
"Can you spit ivory out of your mouth? You say, I'll listen. Wang Yunqing sat down after turning to the bookcase, and he took out a pistol for self-defense from under the table and loaded it and placed it on the table.
Ma Liangchen stood up and whispered: "I have important information to hand over to **!" ”
Hearing Ma Liangchen say this, Wang Yunqing suddenly became alert. He thought to himself: This kid is here to set me up today, right? Don't be fooled! He thought of the pair of Ma Liangchen and laughed: "Joke! Your spies are arresting and killing **, can you send them information? I don't believe it. Besides, why are you sending intelligence to me? ”
Ma Liangchen didn't speak, he turned his head to look at the servant standing aside, Wang Yunqing understood his intentions, so he waved his hand to let the servant retreat. At this time, Ma Liangchen said coldly: "You are not **, but your old man has a connection with them, according to my investigation, some friends around you are suspected of **!" ”
Hearing Ma Liangchen say this, Wang Yunqing was shocked, he slapped the table and scolded Ma Liangchen: "Nonsense! You're being framed! Do you think you haven't stolen enough money from me? You're going to frame me again! ”
Ma Liangchen saw Wang Yunqing's nervous appearance and hurriedly changed to a gentle tone and said: "Father-in-law, don't be afraid, according to my experience for many years: ** can't be caught and killed." I'm not going to send anyone to arrest them again. Besides, the world is about to become a **, and catching a few more ** can't save Lao Jiang's country, so why should I not go with **! And I don't want to do this hurtful errand, lest I be punished in the next life!" He looked out the window vigilantly and said to Wang Yunqing mysteriously: "My information is true, 100,000 urgent!" Please be sure to hand it over to the ** organization tonight, if you don't believe me, you will definitely regret it! He took an envelope from his pocket and placed it on the table, saying, "Thank you for that unkilling!" Please tell **, I, Ma Liangchen, beg them to give me a chance to make meritorious service and atone for my sins! After Ma Liangchen finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
As soon as Ma Liangchen left, Wang Yunqing hurriedly opened the envelope on the table, and there was a note inside: At about 7:30 tomorrow morning, five people including Huang Tingting of the Communist Party will be secretly executed. Death row prisoners were presented by Prison No. 1 in dark brown unlicensed stuffy tankers. The driving route is out of Deshengmen and towards Beitucheng, and the execution site is near Tucheng. Save people quickly! Cut! Cut!
Wang Yunqing looked at this note suspiciously: Ma Liangchen, a military commander spy who has lost his conscience, actually wants to save the lives of ** people? What the hell is he playing? At this time, Wang Yunqing and his brother-in-law General Feng Xuanxia had become important figures in the ** united front camp under the instigation of Huang Boyang, and they were secretly contributing to the peaceful liberation of Beiping. Did the spy really find out that he was involved with **? Wang Yunqing crumpled the note into a ball and threw it on the ground and said to himself: "Could it be that this Ma Liangchen has heard our secret, and he wants to set up a trap for us to drill?" That's going to be a big problem! Thinking of this, Wang Yunqing was afraid for a while.
"You can't be a spy!" Wang Yunqing paced back and forth in the room, trying his best to think. He knew that Ma Liangchen was a villain who saw the wind and steered the rudder, and when the Japanese were powerful, he would defect to Japan, and when the Kuomintang was in power, he would defect to the Kuomintang. Although it is difficult to determine the authenticity of the information provided by Ma Liangchen, what if it is true? Can Huang Tingting and other ** members who are about to be killed die? Thinking of this, Wang Yunqing picked up the note from the ground, carefully flattened and folded it into his arms, and then put on his coat and walked out of the door.
Wang Yunqing hurriedly came to the bedroom and told Mrs. what had just happened, Mrs. Wang was both afraid of Ma Liangchen and worried that Huang Tingting would be killed, and she was nervous and didn't know what to do. She persuaded: "Ma Liangchen is a harmful spy, where does he have the good heart to save the life of the **, it is better not to wade into this muddy water, so as not to burn himself!" ”
Wang Yunqing told his wife: Today's incident is a blessing or a curse, and it can't be avoided, and the matter must be managed whether it is true or not! He felt that he had to tell Huang Boyang about it immediately.
Mrs. Wang pulled up Wang Yunqing's sleeve and asked worriedly: "I know it's important to save people!" But what if this is a trap for spies, and we want to catch all of you? Be careful! Ma Liangchen, that person has a black heart, and he can do anything that lacks virtue! ”
"Without further ado! Things are forced to come to this, and I have to jump in knowing that it is a trap! Wang Yunqing has made up his mind.
"If you fall into the trap of the spies, our family will be completely finished."
Wang Yunqing saw that his wife was worried, so he comforted her and said, "Don't worry! I'm not so stupid, you can wait for me at home with peace of mind, I'll go back as soon as I go! Rest assured! It's going to be fine! ”
In the dark night, Wang Yunqing asked the driver to start the car and left the house in a hurry.
Along the way, Wang Yunqing looked back from the car window and found no cars tracking. He let the car go around the road and through the alley for a few circles, and then drove directly to his brother-in-law Feng Xuanxia's military camp. Soon after Wang Yunqing's car drove into the barracks, an American-style jeep drove out of the barracks, and Wang Yunqing sat among the several soldiers in the car. The jeep quietly drove towards the Liuli Factory and stopped in front of Huang Boyang's antique shop. Half an hour later, the jeep quietly returned to the barracks, and this time there was another Huang Boyang in addition to Wang Yunqing.
In winter, the sun does not rise until after seven o'clock in the morning. A few sparrows are bouncing in the snow at the entrance of a prison in search of food. With the sound of "bang", the two black iron doors of the prison were opened, the sparrow flew away in fright, and a dark brown car drove out. It was a windowless stuffy tanker, and the driver in the cab and two other people were dressed in civilian clothes, one of whom was a special agent Ma Dabeard.
The stuffy tanker rolled the snow and drove cautiously, it came to the front of the Desheng Gate Tower after a few circles, there were defensive antlers and sandbags piled up in front of the city gate, a few soldiers with guns intercepted the car, Ma Dabeard showed his ID card and said a few words to the soldiers guarding the checkpoint, and then the soldiers guarding the checkpoint moved the barricade and let him go. Ma Dabeard's car had just left the city gate tower not far from the city gate, and a military jeep also drove out of the city, and the jeep was not far from the tailgating tanker. After a while, the spy in the cab saw the military jeep following behind in the reflector, and he reminded Ma Dabeard, who saw that the car belonged to the national army, so he did not arouse his vigilance. When the stuffy tanker truck was about to drive to the edge of Tucheng, a military truck blocked the road in front of it, machine guns were set up on the carport, and several soldiers with guns stood in front of the car raising their hands and shouting: "Stop!" The stuffy tanker had to stop on the side of the cold and deserted road, and the butt of the car "suddenly" emitted black smoke. At this time, the jeep following behind drove over, and the two cars in front and behind sandwiched the stuffy tanker in the middle. Seeing this scene, several spies in the cab hurriedly jumped out of the car.
From the front and rear military vehicles, more than a dozen soldiers armed with guns and nuclear bombs surrounded them, led by a sturdy colonel officer, who strode up to several spies and pointed to the stuffy tank truck and asked loudly: "What are you doing?" Where to go by car? You have to open the doors and get checked! ”
One of the older spies was Ma Dabeard, who said with a smile on his face: "Sir, we are doing business, isn't it almost the Spring Festival, pull some goods to the countryside to make some money to spend!" ”
"Several counties outside Beiping have been occupied by the communist army, do you want to send them supplies? I warn you, the Communists are going to be killed! The handy colonel made a gesture with his hand to wipe his beard around his neck. Ma Dabeard was very unhappy in his heart, but he had a smile on his face.
The battle-hardened spies nodded and said unhurriedly: "We are serious and law-abiding businessmen, and we only know how to make money and dare not cooperate with the Communist Party." ”
The colonel pointed to the car with the closed door: "Doing business? So what's in this car? Open the door and let me see! ”
"This, this, it's just some ordinary New Year's goods." Ma Dabeard said hesitantly.
"How to use stuffy tank carriages for ordinary New Year's goods? You made it clear, what exactly is in it? If you can't tell, you can't think about it! The colonel glared, and the soldiers next to him raised their guns in unison.
Encountering these arrogant and difficult soldiers, Ma Dabeard was in a hurry. He pretended to be scared and walked up to the officer and whispered, "The commander won't tell you that in order to make more money, there is some contraband in here." Just be kind and let me go!. As he spoke, he took out a few bills from his pocket and stuffed them into the other man's hand and said, "This is a dollar, it is very valuable, and it is almost a holiday, so it is a tribute to the brothers." ”
The colonel pouted disdainfully: "How can this little money be enough for a few of our brothers to spend!" You open the carriage, and I want all the goods inside! When he saw that the bearded man was motionless, he waved his hand and said, "Brothers, smash the door open!" Search for me!"
Hearing the commander's words, the soldiers rushed up and picked up the butts of their guns and were about to smash them on the car door. Seeing this, Ma Dabeard was anxious, he rushed forward with an arrow step to protect the car door with his body, and changed his respectful and humble appearance just now and said menacingly: "Stop!" I'll see which of you dares to move! Let's tell you the truth, Lao Tzu is a member of the Secret Bureau, we are on important official business, you stinky soldiers, fucking get out of here! Ma Dabeard took out the pistol on his waist and pointed it at the soldiers, saying: "You have obstructed official business, be careful that you can't eat and walk around!" ”
"You say you're from the Secret Service? I also said that I was the director of the secret bureau, Mao Renfeng! But who believes it? I think you look like plainclothes in the communist army! The colonel shouted to the soldiers around him: "Take them all down for me!" ”
Ma Dabeard usually looks down on these soldiers, "Do you want to rebel?" I'll see which of you dares to move! He roared at the soldiers who had gathered around him, raising his gun and shooting it. One soldier rushed forward and smashed the butt of his gun on his calf, and he fell to his knees with a painful crack, and another soldier stepped forward and fired his gun; The spies and drivers next to him were all held to the waist by the soldiers, and their hands were raised one by one. The colonel ordered the bearded man in an unquestioning tone: "Tell me honestly, what is in the car?" ”
Ma Dabeard stiffened his neck and said arrogantly: "If you ruin the major affairs of the party-state, our Secret Bureau will not let you go!" ”
"Now that the whole city is under martial law, I have been ordered by my superiors to interrogate all suspicious elements. If I'm not honest, I'll even detain people and cars, and I'll give you a minute to think about it. Say it to you or not! The colonel said with a fierce look at the horse's bearded head.
Ma Dabeard felt that it was impossible not to say anything about it, so he had no choice but to tell the truth: "To tell the truth, we are from the Einsatzgruppen of the Secret Bureau, and there are a few communists in the car who are about to be executed. I hope that the brothers will let him go. ”
Hearing the spy tell him about the situation in the carriage, the colonel put away his gun, changed his stern expression and said to Ma Beard with a pleasant face: "It turned out to be your own person, why didn't you say it earlier!" It turned out that we were washed by the flood and the Longwang Temple family didn't recognize the family. I'm sorry, it's all my fault!"
"Now there are Communist Party eyes everywhere inside and outside the city, we are carrying out secret executions, and we cannot expose our targets in public, let alone expose our identities, this is iron discipline!"
The colonel asked the soldiers to let go of a few spies, he pulled Ma Dabeard aside and said: "In my opinion, we are all our own people, and it doesn't matter if we don't expose the target, there is no one in this place, just pull those communists out and solve them on the spot!" It's so cold, how good it would be to hurry up and go back to drinking! Seeing Ma Dabeard's hesitant expression, he took out his military ID card from his pocket and handed it to Ma Dabeard and said, "This is my ID, don't you still believe me?" ”
Ma Dabeard looked carefully at the documents and then at the colonel himself, and after a little thought, said: "Actually, there is nothing to keep secret, so let's do it." With your national army to protect me, don't worry, hurry up and kill those few communists, so as not to have too many dreams at night! ”
Ma Dabeard walked to the stuffy tanker and knocked on the door twice with his hand, and the two agents in the carriage unlocked the door from the inside after hearing the secret signal to open the door. With a "squeak", the thick door was opened, and an unpleasant musty smell wafted out of the carriage, Huang Tingting and other five people were tied up crookedly in the airtight carriage with towels stuffed in their mouths, and the bright sunlight suddenly shone into the dark car, shaking them so that they couldn't open their eyes. There were two spies in the car, and when they saw Ma Dabeard, they pushed and kicked the prisoner out of the car.
Huang Tingting fell on the snow, she struggled to stand up and squinted at the long-lost sun, she knew that this moment was the end of her life, she looked at the blue sky with infinite nostalgia, the snow, when a person is close to death, he can deeply understand how beautiful it is to live. However, she has no fear in the face of death, and she will die calmly for her beliefs. Her regret before her execution was that she died too young, like a delicate flower bud that was about to wither before it bloomed; She also has another regret, which is to die on the eve of the red flag about to be planted all over the motherland.
The spies asked the prisoners to stand in a row on the side of the road, Huang Tingting looked at the ground covered with white snowflakes and couldn't bear to trample on it with her feet, and the spies brutally dragged her to the side of the road. Huang Tingting puffed up her chest and took a deep breath of cool air, because her mouth was blocked, she and her comrades who were dying together could only say goodbye to each other with their eyes, and then closed their eyes and waited for the deadly gunshot.
Ma Dabeard and the other five spies stood behind the five prisoners, drew their pistols and pointed them at the back of their heads, when the colonel officer who was standing on the sidelines shouted: "Slow! Don't do it yet! ”
Ma Dabeard lowered the muzzle of the gun and looked back puzzled: "Why?" ”
"Come here, I'll tell you." The colonel beckoned to him.
The bearded man walked up to the colonel, who said to him, "Come and smoke a cigarette, this cigarette belongs to the Yankees!" Just hand them over to your brothers, and you will need to do it yourself. ”
The colonel reached for a cigarette in his trouser pocket, and the bearded man walked up to him with a grin, but the colonel's hand took out not a cigarette but a sharp dagger from his trouser pocket. I saw a flash of cold light, and the chest of Ma Dabeard, who was caught off guard, was pierced by a dagger. The bearded man looked horrified at the handle of the dagger stuck in his chest and then at the colonel, and before he could snort, he fell forward like a heavy pocket on the snow, and he did not understand what was the matter until he died. Before the other agents could react, they were pierced with bayonets by the soldiers who swarmed up, and they staggered to the snow, leaving pools of blood.
This happened in an instant, and before Huang Tingting and the others could figure out what was going on, they were put on the truck by the soldiers of the national army. The colonel drove away in a jeep and a large truck.
The leader in kidnapping Huang Tingting and others was Zhang Mingde, the colonel's adjutant who had rescued Wang Hongju, Zhang Mingde was an underground **, and the dozen or so soldiers who followed him were either ** members of the Kuomintang army or brothers who shared life and death with him. The rescue operation was designed by Huang Boyang, Wang Yunqing, and Feng Xuanxia. After seeing the information sent by Ma Liangchen the night before, Huang Boyang thought: After all, this is a matter of human life, although Ma Liangchen is not credible, but it is better to believe that he has something or not. After he and Wang Yunqing combined, they thought that it was the safest and safest way to rescue Huang Tingting and others with the help of Feng Xuanxia's strength, Feng Xuanxia also agreed, he patted his chest and said that he must rescue these **, and he handed over the task of rescuing prisoners to his most trusted adjutant Zhang Mingde to carry out.
Is Malachen's information credible? What's the mystery behind this? Is it a trap designed by secret agents? The insidious cunning of the spies is well known. In the face of this operation, Zhang Mingde, who was both wise and brave, was fully prepared. His plan was to send someone to ambush him early in the morning, and he would secretly follow the tanker after it left the city, stop it on a secluded road in the name of inspection, and find out what was going on in the tanker. If there are spies hidden in the stuffy tanker and a trap set up to trap ** people, they can use the identity of the national army to say that it is a routine inspection of suspicious vehicles, and if there are indeed ** people who will be executed inside, they will resolutely destroy the enemy and rescue their comrades. Zhang Deming believes that this operation can only be outwitted, not forced, to avoid endangering the lives of Huang Tingting and others due to the spy dog jumping over the wall in a hurry. Due to the careful planning, the rescue of Huang Tingting and others this time was very beautiful!
