Chapter Fifty-Three: Flying Down the Southwest Station, Mother Helps Cross the Border!

At 8 o'clock in the evening of May 1, 1974, I, Xiaoda, Zhou Xiaoming, Niu Shilong, Li Ping and Liu Fang received a notice from the school and immediately packed up their luggage and prepared to leave the school!

Actually, we had already packed up our things to bring before, I brought my luminous watch and pen, my family codebook film, and a few English pamphlets that I picked up at Mr. Tao's house, as well as the plainclothes luggage distributed to us by the school.

In addition, the luggage of the students was the same as mine, and we handed over documents such as student ID cards and daily necessities to the instructor who was responsible for collecting the dormitory.

Afterwards, the six of us dressed in ordinary civilian clothes and carrying duffel bags gathered at the playground.

On the playground, we saw Dr. Wei who came to see us off.

Dr. Wei shook my hand and said, "Ah Cai! Take care all the way! Be calm and think of a way! Don't fight hard until you have to! ”

I said, "Understood! You should participate in more physical training in school! Soon you'll be on the front line too! ”

After everyone hugged Dr. Wei and said goodbye, a military truck drove up to us.

An instructor called me right behind me and put us in the truck.

As soon as we got in the car, the car started!

We saw Dr. Wei alone in the playground, he kept shouting our names and waving at us!

Seeing this parting scene, all of us in the car were sad and wept!

......

At 10 p.m., a truck dropped us off at a barracks near a military airfield.

In an office in the barracks, we met Li Shaochang, the leader of the headquarters, and Jia Weimin, the principal!

There are also our classmates Ye Hailong, Du Wentao and Du Wenwu.

Principal Jia sat down with the six of us and joined them in a meeting.

Uncle Lee said: "Colleagues! You're real agents now! Headquarters has decided to have the nine of you form an overseas dispatch team! Prepare to be sent overseas on a mission tomorrow morning and carry out undercover work! The headquarters decided that this dispatch group would be codenamed Poison Wolf! Zhou Zilong served as the leader of the poisonous wolf group, Niu Shilong served as the deputy leader of the poisonous wolf group, Ye Hailong served as the supervisor of the poisonous wolf group, Liu Fang served as the confidential member of the poisonous wolf group, Li Ping served as the operator of the poisonous wolf group, and Zhou Zisheng, Zhou Xiaoming, Du Wentao, and Du Wenwu were members of the poisonous wolf group! ”

Principal Jia said: "Colleagues! Now the Poison Wolf Group has been formed! In the future, the poisonous wolf group will be directly managed by the headquarters Taishan! I am the direct person in charge of the Taishan number! You report to us! And under my direct command! I hope that you will take your own responsibilities, unite and assist, and complete the tasks assigned by the headquarters in a flexible manner! Stick to discipline, be loyal to the organization, and defend the mission! ”

Uncle Lee said, "All right! Zhou Zilong! Principal Jia will talk to you alone! I talk to Ye Hailong alone! Others, wait here! ”

Uncle Li took Ye Hailong to a room to talk.

Principal Jia took me to a room to talk.

Uncle Jia said: "Ah Cai! This time you are going to the place, the situation is very complicated! As a team leader, you must be fully mentally prepared! ”

I said, "Uncle Jia! Rest assured! I'll be adaptable and lead everyone to overcome difficulties and complete hidden missions! ”

Uncle Jia said: "Very good! Ahh For security and convenience! In the name of Mount Tai, I will give you a code name, your name is Red Star! Now, I'll give you the codebook film that the Wolves and Red Star are in contact with Tarzan! I hope you keep it safe! Use them when you get to the lurking spot! ”

Then, Uncle Jia handed us two miniature codebook films, which I hid in the heels of my shoes.

Uncle Jia said: "Ah Cai! What do you want to know? Just ask! ”

I said, "Uncle Jia! In the future, what do we say about our external identity? ”

Uncle Jia said, "Remember! Since March 1971, the nine of you have fled overseas to join relatives for life reasons! For specific identity documents, you are at the exit site, and we will explain it to you clearly! ”

I said, "Uncle Jia! Can you tell me, let's go to the place right away? ”

Uncle Jia said, "Yes! You have to exit through the South West Station and reach Saigon via North Vietnam! Find a way to get to Port City in Saigon! Then, go on a long-term lurk in Minato City! At the same time, find a way to infiltrate the enemy's interior! ”

I said, "Understood! Will there be someone to contact and help us after leaving the country? ”

Uncle Jia said: "Your exit will be arranged by the Southwest Station!" After leaving the country, the headquarters has no reinforcements and help for you! When you arrive at Port City and settle down, go find someone! This will give you some basic help! ”

Then, Uncle Jia took out a photo from his pocket and asked me to recognize the person! And tell me the location of the connection with this person, and the joint codeword, the joint code is, I first said: "The wind blows the willow flowers and fills the store." The other party wants to answer: "Who is the length of parting with you?" This is a change from the first and second sentences of Li Bai's "Farewell to Jinling Wine Shop"!

Uncle Jia said: "Ah Cai! Remembered? ”

I said, "Uncle Jia! Remember! ”

Uncle Jia put away the photo and said, "Okay! You go and rest with everyone! Someone will put you on the plane tomorrow morning! ”

When I talked with Uncle Jia and returned to the conference room, Uncle Li and Ye Hailong also returned to the conference room, and after we all shook hands with Uncle Jia and Uncle Li and said goodbye, we were taken to rest by a guard.

Li Ping and Liu Fang were arranged to rest in the same room; Ye Hailong, Du Wentao and Du Wenwu in one room; I, Xiaoda, Zhou Xiaoming, and Niu Shilong lived in the same room, and after we entered the room and put our luggage, we went to bed with our clothes and shoes in accordance with the regulations on war preparedness.

......

At five o'clock in the morning on May 2, 1974, all the members of the Poisonous Wolf Group were woken up by the guards!

We followed the guards out of the dormitory building with our luggage and got into a truck parked in the compound.

Soon we were transported to the military airfield by truck!

We got out of the car and boarded a military plane parked next to our truck with our luggage.

After getting on the plane, we put our luggage, sat down and fastened our seat belts, and the plane took off!

And just like that, we left the city!

We have lived there for three years, but we have never visited the city, the capital!

On the plane, I sat with Xiaoda and Zhou Xiaoming.

Xiaoda said: "Alas! Hurry! Where do we want? ”

I said, "The plane is heading south!" I guess I'm going to the Southwest! ”

Zhou Xiaoming said: "Didn't we go overseas? What are you doing in your hometown? ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Alas! Xiaoming! You didn't do well in geography class! It's the southern part of the country! It's easy to go abroad! ”

Zhou Xiaoming said: "Alas! The kind of poor mountains and bad water in North Vietnam! This time we are guilty! ”

I said, "Yes! Only in that kind of place is it the most secure for us to get a new social identity! ”

Zhou Xiaoming sneered and said, "Alas! The headquarters is really well-intentioned! I thought we were going to Europe or North America?! I never thought they'd send us that kind of hell place! ”

I said, "Alas! It's just a passing through! Our ultimate goal is Port City! After that, we're going to settle down in Port City! Waiting for the mission! ”

Zhou Xiaoming smiled and said, "Alas! Scare the hell out of me! That's not bad! The port city is a metropolis! Very bustling, I love it! The city that never sleeps! Pearl of the Orient! ”

Xiaoda said: "Xiaoming! What's your business with its prosperity? You're just an agent! ”

Zhou Xiaoming said: "Xiaoda! Agents are human too! We also have to live, and we should live! Do you understand? ”

......

At around 4 p.m., our flight landed at a military airport in Yongcheng in the southwest!

After the nine of us got off the plane, a minibus from the airport came to pick us up!

The person responsible for answering us is the deputy stationmaster of Southwest Station Ma Toyota!

Deputy Stationmaster Ma hugged me and Xiaoda!

Deputy Stationmaster Ma said: "Ah Cai! You're finally back! Let's go to the suburban barracks! Your mother Bai is always waiting for you there! ”

After the nine of us got into the car, we went straight to the suburban barracks!

When we arrived at the barracks, Deputy Station Chief Ma led us into a conference room.

There, I met my mother, who shook hands with every member of our Wolves group with tears in her eyes!

We sat down and had a meeting!

The mother said, "Colleagues! We have received an order from the headquarters to take charge of escorting you out of the country! We have made all the preparations for your departure! Zhou Zilong, Zhou Zisheng, the two of you stay! The others should go to rest with Deputy Stationmaster Ma first! ”

In this way, Deputy Stationmaster Ma took a few of them to rest.

After they left, Xiaoda and I went to get up and hug our mother!

With tears in her eyes, the mother said, "Oops! I haven't seen you for three years, and you've grown into adults! Ahh Xiaoda! You have suffered! ”

I said, "Mom! Don't think so! What about Wei Ma, Jing Di and Lilan? ”

Mother said, "They are here with Uncle Lan, Aunt Lotus, Lan Feng and Caixia!" They're in another room, I'll take you to meet them! ”

So, my mother took us to a living room.

There we met, Mama Wei, Jingdi and Lilan after a long absence, as well as Uncle Lan, Aunt Lotus, Brother Lanfeng and Sister Caixia, and Xiaoda and I hugged them one by one.

Then, Xiaoda talked with Uncle Lan, Aunt Lotus, Brother Lan Feng and Sister Caixia in a room.

I was in a room with my mother, Wei's mother, Jing Di, and Lilan.

Jing Di said: "Brother Acai! After you are gone, we will miss you every day! Now, I am 11 years old and in the first grade of junior high school, and Lilan is also 8 years old and in the fourth grade of elementary school! We all listen to Mom and Mama Wei! Everything is very good at home now! The shipping company is doing a good job too! ”

Lilan hugged me and said, "Brother Acai! Are you going to leave this time? ”

I said, "Lilan! Now, I'm on a mission! I'm going to do something very important! When my mission is complete, I'll be sure to come back to see you as soon as I'm done! ”

The mother said, "All right! Go outside and wait in the living room! I'm going to talk to Ah Cai alone! ”

Wei Ma took Lilan and Jingdi's hands and went out!

After they were gone, the mother said, "Alas! The whole of Vietnam is at war now! This time you will cross the north and south to Saigon! It's a very difficult road! I contacted our people in Vietnam through the internal line! They can only send you from the Sino-Vietnamese border to the northwest of the military buffer zone from Da Nang to Phu My! You have to rely on your own strength to get through the blockade, as well as the enemy's search and checkpoints along the way, so that you can reach Saigon! ”

I said, "Alas! I know the situation! Mom! What weapons and supplies do you have for us? ”

Mother said, "In terms of weapons, we will prepare one pistol for each of you, 50 rounds of ammunition, two hand bullets, and a sharp!" Because, you are refugees! It is not advisable to carry a lot of weapons and ammunition! In terms of supplies, we have prepared refugee clothing and luggage, anti-malaria, anti-diarrhea and other medicines, as well as first-aid kits! In terms of funding, the headquarters asked us to provide it to you, and it is not easy to exchange dollars here, so I prepared 500 dollars for you through acquaintances! If, no surprises! That's enough for you to get to Saigon! When you get to Saigon, figure it out for yourselves! ”

I said, "Mom! Good! I understand! I'll definitely find a way to complete this mission! ”

The mother said, "Ah Cai! You are refugees and agents when you leave the country! Be sure to keep it secret and conceal! When encountering a situation, be calm and think more about strategies and countermeasures! Don't fight hard! If it really doesn't work, you go and look for Uncle Nguyen Wu, I've already greeted them! They'll find a way to send you home! ”

I said, "Okay! I see! ”

The mother said, "About your identity! We have prepared a North Vietnamese expatriate card for you! If, these documents are not easy to use! You can replace it as needed locally! We've got two photos of each of the members of the Wolves team! A set of *** tools and potions! At the same time, I have prepared for you a military map, a compass, a flashlight, etc.! ”

I said, "Okay! I understand! Mom, when are we leaving? ”

The mother said, "At 6 o'clock this afternoon, you will go from here to the border crossing!" ”

Then, my mother handed me medicine, cash, as well as members of the Poison Wolf Group, photographs, a set of *** tools and potions, a military map, a compass, a flashlight, and other items, and I put them in our bags.

The mother said, "Ah Cai! My mission accomplished! Let's go out and say goodbye to our relatives! Wait, you can give your people a meeting! Explain to them the tasks and precautions! ”

After my mother and I returned to the living room, Mama Wei, Jing Di and Lilan, as well as Xiao Da, Uncle Lan, Aunt Lotus, Brother Lan Feng and Sister Caixia were waiting for us in the living room.

After Xiaoda and I shook hands with our relatives one by one and said goodbye, my mother left the conference room with her relatives in tears!

My mother waited to see off our loved ones, and we were sent home by a truck in the yard!

After my mother and the others left, Deputy Station Chief Ma and I held a meeting with all the poisonous wolf teams to explain the tasks, as well as distribute weapons, ammunition and supplies.

I told you about the goals of the action, the route of action, the difficulties that may be encountered in the action, and the precautions in the action.

Deputy Station Chief Ma and his colleagues from the Southwest Station distributed clothing, shoes, luggage bags, personal expatriate cards, and weapons and ammunition to the members of the Wolves Poison Wolf Group. They also use dry food and drinking water for the road.

After receiving the supplies, everyone began to change their clothes and shoes, and reorganized their luggage and belongings.

We transferred the luggage, belongings, and bags we brought from the school to the refugee bags.

I transferred the original three rolls of film to my underwear pocket, and I sewed the pocket with a needle and thread.

After we packed our bags, we went for a simple dinner.

After dinner, we waited for departure.

While we were waiting for departure, Deputy Station Master Ma came to talk to me and Xiaoda.

Uncle Ma said, "Alas! Ahh Xiaoda! The people you brought this time are all newbies! When you encounter a situation, you must think of more ways! The battlefield is no joke! ”

I said, "Uncle Ma! Rest assured! The devils can't play with us! Next time, we'll come back and bring you foreign gifts! ”

Uncle Ma smiled bitterly and said, "Alas! No need for gifts! As long as you can come back safely! We couldn't be happier! ”

Xiaoda said: "Uncle Ma! How are you doing now? ”

Uncle Ma said, "It's okay!" Anyway, I won't starve to death! Now, the headquarters is tight! We need the shipping company to subsidize us in order to live a good life! Therefore, everyone is very grateful to Mr. Bai and Mr. Cen! ”

......

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Deputy Station Chief Ma sent all the members of our poisonous wolf group to a sealed truck.

And just like that, we left the barracks.

At about 8 o'clock in the evening, we arrived at a border crossing.

After we got out of the car, a North Vietnamese officer led the nine of us through the Vietnamese border crossing.

After the crossing, the officer took us into an office.

The officer gave me a military map, and he said in Vietnamese: "Team Leader! I'll take you to Donghai later! Then, there are our fellows there to take you through the blockade! Remember, be sure to follow your fellow countrymen! The place you pass through is a minefield! It is estimated that the fellow can only take you to the northwest suburbs of Yanshan Port! Then, you're going to find your own way to Saigon! This is the latest map, you can take it with you on the road! ”

I said in Vietnamese, "Big brother! Thank you very much! When are we leaving?! ”

The officer said, "Go right away!" Our trucks are refueling! It's more than 600 kilometers from here to Donghae! Tomorrow morning, we'll be there! ”

After the vehicle was refueled, the officer got into the truck with the nine of us, and we set off, and after we left, I told everyone to sleep in peace.
