Early in the morning of February 27, 1975, me, Xiaoda, Xiaoming, Niu Shilong, Du Wentao, Lu Minda, Fang Guohui and other seven people took their luggage and belongings, and Li Ping and Lu Minsheng were responsible for driving two cars and took the seven of us to the airport.

After arriving at the airport, the seven of us got off the bus with our luggage and belongings.

Then, Li Ping and Lu Minsheng immediately drove back to the Demon Star Villa.

Since we have a special Allied Pass and an Allied military ID, the seven of us entered the airport waiting hall through the special military passage at the airport.

At 9 a.m., we boarded our flight to Pontianak City.

On the plane, after everyone put away their luggage, Lu Minda and I sat down and talked.

Lu Minda stared at the military luminous watch on my wrist.

Lu Minda smiled and said, "Ah Cai! Your watch looks so special! Can you show me? ”

I took off my watch and showed it to him, and he looked through it.

After looking at the watch, he gave it back to me.

Lu Minda said excitedly: "Ah Cai! My dad also has such a watch, exactly the same watch, and he also has a few Chinese characters on his watch, such as 'supervised by the Great Spirit Self-Defense Army'! Are you from Southwest Daling Town? ”

I said, "Yes! Your dad should be a fellow countryman with me! Moreover, he used to study at the Daling Military Academy! Is it? ”

Lu Minda said: "Yes! That's what my dad told me! I didn't expect us to be so close to each other! ”

I said, "Yes! Xiaoda is also a great spirit, he is my good friend since childhood! When we arrive in Pontianak, let's go and meet your dad together! ”

Lu Minda smiled and said, "Okay! My father, he would be very happy to know that you are his fellow countrymen! ”

......

At around 2 p.m., our flight arrived at Kuncheng International Airport.

After we got out of the airport, we saw that the traffic situation here is very bad!

There are no buses, only dilapidated motorcycles and rickshaws, and a few trucks doing transportation!

Lu Minda said to me, "Ah Cai! There are still more than 100 kilometers to the guerrilla zone, and it is very troublesome to walk into it! Why don't I go and build a truck quietly with Fang Guohui? ”

I said, "It's too dangerous to get a car here!" I'll give you money, you and Fang Guohui go buy a truck! ”

Lu Minda smiled and said, "Okay! Give me $8,000 and I'll buy your driver's license and ID card for everyone! ”

So, I took $8,000 out of my briefcase and handed it to Lu Minda.

After Lu Minda collected the money, he and Fang Guohui went to talk to the drivers and porters who were next to the truck.

......

Soon, Lu Minda and Fang Guohui drove a truck back!

Lu Minda jumped out of the car and said excitedly: "Ah Cai! The car was bought! I also got two driver's licenses and seven ID cards! ”

I said, "Good! ID cards are distributed to everyone according to the similarity of appearance! You're in charge of driving! Xiaoda and I sit in the cab to chat with you! Let's take the rest of the car! ”

Lu Minda smiled and said, "Okay! Alas, the ID photos are all blurry, and you can't see the human appearance anymore! Just send it to everyone! ”

After Lu Minda issued the documents to everyone, everyone got on the bus with their luggage and belongings according to my arrangement!

Then, Lu Minda drove, and Xiaoda and I also sat in the cab.

Everyone left the airport in a truck.

Our vehicle has just entered the city.

Suddenly, Xiao Da shouted, "Da Ge! Drive slower! I feel that the back of the begging man in front of me is very similar to Dr. Wei! ”

So, Lu Minda drove slowly behind the beggar.

When our vehicle stopped, the beggar was startled!

When the beggar suddenly looked back at us, we immediately recognized that this person was indeed Dr. Wei!

At this time, Dr. Wei's hair was messy, he was thin, his face was full of dirt, his eyes were dull, and his clothes were ragged!

Dr. Wei supported his body on crutches, holding a begging rice bowl in his hand, and stood dumbfounded on the side of the road!

So, Xiao Da, Niu Shilong, Du Wentao and others jumped out of the car!

They helped Dr. Wei onto the bed of the truck!

Several of them hugged and cried in the vehicle!

After Xiaoda returned to the cab, we drove away again.

......

On the way, I asked Lu Minda to stop at the food and grocery store on the side of the road, and Xiaoda and I got out of the car to buy enough food and drinks and distribute them to everyone.

Then, we were back on our way!

......

At 5 p.m., we left the city and entered the mountain road, and we began to enter the mountains.

At this time, Lu Minda suggested that everyone should rest and replenish food on the roadside grass here.

After parking the car on the grass, the eight of us got together to eat and chat!

Xiaoda has always liked and taken care of Dr. Wei, and when he was in Hong Kong City, he specially bought Dr. Wei two sets of internal and external clothes, leather shoes, daily necessities and luggage.

At this time, Xiao Da handed over the duffel bag to Dr. Wei!

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Brother Doctor! I knew I would be able to find you! This is my gift to you! Let's put on the costumes and shoes inside! ”

Dr. Wei said with tears in his eyes and a smile: "Xiaoda! You can keep these clothes for me first! I'm all dirty! I don't want to get these nice new clothes dirty! When I got to the camp, I took a shower and put them on! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Brother Doctor! You eat slowly! Don't overeat! ”

Everyone laughed!

Lu Minda said: "Ah Cai! This is the boundary between the guerrilla zone and the city, and after here, we are home! ”

After everyone finished eating, they got in the car and set off!

......

On the way, we encountered officers and soldiers who had set up a checkpoint.

After the guards at the checkpoint checked our vehicles and documents, they told us that there was a guerrilla-controlled area ahead, which was very dangerous, and that we should be careful!

After they gave us back the papers, they let us drive away!

......

After dark at 7 p.m., we passed several posts of several partisan detachments.

Then, reach the command of the guerrilla zone!

Outside the gate of the courtyard here hangs a plaque "National Guard Headquarters".

After Lu Minda greeted the guards here, our truck drove into the headquarters compound.

At this time, the compound was already brightly lit, and a group of personnel in the uniforms of the Self-Defense Forces were standing to greet us!

After everyone got off the bus with their luggage and belongings, Lu Minda and Fang Guohui introduced me, Xiaoda and Xiaoming to greet our leaders of the Self-Defense Army.

Among them, a man about 50 years old wearing the uniform of a major general, he is Lu Minda's father, General Lu Qiangjun, General Lu is the commander-in-chief of the Self-Defense Army.

A man in his forties wearing a colonel's uniform is called Fang Jianguo, he is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Self-Defense Army, and he is Fang Guohui's father.

General Lu asked Fang Guohui to take Xiaoda, Xiaoming, Wei Dafu, Niu Shilong, and Du Wentao to the barracks to rest.

Then, with my luggage and belongings, I followed General Lu, Colonel Fang, Lu Minda, and others into a conference room of the headquarters.

When we arrived at the conference room, General Lu, Colonel Fang, Lu Minda, and others sat on one side of the rectangular conference table, and I sat alone on the other side of the large square table.

Once everyone was seated, I was ready to talk to them.

Before the conversation, Lu Minda had a conversation with General Lu, Colonel Fang, and others for a while in the local dialect that I did not understand at all, and Lu Minda was supposed to introduce my situation to them.

After their conversation, General Lu smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou! Welcome to the headquarters of the Self-Defense Forces! How are you going to save people? ”

I said, "General Lu! I was ordered to come here to save people, and I am very grateful to the Self-Defense Forces for their reception, and at the same time, I want to receive support and cooperation! At present, it is impossible to save people with the strength of a few of us! Therefore, when we were in Port City, we learned about the basic situation of the Self-Defense Forces through Mr. Lu Minda! Therefore, I personally purchased a batch of equipment and ammunition sufficient to equip five thousand people and gave it to the Self-Defense Forces! We hope that the Self-Defense Forces will cooperate and help us rescue our mainland comrades-in-arms! ”

So, I took out the "Equipment Transaction Contract" and the "Equipment and Ammunition Acceptance List" signed with Uncle Zhong from my briefcase and handed them to General Lu.

They took the document, read it carefully, and then, and then they discussed it for a while in the local dialect.

In the end, General Lu smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou is really timely rain!" What we lacked, you sent us! On behalf of all the officers and men of the Self-Defense Forces, I would like to thank Mr. Zhou for his selfless assistance! We will definitely do a good job of receiving materials and arranging things to help you save people! ”

I said, "General Lu! We are our own people, don't be polite! What do you want us to do, please feel free to command and arrange us! I also brought a million dollars in cash, and now, I'm going to give it all to the SDF to fund your efforts to save lives! According to the instructions of the Continental Secret Service Headquarters, we must send our colleagues back to the Continental Headquarters as soon as possible! ”

I put the lockbox on the table and called,

Then, I handed over $1,000,000 in cash along with the lockbox to General Lu!

General Lu took out a stack of dollar cash from the lockbox!

General Lu clutched the cash tightly in his hand, and he began to cry!

Lu Minda took out a handkerchief and asked General Lu to wipe away his tears!

Then, General Lu said, "Mr. Zhou! You are a great benefactor of the Self-Defense Army! We must plan this operation well, we must not only save people, but we must also completely reverse the passive situation that the Self-Defense Forces are currently facing! Deputy Commander Fang! You hand over the cash to the finance department, and then you discuss the handling of weapons and equipment and the rescue of people! I went to my office with Mr. Zhou to talk about other things! ”

So, carrying my duffel bag and briefcase, I followed General Lu out of the conference room and went to his office.

After entering General Lu's office, we sat on the sofa in the office and drank tea and talked.

General Lu smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou! Let me see your watch! ”

I took off my watch and handed it to General Lu.

General Lu immediately put on his reading glasses, took off his watch, and compared the two watches.

Best, General Lu put down his watch!

He said, "Teacher Cen Tianhua, who are you?" ”

I said, "Teacher Cen is my cousin and uncle!" ”

He said: "Who are you Qin Tianhao?" ”

I said, "Qin Tianhao is my father, and my real name is Qin Jingcai!" ”

Speaking of which, General Lu hugged me and cried!

He cried and said, "Ah Cai! God, I'm Lu Qiangjun! He asked you to come to our rescue when we were in trouble! Today, I'm so happy! ”

When he let go of me, he wiped away his tears and said, "Alas! The world is unpredictable! When the mainland was in turmoil, I was exactly 25 years old! That is, I just graduated from the Daling Military Academy, I bid farewell to your father and Teacher Cen, and came to Pontianak alone to inherit the ancestral business! In the past, Pontianak was called Poja Chau, and it was an early gathering area for overseas Chinese! The Chinese have lived and developed this land here for hundreds of years, and the Chinese have been ostracized and bullied by locals and foreigners here! Therefore, after I took over the family business, I formed my own army of the Chinese and governed the area autonomously! Our army and jurisdiction have just been canonized and recognized by the authorities, and at the same time, we have a very close relationship with the mainland! However, then there was anti-Chinese here! Some of the bad guys who were instigated drove us Chinese out of the city and confiscated the family property we had accumulated over hundreds of years of hard work! For more than 20 years, we have struggled, struggled and survived in this mountainous area! ”

I said, "Alas! Uncle Lou! It's really not easy for you to live overseas! Why don't you think of a way to change this status quo and situation? ”

He said, "Ah Cai! Why don't we want to? Poverty is a vicious circle! In the beginning, we developed an agricultural economy in the mountains! Growing rubber, coffee, rice, etc., for commercial trade, can barely sustain the lives of the people in the mountains, and the operation of the Self-Defense Army! However, in recent years, the authorities have tightened the economic blockade against us and seized our territory! As a result, we are gradually losing our economic resources and natural resources! Our weapons, ammunition and personnel have also lost their normal replenishment! As a result, we have slowly fallen to where we are today! ”

I said, "General Lu! Now, how are you going to turn this around? ”

He said, "Yes! I'd like to hear your opinion on this! ”

I said, "Okay! General Lu will first introduce me to the local military situation! ”

General Lu said, "Okay! There are currently three forces in the region! The strongest force is the Central Army stationed in Kuncheng, they have more than 20,000 people, they are well-equipped and well-supplied! The second major force is the warlords who occupy a vast area in the east of our country, the Wujiashan clique! Wu Jiashan is of Chinese descent and is now canonized by the authorities as the supreme governor of the eastern province and the central and southern provinces here! His army is called 150,000 men! However, they raise their own funds, the authorities don't care, and they have to pay taxes to the authorities! Therefore, their equipment and the quality of personnel, etc., are far inferior to those of the Central Army! The third force is our self-defense forces, and we are caught between them! However, our jurisdiction has a population of 1 million, and the regular army claims to be 20,000, but in fact, there are only more than 5,000 in the army! More than 500 of them have to fight! That's it! ”

I said, "The most important problem in this region is the Central Army!" If you lose the Central Army, you can reverse the whole situation! Actually, the situation in Wujiashan is similar to that of our self-defense army! They are certainly not satisfied with the authorities as well, and they are in danger of being annexed by the Central Army! Therefore, we can unite with Wujiashan and take out the Central Army with us! They were responsible for mobilizing troops to surround the Central Army! After our Self-Defense Forces were supplied with equipment and ammunition, they attacked and controlled the Central Army Headquarters and the key departments of the Pontianak authorities, forced the Central Army to surrender, and established a temporary control center in Pontianak to control the entire city! Our goal is to take over Kuncheng and govern the entire western region! In fact, this is an incident, in order to prevent the higher authorities from pointing the finger at the Self-Defense Army, in terms of external propaganda, we must state that it was the rebellion of the middle and lower-level officers within the Central Army that caused the incident, and state that Wujiashan surrounded the Central Army only after receiving the report of the rebellion, and the Self-Defense Army entered the city only to maintain law and order and ensure the normal operation of the city! At the same time, in terms of external propaganda, we denounced the oppression of the people by the Central Army and the original authorities in terms of economy and people's livelihood, and won the support of the international community, so that the development of the whole matter would be just and legitimate! ”

General Lu applauded and said, "Ah Cai! You deserve to be a general! What a wonderful story! Tomorrow morning, we will immediately ask Wujiashan and them to come here to negotiate! When the time comes, you can join in! Wujiashan likes to be in the limelight! What a joy! He certainly agrees with this division of labor! If it happens! Wujiashan and the higher authorities must give us the canonization and jurisdiction of the areas under our current control and Pontianak City! The world speaks by strength and wisdom! ”

After I finished talking with General Lu, he continued the meeting with Deputy Commander Fang and other leaders of the Self-Defense Forces.

Lu Minda took me to the barracks to rest.

At about 8 o'clock in the evening, after Lu Minda took me to the barracks, he also went back to the headquarters for a meeting.

I lived in a barracks with Xiaoda, Xiaoming, and Dr. Wei.

At this time, Dr. Wei had already taken a bath and put on the new clothes and leather shoes that Xiaoda bought for him, and his whole person had changed!

However, Dr. Wei appeared thinner and shorter than when he was at the headquarters secret service school!

So, they sat around me and drank water and talked.

Xiaoda said: "Ah Cai! Ye Hailong has been looking for you just now! He wants to talk to you! ”

I said, "Yes! Go and call him! I'd like to know a little bit about him, too! ”

So, Xiaoda went out to call Ye Hailong.

Soon, Xiaoda and Ye Hailong came in, and no one spoke to him, and he sat next to me with his head bowed.

Then, Ye Hailong looked at me and began to cry!

I said, "Ye Hailong! Don't cry! If you have something to say, just say it! ”

Ye Hailong wiped away his tears and said, "Zilong! I underestimated the enemy so much that I caused today's catastrophe! You must rescue Liu Fang and them! ”

I said, "Better! We'll find a way to save people! Now, the Self-Defense Forces are discussing a plan to save people! Tell me about your basic situation in terms of personnel! ”

Ye Hailong said: "When we came out, there were twenty-five people! We lost seventeen people in the last battle! When the battle was over, five of us were back! Now, three of our alumni, including Liu Fang, Lu Pinzheng, and Cheng Science, as well as six guerrillas, are being held in prison by the enemy! That's it! ”

I said, "Alas! You have indeed lost too much in this operation! In the future, how will you explain to the headquarters? How can you be worthy of the parents and families of the victims?! After the rescue operation is over, you can report back to the headquarters yourself! My mission is to send you back to Port City! Then, the colleagues there arrange for you to go back to the mainland headquarters! ”

Ye Hailong cried and said, "Zilong! I can't go back! If I go back, I'm all done! Liu Fang and I hope to stay here and work! ”

I said, "Ye Hailong! I can't call the shots on this matter! We belong to different branches of management, and I'm just executing orders! It's your own thing to stay! I want you to think through the consequences! It's getting late, you go back and rest first! ”

So, Ye Hailong left our room, and he went to his dormitory to rest.

After Ye Hailong left, Dr. Wei said angrily: "This villain! Now I know I'm afraid to die?! That night, when he shouted at us to charge, how domineering he was! He said that whoever does not charge will shoot whom! If I hadn't fallen into the ditch, I would have been finished with those seventeen comrades! ”

Xiaoda said: "Brother Doctor! Did you deliberately jump into the ditch to dodge? Why don't you have any injuries on your body at all?! ”

Everyone laughed!
