Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, in August 1948, the air is filled with gusts of hot wind, and summer is here again.

In Li Renbao's office at Tangshan Station of the Secret Bureau, Li Renbao sat with a sad face. Lu Renjie, Zhou Zhenghua, and Zhao Fuchen sat on the sofa silently.

Li Renbao lit a cigarette, took a puff and said, "At present, the situation of the national army in the national battlefield is grim, as far as North China and Northeast China are concerned, they have basically lost contact and are trapped in a lonely city, the area around Chengde has been occupied by the communist army, and the 13th Army is preparing to withdraw the army, and the area around Tangshan is also the world of the communist army, and the party-state is in crisis, so we must strengthen our confidence and make the final preparations." ”

Lu Renjie took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhou Zhenghua, lit it himself, and asked, "Stationmaster, what is the final preparation?" ”

"This! Tianjin Station said that it would be instructed in two days," Li Renbao said hesitantly.

Zhou Zhenghua stood up and walked up to Li Renbao and asked, "Zunhua is also occupied by the communist army, and it is only a matter of time before we attack Fengrun, and besides, the Northeast National Army only has Changchun, Shenyang, and Jinzhou to collect, stationmaster, what else can we prepare in Tangshan?" ”

Li Renbao glanced at Zhou Zhenghua with dissatisfaction and said, "The party-state soldiers must be ready at all times!" ”

Zhao Fuchen sighed and said, "It's only two, the annual strength ratio is 4 to 1, and now it's 1 to 1.3, the general trend has gone!" ”

"Nonsense, Tianjin and Beiping are still in our hands, we have more than 500,000 troops in North China, and the communist army is only more than 200,000!" Li Renbao said in a fierce voice.

"Stationmaster, I'll tell you the truth, if the Northeast is gone, there will be millions of people in the Northeast Communist Army entering North China, do you say that Beiping and Tianjin can be defended? Besides, Chief Fu and the president are not in harmony, you know, don't we can't leave when the time comes! Lu Renjie looked at Li Renbao's face and said, "Your house, good things are in Tangshan!" ”

"Renjie, you said so, it's over!" Li Renbao was just about to continue, the phone rang, he picked it up and said, "I'm Li Renbao, okay, I'll go to Tianjin!" Alright, I'll leave for now, and that's the end of the meeting! He stood up and packed up.

Lu Renjie returned to his office, Zhou Zhenghua followed in, sat on the sofa and asked hesitantly, "Is this the end?" ”

Lu Renjie sat on the chair of the desk, took a sip of tea and said, "It's not over, two years ago, the president attacked in an all-round way and now is in full defense, now Jinan is not guaranteed, Tianjin to Nanjing is cut off, Shijiazhuang is the road to Beiping where the communist army ends, you say that when there are many people, you can't fight people, and there is a good one when there are fewer people?" ”

"What do you say, what should you do in Tangshan?" Zhou Zhenghua is not dry.

"Run! It's this time, what else do you want, sister! You are easy to do, with your father covering, he has a good relationship with Chen Cheng, and you still eat and drink spicy food when you go to Taiwan, but it is bitter for us who have no roots, where to run? Where to run to Nanjing, to Guangzhou? Lu Renjie looked at Zhou Zhenghua, who was uncertain, and said, "Why don't you talk to your father and find me a way out?" ”

"Lu Renjie, is this party-state not over yet? You're going to cross the river and tear down the bridge? Zhou Zhenghua's handsome face had a chill, and said, "I just asked Tangshan to leave it to the communist army?" Where are you going to! ”

"Don't stay, people's millions! The 87th Army is not scared to pee his pants? Lu Renjie lit a cigarette and said with a smile, "Look, once the smoke burns, it will definitely burn out, I will smoke two puffs and it will be gone, and no one can do anything about the building!" ”

"You're still laughing? I'm asking you, Tangshan was handed over to the communist army in such a good condition? Zhou Zhenghua was in a hurry, came over and grabbed the cigarette and took a puff.

"Sister, who do you say this Tangshan belongs to?" Lu Renjie is right.

"Now it belongs to the party-state, and in the future it will belong to the communist army." Zhou Zhenghua said.

"Whose is China?" Lu Renjie took out the cup, went to the tea and handed it to Zhou Zhenghua, saying, "Since ancient times, the dynasty has changed, and the only thing that has not been changed is the common people, so Tangshan belongs to the common people." You see that the stationmaster is in a hurry to go to Tianjin, but he is just getting a task to destroy Tangshan, and who will stay lurking. Do you think that the party-state, which doesn't even care how the people live in the future, will make a comeback? ”

Zhou Zhenghua stood up, walked to the window, looked into the distance and said, "You said that if you fight with the communist army, I won't be afraid of death, but then I really don't want to do anything in this city!" ”

The phone rang, Lu Renjie picked up the phone and said, "Which one?" I, Lu Renjie, Captain Wang! Okay, I'll go! Lu Renjie put down the phone and said, "In a while, I'll go to Jiumeizhai to pick up the wind for Head Wang, and you can drive back by yourself!" ”

"What kind of wind do you give him from a defeated general, and go to Jiumeizhai to catch the wind, aren't you afraid that I will tell Sister Ziwei?" Zhou Zhenghua jumped up, and there was an angry look on her handsome face, "I see that you haven't been honest lately, just eat, drink and have fun if you have nothing to do, Sister Ziwei is not happy, I have already seen it"

"That's it! This is all a man, Captain Wang, my good buddy, he ran out of the child and his wife was lost in Zunhua is worried! Lu Renjie patted Zhou Zhenghua on the shoulder and begged, "I'll accompany her to drink, don't do bad things, go back and let your sister Ziwei check, see if I'm still good, I'm hungry for you!" ”

Zhou Zhenghua blushed shyly, stretched out her hand to pull Lu Renjie's ear and said, "I'm hungry and won't look for you!" ”

Lu Renjie turned around and ran out......

In the elegant room of Jiumeizhai, Head Wang waited communicatively, and when Lu Renjie came in, he quickly got up and gave up his seat, "Stationmaster Lu, I'm in a hurry, how about it!" As he spoke, he poured wine for Lu Renjie.

Lu Renjie took a bite of braised elbow and said, "Don't be afraid to wait for good food, listen to me, the people on my side secretly contacted the cadres of the Communist Army, and they agreed to release your wife and children, but the conditions are a bit high!" ”

Commander Wang breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the wine glass, touched it with Lu Renjie, and said, "Brother, as long as you don't want my troops, you can say anything!" ”

Lu Renjie watched Commander Wang relax, his face sank, and said, "People just want you to pull the troops out, do you dare?" ”

Commander Wang shook his wine glass, and said in embarrassment, "I just want to pull, recently Commander Zhang has gone crazy, and the battalion company commander has changed several times, and it is not easy to do!" ”

Lu Renjie took out a cigarette and handed it over, and said, "Brother is really a person, if someone else hands you over to Commander Zhang, it won't be a bang!" ”

Head Wang was taken aback, and hurriedly took a sip of wine to suppress the shock: "I know that you are reliable, brother, or the friendship between our brothers in the past few years is not that I am blind!" Don't scare me all the time, even when my wife and children come back, I'm worried about where to send them! ”

"To Tianjin, to Beiping!" Lu Renjie said lightly.

"When you arrive in Tianjin, where will you go to Beiping?" Commander Wang said with a sad face and hatred: "Fuck, anyway, the communist army attacked Zunhua, I didn't fire a single shot, worthy of them, and there was no way to retreat when the time came, and I found a way to retreat by myself!" ”

"Brother is tough!" Lu Renjie stretched out his thumb.

"Okay, don't tease my brother, say, what are the conditions of the communist army?" Head Wang added food to Lu Renjie and asked.

"100 rifles and two machine (off) guns!" Lu Renjie gestured.

"Hey, what conditions should I have, this is easy to do, you tell them that no one needs to pick me up and send it over directly!" Commander Wang was happy, "Thank you, brother, this communist army didn't embarrass me!" I salute you! ”

"They said, you don't need to send it far, just hand it over in the city, you just need to get enough ammunition!" Lu Renjie said......

When he got home, Lu Renjie parked the jeep and knocked on the door, Zhu Xiaohua came over to open the door, and heard Lu Renjie's smell of wine and said, "Just now, Sister Zhenghua and Sister Ziwei sued you, saying that you went to Jiumeizhai." ”

Lu Renjie patted Zhu Xiaohua's shoulder and said, "She has nothing to do, now that she is going to become a woman, she will chew the root of her ears" Lu Renjie smiled and walked in.

walked to the middle courtyard and opened the curtain and went in, Hao Ziwei was listening to the radio, "The Central News Agency reported that the communist army is preparing to attack Jinan, and the national army will definitely face it head-on if it is firmly defended!" ”

Seeing Lu Renjie come in, Hao Ziwei turned the radio on and said, "I don't blush if I brag every day!" ”

Lu Renjie said: "Whatever! It won't blow for a few days! I'll take a look at my two precious sons first! Saying that, walking in the back room, the twin sons were sleeping soundly, Lu Renjie went over and plucked his face with his fingertips and said, "Tuan Tuan, round round, the sky is about to dawn!" ”

"The child is sleeping, you are making trouble again, come out!" Hao Ziwei took Lu Renjie's hand and came to the opposite room, sat on the bed and asked, "Just now, Zhenghua came to say that you went to Jiumeizhai, how are things going!" ”

"It's negotiated! Now the party-state is thinking of a way out, this head Wang wants to enlighten him, tomorrow, Zhigang will pick you up and tell him to accept the supplies tomorrow night according to the agreed location! Lu Renjie said.

"Okay, why don't you go to bed early, I used to accompany the child, I came back so late these days, and everyone said that if you have a child, you are a wife, it's not new!" Hao Ziwei's face flushed with red clouds, and she said softly, "Don't talk nonsense to Zhenghua, people are still big girls, ask me how to check you today!" Hao Ziwei laughed secretly.

Lu Renjie looked at the beautiful Hao Ziwei and hugged him and said, "Don't go yet, check me, and tell Zhou Zhenghua how to check it tomorrow!" As he spoke, he hugged Hao Ziwei and fell on the bed......
