At 7 o'clock in the morning on January 2, 1972, after our nightingale group had morning exercise, we had just finished breakfast and were taken to Mr. He Yongnan's office by the guards.

In Teacher He's office, thirteen of us lined up according to height and shortness to wait for Teacher He's lecture.

Teacher He said, "Alas! The situation has changed a bit! Zhou Wensheng and Kang Baoguo! The two of you are going to stay at the Secret Service Headquarters for an internship! I also received the order late last night! Now, please get out of the ranks! Go back to the dormitory and wait for the dispatch! ”

The two of them came out of the ranks, and then, walking out of Mr. He's office, the rest of us regrouped.

Teacher He said, "All members of the Nightingale group! Now, I appoint Song Zilong as the leader of the nightingale group and Song Zihu as the deputy leader of the nightingale group! Your mission remains the same! Today you are going to Yangcheng! Your identity in Yangcheng is that you are a pre-university student! We've paid for your tuition, accommodation, and food for one year there! The funds for your activities will be allocated to you by the headquarters, which is 500 yuan per month! We will immediately equip you with a set of radio stations and a codebook for communication with the Yangtze River! Usually, you receive instructions from the Yangtze River by listening to the fixed channel of the radio! Each person is equipped with weapons and equipment such as pistols and ***! A complete set of agent tools! Our colleagues in Yangcheng have already prepared these equipment for you! Now, I'm issuing you with a new student ID and a temporary work pass! In the future, you are students there! Can't mention the secret service school experience! I can only talk about the fact that the origin is an orphan! ”

Then, Mr. He sent a new student ID card to each of us, and I looked at the student ID card and temporary work card, and the names and photos on them were all my own! The temporary work permit is the identity of a probationary officer, stamped with a regular steel seal and unit number, etc., and this certificate can only be used when we are on a mission!

Teacher He said, "Okay! Now go to the next room and change into your casual clothes! There is also a luggage for you to go to Yangcheng! ”

A staff member who took us to the next room to change into civilian clothes, and we took back our military uniforms! They prepared a duffel bag for each of us, which contained two sets of spring and autumn coats and underwear, as well as daily necessities.

After changing clothes, I returned to Mr. He's office with my respective bags.

Teacher He took me alone to the secret room of his office to talk.

Teacher He said, "Zilong! This time, your internship task is very difficult! According to reliable information received by the headquarters, several enemy forces are lurking! Prepare for an attack on our vital sectors and bases on October 1st! This gang has been dormant for decades, and the network they have developed may have infiltrated a lot of departments! Therefore, you must find out their backbone, network members, specific course of action, and where equipment and supplies are hiding before they act! ”

I said, "Okay! Teacher! I understand! Can you provide some specifics about the enemy? ”

Teacher He said, "Alas! These guys have become completely civilian in identity and appearance! They're all veterans! So we never knew who they were! All we know is that one of their leaders is codenamed "Blue Cat"! This person should be in his fifties! However, we have absolutely no idea about the person's gender, occupation, etc.! ”

I said, "I see!" Who is our contact person in Yangcheng? ”

Teacher He said: "We are worried that the local organization network in Yangcheng may also be infiltrated by enemy elements!" So, for the sake of secrecy! We don't have a local liaison assigned to you! You have to work independently! Later, in case of emergency, you do my direct downline! My code name is "Dark Shadow" and yours is "Gray Shadow"! I'll give you a codebook film now! In the future, you can use this codebook to contact me individually! There is a contact me radio channel in the codebook! Do you understand? ”

I said, "Okay! I understand! ”

Mr. He handed me a microfilm, and I hid it in the heel of my leather shoe.

Then, Mr. He took out 2,000 RMB from the safe and handed it to me!

Teacher He said, "Zilong! This money was saved up when I was working overseas! You can keep it for the group! ”。

I said, "Teacher He! It's your personal possessions! We deserve it! We can't ask for it! ”

Teacher He said, "Take it!" Now, I don't need money! Remember that life is more important than money at all times! You put the money away! You're ready to fly to the airport! When you arrive in Yangcheng, there is a vehicle arranged by the headquarters to pick you up and go to the place where you stay! Your gear and supplies are already in the dorm! After that, you'll be on your own! Remember not to violate organizational principles and discipline! There are eyes in the dark at HQ! ”

After I hid the money, I followed Mr. He out of the secret room, and Mr. He took me, Song Xiaohu, Song Xiaobing, Song Zhehui, Song Guorong, Gu Shunmin, Ma Zhengyi, Xia Feiyan, Xue Mei, Li Xia, Qiao Yan and other 11 nightingale action team members, and we left Mr. He's office with their respective luggage.

Teacher He dropped us off on the school playground and we got on a military truck!

In this way, in the cold winter wind, we left this campus that we had worked hard for two years!

Teacher He stood in the cold wind and kept waving to us! We also kept waving to Mr. He with tears!

......

At 10 a.m., the truck dropped us off at a military airfield, where we got out of the car and were put straight onto a military plane. Through the communication of the maintenance staff, I learned that this is the capital of the Celestial Empire!

After the plane was ready, the plane took off and flew to Yangcheng!

On the plane, we sat together, we wanted to talk, and I suggested that everyone should not be silent and have a good rest.

......

At 4 p.m., we arrived at a military airport in Yangcheng. After we got off the plane, a civilian minibus picked us up!

The answering staff in the car talked to us, and the colleague who answered us was called "Lao Wang", a middle-aged man in his forties.

Lao Wang smiled and said, "Students! I'll send you to the place, and the mission will be done! We've got all your school supplies ready for you! Who is Song Zilong, your person in charge? ”

I said, "Colleague Wang! I'm Song Zilong! ”

He handed me a bank passbook and said, "Zilong! On the 5th of each month, the headquarters will remit funds to this account! The password for the account is six eights! Tomorrow you will change the password yourself! In life, you eat and live in the university! Your dorm is self-contained! No one will bother you! You don't have to go to class! Just focus on your own business! ”

After I collected my bank passbook, we didn't talk anymore.

......

At around 5 p.m., we arrived at a university teacher's apartment building, and Mr. Wang handed me a bunch of keys.

Lao Wang said: "Zilong! Your dormitory is on the third floor! It's a big suite! Enough for you to live! Everything you need is inside! Arrange it yourself! I'm going back to HQ to report! ”

In this way, after we got out of the car with our luggage, Lao Wang and the others drove away, and our 11 members went upstairs.

When we got to the room, we saw that it was very spacious, taking up a whole floor. There are two large bedrooms, each of which can accommodate five people, and I arranged for all the boys to live here; There was a smaller bedroom and three girls were accommodated! There is a large living room with a conference table with twelve chairs, as well as a sofa! Four offices, one has been converted into a darkroom; One has a radio station and other equipment, which is a telecommunications room; One has a few desks, and this is the team leader's office; One room has an archive, a safe, a desk, etc., and this is a confidential room!

There was also a large storage room where our weapons, ammunition, and agent tools were neatly stocked.

There are two rooms, a kitchen, a large balcony, in short, the facilities for work and life, electrical appliances, furniture and supplies are complete!

After everyone put away their luggage and did a little washing, I found everyone's dining cards in a drawer at a desk in the office, as well as payment cards for water, electricity and property management fees, etc., and I knew that in the future, we would have to go to the school's property management office to pay these fees.

After I gave everyone a meal card, we left the dormitory together and went to the school cafeteria for dinner.

After dinner, we immediately returned to the dormitory.

After entering the dormitory, I asked everyone to do a full inspection of the entire room to see if it was bugged and secretly photographed! After everyone checked, nothing was found!

Then, we will count, count, and store the equipment and supplies in the darkroom, radio equipment, weapons and equipment, ammunition, and special agent tools and equipment distributed to us by the headquarters.

I found the secret film of the nightingale's connection with the Yangtze River in a secret box in the radio box!

I asked Xue Mei, Li Xia and others to install and debug the radio station in the telecommunications room; Song Zihu and I went to the darkroom, installed and debugged all kinds of equipment there, and carried out photographic and editing of the code book.

After the codebook was made, I handed it over to Qiao Yan, a confidential officer, and we were going to send the first message to the headquarters. The content of the message I prepared: Yangtze River! The Nightingale is all in place! Please instruct!

After Qiao Yan's codebook was translated into the code of Arabic numerals, she took it and handed it to the telecommunications room to Xue Mei and Li Xia.

Soon, Qiao Yan translated the call back and gave it to me, and the content of the call back was: Nightingale act now! Yangtze!

After reading the message, I said, "Qiao Yan! In the future, the code book and messages must be managed in accordance with the confidentiality regulations! It should be locked in a safe, be sure to lock it! If it should be destroyed, it should be destroyed immediately! ”

Qiao Yan said: "Report to the team leader! I'm already doing that! I've got the codebook in my safe! I have already latched or destroyed the daily messages! Rest assured! ”

So, I returned the message to Qiao Yan, and I gathered everyone to open the first full membership of the Nightingale group at the conference table in the living room.

I said, "Comrades! Headquarters ordered us to start the operation immediately! This is our first fight out of school! Only succeed! Don't fail! Our task is very difficult and the secrecy is very strong! Our mission is to uncover and dismantle the enemy's spy network in Yangcheng! According to headquarters intelligence, these bastards are going to carry out an attack on our important departments and bases on October 1 of this year! Therefore, we must get to grips with them as soon as possible! Use the power of the headquarters to capture and destroy them! Confiscation and seizure of their supplies! ”。

Song Zihu said: "Alas! The headquarters is too good at jokes! Let's do that with such an important task! Why did so many veterans go to the headquarters! ”

I said, "Because this mission is so special!" Headquarters suspects that our organizational network has been infiltrated by the enemy! That's why we, the newbies, were sent to carry out this task on our own! We are not raw melons and eggs! It is an elite agent cultivated by the headquarters! We must believe in ourselves! We already have the ability and wisdom to overcome all difficulties and obstacles! In the future, who will say depressing words again! I'm going to lock him up! Until it is sent back to the headquarters for justice! ”

Gu Shunmin smiled and said, "Team leader! Ah Hu didn't know the situation, so he said so! Everyone is a child of workers and peasants, or an orphan! Everyone has this awareness! You can assign us specific tasks! I listen to you! ”

I said, "Now, we need to find out the clues and situation of the other party's network first!" Only in this way can we find their network and destroy them! This task is everyone's business, so let's give our opinion! ”

Ma Zhengyi said: "Team leader! Based on what you just said! These people are long-term lurkers! The local roots are already strong and hidden! I think that the province of openness of these people should be public officials, business owners, businessmen or small traders! Only these people can move and store such a large amount of dangerous materials, equipment and equipment! Of course, there must be people of them in customs, transportation, docks, warehouses, etc.! As long as we look secretly, we will definitely be able to find their clues! ”

Song Xiaobing smiled and said, "Brother Yi! It's a descendant of professors! To analyze the problem is to be thorough! I think we should conduct undercover research on public officials, businessmen, business owners, logistics personnel, etc. ”

I said, "Good! Starting tomorrow, we will be divided into three investigation teams, and I will be in charge of one group, taking Gu Shunming and Song Xiaobing to investigate the businessmen and business owners! Ma Zhengyi is in charge of a team, taking Xue Mei and Song Zhehui to conduct research on sensitive personnel in the public office! Song Zihu is in charge of a group, taking Xia Feiyan and Song Guorong to investigate the local customs, transportation, docks, warehouses, etc.! In the future, Li Xia and Qiao Yan will stay in the office for a long time! Three of us took turns sending people to the office on duty! ”

Song Zihu said: "Lone dragon! Yangcheng is not a small village and town! It is impossible for brothers to run on two legs in a big city! In addition, the clothes I brought were all from the north, and they were thick and impermeable! As soon as we go out, people know we're locals! How can this be done research! ”

I said, "Yes! We've got to do some preparations! Now, our fixed funding is 500 yuan per month! When I went out, Mr. He gave me 2,000 yuan! That's how we finance. In the future, Qiao Yan will be responsible for the management of our group's funds and establish a daily ledger! Wait a minute, I'll hand over the cash and bank passbook to Qiao Yan! Qiao Yan will go to the bank tomorrow to change the passbook password! In the future, everyone will find Qiao Yan to use the money! Tomorrow, Ma Zhengyi and Song Xiaobing will take a few people to sell 9 bicycles! Be sure to buy a good one, it works! The price of the bicycle is now 100 yuan per bike, and it will cost about 900 yuan here! Song Zihu and I are going to buy costumes and maps for everyone tomorrow! The budget is two sets per person, and it costs 40 yuan per person, for a total of 440 yuan! So we only have 500 yuan in cash! ”

Qiao Yan said: "Thank you for your trust!" To save money! Later, Li Xia and I went to the university cafeteria to bring back everyone's lunch and dinner! Grab more on-the-go foods like buns, steamed buns, and pancakes! We have a kettle here and fill it every day! This way, everyone can go out and do business every day! ”

I said, "Qiao Yan's proposal is very good!" In the future, everyone will hand over the dining card to Qiao Yan to be responsible for management! Tomorrow, we'll be ready as planned! ”

After the meeting, I handed over the cash and bank passbook to Qiao Yan, and after everyone washed up, they all went back to the room to rest.

......

At 9 o'clock in the morning on January 3, after everyone had breakfast and received cash from Qiao Yan, Ma Zhengyi and Song Xiaobing took Gu Shunmin, Xia Feiyan, Song Zhehui, Song Guorong and others out to find a place to buy bicycles.

Song Zihu and I took two large bags and went to find a place to buy clothes for everyone.

Song Zihu and I went to the wholesale clothing market near the university, and since February 15th is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sales here are very hot! The price is high, and it doesn't bargain! We calculated that it would cost at least 60 yuan for each person and 660 yuan for each person, and we only brought 450 yuan!

Song Zihu said: "Lone dragon! I don't think I need to buy such good clothes! I'll go to the second-hand clothing market to have a look! Things are definitely cheap there! Those things, washed and clean, are the same as new clothes! ”

I asked passers-by about the location of a thrift market, which was not far from the market, and we went there immediately.

However, when we got there, many of the shops selling second-hand clothing were not open. When we inquired, we learned that the locals did not buy old clothes before the Spring Festival, thinking that it was unlucky to wear old clothes during the Spring Festival, so these shops were closed!

The two of us turned back disappointed and prepared to go back to the dorm to get more money to buy new clothes.

When we walked on a small slope, we saw a lot of spring and autumn men's and women's clothes drying in the courtyard of a family!

Song Zihu smiled and said, "Lone Dragon! See if there's anything in the family's yard? We collected all the clothes that the family was drying! Our brothers and sisters have clothes to wear! And you can save a few hundred dollars! ”

I said, "What if there's someone inside?" ”

Song Zihu smiled and said, "Isn't this easy? Throw a few small stones into the yard! If there is no movement! Let's go over the wall! Stealing clothes is not a capital offense anyway! ”

From the outside, that family should be considered a rich family, a four-story wide western-style building, with front and back yards, their clothes are dried in the backyard, and the courtyard wall is not very high, we can climb over it casually!

We crept under the wall of the family's backyard and threw a few small stones into the yard! After a long time there was no movement in it, so we ran and grabbed the wall with our hands and climbed over the yard!

After falling into the yard, we saw that the yard was still not emotional, so the two of us immediately put their clothes drying on the iron wire into the bag!

Just as we were about to finish collecting the clothes, a middle-aged man in his thirties pointed a pistol at us and said, "Don't move!" Hands up! ”

At this moment, an old woman in her fifties came out of the house, dressed very well!

The old woman said, "Who are you?" How to run into my yard and steal clothes! ”

Song Zihu raised his hands and said with a smile: "Auntie! We are students in the physical education department of a nearby university! Love to go over the wall! When we came in, we saw that it was going to rain! So, help you pack your clothes! ”

The old woman smiled and said, "Yes! Today, we also met a kind person! Come and sit and talk. I don't think you're a bad person! ”

So, the two of us went into the living room with the two of them, and their interior decoration and decoration were very luxurious!

After we sat down, the man put away his gun and poured tea for both of us!

The old woman sat across from us, drinking tea and talking to us.

The old woman said, "Tell me about you." I'm a professor at this university! If you guys have a point! I can help you guys! ”

I said, "Auntie! We are pre-university students for this! We were sent here by an orphanage! We just came from the north yesterday! Because, all the clothes I brought were from the north! Doesn't work here! We were going to buy new clothes! However, we have too many people to have enough money! That's why I went to your old man's house to ask for a few clothes! ”

The old woman said, "How many of you are there?" Are they all orphans? ”

I said, "There are 11 of us, all orphans!" Three of them! Eight boys! ”

The old woman said, "Alas! What kind of world is this! How many orphans! I think you're pathetic! I'll provide you with a costume! Several of my children have grown up! Their old clothes are suitable for you! You two go and help me re-dry the clothes I just collected! We've got old clothes for you! ”

So, the man went to the yard with us and took the clothes out of our two bags to dry!

The man smiled and said, "Alas! Lucky for both of you! Our owner is a kind person! You've met a nobleman! My name is Li Guowei! From now on, you can just call me Viagra! In the future, if there is any difficulty to come here to find me! ”

Song Zihu smiled and said, "Thank you Brother Wei!" My name is Song Zihu! My brother's name is Song Zilong! We are children who grew up together in an orphanage! ”

Viagra said, "Okay! From now on, we'll be friends! I think you're pretty good at climbing over the wall! Where did you learn it? ”

Song Zihu said: "Alas! Taught by the masters on the rivers and lakes! It's all a little skill to make ends meet! We can't compare to Viagra you! ”

Viagra smiled and said, "yes! You can see that you are indeed newbies! In the future, don't do these things! If you are sent to the government, your future will be over! ”

Soon the old woman and a young woman prepared for us the men's and women's garments of eleven men and let us put them in bags.

The old woman said, "Song Zilong! Song Zihu! From now on, I'll treat you like my own children! My name is Lu Aiguo! Is an economics professor! In the future, you can go to my class! Alas, now, you have no income, and it is very difficult to read this book! Well, I'll introduce you to work! I have a friend who is in business! You can help him as a salesman! As long as you can make a business! He'll give you a lot of commissions! In this way, in the future, you will have to worry about running out of money! ”

Then, Professor Lu gave us 500 yuan and a business card, and the person on the business card was named Luo Juncai, the chairman of an import and export trading company!

Professor Lu said, "Children! It's almost the Chinese New Year! You can keep this money for the New Year! After the Spring Festival, you can go to Boss Luo! I'll say hello to him! Just try to help him work! ”

I said, "Mother Lu! Thank you so much! In the future, we will definitely be filial to your old man when we earn money! ”

Professor Lu smiled and said, "Oops! Zilong is such a good boy! In the future, Mom will definitely take good care of you! ”

In this way, we are blessed in disguise!

We left Professor Lu's house with 500 yuan in cash and two bags of clothing and returned to our dormitory.

When we returned to the dormitory, Ma Zhengyi, Song Xiaobing, Gu Shunmin, Xia Feiyan, Song Zhehui, Song Guorong and other six sold back nine brand-new bicycles and placed them neatly in the living room!

Song Xiaobing smiled and said, "Lone Dragon! Today, we were in good luck! As soon as I arrived at the market where bicycles were sold, I met manufacturers to engage in promotions! 80 yuan a car! No bicycle ticket! Also helped us with the bicycle entry permit on the spot! It's only 720 yuan together! It'll be ready for tomorrow! ”

After Song Zihu told everyone about the 500 yuan in cash and two big bags of clothing, everyone laughed and applauded excitedly!

We handed over the cash to Qiao Yan and let everyone try on the costumes, and everyone was very satisfied with the costumes! Professor Lu is indeed a rich man, and these clothes are only worn once or twice, and they look no different from new clothes!

And just like that, the preparations for the operation were ready!

We have integrated the dormitory as a student layout and camouflage, we have packaged and hidden the equipment and items in the darkroom, radio station, and utility room, and everything that does not match the identity of a student has been covered up by us!

I hid two codebook films in a hole in the wall between Xian's hands and covered them up!
