The scene of that day flashed in front of Ling Yunpeng's eyes again, and he remembered every detail clearly.

Zhao Jinwen took Ling Yunpeng to a very secret small western-style building on Fukaisen Road in Shanghai, and then smiled mysteriously at him: "There is an important person who wants to see you later." ”

"Who wants to see me?" Ling Yunpeng looked at Zhao Jinwen puzzled.

"You'll find out later." Zhao Jinwen looked at Ling Yunpeng and smiled but did not answer.

Ling Yunpeng waited anxiously for two hours, and when he was about to fall asleep, suddenly the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man of medium height, wearing a tunic walked in, and then the door was closed, and two attendants stood outside the door and waited.

As soon as Zhao Jinwen saw someone coming, he immediately bounced up from the sofa: "Bureau, you're here." ”

The man took out a handkerchief from his trouser pocket, wiped his nose, and nodded at Zhao Jinwen: "Jinwen, I've kept you waiting." ”

"Yes, Yun Peng, come and see Director Dai."

Ling Yunpeng didn't expect that it was Dai Yunong who wanted to see him, and he was a little scared, so he hurriedly stood up and gave a military salute: "Bureau, Ling Yunpeng, the commander of the third battalion of the 583rd Regiment of the 98th Division of the 18th Army." ”

"Okay, relax, relax, this is not the troops." Director Dai smiled, turned his head and asked Zhao Jinwen, "Did you tell him?" ”

"Not yet, I want the bureau to tell him personally."

Director Dai nodded: "Well, it's okay, it's okay." ”

Director Dai motioned for Ling Yunpeng to sit down, then walked over, sat beside Ling Yunpeng, and patted his hand: "Yunpeng, your situation has already been reported to me, and he said that you are the best comprehensive skill among the students he has taught, and you have once won the top spot in various skill competitions of the Nanjing Army Officer Academy, and you are a rare talent, so you are specially recommended to me." And from what we have observed you over the years, we believe that you are still loyal to the party-state. ”

"Thank you for the compliment."

It seems that Director Dai still has a grasp of Ling Yunpeng's situation, Ling Yunpeng is a student of the 10th Infantry Section of Huangpu, the school system is three years, in these three years his various courses are among the best, originally graduated after three years, divided into various units, but not long before graduation, he and more than 20 other students were selected by Zhao Jinwen to participate in an intensive class, a common point of these students is that they have a calm personality, careful thinking, high psychological quality, and strong individual combat ability, Zhao Jinwen gathered them together, specializing in learning some such as tracking, anti-tracking, eavesdropping, sending and receiving telegrams, setting secrets, decryption, assassination and other agent skills, Ling Yunpeng is the most top-notch among the more than 20 people.

The predecessor of the military command was called the special service department of the Lixing Society, which was an agency specializing in espionage work, and then planned to combine the secret service of the Lixing Society with the secret service headquarters, that is, the secret investigation of the military committee and the establishment of the Statistical Survey Bureau of the Military Commission of the National Government, which is also known as the military command, at that time the military command was in preparation, Director Dai needed to recruit some professionals engaged in secret service, and recruited a group of people from the army and from the academy, and the students of the Whampoa Department were the group he was most optimistic about.

After half a year, unexpectedly, China and Japan started a full-scale war, and the war broke out for a while, seeing that the other cadets of the military academy went to the front line one by one and made meritorious contributions, but these more than 20 people were very depressed and lost, and many people in the military command at that time were sent to the front line to fight, and various units were expanding their troops, eager to recruit new soldiers, and the Whampoa students were undoubtedly the most sought-after, so for a time these more than 20 people were successively divided by the front-line troops. Ling Yunpeng was recruited to the 583rd Regiment of the 98th Division of Chen Cheng's 18th Army, participated in the Battle of Songhu, and later served as the commander of the third battalion of the regiment.

Half a year ago in an encounter with the Japanese army, Ling Yunpeng was wounded in the abdomen, fortunately, with his skills, he escaped from the capture of the Japanese invaders, and was later rescued by his scattered companions and sent to a clinic, the clinic doctor named Yang Jingcheng, Yang Jingcheng operated on him and took out the bullet. It didn't take long for Zhao Jinwen to learn that he was taken away from the clinic and arranged for him to recuperate in a private house until he basically recovered.

"Yun Peng, you are Jinwen's favorite apprentice, and you are also the principal's protégé, you don't have to go back to the Eighteenth Army after you recover from your injury this time, I have already said hello to your commander, soft grinding and hard bubbles, he finally endured the pain of cutting love, from now on, you are a member of my Dai Yunong's love general."

Ling Yunpeng was stunned, he was unprepared and suddenly transferred from the front-line troops to the military command department, although Zhao Jinwen intended to train him to be the backbone of the military command, but because of the sudden war, his original life trajectory was changed, but after going around and around, Ling Yunpeng still returned to the military command department. A soldier's duty is to obey orders, and Ling Yunpeng also knew that he didn't have the initiative to stay or go, so he accepted it calmly: "Thank you for the love of the bureau." “

"Actually, I came to you today because I have a difficult task for you to complete, or more precisely, a mission." Director Dai's face gradually became serious: "You know, now the Japanese invaders are very crazy, attacking the city, the momentum is very fierce, and the strength of the two armies on the frontal battlefield is very different, so we have to find another way to win by surprise, I decided to set up a special team behind the enemy, we want to surprise the enemy to deal a heavy blow, after listening to my plan, the commission even said a few wonderful words, so I decided to name this special team as the wonderful shadow special team, and you will be the captain of this special team." ”

Ling Yunpeng didn't expect Director Dai to assign him such a task that was completely unexpected, but at the same time, he felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavy and obligatory.

Ling Yunpeng stood up, his expression was grim, and his eyes were blazing: "Thank you for the weight and love of the bureau, Yun Peng will not hesitate to go to the soup, and he will definitely do his best to complete all tasks." ”

"Well, yes, yes." Director Dai looked at Ling Yunpeng approvingly, and then gave Zhao Jinwen a look, and Zhao Jinwen took out a piece of paper from his briefcase and handed it to Director Dai.

Director Dai took it, cleared his throat, and read it word by word: "In the letter of appointment, Comrade Ling Yunpeng is hereby appointed as the leader of the special task force of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission of the National Government, and confers the rank of major. ”

Ling Yunpeng gave a military salute to Director Dai and took the letter of appointment: "Yunpeng must live up to his mission." Live up to the cultivation of the principal and live up to the weight of the bureau. ”

"Your appointment has been archived, you should destroy this appointment letter after you read it, otherwise it will cause you trouble if it falls into the hands of the Japanese." Director Dai reminded Ling Yunpeng: "Also, for the sake of safety, we have also destroyed your previous resume information. We've given you a new resume. ”

"Understood."

Zhao Jinwen walked over: "Yun Peng, in the future, I will have a one-line contact with you, and all tasks will be conveyed to you through me." We have prepared several sets of contact methods, whether it is through the radio, or through telephone, dead mail and other channels, and I will explain it to you in a moment. ”

"Understood."

"I have also found a place for you to settle down, it is a private clinic located at No. 100 Pétain Road, this clinic has two floors, the ground floor is the consultation room, the operating room, the observation room, the doctors and nurses are their own people, you know, Yang Jingcheng and his wife. They live in the clinic's backyard. The second floor is the headquarters for your squad's activities. ”

Then Zhao Jinwen handed over a black leather case placed in the corner of the room to Ling Yunpeng: "There are some tools such as a radio, a code book, a miniature camera, a ciphertext potion, and a Browning pistol and some bullets. The call sign I use to communicate with you is written in ciphercopy on the last page of the codebook. Your code name is Miaoyu. ”
