Chapter 25: Exploration
That night, Feng Tiandong quietly came to the southwest corner of Guhuai according to the direction provided by Huang Zhiquan, preparing to explore the secret passage in and out of Guhuai City.
Since ancient times, Guhuai City is a strategic place in North China, after the efforts of many generations of managers, the city wall of Guhuai is built very solid and complete, in the era of cold weapons, to Guhuai City, has played a very good role in protection.
Last year, when the devils attacked Guhuai, the national army also carried out a certain amount of resistance here, and the two sides had a short battle. The walls of Guhuai were heavily bombarded by devil planes and artillery, and many places in and outside the city collapsed.
After the Japanese army occupied Guhuai, some of the city walls that were seriously blown up were repaired, and some firepower points were built at the same time, but due to the relationship of time, there were still some slightly damaged places that were not repaired in time, but these places were either guarded by troops, or there were barracks outside the destroyed city walls.
In the southwest corner of Guhuai, although the city wall here has been damaged to a certain extent, there is a large area of ruins under the root of the city wall, but the overall form is still intact. The city walls can also be of great use after a simple restoration.
There were fixed sentry posts of the appeasement army on the corner gates and city walls.
In addition, about 100 meters away from the southwest corner of the city wall, there is a barracks of the Japanese devils, where a brigade of the 7th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army is stationed, and to the north is the barracks of the Japanese Baggage Brigade and the Barracks of the Cavalry Brigade.
Relying on the city walls, sentry posts and the Japanese barracks arranged outside the city, the devils still control the entry and exit of Guhuai City very effectively.
At this time, Feng Tiandong was wearing a dark tights, and according to Huang Zhiquan's instructions, he came to the southwest corner gate, and he was like a civet cat, interspersed with the ruins under the city wall in the northwest corner of Guhuai City.
After careful searching, Feng Tiandong soon saw a large stone marked at the bottom of the ruins.
Looking closely around the large stone, it was dark and there was no human figure, and the attention of the sentry on the city wall in the distance was not here. Feng Tiandong vigorously moved away from the big stone, and a hole appeared under the stone, which was not big enough to allow one person to pass through.
Feng Tiandong hid next to the entrance of the cave, waited quietly for a while, and saw that there was no movement in the cave, so he easily drilled in.
Entering the entrance of the cave, the inside suddenly opened up, this is a radius of about 20 meters, deep into the underground big hole, most of the side of the big hole has collapsed, Feng Tiandong walked forward along the side that did not collapse, and found a half-collapsed passage, which has been extended forward, and must be climbed to pass.
Feng Tiandong crawled along the passage, and could see that there were some fresh artificial traces in this passage, and some places that were originally impassable had been widened, and he could barely crawl through a person, presumably Huang Zhiquan and them had just done it.
It was extremely dark inside the passage, and he couldn't see anything, but because the situation was unknown, Feng Tiandong didn't dare to turn on the flashlight, so he could only grope his way forward. Fortunately, the distance was not very long, and soon I came to the end of the passage, and I could see the hole in front of me with faint starlight through.
Climbing to the entrance of the cave, Feng Tiandong slowly stretched his head out of the cave, outside was a ruin overgrown with grass, and there was silence around him, and he could see the sentinels of the devils in the distance.
Quietly crawling out of the passage, Feng Tiandong found that some camouflage had been made at the entrance of the cave and nearby, and it would be difficult to find it if he didn't get close to it from the outside and take a closer look.
This is really a natural passage in and out of the city, and even if you kill the devil, you can't imagine that there will be such a hidden place here.
After identifying the direction, Feng Tiandong continued to walk into the distance. Deftly avoided the devil patrol, bypassed the sentry, and quickly left Guhuai City from the junction of the two devil barracks.
Stopping at a dry drainage ditch outside the city, Feng Tiandong looked at the time and found that it took about fifteen minutes to get from the city to the outside of the city, including through the secret passage to hide the troops.
Lying on the edge of the ditch, Feng Tiandong quietly observed the law of the devil's patrol, carefully probing the location of the devil's sentry, he was preparing for the next action.
An hour later, after the observation, Feng Tiandong followed the passage of the Tibetan troops and quietly returned to Guhuai City.
Just when Feng Tiandong was surveying the Tibetan military passage, the banquet to welcome Zhang Yanqing to Guhuai City was being held in Yuhua Hotel.
Zhang Yanqing toasted the guests attending the banquet from table to table despite fatigue and smiled, thanking them for their support to the Xinmin Association.
With Zhang Yanqing's toast, the atmosphere of the dinner gradually warmed up, and when the wine had passed three rounds and five flavors, everyone let go, without the previous inhibitions, and began to line up to toast President Zhang.
The people who came to toast were all filled with relaxed smiles on their faces, and their mouths kept saying all kinds of blessings, which pushed the atmosphere of the dinner to a climax again.
Zhang Yanqing was proud, full of red light, and accepted everyone's toasts in an approachable manner, listening to all kinds of compliments that didn't require money.
The cups were staggered, and the lively banquet was dispersed.
Ma Tao accompanied Zhang Yanqing back to the room and waited for President Zhang to rest. The two agreed to go to the Xinmin Association tomorrow morning to meet the staff of the Xinmin Association, and then meet with Feng Tiandong to discuss.
Zhang Yanqing lives on the second floor of the hotel, near his room, are his entourage and bodyguards, and Ma Tao also lives on the second floor.
Which platoon of the appeasement army lived on the first floor. The room on the third floor has been vacated, and Diao Yifeng arranged for the police team to guard it day and night on the third floor.
Around the hotel, you can faintly see patrolling policemen and plainclothes agents of the detective team dressed as various characters.
At the entrance of the hotel, the appeasement army stood guard 24 hours a day.
It can be seen that the guards at Zhang Yanqing's residence can be said to be leaky.
After the dinner, Diao Yifeng arranged Zhang Yanqing's security matters and came to the special high school to report to Zhonggu Zao.
"Diao Sang, what's the situation?" Out of trust in Diao Yifeng, Nakatani gave Diao Yifeng full responsibility for Zhang Yanqing's security, and gave him the right to mobilize the detective team and part of the appeasement army.
Diao Yifeng recounted the situation after Zhang Yanqing came to Guhuai, and reported the protection of Yuhua Hotel.
"Taijun, Zhang Yanqing's security measures can be said to be foolproof." Diao Yifeng said confidently.
Listening to Diao Yifeng's arrangement, Zhongtani Zao breathed a sigh of relief: "Yexi! You must be careful, the military commander has been looking for an opportunity to assassinate Zhang Yanqing, and they must not be allowed to take advantage of the loophole in Guhuai. ”
In order to maintain the superficial article and reflect that the Xinmin Association is a civil organization, Zhang Yanqing inspected Guhuai, and an order came from Beiping that Zhang Yanqing's security must be cautious, not only to ensure his safety, but also not to use the strength of the Japanese army.
For Zhang Yanqing's safety, Zhonggu Zao has always been worried.
Hearing that the military commander had been looking for an opportunity to assassinate Zhang Yanqing, Diao Yifeng had a whim: "Taijun! Can we relax our protection of Zhang Yanqing and lure the military commander into taking the bait? ”
Zhonggu Zao glared at him, scolded Diao Yifeng and said, "Baga! This risk can't be taken, Zhang Yanqing is too important to have an accident. ”
"Taijun is angry, I'm talking about relaxing on the surface, but secretly strengthening protection, and maybe it can also lure out the assassin who assassinated Wang Baoliang's envoy last time." Diao Yifeng hurriedly explained.
After a pause, Diao Yifeng said more clearly: "The security of President Zhang's residence will no longer be changed, and when he goes to other places to operate, we can relax our vigilance on the surface and arrange a small number of people, but secretly strengthen our strength and set a trap for the assassins." ”
