Chapter 39 Formation of a Special Vertical Night Operation

The county seat of Lin'an County. Ding's compound. The front yard is brightly lit.

Qian Wanlin bent over and said: "Because, because the Fang family has its own armed guards, as well as a martial arts hall, those people are all strong and strong in martial arts, and they have been dominating Lin'an County for many years, and their sound has shocked North China." No matter what the big or small thing is, as long as you hear that it is the Fang family, then no one dares to touch it or provoke it. ”

"Really? Huh! In this way, I will have to meet the Fang family for a while. No matter how powerful the opponent is, can he stop the samurai and guns of my Imperial Japanese Army? Captain Qian, we won't go to Fang's house tomorrow first, and we'll go back in a few days. You bring me all the information of the Fang family, I want to study it carefully and carefully, and then you can tell me all the situation of the Fang family. ”

"Yes. Taijun, I recruited them all, and Bao Taijun was satisfied. ”

Lin'an Town. Two carriages were parked in the backyard of the Yongan Inn. Inside the warehouse.

All the members of the special column stood in two rows in full armor and spirit, and Fang Jiren stood majestically in front of the team members, with a serious expression and a resolute tone to assign tasks:

"Comrades and brothers, tonight is the first combat mission of our special column since its establishment, and everyone must absolutely obey the command, strictly abide by the battlefield discipline, and only succeed and not fail! The first team followed me in to move things, the second team was in charge of guarding outside, and the third team stayed here to pack up and load the truck. ”

"Commander, where are we going? What are you moving? Fang Lusheng asked.

Fang Jiren grabbed the white and said: "Where did you come from so much nonsense, you ask so much, you will know it when you get to the place." Let's go. Francis led the crowd out of the storeroom.

Under the cover of night, Fang Jiren led the members of the first and second teams through the streets and alleys, and quietly came to the back wall of the puppet army ammunition depot compound. Silent waiting.

Not far away, a man walked over quietly and quickly, and stood and squatted down more than thirty meters away from Fang Jiren. Du'er, toot'er. Gently learned to cricket twice.

Du'er, toot'er. After two responses, Francis walked over and squatted down.

"Lao He, is everything arranged? When can we start moving? ”

He Zhongliang looked back and forth alertly, and whispered in Fang Jiren's ear:

"Young master, I've made all the arrangements, the guard squad is drinking and playing cards in the front yard, and there is only one guard in the backyard at this time, my fellow brother himself. After a while, you hear me cough twice, and you start moving. Young master, you have to remember, after entering the warehouse, there are twenty three-eight big gayers and five bundles, two boxes of bullets, two boxes of grenades, and one box of explosives on the right hand side, all of which have been reported damaged, and you must not touch anything else! If the devil knows, the dozen or so people in the guard squad will all die. Also, you have to do it in five minutes. I left, waiting to hear my signal. ”

"Okay, no problem, I'll listen to you. Lao He, you take this, and you can't lose it to you and your brother. Fang Jiren took out two gold bars from his pocket and stuffed them into He Zhongliang's hand.

"This? Thank you, young master. Get ready. He Zhongliang looked at Fang Jiren gratefully with the gold bar, patted him on the shoulder again, got up and left, and disappeared into the night.

The county seat of Lin'an County. In the living room of the west courtyard of the Ding family's compound. Ding Wenqian sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, and the black-backed sheepdog lay at his feet. The butler Fusheng stood with his hands down.

Uncle Gen walked into the living room and said respectfully, "Third master, haven't you rested yet?" ”

Ding Wenqian slowly opened his eyes, looked depressed and bowed his body and said:

"Resting? After tossing in the middle of the night, can I sleep? This little devil is really bad, and Qian Wanlin's grandson is really lacking in virtue. ”

Fusheng comforted with concern: "Third master, this is already the case, don't be angry anymore, it's not worth it to be angry with them." I'll talk about it when the young master comes back. ”

"Alas! What can he do when he comes back? Fusheng, there's nothing to do with you here, hurry up and rest. Old Gen, how did I do with the things I told you? ”

"Hey. I'm going to rest. Fusheng walked out of the living room and gently closed the door.

Uncle Lao Gen walked up to Ding Wenqian, rubbed his hands and said in embarrassment:

"Third master, I've been all over the county this day, and I haven't found the two men and two women you always said. None of us have ever seen what those people look like, and we don't know how old they are. ”

"Alas!" Ding Wenqian sighed heavily, and said with a heavy heart: "What can I do if I can't find someone?" How do you explain to others? Old root, you have to go out and find it tomorrow. ”

"Third master, now the Japanese soldiers are on strict alert, and the people of the detective team are searching around the county, and they will arrest suspicious people when they see them, and those people will be dangerous enough if they enter the county. Perhaps, they haven't arrived at the county seat yet? Perhaps, they got separated? ”

"Well, it's possible." Ding Wenqian got up and sat up straight, and said, "We came back with the Japanese, and we must have arrived in the county seat before them." Ah! A few days ago, the Japanese fought so fiercely with the Eighth Route Army, could they be wrapped in it and no longer there? ”

"Among the so many people arrested by the Japanese, the third master, will there be them?"

"Well, it's possible. Lao Gen, do you know where these people are locked up now? ”

"Third master, I heard from the people of the detective team that the county prison can't be closed, Qian Wanlin came up with the idea to lock up more than 100 people in the compound of the Fang family's grain depot, and the guards are tight, I heard that they have to be next to each other, and they have to be peeled off if they don't die."

"Alas!" Ding Wenqian sighed worriedly and said, "I hope they aren't here." Old roots, no matter what, we still have to find it. Tomorrow, you let the bolt and Xiaoshun go out of the south gate of the county seat and go south, from the county seat to Lin'an Town and Shengcang Village to look for it. Then let Dafeng and Ping'er go to the south gate and west gate of the county seat separately to guard and look for them. ”

"Third master, they haven't seen those people, how can they find them?"

Ding Wenqian said helplessly: "Yes, how to find it?" If Ru Xuan is here, maybe it will be easier, I wonder how he is now? Where are the people now? ”

The moon is dark and the stars are sparse, the breeze is blowing, and the land is silent. On the avenue in the middle of the cornfield that could not be seen at a glance, Changgui drove the carriage, and Ding Ruxuan lay on the carriage.

"Young master, there seems to be someone in the cornfield." After speaking, Changgui pulled out the shell gun from his waist and turned on the nose.

Ding Ruxuan turned over and sat up, took out two grenades and searched vigilantly.

"Stop!" With a shout, seven or eight men rushed out of the cornfield and ran onto the highway to stop the carriage. Pull the bolt with a bang, a bang. "Don't move!"

Yongan Town. Inside the compound of the puppet army ammunition depot. He Zhongliang walked through the front yard to the back yard. Walking to the door of the backyard, He Zhongliang whispered: "Lao Ji, Lao Ji, are you there?" ”

Half of the door opened, Lao Ji walked out, and when he saw that it was He Zhongliang, he asked anxiously:

"Lao He, why did you come? I'm in a hurry. Have you lent me any money? If my mother's disease is not cured, I am afraid it will not work. As he spoke, he pulled He Zhongliang and was about to go to the backyard.

"Don't, don't, I can't go in. The backyard is a storehouse, and it is not appropriate for me to go in. Let's go outside, I've brought you the money. Cough, cough, cough. He Zhongliang coughed as he casually closed the backyard door. Then he coughed twice.

He Zhongliang put his arm around Lao Ji's shoulders and walked to a secluded place in the front yard and looked around. He Zhongliang took out a gold bar from his trouser pocket and put it in Lao Ji's hand, and whispered:

"You take this for your mother's medical treatment, put it away quickly. I will ask my eldest brother to write a letter again, you take the letter to send your mother to the county seat, go to the Fang family's Jishi Pharmacy, go tomorrow, hurry up and see the disease, don't delay any longer. ”

Lao Jihu looked at He Zhongliang suspiciously: "This? You? You ......"

Outside the backyard wall of the ammunition depot. Fang Jiren lowered his voice and ordered: "Captain Fang, you take a team and follow me in; Captain Zhou, you take the second team here to respond, and send two more people to guard at a distance of 200 meters from east to west. The action should be fast and light, not to make a little noise, action. ”

Fang Jiren led a team of members to climb over the high wall one by one to enter the courtyard, and tiptoed to the door of the ammunition depot. Fang Jiren gently opened half of the door, and through the faint light in the ammunition depot, he directed the team members to carry weapons and ammunition. Then, the crowd climbed out of the wall and disappeared silently into the night.

Shuihe Village. Village office. The Eighth Route Army supplemented the regimental headquarters in the courtyard.

In a secluded corner of the courtyard in the dark, the political commissar and the reconnaissance platoon commander Cao Yong sat on a stone bench and talked in a low voice.

Political commissar: "Platoon Commander Cao, you are an old scout, and now there is an important task entrusted to you." There are two letters, one is from our Eighth Route Army Supplementary Regiment, and the other is from the Japanese prisoner Sakamoto Shaosa. The regiment decided to send you to the headquarters of the Japanese army in the county seat of Lin'an County, and hand it over to the supreme commander of the Japanese army, Captain Nakagawa Eiichi, in person. ”

"Yes! I promise to complete the task. Platoon Commander Cao agreed loudly.

"Platoon Commander Cao, you should know that this mission is very difficult and dangerous, and you can't bring too many people with you. You have to be mentally prepared, especially for difficulties and dangers. You can put forward any ideas and requests, and I will try my best to accommodate you. ”

"Political commissar, I think, I can just go to the county seat alone to deliver the letter. Other? I don't have any other thoughts or requests. When do I depart? ”

"This mission is different from the past, there is no one to cooperate with the support, no one to cover to receive you, because our underground party organization in Lin'an County has been seriously damaged by the enemy, and the new liaison station has not yet been built, and you are completely alone in the tiger's den and into the wolf's den, so you have to think more about the difficulties and dangers, and you may even ......"

"Maybe you won't come back, maybe it'll be glorious, right? Commissar. ”

"yes. I hope it won't be like this, but you have to be mentally prepared. Change into casual clothes and leave tomorrow morning. I wish you a speedy completion of your mission and a triumphant victory. ”

Platoon Commander Cao's eyes were blazing, and he said with a resolute expression: "No! Political commissar, I just want to wear the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, and I will not bring a single shot or bullet to show the military prestige of the Eighth Route Army. ”

The commissar nodded and said commendatorily, "Well, good! Although you are alone, you are like a million male soldiers, our Eighth Route Army is to have such courage and heroism, why worry about the undefeated Japanese invaders! ”
