Chapter 0289 - Emergency Call
Feng Chen, who returned to the basement of the library, had been worried about the CCP delegation in Xi'an, and the enraged Wang Yizhe's subordinates would have unimaginable consequences once they lost their minds. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
What to do?
Go to Sorge for help?
No, Sorge did not have a direct communication code with the Chinese Communists, and if he wanted to make contact, he had to circulate through the radio stations of the Comintern or the Far Eastern Intelligence Bureau, so that the information would reach the Chinese delegation, and I don't know when it would be.
Maybe by then, it's too late.
It seems that Sorge's method of turning to Sorge is very impractical.
Feng Chen pondered, gently stroking the radio station with his right hand, thinking to himself, let's take a risk!
After making a decision, Feng Chen immediately adjusted the radio frequency to the channel he was familiar with, and sent out a series of short messages very skillfully.
……
In Xi'an, where the Chinese Communist delegation is stationed, the telegraph receiver was debugging the radio station, and when the radio station inadvertently tuned to a frequency that was commonly used before, he suddenly received a strange telegram from Tokyo.
Strange to say, it is really strange, the receiver is very clear that the frequency and password of this message were five years ago, and even five years ago they were rarely used, and now they are not used, and this code, which has fallen behind, is now easy to decipher.
The receiver quickly translated the message, which was only six words: "The cuttlefish calls the sea!" ”
Not daring to slack off, the receiver immediately took the telegram and sent it to Li Kenong.
"Chief, just now when I was debugging the radio, I received a strange message from Tokyo, Japan." The receiver reported.
"You sent it with our password?" Li Kenong, who was busy reading the documents, raised his head, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and asked very casually.
"Yes! But the password used was five years ago. The newspaper receiver said.
"Oh? Is it translated? Li Kenong stood up and asked.
"It's translated, it's only six words." The receiver handed the telegram to Li Kenong.
"The cuttlefish calls the sea!"
Seeing these words, Li Kenong's spirit was shocked, although he didn't know who this "cuttlefish" was, but he knew very well in his heart that the intelligence of this "cuttlefish" had saved the Red Army five years ago when the channel was transferred to the army.
Li Kenong immediately got up and went to report to Vice Chairman Zhou with a telegram.
Vice Chairman Zhou, together with several other members of the delegation, is studying how to deal with the murder of Wang Yizhe and how to control the situation and prevent it from escalating.
Seeing Li Kenong coming in, Vice Chairman Zhou asked, "Kenong, is there something wrong?" ”
"Yes, I received a call from Tokyo, Japan, and the cuttlefish called the sea, using the same password we used five years ago." Li Kenong reported succinctly.
"Oh? Cuttlefish call? Let me see! Vice Chairman Zhou excitedly took the telegram handed over by Li Kenong and quickly read it.
"Kenon, have our enemies deciphered this set of codes?" Vice Chairman Zhou glanced at Li Kenong and asked.
"This set of passwords is rarely used, and so far no enemy has been found to decipher it, but if this set of codes continues to be used now, it is easy for the enemy to decipher." Li Kenong replied.
"Without particularly important information, Comrade Cuttlefish will not take this risk!"
Vice Chairman Zhou frowned, and his mood seemed to be very contradictory, if he contacted the cuttlefish, once the message was deciphered, Comrade Cuttlefish would be in danger of being exposed, but if he did not contact, he would not be able to do so, and the cuttlefish would definitely have important information.
"Kenong, call back Comrade Cuttlefish immediately, the sea receives it, please call back, the call back can't take more than a minute." Vice Chairman Zhou finally made a decision.
……
After Feng Chen sent out the string of messages, he sat anxiously in front of the radio and waited, he knew very well in his heart that when this set of codes five years ago had already passed, he also knew in his heart that this set of passwords, with the current technology, was easy to decipher.
But Feng Chen thought that for the safety of Vice Chairman Zhou and the others, it was worth taking this risk.
Feng Chen was still a little worried, although the message was sent, could it be received over there?
It's been five years, and this frequency is definitely out of use, so try your luck.
While Feng Chen was thinking wildly, the radio indicator began to flash, Feng Chen was excited, immediately put on headphones, and began to receive the message.
The call back is very short: "The sea receives, please call back, and the power generation time is controlled within one minute." ”
Feng Chen suppressed his excitement and immediately called back, and the call back was also very short: "The Japanese spies are spreading rumors in Xi'an City, and the Northeast Army wants to harm our delegation!" ”
……
Xi'an, where the CPC delegation is located, Li Kenong hurriedly came to Vice Chairman Zhou with a telegram.
"Vice Chairman Zhou, look." Li Kenong handed the translated message to Vice Chairman Zhou.
"It seems that as we analyzed, the Japanese are really making waves inside!" Vice Chairman Zhou looked at the message and said.
"Vice Chairman Zhou, the situation is critical, and our station must be transferred immediately." Li Kenong suggested.
The situation is indeed very serious, Vice Chairman Zhou nodded, glanced around at the members of the delegation sitting in the room, and immediately made a decision:
"Most of the comrades in the delegation were transferred to the Red Army garrison in Yunyang Town for the time being, and a small number of comrades stayed behind to continue to insist on doing a good job in the work of the Northeast Army and do their best to maintain the unity of the Trinity."
As for the question of who to keep, most comrades believed that Vice Chairman Zhou had a big goal and was in the most dangerous situation.
"Anyone can stay, but Vice Chairman Zhou can't stay." Li Kenong said.
"I'll stay!" An Zhida got up and looked at Vice Chairman Zhou and pleaded.
After the Xi'an Incident, Anzhida accompanied Song Ziwen's brothers and sisters to Xi'an by plane, and after arriving in Xi'an, he was immediately incorporated into the CPC delegation and was responsible for negotiations with Nanjing.
Vice Chairman Zhou did not answer, but decisively announced the emergency response plan:
1. The delegation quickly withdrew to the Red Army garrison in Yunyang Town to stand by;
Second, I and Chief of Staff Ye and other comrades stayed behind to continue our work;
3. Before the delegation retreated, all the members went to Fan Lane to mourn Commander Wang Yizhe.
Vice Chairman Zhou's decision was timely and completely correct, but it came at great risk, especially since he personally went out to mourn Commander Wang Yizhe.
You must know that since Sun Mingjiu's pistol company killed Wang Yizhe, Ge Yanchun, the commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the 105th Division of the Northeast Army, has taken over Wang Yizhe's mansion and driven away Sun Mingjiu's soldiers.
The rumors are all flying all over the sky that the Three Musketeers and the members of the Anti-Japanese Comrades Association are all members of the Communist Party, so they believe that the CCP is the backstage of the murderers of Wang Yizhe.
As the top leader of the delegation, Vice Chairman Zhou, is not this tantamount to throwing himself into the net?
But Vice Chairman Zhou didn't care much, and he insisted on personally leading a team to mourn General Wang Yizhe.
Seeing that Vice Chairman Zhou had already decided, An Zhida discussed with Li Kenong on the side, and An Zhida stepped forward to report: "Vice Chairman Zhou, I suggest that Comrade Xiao Feng's spy company be secretly transferred from Yunyang Town, one is responsible for the safety of the comrades who remained, and the other is secretly investigating the Japanese spy in the city. ”
"Okay, I agree with your suggestion, let Xiao Feng personally bring a platoon of troops and change all of them into plain clothes into the city." Vice Chairman Zhou nodded in agreement.
Everything was arranged, and it was the afternoon of February 2, more than 3 hours after Wang Yizhe was killed.
At this time, the entire city of Xi'an was full of bloody rumors.
February 2 was the coldest and gloomiest day in Xi'an since the beginning of winter.
There was an atmosphere of terror in the city, the streets were sparsely populated, the branches of the trees on the roadside were depressed, and the cold wind was like a needle and a bayonet, as if to drive all the wandering spirits and wild ghosts into the city, leaving only the jackdaws wailing in despair, declaring desolation.
Dressed in a gray cotton jacket and with a black gauze wrapped around his left arm, Vice Chairman Zhou led all the members of the CPC delegation to carry a wreath to pay tribute to Captain Wang Yizhe, and walked slowly towards Wang Yizhe's house in Fan Lane Hutong, Nanyuanmen.
The soldiers of the 3rd Regiment of the 105th Division, who controlled Wang Yizhe's Mansion, all looked at each other angrily, armed with guns and knives, and were murderous, expressing strong hostility to the CCP delegation because of misunderstandings.
The CPC delegation was the first team to come to offer condolences after General Wang Yizhe was killed.
Wang Yizhe's widow, Mrs. Wang, although she was extremely sad and indignant, she did not want to see that the funeral of her husband, who died tragically, could not be carried out again due to a bloody massacre.
She stepped forward to stop her brother and the impulse of the officers and soldiers in the Northeast to take revenge, and sent someone to bring the CCP delegation led by Vice Chairman Zhou into the general's palace.
