But under what pretext should Xu Wenwu be contacted? The ambush of a Japanese truck on the main street of Longwangmiao may be a good excuse.

'Block A' thought for a long time, and finally decided that he had to make a move, so he sent a secret signal to Xu Wenwu to connect.

Another day later, he met Xu Wenwu in a private room in a teahouse. This is a place where he and Xu Wenwu have met for a long time.

As soon as he saw Xu Wenwu, 'Square A' pretended to be happy and said: "A few days ago, someone ambushed a Japanese truck in the city in broad daylight, and I heard that a few Japanese devils were killed, which is really relieving." ”

Xu Wenwu didn't expect the other party to talk about this as soon as he came up, so he had to nod, and then asked unhappily: "You asked to connect with me, is there anything important?" ”

'Square A' hurriedly replied: "Secretary Xu, I think that whether it is the comrades of our organization or someone else who ambushed the Japanese truck, this is a deed worthy of our propaganda among the common people. Through such propaganda, it will be conducive to strengthening the people's determination and confidence in resisting Japan. I originally wanted the comrades to immediately print a batch of leaflets and secretly distribute them in the city to propagate that we still had not given up and continued to resist Japan. But now I have found a bad phenomenon, that is, several downlines I contacted have completely lost contact with me, and even the underground printing factory has moved, so I want to meet with you and ask what the hell is going on? ”

When Xu Wenwu heard this, he always felt a little awkward in his heart, but he didn't know where to start. Because the other party has a good reason, and it is also from the perspective of work.

He had no choice but to explain: "Didn't I tell you that after the Chengxian Street traffic station was cracked by the Japanese last time, the superiors asked our underground party organization in Stone Town to go dormant and stop all activities?" Later, another incident occurred, and the 'Sparrow' comrades sent by their superiors to work in Stone Town were also unable to come to Stone Town because of leaked information. The superiors now suspect that there are moles within our underground party in Stone Town, so the subordinates you are responsible for contacting have all been urgently transferred, which is an emergency measure made by the organization. Not only you, but also the downlines in charge of other comrades in the executive committee were also urgently transferred. The underground printing plant also changed locations and ceased operations altogether, in accordance with organizational instructions. ”

'Block A' grumbled a little unwillingly, "But this is not a long-term solution, is it?" Of course, I don't want to ask if this mole has been found out now, but we have been stopping work like this, and it will delay things. For example, like now, has the original opportunity to publicize the anti-Japanese resistance just let it go? This is very detrimental to our cause. ”

"I said, why don't you understand, comrade? The first thing about underground work is safety, and without safety, all work is impossible. Yes, I admit that this state of affairs does affect my work somewhat, but the order given to me by my superiors is that until the mole is detected, all activities must be stopped, and all personnel must go to hibernation. According to the rules of the organization, we must obey the instructions of our superiors and not go our own way. I think you should be clear about this as a party member who has not been in the party for a short time. Xu Wenwu criticized the other party.

"But if we continue to sleep like this, without any work at all, what do we need to do in Stone Town? There's no point in us staying here, it's better to go to the front line and fight the Japanese devil Brother Ping, maybe we can kill a few Japanese devils. 'Block A' said with some indignation.

'Square A' said this to get some words out of Xu Wenwu's mouth, because Xu Wenwu was the leader of the entire underground party organization in Stone City, and he must know a lot about all kinds of information.

Although 'Block A' has only been in one-line contact with Xu Wenwu, and does not know what Xu Wenwu's cover identity is in Stone Town. But any news that Xu Wenwu can reveal at this time is very important to 'Square A', and the most important thing is the investigation news or conclusion about the mole.

In fact, as the leader of the underground party organization in Stone Town, he had already heard other comrades in the executive committee complain more than once in front of him, and today's comrade was already relatively late to complain.

Xu Wenwu was worried that this would affect the revolutionary enthusiasm and work enthusiasm of the comrades, so he had to change his tone and began to do ideological work with great difficulty: "I believe that you should be clear about the regulations of the Central Social Affairs Department on underground work in the occupied areas. One of these regulations is that if the objective conditions do not allow us to carry out our work smoothly, all the underground personnel should have the patience to continue to lurk and wait for the objective conditions to be ripe before carrying out the work. This rule is valid for both you and me, and we, as members of the Communist Party, must abide by the proper discipline, which is written into the oath we took when we joined the party. To be honest, I also have complaints about this decision of my superiors. But when I think that there is a deeply hidden traitor among us, and that once we start to move, there will be a constant stream of comrades who will be betrayed, and I have no resentment in my heart. Think of the comrades who have been lurking in Stone Town until now, and we as leaders have no right to ignore their safety! ”

After Xu Wenwu said such a big thing, seeing that the other party still didn't speak, he thought that the other party had not been able to turn the corner in his thoughts, so he continued: "Actually, I can understand your mood very well, because propaganda work is your own job. Your enthusiasm for work deserves encouragement and praise, but now there is a special situation of mole, so the superiors will suspend our work until the results of the investigation are not completed. Do you think your superiors aren't in a hurry? No, I can tell you that the deputy head of the Social Department of the Southern Bureau personally came to Stone Town, and he was also anxious about the fact that there were moles within our organization. But the investigation has not yet been concluded, and even I don't know what the final conclusion of the superiors is, so we have to continue to wait for the results of the investigation from the superiors to get rid of the evil traitor before we can carry out our work. ”

'Fang Pian A' finally heard some useful news, it turned out that the Communist Party was not completely sure that he was a traitor, and the transfer of those downlines he had contacted was only an emergency precaution, which means that he has not been exposed, at least for now.
