On February 7, 1939, the restaurant where Zhou Lin stayed in Phoenix.

"Madame, what do you need for the evening?" The owner of the restaurant came to the door and asked politely.

Xiangjun took the note handed over by the boss: "You wait outside the door, I'll ask my husband and I'll call you back." ”

The boss withdrew and went to another room to chat with the people from the same group.

Xiangjun entered the room and handed the note to Zhou Lin.

This is a message from the Central Committee. Because of the existence of the Phoenix Mountain Column, the central government knew Zhou Lin's words and deeds, so the central government asked Zhou Lin about the arrangements for the Tiger Roaring Column.

"I will ask Chongqing to legalize the Tiger Roar Column and make it an armed force. Strive to transform a contingent of bandits into an armed force of our party in about three years. After Zhou Lin answered, he left the room and went to Xiao Lin's room.

And Xiangjun took a piece of paper, wrote down a few dishes, called the boss over, and put the menu

Hand it to the restaurant owner. At the same time, Zhou Lin's words were conveyed to the restaurant owner as they were.

"Okay! I'll order these dishes right away. "The owner of the restaurant left the room.

When Zhou Lin came to Xiao Lin's room, he ran into Nakasa bringing someone over.

Two people, one is the captain of the Japanese army who went to Tongren, and the other is Liu Jianwei's person.

Taking a fancy to Zuo's appearance, Zhou Lin knew that things were done.

Liu Jianwei's man untied a belt bag from his body and put it on the table.

"Young master, a total of 150,000 taels, all here."

Zhou Lin nodded, took out a thousand oceans from a stack of ocean promissory notes, and handed them to the two of them, five hundred each. He took out another 500 oceans promissory note: "Take it and give it to the people who go to Tongren, so that everyone can be happy." ”

The two ran out with the promissory notes, and Zhou Lin divided the promissory notes into three piles, each with 49,500 oceans: "Divide the spoils!" If you don't want it, keep it for the chief. ”

"Who said that?" The two of them grabbed the promissory note in a bunch.

Zhou Lin took the rest of the pile: "It's time for you to treat you today." Don't ask me every day. ”

Xiao Lin pointed to Zhongzuo: "He's a newcomer, is he a newcomer, he invites him." ”

Nakasa snatched the belt bag, put the ticket in and put it away, and tied it around his waist. Picked up a promissory note of fifty oceans specially left: "It can only be so much, what do you want to eat, you go and order." ”

Zhou Lin and Xiao Lin pointed at him together and pressed down on their thumbs.

"Zhou Linjun, there are still a lot of bandits in Fenghuang County, we can suppress the bandits a few more times." Nakasa ignored Zhou Lin and Kobayashi's movements.

Xiao Lin also looked at Zhou Lin, waiting for his reply.

Zhou Lin took the cigarette handed by Xiao Lin and lit it and asked, "If you were a bandit from other mountains, what would you do after hearing about Tiger Roaring Mountain?" ”

"I've run away a long time ago! Is it possible to wait for others to come and kill people and rob money? Kobayashi said.

"That's it, in those cottages now, there are no bandits, and there are no copper horns. Why should we run around and be empty? Zhou Lin spit out a puff of cigarette and said.

Kobayashi and Nakasa both nodded, since this is the case, it is better to live in Phoenix.

At this time, Xiangjun ran over and called Zhou Lin to go back, because of the people sent out, someone began to come back.

As soon as Zhou Lin heard that someone was back, he walked quickly to his room.

Since the day before yesterday, Zhou Lin arranged for someone to go to the wooden house that he had agreed upon. Because it has been fifteen days since Zhou Lin released them, someone should have returned.

For 24 hours, there were people living in the wooden house, and I didn't expect someone to finally come back today.

When Zhou Lin saw the person who came back, he almost couldn't recognize him.

"How did you get it like this?" Zhou Lin asked.

"Less than a day after I left, I ran into a gang of bandits, and their bodies were searched clean, there was no way, I pretended to be a beggar and went to the target place, where I begged for food for seven days." Said the man who came back.

Zhou Lin said to the outside team members around him: "Seeing that he is bitter enough, arrange for him to eat and take a bath first, and then come to see me after he is cleaned." ”

After the others left, Zhou Lin said to Xiao Lin: "It's still good to beg for food as a cover." ”

Xiao Lin smiled and said, "Why don't you go and experience it too?" ”

Zhou Lin said: "Cut! Where can I get money when I go out? Still need to beg for food? ”

After waiting for five days, sixty-eight of the eighty-two men sent out returned. Fourteen people did not return, and it is not known whether they were captured or killed.

Those who did not come back were all sent to important military bases, Zhou Lin knew that they were more than lucky, but this was also fate, and there were seven other people who were sent to important military bases, but they did not die and came back.

Those who came back were placed in dormitories at the police station.

Originally, when the police chief left, he took more than 50 policemen with him, plus more than 20 policemen who escaped, and it happened that there was a vacant shop in the police station, and 68 people could live in it.

After Zhou Lin received their situation report, he found that they were all running accounts, and there were not many valuable things, too, after all, they were on a mission for the first time, and the places they went to were not important places, so how could there be any valuable information?

Zhou Lin encouraged them and asked Xiao Lin to comment on their work.

Then, Zhou Lin gathered their information and asked the operator to send it to Yamada. It took three operators to take turns for a day before summarizing the information of the sixty-eight people and sending it to Mingzhu.

Mingzhu's military police headquarters, after Yamada received the information sent by Zhou Lin, he read it very carefully from beginning to end.

Unexpectedly, he discovered a piece of information worthy of attention, so he invited the head of Ozaki and Mei Agency, and the three of them started working again.

This intelligence, which was followed by the spy generals of the three Japanese troops, was the news that the airfield built by the Chinese military in Zhijiang, Huaihua, had been completed.

Zhijiang River, located in the western border of Hunan, between the eastern edge of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the western vein of Xuefeng Mountain, is the channel leading to the southwestern provinces, known as the "gateway of Yunnan and Guizhou, the throat of all Chu".

Due to its unique geographical location, it has always been a battleground for soldiers.

Whether before or after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Nationalist Government has always regarded Zhijiang as a military town.

In 1934, the famous military strategist Jiang Baili strongly advocated that "after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese air base should be located in Kunming, Yunnan, and the wartime base camp should be located in the Zhijiang and Hongjiang areas of Xiangxi".

After the Lugou Bridge Incident in July 1937, the old man moved his capital from Nanjing to Chongqing, and felt that Zhijiang, the "throat of all Chu", had an important military position in defending the rear of the southwest.

So, the old man ordered the construction of an airport in Zhijiang, Xiangxi, which is the "throat of all Chu".

Zhijiang Airport is located one kilometer away from the eastern suburbs of Zhijiang County, which was originally an open and low hilly area. And because in ancient times, there were many nanmu on the small mountain, so it was also called nanmuping.

In January 1939, the construction of the airport was completed. In addition to completing the construction of 2,000 acres of apron and 1,600 meters of runway, engineering facilities such as navigation stations, control towers, and evacuation roads have also been built.

The people who went to reconnoiter the airport brought back the news: There is now a regiment of national troops guarding the airport, and although it is an empty airport, the security measures are very effective.

The people from the outside group still followed the group of people who delivered food to the outskirts of the airport.

Although he couldn't get in, he still learned about the airport. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
