Chapter 565: Attending the meeting
In order to make this plan realistic, the top management of Yan'an released the news.
Therefore, when Fan Gang sent a telegram asking for instructions from that person, the man ordered Fan Gang to immediately set off for Kunming, Yunnan, and when he arrived in Kunming, he must find out the identity of the "butterfly".
When appropriate, people in Yunnan can be contacted to participate in the action.
And Fan Gang gathered three people and went to Kunming, Yunnan with him.
Fan Gang's address was not known to the other four people.
In particular, when he suspected that one of the other four people was a Japanese insider, he was even more careful not to let anyone know where he lived.
Because there is the most important thing in the residence: the transmitter that connects with Yan'an.
On February 19, 1943, Fan Gang and the three of them met on the train.
They planned to take a train to Mandalay, then transfer to Lashio, then to the China-Myanmar border and go to Muangshi via Kugok.
And under Mr. Fang's deliberate leak, Japanese agents also obtained information.
After receiving the secret report of Yan'an's secret line, Yamada immediately contacted the inner line who had returned to Myanmar and got the exact news that a meeting of senior overseas workers from the five countries would be held in Kunming, Yunnan. Among the participants, it was determined that there were "butterflies".
This made Yamada full of interest, "Butterfly" is an old rival, and I still don't know if he is a man or a woman, fat or thin.
Yamada had an urge to uncover the face of the "butterfly".
Although there is an inner line on the way to Yunnan, Yamada is not at ease.
He decided to send the most reliable person to Kunming, Yunnan Province, to personally witness who the "butterfly" was, and it was best to bring back the photo to make him wish.
This most reliable person is Zhou Lin, and the task is, of course, for Zhou Lin to pick it up.
Zhou Lin took this task in front of Yamada with a sad face.
To be honest, he really doesn't want to go to Yunnan, because if he goes, Xiangjun will definitely go, and if he doesn't get it right, he will be exposed.
When he planned to release Xiangjun to Yangon, Yamada informed him that for Zhou Lin's safety, Xiangjun and Yulan would both go to Yunnan.
There was no way, Zhou Lin had to take Xiangjun, Yulan, Li Shiba, and Wu Yonglin on the plane and flew to Tengchong.
In Tengchong, they got on another Japanese transport plane and landed in Chuxiong.
I took a car from Chuxiong to Kunming, and then I settled down.
Zhou Lin disguised himself as a businessman, Xiangjun and Yulan all disguised themselves, if they hadn't seen them disguised in the inner room, Zhou Lin wouldn't have known them.
And Li 18 and Wu Yonglin also dressed up, and they all changed.
They dressed up as guests from Wuhan, a city on the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.
Kunming is located in the middle of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in southwest China, bordering Dianchi Lake in the south, surrounded by mountains on three sides and the Dianchi Plain. Kunming is China's frontier and gateway to Southeast Asia, South Asia and even the Middle East, Southern Europe and Africa, with the unique geographical advantages of connecting Guizhou, Guizhou and Guizhou in the east, entering the Central Plains through Sichuan and Chongqing in the north, reaching Thailand and Cambodia in the south, and connecting Myanmar and India and Pakistan in the west.
Zhou Lin pretended to come to Kunming to buy a batch of goods. Yunzi and tea carving.
Yunzi: Yunnan Go Game, which has a history of more than 500 years. In the early years, the chess pieces produced in Yongchang Mansion (now Baoshan) were of higher quality, also known as Yongzi, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, as a tribute to the royal family, Yunzi was simple and vigorous, comfortable to feel, soft in color, suitable for the player to watch and think for a long time. The white seeds are as white as jade, the sunspots are pitch black on the chessboard, and the fingers are green when they look at the light, and they are known as "national treasures".
Tea carving: Using Yunnan large-leaf dried green hair tea as raw material, through carving molds, and using molds to press Pu'er tea into tea carving works with various modeling styles.
This time, Zhou Lin is going to buy a batch of tea carving works of the zodiac and put them on Zhoujiadao to sell, matching Chinese knots, which is very beautiful.
After arriving in Kunming, Zhou Lin asked Xiangjun to send a telegram to Yan'an.
Mr. Fang replied that in order to divert the attention of the Japanese, the Kuomintang, and the insiders, someone would attend the meeting as a "butterfly."
Only participate for one day, and then evacuate, let Zhou Lin help that "butterfly" at the right time, so that he can withdraw from Yunnan safely.
Zhou Lin thought about it for a while, and then worked out a retreat plan.
After Mr. Fang received Zhou Lin's plan, he quickly called back: approve the implementation.
On the fifth day after Zhou Lin arrived in Kunming, the "Work Conference of Overseas Senior Officials" in Yan'an was officially held in a remote place in Dianchi Lake in Kunming.
The five senior officials attending the meeting were all present.
Zhou Lin led a team of five people to a small village next to the village where the meeting was located, only two miles away from that place.
Both the military and the central commanders came to this place, and they lived in another small village, with forty or fifty people on each side.
Zhou Lin found that there was another team of the Japanese who had also arrived here.
They lived in a village between Zhou Lin and the two villages of the military commander.
For a time, the village where the meeting was taking place was surrounded by all sides.
Zhou Lin saw this situation and knew that it was a fierce battle.
The Kuomintang did not want to let go of these people in Yan'an, and the Japanese did not want to let go of these people.
How to rescue them, this is a very difficult thing.
After receiving Zhou Lin's briefing, Mr. Fang studied how to get out of danger.
Whether it was the Japanese or the Kuomintang, they all knew that the meeting would be held for three days, and the last day would be attended by high-level officials from Yan'an. So the time for them to act was three days later.
This is the only opportunity for the senior officials to attend this meeting.
In the evening, a person in charge of Yan'an, who was presiding over the meeting, called everyone together.
"Comrades, the news of this meeting has been exposed, and we are already surrounded by the Kuomintang and the Japanese secret service."
Everyone talked in unison, and soon they all calmed down.
"We have a contingency plan, but looking at the current situation, it is difficult to have a good effect. Because that place is also guarded. ”
"Where?" Someone asked. Everyone is trying to figure it out.
The person in charge pointed to the map and said: "There is a karst cave behind the small village that is now occupied by the military commanders. As soon as you enter the cave, there is an exit from another part of the cave. We'll be able to leave through that exit. ”
"Only when the military commanders and the central commanders are transferred out can we enter the cave." A senior worker said.
The person in charge looked at everyone: "We have a plan, which is to let one person go and attract the enemy away and let the enemy leave the village. ”
"What's the plan?" At this time, "Butterfly", who was sitting in a corner, asked.
"A man with a few ordinary staff, pretending to be a meeting person, went to the ferry in the dark, where there was a boat ......"
"Butterfly" said: "I will go and lead away the enemy, and you will retreat." ”
At this time, another senior worker said, "No! Whether it's the Japanese or the military commanders, they want to catch you. ”
"Butterfly" did not look up: "Because of this, as soon as I come forward, I can attract everyone's attention." ”
