Chapter VII Medicine Store Joints

In order to better carry out the armed anti-Japanese war and intelligence work behind enemy lines, the column specially arranged Tan Changze, who was previously in charge of intelligence work in the Zaozhuang area, to the task force. After the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info selected the location of the detachment, Zhao Tiehu also knew the importance of intelligence work.

The first time the two entered the city, firstly, to see the control of the Japanese puppet army in Teng County, and secondly, because Tan Changze also developed an underground party member in Teng County. It's just that Tan Changze returned to the column a few times ago, and these dark lines were interrupted.

This time when he entered the city again, Tan Changze, who was on the same makeup for safety, even though he only had some beard. But as long as this kind of disguise is not someone who is familiar with him, I believe it is difficult to recognize him as the target of the previous little devil's pursuit.

Looking at this small but lively county, Zhao Tiehu knew that it was also related to the geographical location of Teng County. Relying on the two north-south passages, the Xinpu Railway and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Tengxian County has also become a place where many businesses gather.

Zhao Tiehu, who walked into Teng County, looked at many shops with foreign banks on the street, and said with a little curiosity: "Are these foreign shops all opened by little devils?" I don't seem to see any foreign devils on the street! ”

'Most of them are driven by little devils!' However, Zaozhuang and Tengxian have had many foreign firms since ancient times, and many businessmen have also hung their firms under the banners of some foreign devils in order to find backers. Some of the foreign shops here are British, and some are German-owned. ’

Listening to Tan Changze's introduction, Zhao Tiehu nodded and said, "In the realm of Zaozhuang, can you often see foreign devils?" ”

It used to be, but it's not often now. Especially during the previous battle of Xuzhou, many foreign devils either returned to Beiping or went to Shanghai. In the foreign business here, basically the little devil family is dominant, and other foreign companies can't compete with the little devil. ’

'Then there should be a lot of imp expatriates here, right?' ’

'Indeed! There are also restaurants and wineries opened by little devils in Zaozhuang, and these little devil merchants are in Zaozhuang, and they have done many things that harm the people. Many little devils exploit these laborers in the name of hired laborers, which is not a good thing. ’

When the two were walking and chatting, Zhao Tiehu also looked at the situation and buildings on the street from time to time. Seeing the little devil patrol that occasionally passed by, Zhao Tiehu and Tan Changze also avoided with the other people.

In short, the people walking on the street, basically no one dares to provoke these patrolling little devils. And many businessmen who do business on the street seem to be accustomed to these little devils dangling back and forth under their noses.

Walking to a place where the signboard of the medicine store was hung, Tan Changze said a little cautiously: "The informant I developed is the shopkeeper of this medicine store. A native of Teng County, his medical skills are very good, and he also has a certain reputation in Teng County. ”

Let's go to the teahouse over there and sit down, and don't rush over. I'll let people go inside and feel the situation first. You are the person in charge of intelligence in the entire Zaozhuang area, and under normal circumstances, you can't show up easily. ’

When he came to Zaozhuang, political commissar Li Yu also told Tan Changze about the situation. Earlier, the underground party organization in Zaozhuang defected after an intelligence officer was arrested, and Tan Changze, as the general director, also registered with the little devil.

Therefore, when he came, Li Yu also told Zhao Tiehu that he must ensure Tan Changze's safety. Something like this kind of joint, Zhao Tiehu felt that it was okay to do it secretly. Tan Changze can't be allowed to go in person, in case someone with a heart finds out his whereabouts.

If you follow yourself, even if someone recognizes Tan Changze and wants to arrest him from Zhao Tiehu's side, it is unlikely that it will come to you. And Zhao Tiehu's division of labor for Tan Changze is more responsible for logistics and intelligence liaison.

Even in order to facilitate contact with the column in the future, Zhao Tiehu came to Zaozhuang this time, and also hoped to find an opportunity to set up a radio station. In this way, it will be relatively easy and convenient to communicate with the column or other troops in the future.

Walking into the teahouse and finding a seat opposite the medicine store, Zhao Tiehu asked for a pot of tea and a few refreshments, accompanied Tan Changze to drink tea and chat, while watching that the business seemed to be good, there were always people in and out of the medicine store.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Zhao Tiehu suddenly made a gesture, and the combat team members sitting next to him quickly walked over. After giving some instructions, this combat team member, who specializes in reconnaissance, walked out of the teahouse and walked straight towards Yao.

The scout who walked into the medicine store looked at the guy who was busy grabbing medicine for others, and asked, "Is the shopkeeper Song here?" ”

'Guest, are you?' ’

I have a prescription and want to ask Shopkeeper Song to help me take care of my eyes. If it's okay, I'm going to get this pill out. Looking for someone to open the earthwork, I don't know if there is a problem. Therefore, I still need to ask Shopkeeper Song to help me take a look.

'Okay, wait, the shopkeeper is seeing a doctor, I'm afraid I need to wait a little longer. ’

'It's all right, tired man! ’

After waiting in the medicine store for a while, Song Renli, the shopkeeper of the medicine store who had seen the patient, quickly appeared in front of the scouts. Looking at this scout, who was dressed no different from ordinary people, the shopkeeper of the medicine store felt that this person was not simple.

As a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, I have dealt with a lot of three religions and nine streams. As for Song Renli's opinion, the young man in front of him looked very ordinary, but the way he sat on the chair did not look like the youth of ordinary people's families.

But he still said with a smile on his face: "Hello, sir! I'm Song Renli, the shopkeeper of the medicine store, and I heard the guy say that Mr. wants to catch medicine? ”

"Yes, it's just that this prescription was prescribed by someone earlier, and my family just moved here. I heard that Shopkeeper Song has excellent medical skills, so he specially came to seek medical treatment, and by the way, let Shopkeeper Song see if there is any problem with this prescription. ’

'Sir is not a local?' ’

"Well, I just moved here, this is a prescription, and I ask the shopkeeper to help me take a look!" ’

The conversation between the two seemed very ordinary in the eyes of the other customers of the medicine store. But Song Renli, who took the prescription, had a stiff expression, and suddenly said quickly: "This prescription is indeed a bit weird!" Can you tell me who prescribed this medicine? ”

'I'm not afraid of the shopkeeper's jokes, this is from a local man in my hometown. This man doesn't know anything about his surname, but he loves to drink wine from the jar. Although he always drinks and makes mistakes, he has also saved many people's lives. ’

Hearing the scout say 'I love to drink wine in the jar', Song Renli felt happy and worried in his heart, and thought about it: "If you don't mind, sir, tell me about the condition of your relative, and I'll help you see if this prescription should be changed again." ”

'Okay, I'm tired of the shopkeeper! ’

As they spoke, the two walked into the quiet room dedicated to receiving patients, and after sitting down, Song Renli said a little cautiously: "Mr. Xiao knows Boss Tan? How is he doing? ”

'Shopkeeper Song, Boss Tan is very safe now, but I miss you old friends a little. Because the situation has not been peaceful recently, Boss Tan is not willing to risk his life, so he ordered me to come and meet with you and ask about the recent situation in the city.

In addition, Boss Tan asked me to bring a sentence, if Shopkeeper Song is free recently, he can go to Xishan Village to practice medicine. When the time comes, Boss Tan will meet the shopkeeper there. This time, I only came with a message, and I didn't have any specific tasks.

In addition, Boss Tan also explained that as long as Shopkeeper Song is the same as usual, he doesn't have to do too many dangerous moves. As for the specific task, after Shopkeeper Song went to Xishan Village, he would know after meeting with Boss Tan. ’

'Boss Tan is back? ’

'Yes! This is Boss Tan's hometown, how could he just leave? However, there is one thing, please keep in mind Boss Tan. The medicine shop is very important, and you have only one task, which is to stock up on more medicinal herbs, which may be useful in the future. ’

After chatting with Shopkeeper Song for a long time, the scout who walked out of the medicine store also carried a few bags of medicinal herbs in his hands. In fact, this is just a simple joint task, and it is more to see if the pharmacy manager is exposed.

The scouts, who walked down the street with medicinal herbs and returned to the teahouse, did not find anyone following. And Zhao Tiehu, who had been staying in the teahouse, also didn't see any suspicious people walking into the medicine store.

From this situation, it can be basically confirmed that the shopkeeper of the medicine store Song has not been exposed. Tan Changze, who was sitting with him, also quietly watched Zhao Tiehu do these things. In his opinion, Zhao Tiehu's caution is indeed rare.

Tan Changze has always felt that Zhao Tiehu acted recklessly. But today's connection made him feel that if Zhao Tiehu was engaged in intelligence work, he believed that he would also be a very powerful intelligence officer. This kind of caution is the most urgently needed attitude of an intelligence officer.

'Old altar, it's not early, let's go out of the city first!' I'll go back to town tonight and get a feel for what's going on there. In the future, we will establish a base in Xishan, and the villages around that town need to be in-depth understanding.

After the large army comes, first develop some fortress villages, disguise themselves as bandits and kill a few local tyrants and inferior gentry. Under the condition of not alarming the little devils as much as possible, the villages around the town should first be included in the control scope of the base area.

In addition, after the transaction of the materials, we will go around Zaozhuang and find another resettlement site there. When the time comes, arrange an operational detachment there, which will be responsible for fighting guerrilla development units there.

First of all, we should disperse our troops as much as possible, and gradually expand our reputation in Zaozhuang with the guerrilla warfare strategy of encircling the cities from the countryside, so that the people know that we are by their side. As for the establishment of the intelligence station, we will discuss it together at that time. ’

'Good! If everything goes well, then it won't be long before we can create a new situation in Zaozhuang! ’

Regarding Zhao Tiehu's calculations, Tan Changze naturally has no opinion. The establishment of three guerrilla base areas seems to have dispersed the forces on hand. However, from a topographical point of view, these three base areas form a triangular defense area.

In the future, if any base area is attacked, the remaining two guerrilla areas will take advantage of the situation. In this case, it is unlikely that the little devil wants to wipe out the anti-war forces of the detachment at one time.

It's just that for Zhao Tiehu, dividing the detachment into three is more about wanting to expand the strength of the troops. There are a large number of veterans in the army brought this time, and in his opinion, it is also very important to expand some new soldiers!
