Finally received the code sent by Zhou Chengbin over the phone, Feng Gensheng was so excited that he almost cried: Great! God favors you, Zhou Chengbin is fine! He suppressed his emotions and, according to the regulations, walked out of the contact point and hid himself under the corner of the house about ten meters away. At half past two, a three-wheeler stopped, and by the light of the street lamp not far away, Feng Gensheng recognized that it was Zhou Chengbin, the chief officer of the Shanghai Branch, who was looking for by his colleagues in the Shanghai Branch!

The tricycle left quietly, Feng Gensheng walked quickly in front of Zhou Chengbin, Zhou Chengbin was stunned, Feng Gensheng said in a low voice: "Are you injured?" I'll help you, come into the house and say, you're okay. ”

Walking into the contact point, Feng Gensheng helped Zhou Chengbin sit down, handed over a cup of tea prepared in advance, and took the initiative to say: "We are in a hurry, the bureau headquarters sent Liu Zezhi to Shanghai as a special commissioner, and he ordered me to replace Ge Jiapeng, with Lin Shirong and Gong Suhe--he also followed you, and was in charge of the Shanghai branch of the sleeper agent together." I am not with Lin Shirong and Lao Gong according to discipline. ”

Liu Zezhi is here? Zhou Chengbin asked, "Did Zhang Chi have an accident?" ”

"I'm really convinced, how did you come up with it? Yes, almost at the same time as your disappearance, Deputy Director Zhang also lost his voice. That's why the bureau headquarters sent Liu Zezhi. Where have you been these days? ”

"It's inconvenient for me to say, don't ask. Is there any news from Zhang Chi? ”

"As far as I know, no, do your injuries matter?"

"It's out of danger. Lao Feng, make arrangements, I want to return to the base area as soon as possible. ”

At four o'clock in the morning, in the Zhenjiang Police Station, Asano finally pried open Liao Taohe's mouth with one click, and Liao Taohe, who was covered in blood, said: "Li Yi, the battalion commander of the third battalion, is the one who tricked me into colluding with the military commander...... I discussed with Li Yi...... I sent Zhang Chi and others to a deserted island in Yangcheng Lake, where his battalion had been trained, and I can't remember the exact latitude and longitude, but it was recorded in the mezzanine of the silver cigarette case I carried......"

Asano motioned to Xie Wei to find the cigarette case with one click, and sneered: "Toast and don't eat and drink!" The great thing of the Great Japanese Empire is that it is in the hands of you lowly people who eat inside and out, and waver. ”

Liao Taohe mourned: "I am willing to cooperate with the imperial army and hand over Zhang Chi and others, Asano-kun, please, tell me a personal favor in front of General Ono......"

"Humph! Gift? Zhang Chi was handed over by you on your own initiative? Even if General Ono is soft-hearted, I will advise the general to be strict and set an example! ”

Liao Tao was desperate and cried bitterly! Asano looked at him coldly, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

Xie Wei took the silver cigarette case copied from Liao Taohe's house, and there were a few numbers written on the mezzanine, and he showed it to Liao Taohe who was tied to the torture rack, Liao Taohe nodded, and begged again: "That's it, Asano Taijun, I know I'm sorry for the imperial army, but my family, they don't know, so you raise your noble hand and spare them, please...... And his brother Liao Kanghe, please leave his life......"

Asano ignored him with a button, got up and said, "Take him off, handcuff him, and lock him up." Xie San, let's go, go and report to General Ono and Director Ni. ”

At five o'clock in the morning, He Qixin, who was leading the team on standby by Yangcheng Lake, received a secret telegram from Ni Xin, and he ordered: "The four patrol boats on standby are all dispatched to this latitude and longitude to search for military commander Zhang Chi and other bandits!" If you encounter resistance, you will be killed! He turned to Yu Siwen, who was ordered by Heiichiro Ono to assist him in his mission, and said, "I got on the first patrol boat, and you went to the palace on the fourth patrol boat." Let's go. ”

At six o'clock in the morning, Zhang Chi and the other four people had been swimming to this sandbar for more than ten hours, and they had piled up two small sand dunes as cover. He also found a large discarded fishing net discarded by fishermen on the sandbar that had been blown here by the wind and waves, and he tied a few stones, broke off a dozen bush branches, stretched them out at all angles, and threw them into the course of the expected patrol boat.

Zhang Chi asked, "Is this okay?" The Water Smuggling Unit is a motorized iron boat. ”

"Deputy Director Zhang, don't worry, it's not the first time I've done this, but unfortunately there is only one broken fishing net, and the probability of success is only seventy percent, if there are two more, it will definitely be able to entangle the patrol boat's machine."

At 6:05, the sound of the motor of the patrol boat was faintly heard in the distance, Zhang Chi and Chen Ming were lying in ambush behind the second sand dune, and more than 20 meters away from them to the east were Li Yi and Qiao Wenrong.

The patrol boat drove from far to near, and on the front and rear decks stood a soldier holding a 38 big cover, waiting calmly. The patrol boat sailed past the "fishing net array" set up by Li Yi, and sure enough, it was entangled.

A soldier walked out of the cabin with an iron rod, went to the back deck and looked underwater, and after a while, shouted a few words into the cabin, and a man with an iron rod came out of the cabin.

At this time, the morning light was slightly dewed, and the sky was about to brighten, Zhang Chi aimed at the only remaining pilot in the cabin, and signaled Chen Ming to fire!

Chen Ming hit the soldier on duty on the back deck with one shot! The guns opened fire almost in unison, shattering the glass of the cabin, and the pilot collapsed in his seat.

Li Yi and Qiao Wenrong, who were closer, also fired their guns, killing the soldier on duty on the foredeck, one of the two soldiers holding iron rods was killed, and the other lay down on the deck, climbed a few steps, picked up the 38 big cover of the soldier on duty and fired back.

Zhang Chi and the others only had a pistol with them, and they did not have a long range of 38 big covers, and the soldier knew his situation very well: the opponent set up an ambush, took him by surprise, and his accomplices were all killed, outnumbered, so he could only flee into the cabin, and return fire with a machine gun, or shoot the patrol boat out of the range of a pistol, and then he could save a life.

The soldier fired several shots in a row, and Zhang Chi and the others did not dare to show their heads, so they rolled on the spot, trying to hide in the cabin. Zhang Chi guessed his intentions, and when Sanba Dagai stopped shooting, he ventured out and leaned out half of his body and wounded the only remaining soldier with one shot! With a scream, the guns in the hands of Chen Ming and the others also spoke at the same time, and the soldier was beaten into a sieve and rolled into the lake!

Li Yi took the lead in rushing out of the water and got on the boat, carefully searching for fear of missing the net, and Zhang Chi and others followed later. Li Yi reported: "There is no oil and water to fish for patrols in winter, it is just a routine business, and there are only five people on this patrol boat." ”

Zhang Chi ordered: "Let's do it together, fish out the corpse, and the fishing net that entangles the engine, and then Li Yi will drive the boat and go back to pick up Liao Kanghe and Cui Feng, and the others will take off the clothes on the corpse and disguise themselves as soldiers of the anti-smuggling team in order to get out." ”

Everyone was busy, and soon, the patrol boat arrived at the desert island where Zhang Chi and the others were trapped before, Liao Kanghe and Cui Feng, who had been hanging their hearts, looked at the shore, and Zhang Chi raised his voice and shouted: "Hurry up and get on the boat and leave." ”

The patrol boat drove two or three kilometers, and the sound of a motor was heard in the distance, and Li Yi said: "Deputy Director Zhang, it seems that a ship is coming, and there is more than one." Strangely, we should not be on the patrol boat's intended route. ”

Zhang Chi ordered: "Qiao Wenrong, Liao Kanghe, you have met with No. 76, come into the cabin, and let Chen Ming and Cui Feng pretend to be the sentries on duty." Whoever comes, deal with it carefully, try to get past it, and try not to get into a conflict. ”

The patrol boat drove forward for another two or three kilometers, and four identical patrol boats came into sight, Li Yi's face changed greatly, and he said hurriedly: "Deputy Director Zhang, the patrol boat of the water anti-smuggling team is also here, and this water anti-smuggling team only has about a dozen boats as far as I know, and it is impossible for them not to know the people on this boat, what should I do?" ”

"Change course and go full throttle. Others are ready for battle. ”

Qiao Wenrong and the other four prepared separately, and Li Yi said again: "Unless there is a big operation, it is rare for the patrol boats of the anti-smuggling team to dispatch so many at once, I suspect that he is coming at us." ”

He Qixin, who was on the first patrol boat, saw the patrol boat that Zhang Chi and the others were riding one step earlier because of the telescope, and said strangely: "Why is there a patrol boat ahead?" Captain Hong, didn't you say that the desert island happened to be on one of the three patrol routes? You come and see. ”

Captain Hong of the anti-smuggling team who accompanied the operation took the binoculars and looked at it, and it was also very strange: "Yes, where did the patrol boat come from?" The fog on the lake is too great today to make out the number. Is it off course? We'll see it later. ”

After a while, He Qixin took the telescope to observe again, and said: "The people on the boat are wearing military uniforms, and the number seems to be three or six...... Seven? Hey, no, why is it getting more and more difficult to see? ”

Captain Hong said, "Where is it, let me see—"

He Qixin handed him the telescope, and after a while, Captain Hong said, "It seems that you have changed course, is it a mistake?" Or did you go to private work? Where is the chief, do you think it is necessary to send a boat to catch up and ask? ”

He Qixin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Catch up?" How easy is it to talk about the same ship? How often do you deviate from your route? Captain Hong, let me remind you: the matter is big, you must tell the truth, I have no interest in pursuing or reporting the daily affairs of the anti-smuggling team. ”

Captain Hong was a little embarrassed, and replied honestly: "This has happened in other seasons, and the brothers do some private work...... In this season, it should not be, the fishermen do not go to the lake, and there is no private work to do...... Fuck, I've been telling me again and again in the past two days not to make trouble for me, to cooperate with him, and to settle accounts with these bastards when I get back! ”

He Qixin thought for a moment and asked, "How far are you from the goal?" ”

"It's coming, less than two kilometers to go."

"Let's go to the island first. Captain Hong, I repeat: although there are only six people on the island, these people are fierce and stubborn military commanders and bandits, and they order everyone to be ready for battle! ”

Captain Hong said in his heart: Isn't it easy for more than 40 operatives with heavy weapons to deal with the six people on the island who are defenseless and only carry guns with them? Is it necessary to make such a fuss? The opponent has no ships, and it is difficult to fly with wings. He replied: "Yes, I will inform the other three ships in the flag at once." ”

Four patrol boats surrounded the desert island in front and behind, and the island was silent, He Qixin ordered: "The commandos on each ship go to the island to search, and the others are on standby on the ship." ”

Four groups of thirty-two agents landed on the shore and scattered in all directions, searching forward under cross-cover, and Yu Siwen commanded the landing and search, and he was preoccupied with vigilance and waiting.
