At 5 p.m. on 13 November, Ni Xin arranged for other people to follow the water patrol to carry out the search and arrest mission, and said to Liu Zezhi and Pingchuan Xinye: "Secretary Liu, Pingchuanjun, the military commander's attack convoy took place in Kunshan, and I think Yangcheng Lake is the most likely hiding place for them, there are only three patrol speedboats, and each of the three of us commands one, and the search will start at 10 o'clock in the evening. ”

Liu Zezhi's heart sank, and he had already learned from Xu Jianxue: Zhou Chengbin, Chen Jinsong, and Yamaki Longsan were on a small island in Yangcheng Lake. The water surface of Yangcheng Lake is not large, and three patrol boats are searching in a dragnet style, what should I do? He had an even bigger concern: Ni Xin used hallucinogens to interrogate the wounded and learned that Zhou Chengbin had ordered someone to bury the medicine. In the past, he and Zhou Chengbin planned not to transport drugs for the time being, deceived the world, and deliberately set up a bureau to mislead the Japanese into thinking that the medicines had been transported to Changsha, and waited for the Japanese and No. 76 to relax their vigilance, and then started the plan of transshipment, which seemed to be unworkable.

If the medicine cannot be safely shipped out of Shanghai, it is equivalent to spending the moon in the mirror, and it will not play any role in the war in Changsha, and Dai Ru and others will not die in vain? Alas, I can't take care of these now, and the urgent thing is how to help Zhou Chengbin get out of danger.

Hirakawa Shinno replied: "Yangcheng Lake is not big, three speedboats, half a day of cross-searching, should be enough." How many people are on a speedboat? What about the weapon configuration? ”

Ni Xin said: "Each patrol boat has a squad of ten people, in addition to miniature submachine guns, but also equipped with grenades, machine guns, I want to send four more agents to act with the ship, plus Type 97 infantry mortars, equipped with radio, do you have any opinions?" ”

Liu Zezhi's heart tightened, and he learned from the telegram sent by Chen Jinsong that Zhou Chengbin fled in a hurry with four subordinates, and if Chen Jinsong and the others who transferred the drug burial place were not with Zhou Chengbin, only four or five people would not be opponents at all. Even if Chen Jinsong is with him, there will be no more than ten people, and the area of the island where he is hiding is too small, and there is no room for maneuver at all. Once discovered, the other two speedboats could rush over for reinforcements in ten minutes.

Hirakawa Shinno replied: "I think it's okay, Liu Sang, what do you see?" ”

Liu Zezhi replied casually: "I have no opinion, so be it." Director Ni, when will you leave? ”

"I've got all the manpower, let's go."

Liu Zezhi frowned and said: "Director Ni, you have mercy, I have to go to eat and take medicine, the wound on my head has not healed yet, you don't want me to die in the middle of the road, right?" It's a shame that I and Pingchuan-kun didn't give you a secretary, otherwise you wouldn't be alive now! ”

Pingchuan Xinye also smiled and echoed: "Yes, it's more than five o'clock now, and there is no condition to eat on the road, and besides, the wind on the lake is strong and the night is cold, it looks like it's going to rain again, everyone has to add a piece of clothing, since it's a mission, I also want to go to the warehouse to get a gun with a larger caliber, Director Ni, set off in half an hour, is it okay?" ”

Ni Xin smiled and said, "I was negligent, just do what Pingchuan-kun said." Zezhi, of course I know that you are injured, Lao Zhao does not understand Japanese, and he and Asano-kun led the team and went to Hongze Lake and Gaoyou Lake separately, and my team leader also has their own places to go, so I have to call the two to help, bear with me, and see you in the parking lot in half an hour. ”

Liu Zezhi and Pingchuan Xinye hurriedly went to the cafeteria to eat two bowls of Yangchun noodles, broke up and went back to the dormitory to find a black leather coat, and a point 38 pistol purchased from the black market, hidden in the inner pocket of the windbreaker, and took out a small jewelry box with purple sandalwood inlaid silver, and walked to the office. ”

Zhang Keqing smiled: "What's the matter?" In such a hurry? ”

The two walked to the gate of No. 76, and Liu Zezhi said: "Mr. Zhang, I don't know whether I should do this, and I don't know if I can trust you, although Liu Wu, my younger brother, told me that I didn't misunderstand you, and now I am helpless, I can only ask you to do me a favor." ”

The two get along, Liu Zeyi has always called himself Lao Zhang, Team Leader Zhang, and Brother Zhang, he has never had such an estranged title, let alone such solemnity, Zhang Keqing's heart moved, and there was a moment of hesitation, although Liu Zezhi's words sounded unbounded, how could he not hear the meaning?

Liu Zezhi's eyes were full of pleading: "Mr. Zhang, I am Chinese, and you are also ......"

"Don't say it - there are some things that don't need to be too clear. What's the matter, you say. ”

Liu Zezhi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Please tell Mr. Xu Jianxue Xu: Director Li ordered me to set off immediately, assist Director Ni, and go to Yangcheng Lake to command the Imperial Army Water Patrol to carry out the task. Give this to her and she'll trust you. ”

Zhang Keqing took the jewelry box and put it in his pocket, understood it in his heart, looked at Liu Zezhi calmly, and said: "Don't worry, the person you miss in your heart, two years ago, on the night in the Vietnam hospital, you met for the first time, he didn't go to the morgue, he waited for you in the ward in advance, I inadvertently coincided with his ......meeting."

Liu Zezhi suddenly realized, it turned out that two years ago in Vietnam, Zhou Chengbin was ordered to hunt down and kill the rebel generals, and broke the appointment in the morgue, and the two talked in the ward, and all the qiē fell into the eyes of the person in front of him, so who is Zhang Keqing? Neither Zhou Chengbin nor himself noticed that he was snooping on the sidelines, this person is not simple. Was he also ordered to go undercover on No. 76, or did he step on two boats and didn't want to make a feud with the military commander? Or is it a conscience?

Seeing Liu Zezhi's thoughts, Zhang Keqing said: "After I finished this matter for you, I didn't know it before, and I still don't know it in the future, you and I are just more compatible colleagues in No. 76." ”

Liu Zezhi smiled and replied: "Yes, there is no change, the great grace is not thankful - I am leaving." ”

"Zezhi-" Zhang Keqing called softly, Liu Zezhi stopped and turned his head, looking at him, Zhang Keqing only said two words: "Take care." ”

At half past seven o'clock in the evening of the 13th, Chen Jinsong, who was on duty at the radio station, received an urgent telegram from Xu Jianxue and immediately reported to Zhou Chengbin: "The assistant of No. 86 sent a secret telegram: The Japanese and No. 76 are about to launch a search for Yangcheng Lake. ”

Zhou Chengbin got up suddenly and ordered: "Order Tang Jitian and the others to escort the mountain wood Ryusan, and all the personnel will be transferred immediately." ”

Ten minutes later, the fishing boat set sail. In the front cabin, Zhou Chengbin spread out the map and said: "Jinsong, No. 76 assisted the Japanese in the search for Yangcheng Lake, and other lakes may not be safe." You go to tell Yu Haochen that you go ashore from here, leave the boat at the liaison station, and change to a horse-drawn carriage, two kilometers away from this liaison station, where Dai Ru has built a backup supply depot and is a big car shop. You send Sun Dongsheng to fight the front station and see if there is any problem. ”

After Chen Jinsong finished explaining, he returned to the cabin and said to Zhou Chengbin: "Why do we want to take the burden of Yamaki Ryuzo? ”

"I originally wanted to personally escort him to Changsha Chief Xue, and try to get him to appear in front of Chinese and foreign media reporters to prove that we have indeed safely transported the medicine to the front line in Changsha. His appearance, even if he did not speak, not only greatly damaged the morale of the Japanese, but also played a more misleading role than we could have by saying a hundred words. I don't want to give up this trump card until I have to. ”

Chen Jinsong sighed: "Of course the idea is good, but now that we have lost Dai Ru and the elite of the third column, can we still free up our hands to escort him to Changsha?" ”

"The biggest difficulty at the moment is not manpower, but ...... Several of the wounded fell into the hands of No. 76, and it was estimated that it was unlikely that we had hidden the medicine and that we had hidden it. ”

Zhou Chengbin said the hidden worry in Chen Jinsong's heart, he sighed and said, "Stationmaster, what should we do now?" ”

"The two of us can't be together, otherwise if something happens, the consequences will be unimaginable. After the ship docked, you took Sun Dongsheng with you, and the six soldiers were left to you, and you were responsible for escorting Yamaki Ryuzo, waiting for my news in the big car shop. Tang Jitian's parents made a living by fishing, raising lotus roots, and selling crabs not far from the shore, and I took the three of them there. ”

Chen Jinsong didn't ask much, and replied: "I know, don't worry." ”

After the boat docked, Sun Dongsheng, who was standing in front of him, left in a hurry. After Chen Jinsong and others broke up with Zhou Chengbin, they waited in a thatched hut one mile away from the shore with Ryuzan Yamaki.

Zhou Chengbin said to Yu Haochen as he walked: "You immediately go to the station of the third column of the third detachment in the suburbs of Changshu, although the combat effectiveness of the third division cannot be compared with the other two detachments, but it did not participate in the first two operations, and the personnel are quite complete. I found Du Yifan, who was transferred from the Wuhu Action Group, and he is now the leader of the third detachment, and conveyed my order to him to mobilize fifteen soldiers who were able to penetrate the water, try to find two boats, and stand by the Yangtze River on the ground in Changshu. You then order Du Yifan to form two action groups, each with eight to ten people, on standby at any time. Alas, the largest number of manpower is estimated to be unable to be transferred. ”

Yu Haochen secretly sighed in his heart that the peripheral organizations and liaison stations developed by Shanghai Station a few days ago, the family foundation left by the third column, after this battle, suffered all losses, and Zhou Chengbin was also desperate to use all the family funds that could be used. He replied, "I'll do it, don't worry." You have a radio with you, and I will keep you informed if there is a situation. ”

At nine o'clock in the evening, Zhou Chengbin took Ge Jiapeng and Tang Jitian to the Tang family, and the two old men of the Tang family were overjoyed when they saw their son and their son's chief and comrades-in-arms. Sir, I originally had two daughters, both of whom died at the hands of the Japanese, and it was right for the eldest son to follow you to fight Japan. I'm afraid that he won't be able to help you, and he will make trouble for you. ”

Zhou Chengbin replied: "Old man, you have raised a good son, and Yoshida is my good helper." I'm going to cause trouble for your second elder this time. ”

Mother Tang brought boiling water and interjected: "The chief has seen what he said, we are a family, so I am afraid that we will not greet the chief well and neglect the chief." The rice has been cooked, and there are ducks at home, as well as freshly marinated bacon and bacon. ”

"Since it's a family, don't be a chief for your second elder, call me Lao Zhou."

Tang's father said: "That's not good, I'll call you Mr. Zhou, don't worry, we are the most deserted here, there is no one around one or two kilometers, and the vendors and crab sellers are not here this season, except for the two of us, it is a nephew of the same clan, Xiao Qi, no outsiders." There's nothing to eat, Mr. Zhou, don't dislike it, just eat some coarse tea and light rice. ”
