Chapter Seventy-Three: The Road is High

Dai Ru, the leader of the first group of the Operations Department of the Headquarters of the Military Command Bureau, and one of the three ace killers of the military command on the same level as Zhou Chengbin, was ordered to come overnight. Mao Renfeng had already discussed the entire plan of action with Guo Xuan, he pointed to the map and said, "Director Guo, you explain it to Team Leader Dai." ”

Guo Xuan drew a circle with a pencil: "In this range, there is a Japanese radio station, and it is already 0:00 on the 21st, please ask Team Leader Dai to find this radio station within 48 hours and capture the transmitter alive." And they must not be alarmed until the arrest operation begins. ”

Dai Ru carefully studied the map with a magnifying glass, and said in embarrassment: "From the house numbers on the map, it is estimated that there should be no less than 200 households in this area, but as we all know, Chongqing has tight living conditions, and according to my estimate, there are at least 400 households. Forty-eight hours...... You can't be alarmed until you are captured...... The subordinates are not sure. ”

Mao Renfeng glanced at Guo Xuan, who was thinking about something and did not respond. Mao Renfeng had no choice but to speak: "Director Guo, give Team Leader Dai some tips." ”

For people who are not familiar with him, or who are not eye-catching, Guo Xuan's words have always been very brief: "Several conditions: one person has a single room; Second, the room where this person lives has a stable power supply, because Chongqing's batteries are military supplies, even if they are on the black market, they are simply priceless; Third, this person will not come to Chongqing for too long; Fourth, this person has companions, but it is unlikely that there will be more than three people living together, and the most likely is two people. ”

Guo Xuan's conditions excluded more than half of the people. During the Anti-Japanese War, conditions in Chongqing were extremely difficult, and many of the houses were built by the residents themselves, and these rooms were so simple that they consisted of bundles of thatch, bamboo poles, and ropes. Over the past few years, there have been so many people in Chongqing that people can't sleep on the main road, and the municipal authorities can only turn a blind eye, but for the sake of fire prevention, it is strictly forbidden to pull wires in such rooms. As a result, there is such a strange phenomenon in many houses: a large family rents several rooms, and only one room looks like a dot and has electric lights. The other rooms were a shack with kerosene lamps. Now, it has appeared that later people live in a shack built privately, seeing that other neighbors have electricity, while their own family can only sigh at the electricity.

This person has companions, there are not many people, but there are separate rooms, these three conditions mean that there are a maximum of three people, and they actually live in more than two rooms, and such "rich people" are even rarer. Dai Ru had confidence, saluted Mao Ren Feng Lizheng, and replied: "Please rest assured Mr. Mao, his subordinates will complete the task as scheduled." ”

Mao Renfeng waved his hand and said, "You don't have to promise me. From now on, you will be temporarily placed under the command of Director Guo until the mission is completed. Guo Xuan, don't forget how you guarantee it, there is no joke in the army. ”

Guo Xuan repeated his promise very strictly: "If you can't complete the task, Mr. Mao, you will kill my head!" But Team Leader Dai, if you can't find this radio station as scheduled, it doesn't matter if I die, and you won't be able to escape military justice! ”

Dai Ru didn't dare to slack off, so he selected more than 20 elites from his more than 100 subordinates and held a meeting overnight to arrange actions. At five o'clock in the morning on November 21, the sky was just hazy, and the group of two set off in disguise to the location designated by Guo Xuan. At 12 o'clock at noon, Dai Ru held a meeting to listen to the report. The situation was much better than he expected, and there were only 21 households that met the few necessary conditions that Guo Xuan reminded. Dai Ru had a new idea. He came to Guo Xuan's office and said to Guo Xuan, who was immersed in assembling a radio station: "The investigation has preliminary results, and I would like to report to you." And I have a new idea. ”

Guo Xuan raised his head and asked, "Let's hear it." ”

"This morning I sent twelve teams to conduct a preliminary investigation in the area you have demarcated, and we have learned that there are only twenty-one households that meet your criteria. I think the safest way is to stay on hold from now on, and then all the homes will be raided, arrested, and interrogated to ensure that they will not slip through the net. ”

Guo Xuan hesitated: "Twenty-one? It's not much, but it's not a lot, won't it be too disturbing to the people? ”

Dai Ruxin said, how can this person be so kind to a woman? He also said: "Director Guo, if we continue to investigate, it is inevitable that there will be some disturbances, in case the target is alarmed, wouldn't it be a big deal?" It's better to spy secretly from now on, and then catch them all. If you feel that this will affect the innocent, you may want to give some money afterwards to appease you. How is it? ”

Guo Xuan shook his head and said, "Worrying about disturbing the people is just one of the factors. Team Leader Dai, you don't know the inside story of this matter, and the matter is serious, and there is no room for negligence. Can you make sure that this radio station must be in these 21 households? Is the investigation detailed enough in one morning? ”

Dai Ru hesitated a little, and he replied, "What do you mean ......?"

"I think so, you send someone to continue to check the situation of these twenty-one families, and try to find an accurate target. If you go through a sieve and don't find an accurate target, you have to continue looking through someone else's home. I repeat: when you move, you must keep the movement small, and you must not alarm the target. ”

Dai Ru had no choice but to order his subordinates to continue to work in pairs and monitor the 21 key households separately. Manpower was also dispatched to conduct a second screening of other households. At eight o'clock in the evening, no new suspicions were found. couldn't help but be secretly dissatisfied with Guo Xuan: A person who engages in technology, what kind of actions and intelligence do you know? actually pointed fingers at himself. It is said that this person is not easy to get along with, and sure enough.

After a busy day, Dai Ru sat on a dandan noodle stall to eat noodles, hungry for a day, he had a bowl not enough to eat and another bowl, and when he ate to the bottom of the bowl, he looked up and saw a house next to the noodle stall, which looked small, only a house, and pulled the curtains, but he could see that there was a gas lamp lit in the room. A large camphor tree that could not be hugged by one person covered most of the house. Dai Ruxin said: This house is big enough, it is not clear from other angles, at least the room area is more than 20 square meters from here. Is this one house or two? This family does not have electricity, so it is not within the scope of the inspection. He looked at his watch, it was almost nine o'clock, and he had made an appointment at half past nine to listen to the report of some of his subordinates, and it was time to go back.

Dai Ru gave the face money, got up and prepared to leave, and at this moment, he saw a black insulated wire on the big camphor tree. He thought he had seen it wrong, so he sat down again: "Boss, it's a little cold, give me another bowl of noodle soup." ”

The old man who sold Dandan noodles had a good temper and said: "It's the end of November, the autumn wind is together, and the wind is strong at night." Here, here you go, it's done. ”

Dai Ru drank a few sips of noodle soup, and looked carefully, sure enough, it was a black insulated wire, connected to a street lamp that is rare in Chongqing, and penetrated into the room from the roof of that house under the shade of the big camphor tree! Dai Ru said secretly: It's so dangerous, I almost made a big mistake! This family has clear access to electricity, but deliberately uses gas lamps, and its intentions are self-explanatory. Dai Ru chatted with the old man who sold noodles: "Uncle, your Dandan noodles are really good, and the business is okay?" This location is well chosen, and there is a street lamp, why is it not on? No electricity? ”

"I make do with mixed food, my noodles are large, the ingredients are sufficient, and there are many repeat customers. Sir, if you eat well, come often, I've been setting up a stall here for almost a year. There were no street lights before, and this place seemed to be a special facility for air defense, and there was electricity, but it was not usually turned on. With the air defense alarm, the lighting was turned on for the person who ran the alarm. If it's bright every day, I don't need to light a gas lamp, and I can save a little, these days, kerosene is very expensive. ”

"You work hard enough alone, and your family doesn't come to help you?"

"I'm a lonely old man, where is the family?"

After drinking the noodle soup, Dai Ru got up and left. After walking five or six hundred meters, two subordinates were waiting at the intersection. Dai Ru whispered a few words, and then got on a bus.

The old man who set up the stall sold the noodles until 11 o'clock in the evening, and he counted the day's income as he walked with the empty burden. Walking to the Jialing River, two people in black tunics blocked the way: "Stop!" ”

The old man was taken aback, how could someone rob a lone poor old man who sold noodles these days? "What are you going to do?"

A person said coldly: "Don't be afraid, I just want to do you a favor for free, accompany you to the stall every day, don't get paid, and ask you for a piece of money." ”

The old man was stunned, what's going on, hell? And such a good thing? Before he could say no, a gun was put in his back: "Don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink." Come with me, our chief wants to see you. ”

The next day, November 22, at 3 p.m., the dandan noodle stall went out as usual, and there was one more guy, and the stall owner said that he was a fellow who had just come to Chongqing from his hometown and had not found a job, so he came to help him first.

In late autumn, the leaves of Chongqing are falling, and the night wind rolls up the stumps and leaves, mixed with the sound of the water of the Jialing River, which makes people feel cold. This kind of night is the best time for food stalls such as dandan noodles, and the people who eat noodles come and go, and the two stall owners, one old and one young, put the noodles into the boiling soup pot one by one. Soon, the hour hand pointed to one point. It's already the twenty-third day. All the noodles were sold out, and the stall finally sent off the last customer. Dai Ru came to the noodle stall with three plainclothes men, and the subordinate who was cleaning up nodded to him. Dai Ruyi waved his hand, and the five of them quietly surrounded the house under the big camphor tree.

One of his subordinates flew up, and the not-so-sturdy bamboo gate creaked, and the latch inside broke in two, and Dai Ru shouted: "No one is allowed to move!" Copy! ”

The room was divided into two rooms, inside and outside, and a man and a woman had gone to bed, hugging the quilt and shivering, and the man said, "What do you want to do?" It is a crime to break into a private house! ”

Several subordinates quickly turned the two rooms upside down, but found nothing. Dai Ru looked around and sneered: "Breaking the law? Soon you'll find out who broke the law! You two move that cabinet out of the way, and there's a hidden compartment inside. How do I usually teach you? The indoor area of these two houses is obviously at least one square meter smaller than the outdoor appearance, and they are blind? ”

When the man heard this, he pulled open a bed board under the pillow, took out a pistol, and before he could open the safe, Dai Ru jumped in front of him, grabbed his wrist, and with a sharp force, the man's wrist snapped and broke, and the hand was loosened, and the gun fell to the ground. The two subordinates removed an old wooden cabinet containing clothes and miscellaneous items, and a secret passage forty centimeters wide and three meters long was revealed, and a radio station was placed inside!

One of his subordinates rushed forward, pulled the quilt opener, and scolded: "Fuck, you two dogs and traitors, look at how Lao Tzu cleans you up!" ”

The woman, who was naked and wearing only a pair of recycled cloth pants, covered her body helplessly with her hands. Dai Ru waved his hand to stop: "Don't be rough!" Let her put on a dress. Search the room carefully. ”

After the search, Dai Ru ordered two of his subordinates: "You two go and drive the car over and escort the people back." The radio station stays here and all the suspicious stuff in the room is brought back. The subordinates received the order, drove a jeep from a distance, handcuffed the two prisoners together, and escorted them away.

Seeing the prisoner being escorted away, Dai Ru breathed a sigh of relief, lit a cigarette, took a few puffs and said, "You go and inform the brothers who are monitoring other suspicious residents that the operation is over, and you can withdraw." Director Guo of the province said that we disturbed the people. Then stay here and remember: don't alarm anyone. He turned to the subordinate who was cooking noodles and said, "In the next few days, you will accompany the stall owner and continue to sell noodles here, and don't let him talk nonsense to outsiders." ”

Walking out of the door, Dai Ru walked to the dandan noodle stall and said to the stall owner who was still in a daze: "Old man, I'm sorry for your trouble." Let's close the stall today, and your little fellow will have to accompany you to sell noodles in the next few days. ”

The stall owner hurriedly nodded in agreement, secretly sighing what kind of bad luck this is? Alas, this official has a good attitude, but his subordinates are fierce and vicious, and they are not easy to mess with.
