On April 1, the thirtieth year of the Republic of China, Zhou Chengbin returned to Shanghai, and that night, he connected with Yang Jun, the only one who stayed in Shanghai. In a Yangchun noodle restaurant on the bank of the Huangpu River, Yang Jun was eating noodles, he turned out to be temporarily transferred from the third column by Zhou Chengbin, and there was no intersection with other lines of Shanghai Station. When Zhao Jingdong's Yicheng Trading Company opened, Zhou Chengbin arranged for Liu Zezhi to be a miscellaneous clerk.

Yang Jun said in a low voice: "Zhao Jingdong's business is doing well these days, and a few days ago, he made a batch of European and American antique cultural relics. There are quite a few of them, and the variety is very varied, for which he specially built a warehouse. I'm in charge of this repository. On weekdays, except for Zhao Jingdong, only No. 76 a person named Liu Zezhi occasionally visits. ”

Yang Jun didn't know Liu Zezhi's identity, of course Zhou Chengbin couldn't tell it, he thought about it and had a bold idea: "At present, the liaison station has not been established, I want to use your warehouse for the time being." ”

Yang Jun nodded and said: "This idea is very bold, but the most dangerous place is the safest place, Li Shiqun is the company warehouse of the boss behind the scenes, who dares to check?" It happened that Zhao Jingdong went to Beiping the day before yesterday, as if he was talking about some business with a cultural relics dealer there. This back and forth is at least half a month. As long as the No. 76 guy named Liu Zezhi doesn't come, it's fine. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Chengbin was overjoyed and said: "Lao Yang, there will be a group of people in Chongqing tomorrow, you are responsible for connecting with them, and using these people to form three action groups, each group of four people, and you will be responsible for liaison for the time being." Today is April 1st, and your only task this month is to arrange for the members of these three teams to lurk in Shanghai. Remember: don't cross each other with these three action groups, they will only keep in touch with you. The radio station is also located with you temporarily. I'm sending someone to bring the radio at midnight today. You also keep that person for a few days and let him do something for you. ”

"I see, please rest assured."

Zhou Chengbin said in a low voice: "In this old briefcase next to my seat, there are two gold bars, which are for your activity funds." I'll be gone in a moment, you put it away. I'll contact you in three days at the warehouse you mentioned. The contact code is also in the briefcase, and it is burned after reading and remembering. ”

Back in a very small inn, Zhou Chengbin said to Zhai Yanmin: "This is the address, you go to Kangci Hospital, enter through this sewage pipe, and come out of here is the hospital's morgue." In the freezer numbered 017 inside, there is a corpse that has been delayed because of a dispute with the hospital, and under this corpse, there is a radio station, you take it out. According to this address, it was given to a person named Lao Yang. Then he will arrange your work. ”

Zhai Yanmin took the order and left. When Meng Xiaojie evacuated, in a hurry, the radio station could not be transferred, and he was reluctant to give up, so he had to temporarily find such a foolproof place to hide. After the celebration on the 76th, Liu Zezhi reported to Chongqing, mentioning that he had not found the radio station from Kangci Hospital, which showed that the radio station was still there. This time, the people sent by Chongqing carried a high-power radio station supported by Guo Xuan, and since this is the case, Zhou Chengbin decided to set up two radio stations in the rebuilt Shanghai station.

In the early morning of April 2, at the Peace Wharf, Zhou Chengbin and Chen Jinsong connected their heads. Zhou Chengbin said: "You take twelve subordinates to temporarily settle down at the dock. Shanghai's dock workers come and go, and it is not easy to check. Jinsong, this reorganization of Shanghai Station is the fourth time, and you must be ready to sacrifice your life for the country at any time. ”

"Please rest assured, Stationmaster Zhou, Jinsong has always had a wish, that is, to return to your command and fight side by side with you."

Zhou Chengbin still appreciates this old subordinate very much, he is taciturn, delicate, and his telecommunications technology is so-so. Although the skills are not very good, the tracking technology is top-notch. He decided to follow the previous method of two separate communication lines that did not intersect each other, and divided the most elite 12 operatives into three groups and handed them over to Chen Jinsong. After the explanation, Zhou Chengbin said again: "Jinsong, we have two undercover agents in No. 76 and the Japanese army headquarters, according to discipline, I can't tell you who they are at the moment." If I'm in danger, you can put a missing person notice in the Declaration and get in touch with them. This is the biggest secret of Shanghai Station, and no third person knows it except you and me. ”

Chen Jinsong nodded and carefully wrote down the content and format of the missing person notice. Zhou Chengbin ordered: "From now on, for the next month, you must not take any action unless I order you in person." Gain a foothold in Shanghai first. Also, this is a gold bar for the activity of the fund, this gold bar is enough for you to rent a house, open a paper cigarette shop as a contact point, and the radio station is also located there, after this contact point is set up, you are responsible for it, without my permission, do not use it for the time being.

At noon on April 2, on a fishing boat, Zhou Chengbin finally met Dai Ru, and the two met as if they were separated from each other. Dai Ru said: "I received a secret message from Mr. Mao, I have been waiting for you here for a day." ”

Zhou Chengbin sighed, didn't care about emotion, and said, "This is the activity fund for your twenty gold bars." Let's talk about the current situation of the third column. ”

"I led a squadron that broke through to the encirclement and killed and wounded more than 50 people in the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese puppets, and there were about 80 or 90 people who broke through. The 2nd Squadron you led has only returned to the team with more than 20 people, and together with a part of the 3rd Squadron that has been scattered and repaired, the total strength is now less than 150 people, of which 23 are wounded and 5 are seriously wounded. At present, the Japanese puppets are still continuing to encircle and suppress, and I have transferred my troops to the guerrilla zone of the 89th Army under Commander Han. Chief Han has given us a lot of weapons and ammunition. ”

Zhou Chengbin slammed his fist on the cabin partition, and the boat shook a few times. Of the more than 460 people, only more than 140 people remained, and the loss was more than two-thirds, if he could not be heartbroken?

Dai Ru advised: "The Sino-Japanese war is a protracted battle for survival between two countries, and we will inevitably pay a huge price. The God of Wealth operation blew up the counterfeit banknote processing factory that the Japanese had high hopes for, and it was inevitable that they would carry out retaliatory encirclement and suppression. These sacrificed soldiers sacrificed their lives for the country, and Stationmaster Zhou did not have to blame himself. ”

Zhou Chengbin shook his head and said: "Don't comfort me, I am really guilty of being incompetent and exhausting the three armies!" If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to leave this life and continue to deal with the Japanese devils, I really wouldn't have the face to live in this world. Lao Dai, the task of the third column is to cooperate with the Shanghai Station to fight against the Japanese invaders in the Songhu Hangjia area. Although the guerrilla zone of the 89th Army is safe, it is not a place where we should stay for long. In another month, it is still necessary to bring the troops back. ”

Dai Ru replied: "Of course I understand this truth, a soldier cannot leave his post without permission and abandon his position. This time, I have selected three soldiers who are very skilled and reliable, they are all Shanghainese, they are familiar with each other, and they are all familiar with the streets and alleys of Shanghai. There were also two people who could sail a boat, and they drove this small fishing boat. I'll leave them to you to arrange. I wanted to pick a few more, but I couldn't find them. ”

"Very good, it coincides with my thoughts. There was a soldier named Zhai Yanmin in the Second Squadron, who had been by my side when he broke through, and went back to Chongqing and Shanghai with me. I would like to send him with these three fighters to form an operational group directly under my command. You also leave this ship to me, and this task force is temporarily based on this ship. ”

Dai Ru is gone. After completing the preparatory work for the reconstruction of Shanghai Station, Zhou Chengbin still has one of the most important tasks: to contact Liu Zezhi and hunt down Ruan Bo. This was the first task Dai Li's assignment to him, and he had to start immediately. Moreover, there is another person, Li Zhiyong, where did he go? He also had to figure it out. If Li Zhiyong really defected to the enemy as others said, he would never allow him to continue to live! If...... If he has been wronged, or has died at the hands of the enemy, then he has to return his innocence, even if it is his responsibility to go to prison again for it.
