Just when Okabe Naosaburo was sitting in the city of sorrow, the path that lived in Yangliuqing Town was a little anxious. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The situation in Beiping is very good, step by step towards the arrangement of Yan'an, the surrender and uprising of the puppet army in Beiping Hebei is already a foregone conclusion, and all the division commanders and regiment commanders are in private contact with the Eighth Route Army. The puppet army in Shanxi is also in contact with Yan Xishan, and the Eighth Route Army is in contact with the puppet army in Shaanxi, but the progress is not very smooth, and most of the Shanxi puppet army is willing to submit to Yan Xishan.

The timing of the uprising of the puppet army in Shanxi and Hebei was completely in their own hands.

Anxious things in Europe.

It's been more than two months since he left Tehran, where he let go of the German spy Skorzeni and tried to lay out Europe with his hand and do something in Europe with powerful intelligence. Unfortunately, there are still no welcome changes in Europe.

After the Allied leaders returned to their respective countries, they began a strategic counterattack, but the war had not yet reached Germany proper. Except for a few victories in battles in the Soviet Union, there was no welcome progress on other fronts, and the Western Front was in a stalemate.

Germany itself did not send people to Hong Kong to contact its own people.

The address given to Skorzeny by the trail is a liaison station in Hong Kong and a stronghold of the Hong Kong and Kowloon detachments. This stronghold has not been activated. In order to keep in touch with the Germans, the Hong Kong underground party was launched two months ago, but it has been doing business and no one has come to the door.

February 20, 1944. Hong Kong.

The current Japanese governor of Hong Kong is Ryosuke Isotani, the former chief of staff of the Kwantung Army who was removed from his post and turned into a reserve after the Battle of Nomenkan. Later, he served as Governor of Hong Kong, a post he assumed in 1942.

Ryosuke Isoya has taken a series of measures to govern Hong Kong. The first is to force citizens to exchange for Japanese military tickets. Japanese military stamps circulated in the army, so it can be said that they are a kind of currency, but there are no guarantees. The army printed a large number of them in exchange for the citizens of Hong Kong, which was simply a direct plunder of property.

In January 1942, the ratio of the Hong Kong dollar to the military ticket was two to one. By 24 July '42, the exchange ratio between the Hong Kong dollar and the military ticket had become four to one. By June 1, 1943, the military stamp was the only currency in Hong Kong.

There are many foreign banks in Hong Kong, and each bank has a different kind of money business. In order to promote military tickets, the Japanese army arrested all foreign bankers in Hong Kong and locked them up in a hotel. Soon, many British banks were liquidated, and Japanese banks opened in Hong Kong.

In this way, the Japanese army plundered a large amount of property and materials from Hong Kong.

The second is enslavement education, prohibiting the use of English, eliminating the traces of enslavement education of the British, teaching practical Japanese, and branding Japanese culture. In addition to Japanese, the Japanese also changed the names of places and streets to Japanese names.

The Japanese changed the word Hong Kong to the word incense, the governor of Hong Kong became Xiangdu, Hong Kong and Kowloon became Xiangjiu, and the Sing Tao Daily changed to the Xiangdao Daily, etc.

Another policy, the evacuation policy, has forced a large number of Hong Kong residents to move back to the mainland, causing a sharp decline in Hong Kong's population. In January 1942, the Japanese government set up the "Homecoming Steering Committee", whose function was to force Hong Kong residents to return to Guangdong and the mainland.

Every month, the committee arranges for trains and boats to be transported by the residents at their own expense. If you don't have any money, you can leave on foot. By December 1942, 600,000 residents had left Hong Kong. During this period, a large number of families were scattered on the way, starving to death and freezing to death. In 1941, Hong Kong's population was 1.61 million, and by the time of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the population had dropped to 600,000.

Why are Hong Kong residents being evicted? The main reason is that Hong Kong is short of food and materials. Because of the bombing by the U.S. military and the economic blockade of Japan by the U.S., the shortage of materials has reached a very serious level.

The Japanese army wanted to ensure the supply of the army, so they drove the citizens away. Those who did not leave, the food was rationed. At that time, there were often people who died of starvation, and more than 300 corpses could be collected on the streets every day.

Under such difficult circumstances, the Hong Kong and Kowloon detachments still persisted in the war of resistance in Hong Kong. They were instructed not to launch a war and to concentrate on developing their forces, collecting intelligence on the Japanese army in Hong Kong, and helping the underground activities to carry out smoothly.

The Hong Kong and Kowloon detachments were subordinate to the Dongjiang Column. At present, the Dongjiang Column is developing rapidly in the Pearl River Delta region, making it very easy for the Hong Kong and Kowloon Detachments to travel between Hong Kong and the mainland.

However, although a high-ranking figure like Ryosuke Isoya knew that there were people who resisted Japan, and that the Hong Kong and Kowloon Detachment was an anti-Japanese guerrilla force, and although he knew that there were several thousand members of the Dongjiang Column and the Hong Kong-Kowloon Detachment, and that they were very active in Hong Kong, he would not know which one of them was a member of the Hong Kong-Kowloon Detachment. Not to mention, the person dressed as a small businessman turned out to be the former captain of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Brigade and the current commander of the Dongjiang Column, Zeng Sheng.

Zeng Sheng dressed as a small businessman and walked the streets of Hong Kong with a guard.

It stands to reason that he is the supreme leader who does not accept it, and he should not risk his life, but this time it is special that he wants to meet his old superior.

At that time, the Hong Kong and Kowloon detachment had only more than 200 people. When the Japanese invaded Hong Kong, the British army was defeated and retreated, and the Hong Kong and Kowloon detachment took advantage of the chaos to get a large number of weapons abandoned by the British army, and the team expanded rapidly, establishing a base in Kowloon, New Territories. The Hong Kong and Kowloon detachment rescued a large number of foreign soldiers, rescued some imprisoned British, transferred a large number of stranded cultural people, killed traitors, and bombed the airport.

Later, several small guerrillas were assigned to their leadership and formed the Dongjiang Column. The Southwest Bureau obtained a large number of weapons for them through various channels, and the team grew rapidly.

Zeng Sheng went to a watch and coin store this time, there were only two people in this small shop, one was the boss, his name was He Liuhua, and the other was a buddy, a young man who didn't talk much.

Since the end of last year, Zeng Sheng has accepted a task, that is, to arrange for a person to enter Hong Kong to open a shop as a cover and engage in secret work. As soon as he found the store, the people who went to Hong Kong came, and it was his old acquaintance, his old superior, He Liuhua.

Another part of Ho's mission was to observe foreigners, especially Americans or Germans, who came to Hong Kong to collect coins.

A few days ago, one of Zeng Sheng's scouts spotted a Swiss man who was engaged in import and export trade, mainly selling nylon socks, and had also inquired about currency collection stores.

Zeng Sheng followed the instructions and asked an investigator to hand him a business card, and the address on the business card was this He Liuhua clock and coin shop.

After giving out the business card, he personally came to the watch and coin store and informed He Liuhua that he had found a contact person and that he was coming to the joint.

When he came to the small shop, Zeng Sheng saw that there was no one left and right, so he opened the door of the store and walked in. There was a man in his thirties sitting behind the counter in the store, it was the owner He Liuhua. He Liuhua was overjoyed when he saw Zeng Sheng, and said, "What does Mr. see?" Do you want a clock? Do you want coins? If I have clocks and coins, I will accept them as well. ”

Zeng Sheng said: "Look at the clock. He whispered, "Chengzhi, that Swiss man has appeared." We have given him the address and we expect him to be here soon. ”

He Liuhua, who is known as Chengzhi, said: "I hope this time it is really a connector." ”

Zeng Sheng said: "I guess so." It can be seen that he is different from other businessmen. ”

He Liuhua said: "What's the good news? ”

Zeng Sheng said: "North China Tianjin victory, do you know? Mao Gong issued a letter urging the Japanese army in North China to surrender. ”

He Liuhua said: "I heard this on the radio. ”

Zeng Sheng said: "The news just came today that Baoding has been recovered. Our army, at a very small cost, achieved victory. ”

He Liuhua said: "It's a pity that there is no wine, you should really drink a glass." ”

Zeng Sheng said: "If there is a pig's tail, it will be extinct." "The people of Liangguang, especially Guangxi, love to eat pig's tail.

He Liuhua said: "It's good to eat it now." ”

Zeng Sheng said: "Do you have any other instructions?" ”

He Liuhua said: "The situation in Guangdong is always dissatisfied. The vast majority of the Japanese in Guangdong could not take care of it, and the majority of the Cantonese warlords fled, and this was a great opportunity for us to develop our strength. I thought about it for a long time, and there was a suggestion that you take it and send it to the Southern Bureau as a secret document. ”

Zeng Sheng took the document and said, "Then I'll go." ”

He Liuhua said: "Wait a minute, this is a little money earned in the past few days, and I will use it for funds." In addition, you are the commander of the Dongjiang Column, and the task is heavy, so you should not come to Hong Kong in person in the future, just send someone here. ”

Zeng Sheng said: "Okay." This time I think of my old comrades-in-arms, so I won't take it as an example. Good bye. ”

This He Liuhua, who is known as Chengzhi, his real name is Liao Chengzhi, and he is the son of Liao Zhongkai and He Xiangning. Sending people to Hong Kong is an extremely important task, and it is not possible to send people to Hong Kong. Yan'an thought twice and let him take on this task.

Liao Chengzhi is definitely a legend. He was the son of a Kuomintang veteran, born in Okubo, Japan, who was good at painting and knew several foreign languages, and quit Chiang's party after the old Chiang cleared the party. Studying in Japan and organizing anti-Japanese; Traveled to Germany; He studied at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow, Soviet Union, and became acquainted with the eldest son of the Jiang family. He was arrested many times in Shanghai, and even alarmed Lao Jiang. Later, he married the Fourth Front Army, opposed Zhang Guotao's establishment of a separate central government, and marched long with handcuffs, and was later protected by Zhou Gongbao.

After Liao Chengzhi arrived in Yan'an, Zhou Gong Deng's eldest sister asked Wang Bingnan's wife Wang Anna to try to send a letter to He Xiangning, informing her that Liao Chengzhi had arrived in Yan'an safely.

In order to express her gratitude, He Xiangning asked someone to transfer a set of high-quality lake pens to Mao Gong, a collection of her paintings, and a copy of Liao Zhongkai's "Shuangqing Word Grass".

After receiving the gift from He Xiangning, Mao Gong personally wrote a reply: "Mr. and his faction inherited the tradition of Mr. Sun, fought hard and unyieldingly, set an example for the Chinese nation, and admired and excited people from all over the country, not only Zedong and a few." Cheng Zhi is very good here, everyone thinks he is good, don't worry about it. ”

He was arrested and imprisoned several times, and each time he came out unscathed.

In 1938, he was ordered to set up an office of the Eighth Route Army in Hong Kong and set up a Yuehua Company at 18 Queen's Road to raise supplies. Because of the pressure exerted by the Japanese and Chongqing personnel stationed in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong government investigated and arrested the people. Liao Chengzhi was spared this time. In 1939, the Southern Bureau was established, and Liao Chengzhi was one of the members.

In 1941, Hong Kong retreated, and Liao Chengzhi also did a lot of work. In 1942, he retreated to northern Guangdong. Zhuang Zufang, a special agent of the Central Union, arrested Guo Qian, the former **** Jiangxi ******** and the organization director of the **** Southern Working Committee. Guo Qian defected and confessed the situation of the **** Southern Working Committee and the **** North Guangdong Provincial Party Committee (the **** North Guangdong Provincial Committee was destroyed), and also confessed Liao Chengzhi's address. Liao Chengzhi was immediately arrested

A month ago, he was in prison at the Majiazhou concentration camp in Jiangxi Province.

The Majiazhou concentration camp was where ****** were held, mostly by arrested Communists. It was May 1942, and Liao Chengzhi was arrested by the Kuomintang in Lechang, Guangdong, and imprisoned in the Jiangxi concentration camp, also known as the Majiazhou concentration camp, due to a traitor's whistleblowing.

When I entered the concentration camp, the dark days came.

Liao Chengzhi's personality is still the same, he dares to speak and do, regardless of 3721, he sings progressive songs, "March of the Volunteers", "The Internationale", "The Ballad of Yellow Water", and "La Marseillaise" sung in French, and gradually contacts some of his own people in prison.

Because of his special status, the prison authorities knew who his parents were, and they didn't dare to do anything to him, gave him pen and ink paint, and allowed him to paint.

During this period, he painted a large number of realistic paintings, which he prepared to quietly deliver so that he could be rescued from prison. A prison guard has been convinced, and is about to act, something happens.

That was a month ago, at six in the morning. Just after dawn, gunshots rang out. Soon, the prison was stormed, the jailers were captured, and all ****** were rescued.

The people who came to the rescue were a unit of the New Fourth Army, about 300 people, two of whom were from the northeast, one cadre and one soldier. This soldier was so good at marksmanship that he is said to have single-handedly killed more than a dozen Kuomintang soldiers guarding the prison.

The New Fourth Army escorted more than 400 ****** and dozens of jailers into the mountains, walked for two days and two nights, and when they arrived in the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong, they first released the jailers, and soon those people took away all the selected communists and arranged for them to go separately, and a few traitors suppressed and released.

In the end, the cadre, speaking with a northeastern accent, gave him the task and showed him another letter.

The letter was written by Zhou Gong, asking him to listen to the arrangements of the people.

As for the tasks, they were arranged by Commander-in-Chief Lu and Deputy Chairman together. The task is to come to Hong Kong and work temporarily for about half a year. The task is to transmit intelligence to foreign countries.

This northeastern cadre was very interesting, he brought a pen and paint, and asked him to paint a few, saying that their commander-in-chief asked him to paint them, and he wanted to collect them. Liao Chengzhi simply gave him all his realistic works of life in prison.

When the Northeast cadre left, Liao Chengzhi took the funds provided by the Northeast cadre and came to Guangzhou with the soldier from the Northeast, found the Hong Kong and Kowloon Brigade, and asked them to arrange for him to come to Hong Kong. Zeng Sheng, a member of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Brigade, was a subordinate before, and he also received orders, so he naturally arranged things very properly.

The Northeast warrior, alias Xiao Liu, worked as a buddy in the store, and his task was to protect Liao Chengzhi's safety.

This fighter is very interesting. In order to protect Liao Chengzhi's safety, he acted alone several times. Once, a group of people from the community came to look for trouble, and they had the support of the Japanese, and they were very confident.

At that time, Xiao Liu scared them away with a gun.

Then Xiao Liu left alone. Only came back in the night. Later, Xiao Liu told Liao Chengzhi that the club had been uprooted by him. Xiao Liu took a few people from the Hong Kong and Kowloon detachment into the community, killed these people cleanly, and threw their bodies into the sea.

Xiao Liu's murderous reputation spread, and no one came to trouble anymore.

It has been a month since Liao Chengzhi arrived in Hong Kong, and Zeng Sheng found several foreign businessmen, but the other party did not come up with a token of contact. There are also foreigners who take the initiative to come to the door, but there are no tokens.

Liu Chengzhi was not used to underground work in Hong Kong at first. Secret operations are okay, and when you see Japanese people on the street, you have to bow. With Liao Chengzhi's character, how is it possible: he is not afraid of anyone, he dares to fight with others openly in prison, and he goes south and north, who won't let him? When I met a Japanese boy, I had to bow to him.

However, he was a principled man, and understood the importance of his task, so he held back his temper and lurked.

This month, I have made some money, but there has been no progress in the mission. During this period, there were several and Japanese

******

1, Zeng Sheng, founding major general. Graduated from Sun Yat-sen University, the founder of the Hong Kong-Kowloon Detachment, and the commander of the Dongjiang Column. One of the earliest leaders of the South China Sea Fleet.

2. Liao Chengzhi was later transferred to a concentration camp in Chongqing, and was later rescued from prison by Zhou Gong and others.
