At half past seven o'clock in the evening of the 10th, several boats stopped at the wharf of Nanxun Town, one was a Baipeng passenger boat that ferried people between the towns and villages in the south of the Yangtze River, and the other was a Wupeng boat for the personal use of the Yin people in the water town. There are also two small fishing boats, which take shelter from the rain at the pier on rainy nights. There were only three or four passengers on board, and the owner was still soliciting business.

Lao Zhao accompanied Ruan Bo on the Wupeng boat, the boatman untied the cable, and the Wupeng boat soon disappeared. At this time, the Baipeng passenger ship also left the dock. Out of Nanxun Town, Ni Xin walked out of the Baipeng cabin, took out a high-powered military telescope, and looked forward. After a moment, he ordered: "Don't get too close, lest your opponent become suspicious." The rain helped us a lot, and there was only the boat in front of Ruan Bo and them. ”

In this way, Ni Xin and the others took an iron speedboat disguised as an old-style Baipeng passenger ship and followed them all the way.

In Shanghai, Liu Wu walked out of the house, and the paper cigarette shop with a public phone at the entrance of the alley was closed, and Liu Wu knocked on the door lightly. The boss saw that it was Liu Wu, and he didn't dare to complain. Since the neighbors knew that Liu Zezhi and Liu Wu were both No. 76 people, everyone's attitude towards the two brothers was so lukewarm. Although he was very disdainful in his heart, he didn't dare to provoke him.

Liu Wuxiao smiled and said hello, he dialed Xu Jianxue's phone, rang twice and hung up. Pulled again, there was another sound, and immediately hung up. Then he said to himself, "Did you remember the wrong number?" "Turn and leave.

The boss pouted dissatisfiedly behind him, it was almost eleven o'clock, tossing people. It turned out to be a very honest young man, but it became more and more annoying.

Liu Wu returned home, locked the front door, and turned off all the lights. Then open the back door and leave the house through the secluded back alley.

After receiving the code, Xu Jianxue knew that it was so late, and Liu Zezhi urgently contacted her, there must be something urgent. She told Ji Qun to quietly open the door and wait for Liu Zezhi in disguise. An hour later, Liu Wu silently pushed the door in. Xu Jianxue, who was waiting anxiously in the yard, was surprised: "Why are you?" Where is Zezhi? Let's go to the room and talk. ”

Walking into the room, Liu Wu said: "My fourth brother is still locked in the confinement room, but don't worry, I don't think he will have much trouble." If the time is more than nine o'clock in the evening and there is an urgent matter that needs to be met, the first way to contact me by phone is given to me by the fourth brother. Without further ado, this morning, many people went to northern Jiangsu on the 76th, including Ni Xin, Zhang Keqing and others, as well as Yamaki Ryuzo and action captain Tian Chengxi. ”

Xu Jianxue asked, "Northern Jiangsu?" That's the guerrilla zone of the third column. What else do you know? Drink your saliva first, speak slowly, and don't miss any details. ”

Liu Wu drank a glass of boiled water in one gulp and said, "It's a temporary action group, it's in a hurry, and it carries a radio station and weapons. Generally speaking, situations like this are urgent and important tasks, and the cooperation of various departments of No. 76 is required to complete them before the temporary formation of an action team. The person who sued me for this intelligence was also the fourth brother who hinted that I contacted him. Although I don't know his identity, the fourth brother must have his reasons for doing this. ”

"You got this information in the morning, why didn't you sue me until now?"

Liu Wu replied ashamedly: "I haven't reacted, I'm too stupid." Mr. Xu, I have to go. I don't have an idea what to do next. ”

Xu Jianxue nodded and said, "Okay, you go, pay attention to safety." ”

Sending Liu Wu away, Xu Jianxue ordered: "Sister Ji, prepare the radio station, and immediately telegraph this situation to the headquarters of the Chongqing Bureau, and ask them to contact the third column." ”

At half past eleven o'clock in the evening of the 10th, Lao Zhao and Ruan Bo stopped the boat in a river more than 60 kilometers away from Nanxun Town, abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, and disappeared into the night.

More than 400 meters later, Ni Xin also ordered the ship to stop advancing. He spread out the military map, picked up a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully for a moment, and said, "Send a report to General Kagezo Zhenzhao to inform General Sù of the latitude and longitude here." He also told the general that five kilometers west from here, there was a swampy wetland, and not only could not be driven into it, but even pedestrians could not go deep. But from the map: the center of this swampy wetland is on high ground, and I suspect that the secret camp of the third column is located there. ”

The subordinate replied, "Yes." Secretary Ni, what should we do next? Should we withdraw to Nanxun Town, or will we wait here? ”

Ni Xin looked at the map again, and secretly said in his heart that if Zhou Chengbin could organize a breakthrough, this was one of the two routes for him to retreat. He replied, "Let's wait here before we decide on our next move." ”

At twelve o'clock, the third column was stationed, except for the guards on duty, the lights were extinguished in the entire camp, and all the team members had fallen asleep. Zhou Chengbin, who had already gone to bed, had just fallen asleep when he was called by Dai Ru: "Stationmaster Zhou, wake up, something big may have happened." This is a telegram from the headquarters of the Chongqing Bureau. You see. ”

Zhou Chengbin, who woke up from his sleep, read the telegram, his heart sank, and he asked, "Lao Zhao and Ruan Bo, have they arrived?" ”

Dai Ru raised his hand and looked at his watch, and replied, "Not yet, but according to the time of their departure, it is estimated that there will be half an hour at most before they can reach the camp." Stationmaster, even if it is a false alarm, we must immediately arrange for the transfer of the station. Li Zhiyong rebelled, and Ruan Bo was delayed for nearly ten hours before arriving in Nanxun Town...... Yang Shuang did not show up again...... Coupled with this information sent by the eighty-sixth......"

Zhou Chengbin nodded and said, "You go and gather the troops immediately, bring the radio and weapons, and two days' dry food, and give up all the other supplies." After a quarter of an hour, ready for transfer. ”

Dai Ru led the order and ran out, and soon, there was a commotion in the camp, and Zhou Chengbin was thinking about the retreat route while making preparations before leaving. Ten minutes later, Dai Ru reported: "Stationmaster, it's all ready. ”

Zhou Chengbin ordered: "At present, the third squadron is not here, you lead the first squadron to retreat east to the area of Qidu Town, which is crisscrossed by the river." I led the 2nd Squadron to the north to retreat to the area around Taihu Lake. The rest of the Demomen you brought from Chongqing were grouped into two squadrons. Let's go. ”

Dai Ru retreated eastward with more than 100 members of the 1st Squadron, leaving the high slope where the station was located, which was the swamp. Dai Ru commanded; "Into a multi-way column, open the distance, it has just rained, the swamp is deep, you must be careful."

The brigade cautiously marched through the swamp, and from time to time a member of the team stumbled and fell into the swamp, and his companions hurriedly threw ropes to rescue. Greatly affected the speed of travel. An hour passed, and only a little more than three kilometers had been walked. Dai Nina said that this swamp caused problems for his team, and at the same time, if the Japanese did launch an encirclement and suppression, they would have more trouble. This swamp is also likely to become a life-saving weight.

Suddenly, dense gunfire rang out behind him, and according to the sound, Dai Ru judged that the location where the shootout took place was the place where Zhou Chengbin led the team to retreat. The Japanese are here! The two retreat routes have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the way to evacuate north to the Taihu Lake area is easy to take, but the distance is long, and the danger of colliding head-on with the enemy is great. The road to the east to the river must lead to Guò, a swampy area with a radius of more than 100 kilometers. Even if the enemy to be encircled and suppressed is all army, it must have vehicles and other equipment, and once it falls into a swampy area and cannot advance or retreat, it will defeat itself without a fight.

The team members asked: "Team Leader Dai, what should we do?" Do you want to go back for reinforcements? Listening to the sound of gunfire, there were quite a few enemies coming, and Stationmaster Zhou and them were outnumbered. ”

Dai Ru calmly replied: "Nonsense! Do you want the third column to be wiped out? Keep moving. ”

After Zhou Chengbin led his team out of 6 or 7 kilometers, he met with more than 1,500 people from a Japanese army brigade and a regiment of the "Peace Salvation Army" of the Wang puppet clique who had come to encircle and suppress them, and the two sides exchanged fire. Zhou Chengbin judged the situation: If the fight continues like this, it will not take an hour, and the team of less than 200 people under his command will be wiped out. He picked up the binoculars and looked behind him, but Dai Ru found no enemy in the swampy area where he had to retreat. He called four demomen and said to their team leader, Song Ziming, "Ziming, within ten minutes, you will lead people to plant explosives here to block the enemy's offensive advance." I'll give you another squad, and all four machine guns will be left for you as well. You bring people to cover. I retreated with the rest of the men and retreated from the swamp as well. ”

Song Ziming understood that if he served as a cover at this time, he would definitely die, but as a soldier, the military order was like a mountain, not to mention the horse leather shroud, fighting to the death with the Japanese robbers, it was a worthy death. He gave a military salute and responded: "Please rest assured, Stationmaster Zhou, Ziming will definitely lead people and the Japanese to swear to the death and cover the retreat of the team!" ”

Zhou Chengbin ordered the troops to throw all the grenades at the enemy's positions! Deafening explosions came and went, the sky was full of fire, and the enemy's fire was temporarily suppressed. The demomen planted the explosives, and Zhou Chengbin ordered the troops to withdraw from their positions.

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, who personally went to the front line to command, saw that the gunfire on the opposite position had become sporadic, and he sneered: "Zhou Chengbin, do you think that so many dozens of grenades can wipe out my regular army?" Hum! Want to run? It's not that easy! He ordered: "Pass my order: the position is advanced five hundred meters." ”

Song Ziming waited patiently for the fighter plane, watching the puppet army in front and the Japanese army behind, and slowly entered the encirclement composed of six explosives he had planted, and with a wave of his hand, four demomen detonated the explosives! Listening to the wails of Japanese robbers and traitor accomplices, Song Ziming smiled slightly, and retreated a hundred meters back with the twenty or so brothers who were also on cover duty.

Kagezo Zhenzhao calmly ordered the troops to continue to advance, and fell into the trap laid by Song Ziming for the second time. The second batch of explosives exploded again! Song Ziming said regretfully: "It's a pity, the explosives are gone, otherwise we can send more brutes to the western sky!" ”

Kagezo Zhenzhao, who had suffered two losses in a row, did not know that the enemy had set up several such "explosive arrays", so he did not dare to take risks again, and sent the vanguard to reconnoiter while fighting.

Song Ziming and the others lay in ambush in a shallow ditch, waiting quietly, he wanted to buy as much time as possible for the evacuation of the large army.

Several vanguard units did not encounter sniper fire as they advanced, and Kagesa once again ordered the large force to advance to the position. Song Ziming's four machine guns opened fire at the same time, and the enemy was suppressed again, stopped advancing, built improvised fortifications on the spot, and organized a counterattack.

More than an hour passed, and there were only two soldiers left by Song Ziming's side, and they ran out of ammunition and food! He ordered two of his men to retreat first, not to follow him to his death. The enemy suffered heavy losses, leaving behind more than a hundred corpses, and slowly surrounded them. Song Ziming was seriously injured, and countless guns were aimed at him, he smiled slightly, and pulled the last explosive pack......
