At one end of the platform came several officers, faintly visible in the steam emitted by the train. Shaofan looked at it and said, "Dabao! ”

"Yes!" The lieutenant officer of the assembled team was Qian Dabao, the leader of the pistol platoon, and he trotted to Shaofan and saluted: "Regiment commander! The team is assembled. ”

"Let's see who is walking by?" Shao Fan Dao.

"Yes," Dabao greeted him with two warriors. Seeing that the two sides saluted each other and walked over again, one of the second lieutenant officers came to Shaofan and saluted and said, "Commander Shen!" I am Staff Officer Li of the Northeast Army Headquarters, and I am here to pick you up and go to Lintong on the orders of the young marshal. ”

Shaofan smiled: "The young marshal really has a heart!" Where are the others? I haven't seen him in a long time and want to visit the young marshal. ”

Staff Officer Li said with a smile: "Our young marshal is accompanying the chairman in Huaqingchi, Lintong. ”

Shaofan nodded and said, "Okay!" Then let's go! ”

"Yes," Staff Officer Li saluted, "I arranged for the car to be outside the station." ”

"Dabao! Take the team out of the station and get on the bus. Shaofan threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, rubbed his left foot on it, straightened off his military uniform, and walked towards the station.

A troop led by Shaofan drove safely and soundly in the direction of Lintong, and four military trucks traveled all the way to see that the anti-Japanese sentiment of the people was quite high, and saw a procession heading towards Baqiao. Shaofan couldn't help but ask: "Staff Officer Li, what are these people going to do?" ”

Staff Officer Li said: "They are ordinary people from Xi'an, and they went to Lintong to petition the chairman of the committee for the Anti-Japanese War. ”

"Oh!" Shaofan sighed and said: "China has reached this point, shouldn't the principal still be worried about the fact of suppressing the Communist Party!" But I see that you young marshal will be scolded by the principal for this group of petitioners. ”

"The people of Xi'an came to petition one after another when they knew that the chairman was in Lintong, and several batches have been blocked during this time." Staff Officer Li said.

Shaofan stretched his waist and said: "If it is blocked, it will be chaotic; Dredging and eradication. As soon as the chairman of the committee does not see the petitioning procession, more petitioners will come to Lintong, and the principal must express his position as soon as possible! ”

Staff Officer Li smiled: "No wonder the young marshal said that you are very similar to him." The young marshal said the same thing. ”

Shaofan said: "The young marshal is one of the people I admire the most. I still remember his speech in Whampoa back then! chivalrous; Benevolent! But the world's misunderstanding of him is too deep! ”

Shaofan looked at the surging crowd outside the window and said secretly in his heart: "China has come to such a point, why is there still a civil war?" O Headmaster! What's going on in your mind? ”

The car was routinely stopped by the attendant guards at the gate of Huaqingchi, and Shaofan had to wait at the door, and after a while, he was called to report to the attendant room. After making a little arrangement for his troops, he walked towards the attendant's room, which was in a bungalow on the left side of Huaqing Pond.

The attendant's room is a temporary place, and it is not elegant, and a few flat tile houses are not very eye-catching, but Shaofan looks extraordinary from a military perspective. The bungalow stood on the edge of a small river that separated the front and back and was only crossed by an arched bridge. The attendant's room is placed here to guard the pass alone, and there are checkpoints and bunkers on both sides to report that the people on the other side of the river are in peace.

Shaofan sorted out Li Junrong at the door, knocked on the door and said, "Report!" ”

"Come in!" A word came from inside the door that made Shaofan very surprised, this voice was so familiar.

Shaofan pushed open the door and saw that there was a mess inside, and the tables and chairs next to a long table were placed in the middle of the room, and a few radio stations were placed in a corner, and the "Didi Da" code signal kept coming out. There were several officers at the long table discussing something.

Shaofan couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it, it turned out that a lieutenant general officer and two colonel officers on the side of the long table were his father and two elder brothers, and he understood in his heart how this voice was so familiar! The current Shen Yingchang is no longer the commander of Wei Rong in Nanjing, but the commander of the 10th Corps of the National Revolutionary Army, and this time he was ordered to come to suppress the Communist Party. And his eldest brother Shen Shaolong was the chairman of the council, the captain of the guard, and accompanied Chiang Kai-shek all the way to his safety. Although the second brother is still working in the military command, he has been promoted to the head of the special station, and this time he has come to Xi'an to take charge of all the affairs of the Xi'an military command station when the chairman is in Xi'an.

Shaofan saluted and shouted: "Shen Shaofan, the head of the National Youth League, was ordered to lead the spy company to report. Ask Commander Shen to give the order. ”

Shen Yingchang looked at it and said with a smile: "Report with your second brother!" He was now the captain of the squire guard. ”

"Oh!" Shaofan saluted Shaolong again: "Report to Chief Shen!" Guoqing ...... "Shaofan was interrupted by Shaolong before he finished speaking.

Shaolong said: "Okay! Don't come to this set. ”

Shaofan smiled: "That's not good! You're my boss now, and you're going to use a set from the army. ”

"Come less!" Shaolong said: "It's good if you come." Divide your troops into three squads and take care of the headmaster's security 24 hours a day, hidden near the five halls. ”

"Yes!" Shaofan said: "That's it! ”

"Hey!" Shaokun said: "You are the last guarantee for the principal's safety, and the task is not light!" ”

"Yes!" Shaofan saluted.

Shaolong said: "Shaofan! Are your people reliable? ”

"Captain of the Guard, rest assured. Absolutely reliable! Shaofan said again.

Shaolong pushed Shaofan and said, "You're here again!" ”

Shaofan smiled: "Don't worry, my people are absolutely reliable." I told them to go east, never to west. ”

"Okay" Shaolong said: "Then you go and arrange it." ”

"Yes," Shaofan thought about it and said, "Big brother! Can you ask your telegraph operator to set a dedicated frequency? ”

"Why?" Shaolong asked rhetorically.

Shaofan leaned into Shaolong's ear and muttered softly. After hearing this, Shaolong smiled and said, "You kid still has a trick, okay!" You give me the frequency number. ”

Let's say that Bai Xiaolong took the 150 people to Qindu, a small station in Xi'an, had already gotten off the train, bypassed Chang'an District according to the original plan, set off from Qindu, walked along the periphery of Chang'an District to Yuziping and crossed Yangzhuang; Tamagawa; The lawn enters the Qinling Mountains and then borrows the Sancha River in Shangluo; Xijing; Luo Yuan; Sanguan Temple entered the Lintong District of Xi'an, and then took advantage of the local mountains and jungles to hide it to measure the outside. But Bai Xiaolong didn't expect that as soon as he came out of Qindu, he would find that the entire Xi'an could be described as a soldier; The rumors were everywhere, and more than 100 people of the Northeast Army had to act day and night, so as not to let the Northeast Army find out that Bai Xiaolong's temporarily changed marching route started from Qindu, crossed Yuziping into Huanggang Village, and directly hid into Qinling, which was also like this, the troops' marching route was lengthened, which slowed down the time to enter Lintong, resulting in insufficient preparations, and the Northeast Army did not expect a divine soldier to appear. Of course, during this period, there was also a small episode that led to an error in judgment by the Northeast Army.

After several months of independent training, Bai Xiaolong's troops already have a certain understanding of special operations, plus Bai Xiaolong is an expert in special warfare, crossing the open posts and dark cards of the Northeast Army along the way; The pass stronghold was also easy, and it didn't take a few days to sneak into the Qinling Mountains.

The average height of the Qinling Mountains is 2000~3000 meters, and the mountains are huge; The valley bottom is narrow, and there are many horizontal valleys in the mountains and branch veins, which traverse central China. A force of more than 100 would not attract attention at all in such a large mountain range, but the mountain is a dangerous cliff; The march of the troops in the Henggu Wrong Ditch slowed down, and it was only on the fifth day that they reached the nine rooms of Shangluo. Jiujianfang is a small village with only a few dozen families living in the Zhongnan Mountains, and the information is closed and the traffic is difficult, but the people are simple and quite hospitable. Bai Xiaolong ordered the troops to make slight adjustments in the nine rooms, and at the same time telegraphed the situation of Shaofan's troops, and it was also this telegram that made the Northeast Army put on a small position.

December 1; Huaqing Pond Attendant Room Telecommunications Room. After Shaofan arranged everything, he would come to the telecommunications room every day to wait for Xiaolong's news. At noon that day, Shaofan came to the telecommunications room after inspecting the side as he had done a few days ago. As soon as he entered the telecommunications room, he saw a telegraph operator and stood up and said, "Captain Shen, there is news from 012." ”

"Really?" Shaofan hurriedly took the translated message and read it. Hurriedly walked to the map of Shaanxi, looked at it, and said to himself: "Nine rooms, rooms! ”

"Nine-room-room-." Zhang Xueliang exclaimed. In Zhang Xueliang's mansion, several officers and young marshals seemed to be waiting for an important guest in the living room, and on the sofa there was also the famous general Yang Hucheng.

Zhang Shaoshuai said: "Just crack a place name?" ”

"Young marshal! This mysterious code is a password that our army has never seen, not our army, not the Central Army, not even the Red Army, so far a place name has been cracked. An officer said.

The young marshal nodded and said, "Got it!" Go down! ”

"Yes!" The officer saluted and left.

Zhang Xueliang began to feel uneasy at this time, Yang Hucheng saw the young marshal's expression and asked, "Young marshal!" What happened? ”

Zhang Xueliang said: "Our army's telegraph room intercepted a telegram, and we can only know one place name by then. ”

"What place name?" Yang Hucheng couldn't sit still either, and stood up all of a sudden.

"Nine-room-room!" Zhang Xueliang said: "It's in Lintong District." ”

Yang Hucheng said: "Young marshal! What do you want to do? ”

Zhang Xueliang thought for a while and said, "Gui Wu, you immediately go to the nine rooms to search and see who is there in the nine rooms." ”

"Yes!" At this time, a burly officer stepped forward and responded.

Zhang Xueliang said again: "Remember to exercise it secretly, and never let the military commander and the central commander find out." ”

"Not bad!" Yang Hucheng said: "After the Liangguang Incident, Lao Jiang was a particularly sensitive military commander; The nose of these people in the middle is like a spirit of hunting dogs. ”

The officer nodded and left. This officer's name is Liu Guiwu, who was born in the green forest, has good skills, is bold and big, and is loyal to Zhang Xueliang. It was this search that made Shen Shaofan and Shen Shaolong more vigilant, and at this time, the special service company of the National Youth League had unwittingly entered an earth-shattering operation to disrupt the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army, and at the same time disrupted the exquisite plan of a pro-Japanese faction in the Nationalist Government.

This pro-Japanese faction is He Yingqin, although he has always been on the same line of suppressing the Communist Party with Chiang Kai-shek, but he is also dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's refusal to be pro-Japanese, especially after He Yingqin and Japan signed the "Bungu Agreement" and the "Xiemei Treaty", Chiang Kai-shek has always been quite disgusted by this, so the contradiction has also arisen, coupled with Japan's agitation next to He Yingqin, He Yingqin's ambition has swelled suddenly, and he is bent on disposing of Chiang Kai-shek as soon as possible, and then take control of power, so as to achieve a "peaceful country" in his mind, and join hands with the Japanese side to suppress the Communists. Under this premise, the Japanese side secretly sent a task force to Qinling, wanting to send Chiang Kai-shek to his dream of assisting He Yingqin as the leader of China. The plan of the Japanese side and He Yingqin can be described as seamless, they originally wanted to send a task force into Xi'an to assassinate Chiang Kai-shek, and then blame Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, He Yingqin naturally sent troops to encircle and suppress the east; The Northwest Army, coupled with the full support of Japan, will definitely be able to ascend to the throne, but he never expected that the task force sent by Japan would also rest in the nine rooms of Shangluo.

The consequences of the two special forces entering nine rooms with only a few dozen households at the same time can be imagined, and the Japanese task force only sent an assassination team of a dozen people, so it did not have an advantage in numbers. Bai Xiaolong did not enter the village because he was afraid that the reconnaissance patrol of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army would come to Jiujianfang, but rested on a hill not far from the village. The Japanese contingent swaggered into the village wearing the uniforms of the Northeast Army, but was wiped out by the Bai Xiaolong who did not know the truth.

Besides, Shen Shaofan also felt wrong about the atmosphere in Lintong, Shaofan was born with battlefield acumen, but he always said that it was not a reason. However, Liu Guiwu's secret search of the nine rooms in Lintong was discovered by the military commander, and when it reached Shaofan's ears, he began to get nervous. At this time, Shaolong also began to realize that his younger brother Shaofan's worries were not groundless, and he also strengthened his defense against Lintong, but it was too late now, and when they determined that Zhang Xueliang was going to launch an incident, it was about half past four in the morning on December 12, and we will talk about this matter in detail later. The Northeast Army conducted a comprehensive secret search of the nine rooms in Lintong, but never found the mysterious radio waves, thinking that it was the military commander's trick, so they did not pay attention.
