Chapter 282: Escort Fee
In the early morning of 16 May 1933, the people of the Soviet area, who had just defeated the fourth heavy encirclement and suppression of the Nationalist Army, went up to the mountains early and went down to work in the fields.
Because the Soviet area was once again tightly sealed by the Nationalist Army, the people were actively producing to save themselves.
In the early morning of this day, the sun was red and bright, generously throwing warmth into the earth, and it was still the field where five circles were drawn last time, and hundreds of soldiers were working in full swing.
However, the five circles were gone, replaced by a large circle, and the field around the circle was simply leveled for several hundred meters.
As the battalion commander of the guard battalion under the direct jurisdiction of Zhou Weiren in the Soviet District, Liu Hailong led the soldiers of the whole battalion to spend one night and finally completed the task assigned by his superiors.
At this time, he was panting and lying on the runway that had just been leveled without an image, and a soldier was also lying next to Liu Hailong:
Now I have just stopped touching this place, which has allowed me to level the site here, and since last night to now, I have been digging the soil and padding stones, and I have just used the stone mill in the village to grind it several times.
What's going on? Do you still want to come to the airplane? In that case, let's get out of here quickly, and don't let something fall from the sky like we did last time. β
This little soldier was smashed into a broken thigh because of Liu Hailong's mistake last time, but fortunately, he just let the grain bag be wiped a little, if it was done, he would never want to stand up in his life.
Liu Hailong has always felt sorry for him in his heart, so since he beat him, he has become Liu Hailong's orderly.
Liu Hailong heard the orderly's complain and slapped him on the head: "You stinky boy, you really can't open any pot, didn't you hear this order?"
Is it for us to level out a flight runway overnight so that a plane can land this morning, and I hear it clearly, it was a plane landing, and it was not an airdrop, what are we afraid of?
Just lie here and wait, can't we see such a big plane? Can we still crash a plane that big? Something that doesn't make a difference. β
Liu Hailong stared at the sky while teaching his orderlies, he wanted to take a good look at where the plane flew from.
At the same time, under the small forest not far from the runway of the airstrip, Li Kenong and Zhou Weiren, who had already returned to the Soviet area one step earlier, and many of the party's early leaders were standing anxiously under the woods.
"Do you say that the angels can really rescue Comrade Chen Geng?" Zhou Weiren asked Li Kenong in a low voice.
"It should be possible, after all, angels have never missed a move in doing things, so I believe that this time will be successful, and you also saw the telegram last night.
He said that we should wait here at 6 o'clock today, and asked us to level a flat runway 30 meters wide and 300 meters long, probably to send Comrade Chen Geng by plane. Li Kenong replied.
"This angel is too old, Shanghai No. 1 Prison is not as good as before, a few days ago we analyzed the structure of this prison together, just the soldiers of the outer defense have a regiment of people.
There were multiple bayonets, machine guns, bunkers and bunkers, and separate walls and machine gun posts between the buildings that watched the prisoners were guarded, and I really couldn't think of how this angel managed to get people out. β
Zhou Weiren, who was really bored after waiting for a long time, couldn't help but say worriedly.
"Comrade Zhou doesn't need to be in a hurry, when Comrade Chen Geng comes back, we don't ask him about the process, he will also talk about it. Then everything will be clear. Li Kenong persuaded again.
Before the plane appeared, Zhou Weiren talked with Li Kenong about Li Tie's previous affairs and the help Li Tie had given them to the party from the past two or five years to the present.
If you calculate it carefully, this Li Tie donated tens of millions of yuan worth of gold and various materials, and the total value accounted for more than half of the funds of their whole party.
When he was sighing, Zhou Weiren suddenly asked: "Do you still remember the death threat he issued to Wu Teng Xinyi when Li Tie was asked by reporters from various countries two months ago, when the Japanese Kwantung Army had just invaded Rehe?" β
"I heard that, now everyone privately calls Li Tie's threat Li Tie's death order. However, many people don't believe that Li Tie can do this, and I don't believe it either.
After all, even without prior warning, it would be impossible to kill Wu Teng Xinyi. Since the assassination of General Yoshinori Shirakawa by the Koreans, the protection of Japan's top military officers has become tighter.
What's more, Li Tie had warned Wu Teng Xinyi in advance, and almost everyone in the world knew about this matter.
Therefore, even if the Axe Gang behind Li Tie is the best assassination organization in China, we in the industry are not optimistic about this assassination.
If Li Tie can kill Wu Teng Xinyi in this situation, then is there anyone in this world who he can't kill? I'm afraid that if he is immediately asked to assassinate the Emperor of Japan, he will be able to succeed just as well. Li Kenong said.
"The outside world still has a high evaluation of Li Tie, including many actions against Japan, and everyone suspects that Li Tie is the mastermind behind the scenes, although I also think that Li Tie is unlikely to assassinate Wu Teng Xinyi.
But for some reason, since he helped us escape from Shanghai safely, I have become more and more confident in him.
So in this gamble, I always have a hunch that if he can succeed, Wu Teng Xinyi will definitely not survive July 27. "Zhou Weiren strongly supports Li Tie.
"But I don't think it's possible, if the time stated in the death order passes, when Wu Teng Xinyi relaxes his guard, there is still a chance to assassinate Wu Teng Xinyi.
And I heard that since Li Tie issued a death threat to him, Wu Teng Xinyi's defense force has now more than tripled.
Even the general headache and brain fever do not go to the hospital, and all of them are treated by local Japanese military doctors who have been in the army for more than ten years.
So I think Li Tie is probably going to miss this time. But even if he misses, no one will laugh at him, and if he says that kind of thing in that situation, the content of the joke is relatively high.
However, in case Wu Teng Xinyi can let Li Tie kill him in this case, then Li Tie's danger level in the intelligence departments of various countries will rise sharply.
I believe that since then, no one has dared to make such a joke with Li Tie. Because he really became the king of Hades, let you die on the third watch, and you will never stay until the fifth watch. Li Kenong joked with a smile.
As soon as Li Kenong's words fell, he saw a roar in the distance, and then, he saw a huge plane clinging to the top of the tree spire in the distance and rushing directly to the temporary airstrip.
Liu Hailong, who was lying on the runway, and his orderly immediately jumped up from the runway and ran desperately towards the outside of the runway under the loud reminder of the surrounding soldiers.
Liu Hailong scolded while running: "Why didn't this damn plane land from the sky?" Instead, it flew out of the top of the tree, almost causing the plane to run over me. β
In the distance, Zhou Weiren and Li Kenong found that when the plane had just fallen into the runway, they jumped up from the runway and the two of them quickly dodged the plane.
Zhou Weiren's face was cold, how did he get this bangs, didn't he tell him to drive all the idle people away from all around the runway? Why are people still on the runway? It's really a mess, and I can't discipline him well when I turn around.
Zhou Weiren, Li Kenong, and some party leaders all walked quickly towards the plane, which stopped as it taxied to the end of the runway.
Then the cockpit door of the plane opened, and as soon as Robert jumped off the plane, he shouted in his unique Chinese: "Wow, where is the bar that Boss Li said?" Why did I only see a few thatched huts? β
At this time, the transport door of the plane also opened, and the first to come down were ten fully armed special combat soldiers, who dispersed their guards as soon as they came out, acting very much like the American GIs in later movies. Then there was Chen Geng in casual clothes.
Seeing that Chen Geng really returned safely, the comrades present cheered happily. Zhou Chuanren even stepped forward and quipped:
"Chen Geng, you are a blessing in disguise, there are so many of us, no one has ever taken a plane, you are the first person in our party to take a plane."
Chen Geng smiled helplessly: "Comrade Zhou, I very much hope to give this honor to the other comrades present, whoever of you likes to take it, I don't want to be arrested again." β
"Haha." Chen Geng's words caused a burst of laughter among the comrades present, and then everyone took Chen Geng to the headquarters to return, at this time Zhou Weiren suddenly found that five of the ten special combat team members who got off the plane first also followed Chen Geng.
Zhou Weiren was quite strange, and hurriedly said, thank them for sending people, their task is complete, we are poor in the Soviet District, and there is no reward, so please go back. After going back, someone will naturally reward them more.
But Zhou Weiren's words, these five people didn't seem to hear it, and followed Chen Geng by themselves, as if they wanted to protect Chen Geng all the time, which made Chen Geng cry and laugh.
He only called Zhou Weiren aside, and then whispered softly in Zhou Weiren's ear.
After listening to Chen Geng's explanation, Zhou Weiren also showed an incredible face: "Won't it?" Do the angels really ask for this? β
Chen Geng nodded ugly, and showed Li Tie's handwritten letter to Zhou Weiren, and after Zhou Weiren read it, he shook his head vigorously: "Angel, what kind of person is he?" β
Three days later, 10 members of the special combat team escorting Chen Geng returned to the outskirts of Shanghai under Robert's frantic flight, and then several people carried a large suitcase, got into two military vehicles with the special service of the General Logistics Department of the Nationalist Government, and drove directly into the Golden Tiger Club.
Several people carried the big box into the office of the thousand-tailed scorpion and handed it to Li Tie with their own hands, which was considered to have successfully completed Li Tie's task.
And Li Tie opened the big box, looked at the things in front of him and was amazed, and at the same time vigorously praised Li Kenong and Zhou Weiren for being true to his word, and he sent the escort fee to escort Chen Geng so quickly.
Then Li Tie opened a bottle of red wine and sang happily to himself in the office. Just when Li Tie was still humming happily, the thousand-tailed scorpion and Xu Meiqi came in from outside the door with their children in their arms.
The thousand-tailed scorpion looked at Li Tie's happy hand dancing and looked very strange, and stepped forward to look at the contents of the suitcase, except for some literati Mobao, there seemed to be nothing remarkable.
She casually opened a scroll and read it out slowly: "Yuyuan Spring. In the cold autumn of Changsha's independence, the Xiangjiang River went northΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β· Hey! Li Tie, did you let the cultural relics scammers deceive you?
Although this poem is well written and the words are also the best choice, the paper is too new, and it looks like a modern thing, and these liars are too good at fooling people.
They don't do it anymore, it's too fake, and this payment is still called Mao Runzhi, it's not famous at all, I'll help you throw him away, right? β
The thousand-tailed scorpion just wanted to throw away the poems in his hand, and Li Tie and Xu Meiqi beside him exclaimed loudly at the same time. looked at Li Tie and Xu Meiqi beside him, and they all looked extremely concerned.
The thousand-tailed scorpion strangely slowly put down the poem in his hand, could he be wrong? Is this Mao Runzhi really a contemporary calligrapher? Otherwise, why would they be so nervous?
Li Tie was really afraid that the thousand-tailed scorpion would damage the ink treasure of the leader of the Communist Party who he had come with great difficulty. Xu Meiqi was shocked when the thousand-tailed scorpion thought of the finale.
It turned out that what Li Tie told her that he was a high-ranking member of the party was true, otherwise Mao Weiren would not have been able to send him his own handwritten calligraphy and paintings.
Then seeing the thousand-tailed scorpion slowly put the calligraphy and painting in the box, she was also relieved, and while coaxing the child, she explained to the thousand-tailed scorpion sister:
In the eyes of many people, his calligraphy and paintings are very valuable and the most worthy of collection. So Sister Qian, you must keep it away and don't let outsiders steal it. β
The thousand-tailed scorpion looked at Li Tie suspiciously, and found that Li Tie nodded solemnly. Things have come to this point, and although the thousand-tailed scorpion is strange, it can no longer doubt anything.
She picked up a few more calligraphy and paintings, one named Zhou Xiangyu (Enlai) wrote a seven-character quatrain of the Great River Song to beat Toudong, the writing is good, but the words are very ordinary, as if they were written by young people, or the author was not very old when he wrote this poem.
Well, there is also a pair of words he wrote: "Reading for the rise of China." That's a bit of a bold thing to say.
Then the thousand-tailed scorpion took out a short calligraphy and painting again, she looked at the pair of words and asked Li Tie a little strangely: "Li Tie, those calligraphy and paintings just now, whether it is from the poetry and writing, I can see that it is a good word or a good word, but now this pair of words is so strange."
It's not a poem, it's not a word, it's just a simple sentence, but it sounds very ordinary and harsh, can you explain it to me?"
Seeing the unkind eyes of the thousand-tailed scorpion, although Li Tie muttered in his heart, how dare he be lazy, and immediately answered: "No problem, your husband and I are the most educated, let my husband explain it to you."
Then Li Tie walked in front of the thousand-tailed scorpion, and when he looked at the words in front of him, he was also stunned, not only stunned, but his ears were a little hot, and his face was a little red.
Xu Meiqi saw the conversation between Sister Thousand Tailed Scorpion and Li Tie with her own eyes, and she was also curious about what words were written on it? can make Sister Thousand-Tailed Scorpion so suspicious, and can also make Li Tie, who is always cheeky, have nothing to say.
So Xu Meiqi also came to the front of the thousand-tailed scorpion, looked at an ordinary banner in front of her, the banner was still Mao Runzhi, and Xu Meiqi was also shocked when she saw the content on the banner.
Because there were only a few seven words on the banner: "Li Tie is a good comrade." β
