Half a month later, on a rainy afternoon, Mr. Gu Liuer and Song Jiliu, now nicknamed Song Boss, went to a contact point of the Beiping Municipal Party Committee. When he wiped the rain on his face with his left hand and was about to enter the gate, he was blocked by a worker-like man outside the gate and asked, "Where are you from?" What are you doing here? "Obviously a sentry tone.

"Northside." Mr. Gu replied briefly, "Come to find Lao Wang." He pointed to the door to the north.

As soon as he heard that he was coming from the small Japanese occupation in the north, the boss of the sentry with wide eyes stared at the three comers intently, and asked coldly: "Which old king are you looking for?" Is there something to do with him? ”

"His name is Wang Xueming, and he is our old friend! We were here the other day! Speaking of this, Mr. Gu waited until the three of them laughed together.

At this time, a man carrying a shovel came from a dark place on the side, he looked at Mr. Gu, as if he knew him, and said very kindly: "Are you here to find Secretary Wang?" He's in there, and I'll take you there! ”

"No, I know how to get around." As he spoke, Mr. Gu led Mr. Liu and Boss Song into Wang Xueming's door.

When they had entered, the man with the shovel said softly to the watchman, "Don't you know them?" The person talking to you is the head of our Beiping Left League, and the two people behind are the people who sent the money a few days ago. ”

"Are they the hoe team that killed the little Japanese officers and robbed the little devil steamer?" The sentry asked, glaring into larger eyes.

"Yes, I saw them when they came that day. I heard that they are the heroes of the anti-Japanese army personally transferred by Secretary Wang! ”

"What a bunch of great guys!" The sentry said, "They come out." I'll have to take a good look at it so that I can open my eyes! ”

As soon as Mr. Gu saw Wang Xueming, he smiled and said, "When did you, the big secretary, have such a big shelf!" We've been interrogated by your secret sentry for most of the day, and this place really smells like an 'underground command post'! ”

Wang Xueming found three old clothes, asked them to change them, and replied with a smile: "Because this place in Beiping is not very peaceful, and the little Japan said that they would fight it, and the Kuomintang reactionaries attacked us again. That's an order! ”

Then, the young secretary of Peking took the three men to a secluded room, took out a letter from his waist, and said to them:

"The Hebei Provincial Party Committee has sent a letter. The higher authorities praised your courageous actions in killing the villains, robbing the military and civilian supplies, and assisting in the rebuilding of the Beiping Left League, and hoped that you would make persistent efforts to make new contributions to the early recovery of the national territory and the early defeat of the little devils. Based on your current situation, your superiors think that you should start professional cover immediately, but what kind of career should you engage in? ......"Everyone is thinking.

"Right in front of our Beiping Left League, wouldn't it be nice to build a steamed bread processing plant?" Wang Xueming suggested.

"Yes!" Boss Song said, "I'm also thinking about it, I'll discuss it with everyone when I go back." ”

After returning to the residence, that night, Song Jiliu conveyed the instructions of his superiors to the big guys, and they immediately studied how to carry them out. On the main body of professional cover, Song Jiliu has long been confident, and said to Xu Yunduo, Qi Wanhong and other backbones:

"I think we will open a steamed bun shop and a tofu processing factory outside this gate, so that we can take care of each other, produce while 'sentry', and do a good job in defending the Left Federation and producing 'self-help' work, this is called killing multiple birds with one stone, and this industry is not very useful to learn, any of us will!"

Listening to Song Jiliu excitedly talking about opening a store and running a factory, Qi Wanhong, the director of the "economy" in the team, said: "It's a good thing to open a store and a factory, but what about the cost? ”

"What to do? Anyway, we can't get money out of our pockets," Boss Song said with certainty, "Only if we 'borrow' from the little devil and get a big deal hard, the capital will not be a problem." ”

"No matter how big the difficulty is, as long as our Boss Song is here, there is nothing that cannot be solved." Mr. Liu said with a smile, "Now I have to wronged your left and right hands Xu Yunduo and Qi Wanhong, let the second general go to Chengde County to inquire about the news, pay more attention to the vehicles, and greatly engage him when there is an opportunity, our store and factory have capital." In this business, there are capable people in our team, and they will be foolproof. ”

"yes, just do it!" Xu Yunduo said.

"Then, please talk about the situation in Chengde County!"

When it comes to the situation in Chengde City, Mr. Gu is too familiar. Before the war, he had been there for a few days, and the little devil came to Beiping to engage in revolutionary activities, although he was not mixed there, but there were many acquaintances in Chengde City, so he often went there.

Since joining the Left League, he has not dared to go. There were several comrades of the Left League, and since their homes were near Chengde, they would often sneak home, so he often heard the news of Chengde City.

Mr. Xiangu looked at a few comrades-in-arms and said without thinking: "There are two brigades of little devils living in Chengde County, two squadrons of little devils living in the county seat, and there is also a puppet army brigade that has not been established for a long time. ”

"Oh, that's what happened!" Following Yanagido.

Mr. Liu continued: "In the spring of 1933, when the Japanese army invaded and occupied Rehe, Matsui, the head of the Chengde detachment of the special service of the Kwantung Army Intelligence Corps, brought the Mongolian traitor Li Shouxin from Chaoyang to Chengde, recruited four or five hundred puppet troops, equipped with some Japanese soldiers, led by Li Shouxin, under the banner of the Inner Mongolian Volunteer Army, and went to Zhangjiakou to instigate the establishment of the Simon puppet autonomous government. ”

Xu Yun slapped his thigh: "Kill them!" ”

Mr. Liu glanced at Xu Da and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is a chance for you to kill more enemies!" In addition, a few days ago, many military vehicles came from the north, most of them carrying devils, ammunition, and food, and gathered here. Chengde City was full of little devils, and later advanced to our Beiping. I heard that it was arranged for the self-made of North China. Now the devil is overhauling fortifications in the southern part of Chengde County, and he is arresting people everywhere every day. The county town is also arresting people to repair artillery towers and grain depots and expand foreign banks. ”

Xiang Xiaodun stepped forward and interjected: "Then him first and improve the food for everyone!" ”

"Good!" The Way.

After hearing this, Mr. Liu sighed: "Many people are injured every day on these construction sites, either they are tired or injured......

"Is the old foreign company still open for business? How far is that place from the enemy's quarters? Song Jiliu asked.

"Open for business! The old foreign company was almost as far away as two squadrons of devils and a squadron of puppet troops, and they were all far from each other. ”

"Can we send someone to Chengde City?"

"It will work! A fireman surnamed Li lives in the county seat, and he often sneaks back! ”

"Great! If we can get a clear picture of the situation there, it will not be a problem to improve the cost of food and business! ”

In order to complete this task more confidently, Boss Song discussed with Mr. Liu. At night, he brought Xu Yunduo and Qi Wanhong to him, and asked him to go to Chengde County with Huofu surnamed Li to reconnoitre, because Qi Wanhong could speak Japanese, and they were all available in Chengde, which was heavily guarded, which was very beneficial to this operation.

The next day, Xu and Qi dressed up and set off with Li Huofu to reconnoitre.

Three days later, on the night, Xu Yunduo and Qi Wanhong came back from the county seat to reconnoitre, and reported the enemy's situation to Mr. Sheng, Mr. Song and Mr. Liu: "There are only twelve devils and twelve puppet soldiers who take care of the foreign company, they live in a large courtyard, and there is a post at night. ”

"Good! Just do it there! Song Jiliu clapped his hands and said.

Qi Wanhong then introduced: "When I went to Chengde County, I passed by Zhutouling Mountain, and I happened to meet my distant cousin Deng Yufen who had just returned home from the county seat. ”

"Why didn't you do anything else?" Mr. Liu asked.

"In order to be more sure, we still entered the county seat again, and when we encountered a devil military vehicle, we pretended to be a ghost wounded soldier, got on the military vehicle, and successfully entered the county seat of Chengde. The devil and the puppet army lived in a small courtyard in a large compound, and we looked around it twice, and then pretended to be a signal soldier and took the devil's army car and walked most of the distance. Wan Hong added.

Boss Song Jiliu listened to the situation and slapped the table, "Okay!" Do it now! ”

"Do you think it's going to be?" Chief of Staff Liu, who is now the small head of the Beiping Left League, asked very calmly.

"Is it feasible to disguise the wounded soldiers according to Qi Wanhong's method?" Following Yanagido.

"The little devil's troop number is not clear, so it is a bit risky; At the same time, this operation, we also have to bring a local person in, on the one hand, let them see; At the same time, they are also familiar with the internal situation, and if they miss, they will have a place to hide. They are not good at martial arts, most of them have no combat experience, and there are not too many people who pretend to be wounded soldiers. Mr. Liu said.

"Good! That's it! ”

Mr. Liu said: "This is the first battle of the hoe team to Beiping, which can play a deterrent and supervisory role in the Kuomintang diehards in Beiping, and can also play an encouraging role in the anti-Japanese resistance in Beiping and even the whole country. ”

"Please rest assured, the leader will not disappoint everyone! Now I'll lead the team in! Song Jiliu said.

"Just deal with these boys, do you still need to go out in person as a captain?" Mr. Liu hurriedly said, "You and Mr. Gu are at home, or I'll lead the team!" ”

Mr. Gu: "I agree with Mr. Liu's opinion that Jiliu stayed. Another pick Xu Yunduo, Qi Wanhong, Xiang Xiaodun, Xiang Erli, and Peng Dacun to go. Wu Longfa, the person responsible for the security of the Beiping Left League, heard that he was going to enter the county seat of Chengde to give them an outlet, and he also tried to bring five of his colleagues there. Mr. Gu and Mr. Liu agreed. They plus Wu Longfa and six others, a total of 12 people, under the command of Mr. Liu and Wu Longfa.
