In a blink of an eye, the gunfire of the battle ushered in another spring of battle.

Every season, that is, before the green yarn tent is raised, the enemy always has to carry out a big "clean-up" in the city, and then carry out a "clean-up". This year, of course, there will be no exception - no, a large-scale "dragnet" "clean-up" has begun in a vigorous manner.

Long before the enemy's "purging of the city" began, the military and civilians in various parts of our country made full preparations in accordance with the instructions of their superiors. After the enemy's "clearing of the city," the warriors of the underground party in Shanghai of the Binhai Naval District, in coordination with the militia of various districts, relied on the impregnable wall of the broad masses of the people to attack in succession and collect intelligence on the enemy everywhere.

The enemy, due to passivity everywhere, suffered heavy casualties and suffered heavy casualties. Later, they added more people and changed their tactics, bent on catching our underground party. But? In order to meet the needs of the greater strategic arrangements of the higher authorities and the needs of the overall situation, the comrades of our underground party action team have broken up into parts and begun to disperse their activities in accordance with the spirit of the new instructions of the higher authorities.

The enemy could not find the action team, so they were so anxious that they ran around with mad dogs.

The comrades of the hoe squad and the underground party, while scattering in various streets to carry out mass work in depth, while working, and on the other hand, taking advantage of the favorable opportunity of the dispersed activities, once again engaged in a battle to collect copper and iron and other materials. At the same time, he also cooperated with the progressive personnel and the youth gang on the streets and docks to deal with the enemy's "city clearing team".

That night.

A bright moon hangs in the heart of the sky. The sky was full of stars and blinked.

Song Shaliu, Shao Zhuquan, Dong Jinliang, Wang Tao, and Gao Yulin, under the cover of night, stepped on the moonlight to the Temple of Emperor Huang Daxian on Xinguang Road.

Song Shaliu and Shao Brewquan walked like him, step by step steady and powerful.

When they and three others entered a temple courtyard, some workers and citizens were ready and waiting for them. Shao Brewing Quan patted Wang Zhonghao's shoulder who was walking towards him and asked, "How is it?" Are you all set? ”

"It's all set!"

Wang Zhonghao, an underground worker in Shanghai, turned to one side, pointed to the steps of the main hall and said, "Comrade! You see......"

Song Shaliu and Shao Brewing Quan nodded and smiled, and walked towards the steps of the main hall.

On the steps of the main hall, there are more than 20 special baskets on the dock. Each basket was filled with copper and iron: these scraps of copper and rotten iron were collected by the anti-Japanese mass organizations in the streets. Today, according to the actual situation of the shortage of cargo ships, Shao Brewquan wants to send this batch of military supplies to a secret point and transport them away on the ship.

Therefore, Song Shaliu, Shao Brewquan and others checked the baskets, and then selected more than 20 strong men from the citizens to carry the baskets and send copper and iron. These people, all anti-Japanese activists, were happily willing to undertake this glorious task.

As a result, the convoy was immediately formed.

In this basket-picking transport team, there is Wang Lao Liu, one of the hundreds of people sent by Song Jiliu to work at the Shanghai wharf. Shao Brewing Quan saw that he had two big eyes and was looking around vigorously, so he asked, "Sixth, what are you looking for?" ”

Wang Laoliu could already see from Shao Brewquan's expression that Comrade Shao had already guessed his mood. Therefore, he did not answer Shao Brewquan's inquiry head-on, but asked Shao Brewquan rhetorically: "Comrade Shao, didn't you say that there were old Song and other comrades to escort you?" ”

"yes!"

"Why can't you see them?"

"Who are they?"

"The old hoe team and the old Song of the underground workers!"

Gao Yulin rushed over in one step, pulled the sixth child's shoulder, patted his chest again, and asked, "Who is this non-hoe team?" He gave the old man another handful: "You guy! The eye sockets are so big! Can't even see such a big living person as me? ”

Wang Lao Liu stuck out his tongue and smiled. After a little sinking, he went to ask Shao Brewing Spring again: "Comrade Shao, is there anything else?" ”

"What?"

"The people who escorted us!"

"And, of course!"

"Where?"

"Is it right here?"

"Here?"

"yes!" Shao Brewing Quan smiled lightly: "The four of us don't count?" ”

"This?" Wang Lao Liu was taken aback, "Ah! ”

Lao Shao knew what he was shocked? But knowingly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Lao Wu stretched out four fingers, raised them to Shao Brewing Spring and said, "Just the five of you?" ”

Shao Brewing also stretched out four fingers, raised them in front of Wang Lao Wu and said, "Are there still five people?" ”

Shao Brewing Spring teased him, and people all laughed. Shao Brewing Quan said with a smile: "There are fewer people, and the advantage of fewer people is that the first is that the target is not large, it is easy to move, and it is not easy to be discovered by the enemy......

While Shao Brewing Spring was speaking, several worker pickets arrived.

Dong Jinliang looked at the neatly armed pickets, his heart was high, he straightened his chest, stood in front of the pickets and said loudly: "The current enemy is crazy again, this time to deliver goods is different from the previous times, the risk is very great!" It is precisely because of the high risk that Leader Shao wants to personally announce the escort! Dong Jinliang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Picket comrades! Stand up if you are not afraid of death! ”

"I'm not afraid of death!"

The first to speak was the underground party Ye Wenjin. He followed Dong Jinliang's example, straightened his chest, took a big step forward with a snort, and stood straight opposite Dong Jinliang. Then, the rest of the pickets learned Ye Wenjin's posture again, and stood up one after another: "I'm not afraid of death!" ”

"I'm not afraid of death!"

"I'm not afraid of death!"

Dong Jinliang began to deploy. He first named a few pickets, and then said, "You guys, be with me and Comrade Wang!" ”

"Yes!"

"Get ahead of the convoy!"

"Yes!"

Dong Jinliang turned to Ye Wenjin again: "You take the rest of the picket comrades and Comrade Shao together!" Responsible for covering after breaking! ”

"Yes!"

Ye Wenjin was about to open his mouth, probably wanting to ask to step forward. Dong Jinliang didn't allow him to say it, and said: "I am the order of Chief Shao that I conveyed!" ”

His sentence was really strong, and he sealed Ye Wenjin's mouth. Seeing this, Shao Brewing Quan walked over with a smile, gently patted Ye Wenjin on the shoulder and said, "Old comrade, do you have an opinion?" You can say it! ”

Ye Wenjin said heartily: "No! ”

Shao Brewing Quan waved his arm and issued an order: "Go!" ”

Subsequently, Dong Jinliang was the first to rush out of the gate of Wong Tai Sin Temple. The rest of the people, one after the other, followed by the other, and all went out. In this way, this mighty and powerful transport team embarked on the road.

Soon after they entered the alley, they disappeared into the night, leaving behind them a creaking sound. In the sound of the stacked poles, there was also the occasional sound of metal crashing.

At noon the next day, Song Shaliu and Shao Brewquan saw that the people who were picking up goods were really tired, so they ordered everyone to go into a broken temple to rest, rest and breathe, and let people use this time to take out the dry food they carried, beat the sharp, and make up for the pads, so that they could grow some strength and continue to move forward.

Who knows, people are resting and eating, and Wang Tao, who is on guard, suddenly came to Shao Brewingquan's face, and said with a little surprise: "Oh no! ”

"What's the matter?"

"The enemy is coming!"

Shao Brewquan, who was using his break time to tell people the story of the Eighth Route Army's fight against devils in the coastal area, heard Wang Tao say this, so he immediately stopped the story and came to a high platform outside the broken door. He poked his head out of the low wall and looked in the direction pointed out by Wang Tao, only to see behind a forest more than a mile away from here, a large group of enemy men and horses had turned.

Judging by its movements, the enemy has not yet found any targets.

This group of infantry rode forward and rushed towards the enemy army, and there were many of them, and they kicked into the yellow dust.
