When the military commander agent rode out on a bicycle, Xiao Junping, the enemy engineer captain of the Eighth Route Army, who was still worried about him, fell into huge trouble.

Xiao Junping followed the two detective agents all the way north, and when he found that the agents had basically lost their tracking targets, he was secretly happy for a while; However, it didn't take long for a familiar roar of three-wheeled motorcycles to sound on Dongguan Street, and then he saw Meng Longsheng, the captain of the detective team, jumping out of the car.

Although he was already familiar with Meng Longsheng, Xiao Junping didn't plan to meet him at this moment, so he dodged and hid in the dark shadow on the gable of a tavern house on the street - the urgent appearance of the captain of the detective team made him feel more and more that the identity of the bicycler man that the spies were tracking was extraordinary.

However, witnessing the increasing number of spies coming in and out of several nearby shops like headless flies, the enemy engineer captain of the Eighth Route Army was almost certain that these guys could not find the person they were looking for!

The question is, who are they chasing? Is it really the Blue Coat Club that Meng Longsheng never forgets? Or is it just for a small group of officers and soldiers of the friendly 391st Regiment Special Service Company who did not have time to withdraw from the city? It seems that it is necessary to find another time to ask Meng Longsheng clearly.

Looking at the watch on his wrist, Xiao Junping decided to go back the same way - the traitor captain surnamed Meng has not come out since he entered the Baoyuan Restaurant, it seems that he is preparing to pretend to be public again, eat and drink for nothing, and he obviously has no need to squat in the dark shadow and wait.

Almost twenty minutes later, Xiao Junping walked back along Dongguan Avenue back to the vicinity of Courtyard 16, where he had suddenly encountered the detective team's agents.

"Staff Officer Xiao, it's been a long time."

Suddenly, a man who came up behind him walked up to a position parallel to him, and spoke a word softly but firmly.

Xiao Junping was shocked and stopped in surprise, while the man who accosted him took advantage of the situation to stand opposite him, almost blocking his way.

Under the dim street lamp, Xiao Junping quickly looked at the man's appearance, but did not recognize his identity.

"I'm sorry, Staff Officer Xiao, you don't know me, I know you - at the headquarters of the 12th Brigade of the Du, you are a captain's staff officer." The other party continued to whisper close at hand, and the two eyes under the brim of his hat were scorching.

Although Xiao Junping was resourceful, he lacked experience in latent work after all, so he didn't take the lead in denying it for a while, but blurted out and asked: "Have you served in the 12th Independent Brigade?" ”

This uninvited person is naturally Zhang Shaonian, the corporal of the 569th Regiment of the 12th Brigade of the Jin Army.

Just now, Zhang Shaonian and his two accomplices followed Xiao Junping anxiously for a long time, and they couldn't understand what medicine was sold in the gourd of this Xiao staff officer, so they couldn't find a chance to make a move. finally looked forward to the other party's return the same way, Zhang Shaonian couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately stepped forward.

At this moment, in the face of the other party's questioning, Zhang Shaonian did not hide it, directly admitting his experience as a soldier in the 569th Regiment of the 12th Independent Brigade, and the details of the staff officer of the brigade headquarters in front of him in this city. His purpose is very clear, that is, to make it impossible for the other party to hide and deny: as long as this Xiao staff officer admits his identity, the next step will be easy.

And it wasn't until this moment that the former staff officer of the Jin Army and the current captain of the enemy engineer team of the Eighth Route Army regretted his first reaction just now, and now he has intuitively felt that the person who came does not seem to be a good type!

Too careless! Because on the way back from the vicinity of Baoyuan Restaurant, he had been thinking about and analyzing the identity of the person who was being pursued by traitor agents, so when the person on the opposite side suddenly called out his position when he served in the 12th Brigade of the Jin Army, he subconsciously regarded the other party as an anti-Japanese comrade. But the tone of the other party's words and tone next indicates that he is very likely to be wrong.

"I don't understand what you're saying, what do you mean when you suddenly block my way on the street?" Xiao Junping finally asked in a cold tone.

Zhang Shaonian couldn't hear the change in his tone, so he didn't give the other party a chance, and went straight to the point: "Staff Officer Xiao, don't be careful, I'm no longer a member of the 12th Brigade alone, just mix and eat in the city." Seeing that Staff Officer Xiao was mixing well in the Silk Village and the No. 16 courtyard in front, he wanted to borrow some from the old chief. You can rest assured, we will leave as soon as we get the money, and we will never reveal your identity as a captain and staff officer to outsiders. ”

Xiao Junping's nerves were tense to the extreme, and this guy had just used the word "we", obviously implying that he was not alone but had accomplices to help him, as a warning to himself not to act rashly.

At this moment, he is in the light, his opponent is in the dark, and it is certainly unwise to act rashly - since he has already mentioned "entanglement", then maybe his intention is really just to seek wealth? In any case, the first thing to do now is to try to stabilize the other party, and then find a helper after getting out safely.

"Do you want to entangle? The account has just opened, and there is a lack of account flow, so I'm afraid it won't help you much. Xiao Junping looked at the left and right as quietly as possible while perfunctory.

"Staff Officer Xiao, this is not enough friends! My brethren have been keeping an eye on the vicinity of the Silk Village for many days, and I know that your account is rich, and that a few leaks from your old fingers will be enough for our brother for a year. It's better for you to take out a hundred or so pieces of ocean and send us away than to let the Japanese copy the shop of the silk village, right? ”

When it came to this, the enemy engineer captain of the Eighth Route Army understood that there was no way to retreat - this guy openly used the name of the Japanese to press himself, and its meaning is self-evident: if he refuses to pay him "100 yuan of ocean" for entanglement, he will go to the Japanese to tell the truth.

A cold sweat broke out on Xiao Junping's back. He didn't attach much importance to his personal safety, but the Meng Longsheng-style scoundrel and his accomplices in front of him had already mastered the situation of Cheng Ruixiang's Silk Village, and then posed a serious threat to the underground intelligence station of the Xu Brigade Detachment of the Eighth Route Army in Wencheng; If it is really taken away by the Japanese puppet because of this, it will not be him Xiao Junping who will be sacrificed alone!

What to do?!

"It seems that Staff Officer Xiao is not a cheerful person," Zhang Shaonian showed impatience in the face of the other party's silence: "There are only a hundred oceans, and they refuse to take it out to solve the disaster?" ”

Seeing that the other party was approaching step by step, Xiao Junping was afraid that the dog would jump off the wall in a hurry, so he responded ambiguously: "Brother, if you are in trouble, it is right to help you with a money field." It's just that if this matter insists on involving the Japanese, then the brother will inevitably be suspected of being a traitor - not to mention that you have also served as a soldier in the national army, the Japanese may not be able to trust you. ”

Unexpectedly, these words made Zhang Shaonian more and more annoyed, he relied on his burly figure, and directly approached the tip of the opponent's nose to the tip of the nose, gritted his teeth and said: "When I was a soldier, I was a bad life, and I still am; Since Staff Officer Xiao said so, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings. I'd like to see if it's really stabbed at the Japanese, is it your bad luck or my bad luck?! ”

Xiao Junping had the experience of hand-to-hand combat with the enemy on the battlefield, and although he did not have special training in combat and assassination like the agents of the military command, he was not afraid of this one-on-one situation at the moment. What made him worry was that he was definitely alone at this time, but this Zhang Shaonian was very likely to have a helper hiding nearby.

Since entering Wencheng and starting to lurk, Xiao Junping has strictly ordered everyone not to carry firearms and knives with them unless they are on urgent missions, so as to prevent their identities from being exposed. In this regard, Chen Xuanzhu, deputy captain of the enemy engineering team, also had a lot of complaints. However, Xiao Junping has repeatedly stressed that everyone's primary task is intelligence work, and to engage in intelligence work, we must first cover ourselves.

But at this moment, the captain of the enemy workers regretted this order he had personally given - he wanted to kill one or even several able-bodied former ruffians on the streets without anyone knowing, which was tantamount to a fool's dream. Don't forget, just now, there were hordes of detective agents roaring down the street.

"Don't follow me to scare the children," he was anxious in his heart, but on the surface, Xiao Junping did not back down: "If you really want money, don't talk about the Japanese - the traitors who have been killed in this city are not one or two!" ”

The former corporal of the Jin army couldn't help but be taken aback, and subconsciously took the initiative to take a half step back. So far, he still hasn't figured out Xiao Junping's latest identity, and the murderous words just now seem to indicate that the other party still has the background of the national military.

However, this timidity only lasted for a few seconds, and Zhang Shaonian was ruthless again - he and his two poor buddies quit their livelihoods together, where is there a way out? You have to go up! If you fail, it's a big deal to lose your life, once you succeed, wealth will come from danger!

Thinking of this, Zhang Shaonian suddenly raised his hand and slapped his slap twice, this pre-agreed code finally called out the two companions who had been hiding behind the tree.

One in front and two behind, the three guys were in the shape of a zigzag, surrounding the former Jin Army intelligence staff officers.

"Staff Officer Xiao is toasting and not eating and drinking, then good, we will fulfill you, let's go to the Japanese together! If I hand you over to the Japanese, I will get a reward. ”

Seeing Zhang Shaonian raise one arm and point to the cross street behind him while speaking, Xiao Junping understood that he was referring to the headquarters of the Japanese Hagiwara Brigade that he had moved to the No. 16 courtyard to monitor. Undoubtedly, these guys have made careful preparations for this day.

Hard fighting is absolutely impossible, Xiao Junping decided to use outwitting. To this point, it was necessary to rely on the strength of the comrades of the underground intelligence station, although he was quite reluctant to do so.

"Okay, if you're good, let's break it off without hurt—you want a lot of oceans, and I can't carry it with me. Come back to the store with me to get as much as you want, and you will fly away after taking the money, so that you and I will not interfere with the river water from then on. ”

When Zhang Shaonian heard this, a burst of ecstasy surged in his heart: It really didn't take any effort to get it! However, this Staff Officer Xiao's attitude was hard first and then soft, and he must guard against fraud.

"Okay, I'll go to your store with you alone to get the ocean, you can't rely on the amount." In the past, the corporal of the Jin army glanced behind Xiao Junping with his eyes: "Also, my two brothers are waiting here, as long as you dare to cheat, they will immediately run to the small building of the Japanese headquarters and tell you the secret!" ”
