The sky was bright, and the sentries on the docks of the Japanese Navy adjacent to the factory were startled, the broken ship that had not been rusted and painted was broken, and it came back unconsciously, and the Japanese soldiers thought that the quality must be not up to par, and where the water leaked during the trial voyage, it came back to repair. Because of these preconceived ideas, they did not report the matter further to their superiors.

Zhang Guangcai came to the factory with a bitter gourd face, the suspension notice posted yesterday was still there, he walked through the empty factory alone, and saw at a glance that the Meteor that Lin claimed to have sold was back again.

He cautiously walked over and saw that the mysterious man under Lin and Brother Ma were talking by the slipway, and the man handed Brother Ma a note. The two shook hands, and Brother Ma left immediately, Brother Ma didn't say hello when he saw Zhang Guangcai, rolled his eyes, passed over to the side, and left directly to the side door.

Regardless of why Brother Ma has the key to the side door of the factory, where did the Meteor hide for 2 days and come back, Zhang Guangcai's mind was already in a mess, but he felt that Lin Xiuxuan and his gang of people were all powerful.

Shu Ping calmly walked towards Zhang Guangcai, who opened his mouth wide, wondering if there would be a task given to him?

"Commissioner Lin asked me to bring you a message, your performance is very good, and Shangfeng is very satisfied with you."

"It should be, it's a brother's share."

"Your brother-in-law is fine, don't worry about that."

"Understood, understood."

Zhang hurriedly took off his top hat, nodded and replied, he didn't know what kind of mold he had poured, and he had a peak somehow. Before today, he had only spoken a few words to Shu Ping, but he had peeked at Shu Ping with a strange glowing book (tablet) in his hand, and he could see at a glance what modern technology on the beach was about to stay away, but he really didn't understand such things, so he stayed away from Shu Ping.

"Don't be afraid, things in Shanghai will pass soon."

"Let me dare to ask, what will happen when you leave?"

"We will arrange for you to evacuate Shanghai, and when the Japanese fail, Commissioner Lin will naturally ensure that you come back to receive the shipyard. For a day or two, you will have to worry about continuing to deal with the Japanese here. ”

"Understood, understood."

Zhang Guangcai left the slipway with a continuous sound. He no longer had any extra choices, although he could guess that Song Jiang was on that ship, but after Lin and his gang showed so many means, they couldn't see any other way out except cooperation.

Lu Dacheng, who was 90 kilometers away, had just received instructions from Lin and began to move towards Zhangjiagang in concealment, Lin said that someone would answer at that time, and then hand over people to the nearby New Fourth Army, and if he met Hu Yuexin or the people he sent, he could take advantage of their debt to him and make further requests, including using their strength to transfer Zhang Guangcai's family, and inquire about the scarce resources needed for the next step. There are some things that Shanghai cannot find at all, and it is necessary to resort to the power of the underground party.

Taking advantage of the morning mist on the river, the boat slowly moved up the river. There are forces from all sides in this area, so the puppet flag on the ship is gradually becoming less secure, so we must be particularly vigilant. Ma Qiang wore a pocket and stood on the bow of the boat against the river breeze, responsible for guarding.

He saw that in the old fortress on the shore, several Japanese soldiers were condescendingly, poking their heads here, seeing the puppet military flag on the ship, and waving to them.

This area was the defense area of the Japanese army's elite 33rd Division, which was responsible for the defense of the Yangtze River along the line from Shanghai to Nanjing, but they did control only a few strongholds along the river, and the naval gunboats on the river barely choked the transportation on the river (it was still easy for the guerrillas to move across the Yangtze River).

Due to the lack of troops, the vast area on the north and south banks was not effectively controlled. In addition to big cities such as Shanghai and Nanjing, the vast rural areas are the guerrilla areas of the Nationalist Army and the Chinese Communists.

"Look, comrade, it's the Jiangfang Fortress," a young woman said as she walked up to Ma Qiang. She was a prisoner rescued from the enemy headquarters. The cells of the Japanese army headquarters were very small, but they were also divided into men's and women's prisons, and she was the only female prisoner among them. I learned last night that her name is Shi Zhihua, a member of the underground party, and when she went to the base area of the Careful Thinking Army in northern Jiangsu to buy medicine in the concession, she was betrayed by a traitor and was caught by the Japanese, and she was already on the list of Japanese soldiers, which was originally scheduled to be executed within 2 days.

"You've been here?"

"At 813 o'clock, I followed my classmates to this area to the labor army, and later came to Jiangyin, watching 8 cruisers and dozens of cargo ships of China Merchants sinking together."

"It must have been a spectacular scene."

"No, I think it's magnificent, I just remember it was a hot day, but I was shivering."

"Shivering?"

"I think it's ...... to sink without a fight Quite discouraging. ”

"But the self-sinking warship did play a role in blocking the enemy?"

Ma Qiang turned his face.

"Hehe, that's just self-deception, whether it's sinking a warship or digging the Yellow River, it can't stop the iron hooves of the invaders, that's the most negative way. Only the bloody nature of desperate combat can stop the enemy. ”

"So you joined the New Fourth Army?"

"By the way, comrade, I haven't asked yet, which part of you are?"

"We ...... Of course, it's my own. ”

Ma Qiang's old unit could be traced back to a certain unit of the New Fourth Army, so he didn't feel that he was lying.

Shi Zhihua didn't ask, she heard someone coughing in the cabin, and turned to take care of the wounded and sick, among the people rescued at night, there were several people who had been tortured and dying, and when they were at the last moment, they were thrown into the truck by Ma Qiang, and then bumpy all the way, which was really bearable.

The fog gradually cleared, and the ship gradually moved away from the fortress, and according to the telegrams of all parties monitored by drones, it was past the Japanese-occupied area and entered the area where the forces of all parties were intertwined.

Lu Dacheng, who was at the helm, received Lin's instructions again, asking him to find a tributary called the Wangyu River, go up the Shuo River, sail 2.5 kilometers, and find a place called Haiyu Village, where there will be people connecting. As for whether it is Hu Yuexin, I don't know yet, but Ma Qiang has seen Hu Yuexin, so he can ask him to contact him.

Lu Dacheng avoided the eyes and ears of the other people on the boat, secretly accepted the navigation information of the drone, found the fork of the river, and then the boatswain ripped off the puppet military customs flag, where it was no longer useful.

Ma Qiang stood on the bow of the boat and looked into the distance. Those who were rescued also got out of the cabin and stretched out their arms and legs when they learned that they had entered the ground in Changshu, and it was obvious that the danger had passed.

Since the landing in Hangzhou Bay, the members of 419 broke away from the Japanese-occupied area for the first time and came to the anti-Japanese base in southern Jiangsu as the center.

From a distance, I saw a village near the river in front of me, and under the big tree at the entrance of the village, two children were standing here, looking here, and one of them was holding a red tassel gun.

Seeing a ship coming, one of them immediately ran away, apparently reporting the news. The other looked at Ma Qiang warily.

"This is our territory."

It was Shi Zhihua who unknowingly came to Ma Qiang's side.

Ma Qiang snorted and didn't say much.

"However, you still have to be careful, the enemy plainclothes team will often come to carry out sneak attacks."

"Well, the Japanese army is indeed very close to here."

"It's not just the Japanese army, but also the recalcitrant troops nearby."

Lu Dacheng stopped the boat and waited for a while, a few people came to the village, and one of them, Ma Qiang, still knew him.

Without waiting for the people on the shore to move the springboard, Ma Qiang jumped onto the shore and greeted Hu Yuexin, who had a one-sided relationship. The four hands of the two were clasped tightly together.

"Hehe, I'll just say that you're a big man who is not suitable for this business, Boss Lin doesn't listen, hehe."

Hu Yuexin's opening remarks made Ma Qiang blush.

"But I still want to thank you for saving so many of our comrades."

"The anti-Japanese united front is all my own people."

Ma Qiang said politely.

Hu Yuexin spoke very measuredly, and did not inquire deeply, he beckoned the others behind him to put down the gangplank and let the people on the boat go ashore, he had already prepared a few stretchers here, and several of them were carried on the stretchers, and the rest walked to a large courtyard in the village together. The children standing guard at the entrance of the village were still standing there, and Ma Qiang peeked and found that the militia was deployed around, and it seemed that the atmosphere was not right.

"Mr. Hu, when I came, I saw that the Japanese stronghold was only 7 or 8 kilometers away from here."

"The Japanese are not a source of evidence, we can all know their every move." Hu Yuexin walked to the door of the big house and suddenly stopped, not leaving, "Mr. Lin, are you still in Shanghai?" ”

"I just came out, and I don't know where he is."

Ma Qiang didn't know how to answer, so he simply avoided it.

"What are you going to do next? I could have taken refuge here for a few days, but with the new situation, I don't have any insurance. To tell you the truth, just in the morning, some Taihu bandits disguised themselves as beggars and entered the village to reconnoitre. Fortunately, our district team was vigilant and caught it properly, but it hasn't been tried yet, I don't know which part it is, and it is estimated that it will retaliate. Here is also ready for transfer. ”

"Oh, I see."

"You haven't eaten, come on, go into the house, we have prepared some dry food, but the situation is urgent, we may have to take it on the road to eat."

"Serious?"

"Yes, the waterways here extend in all directions, in fact, I am not afraid of the Japanese, but there are several stubborn armies in Taihu Lake, which are also long in waterways, and the three theaters of war are currently causing friction*, I think you should also know these situations."

Ma Qiang knew the truth that if he said too much, he would lose, and he didn't dare to take on this topic that was easy to expose his position, so he could only remain silent.

Everyone walked towards the compound, and sure enough, there were militiamen with guns on their backs, moving all kinds of things to wooden boats in the river. Ma Qiang secretly observed that the militiamen were carrying rifles, but the bullet belts were very deflated.

Lu Dacheng was not familiar with everyone, walked behind, just entered the courtyard, and saw a militiaman in a corner holding a bayonet on the middle official, escorting 3 ragged, skinny guys out of the house, one of them still lived on a crutch, it seemed that his legs were not good.

He only felt that this kid's face was full of black mud, but there were some familiar eyes, and he hadn't recognized it yet, and the child shouted: "Uncle, it's me, I'm seven catties." ”
