The time to leave the Tianjin Concession was set by Kong Jie on the fifth day.

This day was the day agreed between Kong Jie and John.

John would use merchant ships to transport a batch of goods produced and ship them to Shanxi for sale.

Kong Jie took advantage of the days before leaving to seize the time to make preparations for all parties.

On the one hand, let the two open-faced businessmen Gao Qiang and Comrade Zhu Xuming, sent by the Tianjin underground party, reach a cooperation agreement with John.

And further familiarize the two parties with the next business cooperation, so as to ensure that Gao Qiang and Zhu Xuming can serve as Kong Jie's agent in the American Concession in Tianjin, and cooperate with John in business.

Gao Qiang and Zhu Xuming followed Kong Jie's explanation, and while cooperating with American businessmen, they began to try to contact some Soviet businessmen.

As for the cash seized from the devil's coffers and bank armies.

Kong Jie handed over a large part of it to Gao Qiang and Zhu Xuming as continued funds for his continued cooperation with American businessman John.

After the follow-up funds were insufficient, Kong Jie would continue to transport funds to Gao Qiang and Zhu Xuming through merchant ships.

The business chains within the Independent Regiment are now getting bigger and bigger, and the follow-up supply of funds is not a problem.

There is also a part of it as a deposit to set up the next business cooperation with John.

In addition, Kong Jie also secretly discussed with John, and after the follow-up business was stable and paralyzed the judgment of the Japanese army, how to carry out arms smuggling and exchanges.

Everything was planned before Kong Jie left.

On the other hand, Kong Jie continued to plan how to rescue the three professors who were guarded by the Japanese army, and secretly took away all the experts, professors and overseas Chinese representatives who needed to be transferred this time.

And on the fourth day, Kong Jie received news through the comrades of the Tianjin underground party, saying that the Jizhong Military Region was because of the sweep of Jizhong not long ago by the Japanese army.

There were quite a few casualties among the troops, and there were many seriously wounded, but the medical level of the Jizhong Military Region was limited, and the medicine was also insufficient, so I wondered if we could transport these wounded to the field hospital where Taihanggen lived for treatment.

The headquarters then gave the order.

Kong Jie was temporarily appointed, and this time he not only had to continue the original task of escorting a group of experts, professors, and overseas Chinese representatives back.

It is also necessary to find a way to bring the seriously wounded of the Jizhong Military Region back to Taihang Genzhen for treatment halfway.

Under the tight time, the Tianjin underground party quickly got in touch with the central Hebei side.

In the end, the time for the meeting between the two sides was set in the early morning of the fifth day.

At that time, the seriously wounded will be prepared in advance, and when the merchant ship arrives, all the wounded will be transported onto the ship.

Of course, in order to conceal his identity, Kong Jie's request is that all the wounded must change into civilian clothes.

……

Outside the concession.

The major banks are still rumoring, and the police, as well as the newly transferred Japanese troops, are always vigilant.

For fear that the robbers against the sky will come again to a rampant robbery.

The Japanese army could not find the robbers who robbed the bank vaults, so they could only shift the contradictions to the military commanders.

Even in the gradual contact between the two sides, the Japanese army found that the planting was too obvious.

But there must be a scapegoat to pull it out, otherwise it will appear that the Japanese army is even more incompetent.

At about four o'clock in the morning of the 5th, the night was not over.

When the two sides met again, talking about the situation faced by the military commander after being framed, Zhou Jianren said: "Since the establishment of our Tianjin underground party, in fact, in addition to the Japanese army, the biggest opponent, the military commander has always squeezed out and suppressed us. ”

"During this period of time, because the Japanese army could not find the robbers, they put the spearhead on the military commander, and the various units of the military command were suppressed, and our covert activities became more and more convenient."

Kong Jie said: "I only hope that through this suppression, the military commander of Tianjin Station can wake up, and the enemy that we have always faced is the Japanese army, not to create a gap internally, let alone secretly communicate with the Japanese army." ”

"I hope so!" Zhou Jianren replied.

At present, Kong Jie and Zhou Jianren are meeting, and it is Kong Jie's upcoming departure from Tianjin on loan, and the last meeting between the two.

"Lao Zhou, after we leave this time, the future operation of Tianjin in all aspects will only depend on your underground party comrades!"

When they parted, the two hands were tightly clasped together, and Kong Jie said earnestly.

Zhou Jianren saluted Kong Jie: "Please rest assured, Commander Kong, all of us underground party members will swear to complete the task!" ”

Kong Jie said: "Lao Zhou, I am relieved to have your words, the next rescue operation is fully handed over to our commando, for the sake of your identity concealment, you don't have to come forward again." ”

"Yes!"

"Take care!"

"Head Kong, take care!"

The two sides parted, and Kong Jie ordered the operation to begin.

The assault team was divided into two actions, and Kong Jie led a team to escort Sun Nianguo and other overseas Chinese representatives, experts and professors, a total of 17 people, to board the ship in advance.

Ye Min, the deputy captain of the commando team, led the rest of the team members to rush to the homes of the three professors and rescued Zhao Guo, Qian Xuezhong, and Chen Dong respectively.

The route, plan, and various preparations for the rescue of the three professors have been prepared for many days, and only the east wind is owed.

Placing the rescue time at 4 o'clock in the morning was also a judgment made by Kong Jie after careful consideration.

It's too early, and after killing the devil's guards, it's easy to startle the snake.

At that time, the sky had not yet dawned, the ferry had not opened, and the merchant ships could not leave the Tianjin concession.

Kong Jie put the time of rescuing the three professors just two hours before departure.

After the three professors were rescued and transferred to the merchant ship, the merchant ship just set off, and by the time the Japanese army found out that the three professors had escaped and came to their senses, the merchant ship had already gone down the river.

Anyway, it is an American merchant ship, as long as the devil can't catch the handle, there is nothing to be done with John and other American businessmen.

On the merchant ship, Kong Jie and his entourage had arrived, and everyone stood on the deck, looking at the sky not far away, with some worry on their faces.

This merchant ship was John's personal merchant ship, and John did not rush to Shanxi this time.

The American merchant in charge of the merchant ship this time was the second-in-command of John's side, and he won John's trust, and his name was Joefuss.

Before leaving, John had a message to Joeforth:

This time, I mainly escorted Mr. Xu and his entourage away, and I just listened to Mr. Xu's instructions in everything.

Kong Jie told John that this time he might have to bring some friends who cooperated with him and leave on a merchant ship together.

John didn't ask much, just nodded and agreed.

"Mr. Xu, aren't your friends here yet?"

Next to Kong Jie, Jollforth asked with a smile, compared to John, his Chinese is much worse, and he speaks with a foreign accent.

However, it was said that the equipment carried by the members of the commando team was actually quite hidden.

It's already summer, and everyone doesn't wear much.

They didn't carry any equipment on weekdays, but each person was equipped with a personal pistol.

After all, this time I went to the Tianjin Concession to do business, and once there was a large-scale exchange of fire on the surface, the commando team was basically not far from extinction.

Therefore, whether it is the armed seizure of the Devil's Bank vault or the rescue of the three professors, it is mainly a secret and swift action.

In this rescue, the actions of the three professors were even more demanding, and they did not let go of a single shot throughout the whole process, solved the devils who guarded the professors, and then rescued the three professors quietly.

As for the true identities of the commandos, and the weapons hidden on their bodies, Jofus was unaware.

What Joorforth noticed was the anxiousness on the faces of Kong Jie's so-called friends, as well as the uneasy looks.

Besides, what kind of friend is this, who has to leave in the middle of the night with the help of a merchant ship?

But John specifically instructed Joeforth:

Mr. Xu's identity is by no means as simple as a Chinese businessman, no matter what he sees or hears along the way, as long as it doesn't affect us Americans, he should have seen nothing at all!

This is our big financier, even if it is to make money, we have to turn a blind eye.

In the face of Joefuss's inquiry, Kong Jie smiled: "It should be there soon." ”

Everyone waited for another twenty minutes, and it was close to six o'clock in the morning, and the sky was already white.

In the field of vision of Kong Jie and his party, a team of people appeared not far away.

Ye Min arrived with the members of the commando team.

Caught in the team were three professors who were rescued by the team members.

"Joe, my friends have arrived." Kong Jie turned to Joeforth and said.

Joforth hurriedly arranged for people to put down the springboard, and Ye Min and his party took the three professors to get on the boat through the springboard.

When the two sides met, Kong Jie took the lead in asking: "Ye Min, the road is dark at night, and there are no accidents on the road, right?" ”

Ye Min shook his head and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, boss, it's going well, let's go more carefully." ”

Kong Jie nodded, and then looked at the three professors, all of whom should be in their forties, with a little gray in their hair.

On the way here, Ye Min had already explained to the three professors about leaving with the help of American merchant ships.

So now is not the time for the two sides to greet each other, the three professors nodded slightly at Kong Jie, then caught in the crowd and stopped talking.

Kong Jie said to Qiao Fus: "Qiao, this time I came to Tianjin to invite some workers and some friends, and now everyone has arrived." ”

"Okay, then let's go, it's almost time for the ferry to open!" Joforth nodded.

On the ferry side, the Japanese have time control over the ferry.

But when the time came, they did not dare to stop the American merchant ships.

After Jobs handed over to the Japanese army, the Japanese army let the merchant ship leave.

As the merchant ship began to move in the river, Kong Jie quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally embarked on the return journey smoothly.

This first task is more than half completed.

The next step is to bring the wounded in Jizhong to the ship after the merchant ship arrives in the Jizhong area and send them back to the base area safely.

On the way, Kong Jie thought to himself, how to find an excuse to explain to Joeforth for a while......
