Chapter 6: From Robber to Commander
(Comments: This is a long counter-espionage novel written against the backdrop of my neighbor.) Many people have seen the first draft and generally think it is wonderful. And the author has adapted it into a forty-two-episode TV series, and is negotiating with several film and television companies, hoping to bring it to the screen one day. )
After the defeat of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War in 1937, Hu Mingkang, who was originally doing business in Shanghai, and his brother Hu Mingren abandoned business and returned to their hometown.
In the early morning of November 28, 1944, as soon as the sky was bright, people were awakened in a dream by a burst of chickens and dogs, a company of Japanese soldiers came to invade Xukou Town, Suzhou, as soon as they entered the people's houses, the Japanese army grabbed chickens and grabbed things, and before the Japanese army had time to be proud, the gunfire on the periphery of the village suddenly rang out, and they were attacked head-on by Hu Mingkang's troops, who had already been ambushed.
A Japanese soldier carrying two old hens was about to go out proudly, but was shot head-on and immediately fell. But when a bullet came, Hu Mingkang's brother Hu Mingren was unfortunately shot and killed.
Hu Mingkang held Hu Mingren's body, "Brother! Tears flowed down, his teeth were gritted, and the hatred of the country and the family came to Hu Mingkang together, and he desperately picked up the machine gun in the hands of the brothers around him and shot fiercely at the devil. After an hour of fierce fighting, a company of Japanese troops was almost completely wiped out.
This incident made the local Japanese garrison Kameda Osa very annoyed.
In a traditional Chinese building, the room is full of traditional Chinese furniture, and a portrait of the emperor hangs on the front wall. Burn me! Burn me! Burn the entire Sanshan Island to me! It's all dead, it's dead. ”
At this moment, the doorman came in and announced: "Report to Dazuo! Someone from the Sanshan Island Security Corps asks to meet! ”
Kameda made a move: "Huh? Let them in! ”
After hearing the news that the Japanese army was going to burn down Sanshan Island, the Sanshan Defense Regiment sent Li Binglin, a backbone who was quite influential in the local area, to go to Dongshan Town to find the Japanese army Kameda, and at the same time, by the way, they also handed over threatening letters written in Japanese by two Japanese prisoners of war under Hu Mingkang.
Kameda took the letter handed over by the person and looked at it, only to see that it was written: "Your Excellency Kameda, I heard that you threatened to burn down Sanshan Island, then, I, Hu someone, am by no means a vegetarian, and I will resolutely accompany you to the end, if you go to Sanshan Island in the morning, I will go to Mudu Town in the afternoon, and cut off your head as a urinal. I do what I say. "The last payment was Hu Mingkang.
Kameda read the letter with an angry face. "Bag! This Hu Mingkang's tone is not small, this is the shame of our Imperial Japanese soldiers! I'll cut off your head first! Drawing the command knife with both hands, a wave of anger. He added: "Brothers, get me some boats and go to the 'Three Mountains Island'!" It's all dead, it's all dead! ”
"Sanshan Island" is in the middle of Taihu Lake, surrounded by lakes, to go to the island, you must use a boat to go there. Kameda knew in his heart that you Hu Mingyasu only had dozens of people with seven or eight guns, and he sent two platoons of troops, which was more than enough. So, I got a few boats nearby and crossed the Taihu Lake to the island. Who knew that most of Hu Mingkang's subordinates were fishermen, they knew the environment here, and the water nature was good, and the two platoons of devils had just gotten on the boat, and suddenly, from under the reeds, a group of people came out, overturned all the boats carrying the Japanese devils, and poured all those Japanese devils into the Taihu Lake like dumplings. When Kameda and the rescue team arrived, they saw the corpses of his brothers dripping from the lake. Like a mad dog, Kameda held a command knife and shouted frantically towards Taihu Lake: "You Hu Mingkang, you are very bad!" ”
These two incidents are rumored to be good stories in the local area, and the Japanese devils are also terrified when they mention Hu Mingkang.
Hu Mingkang also has strict discipline for his brothers: first, "rabbits do not eat the grass next to the nest", and second, kill the rich and help the poor. Once, once, the red-nosed Ah San and a few of his subordinates were bored, and went to a farmer's chicken coop in a neighboring village to catch two chickens and drink wine, and the hot chickens had been put on the table, just when Hu Mingkang came in, he pointed to the chickens on the table and said, "Where did this chicken come from?" ”
The red-nosed Ah Er said with a hippie smile: "The chickens were caught by a few of us at Zhang Laosi's house next door, they are all old hens, and they taste good." ”
Hearing this, Hu Mingkang didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, stretched out his hand and "snapped" a slap in the face, hitting the red-nosed Ah Er's face, "Bastard!" You have great skills, you have great skills, why don't you go and rob banks? Why don't you grab something from the Japanese? Send me back! ”
He insisted that the red-nosed Ah San add two pieces of ocean to the cooked chicken and send it back to Zhang Laosi's family, and asked them to compensate Zhang Laosi, but Zhang Laosi was at a loss, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, the chicken is my own ......."
In the autumn of 1944, Hu Mingkang was appreciated by Gu Zhutong, and Gu was reorganized into the commander of the "Loyal and Righteous Salvation Army Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force in Taihu Lake in Northern Zhejiang" and the deputy of the Major Regiment. One day, they were training in Tianmu Mountain, and one day, he was in the office of his master Gu Zhutong, and not long after he sat down, a person came in.
"Come on! Come! Come! Let me introduce you, this is Major Instructor Song, and this is Commander Hu of the 'Anti-Japanese Guerrillas of Taihu Lake in Northern Zhejiang' of the 'Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army'. Gu Zhutong pointed to Instructor Song and Hu Mingkang who came in.
At the same time, they stood up to Gu Zhu and made a military salute, "Yes!" The interests of the party-state are always above all else! ”
Then, Instructor Song turned to Hu Mingkang and said, "I am fortunate to have a good meeting, and I will ask the commander to take care of me in the future!" A hand reached out to Hu Mingkang.
Hu Mingkang smiled and said: "Where, where! Instructor Song is young and promising, worthy of being the elite of the party-state, the pillar of the party-state, daunting, and has a bright future. ”
Instructor Song continued: "Where, Commander Hu's reputation for resisting Japan has long been heard, and I have to ask the commander for more guidance in the future." ”
Later, they also had many interactions, on the training ground, Hu Mingkang also witnessed the young instructor wearing a set of white sportswear, the style of beating him, all the soldiers were defeated by his subordinates, Hu Mingkang also patted him on the shoulder many times, "My brother is extraordinary, and his kung fu is good!" Thumbs up to him and boasting.
At the beginning of 1949, after Hu Mingkang went to the other side of the strait, he didn't know the whereabouts of Instructor Song, could it be that he was on the stage? No way! No way! Maybe they look too similar, maybe they look at the wrong person, but why they are so similar, Hu Mingkang can't even tell himself.
This time, he was ordered to continue to lurk on the mainland, in addition to implementing the "Purple Light Plan", if the plan is not completed, I don't know what kind of crime he will bear when he goes back.
Hu Mingkang leaned there, still unable to figure out a clue, and kept smoking one after another, and the ashtray was also full of cigarette butts, and the entire cellar was shrouded in smoke.
"Meihua, wake up."
In fact, Yan Meihua didn't sleep at all, she hadn't closed her eyes properly since she came here, "What's the matter?" ”
"Look......" he couldn't continue.
"I think we are unlucky, and sooner or later something will go wrong." Yan Meihua said without thinking.
"So what do we do?" Hu Mingkang asked.
Yan Meihua replied: "I don't know what to do. ”
At this time, Hu Kangming knocked on the floor three times.
Boss Yang pried open the floor, slowly leaned down and asked, "What instructions does the general have?" ”
Hu Mingkang asked: "Has your peak contacted you in the past few days?" ”
"No, the wind has been very tight these days, and there is a public judgment meeting in the city during the day, and we don't dare to act rashly, and we have shot people." Boss Yang said.
Hu Mingkang looked helpless and said: "Yes, it's too tense outside these days, we can't hide here all day, the seedlings are not planted, but the legs are soaked, these days, I have something important to deal with, from tomorrow, I have to avoid here for a while." ”
Boss Yang hurriedly said, "Where are you going?" How does this work? I am responsible for your safety, and once the blame is made, how can I afford it? ”
Hu Mingkang said: "If you don't dare to ask, don't ask, do you even have to report my actions to whom?" Don't be afraid, with me, I have my own arrangements, otherwise it's all messy. ”
Boss Yang said repeatedly: "Yes! Be! ”
