Xiao Wuzi saw a young prisoner of war crying bitterly while holding a corpse. That should be his life and death brother. Xiao Wuzi knew deeply that on the battlefield, life and death were only a matter of a moment. The comrades who are alive and well in front of us today will become wild ghosts lying dead on the battlefield tomorrow. The closer the friendship, the greater the sadness.
The results were extremely ideal, with heavy casualties and greater gains. Lao Haishan ordered Zhang Guorui and Yang Baoqing to find a few uninjured people who put on Japanese military uniforms and sent them out as sentries. Others went into the Japanese barracks to hold a general meeting. The meeting was about one topic, what to do next. Zhang Guorui said: "We are all from other places and we are not familiar with the place. Brother Haishan, please don't be polite. We will all obey your arrangements." Looking back at Yang Baoqing, Yang Baoqing nodded and said nothing.
So Lao Haishan decided to pack all the loot this time into a truck. Lead these people eastward into the mountains. They are very familiar with this mountainous area and are not afraid of the little devils' attacks.
While everyone was busy, Xiao Wuzi talked to Zhang Guorui alone for an hour. He heard that they were also members of the party and should understand each other's situation.
Xiaowuzi finally knew where the center mentioned in the secret information he burned was. He decided to fulfill the last wish of Political Commissar Wei no matter what.
Zhang Guorui was very surprised. He originally thought that the Anti-Japanese Alliance were all patriotic local armed forces. After listening to Xiao Wuzi, he realized that this group of people were truly his own. This was a huge surprise.
Everyone had a full meal at the Jaap Barracks, then loaded up and set off.
Xiaowuzi came to say goodbye to Lao Haishan, Zhang Guorui, Brother Rongping and others. Lao Haishan knew that he had another mission. I collected some bullets for him. It was difficult to find the bullets for his Horse brand, but I found bullets of the same size in the mine director's office. This time I also seized a lot of money. Lao Haishan gave him another stack of votes. He said to him: "Money is used everywhere in the city, so bring more. If you have difficulty moving, come back immediately and we will discuss the matter."
The big man patted Xiaowuzi on the shoulder and said nothing. Xiaowuzi nodded vigorously to him, saying nothing. Xiaowuzi was no longer polite, changed his clothes, took his money, said goodbye to everyone, and walked west.
When Xiao Wuzi returned to Jiaohe, it was already noon, and he decided to leave immediately. The Jiaohe consulate did not know that such a big thing had happened at the mine, so he could leave more smoothly before the Japanese were under close surveillance. Once the wind gets tight, it will be difficult to leave.
I went to the station and bought a ticket for the 4:30 pm train. Xiaowuzi went to buy some clothes, a brand new cotton robe, and high-top cotton shoes with thousand-layer soles. Xiaowuzi rarely wears this kind of clothes, it's a bit awkward. But it can hide his identity as a bandit. I went to the shaving booth and had my head shaved. I bought a mink hat and put it on, and I no longer looked like a bandit at all.
The money Lao Haishan gave him was all in large bills of ten yuan. He didn't count it in detail, but it was at least more than a thousand yuan, which was still very convenient to carry.
It was too late to say goodbye to the uncle and his family to see how the mission was completed. If he could really come back alive, he really wanted to take care of the uncle in his old age and enjoy the family happiness that he was missing.
It's time to check in and get on the train. It's the first time in my life that my son has taken a train. The trains of this era were smoky and messy, and the whole train was filled with a strange smell of smelly feet and various foods.
Although Xiaowuzi has never sat in it, he has heard that someone carefully explained various procedures to him so that he would have less trouble when encountering such a situation later.
The person who told him this was Sister Yun, the Sister Yun he would never forget. That is the person I am mainly looking for this time in Xinjing.
Little Wuzi didn't know that not long after the train departed, many Japanese soldiers came to Jiaohe Station and martial law was declared. Every passenger traveling will be subject to repeated interrogations, and he may not be able to leave if he leaves even a little later.
After the train departed, Xiao Wuzi went to the junction of the carriages to find the conductor. The conductor was a young man under thirty years old. Xiaowuzi first handed over a cigarette and lit it. Putting the newly opened cigarette into the other person's pocket, he said, "Brother, it's my first time to go out. I want to go to Xinjing. When can I arrive?"
In this era, trains were extremely slow. They stopped at every station. It was about 200 kilometers from Jiaohe to Changchun, and the train had to travel all night.
When the commander saw that the young man was quite capable, he said to him: "Brother, you're from Jiaohe? What are you doing here? We have to arrive in Xinjing tomorrow morning. If you have anything to do, tell me and I'll keep you safe."
Xiao Wuzi said: "My father is sick and misses my brother. He asked me to go to Xinjing to ask him to come back. My brother works for the emperor in Xinjing and has not been home during the Chinese New Year. Brother, can you make up a sleeper berth? Ticket? Can you make a replacement for me?" After that, he took out five yuan and gave it to him.
The conductor saw the five yuan, took it and put it in his pocket, saying: "What kind of ticket do you want to pay? Come with me. If anyone checks the ticket, mention me. My surname is Shen."
Xiao Wuzi quickly thanked him and followed him.
Xiao Wuzi was lying in the sleeper car, and he was the only one in a box. After working hard all night and all day long, I was really tired and fell asleep in a daze. Even though he was asleep, there was still a hand in his arms holding the gun.
Sister Yun's name is Liu Yun, and she is the daughter of the owner of Yihesheng Drug Store in Kuanchengzi, Changchun. I have three brothers, some are officials and some are doing business.
Sister Yun came into contact with progressive ideas when she was in middle school. After graduation, she escaped from home and joined the Anti-Japanese War with her school classmates.
When Sister Yun arrived, she was assigned to work as a cultural teacher in the secret camp. Xiao Wuzi is the youngest in the secret camp, and both have the surname Liu, so Sister Yun takes special care of Xiao Wuzi.
In Xiaoerdaohezi, Sister Yun taught him how to read whenever she had time, and Xiaowuzi was also smart and eager to learn. By the time the team dispersed, Xiaowuzi had completed the entire elementary school curriculum and was considered a cultural person in this era.
Sister Yun is beautiful and has a lively and cheerful personality. She is the goddess in the hearts of all the boys in the secret camp.
Young men like Jin Douzi look for opportunities to get close to Sister Yun all day long. Even if they say a word to her or get one more look from her, they feel it is great happiness.
But Sister Yun is kind and polite to everyone, and she doesn't show pretense to everyone.
Last year, the team dispersed. Xiao Wuzi went to Mengjiang, while Sister Yun stayed in Hongshi with the political commissar and never met again.
The intelligence said that Comrade Liu Yun took the political commissar's summary report from last year and planned to go to Harbin to find comrades from the Comintern to forward it to the Central Committee and ask the Central Committee to give instructions on the next step of the Anti-Resistance League. There will be a comrade code-named Shepherd Boy in Changchun to assist him. If you can't contact the Communist International, find a way through the customs and go directly to the Central Committee.
However, by the end of the year, there was no news from the two people. The political commissar judged that something might have happened, so he planned to send another group of people to look for intelligence and liaison personnel.
But he didn't expect that the Japanese would be surrounded by the Japanese in the secret camp before dispatching the personnel. He had to hide the secret information at the backup contact point, hoping that Xiao Wuzi and others could continue to complete the mission.
What the political commissar did not expect was that almost everyone died, even Xiao Wuzi almost died. If Xiao Wuzi was gone, this information would be lost forever.
…
In early spring, it turns from warm to cold, and the snow that melts during the day freezes into ice again at night. It seems to be colder than winter in the early morning.
The train finally arrived at the station after crawling all night.
This is Changchun, the capital of Manchukuo, Xinjing.
Why did the Japanese choose Changchun as the base camp for their invasion of China?
Because geographically, compared to other big cities in Northeast China, the shortest route can be opened from Xinjing to Japan, and the railway transportation network here extends in all directions.
Moreover, Changchun is located in the center of the entire Northeast region, which is conducive to radiating and controlling the entire Northeast.
Xiaowuzi got out of the car and walked out quietly because he had no luggage.
By this time, the breakfast stall had been set up. Xiaowuzi went over and bought a bowl of tofu puffs and two pancakes. I sat on the street and ate it while it was hot. After eating the hot food, my frozen hands and feet felt warm.
There is a huge sign in front of the station with slogans such as the common prosperity of the five ethnic groups written on it. Below is a hand-drawn map of Xinjing.
Xiaowuzi has a very good memory and stood in front of the sign for a long time just to memorize the map.
He didn't plan to stay in the hotel. This was the home base of the Japanese, and the Kwantung Army headquarters was not far south of Kodama Park. The hotel may be inspected at any time, which is very troublesome.
Changchun was originally called Kuanchengzi, and the old city was not very big. After the Japanese came, they expanded Changchun into a first-class city in Asia, and the urban area expanded dozens of times.
The streets were busy and extremely lively. Xiaowuzi has always walked on a pair of iron feet in the mountains, so he has no worries no matter how far he goes.
He knew that Sister Yun's family owned a pharmacy, and it must be in the old city. So we walked towards the old city according to the map we just memorized.
A few days later, many cars, cars, carriages, and rickshaws were parked in front of the Manxi Central Hotel on Fengle Road.
This should be a banquet for a wealthy family. All those who came were dignitaries, officials from Manchukuo, leading figures in business circles, and even Japanese.
Xiao Wuzi was leaning against the rickshaw, dressed in short clothes like pulling a rickshaw, and seemed to be waiting for the guests nonchalantly, but in fact, every guest in every car that came was swept by his eyes.
Xiaowuzi rented a house on Toudao Street, where people came to the city to find work or do small business. The rent is not high, and the neighbors are from all walks of life, so it’s a good place to ask around. Xiaowuzi bought a foreign car to hide his identity. This crap is quite expensive. A second-hand one cost Xiao Wuzi more than a hundred yuan.
Sister Yun's family is a drug dealer, and their business is very large and well-known. Xiao Wuzi found out the address without much effort, but after waiting in front of her courtyard for several days and seeing no one, Xiao Wuzi was a little flustered. He was worried that Sister Yun was gone, so he had done everything he had done. Useless effort. Later, I asked a servant of her family, and he said that the eldest lady is not here and lives in her own house. She has a house next to the school.
Now Xiao Wuzi's worries were relieved. Today I heard that a dignitary was holding a wedding ceremony at the Central Hotel. I heard that this family is related to Sister Yun's family. These wealthy families are like this. They are always related to each other. relative. Sister Yun should be able to come. Xiao Wuzi came here in advance to wait for Sister Yun to appear.
These days, Xiaowuzi pulled the foreign cart almost all over the streets and alleys of Changchun. This is his habit. No matter where he goes, he must first familiarize himself with the terrain.
