Seeing Xu Dalong, Staff Officer Gao shook hands with him cordially and said hello. Li Qiulin saluted Xu Dalong excitedly. Although he has been transferred to the Ministry of Social Affairs, he is still very respectful to Xu Dalong, the old guard. Being able to go out on missions with him is now a rare opportunity for Li Qiulin.
Joining them to greet Xu Dalong were the members of the special operations team. When they saw the old guard, they were all very excited and saluted him respectfully.
The special operations team members Li Qiulin brought over were all Xu Dalong's soldiers. He knew every one of them. Not only could he call them by name, but he could also tell about their family background, temperament, and personal hobbies. They had fought side by side countless times and had already established a deep friendship. Xu Dalong was particularly kind when he saw them.
Staff Officer Gao had already prepared a vehicle and sent Xu Dalong to meet with the comrade in charge.
The person in charge introduced the whole story. It turned out that Mr. Chen had an in-depth understanding of the underground party base areas after his inspection in northern Shaanxi. Here he felt a strong spiritual power. He saw the prosperity of the base area and the bright future of the motherland. He felt very excited about this and was even more willing to make his own contribution to the underground party.
During his stay in northern Shaanxi, Mr. Chen, accompanied by Staff Officer Gao, not only inspected the base areas, but also went to Xi'an, Tongguan and other places to meet with some old friends from the past. From there, he felt the connection between Guotong District and the underground party base areas. The huge gap between them has made them more and more convinced that the underground party represents the future of the motherland, and strengthened their confidence in supporting the underground party. After completing all the inspection work, he decided to return to Nanyang and continue to collect donations and purchase materials to support the underground party.
The underground party persuaded Mr. Chen, saying that Nanyang was now under the control of the Japanese army and was very dangerous, and advised him to stay in northern Shaanxi. However, Mr. Chen was very determined and must return to Nanyang. In order to ensure his safety, the comrade in charge thought of Xu Dalong, and Mr. Chen also hoped that Xu Dalong could escort him back to Nanyang. Only then did Xu Dalong come to northern Shaanxi to perform the task of escorting Mr. Chen.
Xu Dalong came to the person in charge's office and saw Mr. Chen already waiting here.
Mr. Chen was very happy to see Xu Dalong, shook hands with him cordially, and said: "Mr. Xu, you escorted me to northern Shaanxi last time, and I have to trouble you to send me back this time. It's really hard on you." "
Xu Dalong said in a respectful tone: "Mr. Chen, it is my honor to serve you. It is my greatest honor to be able to walk with you and listen to your teachings."
Mr. Chen laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Xu is really good at talking. It is a great opportunity for me to get to know an outstanding young man like you. I am not afraid of other people's jokes when I talk. There will always be something interesting when talking to Mr. Xu." It made me feel enlightened and refreshing. I really don’t know how Mr. Xu managed to be so knowledgeable, which makes me, an old man, feel ashamed.”
The person in charge smiled and said: "Xu Dalong, Mr. Chen is an elder with rich experience and a deep understanding of the philosophy of life. It is really rare for you to be praised like this by him. Of course, Xu Dalong is indeed knowledgeable and broad-minded. He is indeed He is a rare young man, and even I admire him very much.”
At noon that day, the person in charge held a banquet to see Mr. Chen off. He told Xu Dalong: "I know your skills and I believe in your ability. However, I still want to remind you that you must be careful in everything, not only to protect Mr. Chen." You must also pay attention to your own safety, complete the mission successfully, and come back safely.”
Xu Dalong expressed his gratitude to the person in charge and assured him that he would resolutely complete the task of escorting Mr. Chen.
Soon after, Xu Dalong and Li Qiulin led a special operations team to escort Mr. Chen, Secretary Chen and others out of northern Shaanxi.
Mr. Chen's identity is very sensitive, and Guofu is also very concerned about him. In order to ensure Mr. Chen's safety, Mr. Chen could not appear in public in Guotong District. Therefore, when flying to Chongqing to refuel, Mr. Chen and Secretary Chen hid in the cargo hold of the transport plane. In order to avoid alerting others, Xu Dalong did not show up. After refueling, he flew out of Chongqing Airport and headed for Kunming.
Chongqing Military Command Headquarters.
"Tick tock." Following the signal sent by the radio station, the Telecommunications Department of the Military Command Headquarters received a telegram from northern Shaanxi. This telegram could not be translated by the Telecommunications Department, so the director of the Telecommunications Department personally delivered it to the boss.
The boss took out the special code book and translated it himself. After reading the telegram, he couldn't help but frown. This matter made him very embarrassed. After thinking about it, he finally decided to report the matter.
After the military commander came back from his superiors, he sat in a chair behind his desk and was in a daze for a while.
Then he pressed the button on the table, and the secretary immediately opened the door and came in, saying respectfully: "Boss, please give me your instructions."
The boss said: "Go and call You Yukun."
The secretary responded and turned around to leave. A moment later, You Yukun was called in. The boss waved his hand, and the secretary closed the door and went out.
The boss handed the telegram from northern Shaanxi to You Yukun. After reading it, You Yukun was surprised. Looking at the boss's face, he asked, "How did Shangfeng reply?"
The boss said: "Shangfeng does not want Mr. Chen to get too close to the underground party, and requires Mr. Chen to hand over the funds and materials raised from Nanyang to Guofu."
You Yukun asked: "Are there any specific instructions?"
The boss smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "Shangfeng asked me to act behind the camera. I really don't know how to act behind the camera? The one who escorted Mr. Chen was Brother Dalong. If I don't handle it well this time, I will not only be blamed by Shangfeng." , and will completely offend Brother Dalong, which is really a headache."
You Yukun nodded silently. This matter is really embarrassing for the boss. For such a difficult matter, let alone the boss as the person involved, even I can't find a good solution no matter how hard I try.
He asked tentatively: "Boss, what are your plans?"
The boss said: "This matter involves Brother Dalong. It is not convenient for me to come forward directly. I asked you to come here to ask you to go to Kunming and try to complete the instructions from your superiors without falling out with Brother Dalong. What should I do specifically? When the time comes, you It depends on the situation and the camera acts.”
You Yukun listened to his boss and told him to act with his camera in mind, so he obviously threw the hot potato to himself. Acting with the camera, how should we act with the camera? He felt helpless. However, he did not dare to shirk the tasks assigned by his boss.
He immediately said: "I immediately sent a telegram to Station Commander Shen in Kunming and asked him to try to detain Brother Dalong and Mr. Chen. After sending the telegram, I immediately flew to Kunming."
Station Commander Shen of the Kunming Station of the Military Command is also one of the Eighteen Arhats of the Military Command. He is 38 years old, handsome in appearance, and known for his calm and ruthless behavior. After receiving the telegram from You Yukun, he immediately drove to Kunming Airport.
Following Station Commander Shen to the airport was Li Feng, Director of the Operations Department of the Kunming Station of the Military Command. He was short but very strong. He asked: "Station Commander, what should I do when we get to the airport? Should we just detain the person?"
Stationmaster Shen had a headache. He shook his head and said, "It is impossible to arrest people directly. Mr. Chen is a distinguished guest of Guofu. His reputation among overseas Chinese is too great. Not to mention that Guofu needs help from him, even if it is If you want to attack him, you will also be wary of the public opinion it will cause.
And Xu Dalong, who escorted him, was not a simple figure. He has a very close relationship with the upper echelons of Guofu, including many important figures in our military command, and cannot be offended easily. He is a famous anti-Japanese hero, and his reputation is too great. Although he is a member of the underground party, Shangfeng will be very cautious if he wants to deal with him. Besides, we can't afford to mess with Xu Dalong. His special operations team is very powerful. I'm not belittling our own people. The capabilities of our military unified action team are simply not on the same level as other people's special operations teams. If Xu Dalong is offended, our Kunming station of military command may be completely wiped out. "
Hearing what Station Commander Shen said, Li Feng also felt a headache and asked: "Webmaster, since these people are so difficult to deal with, why does the headquarters leave this task to us? They are so high-level that they can't handle it. We can't handle it alone." What can we do at Kunming Station?”
Station Commander Shen sighed and said: "It is precisely because this matter is difficult to handle that the headquarters has left it to us to handle. To be honest, I, Shen, have been in the military for so many years and have experienced countless storms, but I have never encountered anything like this." A tough nut to crack.”
Li Feng nodded with emotion and said: "This matter is really like tofu falling into the ashes. We can't brag about it or take pictures of it. If we don't handle it well, we may become scapegoats. Webmaster, we can't detain people. How to explain to the superior?"
Stationmaster Shen is indeed an experienced veteran. He is very experienced and said: "Of course you can't arrest people openly. We can do it covertly. Let's do this. After arriving at the airport, you ask the airport authorities to make an excuse to stop the plane. Before taking off, you can delay the time in the name of entertaining Xu Dalong and Mr. Chen, and then ask for instructions from the summit.
Li Feng asked: "What should I do if Shangfeng doesn't give clear instructions?"
Stationmaster Shen shook his head with a wry smile and said: "You Yukun already said in the telegram that I should act with a camera. I really don't know how to act with a camera. Hey, forget it, I can only take it one step at a time. "
Li Feng looked at his watch and urged the driver: "Drive faster! Get to the airport as soon as possible."
When Station Commander Shen and Li Feng arrived at Kunming Airport, they found several cars and two trucks parked at the airport. Standing beside the cars were several generals of the Yunnan Army and a large group of Yunnan Army soldiers. As the car approached, they recognized Long Yingyuan, commander of the Second Division of the Yunnan Army, among them.
Stationmaster Shen couldn't help but frowned and asked doubtfully: "What is this Master Long here for? Is it also to pick up Xu Dalong?"
Li Feng also looked embarrassed and said, "I'm afraid that's the case. If Mr. Long really comes to pick up Xu Dalong, then things will be even more troublesome."
Stationmaster Shen said gloomily: "I have heard that Xu Dalong is decisive and bold in his actions. It seems that this statement is true. I am afraid that Mr. Long is really the one who arranged for us to come here to prevent us from interfering with him."
Stationmaster Shen and Li Feng guessed correctly. Long Yingyuan was really informed by Xu Dalong. But this time Station Commander Shen and Li Feng thought too much. Xu Dalong really didn't come to deal with them, but because Xu Dalong asked Long Yingyuan for help with something. Of course, Xu Dalong had considered everything carefully and had already notified Long Yingyuan, asking them to monitor the direction of the airport to avoid accidents.
Mr. Chen's identity is very sensitive. Although some people are interested in him, Xu Dalong does not have so many scruples in China, because if the plane crashes in Guotong District, the Guofu government will not be able to escape the blame. However, if something unexpected happens during the flight from Kunming to Myanmar, Guofu will not be held responsible. Therefore, Xu Dalong had to be careful.
After Long Yingyuan received Xu Dalong's telegram, he was very enthusiastic about his old friend. He immediately drove to the airport to greet him personally and brought a large number of security personnel. He closely monitored the airport's refueling equipment, material supply and other aspects related to the aircraft to ensure that the aircraft could not be tampered with at Kunming Airport.
Wanting to look at the car, he had to go to Long Yingyuan's side. Li Feng took the time to ask: "Stationmaster Shen, do I still need to inform the airport to do anything?"
Station Commander Shen shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Forget it, the security personnel at Kunming Airport are all members of the Yunnan Army. Our actions cannot be concealed from Mr. Long's eyes and ears, so let's not humiliate ourselves."
Li Feng asked: "Then what should we do?"
Stationmaster Shen said helplessly: "What else can we do? Didn't Shangfeng tell me that everything should be done with the camera?"
A car from the Kunming Station of the Military Command drove over and quickly attracted the attention of the Yunnan Army soldiers, who alerted Long Yingyuan.
Long Yingyuan looked over. When he saw the license plate clearly, he knew that this was a vehicle from the Kunming Station of the Military Command, and the person coming was probably Station Commander Shen. His brows couldn't help but frown. To be honest, he hated these spies. These guys were just troublemakers. They not only caused trouble in Kunming City, but even wanted to get their hands into the Yunnan Army.
With the strong military background, many generals in the Yunnan Army were very afraid of them, but Mr. Long was not afraid. When the military commander wanted to place people into his troops, he kicked them out.
Although Long Yingyuan hated people in the military command, he was still in the officialdom after all, so he still had to maintain his proper demeanor. When he saw Station Commander Shen coming over, a smile appeared on his face reluctantly.
Stationmaster Shen saw that Long Yingyuan was far away from him, and his face was full of smiles. He walked over quickly and said, "Oh, I didn't expect that Mr. Long is here too. It's a pleasure to meet you."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand, and Long Yingyuan reluctantly extended his hand. Webmaster Shen's handshake was moderate and very enthusiastic. (End of chapter)
