"I am now certain that there are things very important to the Central Government in that small building! They deployed a large number of people and set up an ambush in the small building. They mistakenly thought that I was going for those things." In the teahouse In the backyard, Tang Cheng and Xu Huanshan each sat on a chair. They were very close to each other, but their voices were very low. "The person who told this news is a black market broker who has been involved in the black market all year round. He saw with his own eyes that plainclothes agents from the Central Government escorted two trucks to transport things to the small building on South Third Road."
"Although I still don't know what the Central Government has transported there, I think that the amount of things that can be transported by two trucks must not be small! If it is smuggled goods, I guess it is unlikely, because the Central Government There was a secret warehouse in the cargo yard of the dock. After they went south to Chongqing, all the smuggled goods, arms and smoke were stored in the warehouse of the dock cargo yard. There was no need to turn the small building on Nan'an Road into a storage for smuggled goods. den."
Tang Cheng and Xu Huanshan were connected in the backyard of the teahouse at this moment, so when Tang Cheng spoke, he had less scruples. He told Xu Huanshan all his guesses and judgments. After hearing this, the latter just thought for a moment and then said, "According to your judgment, it is impossible for the Zhongtong to store the contraband in the small building you mentioned. Then, the things they transported to the small building should be Something related to their Zhongtong. According to what you said, I have a guess, but I don’t know if it’s right or not.”
There is an old Chinese saying that the person who knows you best is likely to be your opponent. Zhongtong and the underground party organizations have always been rivals. Xu Huanshan has been rounded up by Zhongtong many times before. In addition, the underground party organization also has insiders within Zhongtong. Therefore, Xu Huanshan, who is a member of the underground party organization, has no idea about the situation of Zhongtong. I understand fairly well. Under Tang Cheng's questioning, Xu Huanshan said, "My guess is that the things that the Central Government transported to the small building on Nan'an Road are probably their confidential files and documents."
"Compared with the military unification, the senior officials of the Central Unification were more suspicious! When the Central Unification headquarters was still in Nanjing, there was a fire in the archives! In addition, when they were in Wuhan, the headquarters was bombed by the Japanese army, and confidential documents were lost. After listening to your analysis just now, I feel that the things in that small building should be the confidential files of the Central Unification Committee or the auxiliary files of the documents. That small building is the dormitory building of the Central Unification Logistics Staff. There is no one there. You would think that such a place where people come and go is where they store confidential files."
Tang Cheng did not doubt Xu Huanshan's judgment. He was silent at the moment, just thinking that if the confidential files of the Central Government were indeed stored in that small building, then he could give the Central Government a hard blow! However, Tang Cheng immediately thought of the situation of Xu Huanshan and the others, "Old Xu, if something goes wrong with the confidential files stored in the small building by the Central Command, I believe they will immediately regard you as targets. Because in Chongqing In the city, only you underground party will be interested in their confidential files."
Tang Cheng's last words were a bit absolute, but Xu Huanshan did not refute Tang Cheng. He just heard some other meanings from Tang Cheng's words. At this time, Tang Cheng did not pay attention to the change in Xu Huanshan's expression. He just continued to speak. "You have got the medicines, so why not leave early! If the Central Military Commission really goes all out to deal with you, given the current situation, as long as the man in the South Bank Villa says a word, even if the military commander is not willing, I am afraid he will We can only cooperate with Zhongtong’s actions.”
Tang Cheng was accustomed to thinking about the worst possible outcome before making plans. He was looking for trouble with Zhongtong just to relieve his anger, but he didn't want to cause trouble to Xu Huanshan and the others because of his actions. When Xu Huanshan heard this, he grinned and said, "We have been fighting with Zhongtong for many years, and despite our victories and defeats, they have never shut down Chongqing's underground party organizations. According to your persuasion, is it possible that every time something happens to Zhongtong, we will Want to hide?" Xu Huanshan's attitude was very determined. Tang Cheng's persuasion failed, so he could only stop mentioning the matter.
Tang Cheng could not persuade Xu Huanshan to leave early, so he could only change the subject and talk about the arrangements after the operation was over. "If that small building is really the secret file of Zhongtong, do you want it?" Although it is still unclear whether Xu Huanshan's previous judgment was accurate, Tang Cheng has decided to investigate the small building, so he will not easily Change your decision. It is Tang Cheng's consistent attitude to prepare for a rainy day, so he must think of all possibilities before taking action.
Xu Huanshan may know the best about Tang Cheng's skills. After all, Tang Cheng had helped him many times when he was in Shanghai. Like Tang Cheng, Xu Huanshan did not want Tang Cheng to be in danger, but Tang Cheng, like him, was stubborn, and neither of them could persuade him to deal with it, so they made a tacit agreement not to mention the matter again. Xu Huanshan, who actually got the batch of medicines, had basically completed his trip to Chongqing. It was only when he learned that Tang Cheng was going to investigate the small building that he decided to stay a few more days.
That night, Tang Cheng once again went to observe the small building closely, and found that there were still many Zhongtong plainclothes lurking around the small building. Knowing that it was a trap, how could Tang Cheng jump in, so he chose to go home and sleep. On the Zhongtong side, they mobilized manpower to lurk in secret for three consecutive days, but their target never arrived. As the planners of the plan, the senior officials of the Central Government were only slightly disappointed, but the plainclothes officers of the Central Government who participated in the operation were already complaining. After all, they had been squatting for three days in a row, but they had not seen the target at all.
For several nights in a row, Tang Cheng discovered that there were plainclothes Zhongtong ambushes outside the small building. While sighing secretly, Tang Cheng suddenly realized that he had done something wrong. Because the traces left by Tang City on the roof opposite the small building made the Zhongtong suspect that the things that happened in the city before were the methods of the mastermind behind the scenes. The senior officials of Zhongtong judged that the real purpose of the opponent was the secret archives and documents they stored in the basement of the small building. Therefore, Zhongtong dispatched capable personnel and set up an ambush around the small building.
Tangcheng, who was lucky enough to find an ambush, originally thought that Zhongtong's side might only be hot for a few days. If he waited a few more days, Zhongtong's side would have a rest. But it has been several days, and the number of plainclothes officers placed around the small building by the Central Commander-in-Chief has not decreased at all. It was only at this time that Tang Cheng suddenly realized that he had been thinking about Xiaolou for the past few days and did not continue to harass Zhongtong in the city. Maybe this would make Zhongtong think that their judgment was correct, so they stayed around Xiaolou. Tang Cheng, feeling annoyed, immediately followed the information provided by Xu Huanshan and destroyed a stronghold of Zhongtong in the east of the city.
This stronghold of the Zhongtong in the east of the city was actually a surveillance point used by the Zhongtong to monitor a businessman. This businessman surnamed Zhao was considered by the Zhongtong to be suspected of collaborating with the Communist Party. Xu Huanshan's other mission when he came to Chongqing this time was to escort the merchant family named Zhao to leave Chongqing safely. Therefore, Tangcheng's destruction of Zhongtong's stronghold also facilitated Xu Huanshan's actions. In the next three days, almost every night in Tangcheng, people from Zhongtong were attacked in the city. Although they did not kill anyone, they still made a fuss in the city.
The ambush on the Xiaolou side has not yet yielded any results, and the attack on Zhongtong has resumed in the city. The senior officials of Zhongtong, who were severely reprimanded by the Chairman, can only call back their manpower from Xiaolou and use all channels and means to attack Zhongtong in the city. Find this damn provocateur. "How's it going? I just said, my method is the most effective!" After learning that most of the plainclothes officers deployed around the small building by the Zhongtong had been transferred, Tang Cheng immediately showed off proudly in front of Xu Huanshan.
Tang Cheng's specific actions did not originally include Xu Huanshan's participation, but Xu Huanshan also wanted to know whether there were any secret files of Zhongtong stored in the small building, so he took the initiative to suggest that they be responsible for handling Tang Cheng, who planned to act alone. Tang Cheng did not refuse Xu Huanshan, but he made a request, that is, Xu Huanshan must not reveal Tang Cheng's true identity and name to others. After dinner, Tang Cheng came out of his backyard and rushed to the location agreed with Xu Huanshan, where he joined Xu Huanshan and the others.
According to Tang Cheng's request, a total of four people from Xu Huanshan and the others came, and each of them was carrying a backpack. Half an hour later, under the cover of darkness, Tang Cheng and the others appeared in the street next to Zhongtong Building. "Going through this alley, you can see the small building where the Zhongtong is. You wait in the alley for my signal. If you hear gunshots, leave immediately. Don't stay where you are." After Tang Cheng told Xu Huanshan in the alley, he was the first to get into the dark alley.
Compared with last night, the number of plainclothes officers placed outside the small building by Zhongtong was much smaller. Tang Cheng, who appeared quietly at the entrance of the alley, did not go out of the alley immediately. He just turned around and gestured to Xu Huanshan, who was a few meters away. Tang Cheng climbed up on the side of him while Xu Huanshan looked at him. Street wall. On the roof next to the street wall, there were two plainclothes Zhongtong men lying on their backs. They were the sentry posts closest to the small building. If Tang Cheng wants to enter the small building, these two observation posts are a problem that he must solve first.
The Zhongtong plainclothes who had been ordered to ambush around the small building had been there for several days. The Zhongtong plainclothes who were left behind were now very envious of their companions who had been transferred back to the headquarters, because those companions did not have to stay here to stay up all night. . The two plainclothes officers lying on the roof should have cheered up and paid careful attention to everything going on in the streets below. But they were already sleepy. They had already climbed onto the roof along the street wall, and they were so careless that they didn't know anything.
