The first heavy snowfall in the winter of 1935 lasted for three full days, and it gradually cleared up on the morning of the fourth day, turning the entire Harbin into a world of ice and snow.
A lot of things happened in these three days. First of all, the Anti-League obtained a huge amount of white medicine. The blood on the medicine box was still wet, which proved who was the murderer of the robbery a few days ago.
While finalizing the cooperation plan, the underground party also became more wary of the Fruit Party's intelligence officers in the Northeast. The latter was definitely different from the spy agents they were familiar with before.
The methods are very cruel,
The information is accurate,
Excellent mobility.
The Anti-League's cooperation with them is a standard practice of seeking the skin of a tiger. If you are not careful, you will fall into a trap. The underground party has made sufficient preparations for the steps and precautions in action.
For example, arrange a backup team in the mountains and forests around the target. Once the situation changes, they will suddenly rush out, eliminate these dangerous enemies, and then go directly to the secret camp.
Of course, it would be fine if the Guo Party sincerely cooperates. This operation is for the sake of the country and the nation, so that everyone can get together and disperse easily. Moreover, it is the tradition of the Guo Party to burn bridges, not the underground party.
Except for this matter,
Something happened to Xu Enzeng.
This guy got carried away on the opening day and accidentally rolled down from the second floor. He broke his right leg on the spot. He is currently being treated in the Puppet Manchukuo Hospital and is unable to perform his mission.
As for whether he was really careless or whether he was deliberately injuring himself to avoid taking action, everyone knew it. He felt that it would be safe. No matter whether the mission was successful or not, his life was saved.
When Zheng Tingbing learned about this, he stamped his feet repeatedly and cursed the other party for his shamelessness. But looking at Wu Chunyang who was not leaving, he had to give up the idea of breaking his leg "accidentally".
The elites of the Fruit Party live up to their reputation.
Decisive enough!
Zuo Zhong knew it and didn't say anything, so he asked Ling Sanping to quietly prepare a wheelchair. Even if it was lifted on the day of the operation, they would have to carry Xu Enzeng and hide it near the Beiyinhe base.
This person knows too many secrets of the National Government and knows the internal affairs of the Kuomintang very well. If the action fails, he must be silenced and cannot be left to the Japanese and puppet parties.
In short, if you want to escape from the battlefield, there is no door. If you can't move your legs, you can still be responsible for surveillance or attracting fire. Then the arduous task of launching signal flares will be left to Lao Xu.
Know people and make good use of them,
Let everyone use their talents.
Zuo Zhong realized that he had mastered the essence of the chief's art, and after talking to Wolong and Fengchu's teams, they decided one thing, that is, he could not take action in the near future and continued to wait.
First, the weapons and equipment provided by the Jinling Bureau headquarters were not in place. It was very difficult to transport these things under the eyes of the Japanese. The goods would be exposed if they were not careful.
Second, although the first snow lasted for a long time, the amount of snow was not heavy and it did not completely block highway traffic. Military aircraft could also be forced to take off, so we should not act too hastily.
Anyway, they are in the Northeast,
No need to worry about heavy snow.
In fact, when December enters, the snow in Harbin comes one after another without stopping at all. Not to mention the sparsely populated suburbs, even the traffic in the city is interrupted for several days.
Zuo Zhong knew it was time to take action, but there was one more thing to do before that. If it was done well, the action would be smoother than they imagined. If it wasn't done well, they would have to risk their lives.
Early that morning, the dirt road from Xiaoniujiao Pass to Harbin was covered with a layer of white snow. The raging north wind roared and rolled up the snow, and the sound of treading on the snow could be faintly heard.
"Crunch~Crunch~"
There was a footprint that continued to extend on the vast land. Zuo Zhong at the end of the footprint was breathing heavily. He stopped and held up the dog-skin hat on his head, and looked back at Torrieta.
The Belarusians may have been away from their hometown for too long and have forgotten how to survive in the cold. They were exhausted and out of breath after walking only two or three kilometers in the snow that was not too thick.
Zuo Zhong turned his head calmly, pulled his feet out of the snow and stepped forward. There was a hint of ridicule on his face. He had never seen anyone rush up to suffer.
He came to Xiaoniujiaogou Village for the last reconnaissance before the operation. He also made a phone call to the other party for safety reasons to avoid arousing suspicion.
As a result, this loyal Japanese bastard heard about his plan and immediately expressed his intention to come together, even though the car could only park far away from the village due to heavy snow.
If you do evil in heaven, you can still live.
If you do your own evil, you will not live.
This word is used to describe people like Torletta who think that they can do whatever they want by relying on the Japanese and puppets. They have forgotten who accepted them as a group of homeless dogs when they were liquidated by the Red Russia.
He took refuge in the Republic of China on the front foot, and then helped the bandits bully the Chinese people on the back foot. The despicable nature of human nature is evident. This time, let the other side suffer a good blow.
Zuo Zhong's heart moved, and he seemed to shout happily: "Friend, Xiaoniujiaogou Village is ahead, hurry up, and soon we will be sitting on the warm Kang.
Thinking about the soju brewed by Mr. Village Chief, don't you feel that your whole body is filled with strength? Torretta, as a White Russian, you must not lose to me, hahahaha. "
"To hell with soju."
It was okay not to mention this matter, but when it came to mentioning it, Torrieta felt that his brain began to hurt again, and his originally cold body became even stiffer, and he thought that he should not go out with Okamoto.
The Japanese are generous people. Even if he doesn't come today, the other party will not give him a penny less. In this cold weather, he should stay at home, sit in front of the fireplace and drink vodka.
Instead of braving the wind and snow and walking to a remote mountain village to drink bad wine made from unknown ingredients, he swore to God that he would never come to this damn place again.
A few hours later,
After an arduous trek, the two entered Xiaoniujiaogou Village. When the sharp-eyed villagers saw the medicine collector coming, they immediately ran to the village chief's house to report the news.
Seeing this, Zuo Zhong and Torrieta didn't want to come directly to the door, so they found a leeward place to wait patiently. As they waited, Zuo Zhong discovered some details that they had ignored last time.
The doors of every household here are closed, and the high walls block all sight lines. The situation inside the courtyard cannot be seen from outside the walls, as if they are deliberately blocking outside prying eyes.
This situation is not common in the Northeast because the summer temperature in the Northeast is as high as over 30 degrees, and the winter temperature is as low as minus 40 degrees, a temperature difference of nearly 80 degrees.
The walls built in summer will bulge due to ground freezing in winter, and then settle due to thawing in summer. The walls will deform over winter and summer, and can easily collapse in strong winds.
In addition, in order to save building materials, rural areas in Northeast China do not build walls but build fences, which serve more to deter animals. After all, bandits will not give up robbing just because the walls are high.
calf horn ditch,
The more I look at it, the weirder it gets.
Zuo Zhong recalled the scene of climbing over the wall back and forth when he went to investigate the Beiyin River, and secretly shook his head. This was a lesson. The truth is often hidden in these details.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a village woman walking from a distance outside the village, holding a huge wooden basin in her hand, with a piece of dark homespun cloth and a hammering stick placed on the mouth of the basin.
The other party was startled when he saw them. Apparently he didn't expect strangers to come to Xiaoniujiaogou Village during the heavy snow season, and then he lowered his head and deliberately avoided the two of them.
While walking, the village woman put the wooden basin beside her, blocking the two people's view with her body. From time to time, she raised her hand to stretch the dark homespun cloth, slipped into an alley, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zuo Zhong saw everything, calmly lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, looking around, and finally saw the target of his trip in a low courtyard.
A few very special things,
blowing in the wind,
Things were pretty much what he had guessed. Xiaoniujiaogou Village was the key to the success of the operation. Although the Japanese were careful, they still left a trace of omissions inadvertently.
Combined with the information provided by Xiao Qingmin, the last secret of the Baoyinhe base was also solved. Confirming this gave him greater confidence in the next plan.
Not long after, the village chief came with a smile. After welcoming them home, he prepared a table of overly sumptuous food and wine. During the dinner, the village chief repeatedly assured Zuo Zhong that there would be no problem with the medicinal materials.
Zuo Zhong nodded slightly to express his satisfaction, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the other party, without mentioning the strange village woman at all, while Torretta beside him ate in silence without even touching the wine.
The next morning.
After seeing the condition of the medicine field after the snow, the two refused the village chief's request to stay, and left without even eating lunch. They rushed back to Harbin before nightfall, where it snowed again.
Torrieta, who was freezing enough, immediately returned home. Zuo Zhong and He Yijun took the opportunity to go to the warehouse, and braved the snow to transport back more than a dozen boxes of medicines sent from Japan based on the cargo list.
In the warehouse of Jiren Pharmacy, they pried open a box, took away the goods and straw, and then opened the secret compartment at the bottom. Inside, there was a row of weapons shining with cold light.
Thompson submachine gun,
Browning m1911,
Lots of dangerous goods and bullets.
To transport them to the Northeast, which was under strict Japanese control, the Secret Service paid a high price. Not only did it spend a large amount of money, it even activated several valuable hidden lines.
The Japanese and puppet intelligence officers are not fools. They will definitely find ways to trace the source of the weapons after the incident. The hidden lines that have been operating for many years will inevitably be exposed, and they will have to retreat if they lose their intelligence value.
The hard work and dedication of countless people have only one purpose, to completely destroy the bacterial weapons base. If this operation fails, it will be a failure. There is no second way out.
"Natsuko, record."
Zuo Zhong looked at the snow falling more and more, turned his head under the light and said solemnly: "You go and contact the Fengchu team and ask them to notify the Anti-Japanese Alliance to pick up guns and ammunition at the predetermined location tomorrow night.
As long as the snow does not stop, we will gather at 3pm the day after tomorrow. Everyone must arrive at the action assembly point before 3pm. Whoever is responsible is responsible. The underground party should have a way to pass the checkpoint outside the city.
The Wolong team was also notified and asked to make arrangements to cover their identities and not to disappear suddenly. They must have a reasonable reason to disappear for 24 hours in order to deal with the subsequent investigation. "
"Hai, Okamoto-kun."
He Yijun bowed lightly.
