The rickshaw turned two corners and entered a deserted yard. Hidden in a woodshed, Huang Guobin took off his makeup, tidied up, and took the excited Liu Erkui home on his bicycle.
By the time the patrolling police officers arrived at the scene, Huang Guobin and Liu Erkui had already arrived home. Song Wenjie's death did not cause any splash. It was just a traitor. There were many traitors dead in this period. The bamboo trap took away the body and gave it to him. The family members no longer care about some pensions and burial expenses.
On the way, Liu Erkui asked: "Brother, why are you so powerful? Are you from the Eighth Route Army?"
Huang Guobin was noncommittal and told him some things to pay attention to. He should stay at home and not go out for the past two days.
Liu Erkui asked again: "Brother, what is our brother-in-law's identity?"
Huang Guobin said vaguely: "He is my leader." Liu Erkui was in awe.
The next morning Liu Erkui was much more honest and attentive when meeting Xu Zhongyi. He never mentioned the scolding Xu Zhongyi yesterday.
Xu Zhongyi was secretly amused. After dinner, he got up and went to work. When he arrived at the gendarmerie, he was called to the office by Tanaka Daixiang.
"Xu Sang, the North China Autonomous Government will be established in two days, and Colonel Dobi and I will not be able to leave. Please go there on behalf of Tianjin Super High School!"
Xu Zhongyi didn't want to go to Peiping. He knew that the military commander was taking action, and the central commander and the Eighth Route Army would definitely not sit idly by and watch. Don't let Chi Yu have someone kill him as a traitor.
"Tanaka-kun, how can I represent the Special High School? How come you have to step in for such an important occasion!" Xu Zhongyi quickly shied away.
Xu Jun, please don't be polite. Colonel Doi and I are really busy with something, and the entire special high school class is busy. If you don't go, no one will go.
Xu Zhongyi had an idea and hurriedly asked: "Is there any mission coming down from above?"
Tanaka Daixiang chuckled: "There is indeed a mission. After New Year's Day, the Imperial Army will attack Wuhan. We are asked to raise food from above. Everyone has to go to the countryside to collect food and control food. The task is very heavy."
The stupid little devil is really up to no good. To put it bluntly, raising food means going to people's homes to grab food. Without food, I don't know how many people will survive this spring.
Now the national army is preparing for war in Wuhan, and there are only Eighth Route guerrillas behind the enemy lines. We must find a way to notify them.
"Well, since Mr. Tanaka can't get away, I'll make a trip!" Xu Zhongyi had no choice but to agree. Taking the invitation letter and pass Tanaka gave him, he went to prepare.
When he got home in the evening, he told Huang Guobin about the matter. Huang Guobin said: "Go tell Xiaofang and ask her to notify the guerrillas and take action quickly to prevent the little devils from stealing food."
Xu Zhongyi took out the invitation letter and said with a wry smile: "I'm going to Peking with you tomorrow."
Huang Guobin said: "Let's just be together. Be careful. I may not be able to take care of you by then."
At this time, a voice came from the closet: "Count me in!"
Huang Guobin and Xu Zhongyi were startled and quickly touched the gun.
Liu Erkui got out of the closet and said with excitement: "Brother, brother-in-law, are you going to Peiping to kill the Japanese? Take me with you!"
Huang Guobin and Xu Zhongyi had dark faces. Huang Guobin scolded: "You kid, how can you hide in the closet and eavesdrop on other people's conversations?"
Liu Erkui didn't feel ashamed at all. Instead, he threatened Huang Guobin: "If you don't let me go, I will tell my aunt that you two are the Eighth Route Army."
Huang Guobin was speechless. The little brat was just a fool. If something happened to him, how could he be worthy of his aunt?
Xu Zhongyi said with a smile: "It's okay if you want to go, you have to follow the instructions."
Liu Erkui patted his chest and said, "No problem, as long as you let me kill the Japanese, I will definitely obey your command."
During dinner in the evening, Huang Guobin told his family about this matter. The whole family had no objection, but Liu Xiaofang strongly opposed it and refused to let his brother go to Peking. He also took his mother Liu Xiao'e and Xiaocui with him.
Huang Guobin knew what she was worried about. Despite the objections of the whole family, Huang Guobin pushed the situation and said to Liu Erkui: "I can't help it. Just stay at home!"
Then he left Liu Erkui behind, and headed to Peking with Xu Zhongyi, more than a hundred policemen, and a dozen cars.
However, he left a task for Liu Erkui, asking him to contact his colleagues from Datong Coal Mine who came to Tianjin to prepare for the secret establishment of a Datong Coal Mine Comrades Association. Huang Guobin and Xu Zhongyi paid for a group of rickshaws and established a rickshaw dealer to let these people To pull a rickshaw, on the one hand, it can protect their livelihood, on the other hand, they want to use them to develop their own power.
After driving for three or four hours, we arrived in Peiping at noon. We contacted the Beiping Puppet Police Department and arranged for more than a hundred of them to guard the gates at the west and south gates of Beiping City. There was no way to get close to the main venue of the city hall, which made Huang Guobin extremely depressed.
He assigned the task of defending the city to his men and went to meet them at the address given by Chen Binchang.
The address is No. 30 Chongwenmen Street, called Shanxi Guild Hall.
Entering the clubhouse, Huang Guobin met Chen Binchang, Ma Hanshan and Li Ya.
Beiping Station was almost completely taken over by the Peiping Super High School. Ma Hanshan and Li Ya are the only remaining achievements. Most of them are newcomers. Li Ya is now the chief of the Operations Section of Beiping Station. When old classmates meet, let me give you a big hug first. .
Mahanshan has become a lot haggard. He has been hiding in Tibet recently, and it is not easy to rebuild the Peking Station.
Several people were discussing combat plans in the conference room.
Ma Hanshan said: "The security of this ceremony is very tight. Almost all the Peking Military Police are responsible for the security of the venue. Anyone who enters must be searched. It is difficult to bring weapons in."
Huang Guobin said: "I have placed more than a dozen people from the Operations Department in the Rangers, but we are only responsible for the security and inspection of the west gate and south gate of Peiping. We are not allowed to go to the venue at all."
Huang Guobin asked: "What are you going to do?"
"Several of our comrades are already working in the kitchen and waiters. There are several guns and grenades hidden on the ceiling of the bathroom. I hope they can be used by then."
Huang Guobin took out a piece of paper with the meeting procedures on it, which he copied from Xu Zhongyi's invitation letter.
The ceremony was mainly held in the City Hall Auditorium. In the morning, guests entered the ceremony, luncheon was held, in the afternoon there was an oath-taking ceremony and the issuance of the emperor's edict by Prince Zain, and in the evening there was a dinner and dance.
Huang Guobin asked: "Is it okay to poison?"
Ma Hanshan said: "It won't work at all. There will be a dedicated person to taste the dishes. The waiter will have to taste them first when serving them."
Huang Guobin asked: "Is there a map? Let me take a look."
Li Ya brought the map of Peking and the floor plan of the city hall, and Huang Guobin studied them carefully.
Li Ya said: "The city hall is surrounded by military police protection, and it will be difficult for even a thousand troops to break in."
Huang Guobin asked: "Where is behind the city hall? There seems to be no one here."
Li Ya said: "The back turns out to be the backyard of a Manchu prince's mansion, but this is the back wall. How do you get in?"
Huang Guobin said: "Blow up the back wall, our people rush in and kill all these bastards, and then retreat from the palace! It is very close to the west gate. Our people guard the west gate, so it is easy to get out of the city. "
I have to say that this plan is very bold. There is no one guarding here, and the City Hall and the Royal Palace face two different streets, so it is easy to be ignored.
