...While the Japanese army and military commanders were fighting each other for wits and courage due to the robbery of the bank vault.
Kong Jie began to plan the rescue and transfer of experts, professors and overseas Chinese representatives.
In the evening, in a hidden teahouse outside the concession, some comrades from the Tianjin underground party, including Zhou Jianren, as well as some experts, professors and overseas Chinese representatives, met secretly with Kong Jie.
When the two parties met, Zhou Jianren and other underground party comrades took the lead in introducing themselves, and some experts, professors and overseas Chinese representatives also introduced their identities.
Kong Jie finally stood up and said: "Kong Jie, the commander of the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, has been ordered to come to Tianjin this time to escort you to the headquarters of the Taihang Base Area. Comrades, I'm sorry, we are late!" Everyone responded one after another, and some stood up and shook hands with Kong Jie.
The Eighth Route Army dispatched a regiment commander to the enemy's territory and took great risks to meet with everyone.
Professors, experts, and overseas Chinese representatives fully felt that the Eighth Route Army valued everyone.
Zhou Jianren, who has been responsible for collecting information from the outside world, has obviously heard of the name of the Independent Group. After Kong Jie said this, Zhou Jianren said with a look of surprise:
"Comrades, I'm afraid you know too little about Commander Kong."
"It is no exaggeration to say that if the Japanese army knew that Commander Kong was in Tianjin at this time, I am afraid that successive troops would rush over immediately."
Seeing the professor, the representatives were confused. Zhou Jianren smiled and said:
"Why, everyone doesn't believe it?"
"Then I might as well tell you that Comrade Mulin (Mu) is cautious in character and has kept the identity of the comrade leading the team confidential."
"It's just that I never thought that the person leading the team this time would be Captain Kong."
"The news came a few days ago that the Japanese army in North China launched a large-scale raid against our army's Taihang base area. This raid ended in failure due to the counterattack of the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army. Among them, members of the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army
The performance is the most outstanding.”
"Not only did we defend the base area of the Independence Regiment, we even defeated the joint advance of eleven Japanese brigades."
"It is said that the commander of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi tried to eliminate the independent regiment again and again, but failed repeatedly."
"The Hebei-Shandong-Henan base area is not too far away from us. If you go and inquire a little bit, you will know the reputation of the Independent Regiment led by Commander Kong. Many Japanese and traitors in Hebei-Shandong-Henan Province heard the name of the Independent Regiment.
I was even trembling with fear."
Zhou Jianren reminded others that they immediately came to their senses.
An overseas Chinese representative shook hands with Kong Jie excitedly: "Comrade leader, I have admired you for a long time. I have read some newspapers published in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area, and I have seen the words "Independent Regiment" in the newspapers many times."
"Even in the newspapers published by the Japanese army, I have seen your Independence Group. Of course, the Japanese army hates your Independence Group with all their teeth."
Zhou Jianren introduced: "Comrade Kong, Comrade Sun Nianguo is one of the overseas Chinese representatives. He has studied in Japan and is proficient in Japanese. We usually get a lot of information through Comrade Nianguo and from newspapers published by the Japanese army."<
/p>
Kong Jie looked at the young man in his early twenties in front of him and said with emotion: "Comrade Nian Guo, thank you for your hard work. Young people are promising and care about the motherland. With talents like you here, why worry about the failure of the motherland?"
Sun Nianguo quickly shook his head and said: "What Commander Kong said makes us so ashamed. Since ancient times, during wars, Bai Wuyi was just a scholar. Compared to us, Commander Kong, you are waiting on the front line to kill the enemy.
The iron-blooded generals who are afraid of sacrifice are the real heroes."
Kong Jie said with a smile: "What you are saying, Comrade Nian Guo, you don't know. If you come to our base area, educated people and college students like you will be rare. I'm afraid there will be dozens of regiment leaders begging for help."
The headquarters wants you!"
"But as the saying goes, those who are closer to the water get the better. Comrade Nian Guo, if you consider staying behind enemy lines to participate in the anti-Japanese cause, you must first consider our independent regiment."
"As for being a scholar who is useless at all, it depends on what kind of scholar he is. If he is a promising scholar like Comrade Nian Guo who cares about the motherland and is not afraid of hardships and dangers and mediates in the enemy's territory, then that is a big deal.
It’s very useful!”
"Over the years, overseas Chinese have donated money and materials to support the fight against Japan behind enemy lines. If you, the overseas Chinese representatives, hadn't called for help, the situation behind enemy lines would have only become more difficult."
"After all, Comrade Nian Guo, I should express my gratitude to our overseas Chinese compatriots on behalf of all the Eighth Route Army soldiers!"
The approachable Kong Jie quickly livened up the atmosphere.
A group of underground party comrades, experts, professors, and overseas Chinese representatives also felt the special personality charm of this iron-blooded leader in treating his comrades in private.
Then when it came to business, Kong Jie said: "Comrades, it is expected that in the early morning of five days from now, after the sky has just brightened, we will immediately carry out the transfer plan."
"I have prepared the specific transportation methods and routes. In just five days, we will travel along the Yellow River with the merchant ships of American merchants. We can reach the Taihang area quickly without any obstruction."
Sun Nianguo worriedly asked: "Captain Kong, what about the three professors Zhao Guo, Qian Xuezhong, and Chen Dong?"
Kong Jie said: "Comrade Nian Guo, don't worry, we have also made arrangements. We have collected enough information in the past few days about the three professors' specific daily itineraries and activities. In the night before departure on the fifth day, we
The three professors will be rescued in time and put on a merchant ship for transfer."
"But there are many Japanese guards near the three professors' residences. If they are alerted in advance..." Sun Nianguo Road.
Ye Min, who was next to Kong Jie, smiled and said: "Then we won't alarm you. Are there more than twenty Japanese soldiers around the three professors' residences?"
Sun Nianguo shook his head, "That's not true."
Ye Mindao: "That's easy to say. With four team members acting together, it can be easily solved."
"This is..."
"This is our deputy team." Mu Mu introduced at the side, and then added: "Our commando team has always been commanded by Deputy Ye. Once, with twenty or thirty men, we penetrated deep into the Japanese airport and blew up the heavily guarded Japanese army in one fell swoop.
Mingbao Airport."
"It's not that we are bragging, we just look down upon these professor's devils."
Everyone looked surprised.
Cao Zheng, the leader of the fire team on the side, shouted with a straight face: "I'm talking about wood. The leader has always said that our commando team should be low-key. Do you understand low-key?"
"How can such a high-profile thing like blowing up the Japanese airport be mentioned so easily? Let's talk about something else. Just say that the Japanese treasury was robbed two days ago, and then several banks were robbed in broad daylight. This
This is what our commando team did."
Kong Jie: "..."
Ye Min: "..."
Experts, professors and overseas Chinese representatives were immediately shocked.
In the past few days, newspapers have frequently published stories about the huge case of robbers robbing a Japanese bank. Everyone has heard about it.
The rampant robbers are amazing, but there are also many Chinese who secretly applaud because the bank was robbed by the Japanese army.
But I didn’t expect that the real owner was actually here.
Zhou Jianren smiled and said: "Nian Guo, all of you must not question Commander Kong and the combat effectiveness of the commando comrades led by Commander Kong himself this time."
"The order sent from the headquarters not long ago said that the comrades who are escorting us this time can be said to be the most elite and powerful small combat force in the entire Taihang region."
Sun Nianguo swallowed, digesting the shock in his heart, "Old Zhou, I just want to know now, was it really Captain Kong and the others who robbed the daily treasury and bank a few days ago?"
Zhou Jianren smiled and said: "Can this be false? Our underground party comrades are actually involved. Of course, we are only responsible for the outermost support."
"We also had doubts at the beginning. Like you, we thought this was too risky."
"But in the blink of an eye, the comrades of the commando team robbed the Japanese treasury bank, and Commander Kong also gave us a generous sum of money to the Tianjin underground party!"
After everyone heard this, they were all amazed. Now they were completely relieved about rescuing the three professors.
The Japs' well-guarded vaults and banks can be robbed in broad daylight, and the Japs can't find a trace of them even after searching the whole city.
What else can such a powerful small combat force not do?
Then, the formal details were discussed, and everyone agreed that in the early morning five days later, everyone would evacuate under the escort of the commando team and the cooperation and cover of the underground party comrades.
Zhou Jianren spoke at this time: "Captain Kong, you are a capable person in the Taihang Base Area. In the entire Taihang Base Area, the independent regiment has the fastest development, and the development of the base area is also the best. The headquarters has praised you so much."
Full of praise."
"This time my superiors sent me to meet with you, but they also hinted to me several times to learn from you."
"We heard that near the Taihang base area, the independent regiment led by Commander Kong not only developed rapidly, but also the economy of the base area grew rapidly. It even made the most outstanding intelligence development work in the surrounding enemy-occupied counties and counties."
"And we in the Tianjin underground are mainly engaged in intelligence collection, so our superiors want Commander Kong to teach us some experience."
Mumu smiled and said: "Old Zhou, then you have found the right person."
"I'm not bragging. In the major Japanese counties near our independent regiment's home base, including Taiyuan City, the base camp of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi, if there is any disturbance from the Japanese, our regiment commander will receive the news immediately.<
/p>
Why?
Because in the major surrounding counties and cities, there are intelligence systems we have developed, underground transportation stations that connect, cover, and assist each other, as well as enemy engineering departments that are deeply embedded in the puppet military system.
Our regiment leader often said that this war is fought with poor information. If we can master more and more detailed intelligence than the Japanese army, we will be invincible in the battle."
After Zhou Jianren heard this, he quickly looked at Kong Jie: "Commander Kong, please give us some experience!"
Kong Jie glared at Mu Mu and said, "Old Zhou, don't listen to Mu Mu's nonsense.
The comrades of the Tianjin underground party have been able to mediate under the eyes of the enemy for so many years, deliver important information, and even provide covert material and intelligence support for the development of base areas behind enemy lines. I, Kong Jie, also admire this ability.
of."
"As for how to specifically build intelligence in enemy-occupied areas, we cannot generalize because the environments we are in are different."
"I can talk about my personal views and some experience."
