Although the Luoyang office was closed down, most of the personnel were evacuated, and a few were arrested, the office was only a legal institution on the surface, and there were still many lurking people in the city.
Among them, some are affiliated with the Social Work Department of the Northern Bureau, and some are affiliated with the Enemy Industry Department of the Eighth Route Army military regions at all levels. The Enemy Industry Department of the Tainan Military Region has an intelligence stronghold in Luoyang City.
A car parked in front of a house under the city.
Song Xiaoan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, turned around and said, "Brother Six, we've arrived at our residence!"
"Well!" Zheng Yao, who was drunk, opened his eyes first: "Okay, you can go back!"
"Brother Six, you are already a grown man. It's time to find a partner to accompany you!"
"Don't you know the family rules of our military commander? Do you have to let the boss do it according to his family rules?"
"Hey, family rules are family rules, but look at it, any of the local officials in our military command don't have several women outside. Even if the boss finds out, he's not married, right?"
Zhou Weihan quickly browsed the content and asked the brigade commander's opinion.
After reading the contents on the paper clearly, Guan Hongbo's breathing became rapid. The day before yesterday, his superiors sent a telegram, asking him to find a way to find out where the comrades detained in the Luobao Office were.
Guan Hongbo is the person in charge of the intelligence front dispatched to Luoyang City by the Enemy Engineering Department of the Tainan Military Region.
Among the agents who participated in the arrest that year, Guan Hongbo only knew Zheng Yaoxian.
"loyalty!"
Zheng Yaoxian wrote to the end, feeling a little hesitant about how to sign his name. After all, he had never had horizontal contact with other comrades, so how to gain trust was a difficult problem.
This is one of the reasons why the two sides have been fighting openly and secretly over the years.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Guan Hongbo worked as an instructor at the Taihang Branch of the Anti-Japanese University. After hearing that Zheng Yaoxian had arrived in Luoyang, it happened that the Tainan Military Region's Enemy Industry Department lacked independent comrades in Luoyang, so Guan Hongbo took the initiative to go to Luoyang.
"Comrade Danxin is really powerful. We don't have such a figure in the Taiyue Military Region. Is it possible that the headquarters or the northern bureau directly control the intelligence line?" The brigade commander guessed: "The captured comrade will be sent to the police in three days.
Press the concentration camps to the west!”
"Commander **, the telegram forwarded by Yama Wangshan!"
"Shopkeeper, what's wrong?"
Inside the house, Zheng Yaoxian put a towel soaked in cold water on his face, thinking about the Eighth Route Army's Luoyang office.
This courtyard in Luoyang City is only a temporary residence, so only Zheng Yaoxian lives there.
We can only take a gamble. As his single-line contact, Lu Hanqing may have contact with other underground parties in Luoyang City.
Not long after Zheng Yaoxian left, the shopkeeper of the grocery store came out of the front shop. Just as he was about to open the door of his residence, he found that the window on the right was pouring air into the house.
That night ten years ago left a deep impression on him. The head of our party's intelligence front in Nanchang and his wife died on the spot. How could he forget the only survivor Guan Hongbo.
On the one hand, he personally selected the medicinal materials, and on the other hand, he reported the work face to face to his superiors. What was inappropriate was that when the comrades from the Luoyang office were arrested, Lu Hanqing had already set off from Luoyang.
Regarding Kite's situation, only Vice Minister Qian and the Minister of the entire Social Work Department knew about it. Danxin was Kite's sponsor, but unfortunately, Lu Hanqing had to go to Pingshun's medicinal materials market in person once a month.
The intelligence carried by Guan Hongbo was indeed important and related to the National Army's encirclement and suppression of the Soviet area. It was this intelligence that reduced the casualties of the Red Army troops.
"It was passed on by the intelligence team of the Enemy Industry Department of our military region lurking in Luoyang City. As far as I know, the comrade in charge in Luoyang City is an old love worker. Although it is not clear who sent it, but he can
If you report it here, there won’t be any problems!”
"Is it a comrade sent by the organization to lurk within the national army?"
Tonight, I discussed with two comrades dressed as clerks whether we should take a risk and go to the black market to explore the situation.
After this encounter, the two never interacted with each other again, but they both developed in their own ways. Zheng Yaoxian changed from a newcomer in the Lanyi Club to the sixth brother of the military commander.
The person who specifically carried out the arrest task was Yu Tianming, director of the Political Training Department.
At that time, Nanchang was the headquarters of the Central Government. At that time, the military commander was lurking inside the Central Government and there was an intelligence message that the Central Government was planning a large-scale operation to arrest the top leaders of the Communist Party tonight. As a result, Zheng Yaoxian's superior at that time was a step ahead and intercepted the police.
Hu of Zhongtong.
Zheng Yao first took out a palm-sized wooden box from under the bed, opened it, and found four large yellow croakers inside. He stuffed the note into it, then changed his clothes and climbed out from the back wall.
After a long time, Zheng Yaoxian seemed to have made up his mind. He took out a piece of white paper, looked at his left and right hands, and finally picked up the pen with his left hand.
The hidden identity in Luoyang City is that of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner at Huichun Hall, a patriotic doctor who went to Luoyang specifically to help the frontline soldiers.
The order to close the office was issued by the First War Zone Commander's Department, and Zheng Yaoxian was not able to get the news in advance, so it seems that it was really an impromptu decision by some senior official.
Today is the celebration party for the Luoyang Station of the Military Command. As the station commander, Zheng Yaoxian was inevitably persuaded to drink a few more drinks by his brothers below.
As he said this, Guan Hongbo checked under the bed and found that the weapon was still there.
This puts Guan Hongbo in trouble. The line he is responsible for has just been lurking in Luoyang City for more than a year. Whether they are personnel assigned by superiors or developed by themselves, although there are some lurking within the national army, their positions are too high.
Low, no useful information can be obtained.
"You guys, go and have a rest. I'll call you if something happens!"
Guan Hongbo will never forget that night when his supervisor and teacher called him to his residence, and soon a large number of spies surrounded the teacher's residence.
Zheng Yaoxian finally attached the code name of Lu Hanqing, who also came to Luoyang after Zheng Yaoxian took charge of the work of the Luoyang station.
The military commanders did not know at the time that an important piece of information slipped before their eyes on the day of the arrest.
"It may be the intelligence line controlled by the headquarters or the Northern Bureau. In the early years, it was lurking within the national army. He served in key departments in Luoyang City and his status was not low. Otherwise, he would not be able to obtain this information and may have lost contact with the organization!"
It didn't take long for this information to reach Zhou Weihan's hands.
That day, the old man held a military meeting at the camp in Nanchang to encircle and suppress the Red Army. As a result, the relevant content in the evening was in the hands of the Communist Party. The military commander and the central commander have been investigating this unsolved case for many years.
Zheng Yaoxian, who was on his way back to his residence, was also thinking a lot. Although he had driven by the grocery store many times before, he had never met Guan Hongbo face to face.
After the two guys left, Guan Hongbo closed the door and windows again. Zheng Yao, who was on the roof next door, saw this first and felt relieved a little.
In order to confirm the authenticity of the contents of the telegram, the brigade commander felt that there was still enough time anyway, so he asked his superiors to check it on his behalf.
"Shopkeeper, here is a wooden box, it's quite heavy!"
Zhou Weihan even wondered if Danxin was another codename of Zheng Yaoxian. After all, only lurkers of Zheng Yaoxian's level could obtain such important information.
Guan Hongbo never expected that the person coming would be Zheng Yaoxian, whom he had been thinking about deeply.
"Why did you find me here? When did he find out?"
As soon as you think about it, ready-made information will be delivered to your door.
The owner of this grocery store once followed Zheng Yaoxian, but his skills were inferior to others, and he was finally discovered by Zheng Yaoxian. Afterwards, Zheng Yaoxian conducted an investigation and found out that he was not Japanese or the Central Government. It is self-evident who he was.
Zheng Yaoxian has also been paying attention to this case over the years. As his position in the military increased, he gradually learned some things.
At this time, Zhou Weihan and the brigade commander had already arrived at the Yellow River ferry and were hiding in a mountain forest in the north of Luoyang City.
It was precisely because Zheng Yaoxian was shot that the pursuit of the agents led by him was slowed down.
"As for Comrade Danxin mentioned in the telegram, I don't know much about it!" Zhou Weihan said.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Zheng Yaoxian walked straight to a grocery store in the north of the city. At this time, the shops facing the street had already closed.
During the first Agrarian Revolution, when the military command was still called Lanyishe, Guan Hongbo had dealt with Zheng Yaoxian.
This piece of information reached the hands of Deputy Director Qian of the Social Work Department of the Northern Bureau. She was shocked when she saw the contents of the telegram. Danxin must be on her way back to Luoyang.
Guan Hongbo looked around the hut, which was about ten square meters in total, and found no one: "I clearly locked the window, but now it's open. Someone must have been here!"
"Is the source of the intelligence reliable?" the brigade commander asked.
Afterwards, the two groups of military commanders and central commanders almost got into a fight at the place of capture. The matter was brought to the attention of the old man. Only then did the person in charge of the military commanders in Nanchang realize that an important piece of information might have slipped through their eyes that night.
"yes!"
"loyalty?"
What Guan Hongbo didn't know was that Zheng Yaoxian was also very anxious at that time. When he saw his comrades breaking out from the direction he was responsible for, he subconsciously wanted to avoid them.
"Shopkeeper, is there no one there?"
At noon the next day, Guan Hongbo, who had not slept all night, first sent people to investigate the two locations mentioned in the intelligence report. After getting a confirmed reply, he found the intelligence officer of the group and forwarded the intelligence to the enemy's Ministry of Industry.
In the end, the teacher asked him to retreat immediately with important information, and the teacher and his wife sacrificed their lives to protect him.
The three of them cautiously approached the residence. One clerk was squatting under the window. Guan Hongbo was responsible for opening the door, while the other clerk was preparing to rush in through the door.
Zheng Yao got out of the car first and watched Song Xiaoan's car gradually disappear into the night.
"Yuan Xiaoxuan, No. 13 Chenghe Road, there are four guards in the safe house. The surrounding troops are far away, so you can take action directly!"
According to Zheng Yaoxian's speculation, this official could only be Qian Dajun who returned from the Eighth Route Army headquarters at that time.
As a result, the person in charge of the military commander was removed from his post, and there was a consensus within the military commander that the central commander was using the situation to take revenge on the military commander.
In order to obtain accurate information as soon as possible, the Social Work Department hurriedly found Lu Hanqing and ordered him to return to Luoyang quickly and contact Kite as soon as possible.
"If necessary, grab your weapons!" Guan Hongbo slid the door bar behind his door.
Today, by the light of the street lamp, he recognized at a glance that it was his comrade who escaped from him.
Guan Hongbo took the wooden box, which was heavy in his hands, and then carefully opened the lid, revealing a piece of folded white paper first.
Seeing that the window was open, he placed the wooden box directly at the corner of the window, but the window was not closed.
Zheng Yaoxian had passed by the grocery store in front of him many times. Why did Zheng Yaoxian know that it was our party's underground transportation station? The reason was very simple.
Guan Hongbo stared at the open window, quietly retreated to the store, and called out to the two clerks who lived in the store.
Zheng Yaoxian also asked Lu Hanqing about the origin of the grocery store, but Lu Hanqing said that he should inform the organization, but in the end he said nothing. When Zheng Yaoxian asked again, Lu Hanqing always shied away.
Guan Hongbo has been trying to find out the cause and effect of what happened back then. He even believed that it was his own whereabouts that were accidentally exposed, which led to the agents discovering the teacher's residence.
"It's useless to talk about it. Go back and get some rest early!"
That night, when he climbed out from the back wall, he happened to encounter Zheng Yaoxian leading a team to intercept him at the back door. The two collided with each other. He reacted quickly and shot Zheng Yaoxian first, knocking him down and then escaped.
Guan Hongbo smelled the smell of ink again. It was not a random brand. All kinds of doubts flashed through Guan Hongbo's mind.
The house facing the street of the grocery store was still dimly lit, but there was no movement at all in the residence behind it. Zheng Yao climbed into the yard and went straight to the window of the back room. After realizing that no one was in the house, he took out a dagger and opened the window.
Gently push the latch open.
Zheng Yaoxian's hard-pen calligraphy is very good. Even if the fonts written with his right hand are deliberately adjusted, some traces will inevitably be seen, so he simply writes with his left hand.
Guan Hongbo was not a love worker trained by the Enemy Industry Department of the Tainan Military Region itself. Like He Wensheng, the director of the Enemy Industry Department, he was sent by his superiors.
Zheng Yaoxian left the towel on the table, lit a cigarette, and fell into deep thought. His supervisor had not been in the city for the past two days, but the situation of the detainees had changed. Zheng Yaoxian needed to convey this news in time.
However, although Hongbo quickly guessed who the person was, there was no comrade named Danxin on his line.
"The arrested comrades were transferred to No. 9 Courtyard in Sanheli, west of the city, and will be sent to Xijian Concentration Camp three days later!"
This situation made Guan Hongbo, who was originally a little groggy, break out in a cold sweat. He subconsciously touched the back of his waist and found that he did not carry a weapon with him.
As a result, this information about the imprisoned comrades was actually reported by the Enemy Industry Department of the Tainan Military Region, and the person who signed it was Danxin.
Minister Qian knew in his heart that since the report was made by the Enemy Industry Department of the Tainan Military Region, it meant that Danxin had not arrived in Luoyang. Comrade Kite must have used Danxin's name to deliver the information when he saw that Danxin was not in the city.
As for how Kite discovered the enemy's stronghold in the city of the Tainan Military Region, Minister Qian had some impressions. It seemed that Lu Hanqing had mentioned before that Kite had asked about the situation of other lurking personnel in the city.
"What a cautious and cunning old fox. Fortunately, he is his comrade!"
