The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 551 The Rescue Operation Leaving the Tianjin Concession

Kong Jie set the time to leave the Tianjin Concession on the fifth day.

This day is the day that Kong Jie and John agreed.

John will use merchant ships to transport a batch of goods produced and ship them to Shanxi for sale.

Kong Jie took advantage of the days before his departure to hurry up and make all preparations.

On the one hand, let Gao Qiang and Comrade Zhu Xuming, two well-known businessmen sent by the underground party in Tianjin, reach a cooperation agreement with John.

And further let the two parties be familiar with the various businesses of the next cooperation, so as to ensure that Gao Qiang and Zhu Xuming can act as Kong Jie's agents in the American Concession in Tianjin and carry out business cooperation with John.

According to Kong Jie's instructions, Gao Qiang and Zhu Xuming began to try to contact some Soviet businessmen while cooperating with American businessmen.

As for the cash seized from the devil's vault and bank armed forces.

Kong Jie handed over a large part to Gao Qiang and Zhu Xuming as the continuous funds for the follow-up cooperation with American businessman John.

After the lack of subsequent funds, Kong Jie will continue to transport funds to Gao Qiang and Zhu Xuming through merchant ships.

The various business chains within the independent group are now getting bigger and bigger, and the follow-up supply of funds is not a problem.

Another part is used as a deposit to set up future business cooperation with John.

In addition, Kong Jie also secretly discussed with John how to carry out the plan of arms smuggling after the follow-up business is stable and the judgment of the Japanese army is paralyzed.

Everything was planned before Kong Jie left.

On the other hand, Kong Jie continued to plan how to rescue the three professors who were guarded by the Japanese army, and secretly took away all the experts, professors and overseas Chinese representatives who needed to be transferred this time.

And on the fourth day, Kong Jie received the news through the comrades of the underground party in Tianjin, saying that it was because of the large-scale raid on Jizhong by the Japanese army not long ago because of the Jizhong Military Region.

There were a lot of casualties in various troops, and there were many seriously wounded, but the medical level of the Jizhong Military Region was limited and the medicines were insufficient, so I wondered if it would be possible to transport these wounded to the field hospital in Taihang Gen for treatment.

The headquarters then issued an order.

Kong Jie was temporarily ordered, this time not only to continue the original task of escorting a group of experts, professors, and overseas Chinese representatives back.

It is also necessary to think of a way to bring the seriously wounded in the Jizhong Military Region back to the Taihang Roots for treatment on the way.

Under the tight time, the underground party in Tianjin quickly got in touch with Jizhong.

In the end, the time for the two parties to meet was set in the early hours of the fifth day.

At that time, the seriously wounded will be prepared in advance, and all the wounded will be transported on board immediately after the merchant ship arrives.

Of course, in order to conceal their identities, Kong Jie's requirement is that all the wounded must wear civilian clothes.

……

outside the concession.

The major banks are still in turmoil, and the police, as well as the newly transferred Japanese troops, are always on guard.

I'm afraid that the heaven-defying robber will make another rampant robbery.

The military command did not stop complaining. The Japanese army could not find the robbers who robbed the bank vault, so they could only transfer the contradiction to the military command.

Even in the gradual contact between the two sides, the Japanese army also found that the planting this time was too obvious.

But there must be a scapegoat, otherwise it will appear that the Japanese army is incompetent.

It was around four o'clock in the morning on the [-]th, and the night was not over yet.

When the two sides met again, talking about the situation faced by the Juntong after being framed, Zhou Jianren said: "Since the establishment of our underground party in Tianjin, in fact, in addition to the biggest opponent, the Japanese army, the Juntong has always excluded and suppressed us."

"During this period, because the Japanese army couldn't find the robbers, they put the spearhead on the military command, and the various departments of the military command were suppressed. Our secret activities became more and more convenient."

Kong Jie said: "I only hope that through this crackdown, the military command at Tianjin Station can wake up. The enemy we both face is the Japanese army, not creating internal gaps, let alone secretly cooperating with the Japanese army."

"I hope!" Zhou Jianren replied.

The meeting between Kong Jie and Zhou Jianren is the last time that Kong Jie is about to leave Tianjin on loan.

"Old Zhou, after we leave this time, the future operations in Tianjin will only depend on your comrades from the underground party!"

When parting, the two hands were tightly held together, Kong Jieyu said earnestly.

Zhou Jianren paid a military salute to Kong Jie: "Please rest assured, Commander Kong, all our underground party members will definitely complete the task to the death!"

Kong Jie said: "Old Zhou, I feel relieved with your words. The next rescue operation will be entrusted to our commando team. In order to conceal your identity, you should not show up again."

"Yes!"

"Take care of yourself!"

"Captain Kong, take care!"

The two sides bid farewell, and Kong Jie ordered the operation to begin.

The commando team was divided into two operations. Kong Jie led a team to escort Sun Nianguo and other overseas Chinese representatives, experts and professors, a total of 17 people, to board the ship in advance.

Ye Min, the deputy captain of the commando team, led the rest of the team to the homes of the three professors and rescued Zhao Guo, Qian Xuezhong and Chen Dong respectively.

The route, plan, and various preparations for the rescue of the three professors have been in preparation for many days, and it is only due to Dongfeng.

Putting the rescue time at four in the morning was also a judgment made by Kong Jie after careful consideration.

The time is too early, after killing the guards of the devils, it is easy to startle the snake.

At that time, the sky was not yet bright, the ferry was not opened, and merchant ships could not leave the Tianjin Concession. Once the Japanese army noticed it, it would be a big disaster.

Kong Jie set the time to rescue the three professors within two hours before departure.

After the three professors were rescued and transferred to the merchant ship, the merchant ship just set off. When the Japanese army discovered that the three professors had escaped, the merchant ship had already gone down the river.

Anyway, it is an American merchant ship. As long as the devils can't get a handle, they will have nothing to do with American businessmen such as John.

On the merchant ship, Kong Jie and his party had arrived. Everyone stood on the deck, looking at the sky not far away, with somewhat worried faces.

This merchant ship was John's private merchant ship, and John did not rush to Shanxi this time.

The American businessman in charge of the merchant ship this time is John's second-in-command, and he has won John's trust. His name is Joe Foss.

Before leaving, John made an entrustment to Joe Foss:

This time, I will mainly escort Mr. Xu and his party to leave, and just follow Mr. Xu's instructions in everything.

Kong Jie told John that this time, he might bring some friends from the cooperation and leave together on a merchant ship.

John didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and agreed.

"Mr. Xu, haven't your friends arrived yet?"

Beside Kong Jie, Joe Fuss asked with a smile. Compared with John, his Chinese is much worse, and he has a foreign accent when he speaks.

But it is said that the equipment carried by the members of the commando team on this trip is actually quite concealed.

It's already summer, and everyone doesn't wear much.

They didn't carry all kinds of equipment on weekdays, but each was equipped with a close-fitting pistol.

After all, this time I was going to work in the Tianjin Concession. Once there is a large-scale exchange of fire on the surface, the commando team is basically not far from extinction.

Therefore, whether it is the operation to seize the devil's bank vault by armed forces, or the operation to rescue the three professors, it is mainly based on secret and rapid operations.

In this rescue, the actions of the three professors were even more demanding. They didn't let go of a single shot the whole time, eliminated the ghost guarding the professor, and then rescued the three professors quietly.

Joe Foss was unaware of the true identities of the commando members and the hidden weapons on their bodies.

What Joe Fuss noticed was the anxiety and anxiety on the faces of Kong Jie's so-called friends.

In addition, what kind of friend is this, who insists on leaving in the middle of the night with the help of a merchant ship?

But John specifically entrusted Joe Foss:

The identity of Mr. Xu is by no means as simple as a Chinese businessman. No matter what you see or hear along the way, as long as it doesn’t hurt us Americans, just treat it as if you didn’t see anything!
This is our big benefactor, even if it is to make money, he has to turn a blind eye.

Facing Qiao Fusi's inquiry, Kong Jie smiled and said, "It should be here soon."

Everyone waited for another twenty minutes. It was close to six o'clock in the morning, and the sky was already pale.

In the sight of Kong Jie and his party, a group of people appeared not far away.

Ye Min arrived with the commando members.

Sandwiched in the team, there are three professors who were rescued by the team members.

"Joe, my friends are here." Kong Jie turned and said to Joe Foss.

Joe Fuss quickly arranged for people to put down the gangplank, and Ye Min and his party led the three professors to get on the boat through the gangplank.

When the two sides met, Kong Jie was the first to ask, "Ye Min, the road is dark at night, did any accident happen on the road?"

Ye Min shook his head, and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, the boss, it went well, and we walked more carefully."

Kong Jie nodded, and then looked at the three professors. The age of the three professors should be above forty, with a little gray mixed in their hair.

On the way here, Ye Min had already explained to the three professors the matter of leaving this time with the help of an American merchant ship.

So it was not the time for the two sides to exchange pleasantries. The three professors nodded slightly at Kong Jie, and then they were caught in the crowd and stopped talking.

Kong Jie said to Joe Foss: "Joe, I have invited some workers and some friends to Tianjin this time, and now everyone is here."

"Okay, then let's go, it's almost time for the ferry to open!" Joe Foss nodded.

On the other side of the ferry, the Japanese have time control over the ferry.

But when the time comes, they dare not stop American merchant ships.

After Jobs made a handover with the Japanese army, the Japanese army let the merchant ship leave.

The merchant ship started to sail in the river, Kong Jie breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and finally embarked on the return journey smoothly.

This first task is more than half done.

The next step is to bring the wounded in Jizhong on board after the merchant ship arrives in the Jizhong area and send them back to the base safely.

On the way, Kong Jie was thinking in his heart, how should he find an excuse to explain to Joe Foss...
