Agents of the Republic of China

In the early hours of the morning, Chang Huan also woke up. The bullet in his thigh had been taken out, and Zhikong and the others had brought anti-inflammatory drugs, so he only needed to rest for a while to recover.

When Lin Xiaotang asked about the situation of Liu Chengfeng and others, Chang Huan fell silent for a moment, and Lin Xiaotang didn't ask any more questions. Even if Chang Huan didn't say anything, he could guess the general situation.Li Baochu's defection to the enemy caused him to lose several loyal subordinates, as well as shopkeeper Qiu and the others, who also sacrificed in vain, and Chen Gongtu and the others, it is estimated that it was more or less auspicious.

A trip full of confidence to Beiping unexpectedly came to such a result. Lin Xiaotang felt that all the responsibility belonged to himself, so it was necessary to reflect on it.I didn't find out the details of Li Baochu, so I met him hastily. Fortunately, the shopkeeper Qiu acted carefully at that time and didn't let Li Baochu get in touch with the contact point. Otherwise, it must be Lin Xiaotang himself who has been exposed now.

Lin Xiaotang borrowed casual clothes from Zhikong, and put them on in silence, Zhikong couldn't help but asked, "Xiaotang, aren't you planning to go out?"

Lin Xiaotang nodded, "I'll go out to see the situation, and I'll go back to our contact point to have a look. Now I have to find a way to get in touch with Nanjing or Shanghai."

Zhikong nodded, "Then you must be careful. I'll go out later and contact our brothers. If they know that Instructor Lin's younger brother has come to Beiping, and they want to take us to fight devils, it will be fun!"

There are more than 50 comrades in Zhikong's military training regiment lurking in Peiping, all of whom were left behind after the War of Resistance in Beiping. They were hidden among the market. Relying on them to establish the Beiping station is only an expedient measure. After all, they are soldiers, not professionals. What Lin Xiaotang has to do now is to quickly mobilize a group of agents from Nanjing or Shanghai to Beiping to participate in the reconstruction, hand in hand with the various skills of these veterans, so that they can quickly change roles and become real spies.

……

It snowed heavily all night, and finally stopped in the morning. The snow was buried up to the ankles, but because it was the first snow in Beiping today, the snow didn't last long, and it started to melt. The road was extremely muddy.

Lin Xiaotang wore a dark blue gown covered in cloth, and a cap with dewy cotton on his head. He covered most of his face with the scarf given to him by Zhikong, with his hands wrapped in his sleeves. conspicuous.

Arriving at Houmen Street, Lin Xiaotang was wandering among many antique shops, but his gaze was looking towards Jinwenzhai intentionally or unintentionally.The gate of Jinwenzhai was closed tightly, and it seemed that they had received news that the people here had already retreated.

Lin Xiaotang bought a marinated stew, and chatted with the owner of a second-hand bookstore while eating. Fortunately, Lin Xiaotang's judgment was correct. The Japanese have not yet discovered this contact point.

The owner of the second-hand bookstore smoked a long pipe, smacked his lips, and spat out a few shreds of tobacco, "Today's business is not as good as yesterday. Didn't the whole city go to Andingmen to watch the excitement?"

Lin Xiaotang replied casually, "What is there to see at Andingmen?"

The boss smiled, "My lord, you don't know, it was very lively last night, and the sound of guns and guns was so loud that it lasted most of the night, scaring me so much that I almost didn't get under the bed!"

The boss took a deep breath of cigarette and spit out thick phlegm, "I just found out after inquiring about it this morning. I heard that many people died in the fight with people in Little Japan last night. Did you see the Jinwenzhai on our street?" , the shopkeeper Qiu turned out to be an anti-Japanese element, and died at You'anmen East Street last night. Tell me, why didn't I see him as such a character before, what a pity!"

The boss went on to say: "A lot of people died in the little Japan at the latest. I heard that the corpses of the shopkeeper Qiu and others were hung at the Anding Gate to show the public today, and the little Japan who raped his uncle. When people died, everyone died. If An Sheng is not allowed to be exposed to the sun for ten days, as a warning to others, is this a fucking thing done by a human? Hey, where is the human?"

An uncontrollable anger suddenly rose in Lin Xiaotang's chest, he swallowed the fire in two or three gulps, and prepared to go to Andingmen to see what happened.

Not long after walking out, Lin Xiaotang vigilantly found that he was being watched.

He didn't look back, but walked straight into the narrow alley next to him, and the man behind him followed closely.

Putting a hand on Lin Xiaotang's shoulder, Lin Xiaotang was already prepared.Just about to turn around and punch, but when he saw the man's face, he was taken aback, "Jason, why are you here?"

Zhan Sen shook his head at Lin Xiaotang, signaling him to follow him, and the two turned around in the alley. After making sure that no one was following them, they found a seat at a tea stall by the side of the road.

"On the day you left, Mr. Shang found me and asked me to come to Beiping to protect you secretly. I found the contact point this morning, but found that the building was empty. I had no choice but to hang around here and ask about you by the way. Then I heard about what happened last night!"

Lin Xiaotang sighed, "It's a big somersault this time. Liu Chengfeng and his four brothers were all killed. The shopkeeper Qiu at the contact point also died, as well as Chen Gongtu and the others!"

Jason was stunned, "Liu Chengfeng, Captain Liu...!"

Jason sighed faintly, and then said: "I still owe him the debt, I can't think of..., alas!:

Lin Xiaotang persuaded: "The things you had in the past were all misunderstandings, don't keep it in your heart. Lao Liu is not an ignorant person. Although he has been ignoring you for so many days, he has never said a word to you. no!"

Jason nodded silently. "Mr. Lin, what are your plans next? Let me escort you back to Shanghai first?"

A murderous intent suddenly appeared in Lin Xiaotang's eyes, "The Japanese hang shopkeeper Qiu and his corpses at the Andingmen for public display. I will find a way to steal their remains. I can't let them die and live in peace!"

……

Lin Xiaotang took Jason to answer Longquan Temple, at this time, Zhikong also returned to the temple with two capable men.

Zhikong introduced these two people to Lin Xiaotang, one is Liu Baojia and the other is Qin Han. Both of them were officers of the Special Service Company of the Military Training Corps.At present, both of them are working in the pseudo-police department in Beiping, and Liu Baojia is also a leader of the household registration department.

When the two saw Lin Xiaotang and learned that he was Lin Xiaojun's younger brother, they looked very affectionate, and they were very embarrassed when they talked about the past.

Lin Xiaotang asked about what happened to Liu Bao's family last night, not to mention, Liu Bao's family really knew something inside.

It turned out that not long ago, Hou Dachun, who was in charge of Zhongtong's underground activities in Beiping, was arrested and quickly defected to the Japanese. From this, the Zhongtong's underground organization was completely destroyed by the Japanese.It also involved the military control of Beiping Station, and a large number of people were arrested, and Li Baochu was one of them.Li Baochu was tortured, but he agreed to cooperate with the Japanese. After he was released, he was able to get in touch with the Shanghai Navy. Later, he took advantage of Chen Gongtu's eagerness to get rid of Lin Xiaotang, and led him to Peiping.

Lin Xiaotang guessed that the time Shopkeeper Qiu found Li Baochu was probably when he was just released, but he made a mistake and led himself into the trap of the Japanese.

Lin Xiaotang told Zhikong and the other three about his plan to snatch back the remains of Shopkeeper Qiu and others. The three looked at each other, and Zhikong shook his head, "It's too risky, Xiaotang, don't get me wrong, I'm not against your plan, but Since what happened last night, the situation in Beiping City has become much stricter than usual. At this time, it is too difficult to get the corpse back at Andingmen. If we are not careful, we will lose more people!"

Lin Xiaotang nodded helplessly, "Why don't I know this, but when I think of Shopkeeper Qiu and the others being hung in the cold wind, my heart hurts like a knife!"

Liu Baojia suddenly raised his head, "I don't think it's impossible."

Lin Xiaotang and the others immediately turned their heads to look at Liu Bao's family.

Liu Baojia explained in detail: "In the past two days, the police station has cooperated with the Japanese to search and arrest the whole city. There are several times more guard posts and patrols in the city than before. But I know about Andingmen. As far as I know, it is There are two corpses hanging, the Japanese obviously don’t care about this, and there are not many sentry posts, as long as we act quickly, we should be able to succeed!”

Qin Han on the side suddenly interrupted, "Brother Liu, what time did the garbage truck pass by in the morning at Andingmen?"

"Five o'clock!" Liu Baojia replied subconsciously, "You mean...?"

Qin Han nodded, "That's right, use the garbage truck to pick up the body!"

Zhikong slapped his hands, "You two guys, it seems that you have a plan in your mind! As long as you can deal with it, the big problem will be solved, and the matter of grabbing the body will be left to me. I will take a few brothers to the Andingmen at night and say You have to take back the body for anything!"

Lin Xiaotang waved his hand, "Brother Chen, leave the matter of robbing the body to me, and you can send me two people. At five o'clock tomorrow morning, you will be responsible for getting the garbage truck to pick us up on time, load the body into the car and go out of the city. We have our own way to get out!"

Liu Baojia and Qin Han nodded, "No problem, we will respond on time. Others, what else do we need to prepare?"

Lin Xiaotang thought about it carefully again, "Brother Liu, tell me the security situation at Andingmen in detail, including the number of Japanese, patrol time and rules, etc. It must be comprehensive, and there must be no omissions."

Liu Baojia nodded in agreement.

After confirming the plan, everyone's hearts were relieved.

Liu Baojia turned to Zhikong, "Brother Chen, the matter you asked me to investigate earlier has already taken shape."

Zhikong immediately stood up, "Say it!"

Liu Baojia's complexion was serious, "Our guess is correct. At that time, Instructor Lin and Instructor Bai suspected that an insider was responsible for this incident and leaked the retreat route of our 132nd Division. That's why the little devil calmly set up an ambush in the Tianluozhuang area. Deputy Commander Tong He and Commander Zhao also died heroically for this reason. This matter was covered up for so long, until not long ago, by chance, I came into contact with the files of the Japanese army about the Tianluozhuang battle at that time. Ask a reliable person to translate to find out the traitor's name!"

Zhikong clenched his fist, "Who is it?"
