Agents of the Republic of China

Before he knew it, Lin Xiaotang had joined the training class for half a year.

During this period, many major events happened, but basically there was no good news. On the Sino-Japanese battlefield, the Japanese army retreated steadily. Wuhan and Xuzhou fell one after another.And in Nanjing, a puppet government supported by the Japanese army is in full swing preparations and will soon appear on the stage.

Training is boring and reality is cruel.

The students in the training class also quietly changed.The students gradually split up, and their original ambitions slowly dissipated. Some students from good families, represented by Pei Gang, were good at dancing. It didn't take long for them to have a heated fight with the instructors and the officers of the training class. The officers liked to drink, so they Buy wine and meat; the officials like to play cards, and they will win the game.Anyway, their families are well-off, and they will definitely get a good job in the rear after graduation.

However, the exiled students represented by Lin Xiaotang and Datou can only study and train hard. They are the main force doing physical work, but rewards and promotions basically have no chance for them, because they have no money to honor their superiors.Even after graduation, the most dangerous tasks and positions await them.

The depression in Lin Xiaotang's heart can be imagined, he began to doubt whether his decision to come to the training class was correct.

In a blink of an eye, it has entered early summer, and there have been several spring rains here in Linli. The air has been humid and hot for several days. According to local people, there may be more violent rains in the near future.

In the afternoon, the director Yu Lexing gave a report in person, so all the students gathered in the school auditorium. The strange thing was that the girls squadron did not participate.

Because hundreds of people gathered in the auditorium, the area of ​​the auditorium itself was not large, and many people who had no place had to sit on the floor. Lin Xiaotang, Datou, and Xiaopi followed the usual practice and slipped out when they saw an opportunity.

Behind the school auditorium is a small tributary of the Xiangjiang River. In order to please Dai Li, Yu Lexing built a "Yunong Embankment" named after Dai Li's alias by the river. It is usually used as a rest for the students during outdoor training place.

Dense trees are planted on the embankment, which is the coolest in summer, and the location is secluded, so it has always been the best place for the three of them to skip class.

But today, Lin Xiaotang and the other three had just sat down under the shade of a tree before they could light a cigarette.Lin Xiaotang saw a dozen people walking along the path along the embankment, and the three quickly dodged and hid in the bushes under the embankment.

After a while, more than a dozen people strolled to the middle of the embankment, and stopped right above Lin Xiaotang and the other three, as if admiring the scenery of the embankment.

Lin Xiaotang couldn't help crying secretly, he poked his head out and peeped up secretly, through the bushes, he found that these people were all the leaders of the training class.

Standing in the middle is the chief instructor of the training class, Xie Ligong, beside him are Wang Zuhua, the director of the Political Training Department, Wang Xiang, the director of the General Affairs Department, and others. Shen Zui is also among them. They are all accompanied by a middle-aged man in a gray Chinese tunic suit .Pei Gang, who had returned from his injuries, actually stood beside the middle-aged man with a proud expression on his face.

When he saw the face of the middle-aged man clearly, Lin Xiaotang's heart couldn't help but move.He didn't expect that this middle-aged man was an old acquaintance, and it turned out to be Pei Zhongwei, the Chief Pei whom he and He Chong rescued in Nanjing.

Now he is full of vigor, standing beside Xie Ligong with his hands behind his back, completely gone from the downcast look he had back then.

I only heard Xie Ligong say: "Brother Zhiquan, I'm really sorry today. Director Yu has a report to do. This is personally arranged by Boss Dai. I can only accompany you to review the work of the training class. Director Yu has repeatedly explained , must let me apologize to you, and he will toast you to make amends at dinner later."

Pei Zhongwei chuckled lightly and waved his hands, "Director Yu is too polite. This time I am here with Director Fu Shenglan. Inspection is absolutely out of the question. Brother Jingzhong, you know that I am going to Shanghai soon. The selection of a work assistant is purely based on the arrangement of Shangfeng."

Xie Ligong chuckled, "Brother Zhiquan, don't worry, we will cooperate with all our strength. There are sixty students in the girls squadron of the special training class, all of whom are exile students. Brother Zhiquan will definitely pick the one he is satisfied with tomorrow."

The few people behind suddenly let out a tacit lewd smile.Shen Zui stood at the end of the line with an unnatural expression on his face.

Pei Zhongwei patted Pei Gang on the shoulder, and said to Xie Ligong: "Brother Jingzhong, how is my worthless nephew doing in class? Didn't he bother you?"

Xie Ligong smiled happily, "Where, your nephew is excellent in character and learning. After graduation, he will definitely be a pillar of the party and the country. Director Zheng Jiemin has also greeted Director Yu and me. He will be arranged for him when his studies here are over. Go to Chongqing to work."

Pei Zhongwei nodded, "To be honest, my elder brother also meant the same thing. Xiaogang is spoiled by his family, so it's better to be around his elders."

The group wentssip again, but Pei Zhongwei obviously didn't mean it, and urged everyone to turn around. Everyone laughed and walked towards the campus.

When the group of people walked away, they sat down on the ground with big head and buttocks, pointed at their backs, and said bitterly: "See, this is our officer, with this fucking face, he only knows what kind of job assistant he is looking for. Isn't it a working wife (Note [-])!"

Xiao Pi nodded, "That's the kind of virtue that is an official, but I didn't expect that guy Pei Gang's backstage is quite strong, and Zheng Jiemin can actually say hello in person!"

Lin Xiaotang frowned, "Little fart, you go down first in a while, go to the girls squadron to find Fang Rou, and tell her to be careful!"

Little Fart nodded.

The three of them stayed for a while longer, watching the setting sun slowly sinking and the surroundings gradually becoming darker.Xiaopi said hello to Lin Xiaotang and the two, and was about to go back to find Fang Rou.

Lin Xiaotang called him to stop, and told him to simply call Fang Rou here, and get some wine and side dishes. Today's night sky is cloudless, and the moonlight at night must be very good. A few people took this opportunity to gather here.Anyway, the officer had already announced in the afternoon that he would receive the officer who came to inspect in the evening, and the students could move freely.

Lin Xiaotang suddenly felt a little urgent to urinate, so he greeted Datou and ran to the side of the embankment facing the river to find a place for convenience.

After urinating, Lin Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief, buckled his belt and was about to go up the river bank, when he heard a slight sound coming from the river, he didn't pay attention, thinking it was the fish and shrimp in the river.

But within two steps, Lin Xiaotang keenly heard two faint breathing sounds, he immediately squatted down vigilantly, lurking in the tall grass on the bank.

The surface of the river was dimly illuminated by the newly rising moon, and with the breeze blowing, there was a sound of "crashing" from time to time.

Lin Xiaotang observed the surroundings carefully, the surroundings were still silent, but he should not have heard it wrong.

Lin Xiaotang observed around, and slowly moved his gaze to the river.

wrong!Two thin pipes about five or six inches long stood abruptly on the surface of the water. If the students hadn't just cleaned up the reeds and water plants on the river to cope with today's inspection, these two pipes would definitely not be easy to find.

The two pipes seemed to have life, and they slid straight and quietly towards the shore. As they approached, the sound of breathing became more and more clear.

Lin Xiaotang stared at the two pipes without blinking. There was no doubt that there were two people under the pipes, but who could they be?What are you doing lurking here?Besides, there is also a local garrison guard post on the other side of the river, which is tightly blocked here. What is the purpose of their sneaking in so painstakingly?

Not long after, the pipe approached the shore, and two ghost-like figures appeared in the water one after another. They scanned the surroundings cautiously, and slowly climbed ashore until they were sure they were safe.

The two black shadows simply wiped the river water off their bodies, then quickly climbed up the embankment, followed by Lin Xiaotang, hiding not far from them.

The two black shadows took out small binoculars from their arms, carefully observed the movements in the teaching area of ​​the training class in the distance, and exchanged things from time to time.

Lin Xiaotang could only vaguely hear a few words, which surprised him even more, because the two men in black spoke Japanese.

Lin Xiaotang heard three words: "troop deployment", "core area", and "key attack".

Lin Xiaotang slowly and silently moved towards the back of the man in black. In order to understand the puzzle in his heart, he had no choice but to grab the two of them, even if it was to keep one alive.

But after climbing not far, a deep voice suddenly sounded, "Old Qi, where did you die, didn't you fall into the river? I can't swim! Eh, this is it?"

The big head was standing in front of the two men in black, and was stunned by the two black shadows lying on the ground.The two men in black were also taken aback by the sudden appearance of their fat bodies. Three pairs of eyes were sizing each other up, and fell into a strange silence for a while.

A man in black reacted first, grabbed the big head's ankle, pulled it into his arms, and the big head fell down on the river embankment with an "oops".

Another man in black pulled out a dagger from his arms and stabbed viciously at the big head.

Lin Xiaotang didn't see it well, shook his hand, and threw out a stone that he had already grasped in his hand, hitting the wrist of the man in black, and at the same time, shouted, "Run!"

After all, the big head was also from the training class, and his reaction was not too slow. He immediately rolled on the spot and rolled three or four meters away.

The man in black felt pain in his wrist, and the dagger fell at the sound. He made a gesture to reach for the gun in his waist, but another person quickly held him down and said softly in Japanese: "Don't use the gun!"

The man in black nodded, picked up the dagger and ran towards Lin Xiaotang's hiding place.

And the man in black who was shouting went straight to the big head, and the big head also got up at this time, and broke off a thick branch casually. The dance was impenetrable, and the man in black couldn't help him for a while.

Lin Xiaotang quickly stepped up to meet the man in black who was running towards him, dodged a stab with all his strength, turned around and grabbed his wrist, and when he exerted force on his arm, the man in black couldn't use any strength in the hand holding the dagger, obediently He changed direction quickly, and with a "poof", the dagger pierced directly into his own lower abdomen.

The man in black snorted, Lin Xiaotang grabbed the dagger, leaned against the man in black, and stabbed him a few more times. The man in black opened his eyes wide, looked at Lin Xiaotang in disbelief, and slowly fell limp.

Lin Xiaotang grabbed the dagger tightly, ran towards the big head, and shouted at the same time: "Big head, catch the living!"

Note [-]: Working wife: In addition to the full-time and part-time instructors in the Linli training class of the military command, Dai Li also dispatched internal middle-level cadres to teach from time to time, including Li Shishi, the director of the Hunan Provincial Station, and Yang Jirong, the director of the first division.In addition to ordering them to give lectures, Dai Li also allowed them to choose the female students they liked to act as "working wives", in fact, they acted as lovers or playthings of these cadres.For example, Li Guozhan, a special agent who went to Wuhan to serve, and Fu Shenglan, who was later sent to the Shanghai Naval Control Station but turned into a traitor, were both selected as "working wives" in this training class and then took office.
