Agents of the Republic of China

Two days later, Lin Xiaotang arranged for Guo Zhui to escort Yuan Jianfeng to Lin'an.After Xia Zhiping's death, Yuan Jianfeng suffered a great blow, and his whole body seemed to be drained of energy, becoming depressed.Lin Xiaotang originally wanted to bury Xia Zhiping on Tianmu Mountain, but Yuan Jianfeng insisted on sending Xia Zhiping's body back to Nanjing for burial. He is Xia Zhiping's legal husband after all, and Lin Xiaotang could only obey his insistence.

On the day Xia Zhiping died, Lin Xiaotang got in touch with Tang Shengming and informed him of the pursuit of Li Shiqun. Lin Xiaotang led people to cooperate with Yazawa Shinichi to pursue Li Shiqun. This was planned with Tang Shengming. Now that Li Shiqun is dead, it can be said that the mission It has been completed, and passing the news back as soon as possible will also help the next step in the suppression of Hangzhou and the entire Zhejiang.

Regarding the report of Yazawa Shinichi's death, Lin Xiaotang also understood Yuan Jianfeng's opinion from the side. After Li Shiqun and Yuan Jianfeng fell from the mountain wrestling, without Lin Xiaotang's intervention, Yazawa Shinichi could be said to have mastered the whole matter Yuan Jianfeng may not believe Lin Xiaotang's explanation, and it is easy to guess the real reason for Yazawa Shinichi's death.After all, he is not a fool.

Therefore, this requires Lin Xiaotang to communicate with him.To Lin Xiaotang's surprise, Yuan Jianfeng signed his name on the newspaper without saying a word, proving that Yazawa Shinichi's troops were wiped out in the process of chasing Li Shiqun, and no one survived.This made Lin Xiaotang feel that since Xia Zhiping's death, Yuan Jianfeng has undergone subtle changes.

When parting, Lin Xiaotang thought over and over again, and decided to speak clearly with Yuan Jianfeng. "After this time, you should be able to confirm my details, right?"

Yuan Jianfeng still had an unconcealable sadness on his brows, but when he heard Lin Xiaotang's words, he couldn't help smiling, "To be honest, Yazawa Shinichi suspects that you are not a day or two, I also know that you and Chongqing That aspect definitely has something to do with it, but what does it have to do with me now? Even if I know your details and sue Nanjing and the Japanese, I’m afraid I’ll be the one who suffers, right?”

Lin Xiaotang looked at Yuan Jianfeng meaningfully, "How do you say that?"

"I'm not a fool. People like Zhou Fohai, Tang Shengming, and Xiong Jiandong have more or less hooked up with Chongqing. Will they just sit back and watch when something happens to you? Besides, the Kwantung Army is guarding you. Don't say anything else. Just say Shibayama Kenshiro. So fighting with you is definitely asking for death!"

Lin Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief, Yuan Jianfeng saw it so thoroughly, it saved him a lot of effort. "The Japanese's tail can't be long, so cooperate with me, and treat it as a way out for yourself. I still say the same thing, I don't want to kill you with my own hands. If there is no way out in the future, I will arrange for you to leave!"

Yuan Jianfeng's eyes became a little hollow, he looked up at the sky, cupped his hands at Lin Xiaotang, and said in a low voice, "Thank you!" He turned around and caught up with the caravan coming out of the mountain, and jumped straight onto the coffin carrying Xia Zhiping. The carriage in front of him waved at Lin Xiaotang, and walked away without looking back.

These days, Lin Xiaotang has dealt with many things, including asking Ergou about what he has experienced.Among them, I also learned some unknown side of the elder brother Lin Xiaojun.

The 29th Army Officers Club is a secret anti-Japanese organization established by young officers of the 29th Army. The founder was Zhou Chaojian, who was then the combat staff officer of the 29th Army. The core members were Lin Xiaojun and two other members.That is, the two people Ergou was waiting for.Zhou Chaojian and Lin Xiaojun left the army one after another, which was also a foreshadowing for the further development of the officer club.

Before the Battle of Songhu, the core members of the officers' club had been plotting a plan.In view of the Japanese army's step by step, aggressive.The Officers Club intends to imitate the practice of the anti-Japanese guerrilla bases, convening officers and soldiers of the 29th Army, and Zhou Chaojian came forward to get in touch with Yan'an, and the two sides jointly established an armed force behind the enemy in the North China Plain.But then, the Battle of Songhu broke out suddenly, and the army retreated steadily, which also disrupted their original plan.

At this time, Zhou Chaojian, as a member of the central bank, learned that the national government planned to transport a large amount of gold reserves to the southwest, and he was in charge of a batch of them.Therefore, Zhou Chaojian, Lin Xiaojun and others naturally turned their attention to this batch of gold. After all, building an anti-Japanese armed force requires a lot of money.

After careful planning, Zhou Chaojian and Lin Xiaojun contacted the former Department of the 29th Army in the Nanjing Gendarmerie and arranged for an escort team of 29 veterans from the 500th Army.At this time, the railway line was frequently bombed by Japanese aircraft, and Zhou Chaojian also took this opportunity to make a plan to go by land.This is also the reason why Lin Xiaojun and his wife have been unable to withdraw from Nanjing according to Yugong's arrangement.

And Zhou Chaojian, as the representative of the central bank, is responsible for the entire escort.When the convoy arrived at Tianmu Mountain, Zhou Chaojian and others planned to hide the gold in the prepared cave in advance according to the original plan, but they did not expect the Japanese to appear at this time.

As one of the participants in the "Golden Lily" project, Yazawa Shinichi set his sights on the national government's gold reserves very early on.This time, by accident, I learned the news that the gold was about to be shipped to the southwest through the gap in Nanjing, so I immediately mobilized troops and planned to intercept along the road.

The two armies met on the narrow road of Tianmu Mountain, and it was a fierce battle. The Japanese gendarmes fought and retreated, retreating into a line of sky, resisting the enemy while sending gold into the cave that had been prepared.But the Japanese army's combat power was really fierce, and they actually broke through the defense line and entered the cave.In order to protect the gold, the gendarmerie fought hand-to-hand with the Japanese army. After sending Zhou Chaojian out of the cave, the gendarmerie battalion commander resolutely sealed off the entire cave and chose to die with the Japanese army.The gold was buried in many mountains.The two troops fighting for this also completely disappeared from this world at this time.

Afterwards, Zhou Chaojian sneaked back to Shanghai, wanting to settle the follow-up matters.After returning to Nanjing, he and Lin Xiaojun found themselves being targeted.Therefore, for the sake of insurance, the two put the map and organization roster in the vault of the Agricultural Bank.Not long after, Zhou Chaojian was assassinated by Xiao Yang with a spear on the streets of Nanjing.

Afterwards, Yazawa Shinichi and Nie Shangyun, two groups of people coveting gold, found Lin Xiaojun's hiding place before the fall of Nanjing. They threatened and lured him to reveal the gold hiding place, but Lin Xiaojun refused.Two groups of people fought for this, Nie Shangyun's assistant was killed, and Lin Xiaojun's bodyguard, Ergou's uncle, was also killed by Yazawa Shinichi at this time.

The Japanese army began to bomb Nanjing, and the city of Nanjing soon fell. Yazawa Shinichi and Nie Shangyun fled one after another in order to avoid the artillery fire, while Ergou and Fangrou also rushed back home at this time.For many years, Uncle Zhang has been guarding Lin Xiaojun's side, and Ergou was also attracted by Lin Xiaojun and Uncle Zhang to join the organization because of his alertness, acting as a correspondent between Lin Xiaojun and Zhou Chaojian.

Ergou was heartbroken seeing his third uncle killed, but Lin Xiaojun stopped him in time.Lin Xiaojun also understood that after Nanjing City was broken, the Japanese would not let him go, so he had to tell Ergou the secret he had, and told him to keep the secret of gold, find a way to get out of Nanjing, and go to Changsha to find members of the Officers Club. That is, the group leader surnamed Min, through whom he got in touch with the other two members, and then successfully took out the gold.Ergou had no choice but to take Fangrou and Lin Xiaojun to part.

Unfortunately, Lin Xiaojun and his wife died in the artillery fire of the Japanese army.

Lin Xiaotang already knew everything that happened after that.Captain Min accidentally died in the Japanese bombing, and Ergou lost contact with other members of the Officers Club. In desperation, he had to come to Tianmu Mountain alone to guard the gold and wait for the arrival of his companions, but unfortunately, He didn't know that one of the two contacts selected by Lin Xiaojun and Zhou Chaojian had died in the battle in southern Anhui, and the other's whereabouts were unknown.

Therefore, this class lasted nearly four years.

Four years of vicissitudes, among them, Ergou lost his favorite Fang Rou, Lin Xiaotang lost his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and many people who did not even leave their names lost their lives because of this batch of gold. Are these all valuable?Perhaps, the value of this matter is reflected in two words - ideal!

As the sun was setting, Lin Xiaotang and Ergou were sitting on the peak of Tianmu Mountain, quietly looking at the picturesque mountains and rivers at their feet.

"Ergou!" Lin Xiaotang suddenly opened his mouth, breaking the rare silence, "I want to discuss something with you. I've thought about this matter for a long time, but I haven't made up my mind."

Ergou looked at Lin Xiaotang suspiciously.

"Hiding these golds in the mountains is not a long-term solution. One of the two contacts mentioned earlier has been sacrificed, and the other has never been contacted. For the sake of the current Sino-Japanese war, this batch of gold should be used to play its role. It worked."

Ergou nodded, "I listen to you, Brother Seven!"

Lin Xiaotang stood up, "I want to hand over this batch of gold to the anti-Japanese base areas in Taiwan. There are two reasons. First, this batch of gold is too large. We have no good way to hide it from the Japanese. Second, , Tianmu Mountain has a base, the distance is very close, they are also a unit that fights devils wholeheartedly, and I have always cooperated with them, gold will definitely play a great role in their hands!"

Ergou smiled, "I have no objection! The guerrillas beat the devils, but the equipment is a bit poor!"

Lin Xiaotang smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "You have always been guarding the gold, as long as you have no objection, I can rest assured."

"By the way", Lin Xiaotang suddenly remembered something, "After the things here are settled, come with me to Hunan, Xiaorou is still there, I promised her to send her back to Nanjing!"

Ergou thought for a while, his eyes turned red when he looked at the mountains, and he shook his head lightly, "I've made up my mind, I will take Xiaorou back to Tianmu Mountain. Many years ago, I promised to take her to see the sun." But it never came true, I plan to bring her to the top of this mountain."

Er Gou suddenly showed a longing look on his face, "In this way, I can watch the sunrise with her every day. This is what I owe her. From now on, I will stay with her in this Tianmu Mountain. She must like it." here!"

The Saihu beside him also suddenly became excited, and circled around Ergou non-stop.

Lin Xiaotang originally wanted to persuade Ergou to go back to Shanghai with him, but seeing the tenderness on Ergou's face, he still didn't say anything, just patted him on the back heavily.
