Chapter 208 Contact
After receiving the latest order, Su Zhihua suddenly became excited. He, the reconnaissance platoon leader, was finally going to the battlefield again. Peng Kexiang instructed him to cooperate with our army's squad to rescue the comrades who were sent to the Northeast.
Su Zhihua's mission this time was to be responsible for contact. He agreed with Zhang Zhifa's code and contact information. After obtaining Zhang Zhifa's latest information, he reported it to the team in time. For safety reasons, Su Zhihua did not directly participate in the operation.
Even so, Su Zhihua was very excited. At least, he could see his troops and his comrades holding guns.
In recent years, he worked underground in Quancheng. He hasn't touched a gun for a long time and has no passion to go to the battlefield. This time he went out of the city to carry out a mission, his greatest wish was to participate in a battle.
But he knew that this was impossible. If Peng Kexiang knew that he was involved in the battle, he would definitely criticize him severely, and even make him make a profound inspection and write a thousand words of review.
Su Zhihua was not afraid of anything, just afraid of writing a review. Especially when he wrote it to Peng Kexiang, he was the original Lu Weihua and the "Brother Lu" mentioned by Su Zhimei.
Before leaving Quancheng, Su Zhihua got the latest information from Zhang Zhifa: After the train passed Yucheng, it would temporarily stop at a small station called "Santangpu".
Originally, the parking was only temporarily stopped for one hour, but in order to leave enough interrogation time for Guo Tongzhen, he only temporarily added one hour.
This hour was very critical, and it provided sufficient time for our army's team to rush to Santangpu and participate in the rescue operation.
When Su Zhihua rushed to Yancheng's contact point, he recognized the other party at a glance. He shouted in surprise: "Old Wu!"
This "Old Wu" was Wu Zhenyi, who had been treated in Quancheng. After seeing Su Zhihua, he walked over with a smile on his face and held Su Zhihua tightly: "Comrade, hello, we're meeting again."
Su Zhihua took out a simple map, pointed to the mark on it and said, "Let's say that this time the labor train will stop at the Santangpu Station between Yucheng and the plains. We need to march urgently and arrive at Santangpu before the train leaves."
Wu Zhenyi asked in a deep voice: "Santangpu? When will the train arrive?"
Su Zhihua said: "We will park for two hours at around 9:30 pm, and we must arrive before 11:30 pm."
Wu Zhenyi said firmly: "No, we will arrive before 9:30 and we must catch them off guard."
Su Zhihua reminded: "Comrade Shuicao suggested that we should do it after 10:30, mainly to protect the source of intelligence. Let the enemy feel that we see the labor train first and then report to the troops. Our purpose is not to rescue the laborers, but to the supplies on the train."
Wu Zhenyi frowned and said, "Do it after 10:30? What if the train runs away? You have to create an illusion for the enemy. You comrades in the water plant are too troublesome, right?"
Su Zhihua said: "This time the information was reported by comrades inside the enemy. If our actions made the enemy realize that it was just a rescue worker, the enemy might suspect this comrade. Comrade Shuicao was cautious in doing things. He arranged it by him when you went to Quancheng to treat the wounds."
Wu Zhenyi smiled and said, "When you go back, tell this comrade Ai Cao that I am very grateful to him. In the future, when my troops arrive at Quancheng, I will definitely invite him to have a good drink."
"Report, Commander Wu, the troops have gathered."
"Target Santangpu Railway Station, departure."
Su Zhihua felt itchy when he saw Wu Zhenyi giving the order. Wu Zhenyi was still a battalion commander when he was in Quancheng, but now he has become the regiment commander. If he stayed in the army, he would at least be a company commander?
Su Zhihua said: "Old Wu, I will act with you."
Wu Zhenyi said confidently: "I know the time and place, just leave the rest to me."
Su Zhihua said: "We have our comrades inside the enemy. In addition, if there is any change, it is easy to communicate in time."
Wu Zhenyi didn't think much, nodded and said, "Okay."
Su Zhihua was secretly proud and kept telling himself that he did not participate in the battle, but was just following the troops.
Jiang Risheng didn't know that Su Zhihua had such a little thought. His principle of doing anything was safety first. Su Zhihua's task was to contact him. As long as he found his own troops, Su Zhihua's task would be completed.
Even if Zhang Zhifa is arrested, there will be a specific contact code, just tell the comrades in the army.
As usual, Jiang Risheng went home to sleep after drinking with Yamamotojiro and Hasegawa at the Luxing Hotel. After arriving at the Luxing Hotel, he couldn't sleep.
After looking at the time, it was already 9:30. At this time, the labor train should have arrived at Santangpu Station? How many defenders are there? The labor train also has half a team of Japanese troops, and with Guo Tongzhen's spies, will our army's rescue operations go smoothly?
There are also Su Zhihua and Zhang Zhifa, who are both comrades in the water and grass intelligence team, and they all shoulder secret missions, and neither of them can happen.
At this time, in Nanxin Mansion, Seda Kiyozo did not rest, so he went to Wushan Eiichi's room.
As soon as Wushan Ying saw Seda Qingzang, he knew what he was thinking and asked: "Why, are you worried about Guo Tongzhen?"
Teda Kiyozo said worriedly: "I should go to Santangpu too."
Instead of worrying in Quancheng, it is better to go to the on-site interrogation directly. At least, you can know the result of the matter as soon as possible.
Wu Shan Yingyi comforted: "Don't worry, there will be a result at most two hours. If the Beiyang Grand Theater is really premeditated, it will be worth it."
However, by 11:30, the phone at Nanxin Mansion did not ring.
Seda Kiyozo couldn't sit still, so he took the initiative to call Santangpu Station. As a result, the phone could not be reached.
Terada Kiyozo said, "No wonder there is no phone number, maybe the phone line is broken."
Except for big cities and major transportation routes, other places have basically become the territory of the Eighth Route Army. From time to time, they also harass the Japanese army, destroy traffic lines, and attack the Japanese army's baggage troops. Like cutting telephone lines, they have almost become daily operations.
Wu Shanying was moved and said, "Send a telegram to Pingyuan Station and Texas Station to report on the labor train."
Terada Kiyozo said in surprise: "Do you suspect something is wrong with the labor train?"
Wushan Yingyi said slowly: "Who knows, ask about the insurance point."
An hour later, Pingyuan Station and Dezhou Station reported that no labor trains were found. Two hours later, Pingyuan Station sent an armored train to report that Santangpu Station was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, the labor train was destroyed, all the workers disappeared, and all the materials on the train were robbed.
