Lost and Spy

Zhijiang City is located between the eastern edge of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the western range of Xuefeng Mountain.

Historically, this remote city seemed quiet and peaceful.

However, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, this small town seemed destined to be out of peace.

There is a green grassland in the southeast of the city, where some herdsmen often graze their sheep.

At the southern end of the grassland, there is a site of broken bricks and stones.

Long ago, there used to be a majestic pagoda here.

Because the wild geese in the past lived on the pagoda, people called it the Wild Goose Pagoda.

Here, it used to be one of the eight famous scenic spots in ancient Yuanzhou, also known as "Yanta Autumn Wind".

In order to resist the war, Zhijiang wanted to build an aircraft pad in the eastern suburbs of the county. Because the ancient Taishan Mountain is located on the southeast edge of the airport, it belongs to the expansion area of ​​the airport, and the Yanta Temple is very high, which affects the take-off and landing of the aircraft. The Zhijiang people had to tear down the tower. .

For the locals who were born and bred, the autumn wind in the Yanta Pagoda is a beautiful legend in childhood.

But demolishing the tower to build an airport is a somewhat tragic move.

Before the real outbreak, Zhijiang City was small in size, with a population of only 3.

The flames of anti-Japanese war ignited thousands of miles away did not seem to affect the tranquility of the small town in the mountains.

Until the Japanese aircraft appeared over Zhijiang.

Tranquility has been broken!
This small city is no longer peaceful or silent. A period of rise and sacrifice began to bring Zhijiang City into the torrent of the War of Resistance.

All because of the emergence of a runway.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month in 1938, there was a lot of people in the teaching field in the eastern suburbs of Zhijiang.

On the 800-meter-square flat land, more than 19000 migrant workers flocked to Jiaochangping like ants, carrying their own hoes and their own dustpans.

On this day, the construction of Zhijiang Airport began in full swing.

Nearly 11 farmers were mobilized from [-] counties including Zhijiang, Chenxi, Huitong, Huangxian, Qianyang, and Mayang to rush to Zhijiang to repair the airport.

2 people, all in rags.

At that time, Zhijiang Airport was originally a teaching ground, which was used by successive dynasties of government and army to train soldiers, examine military talents, review troops, and kill criminals.

But this time, this place was chosen by an American named Chennault, who wanted to build an airport here.

History should remember how this Zhijiang Airport, which did its best for the War of Resistance, was built.

The only engineers responsible for the construction of Zhijiang Airport were Lin Zequn and Huang Zhangren, a trainee engineer who graduated from the Civil Engineering Department of Wuhan University.

And those amazing road workers.

The workers who built the airport runway took big stones from Wuli Mountain in Licheng and transported them to the airfield to fill the big hole. After filling it, they filled it up with pebbles and sand brought up from the river, and then rolled it away with stones. grind.

Such a runway filled with stones and sand must withstand the huge impact of the plane when it lands, and the foundation of the runway must be tamped as hard as possible.

Their most advanced technology is a large stone roller pulled by manpower and oxen.

This kind of stone mill made of cement and pebbles, the largest weighs two tons.A wooden shaft is inserted in the middle circular hole, so that when the stone roller is pulled to the end of the runway, the direction can be changed by turning the middle wooden shaft.

A stone mill weighing two tons requires at least fifty or sixty migrant workers to drag it.

On the 1650-meter runway, they have to walk back and forth several times a day, burying their heads, exerting force, and leaning forward, which seems to have become their habitual actions.

Without the efforts of such migrant workers, there would never be the emergence of Zhijiang Airport!

As soon as Meng Shaoyuan got off the plane, he was picked up by the convoy together with Zhang Zhen.

When he was on the plane, Zhang Zhen told him very clearly that although Zhijiang is small, there are 220 government departments in total.But Meng Shaoyuan has the right to investigate any department!

No matter how old the other party is, who is the backer!
This is the right given to him by the government!
Zhang Zhen knew Meng Shaoyuan too well. Regardless of his various flaws, he was second to none in solving cases.

All I have to do is sit in Zhijiang and oversee it!

For the rest, leave it to Meng Shaoyuan to deal with.

Zhijiang commissioner and security commander Wen Yishan has prepared the headquarters.

As soon as he entered, Zhang Zhen opened his mouth and said, "Don't say anything polite, just report the situation directly."

"Yes!"

Wen Yishan quickly said: "The assassinated military command agent is called Chen Shilin, a secret agent. We also learned of his identity from Ge Zhengmin, the leader of the military command's Zhijiang team..."

Meng Shaoyuan basically learned about the situation he introduced from Dai Li: "Commissioner Wen, where is Ge Zhengmin?"

"I am following up the case outside, and I have sent someone to inform him that he is back." Wen Yishan then said: "After the case happened, we immediately blocked Zhijiang Airport and conducted a comprehensive investigation.

Later, according to the wishes of the government, the entire Zhijiang River was also blocked by us, only allowed to enter, not allowed to exit. "

Actually, this is not easy, Meng Shaoyuan thought in his heart.

Such a big fight will only make the inner ghost lurk, and will not show up for a short time.

On the contrary, if the outside is loose and the inside is tight, keeping an eye on the several exits of Zhijiang, and the inside ghost is eager to send the situation out, it may be exposed by itself.

"Where's the radio station?" Zhang Zhen asked, "Is it possible for the inner ghost to use the radio station?"

"It's unlikely." This time, it was Meng Shaoyuan who answered: "After the Zhijiang Airport was built, our military command conducted a comprehensive radio monitoring of the Zhijiang Airport, and so far no strange radio signals have been found.

However, there are indeed a few Japanese special radio stations outside Zhijiang Airport, which we have not uncovered.However, Chen Shilin was assassinated in Zhijiang Airport, so there is a great possibility that the insider did not leave the airport.

I suggest that Zhijiang Airport is still only allowed to enter and not allowed to exit, but there is no need to block the entire Zhijiang City.Relax, the Japanese traitors who are active in Zhijiang City will try their best to rescue this ghost. "

"Who is this?" Wen Yishan asked suspiciously.

"Director of the Military Command Operations Department, Meng Shaoyuan." Zhang Zhen gave a brief introduction.

"You are Meng Shaoyuan." Wen Yishan has obviously heard this name before: "Okay, Director Dai has also sent his capable general, so I am relieved, Director Meng, please continue to talk about your train of thought."

"The inner ghost has important information in his hand and is in a hurry to get out." Meng Shaoyuan was not polite: "If you press too hard, it will only make him get into the hole and will not appear in a short period of time.

Instead, relax a little and give him and his accomplices the hope that they'll show themselves and we'll catch them all.Commander Zhang, Commissioner Wen, I have a plan and I don't know if it will work or not. "

He immediately revealed his plan.

Zhang Zhen listened carefully and said, "I'm an amateur in solving cases. But I don't have to suspect people, and I'm declaring that Meng Shaoyuan is fully responsible for this case, and no one can interfere."

It seems that before Zhang Zhen came, he also came under great pressure!
