above the point of the knife

Chapter 334 Intersection of Fate

In April, the ice and snow start to melt.

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, Wang Zhaoming announced the establishment of the National Government in Nanjing, and fought against Chongqing..."

Wang Zhaoming's defection to the enemy undoubtedly dropped a huge bomb on China's great cause of the War of Resistance, especially for the capitulators, it was simply a carnival.

Even the Bingcheng authorities in the Puppet Manchukuo launched a series of celebration activities. As for the Japanese, it was regarded as a major victory.

Another force in the Japanese military has always been to support the occupation of China by force to achieve a once-and-for-all effect. It is dominated by young and fanatical officers at the middle and lower levels, but some people at the top have other considerations.

They just support different routes for how to solve China's problems. One is violent occupation, and the other is engulfment by boiling frogs in warm water. There is no difference in essence.

A "plague" ended silently like this. After time passed, no one cared about those who died.

No one has seriously pursued and investigated the real source of this "plague".

But history cannot be erased artificially. This debt will have to be repaid sooner or later. At least some people will know the truth.

……

Xinglong Muhegou, the seat of the Third Route Army of the Anti-Japanese War.

The reason why Ai Qingshan left in a hurry was to rush to the Third Route Army station to participate in the military meeting and listen to the spirit of the first "Bali meeting".

This meeting is for the Anti-Union to summarize the military struggle experience of the past year and formulate the next development and struggle strategy.

Although Ai Qingshan's Thirteen Flying Eagles were not directly affiliated with the Anti-Japanese Federation, the Thirteen Flying Eagles often cooperated with the Third Route Army in the crusade against the Japanese and puppets, and they were already regarded as friendly troops.

Moreover, Thirteen Flying Eagles has already been developed by the organization, and now they just use this name to act, which is more flexible and convenient.

after the meeting.

Ai Qingshan was retained by the commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army, and he wanted to have a private interview with him, which was related to the future fate of Thirteen Flying Eagles, and of course Ai Qingshan himself.

"Comrade Qingshan, this time I left you alone for an interview because I have an important task for you to do."

"Comrade Commander, what task?" Ai Qingshan was very surprised. The Commander had just returned from a meeting in Khabarovsk and had personally assigned a task for himself. This task must be very important. This is the trust in him from the organization.

"Go back to Ice City and build an intelligence line."

"Ah?" Ai Qingshan opened his mouth wide when he heard this.

"You can bring up any difficulties you have. If you can find a way in the organization, you must find a way. If you really have no way, you can only find a way by yourself." Commander Li said with a smile.

Ai Qingshan felt a "thump" in his heart. He deliberately refused this task, but as a party member, he must obey the organization's decision and cannot bargain.

This is discipline.

"Comrade commander, why me?" Ai Qingshan asked puzzled.

"First of all, you are familiar with Bingcheng, and you should have friends over there, so it is easy to carry out your work. Second, you did this in Thirteen Flying Eagles, you have experience in this field, and you have also gone through a short period of underground work. Thirdly, you have nothing to do with the original Bingcheng special committee system, and it is also convenient for you to hide and carry out your work." Commander Li said three reasons in one breath.

"However, I have been away from Ice City for five or six years. Even if there are familiar people there, there are not many."

"Have you Thirteen Flying Eagles been in contact with someone who claims to be 'Mr. Ming' recently?" Commander Li smiled slightly.

"You know all of this?" Ai Qingshan was a little surprised. Commander Li went to Boli at the end of last year and only came back now. How did he know about Shisan Feiying and "Mr. Ming".

Of course, he didn't hide it intentionally. In fact, he was not the one who was in contact with the Third Route Army. Even if he wanted to report it, he couldn't find anyone.

"This time, you came from Bingcheng to see this 'Mr. Ming', right?" Commander Li asked.

"I haven't seen 'Mr. Ming'."

"You haven't seen Mr. Ming?" Commander Li asked in surprise.

"Mr. Ming is not alone, he may be an organization. I only saw one person in charge of them."

"Do you think this 'Mr. Ming' can cooperate?" Commander-in-Chief Li asked after pondering for a while.

"Currently Thirteen Flying Eagles has benefited greatly from several cooperations with him, and we have almost no loss."

"It's you who benefited unilaterally, right?"

"Basically yes, we were able to survive this winter and even live comfortably, thanks to Mr. Ming."

"It seems that this is a man with great powers. He helps you so much and doesn't ask for anything in return?" Commander Li asked.

Ai Qingshan hesitated to speak, he knew that "Mr. Ming" was his junior sister Bai Yulan, but only he knew about the entire Thirteen Flying Eagles, and the others didn't know about it, so naturally it was impossible to report to the organization.

"We want to get in touch with this 'Mr. Ming', and we can even cooperate further. If he is willing to help us, that's why we chose you to go to Bingcheng this time." Commander Li said.

"Yes, Comrade Ai Qingshan, you were selected by us. The underground party organizations in Bingcheng have been destroyed one after another, and the reconstruction work has not been smooth. We urgently need to understand the enemy's movements. This is important for us in the future. Survival is crucial." Commissar Feng also helped.

This raised the issue to the level of the survival of the Anti-Union League. Ai Qingshan couldn't help but look awe-inspiring, feeling like a stone was pressed on his chest, which was heavy.

"Political Commissar, I'm even more nervous when you say that. If something goes wrong with such an important task, then I'll die forever."

"Qingshan, you are also a veteran party member. You should know what it means to face difficulties. If you don't trust your ability, how could you entrust this task to you?" Commander Li said.

"Thank you to the commander-in-chief and the political commissar for trusting me. Although I don't have much confidence in this task, as long as it is a task assigned to me by the organization, I will do my best to complete it!" Ai Qingshan said solemnly.

"Be confident in yourself, we all believe that you are the best candidate for this task!" Commissar Feng laughed.

"Then in what capacity do I carry out my work?"

"What capacity do you want to work in?" Commander Li and Commissar Feng asked with their eyes fixed on Ai Qingshan.

This made Ai Qingshan wonder, he has done a lot of jobs, lumberjack, boiler burner, mason, quack doctor...

But if you really want to go to the ice city to lurk, you can't do whatever you want, just get an identity, you have to have an identity and a fixed job.

Otherwise, try to be a businessman who buys medicinal materials.

Ai Qingshan couldn't help thinking about what Zhou Sen told him, and wanted to ask him to help in the business of purchasing medicinal materials.

It is not impossible to return to Bingcheng as a businessman.

"I want to go to Ice City as a merchant of medicinal materials. In this way, I can stay in Ice City part of the time and go out part of the time without arousing suspicion. Commander-in-Chief, Political Commissar, what do you think?"

Commander Li and Political Commissar Feng glanced at each other, then nodded together and said, "Yes!"
