The true biography of Yaqiao, the first chivalrous king of the Republic of China

Chapter 23 The Thunderstorm Is Just in Time

Zhang Songlin and others narrowly escaped death, knowing that Brother Jiu was covering and supporting them, but they couldn't stop.According to the plan, they got into the car in a secluded place, changed their clothes, and messed up their hair.

When the car arrived at Xiaguan, the five people quickly jumped off and went straight into the waiting room where people were coming and going.

However, at this time the station has received orders from Shangfeng to conduct a body search on everyone who enters the waiting room.Zhang Songlin and others wanted to retreat, but a policeman stopped them loudly and led them into a nearby office.Go in and take a look, and there is a man standing in each of the four corners, holding a rifle and a bayonet shining coldly, as if facing an enemy.

The clerk sat at his desk and ordered them to undress and be examined.

The situation is urgent, so I can't afford to think about it.Knowing that Xuan Jimin had been a soldier, Zhang Songlin signaled to him.Xuan Jimin understood, "Oops", covered his stomach with his hands, and squatted down.

The eyes of the police all focused on Xuan Jimin. They didn't know what had happened, and they relaxed a little. It was too late to say, and soon, Zhang Songlin and the others quickly opened their short jackets, pulled out the pants that were stuck in their belts. The pistol, "ba, ba, ba, ba", killed the policemen in the four corners.The clerk squatted under the table, trying to hide, but was shot by Xuan Jimin.

A few clear gunshots were like throwing a few boulders into a calm deep pool. The waiting room was in chaos like a wasp nest. Some cried and yelled that they peed their pants...

Zhang Songlin and others did not dare to fight, and rushed out of the office.The police outside the door realized that the situation was not good and drew their guns to shoot.During the shooting, two more policemen fell to the ground and died.However, more and more policemen and soldiers came after hearing the news. Zhang Songlin and others ran forward while fighting back.When climbing over a low wall, Wu Hongtai slowed down by half a step and was shot by a bullet.The others could not be rescued, so they ran towards Jiangxinzhou, Xinhekou.When passing a wild fish market, fishmongers and citizens ran around in the wilderness in order to escape for their lives.Zhang Songlin and others mixed in the crowd and took the opportunity to sneak into the reed marshes.

The enemy's brigade is driving over in military vehicles.

In the reed marshes, Zhang Songlin and others scuttled around, their faces, hands, arms and legs were smeared with blood by reed leaves, branches, and thorns, but they didn't know it.The reed marshes were surrounded by the enemy, and the bullets broke the rows of reeds in the middle, causing the reed balls and sparrows to fly desperately.Zhang Songlin and others hid in the depths of the reeds, "sifting through the sieve" all over their bodies, and they were really doomed to die.

Just at this time, lightning and thunder, strong winds, and a thunderstorm fell from the sky. The enemies and policemen who were besieged and suppressed were all soaked.Taking advantage of this gap, Zhang Songlin and others rolled and crawled in the muddy water to escape from the desperate situation.

In the evening, when the thunderstorm subsided, they stopped a fishing boat that had just landed. They forced and threatened them, and rewarded them with a lot of money. The owner of the boat reluctantly agreed to send them across the Yangtze River...

After Wu Hongtai was captured alive, he was interrogated that night.At first, he was unwilling to reveal his identity. Later, after several severe tortures, Wu Hongtai was bruised and had to tell the truth, explaining the ins and outs of Wang Yaqiao's organization of a special agent team to assassinate Chen Tiaoyuan.Wang Yaqiao asked his friends Li Jishen, Chen Mingshu and others to rescue him, but he failed, and Wu Hongtai was hanged in prison.

According to Wang Yaqiao's prior statement, the goal of this operation was to assassinate Chen Tiaoyuan. If he encountered resistance from Zhang Qiubai and others, he could be wounded or even killed.However, Chen Tiaoyuan's vellus was not injured, Zhang Qiubai did not resist, and was shot dead. Wang Yaqiao was very angry, criticized Zhang Songlin and others, and reduced the bonus for each person from 1000 yuan to 500 yuan; Jimin was ordered to explain the reason for violating discipline, conduct a deep inspection, and only give him a bonus of 200 yuan.

"Brother Nine, I don't understand. You usually hate Zhang Qiubai so much. You hit him and scolded you when you met him. I took advantage of him and killed this 'Wan traitor'. Where did I go wrong?" Xuan Jimin asked back, looking Straightforward.

"Zhang Qiubai made a thousand mistakes and did not commit a capital crime. How did I ask for it before I acted? In our line of work, with your head on your waistband, if you are as organized and undisciplined as you are, you can do it (in local language, okay) ?" Wang Yaqiao slapped the table and scolded.

Xuan Jimin's face was flushed, he clicked his lips a few times, but said nothing.Pick up the 200 yuan bonus and leave.Someone behind the scenes said, "'Four Guzi' lost his temper again."

In fact, Xuan Jimin had something to say in his heart.As early as 1926, he was introduced by Yu Qingsheng and secretly joined the Communist Party. He served as the personal bodyguard of Liu Hua, a famous labor movement leader, a member of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions, and the director of the Western Shanghai District. After the May [-]th Movement, Liu Hua died, and he returned to the Communist Party of China. He Mengxiong, secretary of the Shanghai West District Committee, is directly under the leadership.Before this operation, he passed the information of assassinating Chen Tiaoyuan in Meixi Villa to the underground party organization in time.Because Zhang Qiubai is a member of the Old League, during the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, he represented Anhui with Chen Duxiu and Bai Wenwei, attended the "National Congress" of the Kuomintang, and met many leaders of the CCP. , It is very harmful to the revolution. Therefore, the Provisional Committee of the Anhui Province of the Communist Party of China instructed Xuan Jimin to eradicate it by the way.How did Xuan Jimin explain these situations to Wang Yaqiao?
From then on, Xuan Jimin left Wang Yaqiao on his own, changed his name to a pseudonym, and continued to participate in the party's underground work.
