In March 1948, in the south of Shanxi Province, across the Tiaoshan Mountains. In a small corner deep in the Tiaoshan Mountains, there was a small mountain village that has now been verified by law.
There are many dangerous peaks in the mountain, and the small mountain village is located on the mountainside of a dangerous peak. There are steep walls to the north and cliffs to the south. There is only a narrow path in and out of the small mountain village. At this time, a small unit of the People's Liberation Army, the Sentinel, was secretly stationed in the small mountain village.
Block the intersection and no one can enter or exit.
At night, the wind from the mountain howls in the mountain ravines, hissing like evil beasts fighting. There are a few lights dimly lit in the small mountain village, which dimly adds a bit of fantasy to the dark mountains.
In a bungalow, a lamp like a bean swayed slightly with the sound of wind outside.
There was a woman sitting next to the kang table, motionless. She was wearing a half-worn PLA military uniform. Although it was a bit fat, it was still neat and tidy. Her short hair was obviously not cut by a barber, and it was cut unevenly. But her features were beautiful.
There was an air of alertness and competence between them. A pair of slender eyes stared coldly at the door.
She sat quietly, calculating the time in her mind. She didn't know the time. Her watch had been confiscated before she got stuck in this place, along with all her personal belongings and clothes. She couldn't ask the time for fear of arousing suspicion.
.She can only calculate in her mind.
Dinner is eaten at six-thirty or seven o'clock, around this time. After nightfall, around ten o'clock, maybe around nine-thirty, a People's Liberation Army company commander will come with a sentry to check the ward. He will first
Knock on the door, then come in and say: "Su Shaoqing, it's late, go to bed early." Then the company commander will leave the sentry outside her door until dawn.
There are no residents in the small mountain village, but there are four people living there, or four people being imprisoned. This is what Su Shaoqing quickly learned after arriving here. She is one of them.
Two of the other three people were officers of the People's Liberation Army, at least that's what she thought from their military uniforms. But she was also wearing a military uniform, so she could only think so for the time being.
One of the two officers wore black-rimmed glasses. His military uniform was always clean and tidy, but his eyes were cautious and scrutinizing. He rarely spoke to Su Shaoqing. When Su Shaoqing occasionally talked to him, he would always hum or nod, then turn and leave.
Go. But another officer always shaved his head and rarely wore a hat. Every five or six days, a soldier shaved his head. The bald officer was physically strong. Su Shaoqing soon realized that he was a
Military instructor, proficient in shooting, reconnaissance, boxing and fighting.
The bald officer even offered to fight with Su Shaoqing. The fight between Su Shaoqing and the bald officer became a scene in the small mountain village, often attracting some soldiers to watch.
After fighting against the bald officer, Su Shaoqing found an opportunity to escape.
The third person is a woman. Su Shaoqing calls her the official wife in her heart. She is already in her senior years, but she is still well-dressed. Sometimes she wears a silk cheongsam, sometimes she wears a black cloak. She wears a jade bracelet on her hand and two gold earrings.
The sun shone with golden light. She would sometimes draw eyebrows or put on lipstick. Su Shaoqing could not figure out who she was or why she was detained here and received such preferential treatment.
Su Shaoqing observed that at night, there were only sentries in front of her door.
The People's Liberation Army did not warn Su Shaoqing during the day. She could walk around the small mountain village at will and look at the surrounding mountains and ridges. She soon understood that it was impossible for people to escape here. But she must escape.
Therefore, she must take action before nine o'clock at night. This is the reason why she is sitting at the kang table silently counting the time. After more than three months of preparation, she plans to take action tonight. But she cannot act too early. Too early.
It's early, someone might be walking around outside, and she might fall short.
She silently assessed it, feeling that the time was almost up.
She stood up and walked to the door, opened it a crack, and looked outside. It was dark and light outside, and there were no traces of people. In the distance, two People's Liberation Army sentries were vaguely visible walking back and forth at the intersection.
At night, these PLA sentries must be hidden. In her vague memory, this area should be the jurisdiction of the 19th Army. But in this small mountain village, a small PLA unit is secretly stationed, which would surprise anyone.
She closed the door and returned to the kang. She pulled up the white sheets on the kang. She used the index fingers and fingers of both hands, like scissors, to clamp the edges of the sheets side by side. Then she turned her wrists down and clamped the index fingers and fingers of both hands.
The tight edge of the cloth was turned up from bottom to top, and she easily tore a small slit in the edge of the cloth. She tore off a strip of cloth more than an inch wide. She tore off several strips in succession.
In June 1943, she entered the first training class of the U.S. Cooperation Institute in Xiongcun, She County, Anhui Province, which was later known as the Military Tong Xiongcun Training Class. There, she studied communications, anti-virus, and espionage.
Intelligence, makeup, grappling, swimming, Chinese martial arts and other courses. A classmate in the same class worked as a clerk in a cloth store for several years before coming here. She could tear cloth like paper. She learned this skill from him, but she never thought she would use it today.
.
She tied the trousers with the torn strips of cloth, tied the cloth shoes on her feet, then tightened the cuffs, and finally wrapped the strips of cloth around her palms layer by layer. She clenched her fists and felt that the tightness was just right and it was very effective.
She looked around the room. There were no personal belongings of hers here, so there was no need to clean them up. She finally put on her military hat and tucked her short hair into the hat.
She gently opened the door and looked outside to observe the people nearby. Farther away, the sentry was still swimming at the intersection. She slowly squatted down, crawled on the ground, and crawled forward quietly. From the door to the front
There was about ten meters of open space in the wild grass. As she crawled, she paid attention to the sentry and nearby movements.
After she entered the grass, she changed from crawling to running in a low posture. She jumped over some stones and mentally calculated the distance she had run. She estimated in her mind that it should be seventy meters.
She stopped in time and walked towards the darkness. After a few seconds, it became clear to her that she was standing on the edge of a cliff, and if she took two more steps, she would miss the mark.
She turned left in the dark, walked five steps, and touched a boulder. She touched the boulder with one hand, took two steps forward to the right, then squatted down, stretched out her hands and groped. Under the boulder was denser grass. She was in the grass.
She groped through the cracks in the rocks and found a bunch of ropes. This was the result of three months of preparation.
There were long and short ropes. She squatted in the grass and started to connect the ropes. She tied the fisherman's knot. This kind of knot was easy to tie, and her technique was extremely skillful. This was what she learned in the Xiongcun training class.
One of the techniques I learned. The biggest advantage of this fisherman's knot is that it gets tighter and tighter and never loosens.
When the rope was about to be knotted, she heard the footsteps of cloth shoes on the stones, although it was very slight. She slowly stood up and looked over the boulders towards the intersection.
She saw the company commander, accompanied by a sentry, walking towards her house. She felt that her calculation of the time might be wrong. Either she was ten minutes late, or the company commander came out ten minutes early. But at this time she
There is no other way but to keep going.
She tied the last two knots and groped for an old tree root under the boulder. She had confirmed this repeatedly during the day and believed it was strong enough. She tied the rope to the old tree root and threw the rope off the cliff.
She raised her head and glanced at her house again. The company commander was knocking on her door. She couldn't think anymore, grabbed the rope and slid down the cliff.
The company commander knocked on the door twice, but there was no response. He immediately became alert, opened the door and walked in. He quickly glanced around the room and found that there was no place to hide anyone in the room. He pulled out his pistol and jumped
Go out and shout around: "Su Shaoqing, Su Shaoqing, where are you?"
At this time, Su Shaoqing slowly slid down the rope. The cloth strips were wrapped around her hands, which increased her grip. The knots she kept touching prevented her from sliding down too fast.
She heard the company commander yelling: "Su Shaoqing, you can't run!" She understood that in a few minutes, the company commander would summon his soldiers and search the small mountain village. It wouldn't be long before they would
Find the rope. Her time is running out. She speeds up her descent.
She was startled, she had touched the end of the rope. She stopped in the dark sky, with nowhere to go. She looked down. In the darkness, she estimated that she was at least ten meters away from the ground, or even higher.
At this time, she was a little scared. She looked around. She saw the top of a big tree at least five meters away from her. This was her only hope.
She gritted her teeth, held the end of the rope tightly with both hands, and began to swing her legs. She swung again and again, swinging on the swing in the darkness. After swinging several times, she gritted her teeth, finally let go of her hands, and opened her arms,
She closed her eyes tightly and threw herself towards the top of the big tree. With a crackling sound of branches breaking, she rolled and fell from the tree, falling heavily to the ground.
She was in a brief coma, but soon woke up. Her heart's desire to survive ordered her to wake up. She was in pain all over her body, and her clothes and face were scratched. She struggled to stand up, clenched her fists and exerted all her strength, forcing all the muscles in her body to
Bones and muscles return to normal.
She figured out the direction and walked quickly towards the dark forest.
The news of Su Shaoqing's escape was reported to the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China as quickly as possible. In a very short period of time, several telegrams were sent from the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. One telegram was sent to the Shanxi front commander of the North China Bureau, instructing them to get there as soon as possible.
A small force was sent out in disguise to conduct a secret search in the nearby mountains and forests; a telegram was sent to the Yuncheng Prefectural Committee, ordering it to quickly mobilize guerrillas from Yongji, Yuncheng, Xiaxian, Yuanqu and other counties to search the mountains and search on all possible roads.
An ambush was set up to intercept. The telegram also emphasized that it was a secret operation. A telegram was sent to the Enemy Industry Department of the North China Bureau, asking them to use some special forces to intercept and arrest this woman at possible long-distance bus stations, train stations or traffic arteries.
.These special forces include underground party members lurking in the Shanxi Provincial Party Headquarters, the Provincial Police Department, and the 19th Army. They use their best possible methods to snoop and find this woman.
However, five days passed quickly without any news from this woman.
The woman named Su Shaoqing had plenty of time to consider all possibilities during her nearly six months of imprisonment. She was a strictly trained agent and was especially alert during her escape.
Ten days later, the last telegram from the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was sent to Nanjing, urgently ordering an agent code-named "Fishbone" to retreat immediately. Because the safety of this "fishbone" was related to the safety of another important person.
However, it was a step too late.
A report from the Nanjing underground party to the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China stated that "Fishbone" had severed contact with the organization the day before, and its current situation is unknown.
Several senior officials from the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held urgent consultations and immediately took some extraordinary measures, hoping to create some conditions, and also hoped for a miracle to enable the "fish bones" to survive. What they were most worried about was the
Behind "Yu Bone", a person codenamed "Sophora Tree" hoped to keep this person. When things got to this point, several senior officials gritted their teeth with hatred and angrily accused the guards of dereliction of duty.
The fate of the People's Liberation Army company commander in charge of the guard is self-evident. He was dismissed from his post, expelled from the party, and imprisoned for six months. Fortunately, he kept his military membership. After all, this was during the war. From then on,
He has always been a soldier and will never be used.
The fleeing Su Shaoqing became an eternal pain in his heart.
One can imagine how he felt when he unexpectedly saw this woman again ten years later.
This is a postscript and will not be mentioned later.
