The wind in Tiao Mountain blows all year round. [] This is a folk song, which means it is long. The wind in Tiao Mountain is still fierce, how violent is it? At the northern foot of Tiao Mountain, the houses on the bank of Yanchi Lake in Hedong are not facing south.
, but sit south and face north to avoid the wind blowing from the mountains, which shows how fierce it is.
Su Shaoqing groped forward in the dark mountain forest and the howling mountain wind, trying to speed up as much as possible.
She knew that after the company commander found the place where she hung down the cliff, he would quickly send his soldiers to take a detour down the mountain. They would no longer look for where she settled, but would detour to the direction where she might go.
intercepted her from the front.
The question is, which direction will she go? This is the question in the heart of the company commander.
Su Shaoqing thought about this issue for at least two months every night when he was alone.
She is a captain officer of the Thirteenth Army Command Coordination Office. To put it more informally, she is a military command agent. The People's Liberation Army knew her identity and position, and when they interrogated her, it was just for confirmation.
In March 1947, that is, a year ago, the Nanjing Secrecy Bureau organized a training class for senior special personnel at Peking Station. The so-called senior special personnel refers to agents, senior agents. She was handled and passed the review
, enter the senior special personnel training class. The semester is six months.
During the study period, Ye Gongjin, director of the Second Division of the Secrecy Bureau, was hired to give lectures in the training class and select suitable personnel for his own division. Among more than two hundred students, he only selected Su Shaoqing.
Ye Gongjin wore a woolen military uniform with the rank of major general. When he spoke, his tone and expression were gentle and steady. He told her that after graduation, she could report to the Nanjing Bureau Headquarters and work in the Second Division, and she would be awarded the rank of major. She smiled and saluted and said:
"Thank you, Director, for your cultivation." Her bright future was just decided.
In September 1947, after graduation, she returned to the Thirteenth Army to go through transfer procedures. After that, she first returned to Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, to visit her single mother. On the afternoon of September 16, she said goodbye to her mother, got on the train, and walked along the
Go south on Tongpu Road and prepare to transfer to Longhai Railway to Nanjing.
According to her later recollections and calculations, she lost consciousness at night, around midnight. She suspected that someone had drugged her tea. Then, when she was carried off the train, she should have been in Houma.
A station between Yuncheng. After all, she is from Shanxi and is familiar with Shanxi's geographical environment and railway transportation.
It was still night when she woke up, but she didn't know whether it was the same night or the next night. This made it impossible for her to calculate the distance when she recalled it afterwards.
She was lying on a slowly moving carriage. The first thing she saw was a woman wearing a military uniform. Not a military uniform. So, it was the Communist Army who kidnapped her.
At this time, the female soldier held a short gun in her hand and was looking at her with sharp eyes. Seeing that she wanted to sit up, he put his hand on her shoulder. But she still swung her arms and sat up. The female soldier did not
To stop him again, he retracted the gun to his waist and raised the muzzle slightly.
In fact, she saw nothing. It was at night. She vaguely saw some soldiers walking quietly in front and behind the carriage. The coachman did not sit on the shaft of the carriage, but walked in front, holding his hand.
Hold the bridle. This way, he doesn't have to shout.
At dawn, the team entered a courtyard outside a small village. There was no sound of knocking on the door, no sound of discussing renting a house, or even a sound of greeting. Everything was prepared and was going on.
The female soldier has always been by her side, whether she is traveling, resting, or staying, and she rarely even takes her eyes off her.
When she went to the toilet, the female soldier stood beside her and hugged her.
She had no chance because she also knew that there were two soldiers standing outside the toilet at this moment.
When sleeping, the female soldier will definitely sleep. Su Shaoqing can sleep in the carriage, which is rocking and very comfortable. But the female soldier cannot sleep, and she must be watched at all times. The female soldier can only sleep for a few hours during the day.
But at this time, there will be two soldiers standing beside her and watching her. This she is naturally Su Shaoqing.
She calculated over and over in her mind. She had the ability to defeat the female soldier and the two soldiers, but she would never escape from the small courtyard. There were more soldiers in the outhouse and the courtyard.
The team traveled day and night for a total of five days, five days after she woke up. Then they entered the mountains.
The question arises, which mountain is it?
The railway section of Nantongpu Road from Houma to Yuncheng is surrounded by three mountains, or should be called mountains. To the west is Luliang Mountain, and to the east is Wangwu Mountain. If you go further north, it should be called Taihang Mountain. To the south, there is Tiao Mountain.
.She doesn’t know which mountain she is in, so she can’t plan her escape route. It would be a blind run, with little chance of winning, and inconsistent with her status and intelligence as a senior agent.
The last thing that reminded her and helped her determine her location was the wind.
After living in that small mountain village for three months, she realized that the wind in the mountain had never stopped, and it was blowing from the south. After entering winter, if she stood outside the house for a while, the wind would chill her bones.
.
This is a mountain, she shouted in her heart.
After all, she is from Shanxi. In Shanxi, and even in the country, only Tiaoshan has such a style.
After the location is determined, the next thing to determine is which direction she wants to run.
She has always had a question: Why did the Communist Army want to arrest her? She is just a captain in the Coordination Office of the Thirteenth Army and has never been exposed to any major military plans or operational secrets. Even if she were to serve in the Nanjing Secrecy Bureau, it would be
What's next? Is there any use in arresting her now? She won't come out at all.
But the entire process, the precision of the planning, the caution of the actions, and the strictness of the vigilance, all indicate that this is a major operation, and it must have extremely important secrets.
Su Shaoqing never thought that she would be taken so seriously by others.
It wasn't until a month ago that she vaguely noticed, or guessed, the secret behind this matter.
Although it was just a guess, she immediately understood another point: if she ran away, the Communist Army would find her at all costs, even shoot and kill her. They would definitely do it.
Based on this, it is crucial to choose a direction that can maximize the success of her escape.
She can run in four directions: east, south, west, and north. But judging by her intelligence as an agent, there is a chance of winning or even a dead end.
She could go east. To go east, she actually had to go north first. After leaving the mountain, she would either walk, hitchhike, or take a long-distance bus, first to Houma or Quwo, and then take a long-distance bus east to Jincheng. She believed
, if she could get to Jincheng, she would be safe. But the road from Tiaoshan to the north to Quwo, and then the long-distance bus from Quwo to Jincheng was too dangerous. The Communist Army only needs to send people to secretly guard a limited number of people.
A road intersection or long-distance bus station will suffice.
She can go south. To go south, she has to go through Tiaoshan and go straight to Pinglu County. This is an important ferry crossing the Yellow River. After crossing the Yellow River, it is Shaanxian County in Henan. Not far to the south, there is the Longhai Railway.
.The danger on this road is simpler. The Communist Army only needs to send people to guard the Yellow River crossing.
She can go west. West seems to be the safest. She can only walk west, along the mountain. Walking in the mountains and forests is relatively safer. Although there will definitely be people searching in the mountains, as long as she is more careful, she should be able to escape.
. But walking west to the end is Fenglingdu. The Tongpu Railway crosses the Yellow River from here and is connected to the Longhai Railway. When she goes west to the end, she can only walk across the Yellow River Iron Bridge and take a train to the Longhai Railway. However,
She must never go up that Iron Bridge over the Yellow River.
She can go north. Going north is actually the same as going east. Before reaching Quwo, the road is extremely dangerous. If she can arrive safely, she can take a train and go north to Taiyuan. She will never dare to take the train from Houma to Yuncheng.
Take a seat, there must be an ambush on the train.
In addition to the four directions, she also considered contacting the local garrison. As far as she knew, the garrison in southern Shanxi was the 19th Army. If she could contact the Coordination Office of the 19th Army, she would have found her own people. But in the end she calmed down
After thinking about it, she gave up the idea. It turned out that she was right.
When she sat quietly alone in the hut, thinking motionlessly, she finally chose a direction for herself that no one had thought of. It was the shortest road, the least dangerous, and the safest way.
No wonder the People's Liberation Army troops, local guerrillas, underground organizations, and people lurking within the party, government, and military special forces tore through the entire southern Shanxi but could not find her.
