Four hundred and seventieth eight chapters do not talk about conditions
Sun Zhishu was very efficient. One day later, he took the initiative to contact Lu Chengzhou and found out that Yan Shuxun was indeed hiding at Shen Zhuguang's house.
Lu Chengzhou made no arrangements to take action. He made an appointment with Shen Zhuguang to meet at the National Hotel room in the French Concession.
"Do you want to arrange for someone to meet you?" Zeng Zilian said with some worry when she learned that Lu Chengzhou was going to meet Shen Zhuguang at the National Hotel.
"No need, just send someone to find out the situation of Shen Zhuguang's family and be ready to take action at any time." Lu Chengzhou shook his head.
He will pay special attention to matters related to his own safety.
As before, he would go to the National Hotel in advance to observe the environment in person and make sure there was nothing abnormal before meeting with Shen Zhuguang.
Lu Chengzhou first booked rooms 306 and 307 in the National Hotel under the names of two people.
These two rooms face each other, and through the peephole in the door, you can see the opposite room.
He made an appointment with Shen Zhuguang in room 306, while Lu Chengzhou stayed in room 307 in advance.
On the way to the National Hotel, Lu Chengzhou passed the CCP's death mailbox and got Tian Nanchen's information.
The superior asked Lu Chengzhou to provide two to five timed incendiary bombs.
Even though it was created by anti-regiment people, this kind of incendiary bomb is easy to carry, burns violently, and is indeed very useful.
Lu Chengzhou never made any demands on the organization.
He happened to disguise himself as a match, and then went to No. 26, No. 51 Road, and asked An Mengbo to prepare five incendiary bombs.
An Mengbo is responsible for both the internal transportation and the internal support of Haigu Station.
With the incendiary bomb in hand, Lu Chengzhou first went to No. 1 Fushun Lane, Huangjia Garden.
"How do you use this thing?" Tian Nanchen asked as he looked at the incendiary bomb that Lu Chengzhou took out, which was not much bigger than a matchbox.
"There is a timer here that can be set for up to twelve hours." Lu Chengzhou immediately explained to Tian Nanchen.
"You can't just tell me, you have to teach the specific execution personnel." Tian Nanchen shook his head.
The incendiary bombs are made very delicately, but if you make a mistake in handling them, it could cause serious problems.
"Okay, you can find someone and I'll teach you step by step." Lu Chengzhou said.
"If people can't get through, do you think we can wait until it's time to use it, set the time first, and let them bring it in directly?" Tian Nanchen thought of the most reliable way.
The people who use this timed incendiary bomb are ordinary workers. They have not read any books and may not understand these things.
"Okay, whenever you want to use it, I'll come in advance and schedule it." Lu Chengzhou said.
"These timed incendiary bombs are not used in the British Concession, but at the Xingang Pier." Tian Nanchen shook his head.
"Xingang Pier? I'll find a way to get there." Lu Chengzhou thought for a moment and said immediately.
Since it is a task assigned by his superiors, no matter how difficult it is, he will find a way to overcome it.
"That's not necessary. I think we might as well let the military commander take part in this operation." Tian Nanchen thought for a while and asked Lu Chengzhou, the acting station chief of Haigu Station, to personally go to time the incendiary bombs. It was actually risky.
As for Tian Nanchen, he was not sure. After all, to him, these timed incendiary bombs were very advanced things.
"What exactly is the action?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
He never asked about this matter just now. He didn't ask if he shouldn't. This is organizational discipline.
Since Tian Nanchen took the initiative to talk about it, of course he could ask.
"This is the news from the worker group of the Democratic Pioneer Corps. Recently, a 3,000-ton Japanese ship Yingkou Maru docked at the Xingang Pier, preparing to load cotton plundered from Haigu and Hebei, and send it to the Northeast to become a quartermaster. Several stevedores at the dock were preparing to burn the cotton on fire. However, we believed that setting a fire at the dock was too dangerous. If the ship could be allowed to leave Haigu and then catch fire, the workers at the dock would not be implicated. Tian Nanchen said slowly.
"Are these people from the Democratic Pioneers?" Lu Chengzhou asked. If so, it would be considered cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
"No, they can only be regarded as revolutionaries." Tian Nanchen shook his head. Most of our party's organizations and personnel in Haigu have been transferred to Jidong and the base area.
Party organizations, including those in docks and factories, have not yet been established.
Tian Nanchen has deliberately sent some party members to work as workers in these places in secret to carry out mass work.
Of course, this is the work of the city committee, and it is separate from Lu Chengzhou.
The Pinghai-Tangdian Line Working Committee has three subordinate city working committees: Beiping, Haigu, Tangshan, and the railway line party organization.
As secretary, Tian Nanchen is mainly in charge of the Haigu City Committee, the railway line party organization and the special section.
Lu Chengzhou was a member of the Special Section. He was on two separate lines from the city committee and the railway party organization.
"Okay, I'll have someone contact them directly. What's the name of the person in charge?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
"The surname is Zhao, and the name is Zhao Hanjie. He is a stevedore at Xingang Terminal. He is quite prestigious among the stevedores at Xingang Terminal." Tian Nanchen said.
"I'll meet him in person." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
The incendiary bomb was taken away by Lu Chengzhou again. Without time, Lu Chengzhou took the incendiary bomb directly to Room 307 of the National Hotel.
Lu Chengzhou made an appointment with Shen Zhuguang at 4:30 in the afternoon, and he arrived at the National Hotel at 3 o'clock.
After arriving at the National Hotel, he did not go in immediately. Instead, he walked around the National Hotel and found nothing unusual before going to room 306.
As long as the information is not leaked, a meeting like this is actually very safe.
Even if the Japanese were aware of what Shen Zhuguang was doing in the French Concession, they would never have imagined that he would actually want to meet Match.
At four o'clock, Lu Chengzhou was about to go to the room opposite. Before going out, he took out three incendiary bombs, set them all to one hour later, and then placed the incendiary bombs on the bed, behind the door and on the curtains.
Lu Chengzhou took the remaining two incendiary bombs to room 306 and adjusted the time to one hour later.
Then, he stuffed both incendiary bombs into the quilt.
Lu Chengzhou only gave Shen Zhuguang half an hour. Once the situation changed, with the help of these five timed incendiary bombs, he could successfully leave the National Hotel.
Of course, this is just a precaution, and may not be practical in fact.
Shen Zhuguang was very punctual and appeared in room 306 at four twenty-five.
Hearing the knock on the door, Lu Chengzhou looked at the time. Shen Zhuguang arrived five minutes early, which meant that he was well prepared.
The two made an appointment at 4:30, and Shen Zhuguang arrived five minutes early, which showed that he came with sincerity.
"Hello, I am Shen Zhuguang." Shen Zhuguang is in his sixties and wearing a well-fitting suit.
He is not tall but has a fat build. His custom-made suit fits tightly to his body, making him look very stylish.
"Hello, Mr. Shen, I am Match, the stationmaster of Haigu Station of Juntong." Lu Chengzhou said softly, lowering his voice.
"I have admired Mr. Huo's reputation for a long time, and now that I have seen him, he is indeed worthy of his reputation." Shen Zhuguang said politely.
