Li Dalu didn't know that his hiding place was in an air-raid shelter. Jiang Xinyu's main task for him was to lead the way to the Xiaodongmen Post and Telecommunications Station, and Cao Yunfei took charge of the rest.
To put it bluntly, Li Dalu only acted as a guide to ensure that the people of the Dagu detachment entered the air-raid shelter as scheduled to avoid the upcoming large-scale manhunt.
According to Shen Zhifeng's plan, he planned to trace the hiding place of the Dagu detachment through the blood stains deliberately left by Li Dalu, but he did not expect that the other party actually entered the underground air-raid shelter.
While searching No. 63 Victory Street, military dog Tony smelled the scent of Li Dalu, but after all, the man was hiding underground and could not determine the exact location.
Moreover, Tony's state at that time looked more like he was attracted to the squirrel, and no one took him seriously.
Out of caution, Shen Zhifeng didn't even tell Wang Xinrui about this matter, and he wanted to catch all the Communists hiding in Victory Street under the premise of absolute confidentiality.
Although he had doubts about Li Dalu, there was no real evidence, so Jiang Xinyu could not jump to conclusions and arranged for Li Dalu to go to Xiangyou Hutong to explore the road, in fact, just to verify this matter.
In fact, the Wang Family Courtyard in Xiangyou Hutong mentioned by Jiang Xinyu was deliberately told to Li Dalu in order to let him inform Shen Zhifeng.
As soon as he left the air-raid shelter on Li Dalu, he was already being watched by underground party members, and his every move was under surveillance.
The death of the monkey was purely accidental. There was nothing we could do about it. No one could guarantee that every plan would be perfect. Unexpected things would always happen.
…………
West City Gate.
A Willys Jeep opened the way, followed by a military truck. In addition to Cao Yunfei and his men, thirty boxes of penicillin were also neatly stacked in a corner in the truck compartment.
"Captain, is it okay to just leave the city like this?" a team member said worriedly.
Another team member patted the clothes on his body and said: "With this skin, what are you afraid of? There's no one blocking you at the city gate. It must be fine."
They have now changed back to the national army uniforms. The difference from the raid on Xiyingmen Ferry is that they have a white armband on their arms with the two characters "gendarme" printed on it.
Cao Yunfei was also uneasy. If he was stopped by the 43rd Division's checkpoint, there would be more than ten people of his own, not enough to fill the gap between his teeth.
"Luotuo, what kind of officer does the National Army have two bars and one star?"
"Major."
"Major... Major is not a big officer, so why didn't anyone stop our car?"
"The Military Police Brigade is a law enforcement branch with great power."
"oh……"
"Captain, the one you just went to see was a major?"
"Yes, he is wearing a pair of sunglasses and holding a thick foreign cigarette in his mouth. He looks very impressive."
Luotuo was silent for a while, then moved closer to Cao Yunfei and whispered: "Captain, when we get off the car later, please stop looking around."
Cao Yunfei said: "Why?"
"When we were in the city, the major didn't even meet us. I guess, like Lily, he didn't want more people to see him."
"You mean, he is also an underground party?"
"Otherwise, why would anyone help us?"
"He said it himself, he was doing a favor to his friends..."
"Captain, how can anyone risk their lives to help?"
The words woke up the dreamer. Cao Yunfei slapped his thigh and said: "No wonder Political Commissar Bao always said that I was careless. Now that I look at it, I am right! Why didn't I think of such a simple truth..."
"If you ask me, the political commissar went too far. How can you say that the captain is careless?"
"What should I say?"
"It's obviously just a muscle."
The two team members sang and harmonized in a low voice. They were both Cao Yunfei's old subordinates and they often joked with each other.
Cao Yunfei took off his helmet and threw it over, laughing and scolding: "You two little turtles, wait until you return to the team and see how I deal with you... Monkey, go pick up the helmet for me!"
The monkey is young and has diligent hands and feet. Whether it is Cao Yunfei or others, they are used to barking and drinking at the monkey.
This kind of shouting and shouting is not to bully anyone, but to be close to each other and not treat each other as an outsider.
"Captain, you forgot, Monkey and Lao Lu went out to explore the road and never came back." Luo Tuo stood up, took back the helmet and handed it to Cao Yunfei.
Cao Yunfei was stunned for a while, then slowly put the helmet on his head and said: "Luotuo, do you think they have encountered a spy?"
Luotuo said: "When we left the air-raid shelter, we did hear gunshots... Otherwise, ask the major, he will definitely know what happened."
Cao Yunfei nodded and said, "I'll look for a chance to ask him when I get off the car."
After passing two checkpoints, the jeep in front stopped on the roadside.
Cao Yunfei jumped out of the truck, strode over, came to the door of the jeep, and said, "Brother, thank you!"
The major in the car, Chen Lizhi of the Military Police Brigade, smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome. There are no checkpoints ahead, so I won't send you off. In addition, you can wear the military uniform and helmet, but you must take off the armbands."
"OK."
"Also, tell your men not to look outside. After all, I have a special status..."
"I understand that when doing underground work, you must keep it confidential."
"Yes. If this batch of medicines hadn't been of such great importance, I wouldn't have been able to send you out of the city in person."
"Isn't that right? A bottle of penicillin can save a life. Thirty big boxes of it, my dear, are worth more than a mountain of gold."
"Captain Cao, we'll see you later!"
"Brother, I want to ask you something..."
"You say."
"I sent out two people, one named Li Dalu and the other named Monkey. They..."
"All sacrificed."
"Sacrificed?"
"right."
"What's going on? Tell me quickly!"
"They met the police on the way. They might have been recognized. Li Dalu shot and killed the policeman, but Jiang Xinyu from the Security Bureau arrived later, so..." Chen Lizhi sighed and shook his head slightly.
In fact, according to the investigation report of the Security Bureau, it was the police who shot and killed the monkey, and then Li Dalu shot and killed the policeman. Finally, Jiang Xinyu arrived in time and shot and killed Li Dalu who was about to escape.
But this case is related to the reputation of the Secrecy Bureau. If a small policeman dies, he is dead. How can he compete with the action captain of the Secrecy Bureau for credit? Therefore, it is claimed that the two communists were killed by Jiang Xinyu.
This news hit Cao Yunfei hard, followed by Li Dalu, mainly Monkey.
Cao Yunfei has no children, so he treats this monkey who has been with him since he was a child as his own child.
Monkeys are easy-going and well-behaved, and are never annoying. They are very popular in the Dagu detachment. As Political Commissar Bao once said: Where there are monkeys, there is laughter.
Seeing the sadness and anger on Cao Yunfei's face, Chen Li persuaded him: "Captain Cao, what has happened has happened. You have to express your condolences."
Cao Yunfei suppressed the grief in his heart and said bitterly: "If this revenge is not avenged, I, Cao Yunfei, will never be a human being!"
Chen Lizhi said: "Captain Cao, you must not act recklessly. Everything must be obeyed by your superiors."
Cao Yunfei said nothing, turned around and returned to the back of the truck compartment, and ordered: "Take off all the armbands."
Everyone took off the military police armbands, and Cao Yunfei handed them back to Chen Lizhi.
Watching the truck speeding away dragging dust all over the sky, Chen Lizhi turned around and the jeep increased its accelerator and drove towards Yanjin City.
