Peng Yuou asked Cheng Qianfan if He Guan returned to the patrol house and took over the position of the Third Patrol Inspector, would he support it? What are the pros and cons?
In Peng and Ou's view, Cheng Qianfan may support or have different opinions, and at the same time analyze the pros and cons.
He never expected Cheng Qianfan to express his unequivocal opposition.
"He Guan and Jin Kemu are different." Cheng Qianfan shook hands and said, "Jin Kemu only had a tough attitude towards Japan, while He Guan personally went to the battlefield to fight the Japanese, and He Guan took the initiative to join the army."
After the previous meeting with Sanbonjiro, Cheng Qianfan speculated that Sanbonjiro was the mastermind behind the actions of He Guan and Jin Kemu. He knew that Sanbonjiro had hidden some things from him, including that Sanbonjiro
We have obtained relatively detailed information about He Guan. At the very least, we know that the Jiangsu Provincial Security Group where He Guan was located fought with the Japanese army on the Songhu battlefield.
"I understand the behavior and temperament of the Special High School and Sanbonjiro. They will not let go of anti-Japanese military personnel like He Guan." Cheng Qianfan said, "If He Guan is hiding honestly in the French Concession,
Maybe the Japanese won't take action so quickly, but if He Guan wants to return to the patrol room, or even take over my position as the third patrol commander, Sanbonjiro will not hesitate to give orders to get rid of He Guan."
Cheng Qianfan handed a cigarette to Peng Yuou. He played with a cigarette in his hand, pushed up the frame of his glasses, and said, "Sanbonjiro will not allow a man who has a strong determination to resist Japan and fight with the Japanese army on the battlefield.
People who have passed by have entered the patrol room, and they are even among the middle-level police officers in the patrol room."
Peng and Ou touched their bodies and found the match box. They pushed it open and found it was empty.
Cheng Qianfan took out the match box from his body, struck a match and helped the professor light his cigarette.
"Furthermore, based on my guess, Sanbonjiro is even very likely to arrange for me to kill He Guan."
"In addition, I don't know much about He Guan's current situation, but based on my impression of him, his character is not suitable for being a lurker. This is very important."
As he spoke, he lit his cigarette with the remaining flames of the match, took a puff, and exhaled a stream of white mist, "Based on these reasons and considerations, I am firmly opposed to returning to the patrol room."
He thought as he spoke, "In fact, in my personal opinion, I suggest that He Guan leave Shanghai, or to be more precise, he should stay out of the enemy's sight."
Cheng Qianfan frowned, "I can't predict when Sanbonjiro will attack He Guan. To be on the safe side, it's better to move him out."
…
"You two are indeed good friends." After the cigarette ashes fell, Peng Yuou patted his clothes, "The organization asked He Guan for his personal opinion, and he also expressed his reluctance to return to the patrol room. Of course, Comrade He Guan also expressed his opinion.
, if the organization makes a decision, he will obey the organization’s decision unconditionally.”
"If it's as I expected, why would you want to return to the battlefield?" Cheng Qianfan said.
He knew He Guan very well. Not to mention that He Guan was not a candidate for lurking work. What this guy liked most was to go to the battlefield and kill the Japanese.
"Yes, Comrade He Guan wants to join the army." Peng Yu'ou shook his head and said with a smile, "You know him well. He said that he wanted to go to North China to join the Eighth Route Army. If it is not convenient to go to North China, he would go to Nanchang
Join the New Fourth Army."
"I guessed it would be like this." Cheng Qianfan smiled, it didn't matter.
Cheng Qianfan glanced at Peng Yuou and said, "Secretary Peng should have other arrangements to consider about He Guan."
Peng Yuou was surprised, "How did you tell?"
Cheng Qianfan smiled and said, "Although Secretary Peng was surprised to hear that I firmly opposed He Guan's return to the patrol room, you did not show any intention of having a different opinion."
He flicked his thumb and popped out the cigarette butt, "Besides, Secretary Peng, your initial comment about He Guan was that he was an outstanding military talent."
The young comrade Huo Miao gave his old comrade Peng Yuou a joking look, "For a military talent like He Guan who had fierce and cruel positional battles with the Japanese army, Secretary Peng is willing to let him leave Shanghai?"
"You kid." Peng Yuou pointed at Cheng Qianfan and laughed, "Nothing can be hidden from you guys."
Looking at Cheng Qianfan, Peng Yuou said seriously, "Shanghai has been occupied for several months. The Japanese invaders burned, killed, raped and looted wherever they went. They committed all kinds of evil. The organization decided to form a guerrilla force in the suburbs to carry out the anti-Japanese struggle around the suburbs of Shanghai.
"
"Great!" Cheng Qianfan was extremely excited when he heard this. "I have been thinking about this for a while. Although the Japanese occupied Shanghai, their main force was in the urban area. In fact, their force in the suburbs was
Weak, in view of the insufficient strength of the Japanese army in the suburbs and weak governance, this is a good opportunity for our party to carry out mass work in the suburbs and lead the anti-Japanese struggle."
Cheng Qianfan's eyes seemed to be radiating light, "The Japanese army also knows that their current control over the suburbs is insufficient. The Japanese are eager to establish a puppet regime in Shanghai, and they want to use the power of traitors to strengthen their control over the suburbs and surrounding areas of Shanghai."
"We must do a good job in the anti-Japanese armed struggle in the suburbs before the puppet regime is established in Shanghai."
As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan saw Peng Yuou looking at him with strange expressions.
"What you mentioned is exactly what I have discussed with some comrades from the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee." Peng Yu'ou was very happy and nodded approvingly, "When I met Comrade 'Xiang Wu' last year, 'Xiang Wu'
When Comrade Xiangwu talked about you, he said that you had excellent academic performance in the infantry section of the Central Army Officer School and that you were a very good military talent. I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time. Now it seems that what Comrade Xiangwu said was true.
.”
When Cheng Qianfan heard this, he smiled happily and did not say anything like Comrade Xiangwu being overly praised.
Seeing this scene, Peng Yuou also laughed. He still remembered that when Comrade Xiangwu talked about Comrade Huo Miao, it was not like the expression of Comrade Chief talking about his outstanding soldiers. It was the expression of the elders showing outstanding feelings to the younger ones.
He was so proud that Peng Yuou even felt that Comrade Xiang Wu had a sense of "Come and praise my children", so he talked about Cheng Qianfan's work performance and praised him. Of course, this was not
Deliberately praising, 'Huo Miao' is indeed very good, and Peng and Ou vaguely noticed that Comrade 'Xiang Wu''s mood seemed to be even higher.
He looked at Cheng Qianfan, and he felt that Cheng Qianfan's expression was very interesting now, very much like the kind of happy person who had received praise from his elders and had not disappointed them.
…
"In Puxi, our comrades led the establishment of the Qingdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force." Peng Yuou said.
"Qingdong?" Cheng Qianfan asked immediately, "What are the main areas?"
"The eastern part of Qingpu mainly includes Zhaoxiang, Qibao, Huangdu, Chonggu, Xujing and other places." Peng Yuou said, "The organization intends to build this area into the Qingdong Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Base Area."
"The Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee established a foreign line work committee, and the committee made a decision to send a number of key comrades to support the Qingdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force."
"Our party does not lack comrades with firm revolutionary enthusiasm and determination to resist Japan," Peng Yuou said. "What it lacks are military talents, especially military talents who have experienced brutal battles with the Japanese army."
"Comrade He Guan led the team and had fierce positional battles with the Japanese army, as well as tragic hand-to-hand combat. Such military talents are extremely rare."
"I have been considering proposing to the External Line Committee that Comrade He Guan be added to the list of people assigned to support the Qingpu guerrillas." Peng Yuou said, "However, some other comrades think that He Guan will return to the patrol room and rely on Jin Kemu's relationship.
It can play a very good role, so no final decision has been made yet.”
Peng and Ou know very well that this cannot be blamed on other comrades for arranging the idea of lurking in the patrol house in the French Concession. If there are people in the patrol house in the French Concession, this will be very important for our party's work in the concession:
'Flame', 'Fish Intestine', and 'Flying Fish' are lurking in the French Concession. Even the party group has been established. This matter is highly confidential. Only Peng Yuou of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee and the Shanghai Municipal Committee knows about it. No one else knows about it.
situation, so we are particularly looking forward to He Guan lurking in the patrol room of the French Concession.
Peng Yu'ou asked Cheng Qianfan for his opinion because Cheng Qianfan knew the situation in the French Concession best. If Cheng Qianfan believed that He Guan's return to the patrol house would do more good than harm, then Peng Yu'ou would consider withdrawing his idea and support He Guan.
Return to the patrol room.
Now, Cheng Qianfan clearly expressed his opposition to He Guan returning to the patrol house, and Peng and Ou naturally also firmed up their idea of arranging He Guan to go to the Qingdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force.
…
"I support Comrade He Guan in joining the Qingdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrillas." Cheng Qianfan said, "This is indeed the most appropriate arrangement for Comrade He Guan."
Peng Yuou nodded, "I will formally submit my opinions to the organization."
"How are the weapons and equipment on the guerrilla side?" Cheng Qianfan said, "Do you need me to do anything?"
"I know you, Inspector Cheng, have something in hand." Peng Yuou said with a smile, "But it won't be needed for the time being."
In the later stages of the Songhu battlefield, due to poor command, the Chinese army, which fought very bravely in the frontal battle against Japan, turned into a huge rout when it retreated. Many weapons and ammunition were abandoned along the way and lost.
The establishment of the Qingdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force relied on these picked-up weapons and ammunition, including even a mortar.
Therefore, under the current circumstances, the Qingdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force has no shortage of weapons and ammunition.
For the guerrillas, what they currently lack most is military cadres, which require time for training and development.
…
Cheng Qianfan reported to Peng Yuou that the Secret Service Headquarters had given him an order to eradicate the traitor Zou Fengqi. He had also ordered the Shanghai Special Intelligence Team to prepare for the anti-traitor operation.
"Zou Fengqi took the initiative to defect to the Japanese, and the impact was extremely bad." Peng Yu'ou said with a serious expression. "The organization learned that Zou Fengqi was secretly contacting other Beiyang warlords and lobbying them to defect to the Japanese."
"According to the information we have, Zou Fengqi's ally brother Zhou Huaigu has set off from Baoding to Shanghai to respond to the Japanese preparations for the puppet regime in Shanghai."
"Zhou Huaigu?" Cheng Qianfan looked strange.
"What's wrong?" Peng Yuou asked.
"The year before last, the Secret Service ordered to sanction Zhou Huaigu, but unfortunately the operation failed and the Shanghai Station of the Secret Service lost several personnel." Cheng Qianfan said, "Has Zhou Huaigu arrived in Shanghai?"
"That's not clear." Peng Yuou shook his head. "The comrades in the north only have the news that Zhou Huai came to Shanghai in ancient times, but they cannot know his specific whereabouts."
"I will arrange for someone to check here. It's best to have already arrived in Shanghai." Cheng Qianfan said, his expression cold, "Since we are brothers, let's go on the road together so that we can have a companion."
The two chatted for a while, then shook hands and said goodbye at the entrance of an alley.
Cheng Qianfan did not report to Peng Yuou that he was planning to launch an attack on the Japanese military horse farm on Huade Road.
Although ‘Huo Miao’ is also led by Peng Yuou, it is not completely led by Peng Yuou.
He is directly under the leadership of Comrade "Xiangwu" and is arranged to be directly managed by Comrade "Farmer".
Considering the complexity and particularity of the identity of "Huo Miao", Comrade "Farmer" gave special instructions as to which situations could be reported to Peng Yuou and which situations did not need to be reported. This was under the control of Cheng Qianfan himself.
Regarding this matter specifically, why did he choose not to mention the Huade Road Army Racecourse to Peng Yuou?
The sanctioning of Zou Fengqi was an order issued by the Secret Service Headquarters, and Cheng Qianfan has also issued task arrangements to relevant personnel within the Special Intelligence Team.
Even in extreme circumstances, if the national government knows that the Red Party has learned of the matter, there are many sources of leaks and there is no obvious direction.
However, the attack on the Huade Road Army Racecourse is different. Currently, apart from Cheng Qianfan, only Li Hao and Qiao Chuntao know about it. Once the government knows that the Red Party knows about it, they can follow the clues to investigate. The direction is relatively obvious and it is easy to investigate.
When it came to Cheng Qianfan, he had to guard against it.
…
Three hours and a quarter later.
Public Settlement, Ward Road.
A very handsome young man in a suit and tie raised his wrist to check the time, then put away his umbrella and opened the door of 'Louis Cafe'.
After entering the door.
He glanced at it casually, then walked towards the stairs towards the second floor.
"Squeak - squeak -"
The leather shoes made a muffled sound when they stepped on the wooden stairs, and the bottoms of the leather shoes were stained with snow. The cafe with the fireplace was quite warm, and the snow turned into water, leaving a series of footprints on the stairs.
Went up to the second floor and turned a corner.
The young man frowned slightly, and then he saw the private room with the 'A3' sign.
The corner of his mouth curved with a hint of confidence, and he walked straight over.
The door to the private room is ajar.
He opened the door and saw a very delicate-looking man looking over coldly.
Cheng Qianfan closed the door with his backhand.
Seeing who it was, this man, who was more delicate than a girl, immediately stood up.
"Since you entered this private room and you stared at the snowflakes outside the window for thirty-three minutes, what have you learned?" Cheng Qianfan put the umbrella next to the chair and asked calmly.
