In the late autumn of 1940, Yu Lange, a fighter of the Anti-Japanese Union, received an order from Jin Ce, secretary of the North Manchurian Provincial Party Committee, to set out from Laojingou, travel 700 miles, and send the letter to Xu Hengzhi, chief of the general staff of the Third Route Army.
He walked for 16 days and finally reached his destination, only to learn of a very serious accident. Recently, the enemy mobilized a large number of men and horses in an attempt to sabotage the organization of the North Manchurian Party.
After the confession of a traitor, the enemy became aware of the address of the provincial party committee in Laojingou and obtained information on the activities of the six detachments. The enemy has already sent armed spies, disguised as ordinary people with guns to defect to the Anti-Japanese Federation, and went straight to Laojingou, led by a bandit surnamed Shao.
In order to paralyze the resistance to the United Nations, the enemy released the traitor again. The situation was urgent, and there was no one who was familiar with the road and knew the exact address of the provincial party committee.
Chief of Staff Xu solemnly handed over a secret letter sealed in soft paper to Yu Lange, and told him in a heavy tone: "This top-secret information must be handed over to Jin Ce by hand. If it falls into the hands of the enemy, Kim Chae will face even greater danger.
Even if you have to throw it away, always make sure it's completely destroyed. You're going to leave early tomorrow morning, and it's about 15 to 16 days to get from here to Laojingou, and you have to get there in 9 days.
This is not only related to the safety of the leaders of the provincial party committee, but also to the anti-Japanese cause of the entire North Manchuria. We know it's going to be difficult to get there in 9 days, but that's the only way to get there before the agents and crush their plot.
Not only do you have to get there as quickly as possible, but you also have to be prepared for the unexpected. In any case, the letter should be delivered as soon as possible. Yu Lange took the information and felt its heavy weight.
Clearly, the situation is dire. Originally, there were very few people who knew the detailed address of the provincial party committee, but the traitor knew it well, and the enemy leader was very familiar with the situation in this area.
Now the six detachments are not at home, and only Kim Chae, the secretary of the provincial party committee, Quan Changzhe, and his lover An Jingshu are left. There are still some wounded and sick nearby, and there is a quilt factory in the back mountain, which is weak.
At the same time, the enemy disguised himself as ordinary people who defected to the Anti-Japanese Federation. Even if the spies show clues, it is difficult to deal with them without solid information, especially since the enemy has already set off several days early.
If this 100,000 urgent piece of information is not delivered in time, the consequences will be unimaginable. Yu Lange was so anxious that he crumpled the information into a paper ball the size of a soybean grain, carefully put it in his ears, and then rushed hard, whether it was a mountain, a steep slope, a vine, or a thorn, he didn't care.
Along the way, his padded jacket was scraped by the tree strips, and the scars on his face and hands were crisscrossed, and his legs and body were also broken. Late at night on the eighth day, Yu Lange arrived at the provincial party committee office in Laojingou one day earlier than expected, and he breathed a sigh of relief and finally rushed back.
However, while he was still running on the road, 11 armed spies had already arrived at Laojingou one day ahead, led by the bandit surnamed Shao. They claimed that they wanted to defect to the Anti-Japanese Federation, but it was too sudden, and the provincial party committee was very hidden, how did they find this place so coincidentally?
And it was when the troops were not at home. If you don't take it in, there is a lack of good reasons, and there are often cases of ordinary people defecting to the army with guns. If it's the bad guys, they have 11 big guns, and we only have 3 people and 3 short guns, and it's hard to win.
It's really hard to determine whether it's true or not, so I have to settle down first. The spy stayed, thinking he had a plan. They secretly watched the actions of the three people of the provincial party committee, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
Kim Chae was on guard, he knew full well that he could not rashly show suspicion and not take any action until the situation was clarified. He was thinking about how to find out what was happening as soon as possible.
Lao Jingou seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact it is ready to fly. After reading the letter brought by Yu Lange, Jin Ce's originally serious and calm face changed instantly.
He walked to the door, pushed the door to check the situation outside, and after confirming that there was no one, he whispered to Lan Ge: "The enemy has arrived, and the leader is the one surnamed Shao, a total of 11 people.
We can be in danger at any time, and we have to figure out how to deal with it as soon as possible. When Yu Lange heard this, his heart that had just been put down was lifted again. What should they do?
Quietly moving could attract the attention of the enemy, and the wounded and sick nearby would also need their care. If you fight hard, the enemy is outnumbered, and the chance of victory is slim. What's more, if they stall for time, the troops may be in danger.
After discussion, they decided to concentrate the enemy's forces first, then separate the guns and people, and finally make a surprise attack. However, while they are working on ways to deal with the enemy, the agents are also secretly plotting.
Their task was to sabotage the organs of the North Manchurian Provincial Party Committee and arrest the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee. However, when they arrived, they saw only 3 people, not even a single servant.
This made them wonder if this was really the provincial party committee's residence. If you make a mistake, you have only caught 3 "general anti-unions" all the way, how can you explain when you go back?
They decided to wait and see if there would be a "big shot". However, the longer they wait, the more uneasy they feel. If a flaw is exposed here, it may be annoying.
At the same time, if the news of the provincial party committee's traffic officer caught in Songgou leaks out, the situation will be even worse. So, they decided to act the next day, deal with these 3 people first, and then wait for other opportunities.
That night, the people in the provincial party committee station did not sleep well. Jin Ce, Yu Lange and the others turned off the lights, clenched ** in their hands, and their eyes were fixed on the enemy. Armed spies also sent people to set up defenses in front of and behind the mountains, squatting in the shadows like dogs to monitor.
Yu Lange skillfully used the enemy's psychology, pretending to be a child to paralyze the spies, and at the same time quickly occupied the enemy's gun position, and surrounded the spies with the remaining 3 guns. The agent was stunned by the sudden shout and did not dare to act rashly.
At this time, Jin Chae asked sternly, and the spy knew that the conspiracy was exposed, and resisting would only lead to his life, so he raised his hands in frustration.
