The ability of the underground party really cannot be underestimated!

This is Chen Mingxiang’s heartfelt feeling. He just arrived in Bozhou and found a bigger hotel to stay. He chatted with the shopkeeper and said that he was a merchant who came to Shanghai to buy grain, cotton and tobacco. It took less than ten minutes. Someone came to discuss business.

"Old Zheng and Xiao Lu from Changhua Commerce and Trade said that you are coming to Bozhou. I will be the host tonight. I will invite you to have a meal. Let's talk while we eat." said the man who claimed to be Lao Liu.

Chen Mingxiang has made it clear that Changhua Trading is a short company for the underground party to do business with Huatong Trading Company. Old Zheng probably said Zheng Tonghui, and Xiao Lu was naturally his fiancee Lu Kunyu.

It must be the underground party in the Shanghai stock market who spread the news to the base area, and then entered Luzhou, and was targeted. People figured out their own route and targeted the main traffic routes in advance.

With the introduction of the hotel treasurer, no one will doubt his whereabouts. He is not afraid to check. He is carrying a pass issued by the Luzhou Gendarmerie and, if necessary, a certificate from the Special High Division of the Shanghai Gendarmerie Headquarters. .

Stewed pigeons, braised civet, ham stewed soft-shelled turtle and Yipin pot, the old Liu was full of oil!

He is indeed a member of the underground party, lurking in Bozhou to collect information on the Japanese army, but due to insufficient funds, this is the first time he has eaten such a meal. Chen Mingxiang insisted on his own treat.

"The head of our anti-Japanese base area is very grateful for the medical supplies presented by Mr. Chen, which saved the lives of a large number of soldiers and the masses, and also thanked Mr. Chen for his help to the comrades of the underground front in Shanghai. , But it is our comrades who can contribute to the cause of resistance to Japan." Lao Liu said.

"I'm just an ordinary person seeking a life in the enemy-occupied area. I can support my family and I am satisfied. I know that it is possible to help my compatriots if I can. My strength is limited, so I dare not be such a high praise. "Chen Mingxiang said calmly.

Lao Liu feels a headache for such people. He is very clear. He doesn't mean to get closer to the underground party. Wherever he can help, he will help. If it is a matter of his own safety, he will not speak up!

"Since you have come to Bozhou, the chief specially invited you to the base area as a guest. We always want you to see with your own eyes where the medical supplies given to us are used."

"The base area mobilized the masses and did everything possible to collect a batch of bristles. This is the current shortage of goods and the best excuse. At the same time, it is also paying off debts for the comrades in the Shanghai stock market." Old Liu said.

"I suddenly entered the base area, which may cause some people to speculate that the size of the incident is also a problem for the Japanese." Chen Mingxiang shook his head.

The underground party is willing to exchange hard currency for materials. This is acceptable to Chen Mingxiang. This thing is lucrative and the price he can give is higher.

"I have considered the security aspect. The Japanese soldiers and traitors in Bozhou know nothing about you. They are the treasurer of this hotel. They introduced you to me, and I took you to the workshop to receive the goods. This reason is unassailable."

"I have been in Bozhou for a few years, and there are many people who know me. Even if it is spread to the Japanese, you can't find your problem. At most it is deceived, but this truck is real." Old Liu Said.

That's right, maybe he was too careful, but the agent's instincts allowed him to think about the bad things as much as possible, first to lose and then to win.

Old Liu also made sense. No one in Bozhou really knew him. Only the Luzhou gendarmerie knew the news about him. At most, the Bozhou gendarmerie received the news, but they would not pay much attention.

It’s okay to understand the anti-Japanese base areas. In the past, I just heard from the teacher that these Communist Party troops will be the biggest enemy of the Shancheng government and the mortal enemy of the Military Manpower Bureau. I haven’t really learned it yet!

"Comrade Lu Kunyu, just received a telegram from the base area. Your fiance arrived at the base area this morning, visited the field hospital and the army garrison, was received by the chief, and left after lunch." Zheng Tonghui said with a smile.

"Great, this time he personally visited the base area, he will definitely be touched in his heart, which is very beneficial to our work." Lu Kunyu seemed to feel that a like-minded couple was born.

"It's not that simple. Chen Mingxiang only promised to facilitate the procurement and transportation of materials for the underground party in the Shanghai stock market at the right opportunity. He also promised to provide us with hard currency for the exchange of materials in the base area. Nothing else was said, but the superiors Meaning, we have achieved our goal, and other problems will be solved slowly later." Zheng Tonghui said.

Jieshou is a small town in Taihe County at the junction of Anhui and Henan provinces. It has convenient transportation and formed a special smuggling market between the mountain city army and the Japanese defense line.

Before the Anti-Japanese War, Jieshou was just a small rural market. In the 27th of the Republic of China, the Shancheng government blasted the Yellow River embankment. Taihe County was flooded, and Jieshou flooded with a large number of victims and suddenly became a commercial center.

Both the Shancheng government and the Japanese army adopted an economic blockade policy. Such a general environment has also stimulated the rapid expansion of smuggling.Jieshou has formed a smuggling center in these two provinces due to its convenient transportation.

The current Jieshou is actually more prosperous than Bengbu, with a dense flow of people, like a cloud of tourists, in addition to shops, hotels and restaurants, there are also theaters, smokehouses and other entertainment venues.

The Minhua Company controlled by the Kodama Agency of the Japanese Army, the Lingnan Company controlled by the Mei Agency, and Boss Du’s Tongji Company, etc., actually have branches at the head of Jieshou. This shows the particularity of this place.

"Bureau seat, according to the report of the Fuyang Intelligence Team of the Luzhou Station of the Military Unification Bureau, the signboard of the Jieshou purchase point of the Huatong Trading Company Luzhou Purchase Station has been hung up. The purchaser leased the house in a high-profile manner. Pan Qiwu came to Dai Li's office.

Before leaving, Chen Mingxiang had already reported the general itinerary of Anhui Province to the headquarters of the bureau, which means that the goods in the bureau can be transported to the Shanghai market on the route of Anhui Province.

So Dai Li ordered Luzhou Station, a partner of the Military Unification Bureau headquarters, Huatong Trading Company, to set up locations in Luzhou, Bozhou, Bengbu, Jieshou, Lu'an, Suzhou, Anqing and other places to purchase supplies. Luzhou Station must Effectively guarantee the safety of the acquisition station.

The bureau headquarters also directly gave power to the stationmaster, explaining the reason for this matter. In order to raise funds, the bureau headquarters chose Huatong Trading Company as the agent of the Shanghai stock market.

After receiving a telegram from the boss, Luzhou Station almost wanted to make the so-called Luzhou Purchase Station a living ancestor, and sent special personnel to stare at several places. Once it was discovered that a Huatong Trading Company purchase point was listed, Report it right away, this is a big business that makes money for the Military Command.
