Tan Hao said loudly again: "Sir, this is Zhangzhuang Town, Guzhen County! It's not Gong Changzhang, it's Li Zaozhang! It's close to the Jinpu Railway! It's in the southwest of Xuzhou! Further west is the Xuxuan Highway!"

At this time, several staff officers rushed to the map, searched for it, and turned around and said: "There is indeed a Zhangzhuang town in Guzhen County, just on the Jinpu line! Sir, it's right here!" They pointed at the wall with wooden poles.

on the map.

The officers were shocked. They all looked at the map and talked about it: "Why are there Japanese troops there? Where did they get there?"

Tan Hao said loudly again: "Sir, now, now! The Japanese army is attacking Zhangzhuang Town!"

Chief Li and Chief of Staff Xu both stood in front of the map, looking at the small Zhangzhuang town in surprise.

Chief Li said: "That should be the vanguard of the Japanese 18th Division! They actually want to get in behind Xuzhou! Not only do they want to open the Jinpu Road! They actually want to cut off our retreat!"

He turned around and asked loudly: "Chief of Staff Xu, which troops are in that area?"

Chief of Staff Xu immediately said: "Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army is in that area!"

Chief Li said: "Notify Commander Yu immediately and send a force to Zhangzhuang Town! Eliminate that Japanese army!"

30-38

At this time, Chen Zifeng's group guarding Zhangzhuang Town and Lin Jiatai's small force were both in danger.

Under the pressure of the powerful firepower of the Japanese army, they had to retreat into the town, and finally retreated into the big house! They stubbornly resisted the Japanese attack!

The Japanese machine guns smashed the windows and bricks of the big house into pieces. The whole house was filled with dust and made people breathless! Some Japanese soldiers climbed up the wall and jumped into the yard.

Chen Zifeng's brothers and Lin Jiatai's small unit kept throwing their guns into the yard. They leaned on the windows and shot outside.

At this time, the strong door was finally broken open by the Japanese army, and many Japanese soldiers poured into the yard. The people in the house shot at the Japanese soldiers who poured in, killing them in the yard. But more Japanese soldiers rushed in!

The situation in the mansion is precarious!

At this moment, fierce gunfire came from outside the town!

The attacking Japanese soldiers suddenly retreated outside like a tide!

From both ends of the street, a large number of national soldiers rushed over, firing machine guns and rifles at the same time!

Chen Zifeng and Lin Jiatai led the soldiers to rush out of the house and chased the retreating Japanese troops and shot them!

Ten minutes later, all the Japanese soldiers attacking Zhangzhuang Town were wiped out!

30-39

As soon as the battle ended, Chinese soldiers began to sweep the battlefield throughout Zhangzhuang Town, looking for remaining Japanese troops.

At this time, Chen Zifeng saw two people he knew among the small New Fourth Army troops who were resisting tenaciously. One was Mr. Liu whom he had met at Du Mansion, and the other was Li Xiulan.

Throughout the resistance, several New Fourth Army soldiers were always guarding them.

Chen Zifeng laughed and walked over and shook hands with Liu Richen, "Oh, Mr. Liu, we are so destined. I didn't expect to see you here. Where are you going?"

Liu Richen smiled and said: "I have something to do and I have to go to northern Shaanxi. Lin Jiatai sent me there, and I met you here. Team leader Chen, I heard that you completed the national army's drug mission very well.

!I guess the Japanese must be very angry!”

When the medicine task was mentioned, Chen Zifeng also became a little proud and said: "Mr. Liu, I appreciate your compliment. The medicine thing is okay! However, it is not my fault alone. Your side also played a big role. This

I know."

Lin Jiatai came over and shook hands with Chen Zifeng vigorously, "I just heard from Brother Qianghu that you knocked down a secret radio station of the Japanese army? Okay, you are really good at it!"

Chen Zifeng became even happier and said, "Mr. Lin, do you think we will meet again in the future?"

Lin Jiatai said with a smile: "Look, we can meet here, and we will definitely meet again in the future! For sure!"

At this time, Xiao Ancheng came over with Captain Zhang from the 51st Army and introduced them.

Captain Zhang said: "No one thought that the Japanese troops would come to this place! Only after they came did we realize the importance of this place! Leader Chen, you are really amazing!"

Chen Zifeng said: "Captain Zhang, fortunately we met brothers from the New Fourth Army, otherwise, we would be in some danger!"

30-40

In the evening of this day, the National Army's Fifth Theater Command located at the Xuzhou Road Administration Office gradually became quiet.

The officers were all off work. Some went to eat, some gathered to chat, and some went to look for flowers.

Tan Hao had just arrived and had nowhere to go, so he still sat in the telecommunications room with headphones on his head, slowly turning the direction-finding antenna to monitor radio signals.

Vaguely, he felt that there was a strange atmosphere in the room, which was particularly peaceful and disturbing.

He slowly turned back and unexpectedly saw Chief Li Zongren standing at the door, looking at him.

Chief Li is not tall and his skin is slightly dark, but his face is stern and his eyes are deep and majestic.

Tan Hao hurriedly took off his headphones, jumped up, stood at attention on his feet, and said, "Sir, I didn't hear you come in."

Commander Li smiled and said: "Young man, are you the one who made the report loudly in the headquarters today?"

Tan Hao said: "Sorry, sir, I am."

"How come I haven't seen you before?"

"Sir, I was temporarily transferred here to monitor the Japanese military radio."

"Really? Where were you originally?"

"Sir, I am originally a lieutenant officer from the Shanghai District of the Secret Service. I was transferred here a few days ago."

"Oh, I was transferred here temporarily. Very good. What's your name?"

"Sir, my name is Tan Hao."

"Oh, very good, your name is Tan Hao. Very good. If I suggest that you stay in the fifth theater and stay in my headquarters from now on, will you be willing?"

Tan Hao couldn't help but stutter. He didn't know how to answer.

Chief Li smiled and said: "No one dares to speak so loudly in my headquarters! You are the first! Think about it. Let me know before this time tomorrow! Okay, put on your headphones

, continue to monitor."

Tan Hao watched in a daze as the upright Chief Li walked out of the telecommunications room.

In fact, he has long been willing in his heart. If your parents value you so much, do you dare to say that you are not willing? Really!

30-41

After the battle in Zhangzhuang Town, the mission of Chen Zifeng's team returned to its previous state.

Lin Jiatai's small force stayed in Zhangzhuang Town for one night and left early the next morning.

Chen Zifeng understood that Mr. Liu, who was escorted by Lin Jiatai, must be a big shot in the Communist Party of China! Look at this big shot, he doesn't look like a big shot at all. He speaks so calmly and even smiles.

Generally speaking, Mr. Liu left a very good impression on Chen Zifeng. He would never have thought that he would meet Mr. Liu again in the future!

Xiao Ancheng continued to maintain radio contact with Tan Hao and Chief Yang every day, constantly monitoring radio signals, hoping to identify new Japanese military radio stations from those deep sea-like radio waves.

Whenever he had a little free time, he would carefully look through the half-burned code book.

But that codebook, after being burned by fire, the paper became very fragile, and every time it was turned over, some crumbs would fall off.

Qiao Yanfang said: "Brother, if you look at it like this again, it will be completely broken in a few days!"

This is also what worries Xiao Ancheng. He frowned and said, "This is the Japanese military code. I have to study it!"

Qiao Yanfang said: "This is easy to handle. I will copy it for you. From now on, you can only read what I copied."

Xiao Ancheng looked at her with great surprise, "Oh, Xiao Qiao, it would be great if you could copy it for me!"

Qiao Yanfang was very happy and said: "I just want to help my brother do something. What's this, a small thing!"

She hasn't started construction here yet, but Leng Yue knows about it and wants to participate.

As a result, the two girls had a dispute over how to copy.

What Leng Yue means is to find a small notebook and copy down the remaining words in the code book. The notebook is also easy to carry and can be taken out for study at any time.

But Qiao Yanfang was more thoughtful. She suggested taking eight lines of letter paper, enlarging and copying the remaining parts of the code book as they were, and even writing down the page numbers as they were. The Japanese made some marks on the code book.

, also mark it as it is, and finally bind it into a book.

Leng Yue said: "If you use eight lines of letterhead, it will be a big notebook and it will be inconvenient to use."

Qiao Yanfang smiled enchantingly, glanced at Xiao Ancheng, and said: "Sister Leng, how did you know that my brother is not only reading, but also studying. If he has any ideas, he can mark them next to him. Take a small notebook.

, How should I ask my brother to mark it? It would be better to use a larger letterhead."

Xiao Ancheng sat nearby and watched the two beautiful girls arguing, which was quite interesting.

Finally, both girls looked at him, waiting for him to make a decision.

He thought for a while and said: "I really want to study it. If I have any ideas, it would be best if I could write them down."

In this way, Qiao Yanfang's idea was adopted.

In the next two days, the two girls began to copy the code books separately. Their handwriting was very beautiful.

I don't know why, but agents are all good at writing numbers. They are elegant, crisp and never sloppy. Each number is written in a large size, because the eight-line letter paper is indeed very large.

The code book has grids, and each grid has a set of numbers. The eight-line letter has vertical grids. They only need to take a small ruler and mark the horizontal grid on the letterhead.

All numbers were copied on the lower half of the letter paper. Because the upper half had been burned, it had to be left blank.
