"The Browning you are talking about is too weak. Even if I wear a thicker leather jacket, it can't penetrate it. It's better to use a shell gun, one shot at a time, so as not to delay things during the battle!"

" The Browning you are talking about is too weak. I wear a thicker leather jacket, but it can't penetrate it. It's better to use a shell gun, one shot at a time, so as not to delay things during the war! "

1976, Chu Fangjian, who had just become a scout, returned home and showed off his target shooting report card to his parents. His marksmanship is pretty good, and his levels are all close to ten. Just as he was happily saying that he was in the army and often played with Browning pistols , his usually gentle and virtuous mother Zheng Shaoyi said this.

Chu Fangjian immediately felt that his mother was not simple, so he said: "Mom, you are a cadre of the procuratorate, how can you still know about guns?"

Although Zheng Shaoyi was already over fifty years old at this time, her eyes were still open. But there was a girlish cunningness flashing through her. She said: " You don't know, right? I was an agent of our New Fourth Army back then, and I even saved the life of our General Ye Fei! "

This is true! At the beginning, it was Zheng Shaoyi's risky action that helped the New Fourth Army completely open up the situation in northern Jiangsu ! It can even be said that the life and death of the New Fourth Army is directly related to Zheng Shaoyi's action! General Ye Fei even found her personally to thank her for her "life-saving grace." What's going on?

Zheng Shaoyi’s real name is Li Zhenfang, and she is from Yangzhou, Jiangsu. Their family has a large population, but thanks to the hard work of their father Li Zhiming, they can still get by. Li Zhiming's education level is not high, but he is very open-minded and feels that his daughter should study and go to school like men. Therefore, as the eldest daughter, Li Zhenfang was sent to school since she was a child.

Li Zhenfang is smart and sensible, studies hard, and has very good grades. The poverty of her family made her understand the value of knowledge even more. In the primary school graduation exam, she got first place in the school! This result allowed her to be directly promoted to Yangzhou Middle School!

As the cost of educating his children gradually increases, Li Zhiming, who is already busy all day long, is even more tired. He worked hard to earn money just to give his children a better learning opportunity. Li Zhenfang felt very sorry for his father, so with the help of his teacher, he worked as a tutor for some wealthy children to earn a small income. She doesn't keep any of the money she earns, and leaves it all to her father's disposal. Neighbors all said that Li Zhiming had raised a good daughter!

Soon after, Yangzhou martial arts master Liu Dianbi heard the name of Li Zhenfang and wanted to meet this strong girl. As soon as the two met, Liu Dianbi said that he would accept Li Zhenfang as his disciple! At the same time, Liu Dianbi also said that other people's children have to pay tuition to learn martial arts here, but Li Zhenfang does not. Not only does he teach boxing for free, but he also wants her to inherit the mantle! From then on, Li Zhenfang had to work hard between school, tutoring, and martial arts gyms. But what is amazing is that she arranges her time very well. Not only is her homework and work not delayed, but her time is not delayed either. She started relatively late, but made rapid progress, not only filling the gap between her and her brothers, but also participating in martial arts competitions on behalf of the martial arts school.

On December 14, 1937, the Japanese army entered Yangzhou City. The people in this thousand-year-old city were plunged into dire straits. At this time, Li Zhenfang had already been influenced by new ideas in school and wanted to go to Yan'an, the holy land of revolution, to find a way out. But at this moment, the small grocery store where Li Zhigu worked closed. The family has lost their source of livelihood and their lives are becoming more and more difficult. Li Zhenfang couldn't raise the money to travel to Yan'an, so he could only continue to work odd jobs at home.

In the spring of the Chinese New Year, Li Zhigu participated in some anti-Japanese activities and was arrested and imprisoned. Here, he met a person named Xia Lan. The two hit it off and quickly became good friends. Later, Li Zhigu told Xia Lan that his daughter wanted to join the Communist Party and work for the revolution, but she was unable to find a way. At this time, Xia Lan revealed to Li Zhigu that she was actually an underground party member and could help Li Zhenfang realize his dream.

Soon after, the two were released, and Xia Lan entered the army of Chen Wen, the patriotic Cantonese general and Qingyuan garrison commander.Soon after, the Party Central Committee informed Xia Lan that underground party branches could be established in the army. Of course, it is not easy to establish a party branch. It must have corresponding staffing. At this time, Xia Lan thought of Li Zhigu, so she wrote a letter to see if she could get Li Zhenfang, a positive young man, to help her.

Li Zhenfang was very excited after receiving the letter. She packed a few clothes, said goodbye to her parents, and walked out of the house.

After coming to Xia Lan's party branch, Li Zhenfang underwent a period of testing and training. At this time, the party organization urgently needs to arrange a large number of intelligence personnel behind enemy lines. Therefore, Li Zhenfang's first job was to help Xia Lan collect and organize information. Over time, she also developed a strong sense of confidentiality. At the same time, her ideological consciousness is also constantly improving. After a period of training, she honorably joined the party and officially joined the New Fourth Army.

In 1939, the situation in northern Jiangsu was extremely complicated. Under the flexible and determined resistance of the New Fourth Army, the Japanese army's raids have been effectively contained. However, the stubborn Han Deqin and other local forces often ignored the overall situation of the anti-Japanese war and had frictions with our army. In order to resist the Japanese and puppet troops more permanently and effectively, and develop their own strength, Chen Yi, captain of the first detachment of the New Fourth Army, put forward the three major policies of "attack the enemy, unite with Li, and isolate Korea", that is, resolutely To confront the Japanese and puppet troops as the enemy, they united with the two local security forces, Li Mingyang and Li Changjiang, to isolate the increasingly aggressive Han Deqin Department. Among the three major policies of

, the most important is "Lian Li". Li Mingyang and Li Changjiang are local forces in Taizhou City, with more than 30,000 troops. Although it belongs to the "miscellaneous army", it is also very powerful. If they collude with Han Deqin, they will cause huge harm to the New Fourth Army and the Anti-Japanese National United Front .

However, it is definitely not possible to openly send party representatives to Er Li's army. Han Deqin is too strict and will not allow it at all. Therefore, Chen Yi decided to send a group of underground personnel into Er Li's army to obtain intelligence while subtly influencing Er Li. Li Zhenfang is a newcomer who has just joined recently. He is both literary and military, and has underground work experience. He is the best person to perform this task. So under the arrangement of the Party Central Committee, Li Zhenfang changed his name to Li Xin, joined Er Li's army, and became a lieutenant trainer in the Political Training Department.

Li Zhenfang was not yet twenty years old at this time. Carrying out such a latent mission was definitely a major test for her. If she is not careful, not only will the plan fail, but her own life will be threatened. But Li Zhenfang didn't hesitate at all. After getting familiar with the other party's situation, he set off.

There were many female officers in Er Li's army. Most of them are family members or lovers of certain officers, and they basically live in the military establishment. These people don't have very strong abilities, but they often have a lot of substantive information. After Li Zhenfang arrived, he quickly became very familiar with them and got a lot of information from their mouths. Every time after collecting this information, Li Zhenfang would always use a special secret writing potion to write a letter to the organization, and then hand it to the comrades who came to contact him on the appointed day. In this way, she conveyed a lot of important information.

In 1940, the New Fourth Army came to station in Guocun Village. Guocun is not far from Taizhou , and the distance from Er Li's troops is also quite close. If you are not careful, there is a great risk of misfire. Li Zhenfang worked even harder to collect intelligence to ensure the New Fourth Army's next move.

At this time, Li Zhenfang transmitted a vital piece of information, which directly led to the subsequent "Guocun Defense Battle" and " Huangqiao Battle", which completely opened the door for the development of the New Fourth Army in northern Jiangsu. situation!

It was one day in late June 1940. Li Zhenfang, who was sleeping, was suddenly awakened by a burst of noise. She heard people outside the window keep shouting " is paid! Payed! ", and then there were a lot of messy footsteps and shouts. Li Zhenfang looked at the calendar and saw that there were still a few days left before the official pay day.Have you been paid in advance? She immediately sensed something was wrong, put on her clothes, washed briefly and walked out of the room.

Today's army compound is already crowded with people. There were already several long queues lined up at the door of Er Li's army's accounting room. Many people were holding newly issued banknotes and happily discussing where to spend money in the evening. It seems that the salary is really paid in advance. But Li Zhenfang's heart suddenly sank, and a very worrying thought slowly appeared in her mind.

Er Li's army is a pure miscellaneous army. This kind of army is the least valued in the country's establishment. Don't talk about being paid in advance. Even if you can be paid normally, it's already a big deal. In the short period of more than half a year since Li Zhenfang came, he has not been able to catch up with the normal salary. On the contrary, one time, military pay was in arrears for two months. It wasn't until the people below were about to mutiny that military pay was in place. Is there something fishy about paying wages in advance now? If you think about the worst, could it be related to the New Fourth Army in Guocun?

Li Zhenfang really wants to understand these, but things have to be done one by one. If you seize the opportunity and send out inaccurate intelligence, it will be detrimental to the New Fourth Army and the entire anti-Japanese situation. Li Zhenfang knew that the female officers with whom she was already familiar with might not know the details of the military operation. She had to find a way to start directly from the military commanders.

After receiving his military pay, Li Zhenfang put on his military uniform and began to take a rare walk in nearby bustling areas. She knew that when those officers had money, they would eat and drink as soon as possible. If you can find a few people who "tell the truth while drunk", you can figure out what the other party is up to.

Sure enough, in a pub, Li Zhenfang saw several officers who were already drunk. They unbuttoned their collars one after another, making loud noises and shouting. Li Zhenfang was not polite. He walked in front of these people, slammed the table and drank: " just got paid and went here to drink. Do you still have military discipline in your eyes? Wearing clothes like this, it's just Don’t want the military image anymore? ”

The officers were initially shocked, but when they saw that Li Zhenfang was a female officer, they continued eating and drinking. One of the officers said: " Sir, I see that you are a lieutenant and have a higher rank than me. But have you ever fought in a war? People die in war! What's the use of asking for money when people are dead? What's the use of asking for discipline?" I'm going to the battlefield tomorrow, and I'm going to Guocun to fight against the New Fourth Army! If I don't have a good drink before departure, I don't know if I'll survive tomorrow! "

The officers here, All echoed. Li Zhenfang pretended to be angry, lost his temper and walked out of the tavern. But inside, she felt a little confident. It seems that Er Li is really planning to accompany Han Delin all the way to the dark side and confront the New Fourth Army and the people. Moreover, the time to launch the attack is probably tomorrow!

However, Li Zhenfang was still calm at this time. She had to find a way to verify this information. Those officers are all drunkards. If they are drunkards, their credibility will be greatly reduced! However, the verification speed must be fast! Otherwise, even if the intelligence is handed over and the New Fourth Army has no time to deploy, it will not work. So Li Zhenfang thought that there was a staff officer in the war department who had a good relationship with him, so he might as well take the risk to find him. This information was so important that she had to do everything possible to get the exact information. Even if she was exposed because of this, she felt it was worth it.

After Li Zhenfang found the staff officer, he chatted for a few words first, and then said in a mysterious manner: " My home is near Guocun, and I have some other industries. I heard that we are going to Guocun to fight tomorrow, can you tell me more about it? After all, I asked my family to prepare. ”

The staff officer immediately took out a copy of the meeting minutes of the War Department. Only then did Li Zhenfang discover that this was a major operation targeting the headquarters of the First Detachment of the New Fourth Army in Guocun.Er Li actually used 13 regiments of troops for this operation! When we fought against the Japanese and puppet troops, I had never seen such a large formation! Li Zhenfang suppressed his anger and silently memorized the attack direction of each regiment, then thanked his staff and walked out.

After getting the exact information, Li Zhenfang still had to face a difficulty: there are still two days left before the contact time specified by the organization. Under the principle of single-line contact, even if she activates the temporary mechanism and forces a meeting with the contact person, the fastest response time will be the next day, which is not enough time! How can we immediately notify the New Fourth Army to prepare? Li Zhenfang was really in trouble.

After thinking about it for a while, she felt that she could only use a more extreme method: to deliver the information herself. Fortunately, "Er Li" is now stationed not far from Guocun, and it's still too late for him to hurry up. So in order to deceive others, she returned to her room, took off her military uniform, put on a white cheongsam, and then set off.

The distance between Erli's station and Guocun is not far, but if you use human legs to walk, it is really not close. Li Zhenfang had practiced martial arts and had good physical fitness. He ran all the way, but his speed was never very fast. The rivers, fields and water networks in northern Jiangsu are densely covered, and many roads are blocked by streams and ditches. In order to seek speed, Li Zhenfang always jumped into the water directly. After walking a few miles, the hem of the snow-white cheongsam was already covered in mud. But Li Zhenfang didn't care about this and continued to run! But when she ran to Pengjiazhuang near Guocun, she was really scared - she saw a wide river between the two villages. The river is dozens of meters wide, and no one knows how deep it is. It was early summer, and there had been several heavy rains nearby, making the water flow in the river even more rapid.

Although Li Zhenfang is also a girl from Jiangnan, she has had little opportunity to touch water since she was a child, so her water quality is not good. At best, she can only swim a few times in calm rivers and ponds. Such a wide river was obviously beyond her ability to swim. So Li Zhenfang sat on the shore, wanting to see if there was any passing ship that could take him there. But after waiting for a long time, there was not a single boat in sight.

It was getting late at this time. If the information was not sent out, it would be too late. Li Zhenfang's determination to complete the task outweighed his fear of water. She lifted up her cheongsam and walked down the river bank step by step, ready to see if she could pass through the water.

However, Li Zhenfang still underestimated this big river. After taking a few steps, she felt that the water was getting deeper and deeper, reaching her chest. A strong water pressure made it difficult for her to breathe. But she didn't look back and kept moving forward. After walking a few more steps, her feet could no longer touch the bottom of the river. Li Zhenfang could only use her unskilled swimming skills to swim to the other side bit by bit. The river was wide and the waves were strong, so Li Zhenfang drank several mouthfuls of water while swimming and was in danger several times. But with a strong desire to survive, she could always stabilize her mind at the most critical moment and prevent herself from being swept away by the river.

I don’t know how long it took, but Li Zhenfang finally swam to the other side. At this time, she, who was originally in excellent physical condition, was already out of breath from exhaustion. However, she did not dare to stop, but struggled to stand up and continued towards Guocun! She must deliver the information to the New Fourth Army's top commander in Guocun, Commander Ye Fei, before sunrise the next day!

I don’t know how long I walked, but Li Zhenfang’s legs and feet were already covered with blood blisters and streaks of blood drawn by thorns. Her pair of shoes had long since been damaged by water and had to be discarded. The usually harmless grass on the mountain ridges turned into tiny vines, blocking Li Zhenfang's progress. However, Li Zhenfang still did not slow down his speed and ran forward barefoot.

Before nightfall, she finally arrived at the door of the New Fourth Army Headquarters and knocked on the door. After the door opened, she only had time to say: "I'm looking for Commander Ye, there's an emergency!" Then she fainted.

At this time, Ye Fei, leader of the Sixth Regiment of the First Team of the New Fourth Army, had just fallen asleep. But before he fell asleep, he heard the guard outside shouting: " Captain, there is a lesbian outside who wants to see you. There is urgent information! " Ye Fei quickly got up, put on his clothes and came outside. Met Li Zhenfang. Li Zhenfang revealed all the information he had, and Ye Fei quickly began to make arrangements to prepare the New Fourth Army soldiers for battle overnight. When he turned around again, Li Zhenfang had already fallen asleep from exhaustion.

The next day, Er Li's troops came to attack as expected. But under Ye Fei's defense, all their attacks failed. In this battle, Ye Fei dealt a heavy blow to this group of stubborn opponents and won the battle to defend Guocun. Next, General Su Yu commanded the troops to win the famous Battle of Huangqiao, completely suppressing Han Deqin. Afterwards, Ye Fei mentioned Li Zhenfang to Chen Yi and believed that without Li Zhenfang, the New Fourth Army would be in danger.

Li Zhenfang slept until about three o'clock in the morning the next day. She slept soundly and comfortably this time. In her own words, she felt like she was back in her mother's arms. After that, the two Li troops discovered that the information was delivered by Li Zhenfang, so they shouted a funny and cruel slogan: "Capture little Li Xin alive, skin and cramp!" Although this slogan has no operation, it still sounds disturbing. Comfortable. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Li Zhenfang changed his name to Zheng Shaoyi and stayed in the New Fourth Army.

Later, after the liberation of the country, she entered the procuratorate and became the vice president of the Provincial Higher People's Court. She rarely mentioned her legendary experience back then, so many people didn't know about it. It wasn't until 1975 that General Ye Fei visited Shaoxing to inspect Zheng Shaoyi by name. After the two met, Ye Fei took Zheng Shaoyi's hand and said: " You saved my life back then! " Only then did others know that the vice president of the court was also an intelligence worker. Heroine!
