In 1945, the Kuomintang’s river defense brigade was stationed along the coast of the Yellow River of . They set up layers of checkpoints there to conduct strict inspections of pedestrians coming and going.
On this day, Chen Shutang received a task issued by the organization, asking him to send an extremely important piece of information to the north bank of the Yellow River immediately.
Chen Shutang felt worried when he looked at the information. He thought about it and finally thought of a solution.
He found two baskets, one put some cigarettes in it, the other basket filled the bread with dough, and then hid the information in a cake, made a mark and stuffed it into the pile of cakes.
Just as the next day was dawn, Chen Shutang took on a load and set off. The weather was already very cold at that time, especially in the early morning, the temperature was even lower. However, Chen Shutang didn't feel cold. He walked slowly and even sweated.
Because it was still early, there were not many people along the way. It was quite smooth at the beginning, but it had not been long before he walked to Bianjiazhuang in Mengjin County, he suddenly found several people from the river defense patrol team coming over.
Chen Shutang's heart skipped a beat, it was obvious that the other party had already discovered him. It's too late to hide now. In desperation, he had to carry a burden and harden his teeth to walk towards the enemy, constantly thinking about how to deal with the enemy. Losing one's own life is a trivial matter. If the information falls into the hands of the enemy, it will cause huge losses to the party organization.
As he lowered his head and walked while thinking, a vicious voice suddenly sounded in his ears:
"Stop! What are you doing?" Chen Shutang looked up and saw several enemies pointing guns at him. One of the people who looked like an official scolded him.
"Boss, I am just a small business, a small business, and earn money." Chen Shutang pretended to be scared and answered timidly.
"Do you do a small business? Who do you want to cheat? You go out so early when doing a small business? I think you are a Communist spy!"
"Oh, boss, as the saying goes, you can eat more of this food, but you can't talk nonsense! I'm timid and can't resist the scare. You're okay, let me go, there are still a few mouths at home waiting for me to earn money to buy rice and put it into the pot!"
After saying that, Chen Shutang quickly put down the burden and uncovered it with fragrance. The cigarette was cloth-headed, picked up a pack of cigarettes, took out one, and handed it to the official in front of him: "The road is long, it's been a long time since we rushed out, thank you for your hard work, smoke a cigarette, smoke a cigarette!"
"Stop doing this!" The official knocked off the cigarette in Chen Shutang's hand, and pointed his mouth behind him, and immediately walked up to two enemies. They pressed Chen Shutang up and down, and found that nothing was found, and suddenly pushed him aside, then walked towards his cargo.
Chen Shutang secretly shouted in his heart, "Not good!", he hurriedly walked a few steps, squatted in front of the cargo load, and said with a smile: "No need for the boss to do it, I will do it myself, I will do it myself!"
He took out a few packs of cigarettes from the cargo load, stood up and walked to the enemy, nodded and gave it to them. Then he ran away again, arrived at the cargo hull again, squatted down, opened another basket, flipped through, pulled out a few pieces of bread from it, muttering, "It's early in the morning, the bosses have not eaten yet, come on, eat a piece of bread to fill your stomach first."
Chen Shutang gave the enemy a few pieces of bread to the enemy, and picked up a piece of bread from the basket, squatted on the side of the road and took a bite, and chewed it with relish.
The official looked at his wolfish look and curled his lips: "It's so poor! It's like I haven't eaten anything in my eight lives!"
then shook his stomach and arrived at the cargo load step by step. He personally snatched the cargo load from the cargo load. After seeing that there were really only cigarettes and dough cakes inside, he stopped.
He cursed, glared at Chen Shutang fiercely, took away a few packs of cigarettes from the basket, waved to his subordinates, and then the group left slowly.
Chen Shutang looked at the enemy's back as he walked away, raised his arms and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. He didn't know whether it was because he was sweating because he was too anxious to go on the road or the cold sweat that he was too nervous just now.
After breathing a sigh of relief, the heart that had been hanging was finally relieved. He touched the information hidden on his body and smiled. It turned out that when Chen Shutang was eating the marked cake, he took advantage of the enemy's attention to the goods load, and took the opportunity to secretly stuff the information on his body without knowing it.
After all, the enemy has searched his body, and now it is safest to put intelligence on it. He waited until he could not see the enemy, and then he sorted out the load and carried it on his way. In this way, Chen Shutang avoided the enemy's search without any danger. Finally, before dawn, he crossed the Yellow River and handed the information to his comrades.
Chen Shutang relied on his wit and courage to calmly face the enemy, avoided the enemy's investigation, and completed the mission successfully. In the years that followed, he sent intelligence to the party organizations many times and made indelible contributions to our country's revolutionary cause in his own way.
