Chapter 1Pawns crossing the river
In the autumn of 1936, Shanning City,

The fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month,

Moon Festival,
night.

The pattering rain hit the drenched ground, thick dark clouds covered the bright moonlight, the dark sky gave people a feeling of suffocation, and there were no pedestrians on the street.

In the rainy night, Mr. Bai Ze, wearing a raincoat and feeling cold, knocked on the door of No. 32 Ping'an Road rhythmically.

With a creak, the door opened, and a man in his forties came out. After seeing Mr. Bai Ze, he nodded to him, then looked warily at the quiet street in the dark night, and then closed the door. opened the door.

"Xiao Bai, why are you here? Have you forgotten our working principles? You can't come here. You can only wait for me to contact you." The middle-aged man said to Mr. Bai Ze in a somewhat stern voice.

"Mr. Li, I know the organization's underground work regulations, but the matter is urgent. In addition, Mr. Li, you said before that you would leave Shanning for a while tonight, so I can only take the risk and come here." Mr. Bai Ze also knows Mr. Li's I was worried, so I quickly explained.

"By the way, Mr. Li, you can rest assured that there is absolutely no tail behind me." After finishing speaking, Bai Zeshao added another sentence.

"Okay, let's not take this as an example, let's talk about your business." Mr. Li also knew the principle of urgency, so he didn't blame Mr. Bai Ze, but directly asked him why he came.

"Mr. Li, it's like this. A few days ago, the military academy made a final decision on the whereabouts of our graduates.
Although it hasn't been announced yet, it has been roughly clarified, but now there is another problem, and I have to come here to ask for the organization's opinion," Bai Zeshao said.

"What's the matter? Could it be that your whereabouts have changed? It shouldn't be, your grades are the best in your group, whether it's cultural subjects or mobility skills are excellent." Mr. Li asked with a frown.

One must know that the reason why he was leaving Shanning City tonight was because of Bai Zeshao's affairs.

According to earlier plans and practices, Master Bai Ze will join the frontline army of the Kuomintang Party after graduation. The army he joins happens to be a force that is currently besieging our army.

With Bai Zeshao's outstanding achievements, once he joins the Kuomintang army, he will play an unimaginable role for our army in crushing the Kuomintang army's encirclement and suppression.

Because of this, as the top person in charge of the underground organization in Shanning City, at such a sensitive time, he would risk leaving here and contact his superiors in person, planning to transfer Bai Zeshao's organizational relationship over.

Another reason is that Mr. Bai Ze is his downline for development and has always been in single-line contact with him.

It was under his leadership that Mr. Bai Ze embarked on the road of revolution. The two of them were both teachers and friends.

Therefore, when Mr. Bai Ze said that something had happened to him, Mr. Li became a little anxious.

"It is precisely because my grades are among the best in our group that there is a problem with my whereabouts," Bai Zeshao said helplessly and bitterly.

As a passionate young man, in this troubled world, who doesn't yearn for meritorious service and honors in the army.

But now he faces a painful choice, whether to be loyal to his faith or to his own heart.

"Liu Peiru, the director of the training department of the military academy, talked to me this afternoon. He said that my overall performance was outstanding and that I was a good prospect. He wanted to recommend me to join the Secret Service. He only gave me one night to think about it. I will report to him tomorrow." Mr. Bai Ze continued.

The Secret Service is a secret service organization. It has been chasing and killing members of the Red Party frantically for a long time, and its reputation outside is really not very good.

"Liu Peiru, this is one of the backbones of the Secret Service. He is a shrewd man and the city is deep. How could he suddenly find you at this juncture?" Mr. Li said to himself with some confusion.

"I don't know either. I never had contact with Liu Peiru when we were in the military academy, but Mr. Li, how do you think I should choose?" Bai Zeshao looked at Mr. Li when he was speaking.

"What did you think about it?" Mr. Li frowned and looked at Mr. Bai Ze.

"Do I have a choice? Liu Peiru seems to have given me one night to think about it, but soldiers have a bounden duty to obey orders. I'm afraid he has already arranged everything. Talking to me is more like a routine notice."

Mr. Bai Ze said with certainty: "It's just that the size of this notice is a bit large."

"You're right." Mr. Li walked back and forth in the room several times before stopping.

"Xiaobai, in fact, you don't need to join the Secret Service, the organization will respect your decision, if you decide not to join the Secret Service, I can arrange for you to leave Shanning tonight, and you can go wherever you are with your talent. Fight for the cause of the party"

"Mr. Li, needless to say, I decided to join the Secret Service,"

Bai Zeshao shook his head and rejected Mr. Li's kindness: "Although I can't make great achievements on the battlefield, if I really join the Secret Service, then I'm afraid I will play a greater role."

"Have you really decided?" Although Mr. Li was very pleased with Bai Zeshao's choice, he asked again.

As Bai Zeshao said before, joining the Secret Service will play a greater role in the cause of our party. After all, this is a nail in the heart of the enemy, and the opportunity is rare.

"It's decided." Bai Zeshao nodded heavily.

"Do you know that once you enter the secret service organization, your life will be lost at any time, and the enemies you face will be more cruel and cunning, and you will be trapped everywhere.

"And you can only face all these unknown dangers alone, just like a pawn crossing the river, you can only go forward bravely until you die," Mr. Li said solemnly.

"Pawn crossing the river, haha." Master Bai Ze suddenly chuckled: "Mr. Li, you used this word well. Pawn is an individual soldier. You can't accomplish anything unless you cross the river. Once you cross the river, you will never look back. In this turbulent and war-torn era, once you make a choice, you can never look back, you either die or..."

"Little Bai, you..." Mr. Li looked at the determination and smile on Bai Zeshao's young face, but he didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li. I, the pawn across the river, will definitely survive until the day I slay the dragon." Young Master Bai Ze said confidently, and then jokingly said: "Mr. Li, do you think I use the word "pawn across the river"? "How about this code name?"

"Okay, anyway, you are going to join the secret service organization, the Secret Service. For your safety and the needs of struggle, you really have to have your own code name, so use "Crossing the River Pawn"" Mr. Li thought for a while, and decided down.

"But I have a few words that I hope you can remember. They are my advice and admonitions to you." Mr. Li patted Mr. Bai Ze on the shoulder and then sat opposite him.

Mr. Bai Ze sat up straight and looked like he was listening.

"Xiaobai, no matter when and where you are, you must be loyal to your beliefs and keep your bottom line. When you do something again, you must think twice before doing something, be bold and careful, and I would like to say take care of you at the end." Mr. Li He said slowly and simply yet solemnly.

"Mr. Li, I remember, then I'll go first." Bai Zeshao looked at the time, it was getting late, and it was almost time for the military academy to turn off the lights, so he also got up and walked out the door.

The moment Bai Zeshao opened the door, Mr. Li's words rang in his ears again: "Xiaobai, you must pay attention to your own safety. I'll wait for the day when you little pawn slays the dragon."

"Yes." Mr. Bai Ze turned his head, with a faint smile on his face, softly uttered two words, and then left directly.

Because of the sudden change in Bai Zeshao's affairs, Mr. Li also had to make some corresponding adjustments to the previous arrangements. Although he no longer had to leave Shanning, he had to send a telegram to his superiors.

Therefore, after Mr. Bai Ze left, Mr. Li went directly upstairs to activate the radio station, sent Mr. Bai Ze's message to his superiors, and waited for his superiors' reply.

While waiting, Mr. Li always felt restless, so he got up and went to the window.

Looking at the dark night outside without any human figures, Mr. Li's inner irritability did not diminish at all.

He didn't know why, but since Master Bai Ze left, he had a bad premonition that something would happen.

But at this moment, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the sound of raindrops outside could even be heard inside the house.

Drop drop drop!

The radio station rang at this time, and Mr. Li ignored his inner uneasiness and quickly received the instructions from his superiors.

At the same time, at the corner of two streets away from Ping'an Road, three dark green military vehicles and a black car slowly stopped, and a group of agents in raincoats quickly got out of the vehicles.

The door of the leading car was also opened, the driver quickly opened the umbrella, and a middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic came out of the car. The middle-aged man Liu Peiru took a look at the bad weather, but he was in a surprisingly good mood.

Because he is about to catch Mr. Li, the person in charge of the Red Party in Shanning. Who would have thought that on August [-]th, the day of family reunion, and it was a rainy night, people from their Secret Service would take action? Such a big move.

And for the sake of secrecy, only a few people know about the arrest plan. Even now, the members of the action team brought behind him don't know that the person they want to arrest is the person in charge of the Red Party in Shanning.

"Uncle, what are we doing here today?" At this moment, a young man stepped out of the car and asked the middle-aged man curiously.

"Xiao Bing, be patient, you will know later"

After Liu Peiru finished speaking, he immediately turned to the people around him and ordered: "Start taking action. Remember to capture as many people as possible alive. If there is resistance, shoot without mercy."

The cold and murderous words seemed even more gloomy and bloody under the night.

Click!Click!
With the bullets loaded, a group of action team members ran towards their destination silently, splashing a large amount of water droplets along the way.

In the night, on the quiet street, this group of people, like executioners crawling out of hell, quickly surrounded No. 32, Pingan Road, where Mr. Li was.
