Miao Yongyi slowly extended his hand, and Wang Zhenjiang also struggled to extend his uninjured right hand. The two large hands clasped together tightly, shook them heavily, and then slowly let go.
Wang Zhenjiang glanced at the others in the ward, signaling Miao Yongyi not to say anything more. He slowly closed his eyes to rest. He had just had a bullet removed from his shoulder and was very weak from excessive blood loss.
Miao Yongyi nodded slightly, turned around and quietly lay down on the hospital bed to rest. He showed no outward signs of illness, but his mind was filled with memories of the past. In an encounter battle on the Northwest Front, Miao Yongyi was shot in the abdomen. When he regained consciousness, he was already in a field hospital of the Red Army.
He then spent a long time recuperating here. During this time, he met Wang Zhenjiang, who was then the head of the Political Work Department of the Red Army. After a long period of contact and influence, Miao Yongyi joined the Red Party. By the time he recovered and was discharged from the hospital, the two parties had already ceased hostilities.
Following the Party organization's arrangements, Miao Yongyi returned to his unit, but lied and said that he had been rescued by the local people and only rejoined the unit after recovering from his injuries.
Due to the well-known special circumstances at the time, coupled with Miao Yongyi's background as a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy, Miao Yongyi did not arouse any suspicion.
After that, Miao Yongyi worked under the leadership of the local underground party until one day, the 52nd Army received the order to move out, and Miao Yongyi came to the Shanghai front line, thus losing contact with his superiors.
I never expected to run into Wang Zhenjiang, the person who guided me back then, here today. It was truly unexpected.
But how did Wang Kai, the section chief of the political work department at the time, become Wang Zhenjiang, a major in the National Revolutionary Army in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Special Operations Team today?
Miao Yongyi looked at Wang Zhenjiang, who had fallen into a deep sleep, with a sense of doubt.
At the special operations brigade's base, Ning Zhiheng accompanied the director and Bian Ze, and hosted a welcome dinner for the director at a high-end restaurant in Nanshi. The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely.
The director repeatedly instructed Ning Zhiheng to arrange the infiltration as soon as possible, and Ning Zhiheng readily agreed, saying that he would be ready to wait for orders from headquarters to launch the sabotage operation at any time.
Late at night, in Ning Zhiheng's office, all the officers from the three squadrons were waiting for his instructions.
Ning Zhiheng looked at the officers in front of him and sighed slightly. He didn't know what their future would be like. Perhaps they would die on the battlefield, or perhaps they would meet again someday.
He placed the suitcase on the table, coughed lightly, and sighed, "Gentlemen, although we haven't known each other for long, the trip to Pudong will be unforgettable. We've been brothers for a long time, and it's truly a pity that we'll be going our separate ways tomorrow!"
At this point, he pushed the suitcase in front of them. "On this occasion of parting, I have nothing to give you. As you know, during this time, we have acquired a large amount of medicine in the warehouse in Pudong and donated it free of charge to major hospitals in Nanshi to treat our wounded brothers in the army. All other supplies have also been sold off. The money we got is the money our brothers earned by risking their lives. It's all here."
Upon hearing this, the officers exchanged bewildered glances. They knew that the battalion commander had been reassigned and transferred away from the special operations battalion, and to be honest, they were extremely reluctant to see him go.
In the nearly two months of fighting before, my brothers fought hard, suffering heavy casualties and countless losses. Their situation was extremely difficult.
However, since following Ning Zhiheng, not only did he wipe out two Japanese plainclothes teams without suffering any casualties, but he also led everyone to seize medicine and save the lives of many brothers in the army. His contributions were enormous, which made the members of the special agent brigade feel a sense of pride. Everyone admired Ning Zhiheng. However, they did not expect that after only twenty days together, the brigade leader would be transferred again, which made them feel a little regretful.
"Captain, where are you being transferred to? Will we brothers still be able to serve under you in the future?"
"Captain, we have no use for this money on our way to the battlefield. You should leave it for the other brothers!"
Ning Zhiheng waved to stop the officers from speaking. He then opened his briefcase, revealing it filled with US dollar bills.
“One thousand dollars for each officer and two hundred dollars for each team member. But tell the brothers to keep their mouths shut and not cause any trouble,” Ning Zhiheng solemnly instructed.
The officers were all stunned. They didn't know the exact value of the supplies they had transported across the Huangpu River. But they did know how valuable the US dollar was! A rough calculation showed that the battalion commander had actually taken out nearly $100,000 this time. This was an unimaginable sum for them. Even if this money were divided among each person, it would be a considerable amount, enough to cover several years' worth of their military pay.
"Captain, with so much money, the brothers are unsure of what to do and dare not take it!" Man Gaoge was also somewhat shocked as he looked at the colorful US dollars in front of him and couldn't help but ask.
Ning Zhiheng knew they had reservations, so he smiled slightly and said, "We earned all of this ourselves, what's there to be afraid of! Don't worry, I've already taken care of everything. There won't be any problems with this money. Feel free to share it. We've been comrades for a long time and have developed a strong bond. If you become successful in the future and I, Ning, encounter any difficulties, I hope you'll lend me a hand, haha!"
Ning Zhiheng's words were half-joking and half-serious. Many of these officers were the section chief's men. In the following years, the section chief's power expanded rapidly. Among these people, there would probably be better development. He should make good connections here first, as it would be a valuable network for the future.
"Captain, rest assured, the future may be long and arduous, but if there is ever a day when we are needed, we will do our utmost and never refuse," Man Gaoge immediately said, patting his chest.
