Chapter 998: Injured
The Nationalist Army fought the Japanese on the battlefield for more than three years and was very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. If you don't go head-to-head with them, try to avoid them. On a frontal battlefield, the Nationalist army has little chance of winning unless it is tenfold stronger. Although the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army has decreased. But the elite of the national army also suffered heavy losses.
The reconnaissance operation of the Political Security Bureau seemed to be to find out information for the Japanese army, but in fact, it also had elements of intimidation of the national army. The New 2nd Army may still be able to fight the Japanese army, but those guerrilla columns will have much worse combat effectiveness.
If this information reaches the national army, they will surely be panicked. This information was not made up by Zhu Muyun, the Japanese army did send reconnaissance personnel. At the same time, the Political Security Bureau also sent three places to reconnoitre.
Seeing that Deng Xiangtao was still a little hesitant, Zhu Muyun reported to him in detail the actions of the three places. Shi Xixia and his wife personally went out and led the capable personnel from the three places, and they had already touched the direction of Zhupo Mountain.
Although Shi Xixia was attacked in Jiutou Mountain, Shi Xixia and his wife, as well as Zhu Jiading, all passed the test smoothly, and the three of them should have infiltrated the base area. These three people are all veteran spies, especially Chen Lan, who can better cover them.
"What do you mean, the Japanese army will be swept up in the near future?" Deng Xiangtao said with a deep groan.
"Quite possibly." Zhu Muyun said firmly. His words were not alarmist, and the Japanese army did show signs of mobilization. Inoue Kanichi is a staff officer of the Operations Division of the Military Headquarters, and there is absolutely no mistake in this information.
"You reported that the New Fourth Army may counterattack, is the intelligence accurate?" Deng Xiangtao asked again, the Japanese army wants to sweep up, the New Fourth Army wants to counterattack, and the national army has no plan to occupy Zhupo Mountain for a long time, so it seems that the best plan for the national army is to withdraw immediately.
However, as soon as the Zhupo Mountain was occupied, it was evacuated immediately, and the main force of the Hunan-Henan-Hubei advance column was not severely defeated, which would make people feel that although they were victorious, they were still defeated.
"This is information obtained by the Political Security Bureau, and it should be reliable." Zhu Muyun nodded and said firmly. This information was not provided by him, and even if the New Fourth Army did not counterattack in the future, it could only be said that the information of the Political Security Bureau was wrong.
"Do you have more detailed information?" Deng Xiangtao asked. He knew that Zeng Shan of the Political Security Bureau had set up eyeliner in the Communist Party. If it is said that the information obtained by the Political Security Bureau should have been provided by Zeng Shan.
"Not yet, the Hunan-Henan-Hubei advance column was defeated by the national army, and their communication with each other is not smooth, how can there be accurate information?" Zhu Muyun shook his head and said.
"Pay close attention to the intelligence in this area, and we must not let the Communist Party succeed." Deng Xiangtao solemnly said that the attack on Zhupo Mountain did not eliminate the vital force of the Hunan-Henan-Hubei advance column, and the national army was actually very nervous.
The New Fourth Army has always been elusive, and it is in their territory, and if they really want to be ambushed by the New Fourth Army, the face of the national army will be disgraced. Originally, it was to ambush the New Fourth Army, but the New Fourth Army had already prepared. It was only in order to cover the people and transfer the organs and the wounded that they fought hard with the national army.
But even so, the New Fourth Army did not break its bones. Once they find an opportunity, concentrate their superior forces, and knock the national army hard, it will definitely hurt. The New Fourth Army does not fight uncertain battles, and although they have few men and poor equipment, their combat effectiveness is very strong.
The combat effectiveness of an army with trust is terrible. The Battle of Huangqiao is a clear example, and the New Fourth Army already has the conditions to win more with less in the face of the national army.
"Yes." Zhu Muyun said that he hoped that the New Fourth Army would really resolutely fight back, beat the national army hard, and let them evacuate on their own initiative.
After separating from Deng Xiangtao, Zhu Muyun went to Jinan Road again. Since Deng Xiangtao wants to make a deal with Jiutou Mountain, he still has to try his best to facilitate it. It's just that whether Jiutou Mountain will agree or not is another matter.
The most important thing for Zhu Muyun is that he still wants to find Hu Mengbei. The Hunan-Henan-Hubei advance column was attacked by the national army, and the personnel of the Hunan-Hubei-Henan border area were captured by the national army before they had time to transfer. If these people are sent to Guanshaling, the end will be absolutely tragic.
"What is Yang Shiying going to do with the people of the New Fourth Army?" Zhu Muyun asked Yuan Wangcai, now that Yang Shiying is a big boss, of course, he has the final say in the affairs of Jiutou Mountain.
"Of course, I listened to Mr. Zhu, temporarily settled them on the mountain, and didn't let the people of Zhongtong see them." Yuan Wangcai said that Zhongtong is not from Jiutou Mountain after all, and their actions make the brothers on the mountain very disgusted in some places.
Moreover, Zhu Muyun specially advised the people of the New Fourth Army and the people of the Central Unification to try not to intersect. Where there is the New Fourth Army, people from the Central Command cannot go. In the past few days, the dispatcher of the Central Union, except for his own room, basically cannot walk around Jiutou Mountain.
"When you were training in Zhongtong, did you learn to take pictures?" Zhu Muyun asked.
"I've fiddled with it a few times, but it's not good." Yuan Wangcai was embarrassed to say that as a professional agent, he also needed to lurk in the occupied area, taking pictures, sending and receiving newspapers, ciphering, poisoning, blasting, shooting, and driving, these are the most basic courses.
It's just that their conditions are limited, and sometimes, they can't cover everything. For example, taking pictures is only taught once, and Yuan Wangcai has not had the opportunity to use it since he learned it.
"It doesn't matter if you don't shoot well, just take a few more shots." Zhu Muyun took out a camera, he couldn't hold Hu Mengbei's portrait and let Yuan Wangcai identify it. Hu Mengbei's safety is closely linked to his safety. The best way is to let Yuan Wangcai take pictures of all the people in the agency.
In doing so, you can carefully screen whether there is Hu Mengbei or not. At the same time, he also wanted to get to know the people in the Hunan-Hubei-Henan border area. These people are his comrades and comrades-in-arms, even if you can't talk freely with them, it's good to look at their appearance.
Jiutou Mountain does not have the conditions to develop photos, after Yuan Wangcai finished shooting, Zhu Muyun will develop them, these people, as long as he has seen it once, he can always remember it in the future. In fact, it is also against the regulations to do so. However, Zhu Muyun is eager to communicate with his comrades, even if it is good to see their appearance.
"Mr. Zhu, this ......" Yuan Wangcai said hesitantly.
"I will give you practice your photography skills, and in addition, I also want to see what the New Fourth Army is like." Zhu Muyun said with a smile.
"Okay." Yuan Wangcai said that no matter what Zhu Muyun's purpose is, since he has this request, he will try his best to meet it.
"There wasn't much film, even though five or six people were shooting together, mainly on the face." Zhu Muyun reminded that there was no need to take full-body photos, what he needed to see was the faces of these people.
After Yuan Wangcai took a photo, Zhu Muyun quickly took it to rinse. He was in the basement of Chaoyang Lane, and he was able to develop the photo. In order to get the photo as soon as possible, Zhu Muyun waited in the basement. He prepares a magnifying glass, and immediately after each photo is fixed, he looks carefully at the person in the photo.
Although these photos are precious, when he sees them, they will be burned immediately. Along with the photographs, there were also negatives. Zhu Muyun counted, there were a total of sixty-eight people in the photo, but some people appeared repeatedly, in fact, there were only fifty-five people.
This figure is consistent with the figure mentioned by Yuan Wangcai. It's a pity that among these fifty-five people, there is no Hu Mengbei. This made Zhu Muyun both happy and worried.
After completely destroying all the photos and negatives, Zhu Muyun left with mixed feelings. He hoped that Hu Mengbei could be transferred safely and return to Guxing as soon as possible. As for whether Hu Mengbei will sacrifice, Zhu Muyun never thinks about this issue. He kept telling himself that this would not happen.
In fact, Hu Mengbei did not sacrifice. But he was injured, and Wu Chaogeng personally operated on it, and he had just undergone surgery. The hospitals in the base area are also constantly being transferred. However, in order to save the wounded, they had to take the risk of stopping and undergoing an important operation.
"How are you feeling today?" Wu Chaogeng didn't know Hu Mengbei's identity, he only knew that all comrades must do their best to rescue them. In his eyes, all warriors will be treated equally, and there is no distinction between high and low.
Hu Mengbei's injuries were serious, and on his body, two pieces of shrapnel were removed, as well as a bullet. If it weren't for the improvement of the conditions in the hospital, it would have been difficult to rescue Hu Mengbei's injuries.
"It's okay, I shouldn't be able to die." Hu Mengbei said with a smile, after the anesthetic on his body began to fail, there were bursts of pain from the wound. However, no matter how great the pain was, how could he cry out.
"Fortunately, there is a generator, and there is enough kerosene and medicine, otherwise your surgery would not have been possible. You can't take out the shrapnel or bullets on your body. Wu Chaogeng said that without the medicines and equipment provided by the comrades, he would also be a clever woman who could not cook without rice.
"Looks like I'm lucky." Hu Mengbei smiled and said that most of the things in the hospital were provided by Zhu Muyun. He always said that he wanted to protect Zhu Muyun, but in fact, Zhu Muyun saved his life in disguise.
"You are indeed lucky, our comrade, before that, enough medicines and medical equipment were delivered in time. Otherwise, your surgery won't be done in the wild. Wu Chaogeng said with emotion.
"Thank you, Dean Wu, and thank you, comrades." Hu Mengbei said.
"You don't have to thank me, if you do, thank the comrades who provided us with medicines and equipment." Wu Chaogeng waved his hand, he and Wu Chaogeng seemed to be chatting, but in fact, from the state of Hu Mengbei's speech, he could observe how his injuries were recovering.
"I'll thank him well." Hu Mengbei said that others don't know how these things come from, but he knows very well.
Not long after Wu Chaogeng left, Bian Mingze also came to visit Hu Mengbei. The two of them talked mainly about work. And the center of their work is mainly about Zhu Muyun. Even internally, they only call Zhu Muyun by their code name.
"You should have gone back sooner, or you wouldn't have lost contact with the weeds." Bian Mingze said with a sigh.
