It was already noon when Tang Chaoyuan received the letter from Fang Hu, and he was sitting alone in the office of Tang's company.

After carefully translating the password in the secret letter, he knew why Tang Yi was in such a hurry to deliver the news.

Tang Chaoyuan picked up the phone, "Hey, I'm Tang Chaoyuan, give me Meng Huanping, who is in charge of the southern transportation line." ”

After a while, a voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello chairman, I'm Meng Huanping." ”

"Huanping, that's the case, has the shipment to Ningbo been delivered on the 12th?" As he spoke, Tang Chaoyuan's hand gently tapped on the phone microphone.

"Oh! The chairman has already delivered, I know that the goods are urgent, so I stepped up the arrangement, and it will be delivered on the 15th," Meng Huanping replied.

"That's good, thank you for your hard work." Tang Chaoyuan stopped tapping, and the information had already been transmitted.

"It's not hard, the chairman pays attention to his body."

"Haha, so are you." After speaking, Tang Chaoyuan hung up the phone.

On the beach, in an unknown basement, Meng Huanping hurriedly sent out the information he had just received.

Chongqing Military Command Temporary Confidential Headquarters

Liao Wenkang took off his headphones and hurriedly walked to Deng Zhenting's office with the translated information.

"Seated, "Stinger" urgently. Liao Wenkang said as soon as he entered the door.

Deng Zhenting hurriedly took the document and looked at it carefully: "The bureau and the chairman went to Changsha together, so you ask the people of the confidential corps to secretly monitor these four people first, and I will immediately send a report to the bureau to ask for instructions on how to act." ”

Liao Wenkang immediately received the order, and Deng Zhenting came to the telegraph room to personally launch information for Dai Li.

Changsha Tianxin Pavilion

Chang Kaishen looked up at Changsha, which was already in ruins and full of scorched earth, his face flushed abnormally with anger, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out.

He angrily slapped the ancient city wall and shouted, "Niang Xipi, check it for me!" Find out who ordered me to set the fire! ”

In fact, there is nothing to check at all, the scorched earth policy was originally Chang Kaishen's own intention, but because of an accident, the advance plan was out of control.

It turned out that as early as a few days ago, Chang Kaishen issued a secret order to Zhang Zhizhong, chairman of the Hunan Provincial Government, and the secret order was stated.

"If Changsha falls, the whole city must be burned, I hope to prepare carefully in advance, don't make mistakes!"

Immediately, Zhang Zhizhong received a call from Lin Wei, deputy director of Jiang's chamberlain, with the content of "A scorched earth policy should be used for Changsha."

After that, Zhang Zhizhong immediately called Ling Yuyi of the Security Department and Xu Quan, the director of the Provincial Security Department, and handed over the task of burning the city to the two.

At 4 p.m. on the same day, the two came up with a "plan to burn the city".

The original plan to burn the city was designed to be somewhat conditioned, but no one expected that in the early morning two days later, the wounded soldiers' hospital outside the south gate of Changsha suddenly caught fire.

After Xu Quan received the soldier's report, he telegraphed the Guan Lin Zheng Office on the front line and learned that there was nothing to do ahead, and the south gate was not the place where the fire was raised, so it was judged that it was an accidental fire.

So Xu Quan hurriedly called the police chief Wen Chongfu and asked to put out the fire.

But the answer was: the police have evacuated, and the firefighters have evacuated.

What's even more impressive is that all fire trucks have replaced water with gasoline in order to implement a scorched earth policy. The accidental fire was not extinguished quickly.

Instead, it can only be allowed to spread everywhere! Less than a quarter of an hour later, three more fires broke out at the south gate.

The city garrison headquarters, which did not know the truth, saw the fire outside the city and thought it was a signal, and threw lit torches at oil drums or residents' houses.

Not long after, even Tianxin Pavilion was on fire, and then the whole city caught fire.

Seeing that the fire could no longer be extinguished, the city could only be abandoned. In the end, the Changsha fire burned for five days and five nights before it went out on its own.

This was devastating to the whole of Changsha, and more than 30,000 people were burned alive by the fire, and many more people were burned to ashes in the blazing fire.

......

At this time, a military commander captain hurriedly came to Dai Li, who was following Chang Kaishen's inspection, and after whispering a few words in Dai Li's ear, he handed over the information in his hand.

Dai Li's face changed greatly after looking down carefully, and he hurriedly walked to Chang Kaishen's side without saying anything.

"Chairman of the Committee, Shanghai Beach is in an emergency, Wang Zhaoming may flee Chongqing in the near future."

"Mother, Xipi! One by one, they don't let Lao Tzu worry! The reason why the country is weak is because of these people! Chang Kaishen said angrily.

Dai Li lowered his head, it could feel that Dao Chang Kaishen was already on the verge of exploding.

Then Chang Kaishen didn't speak, and went down to Tianxin Pavilion behind his back, and Dai Li hurriedly followed with his subordinates.

"Arrest and interrogate the commander of the Changsha garrison, Wen Chongfu, the chief of the Changsha police, and Xu Kun, the head of the second garrison regiment! I was killed directly when the problem was judged. Chang Kaishen suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth.

"Yes" Dai Li nodded hurriedly, then waved his hand back, and a captain led the way and hurried away.

"As for this Wang Zhaoming... Strengthen the surveillance of him, and he still can't be placed under house arrest! As for the four nails on the beach, find a time to catch them and interrogate. Chang Kaishen ordered again.

"Yes, I'll do it right away."

In Chongqing, after receiving a call back from Director Dai Li, Deng Zhenting immediately ordered a meeting of the group.

In the conference room, everyone looked at Deng Zhenting, waiting for him to give a task, Deng Zhenting cleared his throat and said: "Shanghai Tang has sent information that the enemy will have abnormal movements at Wang Zhaoming recently, and the confidential corps will arrange more manpower to strengthen surveillance. ”

The captain of the confidential corps said: "Director Deng, there are enough people in Wang's house recently, and I have received reliable information from my side, Wang Zhaoming may want to organize students to protest, if this will increase the number of people, will it be detrimental to the reputation of the chairman." ”

Deng Zhenting was silent for a while and said: "Increasing surveillance is an order given by the chairman, so there is no need to worry!" ”

"Yes"

"Other personnel have arranged for this teahouse and the grocery store to be monitored! If there is any change in the target personnel, arrest them immediately! Deng Zhenting said loudly.

"Yes!" The crowd answered.

In the teahouse, Feng Yi looked at the customers who were more than in the past with some doubts, and he keenly felt that he was in danger.

Guan Zhi, who acted as a running hall, did not notice the problem, after all, the people who came to monitor the teahouse this time were also the elite personnel of the military command of the Chongqing side.

"This simple-minded reckless man." Feng Yi scolded Guan Zhi in his heart.

Feng Yi had a faint feeling that they had been discovered by the military commanders, and the teahouse was full of surveillance personnel, so he decided to resolutely give up Guan Zhi and find a way to escape by himself.

He returned to the room, changed out of the robe and horse coat worn by the shopkeeper in the past, put on a suit, glued a fake beard to himself, put on gold-rimmed glasses, and appeared in the mirror as a cultured person.

He quietly walked to the thatched house in the backyard, the innermost one of the thatched houses was against the courtyard wall of the opposite house, and he had quietly dug a small hole in the courtyard wall after he felt the danger after taking over Chang Yaojiang.

Just enough to be able to pass through Feng Yi, who was thin and weak, he bent down and endured the huge smell to pull open the wall tiles that had been demolished on the wall, and climbed over with his head down!

Then, taking advantage of the fact that the people in the family next door were not paying attention, he straightened his clothes, held his chest high, and walked out of the yard with a calm demeanor.

A few military commanders on the street, pretending to be idlers, took a look at him, then withdrew their gaze and continued to monitor the teahouse.

Feng Yi's heart was beating violently because of nervousness, he called a rickshaw and left the teahouse far away......
