Chongqing.

Zeng Jiayan official residence.

Chen Bui was in the office to deal with official business, but there was a sudden knock on the office door.

"What's the matter?"

Chen Bui didn't raise his head, and asked directly. This knock on the door is very familiar, so familiar that he doesn't need to ask to know who it is, this is the secretary's habitual method, and others usually knock twice in a row, this female secretary who has been with him for more than three years is knocked three times in a row, maybe she herself didn't notice the difference, but it was used by Chen Bui to distinguish her from outsiders.

"Director, Director Dai asks to see you."

The voice of the female secretary was as good as ever.

"Did he say anything?"

Chen Bui asked through the door.

"No, Director Dai only said that he would consult with you about the military situation."

"Invite him in."

Chen Bui knew that his female secretary couldn't stop this big spy leader, although he didn't want to see him at this time, but he didn't want to embarrass his subordinates.

Before he could finish his words, he heard the door being pushed open, and the footsteps of a person came, and along with the footsteps, there was Dai Li's familiar voice: "Brother Yan and brother, you are really calm!" ”

After hearing Dai Li's words, Chen Bui raised his head and put down the file in his hand.

"What's wrong? Can our Director Dai be so unbreathable? ”

Chen Bui looked at Dai Li indifferently, he was not good at observing words and colors, so he naturally couldn't see the expression on Dai Li's face, whether it was panic or joy.

"You really don't know?"

Dai Li was a little puzzled.

"Know what?" Chen Bui felt a little inexplicable.

"Director Dai, our director hasn't had time to read the military intelligence report yet, and now the telegrams are still with me."

The female secretary followed Dai Li in and hurriedly interjected.

"I see!" After hearing the secretary's explanation, Dai Li immediately smiled, walked to Chen Bui's desk, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Although Chen Bui doesn't like Dai Li, he never argues with him on the surface, or shows a feeling of boredom. Seeing that he had already sat down, he beckoned to the secretary and said, "Make a cup of tea for Director Dai." ”

"No, no, I'm not here to beg for tea." Dai Li stopped, and he continued: "Since Yan and his brother haven't had time to read the military intelligence report, then Dai will try to be a secretary and tell Director Chen about it." ”

"I want to hear about it." Chen Bui didn't say that the person who said this was Dai Li, so he was polite, and he didn't even shirk the usual ones.

"The fierce battle in northern Jiangxi is snoring, presumably Yan and his brother know better than Dai." Dai Li's words were something that Chen Bui was extremely concerned about, and he said: "The matter of Gao'an City being recaptured, Yan and his brother also know about it. ”

"Hmm." Chen Bui nodded.

"After the Japanese 106th and 101st divisions were captured in Gao'an, they did not counterattack, but the main force instead advanced in the direction of Xiushui.

"Yes."

"Ke Yan and his brother definitely don't know, just yesterday, the 102nd Brigade that served as the rear guard of the 106th and 101st Divisions was jointly broken by the 57th Division and the 139th Division of the 32nd Army, and the brigade commander Yoshio Kudo was also killed."

"Oh, I read the battle report yesterday and know that Shi Zhongcheng and Li Zhaoying broke through the defense line of the 102nd Brigade, but I didn't see the battle report about the killing of Kudo Yoshio."

Chen Bui felt a little surprised, he knew that Dai Li would not make up these military information to fool himself, he said this, it must have happened.

"I guess they don't even know about it by now." Dai Li smirked. "This is from my secret agent in Nanjing, and the reason why the 106th Brigade was defeated quickly was because Kudo Yoshio and his entire headquarters were killed. In addition to the thousands of remnants of the cavalry brigade captain Hisada Oshima who led his troops to desperately save the 106th Brigade, including Yoshio Kudo, the commander of the 103rd Wing, Kozo Tanigawa, and the captain of the 157th Wing, Kotaro Fukui, were all annihilated. ”

"Really?" Chen Bui was so shocked that he almost jumped up.

"Seriously." Dai replied.

"Director, what Director Dai said is true, just now the telecommunications room received a telegram from Commander-in-Chief Xue, saying that the 139th Division Li Zhaoying killed one Japanese major general and two Dazuo, and it was confirmed that it was the commander of the 106th Brigade of the Japanese Army, Yoshio Kudo." The secretary interjected at the right time, and she took out a message from the folder in her hand and handed it over.

Chen Bui didn't read the telegram, he wouldn't doubt the authenticity of this matter, Dai Li wouldn't blame himself for this kind of thing, and the secretary wouldn't deceive himself about this kind of military situation. He took out a map from the drawer, unfolded it quickly, and then looked at it carefully, his fingers fell on the Xiushui piece, and he said urgently: "Since the backs of the 106th and 101st divisions of the Japanese army are wide open, didn't Commander-in-Chief Xue adjust the deployment and strive to eat the Japanese troops of these two divisions in one bite?" ”

"Hiko, you, you!" Dai Li's courage in the Republic of China is also full of praise, if anyone other than Lao Jiang will care so much about the party-state and the military situation, that person will definitely be Chen Bui. "You don't want to know, who did all this?"

"Didn't you say that Li Zhaoying's troops made a contribution?" Chen Bui was a little puzzled, he didn't wait for Dai Li to speak, and continued: "Whether it is Li Zhaoying or Shi Zhongcheng's troops' merits, we don't have to care about what should be rewarded. Yunong, come and see, if at this time, Xue Boling mobilizes all the national departments in northern Jiangxi and lays out a big pocket, then these two divisions of the Japanese army will be completely annihilated by us. ”

Chen Bui pointed at the map, but he didn't notice that Dai Li's brows were furrowed.

Although Dai Li is a senior officer with the rank of lieutenant general, he is not very interested in the things of fighting on the front line, except when he is in Lao Jiang's office, he basically does not touch these military maps, let alone think about how to fight, what can make him interested is the money and beauty, and the monitoring of these military bigwigs.

"Brother Yan and brother, don't blame Dai for being too talkative, look at you, I'm worried about the war, people have lost weight like this, and I haven't been home for a long time, I estimate that your house is now covered with dust. Fighting, there are Li Zongren, Chen Cheng, Xue Yue, Luo Zhuoying and these people, let them think about it, we just need to take care of the commission and listen to his old man's instructions, why do you bother to find this guilt for yourself! ”

"Yunong, you can't say that, let's do more, the committee can think less, so many things about the party and the state can be all on him alone." Chen Bui usually calls Lao Jiang the president, but now he suddenly changed his name to the commission, which surprised Dai Li.

"Brother Yan and brother, to be honest, Dai rarely admires anyone, but you are definitely one in my mind." Dai Li pointed to his heart and said, after he finished saying this, as if he remembered something again, he said: "Let you interrupt this time, I almost forgot to talk to you about business." ”

"Serious business, what you just said is serious business, isn't it?"

"Of course, but I don't get to the point yet." Dai Li smiled weirdly, and then said, "Brother Hiko, do you really think that it was Li Zhaoying's troops who killed Kudo Yoshio?" Do you really think that the 57th Division, which had just been incorporated into the 74th Army, and the 32nd Army, which had just lost Gao'an a few days ago, could defeat the 106th Brigade so easily? ”

"The message is clearly stated, is there any falsehood in this way?"

"Brother Yan and brother, it's not that you haven't seen it, the gang of people below, have you done less to disobey the yang and disobey the yin, and falsely report the military situation and military exploits?"

"However, this is from Xue Boling. He's not going to do that, is he? After Chen Bui heard Dai Li's words, he picked up the telegram on the table again, and only after seeing that it was Xue Yue who made the payment, he responded to Dai Li's words.

"Of course Xue Boling won't do this, but the army commanders and division commanders under him can't say for sure, just like Li Zhaoying, the commander of the 139th Division of the 32nd Army, is a veteran who knows this well."

"But judging from the news fed back from the battlefield, the Japanese 106th Brigade did retreat, could it be that they retreated by themselves?" Chen Bui was a little puzzled.

"I said Brother Yanji, are you really confused or fake?" Dai Li shook his head and accused him: "I see that you are busy these days, let me ask you, where is your son-in-law now?" ”

"He? How did you get involved with him? ”

"Alright, Brother Hiko, don't use your little caution on me. You personally instructed him to send troops to Jiangxi, don't say you don't know. Dai Li's words were full of words, which made Chen Bui hesitate.

"If you don't talk about it, I almost forgot about it. Yes, his kid should have gone to Jiangxi too. ”

Dai Li saw that he was still deliberately pretending to be garlic, and he didn't intend to break him, so he said: "I'll just say you, don't bury yourself in this pile of files, telegrams and military intelligence reports every day, you should also come out to breathe and see the outside world." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, Yu Nong, you're right." Chen Bui is an upright person, and he is not very good at lying, and he is a little ashamed to be poked by Dai Li.

"Could it be that he was the one who killed Yoshio Kudo and defeated the 106th Brigade?" Chen Bui seemed to suddenly think of this, and he stood up in shock.

"That's right, according to the telegrams sent back by my people from everywhere, Dai can be sure that it was Sun Yumin's men who killed Kudo Yoshio, and it was his troops who first broke the mouth of the 106th Brigade." Dai Li was very proud when he said this, this is a naked show off the power of the military command, it is already pervasive, even if it is thousands of miles away, as long as he wants to know, he will immediately make it clear.

"I just don't know why Sun Yumin would give away this great credit, Dai is really puzzled." Dai Li saw that Chen Bui was standing silent, and he said another word.

"I didn't see the wrong person, and I didn't see the wrong person, this kid was born to be a person who should go to war." Chen Bui didn't hear what Dai Li said at all, two tears rolled down his emaciated cheeks, and his mouth was muttering.

"Of course you are not wrong, Sun Yumin is indeed a good hand at fighting." Dai Li echoed and said: "There is a Wang Yaowu who can fight in the northern Jiangxi battlefield itself, and now there is another him, I don't think the Japanese army wants to move forward half a step." ”

"That's natural, now the backs of the two Japanese divisions are completely exposed in front of our army, it is simply a good opportunity for the ages, if these two Japanese divisions can be annihilated in this battle, Okamura Ningji's plan to attack Changsha will end without a problem."

As soon as the military situation was mentioned, Chen Bui immediately seemed to be a different person, from the previous weakness to the shrewd and strong at the moment.

"Although there is no need to worry too much about northern Jiangxi, southwest Anhui is not very peaceful." Dai Li's seemingly casual words firmly attracted Chen Bui's eyes to him.

"What's wrong with southwest Anhui?" Chen Bui asked, seeing that Dai Li didn't answer him, he asked his secretary again: "What's going on over there?" ”

"The 13th Division of the Japanese Army since the defeat of the Battle of Suizao, then withdrew to Anhui, recently launched a tentative attack on Liao Lei's Department of Lihuang, just received a telegram from the 48th Army, the 65th Wing of the Japanese Army suddenly swept the area of Huoshan, and there was a fierce battle with my uncle's troops, the 176th Division Shounian Division was reinforced in time, and the Japanese army was repulsed, although the results were not small, but the losses were also very large."

The secretary's words were like a basin of ice water splashed on Chen Bui's head, and he was so surprised that he stood up, but he was very disappointed by the news, and sat back in the chair.

"You and I both know what kind of person Sun Yumin is, if he learns the news of the fire in the backyard, he will definitely be desperate and bring troops back to help." Dai Li did not shut up because of Chen Bui's loss, but he said the worry in Chen Bui's heart more sharply: "The war in northern Jiangxi is so anxious, if he suddenly withdraws troops and leaves, no one knows what the consequences will be." This is the reason why Dai came to you, even if I don't say it, I believe that Yan and you should understand at this time, I came on the order of the commission. ”

Chen Bui knew that what this big spy leader said was true, and he was about to ask Dai Li if there was any good way, but he heard him say: "The 106th Division and the Sazhi Detachment of the Japanese Army in northern Jiangxi are storming Xiushui, and the intention is very obvious, that is, to march to northern Xiangbei; The 33rd Division of the Japanese Army in southern Hunan was advancing to the upper reaches of the Miluo River, with the same goal of converging with the Japanese army in northern Hunan; However, the 6th Division of Xiangbei, the Nara Detachment, and the Shangcun Detachment have broken through the two defense lines of the Xinqiang River and the Miluo River, and Changsha is already in danger. If Sun Yumin returns to his lair at this time, and lets the Japanese army in northern Jiangxi ignore it, the reaction will be huge, and I am afraid that you and I will not be able to bear it. ”

Chen Bui was silent again, what Dai Li said was definitely not something he could fabricate out of thin air, he who had never been too concerned about the military situation, would definitely not understand it so thoroughly, these were 100% Lao Jiang's words, so he didn't say it to him, it was because he had been following him for many years, and he didn't want to embarrass him.

"So what the chairman means is not to let Sun Yumin know about this matter, and everything will wait until the end of this war." Dai Li added.

"I understand what the president means, and I can understand it, as for Sun Yumin, I believe he will also put the interests of the party-state first." Chen Bui sighed and said slowly: "Yunong, as for how to block this news, I will worry about you. ”

"Director, you can't do this, although my uncle is fighting in northern Jiangxi, but Miss is still in Huoshan, you can't ignore it."

When Lu Man was in Yangshupu, he and Sun Yumin jointly wrote a letter to Chen Bui, saying that they were together now, and photos were attached. The female secretary knew about this matter, so not only Chen Bui was alone, but even she knew that the young lady was in Huoshan.

The two of them have a very good relationship, and as soon as these words came out, it was like a hammer hitting Chen Bui's heart. With the interests of the party-state on the one hand, and his most beloved daughter on the other, what can he do?

"Leave it to fate! I hope that Sun Yumin's subordinates who stayed in Huoshan can protect her! ”

After Chen Bui said this, he got up and stood up, he turned around and went to the filing cabinet behind the chair to rummage for something.

Dai Li didn't know what he was doing, but the secretary knew very well that this old man, who was over half a hundred years old, seemed to be rummaging through things, but in fact he didn't want outsiders to see his sadness.
