At three o'clock in the afternoon, in a dimly lit underground café next to the train station, Lin Shirong met Liu Zezhi and reported: "Early in the morning, I met Ding Wei, the former head of the quartermaster department of the 117th Division, and handed him the handwritten letter from Chief Han. At noon, I met Ding Wei at a grocery store outside the Central Hotel who was out buying cigarettes. ”

Seeing that Lin Shirong was deeply worried, Liu Zezhi stirred the coffee and said, "He found an opportunity to hand over the letter to Ren Hengwen at lunch, but Ren Hengwen was very unlucky, right?" ”

"I really can't hide anything from you, Ding Wei said that Ren Hengwen was startled, and he refused without much thought, and burned the letter. Ding Wei persuaded a few words, and Ren Hengwen almost turned his face: saying that since he had taken this step, he would not look back, and for the sake of Ding Wei following him for five or six years, he would not hand him over to the Japanese as if nothing had happened. ”

"That's what I expected. What else did Dinway say? The more detailed, the better. ”

Ding Wei said that the second and third batches of training might be postponed, and the Japanese promised that their division would replenish the troops, and the garrison had been arranged to the suburbs of Nanjing. He also said that he really couldn't, and he escaped with us on his own. I took it upon myself to refuse, I think he played a bigger role by Ren Hengwen's side than escaping and returning to the team. ”

"You're doing the right thing."

Lin Shirong asked, "Then what should we do next?" It's really not good, just according to Chief Han's original idea: assassinate Ren Hengwen! ”

"I don't think there is a need to change plans,Ren Hengwen's reaction...... There are several possibilities, perhaps because they were worried that the Japanese would send Ding Wei to test him, or maybe they thought that a letter from Governor Han alone was not sincere, and it was possible that he was trapped. I want to see Ren Hengwen, the sooner the better. ”

"You have a point, see? It's too difficult in Nanjing, Ding Wei said that Yu Siwen is almost inseparable from Ren Hengwen, can he wait for Ren Hengwen to return to the station that the Japanese just demarcated for him? ”

Liu Zezhi suddenly asked: "No, Lao Lin, are you sure that the Japanese arranged the station of the 117th Division after the mutiny in the suburbs of Nanjing?" ”

"Sure, I'm still thinking that the whole training hasn't ended yet, and the new unit number hasn't come down yet, and the Japanese are very good to Yanlord, which may be the reason why Yanlord is desperate to join the Japanese."

"Impossible! Yanlord Wen couldn't even lead the entire 117th Division to mutiny, which shows that his prestige in the 117th Division is also limited. Nanjing is the capital of Wang's puppet regime, aren't the Japanese afraid of changing their elbows? ”

Lin Shirong also felt something strange: "When you say that, I don't think it's right." And why did you postpone the second and third batches of training plans? It's not logical. ”

"Lao Lin, do you say that there is such a possibility: the Japanese want to transfer the 117th Division to the front line in Burma, so they urgently replenish the troops. They were transferred to Nanjing for the convenience of the pull-out. ”

"There is this possibility, when I broke up with Ding Wei, we agreed on a contact method. If the Japanese really hit this idea, convincing Ren Hengwen would be a little more sure - what are you thinking? ”

Liu Zezhi was very embarrassed: "If this is the case, Ren Hengwen should be able to get it...... But at that time, it would be too late to persuade him to pull back the more than 4,000 people of the 117th Division who participated in the mutiny......"

"A reorganized division of the Wang puppet government is about 10,000 people, which means that the 117th division needs to be supplemented with five or six thousand people. But how can I hide it from Siwen's eyes and ears and meet him? ”

"My concern is not about this, but about whether the plan needs to be changed. In this way, Lao Lin, you keep in touch with Ding Wei, and keep me informed when there is news. ”

Whether you can convince Ren Hengwen is still secondary, the key is what to do after convincing him? Was he used to get another part of the Japanese army to reinforce Burma's battle plan? This was the task given to him by the military commanders; Or let Ren Hengwen lead the troops to change the court again? This is what he promised Han Deqin, and it was also recognized by Dai Li.

With such a big matter, Liu Zezhi didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he decided to ask Shangfeng for instructions.

At six o'clock in the evening, Ge Jiapeng suddenly came again, and from the window of the hotel room where Liu Ze was staying, he could see a gray striped stand-up collar shirt hanging from the window, and he walked into the room with confidence. Liu Zezhi asked, "Why are you here?" I was saying I'm going to get in touch with you. A telegram must be sent immediately to the headquarters of the Bureau. ”

"The telegram that Cui Feng just sent is you, and it must be delivered immediately."

Liu Zezhi took out the code book and translated the message, with a smile on his face: "Jiapeng, Director Zhou is coming to Nanjing." ”

"Great! So Director Zhou's task of plotting against the 79th Regiment has been completed? ”

"Yes, the incident will start at nine o'clock tonight, and Director Zhou will rush to Nanjing at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon. This is the address and contact code, you go to pick him up in person, I will move to the suburbs, and wait for you in the private house you rented in advance. ”

Ge Jiapeng recognized Liu Zezhi's caution about changing his foothold every day, and he took the note that Liu Zezhi handed him written on the newspaper torn into narrow strips, took it to heart, and replied while burning it: "I know, you can give me the draft of the telegram to be sent to the bureau headquarters." ”

Liu Zezhi handed over the prepared secret telegram to Ge Jiapeng and advised: "I estimate that there will be a return call tomorrow before you go to pick up Director Zhou, and you bring the call back." ”

At eleven o'clock at midnight on the 8th, the work coordination meeting of the Personnel Department of the Headquarters of the Chongqing Military Command Bureau finally came to an end, Secretary Han gently pushed open the door of the conference room, leaned over and whispered a few words to Mao Renfeng, and handed over an open folder. Mao Renfeng opened it and finished reading, and was silent. None of the people present dared to disturb them, and the needles could be heard in the room.

Mao Renfeng secretly calculated: The Flying Eagle Plan was explained by the supreme military leader in person, and he couldn't do his best. But assisting Han Deqin was also Dai Li's nod, fish and bear's paws...... He weighed it in many ways, and finally made up his mind, and ordered: "Secretary Han, call back: at all costs, complete the Flying Eagle Plan." ”

Secretary Han agreed. Mao Renfeng said again: "Let's adjourn the meeting, Director Xu and Deputy Director Chen will come to my office in ten minutes." ”

Chen Jinsong, who was promoted to deputy director of the personnel department of the military command a month ago, thought that the various field stations had not met the requirements for supplementing personnel, so they complained to Mao Renfeng, and Mao Renfeng asked him to discuss a solution.

Mao Renfeng said with a hypocritical expression: "Jin Song, sit down and say." I need a temporary action group, which can be formed within 12 hours, and the personnel are not too many, three or five people are enough, and at least one of them is required to have a relationship with Ren Hengwen, the commander of the 117th Division under Han Deqin's department, and also have an old man who understands English and Japanese, preferably an old man in the military command, and has experience in plotting rebellion and lurking. The rank of the team leader is a little higher. ”

Chen Jinsong was very embarrassed: "Most of those who have experience in plotting rebellion, and those with the rank of major and above, have been sent out. Knowledge of English and Japanese is also required...... How is Liu Zezhi? The other personnel ordered him to be transferred from the Shanghai Branch, Zhou Chengbin and Zhang Chi escaped, is it still necessary for him to stay in Shanghai? ”

Mao Renfeng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, he is indeed the most suitable candidate." I'll think about it, you go back and rest—come on, call Secretary Han to see me. ”

After Chen Jinsong left, Xu Yixuan, director of the inspection department, said: "What are Mr. Mao's instructions for his subordinates?" ”

Mao Renfeng's face sank and said, "Look at the secret inspectors you arranged!" Ai Gaowen, Xie Wei, and Gan Min are all boneless things! Xie Wei has actually been reused by Ni Xin, and has been fighting against the Shanghai Branch. ”

Xu Yixuan defended: "Nanjing, Shanghai and other Songhu areas are the main battlefields of our war with the Japanese pseudo-intelligence, and the people deployed to the Shanghai branch are all elite, Xie Wei...... I was also appreciated by you before, but I didn't expect it...... It's all the fault of subordinates. When they had the opportunity to see Zhou Chengbin and Zhang Chi, their subordinates apologized to them. ”

"Apologies? Are you dizzy? Secret inspection is the practice of the military commander, and it is your duty! ”

"Yes, the subordinate lost his word."

"Since the arrest of Agawain, I have not received any report from you to rearrange the inspectors, what are you doing these days? Interpretation! ”

Xu Yixuan said with a smile: "I've been busy...... The subordinate means, I will arrange it. Mr. Mao, has there been any result of the huge amount of money that is missing in the Shanghai branch mentioned by Ai Gaowen in the secret telegram? ”

"It's up to you, you're negligent! It's not up to you, but you're thinking about it! Your subordinates only need to find a problem and report it to the commander, and how to deal with it is not up to you to ask. ”

"What the chief taught me is that his subordinates will immediately start arranging."

At five o'clock in the afternoon of the 9th, in a private house in the suburbs of Nanjing, Liu Zezhi saw Zhou Chengbin, and he smiled: "You are here, I didn't expect there to be kitchenware here, and when I was waiting for you, I went to the vegetable market in front to buy some food, and I just cooked it." Jiapeng, you also sit. ”

Ge Jiapeng picked up the teapot on the table and poured three cups of tea, and replied: "The kitchenware was left by the previous tenant, and I have a good fortune today." This is the information that Cui Feng put in the dead mailbox that he retrieved on the way, please take a look. ”

Liu Zezhi took the information and said, "Jiapeng, you look at the winter melon pork ribs stewed on the stove." Lao Zhou, plotting against the 79th Regiment, with twists and turns, I really didn't expect you to be able to successfully complete the task. ”

Ge Jiapeng went to the kitchen with interest, and Zhou Chengbin smiled: "So much nonsense? Hurry up and translate the telegram. ”

Liu Zezhi translated the telegram, handed it to Zhou Chengbin, and said: "Look at it, the bureau headquarters ordered us to continue to persuade Ren Hengwen to rein in the precipice, but there is no need to let him and his troops return to the team, and use him to get the Japanese to reinforce the battle plan of the East Route Army in Burma, and after successfully completing the Flying Eagle Plan, set up an action group to go to Burma, keep in touch with Pan Ganchen and Ren Hengwen, and seek opportunities to provide intelligence and assist the military operations of the expeditionary force." ”

Zhou Chengbin took the telegram, asked some questions while reading it, and when he figured out the ins and outs of the matter, he nodded and said: "Mr. Mao's order is the best plan, and you are indeed the best candidate for the action team leader." ”

Liu Zezhi replied with a smile: "You are right, in fact, even if Mr. Mao's plan is problematic, you and I have no right to disobey." ”

"You, there are always many criticisms of Mr. Mao, and Guo ...... Speaking of which, you used to be the person next to Mr. Mao, and Mr. Mao has always looked at you differently. ”

Seeing that Zhou Chengbin thought of Guo Xuan again, Liu Ze's heart was also painful and sighed. Zhou Chengbin hurriedly opened the topic: "What we have to do now is to try to meet Ren Hengwen face-to-face, Zezhi, what can you do?" ”
