Chapter IV: Municipal Government Espionage Case
There are thousands of people in nine carriages, standing on the platform in the dark. Hu Fei shouted to the passengers with a loudspeaker: "Fathers and fellow villagers, let everyone be wronged. The military order is urgent, I want to take my brothers to the battlefield to fight Japan, there is something offended, please forgive me! After the train leaves, you can go to the stationmaster of this station, and the stationmaster will arrange for you to take the next train for free! β
After speaking, Hu Fei saluted and was about to get into the car with his entourage, when someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Wait!" Please stay! β
Hu Fei was stunned for a moment, turned around to look, and saw two people coming out of the crowd. The one in front of him was wearing a black woolen tunic, a black narrow-brimmed top hat in his hand, and leather shoes on his feet, and he seemed to be a person of status. The one next to him was obviously a bodyguard or attendant, half a step behind this one, looking shrewd and capable, with eyes full of vigilance.
People are here to find themselves. Hu Fei stood there, waiting for this person to come over. He could assure that he had never met this man.
This person walked up to Hu Fei and hugged his fists, first introduced himself: "The contemptible person is Zheng Ke, the municipal councilor of Zhengzhou City. What is the name of this chief? What kind of unit is your unit? β
It turns out that this is really an official, a senator of the city government, and the official is not small!
"I am Hu Fei, captain of the Independent Cavalry Brigade of the 27th Army of the National Revolutionary Army. The military affairs are urgent, and Hu is really sorry for delaying Senator Zheng's trip. Senator Zheng If he is really in a hurry, he can go to the stationmaster of Xuedian and make up a ticket to take the next train. β
Originally, Senator Zheng came forward to find Hu Fei, which meant that he wanted to get to know each other, and let Hu Fei take him on the train. There are only two people on his side, and the other party is the commander of the army, so what is it to piggyback on two people in a casual sentence? How did he know that Hu Fei gave him such an answer, Senator Zheng's face immediately changed!
Others don't know, but he does. What is the situation at Xuedian Railway Station, Senator Zheng is the same in his heart! This small station doesn't sell train tickets at all, and the buses don't stop here, so how can you ask him to make up the ticket and take the next train?
"Hehe, Captain Hu turned out to be under the command of Commander Gui. I heard that Commander Gui has moved west, why is Captain Hu still here? β
Hu Fei didn't expect that this Senator Zheng had his hands and eyes all over the sky, and he actually knew that Gui Yongqing's 27th Army was going west! Commander Gui has gone to Luoyang, why are you here? Zheng Ke had a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, which looked like a mockery.
Good boy, you dare to laugh at me? Hu Fei's fire is up! Catch this guy and kill him, or beat him up? Obviously not suitable. People just beat and kill after saying a few words, so it seems that his Captain Hu is too narrow, right?
"This is a military secret, and it is normal for Senator Zheng not to know about it. Eh, I'm curious, how does Senator Zheng know so much about the whereabouts of our army? These are all top-secret military intelligence, and Senator Zheng knows it well! Hehe, hehe. β
"What top-secret information? Who doesn't know in the Zhengzhou Municipal Government? "Senator Zheng is really in a hurry this time! Military intelligence, still top secret? In the years of war, as long as this kind of thing is involved, once you catch it, you have to peel off your skin! If this Captain Hu really caught himself on the train and tortured him, he would really become a Japanese spy!
Senator Zheng's face changed sharply, and he took several steps back with his feet in a row, "Captain Hu, please don't be joking!" The news that Zheng knows is public news in the entire Zhengzhou Municipal Government, and everyone knows it! This has absolutely nothing to do with Zheng! β
"Everybody knows? Hehe, that's weird. When I received the order a few days ago, Shangfeng also specifically explained that this was a top-secret military order, how did it become a public news that everyone knew when it arrived at the Zhengzhou Municipal Government? It seems that I will immediately report today's situation to Commander Gui. It is no wonder that our army's Lanfeng operation was unfavorable, and Commander Gui could not find the reason, it turned out that the root cause of the matter was on the side of the Zhengzhou Municipal Government. Thank you Senator Zheng for that! β
After speaking, Hu Fei glanced at Senator Zheng meaningfully, saluted in a proper manner, and took Yuan Fang to board the train.
Senator Zheng stayed there at that time and couldn't move, and his heart fell straight down!
Everyone knows that the defeat in the Battle of Lanfeng was caused by the escape of Long Muhan of the 88th Division guarding Lanfeng. Long Muhan has been shot by the chairman! At that time, the 88th Division was under the command of Gui Yongqing, so Gui Yongqing was directly responsible for the defeat in this battle!
As a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven and the most important student of the chairman, Gui Yongqing is naturally unwilling to bear this notoriety. Even if the chairman spared him, he would have to find an excuse himself. If Hu Fei reports what he just said to Gui Yongqing, then Commander Gui might as well get the treasure! When the time comes, the responsibility for the defeat in the battle will be pushed to the Zhengzhou Municipal Government, and I will ask the chairman whether he will believe Gui Yongqing or the Zhengzhou Municipal Government?
Zheng Ke didn't expect the responsibility for the matter to be put on his head. He sounds good as a city councilor, but if he is put at the top, he is nothing, and Gui Yongqing or the chairman of the committee will not take him seriously at all. However, if the chairman suspects that there is a spy in the city government, he, the city councilor, will definitely not be finished under the nest! Thinking of this, Senator Zheng's cold sweat soaked his shirt.
"Senate, Senate. What are we going to do? β
The attendant next to him whispered twice, and Senator Zheng came back to his senses.
What to do? Walk! Leave Xuedian Railway Station immediately, hire a carriage to rush to the next station, and take the train directly to Hankou! When we get to the south, we won't come back, regardless of whether what Hu Fei said is true or not, the water here is too deep, we can't afford to wade!
Senator Zheng and his entourage didn't go to the stationmaster, they knew that it was useless to find the stationmaster. The two of them got out of the train station, hired a donkey cart in the local area, and went south without stopping for a minute!
Hu Fei estimated that his words could scare Senator Zheng, and besides, he didn't plan to do anything to Senators. Therefore, I saw Senator Zheng and the others leaving, and I didn't send anyone to chase them.
Regarding the situation on the Zhengzhou Municipal Government, Hu Fei asked Xu Yajun to send a telegram to Commander Gui who was far away in Luoyang to report. In case the Zhengzhou Municipal Government really has a secret secret, it is better to dig it out as soon as possible.
The transfer of troops in the Battle of Lanfeng is not a secret to them, do you know if there are any Japanese spies in it? This time it was the defeat of the Battle of Lanfeng, who knows if it will be the Battle of Wuhan and the Battle of Changsha next time?
All the officers and soldiers boarded the car, and all the horses and baggage were loaded into the carriage, Hu Fei asked the driver to inform the driver, drive! The train is going all the way south to Xinyang!
"Woo-" With a long whistle, the train started slowly. The passengers on the platform, and the stationmaster who came out of the stationmaster's room, watched as the train slowly accelerated, faster and faster, until there was no longer a shadow to be seen.
