The prestige and strict discipline of the New Second Army actually allowed the Japanese devils to blend in so easily, which made the top brass of the New Second Army ashamed and shameless.

At 7 o'clock the next morning, Wu Ming went to the Taohuayuan Hotel in Maoliangwu Town to make a review of Chairman Chiang, who had just woken up, and Chiang Kai-shek met him in the hotel's small conference room. Chiang Kai-shek, after all, was the supreme leader of the party-state, and no matter what, he had to maintain his bearing as a big boss, and immediately said a few words of warm comfort, saying that the New Second Army must draw lessons and lessons from the pervasive infiltration of the Japanese and not allow the incident to happen again.

During the conversation, Chiang Kai-shek's guard adjutant Jiang Guotao entered the house to inform the head of the secret service Dai Li's visit, Wu Ming was very surprised when he heard it, and was about to avoid it, but was stopped by Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek said kindly: "Dai Yunong's coming here should be related to the Japanese army that infiltrated western Zhejiang. Wu Ming, you stay and listen to what the secret service has discovered! ”

"That's good!"

Wu Ming agreed, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart.

Chiang Kai-shek came to Mao Liangwu, but Dai Li, who was his important minion, never showed up, and suddenly appeared at this time, which was really a bit unexpected. Dai Li, who is proficient in the art of scheming, and his ability to obtain information is extremely good, which makes Wu Ming feel that there is a poisonous snake peeping at him at any time, and he is uncomfortable all over his body.

"Wu Ming, since the July 7 Incident, all the frontal battlefields have lost troops and lost generals, North China and Central China have been defeated for thousands of miles, the north and south of the river have been full of wolf smoke, and the number of traitors and traitors is not very numerous...... The more critical the situation, the more vigilant we must be! ”

Chiang Kai-shek said: "Through this incident, it has been proved that intelligence work has become the main point of the current work of the central and local governments, the government and the army, and in order to prevent the activities of Japanese spies and traitors, improve work efficiency, and enhance the strength of the war of resistance, I plan to reorganize the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission......

Among them, on the basis of the first department, the Survey and Statistics Bureau of the Central Executive Committee was established under the Secretariat of the Central Party Department; The second department was expanded to the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission, which was subordinate to the General Office of the Military Commission, and at the same time, a special inspection department was set up to be responsible for post and telecommunications inspections. ”

Wu Ming looked at Chiang Kai-shek with some suspicion, and then lowered his head.

On the issue of setting up the two major spy organizations of "Central Unification" and "Military Unification," Chiang Kai-shek did not need to seek the opinion of Wu Ming, the commander of the army, but he actually put it forward in person, and it contained a lot of information, and Wu Ming couldn't figure it out for a while, so he had to say indiscriminately: "The chairman of the committee is far-sighted, and now that the country is in crisis, if he cannot establish an effective counter-espionage agency, it will really be detrimental to the overall situation of the War of Resistance!" The commission made such a decision, and the subordinates were convinced! ”

"Headmaster!"

Dai Li, who strode in from the door of the small conference room, came to the two people sitting opposite him and bowed respectfully to Chiang Kai-shek.

"Yu Nong, you came just in time, what did your secret service investigate?" Chiang Kai-shek glanced at Wu Ming casually and asked quietly.

"Since receiving the information from the New Second Army, I immediately sent people to investigate, and from the analysis of various clues, there are about more than 1,000 devil soldiers who have mixed into western Zhejiang, and they came by boat from Hangzhou and are on the shore of Jiande, which is outside the defense area of the New Second Army, so the New Second Army did not notice it."

"These Japanese soldiers sneaked west from Jiande into the Qianligang Mountains in batches, avoiding most of the villages on the way, and the last time they appeared west of Shangshang Town, and the situation has not been clear since then!" Speaking of this, Dai Li turned to Wu Ming and said politely: "Commander Wu, to ensure the absolute safety of the chairman during his stay in Quzhou, we must completely annihilate this Japanese army, and I think I have to ask Commander Wu to transfer troops and send generals." ”

"Naturally, I am duty-bound!"

Wu Ming stood up and shook hands with Dai Li politely, but the vigilance in his heart was even greater.

From yesterday afternoon to now, in less than 20 hours, Dai Li's understanding of the whereabouts of the Japanese army has been so clear, which fully proves Dai Li's ability, but this is not a good thing for Wu Ming and the New Second Army, who have always controlled the overall situation in western Zhejiang.

However, with the cooperation of Dai Li's secret service and the New Second Army, this group of daring devils basically has no possibility of escaping. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek put this matter aside for the time being and asked Dai Li: "Yunong, how is Han Fuyu now?" ”

"Han Fuyu has been operating in Shandong for many years, and I am afraid that there will be rescue by my comrades, so I have now transferred him to Hankou......" Dai Li glanced at Wu Ming, and then said: "As long as the principal approves, we will execute Han Fuyu in the name of disobeying the military order and retreating without authorization!" ”

Wu Ming felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing, and got up to say goodbye to Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Li: "Chairman of the Committee, I want to go back and deploy to arrest those devils hidden in the mountains around Maoliangwu, so I can only leave first!" ”

"Well, you go get busy!" Chiang Kai-shek commanded expressionlessly.

When Wu Ming walked out of the room, Chiang Kai-shek stood up slowly, came to the window, watched Wu Ming get into the car and drove away, and said with feeling: "Yunong, Wu Ming is a hero of the party-state, but it is such a hero who does not enter the oil and salt that makes people have a headache!" ”

Dai Li knew what to say, what to say, and pretended to be confused, so he stood solemnly and didn't say a word.

"Wu Ming can be said to cover the sky with one hand in Quzhou, and at the same time maintain a huge influence on the surrounding provinces of Anhui, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian and other provinces.

Speaking of this, Chiang Kai-shek's eyes narrowed into a slit, and a cold light loomed.

"The headmaster is smart!"

Dai Li praised with admiration.

Chiang Kai-shek used Han Fuyu's head to scare those traitors and capitulation factions who defected to the Japanese devils, and even had the intention of beating Wu Ming, an arrogant soldier who was capable and disobedient to discipline.

An hour later, Wu Ming came to the military headquarters of the New Second Army, and Zhang Ying pulled him to a map that had just been hung up not long ago, and reported on the situation of the Japanese army:

"Junzuo, look here, Xiyuan Mountain Village is located north of Xitai Mountain, and after encircling Wu Zhe's family and the whole village, the Japanese army moved here...... Now that the information has been completely clarified, the devils have slaughtered the villagers and stuffed their bodies into the cave at the tip of the silver cave to the east. ”

"A small group of Japanese soldiers disguised themselves as villagers and lived in, while the rest hid in the mountains behind the village. According to Wu Zhe, there were about eight or nine hundred Japanese troops, and the equipment was relatively average......"

"Xiyuan Mountain Village? It's almost close to Stage Hill, which is our newly developed urban area...... Mother Xipi, the Japanese devil dares to make trouble under our noses, it's really impatient! Wu Ming asked angrily: "Did the Japanese army notice it?" We must not let these little devils leave alive! ”

"The news has not been leaked, and there is no movement from the Japanese army!" Zhang Ying pointed to the map and reported the progress of each department: "Military seat, now Lu Kuiyuan has personally led three spy companies to touch the surroundings of Xiyuan Mountain Village, and the two regiments of the New Second Division have also quickly outflanked this village, but this area is full of mountains and dense forests, and it is not easy to annihilate them all!" ”

"You told Luo Yuming that our new Second Army had just been awarded the Flying Tiger Banner by the Military Commission, and the ugly incident of ghosts infiltrating our troops was exposed on the front and back feet, which is really a great shame." Wu Ming gritted his teeth and ordered: "Order Luo to crook his mouth, he must wipe out this Japanese army cleanly and neatly, otherwise the military law will be engaged in ......"

Zhang Ying quickly wrote down Wu Ming's order and was about to leave, when Chen Xizeng, the leader of the first group in the chairman's chamberlain, came to inform him that Chairman Chiang had received an urgent telegram from the Fifth Theater Command that the war in Xuzhou had undergone new changes, and Chiang Kai-shek planned to go to Quzhou immediately and return to Wuhan by plane.

Wu Ming briefly explained a few words to Zhang Ying, and was ready to join Chiang Kai-shek and his party to protect Chiang Kai-shek to Quzhou Airport, but was stopped by Zhang Ying.

"Military seat, the news came from Section Chief Ye of the Intelligence Section, Wu Zhe suddenly remembered that there were four young soldiers in the Independent Regiment who had not returned to the army for a short time, Ye Zhuhan asked me to remind you, if these young people are hot-headed and make irrational moves, it will be a big trouble!"

Wu Ming waved his hand and said with a smile: "At most, it's just a group of headless recruits like flies, where is there any plan, don't worry!" Okay, I'm going to see off Chairman Chiang, Luo Yuming is solely responsible for encircling and annihilating the Japanese army, and your operations section must also supervise and cooperate more...... I'm leaving! ”

Wu Ming explained and left in a hurry.

North of the Changshan River in Quzhou, in a dense forest next to the Qumao Highway at the northern foot of Laohu Mountain, He Sanbao and others were ambushed in a pile of thatch.

He Sanbao picked up the binoculars and checked the movement at the end of the road and on both sides.

After being instigated by Wu Zhe, He Sanbao and others were carried away by their enthusiasm, and regardless of the actual situation, they immediately established a goal, that is, they must kill Chiang Kai-shek, so that their ideal leader, Wu Ming, can take the throne and command the whole army to expel the Japanese from China.

A soldier bit his lip and gently pulled He Sanbao's cuffs: "Third brother, are you sure that Chiang Kai-shek will definitely take this road when he returns to Quzhou?" ”

"Qumao Highway is the road with the neatest road surface and the shortest mileage leading to Quzhou Airport, unless Chiang Kai-shek is willing to take a boat, we will definitely have a harvest by waiting for the rabbit." He Sanbao persuaded with demagogic words: "Da Nianzi, now is the time to compete for patience, we must persevere, just like the military seat, once we identify the goal, we will insist that Qingshan will not relax, and will not sleep for several days and nights...... We're learning from the military seat now, you know? ”

"But we haven't eaten all day and night!" There was a lot of dew on the immature face of the eldest man, and he puffed out his mouth and said, "Third brother, my stomach is so hungry that I growl!" ”

"Third brother, I'm hungry too, and I don't ......have any strength at all," the other two recruits said with their mouths pursed.

"We are now a member of the glorious New Second Army, you only need to think about the military seat ascending to the position of supreme leader, leading us to drive the Japanese devils out of their homeland, and every Chinese will live a good life, and you will not feel hungry and tired!" He Sanbao said with a holy face: "The people of the whole country will be grateful to us, and we will become heroes." At that time, the hardships we have endured and the tears we shed will have value, and we will live for a hundred years......"

Although the Spiritual Victory Method could not fundamentally solve the problem of hunger among the four, it allowed several recruits to strengthen their will to fight and endurance.

"Third brother, there's a troop coming over there!" A recruit said, sharp-eyed, pointing to the opposite mountain.

He Sanbao turned his head to look and saw a team of more than 200 people pouring out of the mountain, they hunched their waists and rushed towards the dense forest halfway up the mountain......
