Yunling, Jing County, the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army.

Liu Changxing rushed into Xiang Ying's office and said, "Chief, the Ministry of Security has just received a telegram from Jiangbei, and Xu Nineteen has betrayed."

"What, Xu Nineteen Apostasy?" Xiang Ying was greatly surprised when he heard this, and immediately took the telegram from Liu Chang's hand, only to see that the telegram was clearly written on the paper, Xu Shijiu had indeed defected to the enemy, and the telegram was not sent by the Northern Bureau, the Northern Bureau only forwarded Yan'an's telegram, and Yan'an was forwarded by the Kuomintang Military Command Bureau, in addition, this news was also confirmed by the underground party lurking in Shanghai.

"How so, shouldn't, shouldn't be?" Xiang Ying's brows suddenly twisted into a big pimple

Liu Chang said: "Chief, there is nothing that should not be done, the situation of the struggle between us and the enemy at this stage is extremely complicated, and anything can happen. ”

"Well, Xiao Liu, what you said is also reasonable, the Sino-Japanese struggle is a life-and-death struggle, in order to win, both sides are unscrupulous, so many things cannot be measured according to common sense." In front of Liu Chang, the backbone of the security department, Xiang Ying did not shy away from the complexity of the anti-espionage and anti-special struggle, in fact, in the real secret battlefield, double-sided and multi-faceted spies abound.

Therefore, Xu Shijiu's apostasy may be both false and wronged, or it may be true apostasy.

However, in either case, now is the best time to eradicate Xu Nineteen and control the Nineteenth Detachment

Politics has always been unscrupulous, and if you really think that communists are saints, then you are wrong

"In this way, Xiao Liu, you immediately take a working group to Qingyang County overnight, and then enter Longkou from Qingyang, and cooperate with the military commander to eradicate Xu Shijiu." After speaking, Xiang Ying specially told Liu Changdao, "Xiao Liu, you remember, your main task in going to Longkou this time is to control the remnants of the 19th detachment, as far as I know, among the main officers of the 19th detachment, Gao Shenxing is inclined to our party, but Li Zihan is a diehard member of the Kuomintang, when necessary...

Xiang Ying didn't say anything further, but Liu Chang already knew it from his eyes, and nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, chief, I know how to do it." ”

"Okay, then you can go quickly." Xiang Ying waved his hand and said, "I'm waiting for your good news." ”

Liu Chang snapped his chest and stood upright, and said loudly: "Take care, chief." ”

(Dividing Line)

Yanjia Town, the headquarters of the 14th Brigade of the Small Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade.

Haneda smiled and handed a small note to Fujido Takaei and said, "Your Excellency the General, look at this

"The Kuomintang and the Communist Party want to join forces to eradicate Xu 19?" After reading the small note, Fujido Gaoying immediately showed a smug smile on his face, stretched out his finger and flicked the small note, and said, "Haneda-san, what do you think Xu Sang will do when he knows the news?" ”

"I don't know how Xu Nineteen will feel." Haneda shook his head and said, "I only know that Xu Shijiu has now established his reputation as a traitor, and I'm afraid it's impossible to turn back. ”

While speaking, the adjutant Ogasawara had already walked in with Xu Shijiu, and Fujido Takaei's translator also walked in.

"Xu Sang, please be seated." Fujitang Gaoying smiled and invited Xu Shijiu to take a seat.

Xu 19 was not polite, and walked straight over to sit directly opposite Fujido Gaoying, which was Haneda's seat just now, and now let Xu 19 give him a seat, Haneda can only sit sideways.

Fujitang Gaoying didn't care either, and said with a smile: "Xu Sang, I have two pieces of news here, one good news and one bad news, I don't know if you listen to the good news first, or listen to the bad news first?" ”

Xu Shijiu said: "You and I are both soldiers, and we all live a life where there is no tomorrow today, so let's listen to the good news first." ”

"Yo Si." Fujido Gao Ying nodded happily and said, "The good news is that Haneda has persuaded Yan Sang to agree that you will be the deputy commander of the Southern Anhui Garrison Division of the Imperial Allied Army and the brigade commander of the Independent Brigade, and your old subordinate Wang Fusheng and his Independent Regiment will return to your command, as well as the wounded captured by the Imperial Army, as long as you can convince them, they will also be incorporated into your Third Brigade after they recover from their injuries." ”

"Fujido Takaei, are you mistaken?" Xu Shijiu looked at Fujitang Gao Ying coldly and said, "I promised you, and now I have also reported to leave the national army, but I have never promised to join the puppet army as a deputy division commander." ”

"Xu Sang, you don't want to?" Fujitang Gaoying waved his hand and smiled, "No, no, no, when you finish reading this, I think you will agree." ”

After speaking, Fujido Gaoying handed the small note that Haneda handed him just now to Xu Nineteen, and Xu Nineteen took it indifferently, but after reading it, his face immediately changed.

"Xu Sang, you should know by now that if you break away from the protection of the imperial army, neither the Communist Party nor the Kuomintang will let you go." Fujido Gao Ying smiled, "If I were you, I would definitely agree to join the Imperial Army." ”

Xu Jiu gritted his teeth and suddenly said, "Okay, I can promise you, but I have one condition." ”

Xu Shijiu's happiness surprised Fujido Gaoying, and he exchanged glances with Haneda at the moment and asked, "What conditions do you have?" ”

Xu 19 said: "I promised you to join the garrison division, but I shouldn't be the deputy division commander, if I want to be, I have to let Lao Tzu be the division commander."

"Yaga." Haneda Huoran stood up and said angrily, "You think this is a vegetable market, you can bargain casually?" Before you speak, you'd better find out your identity, you are no longer the commander of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui, if you anger the imperial army, you won't get anything, not even your life, do you understand? ”

"Then there is no need to say anything." Xu Shijiu flicked his sleeves, dusted off a few grains of dust, and said indifferently, "What should you do, what else should you do." ”

"Yagayalu." Haneda couldn't bear it, and he was about to have a seizure at that time, but he asked Fujido Takaei to stop it.

Fujitang Gaoying motioned to Haneda, who had already taken out the Wang Ba box, to retreat with a look in his eyes, and then stood up and said: "Xu Sang, your request is very excessive, yes, you used to be the commander of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, but this has nothing to do with the imperial army, so logically speaking, if you want to replace Yan Sang as the division commander of the Imperial Cooperative Army, it is absolutely impossible." ”

"But what?" Xu Nineteen said, "Please say but." ”

"Yo Xi, Xu Sang, you are also a smart person, then I will say it directly." Fujitang Gao Ying said, "If you want to be the commander of the Southern Anhui Garrison Division of the Imperial Army, it is not impossible, but there must be a premise, that is, you have to recruit the remnants of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Erlong Mountain, as long as you can recruit all your old subordinates to serve the Imperial Army, I will let you be the division commander." ”

Xu Shijiu looked at Fujitang Gaoying fixedly and asked, "Fujitang Gaoying, you said that you can count?" ”

"Of course it counts." Fujido Takaei looked back at Haneda, and said, "If Xu Sang is worried that after I leave Longkou, Haneda-san and you will have unpleasant trouble, it is really unnecessary, because even if I leave Longkou, I will not leave Jiujiang for the time being, if Haneda-san treats you unfairly, you can go to Jiujiang to find me, I can make decisions for you." ”

"Okay." Xu Shijiu said, "I can try, but I can't guarantee that I will succeed." ”

Fujido Gaoying smiled and said, "I believe in Xu Sang's ability and influence, you will definitely succeed."

Xu Jiu stood up and said, "Then, if the two of you don't have anything else to do, then I will be out of company."

"Xu Sang, please do it." Fujido Gaoying smiled solemnly, and instructed the adjutant Ogasawara, "Ogasawara-san, you must arrange Xu Sang's daily life, and Xu Sang, he is completely free, where he wants to go, what he wants, you are not allowed to send someone to follow, let alone get involved." ”

"Hello." Ogasawara bowed heavily and followed Xu 19 out of the door.
