Li Zihan pondered his words for a moment and said, "Boss, I don't know anything else, I only know that Commander Xu hasn't joined the Communist Party yet." ”

"Xu Shijiu did not join the Communist Party, so what about Gao Shenxing, who was very trusted by him? Did Gao Shenxing join the Communist Party? Gu Zhutong's expression suddenly became cold, and he continued to ask, "Also, how did I hear that Xu Nineteen asked the Communist Party for a lot of party members, and he wanted to install political workers in the brigades, regiments, battalions, and even companies under the nineteenth detachment?" Zihan, tell me the truth, is there such a thing? ”

"Back to the main seat, there is such a thing." Li Zihan could only agree with his head, Xu Shijiu couldn't hide it from others from the Communist Party, how could Gu Zhutong, as the commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone, not know about it?

Gu Zhutong said: "Before I left for Longkou County, I thought that Xu Shijiu might have gone far on the road to the Communist Party, but I still didn't expect that he had gone so far, and then I wanted him to change his mind, be loyal to the party-state, and be loyal to Chairman Jiang, I'm afraid it would be wishful thinking." ”

After a pause, Gu Zhutong continued with pity: "This means that we can't have any illusions about him anymore."

"Soza, what do you mean?" Li Zihan changed color slightly.

"I mean, Xu Nineteen can't stay any longer, and must be executed in secret." Gu Zhutong said in a deep voice, "There are also a large number of high-ranking officers who are loyal to Xu Shijiu or inclined to the Communist Party, such as Gao Shenxing, Li Shuanggun, Niu Sigen, etc., and they must also be executed, and you will be responsible, Zihan, don't let me down again." ”

"General seat, this ......" Li Zihan's face changed greatly, and he lost his voice, "Xu Nineteen has a very high prestige in the eyes of all the officers and soldiers of the Nineteenth Detachment, once he has a good one, it is very likely to cause a mutiny of the entire Nineteenth Detachment, and even the Nineteenth Detachment once again defects to Little Japan, it is not impossible, you have to think twice, you have to think twice before you do."

"Zihan, as the old saying goes, when you are constantly interrupted, you will suffer from it" Gu Zhu said, "Xu Shijiu has a very high prestige among the officers and soldiers of the Nineteenth Detachment, and your Li Zihan's prestige is not bad, Zihan, you must not be presumptuous, I am very optimistic about you." ”

Li Zihan said abruptly: "Boss, can you let me think about this matter first?" ”

Gu Zhutong nodded and said, "Zihan, you have to hurry, I won't stay in Longkou for too long." ”

"Humble resignation first." Li Zihan didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he quickly got up and said goodbye and left.

Seeing Li Zihan's figure leave, Gu Zhutong called the adjutant again and instructed him to find Wei Guoqiang, the captain of the military commander Biedong team.

Gu Zhutong originally planned to fight Ye Ruxue, the head of the military command station stationed in Longkou, but considering that Ye Ruxue originally knew Xu Shijiu, and it was rumored that the two had a personal relationship, Gu Zhutong didn't trust Ye Ruxue very much, and was more willing to find Wei Guoqiang to achieve his goal.

(Dividing Line)

Late that night, a top-secret telegram was delivered by Mao Renfeng to Dai Li's desk.

After reading the telegram, Dai Li frowned and didn't speak for a long time, he weighed it in his heart.

The telegram was sent by Wei Guoqiang, the captain of the Longkou Biedong team, and it was also sent behind Ye Ruxue's back, and the reason why he wanted to carry Ye Ruxue was because it involved a large amount of evidence of Xu Shijiu's communication with the Communist Party, some of which were already in Chongqing's possession, and more of them were heard for the first time, such as Gao Shenxing had secretly joined the Communist Party, and Xu Shijiu had made no secret of his alienation from the Nationalist Government.

"Qi Wu, can you evaluate it, if you take drastic measures against Xu Shijiu, how sure are you of success?" After being silent for a long time, Dai Li finally made up his mind, as the old saying goes, when the interruption continues, it will be chaotic, if Xu Shijiu is destined to return to the camp of the national government, if Xu Shijiu is destined to fall to the Communist Party, then it will be a wise choice to solve it as soon as possible.

Mao Renfeng muttered: "If you only rely on Wei Guoqiang's biedong team, the possibility of success is not 10%, but at present, Gu Zhutong, the commander-in-chief of the Third Theater of Operations, is in Longkou County, in order to protect Gu Zhutong's personal safety, the commander-in-chief of the First Group Army transferred a reinforced battalion from Yi County, plus Gu Zhutong's personal guard, the three forces combined, the certainty of success is still extremely high." ”

Dai Li nodded, and said, "Then you evaluate it again, if Xu Shijiu is executed, what kind of situation will happen to Longkou?" The most important thing is whether the 19th branch of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui is likely to mutiny? Even, once again defected and surrendered to Little Japan. ”

Mao Renfeng frowned and said: "Bureau, this is not a good judgment, but I think that if we can do a clean job of our hands and feet, execute Gao Shenxing, Li Shuanggun and Niu Sigen a group of senior officers who are loyal to Xu Jiu or inclined to the Communist Party, and then use Li Zihan's prestige to control the situation of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui and Longkou County, it should still be possible." ”

"Okay, I know about it." Dai Li stood up as he spoke, preparing to leave for Chairman Chiang's residence

Secretly executing Xu 19, this is a matter that affects the whole body, no matter what, Xu 19 is now a big member, and the military commander executed Xu 19 without asking for instructions, if nothing happens, then it's fine, but once something happens to Zuihou, even if he Dai Li is a close confidant of Chairman Jiang, I'm afraid that he will have to go around without food.

Dai Li drove to Chairman Chiang's residence, but Chairman Chiang was not there.

As soon as Dai Li inquired, he learned that Chairman Jiang had gone to the Yang Mansion to attend a drinking party.

After the Nationalist Government moved to Chongqing, a large number of government officials, celebrities, wealthy businessmen, and high-ranking officers of the Military Commission also moved to Chongqing.

The arrival of these government officials, celebrities, and wealthy businessmen has greatly stimulated the local consumption level in Chongqing, especially these government officials, celebrities, and wealthy businessmen are very fond of pomp and circumstance.

Chairman Chiang was born in the military, and his usual habits are quite self-disciplined, but he must attend today's cocktail party.

Because the United States sent an inspection delegation to specifically inspect China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and see whether the US Government's economic assistance had been effectively utilized, the head of this American delegation was also an old acquaintance of Chairman Chiang, and he was Stilwell, a former military attache in China who had just been promoted from colonel to major general.

As a pragmatic American, Stilwell has always opposed extravagance and waste, so he was extremely angry that the Nationalist Government had spent a huge amount of money to hold such a welcome reception for him, because by saving these funds, he could buy a large amount of weapons and equipment.

This amount of money can be used to buy a large number of medicines, which can save thousands of veterans

Chairman Chiang wanted to pat Stilwell's ass, but he ended up slapping the horse's leg, and his face was a little embarrassed.

Dai Li came over at this time, and Chairman Jiang vented his resentment on Dai Li's head: "Yunong, what's the matter?" ”

Dai Li looked at Stilwell, and stopped talking, it was not a glorious thing to secretly execute Xu Shijiu, so it was better not to let outsiders know.

It just so happened that Chairman Jiang was angry, and he asked very unhappily at the moment: "What is the matter?" Nong Fastport. ”

Because he was really unhappy in his heart, Chairman Jiang even came out with slang.

Dai Li couldn't help it, so he said stubbornly: "Commission, it's about Xu Shijiu." ”

"Xu Nineteen?" Before Chairman Chiang could react, Stilwell was already shouting in stiff Chinese.

Stilwell's memory is very good, and he still remembers the scene of the 19th Brigade of the Shanghai Police Corps attacking the Japanese army at the North Railway Station four years ago on the Bund in Shanghai, and he was extremely impressed by the strategy of the 19th Brigade to erect ladders on the roof, and thought that the commander of the 19th Brigade was a genius tactician.

Because in the first stage of the Battle of Songhu, Xu Shijiu's performance was amazing, and the name Xu Shijiu was really unique, so Stilwell has always remembered it and has not forgotten it to this day.

"Why, Stilwell chose to know Xu Nineteen?" Chairman Jiang asked with a gloomy face.

"I don't know." Stilwell shook his head and continued in English, "But I know that in the first stage of the Battle of Songhu, Xu Nineteen's Nineteenth Brigade had a very impressive performance, but unfortunately, because the support troops could not keep up, they failed to achieve decent results in the end. ”
