Li Zihan had a gloomy face and kept pacing back and forth at the head of the city.

From time to time, Li Zihan turned his head to look outside the city, only to see that the open space specially set aside outside the city was already crowded with Longkou Township Party members who had rushed from ten miles and eight townships, and this afternoon, the 19th Detachment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui will hold a big military parade outside the east gate, and all these township parties went out early in the morning and rushed to the county seat to see the excitement.

The heavenly government is also considered beautiful, and the dense clouds make it difficult for the little Japanese planes to move.

Otherwise, I was really worried that just halfway through the military parade, the bombers of Little Japan rushed to join in the fun.

Amid the heavy footsteps, a group of 19 officers and men of the 19th detachment of fully armed troops drove along the east-west street, and after arriving at the city gate, they quickly guarded the inside and outside of the city gate, and some of them ran up to the city head, javelin-like along the city wall to both sides, these officers and soldiers were all responsible for security.

After all, there was also the commander-in-chief of the Third Theater who participated in this military parade.

Thinking of Gu Zhutong, a trace of gloom instantly appeared in Li Zihan's eyes.

Li Zihan fell into a fierce struggle, on one side was the order and expectations of the commander-in-chief of the theater of operations, but on the other side, there were brothers who had lived and died with him, if he chose to obey the orders of the commander's department, then he must kill these good brothers, but if he disobeyed the orders of the commander's department, it also meant that he betrayed the party-state, and even more betrayed Chairman Chiang.

Li Zihan usually doesn't smoke, but this time, he smokes one after another.

When Zhao Dahai hurried over, he saw that the ground of the city tower at Li Zihan's feet was already full of cigarette butts.

"Tuanza, ...... are you" Just looking at Li Zihan's expression, he knew that he must be extremely tormented in his heart, Zhao Dahai asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Zihan threw the cigarette butt that was only half smoked on the city tower, and stomped it out with his foot, then turned his head and asked Zhao Dahai: "Zhao Dahai, if I ask you a question, you have to answer me truthfully, and there must be no deception."

Seeing that Li Zihan was so serious and called him by his name for the first time, Zhao Dahai stepped forward, stood upright, and responded: "Yes"

Li Zihan looked at Zhao Dahai deeply and asked, "If, I mean, Commander-in-Chief Gu orders you to kill me, will you do it?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Dahai was shocked when he heard this, he never thought that Li Zihan would ask this, and he couldn't answer it at the moment.

"You answer me honestly." Li Zihan looked at Zhao Dahai very seriously, and continued in the same serious tone, "Don't say things against your will." ”

Zhao Dahai straightened his chest and said loudly: "No"

“weishenme？” Li Zihan asked, "If you don't do it, then you are violating Commander-in-Chief Gu's military orders, that is betraying the party-state, and that is betraying Chairman Jiang, you should know what this means." ”

"I know." Zhao Dahai replied, "But I still won't do it." ”

“weishenme？” Li Zihan repeated Gang's question again, "Reason? ”

"Because you are not only my chief, but also my brother." Zhao Dahai looked directly at Li Zihan and said, "I will never be able to aim the muzzle of the gun at the good brother who is willing to block bullets for me on the battlefield."

What Zhao Dahai said is true, Li Zihan did block bullets for him on the battlefield.

Li Zihan still couldn't convince himself, and asked again: "But, what if Commander-in-Chief Gu has to force you to do it?" ”

Zhao Dahai replied without hesitation: "If Commander-in-Chief Gu's order is a disorderly order, I will refuse to carry out the order. ”

"But if it's not a mess, what are you going to do?" Li Zihan asked again, Commander-in-Chief Gu wanted to kill Xu Shijiu, it didn't seem to be a mess.

"If it weren't for the chaos" Zhao Dahai met Li Zihan's expectant eyes, and a miserable smile suddenly bloomed at the corner of his mouth, "I'll commit suicide." ”

"Suicide?" Li Zihan was stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't expect Zhao Dahai to make such a choice

Seeing Li Zihan stunned there, Zhao Dahai asked with concern, "Tuanzao, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, I'm fine." Li Zihan waved his hand and went down to the city tower with a lonely expression.

On the road leading from Qingyang County to the stronghold of Longxugou, a side three-wheeled vehicle was galloping.

The agent on the driving side of the three-wheeler had already turned the accelerator to the maximum, but Ye Ruxue was still urging him vigorously

"Hurry up, hurry up, Xiao Qi, you should hurry up" Although Ye Ru Snowman was sitting on the side, his heart had already flown back to Longkou County.

After receiving the secret order from Chongqing Luojiawan No. 16, Ye Ruxue was more attentive, she did not go to Chikou on the designated date, but set off a day in advance, however, after Ye Ruxue arrived at Chikou, the people from the Chikou Information Station told her that there was no one from Shanghai, that is, the order given to her by Luojiawan No. 16 was a fake order.

Luojiawan No. 16 actually gave himself a false order, which is absolutely unusual.

Ye Ruxue could easily guess that the reason why Luojiawan No. 16 gave this order was probably just to transfer her away from Longkou.

So, Luojiawan No. 16 is going to transfer her out of Longkou at this time?

Combined with the fact that Gu Zhutong would go to Longkou in the next few days to express his condolences and commend the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui, Ye Ruxue quickly came to the conclusion that the military commander and Gu Zhutong were afraid that they had joined forces and were ready to attack Xu 19, considering that she had a special relationship with Xu 19, so Luojiawan 16 would transfer her away.

Thinking of this, Ye Ruxue didn't hesitate at all, and hurried back.

The reason why Ye Ruxue chose to join the military command in the first place was because she was inspired by the spirit of countless agents of the military commander who sacrificed in secret warfare, so she wanted to become such a soldier, but this does not mean that she will do anything for Luojiawan No. 16 without discipline and without lower limits.

For example, the assassination of an Anti-Japanese War general like Xu Shijiu is something that Ye Ruxue absolutely does not want to see.

"Xiao Qi, hurry up, you hurry up." Ye Ruxue urged again.

"Seated, this is already the fastest." The driver, Xiao Qi, replied with a wry smile.

Another agent sitting in the back seat of the motorcycle reminded: "Seat down, there is the Longxugou stronghold not far ahead, should we break in, or abandon the car and climb over the mountains on both sides of the stronghold?" ”

"Break hard" Ye Ruxue said without hesitation, "Rush over directly"

As he spoke, the road in front of him turned around, and a stronghold appeared in his field of vision.

The Longxugou stronghold was the largest of all the Japanese strongholds in Qingyang County, and a full squad of Japanese troops was stationed.

Seeing Ye Ruxue and the others coming over on the side three wheels, several Japanese sentry posts standing behind the rejection horse immediately unloaded their rifles and aimed their guns at them, and machine guns were also set up in the circular barricade next to the rejection horse, and then, a Japanese soldier Cao Chang walked out of the small board room next to the roadcar, stretched out his hand and signaled Ye Ruxue to slow down the side three wheels and pull over to be checked.

Xiao Qi released the accelerator, and then gently pulled the brake, and the side three wheels began to slow down.

At the same time, Ye Ruxue took out the Browning pistol from the holster and put it at her feet, and another agent sitting on the back of the motorcycle also quietly took out a grenade, and her fingers gently pulled the safety pull ring.

He was going to participate in the military parade this afternoon, and Gu Zhutong specially asked the adjutant to take out his general's dress.

This set of admiral's dress was just issued a year ago, imported from the United States, it is said that the style is also beautiful, olive, Gu Zhutong likes it very much, he is reluctant to wear it after it is sent down, so he occasionally takes it out to appreciate it, however, today, he feels the need to wear this dress, because today is a special day, and his dress should be grand.

While he was dressing, Biedong Captain Wei Guoqiang quietly walked in from outside.

Gu Zhutong asked while sorting out his military uniform, "No one saw it, right?" ”

Wei Guoqiang said: "I came in through the back door, and absolutely no one saw it." ”

"Are you all ready?" Gu Zhutong nodded and asked again.

"It's all ready." Wei Guoqiang said, "Just wait for the parade to start." ”

Gu Zhutong took out his pocket watch to look at the time, and said: "While there is still some time, you can say the whole operation again, and by the way, I will also help you sort out your thoughts and see if there are any mistakes." ”
