The Joint Investigation Team was formed, but the selection of its members became a problem. Huang Ke took the initiative to ask Ying to serve as the head of the joint investigation team, and then some members of the Ministry of Intelligence, the Ministry of the Army, and the Ministry of Staff and Quartermaster Department were sent to coordinate the task of recovering and investigating firearms by the General Police Department and the troops stationed in Henan Province.

Such a tone must come down, and it is not easy for others to say anything more, but Jiang Zhongzheng still has a lot of complaints about taking out Tang Enbo at the meeting, and He Yingqin, who is also from his faction, also asked: "At present, the recovery work is underway, and if Tang Enbo is taken out rashly at this time, it will have an adverse impact on the morale of the army and the overall situation." Besides, Tang Enbo's affairs still need to be verified, and it may not be appropriate to take him down with just a few small things. I suggest that he be investigated and recovered at the same time, which can be regarded as a chance to make amends. ”

After He Yingqin finished speaking, without waiting for others to express their opinions, Huang Ke said categorically: "This will definitely not work!" Tang Enbo first brought it back to Nanjing to investigate, if he really connived at his subordinates to steal grain, I think it would not be an exaggeration to kill. ”

Jiang Zhongzheng and the others didn't expect Huang Ke to be so determined to deal with Tang Enbo, seeing that his attitude was so resolute, it was difficult for others to continue to say anything. He was naturally not satisfied with the investigation of Tang Enbo like this, and he took down an important chess piece of his own for any reason, and no one would let go at this time. However, Huang Ke did not give him a chance, he said that this topic was decided like this first, Tang Enbo was temporarily suspended, and we moved on to some next topics.

The next topic was the establishment of a joint investigation team, and Huang Ke raised a few points, including the need to use new people to form an investigation team to conduct on-the-spot investigations in Henan, and be responsible for the recovery work. He gave everyone a list, in addition to these people in charge on the surface, there was also his secretary Chen Liewen, and the most surprising thing was that there was Jiang Zhongzheng's son Jiang Jingguo.

After reading it, everyone understood, Huang Ke took out a Tang Enbo, Jiang Zhongzheng and his faction naturally would not give up, and at this time, if he lifted his son Jiang Jingguo up, it could be regarded as giving the other party a step down, not to mention that your son was involved in the investigation, if any problems were found, you would not be able to say anything more.

Jiang Zhongzheng and He Yingqin glanced at each other, and agreed when they voted. The list was quickly approved, and everyone noticed that everyone present seemed to ignore Chairman Wang's opinion, but he only had the right to vote in the Military Commission, not the right to vote, so his opinion was ignored and was ignored.

After the Standing Committee ended, Huang Ke called Chen Liewen to the office alone. Chen Liewen didn't expect that he would be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, and he could see that he was a little excited and a little worried at the same time.

Huang Ke pointed to the sofa in front of him and motioned for him to sit down, Chen Liewen added some water to Huang Ke before sitting down.

Huang Ke crossed his legs and leaned back on the sofa, and he asked in an extremely comfortable way: "This time the Military Commission has decided that you will be a member of the investigation team for the robbery of the train in Henan." What do you think? Are there any questions? ”

Chen Liewen thought for a while and said: "I don't have any problems personally, but I'm a little worried, after all, I haven't done this kind of thing, so I want to ask you for guidance on the general policy." ”

Huang Ke didn't answer his question, but said to him: "You go and call Jiang Jingguo, you two are important members of the investigation team, and I have something to explain to you." ”

Although Chen Liewen didn't understand Huang's specific intentions, he still got up and went out to find Chiang Ching-kuo. It is not difficult to find him, Chiang Ching-kuo was also working in the Ministry of Defense during this time, he went directly to the office to ask for a phone, and when Chiang Ching-kuo received the call, he was talking about something with his father. Hearing Chen Liewen say that Huang Ke was looking for him, he covered the microphone and asked his father in a low voice: "It's from the minister's side, and he asked me to go there for a meeting." ”

Jiang Zhongzheng's face twitched slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. He waved his hand and motioned for him to go to the meeting. Jiang Jingguo picked up the microphone and said, "Okay, I'll go over now." ”

After a while, Chiang Ching-kuo arrived at Huang Ke's office. After walking in, Huang Ke motioned for him to sit down, Chen Liewen brought him a cup of tea, and Jiang Jingguo stood up to pick it up. When Jiang Jingguo came in, the door was not closed tightly, but half-hidden, and Huang Ke motioned to Chen Liewen to close the door.

After closing the door, Huang Kecai said: "The Military Commission has held discussions and decided to set up a special investigation team for the robbery of military trains in Henan, and both of you are members of the team. Is there anything you'd like to say? ”

Jiang Jingguo obviously knew the news, and he nodded and motioned to Chen Liewen next to him to say first. Chen Liewen thought for a while and said: "I still say the same thing, there is no problem personally, but I am a little worried, after all, the burden is too heavy." ”

Jiang Jingguo nodded: "I feel the same way, I am both surprised and happy in my heart." ”

Huang Ke smiled: "Don't worry, youth is capital." When your father and I were your age, we were already making a revolution. It's good to be under pressure, but you also have to learn to resist it, otherwise one day you will be crushed. ”

Both nodded, but neither spoke.

Huang Ke continued: "This military train was robbed, the following report defines these people as bandits, of course, they robbed the country's anti-Japanese war military columns, killed people and set fires, and violated laws and disciplines, so naturally they are all lawbreakers, but you have to think about the deep-seated reasons, why do these people become lawbreakers? They should be honest farmers who cultivate their own land, why should they put down their hoes and go to get guns? ”

Jiang Jingguo was stunned in his heart, before this, his father told him that Huang Ke's move was actually to use this incident to get rid of dissidents, and the spearhead was Tang Enbo, which seemed to be true.

The two "......" did not make a statement, and they knew that they should not express their opinions casually at this time.

Huang Ke stood up from his chair, pointed at Jiang Jingguo and said, "Jianfeng, you came back from the Soviet Union, tell me why the Soviets were able to succeed?" ”

After thinking for a moment, Chiang Ching-kuo said: "The students thought that the success of the revolution in the Soviet Union was based on the rotten rule of Tsarist Russia, when Russia was desperate for military force and the common people were living in misery. ”

Jiang Jingguo talked eloquently, which made Chen Liewen on the side have to look at him with admiration. After hearing this, Huang Ke did not comment on the right or wrong of what he said, but just followed his words and said: "Water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat." Everyone understands this truth, but why can't it be reflected at this time? If the troops are gone, we can still recruit again, and if the weapons are gone, we can rebuild, but if the people are gone, what else can we do? ”

The two understood what Huang Ke meant, and Huang Ke smiled and said, "You two are young people, and young people should get rid of some shackles." This time the investigation team went to investigate, and I hope that you will not only see the surface, but also dig deeper into the reasons behind it. Okay, that's all I have to say, the personnel of the investigation team will be in place this afternoon, and the air force will arrange for a plane to take you to Kaifeng Airport, and I wish you good luck! ”

After Huang Ke finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and shook hands with the two.

……

When the task force was conducting an investigation in Henan, the fierce fighting on the front line was becoming more and more difficult day by day. In the Shanghai battlefield, the Japanese army had broken through most of the defense lines of our army, and now the troops were beginning to withdraw in an orderly manner to the periphery. Zhang Zhizhong, the commander of the Songhu front, has not stretched his brows these days, they fought in the first battle of Shanghai for half a year, but after all, they still did not defeat the Japanese, the battle to this extent, he knew that the brothers had done their best, after the first month of the first month, Zhang Zhizhong asked the Nanjing Ministry of National Defense to evacuate Shanghai under the cover of the troops.

The Nanjing Ministry of National Defense approved this suggestion, preserving the vital forces is the supreme law of war, Shanghai is now in ruins, if the war continues here, the Japanese will take even more desperate bombing, at that time, not only will the troops suffer serious losses, but will also affect the surrounding people, after all, this is not an enemy country, and the top level should consider these problems.

The Supreme Military Council of the Ministry of National Defense approved the withdrawal of the Shanghai defenders to the front line of Jiading and Kunshan in batches.

A few days later, the Battle of Shanghai ended. The mayor of Shanghai also telegraphed the whole country, sadly announcing the fall of Shanghai, the largest city in the Far East.

The 15th Group Army was one of the last troops to evacuate Shanghai, and they were the front team covering the rear team, and then the rear team covered the front team to evacuate alternately, so when the 15 th Army arrived at the Jiading line, it was already the last group of troops.

For the first time, Huang, the newly promoted deputy company commander, experienced the embarrassment and difficulties of retreating. He sat with Han Guang and others in a Huanghe jeep, with two wounded brothers sitting in the back seat, and the company commander Zhang Shunshui drove the car, and Han Guang and him huddled together. Along the way, everyone smoked cigarettes and rarely spoke.

The chariots, the horses, and the pedestrians, bows and arrows, are all at the waist. The troops were accompanied by groups of refugees, who formed a long line and moved from east to west.

Crunch! The car was walking and suddenly braked and stopped, Huang Zheng stumbled and almost fell, he held on to the handlebar and was about to go down to take a look, but saw an old man standing in front of the car with a child on his back and blocked the way.

"Didi!" Zhang Shunshui thought that the old man didn't notice the car behind him, so he pressed the horn vigorously, but the old man didn't mean to get out of the way, but turned his head and glared.

"This old woman!" Zhang Shunshui muttered, but still hit the steering wheel in the other direction, ready to bypass the old man. But the old man deliberately walked up to the car and stopped him.

"I said auntie, you let me! It's in our way. Zhang Shunshui was afraid of the old man's ears and shouted loudly.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the old man scolded loudly: "Blocking you!" Standing in your way! Is it blocking your escape? ”

Zhang Shunshui was speechless.
