Chapter 657: Ping'an Ambush
Hu Mengbei said very excitedly, but Zhu Muyun was more worried about Zhou Ming's safety at the moment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info He also knew that as a Communist, he never took danger seriously. For the sake of the revolutionary cause, you can sacrifice your life at any time, how can you be afraid of these so-called dangers?
"I understand what you say, but now is the critical moment. At this time, all of Zhou Ming's actions may be mastered by Wu Shangtian. If his shipment contains prohibited materials, it is easy to have an accident. Zhu Muyun reminded that Zhou Ming was likely to be followed in three places. This is particularly worrying to him.
"I've reminded my family, I think, the underground party will take care of it. However, if Zhou Ming was asked to choose between withdrawing alone and transporting materials, he would not hesitate to choose the latter. Hu Mengbei said firmly.
Zhu Muyun actually knows that it is basically impossible to get comrades to stop working for safety. The reason why they threw their heads and spilled their blood was not to make themselves safer, but to liberate the toiling masses.
"Lao Hu, Yang Jinqu has been very excited recently, and it seems that the dunning plan is going well." Zhu Muyun said again. Ah Er was imprisoned in a special high school and has been basically characterized as a military commander. If Ah Da becomes an underground party again, Wu Shangtian will definitely go crazy.
"Our guys are doing work on the other side of Victory Street. Presumably, it will not be long before the effect will be seen. Hu Mengbei said.
"By the way, Li Yanhan of the Salt Political Bureau, I'm afraid there will be trouble recently." Zhu Muyun said that Li Yanhan was too arrogant. Although it has the backing of Japan, it can't be too blatant, right? If even Ma Xingbiao can find out that there is a problem with the salt political situation, presumably his affairs will not be hidden from the Japanese.
Since receiving a call from Ma Xingbiao, Zhu Muyun has been preparing how to cut off contact with Li Yanhan. He believes that it won't take long for Li Yanhan, the director of the Salt Administration, to lose power. Taking precautions, Zhu Muyun has to do his work ahead.
"He has a good relationship with Shibayama and Asao, and he is a hardcore traitor family, how can he be in trouble?" Hu Mengbei asked in surprise, Li Yanhan is greedy for money, as long as he is given enough benefits, he can get salt. With this channel, unless Zhu Muyun withholds other private salt, the salt used in the base area is all the salt of the Salt Political Bureau. It's expensive, but it's safe and worry-free.
"Ma Xingbiao found out that the sales license of the Salt Administration Bureau was reused, and this time it was also a license for military salt." Zhu Muyun said with a sigh.
"Isn't Ma Xingbiao your person now? You say hello, won't Li Yanhan be fine? Hu Mengbei said that before Ma Xingbiao, he was Zhu Muyun's opponent. Moreover, as an underground party member, it is funny to protect a hardcore traitor, but this is the case. These greedy traitors can let the base area get the most scarce materials, and that is enough.
"Lao Hu, why don't you understand. It's easy for me to say hello to Ma Xingbiao, but can I greet everyone? Can you say hello to the Japanese? Let's not talk about whether the Japanese can find it, even if the Japanese don't find it. Ma Xingbiao's second department, there are not many people, but his mouth is quite mixed. Presumably, the news has already been revealed. Zhu Muyun glanced at Hu Mengbei and said very dissatisfied.
"I'm not as sensitive to this matter as you are." Hu Mengbei was embarrassed to say that Zhu Muyun is now an old fritter in officialdom, and he still uses the base area, of course he will not be adaptable.
"Since Li Yanhan is going to fall, what I mean is to stock up on more goods while he hasn't fallen yet?" Zhu Muyun said that salt is a monopoly and is an indispensable daily necessities, even if you spend a little more money, you should save as much as possible. There is salt in the heart, and there is no panic in the heart. Sometimes, salt is more important than food.
"I reported it to my family." Hu Mengbei said.
"Another thing, during this time in the French Concession, there will be frequent water and electricity cuts, you have to be prepared." Zhu Muyun reminded that Jiro Ono's plan was about to start.
"I've been prepared for a long time." Hu Mengbei said that the power outage and water cutoff did not have much impact on him. It's a big deal, it's just a little hotter. But in the basement, it's still pretty cool.
Like last time, Zhu Muyun then went to Deng Xiangtao. He had to ask about today's matter. Seeing Zhu Muyun, Deng Xiangtao showed a wry smile on his face. This kid is so late, and he still comes to himself, it must be nothing good.
"District, Zhao Guoqiang received it, right?" Zhu Muyun asked with a smile.
"It's arranged." Deng Xiangtao thought to himself, Zhu Muyun really came to ask about this.
"Isn't it just an intelligence officer in the Ninth War Zone, there's no need to use my connections, right? I'm telling you, this has caused me a lot of trouble, and you have to compensate me. Zhu Muyun sat opposite Deng Xiangtao and complained.
"What's the trouble you're going to have?" Deng Xiangtao said dissatisfied.
"I wanted to get him out, but I owe Yu Chi Qingju a favor. This favor will have to be repaid when the time comes. Zhu Muyun said meaningfully.
"When did you become a bargain for a mission?" Deng Xiangtao said.
"District seat, Chen Zhonghu's identity, isn't it very special?" Zhu Muyun asked with a grin.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't know what you shouldn't know." Deng Xiangtao said coldly.
"Okay." Zhu Muyun said helplessly, the official level crushed people to death, Deng Xiangtao didn't say it, and he couldn't ask forcibly. However, from Deng Xiangtao's tone, he deduced that the identity of this Chen Zhonghu may not be ordinary. Perhaps, he was on a special mission, perhaps, he got important information. It is also possible that it was he who knew the military secrets of the Ninth Theater of Operations.
"Hu Rui's role is gone. I have decided to take the opportunity to sanction him. Deng Xiangtao suddenly said that this kind of subordinates who do not obey orders must be resolutely eliminated. Otherwise, you will become a shameful traitor.
"Do you need my cooperation?" Zhu Muyun asked, his opinion is to keep Hu Rui and play a greater role. But Deng Xiangtao has made up his mind, and no matter how much persuasion he makes, it will have no effect.
Of course, at present, getting rid of Hu Rui also has a certain effect. If the intelligence department did not have Hu Rui as an insider, it would be very anxious. And Ma Xingbiao will soon enter the military command. Perhaps, Zhang Baipeng will pull Ma Xingbiao over. As long as Zhang Baipeng has this intention, he can promote the plan of military unification.
"He's my man, what do you want to do with him when you get rid of him?" Deng Xiangtao glanced at Zhu Muyun, Zhu Muyun has a great role and does not need to be used to do these specific work.
"Don't let me cooperate, I'll save trouble." Zhu Muyun said with a smile.
"How's your relationship with Xu Huiying?" Deng Xiangtao asked, he and Xu Shiying exchanged telegrams, and the other party asked this question again. Xu Shiying also tentatively asked whether to arrange Zhu Muyun to go back to Chongqing. Because Xu Huiying's parents wanted to meet him.
This request made Deng Xiangtao very difficult. But what made him even more anxious was that the relationship between Zhu Muyun and Xu Huiying was still affectionate and polite. Zhu Muyun looked witty, why did he drop the chain at the critical moment. If Zhu Muyun can't do it anymore, he is ready to give Xu Huiying an order. However, the twisted melon is not sweet. He hopes that Xu Huiying can really like Zhu Muyun.
"It's okay, in the evening, we went to the movies again, and we did her hair with her." Zhu Muyun said.
"That's not enough, we should get closer." Deng Xiangtao said urgently.
"Ouza, have you heard the saying that the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry?" Zhu Muyun said with a smile.
"Get out of here." Deng Xiangtao raised his hand and made a gesture to hit Zhu Muyun.
Zhu Muyun went to the dock to sleep at night. Early the next morning, he still went to the Zhennan Hardware Factory first. As soon as he saw Li Bangfan, Zhu Muyun felt that the atmosphere was wrong, Li Bangfan's face was gloomy, as if someone owed him a hundred gold bars and didn't plan to pay it back.
"Bureau, what's wrong?" Zhu Muyun asked softly.
"I just received news that the Imperial Army was ambushed by the New Fourth Army on the Ping'an Highway east of Pingba." Li Bangfan said bitterly that although the invincible imperial army was ambushed by the New Fourth Army, it should not be defeated. Moreover, Okuzu Kisaburo, a death-fearing ghost, actually brought the imperial army back to Anlu, which is really a shame for the Japanese Empire.
"What? The New Fourth Army dared to ambush the Imperial Army, wasn't that self-defeating? Zhu Muyun said in surprise, but in his heart, he was secretly happy. Judging from Li Bangfan's expression, he knew very well that the Japanese were afraid that they would suffer a big loss this time.
"That was natural, the New Fourth Army dispatched two regiments, several thousand men, and occupied favorable terrain. However, their casualties are many times greater than ours. Li Bangfan snorted coldly and said, in his mind, the imperial army can be used as a ten, or even a hundred. The New Fourth Army was just a group of rogues, they were poorly equipped, how could they inflict casualties on the Imperial Army.
"The imperial army is invincible in the world, and wherever it goes, the New Fourth Army will definitely be terrified. Bureau, did Pingba take it? Zhu Muyun asked. Now, he really wants to meet Hu Mengbei and listen to it with his own ears, so he introduced the ambush this time.
At the same time, Zhu Muyun was also a little worried. The combat effectiveness of the New Fourth Army is indeed inferior to that of the Japanese army, and this is a problem that must be squarely faced. Even if there was an ambush, the casualties of our troops were large. I don't know if the medicine in the base area is enough, and whether their bandages and gauze are enough.
"The New Fourth Army had been prepared for a long time, but the surprise attack failed, and the imperial army made a quick decision and withdrew to Anlu." Li Bangfan said.
"As long as the imperial army's losses are not large, Pingba is there, you can get it back at any time, don't be in a hurry." Zhu Muyun comforted.
"That's right." Li Bangfan nodded, and seemed to feel better.
"Bureau, where is Ding Zihuang? Was it the way he led the way for the imperial army? Zhu Muyun asked.
"When this boy heard the gunshots, he smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and when he returned, you sent someone to escort him to the gendarmerie." Li Bangfan said angrily, Zhu Muyun didn't mention Ding Zihuang, as soon as he heard this person's name, he was angry.
