Chapter 996: Self-defeating

Shi Xixia also realized that since accepting this mission, he can only succeed and not fail. Otherwise, what awaits him will be a very tragic end.

After Shi Xixia returned to Liushuizhou, he held a meeting of the whole department, and except for Cheng Jilu, who was transferred to Xianzuoban, everyone else arrived. At the meeting, Shi Xixia introduced this task. When they heard that they were going behind enemy lines, it was still an area where the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were fighting, and everyone lowered their heads.

"The success of this operation directly determines whether the three places can gain a foothold in the Political Security Bureau. I decided to lead the team myself. Shi Xixia said slowly, although he really wanted to be like Zhu Muyun, hand over the task to others and stay at home by himself. Success, take credit. Failure, and hard work.

But Shi Xixia is different, he only has one way, and he must succeed. Otherwise, not only Li Bangfan might give up on him, but even Wu Shangtian was ready to abandon him. Once they give up at the same time, Shi Xixia's fate will be very tragic.

"No, you are the director, how can you personally take risks. Since no one wants to go, I'll go! Chen Lan suddenly said that she sang and harmonized with Shi Xixia in order to stimulate the people below.

"How can you let Section Chief Chen go, or let me lead the team." Zhu Jiading said that he was the chief of the operations section of the three departments, and it was very suitable for him to lead the team for this kind of task. Moreover, he had been in the army before and was familiar with the situation of **.

"No, I'm leading the operation. In addition to Zhu Jiading, Gu Zhaoxin also went with me. Shi Xixia said that these are the three last chances, and they are also his last chances. How could he entrust such an important task to someone else?

Seeing that Shi Xixia really wanted to go out in person, the others were very moved. There are not many officers who can have this kind of adventurous spirit. More people will only be greedy for enjoyment, and will not go to the front line to perform tasks at all.

"Since you're going, I'm going too." Chen Lan said that she knew that Shi Xixia had been in a bad situation recently, and Zhu Muyun basically had nothing to do with him except for maintaining business contacts with him. Occasionally, Shi Xixia wants to give more profits to Zhu Muyun, but what is strange is that Zhu Muyun behaves very "fair and honest", he only needs his share, and he doesn't want a penny.

This made Shi Xixia feel the crisis, and at the same time, Chen Lan also began to panic. If a greedy person suddenly becomes honest and self-disciplined, what does that mean? When Shi Xixia came back and told him about this mission, Chen Lan knew that Shi Xixia had no way out. If Shi Xixia has no way out, she has no way out.

It is difficult for Zhu Muyun to figure out the situation in other departments, but if there is any movement in the three places, Yu Guohui will tell him as soon as possible. In order to cover his whereabouts, Shi Xixia took great pains to get a few empty oil drums, put some in-demand goods underneath, and then welded a lid on them. It looks like a big empty oil drum.

A group of them, pretending to be going to visit relatives, did not use the identity of the Political Security Bureau when they went out. After arriving at the base area, there is the cover of these goods, and the locals will not suspect their identity. To do a full set of plays, in order to complete the task, Shi Xixia also tried his best.

It's just that Shi Xixia didn't take into account one point, these empty oil barrels seem to be his best cover, and at the same time, they are also the biggest feature of their group. As long as Zhu Muyun told the military commander about these characteristics, Shi Xixia and his party, even if they arrived at Zhupo Mountain, the chance of coming back alive was very low.

Moreover, after they crossed the ancient river, they had to pass through Jiutou Mountain. Cheng Jilu, as the deputy director of the Third Division, is even more clear about Shi Xixia's behavior. After consulting Lin Jingyi, Cheng Jilu immediately formulated a plan.

Cheng Jilu and Lin Jingyi have been plotting how to set Shi Xixia. However, Shi Xixia was too cautious, and they thought of a lot of ways, but Shi Xixia never took the bait.

Zhu Muyun didn't pay attention to Cheng Jilu's decision to take advantage of this opportunity. When he learned from Yuan Wangcai that Zhongtong asked Jiutou Mountain to intercept and kill Shi Xixia, he found that he had created this opportunity for Cheng Jilu.

"Mr. Zhu, what should I do now?" Yuan Wangcai asked, although he joined the Central Union, but it was under Zhu Muyun's instructions. Until now, when he encounters anything, he likes to report directly to Zhu Muyun.

"It's like doing business, just make more money. Didn't Zhongtong let Jiutou Mountain do things? Then make more demands, aren't you short of ammunition? Just stretch out your hand. Zhu Muyun said with a smile.

"However, Zhongtong only gave a sum of money before." Yuan Wangcai was a little embarrassed to say that he was not as shameless as Zhu Muyun. I always feel that the Central Unification gave a lot of money last time, and it is reasonable to help the Central Unification this time.

"The money last time was the money given by Zhongtong to buy a road when he entered Jiutou Mountain. Today's money is the money of the three places. Do you think Shi Xixia is so easy to deal with? The people in all three places are professionally trained. You can't deal with them without paying a price. Zhu Muyun said.

"Okay, I'll talk to Cheng Jilu." Yuan Wangcai said that before the matter was done, he opened his mouth to ask for money, but it was not his style.

However, when Yuan Wangcai told Cheng Jilu about the matter, Cheng Jilu did not refuse, and he happily gave a sum of money. Ask the bandits to help, Cheng Jilu never thought that it could be free.

Two days later, one of the people from the three places fled back and reported the news to the bureau that their group had been robbed in Jiutou Mountain. All the goods were lost, and they were a group of eight people, and the whereabouts of the others except him were unknown.

Li Bangfan was very angry when he heard the news, not only because he was angry that Jiutou Mountain was making trouble at a critical moment, but also because he was also angry about Shi Xixia's arrangement. So far, Shi Xixia has not only not sent back the news, but has taken several people in three places.

Li Bangfan called Zhu Muyun over, and he had to find out whether Shi Xixia had arrived at Jiutou Mountain, or had already been executed by the people of Jiutou Mountain.

"You go to check, has Shi Xixia had an accident?" Li Bangfan said that Zhu Muyun is in charge of the economic department, and it will have something to do with Gu Xing's black and white. Even if Zhu Muyun has no direct contact with Jiutou Mountain, Zhu Muyun must have a way to understand these things.

If Zhu Muyun was asked to inquire about the information of Jiutou Mountain, maybe he wouldn't be able to do it. However, it's still no problem to check someone. Shi Xixia is really going to Jiutou Mountain, maybe these bandits are still eager to get in touch with Gu Xing.

"No problem, but tomorrow afternoon at the earliest." Zhu Muyun thought for a while and said. If he wants to investigate, he can only use other channels, and he will receive information tomorrow afternoon, which is already very fast.

"No problem." Li Bangfan said.

Zhu Muyun also hoped that Shi Xixia could be taken to Jiutou Mountain, and it would even be better if he was executed on the spot. It's a pity that after Zhu Muyun contacted Yuan Wangcai, he learned that a group of people from three places and all important personnel escaped. Shi Xixia, Chen Lan and Zhu Jiading successfully passed through Jiutou Mountain and entered the base area.

And Gu Zhaoxin and some other personnel, as well as the dozen or so big oil drums they brought, became the trophies of Jiutou Mountain. Because Gu Zhaoxin is also a member of the Central Command, he was not abused after he went up the mountain.

"What did Cheng Jilu say?" Zhu Muyun asked, this is the plan formulated by the Central Union, and he originally thought that it should be foolproof. But who would have thought that Shi Xixia still escaped.

If Zhu Muyun carried out such a task, he would definitely gather the full strength of Jiutou Mountain to take down Shi Xixia and his party. Since Zhongtong has issued a sniper order to Shi Xixia, there is no need to be polite to Shi Xixia, just shoot him on the spot. For the sake of realism, the guns of Shi Xixia and his party were hidden in the oil drums, and when they encountered bandits, they had no power to fight back.

"Continue to search, and resolutely can't let Shi Xixia return to Guxing alive." Yuan Wangcai said. Since Shi Xixia has escaped, if he wants to catch him again, I am afraid it will be difficult.

"The radio station stayed in Jiutou Mountain, right?" Zhu Muyun asked.

"Yes, this is the most important trophy captured by Jiutou Mountain." Yuan Wangcai smiled and said that in addition to the radio station, there were several telephones, telephone lines, and some pounds of paper and ink.

These things are urgently needed by the New Fourth Army, and as long as they meet them, they will be able to change the ocean immediately. It's a pity that it's all in the hands of Jiutou Mountain now.

"That's fine." Zhu Muyun nodded, Shi Xixia didn't have a radio, and if he wanted to contact Gu Xing, he had to wait until he came back. No matter what information he obtains, it is impossible to get it back in the short term.

Since the operation on Jiutou Mountain failed, Zhu Muyun could only hope for the military commander. He has already passed the information to Yu Xinyu, and through the radio, he has already told Deng Xiangtao. The people from the Political Security Bureau go to reconnoitre, and if they encounter **, they will naturally not be polite.

Although in the afternoon of the same day, Zhu Muyun knew the result. But he still asked a merchant who often passed by Jiutou Mountain. Ask him to send someone to Jiutou Mountain to find out if there is a person with the surname Shi among the meat tickets recently caught in Jiutou Mountain.

Since Zhu Muyun agreed to Li Bangfan, of course he had to sing the full set. No matter what the result of this businessman will come in the end, Zhu Muyun can only report to Li Bangfan according to the information he heard.

Fortunately, Jiutou Mountain's sense of secrecy was not strong, and the next afternoon, Zhu Muyun did receive the news from Jiutou Mountain. Jiutou Mountain has done several votes recently, and also grabbed some empty oil barrels, which were originally intended to be put on the mountain to fill water and used as water tanks. As a result, after being transported to the mountain, it was found that there was a sandwich inside the oil drum, and a lot of important materials were found inside.

"Self-defeating." After Li Bangfan listened to Zhu Muyun's report, he only said this sentence.

In fact, in addition to Shi Xixia, there is also Deng Xiangtao. **The people of the New 2nd Army, escorting the staff of the Hunan-Hubei-Henan Border Region, passed by Jiutou Mountain, and specially sent a greeting post to Jiutou Mountain for the sake of safety. However, what Jiutoushan wants is the people of the New Fourth Army, how can they be polite to the New 2nd Army?

All the ** soldiers in charge of escorting, their guns were disarmed, and the personnel of the organs in the Hunan-Hubei-Henan border area naturally became the trophies of Jiutou Mountain. As for the people of the New 2nd Army, they were all put back.

When Deng Xiangtao heard the news at this time, he was so angry that he scolded his mother.
