Li Bangfan felt that as long as Liu Shaoyuan could be caught, he could pay any price. It's just that I don't usually burn incense, so it's definitely not okay to cram Buddha's feet temporarily.

"I've given him instructions, but his identity isn't enough to provide a safe underground transport line. Otherwise, the military commander would definitely find him. Zhu Muyun said regretfully.

"You are the director of the economic department, so you can't think of a way to make him a 'useful' person to the military command?" Li Bangfan said that the stronger Yang Zhi's ability, the more important the military commanders will pay to him, and the greater the role that his "nail" can play.

If Yang Zhi can become an indispensable person for the military commander, he will naturally be able to obtain the most important information. If Yang Zhi masters the underground transportation line, in order to send Liu Shaoyuan out safely, the military commander may let Yang Zhi be responsible for Liu Shaoyuan leaving the city.

"If he is 'useful' to the military command, it will be detrimental to the imperial army, and it is difficult to make a trade-off." Zhu Muyun said embarrassedly.

Of course, he wanted Yang Zhi to make more meritorious contributions to the military command, so that he would be able to blatantly dig into the corners of the Japanese. Such a task is also what Zhu Muyun is most willing to do.

"In order to eliminate the military command, it can be operated appropriately and flexibly." Li Bangfan said with a deep groan. Without investment, where is the return? As long as it's not a particularly big loss, he can afford it.

"I know how to do it." Zhu Muyun said that when Yang Zhi was allowed to "break into" the military command, it was just to deal with the situation that "Zhu Muyun has no internal line of the military command."

Yang Zhi's identity, Deng Xiangtao has long known. But Yang Zhi thought that his identity was top secret. Yang Zhi has officially joined the Anqing Association and is a very active member. If the military commanders want to pay attention to him, they must have a more important position in the Anqing Society. At the very least, it is necessary to make the military commander realize that Yang Zhi is a very capable person.

Li Bangfan had high expectations for Zhu Muyun, but he couldn't have imagined that Zhu Muyun wanted the military commander to pay attention to Yang Zhi, and he only needed to say hello to Deng Xiangtao. Not long after Zhu Muyun left Li Bangfan's residence, he turned to Wangjiagang and saw Deng Xiangtao, who had been waiting here for a long time.

"District, Liu Shaoyuan wants to leave Gu Xing, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it for a while." When Zhu Muyun saw Deng Xiangtao, he immediately pretended to be very embarrassed.

He dealt with Liu Shaoyuan on two principles: neither let Liu Shaoyuan fall into the hands of the Japanese, nor let him leave Guxing in the short term. Even, the latter is more urgent than the former. If he was given a choice as a last resort, he would rather fall into the hands of the Japanese in order to keep Liu Shaoyuan.

"Liu Shaoyuan is now in the basement of Klermansha Street, he is a military commander, and he can't stay in Guxing for a long time." Deng Xiangtao frowned. Although Liu Shaoyuan's safety is fine, it is not a matter for him to stay in Guxing all the time.

"Stay in the basement, at least there is no problem with safety. If you have to be sent out of the city, something may happen. His traits are too obvious and difficult to pass. Zhu Muyun said that nowadays, even having enough to eat is a problem, but Liu Shaoyuan has a big belly, and as long as he passes the checkpoint, he will definitely be exposed.

Moreover, Zhu Muyun "promised" that as long as Liu Shaoyuan forcibly left the city, it would not go well. Because, he won't allow this to happen.

"Let's see what happens." Deng Xiangtao groaned and said that since Zhu Muyun could not escort Liu Shaoyuan out of the city, he could only think of another way. Zhu Muyun is his trump card, and it is impossible for him to let Zhu Muyun take risks in order to send Liu Shaoyuan out of the city.

Besides, Deng Xiangtao also has other resources. In Deng Xiangtao's hands, he already has the secret underground communication line, plus Feng Ziyuan and Du Huashan, he will try to think of other ways.

"It's best because the French Concession is completely blocked." Zhu Muyun reported the search and arrest plan of the French Concession to Deng Xiangtao in detail. This search and arrest has blocked all the previous loopholes.

For example, the wharf in the French Concession also sent people to inspect this time. The checkpoint to Chinatown is even more closely checked. It can be said that Liu Shaoyuan is difficult to fly.

Listening to Zhu Muyun's report, Deng Xiangtao's brows also frowned tightly. According to the arrangement of the gendarmerie detachment, Liu Shaoyuan had almost no chance of leaving smoothly. Once Liu Shaoyuan comes out of the basement, he may be found at any time. Deng Xiangtao felt that with Liu Shaoyuan's unwilling to be lonely, it was difficult to live in the basement with peace of mind.

Although Zhu Muyun had already reported to Li Bangfan last night, he still went to the Zhennan Hardware Factory in the morning. He has already arranged the work of Xianzuoban, and it doesn't matter whether he, the captain, goes or not.

Zhu Muyun came to the Political Security Bureau, naturally not for work. He needed to leave the French Concession before he had a chance to meet Hu Mengbei. Such an important thing happened, Zhu Muyun felt that it was necessary to report to Hu Mengbei. No, he is now the leader of Hu Mengbei, and he should communicate with Hu Mengbei.

"According to the information provided by Tanijiro Osawa, there are signs of the withdrawal of the Japanese army. This can be seen from the recent work arrangements of the logistics department of the 11th Army, which is already preparing barracks. At this time, I don't think Liu Shaoyuan can leave Gu Xing. Even if he is allowed to fall into the hands of the Japanese, he must not be allowed to leave. Zhu Muyun said firmly.

"As long as the troops of the Eastern Hubei Guerrilla General Headquarters do not attack our army, they will still be treated as friendly forces. The national army can be unkind to us, but we cannot be unjust to him. Hu Mengbei did not agree with Zhu Muyun's approach, and the Communists should have a mind like the sea.

"Liu Shaoyuan's adjutant has confessed that they came to Guxing to spy on Japanese intelligence. Prepare for the next attack on the Hunan-Hubei-Henan border region. In my opinion, you should report back to your family quickly. Taking advantage of the withdrawal of the Japanese army, the defensive line was quickly consolidated to prevent another sneak attack by the national army. Zhu Muyun said with a deep groan.

The New 2nd Army and the 22nd Army have just attacked the Hunan-Hubei-Henan border region. Hu Mengbei's injuries are not healed yet, so he forgot the face of the national army so quickly? No matter what Hu Mengbei thinks, Zhu Muyun will resolutely not agree to send Liu Shaoyuan away. At least, before the Japanese army returned to Guxing, Liu Shaoyuan had to stay.

Zhu Muyun is the head of the intelligence team, and the information he provides, Hu Mengbei must take it seriously. This is also what Bian Mingze specially told him, and the matter of intelligence is mainly based on Zhu Muyun. Other things, take Hu Mengbei as the talk. In their weeds intelligence group, Zhu Muyun is the team leader, and Hu Mengbei is the deputy team leader. In fact, Hu Mengbei is more like a political commissar. In addition to intelligence, Hu Mengbei will be responsible.

On February 8, 1941, the Japanese army began to withdraw from southern Henan. After receiving the information provided by the military commander, the Fifth Theater repeatedly urged Liu Shaoyuan to quickly return to the unit. However, the blockade of the Political Security Bureau was too strict, and Liu Shaoyuan could only stay in the basement of the French Concession. Compared with being arrested by spies, Liu Shaoyuan would rather be a turtle with a shrunken head.

"District Chief Deng, I must return to the army immediately. Otherwise, all the consequences caused by this will be the responsibility of the Ancient Star District! When Liu Shaoyuan received the order from Deng Xiangtao's Eastern Hubei Guerrilla General Headquarters, he could no longer sit still.

The General Headquarters has already given an order to the 16th Column, telling the 16th Column to immediately start and immediately attack the base area of the Hunan-Hubei-Henan border region: the Huangqiao and Huang'an areas. The three detachments under him have already begun to set off, but he, the commander of the column, is still trapped in Guxing. If something happens, it's a big deal.

"Commander Liu, I've checked with the Fifth War Zone. Without anyone ordering, you can come to the ancient star. Deng Xiangtao said lightly that Liu Shaoyuan came to Guxing without permission, and if it was his subordinates, this kind of person would have been removed from office a long time ago.

However, the Eastern Hubei Guerrilla General Headquarters was very strange and did not seem to mind Liu Shaoyuan's visit to Guxing. Even if Liu Shaoyuan was not in the column, he still gave orders to the 16th column.

"I don't care so much, this is in the ancient star, you must escort me out of the city immediately." Liu Shaoyuan said.

Deng Xiangtao was very shameful about Liu Shaoyuan's behavior, but after all, Liu Shaoyuan also worked for the party-state. The 16 th Column's attack on the base areas in the Hunan-Hubei-Henan border region was also very much in favor of him. However, he still has to ensure Liu Shaoyuan's safety.

Feng Ziyuan and Du Huashan were not sure about this matter. The two of them were only deputy directors and had no real power in their hands. If Liu Shaoyuan wants to leave, he must rely on Zhu Muyun.

Fortunately, after Zhu Muyun received the order this time, he did not push back again. At this time, the Japanese army had returned, and the shameless behavior of the national army had been learned of by the Hunan-Henan-Hubei advance column. Let Liu Shaoyuan leave at this time, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Moreover, the search for Liu Shaoyuan did not have the previous strength. Zhu Muyun asked Deng Xiangtao to spread the news: Liu Shaoyuan had returned to the 16th Column and began to issue combat orders.

The Political Security Bureau was convinced of this news, and if Liu Shaoyuan did not return to the 16th Column, how could this unit be mobilized. Now that Liu Shaoyuan has left Guxing, it is no longer meaningful to search and arrest in the French Concession. That night, Liu Shaoyuan left Gu Xing.

"District Mayor Deng, thank you for sending me off in person. Later, the brothers of the military commander, when they arrived in our 16th column, it was like going home. After Liu Shaoyuan left Gu Xing, he immediately found the feeling of being a commander.

"Thank you, Commander Liu, I wish your army a victorious start and a triumphant return as soon as possible." Deng Xiangtao said with a smile that no matter how disgusted he was with Liu Shaoyuan, his face would not show it.

Liu Shaoyuan finally caught up with the troops two days later, but it seemed a little late. After the Eastern Hubei Guerrilla General Headquarters began to pounce on the base areas in the Hunan-Hubei-Henan border region, the 1st and 9th regiments of the Henan-Hubei Advance Column of the New Fourth Army immediately fought back in self-defense, and the third detachment of the 16th Column was completely annihilated before it could gain a firm foothold.

On the night of 17 February, the 2nd and 3rd regiments of the Hunan-Henan-Hubei Advance Column set out from the Jing'an area to cross the Pinghan Railway, and the 1st and 9th regiments set out from the southern area of Pi'an to enter Wushan, surrounded the 19th Kuomintang Column from all sides, and compressed it in narrow areas such as Wanfu Mountain, Crooked Village, Baiguoshuwan, and Xinwufu.

On the 18th, a general offensive was launched, and after three consecutive days of fighting, all the special service brigades of the column and most of the 4th and 5th detachments were annihilated, more than 2,000 people of the 4th detachment were captured, and the occupied anti-Japanese base areas were completely restored.
