Deng Xiangtao was in Guanshaling, originally waiting for people from the Hunan-Hubei-Henan border area to come over. These people fell into the hands of the New 2nd Army and could only be held as ordinary prisoners of war. But if it falls into his hands, it can play a huge role. These people, as long as they are interrogated by him once, will definitely gain something.

This time, taking advantage of the defeat of the New Fourth Army, it should be possible to turn some people to the Nationalist Government. Even if only one person is willing to defect to the Nationalist Government, it will be a great victory for the military commanders.

What a precious opportunity it is to be able to install its own people in the leading organs of the Hunan-Hubei-Henan border region. Deng Xiangtao never believed that the Communist Party would be monolithic. Facts have proved that there are always some undetermined people in the Communist Party who believe that the Chongqing government is orthodox and that the Communist Party has no tomorrow.

However, such a good opportunity was destroyed by Jiutou Mountain. Deng Xiangtao knew that Jiutou Mountain was relatively close to the New Fourth Army. When Zhu Jiahe was there, Jiutou Mountain was attacked by the Japanese army several times, but fortunately, the New Fourth Army intervened in time. Otherwise, there is no more Jiutou Mountain. Now, although Jiutoushan has changed to a new big boss, the debt owed to the New Fourth Army still has to be repaid.

However, in order to obtain the personnel of the Hunan-Hubei-Henan border region, Deng Xiangtao could no longer take care of so much. These people are not only wealth in his hands, but also meritorious deeds that are about to be obtained. Knowing this, it would have been better to let the New 2nd Army shoot on the spot. If there are fewer communist parties in the world, we will be able to eliminate some hidden dangers for the party-state.

Deng Xiangtao sent a report to the New 2nd Army, asking them to send troops to take advantage of the situation to eliminate the bandits in Jiutou Mountain and snatch back the people from the Hunan-Hubei-Henan border area. However, the new 2nd Army called back that they did not have enough troops. At the same time, the New 2nd Army also affirmed that it was not their task to clear the Jiutou Mountain.

Clearing out bandits, even if it succeeds, does not contribute much. Occupy Zhupo Mountain and garrison the headquarters of the Hunan-Henan-Hubei Advance Column: Wangtouchong, how comfortable is that? At this time, the important generals of the national army rushed everywhere to look for traces of the New Fourth Army, and then asked people to take pictures.

These photos will be the most powerful evidence of their victory. They didn't grab anything else, but they took more photos in the base area of the Hunan-Henan-Hubei advance column.

Besides, it is not an easy task to eliminate bandits. Let's not talk about the dangerous terrain of Jiutou Mountain, Jiutou Mountain is only a few dozen miles away from Guxing, what if the Japanese army suddenly dispatches? If there is a loss of personnel, who will replenish it? Weapons are consumed, who do you want? Those broken weapons on Jiutou Mountain, how could the national army look at them.

When the national army fights a war, it is also very good at calculating costs, not only actuarial costs, but also politics. Some concessions could be made if politically advantageous. But this kind of hard work may not be pleasing to them, and they will not do it.

Deng Xiangtao's communication was fruitless, and he was even more angry. The army has a mentality of resistance to those who are in command of the military. The telegrams he sent to the New 2nd Army, except for the first one, were not delivered to the commander.

"The personnel of the organs in the Hunan-Hubei-Henan border area were intercepted by Jiutou Mountain, do you think there is any way to get people back?" Deng Xiangtao summoned Deng Yangchun and Jingshan over and asked.

Since the army has no choice, it can only rely on itself. The relationship between the Loyal National Salvation Army and Jiutou Mountain is only a general friendship. He asked Gu Chunhui to send someone to negotiate, and Gu Chunhui's head shook like a rattle. In the past, when Zhu Jia and Jiutou Mountain were in charge, they would not give face to the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army. Now that he has changed to a new leader, he has not taken the loyal National Salvation Army seriously.

The terrain of Jiutou Mountain is dangerous, and there are hundreds of bandits, which can be described as strong soldiers and horses, and they naturally have the capital not to take the loyal and righteous National Salvation Army in their eyes. Besides, the relationship between the New Fourth Army and Jiutou Mountain is irreversible, and the relationship between them is better than that between the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army and Jiutou Mountain.

The army is unreliable, and Deng Xiangtao has no way to solve it, so he can only rely on himself. However, the military commander has not dealt with the bandits much, and Zhu Muyun, the only one who has been on Jiutou Mountain, but he can't reveal his identity, and he is still far away in Guxing, Deng Xiangtao only relies on himself.

"District, isn't there someone in Jiutou Mountain?" Jing Shan suddenly said that as the head of the intelligence department of the Ancient Star District, he was indeed well-informed.

"Zhongtong can't affect Jiutou Mountain yet." Deng Xiangtao shook his head. He was more inclined to believe that Jiutou Mountain rescued the New Fourth Army for the sake of his previous friendship.

"Maybe this matter was instructed by the Central Commander." Deng Yangchun suddenly said that as early as several encirclements and suppressions many years ago, the Central Committee had accumulated rich experience in dealing with the Chinese Communists.

"With this possibility, the Central Unification has always done whatever it takes to deal with the Communist Party." Iyama said he really didn't expect that.

"Do you think that Jiutoushan intercepted the personnel of the Hunan-Hubei-Henan border area in order to deal with the Communist Party?" Deng Xiangtao said coldly.

"Before I figured it out, there was any possibility." Jingshan said that since there are people in the Central Committee who have gone up to Jiutou Mountain, they will absolutely not allow Jiutou Mountain to "do anything wrong."

"Send a report to the bureau immediately." Deng Xiangtao said that when it comes to matters involving the Central Unification, he must consult the headquarters of the bureau. If the Central Command really gets in the way, the military commander will absolutely not be able to suffer this dumb loss.

The call back from the Military Command Bureau arrived very quickly. The Central Unification side did not admit the matter. Intercepting the personnel of the organs in the Hunan-Hubei-Henan border region is the meaning of the master of Jiutou Mountain.

Although the telegram showed that Jiutoushan's actions had nothing to do with Zhongtong, Deng Xiangtao could not fully believe it. As an intelligence officer, you don't trust anyone easily. This is both their merit and their pathetic.

"Ouza, shall I go to Jiutou Mountain?" Deng Yangchun took the initiative to ask. Sitting in the tube sand ridge analysis, you won't know anything. Only by going to Jiutou Mountain will you know what is going on.

"I'll go too." Iyama said immediately.

"It's okay for Deng Yangchun to go, you stay in Guanshaling, and I'll go back to Guxing." Deng Xiangtao said slowly, he had to go back to Guxing and meet with Zhu Muyun to know what was going on.

After Deng Xiangtao returned to Guxing, he was anxious to get in touch with Zhu Muyun. After Zhu Muyun saw the mark of the emergency joint, he quickly met with Deng Xiangtao.

"Can you get in touch with Jiutou Mountain and ask them to release the person I want?" Deng Xiangtao asked, if this matter was really done by the Central Union, he would ask for an explanation.

"How can I have such a big face?" Zhu Muyun said with a wry smile that he rarely reported Yang Shiying's affairs to Hu Mengbei before, and as for Deng Xiangtao, he didn't mention a word.

Now listening to Deng Xiangtao's story, Jiutou Mountain intercepted the personnel of the organs in the Hunan-Hubei-Henan border area, and he was very happy. If it weren't for Deng Xiangtao's face, he really wanted to laugh three times. When the personnel of the organs in the Hunan-Hubei-Henan border region arrived at Jiutou Mountain, at least their safety was guaranteed. With Ying Chengjie in Jiutou Mountain, it is impossible for the military commander to take people away.

Not to mention the military unification, even if it is the central unification, it is impossible to take people away. Jiutoushan had received the favor of the New Fourth Army before, and they took the lead in righteousness, even if they didn't say hello, their personal safety was guaranteed.

"Aren't you familiar with Jiutou Mountain?" Deng Xiangtao said.

"No matter how familiar you are, you won't have such a big face, people asked us to buy some sulfonamides, but we refused. Now let them release people, how can it be so easy? Besides, if there is no visible benefit, how can people release people? Zhu Muyun said with a sigh.

"Why do you always come first in what you do?" Deng Yangchun showed displeasure on his face, and assigned tasks to Zhu Muyun, just like doing business, always bargaining.

Last time, Jiutoushan bought dozens of gold bars of sulfonamide, but soon, it was said that sulfonamide was out of stock. The fool also knows that Jiutoushan resold sulfonamide to the New Fourth Army. In order to prevent the New Fourth Army from getting sulfonamides, he can only refrain from making this kind of money.

"District, it's not that I want benefits, but that people want benefits. Who are the bandits? Except for money, the six relatives do not recognize. Zhu Muyun said helplessly, no matter whether this "business" can be done or not, let's get the benefits first.

"Where am I going to get sulfonamides for them now?" Deng Xiangtao said dissatisfied.

"Without sulfonamides, gold bars and oceanic dollars can be used." Zhu Muyun said disapprovingly, these things are hard currency, if you give military tickets and Union bank coupons, the people of Jiutoushan may not be willing to ask for them. Of course, it would be better if they were given arms and medicines directly.

"You inquire about the news first, and then probe the tone of Jiutou Mountain." Deng Xiangtao said that since Zhu Muyun was allowed to come forward, he naturally had to be prepared to be slaughtered. As long as the personnel of the organs in the Hunan-Hubei-Henan border region can be sent to Guanshaling, even if they give some money, it is nothing.

It's just that, with the relationship between Jiutoushan and the New Fourth Army, will they abandon the personnel of the Hunan-Hubei-Henan border region for the sake of money? Although these people are not combatants, they are all treasures in Deng Xiangtao's eyes.

"I'll find someone to go up to Jiutou Mountain later." Zhu Muyun said. Deng Xiangtao didn't know about his connection with Yuan Wangcai. Like Yang Shiying, Yuan Wangcai, Luo Quan, Watson, the third son, and several informants of Zhu Muyun, they are all his own intelligence agents.

Since he began to become an incubator, Zhu Muyun began to subconsciously develop his own intelligence network. In order to protect the safety of these people, he will try to protect their information as much as possible. Even Hu Mengbei and Zhu Muyun didn't report before, let alone Deng Xiangtao.

In fact, Zhu Muyun only cares about one thing, whether Hu Mengbei is among this group of people. However, he didn't want Yuan Wangcai to inquire. Zhu Muyun's identity is top secret, and so is Hu Mengbei's identity. Even if Hu Mengbei really arrived at Jiutou Mountain, it would be difficult to find out the news.

"What have been the recent movements of the Japanese army?" Deng Xiangtao asked again.

"The Japanese army has sent people to reconnoiter in Zhupo Mountain, and it is necessary to remind the national army to be careful of a sudden sneak attack by the Japanese." Zhu Muyun reminded that the national army was originally in southern Henan and northern Anhui, and there was a base area of the New Fourth Army as a barrier, so there was no need to worry about the Japanese army in Guxing.

But now, after they capture Zhupo Mountain, they will come into direct contact with the Japanese army. Once the Japanese army launched a sweep, the national army would face the Japanese army head-on, which was the last thing the national army wanted to see.
