"I see."

Shao Fei hung up the phone. The call was made by Liang Yihui, and he only told Shao Fei that the commander of the second battalion of the garrison regiment had gone to Cai Jilun's house.

Shao Fei sat on the office chair, raised his head and breathed a long sigh of relief to calm himself, but he couldn't calm down no matter what. The first battalion is gone, the second battalion may have defected, and now only those officers in the police station remain.

Until now, Shao Fei didn't know that something had happened to police chief Xu Fu's family.

Just as Shao Fei was thinking about an emergency plan, Xue Bing walked in and reported to Shao Fei: "Report, the ten search steamers of Minsheng Company have arrived at the dock. Now the Sichuan soldiers on the ship are disembarking and starting to load the cargo after they are done. ”

Shao Fei sat up straight and replied, "We know." By the way, how are all those military supplies transferred? ”

Xue Bing replied: "Almost all the materials hoarded before have been transferred to Chongqing, and some have already begun to be installed for production. However, a batch of machinery from the Jinling Arsenal has just arrived in Yichang, ready to be loaded on the ship and shipped to Chongqing. ”

Shao Fei fell into contemplation for a while. The Japanese army should know this information, so they will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and a new round of air raids is coming.

Shao Fei quietly thought about every link, as well as the cards he could use in his hand, and did not speak for a long time. And Xue Bing waited quietly on the side.

After a while, Shao Fei suddenly stood up and ordered, "Order all the troops to return to the camp and assemble, including the special combat team." ”

At the wharf, a large number of Sichuan soldiers began to disembark one after another, and then gathered in the open space of the wharf in an orderly manner. Then officers of all levels are in charge and go to the destination point to assemble again.

"Take a break! Attention! Count! ”

“1，2，3……”

“……”

The entire dock echoed the call to assemble, and it became a makeshift barracks.

Not long after, a major general division commander got off the ship, and after looking around, he went to the assembly area.

"Brigadier Lu."

"Brother Haotian!"

It was Lu Kang who got down from the ship, a subordinate of Wang Mingzhang who had fought in Xuzhou. He was seriously injured when he left Teng County, but Liu Ying later risked his life to save his life. At this time, Chen Haotian had been waiting at the dock for a long time.

In the Battle of Wuhan, the troops on all sides suffered heavy casualties. In order to replenish the troops in various battlefields, Chairman Chiang made a plan to expand the army.

At that time, the 22nd Group received an order from the Military Commission to set up a new division (three infantry regiments directly under the jurisdiction of the 41st Army and the 45th Army). The 41st Army established a new Fifth Division, and the commander of the division was Lu Kang, commander of the 37th O Brigade, who had been seriously wounded in the Battle of Tengxian, to the post of division commander.

Chen Haotian said with a smile: "I should call you Master Lu." ”

Lu Kang waved his hand and said, "Haotian smiled, they are all recruits who have no combat effectiveness. ”

Chen Haotian asked, "How many people did you bring with you this time?" ”

As soon as they met, they asked how many troops they were carrying, and it seemed that Chen Haotian was not so simple as coming to pick him up, but the idea of fighting this regiment, so Lu Kang asked: "There is a regiment in this batch." Chen Haotian, what are you going to do? ”

"Let's take a step to speak."

Immediately, Chen Haotian took Lu Kang to another place to discuss the future.

At Cai Jilun's house. Mieko has collected all the cards she can collect, just waiting for the moment to come. For Yichang, it will be a night of firelight.

Nanakusa walked up behind Mieko and reported, "The order has been issued by radio, and the action time is 12 o'clock in the morning. ”

At this time, Mieko was standing quietly by the window, not answering. She kept an eye on the garden downstairs, the blooming autumn chrysanthemum was intoxicating, but once the flower reached its most beautiful moment, it also indicated that it was about to wither.

From the moment the information was sent, Mieko had been distracted. But judging from the situation, I am sure that I will win, but where does this restless heart come from?

Nanakusa saw Mieko's uneasiness, and asked worriedly, "Miss Mieko, are you okay?" ”

The corners of Mieko's mouth rose, she lowered her head slightly, and asked, "Nanakusa, do you have someone you like?" ”

Nanakusa was surprised. Why at this time, Mieko would suddenly ask such an inopportune question. Maybe that beautiful chrysanthemum purified her filthy soul a little and made her think about something else.

After thinking for a moment, Qicao replied: "I used to have, but I secretly liked people, and then he joined the army. I don't know where it is now, dead or alive. But people like us are not qualified to talk about those things, and our bodies have long since become dirty. ”

Mieko's expression changed: "Our bodies are dirty, but our souls are pure. We dedicate everything to the Holy War, to His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"Hmm,"

Nanakusa nodded. Mieko turned her head and continued to admire the chrysanthemums in the back garden, thinking that it was her island-kun.

In Lu Zuofu's office. At this critical juncture, Lu Zuofu was restless and kept walking back and forth in front of his desk.

In the last Japanese air raid, Minsheng Company suffered heavy losses, and that shadow has been lingering in Lu Zuofu's mind. Now it is a critical moment again, and in any case, it is necessary to transport the assembly machinery of the Jinling Arsenal back to the rear, and there must be no mistakes.

"Someone!"

As soon as Lu Zuofu's voice fell, the secretary walked in, and it didn't seem that he came in because of Lu Zuofu's shout.

"Haven't you found Zhao Hongfei yet? I haven't seen him lately, so I don't know what he's doing!? ”

Lu Zuofu complained. Usually forget it, especially at critical moments, but I can't find Zhao Hongfei's person.

The secretary took the note and stepped forward and said, "He just came, left a note and left."

"What the hell!?"

Lu Zuofu was very angry, and took the note with force, and his expression changed greatly. Immediately returned the note to the secretary and said, "You must do what is on the note."

The secretary took the note back and looked at it, shocked. quickly turned around and left, starting with what Zhao Hongfei explained.

At the place where the underground party of the Chinese Communist Party in Yichang is located, a person walked in in a panic and said, "News is coming from the dock."

The person in charge asked, "Seeing that you are so flustered, is there something wrong with the dock?"

The man replied: "Mr. Lu's assistant, Zhao Hongfei, asked the trade union cadres to send us a message, and after dark, all the radio stations were silent."

The person in charge immediately understood that it seemed that something big was going to happen at night.

The man asked, "What is the origin of that name Zhao Hongfei?" This person has great powers, and as soon as he arrived in Yichang, he became one with all forces. ”

The person in charge replied: "I have specially investigated this person, and the intelligence comes from the New Fourth Army. It is also a strange thing to say, he was originally the son of a town mayor, and then the town did all kinds of evil, and harmed one party. But after a serious illness, his temperament changed greatly, and he became a good person. ”

The person on the side sighed: "What a strange thing, what happened later?"

The person in charge smiled: "Later, it was even more strange!" He casually organized an untrained team to fight on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Later, I don't know what the reason was, I went south with my troops. Now he has left his troops and run to Yichang. ”

The man asked, "What is his political position?"

The person in charge replied, "Neutral."

"Heh~" The man smiled and said, "He is a rare talent, we should do everything we can to pull him into the revolutionary ranks."

The person in charge smiled again: "You still need to say that the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui has already begun to work on this matter." Send an important person into their ranks to win him over as much as they can. ”

At the location of the Yichang Military Command, Zhao Hongfei had already come here to discuss with Liang Yihui the plan of action for the evening.

Liang Yihui asked, "How is Minsheng Company?"

Zhao Hongfei replied: "It's all done, what about you?"

Liang Yihui said with a smile: "Everything is ready, and I have contacted all the institutions and departments that can be contacted." Be sure to catch a big fish at night. ”

"Alright, let's go our separate ways. But there's a fish that I have to catch. ”

"Yes." Liang Yihui nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will abide by the agreement."

Immediately, Zhao Hongfei was full of confidence, took two steps back and turned to leave.
