The secret war is silent

"Brother, I'm back."

"Looking at your expression, it doesn't look like you brought me any good news?" Luo Yao didn't blame him, but calmly poured a glass of water and put it in front of Yang Fan.

Yang Fan nodded and described his experience to Luo Yao in detail, not missing a word, including his facial expressions.

This was quite difficult for him who was good at action. He must have organized the words in his mind many times on the way back.

After saying that, Yang Fan lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Luo Yao's eyes.

Luo Yao looked at him quietly for seven or eight seconds and then said: "Tiger, this is a trap set by others. Lao Jiang has always been under the surveillance of others. Moreover, this Lao Jiang is related to Zhang Yuanliang It’s unusual. Who knew I wasn’t acting tonight, singing an oboe, and doing it for you?”

"Brother, if this is the case, then Jiang Zhiren is too abominable. He clearly knows that our mission on this trip is to take away Jin Zhaofu, and he still conspires with the Zhongtong people to deceive his own people?"

"Interest, as long as there is enough interest, people can take risks and do things you can't imagine." Luo Yao said.

"Brother, what should we do? The mission failed and the person was taken away by Zhang Yuanliang. It will be difficult to snatch the person back from him."

"You don't need to think about this. Go down and rest first." Luo Yao ordered.

"Yes, brother, you should rest early." Yang Fan nodded guiltily, turned around and left Luo Yao's room.

…

Luo Yaozai stood up and glanced at the muddy leather shoes at the foot of the bed. Before he could clean them, Yang Fan came. He had no choice but to cover them up first.

As for Yang Fan, who was mentally consumed by the failure of his mission and his identity being revealed, he should not have noticed any abnormalities.

After cleaning up and making sure that no traces were left, Luo Yao got on the bed, lay down, and slowly closed his eyes.

…

On the other side, Zhang Yuanliang took Jin Zhaofu with him. Naturally, he could not go back to the yard that the investigation room rented for him. Instead, he left the town directly and found a safe house for him and his new love.

After a non-stop journey, we finally arrived at Guanghua County.

"Counsellor Jin, I'm sorry to make you feel wronged. Don't worry, we will send you to the mountain city soon. By then, you won't have to live in hiding like you do now."

"Well, well..." Jin Zhaofu's cheeks were red and he hummed twice. In response, he was obviously drunk.

When Zhang Yuanliang saw Jin Zhaofu's state, he had no way to communicate and could only wait until he sobered up.

"Miss Sun, I will ask you to take care of Councilor Jin. We will talk about it tomorrow when he sobers up." Zhang Yuanliang said to Miss Sun who always remained calm.

"Director Zhang, don't worry, I will take good care of our Lao Jin." Miss Sun nodded, her words seemed to be talking about an insignificant person.

"Thank you." Zhang Yuanliang glanced at Sun Yan's curvy figure, with a burning light flashing in his eyes.

This woman is young, beautiful, and has such a good figure. She is really taking advantage of this guy Jin Zhaofu.

But when I think about it, after this man is sent to the mountain city, he will definitely be praised by the people on the mountain. By then, what kind of woman do you want?

"Guard this courtyard. No one is allowed to come near. Anyone who disobeys the order can be executed first and then shot!"

"yes!"

…

"Gong De, Director Wei, please see me." On the morning of the 12th, Li Delin just got up, and the guard brought him a basin of hot water. He was about to wash up.

The aide-de-camp Liu Yingcai came to his side and reported in a low voice.

"Well, I understand. Ask him to wait outside for a while. I'll wash my face and go over." Li Delin ordered.

The war in Yichang is tense, and last night there was bad news several times. Many peripheral positions outside the city were breached by the Japanese army.

The battle was extremely fierce, but the reinforcements were blocked by the Japanese troops in Dangyang, Jingmen and other places and could no longer move forward.

In addition to being attacked by the Japanese army, Yichang was also bombed by the army and naval aviation in the sky, as well as bombarded by Japanese naval guns on the Shuo River.

Under such a trinity of blows, the city of Yichang has long been in ruins.

In such a small city of Yichang, the Japanese army concentrated two main field A divisions, the 3rd and 13th divisions, and the 39th division of the B division. Together with the puppet troops trapped there, the number was said to be one hundred thousand. people.

Although Chen Cixiu was commanding the front line, he was still the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Anti-Japanese Forces. Chen Cixiu, the commander of the right-wing regiment, was also nominally under his control.

Also, once Yichang is lost, the road from the Fifth War Zone to the mountain city will be cut off, making it difficult to supply anything, especially ammunition and weapons.

It was about the survival of the Fifth War Zone, how could he dare to slack off for a moment.

Now it seems that the fall of Yichang is only a matter of time, and he has to consider the complex situation he will face after the war.

I don't go to bed until after two o'clock at night and get up before six o'clock in the morning. Even if I am old and sleep less, I can only sleep less than four hours a day, which is a bit unbearable.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he was busy with military affairs. He also had to meet people, hold meetings, and study various tasks. This theater commander was not that easy to do.

He put on his coat, buttoned it, took the armed belt from the adjutant, tied it up, and then walked out.

"Gong De." When Wei Yongcheng saw Li Delin coming in, he quickly stood up from his seat and saluted with a military salute.

"Director Wei, what's the matter?" Li Delin asked.

"Gong De, something happened last night. I thought I'd better come and report it to you." Wei Yongcheng said cautiously.

Li Delin glanced at him: "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't hesitate."

"Yes." Wei Yongcheng immediately told the truth about the banquet he gave to Jin Zhaofu last night to celebrate his move and finding a husband, as well as the subsequent kidnapping by the military commander and the fight between the three families.

"Why are you arranging to eat out? Isn't this deliberately giving these people a chance?" Li Delin was slightly unhappy.

"Actually, my subordinates had long known that they had this idea, so they deliberately set a trap to teach them a lesson. Unexpectedly, the person who did it was someone from the Laohekou Station of the Military Command, and it was Zhang Yuanliang who benefited in the end. "Wei Yongcheng said.

"Did you mess up?"

"My subordinate realizes his mistake."

"Forget it, sooner or later the person will be handed over to them. It doesn't matter if it is handed over to Zhang Yuanliang, you can worry less." Li Delin waved his hand slightly and said.

"Gong De, there is something you may not know. Meng Yi, the guard captain next to Team 401 leader Fang Yuan, was also involved last night," Wei Yongcheng said.

"What do you want to say?"

"Gong De, this Meng Yi is Team Leader Fang's subordinate. His participation does it mean Team Leader Fang is also interested in this 'Xiang Hongyun'?" Wei Yongcheng asked.

"Military commander?"

"Yes, we all know that Team Leader Fang was born in the military. This time he came to the Fifth War Zone to help us fight against the Japanese army. But there is no guarantee that he will have any secret mission. If he is also here for this 'Xiang Hongyun', what if we If I had known it earlier..." Wei Yongcheng didn't speak clearly, but Li Delin could understand his thoughts.

Both the Fifth War Zone and the Gui Clan have inherited a lot of favors from Luo Yao. If they can repay this favor with someone who has no use for the 'Fifth War Zone', this deal can be considered a very good deal.

"But the person is already in Zhang Yuanliang's hands. What's the use of saying this now?" Li Delin also hates Zhang Yuanliang, but he is the commander of the fifth theater and cannot follow his own preferences. As long as he doesn't like people, he will Even if you drive them all away, that won’t do.

Even the emperor cannot ensure that all the ministers under him are liked and agree with him.

"Gong De, you said you wanted to see Councilor Jin, Zhang Yuanliang wouldn't let you go, right?" Wei Yongcheng said in a low voice.

Li Delin glared at Wei Yongcheng, clearly using himself to set a trap for Zhang Yuanliang.

If he gave an order saying that he wanted to see "Jin Zhaofu", Zhang Yuanliang would definitely not dare to disobey the order and would have to obediently send him over.

In this way, Wei Yongcheng will have a chance.

But how could he, the dignified commander of the fifth theater and one of the two giants of the Guangxi faction, do such a thing?

If this matter spreads, it will definitely damage his reputation.

Even if you want to send a favor, there is no need to use this method.

"Director Wei, don't mention this matter. Team Leader Fang, don't worry about it. Let them handle the matters between the military commander and the central commander by themselves. As long as no lives are lost, you don't have to worry about it." Li Delin ordered. .

"Are you asking us to sit on a mountain and watch a tiger fight?" Wei Yongcheng said in surprise.

"We can't help anyone now. If we help Team Leader Fang, it may not be a good thing for him. If this matter is really related to him, as long as he talks to me, I will definitely not refute his face. But he didn't say it, so why should we point it out?" Li Delin said.

Wei Yongcheng nodded, understanding Li Delin's intention. These two families were not good people anyway, so he might as well let them fight to the death.

"Okay, wait and see if this gets better, but you must pay attention to protecting the safety of the 401 team. If something happens to them, it will be a big disaster." Li Delin ordered.

"Yes, Duke De, I understand." Wei Yongcheng nodded.

"Gong De, Zhang Yuanliang wants to see you!"

When Li Delin heard this, he glanced at Wei Yongcheng in surprise. What was going on? Zhang Yuanliang came to see him at this time. Could something have happened?

"Gong De, my subordinate..."

"No, you are the director of the Political Department, and Zhang Yuanliang is nominally your subordinate. He came to me to report on his work, and you can listen to it." Li Delin raised his hand and interrupted Wei Yongcheng.

"Invite him to come over." Li Deling ordered her adjutant Liu Yingcai.

Zhang Yuanliang followed Liu Yingcai in and saw that Wei Yongcheng was also there. He was slightly stunned for a moment, then regained his composure and saluted Li Delin: "Gong De."

"Yuanliang, what's the matter? You've been running to me every now and then for the past three days?" Li Delin asked.

"Gong De, Councilor Jin Zhaofu is dead." After saying that, Zhang Yuanliang raised his head slightly and glanced at Wei Yongcheng.

"Deputy Director Zhang, what do you think of me? You brought me back yesterday, what does it have to do with me?" Wei Yongcheng suddenly became furious.

Li Delin's face turned cold. He believed that Wei Yongcheng did not have the guts to kill Jin Zhaofu, and besides, he did not have such a motive.

unless……

Impossible, he has too many opportunities and would not choose this time, and he knows Wei Yongcheng well.

But now that someone is dead, the problem becomes huge. The cause of death must be found out. Otherwise, how can we explain to the mountain city?
