Chapter 465: Showdown
Xiang Chu searched for Jiao Tu's jeep but still found nothing. He said regretfully, "What a shame! If we had caught him alive, we could have learned more about the Japanese' Trojan Horse Plan."
Song Xi comforted him, "Brother! The Japanese's 'Trojan Horses' are determined to die for their leaders and will not surrender. There is a potassium cyanide bag on Jiao Tu's collar. You should go home!"
"Okay! Go home."
Xiang Chu said happily and got into the car quickly.
The two drove back to Chuxi Yaju and met Minister Chen at the entrance of the cave.
Xiang Chu got out of the car and asked with a smile: "Minister! Do you want to take me to participate in the Battle of Wuhan?"
Minister Chen smiled and said, "You are really good at predicting things, but I don't need you to charge into battle. I just need you to provide me with battlefield intelligence, and then I can be sure of victory."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Okay! Give me a radio call sign, and the operator must be absolutely reliable, otherwise the information will be leaked and thousands of people will lose their lives."
Minister Chen patted him on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "You should still send the call sign used during the Battle of Shanghai. The radio operator will definitely have no problem."
"I'll trust you just this once."
Xiang Chu pretended to be reluctant, paused, and smiled, "Minister! Maybe I will lead the troops to shuttle between the enemy and our battlefields, don't be surprised then."
Minister Chen said without hesitation: "I will definitely be surprised! Just like Commander Li and Commander Bai during the Battle of Xuzhou, who brushed past your chariot and retreated in a swagger.
You even drove the Seya detachment into an encirclement and then fled. Only someone like you could do such a thing."
Xiang Chu cried and said, "You are still bringing up this wicked thing, but a good man does not brag about his past achievements. In the Battle of Wuhan, I plan to send a Japanese division into your encirclement. Don't blame me if you can't wipe them out completely."
Minister Chen said happily: "We will definitely be able to wipe them out completely!"
Xiang Chu pointed to the cloudy sky and said with a smile:
"If you tell a lie, you will be struck by lightning!"
After saying this, he turned and ran into the car.
Minister Chen yelled, "Secretary Song! Take care of your man."
"Boom!"
A thunderclap exploded above his head.
Song Xi smiled and said, "Minister! I'm afraid you really can't wipe them out completely."
After she finished speaking, she started the engine and drove towards Chuxiyaju.
Behind me, I heard Minister Chen's laughter and scolding:
"You two are birds of a feather!"
Song Xi and Ning Caiwei had already negotiated Xiang Chu's trip to Chongqing.
For safety reasons, I stayed at Song Xi's place during the day and returned to Lihua Mountain at night.
In the evening, he quietly returned to his home at the foot of Lihua Mountain.
In the Ning family's living room, dinner has been prepared and they are waiting for him to come back.
Ning Changde said happily: "When Dainong saw me being promoted to lieutenant general, his expression of envy and jealousy really made me feel great."
Baoer said with a smile: "Dad! What does double cool mean?"
Ning Changde waved his hand and said, "You are going to expose Dad's shortcomings again. Go to the air-raid shelter and see if your brother-in-law has come back. Your brother-in-law is really a talent. He lectures to the superiors and talks endlessly..."
Baoer ran to the air-raid shelter and shouted happily, "My benefactor brother-in-law!"
"Good boy!"
Xiang Chu picked him up and returned to the dining table.
As dinner started, Jiang Mei said worriedly, "Qu'er! Yui! Xiaoxiang! You are all going to Shanghai, and Yui is going to Ryukyu. Mom is really worried about you."
"Mom! We are on my plane and staying in my hotel. Don't worry."
Xiang Chu comforted her, took out the film agency ID and handed it to Yui, saying, "Sister-in-law! Take this ID and I'll ensure that you can return to Liuqiu without any obstacles."
Yui took the certificate and said gratefully, "Thank you, benefactor!"
Ning Buqu hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law! Give me one."
Xiang Chu also prepared it for him, took it out and handed it to him, saying: "Okay! Take it, it can still save your life if you encounter the devils."
Ning Changde laughed and said, "Xiao Xiang! I feel like you are issuing fake certificates."
Xiang Chu was afraid that he would want one too, so he nodded and said, "Yes! To issue a fake certificate."
Ning Changde asked with a smile: "Xiao Xiang! I heard that the Military Intelligence Bureau has a Japanese spy team leader who is disguised as a man?"
"A woman dressed as a man?!"
Everyone in the room exclaimed.
Xiang Chu asked in confusion: "Uncle! Who told you that?"
Ning Changde smiled and said, "Chen Tianxin said that Dai Nong was so angry that he almost jumped off the building."
Ning Caiwei asked with a smile: "Who caught it?"
Xiang Chu handed Jiao Tu's notebook to her and said with a wry smile, "Caiwei! This is the notebook of the female devil. It records everything clearly, such as when my father went out fishing, when my mother went out to buy groceries, when my uncle went out... "
"what?"
Everyone exclaimed.
Ning Xiaoquan smiled and said, "So it was Xiao Xiang who caught it."
Wu He asked anxiously, "Why did your uncle go out?"
Ning Changde did something he shouldn't have done and immediately became nervous.
"Uncle is out at work."
Ning Caiwei lied, returned the notebook to Xiang Chu, and changed the subject:
"Brother Chu! Can you leave two days later?"
Xiang Chu was afraid that Wu He would ask for the notebook, and he was unwilling to reveal his itinerary, so he stood up and said:
"Caiwei! Let's go upstairs. I want to tell you something."
"it is good!"
Ning Caiwei said happily.
They went upstairs and Xiang Chu explained to her the change in itinerary.
Ning Caiwei said worriedly, "Brother Chu! What if the Japanese hardliners send planes to attack the plane my brother and sister-in-law are on?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "No problem! I'll change the take-off time of the plane."
Ning Caiwei shook her head and said, "Japanese spies are everywhere. Maybe there are Japanese spies among the staff of Coral Dam Airport or the people living nearby. They will be in their control as soon as the plane takes off."
Xiang Chu thought for a moment and said, "Then let's fly directly to Shanghai. I'll inform both the enemy and our military and not let the International Department of the Japanese Cabinet Intelligence Bureau know."
Ning Caiwei asked worriedly, "But if you don't follow the orders of the International Department, will they do something bad to you?"
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter! If it doesn't work out, I will evacuate from Shanghai and return to you and the child."
Ning Caiwei threw herself into his arms and said quietly, "Brother Chu! Although I really want you to come back to me, the organization's business and intelligence work behind enemy lines need you more. Don't evacuate if you can."
Xiang Chu patted her shoulders and said helplessly, "Cai Wei! I will hold on for as long as I can. I feel more and more powerless."
The next morning, Coral Dam Airport.
Xiang Chu and Song Xi stood side by side, watching the Chaoxi No. 1 passenger plane take off and fly towards Shanghai.
Song Xi said thoughtfully: "Brother! Is it safe for Chaoxi 1 to fly like this?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "The militaries of both sides have already made arrangements. What's unsafe?"
Song Xi said unhappily: "I want to ask if you are safe?"
"It doesn't matter! There's a typhoon in Hong Kong, so we have to change our route."
Xiang Chu smiled and pulled her towards the car with a radio.
Song Xi looked at his watch and suggested, "Wait another 10 minutes before sending it. Even if the three birds receive the message, it will be too late to send fighter jets to intercept it."
"Well! Wait a little longer."
Xiang Chu nodded and saw an American fighter plane at the airport, and said whimsically,
"Sister Xi! If I drove that American fighter jet to Hong Kong, it would probably be much safer."
Song Xi said without hesitation: "Then you can fly it. That plane is too new and no one knows how to fly it anyway."
Xiang Chu said in great surprise: "Really?"
Song Xi said angrily: "When have I ever lied to you? And the weapons and fuel are all full."
Xiang Chu said happily: "Great! I'll send a telegram first."
After he finished speaking, he sent a message: "Three birds! Due to the typhoon in Hong Kong, Chaoxi No. 1 passenger plane will fly directly to Hong Kong. Shadow bird!"
Soon, the message came back: "Shadow Bird! Chaoxi No. 1 is not flying according to the prescribed route. If it is intercepted, it will bear the consequences at its own risk. Three birds!"
"Is this a showdown?"
Xiang Chu said bitterly.
Before he finished speaking, a loud speaker rang out from the tower: "Miss Song! Chaoxi No. 1 plane reports that two enemy planes are flying towards them, threatening to shoot down Chaoxi No. 1 plane."
Song Xi smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that there are Japanese spies at the airport. They reported it to the Japanese intelligence department as soon as the plane took off."
"I'll go up and shoot down the intercepting plane!"
Xiang Chu said bitterly and ran towards the new American plane.
