Chapter 596: Sniper Assassination
Ning Caiwei said bitterly: "You're sick to come to someone's house and cause trouble on New Year's Eve!"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "It's New Year's Day, I really don't want to kill this traitor."
Ning Changde was afraid that he would kill Long Sheng, so he said hurriedly:
"Xiao Xiang! Don't show up. I'll send him away."
After saying this, he walked out of the living room, came to the courtyard gate, and said with a smile:
"Lieutenant General Long! Lord Chu went to Miss Song's place and didn't come."
Long Sheng roared loudly: "He killed my father, I want revenge on him."
Ning Changde shook his head and said, "Lieutenant General Long! He didn't kill your father. Everyone knows that Chu Xi flew back to Chongqing at 3 pm and shot down 23 Japanese bombers in one go before landing."
Long Sheng roared loudly: "Is it a big deal to shoot down 23 Fuso planes?"
A man behind him shouted angrily: "Of course it's amazing. If you have the guts, go shoot one down and see."
Long Sheng turned around and saw a young man in a major general's uniform behind him, who angrily asked, "Who are you?"
The young man said coldly: "Zhang Fei! Deputy Commander of the 34th Division."
Long Sheng sneered, "The rubbish deputy commander of the 34th Division is not even worthy of carrying shoes for the elite 1st Mixed Division."
Zhang Fei sneered, "If you have the guts, go to the battlefield and compete, don't just show off your prowess with words."
More and more people gathered around, and Ye Guang whispered:
"Master! Let's go. Chu Xi is definitely not here."
Long Sheng turned his head and looked somewhere behind him, then turned around and walked into the car.
Ye Guang hurriedly got into the car, and Li Jin drove the car, taking the two away.
Xiang Chu had been observing by the window, and following the direction that Long Sheng had turned his head to look, he saw a man lying on the roof opposite, holding a sniper rifle in his hand with the muzzle pointing at the gate of the courtyard.
Long Sheng left, and the man on the opposite roof also left quickly.
Xiang Chu thought to himself: "This Long Sheng actually wants to kill me!"
At this time, Ning Changde and Zhang Fei walked into the living room.
Zhang Fei said happily: "Brother Xiang! Thank you for promoting me to be the deputy division commander."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "If I don't promote you, who should I promote?"
Ning Xiaoquan said happily: "Zhang Fei! Come over to eat and have a few drinks with uncle."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Uncle! I've finished my meal. I'll talk to Brother Xiang and then I'll leave."
"Come! Go to the study."
Ning Caiwei said anxiously, opening the study next door.
"Caiwei! Chat with Zhang Fei together."
Xiang Chu smiled, and the three of them entered the study together and closed the door.
Zhang Fei took out a stack of photos and said with a wry smile, "Brother Xiang! Sister-in-law! This is the top-secret file I secretly took of Xu Zeng. When the White Party saw that the situation was not so tense, they began to turn their attention to dealing with our party and the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, and even issued a special "Measures for Handling the Activities of Alien Parties."
After Xiang Chu finished looking at the photo, he handed it to Ning Caiwei and said bitterly, "The coastal areas are now blocked and a large number of people have surrendered. The war of resistance has reached its most difficult moment, but you are still busy with these things. It's extremely hateful."
Ning Caiwei looked through the photos and shook her head, "The White Party is so jealous of our anti-Japanese base behind enemy lines, why don't they send some troops behind enemy lines?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "The White Party is reluctant to give up its ace troops, but it has to guard against the miscellaneous troops. The troops have no discipline and cannot maintain good relations with the people. They cannot stay behind enemy lines."
Ning Caiwei smiled and said, "Yeah! Come to think of it, it is indeed the case."
Zhang Fei said thoughtfully: "Brother Xiang! I've been hearing Xu Zeng complaining at meetings recently, saying that the White Party leaders handed over a heavyweight surrender figure of our party to Dainong instead of to him. Who could this big shot be?"
Xiang Chu had not been in Chongqing for a long time and didn't know what was going on, so he looked at Ning Caiwei.
Ning Caiwei said without hesitation: "Guo Tao has betrayed the revolution and is now in an important position in the White Party and has been appointed as a lieutenant general. It is said that he is now thinking about how to deal with our party when he eats, sleeps, and walks.
A 'Special Political Staff Training Class' was also set up in the Military Control Commission to train spies targeting our party and infiltrate our party's rear areas. I have reported this to my hometown..."
Xiang Chu waited for her to finish, then smiled bitterly and said, "Caiwei! This Guo Tao passed through Shanghai more than ten years ago. My master, I, and several comrades once ensured his safety during his trip.
If he had been paying attention at that time, he might have known that I was the Phoenix. "
"what?!"
Ning Caiwei and Zhang Fei were stunned.
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "But it's been so many years, he might not recognize me."
Ning Caiwei said anxiously: "For safety reasons, try to avoid meeting him."
Zhang Fei recalled something and said, "Brother Xiang! The Military and Central Bureaus are competing to place spies in various units. I went to the 34th Division, and Xu Zeng specifically told me to monitor the 34th Division and report any suspicion of collusion with the Communists immediately."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Xiang Chu quickly put the photo into his pocket.
Ning Buqu smiled and said, "Brother-in-law! Dai Nong called to find you."
"He followed pretty closely."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly, walked out of the study, picked up the phone in the living room and said with a smile,
"Acting Director! Happy New Year."
Dai Nong heard him being so formal and changed his address, "Happy New Year, Mr. Chu! I am very impressed by your superb aerial combat skills today."
Xiang Chu smiled and asked, "Acting Director! You must have something to ask Chu."
Dai Nong smiled and said, "Mr. Chu is really as good as a god. We have organized a training class. Can you spare some time to give a lesson to the students?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Acting Director! I can't help you. You know my situation is difficult, and there are many people who want to assassinate me. Just now, Long Sheng found the door of my house and sent a sniper to ambush on the roof opposite. If it wasn't the New Year, I would have killed him."
Dai Nong said with a wry smile, "Long Sheng is just like his father, so he should be destroyed. I'm really sorry for not thinking carefully about the lecture. By the way! Does your 34th Division need any more outstanding agents?"
Xiang Chu refused without hesitation: "Not for the time being, my men are all from our military control, and now we need soldiers who dare to charge and die."
Dai Nong felt bored, so he exchanged a few pleasantries and hung up the phone.
Xiang Chu returned to the study, closed the door, and said with a wry smile: "Zhang Fei is right. Dainong wants to plant people from the Military Control Commission into our 34th Division."
Ning Caiwei asked in confusion: "Brother Chu! Dai Nong knew you would object, so why did he bring it up?"
Xiang Chu said without hesitation: "He wanted to remind me that some people above are worried that the 34th Division is out of control. But I just want to hand this team over to my party in the end."
Ning Caiwei smiled and said, "No wonder you transferred Zhang Fei to be the deputy division commander. You had already planned it in advance."
"Of course!"
Xiang Chu said happily, patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder and said,
"Zhang Fei! You stay at my house for the next two days. When I finish my work in Chongqing, we'll fly back to Anlong together."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Brother Xiang! I'm used to being free and at ease, so I'd better live outside. I'll leave you my phone number, and you can let me know when you leave."
After that, he wrote down a phone number.
"All right!"
Xiang Chu did as he wished.
The next morning, Xiang Chu put on the lieutenant general's uniform and went to the Political Department with Ning Caiwei.
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Caiwei! I'll take you to the Central Party Office first."
Ning Caiwei said angrily, "Don't be so affectionate! You should go see Minister Chen."
Xiang Chu smiled disapprovingly and said, "It's rare for me to send you to work, so I might as well send you to the office. Besides, what if someone blocks the office door to pursue you like Wu Ze did back then?"
Ning Caiwei said angrily: "Where can it be?"
The two went up to the second floor, where Long Sheng was holding an exquisite gift box and standing at the door of Ning Caiwei's office with Ye Guang.
The two men were quite particular about their standing positions, one standing on each side, and they even left the main door facing the window open.
There is a green forest outside the window, so it is not a problem to hide a sniper.
Xiang Chu pulled Ning Caiwei back down the stairs and whispered, "Caiwei! These two people have bad intentions, and there might be snipers trying to kill us. Don't go over there, come with me to Minister Chen first."
"it is good!"
Ning Caiwei nodded hurriedly.
Xiang Chu pulled her and turned to go downstairs. Suddenly, he heard Dai Nong's voice coming from the lobby on the first floor: "Guo Tao! Let's go upstairs to see Minister Chen first."
