Chapter 614 Indissoluble bond
Qiandu, Mao Mansion.
In the middle of the night, a radio station with the call sign of the bird poisoning assassination team received a transmission.
Kong Ling said angrily, "Little white face! You said the radio station wouldn't work at night."
"Who knew this little devil wouldn't sleep in the middle of the night?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly, and hurriedly got up to copy and translate the long telegram:
"Poisonous bird! Doihara Xian'er is determined to fight Chu Xi to the death. The plan to assassinate Chu Xi is cancelled. You will sneak into Chongqing and contact the super agent codenamed "Thief". Assist him in obtaining intelligence on Chongqing's weather and anti-aircraft artillery forces, assist the imperial aircraft in bombing, and eliminate all unfavorable factors that threaten his safety. Report after arriving in Chongqing. Three birds!"
Xiang Chu handed the telegram to Kong Ling and said bitterly: "Dear! This 'thief' must be a Japanese spy lurking among the high-ranking officials of our army in Chongqing. He must be found and brought to justice."
Kong Ling took the telegram and read it, then nodded and said, "The Japanese planes are frantically bombing Chongqing now. This Japanese spy lurking in Chongqing is really abominable, but how do you find him?"
Xiang Chu replied to Qing Mu Renchun that he had received the telegram, and said thoughtfully: "I can't go back to Chongqing, so I'll pass the telegram to Sister Xi tomorrow and ask her to pass it to Dai Nong and ask the Military Control Commission to find the 'thief'."
Kong Ling shook her head and said, "You don't have to ask Sister Xi for everything. She's pregnant and can't be too tired. Besides, it's hard to explain it. I'll send everything to Dai Nong tomorrow and let the Military Control Bureau arrest him."
Xiang Chu said worriedly: "But what if there are Japanese spies in the Military Intelligence Bureau?"
Kong Ling said angrily, "Little white face! You are fighting on the front line and trying to catch Japanese spies in the rear. Aren't you tired? Hurry up and turn off the radio and go to sleep."
"All right!"
Xiang Chu accepted the order reluctantly.
Kong Ling said unhappily, "I miss my fifty thousand so much."
Xiang Chu laughed and said, "How can we play mahjong at this time?"
Kong Ling said coquettishly: "Wu Wan is my daughter's nickname."
"I really..."
Xiang Chu wanted to cry but had no tears.
Kong Ling knew that he was already broken-down, so she changed the subject and said with a smile, "Five thousand of her father! Even the three birds in Fusang know your whereabouts. You can't stay in Qiandu for long. You have to leave early tomorrow morning."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! Everything is up to the Inspector and Wuwan's mother."
"Okay! How dare you scold me."
Kong Ling roared like a lion, and Yu Xiaowan in the next room heard it and was deeply worried about Xiang Chu.
At noon the next day, Xiang Chu led the elite commando team to wait on the Hunan-Guizhou Highway.
Soon, a large force of the 34th Army came from the west.
Kong Ling looked at the troops with various uniforms and sparse styles under the flag of the Chinese National Volunteer Army, and frowned, "General Xiang! Why are our troops so bad? Can they go to war?"
Xiang Chu laughed and said, "Everything is a cover-up, all deliberately pretending to be weak."
Kong Ling picked up the telescope and observed, sneering, "It's terrible!"
Shicheng, outside the county government office.
Doihara Kenji was selling pork and dates while weaving straw sandals, playing the three roles of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei at the same time, which was extremely challenging.
Takahashi Daisho held Guan Gong's broadsword in his hand, with an expression that showed he had lost all hope in life.
Yamashita Yoshiaki received and sent telegrams on the spot. He handed the translated message to Doihara Kan'ei and said with a smile, "Your Excellency the great lieutenant general! The agent lurking in China and Guizhou sent a message."
Doihara Ken'er was weaving straw sandals when it came to the critical moment, and he ordered:
"Ji Qiu! Read it."
Yamashita Yoshiaki whispered, "Chief! After several days of tracking and observation by 'Little Black Dog', we found that the 34th Army of China is dressed in all kinds of clothes, sings and dances along the way, men and women talk about love, and their style is extremely sparse. They are the worst troops in China at present, and there is really no need to worry about them! Little Black Dog!"
Doihara Ken'er jumped up with joy and said with great delight: "Yoshi! It seems that the Chinese 34th Army has inherited the fine traditions of the rubbish 34th Division. This brigade commander has decided not to go to Xiangxi to fight them because the victory is unfair."
Yamashita Yoshiaki suggested: "Your Excellency Lieutenant General! Should we send a telegram to the Chinese Supreme Command to cancel the rubbish 34th Army hunting at Chibi with Chu Xi?"
Doihara Ken'er nodded and said, "Yoshi! Send a clear message to the Chinese Supreme Command that my brigade will not join the hunt at Chibi with the rubbish 34th Army. We will replace it with another unit to join the hunt in Xiangbei."
"Hello!"
Yamashita Yoshiaki bowed and accepted the order.
Doihara Kan'er said with great melancholy: "Alas! It's a terrible feeling to have no opponent."
Takahashi Taisho hurriedly persuaded, "Mr. Commander! Didn't you say that there would be troops controlled by the Trojans and bandits from western Hunan to cooperate with you in fighting the 34th Army? Why did you voluntarily give up the decisive battle with the 34th Army?"
"There's no point in defeating a rubbish army!"
Doihara Ken'er shook his head. Seeing that he was wearing warm leather shoes, he threw the woven straw sandals to him and shouted, "Takahashi Taisho! Is it possible that the straw sandals I woven are not good? Change them quickly."
"Hello!"
Takahashi Taisho reluctantly put on his straw sandals, hoping to give Doihara Ken'er a tough challenge, so he suggested, "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander! Why don't you ask Commander Okamura Ninchi to arrange a Chinese ace as an opponent for our army? This will show your outstanding military talent."
"Yoshi! Your suggestion is very good."
Doihara Ken'er nodded and told Yamashita Yoshiaki,
"Ji Qiu! Send a telegram to Okamura Ningchi and ask him to arrange a Chinese ace army for our army as the direction of attack."
"Hello!"
Yamashita Yoshiaki bowed and accepted the order, then sent another telegram.
Not long after, he received a call back from Chongqing: "It's still the 34th Army. You can fight or not!"
Soon, he received another call back from Okamura Ningchi: "The 34th Army of China is a top-tier ace army, go and fight."
"Baga! I'm so pissed off."
Doihara Kenji was so angry that he jumped up and roared,
"Why is the 34th Army clinging to this Lieutenant General like a dog-skin plaster?"
Yamashita Yoshiaki said with a smile: "Your Excellency Lieutenant General! Since this is your destiny, you might as well learn to accept it."
Doihara Xian'er nodded helplessly and said, "Okay! It seems that this lieutenant general really has an indissoluble bond with Lord Chu."
Chongqing, Office of the Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
Dai Nong took the stack of telegrams handed over by Jiang Ying and asked softly, "Director Jiang! Lin Qiaoer has not seen these telegrams, right?"
Jiang Ying said with a smile: "Director! Don't worry, Lin Qiao'er is in the archives room and can't access these telegrams."
"That's good!"
Dai Nong said with a sense of relief, paused, and asked in confusion,
"Could the 'thief' mentioned in Miss Kong's telegram be the man from the Sichuan Army's anti-aircraft artillery unit that we investigated before?"
Jiang Ying nodded and said, "It is very likely that he is the one, but he has a strong background and we don't have any evidence, so we can't just arrest him rashly."
Dai Nong said thoughtfully, "Let's wait a few days for Lord Chu to send us another telegram."
"Ugh——!"
At this moment, the air raid alarm suddenly sounded outside.
Dai Nong took a look at the fine weather outside and said bitterly, "The damn Japanese bombers are here to bomb again, and the weather is so good. It must be the weather information provided by the 'thief'."
Jiang Ying suggested, "Director! I heard from Director Ning of the Ordnance Department that the Japanese planes might use incendiary bombs to bomb Chongqing. Our wooden houses will not be able to withstand the fire. The whole city will be burned down."
Dai Nong said disdainfully: "Ning Changde is a freeloader, how can you trust his words?"
Jiang Ying smiled bitterly and said, "He said it was Lord Chu who said that."
"Ah?! What did Lord Chu say?"
Dai Nong was shocked when he heard this and quickly picked up the phone to make a call.
