Chapter 1043 The last moment
The Japanese occupied Yichang and overhauled the airport nearby.
The number of planes coming from Yichang for air raids became more and more frequent.
Xiang Chu advised: "Everyone! Let's go into the air-raid shelter."
Commander Feng said unhappily: "Mr. Chu! Don't be afraid! Look at the power of our anti-aircraft artillery."
Li Longyun echoed, "Don't worry! Once our anti-aircraft artillery fires, the Japanese bombers will flee."
Xiang Chu sneered and said, "I believe it too! If the meeting is over, I suggest that everyone leave the meeting room and go into the air-raid shelter. This meeting room is not inside the mountain and is also very dangerous."
Governor Jiang conveyed the message: "Today's meeting ends here. Do you have any questions?"
Commander Feng was disgusted that Xiang Chu did not trust his air defense forces, and raised his hand hastily and said, "I have a question."
Governor Jiang nodded and said, "Please speak!"
Outside the conference room, air raid sirens blared and people were evacuating to air raid shelters in an emergency.
Everyone in the conference room was unable to move and listened to Chief Feng asking questions slowly and calmly.
Commander Feng coughed and said slowly:
"Everyone! Since the Red Party's troops are so good at fighting, why not let them go to recover Peking and Nanjing and fight to the death with the devils and puppet troops, and we will reap the benefits."
Everyone echoed: "Yes! Let them fight."
The voices in the conference room were one-sided, as if the Red Party troops were being used as cannon fodder.
A person's thinking can easily be influenced by others and make decisions that should not be made.
Xiang Chu was anxious in his heart, but he smiled calmly and said, "Have you ever thought about this? Now you are the leader of the war of resistance, and the National Army is the main force of the war. If the Red Party is allowed to take the lead and steal the show, then the people's hearts will turn to the Red Party."
Everyone was immediately speechless, as this was the biggest taboo for some people.
The conference room was silent, and the sound of bombers came closer and closer.
The sounds of bombing were one after another, and the sound of anti-aircraft fire seemed so sparse.
Xiang Chu said anxiously: "Everyone, retreat quickly! The Japanese bombers are coming towards us."
After saying this, he took Song Xi's hand, stood up, and was about to leave.
Everyone on the rostrum listened to him and hurriedly chose to leave.
Li Longyun said sarcastically, "Mr. Chu! It seems that you are the least courageous person here."
Xiang Chu sneered, "I'm a coward? If you have the guts, don't leave."
Li Longyun said arrogantly: "Of course I won't leave! Our anti-aircraft guns are imported from the Soviet Union, and they will definitely be able to shoot down the Japanese planes."
Commander Feng echoed, "Colonel Li! This general will stay in the conference room with you."
Minister Chen said with a smile: "Everyone! There is no need to joke with your life, let's go quickly."
Commander Feng said stubbornly, "No! We will not leave. Our anti-aircraft guns will surely shoot down all the Japanese bombers."
Xiang Chu shook his head, didn't argue with them, and walked out of the conference room with Song Xi.
Song Xi is pregnant, and it would be bad if someone bumped into her if the meeting room got chaotic.
At this time, Ma Chunfang rushed in and rushed into the meeting room and shouted loudly:
"Commanders! Our anti-aircraft artillery positions were bombed by Japanese bombers, causing heavy losses."
Commander Feng asked anxiously, "How many Japanese planes were shot down?"
Ma Chunfang shook his head and said, "No, let's retreat quickly, the Japanese planes are heading here."
Li Longyun muttered to himself: "Why were all our anti-aircraft guns bombed?!"
"Hoo!"
Those who did not believe Xiang Chu's words immediately scattered.
Commander Feng and Li Longyun stubbornly stayed in the conference room, trying to save some face for themselves.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise.
An aerial bomb fell and exploded close to the window of the conference room, blowing out the window and sending glass, broken stones and shrapnel flying across the bodies and faces of Commander Feng and Li Longyun.
"what--!"
Li Longyun was hit by multiple shrapnel and screamed:
"Help!"
Commander Feng was experienced in combat and lay down in time, but he was still scratched by broken glass on his fat face. His face was covered with blood and he shouted, "Someone come and save me."
Jiang Yong led the military police into the meeting room and dragged the two men out of the rubble.
Commander Feng was fine, but Li Longyun was a disabled person.
Zeng Mansion, underground secret room.
Zeng Yun said happily: "Great! Thanks to Lao San's accurate intelligence, the Imperial aircraft destroyed all the air defense forces around Chongqing this time."
Qing Mu Lianhua said worriedly, "Uncle! You let the third brother openly investigate the air defense forces around Chongqing. This will expose him too easily."
Zeng Yun said disapprovingly: "Don't worry! Li Longyun is pursuing the third brother and took the initiative to invite her to the army. No one can doubt her."
Qing Mu Lianhua shook her head and said, "Why not just blow up the Political Department meeting room? If we can eliminate the Chinese top brass, we won't have to continue this battle."
Zeng Yun smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course it exploded. Call the third brother and ask about her under the pretext of being concerned about her safety."
At this moment, the phone in the room rang.
Qing Mu Lianhua smiled and said, "No need to ask, it was the third brother who called."
After she finished speaking, she picked up the phone, and the overbearing Lin Qiaoer's anxious voice came from it:
"Sister! Where is our uncle? The Japanese planes bombed the Political Department meeting room and Li Longyun was crippled. They insisted that I had revealed our army's anti-aircraft positions."
Zeng Yun hurriedly took the phone and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, it has nothing to do with you. Who else was injured in the bombing of the conference room?"
Lin Qiaoer smiled bitterly and said, "Only Li Longyun and Commander Feng were injured. Commander Feng is fine, but Li Longyun was crippled. Uncle! Ma Chunfang kept asking me about the situation in Hanzhong. It seems that she suspected that I did not go to Hanzhong, but my elder sister took my place.
In addition, Dai Nong asked me about some of the circumstances on the day Ren Jie was assassinated, and it seemed that they all suspected us.”
Zeng Yun calmed down and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid! We haven't done anything wrong, so we are not afraid of being investigated."
"All right!"
The domineering Lin Qiaoer said weakly and hung up the phone helplessly.
At this moment, a radio message came from the underground secret room.
Qing Mu Lianhua hurriedly copied and translated the message, and said in surprise:
"Uncle! Nanzao Yunzi received a tip from an informant that Mr. China was furious about the destruction of the air defense force and the attack on the political department's meeting room. After investigation, the Military Intelligence Bureau arrested suspects on a large scale and wanted to take action against us. They said that this time, no matter what, they must capture one of the three Lin Qiao'ers."
Zeng Yun took the telegram from her and said helplessly:
"Miss! The second brother is far away in Hanzhong, and the third brother works in the Political Department. If the Military Control Commission comes, they will definitely arrest you."
Qing Mu Lianhua nodded and said, "Indeed! I have been lurking in the rear of China for so long, and today has finally come to the final moment. Alas!"
Zeng Yun suggested: "Miss! Why don't you return to Shanghai and take back the position of leader of Qingmumen from Nanzao Yunzi. Compared with other honors and dignity, the position of leader of Qingmumen is the most noble."
Qing Mu Lianhua nodded and said, "Yes! But if I am allowed to return to Shanghai, I will definitely find a way to kill Nan Zao Yunzi, so that I can regain the position of the leader and the position of the head of the Special High Section as soon as possible."
At this time, the room phone rang again.
Zeng Yun picked up the phone, and the guard at the door reported anxiously:
"Minister! Dainong has arrived at the door with a large number of secret agents and wants to see the young lady."
Zeng Yun said without hesitation: "Tell Dai Nong that the young lady is away on a long trip."
The guard smiled bitterly and said, "Dai Nong said he brought a search warrant, so we must search."
Zeng Yun said anxiously: "Okay! I'll be there right away."
After saying this, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
Qing Mu Lianhua smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle! I'd better leave through the tunnel immediately. Judging from Dai Nong's personality, he must have obtained Mr. China's warrant before he dared to come and search for me in person with such fanfare."
Zeng Yun nodded helplessly and said, "Okay!"
After he finished speaking, he tapped a brick on the wall and a secret door opened.
Qing Mu Lianhua picked up the suitcase that had been prepared long ago and slipped into the secret door...
