Chapter 209
The lazy man has packed his luggage. This afternoon, he will take the Duke of Ferrançois of the British Royal Navy to Chizhou. For a long time from now on, he will stay in Chizhou to be responsible for the batches of supplies transported from Shanghai, and then try to transport these supplies to western Zhejiang batches and hand them over to the national army in the Third War Zone.
If you find an opportunity, the lazy man will perform an assassination mission.
The lazy man opened the drawer, took out the Browning pistol from the inside and put it in the trunk, and then closed the suitcase. When he was about to go out, a knock on the door suddenly sounded outside the door. The lazy man's face changed and he immediately took out the pistol from the box, then pulled the bolt, and hid behind the door as fast as possible.
The knock on the door twice and did not stop, then three more times.
The expression on the lazy man's face immediately relaxed and opened a crack in the door.
Seeing that the station was Chen Gongshu, the stationmaster of the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station, the lazy man's face suddenly darkened. Chen Gongshu would not usually show up in public. Now he showed up in public. Some sudden situation must have occurred. Could it be that Jisifei No. 76 launched another major action?
Chen Gongshu flashed through the crack in the door, and the lazy man quickly closed the door.
Chen Gongshu looked at the empty room, took off the wide-brimmed top hat on his head, and said in a deep voice: "The situation has changed, your itinerary has been postponed."
The lazy man nodded and looked at Chen Gongshu with a consultation look.
Chen Gongshu said again: "Longnu, the stationmaster of Longkou Station, just sent another telegram. She proposed a bold idea, preparing to transport the military supplies we purchased from more than 20 foreign companies to Tongling Port at one time, and then transfer to Longkou by land from Tongling Port. Although this idea seems very unpredictable, I think it is still worth a try.
The lazy man said in a terrifying manner: "Transport all the supplies at one time? I'm afraid it's hard to hide this from the eyes and ears of Jisifei No. 76."
Chen Gongshu said: "Of course it can't hide it from them, but this time, we don't need to hide it and just load the ship."
The lazy man frowned and said, "If we can't hide the information from Jisifei No. 76, how can we avoid being intercepted by the Japanese army after the materials are landed in Tongling? Is the Third War Zone ready to counterattack Tongling County?"
Chen Gongpeng said: "It's not the Third War Zone, but the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui?"
"What, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui?" the lazy man said in a deep voice, "Xu Shijiu?"
"Yes, Xu Shijiu." Chen Gongshu nodded and said, "I guess you have already understood his background? What do you think of this little Japanese tiger in southern Anhui that is very scared of?"
The lazy man shook his head, then nodded again, and said in a deep voice: "I have to say that this idea is indeed worth trying."
Although the lazy man did not say it clearly, his implication was already very obvious, that is, he also saw this combat operation of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.
But then, the lazy man immediately asked: "But the webmaster, are you really planning to give such a large batch of military supplies to the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army? If you really do this, the bureau chief and Chairman Jiang will not explain it well? After all, our military commander has spent a lot of effort on this batch of supplies."
"Of course this batch of supplies will not be cheaper Xu Shijiu." Chen Gongshu smiled sinisterly and continued, "This is why I am in a hurry to come and keep you. Let's give Xu Shijiu a secret."
"Cover the world?" asked the lazy man with great interest, "How can one hide the world from Haifa?"
Chen Gongshu said: "According to the telegram sent by Longnu, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui will launch an attack on Chizhou and Tongling at the same time in seven days. Then the materials will need to be sent from Shanghai two days in advance. In this way, when the materials arrive at Tongling through the water, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui will also recover Tongling, and the materials will be successfully delivered."
The lazy man took out a box of cigarettes, popped out one and handed it to Chen Gongshu.
Chen Gongshu waved his hand and continued, "I have contacted the US-British Tobacco Company. They will prepare two ships. One of the merchant ships will go to Tongling Pier five days later, two days before the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui launched the spring offensive, under the escort of the US Navy, the US Navy Cobbens. This ship is just a fake target. Another merchant ship that actually consigns supplies will set off half a day in advance. You and the entire operation team will follow this ship."
The lazy man took a puff of cigarette and asked again, "What?"
Chen Gongshu said: "Then you have to find a way to unload the supplies in Niu Touzui between Tongling and Chizhou. I will contact Commander-in-Chief Gu of the Third War Zone first and ask him to send troops to respond to Niu Touzui."
The lazy man put out the cigarette butts and nodded, "I understand."
(Split Line)
As time goes by, the situation in southern Anhui becomes increasingly tense.
Starting three or four days ago, the 19th Detachment of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui and the Southern Anhui Detachment began to launch a large-scale attack on various strongholds and artillery towers in Qingyang County, Chizhou and Tongling County. Faced with the powerful offensive of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui, Haneda wisely chose to shrink his troops and conserve several county towns and main strongholds.
Starting from today, the main groups of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui began to assemble towards Chizhou.
But for some reason, Haneda vaguely felt that things might not be that simple.
Looking at the map on the wall, Haneda fell into deep thought again. He wanted to draw a way out of his mind, but the whole situation was in chaos, and he could not understand Xu Shijiu's true intentions at all.
"Puff." The sound of matches shining suddenly sounded. Haneda turned around and her eyes fell on the man sitting in the corner. The man was as thin as if he could fall down with the wind. He was wearing a large windbreaker, but he showed his thinness. A face with protruding cheekbones was almost completely hidden in the collar of the windbreaker.
Haneda frowned instinctively. The feeling this guy gave him was not good.
However, the other party was sent by the agent headquarters of the No. 76, Shanghai. Although Haneda was a Japanese, she could not act too much. She asked the man immediately, "Old Cat, do you have any opinions?"
The old cat raised his collar, making his face more hidden into the shadow, and then said: "It's obvious that Xu Shijiu's intention is not to drink."
"The drunkard's intention is not wine?" Haneda thought he was a Chinese master and had enough understanding of Chinese culture, but Lao Mao's words still made him unable to understand them at once. It was not until a moment later that Haneda realized the key and said in a terrifying manner, "Are you saying that the intention of the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was not Chizhou, but that batch of military supplies?"
Lao Mao ran to Chizhou from Shanghai headquarters, of course, not to help Haneda resolve the spring offensive of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui. Lao Mao's only purpose of coming to Chizhou was to prevent the batch of military supplies consigned by the US-British Tobacco Company from falling into the hands of any Chinese armed forces. Lao Mao did not conceal his mission from Haneda.
"This is obvious." Lao Mao said sneered, "There are heavy troops in Chizhou. If Xu Shijiu and his courage, he would not dare to really attack Chizhou. If he really came, he would undoubtedly hit the stone with eggs. Therefore, Xu Shijiu's intention could only attract the attention of the Imperial Army so that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui can successfully receive the batch of materials transported from Shanghai."
Haneda obviously didn't believe it and asked in a deep voice: "Old cat, do you have any evidence?"
"I have no evidence." Lao Mao shrugged, and then continued, "However, the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army suddenly launched an offensive against Chizhou at this time, and the batch of military supplies were sent from Shanghai tonight. Colonel, don't you think this is a bit too coincidental?"
Haneda frowned in an instant.
It's a coincidence, but this is really a coincidence.
If the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui really wanted to attack Chizhou, why didn’t they fight before and wait until now? Why did they have to wait until the large number of military supplies secretly purchased by the Military Control Commission to attack Chizhou after they were sent out from Shanghai? This makes people wonder whether the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui really made a bluff to successfully receive this batch of supplies?
Lao Mao continued: "If I was not mistaken, the real intention of Xu Shijiu and the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui would definitely not be Chizhou City, but Tongling County downstream of Chizhou. As long as Tongling County is captured Tongling County, the Merchant Ship of the American-British Tobacco Company can successfully dock and moor, and the batch of military supplies can be delivered smoothly."
"Tongling?" Haneda turned around and looked at the map on the wall behind him, pondering without saying a word.
Intuition is telling Haneda that Xu Shijiu's idea is so simple.
