Chapter 463 Two Agents with Form but No Soul
The transport plane took off under the escort of four fighter jets, first passing through Shanxi, and then entering the mountain city from the direction of Hanzhong.
After Zhou Weiguo got off the plane at Shancheng Airport, he didn't quite understand what the purpose of his coming here was.
Confused, he caught up with Commander Yu in front of him and asked, "Commander, my independent regiment has only about a thousand people left this time out of thousands of people. At this time, I should be with them, what am I doing here?"
The Independent Regiment suffered more than 2,000 casualties in one battle. This had never happened before, but it happened this time.
And of the remaining more than a thousand people, except for the artillerymen, female soldiers and anti-aircraft machine gun troops who did not join the bayonet fight, all the others went up. These more than a thousand people include those who did not go to the battlefield.
It can be said that the infantry of the independent regiment were almost wiped out this time.
He shouldn't leave at this time.
"You ask me, who the hell should I ask?" Yu Huohuo didn't understand. Only one third of the 74th Army was left this time. Logically speaking, he should be with the 74th Army.
But the problem was that there was an order from the war zone that he needed to execute, and in the meantime, Commander Bai didn't say anything.
"How about you, old man..."
"Shut up, I dare not." Yu Huohuo was crazy, but facing the man who was able to stand on his own in the Northern Expedition, he really didn't dare to provoke him.
He didn't even dare to go, let alone the others.
Zhou Weiguo moved his lower lip and looked at Commander Bai not far away.
The people who came to greet him this time were all high-level officials, and many of their wives were also related to Xiao Ya.
"You go back to my residence first, and I will explain the situation to you when I come back." After talking to those people, Chief Bai motioned for them to go over and said.
Commander Bai has an official residence here, but its location is unclear. Zhou Weiguo said nothing now, so Yu Huohuo naturally agreed and said he would wait.
After Yu Huohuo said that he would definitely wait, Commander Bai looked at Xiao Ya who was beside Zhou Weiguo. "My wife heard that you were coming and has expressed her desire to see you. You can take them to meet her."
Chief Bai's wife is also a member of the foundation's board of directors. However, Xiao Ya and Chief Bai's wife did not have much contact in the past.
And this time, what Chief Bai said means that Xiao Ya can get to know more wives of high-ranking officials.
"Thank you, Commander Bai. I will take my sisters to meet them right away. I also want to meet my godmother and her family."
Xiao Ya, Chao Xiang Xiu Ling and a few others got on another truck and left under the escort of two trucks.
Only after they left did Yu Huohuo invite Zhou Weiguo and Takeshita Shun to go to Commander Bai's residence.
The mountain city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is not easy to be bombed by air forces. It has become a refuge for senior members of the command.
Although Commander Bai is not in the mountain city, he has an official residence in the mountain city. Zhou Weiguo doesn't know what to say about this place.
His position was halfway up the mountain, and the slope was concave, so his official residence happened to be here. It was a two-story Western-style building with side rooms on the east and west sides. Outside the door were three anti-aircraft machine guns deployed crosswise, and there was a company of soldiers below as outer guards. There were a few farmhouses in the middle.
But Zhou Weiguo took a closer look and found that these farmers were actually soldiers, and should be agents. They disguised themselves as civilians, but the military temperament in their bones could not be concealed.
This was proven when Deng Yaoxian came to visit in the afternoon.
Deng Yaoxian and Junzuo already knew each other, and they were old acquaintances.
He was drinking tea nearby, while Zhou Weiguo and Deng Laosi were chatting together.
"How do you know they are agents?" Deng Yaoxian was a little confused. These people were all under the responsibility of him as the station chief of Shancheng Station. Shancheng was now the headquarters location, and there were so many high-ranking officials here that one could not count them with ten hands. For this matter, he spent nearly a month and mobilized elite forces to protect the common people.
I didn't expect it. No one had noticed it for so long, but I didn't expect Zhou Weiguo to notice it.
This made him look at Du Xun who came with him with dissatisfaction. After all, it was Du Xun who did this.
"Fourth brother, don't look at me. There are not many Zhou Weiguo in this world." There are not many people as cunning as him. He is just an exception.
Zhou Weiguo looked at Du Xun. The aggrieved look on his face made him take the wine jug next to him and pour it for Deng Laosi.
Zhou Weiguo was grateful to Du Xun. On the eve of the fall of Nanjing, if Du Xun had not protected Xiao Ya all the way back to the mountain city, Xiao Ya's journey to the mountain city might have been very difficult, after all, she had no military position at that time. She was just going to deliver a suicide note to the Sichuan Army, and Du Xun was from the Lixing Society. His ID card allowed her to avoid any inspection along the way.
"Fourth brother, this matter has nothing to do with Du Xun. People who disguise themselves as ordinary people are actually very good. However, they only have the form but not the soul. Ordinary people really can't tell the difference. But if they meet some people with vicious eyes, their actions will reveal everything."
"It seems that I should ask you to help the Second Department train a group of personnel." Deng Yaoxian took a sip of wine and looked at Yu Huohuo next to him; "Lend it to me or not."
Yu Huohuo glanced at him and smiled, "The combat effectiveness of the 74th Army and the Independent Regiment is now gone. It cannot be restored within two months. During this period, I will loan them to you, but I will not lend them to you later."
With these words, it is done.
It just so happened that the Second Department was going to train a group of personnel in Hunan to be used for combat behind enemy lines, and disguise and lurking were inevitable in this process.
Since Zhou Weiguo could see that there was something wrong with the people guarding the commander-in-chief, then naturally, training them in camouflage was no problem.
"That's settled then." Deng Laosi smiled and decided on the person.
After finishing this matter, Yu Huohuo put down his empty cup of tea and knocked on the table and said to Deng Laosi, "By the way, what is the reason why the headquarters summoned several war zone commanders to Shancheng this time?"
As a core member of the Second Division, Deng Laosi was naturally aware of the operation in Shancheng this time.
"We can't stop them. Henan can no longer stop the Japanese army from joining forces. The purpose of the headquarters calling everyone here is to figure out how to deal with the problem of them forcing us to fight a decisive battle after they join forces this time."
"Does the headquarters have a direction?" When Yu Huohuo heard that it was this matter, he suddenly became much more serious.
Deng Yaoxian shook his head slightly; "Not yet. After all, we thought that with Commander Bai here and General Okamura Yasuji blowing up the dike, the Japanese headquarters would definitely delay for a while. But we didn't expect that after Ueda Kanekichi became the commander of the 11th Army, he would take drastic measures and completely interrupt our deployment. The incident happened suddenly and the headquarters could not find a solution. This is why they summoned several theater leaders back for a meeting."
At this point, Deng Laosi glanced at Zhou Weiguo and asked, "Weiguo, do you have any plan in mind?"
