After the swearing-in meeting, Sun Dianying was mobilizing troops and generals to set up defense lines. At this moment, Liu Haiqing came to find him.
"General Sun, we are in trouble!" He said to Sun Dianying with a solemn expression.
"What's wrong?" Sun Dianying asked.
"Cui Xingwu and Li Shouxin of Lindong may surrender to the enemy." Liu Haiqing said solemnly, "Once they defect, the north road to Chifeng will be undefeated. The road will be smooth, and the Japanese will soon be at the gate!"
"My dear Cui Xingwu, I know that this turtle grandson is unreliable!" Sun Dianying immediately exploded when he heard this. He opened his mouth to curse.
He did not doubt Liu Haiqing's words at all, because he did not believe these two "friendly generals" in the first place.
If Cui Xingwu hadn't escaped without firing his shot, how could the important town of Kailu be lost so easily? How could the Japanese attack Chifeng so easily?
Although Cui Xingwu spoke beautifully and vowed to "make atonement for his sins," Sun Dianying, who is also a soldier, knew that even Cui Xingwu did not dare to fight under such good conditions in Kailu. Now the war situation is corrupt, and our advantages are all
No, how could Cui Xingwu suddenly have the courage to fight again?
From beginning to end, he had been wary and suspicious of this person, and now Liu Haiqing told him that Cui Xingwu's surrender to the enemy was just another boot.
"What's going on in Lin Dong now? Have the Zhe Peng people entered the city?" Sun Dianying quickly controlled her emotions after venting her anger and asked eagerly.
Liu Haiqing shook his head: "General Sun, now we just suspect that Cui Xingwu has defected to the enemy, but the matter has not been completely confirmed. Lin Dong is still in Cui Xingwu's hands. The purpose of my coming to report this matter to you is to ask you to give it to him personally.
Make a phone call, test him in the name of supervising the defense line, and ask him or Li Shouxin to come to Chifeng to attend a military meeting."
"Under normal circumstances, if you call, one of them will definitely come; but if these two people are really secretive, neither of them will dare to come, and they will make every excuse to evade it."
"Okay, I'll make this call now!" Sun Dianying immediately walked to the phone.
"General Sun, your tone must be as usual, don't let them hear any flaws." Liu Haiqing reminded hurriedly.
"Don't worry, you can tell people what they say, but you can tell ghosts when you see them!" Sun Dianying picked up the phone and dialed, "I understand this!"
Sun Dianying really understands it very well, and his acting is very good. Even Liu Haiqing didn't feel there was anything wrong with it at all.
But Cui Xingwu on the other side really found excuses to evade. First, he said that there seemed to be some movement in Zhepeng's army, and Li Shouxin went to investigate outside the city in person; he also said that he was cold and unwell, and it was difficult to travel by boat and carriage...
In short, there are all kinds of excuses.
Sun Dianying expressed his understanding, and said he would make a copy of the minutes of the meeting and send them to Cui Xingwu in the form of a telegram, so that he could take care of himself and take care of his troops' weapons and food and salary issues.
As soon as the phone was hung up, Sun Dianying's face suddenly changed. She banged the table and gritted her teeth and cursed: "Damn it, this turtle grandson has really surrendered to the enemy! Mader, I am now
So we sent troops to destroy him!"
Of course this is an angry talk. With the enemy in front of us, where is the time and opportunity to deal with the traitors?
But Liu Haiqing nodded in agreement: "Of course we have to send troops. It's best to send a brigade over now to prepare to receive Cui Xingwu and Li Shouxin's troops, reorganize them, then retreat, and mobilize another brigade to go to Lin
Change defense eastward."
These words made Sun Dianying stunned for a while, and then he waved his hands and said: "Okay, brother Liu, don't tease me, I'm just talking, where can I have time to talk to Cui Xingwu now? Oh, wait for me
When the troops pass by, they will fight directly with the Zhepeng people against the team I sent, who should I cry to when the time comes?"
"He has no chance." Liu Hai said calmly, "General Sun, now that it is confirmed that Cui Xingwu and Li Shouxin have surrendered to the enemy, these two traitors are doomed! What I just said was not a joke to you, but it is true.
I suggest you do this!”
"What do you mean?" Sun Dianying was a little surprised.
"What I mean is that patriots have sneaked into Lin Dong, and the two traitors Cui Xingwu and Li Shouxin may be killed at any time!" Liu Haiqing said solemnly, "The problem now is that we must seize the opportunity and take over immediately
Their troops, and then send additional troops to take over Lin Dong's defense. In this way, not only can the loss of the two traitors who surrendered to the enemy be recovered, but it will also be a blessing in disguise, solving hidden dangers and strengthening the defense line!"
"Patriot? Assassination?" Sun Dianying was a little surprised, "Your people? Are you prepared?"
Liu Haiqing shook his head: "They are not my people, but they have contact with me. These people are very capable. They have promised me that they will definitely take the heads of two traitors. General Sun, this opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back!"
We must send troops immediately, otherwise if it is too late and the two traitors die, it is very likely that their subordinates will directly lure the Zhepeng people into the city! In this way, the Zhepeng people will be able to capture it more easily without losing any blood.
Lin Dong!"
"You speak lightly, what if these patriots you mentioned fail?" Sun Dianying frowned and said, "Once they fail, they will alert the snake in advance and make Cui Xingwu and others switch sides in advance! If I send troops to change defenses at this time,
It’s basically just delivering food to people!”
"They will never fail!" Liu Haiqing stared at Sun Dianying and said seriously, "General Sun, I am not afraid to tell you that they were already lurking around Cui Xingwu and the others when they were in Kailu, just to prevent the day when they surrendered to the enemy.
!Cui Xingwu and the others are dead, this matter is absolutely foolproof!"
"No, I can't take risks." Sun Dianying looked uncertain, "There are seven or eight thousand people in a brigade, and I can't gamble with the lives of so many soldiers."
"But if we don't gamble, the good times will be gone!" Liu Haiqing said solemnly, "If we sit back and watch, and the patriotic man kills Cui Xingwu and Li Shouxin, nine times out of ten, their subordinates will
We will surrender directly to the Zhepeng people! When the north gate of Chifeng opens, the Japanese can march straight in! Once there are changes on the southern front, we will be attacked from both sides!"
"But if we seize this opportunity, the northern front will have no worries for the time being, and we can deal with the threat from the south with peace of mind! General Sun, this situation is beyond our dreams!"
Sun Dianying's expression was extremely tangled: "No, it still won't work. No matter how I think about it, I don't think it's reliable... How many times can assassination be successful? Not everyone is Wang Yaqiao, let alone Wang Yaqiao.
I still fail often. No, no, no, I’d rather be steady..."
"General Sun!" Liu Haiqing couldn't help but said excitedly, "I would like to guarantee with my head that the patriots I call will definitely succeed in killing Cui Xingwu and Li Shouxin! If the result is not like this, I, Liu Haiqing, am willing to be killed by you.
Under military law, you can kill me directly!"
Sun Dianying was a little moved. She looked at Liu Haiqing in shock for a long time, then gritted her teeth and said, "Since you said that, Brother Liu, what else do I have to say? Damn it, do it!"
"Thank you, General, for your trust!" Liu Haiqing was immediately overjoyed, "Don't worry, if the matter succeeds, this righteous man will definitely contact me as soon as possible! You can have the troops quietly hide outside Lindong City, receive the telegram and then quickly enter the city. This way
Once that happens, the risk won’t be that big.”
"Okay!" Sun Dianying gave a thumbs up.
Liu Haiqing breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile sincerely.
After he guessed Su Yi's goals and intentions, he immediately advised Sun Dianying to make the choice that was most beneficial to us, assuming that Su Yi succeeded in assassinating the traitor.
This is not only his unconditional trust in Su Yi, but also the tacit understanding between the two that requires no words.
He knew very well that this was exactly what Su Yi wanted him to do.
Only in this way can Su Yi's risk-taking action be justified and the benefits of his assassination be maximized.
Sun Dianying acted vigorously and resolutely. Once the matter was decided, he immediately started to implement it.
The important town of Lindong.
Normally, this small town should be under martial law during the war, but when entering the city, Hua Kezhi handed twenty oceans to a battalion commander on duty at the city gate, and the three of them drove into the city in a swaggering manner.
When we got to the street, we could see disheveled soldiers everywhere who were drunk and running around in the street with their arms around each other.
In the face of a formidable enemy, Cui Xing's five armies are so disorganized that even if they don't surrender, how can they be able to fight?
The headquarters of the 59th Army is easy to find. It is located in the government compound in the middle of the town.
Su Yi and the others just spent some money to inquire about it and found out.
The car passed by the government compound and circled around. There was a regiment of troops surrounding the compound, and the security was quite tight. It was basically impossible to sneak in secretly.
Soon, Su Yi and three other people temporarily settled down in an abandoned house in an alley not far from the government compound.
"Made, this traitor Cui Xingwu is really going to surrender to the enemy!" As soon as he entered the room, Sun Fengming couldn't help but cursed angrily, "I just asked a few people, and even the common people knew that Cui Xingwu was going to defect to the Zhepeng people, and why?
Someone saw the Zhepeng people entering the government compound and they haven’t come out yet!”
"Master Geng, what should we do?" Hua Kezhi looked at Su Yi, "The government compound is heavily guarded and we can't get in at all. It seems we can only wait until Cui Xingwu comes out before taking action."
Su Yi did not answer the call, but walked around the deserted house, and then said: "Feng Ming, you and Kezhi move the things out of the car, set up the radio, test the signal. Then make explosive bags
Okay. I'm going out for a while, please be careful and don't let anyone sneak in."
"Master Geng, are you going out alone? Is it too dangerous?" Sun Fengming asked.
Su Yi patted him on the shoulder, turned around and walked out the door.
Seeing Su Yi's back disappearing, Hua Kezhi couldn't help but worry: "What exactly is Master Geng planning to do? He's already going through this, but he still doesn't say anything."
"Why are you so anxious?" Sun Fengming said with a smile, "Master Geng will naturally tell you when it's time to know. Let's go and get to work!"
"You're not worried at all!" Walker said helplessly, "This is a big deal that cannot be failed!"
"Has Master Geng ever been defeated?" Sun Fengming asked.
Walker was immediately speechless.
Sun Fengming said with a smile: "You, just keep your heart in your stomach. Don't worry so much! Let's go and get to work!"
The two quickly became busy.
About half an hour later, Su Yi came back with an extra baggage in his hand.
As soon as Sun Fengming and others saw Su Yi coming back, they immediately surrounded him.
"Master Geng, what is this?" Sun Fengming asked curiously.
Hua Kezhi took a sniff and said, "Is there any wine?"
Su Yi opened the bag and found half a bottle of wine inside.
In addition to wine, there is also a military uniform.
It looked like an officer's uniform, wrinkled and smelly.
Both of them looked surprised. Unexpectedly, Su Yi went out for a while and came back with a military uniform.
"Master Geng, do you plan to wear a military uniform and sneak in?" Hua Kezhi was very smart and immediately guessed Su Yi's plan, "But if you don't know the face, I'm afraid..."
"Who said he looks unfamiliar?" Su Yi said with a smile.
Hua Kezhi and Sun Fengming looked at each other, not knowing why.
"Where's the box I brought?" Su Yi asked.
"I put it in the back room. I'll get it for you now." Sun Fengming stood up and said.
"No, I can just go in by myself." Su Yi waved his hand, "You go on to make explosive bags. At least ten of these big ones should be made."
"good!"
After Su Yi entered the back room, Sun Fengming couldn't help but said: "Master Geng only made one set of military uniforms. Does this mean that only one can sneak in?"
"Two people were on the periphery to provide support, and one person went into the headquarters to assassinate." Hua Kezhi frowned and said, "Master Geng's actions... are really extraordinary. This is completely different from what we do under Ninth Brother."
"If Brother Ninth comes to handle this matter, he can only wait for Cui Xingwu to come out and take action. There is no way he can sneak in." Sun Fengming said.
"If we follow our style, the first step should be to go around and collect useful information, instead of just sitting in the house making explosives without knowing anything!" Hua Kezhi couldn't help but shake his head and complained.
Normally, the preliminary preparations for a successful assassination operation are very complicated. Both Hua Kezhi and Sun Fengming were prepared to follow Cui Xingwu for at least several days before taking action.
But what they didn't know was that the time Su Yi gave himself was-eight hours!
Also include the time spent on the road.
On the other side, the sky is also eight hours long.
What makes him even worse than Su Yi is that he has to go through Chaoyang, a city already occupied by the enemy, to Nanling.
And they were not allowed to drive, so they could only leave the car at Ye Baishou and then ride horses on the mountain road to Nanling.
One can imagine the hardships and difficulties along the way.
While Sun Fengming and Hua Kezhi were sitting in a house that was protected from the wind and snow, making explosives, the other four people were riding horses through the wind and snow, trudging along the rugged mountain road. The four of them were shivering from the cold and miserable.
Word.
Moreover, along the way, they had to carefully bypass several checkpoints set up by the Kwantung Army so as not to be noticed by the Japanese.
They had walked for more than three hours on a road of more than 50 kilometers, and the Nanling Mountains were just in sight.
Lin Dong.
Almost an hour after Su Yi entered the back room, the door suddenly opened, and an officer with triangular eyes and a fierce look came out.
Sun Fengming and Hua Kezhi were startled, and almost subconsciously drew their guns and pointed them at him.
"It's me! Put down the gun!" Su Yi's voice came from the officer's mouth.
