"Report!" Li Qiang came outside Qian Huyi's office and shouted loudly.
Before he finished speaking, Qian Huyi's voice came from inside, "Come in!"
After hearing this, Li Qiang opened the door and walked in.
In addition to Qian Huyi, I saw a Japanese in military uniform in the office. From the collar badge on his collar, it was not difficult to guess that this person should be the military adviser sent by the Japanese, Colonel Morita.
Qian Huyi's next words just confirmed Li Qiang's guess.
"Chief Ming, you came at the right time. I just talked about you to Colonel Morita! Come on, come and say hello to Colonel Morita. From now on, Colonel Morita will be the senior military advisor of our headquarters.
."
"General Affairs Section Chief Ming Qiang has met Colonel Morita. Please take good care of me in the future."
However, Morita didn't even look at Li Qiang, and said to him in an almost commanding tone: "Chief Ming, although there are only thirty-eight of us, each one of us is the best soldier of our Empire of Japan.
, and to keep these soldiers in the best condition at all times, we must provide them with the highest standards of food and accommodation, am I right?"
Before he finished speaking, Li Qiang immediately stood up and said, "Don't worry, Colonel Morita, I will do my best to provide you and your men with the highest standards of food and accommodation."
"Very good." Morita nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and then asked as if he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Chief Ming, there is one more thing. I heard that you recently applied for two micro machines in one go.
Camera, a tape recorder and six radio stations, right?"
Hearing this, Li Qiang glanced at Qian Huyi subconsciously, and after seeing him nod, he said: "What Colonel Morita said is indeed true."
"Where are those machines now?" Morita asked again.
"It's all been put into storage and sealed."
After hearing this, Morita nodded first, then clapped his hands, and then a young officer wearing a major collar badge opened the door and walked in, "Colonel!"
"Major Mitsui, tell Commander Qian what you just saw in the warehouse again!"
"Yes!" Major Mitsui stood at attention first, and then turned to Qian Huyi and said, "Commander Qian, I just went to the warehouse in advance on the order of Colonel Morita and found that there were only five radio stations in the warehouse...
…”
"This... how is this possible?" Before Major Mitsui could finish his words, Qian Huyi opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief, "I was also present when the radio station was put into storage the day before yesterday. It was obviously the sixth one, absolutely not
Wrong!"
Morita snorted and said with a gloomy face: "That means that someone stole a radio station from the warehouse of the headquarters in just two days without anyone noticing. Commander Qian, I am
Should we say that they have great powers? Or are your people just too lazy?"
"This... Ming Qiang, what is going on?!" In desperation, Qian Huyi had no choice but to vent his resentment on Li Qiang.
Li Qiang replied innocently: "Commander, this... I don't know this either! The confidentiality department is responsible for the custody of such classified electronic equipment!"
Hearing this, Qian Huyi nodded suddenly, and then grabbed the phone in front of him, "Hello? Director Jin? It's me, the radio station in the warehouse... Well, that's it, okay, I know
Already."
After hanging up the phone, Qian Huyi also let out a sigh of relief. When he looked at Morita again, he finally gained some confidence and said with a smile: "Colonel Morita, I'm really sorry for giving you a false alarm. This is confidential.
The Translation and Electronics Department is conducting business assessment these days and has borrowed a radio station to simulate transmission, so..."
After listening to Qian Huyi's explanation, Morita's face looked better, "So that's the case, then I'm relieved. But I still have to remind you again that such confidential electronic equipment must be kept tightly, otherwise if it goes out
If there is a problem, the consequences will be serious.”
After saying that, he stood up and left without looking back.
"Hey! A mere colonel dares to show off in front of this commander, what the hell!" Qian Huyi spat hard as soon as Morita left, and said angrily.
Li Qiang immediately added fuel to the fire and said: "Commander, this Morita came to find trouble as soon as he arrived. It seems that he came with bad intentions!"
"Why are you afraid of him? Don't forget that this is my territory. Even if a dragon comes, I have to control it. Even if it is a tiger, I have to lie down. It's okay if that guy is wise. If not, I have plenty of ways to deal with it.
he!"
"Commander is domineering!" Of course Li Qiang knew that Qian Huyi said it happily, but it was just a happy talk and could not be taken seriously. But sometimes, appropriate compliments can definitely draw him in quickly.
A shortcut to the distance between leaders, especially those who value their prestige in the hearts of their subordinates.
Obviously, Qian Huyi was such a person, so he felt happy after hearing Li Qiang's compliment, but he behaved very restrained on the surface.
The two chatted for a while, and then Qian Huyi seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Li Qiang: "By the way, Chief Ming. I have a private matter that I have been thinking about in my mind for a long time, but in the end I still feel like leaving it to you.
It’s the safest thing to do.”
"Don't worry, Commander, as long as it's something you tell me, I promise to handle it properly for you."
"Actually, it's nothing special. It's just that Miss Bamboo Shear is coming to Hangzhou tomorrow. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood! Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely take care of Miss Bamboo Shear for you."
"Please keep it confidential, I don't want to hear any rumors."
"yes!"
After a night of silence, Li Qiang arrived at Hangzhou Railway Station an hour early the next day.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the train He Jianzhu was riding finally slowly entered the station.
"Hello, Miss Jianzhu!" As soon as He Jianzhu stepped off the train, Li Qiang, who had been waiting on the platform for a long time, immediately greeted him and said respectfully.
He Jianzhu said with an apologetic look: "I'm so sorry, Chief Ming, for keeping you waiting for so long."
"It doesn't matter. It's common for trains to be delayed. Besides, it's only half an hour late. It's nothing. The train is ready and it's just outside. Please come over here." After saying that, Li Qiang took the initiative to cut the bamboo from He He.
He took the suitcase in his hand, led her out of the train station, and got directly into a black car parked in front of the station.
"Where should we go first?" He Jianzhu, who was sitting in the back seat, couldn't help but ask as soon as Li Qiang started the car.
"Qiuzhuang, the commander specifically ordered me to send you to Qiuzhuang to put down your luggage first, and then..."
As soon as He Jianzhu didn't want to hear the word "Qiuzhuang", He Jianzhu was stunned and didn't even bother to listen to what Li Qiang was saying behind him.
Li Qiang also noticed something strange about He Jianzhu in the middle of speaking, so he quickly called her several times with concern, "Miss Jianzhu? Miss Jianzhu? Are you okay?"
"Ah? Oh! I...I'm fine. I'm just a little curious about what kind of place this Qiuzhuang is. Can you tell me about it?"
"Of course! But I'm just hearing it from hearsay, so just listen to it, Miss Jianzhu."
"It doesn't matter. The journey was boring enough anyway, so I just thought of it as listening to books to relieve my boredom." He Jianzhu said with a smile.
"Okay, let's talk about Qiuzhuang. It is a large courtyard near a mountain and a lake. The owner of the courtyard, whose surname is Qiu, was once a bandit. In the thirteenth year of the Republic of China, a war broke out between Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He took advantage of the chaos and went down the mountain.
He bought land and built a garden, and the built yard became famous, so it was called Qiuzhuang. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Not long after, Mr. Qiu and his wife died while watching a theater in Shanghai, but his children were not able to live up to their expectations.
, he lost all his family property within a few years, and even had to give up a building to a local bully to run a gang in order to maintain the huge daily expenses."
Hearing this, a contemptuous smile appeared on He Jianzhu's face unconsciously, and he asked lightly: "What happened next?"
"Later, the Japanese invaded Hangzhou, drove away the descendants of the Qiu family and the local bully, and established the Maintenance Committee in Qiuzhuang. Later, they were captured by Commander Qian's East China Suppression Bandit Corps, also known as the East China Suppression Corps.
The predecessor took over."
Just as he was talking, the car drove to the door of a very grand-looking manor. Without asking, he knew that this must be the legendary Qiuzhuang.
The opportunity was rare, so Li Qiang naturally would not waste it, so he deliberately slowed down and walked around twice on the pretext of taking He Jianzhu to familiarize himself with the environment.
Through observation, Li Qiang discovered that the entire manor is roughly divided into three areas: there is a three-story main building in the front yard, which used to be where the owner of the manor opened a tea shop and restaurant; in the middle are two small Western-style buildings facing each other, also three stories.
It was once the residence of Mr. Qiu and his family. It was decorated very finely and luxuriously. Now the building on the west side has become Qian Huyi's private residence, and the building on the east side has been used as his reception room and the residence of several cronies and staff.
The backyard is a row of concave-shaped bungalows, which used to be the residence of the Qiu family's servants, but are now the residence of the servants who serve Qian Huyi. The bungalows are surrounded by a bamboo forest, and beyond the bamboo forest is a neither high nor low building.
Behind the mountain is the West Lake.
"Miss Jianzhu, this is the room specially prepared for you by the commander. You should have a good rest first. If you need anything, just call this number. No need to dial. Just pick it up and someone will talk to you. Just give your order. I will come back later.
."
"Okay, then go ahead and get busy! By the way, thank Commander Qian for me."
"Absolutely." After saying this, Li Qiang said goodbye and left, returning to the headquarters to return to Qian Huyi.
In this way, even if He Jianzhu entered Qian Huyi's house, Qian Huyi was still a little secretive at first. From time to time, he sent Li Qiang to take He Jianzhu around Hangzhou, and then pretended to guide him.
Act out a drama of chance encounter.
But only a week later, Qian Huyi couldn't care less about the rumors, just set up a few symbolic banquets, and impatiently took him as his second room.
However, even though he only had a short week, Li Qiang still made full use of this time to mingle with the people in Qiuzhuang, even to the extent that he could come and go at will.
As Li Qiang and others gradually gained a foothold in the East China Suppression Headquarters, new tasks also arrived.
"Team leader, we just received an urgent message from the headquarters." Haitang said while handing a newly translated message to Li Qiang.
It doesn't matter if you don't read it. As soon as he saw the content above, Li Qiang immediately frowned. Although he was full of doubts, he didn't say anything. He just asked casually, "Is this task given to us alone?"
Haitang quickly shook his head and replied: "No, in addition to us, the lurking teams in Shangrao, Quxian, Jinhua, and Shaoxing also received the same order."
"That's it...Okay, I understand."
Back in the office, Li Qiang immediately called Acheng and briefly explained the situation to him.
"...That's what happened. What do you think?" Li Qiang asked.
"Same as you feel, this matter is definitely not as simple as what the message says. The target of the ambush is a jeep. It can be basically concluded that it is not Japanese. After all, in their view, a small number of people can use a motorcycle and a large number of people can use it.
Military trucks basically do not use this type of vehicle. Excluding the Japanese, there are only three possibilities left. The first possibility is that they are high-ranking officials of the puppet army. Of course, this is the most ideal situation."
Before he finished speaking, Li Qiang shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm too pessimistic. This possibility is very slim. If the target of the ambush is really a senior official of the puppet army, the headquarters will not be so secretive."
"Yes, that's right. The second possibility is defectors, and they are defectors of a very high level or who may bring extremely serious consequences."
"It is indeed possible, but..." As he said that, Li Qiang took out a map from the drawer and used a pen to circle Shangrao, Quxian, Jinhua, Shaoxing and Hangzhou where he was located, and then
He continued, "According to Haitang, the lurking teams in these areas have all received the same mission. Do you see anything?"
But even so, after looking at it for a long time, Cheng still shook his head, "Except that these places are on the same railway line, I really didn't see anything."
Li Qiang continued to remind: "What is the third possibility you just mentioned?"
"The third possibility? Isn't it just..." In the middle of the sentence, Acheng suddenly understood, "You mean, the target of this mission is an important figure on our side?"
"That's right! As you just said, the places where we received the order are all on the same railway line. In other words, these are all the places where our guerrillas are most active, so the goal of this mission is
, it is very likely that he is an important figure on our side who is inspecting along the railway!"
"No, this matter must be confirmed immediately. I will send a report to Teacup right now!"
After saying that, Acheng turned around and walked out. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Li Qiang, "Wait a minute, Acheng! This telegram cannot be sent!"
