Half an hour later, the New Fourth Army headquarters.
"What did you say?" Chief No. 2 stood up suddenly and stared at the instructor of the security company who came to report in disbelief, "Family members of the compound who went to the Xishan Mulberry Garden to pick mulberries were attacked?"
Hearing what Chief No. 2 said, the other chiefs all turned their heads to look over.
Revolutionary soldiers are human beings too, and they also care about their wives, children, and children. Their family members also went to Xishan Mulberry Garden, so they must not have any accidents.
The No. 2 leader said angrily: "Why don't you send guards to accompany you for protection?"
"We sent it." The instructor of the guard company said with a wry smile, "Old Cao sent a squad."
The old Cao mentioned by the security company instructor is Cao Dewang, the commander of the military security company.
"How many spies can't you deal with in one squad?" The No. 2 leader became angrier, "What do you guards even do for food?"
The instructor of the guard company could only smile bitterly because he did not know the specific situation. At this time, the No. 1 leader came over and said to the No. 2 leader: "Lao Xiang, don't be anxious. You can't solve the problem in haste."
After finishing speaking, Chief No. 1 said to the instructor: "What is the situation over there in Mulberry Garden now?"
"Reporting to the leader, I don't know the specific situation of Xishan Mulberry Garden now." The instructor shook his head and said, "But Lao Cao has already rushed over with a platoon."
"One platoon is not enough. You and the second platoon rush over to reinforce."
"But I left with the second platoon, and the military's defense force was too weak."
"There's nothing wrong with it. The military headquarters doesn't need your protection at all. This is the military headquarters!"
The tone of Commander No. 1 left no room for doubt, and the instructor of the security company quickly turned around and left.
Watching the instructor of the security company leave, Commander No. 1 suddenly frowned and said, "Why do I feel that this matter is a bit unusual?"
Chief No. 2 asked: "What kind of unusual method?"
"I can't tell." Chief No. 1 shook his head and said, "It's just an intuition."
The intuition of the No. 1 leader was very accurate. After a while, a correspondent from the security company came back in a hurry. At the same time, he also brought back the situation of Xishan Mulberry Garden: the attackers were Japanese soldiers!
"It's actually a Japanese!" Chief No. 1 said in shock, "How did you get in?"
The No. 2 chief was furious again and said sternly: "Who, call me the people from the Security Department. I want to ask them how the work of the Security Department is carried out? The little devils have even entered the house.
They also launched an attack on our family members, but they knew nothing about it and neglected their duty. This is a serious dereliction of duty!"
Chief No. 1 was more concerned about safety issues and asked: "What are the casualties?"
The correspondent replied: "Two comrades were killed in the accompanying security squad. Except for several family members who were injured in falls, there were no other life accidents, but..."
When they heard that no one in the family had died, several leaders heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Chief No. 1 heard something different and asked, "But what?"
The correspondent lowered his head and replied: "But Mr. Sai and Hong Guoer were kidnapped by the Japanese!"
"What? Xiaobai and Hongguoer were kidnapped by the Japanese?!" The leaders were stunned for a moment.
After a long while, Chief No. 1 said in a deep voice: "I understand, I understand. This group of devils is basically here for Xiaobai and Hong Guoer's mother and daughter. If I guessed correctly, this group of devils should be Xiaoluyuan."
Junsi's special operations brigade! It's no wonder that they can enter Damei Mountain silently."
"The little devil is really insidious." Chief No. 3 said in a deep voice, "Xu Rui can't be helped in an upright battlefield confrontation, so he came up with such a cunning trick. He actually thought of kidnapping Sai Hongfu and Hong Guoer to threaten Xu Rui!"
"But then again, this move is really deadly." Chief No. 4 said.
"Who says it's not the case?" Chief No. 5 said, "Xu Rui couldn't immediately blow things up if he knew about it?"
Chief No. 6, who had just arrived, went on to say: "If Xu Rui had picked up the challenge, the Battle of Songhu would not have been fought. This move of pulling people out of the bottom of the cauldron is really powerful. Oh no, this is not just about taking out the salary from the bottom of the cauldron. The little devil is going to take Xiaobai."
Comrade and Hong Guoer have set up a shocking trap, which is going to stew even Xu Rui."
The No. 2 leader also frowned immediately and said, "If it's really Oluhara's special force, it will be very difficult."
"Yes, Xiaoluyuan's special forces are not easy to deal with." Chief No. 1 nodded and said, "I'm afraid the security company is no match for them. If we want to save people, we may have to call in the Wolf Fang."
"You can't adjust Langya." The No. 2 leader said flatly, "If Langya knows, doesn't it mean that Xu Rui knows? If Xu Rui knew that Xiaobai and Hongguo'er were kidnapped by the Japs, why wouldn't he immediately pick them up? Chapter 1
The Fourth Battle of Songhu is about to break out, and he cannot leave Shanghai at this time, otherwise there will be no need to fight."
Chief No. 1 said: "But I'm afraid this matter cannot be hidden."
Chief No. 3 also said: "Secretary Xiang, I also think Xu Rui should be informed. These are his wife and daughter!"
"Okay, let him know." Chief No. 2 sighed and said, "But just let him send Langya to rescue people. As for him, just stay in Shanghai honestly. His job is
The leader of the Songhu Independent Regiment is not the captain of the Langya Brigade. His mission is to defend Shanghai for me, not to save people from thousands of miles away."
After finishing speaking, the No. 2 leader shouted again: "Guard! Guard!"
The guard outside the door rushed in immediately and shouted: "Chief?"
"Immediately send a telegram to the anti-Japanese democratic governments in Shan County, Guan County and Pu County!" Chief No. 2 said urgently, "Have them mobilize the masses immediately and keep an eye on every intersection in Damei Mountain. Once they find anything,
If a suspicious person passes by, report it immediately to the local militia, and then order the county militia brigades to enter the first level of combat readiness!"
"The militia alone is not enough." Chief No. 1 continued, "The guard regiment must also enter the first level of combat readiness!"
"Tell the security company again that you will cling to these Japs at all costs," the No. 2 leader said again.
The intention of the two chiefs was to completely blockade Damei Mountain, trap the Japanese who kidnapped Sai Hongfu and Hong Guoer in the mountainous area of Damei Mountain, prevent them from leaving, and then wait for Lang Ya to come back to rescue them. However, their intention was to
Whether this intention can be fully realized in the end is another matter.

In Shanghai, Broadway Building.
Zhuanshanbao had just returned from Kunshan, and Xu Rui urgently summoned the group leaders at home.
Wang Husheng, Yang Rui, Jiang Nan, and Liu Mei happened to be at home, and soon came to the conference room one after another.
When everyone arrived, Xu Rui turned to Zuanshan Leopard and said, "Leopard, you can speak now."
"Okay." Zhuan Shanbao nodded, then pointed to the map and said, "Yesterday and one night, we successively conducted surveys on four suspicious targets. Among them, the second, third, and fourth targets were not found. They were all empty.
Yes, there is not even a shadow of a ghost, but there is a major discovery on Target No. 1."
"Weiting Town?" Wang Husheng asked, "What have you discovered?"
"I don't know the details, but the security is very tight anyway." Zhuan Shanbao said, "The Japs not only set up a high-voltage power grid on the fence, and set up a machine gun nest made of steel plates at the gate, but also in the private houses and big trees around the factory.
There are also a large number of light and dark sentries set up in the wilderness. It is said that there are three steps and one sentry and five steps and one post, but they are still light."
After a pause, Zhuanshan Leopard said again: "In order not to alert others, I didn't dare to mess around."
"Leopard, you did the right thing." Xu Rui nodded and said, "The Japs are so heavily guarded. Without a careful action plan, it is almost impossible to sneak into the target. And if you break in by force, it will be inevitable."
To scare the snake away, I'm afraid we won't be able to see anything when we get in."
"But one thing is certain," Wang Husheng said, "that is, the Japanese are indeed brewing a major conspiracy! And this conspiracy must be related to the upcoming Fourth Battle of Songhu!"
Xu Rui said: "It seems that I have to go to Weiting Town in person."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Taohong suddenly burst into the conference room with tears in her eyes and shouted sadly: "Uncle."
Seeing Xiao Taohong like this, Xu Rui's heart suddenly jumped, but on the surface he still managed to stay calm and said, "Xiao Taohong, don't cry. As long as I'm here, the sky won't fall."
Xiao Taohong snorted slightly and nodded vigorously, but she still couldn't help but shed tears.
Xu Rui's heart sank deeper and deeper and asked: "Xiao Taohong, what happened?"
Xiao Taohong sobbed twice and said, "My sister still has red fruits, so Xiaoluyuan caught them."
"What?!"
"Is this happening?!"
"how so?"
"When did this happen?"
"What a dog calls Xiaoluyuan, what a dog calls a little devil!"
Upon hearing Xiao Taohong's words, Wang Husheng, Zhuan Shanbao and Du Junjie immediately exploded.
Only Xu Rui was still standing there blankly, with no reaction, but in fact, this was just the surface. Xu Rui's heart had already turned upside down, and his heart flew back to Damei Mountain almost instantly.
Wang Husheng asked Xiao Taohong again: "Xiao Taohong, where is the telegram?"
"Here." Xiao Taohong then handed over the telegram in her hand.
Xu Rui didn't want to read the telegram at all, and suddenly shouted through his teeth: "Leopard, go and gather people!"
"Yes!" Zhuanshan Leopard responded loudly, then turned around and rushed out of the conference room, shouting sternly, "Gather, the Langya Brigade has gathered, urgent gathering, urgent gathering..."
Xu Rui also turned around suddenly and strode out.
At this time, Wang Husheng had already read the telegram and said anxiously: "Old Xu, you can't..."
Xu Rui suddenly turned around and glared at Wang Husheng fiercely. Wang Husheng's last word was stuck in his throat. He suddenly thought that Sai Hongfu was Xu Rui's de facto wife, and Hong Guoer was his only daughter. Old Xu
It had only been less than two months since I had tasted the taste of my father, but I had to face this kind of separation.
