On October 24, 1938, the gendarmerie led by Chen Zifeng finally evacuated Wuhan by boat.
Although they didn't find the old beggar they thought about day and night, they got news that the leading Japanese troops had arrived at Huangpi and might enter Wuhan tomorrow at the latest! They had to evacuate!
By this time, various departments of the Kuomintang, the garrison troops, and important factories and mining enterprises had already evacuated Wuhan and moved to Chongqing in batches! Their gendarmerie was almost the last national army to evacuate Wuhan!
In the "Wuhan Defense Strategy" formulated by Chief Guo Chongmu, the defense of Guangzhou and the Guangdong-Han Railway is an extremely important part, but it has never received high-level attention! Even the troops defending Guangzhou were transferred one after another to stop the Japanese army attacking Wuhan.
!
Therefore, as far as the current situation is concerned, Guangzhou has fallen and the Guangdong-Hankou Railway has been cut off by the Japanese army. It is meaningless to talk about defending Wuhan!
In these last few days, Chen Zifeng, Xiao Ancheng and others sent away several groups of people related to them!
1-2
The first people Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng sent away turned out to be Liu Richen, the secretary-general of Wuhan's "Eighth Office", and his bodyguard Lin Jiatai. Among the people sent away was another person they knew, Lin Jiatai's daughter-in-law Li Xiulan.
Five days ago, Lin Jiatai suddenly entered the gendarmerie station on Shuiyu Street.
"Brother, I came here specially to say goodbye." Lin Jiatai said to Chen Zifeng with a smile as soon as he entered the door.
"What's going on? You haven't left yet?" Chen Zifeng asked him to sit down and looked at him with wide eyes.
Lin Jiatai smiled with a relaxed expression and said softly: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Ye and the others left last month. Mr. Liu stayed to finish the work. Now, the finishing work is over, and Mr. Liu will leave this afternoon."
Chen Zifeng smiled strangely, but there was something indescribable weirdness hidden on his sly face.
He rubbed his hands and said: "Oh, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Ye have left! They are your great leaders and the people I admire the most! Oh, it's a pity that we didn't go to see them off! Mr. Liu is leaving this afternoon
,Yes or no?"
Lin Jiatai also smiled and said with deep meaning: "Yes, I'll leave this afternoon."
Chen Zifeng waved his hand and said with eyes wide open: "I'm going to see Mr. Liu off! Mr. Liu is the wisest person I have ever met and the person I admire the most! He is one of them!" He chuckled, "I will definitely
I want to give it away! How about it, can it be done?"
Lin Jiatai laughed loudly, "Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. In addition, I can also tell you that Mr. Zhou and Mr. Ye live at No. 70 Jifang Street, Chongqing. If you also go to Chongqing, Zhou
Sir and Mr. Ye, you are all welcome to come and sit."
As soon as he heard this, Chen Zifeng laughed even more unbridled and was extremely happy. He is a big leader of the Communist Party! But he looks up to me, a little captain of the gendarmerie! This is really an amazing thing!
At this time, Xiao Ancheng, Qiao Yanfang and others sitting next to them also had smiles on their faces. For them, it is indeed a joy to be valued by leaders like Mr. Zhou and Mr. Ye!
"Okay! Okay! I'm lucky to be friends with a big leader from your side! So, what about you?" Chen Zifeng asked.
"I will escort Mr. Liu back to northern Shaanxi. Mr. Liu has a new job, so of course I have to follow him. I am his bodyguard."
"Oh, that's such a pity! I still hope to see you and Mr. Liu in Chongqing!"
"China is such a big country, and there is no chance that we will meet again someday."
Lin Jiatai smiled, looked relaxed, and talked and laughed freely. Everyone could see that he really regarded people like Chen Zifeng as good friends.
"That makes sense, that makes sense. Then, let's see off Mr. Liu in the afternoon! As for the future, oh, let's talk about it in the future! Do you think so?" Chen Zifeng looked strange and nodded.
"Okay, okay, I'm waiting for you to come." Lin Jiatai smiled happily and waved to them when he left.

In the afternoon, people were coming and going in Wuhan Railway Station, all in a hurry.
Everyone knows that the Japanese army is about to enter the city! Today’s train is almost the last one!
Mr. Liu, who was about to leave, was very warm to Chen Zifeng and others who came to see him off, and said many words of praise.
He said: "Captain Chen, your gendarmerie is the most capable team I have ever seen! They are the elite of the national army, and I admire them very much! We will definitely meet again in the future! I believe that we are the best in resisting Japan.
Consistent, right?”
Chen Zifeng nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Liu, you are really flattering! There is absolutely no problem in resisting Japan!"
There is actually another meaning hidden in the words of the two of them. What will happen between them after the Anti-Japanese War is over, we can only tell then!
Mr. Liu suddenly asked: "So, where are you going next?"
Chen Zifeng said with a smile: "The commander has designated us to go to Chongqing. You must know our mission to Chongqing!"
"What is it?" Mr. Liu asked with a relaxed smile, waiting for him to say it.
"It's the 'Barrel Project'! This is our next task!" Chen Zifeng said, nodding to him vigorously.
Mr. Liu kept looking at Chen Zifeng calmly, then looked back at Xiao Ancheng, and did not speak for a while.
"Mr. Liu, what else do you want to tell us?" Chen Zifeng looked at him with a sly expression.
"That's it. On this journey, I will first go to northern Shaanxi to report to my superiors on my recent work in Wuhan, and I may also receive some instructions. You must understand this, right?"
"Understand, understand. It should be." Chen Zifeng still smiled slyly.
"It won't be long." Mr. Liu said easily and naturally.
"Look at this, where else do you want to go? It can't be Chongqing, right?"
"No, my next step is to go to Xi'an, Shaanxi. Captain Chen, I hope you will also go to Shaanxi."
"Why? Is it important there? More important than Chongqing?" Chen Zifeng was somewhat surprised.
"I can't say yet. However, I do think Shaanxi is very important!" Liu Richen smiled faintly, as if he had some self-evident meaning.
"Oh, Mr. Liu, no matter how important Xi'an is, if the commander doesn't say anything, we won't be able to go there! Do you think so?"
"That's true. Captain Chen, let's make an agreement like this. If you go to Shaanxi at any time, you must come to Xi'an's Eighth Office to find me, okay? This is an agreement between us."
Chen Zifeng laughed loudly, "Sir, I'm really afraid of disappointing you. I really don't see that we will have a chance to go to Shaanxi. But, that's fine! That's fine! Let's make an agreement like this! If we don't pay attention, we'll go.
Where is it?"
He said this and laughed again. In his heart, including the hearts of Xiao Ancheng, Qiao Yanfang and others, he did not believe that they would go to Shaanxi! The "Barrel Plan" formulated by the Japanese must have nothing to do with Shaanxi!
At this time, Mr. Liu was smiling and looking at Chen Zifeng deeply, as if he had a deep meaning.
After a moment, he said softly: "Captain Chen, as soon as I saw the look in your eyes, I knew that there is still a matter between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party between you and me, right? I think we will wait until the future to discuss this matter.
Look, is this good?"
Chen Zifeng felt a little embarrassed and said repeatedly: "You are right, we will see in the future, we will see in the future. There is one thing I will tell you first, I admire you, this is the truth!"
Mr. Liu said: "I know this, otherwise, you would not have come to see me off today."
When the train whistle blew, Chen Zifeng, Xiao Ancheng and others waved and sent Mr. Liu and Lin Jiatai onto the train. They waited until the train pulled away before turning around and walking out of the station.
Chen Zifeng looked at Xiao Ancheng with strange eyes, "An Thief, do you think we will go to Xi'an?"
Xiao Ancheng thought about it again and again, but shook his head, "I really don't see this opportunity. However, nothing can be said for what happens these days! What if we go there accidentally?"
Chen Zifeng burst out laughing and said, "I just want to see why you weren't paying attention!"

Two days later, Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng sent Luo Jiang away again.
At this time, the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters has been abolished. Luo Jiang, the head of the Investigation Division, will be secretly appointed as the head of the Peiping District of the Military Command Bureau.
Chen Zifeng and other officers also sent Luo Jiang to the station, and with indescribable feelings, they looked at him carefully, as if they wanted to see through his heart.
Luo Jiang stood beside the carriage, looking at them one by one with a strange and deep look in his eyes.
He suddenly showed a sly smile, stared at Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng and said: "Farewell is imminent, let me tell the truth. There has always been a score between us. I wonder if we will have a chance to settle it in the future!"
Both Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng could tell that the "account" Luo Jiang mentioned was the "Qing Jun Side" in Shanghai!
No matter the past, present or future, it is absolutely impossible to expect Luo Jiang to forget this "account"! "Qing Jun Side" is like a knife, always stuck in Luo Jiang's chest! Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng put themselves in Luo Jiang's shoes at this time,
You can feel the pain in his chest! It's a pain that will never go away!
Chen Zifeng whispered: "Sir, there must be this opportunity! We all look forward to being able to obey the command of the commander again!"
Luo Jiang smiled strangely but said nothing. After a moment, he turned to Xiao Ancheng again and stared at him.
He knows very well that "Qing Jun Side"! This is the trick played by this guy! It caused me a big fall! For this Xiao Ancheng, to use an idiom, I "hate him to the bone"!
He asked: "Xiao Ancheng, what about you? What did you say?"
Xiao Ancheng looked at him calmly and said equally calmly: "Sir, I feel that the kind of opportunity Zifeng mentioned may not appear. The distance between us and the sir may become wider and wider. In the future,
Even if we want to meet and speak, it's not easy. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to work under the command of our superiors."
