With these thoughts running through his mind, Chen Zifeng looked around casually. He glanced at Xiao Ancheng's face, which was also expressionless.
He stood up and said: "We are too late to catch up. Let's go. Go towards the highway and move forward as quickly as possible."

An hour later, the three of them finally returned to the road and found their car.
Chen Zifeng did not expect that the company commander would actually sit in the truck with seven or eight soldiers.
The company commander jumped out of the truck and walked towards Chen Zifeng.
He walked up to Chen Zifeng, paused with his mouth crooked, and then said: "Before, when you first arrived, I may have misunderstood you. I'm sorry, I won't mention it anymore. I think so, that murderer, like
He did it yesterday, he can't go far on foot! I want to find a place to set up a card near Wuhan, maybe I can intercept him!"
Chen Zifeng laughed loudly, patted his arm and said: "Brother, I have always wanted to make this suggestion, but I was just afraid that you would not agree. Brother, good job, let's go!"
2-24
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, after driving for two hours, the truck finally stopped on the side of the road.
Chen Zifeng and the company commander stood head to head, looking at the map in front of them.
The company commander pointed at the map and said: "This is it, what do you think! Fuhe Bridge! The only way into Wuhan from Huangpi! We will set up a checkpoint here to look for the inch you mentioned! As long as he has not crossed the bridge,
I can intercept him!"
Chen Zifeng held his hand and said, "Brother, thank you for your hard work. If you have any news, go to the Investigation Division of the Security Command to find us. I will be waiting for your good news there!"
The company commander got off the truck with his soldiers, waved to Chen Zifeng and others, and began to block the bridge and check the passing pedestrians and vehicles.
However, none of them could have imagined that just half an hour later, Kawakami also arrived at Fuhe Bridge!
He hid in the reeds by the river and watched the soldiers setting up checkpoints by the bridge. At the same time, he also saw Chen Zifeng and his brothers who had just boarded the truck and left!
His eyesight was excellent. He recognized those people as his old rivals! He didn't expect that he would meet his old rivals here!
An evil thought grew in his chest! He really hoped to have a chance to kill these people with his own hands!

Kawakami remembers clearly that on January 22, 1938, an important decision was made in a secret meeting room at the Japanese Expeditionary Force Headquarters in Shanghai. The Navy and the Army cooperated to implement the "wooden plan" formulated by that bastard Takahashi.
Bucket Plan”!
Commander Matsumoto said at the meeting that this plan has been jointly approved by the Army General Staff Headquarters and the Navy Command Department!
The top brass of the navy and army approved an action plan at the same time, which was unprecedented in Japanese history!
At that meeting, everyone present carefully discussed the specific plan for implementing the "Barrel Plan". The main point was that the navy and army sent agents at the same time to sneak into Wuhan secretly!
These infiltrators unexpectedly included Sasaki. He was not an intelligence agent. This was something Kawakami did not expect.
Commander Matsui smiled and said: "He can play a role that your intelligence personnel cannot! You will know it when you get to Wuhan! But his safety is one of your tasks! Mr. Sato, I hope you understand!"
Mr. Sato nodded and said, "I understand. Commander, please rest assured."
Commander Matsui continued: "All specific operations are commanded by Colonel Takuto Sato of the Navy! Everyone must obey the command of Colonel Sato! There must be no mistakes!"

After the meeting that day, as soon as Mr. Sato returned to the station, he called Kawakami into his room.
Teacher Sato did not let Kawakami sit down, but stared at him with a stern gaze, as if staring into his bones!
"Kawakami," Mr. Sato said in a low and stern voice, "please tell me what happened to Akitsu! You must tell me the truth! Tell me now!"
Kawakami had always imagined that he could escape the teacher's questioning, but now, he knew that he would definitely not be able to escape!
The muscles on his face trembled like an electric shock. He knew without guessing that the teacher must have found out everything! At least he thought clearly! He must not lie and prevaricate! That would only make himself more embarrassed!
He was silent for a moment, then slowly knelt down, lowered his head, and whispered: "Teacher, I was wrong! I regret it very much!"
"Say!" Teacher Sato yelled.
"I'm sorry, I deceived Qiujin and I deceived you! It was my fault! I am willing to accept your punishment!"
"Be specific!" Teacher Sato yelled again.
"That day, at Yali Bar, I told Qiujin that in five minutes, I would escort the teacher to retreat from the back door, and asked her to cover her!"
"What did you say to me!"
"I say, let's rush out the front door, and Akitsu will follow!"
A slap hit Kawakami hard on the face. Half of his face immediately turned red.
Mr. Sato glared at Kawakami who was kneeling in front of him!
"You bastard! Tell me why!" he yelled.
Sato's face turned pale with anger. Although he guessed that this might be the reason, it still made him angry!
"Tell me the reason! Just tell me!"
"Just...for Ono! Teacher, I'm sorry, it was my fault! I am willing to accept the punishment!" Kawakami finally said.
Another slap on Kawakami's face! This one was harder!
"Raise your head!" the teacher yelled.
When Kawakami raised his head, he was slapped several times! Kawakami had no choice but to hold on! He felt his face was burning, as if it had been branded with a red-hot iron!
He saw it, and the teacher was so angry that his whole body was shaking! The teacher touched the gun in his waist with his trembling hands several times!
He guessed that if it were not for the implementation of the "Barrel Plan", the teacher would really have shot him!
Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He didn't dare to wipe it, and he didn't want to. He hoped that the teacher would let him go when he saw the blood flowing down! He felt extremely regretful! What he regretted was not that he had deceived the teacher and Akitsu!
Regretfully, what he did was too stupid! If he had used his brain again, it might have been better!
That Qiu Jin is a bastard! She'd better die in Wuhan!
But there is no doubt that Akijin is not dead! The teacher may have received information that Akijin is still alive in Wuhan!

At the secret meeting, Takahashi said proudly: "Mr. Sato, I have placed someone in Wuhan! Very good agents, and the location is very good!"
The teacher muttered: "Very good. I also have people in Wuhan!"
"Who is it? Is he capable enough?" Takahashi asked in surprise.
"It's Akitsu!" Sato stared at him calmly.
Takahashi's eyes widened and he looked at Sato in surprise, "I guess you arranged it specially, right?"
Sato did not answer, but glanced at Kawakami imperceptibly.
At that moment, Kawakami was so shocked that his whole body trembled!
2-28
At this time, Teacher Sato leaned down, stared fiercely into Kawakami's eyes, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "When you get to Wuhan, you must obtain Akitsu's understanding! If she doesn't forgive you, commit suicide! Listen!
Are you sure?"
Kawakami leaned down, put his forehead on the ground, paused hard, and said repeatedly: "Yes, teacher, I will definitely do it!"
But in his heart, he was in extreme pain! Begging for forgiveness from Qiu Jin! He really couldn't say this!
2-29
On February 6, Kawakami made preparations, secretly left Shanghai, and prepared to sneak into Wuhan.
In the past few days, according to Teacher Sato's arrangement, all people going to Wuhan set out in groups of two.
Mr. Sato was among the first to leave, and he left on January 27th. Following Mr. Sato was Hirota. They planned to take a train to Zhengzhou and then take a detour to Wuhan.
But before Mr. Sato left, he encountered a problem, even a trouble that was difficult to solve!
He learned from Commander Okawa that the Marines who were stationed in Wuhan did leave some lurking personnel in Wuhan and even left a considerable amount of weapons and ammunition! However, they did not leave behind a radio station! This is their future mission
Something indispensable!
However, whether by car, boat or on foot, the inspections around Wuhan must be very strict! Therefore, it is difficult to bring a radio station into Wuhan! But again, the radio station is indispensable for them to complete their mission!
Teacher Sato stared at Kawakami and said: "This task is left to you! You must bring the radio station into Wuhan!"
The teacher's meaning is very clear. If you can't complete this task, then commit suicide!
2-30
Kawakami was a naval officer after all, and he quickly asked Commander Hasegawa for a small gunboat.
On the night of February 6, he put the radio into a suitcase and boarded the small gunboat.
His first destination was Wuhu, Anhui.
He got the news that those bastards Chen Zifeng took the "Hongyuan", broke through Wuhu, and took away the medicines!
But his arrival in Wuhu is only the first step in this journey, and it is the easiest step. The following journey is the most difficult! But no matter how difficult it is, he must get through it!
After Kawakami arrived in Wuhu, he wandered around the streets. He quickly found a suitable refugee in a quiet side street. He spent some money to buy his luggage and old clothes.
Returning to the hotel, he bundled the radio and weapons into a dirty tattered quilt, put on old clothes that might have lice, and then quietly left the hotel.
After leaving Wuhu, he mixed with a group of fleeing people and walked slowly westward.
He didn't bring any food! None of the people who fled brought their own food! He couldn't bring it either!
Along the way, some kind-hearted people set up porridge shacks on the roadside. Like all the refugees, Kawakami lived on the gruel given out by the people. Sometimes, he even begged from people on the roadside.
He walked on the road for several days and was always hungry.
However, after arriving in Yuexi County, he found that he was in big trouble! He actually saw a familiar person in front of the checkpoint in Yuexi County! This person should be called Qiang Hu! He was an agent under Chen Zifeng!
