"Grandma, the Chi family can only stay in two places. One is to still stay in Wuhan, but it's hard to say whether it's good or not. The other is to go back to Wuhu. That's the foundation of the Chi family, and everyone knows everyone there. It may be better than
Wuhan is better."
"Have you made up your mind?"
"Not yet. I just want to hear what grandma means."
At this time, Mrs. Chi stopped talking. She ate her rice slowly and drank the soup with a spoon.
Chi Jun could see that grandma was thinking about this issue. This was a major matter for the Chi family, and it would be impossible not to think it over clearly!
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Chi thought about it until the end, but said lightly: "Girl, you think about it. After you think about it, tell me." At this point, she sighed and said: "In this way, where
This is a Japanese world, it’s the same everywhere!”
Chi Jun sat at the table and didn't move for a long time. She couldn't make up her mind either.
At this time, Mrs. Chi said again: "You can take some time tomorrow and send Bao'er there. I am a parent after all, so I naturally want to be with my child. Let them take care of him for a few days."
Chi Jun said softly: "Okay, I will send Bao'er there tomorrow."
25-24
The next day is March 29th, a very important day!
Chen Zifeng and his brothers got up at five o'clock.
At half past five, breakfast was served. The noodles and steamed buns were both very hot.
None of the brothers said anything and just ate quickly.
After breakfast, according to Chen Zifeng's request, the brothers all changed into military uniforms and carried two guns, one long and one short. There were spare bullets and handguns in the satchels slung over their shoulders.
Xiao Ancheng whispered: "Zifeng, bring the machine gun with you, no one knows what will happen! We would rather bring more weapons, there is nothing wrong with being careful."
Chen Zifeng said: "Okay! Bring it! Damn it, bring more bullets! If the Japanese want to cause trouble with us, I will play hard with them!"
At six o'clock, except for the two who stayed behind to look after the house, the rest of the brothers got into the pickup truck and set off.
25-25
Five minutes later, Mr. Sato and Takashi received a call at the big house on Chenyuan Lane.
Yingji put down the phone and whispered: "Five minutes ago, Chen Zifeng and the others set off in a car."
Mr. Sato smiled lightly and said, "Oh, really? They are really early!"
After that, they stopped talking and waited quietly.
25-26
At half past six, Chen Zifeng's pickup truck stopped in front of the 22nd Field Hospital.
Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng jumped out of the truck and walked towards the hospital. They noticed that the black car that came to pick up Chief Guo had stopped outside the hospital. A driver was wiping the car with an oilcloth.
They went up to the third floor and quickly entered the VIP ward.
Chief Guo has already put on his military uniform and is shaking hands with Liu Richen and Dr. Fu to say goodbye.
He turned around and saw Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng, still a little surprised, "Oh, Team Leader Chen, Staff Officer Deng and the others came last night and stayed here for one night. We were planning to leave early in the morning, but we didn't expect you to come so early.
.”
Chen Zifeng chuckled, "Sir, we have nothing to do today. As long as we deliver you safely to the Military Commission, our mission will be completed. Sir, shall we leave now?"
Chief Guo waved to Staff Deng, "Have you got your things? Once we've got them, let's go! Mr. Liu, I hope to see you again in the future and have a good chat with you."
Liu Richen said nothing, but shook his hand vigorously.
After that, he and Fu Xuelan sent Guo Chongmu to the stairs and watched them walk down the stairs.
25-27
Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng accompanied Chief Guo out of the hospital gate and walked towards the car, looking around with their eyes.
Staff Officer Deng first ran to the car, opened the door for Chief Guo, and stretched his hand to the door frame.
Chief Guo smiled and waved to Chen Zifeng, Xiao Ancheng and others before getting in the car.
Staff Officer Deng was about to get in the car and sit next to Chief Guo. But Chen Zifeng walked over and stopped him with a strange smile.
He said: "Commander Deng, you and the driver get on the truck. Today is a special situation and we are responsible for the safety of Chief Guo. You two get on the truck."
Staff Deng looked at him unexpectedly, still a little dazed.
Guo Chongmu said: "Xiao Deng, do as Team Leader Chen said. You and the driver get on the truck. Today is a special situation."
Chen Zifeng sat directly on the driver's seat, Leng Yue sat next to him. Xiao Ancheng sat next to Chief Guo.
When Qiao Yanfang saw everyone getting in the car, she started the truck and drove away from the hospital. Chen Zifeng drove behind the truck.
Qiao Yanfang left the hospital in her truck, not heading south to Wangjiaxiang Pier, but heading north.
This situation made Chief Guo a little strange, and he looked back at Xiao Ancheng.
Xiao Ancheng just smiled at him and was not prepared to answer.
25-28
A few minutes later, the news that Chen Zifeng was escorting Chief Guo's motorcade heading north reached Mr. Sato's bedroom in the big house on Chenyuan Lane.
Yingji put down the phone, stared at the map on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "They are going north! Are they going to cross the river from the Dongmen Pier in the north? Sir, if so, our work will be in vain!"
Mr. Sato also frowned and stared at the map in front of him. He considered for a moment and said softly: "Let's wait and see!"
Takashi said: "Maybe, I should inform Kawakami to wait in the north!"
Mr. Sato still said: "Let's wait and see, we still have time!"
25-29
At this time, Qiao Yanfang was smiling and holding the steering wheel. It could almost be said that she was driving the car quite casually.
Li San held a map in his hand, sat next to her, and kept telling her where to go.
The route Qiao Yanfang took was roughly like this. She drove north along the Yangtze River Highway, seemingly going to the Dongmen Ferry Terminal. But when she arrived at Dazheng Street, she turned east again, which was completely opposite to Wuchang, where Chief Guo was going.
She walked not far east, but then turned south onto Dahe Street. Dahe Street continued south to Zhong Street and Hanzhong Road. But when she arrived at Hanjing Street, she turned east again, onto Shi Street! Eastward
Not long after, she turned south again onto Han King Street. After that, the truck passed through Saigon Street and reached Consul De Tome Street. She continued walking southwest, which was the streets with twists and turns.
She walked to the end and arrived at Mingxin Street. It was very close to the gendarmerie station and the investigation office. It was impossible to reach here by normal driving.
Going south from Mingxin Street, she accelerated her speed and finally arrived at Xinsheng Road.
As soon as she got onto Xinsheng Road, her speed became even faster, she was just speeding!
Go all the way along this road to the Wangjiaxiang Ferry Terminal!
25-30
In the big house in Chen Yuan Lane, Ying Si finally got the news that Chen Zifeng's escort convoy has been heading south!
He patted his forehead and said with a smile: "Sir, fortunately you said to wait a little longer! Now, they can't even think of running away again!"
Mr. Sato smiled and said, "What happens next depends on the arrangements you and Kawakami make."
Takashi proudly said: "Sir, it's arranged in layers! It's arranged in layers! They can escape through one level, but they will never escape through so many levels! They are facing a dead end in front of them!"
Mr. Sato smiled and nodded to him. But his eyes were as unfathomable as dry wells!
Takashi called Kawakami: "Kawakami-kun, let me tell you, they will be here soon!"
Kawakami answered the call in a small post office. He said proudly: "Okay! Very timely! My ferry has crossed the river and will arrive soon!"
He looked towards the pier through the window. A ferry had just left the pier and headed for Hankou on the other side.
25-31
At the Wangjiaxiang Ferry Terminal, long queues of vehicles and pedestrians were waiting to cross the river.
Qiao Yanfang's truck stopped on the side of the road. Qiang Hu and the other brothers immediately jumped out of the truck and walked towards the dock.
As they walked, they ordered the vehicles and pedestrians to move aside.
Drivers and pedestrians waiting to cross the river saw these National Army soldiers armed with live ammunition. No one dared to say anything and slowly made way for them.
Chen Zifeng, Xiao Ancheng and others were sitting in Chief Guo's car, observing the outside nervously.
Their car followed Qiao Yanfang's truck all the way to the front of the dock.
The environment in the dock is complex, with high and low houses nearby. Each house seems to be lurking in danger. There is also a three-story building next to it, with a dark window facing the dock.
The machine gun on the truck was pointed at the building. A brother stood behind the machine gun and stared at the windows.
Qiao Yanfang in the truck, Qiang Hu on the dock, and Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng in the car all saw a ferry honking its whistle, slowly approaching the dock and docking.
Qiang Hu blocked the ferry entrance and only allowed trucks and Chief Guo's car to get on the ferry. No other vehicles were allowed on!
He shouted to the drivers: "This is a special situation! You all wait for the next one!"
He took his brothers on the ferry and immediately took control of the cab.
He shouted to the ferry driver: "Let's sail! Let's sail quickly!"
In full view of the drivers and pedestrians, the ferry, carrying only one truck and one car, finally left the pier and headed for the other side.
25-32
It takes about ten minutes to cross the river by ferry.
In this way, the brothers in the truck, as well as Chief Guo, Chen Zifeng and others in the car, all got out of the car. They all stood on the side of the ship and looked at the vast river.
The spring sun was very warm and shone on them. Water birds flew on the river surface, diving into the river from time to time and picking up small silvery fish in their mouths.
The ferry has reached the middle of the river, and the scenery on the other side gradually becomes clearer.
At this time, Xiao Ancheng, who had been smiling all the time, suddenly felt a horrifying feeling arise in his heart. He looked back at Chen Zifeng beside him uneasily.
It seemed that Chen Zifeng also felt this way. He stared at Xiao Ancheng for a moment, then turned and walked towards the cockpit.
Xiao Ancheng followed closely behind him and whispered: "Tan Zhongfu's explosives can be used on the ferry!"
Chen Zifeng growled at him: "Damn it, I thought of it too!"
