Before he came to Xi'an, he also did some research on the local army or military agencies in Xi'an. Therefore, he just nodded and didn't say much.
Hou Zhenglun smiled and said, "However, a member of the committee is magnanimous and can accommodate all those who oppose him! You can count a long list of such people! These are not big problems. The key point is that I recently received intelligence,
A large number of communist personnel have infiltrated into the 38th Army! This is the greatest harm!"
Chen Zifeng naturally understood this and said, "Sir, you want us to investigate these communist personnel!"
Hou Zhenglun laughed loudly, "Captain Chen is a sensible person, he understands it as soon as he hears it! I have also said that now the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are cooperating. For the open communists, I cannot touch them and must protect them! But for the hidden communists, we cannot
You're welcome! They have bad intentions, especially in the army! That's why they hide! Captain Chen, your mission is to investigate and find them! When necessary, resolutely eliminate them! This is your mission in Xi'an!"
At this time, Hou Zhenglun took out two more files and placed them in front of Chen Zifeng, "Captain Chen, please check these two people by the way. You may gain something."
Chen Zifeng opened the two files and was surprised. One was the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Army, General Sun Weiru! The other was the commander of the 38th Army, Zhao Shoushan!
Hou Zhenglun leaned over and gritted his teeth and said: "These two people have been harboring and conniving with hidden communist personnel a few years ago! I hope you will conduct a secret investigation and find out the real evidence!"
Chen Zifeng stood up and said: "Sir, I understand! We will investigate secretly! If there are results, I will report to you at any time!"
17-13
Chen Zifeng left Shaanxi Station and walked along Maosheng Street for a short distance. He saw Xiao Ancheng and Qiao Yanfang standing under the shade of a tree, waiting for him. They looked at him with strange eyes.
Chen Zifeng briefly introduced their mission. In a nutshell, it was to secretly investigate and find Communist personnel lurking in the 38th Army! After that, he showed them the files of two key generals.
Qiao Yanfang quickly browsed through the files and said with a crooked mouth: "Whether they are communists or not, whether there are communists in the army, let's put these aside for now! These two people are Yang Hucheng's confidants, doesn't that explain the problem!"
Chen Zifeng glared at her, "What does that mean?"
Qiao Yanfang said fiercely: "Find the consequences for the Xi'an Incident!"
Chen Zifeng said: "Stop talking! What we understand can only be understood by us! Just be careful in everything!"
Xiao Ancheng shook his head and said: "Zifeng, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are cooperating now! If we do this kind of thing, we may be in trouble!"
Chen Zifeng shouted: "You think I don't know! This fucking thing is just a matter of letting people stab the spine in the back! But this task is definitely not given to us by Hou Zhenglun! It's from above! It's even the task given to us by the headquarters! You
It’s okay if you don’t want to do it! I don’t want to do it yet! But damn, this is our mission! We have to do it even if we don’t want to do it!”
At this time, Qiao Yanfang shook Xiao Ancheng's arm and said: "Brother, don't worry, we are not fools! We also have to act according to the circumstances! No matter what we do, the first thing is, don't cause trouble for us!"
Xiao Ancheng knew very well that there was no way he could stop this! So he said: "Okay, what should we do now?"
Chen Zifeng looked around and said: "We are going to visit the Fourth Army now! Their commander-in-chief is this person in the file! Sun Weiru! Lieutenant General of the National Army! Damn it, let's just say, we are going to learn about the Fourth Army
The situation of the group army preparing for battle! Isn’t this enough!”
17-14
The headquarters of the Fourth Army of the National Army is located in a university in the south of the city. This university was originally called Northeastern University, and it was obviously moved from the Northeast. But now, this university has been requisitioned by the army.
There were two buildings in the original Northeastern University. The Fourth Army occupied one of the buildings. The other building was used by the "Fourth Wartime Cadre Training Regiment" founded by Hu Zongnan.
Of course, if such a unit is inside, there will be soldiers guarding the gate.
Chen Zifeng and others showed their IDs and soon entered the former campus.
There is a small playground on the campus. At this time, some soldiers are practicing on the playground.
There is a sign hanging at the door of a building next to the playground that reads "General Headquarters of the Fourth Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army"! There are also soldiers standing guard in front of the building.
The soldiers on guard looked at the IDs of Chen Zifeng and the three of them, and their faces were full of doubts, but they still called inside.
A few minutes later, a young major officer ran out of the building and looked even more surprised at the people wearing half-new and half-old clothes at the door. He checked their IDs again and then asked: "Captain Chen, are you there?"
What official business?"
Chen Zifeng smiled and said: "Brother, what's your surname?"
"Excuse me, my surname is Wei."
"Sir Wei."
"Don't call me that, I'm the staff officer in the headquarters."
"Ah, this is Staff Officer Wei. We just want to meet with Commander-in-Chief Sun of our group army. Please inform us."
Staff Officer Wei realized that they were members of the military police. If he didn't lead them to see their superiors, he might not be able to send them away! Finally, he led them upstairs and asked them to wait in the corridor for a moment before entering quickly.
There is a door.
After waiting for ten minutes, Staff Officer Wei came out and said, "Captain Chen, please come in. I hope it won't be too long. The Commander-in-Chief has a very tight schedule today."
Chen Zifeng still had a smile on his face and said, "Don't worry, Counselor Wei, we are just paying a visit today, it's nothing serious."
17-15
Commander-in-Chief Sun's office is a suite. The outside is a quite spacious living room, with old tables, chairs and sofas everywhere. It can be seen that they are all office furniture left over from Northeastern University in the past.
At this time, there were two businessmen-looking people sitting on the sofa, and they seemed to be waiting for Commander-in-Chief Sun.
As soon as they saw that Chen Zifeng, who was almost a beggar, was going to go in first to meet the commander-in-chief, they stood up and said, "We have been waiting for a long time! Why let them go in first!"
Staff Officer Wei said: "They are military police from Chongqing. They have important official business to meet the commander-in-chief. You guys, please wait a moment."
He pushed open the door to the inner office, nodded to Chen Zifeng and the others and said, "Please come in."
17-16
As soon as Chen Zifeng entered the inner door, he saw the tall and generous Commander-in-Chief Sun coming out from behind the desk and looking at them. He thought, he is a Lieutenant General and Commander-in-Chief! He is not generous at all!
He quickly stood at attention, saluted Commander-in-Chief Sun, and said loudly: "Sir, I am Chen Zifeng from the Military Police of the Investigation Division of the Chongqing Garrison Headquarters. These two are my colleagues."
Xiao Ancheng and Qiao Yanfang stood behind him and also saluted Commander-in-Chief Sun.
Commander-in-Chief Sun stretched out his hand to the chairs opposite the desk and said gently: "Guys, please sit down."
Seeing Chen Zifeng and others sitting down, he asked gently: "Captain Chen, what do you have to say?"
So, Chen Zifeng rambled about when they received the order from the superior and when they arrived in Xi'an. Their mission was to go to Shaanxi to see the army's preparations for combat. In the future, they might disturb the superior more often. Please forgive me.
From beginning to end, Commander-in-Chief Sun had a gentle and kind face, nodding occasionally but not saying much.
Chen Zifeng knew that it was impossible for him to deceive Commander-in-Chief Sun with these nonsense words!
The information in the file shows that Chief Sun's life can really be described as ups and downs.
He has followed Yang Hucheng since 1920. He has been a company commander since he was a young boy. He has participated in countless cruel battles and can always overcome difficulties in the most dangerous moments. Whenever Yang Hucheng encounters big or difficult problems, he will handle them all! After the Xi'an Incident
, Yang Hucheng went abroad, but as the chairman of Shaanxi Province, he also served as the commander of the 38th Army! If he did not have extraordinary strategies, he would not be where he is today!
Chen Zifeng talked a lot, and he was a little embarrassed, so he had to stand up and said: "I know that the commander is busy with official duties, and I feel very sorry that we took up the commander's time for so long. Then we will leave."
Commander Sun also stood up, but looked at his watch and said: "It's already that time, let's have a light meal here. I have a few guests, let's eat together. In addition, Commander Zhao of the 38th Army is also here
If you want to know about the situation of war preparations, you can contact him." He looked at the young people in front of him one by one and said, "How about it?"
Chen Zifeng said hurriedly: "Sir, you are so kind. We, we should be respectful and obey your orders. Thank you very much, sir."
With a smile on his face, Chief Sun left his desk, stretched out his hand to Chen Zifeng, and motioned for them to go out.
Chen Zifeng didn't dare to overstep his bounds, so he hurriedly opened the door and waited at the door.
Chief Sun went out and said to the two businessmen: "Gentlemen, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. Let's have a casual dinner together and talk while we eat. Invite you two."
17-17
The canteen of the headquarters is on the first floor. It is a large room where many male and female officers eat.
There is a small room next to it, which is obviously a place where senior officers eat. But from the perspective of Chen Zifeng and others, it is also very simple. There is a large round table and a circle of chairs, all of which are semi-old. There is no decoration on the wall.
Chief Sun took the seat, asked the two businessmen to sit next to him, and then motioned for Chen Zifeng and others to sit down as well.
How dare Chen Zifeng and the others sit down casually. There are still people who haven't come in yet. They are just standing at the table waiting.
After a while, a senior officer came in. Commander Sun introduced him. It turned out that he was Commander Zhao of the 38th Army!
Chief Sun asked: "Are there any other guests?"
Commander Zhao said: "They went to wash their hands and will be back soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened, and the first person to come in was Liao Ruolan.
Qiao Yanfang screamed immediately, rushed over and grabbed her hand, shook it again and again, and shouted: "Sister, we are so destined, I didn't expect to see you here!"?
