Chapter 207 North China Crisis (8)
Chapter 207: Crisis in North China (8)
Chen Xintong was lying in a large bathtub and was bathing comfortably. The newspaper team and medical team originally lived in a hotel near the Shen family compound, but later, at the invitation of the teacher's wife Yu Wenwan, he moved into the West Cross Courtyard of the Shen family compound. After all, it was a wealthy family moved from Shanghai. Although the house was built in the traditional Chinese style, each room was equipped with European imported sanitary ware, bathtub, flush toilet, a soft big bed, and a gentle down duvet, which was much better than a hotel. Although Chen Xintong had been on the battlefield and had a strong adaptability to the environment, as a woman, she enjoyed it all.
This time, Chen Xintong was the first time to meet the wife of the master. Yu Wenwan's beautiful and charming appearance and elegant temperament made her, who had always been quite satisfied with her appearance, feel a little ashamed and even a little jealous.
Today, the medical team finished the work of checking the disabled soldiers' physical examination. Chen Xintong specially invited Lin Jingyun and Wang Xiaofei to visit Taibaiyan indicated in Wanxian. She could see that Lin Jingyun had always been very careful about her. Chen Xintong didn't care about this. The secret service was famous and many people kept their distance from them. Of course, Lin Jingyun was no exception.
Originally, she was very interested in Lin Jingyun. The source of interest was that the beautiful Vice President Lin was not only a classmate of the teacher Chen Xiuwen, but was also the object of Chen Xiuwen's pursuit, and even killed three Japanese in the street to save her. According to her later understanding, Lin Jingyun seemed to be very disgusted with Chen Xiuwen, and was also an activist of the student movement of Fudan University. She usually labeled such people as "friendly" in the secret service office. However, Lin Jingyun unexpectedly appeared in Shen Xiuwen's army four years later, which forced Chen Xintong to arouse suspicion. In addition to serving as the confidential director of the Rongyi Division, Chen Xintong also had a mission to take care of Director Dai himself before leaving, that is, while monitoring Chen Xiuwen, he should protect the young general valued by the chairman.
However, when visiting Taibaiyan today, the cute Wang Xiaofei next to Lin Jingyun unexpectedly attracted Chen Xintong's attention. With the expansion of the troops, there are many newly recruited young students like Wang Xiaofei in Rongyi Division. When on the boat, Chen Xintong's temptation of Wang Xiaofei was also due to professional habits, and everything sounded like nothing wrong. There are many examples of exiled students joining the army. On the contrary, Chen Xintong has a good impression of Wang Xiaofei's innocence and cuteness, and can also use her to approach Lin Jingyun. So, we went to Taibaiyan today to visit.
First of all, during the climbing process, Chen Xintong found that Wang Xiaofei was in good physical strength. When Lin Jingyun was exhausted and panting, she was still laughing and laughing as if nothing had happened. Secondly, when Wang Xiaofei was walking in front of her, Chen Xintong felt a calluse in her hand that seemed to be slowly fading. It was this discovery that immediately aroused Chen Xintong's vigilance. As an excellent intelligence officer, she immediately realized that this hand should have been a hand that often touched a gun.
Since the Double Twelve Incident, the National Government stopped suppressing the Communist Party, and during this period, the GCD infiltration was very fast. Not only was it active in various local forces, but it also slowly penetrated into the central military system. The task given by Director Dai to monitor and protect Chen Xiuwen was to prevent the GCD from winning and corrupting him. At the same time, since the war started, the infiltration of Japanese spies has also been omnipresent. During the Battle of Songhu, the case of the confidential secretary of the Executive Yuan, Huang Jun, who was confidential secretary of the Executive Yuan, was the most successful example of Japanese spies. In this extraordinary period, Wang Xiaofei's suspicion had to attract attention. The young force of Rongyi Division, which had seen many extraordinary achievements, was very likely to become an important target for the infiltration of the Chinese G and Japanese.
The water in the bathtub gradually became cooler. I took a comfortable hot bath and washed away the fatigue during the day, but Chen Xintong, who was worried, did not feel relaxed because of this.
She stood in front of the dressing mirror and wiped her body with a towel. Her almost perfect body appeared in the mirror, a body that had never been cultivated by a man. Director Dai, who once admired her very much, always wanted to cultivate her into a secret weapon. However, Chen Xintong did not want to become a tool herself. Because of her talent in intelligence, she saved her from performing dirty tasks and becoming an excellent intelligence officer. By chance, she had the opportunity to come to the predecessor of the Rongyi Division, the 20th Independent Brigade, the young, handsome, and savage brigade commander, who had been using troops like a god, suddenly won her favor. Her relationship these days and her words on the ferry made her favor turn into respect and admiration.
After drying her body, Chen Xintong admired her twilight image in the mirror with a little narcissistic view. She was already twenty-five years old. She entered the secret service at the age of eighteen, which made her no longer have the delicate dreams of her peers. She was calm and would not easily move her feelings, but now there is a person who has touched her heartstrings and has appeared in her dream more than once.
According to regulations, if you have doubts, you should report to the secret service. Should you report it or remind Chen Xiuwen first? At this moment, Chen Xintong's feelings gained the upper hand.
Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door sounded, and a telegrapher shouted quickly from outside the door: "Director Chen, Director Chen."
Chen Xintong quickly put on his sleepy mood, opened the door, frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter? He was in a panic."
The telegrapher handed the telegram to her and said anxiously: "Director Chen and Deputy Chief of Staff Chen's urgent telegram are requested to go to the presenter's seat immediately."
Chen Xintong picked up the telegram and saw: At 7 p.m. on October 1, the Neon Army North China Garage Army bombarded Wanping County, and the 219th Regiment of the 110th Brigade of the 37th Division of the 29th Army fought back. The war began in North China!
Chen Xintong was shocked and hurriedly said, "You should keep the radio station right away and report any situation immediately. I will go to the presenter's seat now."
"Yes." The telegrapher quickly took the order and left in a hurry.
Chen Xintong knew that Chen Xiuwen had been paying great attention to the situation in North China during this period. He quickly changed into military uniforms and hurried to Chen Xiuwen's residence across the courtyard of the east.
"Who?" As soon as I arrived at the gate of the yard, I heard a low shout in the darkness.
"It's me." Chen Xintong responded quickly, but did not stop and continued to walk into the yard.
"It turned out to be Director Chen. Is there anything wrong with Director Chen?" Wang Xiaoshuan, the deputy squad leader of the guard squad carrying a submachine gun. Seeing that it was Chen Xintong, he quickly put the gun down, but the person still blocked Chen Xintong's way.
"If there is an emergency, you must report to the master's seat immediately." Chen Xintong stopped and said anxiously.
"This, Director Chen, Master and Madam have already fallen asleep. Can you send it here tomorrow?" Wang Xiaoshuan pointed at the window where the lights had already been turned off with a puzzled look on his face.
"No, the situation is urgent, you must report to the master's seat immediately." Chen Xintong looked at the black window, hesitated for a moment, and pushed Wang Xiaoshuan in front of him and walked straight in.
"Tu tuk tuk" Chen Xintong knocked on the door.
"Who?" Chen Xiuwen's very impatient voice came from inside, and Yu Wenwan's low voice was also heard.
Chen Xintong felt a sense of sourness in his heart, and he deliberately raised the volume and reported loudly: "The report manager's seat, Deputy Chief of Staff Chen's urgent telegram."
"Wait a minute, I'll come out soon." Chen Xiuwen's voice inside immediately became soaring. Then with a "bang", the light inside lit up.
Not long after, the door opened.
"I'm sorry, I'm disturbing you to rest. Deputy Chief of Staff Chen urgently sent a message." Chen Xintong said seriously, and handed the message on both hands.
Chen Xiuwen lowered his head and swept the telegram, and his brows frowned into the character Sichuan. What should have happened still happened. Although the time has been delayed, the location is still exactly the same as in history.
"Wang Xiaoshuan."
"Here." With Chen Xiuwen's loud shout, Wang Xiaoshuan hurriedly ran over from the gate of the yard.
"Import Director Zheng and President Pan to come to me right away."
"yes."
"Director Chen, please pay close attention to the radio station. If there is any situation, report to me immediately. In addition, please notify the medical team and be prepared. We will set off immediately tomorrow morning and return to Wuhan. Your communication team will also prepare." Then Chen Xiuwen said to Chen Xintong again.
"Yes." Chen Xintong opened his mouth and wanted to say something else, but when he saw Chen Xiuwen's anxious look, he hesitated for a moment and did not say it out loud, and stood attentively and said.
When she returned to the room, Yu Wenwan had already gotten up. It was obvious that she had heard Chen Xiuwen's words at the door just now, and asked in panic: "Luanfu, will you leave tomorrow morning? What's wrong?"
"The Japanese have taken action in North China tonight. The troops may be transferred to the front line at any time. I must go back to Wuhan immediately." Chen Xiuwen frowned.
"Ah? It's going to fight again, liberation, you..." Yu Wenwan said anxiously.
"Wenwan." Chen Xiuwen took Yu Wenwan's hand and sat down, saying, "I am a soldier and must be prepared to go to fight and kill the enemy at any time. Don't go to Wuhan with me this time, stay at home and take good care of my father."
Yu Wenwan looked at Chen Xiuwen with tears in her eyes and nodded: "Don't worry, I will take good care of my father. You must pay attention to safety."
Seeing Yu Wenwan's sad look, Chen Xiuwen felt a lot of soreness. If there was no such war, how great would it be if he could be with his beloved every day! Chen Xiuwen felt a feeling of love for children and shortness of heroes for the first time.
He raised his hand, wiped out the tears that fell from Yu Wenwan's face, and said with a forced smile: "Stop crying, I will come back after the war. Go to bed, don't wait for me."
"Yeah." Yu Wenwan nodded sobbingly. Looking at her husband's back as she went out, Yu Wenwan subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, secretly looking forward to it: I hope there will be no regrets this time.
Chen Xiuwen came to the front hall, and Zheng Huaishan and Pan Kangliang had already arrived.
"Master, what happened?" Zheng Huaishan saw Chen Xiuwen coming in and asked quickly. Even Pan Kangliang, who had always been steady, looked nervous. He suddenly summoned him urgently in the middle of the night, and something must have happened.
"At 7 o'clock tonight, the Neon Army North China Garages bombarded Wanping County. North China fought." Chen Xiuwen said, and asked Zheng Huaishan and Pan Kangliang to circulate the telegram in his hand.
"I guess I will definitely go north this time. Lao Zheng, you will prepare the supplies immediately from tomorrow. Once the troops set off, I need you to transport the supplies to the location of guidance as soon as possible." The battle is about logistics. With the current scale and equipment of the Rongyi Division, the guns, ammunition, and food and salary assigned by the Ministry of Military Affairs are not enough.
"Yes." Zheng Huaishan knew the situation was serious and quickly responded.
"Kangliang, American goods will be at Ningbo Pier in a while. I will send someone to establish an office in Jiujiang. First, to facilitate our future transportation of materials, and second, some of the materials do not have to be transported back to Wanxian and stored directly in Jiujiang. I will notify you of the specific list at that time." Chen Xiuwen then said to Pan Kangliang.
Before the Neon Army occupied Jiujiang, Jiujiang was an important transit station for materials transporting from Ningbo to Wanxian. All materials were transferred through the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Line to the Nanxun Line and then transported to Wanxian by water. The purpose of Chen Xiuwen setting up an office in Jiujiang was to establish a logistics frontier base in Jiujiang.
"I understand." Pan Kangliang nodded quickly.
"In addition, you can prepare a boat for me, and I will return to Wuhan early tomorrow morning."
"Last night, a passenger ship from Minsheng Company was docked at our Wanxian Wharf and headed to Wuhan early tomorrow morning. I will make arrangements now."
The next morning, Chen Xiuwen, who had not slept for a night, finally left Wanxian and returned to Wuhan. Yu Wenwan, with red eyes, knew at a glance that he had not slept for a night.
"Be careful, be careful about safety." Yu Wenwan, who had not spoken along the way, whispered before Shen Xiuwen got on the boat.
Chen Xiuwen nodded with a smile, regardless of the crowd seeing off at the dock, hugged Yu Wenwan gently into his arms and said softly: "Don't worry, I will pay attention to my safety."
At this time, Yu Wenwan seemed to have forgotten her shyness, and let Chen Xiuwen hug her like this, closed her eyes and said "um" gently.
Lin Jingyun, who had already boarded the boat and stood outside the cabin, looked at the scene on the dock, and felt very complicated in her heart. Seeing Chen Xiuwen finally found his happiness, he was happy for him and also sad for himself.
"I really envy them. They are very happy, aren't they?" At this time, a sigh came from behind.
Lin Jingyun didn't have to look back and knew that it was Chen Xintong, the confidential director whom she usually hated, but had to be careful.
Lin Jingyun took a deep breath, turned around and smiled at Chen Xintong who was walking over, saying, "Yes, the relationship between Master and his wife is really good."
"Vice President Lin, I heard that Master had pursued you before, and it was really hard for me to understand. How could you refuse a very attractive man like Master?" Chen Xintong leaned on the railing beside Lin Jingyun, looked at Lin Jingyun with his head tilted, and asked with a smile.
