Chapter 1612 Don’t Keep Going Forward
The banks of the Luo River are bustling with activity.
Xiang Chu took the shadow spies fishing and had a good harvest.
At noon, everyone grilled fish and made soup for lunch.
Zhang Fei looked towards Luoyang City and said worriedly:
"Brother Xiang! Why haven't Lao Liu and the others come back yet?"
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! Old Liu will definitely come back after having a full meal."
“Who is eating well?”
Liu Zhengxiong's voice rang out, and he rushed over like the wind.
Xiang Chu laughed and said, "Old Liu! Not eating a full meal is not like your style."
Liu Zhengxiong shook his head and said, "Don't mention it! I walked all over the city and there wasn't a single open grain store. Unfortunately, we also rescued Hu Changsheng from the Central Bureau of Investigation agents..."
After Xiang Chu finished listening to his story about his chance encounter in the city, he said anxiously, "Not good! We must inform Hu Changsheng and make sure he is on high alert to avoid falling into the trap of the White Party spies."
Liu Zhengxiong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! I've already reminded Hu Changsheng."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Hu Changsheng is a new student. The Li Deshui you mentioned must be doing very well, as his name suggests. I'm afraid the captain of the Luxigan unit won't listen to Hu Changsheng."
Liu Zhengxiong laughed and said, "You're not a fortune teller, how can you see through Li Deshui's character? Oh, right! The person I saw at the noodle stall wasn't necessarily Li Deshui."
Xiang Chu said angrily, "Whether it's true or not, it all comes from your mouth. But for safety's sake, I still have to report to headquarters."
After saying this, he took the radio and sent a message.
Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "Well! Better send a telegram, just in case!"
Xiang Chu asked doubtfully, "Old Liu! Did you really not buy any food?"
Liu Zhengxiong shook his head and said, "No! But Heping found some dried sweet potatoes. Heping! Quickly take out the dried sweet potatoes and let everyone roast them and eat them."
Liu Heping hurriedly took out a bag of dried sweet potatoes and said with a wry smile:
"Boss! This is all the food we found."
Xiang Chu took a piece of dried sweet potato and praised it, "During this famine, it's great that you can find something to eat."
At this time, Xiaoliu, who was in charge of reconnaissance, ran over and reported loudly:
"Report! A battalion of nationalist troops has burst out of the East City Gate and is heading our way."
Liu Zhengxiong shook his head and said, "It must be those guys from the Central Bureau of Investigation who are trying to harm us."
Xiang Chu hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Brothers! We will not engage with the national army. Pack up your things and cross the river immediately!"
"Yes!"
Everyone accepted the order in unison.
Liu Zhengxiong asked anxiously, "How can we cross such a wide river?"
Qian Fu smiled and said, "Old Liu! We've already figured it out. The water in this section of the riverbed isn't deep, so we can ride across on horseback. The boss has already tried it out."
Liu Zhengxiong smiled and said, "It seems you did a lot of work during the day."
Xiang Chu put on his backpack, jumped on the leading horse, and shouted:
"Cross the river!"
He rode his horse into the Luo River and headed towards the other side of the river.
The shadow spies hurriedly mounted their horses and followed closely behind him.
Chongqing, Office of the Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
Zheng Jie said bitterly, "Commander! The people from the Central Bureau of Investigation are truly disgusting. They actually falsely accused me of injuring one of their people in Luoyang. My body is in Chongqing, so is my soul in Luoyang?"
Dai Nong laughed heartily and said, "Old Zheng! You don't have to be angry. If we didn't have this information, would we have sent the Luoyang garrison to kill the person impersonating you? Haha!"
Zheng Jie asked with a smile, "Commander! You're so happy, do you think the people playing me are Chu Xi's guys?"
Dai Nong said tacitly, "I didn't say it was him. Otherwise, if he was beaten to death, the three women in the Chu Mansion would definitely make trouble for me."
Zheng Jie said with a smile: "They are just three widows, why should you be afraid of them?"
Dainong rolled his eyes at him and said angrily, "Don't underestimate them. They're not easy to deal with. Go ask the Luoyang Intelligence Station who those Central Bureau of Investigation guys are trying to catch."
Zheng Jie laughed and said, "Commander! I've already asked around. Central Bureau agents are arresting Eighth Route Army cadres in Luoyang."
Dainong asked in confusion, "The KMT and the CCP are still cooperating, and the Central Bureau of Investigation dares to arrest Eighth Route Army soldiers so brazenly?"
Zheng Jie said with a smile, "Commander! Isn't the KMT-CCP cooperation just a cover? Haven't we arrested enough underground party members, Eighth Route Army soldiers, and New Fourth Army soldiers?"
Dai Nong scolded him, "You idiot! We've been operating behind the scenes. When have we ever openly arrested Red Party members in broad daylight?"
Zheng Jie nodded and said, "That's right!"
Dai Nong picked up the phone, connected with Chen Guo, and asked with a smile, "Director Chen! I heard you caught a big red fish in Luoyang?"
Chen Guo said proudly, "That's right! But you're pretty well-informed. Haha!"
Dai Nong said with a smile, "Director Chen! Now that the KMT and the CCP are collaborating, I advise you not to be too ostentatious. Otherwise, if the higher-ups come to question you, you'll be in big trouble."
Chen Guo smiled and said, "Thanks for the reminder! I understand this better than you."
Dai Nong asked with a smile, "You let your men act like bandits? And kill them mid-sentence?"
"Don't tell you!"
Chen Guo laughed and hung up the phone.
Dai Nong angrily scolded: "What a fool! And he's showing off."
Zheng Jie laughed and said, "Commander! He only kills small fish, but you kill big fish."
Dai Nong nodded and said, "It's still a big worry! From now on, who will compete with me?"
Li Li walked out of the inner room and reported, "Commander! The Luoyang Intelligence Station called. You asked them to hunt down the person impersonating Assistant Director Zheng, but the operation failed."
Dainong and Zheng Jie looked at each other, their good mood instantly disappeared.
Zheng Jie said anxiously, "Secretary Li! They didn't say how they failed?"
Li Li shook her head and said, "No!"
Dai Nong ordered, “Call the Luoyang Intelligence Station and have them continue to send people to hunt down the leader.”
Zheng Jie hurriedly said, "And anyone who impersonates me and ruins my reputation must be killed."
"Yes!"
Li Li hurriedly accepted the order.
Southeast of Luoyang, Wan'an Mountain.
An Eighth Route Army team of more than 50 people was running on a mountain path.
There were more than a dozen heroic female warriors inside, trying hard to keep up with the team.
A man on horseback caught up with him and shouted:
"Changsheng! There's danger ahead, don't go any further!"
Everyone stopped and raised their guns towards the Kuomintang soldiers who were galloping towards them on horseback.
Hu Changsheng saw clearly that the person riding the horse was Liu Heping, and said anxiously:
"Captain! Those who are coming are our comrades. Don't shoot."
The captain, a tall Shandong man in his 30s, shouted, "Comrades, put down your guns! Changsheng! Come with me up there and take a look."
"Yes!"
Hu Changsheng hurriedly accepted the order.
He glanced at Li Deshui in the crowd with concern and followed the captain's footsteps.
Liu Heping dismounted and looked at the captain and asked, "Changsheng! Who is this?"
The leader of the cadre team extended his hand to shake his, and said cheerfully:
"Little brother! I'm Zhang Dapeng, the captain of the Luxigan unit. Who are you?"
Hu Changsheng said hurriedly: "Captain! He is a comrade on the hidden front, and his name cannot be revealed."
Zhang Dapeng was startled, then nodded and said, "Okay, young comrade! Tell me, why can't we continue moving forward?"
Liu Heping took out a map, pointed at a spot, and said, "Captain Zhang! According to reliable intelligence, there's a regiment of Nationalist troops in the Colorful Canyon, posing as bandits, preparing to ambush you."
Zhang Dapeng asked in surprise, "Is this information reliable?"
Liu Heping nodded and said, "Of course it's reliable! There's a spy planted by the Central Bureau of Investigation among you who revealed the marching route to the Central Bureau of Investigation. I met him in Luoyang City.
Changsheng! Is this the Li Deshui you mentioned earlier? "
Hu Changsheng shook his head and said, "Li Deshui doesn't have access to the radio station, and he didn't go to the noodle stall to eat noodles."
Zhang Dapeng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! Let the little brother identify all the people on the spot and find the Central Bureau of Investigation agents!"
