King of Secret Service

Page 413

A few days ago, the specific work of the Chongqing camp has been taken over by the Military and Political Council. The Chongqing camp has become an empty shell, and the special commissioner he sent to Sichuan has only one task left, which is to integrate Brother Pao's forces.

Li Huan has been in Sichuan and Sichuan for more than half a year, and most of the bandit forces and Paoge forces around Chongqing have been subdued, and a small part have been wiped out.

Just a few minutes ago, Li Huan received a call from the military command headquarters, asking him to report to the headquarters.

It was already the beginning of the lights and the beginning of the night in the mountain city. He didn't understand why the headquarters asked him to report on his duties. Besides, he was sent by General Liang and had nothing to do with Dai Li.

However, since it was Shangfeng's order, he still had to go there, after all, from a certain point of view, he was also a member of the military command.

Li Huan changed into the military uniform of the lieutenant colonel, and led the guards to the headquarters of the Chongqing Military Command.

Since the expansion of the Military Intelligence Department into the Military Command Bureau, the staffing of the Military Command Headquarters has increased dramatically, and many unfamiliar faces have also been added to various departments.

None of this has anything to do with him. He knows in his heart that although he has the identity of the Military Command Bureau, he has nothing to do with the Military Command Bureau. His immediate superior is General Liang Xiao.

Chongqing, Military Command Headquarters.

Li Huan's car was stopped by guards when it reached the gate, and a soldier in camouflage uniform saluted, "Sir, please get out of the car."

Li Huan got out of the car, at this moment, a lieutenant officer ran over to salute: "Sir, the general is waiting for you in the office."

"General"

Li Huan frowned.

"Sir, please follow the humble officer over here."

The lieutenant officer politely made a gesture of please.

Puzzled in Li Huan's heart, he found that there were some more camouflage soldiers in the military command headquarters. These soldiers were wearing camouflage helmets, holding German submachine guns in their hands, standing tall and vigilant.

Come to the last building of the Military Command Headquarters.

The lieutenant officer went to the door and stopped: "I will wait for you."

"Oh."

Li Huan paused for a moment, then walked into the building. As soon as he entered, there was a female officer waiting at the stairs. At the corner of the stairs, there were two soldiers in camouflage.

"Adjutant Li."

Chen Hua stepped on his riding boots and walked over.

"Adjutant Chen."

Li Huan knew Chen Hua. He knew that this beautiful and enchanting woman was General Liang's adjutant and the second adjutant after him. Now that Chen Hua appeared here, there is only one explanation, that is... General Liang also in this office building.

"The general is waiting for you in the office, and he asked you to go up alone."

Chen Huadao.

"Okay, I'll go see the general first."

Li Huan nodded, and walked up from the second floor to the door of the office with lights on.

"Report."

A loud voice came from outside the door.

Liang Xiao, who was reviewing the documents, raised his head and glanced outside: "Come in."

Li Huan stepped on his leather boots and walked in, stood at attention and saluted: "Li Huan, who is a humble worker, has been ordered to report on his duties."

"Li Huan, long time no see."

Liang Xiao smiled slightly, sat up from the chair, and signaled Li Huan to sit down and talk.

"At the beginning of the Battle of Songhu, I bid farewell to the general at the police academy. It has been more than half a year. In a short while, the general has become a world-renowned general. The news of your expedition to the north and south is reported every day in the newspapers. The humble staff here In the land of Sichuan and Sichuan, I am concerned about your news every day, General, and look forward to the news of your victory in commanding the national army to defeat the Japanese army on the battlefield."

When Li Huan spoke, his eye sockets were slightly red.

"Time flies. You have been in Sichuan for almost a year. If I remember correctly, last March, I asked you to bring people to Chongqing, and let you buy a lot of properties in Chongqing, and let you Secretly protect my family."

Liang Xiao personally poured Li Huan a glass of water, sat down and said.

"Don't worry, during the past half a year in Chongqing, I have met many senior military and political officials, whether it is the local generals of the Sichuan Army or the senior military and political officials of our government. They know that I belong to you. Life is quite comfortable, your family is also living a good life, with the care of the Chongqing military and political department, and the covert protection of Brother Pao's forces, you are safe and sound, you can rest assured about this."

Li Huan said.

"You are calm and introverted, and I am relieved of that."

It was precisely because Liang Xiao liked Li Huan's calm temperament and his ability to strike with a sword, that he sent him to Chongqing to protect the safety of his family.

"General, let me tell you about the distribution of power in Chongqing. It is mainly local social organizations. Pao Gehui is the dominant family. In addition to... Pao Gehui, there are Gelaohui, Qinggang Branch, and Giant Whale Gang. , the Shahai Gang, etc..., these... Gang forces are distributed in eastern Sichuan and southern Sichuan, controlling the sea and land transportation business in eastern Sichuan and southern Sichuan, as well as local banks, pharmacies, Tea shop, tobacco shop, etc..., these gang forces are like tarsus worms, not only devouring the people in central Sichuan, but also infiltrating all walks of life in central Sichuan, such as Fan Shaozeng, who is a member of the 88th Army The Lieutenant General is also the leader of the Pao Brotherhood, such as Yang Sen, the commander-in-chief of the group army, the second-level general, and the helm of the Pao Brotherhood. There are these... Military and political leaders These... gang forces can run amok, private criminal law, clever tax collection, in this place of Sichuan, the government's orders are not as good as the private rules of the gang forces. I feel deeply humbled."

Li Huan sighed.

"How about the local banditry"

Liang Xiao asked.

"There are hundreds of bandits, big and small, in Sichuan. I once led my troops to wipe out a few bandit dens of the common people. These... bandits are big smokers, and they rely on robbery to maintain their livelihoods on weekdays. To earn a living, I go to the opium dens in the city to smoke big cigarettes and drink flower wine if I have a little money. I also shot and killed some bandits who caused harm to one side. It didn't have much deterrent effect, but it made the bandits around them even more rampant. , In the past few days, Beizhi is planning to borrow troops from the garrison headquarters to attack the bandit dens again, and clear the surrounding bandits for the government."

Li Huan said.

"borrowing troops"

Liang Xiaojian frowned slightly. As the majestic commander of the Nanjing Garrison, he has 10,000+ troops under his command. Does he still need to borrow troops from others?

"It's like this. There are only more than 100 action members under the humble staff. It's okay to fight some small bandits. When encountering big bandit dens, it seems that the troops are weak. And suppressing bandits is also a matter of the garrison headquarters. I borrow troops and they are also willing."

Li Huan explained.

Chapter 1: Poisoning at the Beginning of the Morning

"Leave this matter aside for the time being. After I return to Nanjing, I will withdraw a battalion of troops from the Special Warfare Division and come to Chongqing to obey your dispatch and cooperate with you to complete the extermination of the bandits around Chongqing. Of course, we not only want to exterminate Bandits, we must also recruit bandits, and for...those bandits who are forced to become bandits, we must also give them a chance to serve the party and the country."

Liang Xiao said.

"What you said is very true. Not all bandits are full of evil. Some are indeed forced to go to the mountains and fall into the grass. Now that the whole country is fighting the war, these... bandits are also a wave of evil. Small forces, if used well, may be able to form a fighting force."

Li Huan said.

Liang Xiao smiled slightly: "The camp in Chongqing is now an empty shell. It is useless for you, a special commissioner, to go to the camp. It just so happens that the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau lacks a left-behind director. From now on, you will stay at the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau. Of course, you The important task of suppressing bandits and integrating gang forces still requires a proper identity."

After speaking, he took out a letter of commission, which was issued by the attendant's room of the Military and Political Council.

Lieutenant Colonel Li Huan was appointed as the director of the Sichuan Bandit Suppression Supervision Office.

Liang Xiao smiled and handed the letter of appointment to Li Huan, saying: "This is the proper identity I asked for from the commissioner. Of course, the so-called Bandit Suppression Supervisory Office is just... a name, and there is no need to list it or Recruiting soldiers and buying horses is just...a formal title, so that when you do things, you don't have to be timid, just do it freely, and I will stand up for you if something goes wrong."

"Thank you General, I will definitely clean up the bandits in Central Sichuan to ensure the absolute safety of the government in Chongqing."

Li Huan said.

Liang Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Except for... bandit suppression, for... these... gang forces, those that should be integrated must also be integrated and eliminated. Those who need to be resolutely eliminated, those who should be drawn, and how to do it, you just have to know in your mind."

"The committee attaches great importance to the banditry in Sichuan and ordered me to eradicate all banditry within three months. Now I entrust this task to you. You must not disappoint my expectations of you."

"Don't worry, general, I guarantee that all bandits will be wiped out within three months. Those who should be eliminated, those who should be wooed, and those who should be integrated will never be left behind."

Li Huan hurriedly stood at attention, raised his head and promised.

"Suppressing bandits is one aspect, and pacifying all forces in central Sichuan is another aspect. Now that Chongqing has become the rear area, countless people have poured into this mountain city. The Japanese must have sent a lot of eyeliners. Don't let their spies follow Collusion between local gangs, you must pay special attention to this point, and don't let it: they took advantage of the loophole."

Liang Xiao exhorted.

"Humble job has been written down."

Li Huan nodded hurriedly.

Next, Liang Xiao arranged some other things, and chatted with Li Huan for a while... the local conditions and customs in Central Sichuan, and the rivalry between various forces in Central Sichuan.

Unknowingly, it was late at night, Liang Xiao waved Li Huan to go back first, he was going to rest.

"General, it's hard for you to go home. Why don't you go home and see that your uncle and aunt miss you often. When they know that you led troops to fight against the enemy on the front line in Songhu, they danced happily. Uncle often said you Glory to the lintel of the Liang family is the pride of the Liang family."

Li Huan said with a smile.

Liang Xiao looked at the sky, looking a little lonely. Since he left, he and his family have never seen each other again. When he came to Chongqing this time, he planned to go home. After all, there are still parents alive at home. Son of man, I should go to visit my parents, but it's getting late now, so it's not convenient to go back.

"Today is too late, you come over tomorrow morning, we go back together."

Liang Xiao patted Li Huan on the shoulder and said.

"That's right, it's too late at night now, it's better to go back tomorrow morning, you have a good rest, I'll go back first."

Li Huan said.

"Let's go back."

Liang Xiao waved his hand, sent Li Huan out the door, turned around and returned to the office.

Looking at the stack of official documents piled up on the desk, he shook his head helplessly. These are the documents that need to be reviewed by the headquarters of the Military Control Bureau. They are all official documents related to money, food and equipment expenses, and he needs to sign them personally, just going through the motions.

...The next day, the sky just dawned.

The smog was hazy, and a fresh air enveloped the mountain city. Looking from the window, the whole mountain city was wrapped in smog, like a fairy mountain.

Liang Xiao stretched his waist, held a cigarette between his fingers, and was wearing a general's coat, standing in front of the window looking at the morning scene outside.

After a while, Chen Hua opened the door and walked in. She was wearing a well-fitting women's military uniform, which set off her perfect figure.

She was holding a tray in her hand, on which was a bowl of fragrant wontons, and two big steamed buns beside it.

Chen Hua put the breakfast on the desk, smiled lightly and said, "Sichuan people like to eat chili, the taste is strong, you can try it."

"it is good."

Liang Xiao smiled slightly, his breakfast was always unshakable, wontons with vegetarian buns.

Chen Hua has been with him for so long and is very familiar with his habit.

He turned around and sat down, picked up the steamed stuffed bun to eat, and suddenly saw a little bit of dirt under the steamed stuffed bun, which seemed to have got dirt on it, he frowned and said, "You dropped the steamed stuffed bun on the ground."

"No, I bought wonton buns from the stall in front of the headquarters..."

Before Chen Hua finished speaking, her pretty face had already changed color. She hurriedly took out the silver needle from her pocket, inserted it into the ravioli for an interview, and saw that the tip of the silver needle had turned black.

Wontons are poisonous.

Then, she took out the second silver needle, inserted it into the bun and tried it, only to see that the tip of the needle quickly turned black.

Buns are also poisonous.

Moreover, looking at the black color at the tip of the silver needle, it is a very poisonous substance. If Liang Xiao had just drank a mouthful of wontons and ate a mouthful of buns, he must have been poisoned by now.

"Even after breakfast, there are people who want me to die. It seems that the water in Chongqing is very deep. They even know exactly when I arrived in Chongqing and when I came to the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau. It seems that the person who wants me to die It's not easy."

Liang Xiao tsk-tsk said with a smile.

"It's a humble job and carelessness, please punish the general."

Chen Hua blamed herself quite a bit. These days, Liang Xiao ate food from the headquarters, which was cooked by his own people, so there was no need to test the poison. This time when she came to Chongqing, she thought that Liang Xiao loved to eat wonton buns. Bought a bowl of wontons and steamed stuffed buns at the gate of the police station, carelessly forgot to test the poison, luckily she didn't cause trouble, otherwise, even if she died, it would be too late.

"It's okay, there are too many people who want my life, but it's a pity that my life can't be given away casually."

Liang Xiao was also angry. He was poisoned on the first morning when he arrived in the mountain city. It seems that those... who wanted his life couldn't wait, and even used this method.

Chapter 181 Returning to Nanjing

The consequences of Liang Xiao's anger are very serious. Dang even ordered the guards to surround him from the back door, arrest all the hawkers who set up stalls at the entrance of the headquarters of the Military Control Bureau, let Chen Hua go out to identify them, and check these by the way...... ..food and clothing from street vendors.

The result of the investigation was as he expected. It was a planned murder. The other party used the method of casting a wide net. After the net was cast, they withdrew. According to the vendors who set up the stalls, there were two vendors After Chen Hua entered the military gate, he left quickly, the exact direction is unknown.

This sudden assassination reminded Liang Xiao that in the future not only travel, but also pay special attention to food, the enemy hidden in the dark has already exhausted all means, even poisoned to kill, the next Assassination will do nothing.

"General, you are too careless in a humble position, please punish me."

Chen Hua blamed himself.

"It's okay, don't buy things from outside casually in the future, the enemy in the dark is already crazy, and it is estimated that they will take... actions in a short time."

Liang Xiao knew very well in his heart that his performance on the battlefield had already made the Japanese invaders and the base camp of the Japanese army feel seriously threatened. The poisonous killing this time was very likely... planned by the Japanese. Of course, other people were not ruled out. suspects, such as certain high-level officials of the national government, such as local factions, etc...

"The humble staff will remember the lesson this time, and will never do it again next time."

Chen Hua stood respectfully in front of the desk.

"Notify Li Huan that I won't be going home this time. Let him send more people to protect the safety of the family."

Liang Xiao said.

"The general finally came to Chongqing, why don't you go home and see your uncle and aunt?"
